Chapter 1203 – 1203. Reflecting on Past Relationships
As soon as I returned to the ship, I immediately held a meeting.
And the first agenda item that came up was about Luna’s parents, Jurgen and Nora.
Han Na said while looking at the hologram displayed in the center of the office.
“We’re about halfway through it now. “It will be complete when I go to my next destination and come back.”
The next destination was decided to be Yggdrasil, so the story was that it would be completed once you go to Yggdrasil.
“Then I guess I should go to Shutra after Yggdrasil.”
Naturally, the next destination for Yggdrasil was decided.
Although I used the expression, “I went on a journey,” I had no intention of staying as long as before.
Actually, I wanted to stay for a long time for Luna’s sake, but…
“Just in case, I cannot use the speed-up system for a long period of time like before.”
Unfortunately, she had to give up that idea after hearing Armonia’s warning.
Double speed system.
It’s not that you can’t use it at all, but you can’t use it as freely as before.
“How long can you stay?”
“About three days at most.”
As soon as I heard Armonia’s words, I looked at Luna, who was sitting on her sofa.
Luna immediately realized that I was watching and nodded her head with a bitter smile.
“Don’t make that face. That’s enough for me.”
It can’t be enough.
It’s a reunion with my parents, whom I’ve wanted to meet my entire life, but three days will feel like not enough.
However, Luna hid her feelings and responded with a smile.
“Rather, I’m just grateful that you took the time for me.”
“Even if you can’t stay for long at a time, I’ll let you often visit.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
That was the end of her first agenda.
The second agenda item came up, and that issue also started with Kang Han-na’s remarks.
“Second is… “I’m making that fly.”
I, the strong one, frowned at her as if she didn’t want to even think about it when she said it with her own mouth.
Perhaps because she has tuberculosis, she doesn’t even seem to want to say the word Paris.
“As I said before, the deadline is two months.”
According to my strong words, she said it would take two months.
If we stay in Yggdrasil for more than two months, it will be completed…
“I think it would be best not to stay in Yggdrasil for more than two months.”
Armonia actively expressed opposition.
The reason was simple.
“A new mission has been assigned, but the other side is requesting a quick visit because the situation is urgent.”
“How urgent is it?”
When I said the other side, I meant the Zodiac.
Even if you call it Zodiac, it is ultimately just an automated system…
However, the fact that such a system continues to send such requests means that it is very urgent.
However, Armonia actually answered with a blunt expression.
“According to the other side’s message, capital, manpower, information power, power… “Everything is said to be inferior.”
“…”
To put it simply, it means you’re getting beaten up, right?
Then shouldn’t we go before Yggdrasil?
When I put that questioning look on her face, Armonia noticed my question and answered.
“Since we are so inferior, we decided that it would be better to grow a little more in Yggdrasil.”
“Aha…”
Convinced.
Currently, Yggdrasil has become like a golden bonanza to me.
I’m not interested in the first floor.
I am receiving the respect of the spirits that rule the second floor.
The goblins who rule the third floor are on my side.
The royal family that rules the 4th floor is my family.
Stella, who rules the 5th floor, has become my sex slave.
In effect, I had become the ruler of Midgard (1st to 5th floors).
There is still a divine realm left…
‘I could have caught midsummer… The Yggdrasil mission is virtually over.’
In the first place, my goal was not the divine world, so I wasn’t particularly concerned.
But that didn’t mean I wouldn’t ascend to the divine realm.
‘… I guess I have to save them.’
Yggdrasil trapped by an unidentified light.
I had no intention of stopping climbing Yggdrasil even to save that child.
Above all, there was a reason to save Yggdrasil.
‘Wish and dominion.’
In the case of governance, I was not particularly attracted to it because it had virtually lost its meaning.
‘You have to get your wish first.’
I didn’t want to give up on my wish.
In fact, wishes were meaningless.
It is highly likely that Yggdrasil’s wish is limited to Yggdrasil, not the entire universe.
Nevertheless, I planned to get my wish.
‘If another cub takes advantage of the time I’m away and eats it, it’ll be a headache…’
No matter how much I am the ruler of Midgard, I will be powerless before Yggdrasil’s officially certified rulership.
If the guy I’m in a bad relationship with makes a wish…
‘Wow… When midsummer makes a wish… It’s scary to even imagine.’
The tower I built will collapse in one fell swoop.
In order to avoid such a situation, I decided to obtain my wish myself.
“Good. Let’s go and investigate the elves’ abilities.”
I decided that there might be someone with abilities that could be helpful when fighting Cho Kang-hyeon.
Find helpful abilities and learn them with Enel.
That was the core goal of this visit to Yggdrasil.
In that way, the order of destinations was all decided.
Yggdrasil (within two months), Shutra (within three days), new mission location, consulate.
‘I need to be well-prepared before going to the consulate.’
I don’t know if the mission will end during my next visit, but at least I will have a fight with Cho Kang-hyeon.
If the tower goes to war with the church, Cho Kang-hyeon will definitely participate.
‘Be prepared because I will repay you twice what you did to those two people.’
I remembered what happened to Cho Seo-hyun and Seong Su-ah and vowed revenge.
The meeting ended like that, and only Armonia and I were left to continue the conversation.
“I would like to tell you about a new mission.”
It was about a new mission.
I tilted my head while listening to Armonia’s words.
“Isn’t it okay to do it earlier?”
Anyway, if it was about the mission, I thought it would be okay to do it during the meeting.
But Armonia shook her head and answered.
“From now on, I think it would be a good idea to avoid conversations during meetings that require direct mention of the Zodiac.”
“Ah…”
Now that I think about it, Armonia hasn’t directly mentioned the word Zodiac since a while ago.
‘I didn’t think much of it when they said it was the other side, but they deliberately avoided mentioning it.’
Since that was what Armonia said, I nodded at her without asking anything.
“Okay. Then tell me about your new mission.”
“I understand.”
Armonia continued her explanation while floating a large hologram in front of me.
“Suho, is there a world where there is ether? Do you remember?”
“Ah, every time I remember…”
A world where I went to play with her ship family, including Armonia, before meeting Shiho and I, who were still strong.
Her original purpose was to go to the amusement park and just have fun, but she ended up meeting an unexpected person.
That person is…
“Viola, this is the world that that bastard who glanced at was in, right?”
It was the main character (presumed to be an elementary school student) who was spying on the viola.
When I muttered while chewing my lip, Armonia responded with a slightly puzzled expression.
“… “I didn’t know you would remember that.”
“What are you talking about? The guy who stole my woman will be remembered for the rest of his life.”
“…”
Even if I forget everything else, I can’t resist flirting with my girl.
As I pondered my anger, Armonia continued the story with a shallow sigh.
“That’s where the new mission is.”
“What?”
I was so surprised that I had no choice but to swallow my anger and ponder my doubts.
“No, anyway, isn’t he too young?”
As I remember, there were two girls next to him.
A girl with short red hair who looks like a manly man, and a girl with long blue hair who looks at others.
And the two children had one thing in common.
“You’re not telling me to deal with those two elementary school students, are you?”
The point was that they were both as young as the boys.
“No, do you want to have a sister or a mother?”
Or your aunt…
But even if such a being exists, the fact that the other person is young enough to embarrass me remains the same.
Armonia, who heard my question, shook her head and answered.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
“… ?”
Armonia began to enlarge part of her hologram.
And what appears in the enlarged part is…
“Oooh… What? It’s so fucking pretty!”
It was the appearance of a woman with red colored fabric covering her entire body.
It wasn’t just ordinary clothes either.
“Hey… “You look like some kind of magical girl.”
She was a woman dressed in the form of a magical girl like Viola.
Additionally, he was in his early 20s and seemed to be around the same age as Viola.
As I stared at the screen as if fascinated, Armonia told me the woman’s identity with an expressionless expression.
“That’s the girl with red hair I met before.”
“… “What?”
Armonia’s words forced my brain, which had been paralyzed from shock, to work and recalled old memories.
A girl with a loud voice and short red hair.
Because she even wore a hat, she was initially thought to be a girl.
Even if she stretched out her hand, she was so small that she couldn’t even place her hand on my shoulder.
That kid…
“No way… Lie…”
Anyone can see that he has grown into a figure that suits the family of this ship.
As I muttered absentmindedly, Armonia shook her head and answered.
“Why would I tell such a lie?”
“No, but… How… ?”
I wondered if counterfeit ether could even change one’s age.
However, with Armonia’s answer, I was able to immediately resolve this question.
“The temple used a double speed system.”
“Aha…”
The double speed system was used while we were elsewhere.
And the difference in time is…
“It is said that 10 years have passed as of now.”
10 years.
And the story is…
“It is said that all ether masters currently active in the other world are saints.”
It was true that the new mission location had become the optimal mission location.
While listening to Armonia’s answer, I stared blankly at the screen.
A woman who appears to have a slightly sexy outfit and a cheerful personality.
And her hair that has grown for 10 years…
‘C… ? D… ?’
Even my chest is full…
As I looked at the woman on the screen, I blurted out a thought without even realizing it.
“… “Can’t I go right away?”
“…”
I wanted to go right away and see with my own eyes how it has grown.
But Armonia shook her head and answered.
“Except for that woman, there is not enough information about the remaining ether owners.”
“Huh? Are you talking about that blue-haired kid?”
She was a quiet girl, so she had no presence, but I could at least remember that she was pretty.
But Armonia shook her head and answered.
“It looks like there are three more besides that blue-haired kid.”
“… Then five people?”
It’s not like it’s some kind of subtitle…
Of course, just because there were many didn’t mean I was reluctant to take on new missions.
However, the other person is none other than a woman who possesses tremendous ether like Viola.
Dealing with five such women wouldn’t be easy.
“She will be that difficult to deal with, so I decided that if I had to go, it would be best after visiting Yggdrasil.”
“Yeah, that would be good.”
I immediately agreed with Armonia’s words and nodded.
“I don’t know anything else, but I don’t want to hide like a consulate.”
Of course, my opponent is not the ether girls, but the man hiding behind them, so there is no guarantee that an armed conflict will occur.
But if there’s one thing I’ve learned while traveling through space…
“There’s nothing wrong with being strong.”
Power meant right.
If you have power, you can create the situation you want, but if you lack power, there are times when you can only think and not execute due to restrictions.
Of course, this did not mean that those ether girls would be subdued by force.
A woman as innocent as Viola will make you open your heart…
“If it’s not there, I’ll have to use force to press it down.”
“…”
A woman like Moon Ju-ah will make you open your legs.
But funny enough, my real target wasn’t the ether girls.
The real target is the boy who is plotting a scheme behind the ether girl.
I smiled bitterly as I remembered that boy.
Hehe… Wait, kid. Now that you’re older, it’s time to pay for stealing the viola.”
“…”
I looked forward to a new mission and vowed revenge.
