History's Strongest Manager

Epilogue-Maria

1 month after 2nd Grand Ragnarok.

In Switzerland, at the foot of a tribal tribe in the Alps, in the middle of a deep mountain range.

A small yet cozy hut.

The sky is high and white peaks that seem to reach the high sky are everywhere. Nothing is near it, and the only forests, the sky, the sky, and the land with snow are isolated landscapes that do not lead anywhere.

In that lonely yet warm, cozy yet vast landscape.

-Sarak.

A boy runs.

“Wow!”

The fallen boy runs over and over, riding on his back to that little house. Even though the boy looked like he was only five or six years old, he hurled his steep mountain waist as if he were still bleeding, rushing into a small house near the flat.

“Mom!"

The boy who opens the door of the tree proudly gives out what is in his hand.

“I caught a rabbit! ”

Compared to the black boy, the woman called her mother was blonde. The woman frowned as if annoyed.

“I'm not your mother! Why am I your mother? ”

“You said no. ”

“You're no more! How many times do I have to tell you? ”

“You're too old. She's not my sister.”

“No? Call me sister! ”

“I don't want to.”

“You're such a jerk. ”

The blonde woman shakes her head as the boy grins. This kid's recollection was beyond imagination, and I was sick and tired of it already.

“So you call her Maria? ”

Maria gives the impression of being even more annoyed by it.

“No! I can't! I'm already trying to eat something small. ”

This kid doesn't even bother to say a word. The blonde woman, Maria, sees the rabbit running around the house untied.

“Well, if you don't want to be a sister and you don't want to be called by your name, you should just call me Mom, right? ”

“Why should I listen to you if I haven't even met your usual boyfriend! ”

Maria shakes her head as if it were a headache. Like this kid... I thought about it, but Maria didn't know it very well. It was a long time ago, and everyone was depressed at the time, so they might have acted differently from their original personality.

Mary gets up from her seat and spreads two bowls of boiled stew over to the table.

“Forget it, just eat. ”

“Yes.”

In this case, he should sit down and eat. Maria glances back at the boy in front of her, who is already mocking her. Maria doesn't like her cooking at all. Nevertheless, I think it is strange to see a well-fed boy. And every time it does, it gets creepy.

A face in memory.

The boy's face resembles the best of his childhood. Other people may think they look alike, but Maria, who had been with them since childhood, could clearly tell.

The portal has been destroyed.

And it was this boy who appeared to Mary staring blankly at the collapsed portal. I don't know anything She was just embarrassed to see the boy suddenly appear. All I could do was hold him and run away. He lost his RCF and spent most of his energy, putting his life on the line if the Americans attacked him.

Kang Joon is dead, but what will happen to the world? What happened to your colleagues?

I ran away with no time to conclude.

Maria, whose world-renowned face, has become a side effect. Since it was revealed that Paladin was Union, she was no longer able to live in the world. So, in order to live, I had to go to a place where no one was there.

She runs away with all her might. I fled to Europe in a private plane, using the last known contact of Kristen's office. I couldn't stay in America.

And it was now.

Thanks to the quality of being a noble patient, it was not difficult to get groceries and get the necessary items to build a house.

The boy woke up and remembered nothing.

Union didn't know where they were, and Maria didn't want to meet.

If Union finds out about the boy he's carrying, he may seek revenge. I didn't think my colleagues would forgive him for stealing everything from Union.

That's why Mary came into these deep, deep mountain ranges to hide herself from the world and from the eyes of the Union in case she still remains.

Maria was alone. She had to carry the best of this blank page, which she couldn't remember anything about. Just by his side, this boy seemed to think of himself as a mother. Mary knew how terrible the joke was, and she was terrified every time a boy said that.

But even more, I didn't want to be called Mary.

Every time the boy called himself Mary, she felt like her heart was pierced with an awl. Unresolved feelings and doubts about why this boy is here for a month.

The boy ran everyday without any worries or concerns. I was eager to make sure I wasn't tired. It was amazing how good it was to catch something with that little body. Seeing her nature not going anywhere and constantly catching on to something, Maria had a hard feeling.

In the end, what should we call this child?

Maria is just spending her time without making any conclusions. I didn't want to just keep going like this without answering. But we can't just throw it away.

You don't know anything about isolating yourself in the world, and you have to live with yourself.

“You lost your leg. ”

“Yes? Yes. ”

Maria looks at the boy's knee with blood on it and frowns. He must have jumped without cause and fell. Maria grunts and examines the boy's knee.

“You little punk. How many times have I told you not to run around like that...? ”

And to wipe off the blood drops and see the wounds, Maria was forced to stop breathing.

‘S... Are you healed? "

A scar that doesn't have dried scallops. But the wound was nowhere to be found, and there was only blood dripping.

What is it?

Maria couldn't help but get confused. The only thing that can be resurfaced is Night or Mutant. Choi Jun, whom she knew, did not have this renewable power.

“What's the matter? ”

Looking at the stiff Mary, the boy asked.

“Oh, no... No... nothing. ”

Maria struggles to avoid her gaze. After he had finished eating, he put the bowl on a tray. Life was not only uncomfortable because of the lack of capital theories. But there was a problem that was more important than that everyday inconvenience.

Is this boy really the best? Then why replenish the wounds yourself?

Maria had no idea what was going on. Even after a month, I had no idea.

“Clean me up when you're done. ”

When Mary said it bluntly, the boy squeezed the toothpaste into his toothbrush and began brushing his teeth. I bought everything I needed from a nearby village, even if I didn't have it. I didn't worry about money because the cash was in my inventory by type.

“Isn't Maria brushing her teeth? ”

A typical bad adult who tells a boy to brush his teeth and says he's smoking another one. In response, Maria looks at the boy with her flawed eyes and gives him a rough look.

“I'm an adult. I don't have to clean. ”

“Heh, yeah? ”

You're not bothering me? ’When I saw a boy who seemed to have swallowed the word, this one was also hopeful. The best boy in Maria's memory was depressed. It was because he grew up to like farming and play well.

‘Rather, was the nature of the cursor originally...? ’

Since it was a childhood when I could only describe it as depressing, it makes sense that Kang Joon was depressed. But what he looks like now, he's just a kid with nothing to worry about in the world.

Maria has been doing those thoughts all day rather than her lost beliefs and hopes. Like he never cared about anything like that.

Maria looks at the boy in front of her, as if she had ever dreamed of such magnificent things as the Ark and the Neptune.

- Knock, knock.

So when she suddenly knocked on the door, the first thing Maria did was pull the boy into her arms.

There is no reason for visitors to this remote region that is difficult to call wallpaper mountains. No one in the world knows Maria's here. Therefore, there can be no more visitors.

And above all, it was more dangerous because it was not detected by Maria's sense of SSRank Knight. Suddenly, Mary hugs herself with a stiff look, and the boy remains still, either intuitive or breathing.

Mary says slowly, hiding the boy behind her, whether she notices quickly.

“Who are you?”

The voices of the enemy are always ready to attack. Maria is still strong. He's a high-value SS-rank knight. A messy opponent can overcome any crisis. But after the defeat and escape, confidence was lost to Mary.

With extreme anxiety, Maria felt suffocated.

It's just a shabby house without a key. Knocking on the door is like telling the opponent that he is not hostile. But unlike him, anxiety does not go away.

- Moss profit

The door opens and reveals itself to an unexpected person. Mary knew her face, but she'd never come face to face.

All of a sudden, the visitor looks at Mary and bows his head.

“It was hard to find. I've never seen you before.”

Maria was never aware of the intention of this visit.

“My name is Go Hyun Woo. ”

It was the leader of the River team, Go Hyun Woo.

Ko Hyun-woo, who applied for a long-term vacation, appeared in this Swiss mountain range without fail.

“Here... What's going on?”

Maria wondered what happened to Choi Jun's people here. Choi Kang Jun was trembling behind Maria, not knowing who Go Hyun-woo was. Ko Hyun-woo glances at the boy and nods slowly.

“I'm here to make sure Trigger works. ”

“Trigger?”

Ko Hyun-woo nodded. Maria was convinced that what Ko Hyun-woo said was a clue. Go Hyun Woo is the most exotic Awakened hunter that Kang Jun Choi had. Superpowers that are more harmful than avatars and more than human strength.

‘Time Ability…. ’

When used with acceleration, it was a simple buffered superpower, but the power to interfere with time has created situations that can be understood in a world where superpowers exist.

Go Hyun-woo was still looking at Maria with a bold expression that did not laugh, cry, rejoice, or grieve.

And his arm was fitted with a silver glowing bracelet.

Maria did not know that it was the same full-brain supercomputer that Choi Jun used.

“It's going to take some time to get into the details. ”

The user doesn't know if the target is hostile or not. However, there is a need to talk. And for yourself.

For a trembling boy.

Maria nods with a firm look.
