Chapter 202
In the original house, where a man lives alone, there is an odor called the smell of widowers. In fact, not only men but also adults usually live alone like this.
So use a deodorant, ventilate, or wash once a day to get rid of the smell. I also hate that kind of smell, so I often ventilate it.
But now you don’t have to. The fragrant scent of lilac vibrates from my body, and as long as I ventilate it properly, it’s over.

Even after going out for a while, the scent of flowers in the dormitory is sweet, but it was not without problems.
“Son. Have you ever sprayed perfume on you?”
“no.”
“But why does it smell like this?”
The reaction of those around you. Especially as a teaching assistant who has to visit the laboratory frequently, the laboratory was filled with the fragrant smell of flowers.
“Smells good… Better than the smell of a musty book…”
“What’s good. It’s hard because your nose is tingling.”
“It’s because the professor doesn’t know… how fragrant flowers are…”
Cindy said she liked the scent of lilac, while Elena frowned as she covered her nose. Apparently, unlike Cindy, Elena has a sensitive sense of smell.
Still, the sense of smell is the fastest of the body organs, so I got used to it after a while. I had no choice but to open the window to ventilate.
These reactions were the same when meeting other people after class.
“Sniff. Sniff. Sniff. Isaac. Did you spray perfume?”
“no?”
“But it smells good. Sniff. Sniff.”
When I was dating Marie after a long time, she put her nose all over my body and sniffed it.
She smiled bitterly at the subtle feeling, but Marie’s actions were cute, so she stayed still.
Marie said that she liked the body odor that she gave me from the beginning, and she often complained about it, so I am used to this kind of situation.
It’s a bit of a problem that people passing by don’t care even if they look at me with strange eyes.
“I didn’t change the soap… I didn’t really spray perfume, did I?”
“Because it’s not. It’s just that I received divine power from Luminus-sama.”
“Sacred power? Oh, somehow. So this must be the scent of lilac flowers?”
Marie was also familiar with the myth, so she noticed that my body smelled like lilac flowers. Still, the act of putting my face into my body and smelling it did not stop.
He smiled warmly as he looked like a puppy trying to recognize the owner’s scent and gently stroked her gray hair.
Marie, who had been burying her face in my chest at the same time, raised her head as soon as I stroked her hair to face me. The clear blue eyes were really lovely.
“Isn’t it too strong or not?”
“Yeah! I’m so good? How long will this last?”
“Well? Probably for a while. I plan to go to the temple every weekend.”
The method Luminus taught me is very simple. After receiving enough divine power to vibrate the scent of lilac, exercise more vigorously than usual and you are done.
Since the divine power relieves the burden on the body, it can dramatically increase the stamina, and the amount of the divine power consumed increases as the intensity increases.
It’s a very simple principle, but Paladins are just Paladins. It seems simple but difficult because sincerity and perseverance are important.
“Why the temple? Do you have any tiring work?”
“… …”
When I heard the question, I looked at Marie. A woman who is loved is beautiful on its own, but now Marie has become more and more beautiful as the days go by.
Her white hair was shiny enough to reflect light, and her skin was full of elasticity even though she wasn’t taken care of.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m growing up or for some other reason, but my body is getting better and better.
She has completely escaped from the appearance of a young girl and is growing up as an adult.
Awkward-
“Ugh?”
“Yeah. Who made me so tired?”
Marie made a cute sound when I pinched her cheek for a moment, then blinked her eyes at the next words.
Afterwards, he smiled embarrassed that he was being stabbed.
“Yeah, it’s better than Sesiri. Lately, I’ve been taking my time.”
A cute girlfriend who makes excuses with her pronunciation smashed in the wind by pinching her cheeks. I rubbed her cheeks to my heart’s content.
As the elasticity of the skin has increased, it has a very good elasticity to the touch. It was worth seeing Marie’s face being ruined here and there.
Finally, I opened my mouth as I pressed her cheeks together like steamed buns and then released them.
“Yeah. I’m glad I’ve been on my own lately. Even before the vacation, there was no sign of it being extinguished like a burning firewood.”
“That’s a long time ago. And if there’s no firewood, the fire goes out.
“Does that mean you like me less than before?”
“A. My analogy is s*xuality and liking Isaac is the same. Is it good just to be next to you?”
Marie grabbed my arm, speaking in a loving tone. And even rubbing his cheeks like a puppy.
Previously, Marie had a high level of desirability, but these days, the frequency of her aegyo has increased. Conversely, Cecily became more and more desperate, just as Marie had done before.
They each exude different charms, so even though it was hard on the body, the mind was stable. Truly, compared to my previous life, I can say that my life has been blessed.
“Sniff. Sniff.”
“…can’t you just stop taking it?”
“I’ll take it a little longer. I think it’s addictive.”
“Didn’t you say that before?”
“Is that so? It’s just that you like it. Is this the smell of flesh or where is it? I’m curious.”
“… …”
Today, I finally decided to go straight to the inn. There was no s*xual desire in Marie’s eyes, but on the contrary, her curiosity was full.
I wonder if I should go to an inn to satisfy that curiosity. I laughed bitterly and moved on to another topic.
At the same time, I have a question for Marie as well.
“By the way, Marie. Do you know anything about Leona?”
“Huh? Ah. That auburn haired girl? Of course you know.”
The reason Marie knows Leona is simple. This is because Leona is an exemplary image among her current classmates.
A student who is always diligent in class and participates in almost every class. He has a great passion for exploring knowledge and is favored by many professors.
Besides, it is hidden because of her hairy hairstyle like a lion’s mane, but she is also famous among her classmates because of her good looks.
“He didn’t come to this class, what’s wrong? I wonder if he’s been to all classes other than the history class.”
“Um… No? I haven’t even been to any other classes. I guess there’s something wrong with it.”
“Hmm…”
Leona, who used to come into every class, fell into every class… This must have something to do with the Animers.
Maybe he went out of Halo Academy so other people wouldn’t notice. I also have indirect responsibilities, so I’m a little worried.
In the first place, Suin entered Halo Academy after hiding her identity to gain knowledge. Like Adelia, whose family history is complicated, there is a high probability that there is a mixture of complicated circumstances.
“By the way, why Leona?”
“Because the professor asked. Well, each person has their own circumstances.”
“That’s right.”
I thought about how I could help Leona, but I couldn’t come up with a proper way.
Arwen could ask me for help during a similar incident, the mixed race, but the conditions were different.
Arwen not only knew I was Xenon, but he was also an elf. He can ask for help whenever and wherever he wants.
Leona, on the other hand, has no idea that I am Xenon. She is in a very ambiguous situation for her to ask for her help.
“Isaac.”
“yes?”
“What do you think about the Animers situation? It’s not even a fuss these days.”
After thinking about something else for a while, when Marie asked such a question, I couldn’t help but be startled. I was stunned for a moment, then regained my composure right away.
The current situation of the Animers is serious enough that it would not be strange if a civil war broke out immediately.
Knowing well that fighting will inflict great damage, they just keep quiet, and it’s like a gunpowder. So maybe the world is watching.
A king who is faithful to the tradition, and the servants who, on the contrary, must discard the tradition. From a distance, it was a fight between the two, but fundamentally, they are fighting over the identity of the beast.
The Holm River cut off the head of the warchief, and as a result, questions began to follow the tradition and culture that had united the beasts.
“Well… it’s more complicated than I thought. Tradition is an inseparable thing for beasts. Do you know about hik?”
“No. I don’t know. Who is it?”
“You can think of him as the father of the beasts and the founding king of the nation. He is a hero among the heroes who gathered together the beasts scattered around the world after the tribal war 300 years ago. “
Hik was a veteran of the tribal war and a beast as strong as an elf warrior. Naturally, the name is well known not only to the same beast, but also to the humans who were enemies.
However, no matter how strong a person was, he had only one body, so he had no choice but to watch the indiscriminate slaughter of beasts by humans.
If it was an ordinary prisoner, of course, it would have been a disastrous tragedy, but Hick suppressed his ‘anger’ and pointed out the fundamental problems one by one. As a result, he realized that the beasts could not be united with each other and were scattered.
“Hick applied for the Holm River for each tribe and sent them in through an incredibly strong force. But the interesting thing is that he did not apply for the Holm River haphazardly, but persuaded him in the first place. 60%, 30% went to the Holm River, and 10% to the guitar. And even that Holm River didn’t take anyone’s life.”
“You didn’t take your life? If you force someone who doesn’t want to come under you, won’t nine out of ten become reactionaries?”
Marie asked with a puzzled expression. In fact, it is also the weak point of the Holm River. The result is determined by victory or defeat, regardless of the will of the opponent.
This means that whatever complaints I have with me, I have to shut up and follow them. In the worst case, you could lose your life.
The tradition of the Holm River is good to enforce, but there are countless shadows that follow.
“That’s right. So if you don’t want to make it to the end, I just let you go. You gave me some sort of choice. I beat you on the Holm River. But I said I’d give you one last choice.”
“Won’t that be considered an insult? In your book, you said that Holmgang must obey the winner’s decision.”
“That’s also true. But Heech never ‘forced’ it. He gave him a choice. Most of the applications for the Holm River were also made by the other party. I didn’t spill.”
“Oh… there was a reason I could become the founding king. I have no choice but to become a king because I have such tolerance.”
“Yeah. It is, but…”
I looked up at the sky with a confused expression on my face. As in Heek’s example, traditions and cultures tend to deteriorate over time. That phenomenon was revealed in the current Animers.
Tradition has played a very important role in bringing people together, but that’s all there is to it. To maintain, you have to at least be flexible, and tradition prevents that.
It can be seen that the situation is similar to that of the Senate in Albenheim. Tradition has brought the tribes together, but the dead become more and more corrupt as if they were rotting.
Deleting the tradition would damage the reputation of the nation’s wealthy and founding king, Heek, and maintaining it would endanger the existence of the nation.
For the Animers, it is like facing a dilemma.
“It’s ironic that that tradition is now dividing the country.”
“Um… any workarounds you can think of? We’ve had similar situations before.”
Now that I’m outside, I just turned around, and Marie mentioned the mixed race. She knows the relationship between me and Arwen, too.
“The situation is very different from back then. This is not something that can be resolved through speeches. It is a matter that has to touch the tradition that has united the tribes. In particular, the Holm River is creaking because pure force is more important than politics or resourcefulness.”
“It’s a lot more complicated than I thought.”
“That’s right. If I had to pick a solution… I would have no choice but to change the tradition of the Holm River flexibly. Now it’s not a tribe, it’s a nation. For example…”
“For example?”
“The Holm River as a kind of competition… Wait.”
This is not Marie’s voice. Besides, she was heard from behind, not from the side.
I blinked my eyes and looked back, what was this?
Leona, the auburn-haired maiden who did not know where she appeared, was overhearing our conversation.
“Can you tell me a little faster?”
There was urgency in her golden eyes.
Princess want to fix her sand castle.
