    In response to Elsie’s question Larel looked puzzled for a moment.

    “what? The era you had to live in? “What are you talking about?”

    I couldn’t understand what the spirit in front of me was saying.

    Elsie who flew in front of Larelle’s face made a slightly gloomy expression.

    -Even though you say you have given up on this world the fact that you are not passing it on to future generations or disappearing doesn’t mean that you still have regrets about what happened?

    Elsie said in a grunting voice.

    -As if he had seen all the darkness of the world.

    Elsie pouts her lips and looks dissatisfied.

    She wasn’t like her usual Elsie.

    However in her own way Elsie felt frustrated with the Great Spirit in front of her.

    Although he possesses a brighter light than anyone else he pursues darkness.

    It can shine brighter. It seems like it’s killing its own light.

    It is not the spirit of light’s job to take on the darkness.

    Leading people by shining a light of hope.

    That was the spirit of light.

    “I don’t know what you saw.”

    Larel frowned.

    “You can’t understand my darkness.”

    -Then first show me the darkness you saw.

    “You mean you can understand my darkness?”

    -Of course.

    Elsie smiled brightly.

    ‘Brightness in the spirit of darkness…!’

    Larel held out his hand to Elsie.

    A small cluster of light was twinkling above Larelle’s hand.

    “Even if my mind collapses I don’t know.”

    This is the darkness in which the Great Spirit suffered.

    Spirits which are mental bodies suffer fatal injuries if their minds are cracked.

    Elsie smiled at Larelle’s words and stretched out her hand toward the light.

    Woe!

    A bright light burst out.

    It was just a moment.

    But from Elsie’s perspective it was a very long time.

    Elsie opened her eyes.

    Obsidian-like eyes as black as a starless night sky illuminated Larelle’s face.

    Elsie laughed bitterly.

    The moment Larelle looks embarrassed when she sees Elsie like that.

    -It must have been very difficult.

    Elsie stretched out her hand and patted Larelle’s head with her small palm.

    Larelle’s face twisted as she looked at Elsie comforting her as if she understood everything.

    “What on earth is it?”

    Was the darkness he embraced so light that it could be easily understood?

    “Why are you understanding me so easily?”

    -hmm.

    Elsie was lost in thought cupping her cheek as if she were troubled.

    -It’s not a competition but it’s probably because I have more experience than you.

    Elsie smiled bitterly and stretched out her hand.

    The darkness stirred.

    -Would you like to take a look?

    Larelle looked into Elsie’s darkness and stretched out her hand.

    Darkness enveloped Larel’s body.

    After a while Larel stepped back with a white face.

    “You… what are you?”

    Elsie’s era as Larel saw it was full of despair.

    “How did you live through a time of disaster?”

    -I am a great spirit of the past.

    Elsie introduced herself.

    -It is said to be Elsie the shadow spirit the great spirit of darkness who was born in the era of disaster and disappeared in the era of disaster.

    Larelle’s eyes wavered as she watched Elsie formally introduce herself once again.

    “How is it that the great spirit that disappeared 5000 years ago exists in this era?”

    -I borrowed the power of Hero Records.

    Larel could not deny Elsie’s words.

    The landscape she saw in her memory was clearly a time of disaster.

    As an ally of Rhodia we captured the hero records of great heroes together so I clearly remember the scenery of that era.

    However experiencing part of that era through Hero Records and the despair of those who had to live it themselves were completely different.

    Larel’s hands trembled.

    By looking at Elsie’s memories I could see how she was feeling.

    “How on earth… can you smile like that?”

    Larel barely opened his mouth with a trembling voice and looked at Elsie.

    “How can we move towards the light?”

    Despite living in such desperate times Elsie never gave up hope.

    -well.

    Elsie tilted her head.

    -That’s probably because the light is that beautiful.

    Elsie’s bright smile caught Larelle’s eye.

    Leo smiled bitterly as he watched that scene.

    Leo knows another Elsie.

    If the current Elsie was the Elsie before she became crooked.

    The Elsie that Leo originally knew was a spirit who had more skepticism about the world than anyone else.

    ‘Yet he sacrificed himself for the world.’

    Elsie willingly sacrificed her life for the starlight in the night sky she had never seen before.

    Born as the darkest being in the darkest times Elsie was such a spirit.

    -So don’t give up on this world.

    Elsie smiled brightly as she caressed Larelle’s cheek.

    -Don’t give up on your pledge. If you don’t give up you will definitely be able to save them all. As if this world that had lost its light had regained its light once again.

    Larel’s face contorted as if he was crying.

    For Larelle who was trapped in deep darkness those words were like salvation.

    ***

    Larelle had transformed into a small palm-sized figure like Elsie.

    -so.

    Larel looked at Leo.

    -Leo Plov What on earth are you?

    A hero candidate with a spirit from the time of disaster as his ally.

    Elsie said in response to Larel’s question.

    -You should never say that I had a hard time in front of Leo.

    -yes?

    -If you make a mistake you say ‘Have you ever fought Erebos? Or did you see the world being destroyed?’ You will hear the same nagging. You heard it earlier right? What are these things called these days?

    “What do you think of me?”

    Leo sighed slightly and glanced at Larelle.

    “I am the reincarnation of the hero of the beginning.”

    -The hero of the beginning of the poem?

    Larel’s eyes widened at the unexpected identity of Leo.

    “why? “Don’t you believe it?”

    -If you think about Elsie’s identity… it’s not impossible.

    Before we knew it Larel’s tone towards Elsie had changed to an honorific one.

    It has to be that way.

    Elsie is a great spirit who accompanied great heroes during the era of disaster.

    To Larel it was like a senior.

    ‘Leoplov is all class. He has continued to show unusual behavior.’

    It has been 5000 years since Hero Records existed and the Age of Heroes began.

    Even after the existence of the world of heroes was revealed no one with abilities like Kyle existed.

    In the first place not even the heroes of the Gaebyeok had anyone who inherited Kyle’s power.

    Larel who was hesitant while looking at Leo asked cautiously.

    -Well… if you are really the hero of the beginning.

    Larel who was looking around gathered courage and asked.

    -Did you really not know that the King of Wisdom had feelings for you?

    “….”

    Leo looked at Larel with an expressionless face.

    Larel unconsciously makes a prickly expression at Leo’s gaze.

    “Did I really not know? “I had no choice but to turn away because I had to go on a journey to save the world.”

    Elsie looked at Leo with a puzzled expression and Larelle sighed in relief.

    -Is that so too? That’s what Rhodia did! Lisinas is so pitiful that he even teaches dragon race etiquette that you don’t need to learn and if you don’t notice that you’re a real idiot.

    Leo just grinned.

    ‘These damn things are real.’

    Don’t they say Seirun is a fool and Rhodia is an asshole?

    Leo said thinking that he should first punish before nagging.

    “Then I will ask. “The spirit of brilliance.”

    Leo said as he approached Larel.

    “Will you make a pact with me?”

    Larel looked up at Leo.

    For generations the Great Spirit of Light has made as its ally those who will lead the world.

    During the time of disaster.

    The person who would lead the world to salvation was Lysinas the king of wisdom.

    And at the second coming of disaster Rodia the dragon of the beginning took over that role.

    -If Kyle once again confronts the evil of the beginning… he will have to risk everything once again. Do you think this world is worth it?

    “Gachira.”

    Leo burst out laughing.

    “Elsie asked me that too a long time ago.”

    Elsie laughed bitterly at something another person she didn’t know said.

    “I thought that too. “I know very well that the world we tried to save… was not only beautiful.”

    ‘We will save the world.’

    I remembered what a friend who had left so cruelly told me.

    ‘Why do I need to be saved? Is this world worth it?’

    I also remembered my own crooked response to that.

    “But it is also a beautiful world where flowers bloom and children smile brightly.”

    Leo looked down at the cityscape outside.

    The sun is setting before we know it.

    ‘It’s not something to judge by whether it’s worth it or not.’

    “It’s not something to judge whether it’s worth it or not.”

    A red glow poured down behind Leo as he turned around.

    ‘This is the world that my precious people cherished and loved and the world in which I will live. ‘That alone is enough reason to give it my all.’

    “This is the world that my precious people cherished and loved and the world in which I will live. “Someone taught me that just one reason to risk everything is enough.”

    -Is that one reason really enough?

    “It’s a fact taught to me by the most foolish yet wisest person in the world so I’m sure of it.”

    Larel bowed his head politely as he saw Leo answering without hesitation.

    -No Kyle. Leo Plov. I promise to be your ally and to be the sword and shield that will pave the way for you and give you strength.

    Larel raised his head and stretched out his hand.

    The sentence of the contract appeared on the back of Leo’s hand.

    -Please save the world once again.

    “okay. “Please take care of me Spirit of Radiance.”

    ***

    A late night when the sun has set.

    Illyana who was walking down the alley ahead spoke with a bright red face.

    “therefore. “I saw with my own eyes the class leader entering the street!”

    Chelsea narrowed her eyes at Illyana’s words.

    “There’s no way Leo would go to such a strange alley.”

    Illyana looked frustrated as she looked at Chelsea who was full of distrust.

    “okay! That wouldn’t be possible if you had the usual image of a class president! But the class president is also a boy!”

    Chloe looked pitiful at Illyana’s words and asked Carl.

    “What do you think Carl?”

    “Well Leo you’ve never shown interest in that kind of thing.”

    “That’s right you’re a mature Leo?”

    “What don’t they know?”

    Illyana raised her index finger and twitched it.

    “The class president is very mature.”

    “yes.”

    “Adults do amazing things.”

    “What is that amazing thing?”

    When Chelsea opened her eyes Carl next to her smiled slyly.

    “What are you asking when you know everything? “When two people enter one room they become three an amazing magic.”

    “no! “It’s magic that can become four people!”

    Sigh-!

    “Oops!”

    “Keck!”

    Chelsea hit Carl and Illyana’s neck with both arms.

    “Keep your crude jokes in moderation.”

    Chloe clicked her tongue as she looked at Chelsea who had a pitiful expression on her face.

    “I guess I went there for investigative purposes.”

    So the four people arrived at the entrance to the Street of Joy.

    “grandma!”

    “She’s the little girl who ran away screaming earlier.”

    Late night.

    The old woman smiled and said.

    “This street is even more amazing at night. “Are you here because you’re interested?”

    “I’m not interested in that!”

    As Illyana shouted loudly Kal laughed darkly next to her.

    “really?”

    puck-!

    “Huh?”

    The sword that hit the solar plexus collapsed.

    “The boy who went in earlier. “Do you know where you went?”

    “I didn’t see you leave so I guess you’re still on the streets of merrymaking.”

    Illyana was shocked at those words and spoke.

    “Look at this! There’s no way the investigation would take this long! The class president must have fallen into the adult world here!”

    Chloe and Chelsea also looked embarrassed when they heard that Leo was here for a long time.

    Carl opened his mouth.

    “Wow it’s Leo as expected. “You’re so bold right?”

    “There’s no way Leo would do that!”

    Carl flinched as Chelsea shouted with a red face.

    “Oh no! “Even if you yell at me.”

    “What are you guys doing here?”

    Leo appeared at the entrance.

    Illyana looked Leo up and down.

    It was when Chelsea and Chloe hesitated slightly.

    “Tell me honestly class leader.”

    “what?”

    “You’ve been playing here right? Have you experienced the adult world? Is that it?”

    At those words Leo pulled Illyana’s cheek.

    “What are you saying?”

    “Ha don’t do it!”

    “This is so outrageous. “You’ve known me since I hid a bunch of unhealthy magazines and novels in my dorm.”

    “evil! evil! evil!”

    Illyana screamed with a red face to stop Leo from speaking.

    “You decided not to talk!”

    “Isn’t that why you only have such strange imaginations because you read so much about that?”

    “Don’t say anything!”

    Illyana hurriedly protested but was scolded by Leo and the dark story was revealed.

    “I think about this sometimes when I see Leo scolding kids.”

    Chelsea looked at Carl.

    “Don’t you remember when your parents scolded you?”

    “Yes I agree.”

    Chelsea nodded.

    Carl looked at Chloe.

    “Your expression is scary?”

    “I’m going to scold Illyana.”

    Chloe the dormitory director was angry that Illyana had brought in prohibited items.

    “Are you a mother?”

    puck-!

    “Huh!?”

    I said something meaningless and the knife hit me in the side and rolled around on the floor.
