I temporarily closed my eyes and once I opened them again, the first thing I saw were the snow-covered land. The ensuing cold struck my body.

“Ohh, what is this damn cold. Now!”

Park Maksun shouted in a thunderous manner and I quickly summoned Solar Phoenix to warm up the surroundings. Only then was Park Maksun able to calm her shivering body. I slowly looked around. “It looks like we’ve arrived but I don’t know where this is.”

Park Maksun spoke while warming her hands beside Solar Phoenix, “I’m sorry. This is the first time I’ve come to the North Pole. The space movement doesn’t work exactly.”

I shook my head like it was fine. She had done enough. In fact, it was an unexpected achievement to arrive so quickly. Additionally, it wasn’t entirely out of the way.

“It’s fine. There is someone here who knows the road very well.”

“Eh? Really? Who is it?”

“Fenrir.” I summoned Fenrir straight away using the power of the black night. The summoned Fenrir quietly sprang out of the shadows. The werewolf stood up on both feet and looked down on us. The startled Park Maksun fell to the ground.

“Oh my my! What is it this time? Why did this jerk suddenly appear?”

"...I’m a werewolf, not a jerk. That’s rude.”

Fenrir roared toward Park Maksun and I calmed him down.

“It’s fine. Do you know where this is?”

“Bah. Of course. This is my home.”

“Then I will ask you for directions.”

“Are we going to my mother?”

“Yes. I will meet Romelana first.”

Fenrir beckoned and two black night wolves rose from the shadows. Park Maksun and I rode on one each.

“Then let’s depart. Hold on tightly.”

I gripped the mane tightly with my hands and Park Maksun followed my actions. Fenrir took the lead and started to run across the cold North Pole. The two black night wolves followed. After a while, we were able to meet Romelana.

“Oh my, isn’t this an incredibly beautiful dog?!”

Romelana laughed at Park Maksun’s admiring words. It was just that Romelana’s fur color was different. Previously, she was a pure white, but now, there was a slightly cloudy grey color. I asked her, “Your fur color...”

[It happened during the last battle with Belphegor. I changed like this after using the power of light and darkness at the same time.]

Surprisingly, it was Park Maksun who reacted to Romelana’s words.

She spoke with an unexpectedly serious expression, “Yes, light and darkness are originally opposite each other. If light and dark magic are used together, then it will be chaos magic. It is very destructive magic, but the burden is considerable because the caster draws energy from both.”

I was a bit flustered by the words. I didn’t know she had this level of magical knowledge.

“My constellation told me about it.”

Ah, it was like this.

[...Chaos. This seems to be an accurate expression. After using the power of chaos in the last battle, I felt my body slowly breaking down. However, I don’t regret it. It was also my choice.]

I couldn’t say anything. It must be the case if she was saying so. It was a choice made by Romelana, even if it destroyed her body. With great powers comes great responsibility—Romelana already knew it.

“Um, I came to see you, Romelana.”

[Yes. Please speak.]

“I’m deeply sorry to have to give you bad news first.”

I did this so she could prepare her mind. From now on, I will be giving her news about Remus in the Star Flow System. Romelana’s expression stiffened like she sensed something.

After a while, Park Maksun and I left Romelana’s residence.

Fenrir asked to stay by her side to comfort her. As expected, Romelana was a bit sad, but Remus’ death hadn’t been confirmed yet. Therefore, she told me not to worry too much. In any case, I had to deliver this sad news and my expression was heavy like a huge pile of lead was weighing me down.

Just then, Park Maksun spoke consoling words, “Why are you looking so morose? It isn’t like Orabeoni.”

I had to smile. She hadn’t seen me in so long.

“You grannie. I’m not who I used to be.”

“Fucker.”

“Tut.”

I didn’t find her weak point in vain.

“Aren’t you giving me your hand? We have to go to the village.”

“Oh, that is true.”

I extended a hand to Park Maksun. She grabbed my wrist and pointed to the village that was brightly lit up at the foot of the mountain.

“Just go over there?”

“Yes.”

The daytime village, Diya.

According to Romelana, Diya would soon be integrated with the night village, Nutscher. There would soon be a founding ceremony. In any case, the reason I was going here wasn’t for the founding ceremony. It was more important than anything else to me. It was to get the snow recipe and Snow Flying Kick Technique. I was told by Romelana that the person who had it was staying here for some time.

“Oh, hurry and go or I’m going to catch a cold.”

Park Maksun’s nose twitched as she drew a triangular magic circle with her other hand. The space movement began and I felt my body floating. I thought this was more comfortable than Jinny. Could I learn this magic? I once again felt regret that I hadn’t changed my class to a magician.

The world turned white and I reappeared in the village whose night view I had just seen. However, the appearance was different from before. It used to be cold but it was now buzzing with warmth. The little ones of the young beast people never ceased and they were playing with humans. Occasionally, nocturnal beasts were also seen. The integration of villages that I only heard about could now be felt.

We had moved through space to the entrance of an alley in the village.

“Groan.” Just then, Park Maksun groaned from next to me and swayed.

I tried to support her but Park Maksun said she was fine. “I used space movement twice in a row, so my magic power is just exhausted for a while.”

I inexplicably felt sorry.

“It is okay to go slowly. If it is hard then say so.”

“Ah, it’s no problem. I’m fine! I am Maksun! Park Maksun!”

Who could stop this stubbornness?

“Just don’t overdo it next time. I feel sorry.”

“...Bah. I know.”

I smiled at her.

Park Maksun took deep breaths to recover her magic people while I observed the surroundings. I was currently wearing a hood so other users couldn’t recognize me. The hood contained the magic engineering power of the now perished Parta Principality. It was something that Aren’s butler, Alfred, had helped make for me not long ago.

“It’s done.”

“Then let’s go.”

Park Maksun and I entered onto the streets. Fortunately, no one recognized us. I was wearing a hood while Park Maksun also had a hood attached to her robe. In any case, we slowly headed to our destination. Shortly thereafter, Park Maksun and I finally met the one we wanted to meet.

[Hohoho! Live with kindness!]

“Thank you, Grandfather!”

There was an old man in a red hat and red coat handing out presents to the children around him. His true name was Saint Nicholas. Gaia’s fourth apostle, his nickname was December's Invader and he had another more famous name.

[Yes. Merry Christmas!]

“Is that the man you are looking for?”

“...Yes.”

Santa Claus—I had to get the snow recipe and the Snow Flying Kick Technique from that man.

Roosters cried as early dawn arrived and illuminated the world. The moment Aries got up, she headed to the Temple of the Wind in Metheus. The other constellations were told to come an hour later.

Aries flew through the sky on a golden sheep and was soon able to reach the Temple of the Wind. She was able to meet Huera and tell Lupeon’s story. Huera cried with great surprise and sadness.

[Lupeon... Sob. I will tell the other gods. Sob sob... Thank you for letting me know. Sob...]

This was Huera’s last appearance. Aries had a bitter expression and turned toward the lord’s castle of Metheus. It was because Helena, the human being who guided her and the constellations yesterday, asked her to come here. However, there were also people she hadn’t expected.

[What? Aries? Why are you here?]

[That’s what I want to say, Cat Baker. Why is a member of the Seven Chivalrous Stars here? I thought you were going to the human world as an advance team to deal with the demon kings first.]

Aries glanced sideways. Next to Cat Baker was Tiarudo with folded arms. She had always felt that he was a really silent constellation.

“I will explain it.” Just then, Helena appeared behind them with a smile. Behind her were men in armor. Helena smiled and introduced the Sylphid Knights, “This is Becker, the vice-captain of the Sylphid Knights and the one who will guide you.”

“I am Becker. It is an infinite honor to meet the constellations,” Becker greeted her in a manner that wasn’t excessive or lacking.

Aries had an expression of confusion on her face. She asked Helena, [What does that mean? Guide? Where are you going to take us?]

Helena smiled again.

“That...”

At this moment, constellations started to descend one by one from the sky. Finally, most of the constellations that had come from the Star Flow System filled the garden of the lord’s castle. Cat Baker’s eyes widened with surprise, while the always indifferent Tiarudo also looked startled.

[Y-You all came...? When?] Cat Baker wondered and Helena looked back at them.

“It seems like we are all here so I will tell you briefly. From now on, we are going to kill Satan, the demon king in the Orca Kingdom.
