It happened when the talk with Park Maksun was in full swing and the story was blossoming...
Knock knock.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The door opened and Helena came in while exclaiming, “It is something big!”
“What’s going on?”
“......?”
Helena was gasping as she ran over. She slowly recovered her breath and spoke in a quiet voice, “The constellations have come in a large group!”
“What? Who came?” I doubted my ears. I wondered if I had heard incorrectly.
“The constellations! They are looking for you right now!” The moment Helena cried out, the amazed Park Maksun touched her chest.
“Hmm, what is going on? Now.”
“I also want to know.”
I really wanted to know what was going on. No, I didn’t know why the constellations were suddenly coming here. I couldn’t understand what was happening.
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ says he can feel the energy of many constellations outside.]
[The third apostle, ‘Atlas,’ is saying to go outside.]
I decided to go outside with Park Maksun and Helena. We found the constellations not far away. They were in the lord’s castle and spread out like they were on an outing.
“......”
“......”
“......”
The three of us shut our mouths at the same time. There were soldiers guarding the constellations, but they didn’t dare do anything. It was because the star power coming from the constellations was overbearing. Just then—
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is showing his presence.]
[The third apostle, ‘Atlas,’ is showing his presence.]
Both Prometheus and Atlas exuded their presence. Just then, the eyes of the constellations widened and they raised their upper bodies. They had noticed the presence of Prometheus and Atlas. I asked them, “Why did you come to me?”
[Are you the Weather Chef?]
“Then?”
All the constellations seemed exhausted and some seemed hurt. Their eyes looked like they had come straight here from the middle of a battlefield.
[Phew, fortunately we’ve come to the right place.]
I pretended to be calm on the outside, but inwardly, I was surprised by the identity of the woman who just spoke to me. She was obviously Aries, the sheep zodiac who occupied a place in the 12 Zodiacs. Why did she come here? No, why did she come here with all the constellations?
Then Aries opened her mouth, [First, we need a place to rest.]

At the North Pole, the ice castle of the tundra dragon...
A cold blizzard brought darkness in the late evening. The tundra dragon stared at the phenomenon of an aurora in the North Pole sky for a long time. It was like a gift from heaven for him who liked beautiful things. The colored sky was very beautiful and the shining starlight was more brilliant than any of the sparkling things collected so far. If possible, he wanted to grab a star from the sky and bring it next to him to appreciate it. Maybe it started from that time. He had a hobby of collecting sparkling things.
[...Hah, isn’t it truly beautiful?]
The tundra dragon looked drunk as his frost-like eyes were fixed on the sky. Just then—
Step, step.
Heavy footsteps started to ring through the great hall. The sound of footsteps was unceasing. He thought perhaps this person had lost their fear. This person came with such dignity despite knowing who this castle belonged to.
‘Who is it?’
For a long time, the castle had never allowed anyone to visit except for the emperor penguin. He was curious about the person who came after the human’s visit not long ago. The tundra dragon wondered what would come through the door. He waited slowly while sitting on the ice throne. After a while, the door opened and a lion with a black mane appeared.
It was Lucifer, the demon king of pride.
[Hoh. You are somewhat familiar. Is it an old acquaintance?] the tundra dragon asked the black lion.
Lucifer smiled while revealing his sharp teeth. Then a frozen beam was fired from the fingertips of the tundra dragon sitting on the throne. Lucifer smiled as he was struck by the ice beam. Lucifer’s body started to slowly freeze from the outside. However, Lucifer just laughed. He slowly used his power of materializing his imagination to create flames all over his body to melt the ice.
The tundra dragon’s eyes slightly widened. [Amazing. Making a fire here. What is your business?]
[Don’t you know, tundra dragon?]
[Hmm...?]
The tundra dragon stroked his chin and examined the black lion in front of him. Shortly thereafter, the tundra dragon was able to see the identity of the black lion. The lion closely resembled Regulus, the former leader of the 12 Zodiacs and a member of Jupiter’s royal guards.
[You were alive? I heard you went to the demon world.]
Lucifer grinned. There was no need for long words. Lucifer just revealed his sharp claws.
The tundra dragon’s eyes shook. [It was you. The one who killed Phoenix Ignur.]
[...Let me see. No and yes.]
[I think I’ll get a statue of an ice lion today.]
The tundra dragon’s magic and Lucifer’s magic resonated and boiled up at the same time.

At an old-fashioned inn in the trading city of Fortren...
“Then rest.”
[Thank you.]
“No.”
Helena closed the door. Aries lay on the bed as she heard the footsteps moving away from the closed door. However, the human bed was very uncomfortable.
[Hmm...]
The Celestial Palace had all its furniture made of clouds and they felt very soft, while humans used these hard beds.
[I can’t sleep.]
Aries tossed and turned before raising her upper body. She walked straight to the window and opened it. A large full moon was shining yellow. It was the moonlight that the goddess of magic and the moon would love very much.
[...Good.]
The chirping of insects and the faint night view made Aries peaceful in a matter of seconds. The man called Choi Chuntaek had prepared the building, saying they should stay here for the time being. The other constellations were also assigned to their respective rooms and were now all resting.
[...Lupeon.]
Aries looked up at the sparkling sky that reminded her of Lupeon. However, the god of stars and mercy, Lupeon was no longer in the world. This was the saddest thing of all, but she couldn’t cry yet. Aries vowed not to cry until she got her revenge.
[Gasp...]
Aries took a deep breath as she thought about what to do tomorrow. It was right after she told the man called Choi Chuntaek that Lupeon was dead. He asked her to step by the Temple of the Wind after dawn to tell Huera about it. The man disappeared in the clouds, saying he had to go to the North Pole. He was truly an unpredictable human being, but now was the time to rely on him.
Aries might want to return to the Celestial Palace right away, but she couldn’t go there because the dimensional door was now blocked.
[Oh, my hair is twisting again.]
Aries’ hair resembled golden wool and was full of curls. She had to manage it frequently but she couldn’t do it now. Oddly enough, she thought of the perverted Kirkinos.
[Ahu, why did I think of that pervert? I am crazy.]
Aries shook her head and forced herself to lie down on the bed. She decided to go to sleep. After a while, she fell asleep. It was a dream where she counted one sheep, two sheep, three sheep.
* * *
At this time, I headed to the North Pole in the cold night breeze. The means of transportation was naturally Jinny. There was no better means of movement. It was a very convenient cloud elemental. I just regretted that I hadn’t obtained Jinny sooner. I hadn’t expected it to be so convenient.
Underneath me, a huge wave swelled. I had passed through the Vulcan volcanic zone and the demon castle where demonization had progressed and entered the huge Atlan Sea. The moonlight reflected on the sea followed me like it was a guide. It had been a long time since I had been to the North Pole so I was in a strange mood as I slowly looked up at the sky.
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ can’t control the shock.]
[The third apostle, ‘Atlas,’ is mourning Lupeon’s death.]
“Cheer up. The living should live.”
Prometheus and Atlas had been in this state since hearing about Lupeon’s death. They believed themselves to be immortal so the fact that Lupeon was dead had a huge impact. Aries also revealed that Lupeon had been stabbed by the claws of Lucifer who had become the demon king.
I told her to tell Huera about this when it became daytime. Right now, I was going to get a new Flying Kick Technique formula. I was on my way to deliver the news to Cadia, goddess of snow and trials.
“Orabeoni, the people talking to you were constellations?”
Park Maksun asked as she followed me on her broom and I nodded slowly. Then I thought of something. I asked her, “I didn’t see your constellation among those gathered earlier?”
“Eh? Do you know who my constellation is?”
“Isn’t it Pythagoras?”
“Hmm, you are like a ghost. How did you know?”
“Hahahaha!”
I couldn’t help laughing at Park Maksun’s reaction.
Park Maksun continued, “Pythago is currently in Oz.”
“Pythago?”
“Now. It is hard to pronounce.”
“Ah...”
“In any case, I heard it was very bloody in the Star Flow System or something. If something had gone wrong then Pythago would’ve died. Shit.”
“Well, I guess so.”
Then Park Maksun bit her lip. I saw it and had a question mark over my head. “Do you have something to say?”
“Isn’t it more convenient to move through space?”
“What? Can you use that?”
“Now. Who do you think I am? I might look like this, but my Pythago is a great magician. Great magician!”
Hah, really. I couldn’t help making an incredulous expression. No, she should’ve said it earlier if she had something like this. Why was she only saying it now?
“Maksun, you should’ve said it earlier.” I covered my face and shook my head from side to side. I couldn’t help feeling frustrated.
However, Park Maksun was hesitating about something. “There is just one condition...”
“Condition? What is it?”
“We have to hold hands to move through space together.”
“...Hand?”
"Yes. Hand.”
Park Maksun shifted her gaze away like she was embarrassed. I couldn’t help laughing. Park Maksun had been very shy as a child and she still seemed the same.
“Well, it is like this so let’s do it in a refreshing manner.”
I held Park Maksun’s hand.
“Oh my, so manly!”
Park Maksun quickly drew a triangular magic circle in the air with her opposite hand and magic power circulated around our bodies. After a while, the two of us were engulfed in blue magic power and disappeared somewhere.
