The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 55



EP.55 – 54. Master met God

People are really simple. No matter how difficult the moments were, after time passes, I get hungry, and when I eat rice, I get strength, and when I get strength, I do something, and I live in my daily life again as if it was like that. In that sense, humans are truly simple.

Tung… . Tung… . Tung… .

Dragon Alea, who used to run around bravely, was weak these days. Come to think of it, it was natural in a way. For that child, parting would be the first time he had experienced it. Unlike me, who gets used to it as soon as he gets used to it and gets better on its own as time passes, for that child, he probably can’t escape easily.

‘This is why getting older isn’t always a good thing.’

that child is innocent

Because the old self is nothing but the opposite of innocence.

‘The sky is pretty today too.’

These days, I keep looking up at the sky. Is it because the sky is beautiful? I was sure it must be like that. I didn’t have any doubts. Because there can be no other reason.

Tung, Tong, Tung

The dragon Alea showed strange movements and some strange reactions, but it felt like ‘don’t force it~~’… . I thought it was my mistake and ignored it.

It was at such a time.

A poorly dressed old man walked towards my shelter.

“… … .”

I watched it silently. What should I say… . I could see it with my own eyes, but I didn’t feel it was there. Even though it was clearly visible, it made me feel a strange sense of ‘does it really exist?’

pounding! pounding!

The heart beats urgently. No, more precisely, the energy of nature in my body is responding. It is as if they are attracted to something bigger and more fundamental.

It was a time when I was perplexed by such an unknown phenomenon.

container! container! container! container! Tong~!

“ostrich!”

The dragon, Allea, rushed to the old man without hesitation. When I panicked and tried to leave, the dragon Alea had already arrived right in front of the old man.

“Dragon eggs. Long time no see.”

container! container! container!

“Right. You must have been friends with that child.”

container! container! container!

“Heh heh, that lazy kid played with me. I can’t believe it.”

I eventually let my guard down and approached the old man. Even if I sincerely wanted to be hostile to him in the first place, I couldn’t. Because the heart itself had already accepted him. Do I have to say that I feel like family, even though I’m sure it’s the first person I’ve met? The absurd certainty that he couldn’t do me any harm had already settled in me.

“You also have a relationship with that child.”

“That child is… .”

“stellar”

“… … !”

“That’s the name I gave him.”

In that moment, I couldn’t help but realize.

The old man in front of me… .

not human

I mean, it’s God.

Wandering God Ulford

It is a god I have never heard of.

However, since the wandering god and the saintess acknowledged it, it would be clear that it was a trust that existed from the beginning, seeing that my apprentice Sera was almost confirmed as a hero. If it was a god that didn’t exist from the beginning, the temples wouldn’t be able to just watch it. Most of all, I had no reason to doubt the existence of the god of wandering because I had personally met Stella, the wandering saint, and felt her enormous divine power.

However, the wandering god came to visit me like this, although it was a completely unexpected situation that I could not have imagined.

Is God coming to your house? Who could have such an experience? In addition, in my case, it was not a house, but a retreat.

“Here is where the child lay.”

The wandering god kept his eyes on each trace left by Stella. It was as if the image of that child was pictured in my head just by looking at it that way.

‘You gave me a name… .’

I thought there would be a special relationship between a god and a saint, but… . It seemed like it was a much more special relationship than I thought.

“Thank you.”

“Yes?”

“Thanks to you, that child left smiling.”

“… Is that so?”

“Yes, that child’s smile was the brightest and most beautiful I’ve ever seen.”

… Glad then

Because I’ve seen too many faces who die while crying or with painful expressions on their faces. That’s why, unlike those expressions, if you say he died while smiling… . I felt a bit lucky.

To be honest, it’s best not to die, but even now, it would be best to lazily roll around somewhere under the same sky… . Because it was something I couldn’t get back no matter what I did.

It will be the same with God.

So it must be that the wandering god came here and is chasing the traces of the child like this.

“You will not regret it.”

“Yes?”

“You are not responsible for anything. It was I who led him to come here and talk to you. The responsibility for that lies with me. So there is no need for you to regret or feel responsible.”

“Are you comforting me?”

“I was just telling the truth. If there is someone in this world who should be most responsible, it cannot exist other than God.”

I never thought I would hear such words from the mouth of a god.

“Then, shouldn’t you continue to exist and fulfill your responsibilities?”

“Heh. Did you feel it?”

“Because I can feel it continuing to weaken.”

“For all beings in this world, the final moment is bound to come. Even if God can’t avoid it… . Rather, it is a natural result.”

The Wandering God smiled and said so.

The voice was infinitely light and danced like joy.

As if he had lived only for this moment.

Wandering, in the end, is the process of finding an ‘opportunity’… .

If you find an opportunity, it will end… .

It seems that it was the same even if it was the god of ‘wandering’.

“Is that child a trigger for you?”

“Yes, it was a very good opportunity… .”

The Wandering God smiled in satisfaction.

“I couldn’t understand why I was born. My origin was wandering… . I couldn’t feel any meaning or value there. Why were you born? Why does it exist? I kept looking for the answer, but… . Just like what you said to the child. The answer was inside me from the beginning. I was just looking for an opportunity. I’ve been looking for a very long time. And I finally found the trigger. Stella is a very precious opportunity for a child like a star.”

The wandering god is dyed with light.

Even without thinking, I knew the moment I saw it that it meant that his end was near.

“Isn’t it too much to use someone else’s house as a last resort?”

-I’m sorry. However, I wanted to make the place where the child spent happily as my last place. I’m sorry for bothering you. But I’m not doing it with my bare mouth, so can you take a look?

“Yes?”

At that moment, something flashed and a small lump of light was created. As it was, it went into the dragon Alea, which was next to me. Alea the dragon said ‘what is this?! What is this?!

“… What is that?”

-It’s a small gift. I added more presents to the ones he had already left for that dragon egg. That’s about it.

You are a saint of wandering, a god of wandering, and why do you arbitrarily give someone else’s child something you don’t even know what it is as a gift? If you’re going to give a gift, isn’t it a good attitude to give a gift by explaining what it is? If you give it without explanation, saying it’s a good gift, do you have to like it unconditionally?

There were a lot of things I wanted to argue with, but because of what I gave to the dragon Alea, the mass of light lost its momentum in an instant, and now it couldn’t even maintain its human form, so I couldn’t argue about it. In the first place, the two gods and saints I experienced were good people. It must have been a good thing

“Are you really going?”

-Yes, because the wandering is over… .

“Congratulations.”

– That’s right, it’s something to be celebrated. finally… . Because it can end… .

container! container! container!

At that time, the dragon Allea jumped urgently. It’s been a while since I lost my friend, but the existence I just met is disappearing right in front of my eyes. It seemed heartbreaking.

-It’s a little child… . don’t be sad… . I’m happier than ever… . I can finally leave in peace… .

“I’m sure he’ll be waiting too.”

When I spat those words out, only the light of fireflies remained.

-This time, by the child’s side… .

to say that last

The light has completely gone out.

“Suddenly, a god comes and the god suddenly disappears… . Aren’t I the first to have such a tremendous experience?”

It wasn’t very glorious, but it wasn’t terribly good either.

Thanks to

left me

It seemed that I would look more intently at the sky.

Oh yeah… .

Being a person left behind could not have been a very embarrassing role.
