Chapter 355 – 355. Newbie Education (1)
“It’s a demon child.”
“… Mr. Belldandy?”
Lily, who was sobbing while holding her letter and belongings left by her mother, widened her eyes at the appearance of a blonde, green-eyed goddess in front of her.
Gently stroking Lily’s hair, Belldandi offered words of comfort.
“Are you okay?”
“Ah…”
The feeling of her goddess with her pitiful expression was full of warm kindness.
“Okay. Are you okay.”
He pulls Lily’s face into her voluptuous chest, brushing her hair and tidying her up.
The feeling is so cozy and warm, as if her mother had held her in her arms in the past.
Nostalgic kindness full of motherhood.
“Ah… Eww…”
Lily trembled slightly at the longing she didn’t know.
“It’s just me and the demon child here. So…”
Belldandi whispered a kind voice in Lily’s ear as she hugged her tightly.
“You can cry as much as you want.”
I feel like those words kindly break down the embankment of emotions I’ve been holding back so far.
Lily raised her sobs that trembled in her shoulders.
“Black… Whoa… Whoa!”
Hugging Belldandy, Lily let out her cry sadly.
Time passed like that, early evening when the sunset was about to be seen.
Eunhyun entered the room.
“How was it?”
Exhausted from crying, seeing Lily sleeping soundly on the bed in Belldandi’s arms, Eunhyeon asked Belldandy how she was.
“You seem to have settled down a lot now. I fell asleep from exhaustion.”
“Thank you.”
“What. I am a child’s person. It can help your child. It was good.”
Belldandi smiled and shook his head.
She had a materialized body, but in her underworld, Belldandy’s power of divine power was limited, so she was just an ordinary human woman.
So she didn’t feel too bad that she was indirectly helping her Eunhyeon.
The way she gently brushes Lily’s hair down her forehead and shows off her benevolent smile is the look of a mother who really looks at her own child.
Shifting her glance to Eun-hyeon, Belldandi gave her a concerned expression and asked.
“Do you think the demon child can withstand this?”
“… We have to support it to endure it.”
She concluded that her silver role was to be by her side and take care of her, so that Lily, who was aware of the loss of her mother and was in her great despair, could come to her senses. .
“That loss… It’s not something someone can erase at will.”
The loss of her family and the sadness that fills the void is not something that can be easily touched by others from the side.
Eun-hyeon also lost her family, so she knows it well.
As she realizes that she is left alone in the world as her parents and family are all killed by the devil, she cannot easily overcome certain negative emotions that fill her heart.
But there is also one difference between her own case then and Lily’s now.
“Stay with Lily until she comes to her senses.”
If Eun-hyeon was alone at that time, now Lily has Eun-hyeon and Belldandy.
She also has Illyana, Eleanor, and Erin if she goes back home.
There are people who will step off her feet, give, and try to cure her mental illness stemming from her loss.
Eun-hyeon knows how grateful and helpful that is.
Because the 20-year-old had to overcome the sadness and loneliness alone, and there was a time when he wished that someone would be there and asked to know his pain.
Eun-hyeon thought to sympathize with Lily’s pain, to be with her for the rest of her life, and to help her stand up.
“I am happy that my child has grown up well, but… Thank you.”
Belldandy smiled with emotion and bitterness as if watching his child grow.
Eun-hyeon laughed, thinking that only Belldandi could treat him as if he were her son, who had aged over 400 years.
“Are you going to sleep?”
“Yes. It should be.”
The bed prepared in the guest room rented by So Young-joo Tizz is for one person, and it is too big for Belldandy and Lily to use together.
She quickly brought a blanket and spread it on the floor to prepare for sleep.
“Are you not sleeping in bed?”
“… How do you sleep Three in that single bed.”
“Hmm. .”
“No. For now, just hug Lily like that.”
It was Eun-hyeon’s special measure to make Belldandy materialize and comfort Lily, which included consideration to make her feel motherly and bring her to peace of mind and body, even if indirectly.
She wondered if it had worked, and she thought that Lily, who poured out her feelings in his arms, would still need Belldandi.
“Huh, I got it. It’s always a pleasure for a child to ask for help. I will be happy to help.”
“It is an honour.”
Eunhyun smiled like that and fell asleep.

Taking in the sunlight coming through the window, Lily slowly opened her eyes.
‘… I’m choking.’
As soon as she opened her eyes, Lily felt cramped.
Although the soft texture of her bare skin and the pleasant smell made her whole body feel relaxed.
The soft touch that covered her face was enough to startle Lily.
“What!?”
Lily, who had fully awakened her consciousness, swallowed her breath and tried to raise her body, soon realized that she was being held in someone’s arms.
“You woke up.”
“Ah…”
When she cautiously turned her head around, the goddess with blonde green eyes looking down at herself and smiling kindly was enough to embarrass Lily.
Carefully recalling her memories of yesterday, Lily, aware of the ugliness she had shown herself, avoided the gaze of Belldandi, who was smiling brightly as her face blushed.
Lily’s behavior was unnatural, and Belldandy put on a puzzled expression.
“Why?”
“Ah, that, that, that…”
Lily, hesitant about what to say about her, hurriedly got up and escaped from Belldandy’s arms.
“Uh, yesterday I was too rude…”
“Huh, it’s okay. The way she thought of me as her mother and pampered me was quite cute.”
“Ah…”
Lily couldn’t lift her head in embarrassment at Belldandi’s words as she smiled and explained her actions.
She looked around her to force her conversation to divert, then continued her words.
“Master… Are you out?”
“I will be back soon.”
The door opened at just the right time, and Eun-hyeon entered.
“Lily? Are you awake?”
“Ah yes… Sorry. Master. How to eat right away…”
“Are you okay?”
At Eunhyeon’s question, Lily held her breath.
“…”
To be honest, I couldn’t say it was okay.
But even so, Lily tried to make her laugh and nod her head.
“Sure.”
The smile, made desperately to show her own master that she was okay, was obviously camouflaged.
“Okay.”
Eunhyun hugged Lily tightly and patted her back.
“Lord, Master…”
“Are you okay.”
The single word, “It’s okay” Without any other words, was a word that contained many things.
Eun-hyeon, who untied her hug and looked at Lily’s face and responded with a smile, immediately moved her gaze to Verdandi.
“Berdandy.”
“I get it.”
Belldandy immediately nodded her head, released her materialization, flew through the air in a spiritual form, came behind Eunhyeon, and smiled at Lily.
“Let’s go. ‘To home.”
“Ah…”
Only one word was heard, home, and Lily shuddered.
As she became a demon, she realized that the light of salvation had come down on her, who had to live her entire life as a warlock and a demon’s experiment without being treated by humans, and that she had a place to return to. Because.
It wasn’t just sadness that poured out all her emotions and filled her void.
Tears flowed from Lily’s eyes again at her belated realization of the small joy.
But these are tears of joy, not sadness.
“My dear daughter, as much as it was difficult, I hope you will be happy.”
‘Mom. I’m very happy right now.’
Lily felt the joy of being able to faithfully carry out her mother’s will, and she followed behind Eunhyeon and Verdandi, who walked ahead.

“Congratulations. Erin.”
“Ah, ahaha… Thank you.”
Erin smiled awkwardly and scratched her head.
“It’s only been a year since I started working as an adventurer, and already being promoted to the gold ranks is amazing.”
Rumors of Erinn emerging as a new supernova once again stirred up the adventurer’s guild.
She was an adventurer It was because there was no adventurer in history who had just started her career and achieved a gold rank in one year like Erin.
It takes 1 to 2 years to remove the label of a rookie and be promoted to the same rank.
It takes 3 to 5 years to get promoted from the same rank to the silver rank.
It took more than 7 years to be promoted from silver rank to gold rank.
The average amount of time it takes to upgrade an adventurer’s rank.
Considering that one’s body and equipment are like all property, and the lifespan of a job is very short, many adventurers lose their lives in danger before even upgrading to the gold rank.
Even on the continent, the number of adventurers in the golden ranks, which is a small number, is a level that can be treated in any country.
Considering the completion rate of many requests and the fact that he survived the monster frontline of Mo Graph change, and showed great performance and achievements.
It’s not even a nonsense story.
However, even before she became an adventurer, the foundation that she had been building very good skills was definitely benefiting.
“Sheesh… A new chick that is only one year old already?”
“Hey, but they say that the woman and the black knight completely destroyed the Cheolhodan together, but in a way, isn’t the gold ranking a nonsense story?”
The reason why Erinn is at the center of the topic is because the happening with the Cheolhodan guild also played a role this time.
She found out that she had been taking unfair advantage of the adventurer’s newbies and took unfair advantage of them, and arrested them.
As a result, the agenda that came out this time is the’golden rank promotion’.
“No matter how you do it, how are you going to get a first-year senior promoted to the gold rank? Isn’t that a very typical parachute?”
There were people who tried to catch the pod somehow by saying bad things, but Erin didn’t care at all.
“… Sorry. Erin.”
“Oh, it’s okay. What… I understand.”
To some extent, I could understand the psychology of those who were displeased with the fact that a newcomer who came in without a hitch beat them and rose to the top at a high speed.
Of course, they were willing to accept it if they were to fight, but they only grumbled in words and couldn’t directly lay their hands on Erin.
Even if it wasn’t for the background of Eunhyeon and the duke’s family,
Erinn’s skills and rumors were already widely known even within the adventurer’s guild.
Even though he was so jealous and said bad things in words, he didn’t even think of attacking because he knew that Erin’s level of power surpassed his own.
Erin did not feel the value of paying attention to pathetic people who dared to gossip and grumble like that, but couldn’t even attack her.
I just realized that ignoring is the answer and not dealing with him is the answer.
“Then let’s go to the drawing room upstairs.”
“Yes.”
Erin, who was guided by Trisha to the private parlor upstairs, sat across from her, and Trisha went straight to the point.
“I called because I wanted to ask Erin for one thing.”
“A job?”
“Huh… It’s not really a job that makes money, and no one wants to take on such a troublesome job.”
But did she dare to ask herself to do such a thing?
Was questioned, but Erin nodded her head obediently.
Since Trisha has been helping and caring about many of her adventure activities, she is not particularly short on money, and as long as she has time, she is willing to do any request from Trisha, as long as it is not too much. There was
“Erin knows that the Adventurers Guild is creating a curriculum that provides basic education for newbies, right?”
“Yes.”
The welfare policy that fosters adventurers in various ways, such as theory, basic training, and equipment support, is a policy that is being implemented by giving orders to the adventurer’s guild directly from the Duke’s family.
“Education inside the manor is really smooth, but… The really important thing hasn’t been properly resolved yet.”
“If it’s important…”
“It’s a hands-on experience.”
“Ah…”
Erin realized what Trisha was asking for, and she let out a small sigh.
“I’d like to entrust the newbie party’s training to Erin as an example. Can I accept it?”
