180 – Congratulations – 2
ㅡSince we’re between us, I’ll just write comfortably. You’re doing well right?
From the first sentence, the letter started like Rize, if it was Rize. It was a style that seemed to straddle the boundary between comfort and moderation.
And I liked this one better. If it had started with all sorts of formal rhetoric, it would have felt even weirder. Just as it was written in the letter, it was between Rize and me.
ㅡI felt that conveying my feelings through a letter was a bit cheesy, so I had no intention of writing it, but suddenly something came up that I absolutely had to convey.
‘Something I must convey?’
Did something happen If Rize is to the extent of using such an expression, it must mean that it is very important.
ㅡNa, I’m pregnant.
“Cool, cool! Kheuk!”
“Hee! Gwa, are you okay?!”
As soon as I saw the short sentence written right below, I heard a rush and let out a violent cough.
Nyx, who was next to him, was startled by the harsh sound of coughing, as if vomiting his intestines, and approached in a hurry. A fern-like hand tapped my back.
ㅡIt’s a joke. Delta I joked with you in case you get serious, how is it? Are you feeling a little relaxed?
“Thank you very much for that.”
He clutched at his lungs, which seemed about to burst from the violent cough from earlier, and trembled with Nyx’s hand patting him on the back. I never thought I’d come up with such a petty prank.
If I joke twice, I won’t be able to live up to my name. I continued to read the letter, grumbling to myself.
ㅡWe’re doing well, so you don’t have to worry about us either. You know this is the imperial palace. What could happen? That’s why we’re here in the first place.
‘… … but.’
Whether in terms of settings or in-game, the imperial palace boasts the most strict defense in the entire empire.
Based on the game, it wasn’t enough that there were protective magic circles that doubled as traps everywhere, and there were 5 boss-level knights, 10 mid-boss-level knights, dozens of elite-level knights, and even ordinary knights in hundreds.
Even the emperor himself was the owner of the armed forces to be counted on one hand with the popes and Minerva among humans, so it was not easy for an incident to break out in such a place.
‘There are only two guys who can do that difficult thing.’
One is the protagonist of the human hostility route or the life annihilation route, and the other is the knight commander of the Golden Twilight Knights.
At least, the latter was quickly suppressed according to the player’s actions, but the former was practically a natural disaster.
—-Ah, but the atmosphere is a bit like that these days. You know the guy who ripped off half of the knights. His condition is getting worse and worse. These days, they didn’t even pretend to know us when they saw us.
‘Looks like he’s slowly revealing his true colors.’
It didn’t come as a surprise since it was playing the same way as the game. That NPC has an inferiority complex personality even in the game.
When we first met, he sometimes showed a rather bold side, but that was only because he had no reason to reveal his original personality to the main character.
The Knights of the Silver Dawn were torn to shreds and absorbed under their own command, and the knight commanders were exiled to idle positions on the periphery of the empire, so why be petty toward a protagonist who is only a low-ranking knight?
ㅡMy kids say, the atmosphere of the Golden Twilight Knights is getting worse and worse. Well, what are the kids under him doing when the captain is acting out his temper?
Of course, being bold is limited to the third meeting at most.
If the player steadily progresses through the Silver Dawn Knights route and gradually starts to catch the emperor’s attention, that person will gradually reveal his original personality and openly start to be jealous of the player.
From there, the story progresses a little more, and the moment you activate the event trigger, you can’t overcome your inferiority complex, and it appears as a boss mob while giving you an accident.
ㅡLooking at him, the size of the Knights of the Dark Star might double in size sooner or later, so why don’t we expand in advance? Ah, at that time, would you like to work at the Imperial Palace too?
“… … .”
Should I like this or not?
ㅡLastly, one more. This is the real reason I am writing to you, Delta. And, as I said before, it is also something that must be conveyed.
Seeing the words “things that must be conveyed,” I slightly corrected my posture and sat down. If so, this means that this is the main point.
—-How did you seduce Iris again?
what is this again
‘Are you flirting with Iris? I?’
I looked at the letter again. The round handwriting clearly shows off the tightness of the writing. It was clear that the Korean characters were written with great emphasis, so it was not a mistake.
I wondered if this was a joke, so I checked the next sentence.
ㅡHe’s my man, but he’s really good at it. huh? How did that wooden boy make me confess that he likes you, Delta, in the space of just a few days?
Unfortunately, there was no sentence correcting it as a joke. My eyebrows trembled as I read the letter. It felt like my head was pounding.
ㅡThanks to that, we are in a mess too. Iris can’t even make eye contact with me, Claudia laughs, saying that you’re flirting with me like this, and Erica says that even if you flirt with her, she’ll never fall for it, so don’t worry.
‘Why is flirting with me the premise?’
Isn’t the way of thinking a bit strange?
ㅡBy the way, it seems to me that the person who says that is the first to do so. Delta, if you want, you can even entice Erica and do it with the three of you. Isn’t it a man’s romance to do things with his sister at the same time?
Having read this far, I took my eyes off the letter for a while. I needed time to cool my head. The difference in temperature from the previous sentence was too great.
As I reacted like this, Nix hiccuped again and looked at me.
He sat down next to him and stroked her hair. I felt like I needed to calm my mind. Nyx, who had been checking his eyes until just now, was laughing and giggling.
‘… … If it’s like Rize, should I say it’s like Rize?’
He was still a character without the slightest hesitation in that direction.
‘No, no matter how it is.’
Where in the world is there an older sister who seduces her younger sister to a man and invites her to do a 3P together? I wondered if Erica knew about this.
Suddenly, I was curious about how Rize would react if I told her that she had already tried her sister rice bowl in Seongguk, but I decided to leave it as a curiosity. It was just scratching and swelling.
ㅡI have a lot to say, but I can’t because it’s inconvenient to write it as a letter. Let’s meet and talk later, okay?
The ending is a surprisingly normal sentence. It was just a problem because it wasn’t normal at all until then. I sighed and folded the letter in half twice and put it in my inside pocket.
If I had known this would happen, I would have asked Stella to catch Iris when she guessed and ran away. If I had explained it properly, this wouldn’t have happened.
I left it alone because I thought it might be weird, but I couldn’t believe it caught someone again.
‘The situation is very strange.’
Rize, the person in charge, doesn’t seem to have suffered much damage, but for some reason, it felt like Iris was the only one keeping an eye on her.
Or maybe it’s already been a while.
“I-over there… … Are you okay? lol.”
Nyx, who had been teasing himself while rubbing his face in his hands, glanced at me.
“Well, it’s ambiguous to cut things off. It’s an internal matter for the Knights, sorry.”
“lol… … If so, there is nothing you can do. I know.”
Nyx clung to me again, laughing sullenly.
‘I don’t know what to say to Rize later.’
First of all, Iris didn’t seem angry that she had done that. Or maybe it’s because he’s already had a blast, so his emotions have been released.
Probably closer to the former. Not only did he say he didn’t care about having a lot of girls right away, but he even wrote a letter telling him to seduce his sister.
‘Should I clear up the misunderstanding first?’
I was in the middle of thinking about whether there was any stationery left in the castle.
“Captain! Captain!”
I heard someone knocking on the door outside. I had a lot of urgent tea. It was Laxia’s voice.
“Laxia? What’s going on?”
“I think you should come out soon!”
“… … Why?”
“The imperial palace sent a lot of things to the captain saying it was congratulations—”
‘ah.’
Only then did he recall Caicilia’s edict, which he had forgotten for a while. It was an edict stating that he would congratulate him for defeating the devil.
‘… … It arrived just now?’
It was the timing as if they were weaving each other. I thought to myself that there would be no more storage space in the castle anymore, and followed Laxia to the gymnasium.
“hi! delta!”
“… … Rize?”
Then, I found Rize, who got on the carriage and waved at me with a wide smile.
The armor lay neatly beside him, and he was wearing the uniform of the Knights of the Silver Dawn. Her chest moved as she waved her hand through her thin white sleeveless shirt.
Rize jumped off the carriage. The chest shook violently, but soon returned to its original calm. The buttocks and thighs that seemed to explode were still hidden under the dolphin pants.
“Did you receive the letter?”
“I did, but… … How did you come already? I don’t think I received it in less than 10 minutes.”
“yes? That’s because I sent it that way on purpose.”
“You did that on purpose?”
When I asked back, Rize nodded.
“Considering the time to get to you, I made sure to arrive about 20 minutes before I arrive. It’s just to surprise you, how is it? Are you impressed?”
“… … I was not impressed, but I was surprised.”
“Then the goal is achieved!”
Behind the carriage Rize jumped off of, there were rows of double-headed carriages bearing the emperor’s seal. I counted the numbers. Including the one Rize was riding, there were exactly 10 of them.
How can something like this be the same?
We made blank faces as a group. It was only natural that what had happened this morning was repeating itself again. Laxia, in particular, had a face that really didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
“What, what’s wrong with your expression?”
Since the person who received the gift reacted like this, Rize made a puzzled expression. I took him to the warehouse, thinking that it would be better to show him than to explain in words.
As soon as I opened the door, Rize saw the overflowing treasures as if they were about to pour out, and made the same face as me. The deeper I went, the more things became more and more.
“uh… … What is all this?”
“Things I received from the Holy Land. That’s about six hours before Rizene arrives.”
“You said you got it from the Holy Kingdom? Why?”
“… … There was a reason for that.”
“Hmm… … .”
Rize, who was staring at me with her eyes narrowed as if she didn’t like my answer, said that she understood and turned around.
ㅡClick.
The sound of the warehouse door being locked echoed.
