I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 163

External humanity (2)

once upon a time. Under the warm California sun, there lived a black girl with many dreams. The girl, who was living alone with her father, happened to meet a pretty girl and they became friends… .

In fact, it is not a story that is old enough to be called old. And she wasn’t a girl, and she wasn’t even a friend.

My father, a magic engineer, ended up staying in Australia for a while because of his collaboration with the guild. He couldn’t leave his daughter, who was still in school, alone, so naturally Sandra followed his father to Australia. There he became acquainted with the son of the master of the guild where his father worked. In fact, he didn’t even know it was a boy at first. Because it looks so pretty.

Alex Hope, who looked just like her Taiwanese mother, had a small body and unusually fair skin even when she was young. Wherever he went, he was looked at as a pretty kid. As far as Sandra knew, he had also worked as a child model. Even if I were Lee Jun, I would have asked my son to model for me if he had a face like that.

Now I don’t know what was inside, it’s just absurd, but at the time, Alex was literally like a doll. He wasn’t just pretty and looked like a doll; he really was a doll. He sat still, blinking his big eyes, and only smiled and responded when her mother spoke to her.

Lee Jun thought the child was autistic. She was insensitive to stimuli around her and ignored things that did not interest her, so it was natural for her to think that way. But Sandra, who happened to see Alex, noticed it right away. He didn’t understand why the adults didn’t know.

So, Sandra quietly approached Alex and spoke to him.

‘Do you like your mom that much?’

Alex slowly turned towards Sandra.

‘You’re doing that because you want to get Mom’s attention. ‘Is it okay for mom to have a hard time?’

I’m not sure what Alex thought when he heard that. But when Sandra met Alex for the second time, about a month later, she saw no doll-like child but a spoiled seven-year-old who was laughing and playing.

Among the guild members’ children, there was no one Alex’s age. So naturally, Sandra spent more time with Alex. Even though it took a lot of work on her, she was prettier than most girls, so neither Sandra nor Alex disliked her. When she was that age, she always liked pretty things. … It’s not just about that age, but who in the world doesn’t like pretty things?

If you think about it, it was a trap. It was like a carnivorous plant that attracted insects with its sweet scent.

However, who can refuse a girl as pretty as a doll, smiling brightly while wearing a large ribbon tied by her mother? Sandra was no different.

‘Sandra. ‘You’re smart, so teach me how to do it.’

I shouldn’t have been fooled by those words!

When I regretted it, it was already too late. Once she stepped in this deep, there was no way out.

… no. Actually there was. If she had looked Alex straight in the eye and said she didn’t want to do it, Alex would have listened.

But knowing that Alex listened to her meant that she couldn’t escape.

Although she always accused Alex of being the culprit who made my life more difficult, Sandra wasn’t stupid enough to know that the opposite was also true. From the moment the narrow fence in seven-year-old Alex’s mind was shattered, it was as if there was no option to escape.

Alex’s fence is narrow. There are few people inside that fence. At most, mom and dad, Sandra. Three people are the end.

And Sandra also knew how hard Alex was trying to protect the three people inside.

‘So let’s summarize.’

Fourteen-year-old Alex Hope and eighteen-year-old Sandra Gamble were locked in the garage, unable to feel the warm California sun, whispering.

‘Who in France?’

‘Noah Michel. I heard you’re famous.’

‘Yes, famous! ‘You’re the youngest archmage!’

Sandra, who was following her father’s path as a magical engineer, was sensitive to dungeon information. There was no way he didn’t know about the Jewel of Nantes, who was renowned as a genius archmage.

I just didn’t think that would come out of this guy’s mouth.

‘… Is he the boss?’

‘Should I call him the boss…? . for now?’

Alex tilted his head.

‘The king can’t come out. So he’s the boss right now, right?’

Alex had an expression that Sandra had never seen before. A face full of anxiety and worry.

Sandra also became serious.

‘Then do you really have to listen to him? ‘What did he order?’

‘I did get a grace period.’

‘Grace period?’

‘huh. With mom and dad… ‘I will not proceed while you are alive.’

There have been many times I’ve been at a loss for words since I met Alex, but I can definitely say that this was the first time I’ve ever been like this.

Sandra looked at Alex’s face blankly, then lowered her head, looked at the ceiling, massaged the back of her neck, and finally looked at Alex again.

‘… … why?’

Alex looked at Sandra with an expression as if she was asking something obvious.

The neat mouth that resembles Lee Jun’s draws a graceful curve. A smile as bright as a golden movie in full bloom.

‘That’s because I like it! I don’t want to see you having a hard time. ‘I wish I could always smile.’

If someone else had said the same thing, I would have shaken my fist and told them not to talk nonsense. But Alex is different. Alex, that Alex… .

My eyes were sore.

‘… ‘Are you crying?’

‘I’m not crying!’

Sandra sniffled.

‘Sniff. good. Why did he call you? ‘What did you order me to do?’

‘Even though I got a postponement, I can’t not prepare… . There’s a lot of work to do, but I don’t have enough hands, so ask me to do it one by one. however… .’

‘however?’

‘I thought you would hate me if I did this.’

‘What on earth made you do that?’

Alex slowly explained Noah Michel’s orders one by one. As the words continued, Sandra’s face hardened. Her head felt cold.

Sandra took a deep breath to keep from yelling at Alex. It’s not Alex’s fault. Aren’t we still at a baby level when it comes to humans?

Alex said, waving Sandra’s sleeve like she did when she was little.

‘Sandra is smart, so you can teach me what to do, right?’

‘… Then, are you going to listen to me?’

‘huh. ‘How can I protect three people?’

‘First of all.’

We need to find Noah Michel, someone who can stop the ark with its stupid name. Alex is strong too, but Alex can’t do it.

So, someone, someone with a strong sense of justice who is interested in stopping bad guys and strong enough to overpower the Archmage Noah Michel. We need someone like that.

… If something like that was rolling around on the streets, I wouldn’t be sitting here doing this.

Sandra closed her eyes and opened them. I saw a garage littered with tools.

‘I need to start a company.’

‘company?’

‘You’re still young so you don’t know, but in human society, if you have money, you can usually solve many things.’

Sandra stroked Alex’s head. Despite being able to avoid his touch, Alex remained calm regardless of whether his hair was a mess or not.

‘The company name is… okay. Pharos. Let’s go to Paros.’

‘Pharos?’

‘It’s Alex and Sandra. We are both named after Alexander, and we have a city named after him. It’s called Alexandria, and there used to be a huge library there.’

‘Because Sandra likes books?’

‘… Well, there is a reason for that. But the important thing is that there was a huge lighthouse in that city, right?

‘Lighthouse?’

Alex, who had no interest in human history, simply pretended to nod to Sandra’s words. Even though she knew that, Sandra explained excitedly.

‘Noah Michel’s Ark doesn’t seem to need light, so we become the light itself. So it’s pharos. So that people can find their way without being distracted by the ark.’

And it serves as a beacon of hope to protect the family.

Sandra will do everything she can to grant Alex’s wishes.

Just as Alex rejected the meaning of his own existence for the sake of Sandra and his family.

So Sandra Gamble couldn’t blow this opportunity now.

“That’s because if Michelle finds out, she will sacrifice you.”

I saw a cell phone that had been roughly made into a support using tools. There are three Koreans on a small screen the size of a palm.

A person who has a sense of justice enough to hate the Ark, and is strong enough to be wary of the Ark!

there was!

It was a good thing I started learning Korean when I first heard that Hong Seok-young was tracking the Ark. She had a hard time learning an unfamiliar language, but it was worth it.

In addition, it is rewarding to have been able to help Alex through the years.

I said this until Alex got bored and annoyed.

‘You can kill the Ark humans. But never! Never kill an unrelated person! ‘It’s the same for children!!’

‘Ugh. But Noah said he was prepared to dispose of things in Korea because things could go wrong?’

‘… … wait.’

I didn’t know that they would rush to set up a foundation before even creating Pharos.

Stealing the children was tricky, but once I succeeded, I gained confidence. It was a trick using monster corpses, magic power, and some runes and magic. In countries like Korea, where there are many victims of dungeon break, this method took advantage of the loophole of quickly cremating the bodies. When it turns to ashes, the evidence disappears forever.

He’s probably doing some research on himself and Museon by now. It is obvious that the young hunter leading the conversation has taken Hong Seok-young’s cell phone and is sending a message.

It’s okay though.

Because this was the only hope Sandra had right now.

“Shan Shan.”

Sandra called Alex, who was not visible on screen.

It was a nickname that Alex’s mother, Lee Jun, gave her son. A special name that only Alex’s family can call.

“I need to tell you about you. Are you fine?”

-If you think you need it!

A familiar red head suddenly appeared next to the young hunter. Her smiling face with her eyes closed is carefree, unlike her tightly bound appearance.

Sandra looked at Alex and smiled the same way. Even if things go wrong for some reason, Alex will be able to get out of it. Although it may be difficult to take care of yourself because Hong Seok-young is there… . Even if you get hurt, running away comes first.

Because wounds can be treated later.

“I have a lot to explain, but there’s something you need to know first.”

-What about Hope?

A young hunter whose name I had not yet heard spoke with a stiff face. She can feel the hostile gaze even on a small screen.

That’s right.

I’m sure Alex said something unnecessary, which only increased the suspicion. It’s obvious even without looking.

Still, I can’t show that I’m nervous. I’m already very nervous! I’m sure they would have noticed that I was nervous!

Sandra wiped her sweaty palms on her clothes.

“Have you done a lot of dungeon raiding?”

-… … .

Hunter frowned, as if he didn’t understand the intent of Sandra’s question. Sandra asked next.

“Then have you ever met a fairy in the dungeon?”

-fairy?

Seokyoung Hong intervened.

Sandra swallowed her saliva as she looked at the experienced hunter with a grim expression. From now on, it’s real.

“yes. Shan Shan… Alex is a changeling and the only fairy who was able to get out of the dungeon.”
