Chapter 344
Tap, tap, tap-
Leo tapped his fingers on the desk.
'Well, there’s a reason why Sillyd hasn’t been able to take action in the Land of the Fairies until now.'
A fragment of Erebos sealed by Kyle, the Hero of the Beginning.
Those flames of disaster that burn endlessly.
[Leo, not long after you put an end to the Age of Disaster, I found one of the pieces of Erebos.]
Sillyd said with a deep sigh.
Sillyd was the only one in the world who knew about the existence of that fragment of Erebos and would not have been able to leave the piece of Erebos unattended.
This was because it was clear that the world would once again be swept away by the flames of disaster if the piece were to end up in the hands of Tartaros.
[We moved the Land of the Fairies and built a new home. Deep underground in the Land of the Fairies, we sealed the piece of Erebos to hold it back so it wouldn’t wake up.]
That’s how he had endured the last 5,000 years.
"Is there any sign that the piece will wake up?"
[There are no signs right now.]
Leo nodded at Sillyd’s words.
It could be seen as a relief.
‘The fact that it’s not about to explode right now doesn’t change the fact that it's still a bomb that’s waiting to blow.”
Leo squinted.
Five thousand years ago, at the time of the final showdown, sealing Erebos away was the best option for Kyle.
'Now it is possible to find and extinguish the divided pieces one by one.'
The first was warded off by the Heroes of Creation.
"One day, you will be able to completely destroy Erebos and achieve the peace you sought."
Leo looked at Sillyd.
"It must have been hard for you to carry this burden alone for 5,000 years… Thank you."
His contractor, the Poet of the Stars, Luna.
But at that time, he had been just a young Fairy.
Leo could imagine how mentally challenging it must have been for the kind-hearted little Fairy to endure for 5,000 years.
As much as he had faced Erebos in person.
The fear of waiting for his return must have been even greater.
Sillyd replied to Leo.
[Kyle, I… I still regret letting Luna go alone 5,000 years ago.]
"It’s not your fault."
[I know. But if I had been a bit braver. If I had stepped forward instead of Luna… I lived with the thought that if I had done so, Luna would have lived.]
“…”
[After all, I was the only one who survived Erebos. So it was my duty, and I should have done it.]
Sillyd said seriously.
[I want you to say thank you. You should be the one to be appreciated, not the other way around, right?]
Sillyd smiled brightly.
[Because you’re the Great Hero who saved the world.]
“…5,000 years sure is a long time.”
Leo rested his chin on his hand.
"That little Fairy from back then has grown so mature."
[Being the king for about 5,000 years, you learn a lot.]
Leo said in response to Sillyd’s words.
“Yes, things became so severe that you even had to boldly remove your problem child from his position.
[Problem child?]
Leo looked at Sillyd with a puzzled expression as he reached into the air.
A summoning circle opened.
It was for Kiran, who would normally have crossed as soon as the summoning circle opened, but not this time.
Leo forced his hand into the summoning circle and reached around before grabbing something.
‘A cotton ball?’
When Leo removed his arm, a red chick popped out of the summoning circle.
Cheep.
Leo placed Fiora on his desk and reached back into the summoning circle.
Smack-!
[Oh, master’s touch is so harsh~]
A voice that sounded oddly joyful rang out.
Leo roughly pulled Arty out of the summoning circle and then threw her on the floor.
Just as Leo’s face was showing irritation.
[Let go of me! Let go of me!]
[Where in the world do you find a summons that refuses to be summoned?]
Elsie, who had tied Kiran tightly in her shadow, crossed through the summoning circle with venom on her tongue.
[Miss Elsie?]
Sillyd looked at Elsie with astonished eyes.
Elsie looked at Sillyd as if to say hello politely, slightly lifting the hem of her skirt.
[Nice to meet you, Your Majesty the Fairy King. I’m the Shadow Spirit, Elsie.]
[Oh, my God, how is Miss Elsie in this world?]
Elsie, who looked surprised and tilted her head as she saw Sillyd flying in front of her, smiled.
[Oh, you know another version of me?]
[Another version of you?]
Sillyd, flustered, took a closer look at Elsie.
It was obviously Elsie, the Shadow Spirit who had signed with Kyle 5,000 years ago.
The Spirit who had perished in battle with the Commander King.
But there was a difference.
Elsie, whom Sillyd remembered, had a generally dark atmosphere.
She had perpetually questioned her journey to save the world and exuded a gloomy aura that made it difficult to approach her.
But the Elsie in front of him now was different.
[I came to this world through the Hero Records.]
[Hero Records?]
[Yes, I was delivered to Leo in the modern era as an Attack Reward.]
Sillyd looked surprised.
He couldn’t believe it was possible to bring someone from the past, existing in the Hero Records, to the present.
[Indeed, it’s the last legacy left by the gods.]
Sillyd, who remembered the times when the gods lived, was convinced with exclamations.
And glancing, he saw Kiran being overpowered by Elsie.
Kiran hurriedly turned his eyes away.
[I didn’t know you’d become one of Kyle’s contractees, Kiran.]
Elsie released Kiran as she basked in Sillyd’s return as the Fairy King.
Thump-!
Kiran hastily approached Sillyd and knelt down.
And said.
[Father, how have you been? It is I, Kiran. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, so I don’t know where to put myself.]
Leo cradled his chin as he watched Kiran lying flat on his stomach with a deep bow.
[So, in that sense, I’ve really been reflecting on myself a lot!]
Kiran clenched his fist and shouted.
[I’m not kidding! I’m helping Leo every day and committing myself to the future of the world.]
[He’s lying right through his teeth.]
Elsie whispered quietly into Leo’s ear.
Leo burst out laughing.
[Really?]
[Yes! I also helped defeat the Witch Queen!]
Sillyd looked at Leo as he saw Kiran shouting proudly.
"Well, it’s true that he helped me to achieve a great feat.”
Kiran gave a satisfied laugh at Leo’s words.
Gag-!
Looking at Kiran, Fiora pretended to vomit in her chick form.
[Surprisingly, he’s helping your case, Kiran.]
Elsie tilted her head.
Leo spoke calmly to her. "Even apart from the things he’s done for me, he’s done plenty to help others."
Cheep, cheep.
Fiora, walking in front of Leo in her toddler form, made her way cheeping towards Elsie.
Fiora was curious about the situation where the troublemaker Fairy pretended to be nice in front of Sillyd.
Elsie responded to Fiora’s curiosity.
[Kiran is asking the Fairy King for forgiveness right now, saying he has lived a wonderful and helpful life since he saw him last.]
Fiora's eyes flashed open and she ran towards Sillyd.
Cheep cheep cheep! Cheep cheep! Cheep cheep cheep!!
She flapped her little wings like crazy, crying out as if to tell Sillyd something.
Kiran's face trembled.
Sillyd used a spell to transform Fiora into a human.
Fiora greeted Sillyd politely.
“My name is Fiora. I am a Pheonix. Sir. I would like to report this Fairy for his misdeeds."
[Please, tell me, young Phoenix.]
"This vicious Fairy's day starts with stealing my snacks! And then all day she teases the dutiful hero candidates of Lumene!"
Sillyd's face grew colder, and Kiran's face turned pale.
"Finally, that vicious Fairy ends her day by stealing snacks from Lumene students late at night!"
Fiora, who had told his father everything of Kiran’s daily antics, looked relieved.
"And also..!"
"Yes, yes. That's enough, Fiora."
Arty put her hands on Fiora's armpits and lifted her up, then led her to one side of the room.
Fiora struggled to say more, but she became quiet quickly when Arty handed her a lollipop.
[It seems like you still have a long way to go before you become wise.]
[Ah, Father...!]
[I will maintain your banishment order from the Land of the Fairies.]
Kiran was frustrated.
Elsie sighed at the sight.
[That’s why you have to be kind to others all the time.]
Elsie, who left this stinging remark, flew in front of Fiora, who was eating candy, and said.
[Fiora, you’re no better.]
As Elsie was announcing the summons.
Sillyd flew in front of Leo.
[You must not get bored easily.]
"I’m never bored."
Laughing softly, Leo said, "You can’t leave the Land of the Fairies for long, can you?"
[Yes. I’d like to talk to you a little more, but… we’ll have to postpone that until later.]
Leo nodded at Sillyd’s words.
[Kyle, I’m glad to see you again.]
"So am I."
[Do you have any goals for this life?]
Sillyd knew.
When he was Kyle, Leo didn’t have a particular purpose.
Leo smirked at Sillyd’s question.
"I don’t know why I was reincarnated and reborn. But I’m sure there’s a reason."
Leo looked at Sillyd.
"You and I went through the Age of Disaster 5,000 years ago. Seeing this new age and the restoration of peace reminded me of that. Without a purpose, just following Lysinas… the journey I took with my friends was never meaningless…"
[It was the greatest feat in the world.]
"So I’ve set a clear goal for this life."
After Leo saw Fiora, Kiran, Arty, and Leah lying in bed, he looked out the window at the view.
"I decided to settle my past grievances in this life at all costs."
Leo smiled.
"The horror of that genesis of evil… I will not let any more evil arise after this era. That’s my goal."

The next morning.
Leah’s eyes opened wide.
‘Where am I… huht?’
Leah jumped up.
She slapped her cheeks in confusion, not knowing what to do.
‘I remember I was summoning the Fairy King but fainted when I ran out of mana… so… did I end up sleeping in Leo’s room?’
Leah, who got off the bed, didn’t know what to do.
And when she saw Leo sleeping in the window chair, she paused.
"S-Senior Plov is still here… So…"
"Are you awake?"
Leo, with one eye open, got up from his seat and stretched.
"I’m sorry for overdoing it."
"Oh, no. I’m the one who fainted …"
Leo said, looking at Leah, who smiled awkwardly and scratched her head, "I tried to wake you up but couldn’t get you to come back to consciousness, so I figured it would be best to keep you here. I didn’t know where your room was. Nothing much happened, so don’t worry."
"Okay!" Leah replied with a stiff voice.
Still, she felt a strange palpitation at the thought of having slept in a man’s room.
‘Oh! This is a huge violation of school rules!’
Looking around at the scenery outside of his window and checking the time, it was still early morning, with time before wake-up.
“I’ll get going now!”
“Ah, it’d probably be best not to leave right now…”
Leah, who didn’t even wear socks before Leo finished speaking, urgently left Leo’s room.
Click-squeaaaaaak-
When Leah, who carefully left the room, was about to return to her dorm.
"Leah?"
She looked back at the voice from behind her.
Leah was taken aback when she saw the girl whose eyes met hers.
"I… I… this is…"
Eclair, the third-place in the first-year and her close friend, was gaping.
"Leah… you… you stayed out all night? In a boy’s room, too?"
"I… come with me! I’ll explain it to you!"
Leah snatched Eclair’s wrist and hurried back to the room.
Creak-!
Leo, who opened the door, shook his head.
"I told you not to go yet."
Leo, with his tongue clicking, turned his head.
"Are you going to keep hiding there?"
Feeling a sense of bewilderment at the words, Anri showed her face from the other end of the hallway.
"You… you… what’s your relationship with Leah Tingel?"
Leo looked sour as he watched Anri ask with a red face.
"We were just talking about summoning?"
Anri laughed awkwardly at Leo, who spoke extremely calmly.
"Isn’t that right?"
"What are you imagining? Why are elves so sassy these days?"
"S-sassy! Who’s sassy?!" Anri shouted angrily.
