“It was taken away…”

Despair is creeping into my body. It wasn’t like this when I confronted the Demon King or when I fought a life-threatening battle against an army of monsters.

I was an ordinary high school student in the present world. I skipped the breakfast prepared by my mother, went to school, endured boring classes, and spent my free time reading light novels or playing the game console I bought with my allowance. I was tall, but that was all. I was an ordinary high school student with no special features or abilities.

Then one day, I found a kitten playing on the street and decided that it was dangerous so I tried to save it. However, a huge truck hit me as I picked up the kitten, and I quickly threw the cat to the side to save it. It must have hurt, but I believed that it would be better than me.

And then a huge light poured down on me.

“Welcome, warrior.”

When I came to, I was in a completely unfamiliar place. From the clothes to the appearance, everything looked like Westerners. What is this? Is this a hospital? This is my first time seeing a hospital like this? To me who was wondering, an old man in fancy clothes loudly declared.

“The Kingdom of Alcrea hereby announces that it has succeeded in summoning the warrior!”

What? Summoning a hero? That thing that often appears in other-worldly stories? A man in strange attire came out to me, who was blankly staring, and started explaining something. Strangely enough, I could understand everything he said, even though it was clearly a foreign language.

Then, suddenly, a memory came to me. Before I was hit by the truck, I remembered the image of a woman, or rather, a goddess, that I had met in my dream.

‘Congratulations. Today, you have been summoned as a hero in another world. If you achieve your goal, I will give you a choice. There are two ways to go: return, or stay.’

Yes. It just came to me as if it was meant for this moment. Everything fell into place. The dream. The truck. The summoning of the warrior. So I…

They cheered.

“Another world summoning has arrived!!!”

This is the best news ever. No, it’s not something you can just call good news. A different world? A hero! That means I have great power, and I can defeat bad guys and do whatever I want. Then, something came to mind and I said it out loud.

“Status Open”

Age: 16

Origin: A world beyond the continent

Gender: Male

Occupation: Warrior

LV: 11 (Main level 1+10 (Warrior job correction))

Strength: 74 (55(Base)+19(Warrior Job Adjustment))

Agility: 64 (48(base)+16(warrior job adjustment))

Endurance: 84 (58(base)+26(warrior job adjustment))

Stamina: 60

Intelligence: 27

Magic Power (All attributes): 100 (78 (base) + 24 (warrior job correction))

Charisma: 77

However, a status screen like the one you see in a game appeared before my eyes. When I told this to the priest next to me (I just found out), he was startled and said that he had never seen anyone this high among the new warriors. Yay! Thanks for the cheat, God! It was clear. Strength, agility, endurance, stamina, intelligence, magic power, and even charisma! There was even a warrior job correction on the side that said stats had been corrected! Yay! Let’s go, warrior harem is the best!!!!

Oh, oh? But I think my IQ is a bit low. Only 27? I was a little disappointed, but the priest next to me said, ‘Status increases as you level up.’ Good! And the priest warned me that this kind of status cannot be confirmed unless you are an extremely high-ranking priest, and that the warrior’s power is extremely rare. See, I was a chosen man after all. Get out of this unfortunate reality!

After that, everything went smoothly. A luxurious room without any electronic devices, a meal better than I expected from a palace, and even high-end equipment that warriors of the past used. Everything was going smoothly, but there was something else that I liked the most.

“Hello, warrior. My name is Silvia de Orsanthe. I am a person who knows how to use a bow and would like to join you.”

The beauty who knows how to use an archery is the best!

“Hello. Yong, Yongsa…I, I, I am Puer de Marcial…I, I am not good enough, but I know how to use magic…Fire, ice, electricity, wind, earth…I only have five attributes, but…I will, I will do my best.”

The shy magic-using pretty girl is the best!!

“Hello, warrior! I am the adventurer Kalid! I am the best in the kingdom when it comes to wielding a spear! I will fight alongside you.”

Oh, yes. Sir… the best…

But, all of those people aside, there was one person who completely made my eyes roll back. There was one person who completely made me lose my soul.

“I hope you are well, warrior. I am embarrassed to say this, but I am Milicia Airgrants, who has taken on the role of a saint today. Please take care of me.”

Wow, damn, damn… This is crazy. Seriously crazy. I’ve never seen such a beauty before.

In reality, I thought I was used to judging beauties by seeing many illustrations of pretty girls and beauties in animations, movies, and comics, but she had a beauty that could chew up all of that and still have more left. Silver hair reminiscent of silk, green eyes. She was a little tall, but her body proportions were fantastic enough to make that not matter… If someone like this appeared in real life, if they went to a beauty pageant around the world, the judges would shout “10 points, 10 points!” and unconditionally give her the grand prize.

What? There are elves in this world, but they’re not saints? That’s ridiculous! So are you saying that elves are prettier than that person? That can’t be true. Honestly, even if you say that the saint, or Milishia-chan, is a goddess, she looks like you’d believe it!

When I heard the story, it seems that this Saint Militia-chan has only been staying at the church all this time. For today, she has been training and preparing with all her heart at the church. That means, she is the only true heroine who has not been seen by anyone in order to join the group of warriors? Ahhh!

Yes, as the representative of the five-person warrior party, I fought hard. Well, it was also because I wanted to defeat the Demon King and gain peace. But the most important thing, more important than anything else, was this. This is what only I, who can call up the status window, can see!

Militia Air Grants -> Warrior

Favorability: Average (35)

Strategy Difficulty: Very High

Wow, thank you again, God! This status window surprisingly shows the other person’s favorability rating and the difficulty of winning their heart. I was used to this, having been engrossed in pretty girl games, manga, anime, and novels. Especially since I’ve read a lot of pretty girl games, favorability ratings are just a piece of cake for me! But Milishia-chan is hard. Come to think of it, you said you only grew up in church and didn’t know much about the world? And you’re also very religious. Ah, that’s why. If such an innocent girl falls for me… Hehehe…

Luckily, God didn’t just let me go. Among the stats, Charisma actually affected my appearance! In reality, I was a tall nerd, but in this other world, my Charisma was a whopping 77! It’s said that people who aren’t in high positions like kings or government posts have their appearances adjusted. When I actually looked in the mirror, there was a tall and handsome man who didn’t even remember me in real life. Cheat is the best!!

So, I started building up favorability with my comrades who fought together slowly. The easiest one was the old man who used a spear (I forgot his name). We became close friends right away after fighting the demons together and sharing drinks (in this world, you are considered an adult after 16 years old). Next was the woman who used an archery, Sylvia. She is said to be good with an archery because she is the daughter of a family that interacted a lot with elves in the past. I gently persuaded her to go play in the elf forest with me, and she fell for it. Oh yeah! Next was Puer. Puer was easier than I thought. She fell for it right away because I didn’t hold back on praising her magic.

So we took down two of them and tried to attack Milishia-chan, but the environment didn’t cooperate. Tsk. All kinds of crises befell our party. Oh, really, the events are so tacky. At times like this, you should, huh? Read the atmosphere! Is it because the difficulty of the attack is very high? However, crises sometimes turn into opportunities. By chance, we saved an elf princess and fought together with the warriors. She was beautiful because she was an elf, but Milishia-chan, who made even the elf princess feel intimidated…

But that wasn’t all. When I saved an Ain girl who had been reduced to slavery in the Northern Kingdom, she followed me around (Long live the legal pretty girl!), and even the second princess of the kingdom I was summoned to was kidnapped (She’s also a pretty girl, the best!), so I ran hard to save her, and she followed me because she knew how to use magic?

Woohahaha, as expected of a hero, it’s possible to become a harem master! Long live the other world! Long live! The saintess seemed to have a slightly strange expression on her face when she saw that… but maybe it’s because she’s in a certain mood?

Anyway, after increasing my harem and slicing down the demons, when I came to my senses, everything was over. We hugged each other (I was the one who hugged him, hehe), and the demon king disappeared and peace came to the world. I was happy, but also a little sad.

Ugh. If I had known this would happen, I should have set up a flag for the saintess saying, “I have something to say after this battle is over.” I heard it was a death flag a lot, so I deliberately didn’t say anything, but it was such a shame. As I was chewing over such regrets, the goddess came to visit me in my dream. The content was as expected. Should I go back? Should I stay? Of course, I said I would stay.

Honestly, even if I go back, I won’t be able to escape the tall nerd status, right? But here, there are so many pretty girls that my eyes will turn to, and they all like me. Hehe. Besides, it’s annoying to leave a character that I haven’t conquered. It feels like I’ve only cleared 99% of the game.

So we returned to the kingdom and a grand celebration was held. I was officially recognized as a warrior of the continent, not a warrior of the kingdom, and was awarded a huge mansion and treasure. Well, that’s all good. Now, I want to start the conquest. The saintess’s status is still…

Favorability: Slightly high (65)

Strategy Difficulty: Very High

That’s what I’m saying. It seems like I’ve neglected the saintess too much while I was busy increasing and managing the harem. I need to quickly increase her favorability rating to make her comfortable. Hehe.

I thought so… but when I came to my senses, the king had given me a diplomatic mission to travel the entire continent, exterminate the remnants of the demon tribe, and meet with representatives of the Northern Kingdom and other races. Boy, if I insist on being nice to the saintess, she’ll get in my way. Well, there’s plenty of time, and the saintess has a lot to do in the castle, so should I mercifully follow the king’s instructions?

That’s how I traveled all over the continent. Defeating demons, occasionally finding pretty girls and taking them with me for a while, and promising to come visit someday, I increased the number of people in my harem. What? Cheating? Aren’t you saying I have too little chastity? Me, really! The hero of this continent is me, right? This world was prepared for me too! I can seduce some pretty girls. A saint? She’s not here? And she was cold at first, but later she respected me because of my status as a hero! What is this? A public figure, a public figure! Even though she’s not my wife. Not yet!

Well, honestly, I think it’s been about six months since we last met. Isn’t that the longest I’ve seen the saintess’s face since the defeat of the Demon King? I heard that the saintess is also traveling around the continent on a sort of pilgrimage. Then I guess we’ll meet at the same place soon. Huh, and a pilgrimage? So you really wanted to follow in my footsteps. Now, I can understand the saintess’s feelings, right? Hehe.

Yes, I thought simply.

It was an easy decision.

I looked at it complacently.

With the foolish mindset that everything exists for me,

We are now faced with a similar situation.

“Why, Militia…”

“Hero…..”

“…”

In the rocky western mountains, in that harsh place where the gusts of wind blew, I was kneeling and looking up in despair. The saintess and… the abominable demon standing beside her. A short, shabby-looking piece of trash that wasn’t even an extra.

And, the appearance of the victor who defeated me and took the saint in his hands.

“Why, why…”

I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t want to believe it. That’s why I denied it even after hearing the rumor. It couldn’t be true. It couldn’t be true. Even when I saw it from a distance, I thought it was a mistake. However, when I opened the status window just in case… it drove me into a desperate reality.

Militia Air Grants -> Warrior

Favorability: Low (19)

Strategy Difficulty: Impossible

Impossible? Impossible. What do you mean? It’s not a strategy character. It’s a non-strategy character? Why, why! But my anger and lamentation did not end there. The moment I used another function of the status window, the function that allows you to find out the relationship between one character and another,

Militia Airgrants -> Glen

Favorability: Deep Love (99)

Strategy Step: Marriage Promise

I fell into a state of deep despair, and found myself repeating just one sentence.

“Why, Milicia. You loved me so much, why…”

“Hero…”

The saintess had a guilty look on her face. However, there was something more bothering her.

I’m stuck with that hyena-like guy.

Enough to make me want to curse you.

The shoulders are naturally touching.

Enough to make me want to tear it apart.

They are holding each other’s hands and interlocking their fingers like lovers.

I want to tear that guy to pieces!

“I’m sorry, warrior. I knew what you were thinking, and so did I…”

As she spoke, the saint cautiously turned her head to the man next to her. Oh, no. No. Her holy cheeks were flushed and blushing. Anyone who saw her was looking at the man next to her with eyes filled with affection. It was an expression she had never shown to herself, an expression she had never seen before.

No, no. Stop it. Stop it… please…

“Glen, the person I fell in love with, gave me so many precious things. He helped me experience many things for the first time. He protected me so that I could live as myself. He held my hand more gently than anyone else…and loved me more than anyone else. That’s why I love him too, and we made a promise to get married. We’ll have a wedding when we return to the kingdom. Warrior. Please, I don’t deserve this…but please bless us. If you liked me even a little bit.”

ah.

what.

A little bit, Irani. I,

Still, you…

My mind is shattered. My heart is falling apart. I can’t think of anything. No, I don’t want to think of anything.

If you liked it even a little… ask for my blessing? How, how could you say something like that…

Inadvertently, I turn my gaze in protest. To that devil. To the world’s worst robber who stole my precious Milishia-chan.

Then,

“Ah, aaah!”

I saw it. Clearly.

It was clearly written on that sullen face.

Only the winner can build something for the loser

A terrible laugh.

“This, this is so funny!!!!”

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“Why, why…”

No, he just keeps repeating those words like a doll. Are you really a warrior?

Glenn was so shocked that he couldn’t help but chuckle. But then, it seemed like the warrior saw it. He suddenly screamed, got up from his seat, and ran towards him.

Was it reckless? Glenn was a little flustered, but quickly got away from the precious Milicia next to him. It seemed like Milicia was shouting something. However, what was important right now was the warrior in front of him, no, the beast that was blinded by jealousy.

How did it turn out like this? Don’t you really know that? You idiot!

But Glen, I actually want to ask, how did it come to this?

How did he, who was looked at as a fool, completely capture the heart of a saint?

How did it come to be that she and I got engaged?

Everything happened 7 months ago,

It started from that day.
