I Became a Fake Priest the Saintess Is Obsessed With - I Became a Fake Priest the Saintess Is Obsessed With chapter 75

75 – And so the journey ends

Tama, who was entering the forest, stopped in front of a cliff overlooking a dwarf village.

“Now, this place would be nice. Don’t you get a glimpse of the magnificent view of the civilization we have preserved?”

Tama is

She sits quietly and then turns around to look at me, which shows that she wants me to ask her a question.

“…Can I ask you something I have some doubts about first?”

“Of course. What are you questioning?”

“How did so many dragons escape from the barrier?”

She said that one of the conditions that clearly prevents her from leaving the barrier is that dragons cannot escape from the barrier. However, I was suspicious that so many dragons came out of the barrier to help us.

“That’s thanks to the heterogeneity of the half-dragon named Maya.”

Heterogeneity… ?

“We created a barrier to confine ourselves in order to cut ourselves off from the world. However, if this world is in danger due to external factors, we have to step forward, so we need minimal interaction with the outside world.”

“So, in order to bring in humans to interact with the mysterious world, we set a condition that ‘humans with a relationship with dragons can enter’ and selected one person to regularly receive news from the outside world.”

“Anyway, the ambiguous beings under the conditions of such a barrier were half-dragons. Since they were neither humans nor dragons, if they formed a relationship with another dragon, they could leave the barrier with the other dragons.”

“Until now, we had avoided contact with Maya out of fear that she might impulsively leave the barrier, but after Yor escaped, we revealed her truth to her and had a conversation with her. That’s how we got there. “It all came out because of her relationship with Maya.”

Hmm… That’s it.

There was a story Silly had told me about Maya, so I was guessing.

“Then this is the main point… Do you know anything about the surname ‘Ira’?”

I took a moment to catch my breath.

How long did I go looking for Tama to ask him about my last name? In fact, it is safe to say that the reason I granted his unreasonable request was to ask this.

This stubborn dragon, who must have lived for thousands of years, responded that he knew what kind of family ‘Aira’ was doing.

“hehehe… You mean ‘Aira’…”

Tama paused for a moment.

“This may not be a pleasant story for you who serve God… Would you still listen?”

“…It doesn’t matter.”

Tama looks like he’s having a really hard time talking.

Still, when I ask him to do so, he slowly begins to open his mouth.

“Your last name… I mean… ‘Ira’… Huh, I don’t know how to explain this.’

However, the conversation cannot continue and continues to break up.

“There is a lot of time, so please explain slowly. I am confident in my patience.”

“Huh… I understand. Just give me a little time.”

I thought that if I waited like this, I would continue to stop talking, so I gave Tama time to think. After about 5 minutes, Tama finally finished thinking.

“Do you know the name of the Earth Mother?

“? Of course you know because you are the one who serves. So… You are the Earth Mother, ‘Niv’, right?”

“As expected, her full name has not been recorded in human society…”

He responded kindly, but Tama responded that he was frustrated.

“Full name?”

“Yes, can you hear me? The full name of Neve, the mother of all things whom you serve, is ‘Neve Aira.’”

Nib… Ira?

‘Huh? Why do the goddess and I have the same last name?’

“Are you kidding me? My last name is the same as the goddess’s last name. Even if you’re joking, it’s going too far.”

“I’m not kidding. On the contrary, it’s so ridiculously serious that even I’m surprised.”

Tama is looking at me clearly, her eyes not wavering.

So… Are you really saying my last name is the same as the goddess?

‘Is it true that she used to jokingly call me mom?’

Goddess, please tell me something. I’ve been living in this world for 12 years now and this is the most absurd thing.

But unfortunately, the goddess maintained her silence.

The last day of Bongryong-il has finally arrived after solving all the cases.

Many people were injured and the volcano was devastated, so the proper festival could not be enjoyed, but Agar resumed the festival for the dragons who would soon return to the barrier.

“Wow! Look! The flowers are blooming beautifully!”

“Master… No, Ivan! Come here!”

Although it was a somewhat simpler festival, it was a more enjoyable time than any other time during the trip.

In particular, Silly enjoyed the festival with a bright smile. It was her last party to enjoy as she returned to the barrier as a dragon, so I told Silly to enjoy it as much as possible.

And then night came.

“Attention everyone! Now we are going to set off the fireworks, the highlight of the festival! Take a good look at the night sky!”

Agar’s shout echoed throughout the festival, and everyone gathered looked up at the sky.

In the night sky, there are yellow stars, green stars, blue stars, gray stars, and… Colorful fireworks created by firecrackers bloom.

Unlike the destructive fire we faced, the sky was covered with flames that were simply infinitely beautiful.

Fire has been a fearful and frightening entity to humans since some time ago.

However, unlike what humans know, fire protected humans from harmful things and danced beautifully.

The fire is simply wielded without will. The flame was swayed by the malice of evil humans and destroyed the things it loved.

Look. The colorful fireworks blooming in the sky.

Was that thing really blooming to harm humans?

No. That is the dance of dancers decorating the stage. Or it may be the applause of those you love.

So the living flame locked itself away so as not to be swayed by humans.

It hid itself in a small mountain, embracing winged lizards similar to flames…

[Main Quest: The Essence of Flame has been completed]

[Reward: Reverberation from the flame, 500,000 PP, greatly increases the possibility of appointing a high-ranking priest.]

The reward screen appeared and I came to my senses.

Ugh… What was I just thinking?

I felt dizzy as disparate information flowed into my head.

“The side effects of painkillers are a bit long…”

I guess it’s because I took a painkiller made with a lot of narcotic ingredients, so I haven’t felt the effects of the drug yet.

Is it natural that I poured a drug into my mouth that makes me see illusions after taking just a few pills…?

I thought I would go out of my mind if I looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky, so I turned my eyes and looked at my companions.

As everyone observed the fire with admiration, bitterness was evident from Silly’s expression.

The moment the flames extinguish from the sky, the freedom granted to the dragons will be cut off.

If Sili returns to the village within the barrier, it will be difficult to meet with me in the future.

‘I can’t believe we are actually breaking up… ‘

When I thought of suddenly breaking up with my friend of 12 years, a part of my heart became bitter.

There were so many memories.

From my first meeting with her until now, my memories with Silly remain intact in my memory.

I stroked Silly’s hair, recalling those memories.

“Master…”

But that doesn’t mean we’ll be separated forever, right? It will only become more difficult to meet in the future. Someday, if I have time, I’ll come over and vaguely hang out with you.

I decided not to be sad about breaking up with her friend, giving her a look filled with such strange emotions.

“I need to get along well? Listen to your parents carefully.”

“Yes…”

Ha, now that I talk about it, it doesn’t feel like a friendship, but rather like a man returning a child he picked up as a child to her biological parents.

Yes, it is true that I have been taking care of you for a long time, so is it natural to feel this way?

“I’d like to say it’s a sad farewell, but her daughter will still remain by your side.”

While I was feeling uncertain, Tama walked out from behind and came to the front.

“Huh? What do you mean…”

“It’s literally true. My daughter will not return to the barrier even after this night is over.”

“So why?”

Tama laughs and says after hearing what I said.

“I made an agreement with everyone in the village. Let her youngest daughter experience the world freely, even if only for a short time.”

“But… Yor is a dragon, so isn’t he causing harm to the world?”

“My daughter, who is still young, will not be harmed by her mere presence. As a rule of thumb, she will be harmed by the time she becomes an adult, approximately 90 years from now.”

As I was being taken aback by Tama’s explosive remark, someone grabbed my shoulder from behind.

Has a unique hair color that is split in half. So Maya shrugged her shoulders as if she was tired.

“I came up with the agenda! Did you say it was difficult to pass? How much the old people in the backroom opposed it!”

“Sister Maya…!”

Silly, who was sullen, looked up at us with her eyes shining.

And then he jumped into my arms without hesitation.

“Master! Let’s be together in the future!”

Of course, Sillya. I tried to say it, but I couldn’t.

This is because the calm feeling of death coming from behind was suffocating my breathing.

“Master… You seem to have a very good relationship, Lord Ira, but… If you take my daughter by the hand, you will do as you command.”

“I don’t have that kind of taste…”

Ah, damn it.

I can’t believe I was misunderstood by the happy happy ending.

What a pitiful person I am!

With a scream in my heart, the fireworks in the sky went out.

So… The trip that was meant to be a rest ended up getting caught up in several incidents…
