143 – The Queen’s Temptation
I went to Hella under Hild’s guidance.
The queen was sitting still and drinking alone.
Is there any other woman who looks so good with bright red wine?
What surprised me a little was how different the atmosphere was from the first time I saw it.
As if it’s off now, Hella is wearing a slightly more comfortable outfit.
Nevertheless, the unique aristocratic atmosphere did not disappear.
I can definitely feel the unique charm of an adult woman that is hard to feel from other girls.
Suddenly, black hair and alluring red eyes caught her attention.
‘Looking at it like this, I can feel that I’m a goddess again.’
He didn’t look drunk yet.

Instead, her cheeks are slightly reddish.
She turned her gaze to me with a languid expression.
“Hmm, what is it? I thought you would be having a great time with Hild. Or is it already over? Unfortunately…….”
“It’s not like that, so don’t make up weird rumors.”
You’re still being scolded for being a eunuch.
You can’t be accused of premature ejaculation here.
“Huh, just kidding. Just sit here Do you know how to drink?”
“Yes, what.”
Hella poured wine into the glass in front of me.
They didn’t seem to care about manners or differences in location.
To think that the goddess who rules this world will be served her own sake.
In a way, there may not be another luxury like this.
“It’s okay to stop Hild. Or will she have a drink with you?”
“Thank you, but I will decline. I have something to worry about.”
“Huh, he looks like a boring kid.”
Hilde bowed politely and left.
As she looked at her back, she said as if she felt sorry for Hella.
“Hmm, nothing really happened. Didn’t my child like it?”
“She is a very precious woman to me.”
“He’s a man the size of a pea.”
Hella smiled as she said that.
She might have known that I wouldn’t attack her in the first place.
“So, isn’t the room uncomfortable?”
“Rather, it was an over-divided treatment. I didn’t know you would do this.”
“Because we give preference to anyone who is a great warrior. It’s such a barren world in the first place.”
Hella gently closed her eyes as her slightly drunken face turned to her money.
“A world where those with skills survive, and those without them simply die. That’s our mythology. It’s cruel, but that’s why it’s fair.”
“In a way, I think it’s great.”
Hela is the god of the underworld, but she is far from a scary god.
She said that when Odin’s second son, Baldur, died and came to Niflheim, she treated him well.
Maybe it’s her way of treating her opponents in her own way.
“Hilde said that the Queen has high expectations from us.”
“Hmm, did he even say that?”
“Was it just empty words?”
“No, he doesn’t know how to lie or talk empty words.”
…That’s how it seems.
If you lie with that expressionless expression, I think it will be more difficult to be deceived.
Inadvertently raising her glass again, Hella realized belatedly that her glass was empty.
This time I poured wine into her glass.
She looked at me like that, smiled and continued.
“Hild is the last Valkyrie left in this world. She has that much power.”
“I know that because I experienced it firsthand.”
“It’s hard to find a warrior who can stand up to Hild in Niflheim these days. You stood on equal footing with her. No wonder she thinks highly of it.”
“Hmm, I was in a hurry to block her spear?”
“Bullshit.”
Hella snorted at my words.
“I know that you still have a lot of things hidden.”
I got caught.
I didn’t use the power I got from the previous world of Eve in the fight against Hild.
If it’s a skill or characteristic to be shown, it remains.
Well, I don’t know if I’ll be able to beat Heald by using all of them.
Because Heald’s spearmanship was so fierce.
‘If Yuri and Heald fight, who will win?’
Two of the most combative women I know.
When the sword and the spear collided, what would be the result… I suddenly became curious.
Of course, I have a bigger heart that I don’t want the two of them to fight.
I think both of them are the type who don’t know that they are fit.
“So may I ask why you called me out this way?”
“Hmm, the taste of alcohol is gradually improving. She’s like a guy who doesn’t know the mood. Then I’ll ask you a question-“
Hella looked at me as she set her wine glass down.
Her pale skin contrasted with her red lips and red eyes.
“Are you a lolicon?”
“… ….”
……. What the fuck is this bullshit?
Is it fashionable to suddenly say nonsense in Norse mythology, as well as Hild?
Live live Goddess I see the word lolicon appearing all over the place.
“Suddenly I don’t understand what you mean.”
“No, isn’t it? In the meantime, she didn’t even touch the beauties by her side, and signed a contract with such a child with a glamorous goddess like me. I have doubts about her taste-“
“I swear to heaven I don’t like that.”
Suddenly trying to turn me into a pedophile.
Are you planning on destroying the novel as well as your own world?
“Well, just kidding.”
“That is very fortunate.”
Hella seems to be getting to the point right now.
She shifted slightly and sat down.
“If I like you, how about signing a contract with me?”
“Yes?”
I looked back at Hella through her slightly startled eyes.
Judging by the look on her face, she didn’t seem to be joking.
This is a word that I never really thought of.
“As you know, I am already a contractor for ‘A Night Like a Dream’.”
“I know.”
“Then of course-“
“However, it is not impossible to break the contract and contract with another deity.”
“Are you telling me to… Betray Eve?”
“Heh, that’s not like you. Think rationally, not emotionally.”
Said Hella, shaking her wine glass lightly.
Her face was serious, as if her drunkenness was a lie.
“Eve consumed most of the power of her godhead in order to save her people. Well, she herself is praised even as the same queen.”
“… ….”
“However, the story is different from the point of view of the contractor.”
It’s as if the words were prepared in advance.
Her words flowed naturally like flowing water.
“She can’t support you anymore. At most, she would spread a shield by her side.”
“That alone is a big help to me.”
“So? With that power, can you protect Eve as a knight of the goddess? In this perdition?”
She was not ready to answer that question.
The existence in front of her eyes had already seen the destruction of the world, and was a goddess who was resisting alone to the end.
“The fight over you will intensify in the future. You have an obligation to become stronger to protect her. And the surest way is to make a contract with a stronger deity.”
“So you offer me a contract?”
“It’s because I don’t hate the little god who answers boldly in front of me. It is better to look forward to the future than us, who are already collapsing.”
Muttering slightly bitterly, Hella took a sip of her wine as if to clear her mind. She
She then turned her head and she looked at me provocatively.
“Even if she looks like this, she is the queen who rules the world. The size of her authority is mighty, are you sure?”
I kept my mouth shut instead of answering right away.
I can understand what the Greeks meant.
That she cares about us with her whole heart.
Maybe it would be right to take this offer now.
If you make a contract with Hela, you can become much stronger than you are now.
But my answer was already decided.
“I’m sorry, my queen.”
“Hmm?”
“Thank you so much for your suggestion. I cannot.”
Hella momentarily put on a slightly pouting expression.
“…May I ask why?”
“I swore that there is only one Goddess I will serve in the past and in the future. Even if that is the result of my death, I have no intention of serving another goddess.”
“Even if that is a human characteristic, arrogance is too much. Are you saying that you will protect her goddess with her weak strength?”
“Yes, I will defend it even at the cost of my life. Because she has already become a precious person to me, not just a goddess.”
-Kudangtangtang!
Suddenly I heard a commotion from over there.
Did the maid fall over? She has a lot of trouble until late.
Hella let out a pleasant laugh that seemed uncontrollable.
“Ahahaha! Are you saying that she has more power over her own precious person than a goddess? I am proud to have seen many warriors, but you are the most arrogant among them.”
“I apologize if I sounded offended.”
“No, that’s it. Rather, it feels good.”
Hella drank her wine again with a really happy expression.
“To give up one’s strength for the sake of one’s master is a loyal subject. Don’t forget that heart.”
“I will keep this in mind.”
I answered with sincerity in my heart.
Hella burst into laughter as if she liked it.
“Hmm, that’s right. Listening to your story now, I get a little bit of a sense of how I will use you.”
“You wouldn’t just throw it in a strange place just because you rejected it, right?”
“Well? How are you? Anyway, your fate is in my hands. It will make you regret rejecting me.”
“……Could you please return it?”
“It is too late. Anyway, wash your neck and wait. Wouldn’t it be more fun to put fear in the first place?”
Sweet, something feels dry.
Hella had a mischievous smile on her face.
As if this conversation was so interesting that I couldn’t stand it.
“Whoops, by the way, this is completely cold. The pain of a broken heart might wet the pillow with tears.”
“You don’t seem to have that kind of personality.”
“You who don’t even understand a woman’s heart say such a thing? Phew, it makes me a little jealous.”
With that said, Hella filled my glass again.
“I’ll give up the contract, but drinking partners will be fine, right?”
“That’s an honor.”
We bumped each other’s glasses.
A clear echo spread through the room.
For now, that has replaced the contract between us.
