“Goddess? You’ve just returned.”
As soon as I put down the thin tent and entered the small temple prepared in haste, the goddess whom I am serving personally comforts me.
“Harold! I’ve already heard the story, so I’m sure you did a great job!”
Goddess who welcomes me with a bright smile, welcomes me with a complexion that looks brighter than ever.
It seemed as if the rumors had already spread, or, in particular, the gods had already heard what I was going through.
“Come on, the next secret facility is here.”
“Move quickly, heretics, you guys are done.”
It was a rather chaotic situation that was too noisy just outside, and the guards were moving fast and working frantically in their rushed daily routine.
After finishing the case about Lusria, we should have made a report accordingly, so we made a promise.
“Finally, one of the Old Gods is falling asleep again for an eternity and arresting a large number of church members at the same time.
It is a secret that she will not divulge except to us by making up a lie that she has met her death or a similar ending.
The guard reported that the Old God had been sealed again, and based on the information of Mr. Arsia, who was active inside the academy, they searched out the members of the church hiding in the academy, immediately dispatched personnel to arrest those who dreamed of resurrecting the Old God, and uncovered their secret facilities. .
“Yes, it was too strong and difficult to handle, but I was able to somehow solve it because I was just resurrected and I didn’t even eat my own meat.”
Of course, if we revealed the secret we were hiding, she would be alive now.
And in my arms…
‘You talk too much, that goddess…’
A boring voice echoing in my head
‘Goddess of Destiny, the goddess that her husband serves…’
The ancient god that is hidden with a collar, but still exists in the pendant I am wearing now.
Instead of whispering in my ear, he conveys his opinion to me through an unfamiliar feeling that rings directly in my head.
In hindsight, her actual body was a pendant, so it was the perfect part in terms of camouflage and deception.
In addition, if necessary, it is said that by consuming a portion of my magic power, it can take shape and use a portion of its power in a very small amount.
“I’m really glad, that I became a princess as a result of that sacrifice… I’m glad I saved my life, but I’ve heard that you need to rest for a while.”
It seemed that Marika had already heard the whole story of this incident, or that her soul would have been destroyed.
“And even the main culprit that caused this… I wonder if the candidate to become the next ruler of this country was a minion from a member of the cult. Even the other gods didn’t expect it at all?”
Even the fact that her brother, Prince Abram, is a heretic…
If this incident is made known to the public, all the people will be exposed to shocking news.
He was able to win the people’s trust overwhelmingly, both physically and mentally. Behind the scenes, he was a member of a denomination that was considered a sin that was never allowed, and he acted as the head of an organization.
If he had human morality, it was an incomprehensible sin, but he was judged because he died in the process and had a terrible ending.
As a result of this incident, the public sentiment of the current royal family will be greatly shaken, and the streets will be chaotic for a while.
One person’s atrocities will lead to a great tragedy that cannot be undone, it was truly a pity.
“In this case, the respective gods will have to guide their faithful at their discretion, and I’ll be busy for a while.”
However, there was also a good result of eradicating one of the sources of all evil, so the goddess’ mood did not look very bad.
“You’ve worked so hard, Harold, it’s been the luck of my life to have you.”
The goddess is happy with the relationship with me and smiles happily.
“Wait… can you come to me?”
Goddess who beckons me and maintains a gentle smile, I slowly approach Morione-sama, who had no reason to refuse.
“Goddess?”
As I approached her, he hugged me deeply and savored me.
“Stay like this, my Harold…”
Longing for something but longing for something… The atmosphere is somewhat subdued.
“Wait a minute… Goddess…”
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Normally, I would just be held in this private space for a while thinking that I couldn’t do it, but now was an exception.‘Wait a minute, husband?’
An ominous energy begins to be felt from the pendant located on his chest.
Because now this place was not at all private, that is, I wasn’t the only one with Morione.
‘Oh my… Could my companion be an octopus? Why do you think there are so many legs to hang on?’
The growing pressure, the situation was not good…
“Yes why?”
However, the Goddess, who has no way of knowing how I feel, hugs her more strongly when I call her and completely sinks into her arms.
Whoops… Whoops…
The pendant started to vibrate and vibrate unstable as if sending a warning signal.
This… is going to be a big deal…?
If this situation continued any longer, Lusria, who could not make a wise decision, was afraid of what would happen, so the embarrassing sight had to end quickly.
“I’m sorry!”
“Ugh?”
I had no choice but to use a little bit of force and came off. It seemed that Morione-sama was rejecting me.
“I’m sorry, Goddess… I’m a little bit sensitive right now because I’m tired…”
He defends his sudden action by arguing with excuses he came up with on the fly.
“Hmm… Yeah? Then there’s nothing I can do about it, because I’ve come out of that hardship… You’ve worked hard today, so let’s take a break.”
There was a lot of regret in his voice, but he ended the meeting in order to be considerate of me.
“I will remain at the academy for now, but I have to stay here until the situation is settled. The academy will be closed for a while.”
After talking about the future policy for a while, he looks at me as if it’s okay to go now.
“Okay, Sister Harold… I’m leaving for today.”
After being politely prepared and walking towards the tent, the Pendant had been repeating a strange trembling since before, as if Lusria was strongly dissatisfied with her previous actions.
‘husband? Do you have anything to say to me?’
When I left Morione-sama’s tent, Lusria was talking to me like a ghost, and at the same time, the vibration stopped.
If you dare to predict, it seems that she was preparing something huge inside the pendant…
“My Goddess is showing a little too much affection…”
‘Do you think I’m saying this because I just want to hear that?’
I tried to get over it, but she didn’t give up easily.
‘Really… uh… haha… I’ll let you go for now.’
However, she tried to say something for a while, and then sighed as if she had given up after thinking about it, and she seemed to have her own thoughts.
‘After all… no.’
What the hell are you up to… Personally, I was a little afraid.
‘So what are we going to do now? Recovering my husband’s true memories will have to be done by ourselves, so I think it will take a little more time.’
In fact, including Lusria, Erina, Aris, and Lusria, etc., who were on site, had a meeting except for me.
That’s what I remember, hearing stories about my real past give me an overly headache, so I couldn’t participate in any other work for myself.
A truly ironic situation, because of the magic engraved inside me, I couldn’t hear the story of the real past.
So, it is a situation in which other personnel who do not have any problem listening to the situation must first hear the situation.
Presumably, Erina had a close relationship with me in the past…
broken…
“Ugh…”
When I try to think of something else, a sound like a splash of sparkle rings in my head and I feel a headache.
This time, as the content is light, I can go over it as lightly as possible, but the deeper I dig, the more I get to the point where I can’t be touched.
Anyway, back to the point and answering the question I got from Lusria…
“I’m going to visit Marika for now, and it won’t be the only pain in the mind, including the body.”
According to the news, Marika was awake, but she was told that her mood was unusually gloomy.
‘Are you more concerned about the princess girl than me? As a wife, did you feel sad about something?’
To be honest, I want to keep denying that she and I are a couple, but honestly, it was such a contract…
‘I help my husband tell the truth and he loves me… Wasn’t that the condition?’
To be honest, he was vaguely predicting that he would take enormous responsibility with just words.
At first, I thought that I could easily follow him even if he was between enemies just by fluttering his mouth… But as I returned to the original world, one more magic engraved inside me was added.
soul contract
Literally, it was a contract that had to stake their souls, a disaster for liars who lose their lives if they break it and become theirs.
“……”
So it’s a bit extreme, but she and I were a couple… there was no excuse for her to complain to me.
‘You don’t have to make a face like that, I’m generous with my love, did I tell you before? Whatever it is, it will eventually flow according to her husband’s will.’
Whoa!
At the end of Lusria’s words, the pendant hidden in her arms emits a strong purple light, hoping for light through her clothes.
“After all, this form is the most comfortable.”
She shapes herself and appears in front of me.
“Wait a minute…! I have eyes to see…!!”
She’s worried that she might get caught because she has eyes around her, but she shrugs casually.
“It’s okay, I’m in a state of cognitive impossibility because I cast a convenient spell, so even a strong person won’t recognize me.”
Then, as if it was freedom, I headed to a different place.
“Where are you going?”
He answers my question with a slight smile that feels a little lingering.
“To meet Arsia and to regain your memories, we couldn’t share the story earlier. You’re going to meet the princess, aren’t you comfortable alone?”
Marika confessed that she loved me, and Lusria also considers me her husband.
But you still allow me to go see you alone?
He was so generous than I thought, I was all absurd.
“Really… are you okay?”
As if he knew my thoughts, he immediately responded and shook his head.
“No, I don’t like it to be honest… How do you know what’s going to happen?”
I wonder if he is suspicious of Marika, not me, and I feel jealousy that is not directed at me, and I narrow my eyes in dissatisfaction.
“But… Seeing my husband’s expression makes me want to go alone… No matter how hard I try to hide it, I can’t ignore the obvious feeling.”
It’s not because I want to spend time alone with Marika, but… I wonder if I’ve noticed that I feel uncomfortable with being together all the time…
“Leave only that pendant to me, the magic that makes up my body belongs to my husband, so I shouldn’t be far away from it… but it’s very generous compared to the main body of the pendant.”
Reaching out to me and asking for a pendant, I took off the pendant I was wearing around my neck and gave it to her.
“Okay… Thanks.”
I thank her with a very complicated feeling. It is true that I want to deny my relationship with her, but I also felt a little sorry for being treated this way.
Looking at it, I was also a very frustrated person… Because I couldn’t give a clear answer on what I wanted to do or what I was thinking…
Ultimately, it was really ironic to sympathize with the enemy.
“However, should you be careful with your actions? I’ve given you freedom, but I won’t forgive you for everything… If something happens that crosses the line… I don’t know then.”
Leaving such a warning, Lusria headed somewhere.
As I looked at her lonely back for a moment, many thoughts came to my mind, but I quickly pushed my way.
◆◆◆
The place was a hospital near the academy, and whether it was a facility mostly used by high-ranking people, it had a dazzling interior like a top-notch hotel.
smart
Arriving in a hospital room, I knocked three times to announce that I had come, loosening my strength as much as possible so as not to irritate the princess inside…
“come in.”
Having been granted admission, I grab the door handle and pull it gently. When I see her, I announce that I am here.
“Marika, it’s me Harold… How are you?”
Her condition… didn’t look very good, Marika sitting on her bed with a bandage on her head and looking out the window.
The problem was her expression… The atmosphere was so empty and like a shell, and her face looked as if she had lost her self…
“Harold?! Uh.. Welcome!”
However, when he announces that I have come, his face suddenly becomes lively and he sees me off.
Marika’s appearance with something left behind… When I showed up, she, who had no soul like a puppet, suddenly changed her attitude and felt pretentious.
“Other than a little bit of motivation… there’s no problem externally!”
She also knew that she was mentally serious, and the many sorrows in her voice continue to build up in my heart.
“I’m glad… and brother… did you hear the story…?”
Then, she slowly brings up a topic that she can be sensitive to.
“Ugh…”
Then he moans small but painfully as if he had been hit directly.
“Sorry…! Did I ask something?”
However, when I apologize, he responds with a smile and whispers answers to my questions.
“No, it’s okay! And… Of course I’ve heard of your brother, and his death in the end… Before he was sacrificed, his memories remain clear, so it’s even more confusing…”
cunt…
I approach her and hold her hand, I wanted to somehow comfort her, who is now very mentally unstable.
What should I say… ‘How are you feeling?’ I didn’t want to say the same thing and calm the atmosphere even more.
“Honestly, I can’t even express how I feel, not just this time, because you’ve always been cold to me…”
However, she tells her honest thoughts and grabs the blanket.
“But still, I didn’t hate him… I just admired him for his superior ability… That’s why it’s hard for me to express my feelings.”
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No matter how much you try to kill yourself and treat you coldly while you are alive, you are a family member and someone you admired, so you can’t resent it.I could vaguely understand what she was trying to say.
“yes I’m fine.”
I comforted her and didn’t say any more, I just stayed by her side.
“Ugh… Harold…”
Looking at my eyes like that, he opens his eyes full of emotions and looks up at me.
“Maybe… if you don’t mind, can you stay until midnight?”
There was no reason to refuse if there was anything he could do for her who needed psychological support.
“If you want…”
◆◆◆
Time passes and the night outside the window is just dyed black
It seemed like he had been by her side for quite some time and had talked to her.
“I feel so at ease because of you, and I feel a bit reassured.”
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Now, he looks at me with eyes full of vitality, as if he has regained the atmosphere of the past.“That’s good.”
smart
What kind of timing is it?
“come.”
The first reaction to the knock is instantaneous, but Marika’s voice has a certain emotion in it.
“come in.”
When permission was granted, the door to the hospital room opened and a bottle of wine and appetizing food were placed on a plate.
“Princess, it’s evening time. I’ll take the food you requested, and I wish you a speedy recovery.”
Staff serving food to the table with that horse and leaving immediately
If you look at it this way, there really is no hotel.
“The amount of food is bigger than I thought…? And two wine glasses, a fork and a knife…”
She couldn’t eat it all by herself, and the tableware was prepared for two people.
“I’ve prepared a Harold, too, so please don’t refuse it in return.”
Did you order mine too… When the hell did you do it? Even so, if you have prepared this way, the person in charge will be even more sad if you refuse.
“Okay, but is it okay to eat this?”
“As I said before, there are no problems with the body and the psychological pain is great… Rather, it’s better to eat something like this to relieve your mood.”
Convinced by that, he got up from the bed and took her seat at the table to meet her.
“I also prepared wine, I want to share a glass with you…”
Then, he brings out wine that looks expensive at first glance and pours half of it into his glass.
“If Marika wants to do it.”
To be honest, I’m rather weak to alcohol, so I’d like to avoid drinking as much as possible… Marika’s wish, so she has no choice but to raise a glass.
“Wait…before that, I have a question for you.”
Then, suddenly, with a solemn expression on her face, she asks me a question…
“I… I have vivid memories of meeting the Old God in an unknown place… The scene where the Old God stole your lips and said you were my husband…”
Suddenly, he brings up a slightly sensitive topic and becomes depressed…
“Harold… Are you sure?”
She asks me the truth, but I have decided to tell a lie now considering Marika’s condition.
“No, I don’t care because I just misunderstood what I saw in the prophecy.”
Calm her down with as natural a tone as possible, then smile again.
“Yeah? Well, that’s good…”
I’m sure I’m smiling, but why do I feel so many emotions inside…
“The words are getting long, let’s share a glass quickly.”
ding!
At Marika’s words, I slightly flick my wine glass against hers.
“Drink all you want, because it’s a good wine.”
“Yes…”
At her suggestion, I put my lips on the wine glass and tilt it slowly.
The aroma of grapes gradually flows into your mouth and the unique sweetness of wine…
Without hesitation, she drank all the wine she poured.
◆◆◆
“Ugh…”
The unpleasant dizziness that greets me as soon as I open my eyes, how did this happen…
Memories that have been cut off at some point, what happened yesterday…
“Ummm…”
?!
However, as if answering this question, the voice of a slender girl coming from the side
“Wait a minute..?”
When I lowered my head slightly, the bare skin caught my eye, and it was a perfect body with no clothes on.
“……”
Slowly… I look around very slowly… I’m honestly so scared that I don’t want to put up with it, but that doesn’t change reality.
“Harold…”
The princess who mumbled my name and fell asleep with a very comfortable face, revealing her inner skin
“…!!”
At that moment, I sensed a certain fact.
“I… want you…”
Even if something goes wrong, something definitely went wrong…
