When the school was over, I logged into the game and Arina fell asleep.

"Shh... shh..."

For some reason I was worried about Arena's three braids and when I reached out, Arena woke up.

"Are you awake?

"Nh... fuwa... I slept well"

Instead of knitting my hands three times, I put them on my head and deceived them. Safe.

Today is the day to challenge Eden. I'm taking Bran to Griffon Island.

"I'm here for Eden's test!

Segments appear when I say so.

"I held Eden's key and joined the voice of the challenger. Get on my back."

Can you give me a ride? We did it!

Here we are. This is Eden's Havensgate. "

"Ah, Lord? Don't be depressed, because I understand that it was a momentary event that you couldn't even afford to enjoy."

I arrived as soon as I got on the train. Will it be time to get to your destination the moment you say you'll be leaving by train someday? As one of the people who wanted to enjoy the scenery, I really wanted you to leave a normal train.

Switch your mind and head to Havensgate with Bran, and a pillar of light will appear in front of us.

"A superior angel is coming! Lord"

Blonde angels emerged from the light.

"Welcome to Havensgate, Eden. I call this the Sophia of Kelvim, who is defending the Lord's life. Thank you very much."

A pure, innocent smile. But Kelvim is supposed to be higher than Blanc, the smart angel.

The angels who protect Eden's Garden are different in many ways. The name Sofia appears in the Old Testament. The wisdom of an angel of wisdom is called Sofia, and in this game it seems to have been named after an angel of wisdom who protects Eden's garden.

I was hoping that some of the wisdom angels who guarded Eden's garden might have Uriel's name, but I missed it.

"Thank you very much."

"I love polite people! Now, can you give me the key to Eden, who is qualified to challenge before we begin the challenge?

I give Eden's keys to Sofia, and Sofia plugs them into Heavengate's keyhole. Then the gate opens.

Expecting intense heat waves will hit us. And I looked inside the gate and said nothing. There was a whirlpool of flames in the gate. I opened the gate. Was it Healthgate?

"Now, let's announce the trial. Please enter this gate by yourself and safely reach the Garden of Eden, the exit. The exit can be reached by running straight."

"Can you do it!

Ignoring my screams, the info comes.

Special Event "The Trial of Eden": Difficulty SS

Reward: Title "Eden Reacher"

Participants: Players who own Eden keys

Restrictions: Gear Effect Disabled, Skill Disabled, Item Disabled

Retire: Available

Retry: Possible

Break through Eden's Havens Gate and reach Eden's Garden.

The contents don't match the sight in front of you. Besides, they seal off the effects of skills, gear, and items... You mean jump in alive. I can't.

"I know how you feel, but let me start by saying that the flame visible from the gate is a flame of redemption, a flame without killing power."

"Does that mean that there are no burns or flames even if you touch this flame?

"Exactly. But as you can see, there's heat and pain."

To endure heat and pain is to say atonement. The sin in this case will be the punishment of eating the fruits of wisdom in the Garden of Eden. I didn't eat it, but I'm not convinced it's going to be a trial like this, but I have to.

"Is fire the only thing that doesn't kill?

"Yes"

Sofia answers my question with a smile. This is what I expected. I warm up for the first time and consolidate the image of the situation. Then Bran asks.

"Lord, are you going?

"Ah, the trials God has prepared for man. Let's break through. Are you worried?"

"Naturally. I'm the Lord's Summoner, right? And the Lord is trying to do it for me, isn't he?

Well, you'll notice. Like the underworld, there are multiple game settings in the heavens, but almost certainly the angel's home is Eden. Bran is an angel, so I want to show him the way.

"I'm sure of that, but I want to challenge you after all. We are adventuring because we want to see new countries and towns. Of course, it also includes Bran's homestead. So Bran doesn't have to worry about it at all."

"Hah... Lily, onee-sama's stubborn personality is definitely due to the Lord."

What? Why would that happen?

"Well, at least let me water it before I challenge you. I don't think it makes much sense."

"Please, don't summon me when you get over there."

"Yes"

I call Meal, I put some water in the bucket, I get Blanc to water it, and I talk to Sofia.

"Do you want to try it?

"Yes"

"Now, let's begin the trial! The timing of challenge is your freedom."

I breathed in and crossed my arms to protect my eyes and jumped into Eden's Havens Gate.

Hell as expected in Havens Gate. He keeps running with intense heat and pain tied to his teeth.

What if the yakiniku cook gets scared by the fire! Fire is my friend!

Shit... what I heard a long time ago about the yakiniku restaurant manager not knowing what it meant, was regenerated in my brain. But I feel like I'm getting thirsty.

That's right! A cook can't beat a fake fire that only feels heat and pain!

When I stopped breathing and kept running, I heard something spinning. I'll open a gap in the guard on my arm and see for myself.

There were giant swords of fire spinning side-by-side. This is the Flaming Sword God placed in Eden's Garden with the Angels of Wisdom! In Sofia's story, this sword is a regular sword.

Then I saw the gate, which is the exit. Much looser than I imagined. Honestly, I thought you were spinning faster. We'll figure it out!

The moment I thought about it, the arrangement of the swords of fire changed. I stop my feet. Watch out... if I kept pushing in, I'd be slashed.

I thought I could afford to move like a revolving door because I was slow, but if I could rearrange the sword of fire along the way, it could suddenly be slashed. There is a sword that is rotating like a gear or a critical line where the blade and blade come into contact.

I can't breathe when I think about it. [M] I don't have time to think about it. I'll bet on this!

I spin like a gear, touching the sword of a flaming sword with my left hand. At that moment, there was intense pain in the palm of the hand, but the pain was assumed. I can endure it.

That's the problem. The moment the sequence changes, my left hand is slashed. I assumed that I would escape into the gap of a rotating sword.

"Kh..."

But I opened my mouth because of the pain. Burning pain occurs from inside the body. Then a forced logout warning is displayed, but is ignored. It's no joke to force you to log out so far.

After all, the pattern of rotation like a gear and the critical pattern of the blade touching each other seem to be alternating.

In that case, the gear pattern that cannot be avoided can be touched first and transferred simultaneously. Life is saved because the hand is slashed but there is a rotating gap.

Then you can jump out to the exit before the arrangement changes again. However, as soon as it jumped out because of the slow rotation speed, the arrangement changed and the left foot was slashed and fell.

There will be another loud warning. I crawl with my right arm to the exit. And finally, the info arrives at the exit.

You completed the special quest The Trial of Eden

You've earned the title Eden Reacher

Title "Reacher of Eden"

Effect: Can go to Eden's Garden, Heat Disabled

A title for those who have reached the heavenly paradise "Eden's Garden".

You will have free access to the Garden of Eden.

At that moment, I was free from the pain.

"Hah... hah... hah ~"

It's wonderful to be alive. If you were crawling and shouting about bad management, you'd be there.

Sofia showed up with Blanc when I was moistening my throat with juice. Bran sees this situation very badly.

"Lord!? I don't have any hands or feet!?

"Ah... I'm a little fucked up. But I got it. What kind of things?"

"Lord! The Lord is always too reckless! Promise me you won't be reckless in the future if you think it's for me!

Blanc was pushed down with tears. This is against the rules! I hope that's what the operation promises.

"Ah, ru, j!

"No... I want to promise you..."

"I think it's better not to make you promise, but to make sure you don't."

The voice of a third party.

"Master Uriel!?

I didn't know it was just my voice. I can't move.

"Bran, can you fix him up first?

"Heh? Ah!? Please..."

Bran turned bright red and walked away when he realized he was completely pushing me down.

"Fufu. Sofia, can I ask you a favor?

Yes!

I will be healed by Sofia and fully resurrected.

"Once again, congratulations on breaking Eden's test. Our Lord has granted you access to the Garden of Eden."

"This is the Garden of Eden..."

It's a normal garden with plants and trees. But I saw something strange in the sky.

Prism Kelvim?

A mysterious monster with angel feathers and rings in the crystal. Now that Uriel and the others are here, it will be all right. Concentrate on Uriel's story.

"Yes, the Garden of Eden is at the bottom of our universe, Eden."

Ah... the name of heaven is Eden.

"This Eden garden has plants and trees that are not available on the ground. My Lord allows you to harvest freely, so you can take whatever you want."

I'm fat, but I have something to worry about.

Can I have a nut of wisdom?

The fruit of wisdom is the fruit that inspired the banishment of Eden's Garden. I think it's probably here, but that means you can eat it.

"Yes, in the words of my Lord, I have already eaten it, so no matter how much I eat, it doesn't make sense."

I see. I won't hesitate to do that. Then Uriel said something that bothered her.

"I think it's pretty hard to get the fruit of the wisdom tree."

"What do you mean?

"The land is now sealed with the wrath of the Lord, and it is sealed with two of the world's top monsters."

I know one somehow. What's the other one coming for? I wonder if it's the best animal in the world. If my imagination is correct, I will not give up the fruit of wisdom. Then Sofia will supplement it.

"The sword of fire, which was in the middle of a trial, is a human trial, and it's meant to keep the two monsters from going to earth."

That's the setting. I was terrified that my left hand and left foot had been cut with such a monster sword.

"Would you like to go and see?

"Are you sure?!

"Yes, seeing them will help you learn."

So we were taken by Uriel to a place with the fruits of wisdom.
