Swollen eyes. I heard that they would leave after breakfast, but because I didn’t sleep well, I was helplessly tearing off the bread and putting it in my mouth and doing a weak mastication exercise.

Since I had no taste buds, no matter what I ate, I had no strength, and since I was just consuming nutrients mechanically, I could only move my jaw without feeling any emotion.

In contrast, Linda, whose skin had become soft and smooth, took the seat next to Kailon happily and cut a large piece of steak from the morning and put a handful into her mouth.

Basically, since they are a man and a woman with good physical strength, does it mean that they are not that tired from sleeping late while having sex?

It wasn’t a fact I really wanted to know, so I just ignored the question that was passing by and put the soup in my mouth.

As I repeatedly slurped and stuffed the soup into my mouth, breakfast time was over before I knew it, and after praying after the meal as I had learned, I got up.

As I was about to raise my body, which was heavy from fatigue, and take a step back to the Holy Kingdom, Kailon suddenly came up to me and handed me something, which I unconsciously accepted.

The cold bottle was something I had received during meals before.

“Please eat.”

Nutrient tonic. I don’t know if it was because I had dark circles in my eyes, or if he noticed that my haggard eyes made me look tired right away, but whenever I felt a little tired, he immediately gave me a nourishing tonic.

I took it in a daze, sighed, and muttered in a low voice that only Kailon could hear.

“Kylon. Next time we have sex, please leave me alone.”

There was no need to say it back. For no reason, I will be alone here from now on. I felt like if I tried to say something like that, my words would be dismissed with only a misunderstanding.

To put it bluntly, Kylon caught it. His eyes widened in shock and his mouth fell silent. And as if he was slowly beginning to accept that fact, he soon sighed and slumped his shoulders.

“Ha, were you awake?”

“No, I’m tired because I woke up because of you.”

After speaking in a whisper, Kailon made an apologetic expression and looked around.

For a moment, Kailon looked at Agnes, Linda, and Flora walking far away, and realizing that they were out of earshot, he moved his mouth as if he was trying to explain something to me.

“I’m sorry, I originally tried to hold back because you were there too… Linda kept touching my dick and seducing me… No, it’s my fault for not being able to control myself.”

“No, it’s okay. I thought you were trying to increase my favorability by using me again.”

“… … .”

For some reason, I forgave and moved on too easily, so Kylon just looked at me with narrowed eyebrows, as if that was even more bothersome.

When there was a moment of silence and only the sound of slurping could be heard, I smiled bitterly and told him clearly.

“I’m really fine. Quickly attack Linda, and attack Agnes quickly as well.”

And I didn’t forget to urge the next time.

Then, Kylon pouted and smiled bitterly.

“Ah, okay. Then I’ll go.”

“Yes.”

After saying that, Kailon walked quickly and started talking with the heroines who were moving forward.

Little things like that can become a point of accumulating favorability.

As I followed them from behind at a distance, they seemed very happy to see them.

Perhaps, if I had played this game, I might have had a little more fun. Or would I have lived a more painful life?

I didn’t know much about it, but I thought I was just envious of the warrior’s life.

Even if my body changed to that of a woman, and even if I was not in the position to attack them, Linda, Agnes, and even Flora, although their personalities and appearances were different, could be said to be worthy of being called beauties.

It could be said that the charm of Linda, who has a lively and boyish personality, the charm of Agnes, who is beautiful and gives off a mature vibe, and the charm of Flora, who is cute but angry, are enough to be loved by someone.

But seeing Kailon surrounded by such women, talking happily and exchanging smiles, I couldn’t help but feel envious.

I was really jealous every time I saw this kind of scenery.

But you shouldn’t just be immersed in those thoughts.

I came to my senses again and looked at my body.

I wore the stockings and garter belt that I received back from Kailon properly, but I did not get my bag back.

The knife was returned to the innkeeper, and the potion also ended up in Kylon’s hands.

My bag was taken from me in the first place, but I couldn’t carry the potions one by one, so there was no point in keeping the potions from the moment I didn’t get my bag back.

What should I do next?

No one could argue with my need right now, at this moment, but it was obvious that someday, in the fight, I would be shown to be useless.

You can make potions. It is me who shares. Then you might think there might be a need.

However, I could make the potion, but if it was Kylon who was distributing it, it was clear that I would be wondering if there was a need to put me on the wire.

And at this moment, in this situation where the blade was taken away and making the potion was blocked, she became an incompetent saint because she could no longer provide healing medicine for the injured.

Because blood cannot be shed, nothing can be achieved through prayer.

How on earth can I keep this position?

It would be perfect if I could get permission to just follow along without having to be there.

I just had to use my head to overcome this moment.

“By the way, Kylon, can I ask you again why you are returning to the Holy Kingdom?”

At lunchtime, Linda, who was eating the stew that Kailon had made, tilted her head and asked as if she had a question.

Then everyone’s eyes turned to Kailon, as if they agreed with the question.

Then, Kailon, who was holding a bowl and gulping down the stew as if drinking, opened his mouth only after swallowing everything that was in his mouth.

“… I have something to check for a moment.”

Kylon simply informed me of the situation, but did not answer in detail.

However, because the answer was the answer, Linda could not ask any more questions, and looked at Kailon with narrowed eyebrows, humming.

He also seemed to be unsatisfied with this answer.

However, Agnes’ experienced mouth was demanding a detailed answer to Kylon’s words.

“Really? In that case, I can use my family’s power to help.”

A trustworthy, soft yet strong voice came out.

Should I say that she is the second most liked heroine? There was nothing more reassuring than saying that I would borrow the power of my family for Kylon.

No matter how much Kailon is a hero, there is no change in the fact that he is a stranger from another world, so it was a good thing because it would give strength to a completely unreliable hero and tell the nation that this person can be trusted.

However, rather than being happy upon hearing those words, Kylon just made a perplexed expression.

“It’s okay, I’m sorry if I bothered you for no reason. It’s really okay because you just have to look at it.”

Kylon politely declined without making it awkward or making Agnes uncomfortable, and then continued speaking.

“I think it would be a good idea for anyone who has something to take care of from Seongguk to reorganize and come back.”

“… Then, I’ll get the grimoire from the magic tower. I don’t like the idea of putting such a crude book in my grimoire bag.”

It seemed like she was saying this to change the topic, but Flora nodded at Kylon’s words and patted the grimoire bag she was carrying on her back.

Rather, does it mean that the magic I am using now comes from a crude book?

It already seems strong enough, so what on earth awaits in the future by bringing an even stronger book?

No matter how small and weak Flora seemed, she was proving to be strong due to her position as a wizard.

So, compared to me, who was incompetent, it was a huge difference.

I sat in the corner watching it, sipping my stew absentmindedly.

It was a stew that definitely looked spicy, but since it didn’t even taste spicy, it was no different from a thick soup with a bland taste.

I gulped, cleared my throat, and glanced at Kylon, who smiled at Flora and nodded.

“Then, after I finish my business, shall I go to the Magic Tower?”

“A hero who is poor at magic cannot enter the Magic Tower?”

“I already went in?”

Flora continued to talk sarcastically in response to Kylon’s words, but Kylon responded indifferently.

Then what? What about Flora, who looks perplexed? He looked at Kailon with an expression like this.

Then, Kailon shrugged his shoulders and responded to that expression.

“They let me in because I’m a hero?”

“Oh, no… it’s okay! You don’t have to come. Because I’m going.”

It seemed like the magic tower was something that the wizard’s pride depended on.

It seems that he was trying to realize his position by knowing that no hero could enter where he entered, but as he was unable to do so, Flora’s expression of dissatisfaction subtly appeared.

As for the Mesugaki concept, perhaps it’s because her likability rating hasn’t increased yet, but she seems to be in an obnoxious position, and she’s showing some foolishness, making her feel sad.

It’s small, so even if it’s just cute or appealing, it’ll be cheap to the hero.

It’s easier to aim for the ending if it comes out comfortably in the first place.

I had to solve the immediate problem, but it wasn’t good to think too much about the future.

So, I shook my head from side to side to shake off the thoughts and changed my mind again.

Well, Kailon would know better how to beat the heroine, so I was just wondering what route I should take when I return to the Holy Kingdom this time.

As long as Kylon doesn’t do anything close to treason, the heroines won’t turn their backs on him this time, so all we have to do is stop him.

If something were to go wrong with Kylon, I would have no choice but to sacrifice myself by asking him to save me right before the ending.

After thinking about that, I felt like my throat was itching.

They say it’s foolish to worry too much.
