I am not a returner Episode 410:
War of the Stars (1)
The dispatch to Italy was unanimously decided.
The news that humanity’s heroes had joined forces to save people captured by the evil Constellation quickly spread around the world.
Some revered them, some mocked them.
Someone else followed Chilseong and grabbed a sword, while someone else hid in fear.
The wave of chaos that started in Italy covered the entire world.
‘Well, if it’s natural, it’s a natural reaction.’
Because humanity has already experienced a terrible war like this once.
Four years after the ‘first crack’ opened in the North Pole.
When the front line of humanity, which had been pushed back helplessly, began to gradually drive out the demonic beasts due to the presence of the awakened people.
Now, demonic beasts with outstanding intelligence called ‘Named’ have begun to move around the world, forming legions to attack humanity.
The awakened people joined forces to desperately confront the demonic beast army and were able to achieve victory against them.
The name given to that fierce battle was ‘The War of the Stars.’
* * *
It was a war on a global scale in which not only the Awakened but also some Constellations participated.
‘And at that time… my sister also lost her eyes and legs to the Heavenly Dragon.’
Although the war itself was won by driving out the famous demon beasts.
There were countless people who lost precious things as a result.
Overflowing despair and tragedy.
Even after the war ended, people had to endure terrible aftereffects.
‘Chilseong’ was created to calm some of that confusion.
The Seven Stars, created by a group of awakened people who showed outstanding performance during the Star Wars, became a beacon of light for humanity that was in chaos.
Now, 6 years have passed.
The second star war was about to begin under the leadership of the Seven Stars.
An enemy that is incomparably more powerful than before.
A war against the ‘constellation’.
It’s been a week since the meeting ended.
The sanctuary, which should have been quiet and full of sacred energy like a religious facility, was crowded like a market place.
The cause of the commotion was the 10,000-strong Russian-Chinese alliance army, the awakened members of the American guild who entered the war aiming for a huge prize, and the awakened people who gathered from all over the world to participate in the war.
The beautiful road made up of the Milky Way was filled with supplies for war, and the temple where the constellations stayed became a temporary barracks for the awakened.
Ojin and his party were looking down at the awakened people who had gathered for war at the place where Vega’s temple was located, the highest point of the sanctuary.
“Wow… how many people are here?”
Ha-eun sighed and looked down at the awakened people gathered under the sanctuary.
It’s not the first time I’ve seen a crowd like this gather.
Considering that each and every person gathered here was an ‘awakened person’ who had been given the stigmata, it was a sight that could not help but exclaim in admiration.
“A total of 32,782 awakened people have gathered as of today, including all the awakened people who came from all over the world after hearing the news of the guild war between the Russian-Chinese alliance and the United States.”
Cassia answered, flipping through the documents.
“Wow crazy. “30,000 people gathered?”
“The important thing was that the gathering place was a sanctuary. “No matter where you are in the world, there is a door that leads to the sanctuary.”
Originally, it would have been impossible for this many awakened people to gather in just one week, but thanks to permission from the constellations to set up a sanctuary as a gathering place, preparations for war were able to be completed much faster than expected.
“The full-scale operation is tomorrow, so Ha-eun, please take this opportunity to get some rest. “It’s going to be hectic starting tomorrow.”
“ok. I’ll hit the dam a bit later and then go in. By the way, are you attacking through the gate in Rome? “I haven’t heard anything about where I’m going.”
“To prevent the entry route from being discovered in advance, we will keep it classified until just before the operation begins tomorrow.”
“Oh oh. “For a hastily constructed unit, it’s very systematic, isn’t it?”
“Alina’s contribution was great. “Most of tomorrow’s operations came from her head.”
“Well, the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces is not something that was obtained by chance.”
Ha-eun nodded and stretched.
Ha-eun moves to a corner to smoke some tobacco, as if she has finished all her questions.
Meanwhile, Ojin approached Cassia.
“thank you.”
“Yes? “Are you thankful all of a sudden?”
“You gathered the information needed for the war on my behalf.”
Over the past week, Cassia has served as Ojin’s eyes and ears, utilizing her excellent information gathering ability.
If it weren’t for her, the preparations for war wouldn’t have proceeded so smoothly.
“Oh, isn’t it natural for a slave to sacrifice his whole body to work for his master?”
Cassia must have been very happy with Oh Jin’s compliment, so she brushed up her round glasses that she didn’t know where she got them from.
“Where did you get the glasses again?”
“I went out of the sanctuary for a moment and bought it. How do you feel about it? Does it suit you?”
Cassia said that and looked back at Ojin with bright eyes.
Because the original body was good, the off-white color did not fade at all even when wearing glasses large enough to cover half of the face.
However, the difference is that Cassia, who had a sexy appearance unlike her slender body, somehow looks like a cute girl.
Of course, either way it was breathtakingly beautiful.
“Yes, it suits you well.”
“Hehe, right?”
Cassia twitched the corners of her mouth and slowly approached Ojin.
Cassia gently tilts her head towards Ojin with her arms neatly folded together.
If she had a tail, it wouldn’t have been swinging furiously from side to side by now.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
In response to the now somewhat familiar request for a ‘reward’, Ohjin reached out his hand and stroked Cassia’s hair without saying a word.
Soft platinum-blonde hair, as if it had been extracted from melted gold, tickled my fingers.
“Ehehe.”
Cassia is smiling with a bright expression.
“Hmph, I really don’t have any pets. “If it had a tail, would it have been wagging hard?”
Isabella narrowed her eyes and clicked her tongue, as if she didn’t like seeing her sister like that.
Cassia looked back at Isabella with a smile on her lips.
“Oh, wouldn’t it be better to be a loyal and loving puppy than a useless leech who procrastinates all week doing nothing?”
“What?”
“Did I say something wrong?”
“Tsk…”
The words ‘useless leech’ became like a sharp awl and pierced Isabella.
In fact, there was almost nothing she could do to help with war preparations over the past week.
Originally, she should have taken on the role of information gathering that Cassia is currently doing, but the source of her information power was the Colgrande family.
Since Italy, the origin of the Colgrande family, was destroyed at the hands of Moebius, it took time for the lost power of the family to recover.
At the very least, it might have been helpful in planning tactics and operations using the experience of leading various forces.
And thanks to the presence of such an outstanding talent as Alina Vladimir, there was absolutely no place for her to step forward.
Even though she had experience leading a huge force called the Colgrande family, leading an army was a completely different matter.
in other words.
Currently, she is a ‘surplus’ within the Allied Forces, with no duties to do or duties to fulfill.
“Are you trying to tell me that I’m like Ha-eun?!”
Isabella shouted with an angry expression.
Ha-eun, who was burning cigarettes in the corner, lowered her head with a gloomy expression and muttered, ‘Why me again?’
“Ho Ho. I know it well. That’s right, you are Ha-eun herself now?”
“How could you say such harsh things to your little brother?!”
How could he put Ha-eun, who usually does nothing but lie down on the sofa and cling to Oh-jin whenever she gets the chance, bewildering him by asking him to do this or that, on the same level as himself?
Even if she was my real sister, this was an intolerable insult.
“Kids, I’m still here…”
Ha-eun crouched and tried to raise her hand to appeal for her presence, but once the argument between Isabella and Cassia started to get heated, it wouldn’t end easily.
“Well, doesn’t this prove it? “You are nothing without the Colgrande family.”
“Due to the nature of stigmata, it is inevitable that what you can do is limited. Or should we have created some vampires and sent them to the enemy camp?”
“Oh my, isn’t it a bit ugly for an excuse? “It just happened purely because of your lack of ability.”
“That…”
“I heard you went to Taeeulseong Castle not long ago to help plan a strategy, but came back without being able to do anything?”
“How did you do that?!”
As Kasia said, I even went to see Alina to see if there was anything I could do, but there was a time when I came back with a euphemistic refusal.
The same thing happened when I changed the route and went to Ojin.
There was nothing she could do to help Ohjin, who played the role of a ‘returner’ for a while and met various constellations with Vega.
“Hehe. “Why don’t you stop admitting it?”
Cassia crossed her arms and had a winner’s smile on her face.
“What are you asking me to admit?”
“You did nothing to help prepare for this war and spent your time sitting in the temple like an unemployed person with nothing to do.”
“Ugh… Ugh!”
Even though I wanted to object, I couldn’t bring myself to say anything.
It was an undeniable fact that she had no role in preparing for this war.
“Even in this war, didn’t Ojin personally take the risk to listen to your foolish actions? “He even lied that he was a regressor.”
“That is.”
“Ah~ Our Bella would be happy~ Even if I just sit still and don’t do anything, my husband will grant my wishes.”
“It’s so noisy!”
Looking at Isabella, who was trembling with tears in her eyes, Cassia delivered the finishing blow.
“How about you become Ha-eun’s younger sister instead of my younger brother from now on? “I think the two have more similarities.”
“Huh huh…!”
With those words, it sinks.
Isabella knelt down with an expression full of disappointment.
And Ha-eun was watching from the side.
“I… am here…”
He was scratching the floor of the temple with the end of a dead tobacco leaf, with his face buried between his knees.
Oh Jin approached Ha-eun, who was squatting, and patted her shoulder.
