After successfully slaying Relicta, we visited a luxurious hotel near the beach.
The reason for this was that the person who suggested this quest was a person in a business area that operates hotels and services around the beach, so I came here for the purpose of work.
However, we were like, ‘It just seems like this, so let’s go!’ I did not come here with the same sentiment, but because I wrote down the location of this hotel as a place to report the situation and other inquiries specified in the quest document.
“Harold, how about a few days off here after work?”
However, since people have desires, looking around, I felt that my original mission had faded.
“Recently, haven’t we had a proper rest? We worked every day, so it’s okay to play in a place like this from time to time since we’ve been here before, right?”
Erina’s eyes are twinkling, already obsessed with this hotel, and convinces me to give her a devilish whisper to go on vacation with.
“no.”
However, hearing my resolute words like that, I felt like a child whose wish was rejected by my mother.
“Uh… why…”
Erina, unable to understand my feelings at all, shrugged her shoulders and asked the reason in a weak voice.
But her reaction wasn’t incomprehensible.
In Erina’s situation, who doesn’t know my true circumstances, it seems like she has time to live and enjoy life.
However, I didn’t have much time because I had the purpose of returning to the original world as soon as possible.
Of course, there is a period until the next main quest occurs, but considering the preparations for the next quest before that, it could not be extended here.
“I have another mission given by the Goddess, so I have to finish the job as soon as possible and go to complete it.”
He tried to convince her for a reason he made up, but he didn’t seem to accept it easily.
“Ugh… I wanted to spend some time with Harold, but if you still want to, I see no reason to stop you.”
In the end, though, he nodded his head, but the energy had suddenly drained away, so it was a step that looked a bit tired.
“It looks expensive and luxurious as the main customers are upper-class.”
Bored after walking silently through the red carpeted hallway for a while, she looked around and commented on her thoughts.
“It is.”
In response to that, I too slowly looked at the interior of this building, and I had the same thoughts as Erina.
Since this was the most luxurious hotel among resorts, the design was also old-fashioned.
There were lines of decorations, paintings, and ceramics that adorn the walls as if they were shining brightly, and even each of them felt like a luxury item to the point where it felt uniquely intimidating.
That’s what I said, but in the end, the sentence that summed up my thoughts well was ‘It just looks expensive’.
By hiring a designer, it was psychologically analyzed to see how a creature with a human mind felt at ease, and it was covered with objects that looked good enough to think that it was ‘beat with money’ rather than deeply designed.
“I think I did?”
While I was thinking like that, I looked straight ahead at Erina’s voice, which drew my mind out of my thoughts, and a door with the word ‘Office’ came into my sight.
“I think that’s right, let’s go in.”
We arrived in front of the room we were supposed to go to, and knocked lightly to enter.
“Excuse me, I’m going to report you after completing the quest.”
As we enter with those words, a woman with a straight-headed look sets up her glasses and observes us closely.
“Oh, you’re the ones in charge of slaying the unidentified sea monster. I’ll send a staff member to check it out right now.”
He speaks in a clear voice, as if he is reciting a set line, and looks at some documents.
“Is there any evidence that you killed that monster?”
“The body will still be there on the beach.”
I nodded my head once at that, and said something that I did not like.
“I’m sorry, but I think you’ll have to stay here until everything is approved and the quest is declared complete.”
At those words, I was taken aback by the sudden development, but Erina’s eyes came back to life.
“Yes? Why the hell are you doing that?!”
The female staff member looks a little surprised at my slightly urgent attitude, but then she straightens the glasses again and explains why.
“Usually, a fairly complicated process is required before the quest is posted on the guild bulletin board.”
“After going through various procedures and reviewing everything, the guild side approves the quest registration and puts it on the bulletin board.”
In other words, in order for an item to be presented in the store, just as there are many interactions between the manufacturer and the store, in order to place a quest on the guild’s bulletin board, it has to go through a review between the requesting party and the guild side.
“However, this case was too urgent on our side, so we went through the process poorly, and our side just proposed it, so the guild has to go through the proper review even now.”

Now, if we compare what they did here, it feels like eating food that is not even counted at a convenience store without a barcode.“Don’t worry though, your share is paid right now and it’s not illegal. It just takes time.”
“The reason you have to stay is that right now, this is an exceptional situation, which makes the process more complicated and may cause problems while talking with the guild.”
A lot of words were said to explain it to us, but to sum it up, it was the result that me and Erina had to wait here for a while.
“It takes about 3 days, and in the meantime, you will have to stay at the facility here. Of course, for this reason, it is our responsibility, so we will support the cost of accommodation and service use.”
ha…
I take a deep breath inside.
In the end, according to Erina’s wish, we had to enjoy a vacation here even if we didn’t want to.
I’ve already said that I want to play with you here, but it’s not enough to make that wish come true, so I’ll be relieved to hear that you can enjoy it for free.
“Then, can I use it right now?!”
“Yes, of course. If you talk to the person in charge in advance and then go to the counter, you will get the room you want.”
As soon as the words are finished, Erina leads my hand and crosses the hallway like a playful child.
Should I take a forced vacation like Erina suggested…
Still, the next main quest was quite complicated, so it took a lot of time to prepare.
But having to waste time in a place like this made my head throb because it felt like the plan had gone awry.
“Ugh…”
However, one more drink and the pain caused by the curse comes rushing in, and the headache gets stronger.
So far, the treatment that Mir had given me was still effective, and although it was less effective, I could definitely feel it getting worse again.
“……”
After all, should I really recover enough to go on vacation like this?
There’s no way, just enjoy it…
In order to relieve the accumulated fatigue, I had to enjoy a beach vacation with Erina.
◆◆◆
“Are you guys still here?”
We, who had been staying at this hotel for three days, stumbled upon Mir while having lunch at the restaurant inside this building.
“Are you Mir? Why did you come here?”
I greeted her in a normal way, but Erina looked at Mir with uncomfortable eyes, as if she saw an obstacle in her plans.
“After my work was done, I came here to get some food, but you were all there.”
After stating a rather common reason, he sat down at our table all too naturally.
“We have a situation that is a bit long to explain… For now, we have to stay here for three days.”
We briefly describe the situation we are in, but for some reason, Erina opened her eyes and looked at me.
“Hmm, okay?”
Mir, who had a suspicious smile at those words, shrugged her chin and fell into thought, then spoke somewhat unnaturally, as if telling the reason for a hastily made up.
“Actually, I was going to enjoy a little vacation here too, but it’s a coincidence that we met like this, how about spending time together?”
“No, it’s time for me and Harold. Don’t interfere.”
However, the answer was not me, but Erina instead, and the two exchanged stinging eyes for a while at the hostile tone of voice.
I felt burdened when I saw them as if they were enemies competing for the goal they wanted.
“Then you should be more involved, do you think I’ll let you go as you please?”
The lasers in their eyes that didn’t look like sparkles were about to go out, and then they turned their heads, tired of each other’s endless jealousy.
You don’t even listen to my opinion in the first place…
I thought it was going to be a long break, but it looked like I was going to have a really tiring time.
◆◆◆
I ended up having an uncomfortable vacation, and I was faced with difficulties from the beginning.
“Come to think of it, didn’t you hear the result of the match before?”
After eating, I was forcibly dragged back to the beach and forced to watch the two beautiful girls in swimsuits.
Just a few hours ago, I was swayed by the waves, and now I feel dizzy just hearing the sound of the waves…
“Who’s more enchanting? You’re definitely going to make a decision.”
The promises I had made in the past that I couldn’t keep are bothering me now.
Of course, I felt even more injustice because of their coercion that my opinions were not added all of a sudden.
“What do you think?”
Erina and Mir who sincerely seduce me in revealing clothes again
“eww…”
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Now that I have developed some introspection, even if it was me yesterday, I would never have looked around them.“There was a bit of a setback because a sea monster broke in in the middle, but I have to tell you now that it’s all over.”
Erina, who was sentenced to say that there is no more way out, puts her body close to me.
“Yeah, who’s more attractive? Of course not me?”
Mir also embraces one arm in order not to fall behind Erina.
It was barely enough to see her in her swimsuit, but she couldn’t stand to stimulate her so lively.
However, I couldn’t imagine what would happen after that, if I named someone as the winner of a meaningless bet to get out of this awkward situation.
It was terrifying to even think about what the Last Wyrm of Torazin would do to me when I chose Erina.
However, when he chose Mir, his colleague, who had been traveling with him, felt betrayed, and he had no idea what kind of crime he would commit.
“I can’t decide the verdict, just say it’s a draw—”
“”no!!””
However, the opposition between the two of them was too strong to pass it on openly and bluntly.
So, the best thing I can do is to somehow create a situation and end it in a draw.
But there is no such thing as a situation…
“People are gathering in that monster’s corpse, the confirmation procedure the hotel official said earlier…”
There were people who looked like people from the guild and the tourism company around Relicta’s corpse, which I defeated earlier, so I taught him that…
“Don’t turn around, if you’re running out of time, I’ll make you spit out an answer somehow, so it’s best not to overdo it.”
Even my intention to change the thesis somehow somehow blocks my heart from trying to find a breakthrough somehow.
“……”
The pressure of the two girls for a quick answer leaves me speechless and silent.
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t think of any excuses that I have to choose between the two—pounding!
Whoops…!
My heart suddenly beats loudly, and the pain I’ve felt so often that I’m used to it now rushes in.
“Harold?!”
“What’s up.!”
He starts to worry about me as he kneels on one knee with a painful expression on his face.
The darkness that I thought was only suppressed was rising again… It was the effect of a curse…
Obviously, according to Mir’s words, ‘for the time being’ was fine, but it was less effective than I thought.
Of course, it’s a lot less than it was before she responded, but now it’s painful enough to cause some seizures.
“Hey… It seems that the effect is shorter than I thought…”
Mir quickly understands why I am doing this and is deeply immersed in the unexpected problem.
“Harold are you okay…?!”
Erina encourages me and makes me look worried.
“Well, if that’s the case, there’s nothing I can do to update the effect.”
Then, with a suspicious smile, Mir grabs her cheek and holds it firmly to prevent her from turning her head.
“Mir?!”
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Now, in this situation, Mir was obviously trying to do the shameful thing at that time.“What are you two going to do?”
Erina opened her eyes suspiciously at this scene and captured her anxiety.
He wanted to see Erina, who was next to him right now, and he only told her that ‘Mir healed him somehow’, but he didn’t give an exact explanation.
Because the way to relieve the pain of the curse is because you don’t know what kind of disaster you will face if you kiss deeply…
However, considering Mir’s behavior and mood right now, she is trying to cover up her mouth with the pretext of treatment in order to draw a line in front of her.
“Stay still, you know it’s for you, right?”
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No, it’s true… At least, only when the two of us are doing this-side
The soft touch you feel on your lips before you even protest…
“Eupeup?!”
Mir forcibly stole my lips, and as I expected, she made it clear what kind of relationship Mir and I had in front of Erina.
“Huh?!”
Erina, who saw the scene, covered her mouth and opened her eyes as if in disbelief, but that too soon became those dark eyes that she had feared in the past.
“Fuha…”
After the feeling of something unpleasant being sucked out from within me, the silver thread that was firmly connected between the ripped lips is faintly visible.
“Huhuh, this will be fine again, but it seems shorter than I expected, so I have to do it tomorrow too~?”
Mir, who is strangely relaxed, ignoring the girl who is living beside her now, dazzles my shoulder and whispers sweetly in my ear.
“You… what did you do now…?”
I’ve been generous with you so far, but it seems like I’m trying to say that I’ve crossed the line even if I crossed the line.
A big problem has happened… Please, something happened that I didn’t want to happen…
“Until now, Harold didn’t seem to like it, so I tried to be quiet… This isn’t it…”
We need to calm Erina quickly!
“Erina?! Let me explain everything! So listen to me-“
I stopped trying to explain myself, and Mir answered first.
“Herald was suffering from the curse, so I helped him. I feed the darkness, so that he can take away the curse that is engulfing him.”
Then, he puts his hand on Erina’s shoulder, like a bomb just before it explodes, and explicitly stimulates her nerves.
“What?”
Erina grappling her teeth with dissatisfied eyes and rushing to Mir.
“This is Harold’s choice, if it weren’t for me in the first place, I wouldn’t be able to see Harold as healthy as he is now.”
He smiles triumphantly and whispers to Erina, and without knowing why, he just leaves this place.
“So what I’ve done now, even if it’s not forever, it’s an agreed-upon relationship with him, unlike you, who doesn’t even make any progress.”
He clenched his fists at those words and bit his lips hard, sending her infinite hatred.
Strangely, it seemed that he had no intention of harming Mir.
The simple jealousy and the resulting anger and hostility disappeared.
“It’s cooled down, so I’ll just say you won this time, let’s have a good time”
“No matter what you do, Harold won’t accept it.”
Leaving behind such ridicule, Mir moved to the hotel first, and Erina only looked at her with hatred as she gradually moved away.
Then, in the stillness that came, the atmosphere became so cheap, I kept my mouth shut without realizing it.
“……”
Soon after, Mir completely disappeared, leaving only me and Erina on the beach as the sun was setting.
“Herald”
I still had a temper, but a voice that wanted to rule called out my name.
“uh?”
When Erina, who was strangely calm, answered the blow, she bowed her head so that she could not see her face, and then stepped forward.
“Let’s go take a break too, I’m going to rest without leaving my room today.”
Why is Erina accepting all of Zamzako Mir’s ridicule and trying to overcome her anger alone…
If it was normal, I wouldn’t have been able to overcome my jealousy and would have made unreasonable demands on me.
It felt fresher than the reaction that came to mind when Mir kissed me for the first time, so I felt a sense of disappointment.
What the hell is going on…
Seeing her confident yet self-deprecating back, I slowly took my feet off the ground too.
◆◆◆
Time is passing and now it’s late at night when the sky is dark
I slowly lay down on the bed to fall asleep and stared at the ceiling.
Me and Erina were each assigned a private room, so now I was using the room alone.
“……”
Thinking about Erina at the beach earlier, I think deeply.
Those thoughts were mostly the subject of why she, who doesn’t like to lose, was only swayed by Mir’s accusations.
“It seems to have ended strangely, so the aftertaste is bitter…”
He mutters to himself and closes his eyelids.
I thought about it for a while, but Erina’s attitude that I couldn’t quite understand, thinking any more would only make my head dizzy, so I decided to just give up.
“I’ll have to tell you more about it tomorrow…”
One thing for sure is that the bad feelings are over, so if I meet her tomorrow, we should talk properly.
As I relaxed my body with those thoughts, my consciousness gradually faded.
.

rattle rattle
Yes…?
While he was sleeping for a long time, he was awakened slightly by a sound that irritated his ears.
flapping… flapping…
With the sound of something floundering in the duvet, the spirit becomes more and more distinct.
Someone came into my room.
Who is it…?
The feeling of weight in the waist is scary to think about.
It felt like an unknown person was riding on top of me.
“Who is it…?!”
I open my eyes to see who broke into this room…
“Erina…?”
A familiar face appeared on me.
I slept with the door locked, but Erina, who did not know how she got in, sat on top of me and looked down at me with dark, empty eyes.
“Harold…”
Erina calls my name with a warm voice full of emotions
“Yes?”
As I reacted and smiled awkwardly, she suddenly…
Turk!
“Ugh?!”
Without questioning or arguing, they bind my arms and take away my freedom.
“Let’s go, right now.”
At that one word, he took off his clothes without any regrets, and his cloudy eyes pierced through me.
“What?!”
He struggled as much as he could to escape, but it was too much.
“I’ve been putting up with it all this time… Harold is bad…”
As I began to mumble something, I stopped resisting a bit to focus on the words.
“what…?”
“I’ve been patient all along!”
Embarrassment approaches to Erina, who suddenly bursts into tears and cries sadly.
You’ve been patient… What do you mean?
“In my mind, I wanted to do whatever I want, to be honest, I wanted to love you the way I wanted and treat you as I wanted no matter how much I resisted…”
Before I even thought about the cause, Erina sheds light on why she has become like this.
“But I’ve been patient all along… Because Harold hates forced actions… Sometimes I run out of patience and I try to do something to you, but I respect your heart in the end.”
As the cycle of falling tears increases, he continues to say his beliefs like a plea to me with the worst expression that seems to stab my heart.
“Be patient… Be patient… I’ve been beating myself up countless times… If that happens, I have the belief that someday I’ll be able to share my true feelings with you.”
“But it was wrong, no matter how much I suppressed my true feelings and came out mildly, my relationship with you never improved, so even if I always respected you, I felt like I was running again.”
After a while, Erina stopped crying and made a serious expression as if she had decided something.
“After so much patience, I finally realized after listening to Mir’s words today, and no matter what I do, if I stay like this, you won’t accept me until the end… To get you, coercion is a necessity, not an option.”
Then he gently bit the nape of my neck and whispered, tickling my ear.
“Harold… You don’t really want to kiss Mir, either? You had no choice but to do that with her.”
At that, I kept my mouth shut and accepted the question, because her words were so accurate that I couldn’t confidently say ‘yes’.
“…..”
“Haha… it was like that…”
Erina, who had accepted the silence for a moment as if she had accepted the silence as an unspoken affirmation, let out a devastated laugh, and then puts pressure on me again with strength in her arms.
Whoa!
“Ugh?!”
“In order to get you, oppression is essential…”
I try to express my intentions to her in pain that is more painful than I thought, but…
“Wait! My arm hurts…!!”
“Sorry, but I have no intention of stopping. I’ve been patient enough so far.”
She didn’t seem to want to let me go.
“It’s because Harold was wrong, I’ve been wishing and praying for that, but Harold who always rejected me for some reason…”
In the end, the undressing was completed, and the two men and women who were not wearing a single thread were left in the room.
“Now it’s the limit of my patience, I can’t take it any longer. If you don’t accept me, this is how it will be.”
Erina’s face, with a firm will, was mixed with a bewitching look, and her lips were even more intense than the kiss she had with Mir during the day.
“I’m sorry, but this time you really won’t be able to get away. There’s nothing stopping you and me, so if you don’t want to feel it, the ceiling is leaking.”
Erina, who was able to smile while hugging me tightly, happily advises me.
“Or I’m thinking of a child’s name, so I’ll finish it quickly with the least amount of money ♡”
