Chapter 37 The Sun God's Expectations and Vigilance

"I don't know if they can be considered true love in the secular world, but their feelings are indeed very good, which is rare among the Old Gods," said Sasriel with a smile. The former Elf King and Elf Queen were their enemies, but that didn't mean he would slander them.

"Indeed." Rosen nodded in agreement, recalling the virtues of the other ancient gods described in the original work. Then, he naturally noticed the two angel kings approaching and greeted them with a smile, "Ocycus! Leodorus! Are you here to hear some gossip too?"

"That's quite a straightforward way of putting it! Little guy, I'm starting to like you." Leodorus laughed heartily, naturally blending into the group.

"It's because you all gathered together that the two of us seem a bit out of place," Osekus said with a smile, his tone not really complaining, but clearly teasing.

"We're not saying you can't join!" Rosen said with a smile. "Then welcome to our loving family! Do you have any stories to tell?"

"Uh..." Leodorus scratched his head before saying, "I really don't have a story. Does not having a story mean I can't join you?"

"Of course not!" Rosen shook his head, glanced around, and suddenly said thoughtfully, "By the way, wouldn't we say we've isolated Father now?"

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent for a few seconds.

"The Lord won't mind such a thing." In the awkward silence, Sasriel spoke first.

His words immediately eased the atmosphere considerably.

Rosen argued vehemently, "He may not care, but we cannot truly isolate Him. Protecting the lonely old sun god is everyone's responsibility!"

"...What are you planning to do now?" Medici tried hard not to laugh, covering the lower half of his face with his cup before asking.

"Why are you looking so wary? It's not like I want to see other people make a fool of themselves all the time," Rosen said, glancing at Medici with displeasure.

"So you admit you just wanted to see the Lord make a fool of himself, right?" Medici seized on the loophole in his words.

"Guess!" Rosen, of course, wouldn't admit it. Then, he looked around and realized that the Sun God had left the banquet hall sometime earlier. He immediately said, "Huh, where's my dad?"

"The Lord went to the Garden not long ago." As a competent vice-king of the Kingdom of Heaven, Sasriel was clearly paying attention to the movements of the Sun God.

"Then let's go find Him!" Rosen immediately suggested enthusiastically. "Father is one of the main figures at today's banquet; this banquet can't be without Him!"

The angels looked at each other, and although they were all somewhat conflicted, it was clear that they were moved.

Just then, a voice filled with helplessness rang out:

"No need to look for me anymore, I'm back."

Although they were indeed in the garden, the Sun God, who had been keeping an eye on the events in the banquet hall, appeared before everyone. His expression seemed somewhat helpless. His gaze swept over everyone, lingered on Rosen for a moment, and finally settled on Amon's head.

The sun god spoke, "Ammon, may I have this wreath?"

Although he was asking Amon, the Sun God glanced in Rosen's direction as he spoke.

"Of course, Father." Amon was clearly still obedient in front of the Sun God. He nodded and reached out to take off the wreath on his head. This time, the thorns did not pierce his hand.

Rosen watched this scene with a smile, making no attempt to stop it, which was clearly an attitude of tacit approval.

"Thank you." The Sun God accepted the wreath, reached out and ruffled Amon's hair, then looked at Rosen and said after a long while, "They all like you very much."

"I like them very much too," Rosen said with a smile.

The sun god remained noncommittal, only saying, "I only hope that my decision is not wrong."

There are many reasons why He held this banquet. One reason is that He knew the future was going badly, He saw Rosen's overtures and wanted to use His power to change something, Another reason is that He knew He couldn't stop Rosen from contacting others, so He simply wanted to keep everything under control, Another reason is that He wanted to see what Rosen was really like because of Sasriel's persuasion, and Yet another reason is that He believed in the power of the King of the Angels.

The sun god admitted that He remained extremely wary of the child before Him, and this wariness did not diminish with the passage of time; on the contrary, it even intensified.

But perhaps due to that distorted emotion, or perhaps due to Sasriel's persuasion, or perhaps due to a desire for a power that could change the situation, the sun god also harbored a hope in his heart that the person before him was truly a good child, as Sasriel had said.

Will you be the person I hope for? Or are you just a poison disguised as honey?

The sun god lowered his eyes, clutching the thorn wreath in his hand, saying nothing, only leaving a deep sigh.

I hope you will.

But I must be wary that this is not the case for you.

……

After the banquet, the angel kings naturally went about their own business. In this era of newly established order and everything in need of rebuilding, most people were busy, except for Medici, who was a little free, since there was no war at the moment.

But time can always be put in place, so Herabogen was still able to find enough time to teach the children of the gods.

As Sasriel once said, although this cherubim was usually kind and approachable, he was a completely different person when it came to actually teaching. He became strict and rigid, and he loved cramming teaching, believing that if you didn't learn to death, you should keep learning.

When Klein's consciousness returned to this era, he was shocked to see Rosen frowning as he worked on a problem, with a stack of exercise books about half a meter high on his left and a pile of books on his right.

What am I doing here? Is this some kind of college entrance exam preparation site?

Although Rosen had studied before, it was clearly not like this!

"You've come." Rosen looked up and gave the cotton doll he had placed on his desk a "you've finally come" smile.

"Are you... alright?" Klein couldn't help but move back a little.

"I'm fine, but you'll be soon." Rosen grabbed Mr. Fool, who was trying to escape, and gave him a terrifying smile. "See these practice problems over there?"

"...Hmm." Klein nodded with difficulty.

"Our task is to finish writing them tonight. Herabergan will check them tomorrow morning. If the accuracy rate is less than 60%, we can get the title of mentally challenged for free," Rosen said with a smile.

"...Isn't this a bit too much?" Klein was dumbfounded. Although he did intend to study the mystical knowledge diligently, shouldn't beginners start with introductory textbooks? Why did they start with cramming instruction right away!
