120 Episode 37. The power to erase the world, the power to sustain the world (4).

It took an hour for everyone to evacuate by the pre-seated sailboat.

The ship immediately began to cleave the sea toward Tikan, and the thirty or so remaining colonists had blank faces.

After the old god, 'Klam,' gave them a mission to defend the mirror.

More than 10,000 years have passed. Those who had been losers of the original era were reduced to powerless minorities and enslaved by the Zipple.

In the history of oppression and exploitation that has continued since then, it was impossible to even gauge how many colonists died unjustly.

"... ...but perhaps if you hadn't met Confucius Jean. We would have ended our meaningless lives without completing our mission. I'm glad the mirror finally reached Confucius' hand."

Tika approached Jean and bowed her head.

"No, if the Colons hadn't been able to hold out so far, it would have ended up in the hands of the Zipple. It's obvious how those madmen used it's obvious."

Jin actually experienced what a jipple was like in his previous life, getting a mirror.

'At the time, I thought you were just producing seven-star wizards, but according to Clam. The previous life's Zipple almost ended the world.’

The more people get mana through mirrors, the more loose the seal of solderlet becomes.

And if Clam's seal is broken, it means the world could be destroyed.

"As a result, I was able to meet myself and fulfill my mission thanks to the Colons. So don't blame yourself and think about your future life now, Tika. We will provide a home for the colonists in the Hufester Union."

"Dear Jean, aren't you a backup jockey now? As far as I know, Looncandel's backup rider is not getting help from his family."

Jin smiled as Dino, who followed him, spoke awkwardly.

"Journalist Dino, that part has a way, so don't worry. You just think about writing articles for the Colons now."

Jean wrote a letter.

The recipient is Luna Looncandel. Jean was thinking of sending the Colons to the land she personally manages. It was not until then that the safety of the colonists would be guaranteed.

Naturally, writing to Luna was a violation of the law as a reserve rider. From some day on, Jean doesn't care much.

"When we get to Tikan, the seven-colored bird will set up a route for us to smuggle. Then go to Luna's sister's land and see this letter, okay? Dino?"

"......thank you, Confucius Qin."

"If you're grateful, write the article hard. Tell me everything Zipple's ever done in Colon."

"There's some solid evidence and circumstances, so it's not difficult to publish an article. I'm worried about their media control."

Jean gave a strange smile.

"Are you the only one in the world who hates jipples? If you open the door, Looncandel and his allies' pens will bite together like mad dogs. As long as the evidence is clear, it's self-help."

No one in the world would be interested in Dino's story if he wrote it with his own heart.

With solid evidence and circumstantial evidence, Zipple's adversaries will somehow protect Dino and engage in public opinion campaigns.

If that happens, even Zipple could not harm Dino. It's impossible for them to assassinate a brave journalist who is "outside" pursuing justice and good.

"Oh... that's true, too. I didn't think about it."

"You're going to be a big reporter. Congratulations in advance, Dino Zaglan. There must be a lot of people trying to recruit you from right after you published the article, so choose where you're going to belong."

It was no different from the fact that Dino was waiting. It was not another family, but a journalist who could publicize the atrocities of the Jipple was really rare in the world.

"You didn't forget to leave out the names of me and my colleagues in the article, did you?"

"Of course, it was a passerby who saved Colon... He was a man of unknown ability. I'll fill it out like that. Of course no one would believe it, but the same goes for Confucius and his companions."

Jean nodded.

"Maybe when the articles start pouring in, they'll make a statement that all the evil deeds were Muron Zipple's personal deviation."

"Yes, I expect so, too."

"Blow up the parts of the Cosec that you've got as evidence then. Even a ship that symbolizes their absolute power has been destroyed like this, so where are you going to duck?”

But even so.

The loyalty of the public to the Jipple would not easily disappear. If you turn a little from the uncomfortable truth, the Jipple will release more money and fill the people of the magic federation with Ruthe.

Chin patted him lightly on the shoulder as Dino, who expected all the results, smiled bitterly.

"That alone is enough pleasure. If we keep on giving them one blow at a time, we'll see them finally sink."

"Until then, I will do my duty as a journalist and a friend of Colon's. Later... if Confucius Jean takes over the supremacy of Looncandel, please don't forget to write me."

"I'll look forward to it."

When Tikawa Dino retired, this time Jin found Talarias. She was waiting for Jean on the deck.

flirting with Murakan for some reason.

"I couldn't say hello properly because I didn't have a momentarily."

"That's enough greeting, Looncandel's youngest baby. You've done much more than I've heard from Kashmir."

"I didn't know they'd send white nights and koje. I'm afraid I'm the target of the Zipple."

"Huh, no. On the contrary, Kellyak thinks I've become stronger and will be more careful with the tragedy. It's hard to tell if it's me who overpowered the White Night and destroyed the project or an old god of unknown origin.”

It was the power of Klam to "manage all the mana in the world" that caused the project to be destroyed. The same is true of the fact that all the white-night sorceresses fainted in the reverse flow of mana.

"The Wizards of the White Night fainted at the same time as the old god descended. So I can't help but mistake them for my strength."

"I'm glad to hear that."

"And I was commissioned to work, wasn't I? It's been a while since I talked with such a handsome guy.”

Talaris pointed to Murakan and laughed.

"I was originally going to eat a lot of extra pay... Now that I have the information that the youngest of Looncandel was the contractor and the Magistrate of Solderlet. I'll let that pass.”

It was hard to read the sincerity of the smiling Tallaris.

'Fortunately, you're doing me a favor, but the palace has found out who I am too early.’

One day everyone in the world will know Jin's ability, but now I had to hide it as much as I could. If Talaris asks for a deal that's out of camp under the pretext of secrecy, we have no choice but to accept it for now.

'You can't start threatening me before I become a housekeeper.’

Now I am dealing with Jean as a good man, but there was nothing strange about Tallaris' attitude at any time.

Looncandel and Vigung are never allies.

But while Jean was hiding her signs of nervousness, Talaris had a completely different idea.

I think he's the perfect husband of Siris. Yeah, well, she's the youngest anyway, so there's very little chance that she'll be a barmaid.Let's meet with Ceron and have a little bit of a marriage.’

It is better to be the mistress of the palace and command the West Sea than to spend all the good days without being a housekeeper in that unprincipled and fierce Luncandel.

Talaris thought so.

Squeak.

Jean feels a strange chill when Talaris looks smiling.

"Well, then we'll go back. Come visit the palace with your handsome brother sometime soon."

Bo-Ong!

With the opening of the White Dimension Gate, the eyelid Mott was summoned onto the deck. He looks tired of frequent dimension movements, and his double eyelids look tired with big eyes.

When Talaris and Siris got on the mat, Jean saluted.

"On your way back, I'll send Kashmir to Tikan. He was locked up in prison, hoping he might have been playing tricks against the palace."

"Oh, please."

"Gin Looncandel."

The eyes of Jean and Siris touched.

"I hope next time we see each other, we'll be able to decide the outcome again. Don't even think of taking care of me under the pretext of today's work."

"Sorry, sorry. My daughter hasn't finished her puberty yet. See you later, then!"

Mott entered the portal, and the seven-colored sailboat glided toward Tikan.

* * *

It took me ten full spills to get back to Tikan. It was because they did not use the mobile gates in preparation for the tracking of the Jipple, but intentionally used various trade routes to collect trade goods.

"Prince Jean!"

The eyes of Kashmir, who ran out and camped out, were filled with tears.

"I don't know what to do if Confucius fails to fall out in the middle, but I don't know how nervous he was. I've heard through Lucas that Confucius escaped Colon without a hitch, but... I'm finally relieved to see you in person.”

"Lord Kashmir also suffered in prison in the palace. Thank you for your hard work."

"This nanny feels like she's walking a tightrope every time. I'm glad you came back safely again. There's no way to erase my disappointment. Why did you keep it a secret from me?”

"Huh? Gilly. What secret?”

"I mean, you were dating Yeong-ae of the palace. You don't know how sad I was to hear that from Lord Kashmir."

When I tilted my head at the nonsense, everyone else tilted their heads.

"Uh... no?"

"What the hell do you mean I'm dating Siris?"

"Surely Lord Kashmir... That's what I said to the princess."

Everyone's eyes turned to Kashmir.

"Oh, let me tell you what happened. At first, Talaris declared that he would not help Confucius who lost even after seeing the myth. And then Miss Siris asked me to go save her, and...….”

Daughter, do you happen to be Jean Looncandel? Do you like the kid?

That's not true, Mother.

Then why should I go to save that little boy even at the risk of fighting the Zipple? It doesn't matter if you just let him die. Or are you dating behind my back?

No! Can't you just go help me?

No, I don't want to. I'll just let you die.

Ha, Mother, I have to beat him.

Then admit, I like the boy.

Ha! Okay, I'll admit it, okay? Let's go!

That was the conversation between Talaris and Siris, heard just before Kashmir was put in jail. Kashmir was misunderstanding between Jean and Siris because of the conversation.

That's what Talaris said at the time just to tease his daughter.

Now, Jin and everyone, as well as everyone else, were unaware that Talaris was seriously thinking of proposing a marriage to Looncandel.
