## Chapter 1454 – Heavenly Demon Kim Kat

Prayer time.

It goes without saying, but I prayed to myself. This Heavenly Demon Kim Kat is at the apex. No punk exists above me.

Therefore, I prayed to myself.

You know, that world-famous hilarious clown, Mr. Pagliacci, is said to stand in front of the mirror and watch his own clowning to cheer himself up when he’s feeling down. It’s a similar context.

Anyway, Hilde’s sudden prayer suggestion worked very well on Elise. Elise, who was in despair in an OTL posture, immediately knelt down and put her hands together at the sound of prayer. It seems her down mood has recovered. As expected, prayer works wonders for a priest.

Elise must have prayed to me too.

“Hilde, who did you pray to?”
“Of course, to Kat-nim!”
“As expected!”
“The only person worthy of receiving my prayer, no! The prayer of all mankind, is Kat-nim!”
“Hahaha! Those are truly correct words!”

Those are extremely common-sense and rational words!!!

“Then who did Elise pray to?”
“Me too. At first, I was going to pray to Ijzermart-nim, but I prayed to the Saint.”

Elise also prayed to me.

“Elise, only use ‘-nim’ with me and my women.”
“Ah. I made a mistake. I will be careful from now on.”
“Hehehe, good.”

There are so many things I need to tell Elise. First of all, I need to tell her that all the gods in the celestial realm are evil outer gods from space, and their purpose is to suck the souls of humans.

“Still, it’s really a shame. I thought I would be able to hear the vivid story of the Idol War directly from Risha-nim, but… I’m very disappointed that she says she doesn’t know.”
“I was a little disappointed too. I had a lot of questions.”
“That’s right. Everyone is curious about the Idol War. Records from before the war are too rare for the current human race.”

Priests and scholars are all curious.

“But can’t we hear at least a little bit?”

She still seems to have some lingering feelings.

But it can’t be done.

Asking that question itself was a critical hit to Risha.

“It probably won’t work. She told me a lot about the Demon World, but I hardly heard anything about the Idol War. Actually, how could a wounded young demon gather information during a war? She would be busy just trying to survive.”

If I had been in a similar situation to Risha, I would have been the same. It would have been different if I had gone when I was bigger and stronger, but Risha was too young at the time.

“Come to think of it, that seems to be the case… It’s a shame after all.”

I stroked Elise’s head. Elise stayed still, seemingly feeling quite good about it.

“Hoo, hoo… Anyway, it’s really amazing. Risha-nim was a princess of the Demon World… Whatever the circumstances, after hearing the story, she is related to or knows the demons who invaded last time, but there is no direct connection at all. So that’s not a problem.”
“I think so too. Elise has a very correct way of thinking.”
“I’m embarrassed to hear you say that.”
“Well, don’t be embarrassed. Still, I’ll talk to Risha about this sometime soon. There are some things to hear besides the Idol War story.”
“I understand.”

Elise answered with a smile. Yeah. It’s me and Elise. If I tell the truth, there’s no burden at all. I guess it’s the same with Kadia.

So I’ll say one more thing.

“And there’s one more thing.”
“Again, again!”

I deliberately let the words slip out as if it wasn’t a big deal, but Elise reacted quickly.

“What else is there!!!”
“No. I said it’s okay. But why are you so surprised?”
“It’s okay, but! Still, there’s that!!! You’re hiding too many things from me!!!”
“Hehehe, forgive me just once, Elise. I’ll tell you everything now.”

Rather, when I smiled and touched Elise’s cheek, Elise immediately surrendered and didn’t shout loudly.

“…I understand. I’m forgiving you because you told me.”
“Okay. Anyway, Elise. You know Ari, right?”
“Are you talking about Ari-nim?”
“Yeah.”

A smile appeared on Elise’s face when Ari’s name was mentioned. Does she have a great liking for Ari? To show such a reaction just by hearing her name?

“What about Ari?”
“Yes! She is an amazing person who is praised as the Goddess of the Earth!”

Elise answered as if she had been waiting for my words.

“The food produced by Ari-nim has spread to various places and saved countless people! Guardians who fight monsters are also important, but humans die in an instant if they don’t have food! Therefore, Ari-nim, who produced food, is also a great savior!!!”

It was like talking about a favorite celebrity or athlete. Elise explained as cheerfully as if she were singing.

“Hehehe, is that such a good impression?”
“Of course it has to be good! In the midst of war! And while countless people are dying! Isn’t she the one who is responsible for the food that those people eat! I’ve never heard of such plant magic, but the fact that she used her powerful abilities for the public good is noble and sacred!”

I want to let Ari hear it directly.
But I don’t think she’d be very interested.

“That’s right. Ari did a great job. So did you talk about it in the bathroom earlier?”
“Ah, ah… That is…”
“Hmm?”
“Ari-nim seemed a little taciturn. I didn’t talk much with her in the bathroom either.”
“Ah.”

Ari is very lacking in social skills.

In the first place, she has a personality that doesn’t pay much attention to things other than me. I think this is inevitable because she is not human. I tried to educate Ari to be as normal as possible, but well, she became quite taciturn.

“So it’s about Ari’s identity.”
“Identity…!”
“Yeah. Identity.”
“I think I have a little sense of what you mean when I hear that word. Maybe… the plant magic that Ari-nim uses. There must be a big secret in that. A secret as amazing as Hilde-nim’s identity or Risha-nim’s identity.”

She’s almost there.

“Ari is a reincarnation of Alraune.”

The moment I said that.

“…”

Elise was silent.

And.

“The legendary monster Alraune… are you talking about that?”
“Yeah.”
“No, no!!! That can’t be!!!”

In an instant, Elise grabbed her head and was shocked!

No, but why are you so surprised now?

“So, does that mean Ari-nim is from a monster!!!”
“Almost.”
“Amazing! The legendary monster Alraune actually existed!”

I took a quick look at her reaction, and Elise was purely surprised, not feeling any anger. Actually, with a succubus and a demon, would she be surprised by an Alraune?

“I need an accurate explanation!”
“Okay.”

I briefly explained about Ari. Ari, who was born from a flower that I was growing to eat as a medicinal herb, looked like that from birth, and regarded me as a parent-like being.

Elise, who had been listening to the story, suddenly shouted as if she was having a seizure.

“Wait! So Ari-nim regards the Saint as her father?!”
“Almost?”
“No! That’s! That’s strange!”

In an instant, Elise’s eyes widened and a loud voice burst out.

“Isn’t it strange!”
“What? Elise? What is it?”
“Ari-nim regards the Saint as her father, but the Saint has taken such Ari-nim as his wife!!!”

I thought as I watched Elise get angry.

Come to think of it, the reason Ari calls me Father is… that was the reason. Yeah! In the early days, I felt seriously uncomfortable with that! But at some point, it got better! So I didn’t feel any strangeness at all! Even though it’s a strange thing!!!

This is definitely something to get angry and scold about!!!

“Saint! Isn’t this strange! No! From a moral and ethical point of view, it is not right! It’s already happened, so there’s nothing we can do, but I think it’s necessary to clearly reprimand the Saint for such thoughts!!!! Isn’t that right!!!”
“E, Elise. It’s not that.”
“Come here! Come and sit here!”
“Elise! Just a moment!!!”

Elise, who had accumulated more anger while speaking, grabbed my shoulder with glowing eyes and pressed me down to sit down!

“Hilde-nim! Why are you trying to hide! Please come and sit next to me!!!”
“No, that, Elise-nim! This is!”

Hilde, who was trying to escape, was also suppressed by shoulder pressure!!!

“Saint!!! I also have to say something as a wife! Ari-nim is definitely a savior and there is no doubt about her character, and she is the Saint’s proud partner, but touching a woman who regards herself as her father is a criminal act in my opinion!!!! Isn’t that right!!!”
“E, Elise. So there’s more to the story…”
“No matter what story you have, this is wrong!!! Since it’s all over, I’ll just simply awaken the Saint’s morality! Listen!!!”

Like that.

Elise burned with anger while preaching for a long time.

Heavenly Demon Irresistible…

          *     *     *

While being preached to like that, I explained as much as possible that the relationship with Ari was born out of an unavoidable situation, and after about an hour, Elise calmed down and let me go…!

I’m scared!

This is a scary thing in a different sense from the old Winia!!!

“Hoo, I feel relieved for some reason. It doesn’t matter since it’s all over, but please think more about morality in the future, Saint.”
“Okay… I understand…”
“Hmm… But. When I count, it’s still amazing. It seems that there are almost no humans among the other sisters.”

That’s also true.

But originally, I was maintaining a balance of 4 humans and 4 different races, but with Elise joining, there are now 5 humans.

“Except for Karin-nim, Liztina-nim, Winia-nim, and Kadia-nim, aren’t they all non-human races.”

Elise was questioning, but there is only one thing to say.

“Elise.”
“Yes.”
“That’s what love is.”
“Yes?”
“That’s right, Elise-nim. As Elise-nim said, race is not very important. What’s important is the person’s heart and character. Kat-nim knows that, so he accepted us.”
“That, that’s also true… No. Yes. That’s right. I originally didn’t think well of different races, but when I think about it correctly, the Saint and Hilde-nim are all right.”

In that way, the work of revealing the identities of Hilde, Risha, and Ari to Elise ended very well. I’m really relieved.

“Saint. So is the story over?”
“No. There are a few more things.”
“What…!”
“But still, Elise. I’ll tell you everything. So don’t get too angry.”

Elise’s face turns red when I say that while putting my hand on her head.

“I, I’m not a person who gets angry that much…”
“Just a lovely person.”
“…”
“Hehehe, ah. Anyway, let’s talk again. It’s very late today.”
“I understand.”

Then I should wash up soon too. But I talked too much with Elise. I was going to eat after taking a bath, but I hope they ate first.

“Elise. Were we going to eat after washing up?”
“Yes? Ah…! Ah! That’s right! I talked about it with my sisters! I ended up leaving them without saying anything! Saint! And Hilde-nim! I’ll go to the restaurant first!”

ㅡPaaat!

Was it because she broke her promise?

Before I could even say let’s go together, Elise shot out like an arrow. Anyway, that left only me and Hilde at the scene.

“Let’s follow, Kat-nim. We could have gone together, but it seems Elise-nim was too impatient.”
“That’s what I’m saying. Wow. Anyway, Hilde. How did you get forgiven by Elise so well?”
“I thought my heart was going to drop! To be honest, I wouldn’t have anything to say even if I got a rash, no! Even if I got hit on the head with a mace!”

In fact, Elise put her hand on her waist.
She touched the imaginary mace that wasn’t there.

“But you got forgiven… really. I’m touched. Elise-nim is basically a good person. The person itself is strong, faithful, and righteous.”

Hilde’s face was filled with affection as she said that.

“So you like her?”
“I, Hilde, who worships fusion Confucianism, can’t help but like someone like Elise-nim!”
“Hehehe, that’s Hilde for you.”
“Anyway, Kat-nim. But it seems like it’s one mountain after another. I have to report the same story to Kadia-nim and get forgiven again, and I have to tell Elise-nim about the outer gods, but in my opinion, even if it’s Elise-nim, she won’t be able to avoid fainting if she hears about the outer gods.”

It’s dizzying.

I think so too.

“But what’s even more scary is that all of us have to attend when we go to talk to Kadia-nim! Even though we have already made an eternal sisterhood with Kadia-nim, where there should be no secrets at all, we have hidden such facts from Kadia-nim! This is as serious as revealing my identity to Elise-nim!!!”

This is all my karma.
