192 – Enlightenment
They were just going to buy things for the journey, but there was a good reason for their agitation.
‘A date alone with Ian… !’
‘Does this mean I can spend time alone without anyone disturbing me?’
‘I can’t believe I can go on an outing with my brother again…’ .’
This is an opportunity to legally be by his side. An unprecedented situation where you can only see one person at that moment.
‘You can’t miss this genius opportunity… !’
‘With this, I can make up for all my past failures.’
‘If I listen to things like this, no matter how greedy I become….”
If you use this well, you may be able to make progress at once. It would also be possible to widen the gap in the competition surrounding him and take an advantageous position.
“….”
“….”
“….”
And because everyone had the same thought, the party members quietly began to burn with enthusiasm.
“Then I guess you and I will go.”
In the meantime, there was someone who committed a false start.
“With the hero…?”
“What is that look on your face? Are you saying you don’t want to go with me?”
When Ian expresses doubt, the warrior immediately puts pressure on him.
“No, that’s not it….”
“Then this is it.”
There was a clear intention to quit the game early before anyone else could do anything.
“We still have time, so we should move separately from here…”
“Wait a minute, why are you deciding that on your own? You don’t have to listen to what other people think, is this?!”
Thalia was not one to just sit there and watch. The warrior’s eyes narrowed as he immediately objected and interrupted him.
“…What do you mean?”
From noble mtl dot com
“What are you talking about? Do you think you’re the only one here?!”
Thalia strongly criticized her actions, saying that this was too unfair.
“I agree with her opinion.”
Even Thalia and her enemy, Rayna, rose up against the hero’s violence.
“I think you may be too hasty.”
She looked at her hero with her arms crossed.
Season No. 2 It was an alliance between Mesugaki and a demon.
“…There’s no reason to leave this troublesome work to you.”
The warrior tried to make his point by giving plausible reasons.
“Hero.”
Even the saint began to intervene in the already chaotic situation.
“We have had some time together, so wouldn’t it be right to put that burden down?”
Not inferior to her good-natured voice, she began to take on the cause of her hero in a quiet voice.
“Polaris, even you…”
A hero who was cornered when all party members opposed him.
‘What is this, why is everyone coming out so harshly? .’
Ian, who was caught in the middle, could not understand their attitude at all.
Why are they making such a fuss when all they want to do is buy something?
He opened his mouth to relieve the unnecessarily heated atmosphere.
“Stop fighting… It’s okay for me, so it’s better to go with someone else…”
“Brother, please stay still.”
“….”
At the firm words that came from the mouth of the normally soft-spoken saint, Ian could not even utter a word and had no choice but to shut her mouth.
***
That’s how their war of nerves began.
“….”
“….”
“….”
“….”
A chilly tension that could almost touch the skin settled down between them.
“I know that because I’m going with him.”
As expected, it was Thalia who broke the silence and spoke. She comes out strong from the start.
“Well, I don’t think that’s right.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Reina started to refute her, and Thalia, frowning at her, glared at her sharply.
“Sweetheart, are you dissatisfied with me now?”
“Rather than a complaint, I’m saying this out of consideration for you.”
“What…?”
Thalia raises questions with a puzzled expression.
Then Reina smiled brightly and continued.
“You seem to have been preoccupied with something these days… Have you finished that work?”
I flinch.
Thalia couldn’t help but get nervous at those words. What she was asking now was about the dispel item confiscated from Ian the other day.
“Well, what does that have to do with this!”
Thalia just looked away and told her to stop talking nonsense.
“It doesn’t matter, why doesn’t it matter? After all, it’s a pain in the ass.”
On the contrary, the result was that the smile on Raina’s lips only deepened.
‘This little bastard…’ !’
The sight made her feverish, but Thalia couldn’t say anything.
Because Raina’s argument was valid.
This is how the incident started.
-It would probably be better to destroy this.
The day the pendant was confiscated from the warrior. The warrior, the saint, and Reina all agreed to destroy the pendant to prevent a recurrence.
-Wait a minute! Give it to me!
However, the existence of a magic tool that blocks magic below a certain level without asking was attractive to Thalia, and since it was too much for her to destroy, she asked for it.
-Then what if it falls into his hands again?
Although the party members expressed concern about the possible situation, she insisted on waiting until the end.
-It’s okay, we can handle it separately.
She was sure she was confident by then. Even so, she says, she is nothing more than a tool, so it won’t work for her.
But reality turned out a little differently than she thought.
-Why doesn’t this work… ?
The performance of the pendant exceeded her expectations.
The magic she uses is largely divided into two types.
With powerful but volatile skills and relatively poor performance but highly durable techniques.
Unlike skills, the level of magic increases by adding strokes, but this is where the pendant’s characteristic of ignoring magic below a certain level becomes an obstacle.
Due to the nature of the spell, if even one stroke of the lower level is disturbed, it immediately loses its function. Since they were all ignored, there was no way it would work even if a high-level spell was added.
After taking the pendant while shouting at the party members, she locked herself in her room to solve this problem and developed her technique to an applicable level, which was still in progress.
“I wonder if you really have time for such leisurely shopping.”
“Profit…!”
Reina shook off Thalia’s silence by shaking her worries and opened her mouth.
“It seems like I’m the only one left like this.”
At that time, confident of her victory, she planned a date course, imagining her sweet future.
“Don’t worry, sister. I’m here.”
Her saintess stopped her with her bright smile.
“…What does that mean?”
Reina looks nervous about the saint’s participation in the war.
“I’m saying I’m going with you.”
The saint also steadfastly put forth her own claims.
Soon, an invisible fight broke out between them.
“I don’t understand. Is there any reason for you to take such troublesome steps?”
“Our Holy Kingdom considers devotion and mercy to be the most important virtues.”
“…Didn’t they teach concessions there?”
“Of course there is that, but wouldn’t you say it’s not a priority?”
There is a reason why religious people are scary.
“Ugh….”
I couldn’t think of anything to say to Raina in front of her, who interpreted the goddess’s will and wielded it according to her taste.
“There are other reasons besides that.”
Cruelly, the saint did not stop there.
“Sister, do you know exactly what to go and buy?”
“Well, that’s…”
A saint who buries Raina, who was only pursuing her intimacy with Ian, without considering her original purpose.
“Look. So wouldn’t it be right for me to go here?”
“….”
The saintess, clearing away her obstruction, kept her smiling face from beginning to end, and looked at her Ian.
“Then, brother.”
-Pook.
She approached him using her strengths as if she would not hesitate any longer.
Hidden behind her innocence, she placed Ian’s arm between her breasts and looked up at him with a bright smile.
“Shall we go?”
A bright smile and bold skinship in contrast.
“…Is that so?”
Seeing the saintly woman’s determination, her Ian had no choice but to pass over her without resistance, like a superconductor that had turned her scientific world upside down.
“hehehe. Then I’ll come back.”
The saintess was so entranced that she tried to lead him somewhere.
“Wait, wait Polaris!”
The hero stopped the two with an urgent voice.
“Huh? What’s going on, warrior?”
“You two… Aren’t too close…?”
She is a warrior who tries to buy time somehow by citing her status.
“Oh, do you mean this?”
The saintess looked down at Ian’s arm, which was stiffened between her breasts.
“Yes, that’s right! As a saint, you shouldn’t do that!”
Thalia, who was nervous after seeing him wield a weapon she did not have, also supported the hero’s argument.
“There are definitely such rules in the Holy Kingdom.”
“So, let’s loosen that arm first…”
“I don’t like it.”
“What…?”
When the negative remark, not that she was sorry but that she didn’t like it, came out of the saintess’s mouth, her party members couldn’t believe their own ears.
“Seo, saint. What are you saying…?”
“I don’t like it.”
A saintess who drives a wedge when Raina asks a question.
“Polaris… Are you angry at us for something…?”
Seeing the saintess for the first time, the warrior asked cautiously.
“That can’t be right. I’m fine.”
“Then why…”
“I now know more clearly who I follow.”
She closed her eyes and continued.
“Even if it is the rule of the Holy Kingdom, in the end, it is nothing more than something created by us sinful people.”
So, the saint said that the rules must also be crude.
“Can it really be said that blindly following it is truly the will of the goddess?”
She was someone who usually praised God, but the way she said that was somehow twisted.
“Look. As proof, the goddess does not blame me.”
-Paaa.
She stretched out her hand toward the sky, gently radiating her divine power, and it stretched high as if it would reach the sky.
“If my thinking was wrong, he would have taken away this power.”
Finally, she lowered her hand and an ecstasy appeared on her face.
“Is this what enlightenment is? I think I’m finally seeing the true meaning of the Goddess.”
The saint was so engrossed in something that it gave the viewer chills and muttered.
“Really, I’ve lost half my life. What’s the point?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Ian as she continued to speak.
