My Daughters Have Become Gods

25 – Motive

“So what you’re saying is…” “You were inside the Holy Sword for 15 years?”

Ecclesia asked me back while tilting her head.

After defeating the demon, I told Ecclesia what I had experienced so far.

From what happened inside the holy sword when I opened my eyes to the story of Erde, the god sealed within the holy sword.

“In it, the god Erde rebuilt your body?”

“That’s right. “Exactly.”

“Are you saying that the god Erde is next to you right now?”

“That’s right. He’s still by your side….”

Erde was seen floating like a ghost and waving his hand in front of Ecclesia.

Although Ecclesia cannot see it.

“Well. I can’t perceive it at all….”

Is Erde only visible to me? It seems that Ecclesia cannot see it.

It seems that only I can see Erde, as I was not even aware of her existence until I found out about her existence.

Is it because I entered her holy sword and met her?

“When you first appeared, I tried to ask you what you had been doing for the past 15 years….”

In Ecclesia’s situation, it may seem like I was hiding and pretending to be dead while still being alive for 15 years.

“15 Years to restore a completely destroyed body… …. I have the right to say those things to you, who almost died to save me… “I don’t think I have one.”

Ecclesia speaks in a downcast voice unlike usual.

“Why are you doing that? “Is it different from usual?”

Why did she, who was always confident, become like this?

“Qualifications. What are we talking about between us? I just protected you because you couldn’t move at that time. “It’s your job to protect your younger brother, right?”

“… hehehe. “Now he’s secretly trying to become my older brother?”

Ecclesia smiles.

Because her downcast appearance does not suit her.

The 15 years that I was unconscious.

Ecclesia was already over 20 years old and had become an adult.

In my memory, she looked like a six-year-old child, but before I knew it, she had become an adult woman.

She has long straight hair and a mature appearance.

Although she had a cute feel when she was young, her current appearance seems to be more suitable for her confident appearance.

And in her current appearance, we can see a glimpse of the demon lord from her past life.

“Anyway, you were able to create a new body and it was made from the body of your previous life, right? “It looks familiar.”

Looks familiar?

Ah, this is how he confronted Ecclesia, who was the demon king.

“Is this appearance uncomfortable?” .”

“No. That can’t be possible. As I said before in Beerje’s cave, I don’t have that feeling at all. More than that, looking at that image reminds me of memories from my past life. The day I first met you…….”

She seems to be lost in her memories.

Even though I killed her in her previous life, she didn’t seem to have any unpleasant feelings about it at all.

Is it because they were controlled by demons?

“Anyway, I’m glad you’re alive, Hyunwoo. I thought I’d never see you again. And you saved my life again. Thank you.”

“No, what, family. Oh, if I hadn’t been gone for 15 years, would they have had a funeral and everything? No, no, rather… What happened while I was gone? “Where is this again?”

“While you were away? …… “Where should I start talking?”

The demon that attacked Ecclesia earlier.

And this space.

Things that happened at my house while I was away.

I have a lot of questions.

“First of all, this place. This is my hideout. To be exact, it is one of the bases of Arabel, the organization I created.”

Arabel? An organization created by Ecclesia?

You created an organization. What has he been doing all this time?

“Um… I guess it would be too confusing if I said this. “Do you remember how I told you that I would defeat the evil god and take revenge on other evil gods and demons?”

I remember it clearly. The revenge that Ecclesia pledged after defeating Beerze. Even the voice and expression from that time came to mind vividly.

For me, who has been unconscious for 15 years, it feels like yesterday.

“Revenge…. That’s right. “I said that after defeating Beerje.”

“So, this is an organization created for that purpose… ah! Now that the demon is dead, you can use magical power! “That will do!”

Wow

A small symbol glowing red appeared above Ecclesia’s right hand and then disappeared.

Magic?

Is it a summoning spell?

“Who did you call?”

“You’ll know when you see it.”

And after a while.

Suddenly

“Did you call me, my master?”

An old gentleman comes through the door.

Wait a minute.

It looks somewhat familiar.

“Duke Vissus? “Why are you here?”

The guy who planned to kidnap me and Planme.

“Oh, you remember. Yes, it’s Duke Vissus who tried to kidnap you back then.”

The guy that Ecclesia and I went to catch together and cast a subordination spell on.

Is he still with me?

“Why is he here?”

“At that time, you went to Duke Vissus’s house and cast a subjugation spell. We used this guy to expand our power. “He’s my henchman now.”

Expansion of power using manipulation…….

Is this possible because it is Ecclesia?

I think the subordinate magic I saw in my past life was only enough to temporarily disturb the opponent, but if you want, you can use it like a servant like this.

It was an expansion based on the duke’s prestige.

I thought that the power of Ecclesia might be stronger than I imagined.

“Master. “Who is this person?”

“Ah, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you. “It’s Arwen.”

“Arwen? Ha, but he definitely did it 15 years ago… ?”

Duke Vissus looks surprised.

“I knew that too. But it turned out that he was alive.”

“The hair color seems different from what I knew… ? Master, if he….”

“Quiet! I’m fine now. “This is Arwen, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

Ecclesia interrupted Duke Vissus.

Oh, did you think I was deceiving the Ecclesia because Arwen when I was a child with blonde hair and the person I am now look completely different?

“Vissus, are you thinking that I am not someone else and that you are mistaking Arwen for someone else?”

“I was presumptuous, master. Sorry.”

Duke Vissus bowed his head and apologized to Ecclesia.

Why did he become so loyal?

I also want to check if my owner is being scammed.

Even though I cast a subordination spell on him, he’s too loyal.

“But there is this guy, so why were you being bullied by the devil?”

If this is a hideout, wouldn’t it be worth having subordinates there?

That Duke of Vissus came running right away, so why was Ecclesia fighting alone?

“Oh, that demon snuck into the room I was in and split this place into a dimension.”

“Separation?”

“So… hmm. What should I say, freezing the dimension itself so that no one else can enter this room? “No sound from here can be heard outside.”

Was it something like that?

The story goes that Ecclesia was caught off guard.

“Oh, indeed. So you are twenty years old now? “Because 15 years have passed.”

“I guess so?”

I was five years old 15 years ago, so if I had to be specific, I would have been twenty.

Although I returned to my previous life.

From the beginning, Erde said that the body I have now is me in a past life when I just came to this world, so I guess I must be in my early twenties.

“Then it would be perfect to enter the academy this time.”

“…… Academy?”

* * *

It is said that while I was away, our children, the three highest gods, joined forces to create an academy to find the existence of the oracle.

Unitas Academy.

A high institution that gathers and selects talented people from all over the empire.

A place where just entering the school is an honor for your family and a source of pride for your country.

“Are you telling me to go to that academy?”

“Yes. “If it’s your ability, it’s more than enough.”

“Yeah, but why me? Why… “There’s no reason to go.”

Going to the academy may be an honor for others, but….

Is there a reason for me to go?

“I got information that demons have been hiding in the academy.”

“Devils at the Academy?”

The devils have invaded… What were you aiming for?

“But I can’t go in. Because I am the head of the organization. And my identity is also known to them. “This time, a devil who is not compatible with me came to assassinate me in order to get rid of me.”

I understand why they want to send me there….

Even so, as soon as I arrived….

Ecclesia said earlier that her parents thought I was dead and Ecclesia was also missing, right?

Then, it is a bit difficult to get there.

“At that time, I did not understand why you wanted to follow the bishop of the Church of Leia. But I think I know now. “Is that because you want to know about your children from your past life?”

How to do that?

Is it because I learned that I am a warrior and that Leah, Alia, and Huffness are my children?

“The devil has infiltrated the academy your children created. “I think you might be interested?”

Our children….

Although he has already become a god and is of a higher rank than me.

Like Beerje, there are devils and evil spirits who want to harm our children.

As a father, I can’t just sit back and watch.

“Okay. “Where should I go?”
