Chapter 202: Siriel (1)
Unlike the battle that took nearly two months, it took only a few days to clean up the ravaged land.

By the principle of opposites, Shiron and his party turned the ruined colosseum back into dirt, and the uprooted trees were trimmed and gathered in one corner of the site.
The reason for processing the wood instead of replanting the trees was because of Hugo’s mansion.
“Sss...”
Shiron gazed bitterly at the mansion that once ‘boasted’ a splendid appearance.
Cracked stone walls.
Windows that completely vanished without a trace.
It seemed Eldrina had already taken action, as there wasn’t a single piece of broken glass left in the window frames, but unavoidable glass shards still lay scattered on the ground.
“Do we need to fix the windows too?”
“I, I don’t know. You told me to take down the barrier.”
Even Seira, who played a significant role in the restoration work, seemed to surrender, feeling that this task was beyond her. Though magic to create transparent ice like crystal existed, there was no magic in the world yet to create glass suitable for windows.
Seira could easily create crystals from thin air, but the mansion withstanding the expected shocks was already a miracle. Since the mansion had thousands of windows, it was not efficient for Seira to restore them all by herself.
“No one asked you to pay for it. First, let’s roughly clear away the glass shards and quickly call the artisans for repairs.”
“Shouldn’t we do it today? I feel an intense aura of anger from the top floor...”
Although Lucia didn’t look inside the mansion, she was sure the source of the anger was Eldrina and crouched down, hoping not to incur her wrath.
Of course, Eldrina didn’t have the power to instill fear in Lucia through strength, but having lived in the annex for years under Eldrina’s grace, Lucia felt she had to perform her duties as a child, not just nominally, but somewhat sincerely.
“Why is everyone like this? It’s just a minor thing that happened while saving the world. Don’t you think you’re all too scared? Stand proud and hold your heads high.”
“R-really?”
“Yes, really.”
Shiron patted the shoulders of the crumpled Seira and Lucia, continuing with a calm expression.
“And do you really think Eldrina is that narrow-minded?”
“I didn’t say that exactly, but...”
“Anyway, she might be a bit extreme when it comes to matters related to my uncle. Even if that’s the case, she won’t say anything. Besides, we have the spoils, so what’s there to worry about?”
Spoils.
This referred to the armor and hammer left behind by Korax.
A tiger left its skin when it died, and Korax left behind a massive golden armor.
The armor alone was easily three meters tall, and his hammer was also intact.
If sold at a good price, it would not only cover the mansion repairs but also repay Shiron’s debts with plenty left over.
‘...The golden giant should have remained.’
Unlike the remains left by Korax, the corpse of the fifth golden giant that attacked disappeared without leaving a speck of dust. If it had remained intact, they could have built a palace, not just repaired the mansion. Shiron was deeply regretful.
For an ordinary person, the demonic aura left behind would cause them to faint just by approaching, but it wasn’t a big problem for Shiron, who emitted holy power like a fountain.
“By the way, shouldn’t Lucia be preparing for school? Siriel’s graduation semester is approaching, and I’m not sure about her attendance.”
Shiron thought of Siriel, who had been called out by Hugo early in the morning.
Even though Siriel had declared that she would help Shiron, Siriel had her own duties and was busy, so Shiron sent Siriel to Hugo.
“...It’ll be fine.”
A resigned answer. Lucia sighed deeply and lowered her head.
“And it’s okay even if she doesn’t graduate, just completes the course. It’s not like she’s looking for a job in some government office. What’s the point of a degree?”
“Are you really okay with that? Didn’t you want to go to graduate school?”
“No, I’m not going. I’ve lost all interest after this incident.”
“Interest?”
“Yeah... Just like you said, I think wielding a sword suits me better.”
“My flower garden. Can you restore the flower garden that I lovingly tended for years?”
Confident answers followed. Eldrina’s face brightened more and more, but Shiron couldn’t give her the answer she wanted for the last question.
“...Saving the world requires sacrifices.”
Snap!
What was that sound? It wasn’t the sound of Eldrina’s nerves snapping. Eldrina threw the fan, now broken in two, behind her.
“...It’s a miracle no one died. The mansion almost collapsed... Anyway.”
“This too is thanks to your grace in allowing the battle in the mansion, Eldrina.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Thanks to your ocean-like magnanimity, humanity was able to maintain peace.”
Shiron bowed his head, giving all the credit to Eldrina.
Wasn’t there a saying that even whales dance when praised? If a few flattering words could calm Eldrina’s anger, Shiron could talk for hours. Whether his flattery worked or not, Eldrina waved her hand instead of using the fan.
“Ahem... It’s impossible to save everyone... Ahem... You’re not a god after all.”
“Thank you for understanding, Eldrina.”
“Yes, looking back, it’s silly to be so obsessed with a mere patch of grass.”
Eldrina’s smile wasn’t just in words. She walked over to Shiron, who was bowing his head, and gently hugged him.
“I’m so glad our son-in-law is safe.”
“...Eldrina?”
“Why are you calling me that? You should call me mother-in-law. Or mother is fine too.”
“...Can I keep calling you Eldrina?”
“Oh my, are you shy?”
Eldrina felt a nostalgic emotion at the sight of the bashful young man. Her husband, Hugo, had also been awkward with women and showed a similarly innocent side in his youth. Eldrina thought Shiron resembled Hugo in his younger days.
“It’s okay. What’s the problem when you’re going to get engaged anyway? Consider it a rehearsal. Right, dear?”
Eldrina turned to look at the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in a corner.
“...No.”
Hugo answered with his eyes tightly shut. Shiron wasn’t the only one waiting for him at the mansion; Eldrina was there too.
“I’m... against the marriage.”
“Oh, not again.”
“You said there was something surprising, so I came. If I had known it was this, I would have taken Siriel on an expedition instead.”
Hugo sat on the floor, glaring at the two betrayers.
He felt ridiculous for acting so childish at his age, but Hugo had no time to prepare mentally and felt wronged. If he had been told in advance, he wouldn’t have shown such an unseemly side. What was all this about?
“Honey, don’t be like that.”
Shiron tried to avoid Hugo’s piercing gaze, his whole body tense, but Eldrina approached Hugo with light steps, acting as if nothing was wrong.
“It’s not a marriage, just an engagement. Siriel isn’t going far.”
“...That’s not the issue at all, dear. I feel deeply betrayed. How could you decide without even telling me?”
“I was going to tell my uncle too, but as you know, the apostle...”
“Shiron.”
Hugo uncrossed his legs and stood up suddenly. A gust of wind blew in from the window. The red hairs on his increasingly bald head fluttered.
“It seems you are the one destined to lead the Sky Knights. Come with me to the Demon Realm. Glenn would probably want to see you too.”
“In my prophecy, Siriel is the one destined to lead the Sky Knights.”
“Shiron...”
“And I think I’m destined to marry Siriel.”
Leaving only those words, Shiron jumped out the window. It seemed ridiculous to do so in a tuxedo, but with Hugo blocking the door, he had no other choice.
