As the curtains that had blocked the sunlight are removed, a vast flash of light hits the eyelids.
“……”
The sting of the sun, as if pressing on the curtains, pulled my mind out of the abyss, and I woke up from the bed with a still hazy consciousness.
“Good morning Harold! Let’s do well today!”
Erina, who greeted me in the morning with a refreshing voice, was the culprit in waking me up.
“Ugh… yes…”
I’m not yet sane, so I give a rough answer and stretch…
“?!”
As soon as she comes into view, dressed so thin that she can see her insides, her mind suddenly becomes clear as if she had been splashed with cold water.
“That… yesterday was good, and… I’m sorry…”
After reading my face, Erina blushes shyly, reminding her that what happened yesterday is real.
Whoa!
Then, along with the heat on her face that swelled up like a kettle, shameful memories flashed through her head.
My mind is not yet perfect, so it’s like a dream, as if in reality, the memories of last night…
I must have had an affair with Erina…
The miracle that someone broke in or interrupted for some reason like last time did not happen again, and in the end, I could not bear her bondage and I was forcibly tied.
“Hmm~ Hmm~ Hmm~”
Maybe that’s why today, as if he’s feeling exceptionally good, he hummed his hum and looked so refreshing with every step he took.
“Ahh…”
However, unlike Erina’s mood, my feelings right now were so miserable.
It’s definitely not what I did… I was rather a victim… But yesterday’s scene of great chaos weighed on my shoulders.
The night events that were carried out violently exchanging breaths like beasts, emptiness and humiliation of unknown origin come crashing down like waves.
“Aww…!”
He lamented deeply and raised his voice, and a zombie-like sound came out.
In my cold head, where only intelligent reason remained, I was accusing me of various reasons.
On the one hand, shameful and on the other hand, feelings of injustice were confused, so it was complicated to the point that I couldn’t express my feelings.
But the thought of wanting to cry is every single thing
On the other hand, I am rebuked for my incompetence, which is why I couldn’t resist her.
Without much to say, I felt like I wanted to be sublime, hit the ground and cry.
“Harold, I’m not going to make a face like that.”
However, Erina who comes close to me and gently caresses my heart
“You didn’t do anything wrong, it’s just my atrocities.”
He leans gently against me, closes his eyes, and whispers to me with a gentle smile.
“Your attitude of being so responsible even though there’s no reason to feel guilty… I like your goodness of blaming yourself for anything unreasonable.”
“It’s not Harold’s fault, so cheer up.”
“…..”
Hearing those words, I take deep breaths and slowly come to my mind. It’s not easy, but I’m used to these complex and unpleasant emotions, so I knew what to do.
“yes…”
It calms the mind and shakes the negative thoughts away, but it is not completely overcome, and the bitter aftertaste still remains, but it is okay.
“Then do you want to go out for breakfast?”
I agree with that statement with a nice smile and leave the bed, but the problem that comes naturally
‘How should I explain to Eleana…?’
At that thought, the tension rises again.
“Harold? Why are you making such a complicated expression again?”
If I ever met Eleanor again, how would I make an excuse…
Even just touching her for a moment is enough to raise her horns if she feels that she belongs to another woman.
Recently, Mir and I shared my lips with Erina, and I even mixed up my body, so if this fact is found out, my life will be short-lived for that day.
What should I really do…?
I wanted to despair of the reality approaching like a storm once again.
“……”
But what should I do… What has already happened, I have no choice but to face it…
Even if I thought about it, it was a fragmentary mindset that did not consider the future, but I have so many burdens that I just wanted to put everything down for now.
“Nothing.”
He reassured Erina and moved her steps again.
Guarding only with thoughts that will surely come with regret, such as whether something will happen in the future
◆◆◆
Time passed and the promised three days passed, and everything was handled normally, and we were able to return to the royal capital.
Wherever Mir went, it disappeared within a day.
Two days of killing time, really relaxing and clearing my head.
After my relationship with Erina, I grew closer to her, and although I’m ashamed to say it out loud, we’ve been like lovers.
The first day was chaos itself, but after that, I was happy to have a rather comfortable vacation.
Druck…!
But as time goes by, it inevitably comes
“Come, my servant, I have been waiting for you.”
The moment came when I had to face the goddess I served.
“Come on, come before me. I haven’t seen you for the past three days, so it seems like I have a lot to talk about.”
He seemed a little unhappy, whether he knew what had happened to me, or whether he had vomited out of sight for a few days.
gulp
Swallowing dry saliva, I slowly moved my steps, but I could not easily move my steps due to the heavy air flow.
The situation is even more tense because it seems that Eleanor would really know what I was going through.
“Yes, Servant Harold… has appeared before you.”
He gently lowered his head, letting out formal words.
It was a painful moment, as if time really passed slowly, and I wanted this moment to pass quickly because of the tension that reached its peak.
However…
chin!
“Ugh?!”
I don’t know what kind of magic he used, but Eleanor, who pulled me out of the air, holds me in her arms and pierces me with sharp eyes.
“Well then, tell me what’s going on.”
That attitude of doubting me with a certain heart… It seemed certain.
“yes…”
I don’t know how I noticed it, but as I vaguely expected, I had to spit out every single thing that happened while I was going to the beach.
◆◆◆
“Really… it’s ridiculous, I just said it…”
Hearing all the facts, Eleanor sighed and scolded me.
“What did I say? Woman. Come on, be careful. But it’s not enough to come here with a stinky smell. To allow another woman besides me… That’s a lot of imaginary courage.”
I had no choice but to politely put my hands together to accept the criticism.
The good news, though, is that I’m not as angry as I thought I was… it was just being scolded.
Just as questions were about to arise about that attitude, she told me why she was unexpectedly calm.
“Also, while I haven’t seen it, it’s been tainted… but you’re definitely mine, so my heart is numb less than it used to be.”
Well, I already decided that it was my own, so we got into a relationship with Erina, but in the end it was forced and we didn’t agree with each other…
“Harold, you are my man, and even if other things are twisted, that is the same fact…”
I had this attitude because I had genuinely wanted each other with Eleanor before.
If this happens, it may not be as special as you think…?
kokok
But as soon as I think about it, it suddenly grabs my clothes.
“Still, the fact that you did something unscrupulous with another woman has not changed, you have an obligation to dedicate yourself to me again.”
My Goddess who wants to do dangerous things in broad daylight…
Ah… is it going to be like this…
“haha…”
Finally, only the sound of my absurd laughter spread.
◆◆◆
“My knight, I have something to say to you.”
An hour after work is over, when she returns to her usual mood, Eleanor opens her solemn eyes as if she’s in a serious situation.
“What’s going on…?”
“In your absence,
The lines that usually approached familiar, probably seemed certain.
“Recently, it is said that there are ominous omen among the gods, and a cataclysmic cataclysm that will twist the fate of the gods will come within a month, if not possible.”
The last quest of the early chapter, now the time to finish the story of the royal road, the scale was also different from other quests.
“Morione, who is called the goddess of fate, wrote a handwritten letter to all the gods, so it must be that serious.”
The scene announcing the start of the first quest occurs when you visit the god you serve.
“I’m half worried and half interested in what the hell is going to make the world shake.”
Each god has a slightly serious and heavy atmosphere like Eleanor, and on the one hand, poses a question to his believer with an expression of anxiety and curiosity on the other.
“Herald, do you have any guesses?”
At those words, I rest my chin for a moment and think
“No, I don’t know how a mortal could dare to anticipate the will of God.”
I also bow my head with a serious face in line with her mood.
In fact, I knew why Morione wrote this letter this time, and I knew the cataclysmic event that even twisted the fate of the gods.
“Hmm… Is that so… If you say that, I won’t ask any more.”
However, in order to progress the story smoothly, I decided that it was better to go with the flow of the game, so I deliberately pretended not to know.
The reason Morione has gone so far and awakened the gods is that the night of ruin that will happen in the near future
“According to the contents of the letter, dangerous things happen to our gods.”
It was literally a recent event, and it was a very big event in the story to say that God might have died in the setting.
The night of ruin is set as a dark and dark night with the red moon rising, and it is said that it will occur one day when dark energy accumulates and fills the world.
It’s just a strange night, I wonder if it’s necessary to build it as a cumbersome night of ruin
The real problem with this is that it empowers those who have fallen into the dark and suppresses the power of others.
And in this worldview, the only group that comes to mind is those who are closely related to darkness.
pagan
It is a group of fanatics who worship and serve the now-disappeared evil old gods, and they are the ones who will be bored to face in the second chapter of the academy.
As the most secretive and dangerous group in the world, it was the worst group in history produced by the dark relics left behind by the Old Gods before they disappeared.
Although they were biologically dead, they were traveling around the world, firmly believing that someday they would be resurrected with their faith.
“Anyway, he told me to be prepared from now on, and it was written to warn all believers and not to be vigilant.”
In terms of the story, the plot of the last quest is when the night of ruin comes, and the stronger heathens believe in their power and unite to invade the kingdom.
Against this, the gods lifted their restrictions to protect the land they cultivated and gathered in the center of the royal road to defend together with the faithful.
And the process was impressive in many ways, and I saw it from the other side of the screen, but the scene at that time was so horrifying.
On a night that should have been pitch-black, the buildings were lit up on fire, and the screams of people were heard from various places….
However, it was a quest that ended with a good ending to successfully block the offensive with the gods and keep the peace, but it was a quest that gave users a strong experience.
“Harold? Are you listening to me?”
As I was afraid to organize my thoughts, I quickly nodded at the words of Eleanor calling me.
“Yes… Knight Harold, at the command of the Goddess, we will keep our guard up for seven days.”
Only after hearing those words did Eleanor stop worrying about rain, and after exchanging many words, I left the temple.
“…..”
As I walk through the forest that seems peaceful now, I think of various countermeasures.
The last quest is a battle where maintenance is very important as it is a battle.
However, for me, who can only use large-scale magic, the only downside is that the holding power is weak.
So, I was thinking of overcoming my weaknesses and preparing what I could as a capital to prepare for any contingency.
Also, I tried to ask him all the time, but I couldn’t ask because of other things, so when I’m done with the royal capital, I’ll have to go back to Eleona and ask for a magic that consumes less magic this time…
The downside of this quest is that you never know when it will happen.
Even in the setting, when it happened, it was not disclosed, and by analogy with the lines, there was only a guess that it would be within a month from now, so it should be prepared so that it can be dealt with at any time.
Probably, the probability is low, but it is not strange to wake up tomorrow, so it is important to prepare as soon as possible.
I’m heading towards the royal road quickly with my steps a little more urgent…
Tuk!
“yes?!”
A certain being pops out of the grass and blocks my way.
“Who is it?!”
I put my hand on the portable sword on my side and warn me…
“It’s me, brother!!”
I heard a voice I had never heard before.
A little girl with a short stature that reached my belly button, short black hair and red eyes, and a little girl that resembled Mir but was something different.
“Promise…?”
The black dragon Miru stops me with her arms and legs wide open.
“Yeah, it’s me! Miru! It’s sudden as soon as we meet, but I have something to say. It sounds weird, but you have to listen carefully!”
It’s so urgent that she’s sweating and gasping for breath. She gives me outrageous advice.
“If you don’t want to die, leave this kingdom right now!”
