Chapter 90

Your Name (4)

‘To think Nellin goes to the Holy City. No, if Nellin heard the news it would be natural but...’

Around the time Claire was taking a nap in the inn room to relieve the fatigue piled from the carriage travel.

Kkanjuk was thinking about Nellin’s actions and the things that would happen because of that.

‘Originally Nellin coming out of the blue elf forest itself was an unexpected matter.’

Even when first bringing the slime to the secret workshop Kkanjuk never dreamed Nellin would directly leave the forest.

Kkanjuk thought.

What would Nellin do if arriving at the Holy City.

Seeing the situation Nellin would have taken Godric’s party that met the slime to the Holy City.

‘Probably going around together and training or something.’

But no matter how Nellin trains there is no way they would become as strong as themselves of that time in one go.

So when Nellin has to step forward in earnest it would be obvious to tell Godric’s party to stay still, so no worry of Godric’s party falling into danger for no reason.

‘By Nellin’s personality won’t easily withdraw until seeing the end.’

If meeting Fresia at the Holy City it was obvious the will would burn even more.

The slime is the slime, but Nellin wouldn’t leave the existence of the more dangerous lich alone either.

‘The ones who informed the danger of lich were me and Fresia.’

-Lich? That kind of guy, I’ll pierce the skull with my bow!

Kkanjuk unconsciously rubbed the forehead of his own skull.

-Haa, if even Nellin steps forward can’t stay still.

By now the Holy City’s investigation team would be doing the lich search as well as investigation about the slime together.

Of course the focus of the investigation is about himself. The slime would be a bonus.

But the Nellin who defeated the calamity joins?

The investigation teams’ will might rise excessively and try to actively find even the slime.

The problem is if that excessive will ends only with finding the slime it’s fortunate.

‘The Holy City’s investigation team has many radical guys.’

Even if finding the slime the slime the lich was taking?

The next Saintess might be in danger! This is all for the Saintess!

Might judge arbitrarily and attack the slime.

Of course the slime wouldn’t obediently take it but from then the possibility of the situation becoming more complicatedly tangled was there.

‘Then rather me going out first from my side would be the safest for Mallang.’

Didn’t even think the investigation team would find out the location of his secret workshop.

Originally tracking the traces of Kkanjuk who can warp itself would be impossible.

In such a state if the investigation team with excessively risen will discovers the slime before himself it didn’t seem things would flow peacefully first.

‘Then how should I appear again... hmm?’

While thinking of the plan Kkanjuk suddenly tilted his head at the thought he is having now and burst into laughter.

-Hahahaha! To think I am actively thinking of going outside like this.

30 years since becoming a lich.

At first absorbed in the new concept of the system he didn’t know time was passing.

Thanks to that the hatred toward humans could be greatly eased.

However even after the hatred eased Kkanjuk didn’t try to go outside the workshop.

Exploring the system became just an excuse from the moment the hatred eased.

Could have gone to the Magic Tower a bit faster and revealed the truth.

Or could have appeared in front of the still living companions and confessed the facts.

But Kkanjuk didn’t do that.

There was fear in one side of the heart.

How would the companions accept himself who became a monster.

Even if having reason like now wouldn’t they point staffs, bows, swords toward himself the monster?

Because there was such hesitation and fear.

‘It was a foolish thought.’

At first it might be like that.

But if starting conversation the misunderstanding would be resolved.

The companions he knows were ones with such character.

Just arbitrarily hesitating and being anxious and pathetically continuing to shut himself in.

Kkanjuk could accept his own weakness.

Being able to have this kind of thought was also thanks to the slime Kkanjuk thought.

Could see the companions’ current appearances through the broadcast.

Nellin was still in a rough appearance.

Fresia even if aged the kind appearance didn’t change.

That appearance made the heart of wanting to meet the companions once more bloom for Kkanjuk.

And going outside to save the slime, and also going out every day for meat procurement for the slime’s meals he came to think.

Hmm. Going outside is nothing special?

Since the situation of going outside naturally continued rather the past himself who hesitated so much to go outside became foolish.

Now Kkanjuk was no longer afraid of showing his appearance to the companions.

Rather he wanted to show how the current himself has become stronger.

‘Didn’t just die watching broadcasts inside the secret workshop.’

Kkanjuk completed not only warp magic but all the magic he was researching while alive in the secret workshop.

Since not going outside the time to research magic was more than enough.

No need to sleep and no fatigue felt so no matter of concentration scattering.

‘If now even alone can face Nellin and Fresia, moreover the current Paladin all at once!’

While procuring the slime’s meals even monsters that were a bit troublesome to face alone while alive were easily caught so Kkanjuk’s confidence was in a very heightened state.

No need to hastily act like when appearing at the Magic Tower.

What facing this time are his own companions.

‘After ending inviting to my secret workshop would be good too! Thanks to Mallang still clean so won’t hear the words of dirty.’

Kkanjuk full of the thought of resolving feelings after moderately competing skills.

Taking Godric’s party Nellin arrived at the Holy City.

As soon as arriving at the Holy City Nellin said to Godric’s party.

“Ah right, you guys prepare to be surprised today.”

“Yes?”

“P, prepare to be surprised?”

“What is that sound, suddenly.”

“Hoo, don’t tell me starting the hell special training menu at the Holy City?”

“No. So don’t tremble your legs, Hawein. Saying yourself and flinching.”

“Phew.”

Nellin looked at the usual Godric’s party and smiled broadly and said.

“Just follow, anyway no need to catch an inn.”

“No need to catch an inn.”

“Not staying at that friend’s house?”

“Wow. A, seems a well-living person.”

“Tsk tsk, since a person occupying a place in their own way the house would be big too.”

“Kikik, yeah, the house is big.”

And the place Nellin headed was of course the great church.

“Kyaa, here is still damn big.”

“Marin-nim. Even so openly saying such words in front of the great church is a bit...”

“If big say big what to say. Godric, you are strangely timid about this kind of thing.”

“Please say I know manners.”

Entering inside the great church Marin looked around inside the great church.

“Clearly that kid’s room... was this way?”

Nellin unhesitatingly headed to the place where the Saintess’s room is.

But.

“Please stop. From here entry is prohibited except related persons.”

The believer standing guard in the passage blocked Nellin.

“Ah, that is I came to meet a friend a bit.”

“Friend?”

“Yes.”

“Could you tell the friend’s name?”

“Fresia.”

“Yes?”

“Fresia.”

At the appearance of Nellin saying Fresia’s name again the believer blinked.

An elf proudly saying the Saintess respected at the great church is a friend.

An elf with light green hair and blue eyes.

Just looking at this appearance it comes to mind the legendary hero starlight shooter Nellin.

But as a body in charge of guard duty couldn’t let in like this without accurate verification.

“By any chance what is the name...”

“Y, you!”

When the believer was trying to ask Nellin’s name a surprised old man’s voice was heard from behind.

The believer turned around and confirmed the surprised person.

“High Priest David?”

“Why are you here...!”

High Priest David was opening his mouth and surprised seeing Nellin.

“David? Hmm? Uuuum... Ah. Don’t tell me that timid one? Wow, aged a lot.”

“T, timid! Don’t say words that are rude to the High Priest!”

“Wow, rose to High Priest? Succeeded. Succeeded. Come to think of it Fresia also said you are diligent. Heard the great church succeeds if diligently putting in time. Was real?”

Ignoring the believer’s words and unhesitatingly speaking Nellin’s words High Priest David cleared his throat.

“Khm! Please refrain from such words in a place others see!”

“Hihihit, oh. Now an aged old man so securing dignity? Why? Trying to preach to me courageously like when first met?”

“Because High Priest. More than that please don’t talk too much about the childishness of youth. Phew.”

High Priest David sighed then faced Nellin and said.

“Long time no see, Nellin-nim.”

“Yeah, long time no see.”

““Nellin?””

Godric’s party who was quietly watching the situation from behind tilted their heads at the name Nellin the High Priest called.

“What is the reason for coming to the great church.”

“Heard a strong bone appeared at the Magic Tower? With Fresia’s personality would she leave that alone? Came to help.”

“Aah, as expected. To think you would come directly this quickly.”

“A friend is having a hard time. There is affection and loyalty. Right?”

“Still a rough way of speaking. Can’t you speak a bit more modestly?”

At High Priest David’s words Nellin scratched her head.

“Aigo, don’t say words like our grandma just because wrinkles formed. More than that going to meet Fresia can I pass?”

“Of course. Ah, Saintess Fresia’s room is different from before so I’ll guide.”

“Oh, then thanks. Kids, let’s go.”

“...Who are the people behind?”

“The underlings I’m currently training.”

High Priest David looked at Godric’s group pitifully.

“People who are having a hard time.”

When High Priest David turned around and advanced Nellin followed behind.

While walking following Nellin and passing the passage, Godric representing the group asked Nellin.

“M, Marin-nim.”

“Yes.”

“Don’t tell me Marin-nim’s real name is Nellin? Th, that legendary hero starlight shooter?”

“Yes.”

Nellin turned around to Godric’s group and revealed white teeth and smiled.

“Kikik. Said right. Would be surprised.”

High Priest David who heard the conversation of Nellin and Godric’s group didn’t stop his steps and asked Nellin.

“Nellin-nim, don’t tell me you have been hiding your identity until now?”

“Was going to reveal everything later~. Who knew it would become like this?”

“Hoo, the biography was false.”

“What is that sound, Hawein.”

“There are words that the starlight shooter has a clean and beautiful heart, Marin-nim.”

“Huum~ try saying more.”

“But Marin-nim’s heart snoring while scratching the stomach and drooling inside the carriage can’t be beautiful...”

Nellin who instantly moved places gave a knuckle to Hawein’s crown.

Paak!

“Aak!”

“You’re a guy consistent so good to see. Consistently earn the beating!”

High Priest David sighed.

“Haa... please refrain from violent acts inside the great church.”

“This is education!”
