Just as there is a World Cup on Earth, festivals that refresh the atmosphere and boost people’s morale are needed in any world.

Recently, there was no content like a festival that everyone could enjoy to comfort the people of Aurelia, who had repeatedly experienced difficult events.

Carlos and the great sage just decided to hold a festival to coincide with the burning of the saint that everyone hates.

It was intended that everyone would drink and dance together and forget about everything for just one day, but not everyone was in favor of it.

The night before the party—the wise men quarreled.

This is because it was controversial that the great sage would host the opening ceremony of the festival.

“Ah~ There aren’t any usable achievements, but you seem to be busy preparing for the party, our great sage. You can’t catch Faust, you can’t catch an elf, you don’t even know what happened to the Four Heavenly Kings, but you want to have a party? I don’t know what to do.”

Everin Dragonir, who has recently been vocal about criticizing Minerva, has fueled another controversy.

Minerva turned her back as if she didn’t want to face her. This meant asking Helen to stop it instead.

Helen Walker understood the great sage’s intentions and intervened.

“It is about giving vitality to people who are struggling. Because of this, people’s minds are broken before they even fight Faust.”

“ha ha ha. So, in the end, talking about the co-destruction of Gerena and Faust was bullshit? You want to fight Faust now?”

“Isn’t that what you meant from the beginning, not from now on? And I got information that a big fight took place on the demon continent not too long ago. Faust may have died in that fight.”

“It’s running the happy circuit again, hehehe. What would you really do if Faust broke in during the party?”

“If you’re that concerned, don’t join the party!”

Minerva herself, who could not stand it, burst into anger.

She, too, was getting tired of Evererin tackling what she was doing.

“You stand guard wherever you want. The Arnine Festival is an ambitious project prepared by me and King Carlos, so no further interference will be tolerated.”

“What’s up?”

“If you complain any further, I will consider it a challenge to me.”

“Huh… increasingly… ?”

“Would you like to stick with me?”

A hideous aura stretched out like tentacles from Minerva’s slender frame.

It was clear evidence that he was in a state of war.

“There’s nothing I can’t do.”

It was Sia Diethardt who stopped Everin, who rushed forward as if to give it a shot.

The blind saintess drew a line and said that infighting would never happen.

“Then, we, the Five Wise Men, will each scatter to the east, west, south, and north to guard the border. As soon as you spot the enemy, send a signal right away. Great sage, please come to the opening ceremony and soothe the hearts of the weary people.”

“Well… I get it, Sia. I ask you guys.”

“but… ”

“but?”

Shia Diethardt took out the other sages and left a warning in a voice that was colder than usual.

“We cannot prepare for enemies flying from the sky, so if Faust, who possesses the power of the Dragon King, attacks from the air, the great sage-nim should know that he must face it alone.”

The great sage dismissed the concerns by saying, “There is no problem.”

In fact, Minerva thought that she was relieved to be free from the annoying sages for the first time in a while.

After seriously examining concerns about invasion, rather than deciding “It’s okay,” it’s “Perhaps it’s okay. Could it be that you will come tomorrow?”

Wise men are really annoying and self-centered human beings.

It’s easy to get into an argument even when we get together, so I’m stressed out as I’m arguing with people I haven’t seen for decades every day.

The festival tomorrow, the people are also the people, but it was also necessary for Minerva to change her mood.

“Whoa… Really. I think my head is about to crack. Why can’t they understand what they’re talking about? Is it a problem to have fun just for one day? At least these guys seem to have come to their senses.”

—The great sage laughed with satisfaction as he read Tiffania and Alice’s report that they would put on a play for the opening ceremony.

The next morning they were summoned to the Great Wisdom Room and interviewed Minerva.

“I read the script you sent me well. It was a wonderful piece of work. Solidify the negative perception of Faust, the main enemy of mankind, and break the hearts of the people who are blocked! It’s a script that will break through.”

“Ah, thank you, great sage. This is a work that Tiffania and I put all our heart and soul into.”

“We’ve been close to Faust, so we know how vicious and vicious he is.”

The great sage nodded, saying he was right, but his expression suddenly darkened.

“It would be great if Beatrice did as well in society as you did. Hard-nosed people always end badly. Phew… ”

“there… After all, is Beatrice really being burned at the stake? Is there any way to survive?”

Alice, who barely survived after being treated by the saintess, raised her hand awkwardly and asked.

The great sage shook his head resolutely.

“Okay now… Less than an hour left. There is nothing you can do about it if you do not reflect until the end. At least I asked the innocent people to admit that they made the mistake of asking Faust to apologize, but they are refusing to do so.”

“No, why is Beatrice doing this? I do not understand.”

“what… Brainwashing? Did you get hurt too?”

“There is a possibility. If that’s the case, Beatrice is also pitiful. Because he was mentally manipulated by Faust and didn’t even know what he was talking about, he was burned to death when he was insane. But even so, there is no way to prove it, and I don’t know where the people’s anger will go if they stop burning at the stake now.”

““… … … … … .””

Alice and Tiffania lowered their heads and exchanged uncomfortable glances.

Beatrice is a friend, but to have to watch her burn to death like this.

However, no matter how much I thought about it, there was no sharp way, and the great sage also warned them not to eat nonsense.

“From now on, Beatrice will be officially branded as an [Evil]. “The demonic Beatrice is a nasty criminal who conspired with Faust to prey on mankind” is an announcement that will spread to the world, and it is a truth that we must believe. Keep in mind that if you act suspiciously out of sympathy for your friend, you too could be in danger.”

“Yes, Great Sage… ””

“Apart from that, I must be looking forward to today’s play.”

Alice and Tiffania bowed in greeting and left the room.

Now it was time for them to get busy preparing for the play.

While checking the smiling faces of the busily coming and going people outside the window, the Great Sage reminded himself that this party planned by himself and King Carlos was the right choice.

‘This festival will end with everyone having fun and laughing. Everyone will be able to sleep well tonight.’

She adjusted her clothes and went up to the podium at the appointed time to announce the start of the opening ceremony.

Tens of thousands of people flocking to find something to enjoy were looking up at her.

From aristocrats in uniforms and dresses to slingshots clad in dirty cloth, everyone was looking forward to the festival, regardless of social status.

The great sage said in a cheerful voice.

“Thank you to all the distinguished guests who gathered. You can’t even call me a high treason today, no, a human anymore. It’s the day of the burning ceremony of the Demon Veronica Beatrice! Colonel Beatrice!”

In line with the command of the great sage, the pole to which Beatrice was tied jumped out like a spring.

Everyone glared with resentment at the face of the demons, who disguised themselves as saints and hatedly deceived mankind.

Beatrice was already so badly injured that her features were unrecognizable even before she lit the fire. It was a trace of the guards beating them for fun.

With both swollen eyes, a crooked nose, and both front teeth missing, the once beautiful woman had turned into a very funny figure.

I thought I would die of sepsis if left alone.

The great sage, on behalf of the people, exchanged questions and answers with Beatrice for the last time.

“Beatrice. Do you have any intention of apologizing for betraying humanity and becoming Faust’s spy?”

“Wow!”

Saliva mixed with blood flew from the sky and landed on the great sage’s forehead.

Even though there were tens of thousands of people, no sound was heard.

Everyone just watched the reaction of the great sage with a lot of tension while maintaining silence.

“… heh Whoops… I thought I’d give you one last chance because I still have old feelings.”

Minerva cried out to the torch-bearing soldiers as she wiped her spittle with her glove.

“Light it up! Because the surest way to kill demons is by burning them! It will be a good education for the children!”

The straw under the sotdae caught fire. Burning at the stake was now inevitable.

“Yahooo!!”

“I’ve been waiting for this moment!”

“Devils die!”

“You must be born as a good person in the future!”

“I heard that a demonic baby was conceived in Beatrice’s belly. The baby will die too?!”

“I have to kill the demons in my stomach. Eight!”

People started picking up pebbles and stones from the streets and throwing them.

Everyone knows that he will die anyway if left alone, but it was just for fun.

With the ignition of colorful fireworks, the play that people have been waiting for has begun.

Alice and Tiffania went up on the platform where Minerva went down.

“Alice… Tiffania… quit… ”

Beatrice squeezed out the last of her strength and said to her old comrades.

“What are you trying to do… You don’t have to do that.”

“Poem, how noisy you demons!!”

Alice drew out a knife and pointed it at Sotdae, shouting.

I had made up my mind to cut myself off from Beatrice before going up to the podium, wondering if something like this would ever happen.

In the future, it is inevitable to lose money in order to live and feed in human society… while convincing himself that

Of course, I wasn’t comfortable with it.

“Ooh, cheating on us! You are not our comrades! Us… We are the proud party members of Kwak Dong-soo. To fall for Faust’s tricks and scorn us! You don’t deserve to be a saint!”

“under… hahahaha… okay. You’ve decided to live like that. Then do whatever you want… uh… ”

Beatrice smiled bitterly and closed her eyes. It was because I no longer planted dirty things in my eyes.

Tiffania began explaining the synopsis of the play to the audience.

“Hi everyone. We have prepared a play based on a true story. I expressed the final battle of Kwak Dong-soo, a warrior who bravely resisted the evil demon Faust until the end, in a play.”

“As you know, Kwak Dong-soo and Faust were summoned together from Earth, but because Kwak Dong-soo was so good, Faust was left as a spare. Faust, who had a small bowl, kept it in his heart, then lied that Kwak Dong-soo was dead and usurped the position of the hero.”

“Of course, Kwak Dong-soo realized that belatedly and applied for a duel. Faust was too weak to be a match for Kwak Dong-soo, but cowardly, with the help of an elf named Mischa Greenwood, he won a mean victory. Today I’ll play Misha Greenwood, a stupid elf controlled by Faust. Please enjoy watching.”

＜I don’t know about the other kids, but I can’t admit that you’re a child of the world tree… ＞

“what? Who just said what?”

＜I will kill you myself. How dare you insult the master… ＞

“to? Who are you now?”

Tiffania circled back and forth, chasing the source of the voice, but could not find anyone with an open mouth.

Everyone was in spectator mode and quietly watching the play, and Alice, who was on the podium with her, tilted her head, saying, “Why is that?”

“It’s strange. Who was the person who just said he would kill me?”

“What are you talking about, Tiffania? Let’s not talk nonsense and start playing quickly. It starts with the scene where she cries that she doesn’t want to go out with Faust.”

“ah… what was the dialogue? “no! To be the elf of a buzzard like Faust! I wanted to invite a wonderful person like Kwak Dong-soo!”

＜Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill… ＞

“No, who keeps talking to me!!”

—the growing voice unnerved Tiffania.

It’s as if the owner of the voice is getting closer… .
