I am not a returner Episode 388


    Star of Reverse Heaven (1)


    “Finally…”


    In front of the entrance, Oh Jin had tears in his eyes with an expression full of emotion.


    The entire time I brought Isabe from Pyongyang, I had to deal with a fierce war of nerves between the two sisters, so even though I wasn’t gone for that long, the front door of the house couldn’t have felt more weing.


    “…yes. “Please do that, Roberto.”


    Isabe, who had been following Roberto on the phone, hung up and sighed deeply.


    “What did Roberto say?”


    “I barely managed to stop them from saying they were going to increase the number of security guards tenfold right now.”


    It was a natural reaction, considering how embarrassed Roberto, who was usually polite, was at the news of Isabe’s kidnapping.


    “Well… honestly, increasing the number of security guards would be meaningless.”


    “Yes.”


    The opponent was the constetion Ophiuchus, which was once powerful enough to bepared to the North Star.


    It would be meaningless whether the number of security guards was increased tenfold or a hundredfold.


    ‘There’s no need to go to Mobius, just Isabe will be enough to wipe them out.’


    What good would a security guard weaker than Isabe herself be of any use?


    “So, I just asked you to provide as muchpensation as possible to the families of the crew members and bodyguards who died this time.”


    Isabe sighed with a somewhat dark expression, probably thinking of the people who were on the same ne.


    Even if Isabe was released from Moebius’s hands without a scratch, the others were not.


    They were already brutally murdered by Mobius even before the ne crashed in Pyongyang.


    “Don’t worry too much about it.”


    “…Yes, I know.”


    Isabe nodded with a faint smile as Ojin’s hand stroked her head.


    This time, all of the people who boarded the Colgrande family’s private ne were those who had pledged to sacrifice their lives for the Colgrande family.


    In the first ce, it was inevitable that casualties would ur during security missions.


    For the woman who carried the name of Colgrande, such casualties were familiar.


    “Still, I don’t feelfortable.”


    When I thought about the people who died in vain at the hands of Moebius, I felt frustrated, as if a heavy stone was pressing down on my heart.


    “Our Be still has a naive side.”


    Cassia smiled and brushed her long tinum-blonde hair.


    “How could you properly lead the Colgrande family if you were so shaken by every bodyguard dying?”


    “joy. Don’t you know that the better a leader is, the more important he is to the lives of his subordinates? Oh well. “Your sister was expelled from the family, so there’s no way she would know?”


    “Oh my, isn’t that what a leader who cut off blood without thinking and then lost his subordinate without even trying would say?”


    Isabe and Cassia red at each other with murderous eyes.


    “Now that we’re home, you both stop.”


    Oh Jin shook his head as if he had a headache and opened the front door.


    After the fight while holding the head of one’s head, the atmosphere between the two changed and I expected that their rtionship would be better as before, but things like that in shonen cartoons did not easily happen.


    “Sister, I’m here.”


    As soon as I got home, I immediately looked for Ha-eun.


    “hmm?”


    Ha-eun was nowhere to be seen.


    Feeling anxious that Ha-eun might have been kidnapped after Isabe, I urgently searched for amunication relic that was directly connected to Ha-eun.


    Wooooow.


    Unlike a smartphone, a relic that allowsmunication even when inside the gate emits light.


    -uh? what’s the matter?


    A hologram emerged from themunication relic and Ha-eun was seen with her eyes wide open.


    Oh Jin let out a sigh of relief and opened his mouth.


    “Where are you now, sister?”


    -I am a sanctuary.


    “Why the sanctuary?”


    -No, I heard you were with Be today, so I came here to have a snack with thedy because I was bored.


    -Who is thisdy?


    Beyond the hologram, Vega was seen with an angry expression.


    In her hand was a beer can that Ha-eun seemed to have taken with her.


    -Oh, of course. Considering your age, is it right to call you grandma?


    -Didn’t I tell you not to talk about my age?


    -Hehe, it’s a joke. Don’t be upset, my constetion.


    -joy. I don’t remember having an apostle like you.


    Ha-eun is peacefully chatting with Vega.


    ‘Didn’t you hear that Isabe was kidnapped?’


    but.


    If he had been at the sanctuary since Oh Jin came to pick him up at the airport, Roberto would have had no means of contacting Ha Eun as he did not have amunication relic that could connect him directly with her.


    -Anyway, why is he at my house again?


    Ha-eun narrowed her eyes as she looked at Cassia, who was standing behind Ojin.


    No matter how much she was being controlled by the Heavenly Demon at the time, she could not look kindly on Cassia, who killed Tamrangseong, who had once taught her how to deal with stigmata.


    Cassia stepped in front of Ojin and bowed her head politely.


    “This is my first time greeting you formally like this. “My name is Cassia Colgrande.”


    -Uh…yeah.


    Ha-eun nodded with an awkward expression.


    “I still deeply regret the things I did when I was under the control of the Heavenly Demon. “I’m sorry for harming Ha-eun’s teacher.”


    -Well, it wasn’t your will.


    It was not difficult to guess just how strong the Heavenly Demon’s control was just by looking at Cassia and Isabe, who wereining of pain when they escaped from Niflheim.


    Of course, even if I understood it intellectually, I couldn’t leave behind any feelings.


    Still, all responsibility could not be ced on her, who had been brainwashed and was close to being a tool of the Heavenly Demon at the time.


    If Cassia was a sword, the one who held the hilt and swung it was Cheonma.


    -Anyway, what’s going on at my house?


    “I decided to stop by for some reason.”


    -circumstances? Did something happen?


    “Um… I’ll tell you in detail when I get back from the sanctuary.”


    It was too long-winded to exin the story of Isabe’s kidnapping through videomunication.


    -Oh, okay. Then go back and listenter.


    “yes. Please take care of me in the future, Ha-eun.”


    -ok? from now on?


    “Hehe. it’s nothing.”


    Cassia steps back with a bright smile.


    Ha-eun looked at Cassia walking away, feeling an ominous feeling for some reason.


    Ojin cleared his throat and stepped forward.


    “When will your sistere?”


    -uh…? Oh, I’ll just wait a little longer and then go. Our constetion must have been bored alone, so we kept getting stuck together.


    -Who are you saying is stuck?


    -Well, I’ll contact youter when I get back.


    “ok.”


    Communication was cut off with a loud noise.


    “…Still, I’m d you understand.”


    Was he keeping the incident of killing Cheon Sang-gil in his mind?


    Cassia sighed in relief and stroked her chest.


    “I told you in advance that it wasn’t your will.”


    “Thank you, Ojin.”


    “By the way… I have something to ask you about Moebius.”


    He continued, recalling the constetion with ominous shining emerald eyes.


    “Do you know what the ‘purpose’ Moebius was talking about?”


    A purpose that I heard even in Lee Shin-hyuk’s memories.


    Of course, I didn’t know whether my previous life’s purpose and my current purpose would be the same.


    I wondered what his purpose was to be like the Heavenly Demon.


    “no. “I don’t know about his purpose either.”


    “okay?”


    “All I know is that I absolutely hate the Constetions.”


    “You hate the constetions so much?”


    “yes.”


    Cassia nodded.


    “Hmm.”


    It was difficult to guess Mobius’ purpose just because he disliked constetions.


    Just like Ancdus, the ‘satellites’ who were expelled from the sanctuary in the first ce were basically antipathetic towards the constetions.


    “I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”


    “No, whatever. “I can’t help it.”


    Cassia continued speaking with a self-deprecating smile.


    “Actually, I don’t know much about Mobius. Although I received the stigmata of Ophiuchus… I was not recognized as his ‘child.’”


    “You weren’t recognized as a child?”


    Ohjin tilted his head with an expression of iprehension.


    Basically, the Constetions called the human who shared their stigmata ‘child’.


    Of course, only the name was the same, but the attitude toward the ‘child’ was different for each constetion.


    “yes. “There was only one person he called his ‘child.’”


    So, does that mean there are other Ophiuchus awakened people besides Cassia?


    “who?”


    “I don’t know much about her other than her name is ‘Eve’.”


    The name of the awakened person who received the stigmata of Ophiuchus is Eve.


    Naturally, a scene from the Bible came to mind.


    “Hmm. “Have you ever met that awakened person called Eve?”


    “no. Even if I want to meet you, I can’t.”


    “You mean we can’t meet?”


    “I heard he died a long time ago.”


    ah.


    A low exmation flowed from between Ojin’s lips.


    “I heard that that awakened person was the first awakened person to receive the stigmata of Ophiuchus.”


    “So you’re saying that Eve doesn’t recognize anyone other than the awakened person as her ‘child’?”


    “As far as I know, yes.”


    “…That’s right.”


    It would have been nice to have more information about the awakened person called Eve.


    Oh Jin soothed his regrets and gave up thinking about Moebius.


    There was something more important than Mobius’ purpose right now.


    ‘This makes it clear that the ck star constetions are moving in earnest on Earth.’


    It’s not just Ancdus and Moebius.


    Other ck star constetions, including Felis, the constetion in the constetion Cat that we encountered in the Demonic Scene, would have also appeared on Earth.


    ‘I need to get stronger faster.’


    At the current speed, there was no way.


    Faster and more reliably.


    I needed a way to build up strength.


    ‘First of all, you need to get used to it from the start.’


    A thin sanctuary spread around the body was not enough.


    Only when we can develop a sanctuary powerful enough to change the surrounding environment, like the ‘Dragon Pce’ used by Ancdus, will we be able to engage in a proper battle with the ck Star Constetions.


    ‘In order to do that.’


    Ojin’s eyes turned to Isabe and Cassia.


    “I want to ask you two something.”


    “Please speak, Mr. Ohjin.”


    “Hehe. “Is it okay if I give you an order rather than a request?”


    The two women nodded willingly without even listening to what was being asked.


    “Help me practice my sanctuary.”


    “Hmm… what kind of help are you talking about specifically?”


    “First, please start with a simple sparring.”


    In order to properly practice sanctuary, an awakened person was needed who was strong enough to pierce the ‘sanctuary’ of the constetion.


    “Hehe. Oh Jin, I would be happy to help you. “Then would you like me to deal with you first?”


    “No, I’ll deal with both at the same time.”


    In order to deal with the Constetion, I needed to learn how to use the Sanctuary as quickly as possible, so I couldn’t do regr training like I had done so far.


    ‘It would be impossible to deal with Isabe and Cassia at the same time without using Gaecheon.’


    Since it was impossible, I needed to push myself even harder.


    “Oh my, at the same time… “You have great strength~”


    Cassia’s cheeks turned red and her body twisted like a snake.


    “….”


    Why is he like this again?
