I escaped with a feeling of shame that made my face feel like it was going to ripen. Thanks to Winter, I quickly regained my peace.

After that, I made up my mind.

‘okay. I’m so embarrassed, how embarrassed are they? However, you have the courage to say it’s good. I also need to gain a little courage.’

-gulp.

‘… I need the courage to face my heart.’

Up until now, I was just pathetically thinking that it would be okay to answer appropriately since this is a game…

From what I’ve experienced so far, at least they were more human-like than me. Not programmed NPCs or anything like that.

Those kids say they muster up the courage to confess, but they should at least listen. cancer.

It was in that context that I confidently shouted after returning to the mansion.

-Flap, flutter, flutter.

“Yo, hero!!”

“Angel!! I was worried… .”

“Today is Lucia! Arthur the next day!! The last day is Elizabeth!! I will receive confessions in order!!”

‘Characteristics of a real man!! Let’s compete 1 to 1!! therefore… Let’s take it all and think about it!!!’

The four are still hesitant at the entrance to the mansion.

​

I confidently declared. He said he would receive confessions from one person a day.

… The fact that the confessions were placed at the back in the order in which they were most likely to be heavy was a secret even to death. It’s obvious that Elizabeth will be very angry.

anyway. Although I made such a bold declaration…

Soon, I realized that I had forgotten the most important thing.

“Huh… ?”

‘Oh, that’s right!! I forgot to explain it to Rinne!! Stop being angry!!!’

What I forgot was to explain the situation to Rinne, who confessed to me yesterday.

From Rinne’s point of view, the girl who confessed yesterday is also going to accept the confessions of other kids…

​

To her who doesn’t know the situation, wouldn’t she think I’m the bad guy in the world? I have nothing to say even when I hear that he is a playboy who manages a fishery.

That’s why I hurriedly threw up my hand.

It was to make things up even if it was belated.

“Of course, I have to ask for Rinne’s understanding first!!! Rinne, how did this happen… .”

“Hehe. What, you all decided to confess in the end?”

“… … Huh?”

However, there was no need for reconciliation.

This is because Rinne, who had expected everything to go on a rampage, instead of getting angry, smiled as if he knew everything.

Even my companions turned their heads awkwardly…

“… No way, Rinne you. Did you know? What did they confess?”

“Hehe. Rather than saying I know, what did I tell you to do? Because they are all precious friends!!”

“… … … ?”

When I asked Rinne if he knew everything, I got an unexpected answer.

After the confession incident yesterday. Linnaeus, who had been scolded by his companions, responded by giving a Solomon-level solution: ‘Then you too must confess.’

I opened my mouth to see if this was true, but…

‘No matter what, this is too… .’

“So, fighting, everyone… !! I won’t lose!”

“… Wow.”

‘Linne, he’s a really big guy. ‘Other kids are saying they’re going to confess to the girl who just confessed yesterday. Are you going to laugh it off?’

At Rinne’s bright smile, only an exclamation came out of my mouth.

If I were in the opposite position, I think I would be pretty ugly jealous. How can you do that?

however… It was true that I was thankful.

“… Yes, thank you for understanding. Of course, there is only Rinne.”

That’s why I expressed my natural gratitude.

It is also accompanied by a greeting that is often used.

… For some reason, it was a bonus that Rinne’s face was much redder than usual.

-Happy.

“Heh, hehe!!? Well, that’s… !!?”

Even the ears and tail stick out, making it feel like there are ten exclamation marks above the head.

It was a sight that made even me feel ashamed…

Still, you can’t neglect expressing gratitude.

I put my hands in front and smiled.

‘I’m really embarrassed too… Still, I guess I should express this gratitude every now and then.’

“I will continue to think about your confession, right? So please wait a moment.”

“… … Hehe. Is that what you mean? Heart falling, giving… .”

Then, Rinne’s cheeks somehow regained their color.

While the animal ears that had risen up sank down as if they were disappointed, the other party members sighed.

-Muttering.

“Hero, even after receiving a confession, something like that comes out without awareness… It’s scary.”

“I knew you were just saying it, but I never thought you would do that to the person you confessed to yesterday… You are truly amazing in many ways, angel.”

“Savior was like that from the beginning. Um.”

‘Why is everyone making such a fuss?’

The three of them muttered something to each other.

I waited until the muttering stopped and then opened my mouth again.

I cooled my cheeks, which were as hot as Rinne’s, by fanning them with my hand.

-Flap flutter.

“Anyway!! Then, I’ll be going on a date with one person a day for 3 days, so let’s get to know each other!!”

“De, de, date. that… .”

“First is Lucia!! I’m embarrassed to be here, so get out of there quickly!!”

“… Phew. Okay, Savior. I will prepare my speech soon.”

Afterwards, I left the mansion on horseback with the first rider, Lucia.

Leaving behind the half-envious and half-nervous looks of others.

It was the opening of the first day of the three-day Confession Defense.

* * * * * *

The place where Lucia, with an appropriate mix of shame and tension, took me was near the forest where I fought the Three Heavenly Kings yesterday.

-Caw… Okay.

‘oh my god. As I live, I hear the sound of crows burping.’

… Near the remains of Katoblepas, there were crows with their bellies hanging around like mountains.

They said it was a crows party or a bee, but I never thought it was a real bee. Was it that delicious?

anyway. I can’t believe I’m moving around and looking back at the traces of yesterday’s battle.

​

Lucia’s unique, blunt voice rang out.

“… Actually, I don’t really feel it yet. That we defeated all the Four Heavenly Kings.”

“Hehe… huh. Me too.”

“This is all thanks to the Savior. I guess it’s only natural that he defeated the 2nd and 1st ranked Four Heavenly Kings almost single-handedly.”

“… Last time, you guys fought well, so I just finished it. That should be taken out.”

“Hehe. You are humble. Anyway, the fact that we even made it to fourth place this time is all thanks to Savior’s cooking.”

With that, Lucia slowly began to look back on the past battle.

A powerful enemy that I thought I would never be able to defeat at first glance. 4th in the list of Four Heavenly Kings. Echidna.

​

But after eating my cooking, my body feels light, like a completely different person. My stamina soared infinitely, and I was able to win in the end.

… Well, increasing all stats by 2 is just as much of a morale buff.

In a game where your ability points increase by 0.1 for every 3 levels, this can be considered cheating.

But ‘It’s all because my cooking skills are fake!’ Because it was a bit serious to say that.

I shook my head lightly.

“It’s thanks to everyone fighting hard. I just helped with my cooking.”

“Now that you say that, I don’t know what to do. Foot.”

Lucia burst out laughing at my public address.

After that, she spoke little by little to me as I flew.

“But… If there wasn’t a savior in the first place, I would probably still be in the forest until now. Receiving the energy of the polluted world tree.”

“… … .”

“Not only me, but all of the remaining elves would have died as well. What would it have been like if… It’s scary to even imagine.”

Then Lucia started talking about a month ago.

The story of the elven forest where I first set foot after leaving Hohenstein, and where I became accustomed to mass feeding.

Memories flashed before my eyes.

“… huh. Honestly, if it weren’t for me, it would have been a big problem. When a large number of people die in a small space, something called a plague spirit is born by eating the energy of death.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yes. The reason I worked so hard to save you was actually to prevent the epidemic that the spirit would spread.”

‘I was really bored back then… No, who drove a seriously injured person like that? Even human sacrifices wouldn’t be worth that much.’

As I looked back on my memories, I said things I had never been able to say back then.

When moral energy is concentrated in a small space, a ‘Spirit Corridor’ similar to but completely different from the Erotic Trap Dungeon appears.

The inside story is that when a spirit comes out from there, the continent suffers from a great disease, so it inevitably heals the elves.

However, Lucia had a calm face even after hearing the inside story.

“There was a reason for that. I didn’t know.”

“Yes. I couldn’t say it because I was in a hurry at the time, so you didn’t have to call me a savior or anything… .”

“No. Savior, you are a savior.”

“… … Huh?”

Rather, it was me who was embarrassed.

Before I knew it, Lucia stopped talking and started staring at me.

“No matter what the reason, it is true that the savior saved our elves.”

“No, but the intention was… .”

“——More than anything, Savior would have helped us even if there was nothing like that. That reason is meaningless.”

“… … Ah.”

And Lucia declared with an unwavering voice.

Even if there was no such reason, I would have helped the elves in the end.

My appearance that day, the dedication that made even the arrogant elves repent. It wasn’t created just for that kind of calculated reason.

So in the end, I would have saved the elves.

“The reason you said in the first place is too heroic to be said to be calculated. After all, the Savior is the Savior. Of us elves, and even of this continent.”

… I don’t know why I’m making this pop up like this. Shame on you.

That’s why I tried to shake my head.

‘It floats too much… It was a natural behavior for a gamer, but it feels a bit odd to be praised like this.’

“I just… .”

“How can you not admire someone like that?”

“… … … Huh?”

———It was canceled because Lucia suddenly made a sudden move.
