Chapter 168

The Heroine of the 1st Playthrough Remembers My Training.

Episode 168: You Said You Would Do Anything…? (1).

“…How many chances do I need to make the right choice?”

“How many times… how many times… how many times… even if I repeat it.”

“I still only make the wrong choices.”

“Sorry…”

A strange… no, a familiar ceiling.

I pressed my temples to calm the throbbing headache.

“Here is…”

I knew it was the infirmary, but I didn’t remember at all how I got here.

I definitely went down to the basement to find the host of ‘Resurrected Fallen’, and then…

While trying to recall from the beginning step by step.

Suddenly, a scene flashed through my mind.

“Bianca!”

Chak—

As I rose from the bed and pulled back the curtain, there lay Bianca, her eyes closed as if she were dead.

“…Bian…ca.”

I was scared.

I was so scared I could barely breathe.

…Still, I had to check.

With trembling hands, I carefully lifted Bianca’s shirt.

“Haah…”

Bianca’s smooth, unblemished stomach was revealed.

“…Thank goodness….”

My legs gave out, and I slumped down to the floor.

“Thank goodness… really… really…”

Even though she’s right in front of me, it felt unreal, and as I gently stroked her stomach, I heard a cute snore from somewhere.

“Kuuul….”

Following the sound, I looked at the bed next to me to see Lilith drooling in her sleep.

“…Saint…”

“Hmm… Hmm… Two… pieces… too…”

I wiped the drool from her hand, and Lilith smacked her lips, mumbling in her sleep.

Seeing her foolish look, the image of the Saint I saw in the underground plaza seemed like a lie.

‘…I never once thought of abandoning a young lamb in need just to save my own life.’

I bowed deeply towards the sleeping Lilith.

If Lilith had hesitated for even a moment to risk her life, Bianca would never have survived.

Returning to my bed to let Bianca and Lilith rest comfortably, I looked at my right palm.

‘…The sensation in my right hand is subtly different from usual.’

Having confirmed the most important thing, the life and death of the two, it was now time to check my own condition.

Having survived a near-death experience, I had grown rapidly.

‘An increase of 10 in all stats…’

Now, with all my stats starting with ‘3’, I could aim for the top ranks in Class 1.

However, one thing…

「It is subdued by the seed of the World Tree.」

This was purely due to good luck.

Given how dire the situation was despite the good luck, in this case, it should be called ‘good bad luck.’

‘Could the seed of the World Tree have such an effect…’

I couldn’t imagine that just a seed would overcome ‘Crawling Fear’ unless the World Tree had grown to a giant tree.

Perhaps, ‘Crawling Fear’ used its power to keep me alive, leading to this hierarchy.

Conversely, if ‘Crawling Fear’ had just a bit more power left…

I could have been completely devoured by ‘Crawling Fear’.

‘…But what happened to the Resurrected Fallen?’

Creak—

Just as I was about to step into the shadow to check due to the following question, the door to the infirmary opened.

“Yu…jin…?”

Iris, whose eyes were swollen and hair disheveled, looked completely unlike her usual self.

Was it because I had lost my taste that even this look seemed cute to me?

“…Iris.”

When I called her name, tears welled up in Iris’s large eyes, and she ran over to me, burrowing into my arms.

“Huh…hic…hic…uh…”

She seemed to be trying to say something, but her sobs were too loud for me to understand anything; I just stroked her head.

After a while, when she seemed to calm down a bit, Iris blew her nose and glared at me.

“…I…I’m angry… Do you know how shocked I was!!”

“I’m sorry.”

“Sorry solves everything? Were you planning to make me a widow before we even got married?”

“Before marriage, you wouldn’t be a widow…”

Thud—

Iris’s fist jabbed into me quite sharply.

“…Is that what’s important now?”

“I’m sorry.”

“…It’s fine. Since it’s Yujin, you’ll say something ridiculous like it was for everyone else again. But for me, you’re more important than everyone else…”

Iris bit her lip slightly.

“…Iris.”

“Hmph, fine. But, Yujin, I have something to tell you about the Saint and Bianca.”

“Is it dangerous?”

“N…no… The treatment is completely done.”

As Yujin’s face got closer, Iris put her hand on her beating heart and said:

‘…What is this really?’

Seeing him so concerned about another woman in front of her should make her angry, but his serious profile made her heart beat fiercely.

“Then… why… no, wait, how did you know Lilith is the Saint?”

“…I’m a graduate of the Parthenon, too. I know what a Saint’s robe looks like. …And that hair color isn’t common, is it?”

Although she didn’t know the exact appearance of the Saint, she had heard about her stunning beauty and deep pink hair.

“…Anyway, that’s not the point.”

Iris, who had cleared her throat, looked at me with narrowed eyes.

“Yujin, just how many women are there?”

“…”

Iris’s sudden question left me speechless.

“…What do you mean by that…”

“Literally. To be more precise, how many women have you had physical relations with, including the three here?”

“….”

Strangely, the women around me seemed most terrifying when they were smiling.

That was true even now.

Iris’s face was smiling as kindly as could be, but the pressure she exerted was no less than that of a high-level magical beast.

“Do I really have to say it?”

“Yes, you do.”

Under Iris’s interrogation, I thought of her, Bianca, and Lilith.

Strictly speaking, I had only received oral from Lilith, not had a relationship, but it seemed like a done deal with the Nurse Mother, so I included her.

‘…Since we’re going to eventually…’

Thinking about Lilith brought back memories from the underground plaza.

Included in those memories was the promise I made to Lilith.

‘I will do anything…’

I glanced at the peacefully sleeping Lilith and swallowed hard.

Considering she risked her life to save Bianca, I could do anything…

‘What kind of thing…’

I was scared of what this lewd Saint might do.

Letting out a short sigh, I held up three fingers.

“…Three… well, that…that can happen…wait, there are only three people here?”

I added two more fingers thinking of Lucia and Vivian.

“…Five…yes…Yujin, you’re…a high noble…so…for the sake of heirs…”

Then I raised my left hand to add Emma, Melpissa, and Tristia.

“…Eight…even if you…rotate one a day…it’s over…a week…?”

Now, Iris just stared at me with her mouth open as if she had no words left.

Seeing her like that, I touched my nose bridge.

‘…I left out Garcia and Reika for now…’

…No matter what, it was hard to mention that.
