The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me chapter 33

This catastrophe started only a few minutes ago.

drip drip

After a short period of time, a refreshing knock sound spreads out, and a calm voice is heard from beyond the door along with a very short silence.

“come in.”

Rain was able to hold the doorknob only after confirming the calm and calm voice without emotion.

Druck…

When the door opens, it adds tension to the old and sweet noise as if it were designed.

“Mom, I’m folding.”

Erina also swallowed dry saliva and finally spit out the words she had been holding back with a nervous face as if she was about to break out in a cold sweat.

The door is completely opened and the woman who enters the corner of the field of view is not very good from the first impression, so even looking at her makes me wary.

In appearance, she resembled Erina to the point of being identical, and if it was a singularity, she had bitter eyes and maturity that were so different from her, and, unfortunately, she had a youth in her mid-30s because of the early marriage period.

“My daughter, it’s really impressive to see you after a long time. What did you come to me for?”

Her mother checked Erina’s current dress, and said softly with a light smile.

However, there was a sense of weight in the person itself, and the more I listened to her, the more the atmosphere seemed to sink.

“There is an unfamiliar man standing next to me, was it the man I saw at the entrance earlier?”

After staring at me for a moment, who was next to Erina, he thought deeply, and then he seemed to remember me with great honor.

“I’ll let the man next to me also enter the room, is that okay?”

I couldn’t stand my eyes and open my eyes in such a formality that I doubted whether they were really my biological parents.

“It’s okay, it’s hard to stand still, so come in and sit down.”

I felt a little puzzled by his appearance and other kindness, but I couldn’t easily shake off the vigilance that kept coming in.

For now, as she suggested, I sit across from her and remain silent until one of those two, not me, an outsider, speaks first.

In the silence that lasted for a while, it was Erina’s mother who spoke first, and she said something meaningful.

“Erina, you are a nobleman, and our family has long been close to the royal family and respected the country’s long traditions. It may be boring, but you should stop the adventures of running around the vast plains and be dignified as a woman.”

As if he had expected what Erina was coming to say, she refuted what she wanted to say before even speaking out.

In addition, he was not in a position to express his feelings and say anything in a cool way, as he showed his most favorable attitude to persuade others.

Still, Erina had the beliefs she wanted to achieve, so she also wanted to convince her mother with her words as much as possible.

“But I want a journey… I have a dream of becoming the kindest and stronger person with my partner and a hero in fairy tales.”

Erina put her hand on her chest and begged her earnestly, but nevertheless her mother closed her eyes and shook her head.

“I’m sorry, but as a mother, I can’t keep that wish crazy. Unlike your brother, an adventurous and overly active girl cannot win the hearts of noble men.”

Perhaps we cannot understand it due to the difference in thinking, but it seems that the concept that enjoying adventures as a woman does not attract men seems to have settled in her mother’s head.

“I don’t want to be associated with any nobles!”

When Erina, unable to hold back her anger because she could not hear, raised her voice, her mother thought that she could no longer solve the problem, so her voice also changed.

“As an aristocratic family, the most important thing is to carry on the lineage! You must marry the right man!!”

I don’t know what kind of philosophy she has in her, but Erina continues to feel obsessed with marrying someone.

“I don’t cause discord as much as possible, but in the end, I’m making my voice louder.

In the meantime, he collects some piles of photos from under the desk and throws them to hang on the desk, and then looks at Erina with an even more bitter look.

All of the photos were of men dressed in gold and silver jewelry, and when Erina saw the photos, she realized what she had shown and is shocked.

“These children of the duke, who have already finished their tales, with one last respect, they let you choose whom to marry.”

At those words, Erina’s eyes began to grow with despair, and she was so shocked that she couldn’t even close her mouth.

“Choose

◆◆◆

“What do you say, mother…?”

A thin, hopeless voice slowly echoed through the room.

All that was felt in Erina at the moment was despair and anxiety.

“I told you to choose.”

I wonder if I’ve heard something wrong, so I ask myself, but what comes back is the cruel reality.

“I do not like it….”

She squeezed the last courage and barely spit out a sentence, but her mother took a deep breath filled with frustration.

“Ha, even if you don’t pick it right now, it’s inevitable that you’ll marry one of your opponents in this photo. You can postpone it, but you can’t avoid it.”

At those words, even the remaining courage disappeared, and his appearance was as if he had lost his confidence before his abilities were awakened, and he felt as if he were sinking into the abyss.

After confirming Erina’s mood, she laments as she washes her face dry as if she can’t understand.

“I can’t quite understand why you’re making such a face. Why are you making such a messed up face?”

“Choose it now.”

Now, with a voice that is subdued as if it could be sucked into the void, it earnestly begs for mercy.

“Please… Don’t do this… At least I want to decide who I want to share my fate with…”

“So….”

As if it’s too cumbersome to say any more, he speaks as coolly as possible as if he’s going to say it for the last time.

“Choose your favorite opponent out of these, how much more do you have to say to understand?”

“……”

It got to the point where I couldn’t even respond.

“Choose quickly, because I will respect whoever you associate with.”

There were no victims in the conversation that didn’t work at all, and they both felt frustrated and twisted their minds.

Whoops…

Then I turned my head to the strong pressure I felt on my right arm…

“eww…..”

Erina, who had a very desperate face, looked up at me pathetic.

There were no words, but I could feel how she was feeling right now.

she said she likes me

However, in the current conversation going back and forth in this place, it seemed that he couldn’t bear to act because he was asked to choose another man in front of the person he likes, the subject of deciding who to marry.

But Erina, who has already lost her confidence, will not be able to say anything… I, my colleague, will have to say anything.

“Yes…?”

However, the moment Erina’s mother notices our exchange of glances, she tilts her eyebrows and spit out a question.

“You… is it okay if I ask your name?”

He asks my name at first to see what interests me.

“My name is Harold Wicker.”

Please answer short and concise without any additional explanation.

“Then I just heard about you from Elbert, and he said he cherishes Erina.”

When the hell did you talk to Elbert, or did he come here to talk to Erina while I was talking?

And what other conversations did you have?

Anyway, I feel like I’ve got a chance, so I put confidence in my voice.

“Yes, Erina is a precious companion who has overcome an impossible journey together.”

When Erina hugged Erina with her hand and gave her stubborn eyes, she wrote an impression and fell into trouble.

“Do you have power?”

“Unfortunately, it is not, but I want to continue adventures with Erina.”

“Hmm… Then…”

After hearing the answer, he puts his hand on his chin and mumbles to himself in a voice so low that he can’t hear it no matter how much he opens his ears.

For some reason, I feel a hope like a loss that I can sense instinctively, and my heart starts to burst with anticipation in the corner of my heart.

Perhaps Erina felt the same way as I did, and she smiled faintly as she regained hope.

“Okay, Harold.”

As if something good would come back, he said my name once in a cheerful voice, and then put on a grim expression mixed with laughter.

Is this ambassador?

“Give me a chance.”

The atmosphere is getting brighter, and if my memory is correct, this line seems to have come from the scene where the ordeal was given in order to go on an adventure in the game.

I don’t know how it happened, but the reality is that the development I wanted has come to an end.

Presumably, I’ll ask Erina if she wants to go on an adventure and prepare a few quests.

The atmosphere that flows so well makes me smile without realizing it.

“There’s work for you two to do.”

Even the shoulders that were hanging on the lines that sounded like a declaration of victory rise.

Alright, almost done…!!

Now, as long as you take the trials and complete them and overcome all the crises, you can continue your adventures.

“Tonight, let’s sort out each other’s feelings.”

At that moment, a still, eerie silence flowed through my world.

“yes…?”

My stupid voice echoed through the room,

“no…”

After losing hope again, Erina lowered her head.

“I have nothing more to say. Go back and have some time for the two of you.”

He was stunned by the death sentence that had fallen, and when he came to his senses, he was just silent.

“Unfortunately, I think we should stop dreaming of going on an adventure together with you and Erina.”

Why the hell didn’t the dialogue I wanted come out?

“I cannot allow the journey.”

Where did it go wrong…

“Let’s talk for a long time.”

Obviously I should go with the flow I know, but why did it end up like this?

“Why are you still standing still? Get out of this room quickly.”

Realizing the reality immediately, only despair remains…

everything went wrong

◆◆◆

Time passes, the sunset is set, and the orange sunset is as dark as black silk at night.

I went out to Erina’s room, the balcony, and sat side by side at the spot where I drank tea during the day, looking up at the moonlight.

“Harold…”

Erina didn’t think she would fall, leaning on me from before.

Even so, today may be the last day…

‘Tonight, let’s sort out our feelings for each other.’

Maybe it’s because my status is not aristocratic…. I only heard desperate results from Erina’s mother.

“I don’t want to leave…”

Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Now, she begs me with a sad voice, wiping away the tears she doesn’t know how many times.

“Is it more heartbreaking to break up with you than to give up on your dreams?”

What our future will be like has already been decided, and I, too, have given up halfway now, so I spit out empty words containing many regrets.

In the end, it seemed that she had failed to convince her mother, and she was now voicing all her feelings when asked to sort out her feelings.

“Yeah… Of course, if it was me in the past, I would have despaired at the fact that I couldn’t make my dreams come true… But now that I met you is different.”

At first, my heart was pounding and it seemed unbearable, but as time went on it got better.

At the moment, it was a very sad and choppy feeling, but it was at a level where I could barely accept reality.

“Right now, I only have you… It’s sadder that I might break up with you forever and be married to another man than the fact that my dream won’t come true…”

I pulled my arm closer and wiped the moistened eye area.

“I absolutely hate people who aren’t you… I want to connect with you, please, I hope that the reality I face is all lies…”

She still could not accept this situation and denied the reality, but it was already irreversible.

“Harold!!”

Wow!

Erina, who immediately jumped into my arms, cried out with all her might and poured out all her feelings to me.

“I hate waking up when a man other than you is dead!! Adventures are all right now, it’s okay to stay in this mansion! So if I can connect with you…”

However, no matter how much she screamed here, the truth did not change, so Erina, who knew it better than anyone else, blurted out the end of her words.

“I don’t like it… I don’t like other people…”

The moment when only the powerless voice resounds.

smart

Someone knocked on the door of the room.

Tickle!

The door opened without permission, and what appeared to us was…

“Erina? Why are you crying so much?”

It was Elbert.

“brother…?”

I gently wiped away my tears once more and called for Elbert.

“I just heard from my mother.”

He had a somewhat uncomfortable expression on his face, as if he knew to some extent what the situation was.

“I’ll have to stop working as an adventurer in the future…?”

At that, he nodded slightly and shook his face weakly.

“It’s not a lot… I can’t do the adventure I loved so much anymore, and I can’t even realize my dream.

Although he misplaced the point, Elbert looked at her with sympathy.

A very depressing situation… But in a situation like this…

Elbert’s next words turned everything upside down.

“Still, I’m getting engaged to the Harold you like, so I hope you can cheer up.”

“What…?”

At Elbert’s bright smile, Erina’s eyes widened in embarrassment, and at her reaction, Elbert’s expression turned into a questionable expression.

“Brother, what do you mean?”

Erina’s voice, which is suddenly refreshed, penetrates Elbert, and this time, he answers the question with a question, who is confused.

“Wh.. what do you mean…?”

“Betrothed to Harold, what the hell does that mean?!”

In his harsh tone, as if he was urging him for an answer, as if he was telling him to stop bothering him any longer, Elbert delivered the truth we had misunderstood.

“You said you wanted to be connected with Harold? So I heard that your mother confirmed Harold’s heart and acknowledged their relationship?”

uh?

What the hell is that…

Recognize our relationship?

Obviously, there was nothing like that in the conversation between me and Erina earlier…

What are you talking about?

About the time when such questions complicated my head, Elbert’s next words made my body tremble with goosebumps.

“Obviously, your mother said you’ll be able to choose who you’re going with, a last respect for stopping adventure.”

I realized what Erina’s mother’s words actually meant.

“That’s why you let the two of you spend time alone like this? To have time to check each other’s feelings and organize them.”

Her mother didn’t force me and Erina to break up.

Although the words were difficult to express, my mother was rather leading me and Erina to marry.

“I’m sure my mother told me too…”

At the same time, words that we may have misunderstood flash through our minds in an instant.

‘Choose quickly, because I will respect whoever you connect with.’

‘Tonight, let’s sort out our feelings for each other.’

When I think that these words actually contain the meaning of supporting the marriage between me and Erina, I get goosebumps all over my nerves.

“So, I was testing Harold today, right? No matter how noble you are, anyone who is strong enough to defeat me, the strongest knight in the kingdom, will accept me.

And the hidden truth told by Elbert that goes on one more step.

I remember what he said to me the other day after winning a match.

‘If it’s you, you can leave Erina in peace.’

Coming here, testing me, and saying that I can entrust Erina… I realized what they all meant.

His actions and words added to the explanation and credibility of what Erina’s mother wanted to say.

“Did you not know? I just came to talk to my mother and congratulate them on their wedding…”

Elbert scratched his head and tried to avoid his eyes.

!!!

“Erina…?”

At that moment, I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen, so I quickly turned my gaze to her…

“So, does your mother really want me to marry Harold?”

Gradually, he smiled and started talking to himself, and a meaningful atmosphere encroached on the surroundings.

“Then the possibility that Morione-sama said is this?”

And the words that I can’t understand the meaning of that come to mind when I think of the unexpected past…

“The future between me and Harold…”

“I was talking about the fact that a happy life without a dream come true…!!”

I keep asking myself questions and answering them over and over again, and the increasingly twisted atmosphere stimulates my defensive instincts.

And soon after, as if realizing everything she had longed for, she looked up at me, and Erina looked at me, reliving the atmosphere of the time when her powers first awakened in the past.

Blurred eyes that are a little hard to focus on, red cheeks, and a smile that is even maddening

Trauma-like memories from the past come to mind naturally.

“Erina?”

Unable to overcome the growing anxiety, he calls out her name carefully once again.

widely!

All of a sudden, my hands took hold of my hands and were crushed by an irresistible force.

“Harold!!”

Something’s wrong… I don’t know exactly what happened, but my instincts are warning me like crazy.

Erina, who was excited for a moment, had a refreshing expression on her face as if she had shaken off all the worries she had been holding on to.

Sooner than ever, he smiles happily and shouts at me.

“Marry me!”
