However, when the divine being increased in size, the twins noticed. Enlarging and reducing the body size both required the use of divine power.

Moreover, if the body size increased, it would undoubtedly be noticed not only by the twins but also by other employees. I couldn’t decide whether it was fortunate that I hadn’t found the divine being until now or unfortunate that it was now exposed.

So, I emphasized to the divine being not to enlarge its body size, not to use divine power, every time. But today, for some reason, it suddenly enlarged its body.

Of course, the size of the body it enlarged now was not the size of its original form. The original form was supposed to be incredibly huge, suitable for being pressed against a mountain.

The divine being said annoyingly, tapping on my ankles.

There was no time to be leisurely surprised. I quickly opened the bag. The White Snake slid smoothly into the bag, familiarly.
A frightening cracking sound came from behind as I closed the bag. Startled, I turned my head, and there was Clemens casually brushing off the crumbling building.

“Gotcha, little one.”

Clemens nonchalantly brushed off the dust on his hands and walked towards me.

“What were you doing here? Playing alone?”

“Uh, yeah, but, uh, Brother, the annex over there collapsed…”

“Oh, it’s nothing. The building must have weakened due to its age.”

‘That building was newly built last year…’

I swallowed dry saliva. At first, when Sus used divine power, only Devan would rush in and investigate the surroundings.

However, from three years ago, Clemens also started showing up when Devan manifested his power, sensing those signs.

‘Still, I don’t think he can sense that the energy is divine power.’

Anyway, if Clemens is here, it won’t end there. Now that Clemens has noticed, it’s certain that others have noticed as well.

I took a deep breath and steeled my resolve. Beside me, Clemens covered my ears.

Once again, a thunderous sound echoed like boom! The ground shook, and dust rose between the fallen trees.

Clemens spoke firmly, “You got scared, little one. And I told you not to casually uproot trees.”

“Oh, this time, Hyung came first.”

This time, Devan was the one who uprooted the tree. Devan instantly quelled the flying dust with his magic.

“See, I told you it’s nothing.”

After that, Mika calmly walked over. Devan turned back to look at him, and with an annoyed expression, raised one eyebrow.

“Still, we have to check. You saw it too, how many strange things were in Keduaque. We can’t just sit still; there might be new types of monsters coming. And what about you, Mikael? Do you see our knight order as something that would let such things go?”

Ah, there was another reason. The reason why Sus could use divine power sometimes without being noticed until now.

Namely, divine power was attributed to abnormal phenomena caused by attacks of new types of monsters or peculiar phenomena unique to Hesse’s land.

“You too, sir. Every time something strange happens, you demolish a building in a hurry. How can we leave it like that?”

“Oh, that wasn’t intentional. It’s just that I was in a hurry, and I couldn’t slow down.”

“Right, and if strange monsters or anything unusual appears, we have to check right away. It might be very dangerous for that little guy, you know. Look at him. He still looks like he hasn’t taken care of himself at all.”

Devan shook his head, looking at me. I glared at him with intensity.

‘It’s not that bad!’

“Well, you’re right.”
I clenched my fist and faced him head-on. Micael glanced at Devan with a look of disdain.

In fact, the only one in the family who wasn’t overly protective was Micael. Unlike the rest of the family, Micael was the type to face reality.

Suddenly, Micael’s gaze, which had been on me, narrowed. Looking at me up and down, he spoke with a suspicious tone.

“Come to think of it, it’s quite strange.”

“What is?”

“Why does it seem like strange phenomena only happen where you are?”

“Well, I don’t think so…”

“Last time during the last abnormal event, and several times it happened in your room, didn’t it?”

“Well, maybe.”

Avoiding the suspicious gaze of Micael, I poked the ground with my toe.

“Don’t needlessly suspect.”

“Right, even when Dia wasn’t here, abnormal phenomena used to happen.”

Micael sighed deeply and reiterated what he had always emphasized—the family was overly protective of me.

“Think about it. Even if Dia were in the room today, would you still have destroyed the annex, uprooted trees, and rushed out like this? It’s too much when it comes to anything related to Dia. Moreover, it’s not just any place; it’s the mansion. How big of a problem would it be if something happened?”

I strongly agreed with Micael’s words. Nodding vigorously, Micael, encouraged by my actions, continued passionately.

“In the future, we can’t live our lives always protecting Dia, can we?”

“We’ll live protecting her.”

“We’ll protect her.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Micael gave an answer. In response to such an immediate answer, Micael had a stunned expression.

And so did I!

‘I’m going to be independent!’

At that moment, Clements suddenly covered my ears. Devan used magic to create a solid barrier around, simultaneously, Micael, looking back with a frowning expression.

Kwooong!

The annex that Clements had turned into gold collapsed with a roar. Although the barrier was in place, the ground couldn’t help but shake.

I stared blankly as the new building collapsed weakly.

“What about Dia? Is she okay?”

“Father! We’re here!”

For some reason, Devan waved both hands excitedly. In response, Clements also spoke loudly.

“Dia is fine.”

Dad checked on us and sighed in relief.

“Well, thankfully nothing happened.”

The tree was uprooted, and the new annex collapsed.

‘If this isn’t something major, then what is it…’
