‘So when are you going to have the ceremony?’
As soon as they left the room, Cuchulainn asked in a quiet voice. Tae Ho flinched at that surprise attack and asked back unconsciously.
‘W, wedding?’
‘No, the ceremony for the top rank warrior. Ah, so that was the case. Tae Ho wanted to marry Idun-nim hurriedly. So hat was the case.’
Cuchulainn laughed as if it had turned out according to his plan and imitated Heda. It seemed like he used the vague word on purpose to tease him.
Tae Ho let out a sigh inwardly at his prank and then Idun opened her mouth carefully.
“Uh, um. M, my warrior Tae Ho.”
She stuttered. Her cheeks under her eye cover were still red.
Tae Ho also got nervous like her and turned to look at her while flinching and Idun slightly evaded his eyes and spoke.
“I, I will have to go first.”
“Uh……uh, yes. Okay.”
‘The two of you went so haywire.’
Cuchulainn’s interpretation was correct. Idun stuttered once again.
“Uh, yeah. A, and…”
And also indecisive.
She smacked her lips a few times and then shook her head and spoke with a low tone.
“Let’s speak later. Ye, yes. Later at the sanctum. Anyways, later. Kyak!”
She, who was walking while speaking ambiguously, was about to fall on the plain ground. Tae Ho was perplexed because he thought he saw this scene before and Idun who was more bewildered than him said quickly.
“I’m, I’m fine. I’m fine so don’t worry. I am fine indeed. Ye, yes.”
Idun waved her hand and then started to rush away. Thinking about it, it seemed like it was the first time he saw Idun walking that way.
Ragnar shook his head with a sigh as Tae Ho was looking at Idun’s back getting farther away with a dumbfounded face.
“I don’t know what kind of expression I should put on at times like these.”
‘Just think that you can laugh.’
Unfortunately, Cuchulainn’s voice didn’t reach Ragnar. Ragnar let out a few more sighs and then turned to look at the still perplexed Tae Ho.
“Tae Ho, take some breaths for now. Inhale at one and exhale at two.”
Ragnar gave some orders to him.
Whatever the case, Tae Ho’s expression turned much better after breathing. His excited face also returned to normal.
“Did you calm down?”
“Yes.”
For now.
Ragnar frowned at Tae Ho’s answer but he didn’t say anything else as it seemed impossible to make him calm down any further. So he brought out a completely different subject.
“Fine, I have to explain many things to you……the conversation will likely be long so do you want to go to another place first?”
“Another place?”
“Compared to you, your allies will be participating in the next battle. Today is the day if you want to see their faces since they will be departing tomorrow.”
He was talking about Siri, Bracky and the Valkyries that had a deep relationship with him.
“Then I will see Siri and Bracky first.”
He had heard that the two of them were safe from Adenmaha but he would be at ease only when he saw them directly.
“Right, then I will go to Idun’s sanctum first. See you later.”
Ragnar patted on Tae Ho’s shoulders lightly and walked away in the opposite direction Idun had. Tae Ho calmed down himself and Cuchulainn asked him.
‘But hey. Do you know where the guys are at?’
“I can just ask.”
Tea Ho took out a summoning rock from the air.
“Adenmaha.”
“Lullaby~ And good night~ in the skies stars are bright~ master?”
Adenmaha, who was humming in a low voice, was surprised and turned around to look at Tae Ho.
Adenmaha was summoned in a sitting position as if she was sitting somewhere before being summoned so Tae Ho hurriedly grabbed her and then asked.
“Uh…a lullaby?”
The reason he was surprised was because he was seeing Adenmaha sing for the first time.
It seemed like she was singing a lullaby judging by her humming sound, the melody and the lyrics.
Adenmaha flushed at Tae Ho’s question and then answered while pouting.
“I was putting down Nidhogg to take her nap.”
“You also sing lullabies?”
Tae Ho blinked once again and asked. It was surprising for Adenmaha to take care of Nidhogg’s nap and more so for her to also sing a lullaby.
“No, well……I can do it for her why are you acting that way?”
Adenmaha spoke with a quite prim air. It seemed like it was to hide her embarrassment.
Cuchulainn put on a warm smile at that.
‘How nice, nice. She’s a real sucker.’
‘How is that related to each other?’
‘I don’t know. Anyways, she’s nice. Really nice. But doesn’t she have to return quickly if she was putting her to sleep? Nidhogg should be confused now.’
It was quite understandable. He could imagine Nidhogg’s teary face.
It seemed like Adenmaha also thought of the same thing as she spoke before Tae Ho could even ask.
“Don’t worry about Nidhogg. She always pesters me to sing a lullaby everyday but she falls asleep even before I finish some verses. I was just finishing the song so she must be deep asleep by now.”
“I’m glad then.”
Tae Ho also knew that Nidhogg was the type that fell asleep as soon as she lied down. She may be in another world by now just as Adenmaha had said.
“Anyways, what happened? Did you finish speaking with Odin-nim? What did he say he would give you as an award?”
Adenmaha’s eyes that requested for more awards became the same as Idun’s. Tae Ho smiled bitterly and said.
“We didn’t finish speaking completely. I will tell you the details later as I also have to debate it with you anyways.”
“Debate?”
“He told me to think about what I want. But what he promised me for now……”
“20 Valkyries?!”
Adenmaha opened her eyes sharply and raised her voice. Tae Ho was currently holding Gae Bolg in his hands even though he had no memory of grabbing it so he was certain it was Cuchulainn’s doing.
‘What? It’s true.’
Cuchulainn spoke shamelessly and Tae Ho explained quickly.
“We will be getting the top 20 graduates. But what’s more important than that is the land and the treasures.”
The land to set up Erin and the treasures of Erin.
Adenmaha finished listening to Tae Ho’s explanation and then opened her eyes roundly and was happy.
“Wow, they are giving more on top of that? Well, you did accomplish a great merit. Yes, right. You have plenty of rights. Yes yes.”
Her getting excited and boasting as if it was her own doing was exactly the same as a certain someone.
‘She’s so similar to Idun-nim.’
Cuchulainn’s words were certain as usual. It was indeed the insight that came from Scathach’s style techniques.
“Erin……Merlin will like it. Scathach too.”
A warm smile spread on Adenmaha’s face. Tae Ho felt warm at that smile and asked.
“Adenmaha, what about you?”
“I also like it. I think that you keep forgetting this but I’m also a Goddess of Erin.”
“Yes, anyways, let’s speak the details at a later time.”
“Anyways……you really lack delicateness. So what is the reason you called me anyways?”
Adenmaha also asked using the word anyways. Tae Ho put back the summoning rock and then revealed the reason he called Adenmaha.
“Do you know where Siri and Bracky are at? And the Valkyries of the other legions. I want to see them before they depart.”
Adenmaha pouted when he said that he wanted to see the Valkyries but she started to think back and remember.
“Siri and Bracky should be resting at the conference room by now… and the other Valkyries may be at the sanctums of their respective legions. Ah, also……”
“Also?”
“Mm, don’t get surprised when you hear this. The other Valkyries……so to say Rasgrid, Reginleif and Gandur are well but actually Ingrid suffered some injuries. They’re not too severe so don’t worry. This is why I’m telling you not to be surprised…”
Adenmaha frowned and let out a sigh but Tae Ho asked quickly while opening his eyes widely.
“She’s fine, right?”
“She’s not as it is an injury, but it isn’t threatening to her life at all. I know that she’s resting at the sanctum of her legion so calm down.”
“Right. Let’s go meet Ingrid first then.”
The usually calm and sincere Ingrid.
She seemed to be hard on people but that was because she wasn’t skilled at dealing with people. She was really a gentle Valkyrie.
Tae Ho still worried about her even though he had heard that her life wasn’t in danger. He wanted to check how she was doing as soon as he could.
But Adenmaha stopped Tae Ho.
“Siri and Bracky should be on the way so you should go see them first. Just like I told you before, her life isn’t in danger so calm down. You know what I mean right?”
“I understand.”
“Fine. Let’s move then. Follow me.”
Adenmaha grabbed Tae Ho’s arm naturally and started to lead the way.
&
“Ohh, Idun’s warrior!”
“Idun’s warrior!”
“The warrior that had a Valkyrie meet him!”
“The warrior that rides on Valkyries!”
“Giant slayer!”
“The one that defeated the magician king!”
“The calamity of the World Wolf!”
“The Valkyrie Master!”
Those were the voices that were heard from the surroundings as Tae Ho entered the conference room.
Their yells were so loud it shook the entire conference room and Cuchulainn mumbled with a sick voice.
‘The warriors of Valhalla really like to make nicknames.’
It was at that moment that a huge man that was a head bigger than the others approached Tae Ho.
“Tae Ho!”
“Bracky! Siri!”
Tae Ho smiled brightly and said. Bracky and Siri were also putting on the same bright face.
“Let’s hug for now.”
Bracky gave a fierce hug to Tae Ho suddenly. Tae Ho experienced that his body was getting crushed and then hugged Bracky back.
“I’m glad you are safe.”
“I’m also glad that you are safe.”
Tae Ho’s hug was filled with emotions compared to Bracky’s hug. Bracky saw Tae Ho and Siri hugging each other and then slightly pulled on Tae Ho’s shoulders and asked.
“I heard that you passed out and couldn’t wake up but will you also be participating?”
“No, I’m going to rest this time. I’m sorry.”
“Why be sorry? It’s also time for you to rest. No, you should rest a few more times. Only then will I be able to catch up to you.”
Bracky was much stronger than Tae Ho when they were at the lowest rank. But Tae Ho had become a lot stronger in no time.
But thinking about it, Bracky and Siri were also amazing as they were catching up to him.
“You became strong.”
Tae Ho was amazed after he looked at Bracky and Siri with his ‘eyes of the dragon’. The two of them had accumulated twice the runes they had since he saw them in Midgard.
“We fought with strong enemies. But of course, it isn’t be as much as you.”
The two of them had fought against giant kings but still, they couldn’t be compared to Tae Ho who had fought against the magician king and the World Wolf.
“You will become superior ranked warriors, right?”
“It’s not enough but……I think that we will become soon. Then, you will become a top ranked warrior?”
“Probably.”
Tae Ho smirked and answered Siri’s question. Bracky laughed once again and then spoke while embracing Siri by her shoulders.
“You are the pride of our knight. Right Siri?”
“I’m not yours. It seems like you keep forgetting this but I’m your senior by a lot.”
Siri glanced at him and surprisingly enough, she didn’t push away Bracky’s hands.
Tae Ho opened his eyes sharply and Cuchulainn laughed wickedly. Meanwhile, Bracky leaned his face close to Siri’s and said.
“Ey, what meaning does that have between us?”
It was a vague voice. Siri put on an expression as she didn’t like it but it didn’t seem like she really disliked him.
‘What an estimation.’
Cuchulainn said and Tae Ho agreed to his words. Adenmaha’s eyes also shone.
“The two of you……”
“Huhuhu, you noticed? Did you notice?”
Bracky spoke triumphantly. Siri let out a sigh but then put a smile as if she couldn’t do anything about it.
Not being negative but positive.
Tae Ho asked hurriedly while his interest peaked up.
“When did it become like this?”
“Huhuhu…that is when he got dispatched to Mdigard. When Odin disappeared and everything fell in chaos…we, that overcame all kinds of dangers, becoming closer every time. But one day, when the rain fell down heavily……ack!”
Bracky, who was having fun talking, leaned over and grabbed his shin. Siri punched Bracky in the stomach after making him lower his body by kicking him in the shin and said with a sigh.
“Let’s say that what happened that day was certainly a mistake.”
‘Hey, ask if it happened that day or at night. Hurry.’
It was the stubborn Cuchulainn.
And in the other side, Bracky spoke in a tricky voice as if he didn’t receive any damage.
“Hey, don’t be shy…ugh!”
He got hit one more time. It seemed like he got hit properly and couldn’t utter a word.
And after some time passed.
Time flowed really quickly because it was fun just to be with them.
“Captain Siri, have a safe trip. Don’t over do it. And if possible take care of Bracky too.”
“I told you to not call me capt……right, let’s meet at the promotion ceremony.”
For Tae Ho, captain Siri was none other than a nickname.
Tae Ho shared a hug with Siri and then turned to look at Bracky.
“You too, have a safe trip. I will entrust captain Siri to you.”
“Don’t worry. It may be impossible to protect the tip of her hair but I won’t let her get hurt.”
Tae Ho also shared a hug with Bracky and then left the conference room. Then, Cuchulainn clicked his tongue and spoke.
‘Poor Rolph. You don’t even ask about him anymore. He could also be considered as a comrade.’
‘Ah, now that you mention him.’
He had completely forgotten about him. Rolph must have also participated in this battle. Nothing would have happened, right?
‘Well, he should be safe. Siri would definitely have told you if something did happen. Anyways, she said that she thought about him as her younger brother. Um, younger brother. He’s somewhat poor.’
‘But he’s still handsome. He will get a new relation.’
Tae Ho finished speaking to Cuchulainn and walked away to meet with Ingrid.
“Commander-nim?”
“It’s a meeting.”
Tae Ho went to the injured ward as soon as he entered Njord’s sanctum and smirked. It seemed like Ingrid was receiving quite good treatment since she was given a one man room.
“Thank you for visiting me.”
“Ey, I told you not to use formal language in informal occasions.”
Ingrid rose up with difficulty and Tae Ho helped her raise herself.
Ingrid sat up with difficulty and then spoke while laughing after hesitating for a bit.
“I’m glad to see you safe.”
“Me too. Do you know how surprised I was when I heard that you got injured?”
“I will get better after I rest a bit.”
“You should. And here.”
She had bandages wrapped all over her body but it seemed like the problem was internal rather than external. Because of that, Tae Ho took out something he had saved.
“Uh, that’s…”
“Take it. No, eat it. It’s a piece anyways. Don’t feel troubled by it.”
A piece of a golden apple. It was one of the many Idun had prepared for the fight against the magician king.
It was a piece but still it wasn’t something a Valkyrie could eat easily. Ingrid hesitated for a moment and then smiled faintly.
“Thank you. I will eat it gratefully.”
“If you are grateful, recover completely.”
“Alright.”
It was a bit stiff but her smile was warm as usual.
And after some time passed.
“Let Idun’s blessing accompany you.”
“Let Njord’s blessing accompany you.”
They blessed each other in their foreheads and put smiled at the same time.
&
“It seems like you had many places to visit.”
“It somehow turned out that way.”
‘Is it to increase the completion rate of your saga or your heart is black? I want to know that.’
Because he had met all the Valkyries he knew.
Adenmaha was watching with sharp eyes as if she was thinking of the same thing as Cuchulainn and then let out a long sigh and spoke to Tae Ho.
“I will be going to Nidhogg then. It’s about time she woke up.”
‘She’s a real mom.’
Looking at how she cared for Nidhogg, she looked more like a mom rather than an unnie.
Tae Ho agreed to Cuchulainn’s words like usual and turned to look at Ragnar.
Ragnar pointed to a secluded direction with his chin.
“Shall we start our conversation over there?”
