Small Distortion – 4
It was when Lise and Claudia openly made fun of him after I literally crushed the golden knight in Dalian, and then he was sitting in the shade and resting for a while, depressed and pinned in a corner of the gymnasium.
“Huh, Erica? Why did you come already- who’s next to you? Why are you covering your eyes again?”
Erica, who left to patrol the city with Iris, has returned. And that’s with a naughty girl next to him.
We still had a long way to go back from patrol, and Iris, who had been out with us, had brought a girl she hadn’t seen before, so we looked at Erica with bewildered eyes.
Instead of clothes, the woman was wrapped in cloth that was like rags. The calves exposed underneath were covered in mud, and even the face was wrapped in cloth, barely exposing only part of the lower crown.
‘Wow, she’s still pretty.’
However, as befits a woman with a worldview covered in mods, her body was covered in mud and wrapped in rags, barely revealing only her lower part, but her nose, mouth, and jawline clearly showed that she was pretty.

Men in this world have changed their common sense, so they didn’t even pay attention to the fact that a woman had such an eye-catching appearance and even wore extreme clothes that exposed her.
“I didn’t cover it up. This kid took care of us.”
Erica was holding the girl’s hand and carefully guiding her step by step. The girl also quietly followed Erica’s lead.
“And there was a reason why he was brought to the Knights. First of all, since they haven’t eaten anything for a few days, I’m going to feed them some bread and soup.”
“Did something happen? How many days have you not eaten anything? What do you mean by that?”
“I will explain later. First of all, I’ll take this kid to the restaurant. Or you can ask Iris because she will be back soon.”
The figures of the two soon disappeared into the castle. Lize, I, and Claudia looked at each other with bewildered emotions, wondering what the hell was going on outside.
Of course, the answer didn’t come out just because we faced each other.
“Have you brought anyone to the Knights like that before?”
“no. never had one It doesn’t matter now that I’ve been confirmed that the castle magic is safe, but in the past I wondered if I would die if I ate this for a long time. How do we feed our anxiety to others?”
“Since we were busy taking care of ourselves, we didn’t have time to take care of others. Now that you killed that pig, newcomer, I can breathe, but before that, it was really difficult.”
Claudia clicked her tongue as if she was annoyed just thinking about it. Well, that guy’s personality has changed much more than the game, so I can roughly guess how much he must have suffered under him.
“Thinking about killing that pig, suddenly our rookie becomes proud again. How are you, newcomer? Shall I hug you again? At that time, Erica dropped it right away, so it didn’t last long. yes?”
Rize spread her arms with her characteristic smile. Between her arms, her busty breasts, wrapped in thin sleeveless sleeves, swayed bouncily. I slowly averted my eyes. Seeing my reaction, Rize laughed.
“To be ashamed. You can tell me anytime, anywhere if you want to cuddle. Oh, and just in case you forgot, the offer to listen to anything is still valid? Literally anything is possible. You can tell me anything.”
“I heard Erica nagging me to keep my body a little taller, but have you still not let go of your lingering feelings?”
“So, don’t you like it?”
“… … .”
I shut my mouth, and Rize poked my cheek with her finger with that polite smile. Claudia looked at us with a somewhat pleased expression.
It was right, so I couldn’t just cut it off and reject it. don’t you like it? No way. Unless you’re gay, what other man in the world would dislike physical contact like that?
Besides, Lizee was approaching me more and more boldly after realizing that I wasn’t rejecting her outright, and that I was definitely responding to her body as well.
Whatever happened sooner or later, I wanted something to happen. Whether it’s from my side or from Rize’s side.
‘… … The story has already started to twist, so maybe it doesn’t matter.’
After the knight commander of the Golden Twilight Knights came to watch over me, thoughts like that kept coming back to me, and my self-control, which was already shaking, was shaken even more.
The biggest reason I’ve been forcibly pushing Rize’s physical contact so far is because I didn’t want to twist the story at all, but I kept thinking that it might be meaningless if one thing was already wrong.
I’m not stupid either. It had been a long time since I realized that Rize had a crush on me more than a comrade in the knights. If you think about it, it’s been like that ever since the first Dalian.
Now that I’ve dealt with the lord and done a lot of things, I can roughly understand it, but when I first saw it, I still wondered why.
“I’ll stop teasing newcomers here. So, are you going to wait until Iris comes?”
“Of course not.”
Claudia and Lize exchanged glances. Before I could say anything after seeing that, each of them grabbed my arm and dragged me into the castle.
It was only after arriving at the restaurant that I realized where I was being taken.
If you tell me in advance, where will it go?
Three days have passed since Erica brought the mysterious girl to the castle.
The girl explained everything about herself. Everything from the fact that her name is ‘Inerma’ to how she lost her pupils.
‘That kind of NPC… … I don’t think there was.’
Looking back, nothing came to mind.
No matter how much the mod changes the appearance, the essence does not change. Although Rize’s personality has changed 180 degrees from the original, it’s like she still uses ice and double daggers as her main weapons.
In other words, it meant that he was not a particularly important NPC or a human who did not appear in the game at all.
“You worked hard in Dalian! Here, a towel to wipe your sweat!”
In the end, it was left to Eoyoung and Booyoung to reveal Inerma’s identity. Instead, at his own strong request, he took over the castle’s chores. It was the reason that I wanted to repay because I had received grace.
In fact, there was nothing to do with chores. There was no need to clean the castle at all because of the restoration magic applied to the castle, and it was enough to lightly organize the warehouse for storing things.
At most, all Inerma did was bring water or towels right after we sparred. It was very strange to see him walking around on his own even though he couldn’t see clearly.
According to him, on the first day, with the help of Iris, he memorized all the internal structures of the castle. It wasn’t a normal head.
And, there was one more good news.
“It is Your Majesty’s order. I’ll just let it go back.”
The golden knight who had been following me terribly returned after only five days, claiming that he had received an order from the emperor. The exact reason was unknown, but anyway, there was nothing wrong with the person himself saying he would turn it off early.
Thanks to that, I was able to use the ability check orb for the first time in a while.

I chose to confuse my stat points with magical power. It was because magic was also a very important stat in order to utilize buffs along with divine power.
When magic is applied, the damage of attack magic and the increase value of all buffs increase. Divine power increases the duration of buffs, and magic power increases the increase in buffs.
This, like the divine power, has a very good initial investment efficiency, so if you raise it to 10, it shows an increase of about 1.2 times.
When the bloody sword’s damage buff is maxed out, it’s 49.5%, so that increases to almost 60%. Even a 10% difference is not negligible.
‘I have to disclose the fact that my abilities have gone up. I can’t get the timing right.’
With that thought in mind, I let go of the ability confirmation orb. The blue light source faded, and darkness settled around them.
The excuses were prepared in advance. You can’t hide this forever, can you? It’s just that it’s being delayed because I can’t see the right opportunity.
I looked around and cautiously walked outside. I deliberately chose a time late at night, but if I heard what I was doing here, I would have to give an answer close to an excuse.
“A new knight?”
‘It’s a surprise.’
I turned around when I heard a voice calling me from behind.
It was Inerma.
I was used to the fact that the blind Inerma recognized me. Instead of being blind, my other senses were so developed that I could roughly figure out who it was just by the sound of footsteps.
Iris was interested in that ability.
“You haven’t slept until this time?”
“That is what I am going to say. You haven’t slept until this hour, what are you doing here?”
“I can’t sleep either.”
“Can’t you sleep? why?”
“I wonder if it’s okay for me to be comfortable like this. Because I feel comfortable, I keep coming up with other thoughts. There’s nothing special about what I’m doing here, but I eat three full meals a day, and I can sleep with my arms and legs stretched even at night… … .”
There was no concern that I could soothe or address, so there was silence between us for a while. What can I do if I feel uncomfortable with myself?
In the end, I couldn’t stand the atmosphere, so I forced myself to say good night and was about to head to my room, but Inerma cautiously called me.
“I… … New Knight.”
“… … ?”
“If it’s okay… … Would you like to go for a night walk together?”
