Ruth, Benedict, and Mihay looked at Ardell with pleased smiles, while Ardell faced them with a fierce gaze.

“…This little rat is the divine Ardell who abandoned our world and ran away?”

“Squeak, squeak! (Isn’t this creature’s way of speaking excessively thick!)”

“I can’t understand what it’s squeaking about. Siena, could you interpret?”

I could understand Ardell’s words as a guinea pig, but I lied, saying I couldn’t understand without smearing my mouth with saliva.

Ardell endured this level of embarrassment because he was used to fighting.

Indeed, Ardell faced me and squeaked defiantly.

“Squeak, squeak! (Impolite human! This is why wizards oppose the priests of the temple! How dare you speak such vulgar words to a god…!)”

Even if he got angry, it didn’t have much impact, as he looked like a cute guinea pig.

Whether Ardell got angry or not, the people gathered here didn’t care. They only glared at him, expressing their anger about the hardships they had endured.

Siena glanced at the guinea pig Ardell, who seemed to feel a sense of crisis, and Ardell, in a way that I didn’t notice, earnestly pleaded with her.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak. (Chosen saint, it’s an order, don’t do that interpretation. Just a moment…)”

However, disregarding Ardell’s request, Siena coldly changed her gaze and revealed everything the guinea pig said.

“Ardell asks not to interpret what he says.”

“Squeak, squeak! (Why does the saint, who serves the gods, behave so recklessly!)”

“He was rude to Rus earlier, saying that wizards, like me, are opposed to the priests of the temple and are vulgar.”

“Oh, I see… If he is a god, he seems quite small.”

Flames flickered in Ruth’s silver-gray eyes.

“He seems to have turned into a guinea pig. Shall we take him to hell? It seems we were short of Morzont, who we brought in for experimentation.”

“Squeak, squeak! (Ho, how frightening! Zero! Ilrang! What are you going to do without expelling this author!)”

Unlike the clamor, the pitiful guinea pig, trembling, hid behind Zero, who was smaller than him. It was a ridiculous farce.

Benedict, who looked at it with a fierce gaze, delivered a heavy blow.

“He may have been a god, but is he now reduced to a mere insect? It seems that the form of a guinea pig suits him better.”

“Squeak, squeak… (To think that even someone born with the closest blood to nature, like an elf, could have such a bitter tongue…)”

“Ben, your tongue is too spicy; the god seems frightened. Ruth pleaded with Ilrang and Zero to expel me.”

“Squeak…! (You! Is it really right for a saint to serve me! How can you take the side of humans who are not me!)”

Siena, the saint who understood Ardell’s squeaky language, smiled gently.

“I don’t think I have a reason to accept the divine who ran away without fulfilling his responsibilities.”

“Well, then.”
I shook my head to the side. Everyone here was a victim of Ardell’s neglect of duties, but among them, Siena had been particularly tormented by the title of the protagonist receiving the love of the gods, Kiriya.

“If Ardell has a conscience, he shouldn’t say anything. I’m grateful for helping us recover our memories, but that was something he should have done naturally.”

“Squeak, squeak! (These guys…)”

Ardell muttered for a moment, then fell silent. Whether he realized his mistake, or he sensed that saying more would only bring hurtful words, he kept his mouth shut.

“If he’s a god, I’d like to take him to the temple right away for a sacred trial…”

“Squeak… (Stop… I was wrong. So please stop…)”

Even the trusted holy knight and archbishop turned away from Ardell.

Ardell completely wilted and curled up into a ball. Once a founding pope who started the Kaladia Empire and a saint, he looked extremely miserable.

“Well, even if we confirm that the world has been safely restored, it will soon return to its original state.”

I didn’t feel like stopping my colleagues who were heading there. They were all speaking the truth.

Rather, even I refrained from saying various things to Ardell, and I felt vicarious satisfaction watching my colleagues.

“Ha, this is it. The clogged heart is finally opening up.”

Colleagues who regained their memories were no different from before. I naturally burst into laughter, feeling truly at home.

“Now it feels like I’ve really come back home.”

I had often said that I wanted to go back home, but in reality, I wasn’t particularly attached to the original world.

In a life where there was nothing to regret even if lost, the only thing I had always yearned for was precious people to rely on and support.

So, this world was truly my real home and the place I should return to.

While listening comfortably to the conversation, Siena turned her sparkling green eyes to me.

“Ilang-nim, so are you going to stay in this world from now on?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“In that case, where do you plan to stay? Ilang-nim is no longer Lady Kitten, but staying here might be uncomfortable, considering that you’re not free to move around.”

Siena’s words were correct.
