Several months passed since the treaty was signed.

Paradise was enjoying a well-deserved peace. The Federation and humanity were heading toward a better future without any big incidents or quarrels.

Well, there was one incident. It was a rather big one that raised quite a bit of commotion in Paradise. It was Seol Jihu retiring from Valhalla.

He did not retire from Paradise. Not long after the Half Century Treaty was signed, Seol Jihu resigned as Valhalla’s representative and left the organization.

Valhalla’s representative. In Paradise, it was a position that held more power than the six kingdoms and exerted more influence than the Seven Sins.

Since he stepped down from such a position on his own, it was only natural for all sorts of rumors to spread.

Some said that Seol Jihu was tired of Paradise and would retire. Others suggested that Seol Jihu would found a new organization to lead the unification of Paradise.

“Hmm…. It isn’t as if I haven’t heard this before, but I have to admit. It feels rather strange.”

“Haha, I’m no different. But that’s just how the world works! You might go to sleep one night and wake up to a completely different world. I’m sure we aren’t the only ones who feel this way.”

The old man laughed.

Right, the two men were none other than Edward Dylan and Ian Denzel.

They had revived thanks to Seol Jihu, regained their memories, and were now actively participating in the revitalization of Paradise.

They had come to Eva today to visit a certain person.

“Alright, alright, that’s enough chitchat! Let’s hurry! Didn’t we come to see Eva’s specialty?”

“Huh? No, we….”

“It’s a chilly day, let’s...
