To be honest, the tempo of the game was so unusual that it would be difficult for a normal body to follow it.

Unlike in games where you can walk thousands or tens of thousands of steps just by tapping on the keyboard, my legs had limitations.

In that you have to rest your shaking legs again and again, there is bound to be a clear difference between the speed of the game and reaching the ending while considering realistic issues.

However, despite these differences, I couldn’t help but wonder why the day to go to fight was approaching so quickly, and I couldn’t help but sigh at the fact that there would already be a fight when I woke up this day.

I was startled by the sigh I made without realizing it, so I opened my eyes wide and looked around, but fortunately, no one seemed to have seen my sigh.

It was a rattling spoon, but I only played with it but didn’t put it in my mouth.

I wonder why the food is so tasteless and my taste buds have lost their taste.

If you have a dull sense of taste, you might be able to enjoy anything, but even if you have a sensitive sense of taste, you might be able to find delicious things to eat, but beyond that, I felt frustrated because I just couldn’t taste the food properly.

There is no joy.

I have to fight the game’s monsters, but I’m too busy fighting my trauma.

Because my body was like this, I couldn’t satisfy my sexual desires, I couldn’t taste properly, so it was hard to satisfy my appetite, and when I wanted to satisfy my desire for sleep, I felt mentally exhausted because I couldn’t sleep properly for the past few days.

When I finished eating only half of the meal, I noticed that others had already emptied their plates as they continued to eat without stopping.

And after that, it was Agnes who wiped her mouth and opened her mouth.

“Now that I think about it, Kylon. When it comes to fighting tomorrow, do you have a plan?”

“I’ll tell you about that later at the inn.”

“Ah, then let’s do that.”

After hearing Agnes’ question, Kailon showed with his gaze that this was a crowded restaurant, and Agnes seemed to have realized that as well, so she nodded.

First of all, I realized that I had a plan.

It was Linda’s voice that continued like that.

“So, today is also training, right?”

“… Just do it in moderation.”

And after that, Flora snorted and said that.

The moaning was so loud that I thought Flor might have noticed it, but Linda responded angrily to her words, probably not realizing that the noise she was making was that loud.

“What are you talking about! If you miss a day of training, you will quickly notice!”

“You must be young~”

Flora shrugged her shoulders sarcastically and said that, as if she didn’t like Linda like that.

Looking at it this way, it seemed like Flora knew for sure.

Rather, I think Agnes may have known, but she didn’t react at all.

No, I was going to pretend not to know and move on, but did Flora tackle me?

Linda left the sarcastic Flora behind and turned her head to look at Kailon, as if appealing to him.

I felt like I knew that gaze even when I saw it. Are you going to do it today too? It was an unspoken appeal.

Of course, training on the outside! Although they say this, they do not know that in reality, it is a lose-lose sex under the guise of it.

Either that or not. As I was quietly fiddling with the potion in my bag, Chiron’s answer came out.

“… No, let’s rest today.”

“Uh, eh? Why?”

“I have to prepare for tomorrow, so I think I should get some rest. Now, let’s go, I’ll pay.”

Flora walked in, smiling fondly at Linda, who was heartbroken, and soon my dinner was over.

On the way, I bought a canteen filled with water with the pocket money that Kailon gave me, and after that, I settled into a single room at an inn.

While I was sitting on the bed, taking a sip of water to soothe my growling stomach, the door flew open.

“Cough! Wow!”

I was so startled that I flinched and coughed, causing Kailon to look at me with his eyes wide open as if he were embarrassed.

“Uh, huh? Why, why are you like this?”

“Oh, no, it’s because I swallowed it wrong.”

After answering that, I roughly tried to wipe the water from the corner of my mouth. However, because Kylon’s cleansing magic was faster, the moisture around my mouth was quickly wiped away.

I expressed my gratitude with a bitter smile, closed the lid of the canteen, and put it aside. Kailon scratched his head and said to me.

“Would you like to go to that room and sleep? Or are you and me two people?”

It seemed like Kailon was worried about me.

So does that mean it was me who refused Linda’s training earlier? Or maybe I was just planning to rest today.

I didn’t know his true intention, but he didn’t care whether it made me feel better or worse because he asked, so I shrugged my shoulders and answered.

“I’ll just write it here.”

“Then you can hurt yourself by being alone again. I can’t just tie you up and leave.”

“… Please watch me tie it.”

Kylon seemed to think that I was someone he needed to protect who never knew when he might harm himself.

Maybe that’s why he seemed reluctant to leave me alone, but I wasn’t about to listen to him.

I had no way of knowing why I was suddenly focusing my attention on something else, even though I had started the Linda strategy route right now.

It made no sense for him to care about me over Linda, who had not completely conquered him in the first place, but who now had a romantic relationship with him and was jealous.

Do you know how uncomfortable it was to feel those stinging gazes every now and then, whether it was lunch or dinner?

However, it was obvious that Kylon would not feel at ease if I forced him to agree with me by saying such things, so I just smiled bitterly and said it was okay.

“I’m really fine. There is no knife, and if I put my head down, I can hear noises next to me, so you know right away, right?”

Even though I tried so hard to appeal that I was okay, Kailon just stared at me with a subtle expression, as if he didn’t trust me.

“… … .”

In the awkward silence, he carefully approached me and sat down next to the bed where I was sitting.

While looking in the same direction, I felt his gaze glancing at my face so blatantly that I looked away and opened my mouth.

“What is Linda?”

As he took his seat and as soon as he sat down, I told him to leave, so I just started talking about any topic.

Well, I was half hoping that after hearing this, he would take his mind off me and turn his attention to Linda.

Kailon moved his mouth a few times as if he was trying to get a taste, then nodded towards the next room and answered my question.

“I’m in my room right now. I think he’s a little saggy because he didn’t train him… ”

I don’t know anything about this game. It was difficult to discuss what the character was like, blah blah blah.

So, Kylon should have known better why she was so upset right now.

And even I, who didn’t play the game, guessed it right away.

But can Kailon’s remark like this be seen as just being considerate in not saying anything in front of me?

While thinking that, what about him? To that thought, I just answered bluntly.

“Even if you don’t train, it will work out on its own during sex. Go and free me.”

When I first heard the explanation of this game from Kailon, my thought was that even if I were celibate, if he was faithful to his sexual desires, he would quickly reach the ending. It was.

In this place where the heroine is captured, the hero who becomes stronger by that number gains enough power to defeat the Demon King.

So, I couldn’t allow everything to get twisted up and disappear, including the heroine, because of me.

Because I want to see the ending and go home.

But I couldn’t help but groan at Kailon’s reaction, not sure if he recognized my feelings or not.

“Hey, tell me honestly. I don’t know why they’re doing this.”

As the question approached me, I turned my head and glanced at him.

His brows narrowed, as if he didn’t like the fact that I kept pushing him away, that I didn’t care who he was having sex with or not, and that I kept my mouth shut so as not to ruin his excitement even though I was hurting myself at the same time.

I cautiously opened my mouth to Kailon, who was frowning like that.

“… I want to go home.”

A small room for one person. A dark room with a computer.

It was the only place I could be, and at the same time, it was the place I missed the most.

It was so bleak that someone could look at that place and say that there was no prison, but since my world was inside a computer anyway, I could say that there was no place that big.

I come to a place like this and feel pain that I shouldn’t feel, and I feel like I’ll go crazy and not think anything even if I stab myself with a knife. There’s no reason for me to be attached to this place.

While muttering like that, Kailon clicked his tongue as if he was a little different from me.

“What on earth do you like about this house? ”

“Do you like it better here?”

Well, I like home, but Kylon didn’t seem to like it.

That might be the case, so I didn’t really intend to force my thoughts.

What’s so bad about having a lot of money and friends? You could say that, but that just means that it’s an enviable situation for me, and I’ll have my own personal worries.

“… Well, I think it’s more comfortable here. No, you’ve been through something like this, so what am I talking about? Sorry. I made a mistake.”

“No, it’s okay. It can happen.”

Meanwhile, seeing Kailon paying attention to me again made me smile bitterly.

I frowned and raised the corners of my mouth, then carefully took off my veil, adjusted my long black hair that reached down to my waist, and then opened my mouth.

“… So what should we do?”

I wondered if there was a conflict between Kailon’s opinion of not wanting to go home and mine of wanting to go home.

If things continued like this, they might completely disagree with my opinion about seeing the ending.

Therefore, my worries deepened.

As I sat there, sighing, Kylon opened his mouth and it was only at the end that he was able to open his mouth.

“Then, I’ll let you go back. Because there is no hell like this for you.”

I smiled at his words of concession.

That’s how much I could say I was grateful.

“Really? Then I guess I should go. I have a strategy meeting with the kids, and I have a meeting with Linda today too so I can catch the devil.”

So I gave him some closing words to send him away.

I also felt sorry for putting so much emotion into him.

I also felt a little sorry for forcing him to give up the world he said he liked.

Of course, it might be a little different if there was no such thing as two people having to leave this world at the same time, but since you don’t know that until you reach the ending, in the end, it could be said that half of the story was given away.

His expression showed that the concession wasn’t easy.

After hearing what I said, he frowned grimly, opened his tightly shut mouth, and spoke softly.

“… … Yes.”

He also felt like he was suffering somewhere.
