chapter 27
27. Leaks of Heaven
***
─Beep, ki-ing… !
Black Tiger, a high-ranking monster, felt that he couldn’t even move his body and began to whimper. No matter how hard he tried, his body wouldn’t move. Considering that I usually dragged the corpses of monsters several times my own weight, this was impossible.
Approaching the black tiger whose body was immobilized, Rainia casually drew her sword and stabbed the black tiger in the vital point.
“Hmm…… Is it this much?”
Lainia, who had nine tails fluttering, squeezed her hand as if she had roughly grasped her.
After taking the elixir in the Archmage’s Dungeon, Rania took her new powers into her hands. That was not an ability she could have acquired due to her training or learning.
Just like a newborn fawn walks on all fours, and a baby bird that falls off a cliff can fly without learning anything – an ability she realized just because she had a tail.
Witchcraft.
It was the fox tribe’s special ability to charm and manipulate the other person.
“Awesome! Lainia, at this level, you don’t need any more avant-gardes, right?”
“Yes. Good job not taking her leader away.”
“…… It’s not that great yet. Do you feel you need a little more training?”
Blushing with embarrassment, Lainia displayed her humility. However, it is true that her skills have greatly improved since she awakened the potential of her vixen.
Perhaps, if we were to judge her alone, she could reach even the highest level of adventurers. And if so, she could be said to be one step closer to Evan… ….
“…… Continue hunting I’m going to deal with both of them at the same time this time, isn’t it okay?”
“Of course!”
“If I do something, I will leave the leader alone and run away.”
“No, I will fight with you until the end… ….”

Since going to church, Evan has grown up a bit. He succeeded in mastering a concept that cannot be described with the word responsibility to some extent.
And that sense of responsibility soon appeared as a sense of distance from others. He’s like most little kids who think they’ve grown up.
“Oh ho ho ho-! I heard a rumor that the swordsman is here! Sword Master! Are you here!”
“I am.”
“Sword Saint! We give you a special opportunity to become the owner of our Montblanc Merchant! Come marry me!”
Evan looked at the woman who immediately handed over the confession. A woman with curly blonde hair. Her flesh has also come up voluptuous, and her appearance is not lacking.
If the old Evan had received this confession, she would have hesitated and hesitated, but then she would have accepted her confession with a meek nod.
She wasn’t like that now that she’s grown up.
“Sorry. I don’t have that kind of mind yet.”
“Did you mean that I was lacking!?”
“No, you are beautiful enough. But…… Because I don’t feel sincere with you right now.”
Rather than the woman in front of her truly loving herself, she just had a sense of duty and responsibility to further revitalize her top, and she had a strong idea that she was going to marry her.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t lead with the person she was going to marry with such a sense of responsibility. Because I’m an adult. We shouldn’t let other people get married out of responsibilities.
Evan, who sniffed hot milk and refused to confess, took the coolest pose he thought of and fell in love with himself.
Evelyn Montblanc, the merchant who confessed to Evan, blushed at the sight and quickly spread her fan to cover her mouth.
“Oh, I will never forget today! I will definitely make you regret it!”
Even after Evelyn disappeared, who left the words to see you, Evan, who was sipping hot milk while holding her face, stuck out her tongue and swallowed her saliva.
“Bitter- it’s hot…….”
She took a quick breath and scalded her tongue. Evan immediately asked for ice water from the waitress, and he cooled his tongue with the ice the waitress brought to him.
Rebecca, who brought ice water to Evan, filled her mouth with ice and looked at her puffy cheeks, burst into laughter.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m sorry.”
“So why did you overdo it… ….”
Evan’s tongue cooled in silence. Rebecca, who was looking at Evan affectionately as if she were looking at her younger brother, carefully sat down next to him and opened her mouth.
“Evan, why did he refuse earlier?”
“Where are you going?”
“The mistress of the Mont Blanc Merchant. If Evan-sama had been with him, he would be able to take over this world.”
“…… Rebecca, did you get paid from him?”
“Yes? No no! Guild staff…… I’m just giving you the facts as they are. The top of Mont Blanc is very famous there.”
A caravan run by mistress Evelyn Montblanc. A gigantic organization that extends beyond the kingdom to the world.
According to the rumors that the Mont Blanc merchants submitted hundreds of millions of elsos a year, it was impossible to imagine what they could do if they obtained a strategic weapon called Evan.
“If Evan were to belong there, he would surely be able to become a giant dinosaur company that goes beyond the country and encompasses the whole world… ….”
“Should I run right now and beg him to accept it?”
“That’s not too bad, is it?”
“I was joking.”
Evan, chewing on ice and smiling, looked at Rebecca and asked.
“Rebecca. I am a special person. Do you know?”
“Of course Evan is a special person… ….”
“I only knew through words. It wasn’t long before I realized it myself.”
It wasn’t long ago that he realized that he was incomparable to ordinary people, when he stopped by a dungeon with a white wolf.
All the other party members who entered the dungeon prepared wills, but he didn’t even think about dying.
And the other party members didn’t particularly think about it. It means he thought that if he was himself, he would of course survive.
“I am different from others. If you set your mind to it, you can earn the money that other people want to earn in an instant, and you can say or do things that other people cannot do because they are afraid of repercussions.”
And that.
“Because I am the swordsman.”
Because he is a superman who is superior to others.
A superman doesn’t care about the criminal’s gaze. Just like how a goblin can’t be on the same level as a dragon just by saving some money.
I don’t cling to the top just because it makes some money.
“Well—to put it simply, it’s like this. There is a place to replace the top, but I have no one to replace. Degree?”
However, like a normal person, Rebecca did not understand most of what Evan meant or intended.
But at the same time, like a normal person, he showed off his skill to laugh at me even though he didn’t understand.
“Wonderful.”
Evan took another sip of milk.
Then she burned her tongue again.

Once upon a time, people believed that they could predict the future by reading the energy of the sky.
Kiara, a member of the Nine Lives and the head of the Gyeonggi Border Ministry, was a person who believed in that old belief the most.
“—Something has changed.”
The sky is moving. As if something intervened and pushed away the clouds, in an improbable way and direction.
Kiara, who read the heavenly spirit that had moved, slightly frowned. It is because they realized that the heavenly spirit was not very good for them in the future.
“Why?”
Only a few people could move the sky. Superhumans who broke through the limits with their own talents and efforts.
Sword masters, archmages, psychics and enlightened monks were just that.
And, of course, I have never hated them. I was really trying not to buy it.
“Someone’s prank…… Or is it an unknown cause?”
Of course, reading the heavenly gi and knowing the future didn’t mean you could control everything. Superhumans weren’t such controllable beings.
There are also superhumans who get angry for no reason because they dared to control themselves. If you think about that case, what happened to them now was close to just ‘unlucky’.
“I’ll have to be prepared to take it out if I have to.”
“—Go, Family Head! It’s a big deal!”
“…… What’s going on?”
Kiara, frowning upon seeing the member entering without permission, brushed off the sweaty member.
The organization member, who was gasping for breath, handed over the magic crystal he had brought. Upon receiving the crystal, Kiara tilted her head at something, then played the crystal.
“—This.”
“A while ago. It was sent by an organization member who had been to the city.”
“Which city was that?”
“It is a city of adventurers.”
“Is that so?”
Kwajik-!
Crushing the crystal, Kiara looked at the gang members with burning eyes.
“Please bring me. Somehow.”
In the shattered crystal, there was a picture of Lainia wagging her nine tails.
