221 – 64-3. Prophets are often mistaken for liars.
***
The ability to see the future.
Does that alone really make life easier?
If you know the next week’s lottery numbers in advance or know the answers on the test paper, you’re lucky.
But what about knowing a future that may not happen 100%?
If you blindly believe in that, misfortune may come.
‘Possibility.’
What the sage Azmodeus can see is possibility.
The illusion of rewinding a video tape when you close your eyes for a moment.
For example, let’s say that when you flip a coin, you see a future with tails.
When you actually try it, it may come out heads.
In the game, it was possible to see the future of the route divided according to the choices made.
So, she served as a guidepost to check and check which route the player was taking.
Unlike the game, this is the real world, so it’s like looking at one of the many world lines.
A future that could have happened.
A happy ending a step away.
The wisdom that Azmodeus had seen since he was born was always close to that.
“….”
Ability like this,
I wish it hadn’t been there from the beginning.
These were the words that she habitually repeated to herself in her childhood.
Before Emperor Locke unified the empire, before she entered her mage tower and took the name of the Sage.
“Hey, there goes a liar!”
“What am I going to say again today!”
Every time I walk down the street, I hear people booing.
Criticism mixed with criticism, the days when stones flew if the severity was severe.
As a child, Azmodeus was accused of being a liar in the village.
“Azmo! Another weird story! My grandmother got hurt because of you!”
She tells the future of broken potted plants, She
She saw a future where a carriage and a child collided and tried to save it.
Fate is a cruel law, so saving one person can create a butterfly effect that hurts another person.
Because no one knew at the time that she saw ‘possibility’ rather than a definite future.
What I did because I was worried about the people around me came back as a dagger.
“Azumo, this time…would you like to tell me the future again?”
“…Go away.”
A middle-aged woman begging for her with her wide eyes.
He was almost the only village merchant who took care of Azmodeus.
At first, she did a simple business in her fruit shop.
I have a lot of family to support, so I’m worried about living with glue on my mouth.
“I’m lucky this time. You could really get a lot of money!”
As soon as Azmodeus prophesied a drought in advance and revealed a lucrative future,
She became rich overnight.
From then on, I always blindly believed in her prophecies.
Even if there was a future that didn’t suit me, I invested all the assets I had and didn’t have.
“..Azmo? Where are you going..?!”
She is now a woman who is being chased by loan sharks, wearing a rag.
Azmodeus lowered her head and started running as if to run away.
“Shepherd girl! What he says is always wrong!”
Shepherd girl.
The words in her ears as she runs away from people.
Because of her demon bloodline, she had a different appearance from other people.
Yellow pupils, filled with black instead of white.
The strange horns on his head are just like those of a sheep.
The anchovy that the villagers call Azmodeus was a shepherd girl.
‘I-I am not a liar….’
Maybe she shouldn’t have helped people.
When she closes her eyes, the future always flashes by.
There was a problem in dismissing the future that a young girl sees as a dream or an illusion.
At worst, the future in which people die was predicted.
“Ouch..!”
Azmodeus stumbled and tripped on his stone beak.
Falling to her floor, she tried to get up by touching the ground with her hands.
Red blood flowing down her knees. A bitter sensation that made her face grimace.
It was she who hurt her from her fall.
“…..”
What’s the use even if you can see the future?
She’s so random that she can’t even see the future where she gets hurt.
Tears welled up at her overflowing resentment.
“Are you okay? Girl!”
“…Yes?”
In the girl’s field of vision, one of her rough hands was visible.
Callused, scarred hands, like someone who had held her sword for a long time.
“.. If you look closely, her knees are bleeding!”
The man who raised Azmodeus up.
Without hesitation, he tore off his clothes and tied a knot around the girl’s leg.
“Well, this should have been enough.”
The name of the man with the smile was Drake.
A Grand Sword Master who is clumsy when it comes to healing magic due to his lack of mana.
“Thank you.”
“hahahaha!! It hurts when a pretty little girl cries!”
With the scars from the knife sitting heavily on his face, he shouted, trying not to look scared.
Drake was holding a map in his hand like a first-time visitor to this town.
Azmodeus was watching his face intently to see if he was harming him.
But he never hit me or cursed at me even after a while.
‘This person… Is lost.’
She doesn’t care as she stares at Drake.
Drake turns the map in his hand and checks it.
After her wariness had softened over the healing of her wounds, she closed her eyes for a moment and began to foresee her future.
‘…I got into trouble because I couldn’t find the town hall.’
Drake, who was wandering on the road until the sun went down, became the target of the scoundrels.
Azmodeus could not foresee what would happen after that.
“Excuse me. Mister. Are you lost?”
“It’s not Mister! His name is Drake!”
Mistaking Drake for an ordinary wandering swordsman, she spoke to the man.
At this time, he was a sword master.
Even if he was captured by the scoundrels, he would have easily escaped that ordeal.
“..Follow me. I think you are looking for a town hall. I’ll let you know.”
Unaware of the circumstances behind it, she is only worried about Drake.
A piece of clothing tied to the leg.
I was concerned about the part where he tore the clothes he was wearing and stopped the bleeding without even thinking about it.
“What? Really! It was my first time here, so I didn’t know the way! Thank you kid! What is your name?”
Then the man asked her name while laughing out loud as if she had relieved her worries.
“…Azmodeus. Isn’t that the name of the Great Devil?”
Azmodeus said his name in a crawling voice. A name that has never been praised by people.
“Well, I’m a bit different from the tastes of young people! What a nice name!”
Hearing her name, Drake laughed heartily.
A distinctive loud laugh. A man with a bright smile, perhaps not paying attention to the gazes around him.
His face was darkly scarred from a knife, but the thought of fear disappeared when he saw his smile.
***
Drake arrives at the town hall with the help of Azmodeus.
As he walked down the street, he heard people whispering.
“I see, I can see the future!”
I thought it was a story about him recognizing himself as a sword master while defeating monsters.
The topic of all the stories is the girl who led him to the village hall.
These were gossips related to Azmodeus, who had demon horns.
“A future that doesn’t fit exactly. Mister, are you also reluctant to me?”
She talks while chewing on the bread Drake bought for her.
To anyone who saw the face that had been hit by the storms of the years at once, it looked like a man, not an older brother.
“hahahahaha!! No, not at all! Isn’t that a wonderful ability!”
How long has it been since I received such goodwill?
Days of being used or despised with disgust for seeing the future.
‘..That person is unique.’
Are you good or stupid?
Even though he noticed that Azmodeus could see the future, he didn’t say much.
Originally, he would have made unreasonable requests, such as asking to see his future, or telling him how to make money.
Her male grin as she looked at her was unusual.
He is the Drake who kicked out even the beggars who were chasing him.
“Even if you say you’re not an old man! More than that, in fact, I can see the possibility, not the future!”
“..Possibility?”
She thought for a while before opening her mouth.
In fact, he wasn’t the type to solve everything with muscles.
Unexpectedly, the type to use his head.
Coming this far, I saw her predicting her future.
Knowing in advance that a person is coming out of the alley, or avoiding a falling flowerpot with a single step difference.
There was also a case where I bought fish in advance for a starving cat.
“Yes! How can a person know the future!”
Drake didn’t think Azmodeus could see the future even after seeing that.
If she really was, then all her villagers wouldn’t have cursed at her.
Besides, he didn’t seem to know me at all when I first met him. He didn’t know if he would heal her wounds.
“I wonder if you are looking at other possibilities!”
Many crossroads and choices in life.
The explanation is that you are looking at the future that might come out if you choose another among them.
“Isn’t that an incredibly good ability? Azmodeus!”
“No. How many people call me a liar?”
He smiled brightly when he received information related to dragons at the town hall.
He smiled with his characteristic loud voice and looked confident.
“I am not a liar! It must have changed a bad future!”
The opposite of what we usually hear.
He stopped other people from throwing rocks.
He was a sword master who looked at him and even said that his horns were cute, as if he didn’t care about the appearance of demons.
“You must have seen the future where people die! Isn’t it!”
“..How to do that?”
“Even if you are accused of being a liar, you can see what I was trying to do to save lives.”
For the first time, Drake put on a somewhat lonely expression.
The starving cat I saw earlier had a family.
In order to feed the newborn kittens, the mother cat took care of her children before herself.
Because Azmodeus knew that and prepared his fish in advance.
Seeing through her heart, Drake laughed.
“You can’t change the past, but you can change the future!”
Drake speaks loudly, as if the people around him want to hear.
Even though attention was drawn to him, he showed an aspect of not caring.
“For example, I want to become a grand sword master! Girl.”
“Impossible. How can a human who is not a hero reach that level….”
A level where you can cut the concept.
It was impossible for an ordinary human being to rise to such a level.
Even if the wise man closes his eyes, he only sees a future where he gives up, but there is no future where Drake becomes a grand sword master.

“If you don’t believe me, make a promise with me! Azmodeus!”
Drake held a piece of paper at the girl.
It was a letter of recommendation to go to the Magic Tower. An educational facility located in the land of water famous for its magic.
“Why did you give me such a precious thing….”
“Everyone thinks that everyone has a chance to change their life!”
How did you get the recommendation letter from such a place?
“I will become a Grand Sword Master, so how about a girl go to the Mage Tower and become a Sage!”
Sage is actually the name of a group.
A generic name for exceptional talents in the Magic Tower.
I told her that if she became a sage, even if her future predictions were wrong, she would not be treated with contempt like this.
Seeing the ‘possibility’ that could happen, not the exact future.
It was his judgment that if he went to the Mage’s Tower, he would be able to know exactly about Azmodeus’ abilities.
Can we really change the future? The moment when I have a question.
“Looking forward to it. Sage!”
Drake smiles brightly at a girl with demonic blood.
It is said that since then, Azmodeus has been trying to change the future without being discouraged.
For the sword master who didn’t call himself a liar.
To truly become a sage and save people.
When everything is denied by the world, it is only for the sake of the person who affirmed himself.
The demon girl’s first love started a long time ago.
***
“That’s how… that’s how you became the wise man.”
“Yes, I was able to change the future after all. Thanks to Drake….”
An old story before the empire was even established.
She says that she entered her tower and learned that her future foreknowledge is to see possibilities.
She was recognized for her outstanding talent in her mage tower and rose to the position of a sage.
Drake also became a Grand Sword Master unlike the future the sage saw.
‘It’s been the same since the old days.’
He was the one who didn’t discriminate against people in the past.
Coming to think of it, I accepted him as a disciple even though I couldn’t use mana and had no talent for swordsmanship.
Unexpectedly, my head is spinning. Our master.
You noticed at first that the sage’s foreknowledge is a set of possibilities.
“This is amazing. I haven’t heard the story of the wise man from my master….”
“What, what…? I made a promise with a person like that…!”
The sage trembled as if he was dumbfounded.
Drake doesn’t seem to think of the wise man in particular.
One-sided unrequited love. Is there any way to break this down?
“Sage. What will happen to you and Drake-sama in the future?”
I asked the wise man how to connect with Master.
If she could see her potential, I wonder if she could know how to do something.
“…..”
But all that came back was silence. Faces getting redder and pupils dilated.
Foresight to the future must be blocked right now. So you don’t know the future? Probably not. At least the future I saw in the past….
“Sage? Why is your face turning red?”
“I don’t know!! I don’t know!! Do I have to tell a student such promiscuous things?!”
Ah, now I understand why these two ended up in unrequited love. A wise man who waves his hands like someone who has seen something shameful that cannot be described in words.
If you see such a future, you might be able to take a more proactive approach.
‘It’s the same as the old me.’
It is said that he was rather scared because the future was not certain.
There was also a question, ‘Can I trust that this person will like me just because I saw the potential?’.
“..Fine, let us help.”
“Yes. Suhyun.”
I sighed and begged her for her help.
At least in this field, Fine and I were experts.
“By the way, Suhyeon-ah. Promiscuous work is… What is it?”
“……”
I got goosebumps all over when I saw her smack her lips as she looked at me.
How can I tell you that it’s about making a gray wolf?
