Had I not heard a small voice, I would probably have kept holding her.

Reflectively, what caught my eye was a wizard in a big hat.

Of course we know who it is. Though the expression of discomfort and uneasiness was different from the face of the Great Wizard he had always imagined.

Embedded in the same snow that would be sucked in is anger and flesh. I felt like my body was stiff without knowing it.

The Honorable Cardinal felt like the air was ventilated when he stroked Jeongyan's head, but he was clearly hostile.

"Why?"

Before I even thought about it, I could see him holding his hand to the sword.

Woman with a scar on her face... She's not the only one. Kim Ye-ri, Ahn Ki-mo, Seon Hee-young, and even Alps were watching themselves with a nervous face.

Hwang Jeongyeon, who had never been seen so far, seemed to be chanting a spell. Then I started to understand what I was doing.

As I slowly raise my head, I see the honorary cardinal still smiling.

Very cute body. A body that seems to be broken if you give it some strength. It's like a delicately crafted glassware.

It's too weak to be called the Son of Light, the God of Sacrifice and Resurrection.

If you give me any strength to that wrist, it will break soon. Your face will turn bloody in no time and your body will crumple like a bell. Even if you give me a little bit of strength.

When I remembered the appearance of the Cardinal of Honor who was covered in blood, my face suddenly flushed. I don't know why, but my body feels hot.

‘Shame.'

I'm ashamed to think only of myself. I am so ashamed that I did not notice the anxiety and fear that they would be feeling right now.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... I told you... ”

“Sorry… I…. ”

“It's all right, White. The same goes for everyone else. You don't have to be so vigilant. I heard you came to the guild like Mo did. Cough.”

“Sir, are you okay? ”

“It's okay. I... Cough. Sorry, Valerie. Cough.”

“Your Eminence... ”

The situation of being stunned for a moment, Sung Hee Young is immediately watching the situation clinging to the Honorary Cardinal. I'm holding out as if it's okay, but I can see the red between my coughing hands.

“Ah…. ”

“Vice Guild Master!”

For some reason, I felt a look when my body shivered and I bowed my head.

‘ ……. ’

“ ……. ”

It's like being a frog in front of a snake. Makes it difficult to breathe.

“Yikes, yikes, yikes!... I said fall... You, you! You!!"

“Enough.”

“ ……. ”

“It's not his fault. White, I want you to refrain from doing anything that might be offensive. I just... haven't fully recovered yet. ”

“Are you going to be okay, Lee Young? If you're not feeling well, why don't you cancel? ”

“No, thanks. Hee-young, and White. If you don't mind, could you give me a lift? ”

“Yes? Yes... Yes! ”

“ ……. ”

“Dear Valerie, Why don't you take a little walk? ”

“No, I... Your Eminence! ”

“That's okay. Just take a break doesn't make it any better. I want to get some air. ”

“Yes... If you say so... ”

“You can go now. And don't worry too much. White will be with you. ”

“Yes.”

“I-I get it. ”

“Yes, Vice Guild Master. ”

“Yes.”

After a short answer, the last place where Kim Ye-ri was shouting became silent. I can't believe I'm walking with the Honorable Cardinal.

I can see him slowly walking on his feet, leaning on his body.

It's complicated from start to finish. Ever since we cried, I didn't think we could suddenly walk around the blue Guild House together.

I felt a little guilty. Unlike what's heard at Sectionals....

‘He couldn't recover. ’

“Oh, are you okay? ”

“Yes, thank you for your concern. White.”

“Strength, please tell me whenever you feel like it. ”

“Yes.”

It looks lonely to move together because it's attached to your body. I feel uneasy just seeing the true appearance of the Honorable Cardinal.

It was then that the cardinal turned his head slightly and opened his mouth.

“I'm sorry I startled you. Bellier.”

“No, Your Eminence. I... I don't want to. ”

“Haha... You don't have to think like that. It's a habit now. It's just..."

“Yes.”

“I don't want you to give any notice about what happened in our guild house today. ”

“Yes, yes! ”

“It's not that I don't trust Valerie, but I hope you won't be too surprised if Team Leader Mi-young visits separately. My Team Leader is really good at taking care of things... Haha... Maybe we can meet up with a pledge. Maybe Hye-jin will come to see you. ”

“Hye-jin Jo... ”

“By the way, you must have met at the time of your entrance exam. ”

“Yes, you really taught me a lot. Elena helped me a lot. You were hurt pretty bad. Elena immediately... ”

“ ……. ”

“And don't worry about that. Even the confidentiality pledge... Yes. Magic is fine if you need it. ”

You might want to hide it.

You just want to be healthy for everyone. If this had been known, there would have been great chaos all over the continent.

The news of the Cardinal of Honor is having a huge impact on the economy and politics, as well as on the real life of the general public.

“You don't have to do that. ”

“But…. ”

“How did you feel? ”

“Yes?”

“The blue guild. ”

“Oh, I think it's a good place. ”

This is definitely a good place.

“There's no need to mention the facilities or anything else... and it's a little different from what I was thinking, but the guild members seemed like good people. You were kind... and difficult, but there was no such thing. Even Hanzora... Yes. Kim Ye-ri... And Seon Hee-young. ”

“I'm really glad you feel that way. ”

“It's kind of like a family. It really was like a family. because it wasn't a typical place to see. Especially the blue one called the Third World Guild. I expected a more formal, stiff atmosphere. ”

“ ……. ”

“It's so different from what I expected... I admire it even more. Seeing each other cherish each other... just seems like they're really happy to be together... ”

“Is that so?”

You stop smiling quietly. It feels like asking a question. The people you met, the continents you encountered.

Of course, I remember that I met a lot of good people, but I often didn't.

I've been through a lot of malice and absurdity and injustice and injustice that I don't know why.

I've had a lot of unwanted fights. I even hurt people.

Life on the continent is usually like that. Because of interest or pride, we hurt each other and hurt each other because of simple malice or gain in front of us.

He too has grown up in such an environment. So...

Maybe he's admiring it.

That's why he admired and respected the Blue Guild. Those who can sacrifice for others, those who can throw away what they have... People who can live with each other.

“So... ”

“Yes, I'm happy too. ”

“Ah…. ”

You look really happy.

“I'm so happy to be with the people I love, and I think about it every time I wake up. ”

I could see Jeongyan hugging her. Quietly, the Honorable Cardinal put his hand on Jeongyan's shoulder once again.

“It's really fun to be able to rely on and be with those who share their minds. ”

It was Lindell who caught his eye with a cozy smile.

Following that gaze, a slow sunset appeared.

Lindell's red face shines more beautifully than ever before.

It may be a mistake, but I can hear the voices of those who are chattering.

Kids running around the square, lovers holding hands, workers who end their day, merchants who usually spend their days singing, bard barons praying, adventurers who sit in chairs and raise a glass.

This city seems to be full of life.

I can see Diarrhagia. The dragon sits at dusk and opens its mouth by itself.

Maybe that's what it means. This city called Lindel, which the Cardinal of Honor loves, will be a place where he can rely on and share his mind.

“They'll all be the same. ”

“I see.”

“It may seem absurd, but I believe that the city, or everyone on the continent, will have Benigor's sons and daughters… for each other and for each other to cherish. ”

Do you really think so?

“Of course, we know the world doesn't. ”

I felt like I felt red in my heart.

You will once again see the sunset. It's the same view as before.

“Maybe that's why you're trying. ”

“ ……. ”

“Nearby first. a place where we can be for each other, where everyone can be seen as a family. ”

I could see the Cardinal of Honor looking away.

A doll slowly walks past the sunset landscape and shines into view.

He was holding a paper bag with bread in one hand and various things in the other.

He looks at the window and waves his hand, which is very well suited for sunset.

With a really happy face, after putting down the luggage with just the same face as everything else, the arms shake like a child.

I smiled unknowingly.

“Ki-young! ”

After raising his hand slightly, he smiled and raised his hand greatly.

‘It really... feels like a family. ’

To be honest, I still didn't know exactly what the Cardinal of Honor was thinking.

It was because he thought it had great significance, even though he understood it. But maybe it doesn't mean anything.

“A place for each other to belong, a place where everyone can be seen as a family. ”

Maybe that's really all.

I wonder what my courage was.

“Your Eminence... ”

“ ……. ”

Can I be like that? Not enough, but can you help make the guild, Lindell, and the continent a better place?

Can I love and cherish people like the Honorable Cardinal? Can I be the one to sacrifice for others and throw myself away?

Like you blue guild members... Can we fight for invisible value rather than profit in front of our eyes?

“I... can I be a family too? ”

“ ……. ”

A long time later,

I can see his nodding face.

“Welcome to the Blue. Bellier.”

The smile of the sunset, the smile of the Son of Light, the sacrifice and resurrection God who threw everything for the continent....

It would have been more beautiful than anything he had ever seen.

“Yes!”
