chapter 24
24 – Conclusion. May their future be full of happiness.
He made a playful tone, but seemed to want to hear the truth.
I looked up at the dark red sky for a while before opening my mouth.
It was to check the situation on the battlefield that was stuck and organize my thoughts for a while.
It’s just that I haven’t been paying attention to recent events.
A love that broke through my fence at some point became a part of my daily life.
Even though we haven’t been together for a long time.
Thus, I realized what fate is.
Even if we pass by for a while, we will meet again someday and spend the day together.
An existence that turns hardships and pain into memories.
“I have no regrets.”
In the first place, the answer was decided.
Suddenly, Han Sarang got up and groped my face.
At last, softly closed eyes met me.
“Me too.”
Amidst the noisy silence of the battlefield, her words came through quietly.
“You always saved me.”
“From now on, I will pray for you.”
“Even though the title ‘saint’ is just a nickname.”
“Nevertheless, I hope to reach God.”

Has the prayer of one love reached the sky?
Seol-won, who heard the situation at the site through his contact book, brought all the members of the anti-horse slaughter unit and the purification team that could be summoned.
Amidst the entrenched battle, the Black Lions side, which had a lot of wear and tear, was immediately suppressed,
Most of the evil scrolls who tried to escape after almost finishing their preparations for retreat were either captured or lost their lives.
Seol-won, who was at the table of secret negotiations with the head of the scroll of evil, received my love back on the condition that he return some of the key officials and the demonic cult documents he had acquired.
After escaping from the clutches of evil, we immediately signed a contract with the Snowfield Guild and became their members.
After the case was settled under the water like that.
Based on the collected evidence, the fact of collusion between the Black Lion and Mine forces was revealed to the media.
In the midst of not only Korea but also the whole world vomited in astonishment.
The side messengers who lost the pressure from other large guilds and the guild battles that had been held several times were downgraded to small and medium guilds with most of their executive positions replaced.
In the ensuing investigation, the identity of the facilitator who helped them invade the academy was also revealed.
It was none other than the vice-chancellor of the Salvator Academy.
In fact, he is a member of the ‘Matakhoe’, a force that opposes me.
Raising the difficulty level in the virtual practice was also something I wanted to get out of the academy’s protective shield by expelling me.
And that’s how the unprecedented academy terror incident comes to an end.
Returning to our daily lives, Han Sarang and I were spending the weekend relaxing on the terrace of the mansion.
Sipping simple refreshments and fragrant black tea.
“I suddenly have a question, can you answer it?”
“What is it? Tell me.”
“This is a question I asked at the cafe the day we went on a date. If you won the bet, what did you borrow? Don’t make it up like that.”
I was hesitant at the time, but now I have nothing to hide.
“You were so curious about that?”
“Yes, you’re saying that you want something from me. I want to hear it as much as possible.”
The morning passed and the afternoon came, and the sunlight was brighter than usual.
As expected, it couldn’t compare to Han Sarang’s smile.
“Is this the girl I met during the Void Night event four years ago? I was going to ask that.”
Was it expected or was it unexpected?
He made an inexplicable smile with a meaningful expression on his face.
“Is that what you were curious about?”
“What… Then?”
“You’re saying it’s not now.”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
Han Sarang pricked up his ears, saying that he wanted to hear the reason.
“I don’t care what answer I hear now.”
– Shiiik.
A love that got up from the seat came to me, groping around.
When I stretched out my hand toward her, I held onto her tightly and held her close, very close, to the point where our breaths could touch each other.
“Baekhanil.”
“Ugh… Huh?”
I was always called with honorifics, but just hearing that name made my heart beat.
“Because of you, I found hope in a life that was like a nightmare, and I was able to run so far with you as my goal.”
A thrilling feeling melts into the infinitely serious tone of speech.
“My savior has always been you.”
The corners of the lips that rose softly contained sweet spring.
“Now that I am with you, I am so happy.”
– Whoa…
The wind is blowing.
“When I was young, I was stupid and foolish, so I couldn’t catch you.”
The warm sunlight also shines on us.
“Not anymore.”
Even the flowers in the garden decorated in pink give themselves to the fair wind to bless us.
“One love.”
“Baekhanil.”
This moment.
“In the future.”
“Always, forever, always, forever”
We were the protagonists of the world.
“I wish I could be with you.”
