Chapter 304
Jeong Mina lost both parents as soon as she was born, but she was adopted by a childless relative and grew up well.
Her adoptive parents were not bad parents.
Rather, they are overly good parents from the perspective of others.
They had a beautiful house on an expensive land.
A garden that the gardener has carefully taken care of.
Once a month, they went on a trip in the name of Mina’s hands-on learning.
Mina’s car was always waiting on her way home from school, and if there was no schedule, she went on a trip.
Growing up under adoptive parents, Mina did not know that she was lucky.
She was a child loved by people around her.
The teacher sometimes secretly called Mina and gave her workbooks and snacks, and she was always the center among her friends.
Looking back now, she had a happy childhood.
Mina’s misfortune happened during her class president election when she was in elementary school.
She had a close friend who she had been with all day at school, and one day he started avoiding Mina.
Her parents said he did that because he was depressed due to his family circumstances.
Mina called her friend after school and said harshly.
“I know you’re upset because of your family circumstances, but it’s not right to avoid friends.”
“…….”
“Let’s get along well again. No matter what your situation is, I’m your friend.”
“…….”
“We will have lunch together again tomorrow, okay?”
“…… No.”
“What? I said I don’t care about your situation!”
“I just don’t want to be with you……”
“… Huh?”
The child, who grabbed his pants tightly, looked at Mina.
“You always do whatever you want..….”
“…….”
“I don’t want to play soccer or dodgeball. I want to play games, but I have to go play with you all the time, and if I don’t, they’ll scold me.….”
“You are mean.”
“What?”
“Then you should’ve said no. You hated me and pretended to be friends. How can you be so mean?”
“…….”
“But I’ll forgive you. People say that we grow up by making mistakes. So, let’s be friends again.”
“All the other kids do too.”
“What?”
“Everyone else is like that too. The teacher, too!”
The boy screamed.
“It’s because if we fight with you, your mom will give other moms a hard time. Jeongmin said that the teacher adores you because they received money!”
“Don’t lie!”
Both of them ended up fighting.
Only after the teacher came did the two seperate.
And he was the only one who got in trouble.
Since then, she had many doubts.
‘Is my world real?’
Wasn’t it a world created by her adoptive parents?
It was after Mina’s stepfather was put in prison that she knew the speculation was true. Under the face of her stepfather, who appeared in the news, there was a caption about embezzlement.
Her sweet world has fallen apart.
A house like a palace turned into a shabby villa, and there was no more kindness from her teachers or friends.
Her house that used to be filled with snacks was now filled with alcohol.
When she came back home, she always smelled alcohol. Her heavily drunk mother grabbed Mina’s face and drank.
“My pretty baby. My Mina, you look just like me.”
Mina shook off her arm roughly and shouted.
“We’re not related. Why am I your baby?”
She fell down, couldn’t say anything, and stared blankly at Mina.
Mina was sick and tired of her situation.
She threw her bag and ran out of the house. She wandered aimlessly for a long time but there was nowhere to go.
‘This is not my world.’
The world she wants, the real world of hers, is elsewhere.
She sat squatting on the river bank and cried for a long time before falling asleep.
And in her dreams…….
“Crying again. What should I do with this crybaby?”
“If you are tired, you can rest.”
“Mina.”
“Mina.”
And…
“I’ll give you my name. No misfortune or hardship will flood your daily life in the future. Mina Amity.”
She learned that there is a real world of hers.
Her real world is heart-warming.
“Ahhhh-!!”
It was painful as if her whole body was torn apart. Her field of view is all red, and the Leblaine in front of her is blurry.
Leblaine grabbed her collar roughly.
“Ahh!”
Beep beep-
A sound crossed the minds of the two.
Silence has come to the world.
***
When I opened my eyes, it was bright.
As I looked around, I saw a girl who had collapsed on the floor getting up.
“Here…….”
The child who looks very much like Mina.
I hurriedly looked down at my body.
‘I become young too.’
Mina, who was fixing her hair, saw me.
“You, no way… Leblaine?”
“Stay still.”
I looked around again.
‘That’s it.’
It was the space of light where Serga and Neliard met in my dreams.
Here, Serga was covered in a shabby robe, and Neliard’s face was invisible.
“God’s space…”
It wasn’t that I could put Neliard’s soul on my mother’s body Mina occupied.
‘The body that inherited the blood of Neliard was a passage to God’s space.’
It wasn’t a dream that I came to this space the other day.
I, who had my mother’s blood, was also a descendant of Neliard.
That’s why I came to God’s space through my own body before.
Mina frowned.
“What are you talking about? Where in the world did you bring me!”
“Shut your mouth.”
“You…”
Mina, who was glaring at me fiercely, clenched her teeth.
“How long are you going to disturb me?”
“I’m organizing my thoughts, so please don’t bother me and stay still.”
“I tried to understand you.”
“Are you trying to understand me by doing the summoning ritual again? Don’t be silly.”
“It was for the world.”
I took a deep breath with my head down and looked at Mina.
“I’m sure there was a time like that. But not now. You tried to summon only for yourself. It wasn’t for the world.”
“Are you saying I’m the bad girl now?”
“Can’t you just shut up?”
“Leblaine!”
“What!!”
When I shouted louder than Mina, she gasped.
I waved my hands and looked into my pockets.
‘Communication device, communication…’
Then…
Bang!
A condensed circle of divine power flew past my cheeks.
The caster was Mina.
Blood drips down from my cheeks.
“I made up my mind now. I won’t lose anything to you anymore. I will bring back my precious people who you have made evil.”
After touching the blood with my fingertips, I slowly looked at Mina.
“… You started first?”
“What?”
I rushed to Mina at once.
She screamed and was laid under me.
“Move!”
“If you told me to get out of the way, would that be a fight?”
And slap!
Mina, who was slapped by me, trembled.
“You… you……!”
“I’ve been in a lot of fights in the back alleys for 10 years!”
“This……!”
I suppressed Mina’s arm with my divine power.
‘I thought I couldn’t use it.’
I was a little worried because the vent was blocked by the contract with Gremory, but I knew I could when I saw Mina, who was in worse shape than me, use it.
In this space, divine power may be used without limitation.
Mina who had a pope-level divine power was bound to have more, but I had the upper hand when it came to a space where the divine power could be used without restrictions.
Mina tapped my back with her knee.
“I won’t let you go!”
“This is really…!”
Just then,
“Child.”
A man’s voice was heard.
Serga, covered in a shabby robe, was looking at us from afar.
As Serga floated in the air, my body floated up in an instant, and Serga approached me.
When I opened my eyes wide, Serga smiled and stroked my red cheeks.
“You are truly a soul full of power, both now and then.”
“She hit me first!”
As I said that, Serga looked at Mina while holding me in his arms.
Mina looked at Serga with trembling eyes.
“You are…….”
In an instant, Mina’s body flew in the opposite direction.
“A creature of another world god.”
“…….”
“If you touch my child again, it won’t end with a warning.”
“… You are not God Neliard. Are you the evil God?”
After that,
“Serga.”
A chillingly low voice rang in this space.
The gathered darkness soon became the shape of a person, and a very familiar man appeared.
“Neliard.”
Mina’s expression brightened up when I muttered.
The moment she was running toward Neliard…
Neliard walked past her and approached me.
“Come here, Leblaine.”
Mina looked at Neliard that passed by her with an expression of disbelief.
