Chapter 187 – Chapter 180 – I Hear Knocking (6)

“Wow! Pouring more than bathroom water!”

Ella’s cry was drowned out by the sound of heavy rain.

The rain was not at the level of a passing shower.
Every time a raindrop hit the ceiling, the glass made a roar like an explosion.

Therefore, the conversation was proceeding closer to shouting.

“Is this the level of a typhoon? No, it is more than what I see in my home forest!”

A storm that is hard to see even in the wooded rainforest like Silnia’s hometown.
At the sight, Silnia opened her mouth and looked up at her ceiling with her children.

Unlike Silnia’s children, who were curious and interested, Marina’s children were afraid of her and embraced Marina’s arms.

“Strange! The rain that hasn’t fallen in years since the garden was opened is falling so hard.”

Marina cried out at her throat as she took her frightened Lenny into her arms.

“It didn’t rain so much that we judged that we were in the middle of the rhubarb, but if it rains this much, it might not be the rhubarb!”

As the saintess said, the warrior party and the demon king had guessed that this was a secret area located in the great wilderness.

Very rare person.
A climate with no rain 365 days a year.
And even the sun rising almost perpendicular to the ground.

Everything fit the great wilderness that separates the human realm from the demonic realm.

Meanwhile, Sharpie and Carine immediately came up with an opinion in the direction of urgency.

“Isn’t this the reason the ceiling collapses? I don’t think Yuri can handle it!”

“Okay! Hernan, let’s get out of the garden for now!”

Hernán stopped listening quietly and took a step back.

“If you don’t know, get out of here! First, take the children and go to their respective rooms.”

He opened the garden door wide, letting in the light of the stairway light.
The women followed the light and took their children and got out one by one.

“Dad…”

Una was the only one whose mother did not follow.
Hernan’s eldest son, with his rabbit ears trembling, stood at the garden gate for the last time and looked up at Hernan.

“Are you okay. Let’s go down to Mom and Dad now.”

Hernán picked up his child and looked at the ceiling of the garden.

Even the moonlight and starlight are blocked by dark clouds.
A roar as if each raindrop were an explosion magic.

It is a very effective barrier.

“Maybe I won’t see you often.”

“Yes? Dad, what did you say to Una?”

“No.”

Hernán closed the garden door, feeling that perhaps this was not a phenomenon that would end today.

“Let’s go down. Should I go down and tell my mom what Una saw?”

It was only then that the child showed excitement for the first great sight he had seen in his life.

“Water fell from the sky!”

“Okay. That’s called rain.”

Hernán went down the stairs while talking to the child.

* * *

“Have we changed where we are?”

Marina stood in front of a pillar of light from which warmth emanated.
And she slowly covered it up so it wouldn’t dazzle her.

“This is already the fifth heavy rain this week. Even today it is pouring during the day.”

Marina’s special room.
Marina was with Hernán in a space imitating the temple of the Goddess of Mercy.

“It was dark in the garden even during the day. Aren’t they disappointed that there is no sunlight?”

Hernán swept the back of Marina’s daughter, the newest born.
I just had to do this until Marina breastfed her and belched.

Marina answered, making sure that the barrier covering her pillar of light was not damaged.

“It’s disappointing… Of course, it’s a pity that I can’t play in the garden. But at the same time, rain is so spectacular, so he likes that too.”

As she said, all the children who could walk on their own wanted to go and watch it whenever it rained.
Ella, in particular, seemed to be fascinated by the sight, and she would go every day to see if it was raining.

Even now, today, Silnia, who is in charge of raising children, is leading and watching.

Hernán opened his mouth while drawing the curious faces of the children in his head.

“Maybe it will pour a few more times.”

“Yes?”

The saintess questioned Hernán’s words with a curious face.

“Did you say more?”

“Yes. Of course, it’s not certain, but it looks like it could rain more like that. Probably because I drank.”

When Hernan had said that, the saintess had a slightly puzzled face.

“Hernan. This is not a garden.”

“Yes.”

As Hernán calmly patted her child on the back, Marina became even more embarrassed.

“Hernan! The fact that other gods cannot interfere in the temple is only possible when it is a real temple.”

“As Saint Marina said, this is not a real temple.”

“But why…”

Marina prefers to talk about her demons in the garden.
It is difficult for demons to interfere in the garden where the divine power of the goddess of the old family is strong.

Of course only if you don’t have a sharpie.

Hernan said, feeling that bitter water would come out of his mouth instead of his child.

“As long as the heavy rain continues, I think it will be okay for us to talk freely among ourselves. It just happened that the heavy rain had just started.”

When the heavy rain started, it rained for 4-5 hours.
If so, it’s still fine.

“You can speak comfortably. Rather, it would be better to pay more attention to human ears.”

Hernán beckoned Marina to come closer.

Marina looked at Hernán’s calm face and nodded her head.

“Hernan must have figured out something. Seeing that she proudly brings up the story of her drinking outside of the garden.”

The two men and women sitting with the baby between them continued their conversation quietly.

“I also had a feeling that this heavy rain was not normal. Maybe it has something to do with the demon.”

The saintess patted her child on the back instead of Hernan.
Soon there was a small sound of air escaping, and she smiled.

“Could you please explain?”

Hernán put her baby on his lap and opened her mouth.

“Remember when Silnia said lately that she keeps knocking on something?”

“I remember.”

Marina still lowered her voice.
Hernán continued to say as he watched her busy with the new baby.

“And the most recently used wish ticket. Do you remember how slow the demons responded back then?”

Originally, demons tended to grant wishes immediately.
As if it was always waiting for a wish to be made.

However, when Potty was dying, the Demon God only appeared after protracted time.

“I thought Potty was practically dead. I even thought maybe the demon abandoned us.”

Marina had a face that recalled that tense moment.
And she immediately opened her eyes slightly wide.

“If… ?”

The voice, which had been whispering softly, gradually returned to its usual volume.

Hernán nodded his head and spoke calmly.

“It looks like you’re busy.”

Unlike usual, the devil did not respond right away.
At that time, Hernán read the feeling of being quite tired from the tentacle that acted as the devil’s will.

And Silnia, who says she’s been hearing more and more knocking lately.
Six days ago, she heard it clearly enough to wake everyone else up.

Finally, unnatural rain.

It is by no means natural for such heavy rain to fall one after another in a place that has not even had much clouds in years.

Hernán, who was in the garden with his sharpie when the first rain fell, remembered that dark clouds obscured the moon at great speed.

If you think about it, that’s kind of weird too.
Dark clouds pouring down rain without any sign?

“It looks like an incident is happening outside.”

Despite Hernan’s grave tone, Marina’s voice trembled slightly.

“Maybe there are guests coming. The drunken man is in a state of disarray as he welcomes guests.”

Customer.

An existence that came to the great wilderness, where neither humans nor demons can easily approach.
It will never be an ordinary approach.

“Are they coming towards us?”

Marina grabbed her own long skirt with her trembling hands.

“No, it’s not someone coming, but is it the process of the gods searching?”

A large hand was placed on Marina’s hand.
Hernan answered while holding his trembling hand.

“Sylnia heard knocking in the room. A private room with perfect soundproofing.”

Marina swallowed her dry saliva and focused on Hernán’s words.

“In addition, she said that she also heard a sound similar to a popping,” She said. That heavy rain, which seems to have been created by a demon god, is making a roar that can be compared to explosion magic.”

An explosion so strong that it was delivered to a private room.
The pouring rain seemed to erase any sound.

“I hope the battle…”

A cracking voice came out of Marina’s mouth.
She leaned on Hernán, covering her mouth as if surprised by herself for containing her words, her battle.

“Saint Marina.”

Hernán held the gentle saintess’ body in her arms.
And she tilted her head towards her, smelling the strange smell of her milk and sweat mixed with her.

“How about we get some rest after our conversation? Isn’t it the day off after a long time?”

“Okay, it’s okay.”

Marina shook her head and slipped her arm around Hernán’s waist.

“Rather, it would be better not to miss the opportunity to talk just the two of us now. Even if you drank, you are selling your eyes.”

The more the saintess was hugged, her big breasts pressed Hernán.
Supporting her pleasant weight, Hernán opened her mouth.

“The fact that the sound is approaching may be evidence that the Demon God is failing to block access from the outside.”

Hernán told a more detailed story to a woman who, with the exception of Sharpie, was more intellectually helpful than the demon king.

“In other words, the Demon God might need more power.”

At his words, Marina managed to get her words out.

“That is strange. There’s no way the Demon God will be easily pushed back.”

The main specialty of the demon god is magic.
It is true that magic is a powerful power, but the divine power that the human gods deal with is a power that is incompatible with magic.

Nevertheless, in the stories in mythology, the story of the human gods failing to subdue one of the demons continues to appear.

The demon’s magic ability is that powerful.

Is that kind of demon getting pushed out more and more?

“Are all the gods joining in? Or just in case…”

Marina said in a trembling voice.

“Because of us and the divine power we gain from this place, isn’t the demon god slowly losing its magical ability? If that’s the case, the Demon God might be being pushed back by an attack that’s less serious than you think.”

Divine power pushes away mana just by its existence.
And the demon’s divine power continues to grow stronger.

If so, is the demon god losing its magic ability right now?

“Then, Saint Marina. What if the Demon God is losing her mana while gaining divine power?”

“It would be better to use the wish ticket randomly.”

Marina lowered her voice even though no one was listening.

“No matter how proficient the Demon God is in divine power, it will be difficult for him to stand up against the human god who has been dealing with divine power for a long time. In this case, it would be more helpful to quickly take away the magic ability, which is the devil’s strength.”

“Then what about the other way around? All the human gods are joining in, so what if they are being pushed back even though they are maintaining their magical abilities?”

If she is a god of magic, can she retain her magic ability even though she has divine power?

Feeling the urge to ask the Demon God directly using her wish ticket, Hernan listened to Marina’s answer.

“You should never use the wish ticket. It only increases his strength.”

Saying that, Marina let out a soft moan.
Hernán wondered if the saintess was too nervous, and he brushed her arm.

“Lady. It seems that you suddenly talked about a lot of important things today. If it’s hard, don’t reject it like before and just rest.”

Anyway, no matter how much we talk about it, it just goes around and around without an answer.

Because we need more information to find out what the devil’s condition is like, and there’s no way to get that information right now.

“It would be better…”

Marina staggered slightly and got up from her seat.
Hernán got up and helped her, holding her baby in her haste.

The saintess nodded her head to Hernán with her dazed face, and she escaped from his arms.

“Saint?”

Her condition suddenly deteriorated.
Hernán met her eyes, feeling her question.

“Hernan…”

Instead of looking at Hernán, Marina’s eyes turned to her child in his arms.

“We… Maybe she’ll be out soon?”

“If the demon is being pushed right now, the chances of that happening are pretty high. Even if it wasn’t necessary, it came close to the number of people to be filled.”

The children born are far more than the children to be born.
Approximately, women only need to give birth once more.

As Marina said, escape will come sooner than you think.

“… I am afraid to approach you.”

“What do you mean?”

Hernán took Marina’s words hardening her expression.

“No.”

Marina just shook her head, barely putting a smile on her face.
And she took Hernán the baby in her arms in her arms.

“We’ll talk more about the wish sphere and the demon god later. Oh, come to think of it, we were supposed to talk in the garden, but didn’t we forget?”

It was a promise that Forti had made before she passed out, but it was a promise she forgot due to Marina’s birth.

“We’ll go together when it rains again. Are you okay?”

The saintess hurriedly moved her feet out of her special room without listening to her answer.

“Saint Marina!”

Her saintly name resounded in the silent temple.

Hernan approached the saintess who had stopped in front of the door.
He stood in front of the saintess whose shoulders trembled.

“Hernan…”

The saintess was crying.
Marina was crying with fear.

Hernán held the saintess who was afraid of going out and the criticism she would hear.

He hoped the heavy rain would last longer and keep people there.
So that I can focus on this woman for now.
