Chapter 12 : The first ride at the amusement park

A fool has died.

A person who hated fighting but would jump in without hesitation if there was something to protect.

A person who selflessly gave away what they had for strangers they had never met, and in the end, even sacrificed their life for everyone…

Such an absurd fool has died.

Finally, the gate closed.

The disaster that tormented everyone completely disappeared.

People cheered and sincerely welcomed the hard-won peace.

It had been 20 years.

The time she had vowed revenge after losing her power and falling into this world.

The time it took to destroy the source of those who had made her this way, the gate.

And…

The time she had spent with the fool.

Ria, who had been sharpening the blade of revenge by the fool’s side,
Plunged that blade into her own heart without hesitation when he died.

Purgatory.

Niflheim. Valhalla.

Asphodel.

Elysium.

Ria, who had searched every corner of the afterlife, finally stopped walking.

There, the fool she was looking for was there.

The sanctuary of the goddess who governs Elysium.

The goddess, who was peacefully reading a book, was shaken by the unexpected encounter.

“Oh my, why are you here…”

“Where’s my senior?”

The goddess closed her book and stood up.

“Senior, you mean….”

“You know.”

The goddess quietly stared at her.

A brief silence flowed, and the goddess slightly raised the corners of her lips.

“Unexpected. I thought you would head straight to hell.”

“Where is my senior?”

The goddess sighed softly at her persistent attitude.

She was someone who would surely turn the sanctuary upside down if she wasn’t told.

But…

‘Oh, what should I do….’

The goddess recalled how she had changed him and broke out in a cold sweat.

“He’s in the vacant lot I prepared… but, well, how should I put it? I don’t know if you’ll be able to recognize him…”

“What?”

Ria’s voice sank coldly.

Ria approached the goddess and grabbed her hair with all her might.

“Ah!”

“What did you do to my senior?”

“It’s a misunderstanding! I just granted his wish!”

“Wish?”

Ria’s eyes narrowed sharply.

A little more force was put into the hand gripping her hair.

“It hurts! It hurts!”

“What did my senior wish for?”

“That, that’s….”

The goddess, who had read his memories, knew that
He had secretly hidden the fact that he liked cute things.

……………Selling someone else’s secret to save my own skin is a bit….

As the goddess hesitated, the last remaining mercy evaporated from Ria’s grasp.

“Eek! My hair is coming out!”

“Speak.”

Ria’s voice became even lower and filled with murderous intent.

The goddess bit her lip, not knowing what to do.

Finally, after desperately 고민하다, the goddess offered a compromise.

“Ask him yourself! I’ll send you over there!”

“Good.”

Ria released the goddess’s hair.

The goddess stroked her throbbing head and carefully replied.

“Um, I’ll send you, but… um… senior’s appearance is a little….”

“Appearance what?”

“…Well, how should I put it? He’s changed a bit. No, maybe a lot.”

The end of the goddess’s words trailed off.

As Ria’s eyes turned fierce,
The goddess hurriedly covered her head and shouted.

“It’s not like I wanted to do it! He wanted it!”

“…My senior?”

“Yes! Really!”

The goddess sobbed and continued.

“So please, can’t you just go? I’ll send you nearby right away….”

“Fine…. Ah, before that.”

“Yes, yes?”

The goddess swallowed hard.

What was that terrifying woman going to say now?

All sorts of worst-case scenarios flashed through her head.

“Elysium is a paradise for the good, so there must have been a reward accordingly.”

“…T, that’s right?”

“I also contributed to saving the world, so shouldn’t I get something too?”

“……T, to you?”

The goddess couldn’t hide her embarrassment and asked back in a daze.

Then Ria gritted her teeth.

The goddess, succumbing to it, bowed 90 degrees and shouted.

“I, I’ll give it to you!”

“Good.”

“B, but what do you want….”

Ria smiled for the first time and opened her mouth.

“Make sure no one loves my senior as a lover and tries to possess him.”

“……Pardon?”

“Isn’t that how everyone is? They try to possess you because they love you, and they try to monopolize you. They can’t stand having someone else nearby.”

Ria’s smile turned chilling, and her eyes turned cold in an instant.

“How dare humans. Make sure nothing can separate my senior from me. The only thing that can separate me from my senior is his heart.”

“U, um. Elysium is a paradise of love and peace. That’s a bit….”

“……You can’t do it?”

The murderous intent that Ria emitted was entirely directed at the goddess.

The goddess shrank her shoulders at the pressure and struggled to speak.

“W, well, what should I say? I don’t think there’s anyone who would try to take him even if I didn’t do that.”

“…Are you looking down on my senior as a huge, ignorant, muscle-brained virgin?”

“I never thought that far!”

The goddess said flusteredly, sweating profusely.

“More than anything, I think his own will is the most important! What if he loves someone else…!”

“Senior can’t love.”

“…Yes?”

“You know because you peeked into his memories, right? The deal I made with senior.”

Ria smiled proudly.

The smile was filled with her own conviction, but there was a hint of bitterness.

“I swallowed all of senior’s affections. I recovered my strength by using that as nourishment.”

“…You swallowed his affections?”

“Yes. Senior doesn’t love anyone. He can’t. So there’s no way he’ll be troubled by that.”

The goddess couldn’t speak and stared at Ria in shock.

“…What on earth. What did he want that he gave that up?”

“Something insignificant. That I eat well three meals a day and live with a smile.”

“……What?”

“That’s all. Isn’t he a really foolish human?”

Yes.

He was the most foolish human among those she had met over her long life.

He could have just ignored a girl covered in blood and thrown into the ruins.

He went out of his way to lend a hand and help her.

He sacrificed his own feelings to save a child he didn’t even know.

In the end, he smiled and said, ‘I hope you live well for my sake too’….

He was more pure than anyone else, and more foolish than anyone else.

“Senior probably secretly wanted that too. There were often people who expressed feelings for senior, but he felt sorry that he couldn’t recognize those feelings.”

“…Vellia. You’ve changed quite a bit.”

“Well, I lived by the fool’s side for 20 years.”

She had watched her for a long time, but she was different from what the goddess knew.

She was convinced that she was no longer the destructive and ruthless demon god of the past.

The goddess smiled softly and folded her hands.

“I understand. Demon God Vellia. As the managing god of Elysium, I will grant your wish.”

“Really?”

“Yes. So hurry up and go to him. I’ll open the way for you.”

A sacred light was created around Ria.

The light gently enveloped her and opened the way to the depths of Elysium.

Ria, who had quietly closed her eyes, suddenly opened them wide.

“Ah, if you do anything weird to senior, I’ll—”

“Hurry up and go! And don’t ever come back!”

The goddess, looking at the place where Ria had disappeared, stroked her chest and shuddered.

Ria hugged the dumbfounded senior like a teddy bear and thought.

‘……What on earth is senior’s wish?’

Ria looked down at the little girl who was limply in her arms.

The being in front of her was definitely the senior she knew.

But that appearance was so different from her memories.

Because her senior, who was over 2 meters tall, had turned into a tiny girl.

Besides, even his actions and speech had become cute.

‘Senior wanted this?’

Ria stared at her senior with confused eyes for a moment, then glanced around.

From the entrance that looked like it came out of a horror movie to the ominous-looking tower.

And even the scary rabbit monsters that were scary to see in dreams.

No matter how much she racked her brain, she couldn’t figure out what was going on.

What was certain was that the changed senior was very cute and lovely.

And….

Those damn rabbits were trembling as they looked at her.

‘Those things.’

The moment Ria looked at the rabbit and made a gesture of slitting her throat with her thumb.

“Ria.”

“Yes? What’s wrong, senior?”

“…Come to think of it, why did you hit the rabbit?”

Senior’s eyes narrowed.

Ria, who was facing the gaze that was piercing her, swallowed hard.

“…Giant rabbit, cotton came out of its neck.”

“U, um….”

“I worked hard to make them very, very cute kids….”

“……T, that’s, you see.”

Ria sweated profusely and stammered.

Although he was smaller, his eyes were still sharp, which made her feel even more difficult.

‘…What should I do? If I stay like this, senior will hate me.’

Ria quickly racked her brain.

And she remembered something and quickly spoke.

“Actually, there’s an evil group outside that slanders those rabbits!”

“What?!”

“They incited me to get rid of those rabbits!”

“Whaaaat?!”

The secret technique she had learned while living among humans.

The so-called, passing the buck to someone else.

‘It’s not a lie. How dare they treat what senior made with such care as a monster.’

Ria clenched her fist tightly as she thought so.

She had long forgotten that she had treated the rabbits as monsters.

Already in her head, the rabbits were,

It had turned into a very cute and lovely masterpiece and treasure that senior had created.

“Not only that, but this place that senior made, Dun…”

“My amusement park too?!”

“……They’re even trying to destroy the utterly lovely amusement park!”

Senior’s eyes widened even more.

Soon, senior pouted his lips and trembled.

‘Cuteeeee♡’

Just when she was barely suppressing the urge to sniff and sniff,
Senior clenched his small fist and shouted.

“We can’t let this happen!”

“That’s right. You’re right. I’ll get rid of it right now.”

“Yeah! I’m going to draw a merry-go-round!”

“……Pardon?”

Ria froze at Senior’s sudden declaration.
