EP.41 Imperial Social Gathering
“Damn it!”
“Cuckoo..!”
Neria kicked in her stomach and let out a short moan. She has a hard time breathing. She grabbed her beaten area and tried to take her breath away.
However, Neria’s pain was not in Gia’s business.
He kicked, trampled and kicked Neria again.
A heartfelt beating of a Hero who is approaching the late level 40.
The only thing Neria at level 30 could do was be careful not to break bones or damage her organs.
“Shake! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!”
One kick for one insult.
Neria’s body was getting more and more tattered.
“Stop it! Then she really die!”
Ophelia, unable to see, grabbed Gis’s arm and tried to dry it.
“Let it go, you slut!”
“Damn!”
When Gis swung her arm, she couldn’t stand it and fell off. thud! She flew powerlessly and fell, slamming her back against her table.
“Ouch…”
“Ophelia!”
“Where are you going, damn it?”

Gis grabbed Neria’s hair as she was about to run to Ophelia.

Gis pulled Neria’s hair, making her look straight into his face.
His expression was contorted with anger.
“Hey. What the hell was that bastard doing to change him like that? What did I do to end up being beaten by a bastard like that? Ok? Did you fucking help that bastard without me knowing? Did you steal the item and give it to me?”
“Leave this..!”
Puck. Gis’s head turned at Neria’s punches. With his thumb, he scanned the area of he had been beaten by Neria. His lips parted slightly, and his fingers were stained with blood.
“Ha… Haha… Cloud After that bastard, you’re going to make fun of me even to a bastard like you? haha, I can’t your maiden was going to save it in front of Cloud, but I’ll just have to pick it up now. I’ll explain the details to that bastard later.”

Gis grabbed Neria’s hair and started walking.
Neria resisted, but there was an overwhelming difference in strength between her and Gith.
She was dragged along like a mop on the floor.
It was when Gis opened the door to get out.
“Hey… the hero…?”
Outside the room stood the real candidacy of the Gis Party. Gis frowned as she spoke her words carefully.
“What?”
“No, that’s… The healing of the wounds on the hero’s body is almost finished. We don’t know what the internal organs are yet… we need to look into it a little more.”
“Wasn’t I all cured before?”
“That’s… you were in treatment, but the hero suddenly ran out…”
“Hey, fuck it!”

Gis scratched his head fiercely. He warned Neria by throwing her away.
“Wait here. I’ll be here soon. Don’t even think about running away. If you get caught, I will kill you.”

Gis left Neria and Ophelia and left the room with the candidacy of Saints.
“Neria… are you okay…?”
Leaving behind the throbbing pain she felt on her back, Ophelia approached Neria with her head bowed.
It was time for her to place her hand on Neria’s shoulder for treatment.
Neria grabbed Ophelia’s hand.
“Ophelia, let’s run away.”
“…Yeah? Run away? Where..?”
“Let’s go to Cloud. We will go back to the way we was.”
“Neria…”
Ophelia felt sorry for Neria’s hopeful voice.
That day.
It was from the day Cloud and the girls completely parted.

Gis’s attitude towards them had completely changed.
At first it was just a light tap, but the intensity grew stronger. Later, he started beating them, even if he felt a little offended.
Sometimes he throw food waste or something like that, and even tell them to lie down and eat like a dog.
Beatings and insults.
It has become their daily routine.
It was natural to leave the party, but it was impossible.
Because Gis had no intention of letting them go.
After going to bed after such a painful day, Neria would often talk to Ophelia.
Memories of childhood and with Cloud.
Neria brightens when she talk about her memories with him. Halfway through the day, she didn’t have a dead face, but a look full of longing, sadness, and joy.
When she was in a good mood, she would take out items containing memories with Cloud and show them to Ophelia.
A wooden dolphin statue.
An object that Cloud’s father made by hand for her and him before his disappearance. A statue that only two people in the world have. She regarded it as an irreplaceable treasure.
And the statue was soon discovered by Gis and shattered.
The expression Neria made at that time, Ophelia will never forget it for the rest of her life.
Although somehow glued together, she couldn’t get out of the depression for a while.
Whenever she saw Neria like that, Ophelia used to think.
As a messenger of God, it is natural that she will be punished for not being able to overcome the temptation of desire.
But what about Neria?
For what crime did she have to suffer such punishment and suffering?
Is this reasonable?
She did not doubt the existence of God.
The existence of God has already been revealed through various sources.
But, as the church says, is that God really fair and whether it is right to give proper trials?
If it isn’t, it’s just… throwing a tragic fate for their own enjoyment, isn’t it?
Such a blasphemous thought came to mind.
“Ophelia, you saw it too. Cloud beating the Gis. Now you don’t have to worry anymore. Now, we can go back to the past…!”
Saying that, Neria had a desperate expression on her face.
Ophelia understood her feelings. But Neria was skeptical of what she said.
‘Is that possible?’
As Neria said, Ophelia also saw Cloud at the Social Gathering.
Even though it was a surprise attack and there were no weapons, Cloud overwhelms Gis there.
While still armed, Gis might lead. Still, he will no longer be able to bully him as blatantly as he used to.
Because he also became able to resist.
But there is one more important thing than that.
‘Will the warrior really accept us again?’
If Neria thought he was Cloud, he would accept them.
Without thinking about the wounds they inflicted.
The Cloud they know is such a person.
But like it or not, the Cloud has changed.
They could tell just by looking at his brief appearance at the Social Gathering.
‘Because I’ve never seen a hero with such an expression…’
Cloud is also human, so of course he gets angry.
Especially when innocent people were sacrificed by monsters or bandits, he would get angry.
On the other hand, the appearance at the Social Gathering was different from before. He must have been angry, but it wasn’t like a hot fire. Rather, it was like a sharpened sword.
A creepy sword that looks like it will cut your opponent in half at any moment.
It was a story that couldn’t be found in the past.
‘Even if the hero forgives us and accepts us…’
Can we really go back to the way we were before?
Cloud in the past liked Neria.
Anyone who was by Cloud’s side would know, unless they were an idiot. Because he had a different opinion on Neria’s every word.
In fact, you could even think of Neria as the leader of the party.
But how was Cloud at the Imperial Social Gathering?
Aside from ignoring Neria’s earnest cry, didn’t she even dream of tearing it apart with all her strength?
The person who did that stopped punching at once when he heard Frillite’s voice.
Neria, who was screaming desperately next to him, ignored her and immediately greeted Frillite.
And as it was, he was led by her and left the Imperial Banquet. Unlike Neria, he did not resist at all when he was led by Frillite.
This meant that Neria was no longer the top priority in Cloud’s mind.
‘I don’t know what happened between the two of you…’
It was certain that Frilite would take the place of Neria.
And there’s no way Neria couldn’t have noticed that even Ophelia was aware of it. She just ignores it.
Cruel reality.
“…Okay. Let’s go, Neria.”
Ophelia decided to follow Neria, even if she suffered revenge from Gith later.
To comfort her by the side when she was desperate when she faced reality.
…To avoid making extreme choices.
* * *
Cloud did not stay in the Imperial Palace.
So it took quite a while to find him. The only thing they would depend on was the vague memories of drunkards.
Still, they were finally able to find him.
He was staying in a shabby inn far from the imperial palace.
It was unclear why they left the Imperial Palace and stayed in a place like this, but that was not the point.
The important thing is that the Cloud is here.
Neria’s nervous heart was pounding.
‘What should I say? Should I apologize first? What if Cloud resents me? etc.’
Several thoughts ran through her mind.
‘…This is not the time to waste time.’
After taking a deep breath and calming herself, Neria knocked on the door of Cloud’s room.
-smart
rattle.
The door opened at the same time as the knock.
Cloud rubbed his eyes as if he had just woken up.
Neria was startled by the sudden opening of the door, but she spoke to him, calming her startled heart.
“Ah, hello Cloud…”
Neria said in a crawling voice. Cloud tilted hus head.
“Neria… Ophelia? What’s going on here at this hour?”
A flat tone without any emotion.
Ophelia realized she was right. It was when she was trying to figure out how to comfort her Neria.
“I knew this.”
Neria and Ophelia hardened at the sound of the voice from the stairs on the second floor.
Their heads slowly turned to the side.
“I don’t know why you guys are so obscure. Well, I guess you’ll live like that for the rest of your life.”
Scratch.
He climbed the stairs and laughed at them.
Cloud looked at Neria, Ophelia, and Gith alternately.
Heck, he yawned profusely and said.
“This place is small, so let’s go out and talk. Both of go to the room.”
* * *
I thought something like this might happen.
I saw Eri being treated like a cold meal at a Lorian party, and the expressions on their faces that I saw briefly at the Social Gathering seemed to say, ‘I’m being abused!’
But damn it, I’m sure it’ll come late at night like this.
Maybe it’s because they’re savage fantasy people, they don’t seem to know about manners.
“What do you think? I grabbed all the forms and came out, but when I came out, you was scared, right?”
Just 10m away.

Gis, who came fully armed, giggled and said.
I wake up and fuck it, but what’s so good about that bastard?
This is unfair.
At the very least, that bastard has to be fucking the same as me.
“Ttc, why didn’t you change the habit of holding a dog in front of a woman? When you see a bastard who has no power and only spreads his shoulders…”
“Gith, I know your mother is a prostitute.”
“…What?”
In an instant, the smile disappeared from his face.
It didn’t last long.
Because he had a golden smile again.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, have you really changed a lot? In the past, I would have never imagined you’re answering something like this…”
“I also know that you are a filthy bastard who ran out of the house tired of the fact that your mother was a prostitute.”
Little by little, the smile on Gis’s face began to disappear.
“Are you talking about what happened in the Social Gathering? Just because you succeeded in a surprise attack doesn’t mean you’re stronger than me…”
“Your poor mother. Even at this moment, she must be shaking her back and worrying about her only son. always would have been Ah, I might have forgotten for a moment when I was in love with the maximal c*ck.”
Now, there was no sign of a smile on Gis’s face. He stared at me with a fiercely distorted face.
“I’m going to cut off your limbs and throw you away as pig food. Your limbs were torn and you couldn’t even move…”
“Your mom, short and long, how much each?”
“This is a chewing!”

Gis began to spin the chain sickle in both hands.
It was also the moment I was about to draw my sword.
Pak!
A large bayonet flew between me and Gis, and it was stuck on the floor. After that, Frillite landed next to the greatsword, flying long snatches.
..?
“Frlitte? Why are you suddenly here?”
“I was waiting around to see if something like this would happen. I’m glad I stayed.”
She said as she pulled out her sword, which was half lodged in the ground, with ease.
I asked her carefully.
“…Did you hear that?”
“Well, I heard. It seems that your injections make your mouth low. I didn’t know it when you were drinking, but when I heard it myself, I knew it.”
She nodded and looked at me.
“Vulgar language demeans the speaker. I don’t want your dignity to be degraded. From now on, instead of wine, drink ale with a low alcohol content.”
“No. The ale is tasteless…”
“Again, I don’t want you to be demeaned.”
Frillite narrowed her eyes.
“…Okay.”
To me, I had no choice but to agree.
Hahaha damn I feel said for opheila and the other whatever her name was
Hahahahahah
