My Archangel

"I look forward to you becoming more perfect than the granddaughter who acted cutely to me all day long, so perfect that I would forget her."

"The expedition is approaching, my state of mind, and my practice have already reached a bottleneck. I need to make further breakthroughs before this expedition begins."

"I have always believed that human growth comes from overcoming the immature past."

"Even if the past is torn apart because you don't want to remember, they will grow out like earthworms under the rock."

While speaking like this, Isaac stared at Elsia's face intently, staring at her eyes that seemed to be dead.

"Elsia, from now on, your future life will exist to be my more perfect granddaughter."

"Such a purposeful adoption, are you...willing to accept it?"

...

After that, every day when Elsia looked in the luxury "mirror" that she had rarely seen before in her bedroom, she would find that her eyes...have a little more of a look.

I don’t know if it’s because of her talent in acting. It only took a month for her to try hard for the first time in her life. She turned a middle-aged man who claimed to be a grandfather into a man. Every day, he has to wait for her to call in person to get up.

A month later, she met several companions who had met once in the tavern, and then, just as Isaac proudly showed off, she introduced herself very gracefully to the four people who doubted life for the first time. .

It was Elsia's happiest time so far.

Because she not only got the recognition from the "grandfather", but also found out her life value exactly, but also saw clearly the life direction she can work hard for in the future.

Two months later, Isaac had a breakthrough in his practice. According to him, he had reached the mid-level of the Platinum Stage.

A few months later, Isaac's practice had a new breakthrough, reaching the high level of the Platinum Stage.

Three years later, Isaac's practice once again made a breakthrough, reaching the peak level of the Platinum Rank.

He became the first human being closest to the local god in the history of Lisiren.

Then...At that time, the nationally focused expedition began.

Of course, even though the Lisiren of that generation was because the Son’s ability was lower than the average of the past dynasties, whether it was the treasury reserves that were seen tightly or the expedition torch that was only able to support less than a month, it was because of Isaac The existence of it became the most promising expedition that was praised by all the people who had been fighting and losing.

But Elsia didn't feel that way.

Because she had been staying at home, she clearly noticed Esaac's abnormality.

Since igniting the sacred flame in advance and trying to amplify himself through the fire, whether at home or outside, he has a gloomy look, constantly retching, and even become nagging...more and more.

"This is... the trial and stage I desire, the expedition I desire...?"

"So heavy... so heavy, really... so heavy..."

Along with such a few words of inexplicable meaning constantly uttered from Ax's mouth, Elsia also found that Grandpa's originally straight back... also became a lot more playful without knowing it.

inability.

For some reason, when I secretly observed Esaac's eyes during that time, Elsia saw a sight that made her feel both strange and familiar.

It was a frustrated look that seemed to have realized something, but felt powerless.

The reason why Elsia can distinguish it so clearly is very simple.

Because of this similar look, it was almost the same as the biological father who had planned to sell her.

Soon after, Elsia's fate once again ushered in a turning point.

On that day, on the day when the sails were officially set sail, after being adopted for three years, Elsia, who had completely changed her appearance from the past... For the first time from the face of the middle-aged man who used to be very hearty I saw a touch of indescribable dignity.

It was as if he had already known something before he started...

"Elsia, thank you, grandpa has had a very happy three years...really happy."

Before going out, the tall middle-aged man squatted down and hugged Elsia who was at the door to see him off. He hugged him tightly: "Elsia, you've grown up, and you don't need to... I deliberately forced myself for grandpa."

"grandfather…?"

The azure blue eyes that had turned from a pool of stagnant water to radiance opened slightly, and Elsia at that time was a little confused.

She had noticed that Esaac's words seemed strange.

Obviously she had checked in advance that there would be no danger in the expedition, but... she heard something from her grandpa's voice that was not merely a goodbye.

'...I, have you met your grandfather's expectations?'

After realizing this, the words Elsia originally wanted to ask... ended up stuck in the throat.

Although pretending to be a good child is already very tired, but...after grandpa comes back, ask him again.

Yes... As long as the expedition is over, Grandpa will come back.

This is what Elsia thought at the time.

"Then, Grandpa is leaving."

However, after that, the sensitive Elsia noticed that after letting go of her and saying goodbye to her with a smile, Grandpa did not add the sentence "I will be back soon" at the end of the sentence as before. This sentence.

——So heavy...really...so heavy...

Correspondingly, she was only in the whisper that was when Isaac turned and left...heard a whisper like a dead soul that she had heard many times before.

At that moment, watching Esaac's back, which seemed to be drooping down by something, Elsia vaguely noticed something for the first time.

Something she had never seen before, like countless distorted faces.

...

After that, looking back at the history so far, the result is clear.

The fifteenth-generation expedition encountered unprecedented obstacles and ended directly with the heaviest defeat in history.

Isaac did come back.

But... it was only his body that came back, and his soul had stayed "there" forever.

'This time, Grandpa's mistakes will never happen again, but there is no need to worry about this... They are all young gods, the world will protect them, and there is no need to worry about this aspect.'

Thinking of this, Elsia, who had gone away a little bit, withdrew her thoughts, and once again focused on the business in front of her.

Although Elsia didn't know what happened to Isaac's body at that time, now, after becoming the Son of God, she already knew the inside story.

The inside story that made her hard to change except accept.

She knows what she should do now.
