55-2. Powerless powerlessness grows.
***
Time passed quickly, and the sunset was already setting.
In the rapidly cold weather, a bonfire was lit near the place where the tent was spread out.
The shimmering flames and the warm warmth are felt softly.
“Thanks to you, I had a good time. Thank you.. Licht.”
“Nothing.”
I have to say thank you. Because, thanks to Fine, I am no longer afraid of fire.
There was a mishap that suddenly planted me at the bottom of the valley, but it seems like they had fun.
She must have had a reason. No matter how much she asked, she only blushed and hiccupped, so she decided not to ask any more questions.
I pulled out a blanket to cover her so that she wouldn’t catch a cold, and left to prepare dinner.
“Because it’s like this… She reminds me of the first time I met Mr. Tugu. Right, Kai?”
“Really. It’s just like back then.”
I hear voices while cutting onions. The warrior couple must have returned from playing in the water.
Are you talking about the fact that I deliberately imitated the prince when I got into the carriage?
“When did you first meet Richt?”
It was a time when Fine didn’t exist. Fine asks Kynell and Ariel questions about who she used to be.
“You used to flirt with me too~!”
“..What?”
Ugh, a sensitive part was exposed. At that time, she couldn’t help it.
Operation Rivals of Love. Kynell was a person who would never admit her love affair with Ariel unless she had a competitor.
“Really.. Ariel?”
“Yes, it was meant to make our Kai jealous~!”
Gulp, I felt a bitter taste in my mouth. Like when she went up north, she’s not going to show off her exclusivity again.
No matter how precious you think you are, now you are afraid of what will happen to you.
In a pot, fry the pork first, add oil, and cook the onion and other vegetables.
“There’s no way the Licht I know is like that. A certain saintess liked this one.”
Her hands are getting faster. After adding water and getting everything ready, I grabbed the tableware and ran towards the other people.
“What kind of story.. Do you make it so interesting?”
“….”
Is it too late? Fine’s eyes are colder than ever. She is not talking, only looking at her bonfire.
“..I didn’t mean to flirt with you before.”
“Right! In fact, he hasn’t even approached me since then!”
Like a criminal giving a final argument, he conveyed the truth as it was.
No matter how cute and pretty Ariel was, people said, I wasn’t impressed.
“Thanks to that, she ended up dating Kai like this!”
“Honestly…if it wasn’t for Licht, she would still be just friends.”
Tuk, the mad wizard leans his head on the shoulder of the warrior of light while talking. The two smile softly as they look at each other.
“Really….”
Only then did Fine let out a sigh of relief. A small, humming voice inside the helmet.
If a player goes off the harem route, he will deviate from the saint route, and his relationship with Fine may be broken.
“Kai, how was it when Richt was flirting with me?”
Ariel, who was close to Kynel, looked up at him and talked.
“To be honest, I was very jealous.”
“..No way.”
Come to think of it, when she came out of the water, there was a group of female students around. Maybe she came to see Kynell?
He was the one who had the potential to create a harem in the sequel, .
“Hey, did you confirm that God is unfair when you showed your face?”
I was dumbfounded when I saw Kynell joking. Seeing the dejected expression on my face, it doesn’t seem like a lie.
Perhaps it’s because of the swordsmanship or being close to Fine.
Instead of answering, I opened the lid of the pot. The scent of bubbling curry spread around.
“..Smells delicious.”
“Is it because I am from another world? The food they serve is also unique….”
Fine and Kinel reacted first. Even currying doesn’t come as a surprise.
Because this world is a setting where people of all ages are mixed up due to the summoning of heroes.
I know that Baek Magnoon came to like coffee because she came to this world and ate it.
“..Yellow stew?”
“Similar.”
When the curry was served on a prepared plate with her rice, Fine began to eat it in a hurry. At some point, a wall of glass formed around it.
“..Delicious.”
I can see the white hair that falls down to his waist, and the white wolf ears pricked up after taking off his helmet.
But today, for some reason, she won’t release the Masterpiece.
I wanted to see a tail that turns like a fan. I’m glad it fit in her mouth though.
“Hmm, Mr. Tugu is really good at cooking!”
“Ariel, eat slowly. No one will take it away.”
I had a long experience of self-sufficiency.
A couple of warriors are also eating curry with spoons. Like the last beef stew, a pot that runs out quickly.
“..Can you give me more?”
From noble mtl dot com
The biggest cause was Fine, a glutton. I made a lot of it on purpose, but have you been eating more lately?
There was a part where I could guess where all the food I ate went, but it was stupid to put it in my mouth.
There was a reason for the large pockets of chastity.
“Sorry. It’s all gone..”
I even conceded the amount I needed to eat and gave it to Fine. It seems that her hunger has not yet been satisfied.
I was watching her as she continued to rummage through her cutlery.
—Growl.
The belly clock rang in my stomach. I must have been hungry after playing in the valley.
“..Licht, did you not eat something?”
“Oh, no. I just ate.”
I excused myself while waving my hand. I ate deliciously, but I don’t want you to worry about me.
“Don’t lie. Richt… It’s all obvious.”
Knock, Fine’s wolf ears were moving small like an antenna. She started bruising me with her narrowed eyes.
“You only ate eggs on the train with me..?”
Since when have you been counting? In fact, since she left for the valley trip, there was no time to be separated from Fine.
If you try to keep a little distance, you can’t help but make them cling to you. It’s cute.
“Oh, come to think of it….”
Looking at the empty pot, Fine pondered something and stood up.
Pine pulls out a large leather pouch from the tent. She headed to the kitchenette where I had been cooking until earlier.
“Wait.. This time I will try the food.”
Pineda took out red meat, tomatoes, and various vegetables from a bag engraved with a freezing magic circle.
What are you trying to do? Is it beef stew? Her heart began to pound at the thought of getting a taste of her craft for the first time.
She took out a small Glass Knight from behind her back and started her cooking. Isn’t it special that it’s handmade for me.
Even though I’ve received it as a gift in the game, I’ve never tried it myself.
I decided to wait in silence.
“Whoa.. I enjoyed my meal. A little regretful.”
“There is a watermelon soaked in the valley water. Would you like to bring it?”
I prepared it in advance to eat it as a dessert. I thought Fine would be happy if the dessert was perfect.
“No, let’s eat together when Mardol brings food!”
Ariel immediately shook his head. Since it’s a friend’s dish, do you want to try it?
Soon after, the sound of bubbling spreads the fragrance of the food. The savory smell and the aroma of meat….
Wait, why does it smell fishy?
“…It’s done.”
Kung-.
The other pot that Fine brought was heavy. There was an instinctive feeling that I shouldn’t open the lid.
Ososo Anxiety caused by chicken meat.
“Licht, try it.”
It was Fine who opened Pandora’s box. The contents of the pot were something terrible to be called beef stew.
“Heek..! What is that..?”
“No way.. Mardol.. You’ve never cooked before..?”
Swaying red eyes.
Ariel, who had been putting on her bright expression until just now, made eye contact with the fish in her pot and made her scream.
Why is there mackerel in beef stew?
“Yeah, but I tried my best.”
Come to think of it, Fine was set up to be a terrible yorichi.
I remembered the explanation of the crude taste of the beef stew I received as a gift when I was sick.
The warrior couple is already frowning at her with his nose plugged.
You have to manage your expression. Even if it’s poisonous, you should be able to eat it deliciously.
Fine, like a rabbit, pricks up her wolf ears and waits for my reaction. If I disappoint you, I’ll be depressed all day.
“Okay.. I’ll eat.”
A liquid that glistens due to the oil from mackerel.
As I watched the stew turned dark brown, I closed my eyes and started pouring the stew into my mouth.
I emptied a plate quickly, but the distinctive fishy taste remained in my mouth and was bothering me.
“Hey, Licht?! Wait for a sec..!”
“Mr. Pugu.. His face is pale..”
The warrior couple looked at my eccentricity with a shocked expression.
“It’s delicious.. Thank you..”
It doesn’t matter if you look at it that way. Because love is stronger than anything else. Anything is possible….
“As expected.. I knew you would like something like this. Eat a lot. Licht.”
“….”
I thought so until Fine gave me another plate with a giggly laugh.
***
Around the time when Richt and his party left Grand Hearts Academia.
“So, where did you go from here?”
“Karl, to Calcium Valley….”
Now, the red-haired man is grabbing someone by the collar and asking questions.
“You’re as fast as a rat…”
With a thump, a single click of the tongue, the pin tossed the poor man down.
A janitor at the academy. One arm of a man with gray hair and a stooped body was torn off.
University covered in blood. Yet, no one noticed.
“Brother Finn… I’ve taken care of everything around you.”
Soon after, Intinium appeared with blood on his face and smiled brightly.
As if the whole situation felt like a lie.
The cleaning lady was terrified at the sight around her.
“God of light.. Please..”
I sailed through the sky, hoping for salvation, but at the end of that line of sight, I could only see one huge pupil.
Kude deudeuk.
Soon after that, the white giant pushed its huge face towards itself, and opened its saliva dripping mouth—.
It swallowed everything around it in an instant.
