43 – A Human named Ceres Reinhardt
Do you know a man named Pygmalion?
He is not a hero in mythology, but he remains a fairly famous great man.
Most of the recorded gods or heroes literally made great achievements, so if they are known, the reason why a person named Pygmalion became famous is because of his great achievements… Rather, it was because he had performed a very absurd eccentricity.
[‘I don’t want to sleep with a man’ affirms his actions in the past, saying that there were few such pure love in the past.]
He married his statue.
Pygmalion, who lost interest in real women, was fascinated by the beauty of the statue he had made and prayed to Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty.
‘Please let me marry a woman who looks exactly like the statue I made.’
In this way, the goddess Aphrodite turns the statue into a human, and Pygmalion marries the statue.
“Rian, why?”
“… Personally, I began to rapidly understand Pygmalion.”
I thought how beautiful the statue would be if it were beautiful, but it wasn’t the appearance that I could say was pretty or ugly.
When the woman in the work appears in reality, I realized anew that something really absurd would come out.
“Rian, say something.”
Voice, body shape, appearance, way of speaking, it is an ideal image that perfectly reproduces what I want.
Burning reddish blonde hair.
Long stretched legs, arms and legs.
The face is small, but the eyes, nose, and mouth are densely gathered, with purple eyes shining like amethyst.
The style of talking like an older sister who cares about someone.
If the woman I met for the first time had been the kind of woman I saw now, I might have rushed into it and confessed it.
“sorry but. Where is the exit?”
“uh?”
But I’m not an idiot enough to believe he came out of the dungeon.
[‘I Don’t Want Men to Sleep’ says it’s a relief that you’re not the type to rush at women.]
somewhere right now It’s just a dungeon.
In addition, it is absurd to see that the situation has completely changed from the dungeon seen earlier, but it is very likely that you are trapped in a disconnected dungeon.
And the way to get out of this disconnected dungeon is generally… .
[Escape from the dungeon ‘Pygmalion’s Works’.]
Escape condition: All party members trapped in this dungeon must escape from the ‘Temptation of Galatea’.
Success Reward: Goddess Statue created by Pygmalion.
Failure penalty: Impossible to escape from dungeon.
This is what the system will provide.
“The Temptation of Galatea.”
You can tell what it’s about just by hearing the name.
“Yes. What are you talking about. Ryan… where are you going… .”
“ha… .”
He let out a sigh at the stone statue’s voice tickling his ears, and whispered the girl’s name, the crystallization of true love that can’t be won by stone statues.
“Neros.”
“yes!”
The older brother of the monster Neros is familiar with… . monster… who are you?
“who are you?
“yes? It’s Neros! You don’t even recognize me, Rian?”
“No, huh? Who are you?”
What is in front of me right now is that lively and bright Neros?
… . It doesn’t suit me too much.
“ah! I just thought it didn’t suit me!”
“Yeah, I honestly thought so. sorry.”
No, personally, there was no way other than imagining the image of Neros, who was only in the form of a monster, but judging from his way of speaking and his request to continue, I thought it was a bit like a puppy.
But right now, Neros feels exactly that.
The typical villainous young lady in novels.
Sharp eyes, cat-like face, straight hair.
Aside from being surprised by the appearance that didn’t match my expectations at all, how the hell did he come out with a normal appearance instead of a monstrous one?
“How did you come out that way?”
“Molang!”
Seeing her smiling brightly with a face like that of a villainous young lady makes me feel something indescribable… If you think of a villainous young lady in your head, is it because you think of Aryan?
“First… Shall we go find the other three?”
“yes!!”
Then, from now on, I have to find a way to escape… .
“Don’t you have any intention of teaching me honestly?”
“no… Ryan should be happy with me here.”
Looking at the statue that said that, Neros looked at the statue and opened his mouth.
“Explode.”
“Ugh!!”
A familiar sensation ran through my body.
Yeah, come to think of it, Neros’s omnipotence doesn’t even have to belong to the category of a curse.
Literally, omnipotent.
“… The power of domination.”
The curse contained in Neros’ words enforces the phenomenon just by uttering it, just like Skaya’s word magic. Originally, why did the people around me act like it was nothing to do with the effect that only a dragon’s words could produce?
The stone statue, which had been cursed by Neros’ spirit, literally burst into pieces without even being able to utter a final word.
“Hehe, are you done now?”
“uh… Well… .”
Originally, I was going to ask slowly, but judging from the reaction earlier, I think it’s almost impossible. Then get out of here… oh
“Neros. Can you find where Minelle and Aryan are?”
“Ugh… yes! Maybe it will!”
“Good! Let’s go find the other two!”
“Five!!”
*****
When I opened my eyes, a very familiar sight was unfolding.
very… It’s a longing sight.
“let’s hurry! Minel!!”
“Hey, wait a minute. Ceres. slowly… Let’s go slowly!!”
Ahh… It was the look of that time when it was still pure.
It was a time when the relationship as two friends, Ceres Reinhardt and Minel Iris, was being established, rather than as a knight and a young lady.
“Hi-Hi! Minel is very worried!!”
“Absolutely! It hurts when you get hurt!!”
“It’s okay, it won’t hurt that much!”
It’s such a beautiful memory even now when I think about it.
However… Obviously, that incident also happened right after this happened.
“Yes. Minel, why don’t we try this?”
“What is it?”
“Let’s make an oath!!”
Ceres told me that with a really bright smile, and I nodded my head at a subject I knew nothing about.
“Come on, oath of oath.”
don’t do it. Say no more.
“Make it up. This is a promise that only the two of us carry.”
An incantation came out of Ceres’ mouth. Mana is gradually sucked into my body from the past.
“This is an oath that will last forever, an eternal promise that will last until the soul stays in the body after death.”
When Ceres finished chanting, I spat out an oath to Ceres.
“You will stay by my side forever.”
And then Ceres made a promise to me… . No, imprint.
“I will forever be my own knight.”
Ahh… It should be clear now.
Only Ceres’ golden magic wraps around my body. My magic power is nowhere to be seen.
“Do you swear to each other to share the oath?”
“yes.”
don’t do it. Don’t answer.”
“Do you swear to keep each other’s oaths?”
“yes.”
There was nothing possible for the present me, who was looking at the past, which was on the verge of self-destruction. Just seeing it from a third person’s point of view… .
“With this, the oath is concluded!”
“… Is this the end? ‘miss’.”
… .Ahh. It was from this time.
That I called Ceres a lady.
The field of view gradually narrows.
I can’t breathe on my own
Why are you doing this?
Because of the feeling of betrayal?
Maybe. But this is a bit worse than that… .
“Puha!!! ha… ha!!”
When my eyesight returns, I urgently realize that what happened earlier is a kaleidoscope, and I look around.
Where is this?
Until just now, I must have been fighting monsters.
Where the hell is this place?
“… ha… cool cool… .”
While somehow calming my unsteady breath, I came out of the water and looked around while somehow catching my breath.
The moment you try to feel the strangeness of the scenery that is different from the one you were seeing until now… A very familiar voice passed my ears.
“it’s okay? Minel.”
tall.
The body stops.
No, it can’t be. Wasn’t she an academy student at the age of 20 like me now?
But for some reason, the voice I heard was very similar to the voice of the young lady I had seen in my dream…
I don’t think so, but really… My head was spinning at the thought of just in case.
“Are you sick somewhere?”
“ah… Ahh… .”
There was Ceres of those days, when she was still innocent.
