I Became the Only Buffer in the Academy

207 – To deal with the apocalypse – 3

I ate and drank my fill. That alone couldn’t relieve the fatigue accumulated through conquering the ruins, but Serenia seems to have been relieved.

“Hehehehe~! Hey! Let’s go to karaoke!!”

It sounds like karaoke.

I can’t even stand properly. Hyejeong smiled bitterly when she saw her stumbling drunk and collapsing on the floor.

“Sister Serenia will have to sleep at my house today.”

“I guess so. I’m sorry about this.”

“Hehehe. No. Then the others…”

“I guess I’ll have to go home and sleep today, too. Are you going to return to the academy?”

We also drank alcohol, but not to the extent of Serenia. I nodded as I looked at her, humming the hymn with her curled tongue.

“I guess I should avoid the cathedral.”

If you stop by the cathedral and ask where Serenia is, you won’t have anything to say.

Let’s hope Bishop Peter hasn’t contacted us.

“Then let’s go!”

When Elizabeth got up from her seat, Jin Si-yeon and Yoo Cho-ah also got up immediately. Cheon Soo-ho says he’s going home on foot from here, so let’s say goodbye. Well, I say I’m going, but my girlfriend is here so I won’t go right away.

“I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Okay. Hey. If there are any ruins that could yield elixirs, could you help me find them? You seem to be good at finding ruins.”

“okay.”

Cheon Soo-ho has received a lot of help in one way or another, so I should help him.

I met Azazel, and my aptitude changed to enhanced, so my buffs will grow even more. Then, it is not impossible to go to a ruin that is one or two levels higher, so you can try a ruin that can yield elixir.

You won’t have to worry about being beaten like before.

“I only trust myself.”

We headed to the gate as our trusty tanker greeted us with a smile. Perhaps because the night breeze on Jeju Island was cool, walking felt quite good.

“Hehehe~! Hehehe~! Oh~! It’s a convenience store! Shall we go get some ice cream?!”

“I’ll get it.”

“Let’s go together~!”

Jin Si-yeon and Yoo Cho-ah head to the convenience store. Naturally, Elizabeth and I were left alone. It just worked out well.

“Elizabeth.”

“Huh?! Hohohohohoho! Why?! Do you really want to hold hands?! Ohhohohohoho! You can do that much! Of course, you can do more!”

That’s not true. But I couldn’t refuse the outstretched hand, so I took it and looked straight at her and said,

“There was a record like this in the records.”

“what?”

“Using angel feathers to defeat the power of the devil.”

“…yes?”

She tilted her head as if she didn’t understand. But that only lasts for a moment. Elizabeth’s eyes were getting bigger and bigger.

“Of course, it is not certain. This may or may not work. But as Bishop Peter said, angel feathers contain divine power that is purer than that of any priest. If you use this…”

“Uh, your mother…”

“Yeah, that could happen. So… can I try this?”

Elizabeth opened her mouth and said nothing. As I faced her, I shook the angel feather in my pocket.

“B-But aren’t those… ears precious?

“That’s why I asked for two in the first place.”

Of course, as you receive two, the energy cores you have to give to Azazel will be doubled.

It’s okay because you just need to collect cores.

Wouldn’t you be able to do this much for Elizabeth?

Elizabeth’s eyes, looking at me blankly, begin to get increasingly wet. She looked like she was going to shed tears at any moment, so she slowly raised her hand and wiped her eyes.

“Yes…!! I want to try it!”

“Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that it won’t happen…”

“…But even so, it’s true that you gave it for me, my mother, my grandfather, and the Taylor family!!”

“Of course.”

“Then it’s okay. Even if I fail, I won’t be disappointed…!!”

I was satisfied with Elizabeth’s firm answer. I say I won’t be disappointed, but I will be disappointed if it doesn’t work out.

I don’t want her to get hurt.

Because what I want is not to see her sad and crying.

“Then let’s go right away.”

“Huh? Where are you going?”

Two people coming out of a convenience store handed us an ice cream each. I took it and put it in my mouth, took a big bite and spoke.

“I want to go to England.”

“Oh. No way, that’s it.”

“Yeah. That.”

There was no need for any special explanation, perhaps because it had been told to Yoo Cho-ah and Jin Si-yeon in advance. Elizabeth looked at the two in turn and slightly puffed out her cheeks.

“Why didn’t you just tell me?!”

“I didn’t know if it would work or not, and I thought it would take time to get it. I was afraid that you would have a hard time because of unnecessary expectations.”

“Is that so? Ohhohohohoho!! I’m so thankful that you thought of me!”

“Nothing much to say. Then let’s go.”

I walked while chewing ice cream, and the three followed right behind me. We arrived at the gate and changed our destination to England, so we headed straight to England.

“Whoa… I’m nervous.”

Yoo Cho-ah, who followed Elizabeth and me to England, wiped her sweat and spoke softly.

I was the one who had to do it, and the person involved was Elizabeth, but it seemed quite tense to watch from the side.

Jin Si-yeon was walking with her arms crossed, but her expression was tense and she seemed quite nervous.

He seems to be thinking about how to comfort Elizabeth if he fails.

Even though they fight often, they are still close.

Childhood friends definitely cannot be ignored.

“Ah!! Miss!! Are you here?!”

“Ohhoho!! Yes!! I can go inside, right?!”

Perhaps because I, Yoo Cho-ah, and Jin Si-yeon had already received permission once, the heroes of the Taylor family did not stop us. Therefore, we were able to go inside without any inspection.

“Hmm?! What’s going on with you guys!!”

Old man Bruce was inside. He looked sadly at Jeong Soo-yeon through the window and burst into laughter when he saw Elizabeth and us.

“Hahahaha!!! I heard you went to the ruins the association mentioned. Are you finished?!”

“yes!!”

“That’s a good thing! So? Have you met Azazel?”

“Yes. We met.”

“oooh!! That’s great! You must have gained something, right?”

“Haha. I’ll show you later. Rather… can I come inside for a moment?”

Old Man Breath seemed to think for a moment and then nodded.

It seems like I am also trusted by the Taylor family.

As I entered through the open door, I saw a fair-skinned woman with her eyes closed. Maybe it was because the curse had been lifted to some extent by the devil’s heart, but unlike before, it just looked like it was asleep.

As I looked at her, I put my hands in my pockets.

Kuuk.

When I took out the angel feather, Elizabeth came next to me and held my arm tightly. tension. And anticipation. The fear of what might happen.

I handed over the angel feather to her as she looked at her mother with complex emotions.

“Huh?! Why are you giving this to me…?”

“Because all you have to do is put it on your head. I thought it would be better for you to do it than for me.”

Elizabeth’s eyes are shaking. She was staring at the angel feather in her hand.

This trembling may be proof of her anxiety. That’s why I held her other hand tightly.

“Do you trust me?”

“…yes!!”

Elizabeth immediately nodded and held up the angel feather. She slowly brought it to her mother, Jeong Soo-yeon, and muttered in a trembling voice.

“mother…”

“……”

“mom…”

At this moment, no hero has reached the high level of Class A.

There is just a weak daughter trying to wake up her mother who has been sleeping for a long time.

-Wooow…!!

With a low vibration sound, the light contained in the angel’s feather seeps into Jeong Soo-yeon.

When the light completely disappeared, the feathers on her head had disappeared without a trace.

– gulp.

Elizabeth looked at Jeong Soo-yeon, very nervous. How long did I wait like that?

-beep! beep! beep! beep! beep! beep!

The device connected to Jeong Soo-yeon moves. As the device, which had not even moved until now, began to make noise, the door suddenly opened.

“what!!”

“Um, what is that?”

“It means that physical activity levels are rising. That means…”

It means that you are waking up. When even the old owl came inside in surprise, the sound from the device gradually became faster. and.

-Bleep!!

With one high-pitched electronic sound, the sound of the device completely stopped.

Everyone was nervous after seeing that.

“…Mmmmm~!”

A person who was not even moving moves.

Elizabeth was unable to say anything as she seemed to wake up in a good mood. All I do is cover my mouth tightly and shed tears.

“Uh…huh? This place…? I definitely went to the dungeon… huh? Huh?!”

The nice-looking woman looked around.

She looked confused as if she didn’t understand the current situation, looked at her clothes and old man Breath, and then slowly looked away.

Elizabeth is now a fully grown adult. A lot had changed from the Elizabeth Jeong Soo-yeon knew.

“…Ellie?”

“Ahh… Ahhh!! Uh, Mom! Mom!!”

It is said that parents can recognize their children no matter how they change.

That’s why Jeong Soo-yeon recognized Elizabeth right away and stretched out her hand.

“Our Ellie… you’ve grown up a lot, huh? Hehehe. I guess you’re an adult now?”

She hugged Elizabeth with a gentle voice and patted her crying daughter.

okay.

It’s that expression.

Even if she cried, I wanted to see her cry with a happy expression like that. I am.
