The time goes back to the past, when Harold’s party visited Morione’s temple.
“Well… I’m not sure… Maybe that’s the way it is…?”
It doesn’t sound like a guarantee, but the fact that his opinion was affirmed alone made his eyes start to become cloudy as if something had been obscured by various scenes.
“Could you possibly have a glimpse into the finer details of the future?”
“Yes… four?”
Due to the sudden change in the atmosphere, Morione forcibly raises the corners of her mouth and smiles with a frightened expression.
“I asked if you could predict exactly what would happen, the goddess of fame and fortune, you can get a glimpse of that, right?”
“That… that…”
Like a patient who is aware of a mental illness, he keeps dropping his words and trying to avoid the burdensome gaze.
Suppressed with fear, his body shuddered, and his pupils continued to wander, unable to find where to look.
Even the two of them showed a desperate reluctance to face-to-face to such an extent that anyone could see whether they had social phobia.
However, it is not strange that Morione reacted like this…
“If there is, please let me know!! A future where I can connect with Harold!!”
The two girls with the power to kill themselves were so frightened that they couldn’t tell the difference between the opposite s*xes.
“Hey?!”
Morione’s heart fluttered at the sudden shout that came without notice, and she puts her hands on her chest, startled by the sound that would be embarrassing for others to hear.
Luckily, the red-haired girl could feel a little kindness because she was a mortal…
“If you don’t speak quickly, I’ll twist fate and create a future where you don’t exist…”
The black old dragon next to him had no mercy at all due to his god-loathing personality, and now he grips Morione’s neck by grinding his teeth as if he has shown the bottom of his patience.
“Big… uh…”
As if it was difficult to breathe, the sound of suffocation was heard unpleasantly, and he desperately slaps Mir’s wrist to express his intention.
“Ah… okay… say… do…”
After barely squeezing out his voice, he was able to enjoy the fresh air again.
“Heh heh… heh heh… heh heh…”
After exhaling a few deep breaths, Morione regained her settled breath and opened her mouth with trembling lips.
“Okay… Are you asking me to look at the possibilities you want?”
He asked what he wanted with a gentle smile as he could, but Erina and Mir looked a little suspicious.
“You see possibilities?”
“I’ll explain step by step.”
However, after reading these puzzled faces, Morione finds out what parts they do not understand and explains them as much as possible so that they can understand them.
“Fate is such a vague concept that, no matter how hard you try, it’s absolutely difficult to change, yet it can be so easily twisted that the future can change depending on what you ate for lunch today.”
When they heard these words, the two still looked at each other with anger.
“So in the future that I can glimpse, there are many situations, that is, one can see many fates in one person.”
She gently rubs her fingers and smiles as if she’s up to something.
“I’ve decided to call this a possibility.”
Possibility
As a concept that refers to the degree to which it can be realized in the future, Morione literally meant that the word could predict the various futures that would occur to others.
“I understand what you’re trying to say, so look at the tonic potential that I have with Harold.”
Mir and Erina, who understood Morione’s meaning, were silent for a moment, and then looked at Morione with a stubborn expression on their faces.
“I also want to see a future that can lead to Harold.”
After confirming the will of the two girls, Morione nodded with satisfaction.
“Okay, then I’ll start.”
With those last words, Morione slowly closes her eyes, takes a deep breath and continues to exhale, looking at the sky with a somewhat hazy look on her face.
“Sa-ㅡㅡ.. ah… de–“
Someone else continues to mumble to herself in a fast, unrecognizable way, and soon mysterious illusions occur around her, and Morione’s body comes to mind as if it had become weightless.
After some time passed, Morione finished her foresight and returned to her original state, and as soon as she opened her eyes, a meaningful smile appeared.
“I saw the fate of both of them, and I saw the greatest possibility that Harold could go on as he wanted.”
Whispering with such confidence, the two of them lost half of their sanity again, as if waiting, and shouted in an urgent voice.
“Tell me right now.”
“What did you see?!”
He restrains the two girls who are about to rush at him, beckoning them to calm down.
“Okay, I’ll tell you, so there’s no need to rush!”
Although they are reluctant, they have to follow Morione’s words in order to hear the possibility of connecting with the person they love, so they have no choice but to shut their mouths and remain silent.
“I have something to say before, if someone knows someone else’s fate, it’s so easy to twist that it can be considered almost certain, so I’ll only tell each of them in a whisper.”
The two nodded their heads in agreement without dissatisfaction with the proposal, and Erina motioned for Mir first.
“Golden dragon, lend me your ear for a moment.”
Mir, who gently brought her ear to her mouth at Morione’s request, calmly listened to the whispered possibility of fate…
“Are you sure?”
“As far as you know, I can’t say 100%, but it’s probably the best way to do it.”
Mir, who soon heard all the advice, looked at Morione with a suspicious look, but seemed to reluctantly agree as she responded with a serious expression.
“Okay, now I’ll tell you the possibility I peeked from you.”
When Erina’s turn came, she put her ear to Morione’s lips with a lot of tension, and words that were a little difficult to understand continued.
“The possibilities that I’ve peeped from you are so profound, the greatest future you can have with Harold is to give up one side.”
“If you want to connect with him, the dream you’ve been hoping for won’t come true, but you will surely connect with Harold and get happiness, and there is a very low chance that you can achieve both, but if you try too hard, you’ll lose Harold.”
She couldn’t understand what Morione was talking about right away, and Erina herself repeats those words over and over again and desperately tries to interpret them.
“You can’t achieve your dreams, but the future that leads to them…”
With those self-talks, he looks back on the wishes he has nurtured so far.
‘My dream is to go on adventures freely and be reborn as a warrior in the future…’
He recalls the reason for the first adventure and writes a monologue in his mind.
‘But such a dream cannot come true, and instead the fate that can be formed with Harold…’
I weigh my inner values and ponder which one will have a happier ending, but
‘Isn’t it the result that I want more to be with Harold of course?’
The inner conflict was quickly over.
It may have been in the past, but for now, it was Erina who decided who she was and who she was living and breathing, so the time to decide the answer was very short.
“I don’t know when that time will be, but I will never miss it.”
As he goes down the stairs, he looks at the man he wants to share his love with so much and makes an endless promise.
Erina doesn’t fully understand Morione’s words right now, and only when the situation comes, she will be able to fully understand it.
However…
“If I can connect with Harold, I’ll throw away all my dreams of going on an adventure.”
However, if that time comes one day, Erina will never miss the opportunity.
◆◆◆
“……”
Just like the sound of a reminder to start the day, the sound of chirping birds and the warm sunlight naturally open your eyes and awaken your consciousness.
“Ham…”
When he wakes up with his still hazy consciousness, a more languid sensation than usual calls for a desire to be buried in bed again.
It had been a long time since I had been sleeping in a very deep and comfortable bed, and I felt particularly tired.
I spent one night at the Lovias family, and the furnishings provided were so luxurious that, unlike the situation they were in, they seemed to have slept well.
Wicked!
Then, the curtain that had been covering the room darkly passes through, and a sudden flash of light steals my vision and closes my eyes tightly.
“Harold! It’s morning, wake up!”
Then, at the sound of Erina’s soft voice, she tilted her bed to and fro and scrambled.
“Sorry… I slept for quite some time…”
I wonder if it’s because I slept longer than usual, my hair was messy and oily, but Erina had a neat appearance in the dress she wore yesterday.
“It’s okay! You have to accept this habit, so we can live together without conflict.”
After yesterday’s incident, she couldn’t handle her delusions and mood, which has been running rampant all the time.
I still haven’t revealed my exact intentions, but Erina’s head seemed to be generous and happy in every way, as if she had already had a harmonious family.
“We have separate rooms for now, as nothing has been arranged yet, but soon we will be able to sleep in the same bed.”
Ignoring Erina who was approaching me with a bright smile, I looked at the equipment stuck in the corner of the room with pity.
The clothes and armor I had been using were scattered coldly, as if they had put away all the rubbish.
“There’s nothing we can do about being adventurers, but we can still be together—”
“Erina.”
Erina’s words in my voice, which can feel cold, are cut off, and she also looks at the place I’ve been looking at all the time and gets a little terrified.
“We shouldn’t be here, the place we should be is the guild hall.”
Erina, who heard me, was still smiling, but it usually turned into a forceful feeling, and her words were blurred as if she was desperately turning away from something.
“How about learning about office work from today? It will be quite helpful in the days to come.”
“No… what we have to do is get rid of the demons.”
“Oh, and would you like to dress neatly? How about trying a suit that suits Harold?”
He ignores my story so naturally as if he can’t hear it, and speaks only his own opinion.
“I have some plans-“
“I’m looking forward to seeing you in a suit! I’m going to introduce you to the whole family.”

Now, even at the very least, he desperately blocks me from saying the next thing.“Erina!”
When she shouts her name in a tone filled with excitement and can’t stand it, her face suddenly turns into a terrified look.
“……”
As the silence continued, there was a heavy stillness in this space for a while, but for me now, even the time for that was wasted.
“Let’s convince Mother again to go back to the adventure, and if it goes well, we can get back to the life we had before we went on a journey together.”
I tried to convince Erina with a serious voice, but for some reason, Erina actively denies it, unlike the way she usually respects my opinions as much as possible.
“No… I don’t need to continue living a dangerous life? If I keep going like this now, I can live the rest of my life comfortably and happily.”
With a sad face, he whispers with all his heart to dazzle me into the life I am now.
“There’s no need to risk touching my mother’s heart. If we make a mistake, we may not be able to connect and our adventures may be abandoned. Let’s safely be satisfied with our present life, please…”
He pleads with me with an earnest voice, but because I also have a clear goal, I have to put it forward even if I feel depressed.
“Let’s go protest right now, trust me, I’ll definitely create an opportunity-“
“no.”
I, too, continued my explanation with utmost earnestness, but what came back was cold apathy.
“Erina?”
saah….
As if they couldn’t see it anymore, the temperature in this place dropped in an instant, and a cold wave raged.
The red eyes that had just shone brilliantly like rubies were also cloudy, and the cold energy exhaled, causing the illusion of numbness in the hands and feet.
“Why are you trying to get away from this life so far? Let’s just live in the present, content with this present life, I have you and you have me…”
Whoops…
“Ugh!”
Suddenly, I lost my freedom with a strong pain in my wrist.
For me, there was a force that I could not resist.
“Harold.”
As if some bad switch had been turned on, the frosty atmosphere changed in a strange direction…
“Eh… Erina? Why are you suddenly changing clothes-“
Suddenly, he was tearing off the clothes he was wearing well, and he was staring at me with a sinister look in my face.
“After all, you have no life to take responsibility for, so you are taking a risk.”
She was so strong that she could easily subdue mine with just one hand, and all she could do was jump like a fish out of the water.
“Then, if you have something to protect, will you please stay quietly here?”
After a wicked grin, he spit out words that made my heart flutter.
“If you make him a father, he won’t say that he wants to go on an adventure even if he’s worried about the child.”
“?!!”
What a crazy sound, Gandam spit out cool words and stimulated my reason to the limit.
As if an emergency alarm has sounded, the signal that rings in your head increases tension and your heart starts beating abnormally.
“Erina? Stop it…!”
Despite such a wind, he still dazzles his taste buds with a suspicious smile.
“Don’t worry, it will be over sooner than you think.”

Now that I realized what Erina was trying to do to me, I desperately tried to tie her up, but it was already running out of order and I couldn’t stop it.“This is not right… it’s the wrong thing to do!”
“No, I wasn’t wrong.”
The way of thinking itself was distorted, so I couldn’t say anything.
“Rather, I don’t understand why you make such a face, isn’t it just a situation where you can smile if you just change your mind a little?”
He was as rough as a doll, and he had no choice but to be helpless even if he wanted to, and he had to quietly listen to the whispering voices that tickled his ears to break his reason.
“I’m not going to put on such a serious face, so I’ll just take what I get.”
It’s been a long time since I’ve taken out all my thin clothes, and now it’s a really dangerous moment.
“This is a crime…”
He spoke with the last hope and prayed for her reason to return, but…
“Why do you think it’s a crime? If we both feel good, isn’t it ok?”
They casually spit out the regular comments of common s*x offenders.
“It will be more comfortable if you just accept it and enjoy it.”
My doctor ignores it, puts his lips to his lips and lets out a sweet voice.
“So what I’m trying to do now is not rape, it’s s*xual intercourse.”
That’s r*pe for sure for sure rn I’m thinking what will happen if he’s goddess knows about this the drama lol
