“Don’t you have to get stronger again because you have to get reinforcement stones in the next village?”

“Well, that’s true, but honestly, I don’t think it will become that strong.”

“Why?”

“On the way to the second village, you encountered a monster that you only encountered in the mid to late game. Could it be that that’s what happens when the difficulty level increases?”

Now that I think about it, I could say that I got a little stronger by going back to the royal capital and reorganizing, but I remembered that a stronger monster than that appeared at an early time.

After hearing Kailon’s words and reflecting on the fact that I had not played this game before so I didn’t think it was that important, I groaned.

Could it be that the previous black market opening in the second village had something to do with what was said to be the King’s work?

If it was related, it might also have had something to do with our return from the first village to the capital.

If there really is a connection in that way, what route did I and Kylon take?

It was like a train that departed from the standard first round, and since then behaved as it pleased without any warning, without even seeing anything.

Is this the next station, or is it under a cliff where the rails are cut off?

“… Then what should I do?”

“There’s nothing we can do, but shouldn’t we grit our teeth and get out?”

“But what if it’s too strong? If the enemy is strong, you could die.”

“Well, I don’t want to die in a world like this. What if I die here and this world disappears?”

I thought about it for a while.

As expected, I needed a warrior to get out of here.

That warrior was not a warrior who would save this world, nor was he a warrior who would bring peace, nor was he a warrior who would fall in love with someone.

The warrior who would just send me home, that was Kylon.

However, if he were to die in the middle of this journey, it would not be a big disaster.

So I didn’t want Kylon to die.

So, the thought that all I could do for him, even if he didn’t want it, was all that crossed my mind.

“… If you ever feel like you’re going to die, I’ll save you.”

“You?”

“Yes, I can save people. Even if you can’t save someone who is completely dead, you can definitely save them right before they die.”

In the end, this is the only way.

When someone is on the brink of death, I have the power to grab them and pull them out, so if the only thing that can bring back life through blood, or perhaps my body itself, is that I can definitely keep Kylon from dying. It was there.

Even if I objected to Kylon sinking the blade into my body, if Kylon was going to die, then there would be no power to stop me.

So it was okay if this game became ridiculously difficult.

If the situation arises, all I have to do is become a meat shield and spread my blood around. That way, Kylon won’t die.

Oh, if that happens, the monsters won’t be resurrected, right?

Then it would be difficult.

Anyway, I made a lot of determination.

That’s why I was able to speak confidently to Kailon.

Because this is the only thing I can do, as I am left out and left out in all the fights and cannot participate.

Behind those words was Kailon, who looked like he was going to push me.

No, it may be that he looks worried.

I told him to trust himself at best, but in the meantime, things got too difficult and he might feel sorry for having to lend his hand.

But that didn’t mean I had any intention of hiding behind Kylon’s back again and again and forever.

“You… ”

“It’s okay.”

Ultimately, this is a journey I am taking for myself.

Because I know very well that in the end, it was because of me that lonely Kylon, who was lonely and unable to make true friends, ended up going back even though he said he didn’t want to go back.

“Because I don’t want to be an incompetent person forever.”

“… It’s not that you’re incompetent, it’s just the environment you were given that is the problem.”

“No, in the end, I never thought about leaving the room on my own like you did.”

I really appreciated Kailon’s words.

But in the end, I was just a coward who didn’t leave my room on my own, and Kylon was a hard worker who tried to make friends just in case.

Even with such differences in mind, can it be said to be an environmental problem?

I was just turning my eyes away from the world, believing that the world made up of squares beyond the monitor was everything to me.

Maybe that was why the windows were covered with black tape to prevent anyone from seeing outside. That’s what I thought.

Despite this, Kailon repeatedly denied what I said.

No, you are not incompetent, you are not that kind of guy.

Then he hugged me tightly.

For some reason, I felt like crying. It may have been because it felt like a different touch than before, or because different emotions seemed to seep into it.

I could say that the feeling was really soft because it was not a hug to feel sexual touch, but to comfort me. It felt like this warmth seeped into my heart.

“… You really didn’t do anything wrong. So, I hope it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“… … .”

It was silent.

And, even though it was small, I murmured in his arms.

“Thank you.”

It was fortunate.

Because I didn’t lose my abilities to the extent that my hymen was torn.

I was truly fortunate that I had desperately tried to preserve my strength against Kylon.

Anyway, I wonder what I, a man, would do by protecting a girl, and I also wonder what’s wrong with being hugged as the hero who lets her go home wants, but even so, I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t go to that action, but the fact that I didn’t lose my strength makes me feel better. It made me feel relieved.

Because I still had the power to prevent someone from dying, and I could only use that power towards Kylon.

Even if he is in danger, he may be desperate not to die.

It wasn’t for me to be incompetent forever.

When everyone dies and I’m the only one left, I won’t be the one to foolishly shed tears.

So, I decided to go a little further.

We will not just seek safety in Kylon’s shadow.

“… So, will you listen to me?”

“Yes, I will listen.”

“Really, I can use my abilities when it’s dangerous, right?”

“… huh. Because I need you.”

Kylon spoke warmly to me.

He hugged me tightly and told me that he needed me.

Those words, which I had never heard before, felt so warm, but they felt like I was floating a little, so I couldn’t really feel them, so I thought that I would have to experience that situation to really understand it in order to feel it more deeply.

I never thought you would tell me you needed it.

I thought he would just tell me no right away, but it was so unexpected that I exhaled and said, “Huh.”

“… Really?”

Before, I thought he was just a friend who was passionate about women’s bodies, but after having a deep conversation on a day like today, I felt strange.

It was just a thought that passed through my head, but it also gave me a very strange feeling, as if it was something that Kailon and I only did in an ambiguous situation where we didn’t know each other well.

Just looking at my appearance, I never would have thought that Kylon, who was so busy looking at my body and jerking off, would continue to say kind words to me like this.

It was something that people knew but didn’t know.

“Kylon, your pervert-like appearance has disappeared a bit, right?”

“… What do you mean?”

“He always said he would hit me whenever he saw my face.”

I burst into laughter after breaking the serious mood at a thought that suddenly occurred to me.

Then I almost burst out laughing, and after that, the laughter I was barely trying to suppress burst out.

“Fuha, keut, keut… ”

“Veronica… ?”

No, that’s funny.

To be honest, I wanted to hold back laughter, but the sight of Kylon suddenly passing by, contrasting with the current Kylon, stimulated laughter.

As I was hugging my stomach and laughing, Kailon looked at me with a confused expression.

And after that, all serious atmosphere disappeared and Kylon’s shoulders began to tremble.

“Oh, I’m crying. Before, Kylon, he said he would jerk off just by looking at my body, but now I thought he knew how to say that, and he was like, wow.”

“No, I really did it without thinking at the time, but… After.”

“Did you? Are you thinking about it now?”

“What are you thinking?”

“Do you want to spank her again?”

Well, now that we’ve talked to each other a lot and gotten to know each other better, I thought those feelings might have subsided a little.

But the funny thing was that my opponent was Kailon, and I felt like I was looking down on him too much.

“… I have no intention of hitting you.”

“Thoughts’?”

Kylon’s body approached in an instant.

And then he pushed his body towards me as if he was pushing my upper body, and then he put his face close to my face.

In an instant, his figure became so close that even the light of the campfire was obscured.

“I want to sleep with you.”

“… … .”

I was so startled that I felt like I was going to hiccup.

Earlier, I was horrified and had to ignore it because my wife said something like “Jeongsil,” but now I felt a little embarrassed because I didn’t know that they would attack me in this way.

“… I thought it wouldn’t be like that anymore since we got to know each other a little bit.”

“I’m the opposite, the more I get to know you, the better I like you.”
