128 – A dreamy night’s dream
“Haa, I envy you.”
The target Eve was looking at while saying that was not another goddess.
Players who just finish the quest and live normally.
To be precise, these are the women who live with Jihoon.
Recently, Eve’s gaze has not been directed only to Jihoon.
She cares strangely about the other women standing by his side.
Beauties who laugh, chat, and sometimes actively show off their affection next to Ji-hoon.
As I looked at them, I suddenly sighed.
“Envy… ….”
That’s what he muttered with the utmost sincerity.
Her guardian, Lupus, struggled to win her heart.
Looking at that childlike expression of a little longing, I felt like I would burst into laughter.
The fact that that emotion is called “Jealousy” In the world.
The tiny goddess in front of her must not be aware of it.
‘I never thought I’d fall this far.’
For Eve to have feelings like that for a man she hasn’t even met yet.
To be honest, this is a situation that even lupus did not expect.
But she didn’t think it was particularly bad.
Eve has never been interested in anything else.
For the first time, she felt her ‘love’.
Even if she hasn’t realized it yet, it’s definitely a good change.
‘Although the other person is human, there’s no reason for that to be a problem.’
In this world, there are many stories of love between gods and humans.
A typical example would be the case of Orion who fell in love with Artemis.
Of course, they were both famous and lofty heroes.
However, Ji-hoon’s skills and achievements are not enough to dare to give him the title of ‘Hero’.
And in this world, heroes like Hercules and Siegfried are recognized for their achievements and are classified as ‘goddess’.
What if you keep growing at that pace?
In the future, you might really get that much ‘karma’ and become a being like a god.
In many ways, I thought it wouldn’t be bad if Eve and Jihoon did well.

She tried to capture that feeling and stuffed it into her claws.
Rufus approached quietly and asked insinuatingly.
“What are you so envious of?”
“Wow!?”
I didn’t even know how to listen from the side.
Eve stared at Lupus in amazement.
Her cheeks are red with shame.
She seems to be aware of the embarrassing behavior.
“Uh, just…I thought I would like to travel with friends like that.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
It was an excuse I hurriedly spouted out of surprise, but it wasn’t a very made up one either.
The world ruled by Eve is basically a very peaceful world.
The climate is mild and the land is rich.
The only life that lives there is a leisurely spirit that sleeps on the spot when its stomach is full.
There is absolutely no room for fights or quarrels.
It is understandable to some extent that she yearns for such a life, having lived only in such a place.
An adventure with someone you can trust.
Friendship, love, and bonds that bloom there.
In order to enjoy such things, the divine beings are also looking at the player.
“Isn’t it time to start signing players? We have received quite a bit of support so far, so let’s wait with anticipation.”
Of course, there is still one quest left.
However, it is difficult to think that Ji-hoon will be eliminated at this point.
There are not many players with that level of skill even if you search the entire planet.
I’m sure you’ll pass the next quest as well.
For Eve, that was the real match.
“…Then wouldn’t he make a contract with a godhead other than me?”
“Of course it could be.”
Eve put on a slightly sullen expression at Lupus’ relentless words.
The stronger the player, the fiercer the competition between gods.
Of course, from the player’s point of view, there is a high probability of choosing a god with a high level.
The ‘authority’ bestowed upon the player by the godhead is within the power of the god himself.
If that deity is a god related to ‘archery’, then the player also gets an advantage with ‘bow’.
‘Well, Eve-sama isn’t such a bad deity either.’
Eve is a water-related deity, and at the same time has specialized powers in defense, barriers, and sealing.
It’s a pretty strong ability considering it’s completely unknown trust.
The problem is that the deities she has to compete with are also formidable.
The former head of the angels, the queen who rules the underworld, and even the famous goddess.
There are probably even fewer people on Earth who don’t know that name.
To be honest, it’s not very likely that I’ll just leave them alone and choose Eve.
“But I can’t help it. No one can force you to sacrifice.”
“Ugh… ….”
But it is impossible to forcibly sign a contract.
A contract with a godhead is an area of individual player choice.
“Hasn’t Eve been working hard for that time as well? He can only hope to bring curiosity to that side.”
“I guess so… ….”
Eve, who nodded her head, suddenly opened her mouth.
“This is a what-if story.”
“Yes?”
“If you could see me in person… would this person choose me?”
Rupus did not immediately respond to the words whose intention was difficult to guess.
Looking at Hyena and Eunbyeol on the screen instead.
Then, I take a look at Eve’s childlike body.
“……Well, let’s try.”
Answers closer to negative than positive.
Eve glared at her guardian for a moment before turning her head away.
Ah, this is the reaction that comes out when you get angry.
‘Really, I’m not some kind of adolescent daughter.’
The face of Lupus who thinks so is a strange smile.
As he kept saying, he is positively looking at these changes in Eve.
Of course, a godhead and a player meet in person.
No matter how much I thought about it, all I could think of was a terrible situation.
****
“Sorry, I was really wrong. Stop letting go of your anger.”
“… ….”
No matter how many times I apologized, Eve’s pouting attitude wouldn’t change.
She tried asking for help from another woman, Jin, just in case.
Hearing her circumstances, he only returned a cold gaze from them.
“Hi-in, Ike walked over… Saw my naked body…Just do something…….”
“Yeah, that’s right~ It’s too much, isn’t it?”
“Ji-Hoon probably didn’t say it with a bad heart.”
On the contrary, the situation in which Eve, grievously munching on sweet potatoes, is comforted.
I started to feel very lonely with the feeling of being alone in the world.
“Yuri, did I make such a big mistake?”
“In your case, the biggest mistake is that you don’t know what you did wrong.”
As usual, Yuri, who was polishing her sword, answered calmly.
I don’t know what that means, but it’s clear that it’s my fault.
If this happens, there is no choice but to continue apologizing as before.
Eve’s attitude continued even after we finished eating and resting and talked about tomorrow’s schedule and strategy.
Looks like it’s really tight.
“…We’ll wash up too. Reconcile properly with Eve. Oh, of course you can’t come and steal?”
After Hyena said that and left.
There was a heavy silence between me and Eve, who were alone.
Eve is still sitting still and passionately appealing to her own pout.
But she doesn’t go somewhere else or turn her head.
The fact that she dared to face this way must mean that she still has the intention to listen.
“……Can you forgive me if I do something?”
Unexpectedly, after asking that question, Eve obediently turned her head away.
Then she tapped the empty seat next to her with her hand.
‘What kind of younger sister is she?’
I approached and sat down next to her, but she didn’t say anything.
It was as if she was contemplating something.
It wasn’t long before Eve finally opened her mouth.
“Temporary contract… ….”
“Huh?”
“Even if it is not a formal contract, would you like to sign a provisional contract with me?”
According to Eve’s explanation, the god and the player can sign a provisional contract even if it is not a formal contract.
There is no great influence in a temporary relationship.
At most, it seems that a little physical strengthening and communication are all.
“Why is that all of a sudden?”
“……You mean you don’t want to sign a contract with me, even if it’s only temporary?”
“No, I didn’t say that.”
Anyway, I’m on a common front with Eve.
It is a relationship that we must continue to cooperate in the future.
As long as it’s a temporary contract, it’s okay.
‘To be honest, I have received a lot of coins from Eve.’
Thinking that far, I nodded her head.
“Okay. Let’s do it, temporary contract.”
Eve made a very unexpected expression after she proposed it first.
“Really?”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
“……Okay.”
Eve touched my fingertips, and a weak light spread.
At the same time, a message appeared before my eyes.
[Signed a temporary contract with the new character ‘Dream of a Night Like a Dream’!]
[All stats slightly increase!]
[Magical efficiency is greatly increased due to the effect of the corresponding region and godhead!]
‘Hoo?’
I fell in love with the simpler method than I thought, but the effect is not.
On the contrary, it is more than expected.
Of course, my physical condition has improved a lot.
I feel that the flow of magical power is at its peak than ever.
Anyway, the fact that Eve is the owner of this dimension also seems to have had a significant impact.
“Is this a contract?”
“Yes, but temporarily.”
After saying that, Eve suddenly cleared her throat.
She stretched out her uncommon breasts and pretended to be her goddess all over again.
“Hmm! Hmm! Then, as the contracted godhead, I will issue orders.”
“…Is that the relationship between the godhead and the player?”
“Think of it as the coin value you have received.”
Eve, who boldly declared, takes the form of asking her to stretch her legs.
I was the one who apologized anyway, so I obediently did what I wanted.
But what followed was a little embarrassing.
Eve was lying down with her thighs as pillows.
“……Is this the order you want to do?”
“……You wouldn’t say it’s heavy, right?”
On the contrary.
Is it because he has the appearance of a child?
Eve’s hair was so light that I wondered if it was right to put it on.
“Now stroke your hair.”
Looks at you with a puzzled face.
Eve, blushing slightly, grabbed my wrist and placed it on top of her head.
‘I’m sorry.’
The action was cute, so I obediently stroked her hair.
Eve let out a sigh as if satisfied only then.
“……It’s a sight I’ve only seen on video. A dream come true.”
“What?”
“Nothing.”
Eve said that and smiled.
It was such a bright smile that I wondered how a person could be so defenseless.
If the other person wasn’t a godhead and a child at that point, I’d almost be mistaken for liking me.
‘It’s cute.’
When I looked at Eve anew, she was a very cute and slender girl at the same time.
Mysterious eyes overflow with unpretentious innocence.
From noble mtl dot com
The round back of the head is cute, and the white cheeks look like something you want to poke.
…….Honestly, it was hard to find a part that wasn’t cute in every corner.
A girl like this is a godhead who sent me messages like that.
She couldn’t believe it even while stroking her hair.
“Thank you.”
“What?”
“Just everything.”
We didn’t say anything after that.
I just gently stroke Eve’s head.
“Oops.”
Soon after, Eunbyeol came back from washing and smiled cautiously as she looked at her Eve.
Eve cut my leg, and she slept with a very happy face.
