Since all the situations were intertwined like tangled threads, it felt like if she could grab one knot well, everything would unravel.

A special situation that hadn’t happened in the memories of the awakened ones.

Vercheria was contemplating the Veloprofai she had encountered last, which she hadn’t thought about in the confusion at that time.

Back then, she was too surprised and hadn’t thought about it, but now, looking back, the Veloprofai with a lizard’s body on a man’s head had the same pattern on the back and tail as Lauren’s Owly.

Vercheria’s steps, which had been walking steadily, slowly came to a halt.
Due to living in the tower, Vercheria, who was particularly fond of cute things, had expressed intense affection whenever she saw Owly.

Owly had also followed Vercheria peculiarly.

But what if that Owly was Veloprofai?

“Ha?”

As Vercheria made a perplexed expression, Lacrahann approached her again.

“Why?”

Vercheria tilted her head.

“No reason.”

Explaining to Lacrahann would take too long, including the stories of Lauren and Dicfer.

Then, Lauren and Veloprofai must have been to Feriat much earlier.

Why?

She moved her legs again.

Even searching through the memories of the awakened ones, there was almost no information about Veloprofai or Dicfer.

Only their names occasionally came up in conversations.

There were no memories of contact, conversation, or encounters with them.

Since each of them managed different countries, it was perhaps the most natural thing not to meet.

But why were all the gods gathering in Feriat, especially in the north?

Why?

What did they want to find out?

“Vercheria.”

Lost in thought, Vercheria didn’t hear what Lacrahann said.

“Vercheria. Hold on!”

Suddenly, the feeling of being pulled made the scenery spin around her, and where it stopped was in front of Lacrahann’s face.

“Why are you like this? It could have been a big problem.”

“…….”

Vercheria swept Lacrahann’s face with a renewed gaze.

His even forehead, without a flat appearance, rounded out perfectly, slightly softening his sharp eyes.

The sharp nose perfectly centered the face and made the more beautiful red lips than a woman not overly conspicuous.

Upon reflection, Lacrahann’s face tended to be excessively perfect to call him a human.

Why didn’t she think from the beginning that it was because divine blood was mixed in?

“Saw enough?”

“Yes?”

“I’m asking if you’ve enjoyed looking at my face.”

“Ah, yes.”

Strictly speaking, Vercheria couldn’t be called a perfect god.

She was an awakened one, in other words, a being borrowing a body for a while to do a job.

Strictly speaking, a being like Veloprofai, who took care of humans entirely on its own without the need for awakened ones, was much closer to the name of a god.

If she went to the border village now, what would change?

If Lacrahann found out that he was a god and, as a result, his connections with other people were predetermined in his current life?

If, for some reason, Vercheria had to part with him?

If the relationship with me is something that the absolute god opposes?

If Lacrahann were a god, he could be a very precious existence to the absolute god.

She tightly clenched the fist with the ring.

Just thinking about Lacrahann being with another woman made her heart feel like it was already throbbing in one part.
“Vercheria, will you stop now and tell me why you’re acting like this?”

Even though it was embarrassing for Lacrahann that Vercheria was staring so openly, he endured it.

Still, he thought she was looking because she wanted to, not because she disliked it.

But it was actually a problem that she continued to stare without giving any answers.

“Then let me ask this time.”

“……?”

“What have you been thinking about since earlier? Is something wrong?”

“No, it’s nothing…….”

Lacrahann gestured to the path she had just walked.

There was a steep downhill slope there.

If they had slipped, it would have been a big problem.

Vercheria also had a dizzying angle.

“It seems a bit extreme not to see this either. Have you perhaps thought about another man?”

“What? No, that’s not possible.”

“Then really, what are you thinking about?”

Vercheria bit her lip painfully.

“I still don’t know. I just can’t understand all of this with my head.”

“What is it? Still, wouldn’t it be better to think about it together?”

Vercheria eventually confided about meeting Veloprofai.

That he was a lizard, then a lizard with a human head, and eventually became a human.

“The poison you ingested was a potion made by a fire attribute magician?”

“Yes.”

Lacrahann nodded as if he finally understood.

“The reason I had a fever in the morning was because of this.”

“Veloprofai also talked about the side effects.”

“I also read about it in the library. The one who created the portal initially recorded everything like a diary. I read it.”

“Oh.”

“Now I understand why my strength returned.”

Lacrahann was lost in thought.

“But, Vercheria, if that’s true, your power might be temporary.”

“Temporary?”

“Yeah. As far as I know…”

Lacrahann didn’t want to disappoint Vercheria, but he also didn’t want to hide the possibility of what could happen.

“There is an herb that can completely break down that potion and stabilize your power. It’s only a possibility. After the job is done, you can look for records when you enter the castle.”

“Yes.”

The two started walking again.

They didn’t know yet who the presence they would encounter in the forest was.

An unimaginable presence.
