196 – Epilogue (3)
Yesterday, Hyunwoo Kim proposed to five heroes to defeat Roria, and he was able to defeat Roria by strengthening the heroes.
Of course, at that time, he proposed to the heroes to strengthen their stats, but that didn’t mean Hyunwoo Kim was going to avoid the proposal that way.
Even though he confessed to them to strengthen their abilities, it wasn’t that Hyunwoo didn’t love them.
‘I feel like a piece of trash when I think like this.’
Hyunwoo Kim, who had lived in a monogamous world, thought that his mind was quite trashy, but he forcibly looked away.
He had a lot of mountains to climb before he could think of himself as trash with only five people.
“…”
Hyunwoo Kim looked at the three heroes gathered before him.
Elena, who seemed to be the most normal but still couldn’t stop sobbing, Shadra, who was expressionless, and River, who was whining.
And.
“…”
Adria, who was looking at Hyunwoo Kim with a subtle expression.
Hyunwoo Kim, who had called the four heroes.
“Ahem-“
First, he cleared his throat.
“…Lord.”
“Why are you doing that, Lord?”
“You’ve cleared your throat five times already.”
“…”
Hyunwoo Kim closed his mouth as if he was embarrassed by Adria’s tackle.
In fact, he wanted to spit out what he had to say rather than just wasting time like this, but he knew that what he was going to say next was too trashy, so he kept delaying it.
After a while.
“Whew.”
Hyunwoo Kim finally sighed and opened his mouth with a determined expression.
“First of all, everyone here knows. That I proposed to the other heroes yesterday.”
““…””
The heroes were silent.
Looking at them, Hyunwoo Kim tried to say what he had originally planned to say.
At least, to tell the conclusion of this story, it seemed right to explain the reasons one by one.
“But that’s as far as it goes-“
However, Hyunwoo Kim stopped talking.
Somehow, he felt that it wasn’t right to talk like this.
So Hyunwoo Kim, who had been silent until then, said.
“Will you marry me?”
“?”
“Yes?”
“Huh?”
“???”
He just said it.
“No, I was going to make an excuse, but it’s funny to make an excuse, and I think it’s better to just say the conclusion. After all, no matter what the story is, the conclusion is important.”
Hyunwoo Kim decided to just let it out.
“So let’s get married. I’ll make everyone happy.”
Hyunwoo Kim has one body, and if he marries all the heroes here, he will have a total of nine women.
…That means he has nine wives.
Even if he rotates for a week, it won’t be enough, but Hyunwoo Kim spoke confidently.
…He felt that his future self would somehow make them happy.
And.
“I, I like it!”
“Me, me too!”
“D, Dear Dad!”
He could see the heroes’ faces brighten as if they had been waiting.
“I, I-“
Even Adria, who had been thinking for a while, seemed to be looking at him.
“…I like it too.”
She seemed to be a little hesitant, but she eventually accepted Hyunwoo Kim’s proposal.
‘As expected.’
In fact. Funnily enough, Hyunwoo Kim had expected this much.
He didn’t know about Adria, but he knew that Shadra and River, including Elena, had feelings for Hyunwoo Kim.
However, the reason Hyunwoo Kim thought that this was where the real problem began was.
“But there’s a small problem.”
“…A problem?”
It was because of a small problem he had.
Hyunwoo Kim took out a proposal ring from his pocket.
However.

““…Huh?””
There was only one.
Everyone looked at the ring with bewildered expressions and looked at Hyunwoo Kim, who smiled awkwardly and said.“…No, a proposal ring is a bit expensive. I tried to buy it with all my money, but I didn’t have enough, so I only have one for now.”
“So that means…”
“First, only one person can receive the proposal ring, and the others will have to wait until I have enough money… Sorry.”
Kim Hyun-woo said.
However, the other women, including Elena, were not looking at Kim Hyun-woo at all.
Of course, they didn’t see the ring either.
Elena and the other members of the Shadra River Adria were looking at each other.
““…””
They looked at each other.
They didn’t say anything.
Instead, what they saw in each other’s eyes was blatant vigilance.
And.
“I think I should be the first.”
“Why?”
“Because I was the first hero to enter Lartania.”
“Huh? If you put it that way, I was the first one to meet Dad here?”
“Wait a minute- If you count all the time we talked, I-”
“…”
Kim Hyun-woo shut his mouth as he watched the heroes start to tear each other apart.
####
That’s how Kim Hyun-woo’s office started to get caught up in who would receive the only proposal ring left.
The women who had definitely received Kim Hyun-woo’s proposal ring yesterday, gathered around the round table, had very calm expressions on their faces.
Merilda looked at the wedding ring on her ring finger and wagged her tail, rubbing the ring with her finger whenever she got the chance.
Charles was using his abilities to cast various abilities on the ring so that it wouldn’t break or get lost.
Lien was constantly casting verbal magic on the ring.
“…Isn’t this it.”
Aria, on the other hand, kept repeating the process of implanting the ring into her skin and removing it.
It was clear to anyone that they were obsessed.
Just as the heroes were each feeling happy looking at Kim Hyun-woo’s ring, Rin, who had not been there until a moment ago, opened the door to the round table room and appeared.
However, Rin’s outfit was different from the cheongsam she usually wore.
“What is it?”
Merilda spoke, looking at Rin’s outfit for the first time.
Rin smiled at Merilda’s question.
“Does it suit me?”
“…Well, it’s not bad.”
Merilda, who would have immediately criticized her in the past, answered very gently after receiving Kim Hyun-woo’s confession.
However.
“Is that so? Of course it should suit me, it’s the outfit I’ll wear at the wedding with my husband.”
“…Suddenly it doesn’t seem to suit you.”
“Oh, it doesn’t matter. My husband will definitely say it suits me at the wedding next week.”
Charles spoke to Rin, who was humming as she spoke.
“Wait, the wedding is next week?”
“Oh, well, you don’t have to prepare that quickly. This wedding is for my husband and I anyway.”
“Huh? Who decided that?”
“Who decided? Of course, I did, as my husband’s legal wife.”
“I’m also the legal wife…!?”
Rin shook her head at Lien’s words and said.
“Of course, I don’t deny that. How can I say anything about what my husband has decided? But can’t I handle a wedding for just the two of us?”
Rin said with a smirk.
The heroes, including Merilda, could easily see what Rin was aiming for.
The proposal ring didn’t end up determining who was in the lead.
Merilda was technically the first to receive the ring, but it was only a matter of seconds before the others received their rings.
The proposal rings were all received at the same time.
In other words, at this point, there was no real difference between the heroes who had received the proposal.
But what if Rin were to have a wedding ceremony before anyone else?
That would make a clear difference to anyone.
“…Do you think you’ll do that…?”
Lien immediately expressed her joy, but.
“What do you think you’ll do if you don’t? Are you going to sabotage the wedding that my husband is attending? What- I’m happy to have two weddings, but do you think my husband will like it?”
“Ugh…”
She immediately sank at Rin’s next words.
However, Merilda, who had been watching her quietly, said.
“No, I’m not going to sabotage it.””Then what should we do?”
Merilda did not answer Rin’s question.
Instead, she immediately opened the window and made a short cry, ‘Kreung-!’
“…Did you find him, boss?”
As soon as the voice was heard, she saw a giraffe that appeared in less than 10 seconds and said,
“…Why are you shirtless?”
“Oh, that’s… I had something to do.”
-She couldn’t order.
…Merilda opened her mouth for a moment as she looked at the numerous hickeys left around the giraffe’s neck and chest,but soon she lightly tidies up her expression and said.
“…Can you prepare for the wedding within 3 days?”
“If the boss tells me to do it, I have to do it.”
“Then prepare for it.”
“I understand.”
And.
““…””
From that point on, an ominous current began to flow between the heroes who had received the proposal.
