The pilgrimage to the Holy Land has begun.

 

The final destination of the pilgrimage is Molech.

 

Walking from the capital to the Holy Land, Molech, in the north, takes about a week—.

 

‘—What is this!’

 

I screamed inside.

 

Whose standard is a week?

 

Walk for an hour and a half, rest for 15 minutes, and eat only 30 minutes three times a day.

 

Showers are only available in the villages we plan to visit, and there are only three villages. 

 

It means washing three times a week.

 

‘Isn’t it crazy?’

 

The curse word escaped without notice, but there was no one to blame. It was my fault for blindly trusting the original and embarking on a pilgrimage.

 

Who knew? It only says, ‘They went on a pilgrimage to Molech.’ 

 

If I had known that not only would I live on the street, but I would also have to pee in the open and dispose of my feces in distributed feces bags…!

 

‘Wow, I miss Dad.’

 

It’s been less than two hours since I left, but I missed my home.

 

‘I must be a fool.’

 

To be honest, I thought that the pilgrimage to the Holy Land was like a travel trip to Europe by the church children…

 

“H, heuk.”

 

Travel trip? What nonsense.

 

This is strictly individual play.

 

No one suggests taking a break when it’s tough, and no one waits when someone falls behind.

 

‘I, I can’t even see Cheshire anymore…’

 

A pilgrimage group walking straight across a forest path near a village.

 

At first, when I was at full strength, I was able to walk side by side with the Commander Cheshire, but…

 

Now, I was following at the very end of a formation with over 50 people.

 

“The air is nice! I feel like I’m ten years younger!”

 

“Ha, what am I doing now…” 

 

Furthermore… these two suspicious priests!

 

Rick and Scar!

 

From the first meeting, something felt off, so I tried to avoid them as much as possible! 

 

‘I can’t shake them off, and it seems like we have to keep walking together!’

 

Among the pilgrimage group, the three who have poor stamina are probably me and these two elderly people. 

 

Maybe that’s why I was unintentionally walking in the back with two people.

 

“Lilith, is it difficult?”

 

Rick looked at me, panting, and asked sadly.

 

“N, no. Heuk… It’s not difficult.”

 

“Would you like Grandpa to carry you?” 

 

“No!”

 

“Then shall I hold you?”

 

“That’s not it!”

 

“Why? It must be hard for you.” 

 

“I’m really fine.” 

 

Why do these crazy grandfathers keep doing this? 

 

It’s his third time saying that he’s going to carry me on his back!

 

Even if it’s the first time we’ve seen each other today, why are you giving me a piggyback ride with that skinny body that looks like it’s about to collapse at any moment?

 

“Leave her alone. She needs to go through some trouble. Does she know what a pilgrimage is and go forward without fear?” 

 

From the beginning, Scar had that attitude, as if I were a nuisance.

 

But dealing with Scar is better than dealing with Grandfather Rick, who kept putting pressure on me. 

 

“Lilith.” 

 

Ah, why are you calling me again?

 

“…”

 

“I think it’s almost time to rest?”

 

I was shocked, as I pretended not to hear anything.

 

How on earth did you know I was holding in my pee?

 

Unless you were watching my faltering steps…?

 

“Let’s pack and go. If you hold it in, you’ll get sick. Grandfather will go with you.”

 

“…Yes?!” 

 

At Rick’s words, several people around us and the two guard knights in the rear looked at us in shock. 

 

It’s strange to see it. 

 

An old man asks an 11-year-old noble girl to go relax with him!

 

“I, it’s okay. I don’t want to pee.” 

 

I’m starting to get scared now.

 

* * *

 

Two old priests, Rick and Scar, begin to overstep their boundaries and become suspicious of Lilith.

 

Their unexpected identities were none other than Enoch and Oscar!

 

Of course, there was a reason why Lilith could never find out who the two were.

 

Four hours before the event occurred.

 

Enoch’s room. 

 

“You really can change your height and facial features? Just like everyone else? Is that possible?”

 

Enoch, who had asked without any expectations, was very surprised.

 

If it’s truly possible, it would indeed be quite practical, but as expected, there would still be considerable potential for misuse… 

 

But for now, it will be quite useful for today’s Enoch.

 

‘I don’t have to hide in front of the princess!’

 

Unheard of, non-existent magic. 

 

Lilith will never be able to guess a situation that goes beyond common sense! 

 

If the child’s leg hurts, he can hold her, and he can also stay close at night to watch over her! 

 

“Tell me. You didn’t mean that I should start making it now, did you?”

 

“What do you mean? Didn’t you go to the training center?” 

 

“…? I did. I have memorized all the magic formulas included in the regular curriculum.” 

 

“But why don’t you know?”

 

“Because there was no such magic?” 

 

There are not many types of practical magic, but the only known transformation magic formulas are to change hair color or eye color.

 

“I know it’s transformation magic, but…”

 

“…?”

 

Oscar tilted his head.

 

“Yeah, that. Simply add eye, nose, mouth, and body coordinates to that modified magic formula and apply it with variations.”

 

Why don’t you know that 1+1 is 2? Oscar looks at himself with an expression like this. 

 

Enoch looked at him blankly and sighed.

 

I’m not a stupid person either.

 

But I feel like I’m becoming stupid when I talk to him.

 

“Lord of the Wizard Tower, I assure you. It’s not because I’m stupid; it’s just that normal people don’t think like you.” 

 

“What are you talking about?”

 

“I just need to apply for it, right? And it’s not something that can be applied. And what about the facial features and body type…If you can change even those things, it’s not application; it’s creation. It’s creation”

 

“Are you being stubborn?”

 

“No, Lord of the Wizard Tower. Don’t bully others just because they aren’t up to your level… you can’t treat it like that. Do I have to give grown-ups character education?”

 

Enoch said, holding Oscar’s shoulder tightly.

 

“Let’s think about it this way. You can solve problems using mathematical formulas that already exist. But how many people can create a completely new formula themselves? Huh?”

 

“Ah, that’s enough. You don’t know, right? Why are you talking so long about how stupid you are?”

 

Phew, this rude guy. Enoch gently closed his eyes and closed his mouth.

 

Oscar said, looking for a pen and paper on Enoch’s table as if it were his own room.

 

“Transformation magic is continuous, so if you can’t keep implementing it in your mind, it becomes useless. If I draw it for you, can you memorize it?”

 

“I’m good at memorizing. Leave it to me.”

 

Enoch said it excitedly.

 

So what if he lacks a bit of character?

 

A savior who will allow his daughter’s first journey, which was supposed to be uncomfortably pursued, to be legally accompanied!

 

* * *

 

In addition to being familiar with transformation magic, the two men completed very thorough preparations in a short period of time.

 

And they followed Lilith’s first trip…

 

* * *

 

Lunch hour.

 

The pilgrimage group stopped and received bread and juice.

 

Mat? There’s no such thing.

 

I just sat on the street, swallowed dry bread for 30 minutes, and then started again. 

 

“Cheshire!”

 

“LIlith.”

 

At every break, I would run forward and Cheshire would run back, so we would meet halfway.

 

“It must be hard, right?”

 

“I’m dying…”

 

Every time I saw Cheshire’s face, I felt like I was going to cry.

 

Cheshire, who brought my lunch, swept away the stones on the ground and laid out a handkerchief. 

 

“Sit down and eat.”

 

“Mhm.”

 

…I need to pee.

 

Having missed the timing, I knelt down with the intention of eating first.

 

I unconsciously raised my head and saw Rick sitting nearby.

 

Rick smiles and waves his hand.

 

‘Ah, really! Why are you like that, really?’

 

I averted my gaze, pretending not to see.

 

He was at the back, so when did he come to the front again?

 

Rick and Scar were never out of my sight for a moment.

 

Now I’m starting to wonder if they’re up to something.

 

“Lilith.”

 

“Mhm?”

 

Two elderly people who are bothersome.

 

Bread without taste.

 

Pee that feels like it’s about to burst.

 

I looked at Cheshire, frowning at my worst condition, and he grabbed my hand and helped me up. 

 

“Why?” 

 

“Come here.” 

 

What is it? I put down the bread and juice I was holding on the handkerchief and followed Cheshire. 

 

Cheshire wandered through the woods next to the road. 

 

After entering quite deeply, he took out a dagger from his pocket, roughly chopped off the weeds that had grown here and there, and handed me a tissue.

 

“Do your business.”

 

Wow.

 

How did you know? It’s a ghost.

 

I was embarrassed, but I couldn’t bear it any longer, so I timidly took the tissue.

 

Cheshire took a few steps away and turned around with his back to me.

 

‘Ah, my dignity…’

 

So it’s not that it’s another hardship, it’s this hardship. 

 

I suppressed the urge to cry and spoke to Cheshire. 

 

“You know, Cheshire…” 

 

“Mhm.” 

 

“P, please go a little further to the side where you can’t hear any noise…” 

 

“….” 

 

Cheshire, who had stopped, soon took a few steps further away, and I squatted down miserably and lifted up the skirt of my pilgrimage uniform.

 

Really…

 

‘I miss my Dad.’ 

 

* * *

 

The pilgrimage group’s bedtime is at 11 PM, and wake-up time is at 5 AM.

 

They receive portable tents distributed to each other, spread them out, and sleep.

 

Nobles who came as a family or people from the same temple spread out a large tent and settled down together.

 

I was going to sleep in a single-person tent next to Cheshire, but… 

 

“Wouldn’t it be scary to sleep alone? Would you like to sleep with Grandfather?”

 

“Hiiik!” 

 

As I was watching Cheshire unfold the tent, Rick suddenly spoke from behind.

 

He wants to sleep together? I think he has crossed the line? 

 

“No! It’s fine!” 

 

I rushed over and hid behind Cheshire. 

 

Cheshire, who seemed surprised by Rick’s strange remarks, stepped in my way and looked at him with a wary eye even as he put up the tent.

 

“Ah, sorry.”

 

Scar, who approached him with a distributed tent on his side, grabbed Rick’s arm and pulled him aside to speak.

 

“Please understand that it’s because our priest is senile.” 

 

Soon, Rick was dragged away by Scar with a regretful expression, and began to spread the tent from afar.

 

No, it’s too close to me to be far away…

 

“Lilith.”

 

Cheshire asked me as I was looking at the two with suspicious eyes.

 

“Are they people you’ve become friends with?”

 

“No… It’s not like that, but I’ve talked to them the most. The Grandfather Priest keeps talking to me. I guess he wants to be friends with me.” 

 

“….” 

 

“He says he has a daughter like me. But he shouldn’t be at an age to have such a young daughter, right? Did he mention his granddaughter incorrectly?”

 

While I was seriously reasoning, Cheshire said, as if trying to reassure me.

 

“Don’t worry. Because the identity of those who belong to the temple is guaranteed. And I’m right next to you. The guards take turns doing night shifts.” 

 

“Ah, mhm! I’m not worried.”

 

The people gathered today will be the same pilgrimage group that appeared in the original work, and there were no problems in the original work.

 

Yeah, that’s what I thought. 

 

* * *

 

Midnight.

 

“I want to pee…”

 

I woke up in the middle of the night because I needed to pee. 

 

It’s still quiet outside.

 

The bright light of a bonfire flickered beyond the thin tent.

 

It looks like I’ll have to wait a while for the sun to dawn…

 

Peeing outside during the day is fine for me, but going through a thick bush at night is a different story. 

 

It’s a night where I can’t even see an inch in front of me, so how would I know what’s going to pop out?

 

I could get bitten on the buttocks by a snake while peeing.

 

‘Let’s just hang in there and pee in the morning.’ 

 

I closed my eyes tightly.

 

And I opened my eyes again in 3 seconds. 

 

I just can’t stand it.

 

‘I’m scared to be alone, so should I ask Cheshire to go with me?’

 

I thought about it, but Cheshire is on night shift tomorrow. So I have to let him sleep well today…

 

‘Phew, let’s go out first.’ 

 

I took some tissues and opened the entrance to the tent a little.

 

And then, stop.

 

In the distance, I saw Rick and Scar sitting in front of the campfire.

 

“…Lor…” 

 

“…Is…” 

 

The two were whispering with their faces pressed against each other.

 

They spoke quietly on purpose, so of course I couldn’t hear anything.

 

‘What are you doing at this time of night without sleeping?’

 

I have felt it since daytime, but their stamina is really good. 

 

I became anxious for no reason, as the suspicious old men were behaving suspiciously in the late hours of the night. 

 

It seems like they are plotting some kind of plot.

 

‘Are they discussing something?’

 

A thought occurred to me for a moment, and I swallowed my saliva.

 

I don’t want to doubt the faithful priests, but…

 

It was suspicious that someone of that age was taking up this difficult pilgrimage path and persistently trying to talk to me and stick close to me

 

Should I say it’s a hunch?

 

Rather than trying to get close to me…

 

‘I felt like I was being watched.’

 

Eventually, I saw the bracelet.

 

‘I’m sorry, priests. If it’s a personal story, I’ll forget it as soon as I hear it. Let me clear up any misunderstandings. I’m really sorry.’

 

It’s an ability that I’ve never used in this way before…

 

‘Let’s turn up the volume of that conversation just a bit in my ears.’

 

1sec/1min

 

1 second of life force for 1 minute of eavesdropping.

 

Cost-effectiveness is the best.

 

Soon, their conversation began to sound clearly in my ears.

 

“Ah, damn it.  I should have done it with a girl.”

 

As soon as I heard Rick’s first words, I was stunned.

 

What do you mean, you should have done it with a girl? 

 

And…

 

‘Did you say damn it?’

 

It was a tone that didn’t suit Rick, who had always been cheerful and friendly. 

 

He was a grandfather who didn’t seem to know anything about swearing…

 

“Do you like girls? Ha, I’m anything but an old man!” 

 

Scar responds bluntly.

 

I was dazed by the conversation between the two who look like human traffickers.

 

“The child is too wary.”

 

“No, why on earth do you have to go all the way to Molech? Let’s just leave this alone and head back with the kid.”

 

What did you say? 

 

“I’m busy, and you have a lot to do too. You’re not saying you’re going to keep doing this for two weeks, are you? When we arrive at the village the day after tomorrow, I will take the child and take care of everything.”

 

“Are you crazy? No way. Princess Rubinstein is on the pilgrimage list, but she suddenly disappears. It will be chaos.” 

 

The moment I heard that far.

 

‘D, don’t tell me!’

 

I covered my mouth in surprise.
