“To put it simply, all of those things were the succubus’s scheming, and nothing happened to the two of us. We just encountered something like that while leaving for the next scheduled sparring. So, don’t misunderstand, we never had any shady intentions. The saint doesn’t like me, and the same goes for me. Oh, but you shouldn’t misunderstand that she doesn’t have any sexual feelings. We respect each other very much as individuals… ”
In times like this, what you need to do is to win first and foremost.
I don’t know what kind of bastard he was doing, but it was virtually confirmed that he was anxious to tie me up with the saint.
I don’t know why.
I just know that it is so.
And if that’s the case, of course we should respond properly.
Because it’s actually true.
“Is it real?”
“Of course it’s real. Does it really make sense for a saint and a succubus to fight over a man?”
“That’s right. But why are you so upset? If there’s nothing to kneel on, shouldn’t you be confident?”
“I think I would be embarrassed in that situation. If you don’t get embarrassed, isn’t that proof that it’s fake?”
The majority of people assessed the situation rationally.
And reasonable people think it’s more likely than not that a saint and I got into a cat fight over a man.
I thought it was more likely that the succubus had malicious intent and was plotting against me.
However, if rumors had been easily eradicated, many celebrities on Earth would not have suffered from malicious comments.
No matter how much you explain, there are people who believe what they want to believe.
“But the succubus said this last time. I like it.
It seems true that the succubus has feelings for Abraxas, so wouldn’t it be possible if the saint fell in love with him?”
“If that’s true, why would Yeongsik lie? If you’re a man, you’d dream of being treated by a saint, but you can just tell the truth.”
“Do you know if Abraxas is like you? In the first place… There is also someone’s sphere of influence. Also, you rejected the confession of someone who used to be very pretty.
I guess they just don’t want to create controversy. Before the scandal broke, there were rumors that he was gay.”
Are rumors just suspicions? That said, it is impossible to convince them.
This is because there is no evidence of innocence.
The principle of presumption of innocence was not created for nothing.
There will most likely be evidence for the correct reason.
There is no evidence as to why this is not the case.
Evidence can only be said if it is collected or remembered. There is no way that an innocent person can produce evidence.
‘Tch. I don’t know what the succubus’ purpose was, but the operation was a success. I succeeded in causing trouble.’
If they suppress it, they will say that they are suppressing it because something is holding them back.
If you ignore it, it’s obvious that it’s true and there’s no explanation.
The best thing is total indifference.
If no one is interested in it, it will naturally get swept away by other things and disappear.
‘Still, there is a harvest. That’s a good thing.’
The good news is that this fact helped us learn one thing.
Something to create a scandal between me and the saint.
Organizations that we didn’t even know existed now definitely exist.
‘I don’t know what you want. ‘It doesn’t work out the way you want.’
I don’t know what you want though. If you see something being done secretly, it will never be with good intentions.
Is there a cause?
Is this really necessary?
Even if all that remains is a future in which I am kidnapped and imprisoned by Alice, I can at least act as a false lover with a saint.
“For now, that’s what happened, so please refrain from making speculations. The saint does not fully belong to the empire.”
Although Seonghwangcheong is not a country.
It is treated as a quasi-state, like the Vatican on Earth.
Excluding the emperor, no matter what head of state comes to the Imperial Palace, he or she must be treated as a guest.
Of course, the majority is involved in the empire.
“And think about it with common sense. If we assume that the saint likes me and look at the situation, we will get the answer.
Whether the succubus tempts me or not, from the saintess’s perspective, she has to exorcise the succubus, but they fight like a love triangle. Just kick them out.”
And the key here is this.
The point is that a saint must be at odds with a succubus anyway.
Rather than assuming that they are fighting to take over me.
It’s more plausible that he just tried to fight the succubus and was likely to lose, so he tried to fuck it.
Actually, that is also the truth.
“Yes, but… ”
“That’s right. Regardless of whether the saint likes it or not, it is true that demons must be exorcised.”
“In the end, you were trying to cause trouble for the saint.”
Fortunately, most people passed on this explanation.
This may be because even they thought it was too much of an assumption.
But that wasn’t the end of the evil they did to me.
‘Damn it. Some people will think it’s true. Every time something happens, they will try to tie it to the current incident… !’
There was a rumor going around that Alice and I were dating.
In fact, it was close to speculation.
However, as Alice and I started hanging out more, such comments only increased.
A very appetizing food was placed in front of such people.
Coupling rings are a material that is very chewable for luxury lovers.
There is no way since it has already happened.
Even if it’s not, I’m going to blame the person who is delusional.
Even if there is just a hint of something, it will serve to further solidify the coupling.
Even if they live apart, people will think that they are acting to avoid their secret relationship being discovered.
Moreover, there was no answer.
‘There’s really no way to stop this other than dating and then breaking up… But both paths are too politically risky… !’
If that happens, the saint will become a golden woman.
The only future is for me to become a piece of trash that plays with the hearts of saints and princesses.
There is no need to suffer such losses.
High risk, high return is right, because high risk, no return is meaningless.
The only answer is ignoring.
People who follow this type of thing usually change things very quickly, so you have to expect something else to pop up at the right time.
‘So who should I go to Yeonguk with?’
There are very few people who can go to Yeonguk now.
Theseus is busy getting involved with other kids, so he has to enjoy Lucas.
But Lucas will be of little help.
So, I tried to take a healing saint who had no schedule…
‘Should I use that?’
It was so cumbersome that I didn’t want to use it.
Anyway, I felt like I had to use it if that was the only way.
‘I join the Healing Saint in another part.’
I don’t know if they’ll allow it though.
If she had the personality of a saint, she would allow it unconditionally.
Yeon-guk… Seonghwangcheong failed to stop the runaway when it was in good condition.
Because it was one of the few failures of Seonghwangcheong.
========
“So I have a favor to ask you?”
“Yes. I don’t know what kind of person he is, but there are cases where he is trying to slander us for the same reason. I’m telling you this secretly.”
“What’s going on? If you ask me to watch you get hurt, I will hit you… ”
“It’s not like that. The saint also heard about it and brought it to her so that she could be tempted.”
The saintess pricked up her ears at those words and focused her gaze on me.
They seemed to be extremely focused, as not all of the things I brought were ordinary.
“Yeonguk. The country of alchemists. You know very well what happened in that land, right?”
“There… Seonghwangcheong’s… !”
“That’s right. It is a failed land because even Seonghwangcheong could not find a way.
In the end, the people of that land are in such a terrible state that they just live day after day.”
Even the Holy Emperor who can see the future is not invincible.
Even if I can see the future.
Because there is no way to find a way.
The birth rate continues to fall in Korea. Even if you aren’t a prophet, you can tell that things will fall further.
This is an example where no one can come up with a proper answer.
“ People from this country cannot seek asylum in another country. It may have been in the early days when a disaster occurred in Yeonguk.
It is similar to the fact that those who have survived so far in that land have lived in an environment that is no different from criminals from the perspective of other countries.”
“… ”
Even if Seonghwangcheong exists, this is modern times.
A time when immigration was still almost impossible.
I don’t know if there are countries like the United States or Australia that immigrants went to and founded.
In this world, various lands have long been pioneered by those called adventurers who have the physical ability to fly in the sky in the early evening.
Except for those who excel, no one can immigrate.
Of course, there is almost no concept like illegal stay, so it might be possible somehow.
“Due to the nature of the country, illegal stay is not possible. Because the border is clear, other countries are thoroughly monitoring it.”
Before modern times, borders were very vague.
It would be clearer if there were mountains or rivers. If it was flat land, it was just treated as close to public land.
So, if there are two villages bordering the border. It was difficult to know who was whose citizen.
This is because they often visited each other’s territory.
In such a world, it is the only land with clearly defined borders.
The country of alchemists. Yeon-guk.
“I’m going to head to that land. I need the saint’s help. Because there are a lot of people suffering there.”
“But… I have work to do… I know there are a lot of people suffering in Yeonguk, but… ”
“What if you can get it back?”
“Yes?”
“Love each other, be considerate of each other, and live together. This is what the heavenly gods gave to humans. So, even if you make a mistake, Seonghwangcheong continues to give you opportunities if there is room for it.
However, the fact that Seong Hwang-cheong, who was not the Heavenly God who said those words, was given a chance to make up for his mistake… Isn’t that too much?”
“That’s true, but… The world is not easy… Yeon-guk is already at a point where there is no turning back.”
That is correct.
Yeon-guk is now damaged to the point where recovery is impossible.
“Then what do you think?”
But guess what?
“Making a mistake twice won’t change anything, right?”
If you’re going to fail anyway.
Wouldn’t it be better to do this and then fail?
“If you go there, at least one person will be saved. I have a plan. If everything succeeds, we might be able to save Yeon-guk completely.”
I don’t know either.
I wonder if it can be saved or not.
but.
“There is a saying like this. I had a crush on someone and was worried about whether to confess it or not. Do you know what is better to do in such a case?”
“… What is it?”
“They say it’s better to do it even if it doesn’t work out. You shouldn’t give up, but if you do, you can succeed. Even if you fail, you end up going back to the beginning.
And they say you regret it later. I decided to give it a try then. So would you like to try it? Don’t regret doing something after seeing how things got worse for not doing it.”
I don’t know if it will get better.
But it’s already gotten to the point where it can’t get any worse.
So you must do it.
The saint will allow this.
“Let’s go.”
The healing saint is just younger than she was then.
Because it was definitely the person from WFS that I remembered.
