344

Tap- Tap- Tap-

Leo tapped the desk with his fingertips.

‘I see. There was a reason why Silorod couldn’t move from Fairy Land until now.’

A fragment of Erebos sealed by Kail, the Hero of the Beginning.

The endlessly burning flames of calamity.

-Kail, not long after you ended the Age of Calamity. I discovered one of Erebos’s fragments.

Silorod spoke with a deep sigh.

-I was the only one in this world who knew of that Erebos fragment’s existence.

Silorod couldn’t have left the Erebos fragment alone.

If Tartaros were to discover that fragment, this world would surely be swept up in the flames of calamity once again.

-I moved Fairy Land to establish a new foundation. I sealed the Erebos fragment deep underground in Fairy Land and have been suppressing it so it won’t awaken.

That’s how he had endured for 5000 years.

“Are there any signs of that fragment awakening?”

-Not right now.

Leo nodded at Silorod’s words.

At least that was fortunate.

‘Though the fact remains that it’s a bomb that could explode at any time.’

Leo narrowed his eyes.

5000 years ago, during the final battle, sealing Erebos was the best option for Kail.

‘Now it’s possible to find and destroy those divided fragments one by one.’

The first was the Erebos that the Heroes of the Cataclysm were holding back.

“Someday we’ll be able to completely destroy Erebos and achieve peace. The world they wanted will come.”

Leo looked at Silorod.

“It must have been hard carrying this burden alone for 5000 years… Thank you.”

Progenitor of the Starry Skies, Luna’s pact maker.

But at that time, he was just a young fairy.

Leo could imagine how mentally difficult these 5000 years must have been for this kind-hearted little fairy.

Having directly faced Erebos before.

That fear must have been even greater.

Silorod responded to Leo’s words.

-Kail, I… still regret letting Luna go alone 5000 years ago.

“It wasn’t your fault.”

-Yes. But if I had been a little braver. If inexperienced me had stepped forward instead of Luna… I’ve lived thinking that maybe Luna could have survived.

“…”

-In the end, I was the only survivor among those who set out to subjugate Erebos. So it was my duty and naturally something I had to do.

Silorod spoke seriously.

-I’d prefer if you didn’t say thank you. You’re someone who should receive gratitude, not give it, aren’t you?

Silorod smiled brightly.

“Because you’re the great hero who saved the world.”

“…5000 years really is a long time.”

Leo rested his chin on his hand.

“To think that little fairy would become this mature.”

“After being king for about 5000 years, you develop presence.”

Leo responded to Silorod’s words.

“Right, you’ve become strict enough to boldly kick out your troublemaker son.”

“Troublemaker son?”

Looking at Silorod’s puzzled expression, Leo reached his hand into the air.

A summoning circle opened.

Normally Kirran would have come over immediately when the summoning circle opened, but not this time.

Leo forcibly stuck his hand into the summoning circle and grabbed onto something.

Grab-!

‘A cotton ball?’

When Leo pulled it out, a red chick popped out.

-Peep.

Leo placed Fiora on the desk and then stuck his hand into the summoning circle again.

Grab-!

“Ah, master’s rough touch~”

A voice that seemed somehow delighted.

Leo roughly pulled Ati out of the summoning circle and threw her on the floor.

Just as irritation appeared on Leo’s face.

-Let go! Let go of this!

-Where in the world is there a spirit beast that refuses its pact maker’s summons?

With a tongue-clicking voice, Elsi came through the summoning circle, having bound Kirran tightly with shadows.

-Miss Elsi?

Silorod looked at Elsi with surprised eyes.

Elsi looked at Silorod and politely greeted him by slightly lifting the hem of her skirt.

-Nice to meet you, Your Majesty the Fairy King. I’m Elsi, a shadow spirit.

-My goodness, how is Miss Elsi in the present world?

Looking at Silorod who flew toward her with a surprised face, Elsi tilted her head and smiled brightly.

-Ah, you know another me?

-Another you?

Confused, Silorod examined Elsi carefully once more.

She was definitely the shadow spirit Elsi who had made a contract with Kail 5000 years ago.

The spirit who had perished in the battle against the Overlord King.

But there was a difference.

The Elsi that Silorod remembered had an overall dark atmosphere.

She had doubts about the journey to save the world and emanated a gloomy atmosphere that was hard to approach.

But the Elsi before his eyes was different.

-I came to the present world through Hero Record.

-Hero Record?

-Yes, I was Leo’s conquest reward.

Silorod showed a surprised expression.

To think it was possible to bring past figures existing in Hero Record to the present world.

-Indeed, befitting the final legacy left by the gods.

Silorod, who remembered the era when gods lived, exclaimed in admiration and understanding.

And he glanced at Kirran who had been subdued by Elsi.

Kirran hastily averted his gaze.

-I didn’t know you had become Kail’s contractor, Kirran.

Looking at Silorod displaying the dignity of the Fairy King, Elsi released Kirran.

Thud-!

Kirran hurriedly approached Silorod and knelt down.

And he said.

-Father, have you been well? This Kirran. Seeing father’s noble countenance after so long, I don’t know what to do with myself.

Watching Kirran prostrate himself while even performing a deep bow, Leo rested his chin on his hand.

-In that sense, father. I’m truly reflecting deeply!

Kirran clenched his fists and shouted.

-I don’t even play pranks anymore! Every single day I help Leo and dedicate myself to the world’s future.

-…He’s lying without even wetting his lips.

Elsi whispered quietly into Leo’s ear.

Leo burst into a hollow laugh.

-Really?

-Yes! I also helped defeat the Monster Queen!

Silorod looked at Leo while watching Kirran shout proudly.

“Well, it’s true that he accomplished great feats while being with me.”

Kirran smiled innocently at Leo’s words.

-Cheep!

Watching such Kirran, Fiora pretended to vomit in her chick form.

-You’re unexpectedly helping Kirran obediently.

Elsi tilted her head.

Leo spoke calmly to that.

“Even if it’s not me, there are plenty of others who would tattle.”

-Peep. Peep.

Fiora waddled in front of Leo and peeped at Elsi.

Fiora was curious about this situation where that troublemaker fairy was pretending to be good in front of Silorod.

Elsi answered to Fiora’s reaction.

-Right now Kirran is begging the Fairy King for forgiveness, saying he reformed and lived virtuously.

Fiora’s eyes sparkled and she rushed in front of Silorod as if rolling.

-Squawk! Squawk! Squawk! Squawk! Squawk!

And she flapped her small wings frantically while crying loudly to convey something to Silorod.

Kirran’s face trembled.

Silorod used magic to transform Fiora into human form.

Fiora greeted Silorod politely.

“I am Phoenix, Fiora. Elder. I wish to report on this fairy’s misdeeds.”

-Speak, young Phoenix.

“This wicked fairy’s day begins with stealing my snacks! And then he spends time thinking of ways to torment the diligent Hero Academy students of Lumern!”

Silorod’s face grew colder while Kirran’s face turned pale.

“Finally, he ends his day by stealing snacks from Lumern students late in the evening – he’s a vicious fairy!”

Fiora, who had tattled on every detail of Kirran’s day, looked relieved.

“And also…!”

“Yes, yes. That’s enough, Fiora.”

Ati put her hands under Fiora’s armpits, lifted her up, and carried her to one side of the room.

Fiora struggled to say more, but quieted down when Ati gave her a lollipop.

-It seems you still have a long way to go before maturing.

-Ah, Father…!

-I shall maintain the banishment order from Fairy Land.

Kirran was devastated.

Watching that scene, Elsi sighed.

-That’s why you should behave well normally.

Elsi left those sharp words and flew to Fiora who was eating candy.

-Fiora was bad too.

While Elsi was scolding the familiars.

Silorod flew in front of Leo.

-At least you won’t be bored.

“I won’t be bored.”

Leo chuckled lowly and said.

“You can’t stay away from Fairy Land for long, right?”

-Yes. I’d like to talk more, but… I’ll have to postpone that for later.

Leo nodded at Silorod’s words.

-Kail, I’m glad I could meet you again.

“Me too.”

-Do you have a goal in this life?

Silorod knows.

That Leo in his days as Kail didn’t have any particularly clear purpose.

Leo smiled at Silorod’s question.

“I don’t know how I was reincarnated and reborn. But there must be a reason.”

Leo looked at Silorod.

“Both you and I experienced the 5000-year Age of Calamity. Being reborn and seeing this age where peace was restored, I suddenly thought… that the journey I took just following Risinass without purpose… with friends… was never meaningless.”

-It was the greatest achievement in the world.

“So I’ve set a clear goal for this life.”

Leo looked at Fiora, Kirran, Ati, and Rea lying on the bed, then gazed at the scenery outside the window.

“I’ve decided to settle past grudges in this life by any means necessary.”

Leo smiled slightly.

“The fear of primordial evil… I’ve resolved not to leave it for future generations beyond this era. That’s my goal.”

***

The next morning.

Rea’s eyes snapped open.

‘This place… Huh?!’

Rea bolted upright.

And covered her cheeks with her hands, not knowing what to do.

‘I was summoning the Fairy King and collapsed from mana depletion… I slept in Flobe Sunbaenim’s room?!’

Rea got off the bed, flustered.

Then she paused when she saw Leo sleeping in a chair by the window.

“Fl, Flobe Sunbaenim… Well.”

“You’re awake?”

Leo opened one eye, got up from his seat, and stretched.

“Sorry for making you overexert yourself.”

“Oh, no. I’m the one who embarrassingly fainted…”

Leo spoke while watching Rea scratch her head with an awkward smile.

“I tried to wake you but you wouldn’t get up, so I let you sleep here. I didn’t know where your room was. Nothing happened, so don’t worry.”

“Yes!”

Rea answered crisply.

Still, sleeping in a man’s room made her feel strangely excited.

‘Whoa! This is a serious violation of school rules!’

Looking at the scenery to estimate the time, it was still dawn with time left before wake-up call.

“I should hurry back.”

“Ah, it would be better if you don’t go now…”

Before Leo could finish speaking, Rea rushed out of Leo’s room without even putting on her socks.

Click- Creak-

When Rea carefully left the room and was about to return to the dormitory.

“Rea?”

She turned around at the voice from behind.

And Rea panicked seeing the girl whose eyes met hers.

“I… Well… This is…”

There stood Eclaire, 3rd place in first year, class representative and close friend, gaping.

“Rea… You… stayed out overnight? In a male student’s room?”

“Well… Come here first! I’ll explain!”

Rea grabbed Eclaire’s wrist and hurriedly returned to the room.

Creak-

Leo opened the door and shook his head.

“I told you not to come out.”

Leo clicked his tongue and turned his head slightly.

“Are you going to keep hiding there?”

At those words, he could sense flustered movement, and then Angr poked his head out from the end of the corridor.

“You… You… What’s your relationship with Lea Tingel?”

Leo made an indifferent expression as he looked at Angr asking with a reddened face.

“We were just talking about summoning studies, that’s all?”

Angr smiled awkwardly as he watched Leo speak in an extremely calm manner.

“Th, that’s right, isn’t it?”

“What kind of imagination are you having? Why are all the elves so shameless these days?”

“I, I’m not shameless!”

Angr shouted indignantly.
