Achievement Distribution.

The silence of roughly ninety thousand gods fell heavily.

Among them, Aetas along with Mors, Genesis, Spatium, and Ludicer could not raise their faces and hung their heads low.

‘That’s that, right?’

‘Yeah, it’s Kim Han’s.’

‘Wow. I get mad hearing it again.’

‘What should I do? I’m a little embarrassed for the Creator.’

‘Ah, act like it’s nothing. Calmly!’

While the five goddesses huddled and whispered, Amor, who had just received a mental blow head-on, turned a bluish shade.

Amor’s poker face, which never lost its smile in any situation, was completely shattered.

“Father!!”

“Don’t do that.”

“…Yes?”

“If anyone heard, they’d really think she’s my daughter. You don’t act like that to a bachelor who hasn’t even gotten married yet.”

“…Eek! Are you joking right now?”

“You only realized that now? You’re less perceptive than I thought.”

“Pffft—!”

“Heh heh heh!”

“Hoho, hohoho.”

The Creator’s uncharacteristic joke made the other gods unable to hold back laughter, and Amor finally exploded with anger.

This was not the picture she had wanted.

As if to say she was different from them, if the high-being hadn’t been the Creator, she would have punched that face first.

“Are you really refusing to tell us why you changed the ego of the ‘Setting’?! Can you take responsibility?!”

As if threatening, no, Amor’s words, which sounded like a threat, rapidly cooled the laughter-filled atmosphere.

The surrounding gods were all surprised, and even the gods aligned with Amor stepped back from her.

Aetas and Mors rose in intensity, Genesis drew two blood-red daggers and gripped them. Spatium was calm, but the space around Amor trembled like waves.

Only then did Amor realize her mistake. From the human world’s perspective, she had essentially threatened the Creator, who holds status above an emperor, despite her relatively high rank. And she did it in front of all the other gods.

“Amor……”

“F-Father… th-that is…”

Amor stammered and trembled not only because of the four goddesses’ show of force. Her usually composed expression had collapsed and she didn’t know what to do.

She bowed her head and racked her brain for an excuse, but no suitable answer came to mind.

“You really want to know that badly? Enough to pour threats at me?”

“Ah, Father.”

“Alright, then go ahead and try.”

“…Yes? What…”

Just as the Creator was about to speak, Ludicer sighed and shook her head as if something had occurred to her.

‘Ah, please don’t. That can’t be done.’

‘What’s wrong? Ludicer?’

‘Hmm?’

‘Don’t do what?’

‘…Do you know something?’

“Pre.sen.ta.tion.”

“……?”

“…Sir, it’s a presentation.”

“……”

‘Ugh……’

Ludicer’s groan spread lowly.

The size of roughly three or four average classrooms combined. The combined area of my bedroom and study is the same as this.

On the floor of that wide space, all kinds of spoils were scattered in disorder. Even so, there were still spoils in the pocket of the pocket-dimension that hadn’t come out yet.

It wasn’t a small task to organize and make documents by category to the point I wondered if I shouldn’t have offered to do it.

A sigh of helplessness rose. It was like a scene that reminded me of a garbage dump. Luckily, my overflowing stamina stat—trusting that alone, I stubbornly began to go around with a notepad and organize things by hand.

While I was wrestling with the organization for a long time.

Ting-tong— bong!

Light shone from the jewelry box on the floor and an administrator appeared with a sparkling background like the effect when an ordinary girl transforms into a sailor-suit heroine. A fairy.

It looked around, spotted me, and flew over screaming like a high school girl who’d discovered a celebrity.

“Kyaa! Master!”

Sprinkling golden dust, it rushed over and clung to my chest like chewing gum.

I carefully lifted its wings and placed them on my shoulder, and it burst into a tinkling laugh.

And the sorting work resumed.

“Master, Master. What are you doing?”

“I’m organizing.”

“Why are you organizing?”

“Because it’s easier to view if organized by category.”

“Mm… why do you do it like that?”

I wondered how to deal with the creature that kept asking the same childish question, and its next question was strange.

“Why like this?”

“So if you do it like this… yip!”

Shhrrr— shhrrr—

With a cute battle cry, equipment and various spoils danced in the air as if moved by psychokinesis. It was exactly the shock of someone who’d been using a calculator meeting Excel for the first time.

They neatly stacked or leaned in a row against the wall.

Not only that, a sheet of paper flew from the desk and landed on the categorized items. The paper had the names of the items listed by category.

“…Ugh.”

“Hehe. Did I do well?”

I gently stroked the head of the creature that sought praise and felt a sense of emptiness. In common terms, the mixed feeling of having done something pointless.

“Then please finish this as well.”

I sighed and handed over the pocket-dimension pouch; it answered cheerfully “Yes!” and began organizing steadily.

What frustrated me further was that it put every technical manual it grabbed into a ‘schoolbag’. Puzzled, I opened the ‘schoolbag’.

―Tactics Manual (54)

―Terrain Map (12)

…

―Technical Manual (109)…(110)

―Spellbook (97)…(99)

―Job Change Manual (11)

The ‘schoolbag’ that organized itself. Similarly, spirit shards, gems, divine power stones, magic gems, etc., could be placed in the ‘jewelry box’.

Excluding the items that go into the two places, it was mostly equipment and crafting items, and their amount was reduced to less than half.

Before I knew it, it finished organizing and flew over laughing “Kyaruru!” holding a large sheet of paper. Judging by the spoils alone, this expedition was definitely beyond expectations.

Thanks to the administrator fairy, the spoils organization finished earlier than expected, and for the first time in a while I enjoyed leisure on the terrace.

On the table, the Ja-ryong (juvenile purple dragon) and the fairy each hugged a bottle of fruit juice the size of their bodies and sipped through straws without a word.

‘Confirmed.’

“Pffft! Cough! Cough!”

“Kya hahaha!”

“Gyaa!!”

I was curious whether the administrator was a fairy or a vampire, and its earlier organizing display was so astonishing that I checked its info and spat out my drink.

The administrator and the Ja-ryong enjoyed that even more.

‘What! This tiny thing has 90 strength. Could it beat priests in an arm-wrestling match?’

“Master?”

Sensing my stare, the administrator tilted its head and called me, tilting its head with an expression that said, ‘I don’t know anything.’

“Don’t you have a name?”

“Yes……”

When I asked for its name, it immediately bowed its head, its two pairs of wings drooping as it sulked.

“So the emperors didn’t even name you?”

“Hehe… Other masters wouldn’t even let me drink blood. But Master, you smell nice and let me drink blood, so I like you! The best!!”

“Tsk. Cura. Your name is Cura.”

“…Huh? Really! Wow! Wow! Cura!”

“What it means is…”

“One who cares for others. It means a nurturing being, Master.”

“You even know the ancient language… ugh. You are an ancient being.”

“Yes! Hehe. Cura, Cura? Cura! Curacura. Cura? Hehe.”

Cura, repeating its name for a while, suddenly tapped the Ja-ryong’s head, then pointed at its own chest with a tiny hand and said.

“I’m Cura. You?”

“Gyaa!”

―I’m a Ja-ryong!

“Ah, so you’re Gyaa. I’m Cura. You’re Gyaa.”

“Gya, gyaa!!”

―No, I said I’m a Ja-ryong!

“Alright, alright. I’m Cura. Ku-ra. Say it.”

“Gya, gyaa!!”

―You idiot!

In the late afternoon as the sun set, while the sunset blazed hot, the two’s process of learning each other’s names grew increasingly intense.

‘But is this thing a fairy or a vampire? Why does it drink blood?’

First breakfast after returning from the expedition.

The dining hall was buzzing with noise even before I stepped in.

When I opened the dining hall door and entered, the pent-up noise poured out all at once.

As always, I sat between Hazel and Lee Hyo-ju in the usual seats, and steaming food was placed before me.

“Thanks.”

I greeted them as usual and was about to eat, but something was off. Hands too rough and coarse to be a wizard’s caught my eye—almost like a warrior’s hands….

Turning my head, an unexpected figure stood wearing the uniform maids wear when serving.

“Nana? Huh? Hippoly?”

Newly joined Nana and Hippoly, who cleaves monsters vertically with a halberd, stood nearby in surprisingly fitting maid outfits.

Especially Nana almost came up to Hazel’s chest, making the topmost button of the maid outfit nervous.

“Hehe. Enjoy your meal, Captain.”

“…Enjoy your meal.”

They said that and scampered through the dining hall. But it wasn’t just the two; Soria was also serving using elementals.

“What’s this now?”

“They say it’s a vacation.”

The answer came from beside me. Lee Hyo-ju spoke with a bright smile rarely seen on her face. It made her look exactly like a college girl of that age.

“It’s because of the construction of a theme park. As you know, it’s basically an ancient ruin, right? Naturally, wizards’ eyes would light up. But among the wizards of the five magic towers, many of the skilled ones who could be deployed in the field are working at the mansion. So we decided we’d help with simple tasks like this. It’s a kind of vacation, a vacation.”

“…That’s a vacation? Not a business trip?”

“Hoho. I said that too, but the people leaving insist it’s a vacation, what can you do. Hoho.”

I looked again at the steaming steaks and the members bustling back and forth carrying plates. Both those working and those being served seemed happy.

“By the way… can I eat this?”

“Hohoho. Yes, the chef isn’t on vacation. We haven’t found a suitable replacement yet.”

After a complicated morning, I called all the members to the first-floor hall. Seventy-four members gathered excluding me. Without orders, they stood in line behind their squad leaders.

I passed by them, went forward, and posted a large sheet of paper on the wide hall wall.

“You all probably know roughly. These are the spoils we obtained from this expedition.”

“Wow!”

“Seeing it like that really makes it look huge…”

“Waaa….”

“Captain!!”

Among the admiring members, the one who raised his hand and called me as always was Arun.

I briefly considered ignoring him, but since it was in front of the members and he was a squad leader, I couldn’t treat him that way, so I nodded.

“From here to there—so the spoils from the Archlich, Elder Death Knight, and Skeleton King are the captain’s, aren’t they? The raw dragon byproduct there too. Even the spoils from the imperial palace report seem largely credited to you, Captain, since you know the report location and the release spell, right?”

That’s the problem. Out of nowhere and without warning, sometimes Arun is really not like his usual self. So it’s hard to ignore him every time.

‘That bastard who’s not his beautiful Arun self….’

“We’ll handle that later… Tell me what you want later.”

“You can’t do that…”

“Huh? What?”

“Huh? Oh, Talis said that. He said that the human race, if you show them consideration, will come to mistake it for a right. It somehow seemed perfect for this situation.”

I tell you! That doesn’t sound like Arun at all! That serious face suits only Proy or Lee Hyo-ju!

“Arun is sane for once. Kim Han, he’s right. Even leaving that aside, the spoils are enormous.”

Lee Hyo-ju spoke in her characteristically cold and rational voice. The members around nodded.

These aren’t ordinary items. Especially the spoils from the Archlich, Elder Death Knight, and Skeleton King are so outstanding you’d grab someone’s collar.

Didn’t I say? Whether as historical artifacts or item performance, they’re all ‘Legend’ grade.

In another sense, didn’t Naruan’s ‘True Flame’ slaughter the doppelgänger in an instant? That ‘True Flame’ is ‘Legend’ grade.

“…Alright. Still, if there’s anything among the spoils I obtained that you want, come find me separately. I’ll be in the study all day, so don’t hesitate. And Merus.”

“Yes. Me?”

“Yes, you. Follow me right now.”

“Yes. (Did I do something wrong?)”

Merus whispered to Arun, who had no idea. Watching Arun shrug, Merus made a doleful face.

It’s not that she was called aside for doing something wrong. How did that dumb guy become a mastermind?

I met Merus in the study; she followed me with her shoulders slumped.

Just by looking at the status window, you can tell how much she trained after joining the legion at the start of his 4th year.

Though she always fools around with Arun and is called a fool brother, she’s one of the members who trains more seriously and lives more joyfully than anyone.

Moreover, leveraging a lizardman’s characteristic fast physical recovery, she trained harsher than others. That’s how the talent ‘Indomitability’ newly blossomed.

‘But why….’

She had thoroughly stayed in the background during this expedition.

If she’d worked harder than anyone, it would be natural for her to show off her skills or at least want to test them.

“Do you want to die?”

“Huh? Suddenly?”

Merus jumped in surprise.

“No, you have that divine aura thing, right? I’m asking because I wondered if it was time for you to die.”

“Yes?”

“Or why is it like that?”

“So what is it!”

Frustrated, Merus slammed her chest and blurted back loudly.

“Why did you stay back and not take part in this expedition? Other than that unnecessary confession of being a crown prince in the palace report at the end, you didn’t step up, right?”

“…Huh?”

“See? I might not know about others, but I know you—you aren’t that dumb, are you? But you stayed too far in the back.”

“…Sigh. You scared me!”

“Why? Did you do something so bad you deserve death by my hand?”

“As if I would do that?!”

Relaxing, Merus flopped into a chair, glared at me, and scowled.

Partly I wanted to tease him, but also because he’s so sly, I started with this frivolous conversation.

Merus hesitated a moment, sighed heavily, and began to tell her circumstances.

In short, it’s because her position overlapped with Lee Hyo-ju’s.

Even in Talis’s practical training, she stood opposite Lee Hyo-ju and engaged in strategic duels, so Merus is also excellent at strategy and tactics.

But that’s when she was on the opposing side; when working together as legion members, if the roles of leader and deputy aren’t clear, orders can become confused. That’s why she stepped back.

“Lee Hyo-ju is certainly exceptional. Above all, her deployment of formations according to the situation is unimaginably inventive even to me. So I decided to support or advise her tactics and commands in battle.”

“I see. So you acted as a combat representative?”

“Exactly. Sometimes when an unknown entity appears, I gather information and relay it to Lee Hyo-ju.”

Merus originally had a talent for administration and governance. After she and Lee Hyo-ju divided tasks, the training environment for Rebound members improved.

“If that’s the case, good job. Next: why did that happen downstairs earlier?”

“…Yes?”

“Are you going to make me say it twice? Why did fool Arun do that!”

The real reason I called Merus. No matter how I thought about it, fool Arun wouldn’t say such a serious thing at the right timing; she must’ve been instigated by someone.

“W-well?”

“What kind of trick is this? What’s going on?”

“Ah, no matter what, how can I tattle on the members? Ha, haha.”

“Tsk. Go and tell him. Don’t do useless things. Take this. It’s a gift.”

“Yes?”

History books. The family histories from the Archlich, Elder Death Knight, and Skeleton King; the imperial annals found in the ‘schoolbag’ item; and finally the ‘Blood Tablet’ found in the secret room.

These were books Merus usually went crazy for. His eyes sparkled as he looked at the five thick books stacked neatly on the desk.

Just as Merus was about to pick up the five thick books.

“……?”

“Captain?”
