Chapter 592: Key player (3)

‘What bullshit are you talking about? Did you just cancel the plan altogether, you crazy bastards? What the fuck.’

[A Common-grade forced quest has been activated.]

[I’m sorry, belie…believer Lee Kiyoung. But we couldn’t help it, either. We’ve updated the new dungeon, and there are many sacred things to do… as I’m sure you already know… it didn’t take long after we recovered from bankruptcy that we had to use our divinity. I couldn’t afford it in many ways. Do you know how large the divinity that goes into influencing the continent is? (0/1)]

‘Yes, I know that. But if you had plans to do that right from the beginning, shouldn’t you have talked to me first? Did you do this shit even though you know I’m waiting for him?’

[No. I-It’s not like that, my lovely believer Lee Kiyoung. I really didn’t know. I kept thinking that I had to tell you, but I couldn’t find the timing… I’ve been busy trying to fix other you know. The hole made by the 27th Corps hadn’t been completely filled yet… and all of our divinity is being concentrated there… (0/1)]

‘Is that your excuse, Goddess Benignore? I don’t know how much divinity is necessary to create a warrior… but you can’t cancel it just like that. What the hell is going on above in the first place? You should take care of things using a different method. Suppose there is money to invest, first you have to pick which business to invest in. Then you’ll have to calculate how much money is left. What about the long-term plan? Shouldn’t you know how to deal with the aftereffects? No, shouldn’t the first thing to think about exactly where to invest? Do you think that spending divinity to cause changes is enough?’

[That’s… (0/1)]

‘Do you even conduct meetings? I think little kids in the neighborhood can manage the continent better than you do. Fuck, fuck, fuck! Invest in the right place. If you’re uncertain, fucking ask me. Shit… Damn it. I know you’re tired too, but that’s exactly why you can’t keep doing things like that. I remember that I earned quite a bit of divinity as well. Isn’t it impossible to get results as bad as this unless you go somewhere nice with the corporate card? Benignore, let me ask you this. You’re not making me earn for you just so you can spend it all on something useless, right?’

[Of course not! That’s absolutely not the case, believer Lee Kiyoung. That’s absolutely not… a-and don’t say anything scary like getting bored… I-it makes me nervous. You know how much I love and care for Lee Kiyoung, right? You also know that I only have you… So don’t think about anything weird… we should calmly…. (0/1)]

‘If Benignore were in my situation right now, would you be able to sit comfortably? I’d rather call Belial again.’

[A Common-grade forced quest has been activated.]

[But we really couldn’t help it… L-Lee Kiyoung is more influential in the present world, and what we do really consumes a tremendous amount of power… Why wouldn’t we have a long-term plan? I’m not blaming you, but changing you into the Alchemist of Light… made… me… unable to afford it, and because of the various events that had transpired, there our long-term plans to collapse… All of our divine powers had been depleted… (0/1)]

‘So it’s my fault now? Belial gave me the Semi-Myth-grade class as a gift, like you.’

[Belial and I are very… different. Because of the hole in the continent… (0/1)]

‘Yes, keep talking like that, and I’ll stop working with you. I’m serious.’

[… (0/1)]

‘…’

[A-Actually… I didn’t want to say this, but… (0/1)]

‘…’

[A Common-grade forced quest has been activated.]

[E-Elune made a big mistake. That also caused us to derail from our plans. I really didn’t want to say anything… sigh… (0/1)]

[A Rare-grade forced quest has been activated.]

[Benigno… what the hell… what? (0/1)]

[For unknown reasons, the rare-grade forced quest has been canceled.]

[A Common-grade forced quest has been activated.]

[Since it’s you, I’m sure you’ll understand that we’re not perfect either… I know you’re well aware of that. Elune causes a lot of accidents, which results in a lot of problems. In fact, this time, the plan for training warriors was completely canceled… because Elune’s personal project wasn’t going well… and in an attempt to fix it… there was no choice but to have a setback. (0/1)]

‘…’

[We know, of course, that the training plan is important… However, the continental balance would be in danger of collapsing if we didn’t fix what Elune did right away. We had no choice… I can’t just look at it from the perspective of the one in charge. You also have experience governing humans from the peak, so… I’m sure you understand. (0/1)]

‘…’

[Although I have already finished talking internally to impose appropriate discipline on Elune… it wouldn’t be enough for you, right? You know that Elune is a bit… (0/1)]

‘Elune trash…’

[Yes… Elune trash. Wouldn’t it be hard for me? Still, he’s my junior… I can’t just ignore it at all… he’s just a bit of a handful, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t invest in the continent’s future at all. Thanks to him, the elven faction had been stabilized… (0/1)]

‘So…’

[I want to kick him out, but… that would be too much… and I can’t actually do that… Of course, if my beloved Lee Kiyoung wishes, I could punish him with the worst, but I think that would just cause the chaos to become bigger. He’s also a personally cherished junior… I know I shouldn’t do this, though… (0/1)]

‘Sigh…’

[All I can say is… that I’m sorry. Ugh… I’m sorry… I’m really sorry, believer Lee Kiyoung. (0/1)]

I couldn’t help myself from grabbing my head tightly. In fact, I had already predicted that Elune would cause trouble someday.

As the saying went, if five humans gathered together, there had to be one trash. That must’ve also been common above, and Elune was that trash.

‘Yes, there’s no way she could manage things like this.’

Even though Benignore was incompetent, there was no way she could be that useless.

Above, she was a god who was in a rather senior position and a Goddess trusted by juniors. Considering I had a say on the matters, even though Benignore took the lead whenever something happened, it would be unreasonable to say that the incident took place due to her mere incompetence.

She couldn’t have thrown everything I had earned for her without thinking. Benignore, whom I trusted in my own way… fuck, couldn’t be so incompetent.

‘Yeah, she can’t be.’

Perhaps it was an unexpected event from her perspective. Just as I had taken care of the accidents caused by Jung Hayan and the revolutionary three siblings, Benignore might’ve been struggling to fix Elune’s accident.

It wasn’t strange that, for some reason, I could relate to her.

‘I can’t help, but… you shouldn’t be too shaken. You can’t, Benignore.’

[Are you… trying to comprehend me, my lovely believer Lee Kiyoung? (0/1)]

‘Don’t be led by affection, and be a little firmer. If you are going to carry such a penalty, you must at least have an advantage that corresponds to that penalty. The way I see it, Elune trash doesn’t have that advantage. His only leverage is that he is fixedly receiving divine power from the elves. There’s just that.’

[Yes… I know very well what you’re talking about, Lee Kiyoung. I’ll take it to heart. (0/1)]

‘You need to be firm. From now on, if possible, exclude Elune trash from all tasks. Everything else doesn’t matter… As you know, the current situation can take a turn for the worst if there’s even just one don’t want to see Elune trash rushing to do something and making a mess out of it. Never leave anything to him. Do you understand?’

[Yes… I will definitely do that from now on. Since it’s your advice, of course, it would be wise to follow it. It’s all constructive, after all. (0/1)]

‘I want you to focus on maintaining the status quo the most. That’s it. Ah… Elune, that bastard… really.’

[A Common-grade forced quest has been activated.]

[Elune is also deeply reflecting on it… yes… (0/1)]

‘Still, from now on, completely exclude him from work.’

[B-but t-that’s too much… (0/1)]

‘If people who can’t work are snooping around, it makes them want to do something. Should I be a little more direct? Take away Elune’s desk. If I catch that trash doing anything, I’ll cut ties with you and take everyone to hell.’

[I… I’ll do that. (0/1)]

‘In addition, think about what you have to do next. I’ll check if there’s another way around this as much as I can.’

[A Common-grade forced quest has been activated.]

[Yes… we’re already having meetings day and night about which direction to go for so that we can tell you some good news sooner or later… We’ll try our best as well. T-Thank you for believing in me, my lovely light, the only hope of the continent, believer Lee Kiyoung. (0/1)]

‘Sigh… fuck.‘

Silence ensued. I continue to grab my head.

She said that she would try to come up with some good news, but the best news I could’ve gotten was, in fact, the news that the hero was found in the tutorial dungeon.

It’s been a long time since all of my happiness circuits had been burned out. I couldn’t get a sense of how the hell I should cover up his vacancy.

‘Shit.’

There was no way, just like how there was no substitute for Jung Hayan or Kim Hyunsung.

‘Then the warrior…’

I wasn’t certain, but he must’ve died in the tutorial dungeon.

‘That bastard is also pitiful.’

A talent with a guaranteed future died in the tutorial dungeon without receiving the holy sword due to Elune trash’s mistake. I didn’t know how he died, but I wasn’t really interested in it either.

Regardless of whether he encountered some murders or died surrounded by monsters while traveling, it didn’t change the fact that he was already dead.

“Kiyoung.”

“…”

“Kiyoung.”

“…”

“Kiyoung.”

“Yes?”

“Are you okay? S-Suddenly…”

“Oh, I’m fine. I was thinking about something… You have nothing to worry about. Where were we?”

“We’re trying to find out if there is a way…”

“…”

“Are you really okay?”

“Ah, yes, we are. I’m sorry.”

“…”

“…”

“Um, Kiyoung.”

“Yes?”

“Perhaps… um… perhaps…”

“You can talk.”

“No… It’s nothing… it’s nothing.”

He was biting down on his lips tightly as his arms intermittently trembled, but above all, his face was filled with anger.

‘Yes, Hyunsung. Why wouldn’t you be angry? I completely understand you.’

Even the kind-hearted Kim Hyunsung felt outraged by the incomprehensible situation.
