438.
Arron looked at Chelsea, who was gazing up at him with sparkling eyes, with a tense expression.
“It’s truly an honor to meet you! To be able to meet a Great Hero in person like this! It feels like a dream!”
“Uh, yeah. I’m, I’m glad to meet you too.”
“Huh?!”
“Why, why?”
Arron was flustered as he watched Chelsea gasp and open her mouth wide.
“Leo! Arron said he’s glad to meet me!”
Arron scratched his cheek as he watched Chelsea cover both her cheeks, not knowing what to do with herself.
“Are you that happy to meet me?”
“Of course! You’re the Great Hero who saved this world! I’m truly grateful! For saving the world!”
Arron’s eyes widened at her pure, clear smile.
Chelsea looked slightly flustered as she watched Arron staring intently at her face.
Seeing Chelsea like that, Arron smiled.
“Yeah.”
Arron reached out his hand and patted Chelsea’s head.
Chelsea’s eyes went round.
“Thank you for saying that.”
Chelsea, who had been looking up at Arron’s faint smile, soon beamed with joy.
“Arron! Me too! Please pat my head too!”
“Alright, alright.”
When Arga suddenly stuck her head forward, Arron laughed and patted her head.
Watching this scene, Cal said,
“Hey, Chelsea. I’m just saying this out of concern, but the fact that Instructor Akan is Arron…”
“I know too. That I shouldn’t tell other people about it. Who do you think I am, an idiot?”
Chelsea snorted with a slightly coy voice.
“By the way, there’s something I’m curious about.”
Then Runia made a thoughtful expression.
“How exactly did you manifest in the present world, Arron?”
“Through something called the Hero Record.”
“Just like how Luna and Seirun manifested in the present world?”
When Arron nodded, Driana crossed her arms.
“Then there’s another question. Why do you remember Leo and Ar, but not us?”
“I’m not really sure about that.”
Arron shook his head.
Runia, who had been thinking, raised her index finger and said,
“Maybe the reason you only remember Leo and Ar is because they’re the only ones who entered your world?”
“That does sound plausible.”
Cal stroked his chin.
“I think that’s probably it. We met you in Dweno’s world. When Luna manifested in Seirun, she definitely remembered me.”
Runia said, recalling Luna’s appearance when she defeated Jerdiak in Seirun.
Watching Runia like that, Arron was impressed.
“You’re smart. You were just like Luna.”
“Not really.”
“Even your personality seems exactly the same!”
“That’s quite an honor.”
Runia made a shy expression at Arron’s words.
Hearing this, Arga shouted,
“Arron! You mustn’t be deceived!” You’re being fooled right now.”
“Huh? By what?”
“This cunning elf is putting on an act right now. You mustn’t be fooled by this appearance.”
When Driana spoke seriously with her arms crossed, Arga nodded enthusiastically.
“That’s right. Arron! I think comparing the benevolent Luna to this violent elf is an insult to Luna!”
“You little…!”
Runia’s eyes flashed with anger as she grabbed Ar and Driana’s necks with both arms.
Of course, since the two of them surpassed Runia in physical abilities, they didn’t stop talking.
“She’s definitely no different from a thug… Gah!”
Cal, who had been giggling and teasing, was kicked in the stomach and collapsed.
“Comparing Miss Runia to Luna is indeed a bit…”
“Eiran! Even you!”
Just as Runia’s eyes were getting more and more menacing,
Arron burst into laughter watching the scene.
“Yeah. Seeing that, I’m certain now. Even your personality is exactly the same.”
“What?”
“Huh?”
“What do you mean?”
Everyone stared at Arron with dumbfounded faces.
“What kind of person is the Luna you know?”
“Well, she’s benevolent and broad-minded… a gentle goddess-like person, right?”
When Eiran answered with a shocked face, Arron tilted his head.
“Luna isn’t benevolent, nor is she particularly broad-minded. And gentle? Goddess?”
Arron’s face changed strangely at the adjectives that didn’t suit Luna at all, and by the end, he was slightly frowning.
“No, no way! That can’t be!”
Runia grabbed her head and denied reality at this shocking truth.
“Hey, Leo. You’ve met Luna with Runia in the Heroes’ World, right? What was she like?”
At Cal’s question, Leo thought for a moment before answering.
“An immature tomboy?”
“You! Don’t insult Luna!”
“You saw her too, didn’t you?”
“That was when Luna was young and innocent! There’s no way Luna has a similar personality to mine! No way she has a personality like mine!”
Leo looked pitifully at Runia, who was screaming and denying reality.
“You know your own bad personality well!”
“Yeah. As expected of Seirun’s representative. You seem to know yourself well.”
Chelsea nodded in agreement with Cal’s admiration.
“You little…!”
When Runia’s eyes flashed with anger and she rushed forward, Chelsea quickly used Cal as a shield.
“Hey! What are you doing! Chelsea!”
“Friend shield.”
“Hey! Hey? Ahhhhh?!”
Cal’s screams echoed through the air.
Leo made a satisfied expression at the credible testimony from the Great Hero’s mouth.
‘It won’t be long before Luna’s true nature is exposed.’
***
“Wow! To think I was receiving teachings from a Hero!”
Chelsea still looked excited as if her heart was trembling.
“Heh! To genuinely rejoice at receiving Arron’s teachings. You’re a mage, but we can communicate, Chelsea. Who’s your favorite Great Hero?”
When Arga made a proud expression, Chelsea answered without hesitation.
“Hero of the Beginning, Kail. Next time I should ask Arron about Kail!”
At Chelsea’s answer, Arga made a dejected expression.
“But it’s shocking that Luna had such a personality.”
“That’s right, since those words came from the Great Hero’s own mouth… it means she has a personality as twisted as Runia’s, doesn’t it?”
At Chelsea’s words, Cal stroked his chin.
While he was wary of Runia attacking him, Runia was still unable to recover from the shock.
Previously, in Dweno’s world, they couldn’t ask detailed questions about the Great Hero for fear of affecting the strategy.
‘So I was maintaining some kind of fantasy, but it was shattered today.’
While Leo clicked his tongue.
Driana asked Eiran.
“By the way, Eiran, you don’t seem particularly shocked.”
“Huh? About what?”
“About Luna’s personality being similar to Runia’s.”
“Runia certainly has aggressive aspects, but she’s still a very righteous elf, isn’t she?”
Eiran smiled brightly.
“Besides, didn’t Arron say so? That Luna was truly full of curiosity and always sincere about magic. I can imagine what kind of person she was. She must have been… a wonderful person who was confident in everything and always dignified.”
At Eiran’s words, Runia’s ears twitched.
“Right, since she had a personality like mine at the very least, she would have beaten up all the bad guys. Yeah.”
Runia began to think positively and started to cheer up.
Watching her, Leo recalled Luna, who would become arrogant and full of herself when praised, but would endlessly dig herself into the ground when things didn’t go well.
Recalling old memories, Leo said.
“Go ahead first. I’ll follow shortly.”
Watching Leo enter the thicket, Eiran approached.
“Shall I come with you?”
“It would be a bit troublesome for me if you followed?”
“Huh? What do you… Ah! S-sorry!”
Eiran, who had been making a puzzled expression, turned bright red and hurriedly backed away.
Having pondered Leo’s ambiguous answer by herself, Eiran let out a “Hau!” groan and covered her face.
When Leo entered, Dragon En, who looked exactly like Leo, bowed her head from atop a tree.
“Welcome, Leo.”
“Please.”
“Understood.”
En, who took Leo’s place, emerged from the thicket.
“Huh? You came back quickly?”
“I just saw something wrong for a moment.”
When Cal asked with a puzzled face, En, who looked like Leo, shrugged and answered.
Leo, having left En as his substitute, immediately returned to Arron.
Arron was already looking at the night sky filled with sunset glow and starlight.
-He really likes the night sky.
Kirran, who had revealed himself, crossed his arms and muttered.
“That’s right. He doesn’t seem to get tired of it.”
Fiora, who had taken human form, also crunched on candy as if finding it fascinating.
-Are you going to become a pig again?
Kirran teased, but Fiora didn’t care.
-You all wouldn’t understand.
Then Elsi spoke.
-For someone born in the age of calamity, the beauty of this night sky is… beyond imagination.
Elsi smiled gently.
Leo approached Arron and said.
“Did you have a nightmare or something? Why did you suddenly transform earlier?”
“I don’t know either. I think there was a strange smell. Did something happen while I was sleeping?”
“There was an earthquake.”
“Was that the reason?”
While tilting his head, Arron said.
“That girl Chelsea. She resembled the younger ones from the orphanage.”
“Chelsea still has innocent aspects.”
Although there was only a one-year age difference, she was more naive compared to other students.
Yet she also had sharp aspects.
“So? Did you suddenly think that you did well saving the world?”
“Yeah. I realized that my wish had come true.”
Arron smiled brightly.
Chelsea didn’t know it herself, but the greeting she conveyed had saved Arron.
“So now I want to find it.”
Having come to the future and seen what he wanted, Arron found another goal.
“Kail, what you told me about wanting to do something for me.”
“Yeah.”
“How much time do I have left?”
“…”
At Arron’s question, Leo fell silent.
‘When Luna came from the Heroes’ World to the present world, she couldn’t stay long.’
Unlike Luna, Arron had been staying in this era for a long time.
The reason was simple.
‘Luna had used enormous magical power to defeat Jerdiak and Silatuna.’
Therefore, the consumption of divine power that constituted Luna’s body was also tremendous.
Unlike Luna, Arron was hardly using his aura.
That’s why the consumption of divine power was slower.
‘If he participates in combat even once… Arron would disappear too.’
“Enjoy this peace as much as you can.”
“Yeah.”
Arron nodded with a smile.
“Ah! There’s something I want to do.”
Arron stood up and smiled brightly.
“You said Silorod is still alive, right? I want to meet Silorod!”

***
Opening a warp to Fairy Land through Mellina wasn’t difficult.
-Welcome, Leo Flobe. The King has been waiting for your visit.
Although Fairy Land was a place where outsiders couldn’t freely enter, Leo and Arron received a great welcome.
Following the fairy’s guidance, Leo headed to the Fairy King’s residence.
-It’s too bad Kirran couldn’t come. It’s his homeland after all.
Elsi, who had climbed onto Leo’s shoulder, muttered.
“What can we do? He’s an exile.”
Kirran was depressed about not being able to return to his homeland.
“It’s karma.”
-Wow! Fiora! You’re good with difficult words now!
“Ahem!”
Fiora, who had been staying next to Leo, put her hand on her waist and lifted her chin.
Eventually, only Silorod was in the Fairy King’s residence.
-It’s really… you, Arron.
“Have you been well? You’re still a crybaby.”
-Says Arron, who’s still a coward.
Silorod, who had flown in front of Arron, wiped away tears.
Arron, who had been smiling gently while watching Silorod, suddenly made a puzzled expression.
When Leo made a puzzled expression, Arron spoke.
“No, it’s because Silorod has a strange smell coming from him.”
Watching Arron slightly furrow his brow, Silorod said.
-Ah. It’s probably because of that.
“That?”
-Yes.
Silorod nodded heavily.
-A fragment of Erebos.
