Iliya, You Wouldn't Want Me Arrested for Being Mistaken for a Pedophile, Would You?

"Just the identity of a Heroic Spirit Summoner?! How arrogant, ignorant, and foolish! The identity of a Heroic Spirit Summoner is an honor, the recognition of you by the human ancestors in the Heroic Spirit God Realm. The Heroic Spirits you summon have all contributed to humanity."

Do you think you've only abandoned your identity as a [Heroic Spirit Summoner]? You've also abandoned and despised those powerful individuals who once contributed to humanity.

A golden phantom appeared in the dark red sky. The heroic spirit chasing Iliya projected its image directly above Red Dragon City. It wanted to see what a human who casually abandoned the identity of a heroic spirit summoner looked like.

"That's unreasonable. You were the one who first said you wanted to ask the Heroic Spirit God King to strip me of my status as a Heroic Spirit Summoner. It wasn't me who wanted to give up my status as a Heroic Spirit Summoner."

Even if I were to voluntarily relinquish my identity as a Heroic Spirit Summoner, I would never have any intention of disrespecting the many Heroic Spirits of the Heroic Spirit God Realm.

On the contrary, I voluntarily gave up my identity as a Heroic Spirit Summoner because I respected the Heroic Spirits of the Heroic Spirit God Realm and didn't want to make things difficult for them.

When you fight me, you can fight to your heart's content without any worries.

Loyalty and righteousness are hard to reconcile; one must choose the lesser of two evils.

I simply chose a path that is friendly to the Heroic Spirit God Realm, but cruel to me, the summoner of heroes.

You wouldn't want to see a Heroic Spirit Summoner kicking a Heroic Spirit when they're down and betraying them, would you? Would the Heroic Spirits of the Heroic Spirit God Realm like such a Summoner? I think the Heroic Spirits of the Heroic Spirit God Realm probably prefer a Summoner who fights against all the heroes of the world for the sake of their protected Heroic Spirit.

Although they are forced to stand on opposite sides due to their positions, I believe that the vast majority of Heroic Spirits can understand.

Therefore, Your Excellency, even if my status as a Heroic Spirit Summoner is stripped by the Heroic Spirit God King, I will still choose to stand by Iliya's side.

Don't worry, I won't hold a grudge against the Heroic Spirit God Realm because of this, because it was my own choice.

Tragic, resolute, fearless, and unwavering even in the face of death.

The phantom of the heroic spirit projected above Red Dragon City was shocked by Lance's words and attitude.

I initially thought he was an arrogant, ignorant, and foolish heroic spirit summoner.

Unexpectedly, he was a warrior who was forced to become an enemy of the Heroic Spirit God Realm for the sake of friendship and to protect the Heroic Spirits.

No one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes.

Including heroic spirits.

Few Heroic Spirit Summoners would choose to antagonize the entire Heroic Spirit God Realm for the sake of a Fallen Heroic Spirit who has erred.

If one's guardian spirit becomes Fallen Heroic Spirit, most spirit summoners will immediately break the spirit summoning contract.

In the hearts of Heroic Spirit Summoners, the fact that their Guardian Heroic Spirit becomes Fallen Heroic Spirit means that their Guardian Heroic Spirit stands on the opposite side of the Heroic Spirit God Realm.

A Heroic Spirit Summoner would never abandon the entire Heroic Spirit God Realm for the sake of a single Guardian Heroic Spirit.

Previously, a Heroic Spirit who was hunting down Fallen Heroic Spirit could easily make the Heroic Spirit Summoner give up the idea of helping him protect the Heroic Spirit by simply using the move of removing the Heroic Spirit Summoner's identity.

"Are you sure you want to give up your identity as a Heroic Spirit Summoner for a Fallen Heroic Spirit?"

"Loyalty and righteousness are difficult to reconcile."

"You, a Dark Heroic Spirit Summoner, say that loyalty and righteousness cannot be reconciled. Don't you find that laughable?"

"Dark Heroic Spirit Summoner also have their own personal charm. Not all villains are vicious and inhuman beasts."

boom--

A dense black-gold light shot up from Lance's Heroic Spirit Array and disappeared into the clouds.

"Heroic Spirit— Iliya, answer the call!"

The next moment, a figure about 1.5 meters tall descended from the sky and appeared on Lance's Heroic Spirit Summoning Array.

A golden light followed closely behind, but it did not appear on Lance's Heroic Spirit Array. Instead, it stood in the void, using the power of the stars in the Heroic Spirit God Realm to dispel the black and red mist that shrouded Red Dragon City.

The Fallen Heroic Spirit Iliya officially appears as a Heroic Spirit on Lance's Heroic Spirit Summoning Circle.

He is 1.53 meters tall and has a youthful face that has never changed.

A warhammer, about 1.6 meters long, was placed beside him.

Her long, golden-brown hair was casually draped behind her, reaching past her hips.

Bright, watery blue eyes stared at Lance.

"Lance, I've been searching for you in the Heroic Spirit God Realm for so long, and I've been waiting for you for so long."

???

Lance's smile turned into wariness. He stared at Iliya was less than 1.55 meters tall, for a long time before saying in a deep voice, "Iliya, you don't want me to be mistaken for a pedophile and taken away by all the skeletons, humans, elves, dragons, dogs, and heroic spirits here, do you?"

"???"

Pedophilia?!

Damn it, is Lance implying that she'll never grow taller?!

wrong.

Did Lance think she wanted to confess her feelings to him? Or did he mistakenly believe that she had fallen for him?

"What are you thinking? I'm not going to confess my feelings to you. The reason I'm looking for you and waiting for you in the Heroic Spirit God Realm is to ask you if you can concoct a potion that will make me grow taller and make my face more mature and attractive."

It's not what you think, and I certainly wouldn't fall for a young old man like you who's got that grandfatherly air about him.

???

A young old man with a grandfatherly air? Lance stared wide-eyed. He never dreamed that his image in Iliya's mind would be that of a young old man with a grandfatherly air.

Shouldn't he have a very fatherly air about him? "We'll talk about height and appearance later. Can you tell me why you became Fallen Heroic Spirit?"

He's even wanted by hell.

The Heroic Spirit Array has dissipated, the Heroic Spirits have arrived, and the Heroic Spirit Array is temporarily useless and does not need to be maintained.

"The heroic spirits of the Heroic Spirit God Realm have deceived me!"

How did they bully you?

"They call me Little Bean, and when we have a feast, they always make me sit at the same table as the children. I said I wanted to date, but they said children shouldn't date too early."

Even worse, the summoner originally didn't want to summon me because I was petite and had a youthful face.

Finally, some Heroic Spirit Summoners developed feelings for me, but then they said that anyone who could develop feelings for Little Bean like me must either have ulterior motives or be a pervert.

When the summoners who had feelings for me summoned me again, they responded to the summons before I did, and then, as heroic spirits, threatened the summoners who had feelings for me, forbidding them from summoning me.

Not only do they prevent the Heroic Spirit Summoners from summoning me, but what's even worse is that they're dating and they want me to deliver their love letters.

When they got married, they asked me to be a flower girl. When I wanted to date, they said, "You're still young, don't rush it. Wait until you're older, taller, and more mature, then you can date."

Before you grow up, anyone who dares to date Little Bean you will have their legs broken. Since I can't date, no Heroic Spirit Summoner will summon me; I'll have to stay in the Heroic Spirit God Realm.

Even if the scenery of the Heroic Spirit God Realm is comparable to the fairyland you described, you'll get tired of it after a while.

Most importantly, there are no potions in the Heroic Spirit God Realm that can make me grow taller or make my face look like an adult's.

The Transformation Technique is illusory and has a time limit. When the time is up, I will revert to my original form.

I thought of you. You sacrificed yourself to help your teammates defeat the Demon King. Logically, you should have had the opportunity to become a Heroic Spirit. Thinking of this, I searched for you in the Heroic Spirit God Realm Heroic Spirit God Realm, but I couldn't find you anywhere. Then I thought of the Abyss Devil.

I suspect you died in the abyss, and your soul may still be trapped in the "Demon God Paradise" within the abyss.

I was thinking of finding an opportunity to go to the Abyss to take a look. After a long period of observation, I discovered that Abyss Devil summon familiars or other beings, corresponding summoning rifts would occasionally appear in the dark areas of the Heroic Spirit God Realm.

I secretly went to the Abyss several times as a Heroic Spirit, hoping to find your soul.

As the number of times increased, I became infected with the aura of the abyss, and later, Fallen Heroic Spirit came into contact with me.

After several encounters with Fallen Heroic Spirit, I defected. After my defection, I answered the summons of the Dark Heroic Spirit Summoner and helped Dark Heroic Spirit Summoner defeat the heroes of the Heroic Spirit God Realm. Then I was wanted by the Heroic Spirit God Realm.

Lance, I want to grow taller, I want to become more mature and beautiful, I want long legs.
