The next day, not morning… but noon.

Yu-eun woke up with a puffy face.

 

 

Having spent the night burning with passion while holding onto Lord Rize, naturally, next to me…

 

 

Mal-kang!

 

 

Larnaar was fast asleep.

 

 

I thought about doing it once in the morning, but soon shook my head and left the room.

It felt like now was the timing to be with Yuna.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I came out to the dining hall, Yuna was being attended to by maids, eating mushroom soup and freshly baked bread.

 

“It’s not even morning, why are you eating something like that?”

 

Yu-eun sat across from her with a leisurely gait.

 

“It’s brunch.”

“Ah.”

 

Shouldn’t you eat something more substantial for brunch?

I thought of saying something like that, befitting a bum, but didn’t say it out loud.

 

Tok.

 

 

Yuna put down her spoon and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

 

“Ah. I could wipe it with my tongue for you.”

“…Don’t say such dirty things.”

“Yuna-ssi isn’t dirty.”

 

I said such things, but Yuna ignored me.

It seems she thinks it’s just nonsense.

 

 

“More than that, I’ve been thinking.”

“About what?”

 

 

Could it be that she’s going to say something like, ‘You really shouldn’t cheat on me’?

 

I watched her lips nervously.

 

 

 

“About how to go back.”

 

 

Thankfully, it wasn’t that.

 

 

“You have a construction skill, right? I think we can use that.”

“Construction… of course. But I can only build within my territory.”

“That was a skill too, right?”

“Yes. It’s called Territory Declaration. I think the cooldown is one year.”

“Hmm… wasn’t there something that reduced the cooldown?”

 

Yu-eun shook her head.

 

 

“That’s a skill or special effect attached to an ‘item’. It has an amazing effect that reduces it by 90%, but unfortunately, it doesn’t apply to my own unique skill.”

“….”

 

 

Tsk. Yuna clicked her tongue.

She must have thought about various methods, as she looks quite disappointed.

 

 

“How much time is left? On the cooldown.”

“Not even 4 months have passed yet.”

“Hah….”

“It’s like a new recruit who just joined the army is still a private.”

“So, that means there are 8 months left….”

 

 

Yuna pondered for a while and then shook her head.

 

 

After all, no matter how much I think about it, declaring territory and building a gate is the safest and fastest way.

 

Even if we research magic, it’s questionable whether there’s magic that can move dimensions, and even if it’s possible, there’s a problem.

 

 

 

First of all, it’s impossible for Yuna and Yu-eun to learn it directly.

 

 

It’s magic that crosses dimensions, so it can’t be simple, and to learn it, we’d probably have to dedicate almost a lifetime.

 

 

 

 

Then, what about getting help from someone who has already learned it?

 

 

This is also a problem.

 

 

To mobilize that level of high-level magic, a huge amount of funds would be required, as well as a tremendous amount of manpower. Considering the era of this world, it’s likely that the country possesses that much power, and in that case, it would be difficult to get help through ordinary means.

 

 

 

 

So, the most realistic way is to declare territory and build a trade center (otherworld gate) to return to Earth.

Even that will take at least 8 months due to the cooldown.

 

 

“Haa… I wish they would… find us first….”

“Hmm… I wish they would, but it’s practically impossible.”

“…Aren’t you being too nonchalant? Your sister would be crying her eyes out if she saw you.”

“Nonchalant? I’m also very heartbroken. If Yuna-ssi wasn’t here, I’d be crying right now.”

“Liar.”

 

 

You were having sex with another woman yesterday.

 

 

She muttered and changed the subject.

 

 

“Anyway, in order for us to go back, we need to be able to move national-level resources. Whether we research magic or build a trade center.”

“Hmm. Well, even when I was over there, it cost trillions to build just one building, so I guess so. I wonder how much it would be here.”

 

While Yuna and Yu-eun were in despair, Lord Rize appeared, looking quite neat.

 

 

She wore a thin cloak over light armor, her face flushed and her eyes burning.

 

She flinched at Yuna’s sullen face, but soon approached with quick steps and sat in the seat of honor.

 

 

“Hmm… hmm hmm… Good a… no, good day.”

 

She lowered her eyes and stammered.

I came, but I’m embarrassed for no reason.

 

 

‘Oh, what do I do… I can’t speak! I don’t know what to say!!’

 

 

Last night was a day to be recorded in history as the first time I had a relationship with a man.

 

That heat and pleasure.

I’ll probably never forget it.

 

 

There was an unfortunate incident where Lloyd broke in, but it had already become an insignificant matter and I didn’t remember it well.

 

 

 

 

“Hello.”

 

Yu-eun responded lightly, and Yuna nodded.

As an awkward silence lingered, Yu-eun opened her mouth.

 

 

“You need to build a country.”

“…Pardon?”

 

 

 

 

 

+++

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bu-seuseu.

 

 

A line of sight that appears straight.

In the midst of all black, only that line was letting in white light.

 

 

Soon, the field of vision opens.

What appeared as a line changed its appearance as if it were the moon, and finally pushed out the pitch-black darkness and filled the world with sight.

 

 

“Where is this….”

 

 

Dry lips.

Words don’t come out well.

 

Hwa-kkeun!

 

 

Then, pain rushes in from the limbs.

 

 

 

“!!”

 

 

Yes.

This pain is the trace of last night’s defeat.

It’s the wound inflicted by that scoundrel’s wife.

 

“Why did I… with that woman…?”

 

 

Is it because of the great shock?

Part of my memory is gone.

 

 

To be exact, I couldn’t remember.

 

 

But that was only for a moment.

 

Slowly reviewing, I recall the battle with Yuna, the conversation before that, and the actions before that….

 

 

“Uwaaaaaaack!!!!”

 

 

Finally, I remembered ‘that scene’.

 

 

That scene where Larnaar and Yu-eun were intertwined and shaking their waists in a room filled with lewd energy.

 

 

“You bastards!!”

 

 

I jumped up as if thrown.

And ran.

 

 

No, I tried to run.

 

 

“Keu-ack!”

 

 

I used magic and potions to heal, but I still wasn’t in perfect condition, so I lost my balance and fell.

 

At that unsightly appearance, tears welled up, and my heart began to be dominated by depression.

 

 

“Keuek…!”

 

Yes.

I can’t win anyway.

It was the same yesterday.

I couldn’t even beat that bastard, let alone his wife.

I was brutally butchered in just one move.

 

 

I was lucky enough to be spared, but if she had been a little more ruthless, I would have already been dead.

 

 

“Larnaar… Larnaar…! Larnaar!!!”

 

 

I cried out loud.

There’s nothing I can do but cry.

 

What am I going to do if I rush in?

What am I going to do if I attack?

I can’t even win.

 

 

That sense of defeat and depression consumed and dominated me.

 

 

 

At that time,

 

 

 

 

Ttok, ttok, ttok.

 

 

 

-Captain, are you awake? I’m coming in.

 

 

A voice coming from outside.

The door clicked open and a woman came in.

 

 

In her hand was a tightly wrung towel.

 

 

“…Were you crying?”

“……”

 

 

Embarrassed to be seen by a subordinate, I wiped my eyes and turned my head.

She came closer and knelt on one knee in front of Lloyd, meeting his gaze.

 

 

“You shouldn’t move.”

 

She supported Lloyd’s body and put him back on the bed.

Is it because of times like these, I was moved by her kindness for no reason.

 

“…Siesta.”

“Yes, Captain.”

“How much time has passed… since I collapsed?”

“Half a day has passed. You were seriously injured, but you’re within the healing range of the potion, so don’t worry.”

 

 

She carefully wiped away the cold sweat that had formed on Lloyd’s body.

 

Lloyd, feeling sorry for his superior who should be a role model but was only causing trouble, asked quietly.

 

 

“Did you hear… why I became like this?”

“I didn’t hear the details. I just heard that there was an accident during training….”

“I see.”

 

 

It seems that the woman named Yuna said that.

 

‘So, she was watching by my side until Siesta came.’

 

 

I can’t understand what she’s thinking at all.

 

Lloyd is the Knight Commander of the Rize Barony.

And Yuna is the wife of a criminal who violated the Lord, and the person who harmed the Knight Commander.

 

How could she commit such heinous crimes and just leave an important witness alive?

 

 

‘What’s her game?’

 

 

He frowned at the incomprehensible situation.

How did she take it, Siesta got up.

 

 

“Captain, please rest well today. You’ll be able to move normally from tomorrow, so don’t overdo it.”

 

She bowed and left the room.

Lloyd stared blankly at her back.

 

 

 

 

 

+++

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dal-kak.

 

 

“Hoo….”

 

 

Siesta, who left the room, sighed.

 

 

Yesterday, when I ran to the place after receiving Yuna’s call, Lloyd was lying there covered in blood.

 

I asked what happened, but she just kept repeating, ‘He was injured during training.’

 

 

Of course, Siesta isn’t stupid enough to believe those words as they are.

Something is definitely going on.

 

 

“I just let it go yesterday, but I need to know today.”

Lloyd is the best fighter in the Rize Barony.

Siesta is also at the level of Sword Master like him, but the difference in skill is like heaven and earth.

 

Such a Lloyd was defeated in a miserable state.

Of course, I can’t just let it go.

 

 

“First, let’s tell the Young Lady.”
