History's Strongest Manager

[216] Loss is Eternal (3)

Kang Jun made an impression on Maria.

“…… I like the timing just now, but where were you watching it? ”

As always, she scratched her cheeks, sweating coldly at Kang Jun's words.

“Oh, no... The endorsement fund, it just came in. ”

“Smells like shit, and you were watching me poop myself to death. ”

Maria appeared at an unnatural moment of contrition. Maybe he found Gangjun somewhere and was watching. Maria is not a very good liar, so she rolls her eyes.

“I'm disappointed. You. ”

“Oh, shit! Do I have to insult you even if I save you? It's been a while, but as soon as I saw it! ”

Maria squeals as if boiling. Kang Jun said blankly, looking at Mary like that.

“It's good to see you. ”

When Kang Jun said that, Maria blushed.

“Open this, it's broken. ”

Kang Jun pointed to his frame suit, and as soon as Maria came, she felt like Kang Jun was really a dog, not just a thankful hug but a quiet one.

Gangjun was also curious about everything. How it came to be here all of a sudden, what that light was. The clothes I was wearing were full of things that I didn't understand why.

And more than that.

“I'm going to take a break. ”

Kang Jun couldn't even stand to feel his whole body squeaking. She was even more embarrassed by the horror of getting her out of the frame suit, and she was awkward about it.

“Son of a bitch... ”

I thought the kiss of the reunion would be a hug, but it was also the best way to show the two of them to an old friend.

“Faladin. ”

After Gangjun woke up, Maria said that.

“Paladin? What are you talking about? ”

Maria had a Faladin title in the first place. So there were no two things that were unclear about being Faladin. Kang Jun was confused about what was going on because he had just woken up, and his head didn't turn well. Maria explained to Gangjun slowly.

While trying to find the tears of the goddess, I met a creature similar to Ishita's god. And he was given a similar test, and at the same time, he was given the power of a noble patient. And I got a class from Ishita called Paladin.

The return of Mary means that she has fulfilled her mission and acquired what she wanted.

“I tried to come back, but the portal was closed and I had a hard time. ”

The portal that Versailles left open was closed, so Maria's return is a little later. It soon became even more urgent because Versailles had to leave. Maria eventually went straight to Kangjun after giving an assessment to the god who had finished her business.

“So you still don't know what's going on. ”

“Is something wrong? ”

“It's a little long to say.... Let's talk on the way.”

In a word, things were too complicated and Kangjun didn't really know what was going on. Kang Jun got up staggering. Then he spread out his arms to Mary.

“Give me a hug.”

“Are you…. ”

The boldness caused tendons to burn on Maria's forehead, but Kang Jun was not in good shape. Mary's body gives off a gentle glow. But not on Earth, it was the smell of grass in another world. With a strange aroma that was hard to express in words, Kang Jun seemed to unwind.

“Can't you use healing magic? Faladin would do it. ”

The paladin is a combination of priesthood and exam classes, so you could use healing magic if you were a nobleman.

“You can heal, stitch up. ”

“Why didn't you get a priest class? ”

Kang Jun thought about the people who came to his mind and said as if he was sorry. Maria kicks her tongue as if she knew what she was talking about.

“Wouldn't that be me? That's not the point. A maximized healing spell is a cursed and equally forbidden item. ”

“Why?”

“The power to save a man's life is more dangerous than the power to kill a man's life. I don't know the details. I wasn't a great person to throw up on. I'll take whatever you give me. ”

Maria met with the Guardian, the head of the guard among them. To be precise, I met someone who makes up the rules.

Ultimately, treatments, like cursing, were strictly forbidden for noble people to use on Earth. So Palladine's power, which Maria acquired, was focused on destroying her enemies.

The power to freely revive people is more dangerous than the power to kill them. Gangjun did not know the details of the meaning, but it was not impossible to understand.

“Then you'll die with the Guardians if you use your power as you would any other nobleman.“ ”

“I'm a unique case. ”

Maria confidently said so.

“The nobles are returning with permission, but I was banished because I told them to go away. ”

The Guardian only gave Mary the ability to choose because she had expected to return in the first place.

“Well, that's what I said, actually. I don't think there's anything wrong with having one just like me. ”

“You mean you can play without any constraints? ”

“Something like that, to be exact. ”

Is there anything more terrifying than an unlimited nobleman? Maria proved herself as an apostle, and returned safely to Earth without restriction.

Maria put her broken frame shoes in her inventory and was speeding across the region with only Kangjun up.

“Now you explain yourself. What happened. ”

“North Korea is overrun. ”

“What?"

“And it's the end of the world war. ”

I've been in Ishita for months, and the whole world's about to be engulfed in a war.

Maria was losing her mind.

“First, we have to make sure our children are okay. ”

Maria knew that 'we', what Kangjun said, was not Union, but Hero Management. For Kangjun, Union no longer falls into the category 'we'.

Mary knew that, and her mind became lonely. There was only one thing Maria could say.

“Yes."

She knew what sorrow Mary Kangjundo felt.

“Thank you.”

In Kangjun's words, Maria pretended to have a bright voice.

“He's a friend.”

Maria crosses the mountains like the wind.

Upon entering South Korea's territory, a massive military-based seizure was underway, and Maria and Gangjun crossed it to the south and south. When he arrived in Seoul, Kangjun first arrived in front of the Hero Management Shrine.

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

The shrine, surrounded by a yellow no-go tape, was finished. Kang Jun spoke to the police guarding the area a few times and called the Constitution Department. Of course, Jung Joon's survival would have shocked many people.

Maria and Gangjun were told about what happened in Korea.

Special forces dispatched from UC brutally killed people in downtown Seoul, fought with UC fleets in the West Sea, and fought enormously in Hero Management.

When he heard about the fight between the two monsters, Kang Jun could clearly tell which side was which.

“Iznitas.... One is Iznitas. ”

“Was Iznitas here? ”

“Er... I've been living since you left for Ishita. ”

Maria tilted her head because she didn't know Iznitas was in Hero Management. Either way, the fight is over, and one of the bodies is secured, but the other one is gone. The two were able to infer Union's intervention and the theorem of the situation.

Kang Jun asked about the Hero Management people and let out a sigh of relief when he heard that he was safe without death. Both of them were still unable to fully determine the nature of the situation.

“Kang Jun!”

“Uh, uh... Yes, Miss Hoenn. ”

“I really do. I'm so glad!”

Since he didn't know that North Korea's Overrank Survival was due to Kang Jun, Kang Jun was not treated as a bandit. Tohoyeon thought that the resurrection of Gangjun who thought he was dead was truly a miracle.

“Hey, hey. ”

“Ah, ah! Yes!”

Tohoyeon recognizes Mary and bows her head in haste.

“Oh, hello! ”

“Whatever. ”

Maria drops Tohoyeon and Gangjun, making a big impression.

“I know it's a pleasure, but this liar is mine. Why don't you stay away from me and tell me? ”

“…… I don't think I agree with that. ”

Maria chews her head hard on Kangjun's tackle.

“Who asked you to agree? ”

Kang Jun shakes his head as if he was full of predatory behavior, and Tohoyeon does not understand what is going on.

Kangjun knew that the battle in the ruined shrine and the people who died there, as well as Iznitas, were in a hurry. Kang Jun felt more anxious as he watched the miserable scene.

And I also knew that there was a fight against something very powerful. Kang Jun, who received his belongings from Tohoyeon, turned on his cell phone and urgently called somewhere. There were already a lot of missed calls.

After a short call, Kang Jun hung up with a blank expression.

“What's the matter? ”

Maria looks at Kang Jun's firm expression and says, "No wonder I'm scared too." Kang Jun's expression was stiff as if he had heard very scary news.

- Blah, blah!

And Versailles, along with the distortion of the space, appeared. She switched sides with Maria and said briefly.

“You're home. I'm sorry. I had to close the dimensional door. ”

“It's okay, Belle... Then what's the matter? Face, huh? ”

Maria looks at Versailles' face as if she was anxious. Versailles had a firm look on his face, and Maria could see that unlike always, he had a deep look on his face.

“What's the matter...? It's scary..."

“Iznitas is dead. ”

Kang Jun, who had already heard about it, bit her lip, and Maria became dumber as if she had lost her mind.

“Er... What are you...? ”

“I don't want to say it twice. ”

Versailles confirms that this is not a joke. Maria is stunned, and soon her eyes come back to life. A terribly calm rage rages over you.

“I need to see it with my own eyes. ”

Maria holds Versailles' hand, and she glances at him.

“Kang Joon, I won't hold you responsible for Iznitas' death. We always make our own choices. But remember."

Versailles conveyed only what he needed to convey without anger or sorrow.

“Iznitas died as your friend, not as Union. ”

That was to deepen Kang Jun's heart.

“You also have an obligation to check. ”

Castle is already off-limits, but this time it was special. Gangjun approached Versailles and held hands.

- Blah, blah!

The space collapsed, and three people disappeared. Those who saw it before their eyes knew something strange was happening, but no one knew exactly what it was.
