How a Hero Lives as a Writer

55 – Aucklia’s Festival

Finally, the one year anniversary since I was summoned to Aucklia has arrived.

Since this summoning ceremony was an announcement that those who came from the Holy Land will be held, the summoning ceremony will be held in a church rather than a royal castle.

I waited for the preparations for the summoning ceremony to finish in the waiting room prepared by the members of the Holy Kingdom.

ㅡ Did you leave anything behind?

In response to Miss Helena’s question, I took out the items I brought and started the final check.

Letters, books written in Mare’s language, books translated into Korean, gold ingots, precious metals.

I brought everything I had to bring.

ㅡ You are also a very interesting guy. Until now, all the braves summoned to Mare worked hard to return to their original world….

This is the 7th Yongsan, so wouldn’t it be okay to have at least one warrior like me?

ㅡ Like a snobbish warrior.

On Earth, he was a writer and editor with 200 posts per month, but in another world, he is a great writer?!

It’s hard to throw everything away and become a salaryman in a situation like this light novel!

I will go the road not taken by others….

ㅡ Don’t you just say you like money?

I like money!

ㅡ Is this what a hero is?

What?

I was about to argue with Miss Helena when the Holy Knight opened the door with a knock.

“The preparations are complete, hero.”

“Yes.”

Now, it’s time to send a parcel to our beloved Earth.

As I followed the Holy Knight, I remembered what happened a year ago.

Ah… It was really shocking at the time.

I was hoping the sun wouldn’t rise tomorrow, and I got on the subway, but suddenly I fell into the pit.

I really thought I was lost, so I closed my eyes, but no matter how much time passed, there was no pain, so when I opened my eyes, it was Aucklia.

The expressions of those who surrounded me and looked at me with shocked expressions are still good.

“Come this way, agent of God.”

As I was looking around, remembering what had happened at that time, one of the cardinals I had met in the Holy Kingdom guided me to the center of the summoning circle.

The saintess was standing still in a similar position to the other paladins.

At first, I wondered if the cardinal would come to visit me, but I wonder if he came because of the tribal union issue.

It would have been difficult for the Pope to empty the Holy Kingdom.

You can think of it as taking care of the summoning ceremony for the warriors on behalf of the Pope.

I stood in the direction the cardinal pointed out and looked around.

Even though the location has changed, it is the same scene I saw a year ago.

“Then let’s start the ceremony.”

As soon as the cardinal said that, the summoning circle drawn on the floor began to glow.

The light directly reached the ceiling of the cathedral and became a summoning circle in the same shape as the floor.

Then the surrounding mana began to mix and create a single flow.

… I felt the immense density of mana, enough to make my flesh tremble.

ㅡ Now.

Okay!

According to Helena’s signal, I inserted the holy sword into the place where the flow of mana was born.

Then, the mana flowing around the summoning circle gathered around the holy sword and became a black sphere.

Thinking of the black sphere as a keyhole, I turned the holy sword, remembering my parents’ home on Earth.

Wheeying!

A wind suddenly began to blow in the enclosed space, and soon light began to leak from the black sphere.

I see.

It was my room at my parents’ house that I miss a little bit now.

I hurriedly tossed the items I had brought into the hole.

As I pushed everything in like that, the hole slowly started to get smaller.

Ah… Goodbye for another year now.

If you leave now, when will you come again? Love, love, my love~♪

ㅡ What is that again?

A song my father used to listen to.

When I look at the earth, it suddenly comes to my mind.

I told you to call me once a month, even if it’s not a big deal….

Please forgive this filial son.

He said he would retire soon and return to farming.

Still, with a present of this level, it would be a mixed bag, right?

ㅡ Materialism is so scary.

Confucianism in Korea is that even when you are young, you prepare something elaborate for your parents’ birthday, but when you become an adult, you put pocket money into your bank account.

ㅡ Ugh, that bastard’s Confucianism.

Ah, it will close soon.

As I was staring at the gate while thinking that, the door that had been firmly closed through the hole opened and someone entered the room.

It’s my mother.

My mother and I met eyes for a very short time.

My mother tried to shout something with a startled look on her face, but the gate was closed so her words didn’t reach here.

… After all, for the time being, I’ll have to live as a younger son, not Goyan.

ㅡ Carry out the hero’s task diligently.

A task?

ㅡ Did you see it too?

You mean I can make a near-miraculous wish, just like the 4th Champion Diana Woodgard did?

ㅡ Wouldn’t it be possible?

Helena-sama still gave an ambiguous answer, but the fact that she said this must mean that it was already possible.

If you think about it, an elf becoming a human is as close to a miracle as a bear becoming a woman, isn’t it?

It may be possible enough to travel to Earth from here or bring your parents.

Of course, it won’t be easy because it will consume an enormous amount of karma, but it’s not impossible.

This is enough information.

Make Oaklia a livable country.

Heal Reina, who is suffering from a disease close to narcolepsy.

After achieving that first priority, I was a bit relaxed, but it just worked out.

Death continues to work hard.

I shook off my lingering feelings and came down from the center of the summoning circle.

Then he thanked those who were nearby.

Then the knight in the cathedral went outside, and soon a thunderous shout erupted from outside the cathedral.

It was the signal that the ceremony honoring the warriors would begin in earnest.

***

“Are there any strange parts?”

“No.”

Reina gave a puzzled expression as she stroked her hair, which had turned brown.

“Isn’t it difficult?”

“Because I danced a lot with someone, my stamina improved.”

… This guy?

ㅡ The dog leg dance was of great perfection!

It’s a relief that Helena’s voice didn’t reach Reina.

For some reason, it feels like the two of them are in perfect harmony.

She had walked this far from the royal castle escorted by Sir Louis, but there was no blood or sweat on Reina’s face.

As expected, he is the bloodline of Prince Albert, so is his physical condition different?

“Come to think of it, what about Damian?”

“I heard that you left the castle early in the morning.”

“Really?”

I don’t know if he’s holding onto a pot again.

Reina and Stella’s illnesses have been cured.

Ochlia’s food, clothing and shelter issues have also been resolved.

So there was no longer any need to study at Elvens.

From now on, Damian will have to learn various things as the crown prince.

Perhaps this festival is the last freedom allowed to Damian.

“Where do you want to go?”

“That… Can I go see a play?”

Raina looked at me and Sir Louis while saying that.

“Vengeance is mine?”

“Yes.”

Coming to think of it, we haven’t gone to the theater together since then.

Because Reina wouldn’t have gone to see the play by herself….

I glanced at Sir Louis.

Sir Lewis just seemed to be following my opinion.

“Let’s go see it. I haven’t even seen part 3.”

“Can I?”

“I have a lot of time anyway.”

“Wow!”

Raina smiled brightly and clapped her hands lightly.

Then he started walking at a slightly faster pace than usual, saying let’s go quickly.

“Did you find out the time of the performance?”

“Yes, if you go now, it will be right on time.”

I would have been disappointed if you said you weren’t going.

It is a work that has already been performed in Oklia to the point where I am tired of it.

So I thought it would be rather chilly, but quite a lot of people were filling the seats.

Are they from other domains in Oklia?

Looking at it like this, it gives off the feeling of a festival.

“All of Leonard’s troupes are good, but it’s a pity that there is no food.”

“Food?”

“In Earth, popcorn and coke were national rules when watching movies or plays.”

Ah, since we’re talking about cola, I want cola.

Man is a very cunning animal.

I thought it would be nice if only the minimum amount of food, clothing and shelter could be solved, but now I’m looking for coke, the crystallization of capitalism.

“Does it taste so good that the writer misses it?”

“Coke, the symbol of capitalism, is great. If popcorn is added to that, kya… That is life.”

I assure you, if the earth becomes a zombie apocalypse, favorite items such as cola, chocolate, and coffee will become more expensive alternative currencies than money.

“When things get better, those things keep coming to mind.”

“Are you greedy?”

Reina covered her mouth and she giggled.

I tried to reply to Rayna, but she decided to keep her mouth shut because the play had started.

Since I had already seen the play, I thought it wouldn’t be very impressive, but after that, I felt that the stage’s suction power had increased even more, as if the play had evolved little by little.

We looked at the stage as if possessed, and when we came to our senses, the third act was over.

“I didn’t expect you to come to see me like this.”

“I told you to come see me again someday.”

“You actually forgot, didn’t you?”

“No.”

ㅡ Did you forget?

… Yes.

No, I was a bit busy in many ways.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been out with Sir Louis.”

“Yes, I am glad you are safe.”

“In the past, Sir Louis escorted me….”

“They said yes.”

“Are you taking everything from me?”

“What?”

“Lord Lewis is stolen and the bottle is also stolen.”

“That’s right.”

“And….”

Reina mumbled something and then she kept her mouth shut.

“What?”

“There is such a thing. Oh, how about going over there next time?”

A healthy guy.

Is that the patient who was bedridden until recently?

The festival had just begun, and because of Reina, it was a spectacle that made me think it might spread on the first day.

Still, it wasn’t a bad feeling.
