I’m Not Coming Back to Earth With a Girl Like You

38 – #038 Night’s Rest

After the burning ceremony.

-Undertaker, innocent!

I overcame the public slander and was safely pardoned.

In the meantime, my actions were quite rough and unconventional, and I showed a disregard for human life, but all of them were tolerated in the name of ‘to seal another demon lord’.

That’s how evil the demon king was.

It was also a situation where the perception of the four witches was shattered.

Thanks to that, I gained freedom, and now I can confidently walk in and out of the church.

I got my freedom, but I only have one place to go.

“Are you here?”

I closed the door.

“You can speak comfortably. No one can come here.”

Within the church, in the ‘Special Worship Room’, where even high-ranking priests were not allowed to enter, only the saintess could come and go, of course, there was no one but the saintess.

“Did I interrupt you?”

“No. I was just praying to the goddess. I just finished praying.”

“I think that’s a hindrance.”

“The undertaker is here, but you can pray later. Huhu.”

The saintess had no qualms about saying disrespectful things in front of the statue of the goddess.

“You’re leaving tomorrow morning to break the two remaining seals.”

“Yes. After unsealing the remaining ‘Demonic Spear’ and ‘Barding’, I will find the other two witches and put them in there.”

“…Are you ready? It’s your ex… Right?”

“The preparations are already complete.”

I know why the saintess is anxious.

I also thought to myself, ‘Is it possible?’

“Are you worried that I’ll take care of your ex-girlfriend?”

“Yes.”

“You’re honest. But at the same time… You’re a little too much.”

I approached her saintess and held her in my arms.

“Is my heart beating like I’m lying?”

“You’re pounding and thumping so much?”

“She thinks she is coming to see the saintess, so her heart beats like this. If she had lied in front of the saintess, she would be insulting the saintess, so her heart would have cooled.”

“Why?”

“She is disillusioned with herself.”

I met her eyes with the saintess.

“The reason I’ve been able to survive until now is all thanks to the saintess who healed me physically and mentally and saved me. How could I lie to her?”

“Really, are you going to seal the remaining two with full force?”

“Yes. I will do my best to seal them both. Rather, they are the ones I wanted to seal before Min Sena or Hwang Lian.”

So that the insecurity does not continue to grow.

Don’t let your thoughts deepen and cause hesitation.

So that the saintess would not be anxious.

“Saint, I was wrong.”

“Why the undertaker?”

“You made the saintess uneasy.”

It’s my fault for causing the saintess to keep having bad thoughts.

“It would have been fortunate if the surviving women were women who had nothing to do with me, but that’s what I think. Then I could kill them mercilessly and leave with the saintess.”

“Undertaker…”

“I want to return to Earth with the saintess as soon as possible. To do so, now that my charges are cleared, I must leave immediately to seal the other witches. Unfortunately.”

“…It’s really unfortunate.”

After the saintess got away from me for a while.

“If it weren’t for this, I would have followed the mortician.”

I kicked her in the foot towards the bottom of the altar of her goddess statue.

“Saint…”

“Why?”

“What would you do if the goddess got angry and said, ‘You can’t go’?”

“Hmph. It’s the first request I’ve made for the warriors, who haven’t been outside the church for the rest of my life. If the goddess who can’t listen to that gets angry, isn’t that a bad sign?”

“You can’t do this outside.”

“Of course. What a kind saint I am outside.”

The saintess rubbed the marks of the altar she had kicked with her foot.

It’s hard to see right now because it’s a darkroom, but if you open the window later and let the light shine, you’ll definitely see the traces of her kick.

It is the holy woman’s responsibility to tidy up the worship room, but it is doubtful that she will be able to properly tidy up tomorrow morning.

“Saint.”

I asked her as I approached her goddess statue.

“Then are you ready to become a bad saint in front of me?”

“I was always not a saint in front of the mortician…But a bad kid?”

The saintess approached her goddess statue with me.

“Saint.”

I took out her ring and put it back on the ring finger of her left hand, and the saintess also took her ring from me and put it on my hand.

“From now on, what you do here will be very disrespectful to the goddess.”

“It’s okay to disrespect as much as you already disrespect.”

After the saintess took off her cloak, she covered it over the face of her goddess statue.

“If you do this, you won’t disrespect the goddess, right?”

“…You’ll hear later that you’re doing strange things in the worship room. I’m sure.”

“But you don’t intend to stop here, do you?”

“Of course.”

I also took off my cloak and put it over her saint’s robe.

Now the goddess here can’t see anything.

A closed room with a locked door, a space where even the moonlight does not come in and only the candles in the worship room are lit.

Hwareuk.

In a place where even the candles are all extinguished, complete darkness has fallen.

“Saint.”

“Shh…”

We talked in the dark, without even the goddess knowing.

Until the light of dawn rises.

* * *

Shoot ah.

It’s raining.

Bambi, falling from the sky thick with only darkness, fell on the wide hat and scattered it, extinguishing the embers at the end of the staff the woman was holding.

“aaah…”

In front of the woman, a burnt man stretched out his hand to her woman in agony.

Against the tanned man, who could not even tell if he was a man or a woman, the dark-haired woman aimed the tip of her staff again.

“Incineration.”

Hurry up.

The flames that spewed out from the tip of the staff engulfed someone in an instant, and the charcoal-black person had no time to resist and threw his head down into the flames.

“…Ha, ha ha.”

The woman pressed her staff to the floor and covered her face with her hands.

“What, that’s simple.”

Hwareuk.

Embers began to rise around the woman wearing a witch-like robe.

Even in the darkness, in the rain forest in the shade of the night, the flames of the woman bloomed bright red.

“…….”

Between her fingers that covered her face, her woman’s eyes shone with a cold blue light opposite the flame.

At the end of the woman’s gaze was a village full of silence, and the woman walked towards the village in silence.

“Who, who are you?!”

“Ah, you…”

The people rushing from the village saw her woman and let her guard down for a moment, but soon saw her woman’s charred corpse lying behind her and opened her eyes wide.

“No, that corpse…?!”

“No way, did the hero kill you? Who the hell…”

Hwareuk.

The woman aimed the staff at the villagers, and soon the embers next to the woman attacked the people.

“Some more.”

“Aagh!!”

“Do, run!!”

The villagers were frightened and ran away from the sudden attack, but the woman lost the will to flee as soon as she put a staff on her floor.

“Ah, ah…”

A huge pillar of fire covering the village.

Unfortunately, the brilliantly shining flames were meant to burn themselves, not the demons.

“Uh, why…! Hero! Why are you trying to kill us?!”

“We have nothing but a quiet life in this town! Heroes! Heroes!!”

“Ah, hmm. It’s your fault…”

Lady Chae Yu-ri selected staff and aimed them forward.

“…I’m subjugating the remnants of the demon king. Me.”

“Hero! Not us! Not—”

A pillar of fire struck the village.

Chae Yu-ri pressed down on her hat and looked up at the sky.

“…If I say I am the remnant of the Demon King, then I am the remnant. I talk a lot.”

Smile.

Chae Yu-ri twisted the corner of her mouth at the group of lights that no one else could see, only Chae Yu-ri could see.

“The level has risen.”

* * *

It is morning.

In the darkness without any sunlight, outside, the sound of birds announcing the morning is resounding.

“…….”

The saintess overcame the oncoming sleep and opened her eyes.

Last night, the time I had hoped for so long, literally, like the fireworks of the night, faded so quickly.

Then he left.

In order to unseal the magic spear, he must have woken up at dawn and left.

I have to-

New, new.

What is the sound of breathing next to you?

The moment the saintess carefully stretched out her hand, a faint light emanated from the ring she was wearing on her left hand.

“……Ah.”

He was right in front of me.

Where did the person from last night, who had been threatening to leave at dawn, had gone? He was sleeping with a very comfortable face, like a child sleeping.

“…….”

The saintess carefully reached out her hand toward the man’s face.

Where did the nervous and shrewd man who always fought in a place full of death disappear to? At this moment, the stupid and naive young man of the moment I first met him remains.

Perhaps.

The saintess buried her face in the man’s arms, thinking that maybe it was because she was relieved to be with her.

“…Mmm.”

The man embraced the saintess with his hand.

His heart sank in fear that he might have woken up, but fortunately that didn’t seem to be the case.

“Saint…”

At the words of the man who called her in her sleep, the saintess shed tears without realizing it.

“…….”

Thanks to that, the saintess was relieved.

She was assured that even if they were to break up again, she would not be insecure anymore.

Now.

Because in this man’s mind, she was certain that she didn’t have an ex anymore.
