6.

- Mother?

The Sagittarius told the paladin.

The paladin was staring somewhere. The birds stared at the same place, beating their tails, pudding and fishing gear while placing watermarks on the rocks.

- Mother, why are you interested in where the fairies are...?

“No. It's ridiculous. I asked him to talk to me about his parents' children, and I can't help it. ”

-.......

A bitter smile hangs over the paladin's mouth. It must have caused some anxiety among the newborns.

- We know a lot about her, but we don't know her very well. Is he a good man?

“A sad man. ”

The paladin simply defined the Earl.

“And a clear man. ”

And the paladin was lost in thought. I felt like I was reminiscing about my past for a moment.

Not for long.

"Hmm."

The paladin picks up the helm he left on the rocks. Heave-ho. Without a word, she puts her helmet back on.

Inside the helmet, the chatter from the world is filtered. The world's mesmerizing color narrows. The filtered, narrowed vision was small enough to only think about what he had to do.

“Birds.”

The paladin stands up and looks around.

In the river where the rocky islands sank, the caribou swim or swim quietly, and the number of mermaids looking up at the paladin was tens of thousands.

“Thank you for comforting me in my clumsy ways and complimenting me for my mistake. The stories you told me tonight, the landscapes you walk across dark waters, I will keep in mind for the rest of my life. ”

- Are you leaving, Mother?

“You'll come by sometime. ”

The paladin nods.

“I have a lot of work to do. I can't help it."

-.......

There was silence.

The waters of rivers and oceans, where the birds live, have always flowed irregularly. The caribou had a habit of holding each other tightly and whispering in their ears. Again, they grabbed the shoulders of one of their own, infected one with one, ten with tingling.

- Mother.

After the cowardice.

On behalf of the caribou, a mermaid said,

- Will you take us with you?

"......."

- You said there was a tower. He said it would be visible to us soon. If Mother's hometown is there, wouldn't it be okay for us to go there with her?

- We love water. But we love the land a little bit more where we can't swim. If that's where she lives, she'll love it even more.

- Take us with you.

The paladin was speechless.

I touched the knife sack without a word.

“In the tower, there are many despicable people. I don't want you to get hurt by them. ”

- What despicable people?

“You call yourselves fish just because you have a tail. Not just because you think it's a funny joke, but because you want to feel bad, you'll call it fish. ”

-.......

“There are so many, so many people who live in such a way that nothing else matters, as long as they can ruin other people's feelings. So..."

- Mother.

The birds face each other, and the next time they look up at the paladin.

- There are a lot of regular people here.

The paladin is silent.

- There's a lot between us.

- Weak people.

- Sick people.

- There are a lot of people in the world who abuse others because they abuse themselves.

- These people will always be everywhere, and they will always be there.

- Not beyond them.

- Between us.

The caribbeans said with their mouths closed.

- So that's not why we shouldn't be looking at her world.

“I……."

The moment the paladin hesitated.

“Wait a minute.”

Someone grabs the paladin's shoulder.

It was gentle and caring, but resolute.

The paladin only knew one person who held his shoulder like this.

[The king is coming.]]

7.

“Don't be so frightened, sunbae. ”

“…… the tetrarch. ”

The paladin turns his head and looks at me.

“What do you mean, I'm scared? ”

I didn't answer.

For example, the paladin himself said that he was only one of those "ordinary" people. He didn't say that he was afraid that the day would come when the carpenters would find out.

I just said cheerfully.

“How about this? ”

“Which one? ”

“Instead of inviting newborn children into our tower all at once, after the 11th floor. I'm sending you to the Aikim Empire to study abroad. Mermaids live there, too. ”

“Ah."

The paladin opens his eyes wide.

I nodded.

‘You never know. The paladin didn't participate in the raid then. ’

It happened.

At that time, I was a warrior and I gathered the anglers. But the Aikim Empire did not know this yet. They were chasing after a multiracial coalition of witches, some of whom looked like this.

What ultimately matters now is simple. I,

Is the young man really the former Emperor? I wonder if she really is a witch. Just check these and it's over.

This is a treasure trove of souls from the Mermaid King.

If you drop a drop of blood here, you can tell if the Blood Master has a [Good Soul] or a [Bad Soul]!

As you all know, I sprinkled my blood cool in the dungeon.

Ah? Huh...?

Uh, how.... How can the soul be like this...? If I had saved so many lives, it would have been so white... This is so...! This is... the light...!

Shining Confucius.

It was a moment when I emerged.

“The mermaids on the 15th floor are very kind to me. You think I'm a real messenger of God. No, well, God there is [Goddess of Protection], and this Goddess of Protection is glittering and is on my waist, so it's not a bad analysis... ”

A knife shaft kicked into my waist. It was like a protest to take more care of myself.

Whether I meet a rider or raise a child, will I intervene between my colleagues or make jokes? There are a lot of things. Shiny. Just hold on a little longer. Maybe one day you'll get a spinoff and a gourmet flight, like "Shiny Lady's Top 1st Floor Dining Journal."

Anyway.

“Yo means that there are very nice mermaids living in different worlds for me. ”

"......."

“Like a kind of tutorial. Wouldn't it be a good place to study abroad for the newborns? ”

The paladin looked into my eyes.

“Can you let go of the leg? ”

“Of course. This is what relationships are for, for different occasions? ”

“Four Kings... No, Duke Kim. ”

The paladin's expression changed.

Since my expression changed so little, I could only read [you feel good] [you feel stiff], but this time, I read all of the paladin's expressions too harshly.

“I'll pay my respects. ”

“No, no, you don't have to thank me. I'm just doing my job. ”

“Kim Gong-ja. No, Light Gong. You're such a good boy. ”

“Hahaha... I have to be nice. Well, anyway--”

“Nice and handsome again. I heard that people's lives are supposed to appear on their faces. ”

“No... I was supposed to have some, so I didn't want that."

“You even have a beautiful voice. You could be a singer right now. Is this a Natural Bone Singer? Singer.”

“A loner? Umm... Uh... sunbae. Hello?"

“Good looking, handsome, and good at singing, so you'll be good at your military service. I heard there's a military presence in Korea. Are you a soldier? Military engineer.”

“I changed to recruitment when I was a kid!? And what celebrities were missing was a really old story. Above all, even if there was a conscription as a top ranker, it is likely that the National Guard is somehow exempt from military service.... ”

“That's for sure. National Publicity.”

“Yes, as a national public… No matter what! Are you making fun of me? Just like when we first made the Bloody Pole!? ”

“I don't know what you're talking about. ”

The paladin takes his breath away.

I sighed. The paladin smiles slightly at that day and grabs my shoulder.

I pulled it.

"Tsk,"

I naturally tightened my waist.

With my arms around my neck, the paladin sent my face to the carvings.

“The king. The god of the Designated Ones, the ranker of our tower. You see, he's my patron, and he's my friend."

The caribbeans chatter.

- Four kings!

- The God of the Designated People!

- Your mother's heir!

- Your friend!

- The crown prince!

Damn, my face is going to burn.......

“So, the Four Kings. ”

The paladin loosened his arm from my neck. There was a soft smile on his mouth.

“I really appreciate your input. Hmm. Let's plan for the Four Kings' eyes. ”

And the paladin quickly made a proposal.

Some students are selected and sent to [Mermaid Falls of the Aikim Empire].

We're going to look at the problems and conflicts that arise there, and then we're going to come up with solutions, and then we're going to scale up the student body.

And then we're going to increase the number of places of study, and finally, the newborns are going to invite us to [Babylon], the city on the first floor of our tower.

“Hehe.”

The paladin smiles small. The Sagittarians, without any objection, have agreed to the paladin's terms. "What would a mermaid from another world look like? There really is a lake that big?” I was excited.

Just like the kids on a math trip.

“You really don't know life. ”

“Yes?”

“Even though it's just a metaphor, I'm a parent who raises children. I'll reconcile with Black Dragon Juice and become friends again. Even with the other guild leaders.... ”

The paladin smiled and looked at me. But that gaze was directed elsewhere than at me.

“…… really. That's what happened. ”

The voice of the paladin suddenly grew distant.

Is he reminiscing about the old days?

"......."

I had to keep my mouth shut again.

Before reaching the 15th floor of the tower where the mermaid lakes exist. When I first ascended to the 13th floor of the tower, we welcomed the traitors inside and split up.

I was divided.

"......."

I guessed who the traitor was. But instead of uncovering the traitor, I dug deep by changing the stage itself to prevent that from happening.

At that time, I sometimes thought it was a good thing that I did not suspect the identity of the traitor, but I could now see the paladin's side and think without wavering.

‘Yes.'

It was a good thing.

‘That's it. ’

The mist of dawn was rising gradually in the forest. Beneath the palm tree, the Inquisitor continues to speak with the mountain tribes. The Inquisitor's expression was serious, but sometimes he laughed as usual.

The Earl, on the other hand, strokes the fairies' heads. Is that some kind of pledge of allegiance? Or is it the first love expression parents show their children? Perhaps both, but the Earl was smiling and the fairies seemed happy.

“Thank you.”

The paladin said:

And he looked at me.

“You're a good friend. Kim Gong-ja.”

"......."

“Patricia.”

The static flowed.

“That's my real name. Patricia. You can call me Patricia when no one else is around. If the vigilantes hear about this, there may be a lot of favoritism controversy going on. ”

"......."

“Surely the children you raised will understand you. Miamigo.”

The paladin walks to the creek where the mermaids hang out. Then I took off my heavy armor, helmet and gloves and dived between the mermaids. [Quest progress.]

[The cardboard vote begins.]

Splash!

[Voting completed.]

[Vote 2: 01.32 percent]

[Vote 1: 98.68 percent]

[We would like to inform you that voting number 1 has exceeded the majority.]

From a distance, you hear the birds giggling.

I've heard about God walking with me, I've heard about God carrying me on my back, I've even heard about God dancing with me…….

The kind of god who swims with himselves.Only the newborns are allowed happiness.

[Stage cleared.]

[42nd Floor Stage Cleared!]

I watched the gods, races, parents and children swimming in the river of palm trees for a long time.

And...

“Ugor.”

A familiar child's voice was heard behind my back.

“Abby.”

Ubrica.

I nodded.

‘Yes.'

Inquisitors, Earls and Paladins cleared the stage in turn, so it's my turn with Black Dragonlord.

The Black Dragon Juju leaves the waiting room and says, "Never peek! Kim Gong-ja, I'll poison you if you peek! ’and received my promise. You don't want anyone to see you in parental mode talking to a bunch of vampires.

I felt the seriousness of Anastasia, not just by killing them, but by talking about specific ways of ‘poisoning them’.

What are you gonna do?

A child with no skill set should be weaved.

“Phew……."

But unlike Anastasia, I'm not ashamed at all. How close am I to the kids? Rather, I hope you will envy me after watching how peaceful I am with my children, how strong our parents are, and how much I am with my children. I'd appreciate it if you'd feel jealous.

“Oh no, Ubukaya---"

I slowly turned my back and planned to embrace Ubrica with open arms.

The Inquisitor showed mental growth by showing apology to the children, the Earl showed capitalistic virtue in giving them a place to work, and the paladin always showed a preference for their minds.

I, Gong Gong Gong, am really the sky.

Speaking of Skye.

I am confident that I will show you mental growth, capitalistic virtue, and even the heart.

Of course.

Unlike other parents, I knew from the beginning that [one day, my true self will be revealed to children].

If we keep watch, we'll be completely incapacitated.

In a way, the biggest enemy in life is his child, and in that sense, the designated children can never be enemies to me who have already been able to see everything.

"Ugor! Even when my colleagues laughed at me for choosing a Goblin, my father chose our tribe carefully...!" ’

Or...

‘I know it's legendary that Abby taught us all the texting and tattoos, but I'm so impressed to see it in person! Ugh! Maybe Father didn't give us everything from one to ten! ’

Or Radar.

‘Father's grace is like heaven, so there is no way to repay it... Had it not been for Abby, we would have been the losers of the continent, and we would have been much more ferocious than we are now. Abby is a true friend. ’

Etc.

I already have in my ear hundreds of thousands of Ubricans and hundreds of thousands of designees saying, "Father! I heard a hymn saying, ’Abby!'

Of course, when it comes to praises like this,

What are you talking about? It's all because of you guys. ’

‘This father is enough for you to see a big splendid figure.... ’

"I love you, children...! ’

I am ready to lose my temper.

Perfect.

I am not the light from now on. A sky full of light.

Skye, not Shining.

The moment of glory that will be reborn as the true Sky Confucius will now unfold.

I looked back as I widened my sales smile trained by the Black Dragon Wine.

Expecting an intense hug from your child.

“Come on, give me a hug -- “

"Abby.”

There was something passionate about it.

“My back was clearly empty. ”

A huge axe flew out of my chest with a fierce aim.

“---Holy shit, fuck!? ”

Boom!

Avoiding the blow was purely due to my high temperament. Maybe it's because I felt something strange on the slate of the messenger who's been watching me with such a pathetic face for a long time, but I couldn't have avoided it without my mysterious code.

“Hugger.”

Ubrica grimaces at you with an axe.

Then, I spat on the floor.

“Abby's body flutters with squirrels roaming in the woods. I thought the attack was complete. ”

“Yi, what are you doing! Ubrica!”

I looked over Ubrica's shoulder in embarrassment. The children who followed Ubrica now stand swarming with red designations, not only their hearts, but their skin as well.

If my eyes were not severely damaged, they also held a weapon in each hand.

When I met my parents, it was a very inappropriate type of equipment.

“What a touching reunion!? You saw my video of taking care of you for thousands of years!? ”

“I saw.”

“I saw it, why did you swing the axe! ”

“I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Ubrica bares her fangs.

“We've known that Abby cares about us for a long time, so it doesn't matter if she comes and watches the video now. ”

“What, what? ”

“Think about it, Hugger. Every time we get bored, we go to the theater and watch the bloodshed. It's her love, trials, and friend stories that come up on a daily topic from the bloodstream. The bloodstream, which the father played, wore out, so now all the designated people can recite it with their eyes closed. ”

"......."

“You forget there's a threshold to people, Abby. ”

Oh, my god.

What is this?

Is it a phenomenon where if you spread your love too much, you don't feel good about your parents because you take it for granted?

“No way! ”

“be."

Booooo!

Ubrica wields the axe again. This time I carefully surrounded the error. As I absorbed the Qi, I could see whether or not the error had grown to a level, and if not, the unusual aggressiveness was fainted.

“Hiic!? Save Abby!”

“Oh! I've been waiting for a day like this! ”

The biceps in Ubrica were throbbing.

“I lost miserably to Abby the first day I met her! Even after I got to the constellation, I was attacked by my father! But, but today! Until this day, when the turtle has steamed its head, it will finally set an example for its father! ”

“Crazy! I wish I'd lost twice! You still have it in your heart!? ”

“Ugor. Who do you think I am, Abby?" ”

[The muscle pig dreaming of a family roars.]

“The chairman of the Peace Council, who dreamed of beating his father to death, president of the Four Kings, son of his father, Ubrica! ”

Look at his nickname.
