“What did you say?”
A peaceful day that is no different from any other day, a temple still old and standing for a long time.
“Hot…! It’s so crazy that it’s not even funny.”
It is a unique place that creates a unique atmosphere where even the stillness can harmonize with the sight of plant roots tangled here and there, as if abandoned.
Here, the tranquil silence harmonizes with the appearance of the old temple, creating an atmosphere of serenity that offers many mystical emotions.
“This I’m giving up on you in tears?”
But in such peace, the dark voice of ruin that occasionally resounds, stirs my nerves.
I didn’t really do anything wrong, but the energy of the goddess, who was so bitter, made me unconsciously shrug my shoulders.
“Is that fate or that the goddess who said something really spoke like that?”
He asked a confirmation question with a tone that he couldn’t believe any time he heard it, and he spit out so many positives that he had forgotten how many times he had answered.
“Yes… According to the words of Goddess Morione, for some reason, I was abandoned by the goddess and taken away by the goddess.”
Eleanor, who was disgusted by those words again, was absurd in her situation.
However, considering her feelings, this reaction was not so strange.
Depending on the interpretation, there may be misunderstandings, but if we are to use an analogy to the last, what Eleana is hearing now is
How absurd it would be to say that the things he truly cherish will eventually come down to tears and ask someone else to take it to him…
Thinking about it, I was able to agree to some extent that Eleona was in this state.
Even if it was me, Eleanor, who has the personality of a maniac obsession, said that she would abandon me, so if it was someone else, I would have farted and ignored it.
The being who spoke these words was none other than the goddess of fate who could foresee the present, past, and future of others.
So, I went to Eleona with a rather serious atmosphere, and she also grasped my condition at first, and gave me a somewhat bewildered look, but as soon as I finished my words, it suddenly changed into a look of disillusionment with a young meaning.
“I know too well that Goddess wouldn’t act like that, but the person who said this was Morione, the goddess of fate.
As the saying goes, it was the advice of a goddess who looked forward to fate, and the back end was still bitter, so she was still maintaining this lack of confidence.
Of course, Eleona’s mood played a part in my appearance like this, but to be honest, Morione’s words never left my mind, so I’m in a calming state right now.
“It’s a worry that doesn’t really have any meaning or need. On the contrary, I’m still puzzled by my knights with that stuffy face.”
The words just engraved a wound in my heart that made me feel more and more descending towards the abyss, but for a while, Eleanor’s mood suddenly changed and embraced me.
wow…
“Goddess…?”
I accept Eleanor, who is digging into my arms, and observe her transformation.
Those unpleasant feelings from before disappeared all over the place, leaving only earnestness, vagueness and stubbornness on their faces.
“Does it seem to you that I am going to abandon my only knight?”
At the same time as the volume of the voice became conditioned, there was a sense of calm, and there was also a little bit of anxiety and worry in it.
“Goddess?”
“Did you really think I’d break the oath between you and me?”
Just a few seconds ago, the figure that seemed to run out of anger completely disappeared, and she was held by me, who was so sad that even tears were about to fall.
“You are my only servant and knight… The happiness I have gained over the centuries, and the salvation that has been granted to my life, which was exhausted and tormented by loneliness…”
Gradually losing the power of his voice, he carefully lowered his head, and the dew, which had not been hidden in the shadows, shone clearly in the dazzling sunlight.
“Even if it’s just a passerby to others, at least for me, it’s an irreplaceable existence.”
“Does it look like I’m really going to abandon you…?”
She also lost a bit of clarity, perhaps because she was ignoring Eleanor’s words to give up regrets at Morione’s words and continued to be anxious.
You must have lost your self-confidence as you continue to ignore your opinions by those who want to be trusted more than anyone else…
“Eleanor.”
After seeing Eleona’s weakened appearance, which is rarely seen, I realized who I should trust and change my mind.
He said plausibly, but to put it simply, the feeling of having to appease her who was sad was mixed.
“Why?”
This time, he exchanges glances with her with confident eyes filled with confidence.
“It seems that I lost my duty and for a moment forgot whom I should trust.”
After reading my changed mood, Eleanor looked at me blankly for a moment with a trembling expression on her face, then wiped her eyes with a happy smile.
“Of course, Goddess’ words are sensible, but tragedies come unexpectedly… I’ve only said this out of a sense of urgency, and I will always trust only Eleanor-sama’s words.”
I use my vocabulary to the maximum extent I can, and when I connect the words magnificently, I regain my usual mood and nod my head satisfactorily.
“It’s like my knight servant, this goddess is so happy.”
The last word ‘happiness’ was momentary, but I felt a lot of aftertaste… but I didn’t really care.

“Are you Harold? Good morning.”
After finishing Eleanor’s conversation, I headed to the guild hall, and Erina greeted me as usual today.
After hearing something from Morione yesterday, he had an unusually gloomy atmosphere all the time, and he still looked drowsy and droopy.
What fate did Goddess Morione tell Mir and Erina, so she was so desperate…. Wasn’t there a connection between me and Erina in the fate she spoke of?
It was not strange to hear such words as I came up with my original goal at the same time as that thought.
Although she is a beautiful woman in the first place, if she says that she just feels like a woman, it makes her tilt her head, and I do not want to form a deep relationship with anyone because I have to go back someday.
At that time, Eleanor’s job was… unavoidable, but…
Since the day she had a relationship with Eleanor, her actions, which she has been showing little by little, made her feel mysterious, and at some point, her heart was pounding because of an unexpected blow.

Now that he has been so close to me without hesitation, I have adapted to it, but it is true that I still feel a sense of shame.“Yeah, good morning Erina, but… I don’t think I’m in good shape today…?”
Compared to usual, I look at her calming face and ask a question carefully.
“Ugh… not really…”
However, Erina denies my doubts, saying that she has no problem.
If it had animal ears, it would have taken all the power it contained and it would have drooped.
“Really, what did you hear from Morione-sama yesterday? You’ve been dehydrated ever since you’ve been acquainted.”
He still shook his head, not mentioning Morione as to why she had come to this state with a slight glance.
“It’s not because of Goddess Morione.”
He spit those words out, covered his eyes with his hands as if clenching his chin, and fell into trouble, and then he began to roll his feet unstablely.
“Actually… I got a letter from you.”
Then, he puts the envelope with the ripped marks on it on the table and offers it to me as if to read it.
“Honestly, the story I heard from Morione-sama yesterday is also influenced by it, but this is probably the reason why I look bad.”
At the same time, I kept silence again and let a heavy silence flow, and I had no choice but to pick up the envelope with a complicated heart.
“To Erina Robbias…”
I carefully take out a piece of paper from the envelope, unfold it, and try to mumble my first verse a little.
It’s a new feeling, but the paper on which the writing was engraved and the envelopes it was packed in were a luxurious design that seemed to be used only by aristocrats.
In fact, as if to prove this, at the end of the letter, a sentence that seemed to symbolize the family was engraved, and this was an act that was permitted only to names with extraordinary power than most nobles.
And above all, words that offend me.
robias
It’s a name I’ve heard a few times in the game, but it’s unclear where the exact source is, which makes me scratch my head.
The name of the family that is so familiar and that causes some discomfort is repeated over and over in my head…
uh….?
As if realizing an irreversible truth, a shiver spread throughout his body with the electric current passing through his head.
And as a result of rubbing my temples for a short period of time to recall the memories, the story in the game that I had forgotten about came to the surface naturally.
“Erina.”
When she calls her name in a rather serious voice, feeling that she can’t just get over it, she starts to tremble like a child who has been caught by her parents.
“Why… why are you calling…?”
As if I had expected what I was going to say when I was done, it seemed as if I was begging you not to say the next thing I saw with earnest eyes while shaking my body.
“What was your name on the adventurer registration card?”
I answer my questions that flow with confidence in a weak voice.
“Erina Viheria…”
The surname used by the main character in the game I knew, but…
“By the way, what’s your name on this letter?”
“Erina Robbias…”
As I listen to her answer, who is gradually losing my confidence, I caress the back of my neck as if I was in a bit of a headache.
In fact, the main character in the game had one hidden truth.
The secret of the main character that cannot be known from the normal main story and can only be found in the side story that occurs only when certain conditions are met.
I realized why she was given such a luxurious envelope and why the name written on the letter was different from her normally recognizable name.
“Aren’t you sure you were born into an ordinary family?”
House of Robias
According to the setting, the Lovias family is a family that has been successful in the founding of the country from a long time ago to the extent that it is said that it is the second most powerful family in the country after the royal family, and it was a family that was so huge that there were almost no villages where the business of the family did not extend in this country.
It was a key keyword in the site story implemented in the game, and it was the name of the family that opened the eyes of all users who are interested in the game story.
“Obviously you said that…”
However, since I was the one who focused on the gameplay rather than the story, I just thought that there was such a thing, and I didn’t know that Erina had a secret that she couldn’t hide.
“Isn’t the Lovias family a great aristocrat that no one knows about in this country?!”
Raise your voice and demand the truth from Erina, like a detective who asks questions about the crime and puts pressure on her.
“That’s right….”
In the end, he shook his head like a criminal trying to confide in everything about the atrocities he had committed.
“Erina, are you…”
The secret of the main character that shocked many users, the shocking truth that Erina, who is in front of me, has been hiding from others until now.
“Are you noble?”
The girl I thought was just a fearless, young adventurer from the countryside was actually the eldest daughter of a noble family that was shining in this country.
“yes…..”
Like a criminal who had given up, he eventually confessed everything in a voiceless voice, and his head started pounding at the thought that he would get involved in many troublesome things in the future.
