The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring chapter 110

110 – 106.Earth Mother-4

The atmosphere is awkward.

Marianne sat quietly, her head bowed.

Judging by the fact that even her ears were red, she seemed to know what her face was like without looking at it.

“I have a lot to say, but first of all, I won’t bother mentioning what happened earlier.”

When she said that she would not make a scandal, Marianne bowed her head even deeper.

The flying squirrel that was perched on her shoulder was rubbing her nose with her hand, embarrassingly.

Squirrels were also shy, as if they were showing ugliness.

I don’t know what kind of world I’m living in.

“…… Since the day I broke up with Mr. Vern, my body has been strange.”

“Huh?”

“Every night, Mr. Vern’s face appears in my mind, and I couldn’t sleep properly. Even when you pray to the Earth Mother, do you keep thinking about it?”

“That… ….”

“I know. That I was wrong, so at some point I couldn’t stand it unless I disciplined myself. I asked my precious animal friend to do something violent that I shouldn’t have done, and even in that situation, I was enjoying myself while remembering Mr. Berne…….”

Didn’t the flying squirrel himself enjoy it too?

As she looked out of the corner of her eye at Marianne’s shoulder, the squirrel slid the vine she was holding to her side.

Then she folded her hands and bowed her head, pretending to be belatedly reflecting.

It was a clever flying squirrel.

“So, like a habit, you started to enjoy SM play all the time.”

“Yes. So, I was happy when I was reunited with Mr. Bern, but on the other hand, I felt extreme guilt. It’s because I’ve been doing vulgar things while thinking of Mr. Vern.”

“Is that why you ran away as soon as you saw me?”

“To my shame… ….”

I sighed and shook my head.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand his feelings.

From Marianne’s point of view, it was as if she had clicked while thinking of you.

I might have felt the same way if the AV actress who was in charge of my childhood appeared in front of me.

However, I don’t know how to say it if I’m in the opposite position.

“As you live, you can have hobbies like that. I understand.”

“Really?”

“…… Yes, of course.”

From noble mtl dot com

The words ‘Did you believe that?’ Rose to the top of her throat, then she went back.

Because I couldn’t crush the heart of an innocent girl.

It was not because of the grip that lightly shattered even the log lying next to it.

‘Even though I absorbed some of the Earth Mother’s power, I’m still alive.’

[Rather, thanks to you consuming a lot of unnecessary power, I managed to capture it with my own strength. Don’t you think it’s more scary to stab with an iron sword than to hit with iron ore?]

‘That makes sense.’

It means that Marianne’s power is much stronger than before.

At a cursory glance, I felt that she was incomparable even compared to Rin.

In the beginning, I felt like I was a fragile being that needed to be protected.

If you look at Marianne, who has become stronger in a short period of time

She, like Kang Jun-hyeok, is full of talent.

However, in Ah Dok Choi, there was a setting that Kang Jun-hyeok’s position could be in danger, so he sealed himself.

An unfortunate character who could not even appear because she couldn’t control her own power.

Marianne, who used to be like that, walked the path of her new destiny because of her me.

‘Perhaps the strongest person with a world view comparable to Kang Jun-hyeok in the future might be born.’

[Even though such a deep-rooted sprout became an excited masochist imagining you.]

‘hahahaha… ….’

It’s not like they opened up a new path to their destiny, but rather they ruined their existing destiny and told them to go that way.

I laughed at the dejection, but at the same time felt unfair.

All I did was protect Marianne from the clutches of her magic tower.

I did more than that… ….

[Didn’t she try to suck more of her earth mother goddess power from her at will?]

‘What is that? Isn’t that rather a deduction factor?’

[Could it be interpreted differently? Her man, who had almost died absorbing her power, nevertheless tried to absorb more power for her. It was an act of greed for the contractor, but I could accept it as a bone-breaking sacrifice. If so, it’s good enough.]

Is that how it works?

There was someone else who really should have felt guilty.

I scratched my cheek and looked at Marianne.

She let out a sigh of her relief and was smiling lightly.

Looks like I was worried that I would look at her with her young gaze of her contempt.

In general, there are many men who would like it if a woman did a shady act while imagining a man.

Still, the reason why you were anxious was because the elven society was a world where chastity was reversed, right?

“Thanks to Mr. Bern, my heart has become much better.”

“If that’s the case, I’m glad.”

“What? Are you leaving already?”

“You have an important game tomorrow, right? I just stopped by today to say hello. Let’s postpone the proper conversation until later.”

I must have solved the lump in my heart.

I decided that the purpose of the visit had been achieved, and when I got up, I heard Marianne’s voice.

But I can’t help it. It was too late to release all the regrets of the past.

Since the end of the day has passed, the regrets of today must be postponed until later.

In Marianne’s case, it’s to the extent that she has an important schedule tomorrow.

“Wait a minute!”

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

“That… ….”

Marianne lowered her head with her mouth tightly shut.

The moment she was about to leave, promising the next thing she could say with courage.

Marianne shouted confidently, her eyes flashing.

“Please hit me once!”

“… ….”

A flying squirrel climbed up to my shoulder before I knew it.

In his hand was a long thorny vine.

With her little hand, she casually held out her vine to me, giving her thumb up.

Wouldn’t you also step on this path?

It was as if he was saying that.

She started to get scared of nature.

***

The next afternoon.

In the midst of the enthusiastic crowd, my party and I sat side by side.

After becoming a spectator, this time I became a spectator, and it felt new.

“It’s a lot of heat.”

“Because it’s the finals.”

“When I asked the person in charge, I was told that all seats were sold out. They said that they had never sold out because the popularity of the arena had declined recently, but they said it was an exceptional case like this one.”

“Are you saying it’s a highly anticipated matchup?”

“A fight between Hrund, who is called the master of the spear, and the great newcomer, who is revered as the King of the Trees. As you can see if you look around, there are many talented players who have gathered to gain enlightenment after watching the game.”

“The pressure on the fighters must be great.”

“Wouldn’t it be even more exciting if there were a lot of people watching?”

“Okay.”

Maybe he’s the kind of person who doesn’t care about the eyes of other spectators.

Anyway, I just sit back and watch.

Because I was an ordinary person not too long ago, and I don’t have the discernment to watch and analyze fights.

For me, just looking at the results is enough. Personally, while cheering for Marianne, who is her close friend.

“Ladies and gentlemen! Long wait! The long-awaited big match that everyone has been waiting for finally starts here!”

The presenter, whom I had seen before when I participated, came out and the crowd put firewood in the heat.

The presenter’s cool and exciting voice seems to raise expectations.

“Before we begin, the heart of the 2nd Knights of the Kingdom of Holden, who attended as an inductee today! Lord Daimus has something to say!”

“Alas, it is truly an honor to be able to attend such a gathering of your dear people. I’m not expecting results. I will learn a lesson by focusing on the splendid match between the two fighters.”

“Great words, thank you!”

The figure of a moderate and solemn knight.

Even though he was given the rank of Knight Commander at a young age, his appearance full of humility was a model for knights.

[It’s an article with a promising future.]

‘Because he’s someone who will become Kang Jun-hyeok’s rival after Bern.’

There was even a record of beating Kang Jun-hyeok once.

Due to Kang Jun-hyeok’s defeat, Princess Charlotte’s fiancée was decided to be Daimus, but the engagement was put to rest due to the attack of demons.

In a way, like Bern, he’s a person who has been robbed of his heroine.

To be honest, considering the fact that Princess Charlotte was reborn as a princess, Dymus should have bowed her head to Kang Jun-hyeok and shouted thanks.

‘f*ck, I’m still angry that Princess Charlotte was taken and Pingchang was left to Vern.’

[Contractor, be patient. Still, didn’t you connect the two in this world line?]

‘Whoa… !’

Yes. Because of the artifact I passed on, Kang Jun-hyeok had no choice but to spend the rest of his life with Sherin.

I was even socially buried by Hades a while ago, so my revenge is almost over.

As I calmed down, I focused on the game again.

While I was enraged, players on both sides were preparing to fight.

A pretty young man wielding a spear in a flamboyant way, drawing the admiration of the crowd.

And, despite the young man’s performance, Marianne puts her hands together and prays.

People were already enthusiastic about the fight between the good men and women.

“It looks like both fighters are ready, so let’s start the match!”

Deeng!

As soon as the moderator finished speaking, the gong of the arena resonated magnificently.

The signal announcing the start of a match.

Hrund’s first start was with a quick and neat thrust.

It could be seen as an excellent choice for the first move with a light attack to see the liver.

If it wasn’t for Marianne.

“It’s over.”

“It’s over.”

The same words came out of Rin and I.

At the same time, Marianne grabbed her spear, which was reaching the speed of seconds, and pulled it towards herself.

As a result, Hrund’s body came out.

“Wow?!”

“I will finish it in an instant.”

Marianne quickly approaches Hrund, letting go of her spear on the way.

The moment she clenches her fist.

The muscles hidden in her slender forearms swelled at once.

It started. The moment Marianne’s true power is revealed.

To judge Hrund’s status objectively, she could have a decent fight with Marianne.

However, he made the mistake of looking down on his opponent.

I shouldn’t have started lightly at first, but I should have been sincere.

In a fight between spears and fists, spears are overwhelmingly advantageous.

However, Hrund allowed only one attack.

That blow would be an irreversible fatal wound.

“Smashing Demon Trees… !”

Marianne gently placed her fist on Hrund’s stomach.

“What, what?”

“I was scared because it was fast, but it’s a lesser attack than I thought, right?”

This is the reaction of the general public.

“That, that… !”

“Huh! It is truly ridiculous!”

This was the reaction of people who knew how to fight.

And it didn’t take long for the public’s reaction to change.

Kwaang-!

The moment Marianne removed her fist.

Intense shock waves erupted from Brund’s abdomen, slamming his body into the arena’s inner wall.

The man who was called the master of the spear collapsed on the floor with her eyes peeled off.

A single blow.

Marianne had knocked her opponent down with her blow.

“Mi, crazy! Does this make sense?”

“hahahahaha! I took down Hrund in one hit!”

“King Mok! Mokwang! Mokwang!”

The response was, of course, enthusiastic.

The fight between the masters, which I thought would last for a long time, ended with a single blow.

It seems that the aftermath of that heat was transmitted to the knight commander who was watching the fight.

Dimus came down from the VIP seat in the blink of an eye.

He moved towards Marianne and brought her abruptly to her knees.

“It was a really good fight. It shouldn’t be like this, but I fell in love with the strength of naturalization. Would you please become a member of our knights?”

Unprecedented Scouts of the Knights of the Kingdom.

The crowd cheered even more, and everyone eagerly awaited Marianne’s answer.

However, her answer came out faster than expected.

“I don’t like it.”

“Uh, why would it be okay if I ask why?”

She must have never thought that she would be rejected.

Because being a member of the Knights of the Kingdom was an honor beyond any doubt.

A person who can become a knight of the king, but who would refuse?

However, Marianne is a saint who has inherited the power of the Earth Mother.

For an elf who worships a god greater than the king, there was no way that the kingdom’s knights would be attractive.

With everyone opening their mouths in shock.

It was a time when I was trying to laugh by myself, knowing that fact already.

“So, compared to Mr. Bern, you look so f*cking weak.”

Why does my name appear there?

Even my expression hardened.
