A moonlit night. The owl howls. The sound of insects is heard beyond the window.

There, a woman with flowing brown hair opened her eyes. When I opened my eyes, what I saw were brown eyes illuminated by moonlight.

I knew it was night, but I woke up anyway. Unlike during the day, it was not a time when anyone was awake.

They say night is adults’ time, but I knew that it was also a time for some adults.

Linda actually thought she would enjoy the time more.

I’ve never been one to reveal men, but in reality, how many women would hate a strong man like Kylon?

The snow-white hair, blue eyes, tall figure, and handsome appearance first attracted people’s attention.

And furthermore, considering the power and status he possesses, how many people would not be attracted to it?

Even excluding snobbish things, he is a man who seems to have all the charms attached to him.

Even though no one would have said anything if such a tall man just enjoyed sex with women right then and there, he went out.

He carries the holy sword on his back and moves towards the enemy. He moves towards the devil and seeks peace afterwards. Who wouldn’t love him?

It was clear that if he succeeded, the triumphal song would sound, and everyone would sing his stories, dance for him, and spread poetry for him.

Even if he did not succeed, it was clear that his courageous spirit would remain and become a story that would raise other warriors.

So, it was safe to say that he was someone who deserved to be loved.

Therefore, there was no intention to overcome that power from the beginning, and all that remained was myself being led by it.

That’s why they say she can’t be taken away.

It was a feeling and love that he initiated first, but he couldn’t understand why Agnes cut in line or why Flora intervened.

Nevertheless, the reason they tolerated it was because they judged that it was clear that he was a crony.

Because I originally thought that Jeongsil should have a certain amount of peace of mind.

I used to tell myself that even if I was lacking in brains, I shouldn’t be lacking in heart, but now it was different.

Even if I was narrow-minded, I couldn’t help it.

Because right away, a stray cat came in and tried to ruin the ecosystem.

Moreover, a saint came on board the dragon, but can we trust it?

Nevertheless, I take steps.

One by one, they decided to stand up and watch when the time came. They say there must be a reason why Kailon, who couldn’t possibly enjoy a day like today with a group of women, suddenly prepared five private rooms.

When I came out and glanced down the hallway, and as time passed, did Agnes and Flora’s relationship become more serious? Linda was wondering if I was too suspicious of Kylon.

I guess she just didn’t need anything anymore and was really tired, so I should sleep too. When she decided that, Veronica’s room suddenly opened.

Saint? The moment you question it, isn’t Kylon coming out in a hurry?

And the voice of the saint was heard inside.

Doesn’t the voice telling you to go quickly seem quite friendly?

When Kailon came out into the hallway and faced Linda, he made an awkward expression and then greeted Linda.

“Linda… ? Do you want to drink some water at this hour?”

“Ah, yes… ”

Then, Kailon took out a water bottle from his inventory, handed it to her, and went into his room.

Linda, who was left alone in the hallway, clenched the water bottle and gritted her teeth.

Didn’t the saint usually speak softly, respectfully, and with courtesy? But why do you treat Kailon with such an ostentatious voice and tone? You’ve never shown that to me or other kids?

Rather, Kailon said ‘at this time’, so why was he in the saint’s room at that time?

It’s strange. But why do you make such a shy expression? Because it’s natural?

It’s strange. Why does the saintess treat Kailon with a comfortable tone and voice? Were you always like that?

Linda’s head feels hot. It was a sight I encountered for a moment, but everything that happened at that moment was absurd.

“… Ha.”

I’m so shocked that I just burst out laughing.

I tried to laugh at the story, saying it was too radical. I tried to think that anything more than this was meaningless, that the real Kylon was just trying to get some rest for the battle.

However, when I see that what I thought was a leap of faith appears to be the truth, my mind goes blank.

Is that kind of relationship between Kylon and the saint?

That doubt gradually grew into certainty as Agnes added the testimony, and soon it solidified into an undoubted certainty with the last sight.

Year of the thief cat. If I had known that she was a she-cat and not a saint, I would have straightened out her ranking right away, but instead of intentionally getting involved in the battle for rank, she secretly worked behind the scenes and teased Kylon.

No matter how saintly she is, she has morals. She cut in line without following the order. She gritted her teeth, thinking that she couldn’t be considerate of her like this.

No one heard the sound of molars grinding together.

However, it was quiet and widespread.

Get on the carriage and ride back to the next village.

I felt like I was spending money lavishly because I was getting more and more hints about where the devil was.

As I’m already heading to the seventh village, I desperately feel that this story is reaching its end.

I’ve been feeling it since yesterday, but it felt like my heart was pounding.

What can I say, if I catch the devil, will I be able to return home? If I go back, will I really return to my original body? I wondered if that would mean I would wake up in that house again.

If that were the case, I didn’t really want to go back home, but since Kylon said he would go back with me, I thought it was okay, so I thought about it for a while.

Since he told me that story yesterday, I thought it was right to go back if I could.

If Kylon kept his promise, it felt like a better life.

But even then, there was fear. Actually, I went back, but I was wondering what would happen if Kylon changed his mind.

After meeting me, I was afraid of what would happen if he decided to do something that never happened, but I couldn’t bring up that worry and ask Kailon outright.

After thinking about it like that, I also thought that it might be better to stay here with Kailon than to go back.

I don’t know. It was a problem that no matter how much I thought about it, I could not find an answer.

However, in the meantime, if I substitute faith, there is only one answer, so I wondered if I should leave faith out of this problem.

I lowered my eyes as my vision went blank.

It was because of the sharp gaze approaching.

I didn’t know whose gaze it was, but I could tell that they were looking at me in a negative light.

I groaned. It stung me to think that I had done something wrong again, so I decided not to react at all.

I had sex with Kailon in that village the day before yesterday, so how could I straighten my back in the eyes of heroines?

I still had no interest in the heroine’s position, but I couldn’t give up being by Kylon’s side, so I just decided to keep quiet and close my eyes in the rattling carriage.

Another day passes by. And then dinner time came, and it was already the seventh village.

Five single rooms at the inn. And since there was no restaurant at the inn, we went to another restaurant, sat down, and started talking.

The leader of the party, Kailon, was the first to speak on the spot.

“Sleep today, stay here once, and… Next, once in the ninth village, and finally once in the tenth village. Then you can collect all the reinforcement stones. Then, in the end, you will gain the power to kill the Demon King.”

Everyone listened to Kailon’s words.

Even though the atmosphere was full of noisy drinking, Kailon continued speaking without paying attention, and we just listened to his voice attentively.

“Actually, I am really grateful for your help so far, and I believe that you will continue to help me in the future.”

“Kylon… ”

Hearing Kailon’s refreshing story, Agnes faintly called out his name.

Kylon seemed to give Agnes a glance, but then he turned his gaze back to me, glanced at me, and opened his mouth.

“Tomorrow… I don’t know what kind of monster will come out. Still, I hope everyone does their best in their roles… There may come a time when no one can use their power as before. In that case, let no one try to do anything alone. Because I don’t want sacrifices.”

It was as if the voice was sniping at me.

“It seems like the Demon King’s power is getting stronger. So no one should die. Because the stronger you are, the more important each person is.”

Kailon said, lifting the utensils to eat, and I also put the food in front of me in my mouth.

Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal.

However, the cold gaze on me did not disappear, so I lowered my head and pushed down my food.

Because the last time I felt it wasn’t from the gaze of just one or two people.

The three heroines are keeping me in check. That fact was the only thing that bothered me.
