Returners Guild Must Grow Properly

A piece of firewood splits in half in the air. I said as I grabbed a cup of steaming cocoa.

“You will be the only person in this world who can cut firewood with magic.”

It was cut in two without a single error. I wanted to split it like that if I could control how precisely my magic power was controlled.

"Is not it? Aren't I great?"

I hate seeing shrugged shoulders. I took a sip of the cocoa and said.

“It wasn’t a compliment.”

“… Rowoon is making the most of what he has, so it would be nice to give him some compliments.”

It looked like a dog that had been deprived of a snack, with a sullen face.

Harm slumps his shoulders sullenly. It was a scene that made me laugh out loud.

“Baby, you’re good.”

“Can’t you put a little soul into it, Mr. Houn?”

“Yeah, no.”

While making fun of Hae-Hyeon, the warm cocoa cooled down. I put my glass down, got up from my seat, and prepared to go out.

“Where are you going?”

“Bache.”

Hae-roon and I settled in a forest untouched by humans. A place where two people can live without being disturbed by anyone.

I said as I put my robe back on.

“You ran out of food.”

“I’ll come hunting.”

“I am tired of deer meat now. And you have to do your thing.”

At my words, the firewood or shards, the firewood that had been piled up on the harmful back was split in two at once.

"you… … .”

“Can we go together?”

I let out a sigh at the sound of a smirk and a smirk asked.

"Do whatever you feel like."

“Aww! Date!!"

“It’s not a date.”

Whether I'm annoyed or not, Hae-Hun quickly put on her coat and said.

“Let’s go, lady.”

With those words, the surrounding landscape changed in an instant. A 30-minute walk, Hae-roon moved very easily.

Harun says it changes my appearance.

“Because I am Houn’s eternal portal shuttle.”

At the laughter-mixed voice, I pushed Hae-roon's face slightly. Harun made a cry at him.

“Please don’t push me, Houn!”

"shut up."

That was then.

“Ahhhhhhh!!”

A sharp voice echoed through the square.

“Lambda! Lambda!! My child is not a saint! I mean no!!”

I hear a name I forgot for a moment

“You forsaken Gloria-sama’s grace and praised what was attached to the Demon King’s army with the word ‘nim’.”

The woman weeps at the voice mixed with ridicule. I'm sorry, I was wrong. She will die if she dies, so let the child go.

The child with her hair in her knight's hands was crying.

The only thing she resembles me is that she has black hair, but she seems to be being dragged around saying that the child is a 'saint'.

“Kill it. This girl is dragging me.”

The knight lifts her child up. Another knight drew her sword at the mother of her child.

"Mom! Mom!!"

“Lambda!!”

There were many people gathered in the square. But none of them tried to stop the knights.

She just bowed her head and stood there and passed the scene.

The knight who drew her sword cuts off the child's mother.

Blood soaking the square, the child began to scream at it.

Wish it was a dream, but it's a reality.

“Hood, take good care of yourself.”

Harm in front of me blocks the scenery spread out in the square. But the screams were still ringing in my ears.

“… After all, you did magic. so that no one will recognize me.”

"still."

Harun smiles softly.

“There is nothing wrong with being careful.”

The child's screams were no longer heard. It seems that the knight who lifted up her child passed out.

Instead, people began to murmur.

"You're going to catch a saint, and the man with her dark hair is grabbing her regardless of gender, right?"

“Only Lambda became pitiful.”

Those words must be heard even in the ears of the harmful ones.

But Hae-roon had a calm expression on her face as if she couldn't hear them. He looked at him and spoke his words.

“… You are so weird.”

"what?"

“Why don't you ask anything? You know I am a ‘saint’.”(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

“Before that, it was Dohaun.”

“Whether it’s a saint or Dohaun. They are the same person.”

"so?"

When I asked her, I bit her mouth.

“How about turning away?”

The face of Hae-roen who said that was painfully contorted.

“Yes, you have the power to save the mother and daughter. By the way?"

He said with a contorted face.

“Does she have to save everything just because she has power? And I have the power to save those mothers and daughters.”

A hand touched his shoulder. Hae-roon hugged me and whispered in my ear.

“We are ignoring together.”

cowardly.

There were no additional words, but it seemed to be heard.

As if it wasn't my fault for everything that happened, I asked involuntarily as he touched me like that.

“Shall I save you?”

“… … ?”

The woman, cut by her sword, was breathing hard on the square floor. There was no one to help such a woman. She says she's pitiful, and she's all tongue-in-cheek.

She is afraid of being harmed by a paladin, and she is disgusted with her bastards, who can't come forward and only talk about her.

Even though I am no different from them.

nevertheless I said

“… I have the power to save, shouldn’t I use it?”

There is a difference in the two eyes of Hae-won. At him I drew a smile.

“If you’re scared, I go alone.”

“It can’t be!”

A red magic circle rises and disappears.

"uh? huh?”

"what! Where did you disappear, lambda?”

Lambda, the child's mother is right before my eyes. I unfastened her hood and healed the wounds of her standing woman.

Her woman's lips tremble, she wants to tremble, and then she spit out her voice.

“… Lady?”

There was neither affirmation nor denial of the voice heard. It just made me smile softly.

The winter wind blows When it stopped, I was back in the woods with the woman.

“I will go to the child.”

“… What?"

My question did not reach Harun.

The wind blows again where I left.

‘We are turning away together.’

Not like that.

I was the only one who turned away. If we hadn't been together, you would have saved the child.

And I.

Neither the child nor the mother of the child who had collapsed would have turned away from it until the end.

I suddenly thought that it would be better if we broke up with each other.

No, I can't.

He quickly erased his thoughts and let out a strange laugh.

I am so selfish

About the time the sunset was falling on the sky, Hae-roon appeared with a sleeping child.

“Lambda!!”

The child's mother ran to her child crying. Immediately, the woman holding the child in her arms began to cry.

“It’s okay, there are no injuries.”

At Hae-roon's words, the woman bent her back and wept.

“Thank you, really… Thank you very much."

It's hard to hear the thanks from a woman. Because she knew it was a greeting she shouldn't have received.

As she calmed her discomfort, she approached the woman.

“Is it okay if I look at the child?”

"Yeah? Yes, of course! Of course!!”

I placed her hand lightly on the forehead of the sleeping child, and then breathed into her the power of a saint.

How many minutes have passed?

"Mom… … .”

“Lambda? Lambda!!”

The child's mother held the awakened child tightly in her arms and began to weep again.

The child also cries into her mother's arms.

I waited until the two of them stopped crying and then pointed to a small road.

“If you follow this road, you will come to a fork in the road. From there, follow the road on the right.”

"Ah… … .”

The child's mother seemed to know who I was.

After slaughtering the priests of the central temple, she is said to have been attached to the demon king army.

She asks if she can't stay here as a child she doesn't know.

“I mean, it’s scary. I am not a saint... … .”

I smiled softly and stroked her child's head.

At that moment, Hae-roon, who had been quietly standing, gently stroked the child's hair.

A red light flashed around her child, and her child's black hair turned blue.

The same goes for her child's eyes.

Hae-roon smiled at the surprised child and said.

“This way, you won’t be misunderstood as a saint, Lambda.”

“You know my name?!”

“I don’t know anything.”

Hae-Hwan lightly presses the tip of her child's nose and plays her pranks. The child smiled bashfully and stretched out her hand toward Harmoon. Hae-Hun took the child's little hand and said.

“Even when the sun goes down, the forest will be bright. You don't even have to worry about wild animals. right?"

He nodded his head in response to the question, and replaced the words of Hae-won.

“If you leave the forest, you will come to a fork in the road. From there, follow the path on the right.”

I forced the mother of her child to squeeze one of her pockets and said:

“In the first village you meet, they will accept you and your child.”

The pocket he handed to the child's mother contained enough money to live on for a year.

She nodded at me, stretching her back, knowing that the woman knew what was in the pocket she had taken.

"Thank you… … ! Thank you very much… … !”

After several greetings, the woman took her child's hand and moved her away.

She tilted her head slightly as she watched the two of them move away.

I don't know what kind of butterfly effect it will bring to helping her mother and daughter and deciding where to go.

It's not too late now.

Without any repercussions, that mother and daughter right away... … .

“Are you sorry?”

I felt her large hand wrapped around her waist. Hae-won, who hugged me from behind her, whispered in my ear and asked.

“No, are you worried?”

She didn't say anything.

Perhaps he wasn't expecting an answer, Hae-roon whispered while putting his lips to my cheek.

“Nothing will happen.”

“I don’t know.”

“I will make it that way.”

As he spoke softly, he let out a small laugh.

It's pretty believable.
