episode_0027

Early in the morning, while everyone else was sleeping, I woke up and opened my eyes blurry.

Day after day, I just spend each day meaninglessly and without any results. Can I stay like this? A feeling of anxiety crossed my mind, but seeing how relaxed Kailon was, I felt like I didn’t have to be so hasty.

To be honest, the only thing that made me anxious was the future of this game, which was never explained.

If you think about it, Kylon can be said to be a worthy warrior because he has cleared this game once, so it is almost safe to say that he is a person who knows the future.

But compared to that, what am I?

Since I haven’t played the game, what I heard from Kailon was just information through text, not understanding through play.

And in the meantime, it was difficult to listen to it because I only knew the general content and it was difficult to convey the details.

You said you’ve only played one game, but if someone comes to you and asks you to write down how to beat this game, how well will you be able to use it?

In the end, I ended up having to rely on Kylon.

I opened my eyes, enjoying the chirping sounds of the morning birds heralding dawn. As always, I shook off my saintly clothes, sat down on the bed, and looked into space.

And it’s a time when a brief feeling of self-destruction comes flooding back.

To be honest, I don’t have any feelings for Kylon, who would jerk off to others, but the problem was that I kept looking for Kylon without realizing it because my body was crying and feeling anxious when he kept moving away or not showing up.

And in the meantime, I also had a problem with feeling reassured just by hearing Kailon moaning in the next room to let me know that he was there.

As I sighed in despair, I heard a knock on the door.

Knock knock.

Startled by the rapid ringing sound, I opened my eyes wide and looked beyond the door. Then, Kylon’s voice was heard beyond the door.

-ruler?

“I’m not sleeping… Just a moment.”

I was trying to speak so loudly that it could be heard outside the door, but I was worried that other people would hear me, so I carefully got up and immediately opened the door.

Because it was easier to clearly choose one side, whether to speak like a saint or to just say nothing.

More than that, I was having a hard time thinking about Kylon, and when he appeared at that time, I thought he might be seeing something like my status window.

Kailon, who carefully entered my room, was dressed comfortably.

And at that moment, Kailon sighed heavily, scratched his head and muttered.

“… Excuse me.”

After saying that, I sat down on the bed.

It was a small private room with no chairs, a table with drawers, and only a bed, so it was natural that there was no place to sit other than the bed, but seeing him come into the room and sit down as if it was his own made my eyebrows flutter.

Without saying anything, I carefully sat down next to him at a distance and looked at his face.

Even though he was ridiculously tall and sat down, he didn’t seem to be much different from me.

Well, when I’m standing there, my face looks different.

“… Why did you come?”

“No, just… There’s something I’m worried about.”

I opened my eyes wide and glanced at Kailon’s reaction, which was a bit far from his usual acting slyness and frequent jokes.

It seemed like he was really worried about something, so I started to feel anxious for no reason.

Well, is there a bad obstacle to your future work? Or is the content a little different from the games you played? Well, I had a falling out with Linda.

Many bad thoughts passed through my head.

What challenges are waiting here right now? Because there is that fear.

“… … .”

But even though I kept my mouth shut and urged him to remain silent, he just kept his mouth shut without saying anything.

As I stared at him, wondering what he wanted to say, he soon broke the old silence and opened his lips.

“… Are you okay? Is there anything itchy today?”

As Kailon said that, he looked around my neck to see if there were any blood stains on my white clothes.

After going out yesterday, I slept while listening to Kylon, so of course there was nothing left in my throat.

“Uh, it’s okay. You don’t have to worry.”

I pushed away Kylon’s hand that was trying to touch my neck, nodded once as if it was okay, and then shrugged my shoulders.

Did you see it? There’s nothing, right? Acting like that, he slowly lowered his embarrassed hand.

“I’ve only played the game once, so there’s a lot of story I’ve missed, and there’s a lot of content I don’t remember because I skipped it a lot to see and play it first… ”

This guy was a skipper.

Well, it was clear that in this crazy game, there would be a few people who put the story aside a little and quickly skipped through it to collect the CG collection first.

However, since you have to clear the quest, it is inevitable that you know this and that.

Anyway, after hearing that story, I nodded my head and listened intently to what he said.

“… Have you ever heard of the saying that you have to repeat it a few times to get to the true ending?”

“Wait… Is this the first time I’ve heard something like that?”

“So, you have to find the conditions or route for each episode and find the true ending at the end. I was only able to clear it once, so I remembered it as soon as I opened my eyes today.”

My head was pounding.

It’s so unexpected. Is it always like this? I had this thought, and I almost wanted to shout out, “What kind of true ending is this in a game?”

When I said that, I felt frustrated because it seemed like it was immediately clear that Kylon, once he cleared it, was not the true ending, but was just heading towards the normal ending.

If that’s the case, shouldn’t we go the route that Kylon knows?

But as Kailon knows, he has already started targeting Linda. How are we going to do this?

Confusion increased. As I became more and more speechless about what to say, Kailon muttered with an expression of not knowing what to do.

“… I’m sorry.”

The apology was so ridiculous that I just let out a sigh of relief.

“Huh, oh, no. I’m not sorry… Does this mean that even if you see the ending, it’s not the ending?”

There is a reason why it is called a true ending. If that were to be the case, saying that it wasn’t the true ending was no different from letting them know that it was just another story, so it just made me break out in a cold sweat.

Rather, it was like I was shouting that I wanted to go home, but the next day I was told that there was actually no such thing.

The eyebrows suddenly narrow. I felt like I was going to be annoyed.

But when he put that aside for a moment and took a deep breath, another word came out of his mouth.

“In the Holy Kingdom, was there a Pope?”

“I don’t know.”

But I couldn’t answer what he said.

She had been taken away after spending several days isolated from society at the nuns’ training center.

“Then is there only the king in the castle now?”

“I don’t know… ”

So I couldn’t answer any questions that followed.

He pondered my reaction for a while, frowned, and then spoke to me as if he had come to a conclusion.

“Oh, let’s get just one Holy Sword Enhancement Stone today and return to the Holy Kingdom tomorrow.”

My eyes widened at his sudden deviation from his path and I stretched out my hand to stop him.

“Tap,” I grabbed his sleeve and led him away, and his stern expression was turned to me.

“Why, why are you doing that all of a sudden? The next destination is not there.”

If you don’t know, you have to go as you don’t know.

However, perhaps my thoughts were always a little different from Kailon’s, and although he did not cause a fuss in the other room, he shouted at me in a voice full of passionate emotions.

“Well, that’s not the problem! … Even though you are a saint, think about why you are trapped there!”

“… What is the reason? Do you know Kylon?”

After a moment of contemplation, and the following question, Kailon took a shaky breath.

“I don’t know. Sorry, I’m a crazy bitch when it comes to fucking.”

What follows is not an answer but an apology.

At that honest apology, saying that he didn’t really read the story and didn’t know much because he was immersed in the story, I just exhaled and said, “Huh.”

In the end, all I could get at this moment was that I was only focused on the way Kylon opened the way to the next route without any problems, and I didn’t read the content properly.

Maybe that’s why I felt like I had just found out that there was a true ending.

After his apology, each other’s mouths were locked, and silence fell in the room.

Amidst my cooling emotions, I let out a groan.

And as if he was surprised by the sound, Kailon shook his shoulders and then opened his mouth and started talking to me.

“… I never saw the Pope during the game. It is clear that the ultimate authority now is the king. That’s why you were trapped.”

Kylon slowly expressed his thoughts.

Although the other children did not know, I was informed that the saint had a story of salvation, and I made inferences one by one based on that fact.

“… Maybe we should find the Pope somehow… ”

“What happens after that?”

“If the king is bad, you just have to testify… ”

“What if the Pope was in the same boat?”

However, because Kailon’s words were so optimistic, I unconsciously started thinking negatively and blocked out his words.

In fact, it wouldn’t be that much of a nuisance if I just denied and said no to the person who expressed an opinion, but even so, I had no choice but to do this.

I think it would be more appropriate to think that the fact that a king could imprison a saint like this was something that continued in the game rather than just an unexpected action.

Of course, even if they did it because the Pope was absent, where can they find the Pope?

If you say you haven’t seen the Pope throughout the game, why not search the Holy Kingdom for clues? What would you do if you blocked it now that the king is the highest authority?

The likability of other heroines had not yet been properly raised, and it was clear that if she did something close to treason on her own, she would be met with resentment.

So, I was the opposite of what Kailon said.

“It’s too dangerous, so let’s just do what we do.”

“No, you don’t have to do it now… !”

“There is no evidence. What you are trying to do now is treason without any basis… ! Then, if the heroines who haven’t yet been properly liked start to feel antipathy and leave, what will you do? Even so, the heroines must do something first… !”

It was clear that the heroines’ likeability would drop and fall off depending on what he did.

No matter how much Kailon is the main character, there are things he can do right now and things he cannot do.

This means that no matter what he does, they are not obedient and follow him around as if he will give them everything.

So despite his nervous voice, I had no choice but to shake my head.

But he keeps pushing me.

All of this is for me.

“You are suffering like this, so please call the king right now… !”

“It was said… ”

That didn’t seem like a pleasant story to me.

Meanwhile, what if this is the path to the true ending? There was also a fear.

How should I react? What choice should I make?

Not knowing that made me feel frustrated.

When I was faced with the despair of not knowing the future and having to move forward, I finally realized.

My life was like this before, so why do I suddenly feel this scary?
