The Hero who rode the material transport elevator up the cliff, stood on the cliff and gazed at them once before turning around and disappearing.
The children stood at the edge of the village until his figure was completely out of sight.
The last one to turn their head was, of course, Cuculli.
A deep regret colored her face.
Sigh, when will I see him again.
Cuculli
Evergreen placed her hand on Cucullis shoulder as if consoling her.
In essence, Cucullis leave of absence was indefinite.
No one knew when she would return.
After stabilizing the situation in the unstable North, it was certain that she could vacate her position.
A few days later, it was difficult for the children returning to their routine in Rosenstark to guess Cucullis feelings.
Hey, why is everyone staring like that!
Cuculli quickly waved her hands to divert attention, choosing a plump old woman as a topic.
The chieftain of the Snow Rabbit tribe stood solemnly in front of the Hero after pouring out a prophecy.
Cuculli approached her and asked.
What was that about?
The hazy eyes turned towards Cuculli.
The scent of bitter herbs.
Cuculli began to doubt if she was in her right mind.
Hmm? What?
I mean the prophecy from the professor. Im curious about its meaning.
She cant help but wonder.
Cuculli recalled the prophecy she received last time.
You must not go now.
Young dragon, you must wait until the hawk comes.
Was it a coincidence?
The prophecy came true.
Even now, although she didnt know what hawk referred to, waiting was the right thing to do.
If she had ignored her uneasy feeling and headed straight to the sanctum
The expeditionary force would have to face the Demonic Church Leader without reinforcements from the professor.
The baptism would undoubtedly end in failure, and she, her friends, and everyone in the village would have perished.
Just imagining it sent shivers down her spine.
Thanks to that, when the old woman suddenly appeared in front of the Hero, Cuculli had no choice but to listen to her prophecy.
The magpie, your secret will be revealed from the burning nest.
But the Heros prophecy was even more ambiguous than hers.
After hearing it, the Hero fell into deep thought and left with an incomprehensible word.
So many prophets.
He seemed indifferent.
But Cuculli felt uneasy for some reason.
It was the moment when she hesitated, waiting for the old womans reply.
Uh, umm!
The old womans body swayed greatly.
Foam gushed from his mouth.
It seems youve been exposed to too much cold wind. Your condition
The Snow Rabbit girl, Ilya, hastily supported her and led her into the village.
The children, who looked at each other with bewildered expressions, spoke again.
It was Gerald who spoke first.
Well, what do we do now for the remaining time? Itll be boring to just sit around.
They had to stay in this deserted village for a few more days.
The outskirts of the Great Snow Sea were not a particularly pleasant area for sightseeing.
At first, it was nice to admire the natural scenery, but things like that tended to get boring quickly.
Lets comfort each other with a heartfelt farewell with this sister. Come here.
As Cuculli approached with her arms open, Gerald recoiled in alarm.
Oh, dont come near with those horns!
Karen and Evergreen scolded him one after another.
Oh, where is the boredom. Gerald, we should train.
When will he come to his senses? Has he forgotten what the professor said?
They realized how strong the enemies they would face someday were, and they felt it deeply at this opportunity.
In recent months, they had developed tremendously and inadvertently became arrogant.
But weve gained something.
Realization.
There had been a perilous real battle where life and death hung in the balance.
It was stranger that there were no sparks of skill improvement.
They needed to internalize it through training as soon as possible.
Their professor seemed to expect this.
You must be different when you return to Rosenstark.
Thats why he left such words.
The moment when the children pondered how to solve the task left by the Hero, there was a moment when Leciel abruptly turned her head.
It was towards the awkwardly standing boy a few steps behind.
Leciel, with her clear red eyes, startled Lucas, who stiffened.
Follow me.
Uh, okay?
Lucas just blinked.
It was Leciel who always ignored him.
During their time at the academy, she had never been the one to speak first.
So why suddenly ask him to follow her?
Lucas was both pleased and bewildered.
With a faint sigh, Leciel spoke in a stiff tone.
I heard you might be re-enrolling next year.
It was the result of Wellingtons dedication and Lucass courage.
The Hero, seeing Lucas after a long time, instantly recognized how the boy had spent the past few months.
He hasnt given up.
Although he couldnt match the achievements of his peers who trained in Rosenstark, his relentless efforts were evident.
He didnt succumb to the trial of dropping out and polished himself.
Furthermore, he made significant contributions to resolving the situation in the North.
Therefore, at the end of a brief discussion with Yussi, the Hero decided to give Lucas another chance to enroll in Rosenstark. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)
And Lucas, despite knowing he would face cold stares and various rumors, accepted it bravely.
Becoming the Heros disciple again and dedicating himself to it.
Such things didnt matter in the face of the only opportunity to cleanse his tarnished honor.
The professor insisted on supplementing the missed progress.
It meant that she roughly knew about what I had seen and experienced during the vacation.
Its not like she doesnt know what Im most curious about.
I opened my mouth to ask her, but
Im sorry, but I cant answer that question.
I was blocked before I could even start.
Rosalyn continued with a kind refusal.
Please understand. I cannot act against the will of my master. As you know, Homunculus is originally such a being.
You have to find the answer yourself.
Okay.
If it werent as I expected, it would be a lie.
Meetings with Rosalyn were always like this.
I didnt think she would simply answer.
Always incomplete clues.
Only the information permitted by Zero Requiem.
They always led me to his will.
It will be the same this time too.
There was a difference from before.
That was the fact that more clues had gathered than I thought.
Thanks to that, I felt like I knew the answer to some extent even without Rosalyns response.
Now it was time to confirm whether the picture of the puzzle I had pieced together was correct.
Well, lets start by reviewing the memories.
Yes, lets do that.
As if it were the correct answer, Rosalyn smiled with her eyes crescent-shaped.
Fluttering-
The sound of turning pages came from the empty air.
As the surroundings darkened, her gentle voice echoed.
Well then, I hope it will be a pleasant reminiscence.
Viewing Part III of the First Age.
* * *
When I opened my eyes, I was in the living room of that polite household.
A soft and cozy space
It was where Zero Requiem and the elven woman who bore his child resided.
Clack-
The sound of the fireplace crackling monotonously.
I quickly found the owners of the house.
Theyre over there.
The elf was sitting in a comfortable armchair in front of the fireplace, while Zero Requiem stood in front of her.
They were in the middle of a conversation about something
You look so tired these days.
Its not easy to convince the old-fashioned idiots of the Magic Tower. There is a fuss about having the strength to fight against him. Since he wiped out the churchs forces, it may be inevitable.
I was looking down at them like a ghost in the air.
The conversation continued.
Elaine, how are you feeling? You seem to be having trouble sleeping lately.
Because Im worried about you.
Me? Because of me?
Im afraid youll rush off to find him again like last time.
I wont. I promise.
As tears welled up in Elaines eyes, Zeros voice softened dramatically.
People say its a miracle youve come back alive. Even though youre friendly with him.
You dont have to worry anymore. Since weve agreed to a ceasefire, there wont be any more meetings with him. Im sorry.
Watching the conversation just now, I realized two more things.
One was that Elaines belly was much more swollen (almost like she was in her last trimester) than I remembered from the previous memories.
The other was the unbelievable fact that, for some reason, he who had destroyed the Holy Church forces had agreed to a truce.
Now, Ill make sure to stay by the childs side.
Zero lowered his body, placing his ear against Elaines belly.
Thump-thump-
At that moment, it felt like I could hear a steady heartbeat in my ears too.
With a gentle smile, Elaine reached out and stroked Zeros hair.
Zero.
Elaine my Elaine.
The tranquility finally settled on his face, which had been filled with fatigue.
I watched the scene with a strange sensation.
Grand Mage, Zero Requiem.
The man who saved humanity along with the First Age, and who established countless achievements thereafter, cementing himself as the greatest figure in history.
The scene of him enjoying simple happiness, cuddled in his wifes embrace like a child, had a poignant corner to it.
Why is it showing me this memory?
Even emotional synchronization was happening.
I recalled a comment I saw earlier.
[From the 1st Age Part , the masters emotions and knowledge will be partially synchronized with the user to facilitate better understanding of memories.]
Was it parental love?
Being happy just with the presence of a child.
Although not even born yet, every moment spent with the child was precious.
The future to nurture together was more anticipated than ever.
An indescribable connection.
An unbreakable bond taking root in the heart.
For a Doppelganger, it could only be an unknown emotion, and I pondered it slowly.
There must be an intention behind making me feel this emotion.
While having such thoughts, Elaines clear voice reached my ears.
By the way, have you decided on a name? Youve been thinking about it for a while.
Zero hesitated for a moment before answering.
If its a girl, Rosalyn. If its a boy
But he didnt finish his sentence.
Thump-thump-
Someone knocked forcefully on the door, followed by a youthful voice.
Master! Master!
Zero got up from his seat, tilting his head.
Depikio? Whats the matter?
