Dekan Had Been Thinking About the Shadow World the Whole Time

"I never imagined... I actually met you so many years ago..."

Her Master's words were filled with pain; the more she tried to delve deeper, the less she could understand her own memories.

"Dekan... who exactly are you...?"

She desperately wanted to retrieve her memories, but she couldn't piece together even the smallest fragments.

"I don't know either. Without a doubt, I was a sunny boy born into this world on January 1st, sixteen years ago."

Dekan replied helplessly.

"But Master, you don't need to be nervous. Judging from the scenes in your memory, we are unlikely to be enemies."

At least in the Master's memory.

Judging from their positions, the Master was standing right next to Dekan.

Given Dekan's personality, he wouldn't let someone or a demon get so close with a relaxed expression unless they were someone he trusted completely.

The Master was restless and seemed to have been thinking for a long time before finally giving up on continuing his futile efforts.

"Dekan, help me, help me regain my memories, I've forgotten something very important!"

The Master's voice was filled with pleading.

This was the first time Dekan had heard his Master use this tone.

She seemed to grow increasingly anxious the more she thought about it.

"Don't worry, Master, I promised you I would find it for you."

Dekan unusually refrained from provoking his Master.

"Um..."

The Master seemed to be exhausted, his mind appearing particularly weary.

Reassured by Dekan's words, he quickly fell back into a deep sleep.

"..."

Dekan confirmed that his Master was soundly asleep.

"This cruel old woman actually has a vulnerable side."

Dekan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"What did you say?"

Suddenly, his Master sent another telepathic message.

"Weren't you asleep?! Are you trying to set a trap for us?!"

"I knew you were going to be sarcastic again. Tomorrow's breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all mine, no objections."

"At most, I'll give you breakfast and lunch."

"I get all three meals a day, and I won't allow myself to commit suicide."

"Ha! You just call me 'Onii-chan~ Freshman Suki,' and I'll give you all three meals."

"You won't have any food the day after tomorrow either."

Just as Dekan and his Master were arguing their point.

"Priest, are you alright?"

"I dare to ask," the lord inquired.

He noticed that Dekan had been staring blankly for a long time.

"Hmm? It's nothing. I was just thinking about Lunn."

Dekan was telling the truth.

"I see. So, sir, are you going to return to the Northern Front? Winter is coming, and the situation in the north will surely worsen."

The lord couldn't help but show a worried expression.

Despite controlling the Southern Border, he was well aware of the importance of the situation in the north.

"My lord, I would like to entrust you with two matters."

Dekan thought for a moment and then said.

Lord: "Please speak. If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my utmost."

Dekan: "I will give you 1,000 Holy Gold Coin. Please entrust a trustworthy person to take these 1,000 Holy Gold Coin to the northern border and bury them at a location we have agreed upon."

Morion left Dekan a total of 2050 Holy Gold Coin, which would be difficult for the two of them and their cat to spend during their extravagant seven-day trip.

Therefore, Dekan plans to set aside a portion of it and transport it to the north.

If the Shadow World is connected.

It's quite possible that the next time he enters the Holy Kingdom's Shadow World, if the distance isn't too far, Dekan will be able to find this huge sum of 1000 Holy Gold Coin and withdraw it for his own use.

The Holy Kingdom is vast, several times the size of the Norton Kingdom.

Even in the present world of Dekan, no kingdom or empire has an area as large as the Holy Kingdom.

Therefore, Dekan was not at all surprised that the southern and northern parts of the Holy Kingdom were like two separate countries.

With only seven days left in the Shadow World, even if Dekan and Cornelia rushed north with all their might, they would not be able to reach the northern part of the Holy Kingdom.

We can only get as far as the Holy Capital.

Therefore, Dekan needed to entrust the lord with the task of transporting the Holy Gold Coin.

"No problem, I swear I will deliver the Gold Coin safely for you!"

The lord patted his chest and answered earnestly.

"What's the other thing you want me to do?"

"The other matter is easy to handle; lend me the city-state's communication equipment for a moment."

"Good!"

The lord agreed without hesitation.

Dekan stretched and yawned to relieve the stiffness in his body from sitting under the tree for so long.

After helping this decent lord clear out those vampire minions this afternoon, Dekan and Cornelia can leave this city-state.

"It's time to spread the word."

Dekan murmured.

"Meow meow meow! Is it finally coming?"

The Cat Teacher leaped up from behind Dekan, pounced on his shoulder, and asked a question near his cheek.

"Yes, this Shadow World has ended; it's time to play the end credits song for the audience."

Dekan doesn't plan to continue livestreaming the remaining tourism segments.

After all, it no longer has much to do with the Shadow World; it's just a simple seven-day luxury tour of the Holy Kingdom.

"Didn't you say you wanted to get revenge on Morion, meow?"

"Hmm, there's no conflict."

Dekan simply replied calmly, as if he had planned it all along.

"Meow?"

In the real world, many viewers left amidst whispers after hearing Dekan announce the end of the Shadow World.

Although some people were also interested in the end credits song that Dekan mentioned at the end.

However, most people don't really care about the end credits and post-credits scenes after the main feature ends.

The live stream feed then switched.

Dekan used the [Magic Recording Crystal] to connect to the [Shadow World Spectator Program].

This crystal contains the first music video of their company's girl group.

The pitch-black scene was slightly illuminated by a faint glow, like three slender puppets standing on a stage before the lights were turned on.

Judging from their figures, they are elegant and mysterious, like works of art created by the goddess of beauty.

At this moment, some audience members turned around.

As people turned around, more and more people, out of curiosity, stopped again and turned their attention back to Dekan's live stream.

"You should have said so earlier if there were pretty girls!"

"Tsk, boring."

"It's nothing more than Dekan wanting to make a few young girls famous."

Some viewers were already showing clear interest, while others were dismissive.

Amidst the audience's anticipation or disdain, the sweet trio's harmonies finally rang out.

"Please, Goddess, help me convey these fluttering feelings! ♫"

The three girls' true forms were still not revealed by the light, but their sweet voices had already made many viewers turn around.

A cheerful and rhythmic prelude begins.

As the prelude ended, a faint light shone on the girl standing on the left.

She gradually revealed her true form in the bright light, like an angel bathed in light.

"Now that things have come to this, I'm at a loss and can only pray to the Goddess ♫"

The audience was finally able to see clearly the mysterious white-haired girl who was the first to sing.
