Chak! Greed stretched out its front paw. My palm touched the small front paw that was shining with gloss, and I felt good.

I fiddled with Greed’s front paw without mercy and gave the second command.

“Call me ‘master’ from now on.”

Then Greed flatly refused.

[It won’t work. I have my own master.]

“Who?”

[Worship the great god who will rule this world, Irkalla.]

“……?”

Why is the tone normal now?

The feeling was like a cultist preaching, so I naturally felt a rejection.

“You do it.”

[How dare you ignore Irkalla[—].]

“Anyway, I’m the owner of the sealing stone, so follow my commands from now on.”

[…….]

“Greed, answer.”

[Understood.]

So I made a black fox with a strange tone of speech into a slave. The first plan succeeded as I initially intended.

Now all that remained was the second plan.

To return to where I originally was.

“Hey, Greed. How do I get out of here?”

[……Since we made a deal, just leave with me.]

Whether it was sulking that things didn’t go its way, Greed turned its head sharply as it answered.

The method was simpler than I thought. I swiftly lifted Greed, whose paw was still attached to me.

[What are you doing!]

“We need to get out of here. Let’s go, it’s a command.”

My head was still hurting, and my stomach was churning, so I wanted to get out of this space as soon as possible.

[Understood. Leaving now.]

With Greed’s words, wind blew from the front.

And, the scenery surrounding me changed the moment I closed and opened my eyes.

Then, there was Greed’s murmur that Elodie did not hear.

[But why do you smell like my master?]

(This is a time separator.)

Ishtar’s substitute war.

The heroes who sealed the sins regularly held meetings to check if the seal’s watch was going well, and this was later named the gathering.

The royal family, attending as a direct line of Wilrentia, Adenmir, was listening to the tiresome viceroys, waiting only for the gathering to end.

The direct lines of each house, waiting for the prayer meeting to be prepared, were scattered everywhere.

Though they were direct lines, there were not many people. The number of priests in the temple was even more, actually.

The participants were as follows.

Duke and Duchess Angelos and their daughter Dorothea Angelos.

Leon Kruendel, the Duke of Kruendel family. Unmarried and childless, he attended alone this time.

Next were the Duke and Duchess of Ferdia and their two sons.

The last was Seberus, but as the head of the family was in a coma and absent, a protector and assistant attended as a proxy.

‘How boring.’

As Adenmir quickly hoped for the gathering to end, that moment.

The people of Ferdia were picking up and putting down the priests.

“Aah, I miss my sister.”
Karlott, sitting idle at the words thrown, faintly smiled and replied.

“Elodie wouldn’t think so.”

“What does Mother know? I know Sister best, don’t I?”

At Karlott’s words filled with pride, Themis sneered.

Though my son, it was pathetic, blustering without knowing that Elodie only thinks about independence.

Karlott, who kept calling sister, sister, suddenly began to look around.

“Shall I take a souvenir?”

“What kind of souvenir?”

At Yansi’s question, Karlott grinned and pointed to something right next to him.

“This statue, by breaking it and taking it.”

At Karlott’s remark about taking a temple statue as a souvenir, the faces of the nearby priests turned pale.

Yansi laughed and dissuaded him.

“Stop it, Karl. Lili won’t like a mere stone.”

At those words, the priests’ faces turned blue.

‘Blasphemy…!’

Perhaps the priests’ earnest wish was heard, for soon the prayer meeting began.

The venue for the prayer meeting was a sanctuary called ‘Ishtar’s Spring’, located in the center of the temple.

What was peculiar was that it flowed not inside the building but in the courtyard, so it was open above the head.

Naturally, no one was focused on the tedious prayer.

“When the second hero attacked greed, the earth quaked, and the temple crumbled…”

It was then, reciting the boring prayer.

The old chief priest suddenly opened his eyes wide and jumped up.

“Oh, an oracle. An oracle has come down!!”

Oracle.

The priests at the spring, and even the direct descendants of the 4 great families, were surprised at the words that an oracle, which had not come down in several years, had descended.

The excited chief priest began to recite the word of God verbatim.

“The savior who will save the fallen world will come down[Dash]!”

It was that very moment.

Splash[Dash]!

Suddenly, someone dropped from the sky into the spring.

“……!”

At the unbelievable sight, those who witnessed that scene mostly covered their mouths with both hands.

The uninvited guest in the spring muttered, peeling off the clinging wet clothes.

“Ah, it’s cold! What is this, water torture now……?!”

The first to respond to the shivering voice was the Ferdia family.

They all seemed to simultaneously open their mouths as if by agreement.

“Lili?”

“Sister!”

“Elodie?”

“Why are you here?”

At their voices, the surprised, uninvited guest opened her eyes wide and raised her head.

‘What’s this? Here… temple?’

Elodie, who inadvertently became a temple intruder, smiled awkwardly and greeted.

Ha ha.

“Hello……?”

“…….”

“…….”

Unfortunately, it seemed that no one was fine.
