“Okay, Chairman. [Don’t move]. [Don’t speak]. If you do something now, my little brother won’t be able to handle it… .”

Maybe it was Yuren who had to be stopped.

The thought of having to escape must have been more important than anything else. I moved my body in a hurry to get out of bed and get away from the chairman.

Of course, since he couldn’t use his legs, the escape was bound to be a miserable experience to watch.

“Aaak!”

He fell off the bed in a hurry and landed on the wrong foot. One of his wrists turned red, but Yuren looked towards the chairman first.

Even though he was ordered not to move, the chairman’s body twitched as he saw Yuren screaming in pain. His lips also tried to say something.

And above all, those eyes… .

Yuren turned her head.

There was no time to transfer to a wheelchair or anything. I had to put my arms on the ground and try to escape somehow.

Of course it was impossible. It was even more so because one of my wrists was so sore that I couldn’t even listen.

Yuren’s gaze turned back again, filled with fear.

It must have been because the chairman’s eyes were looking at him so earnestly. There was no sign of contempt or blame, but perhaps that was what scared Yuren even more.

Yuren ‘tried to stand up’.

It can’t be easy. It’s probably a movement you haven’t done properly in years. You may have tried it with someone’s help for treatment and rehabilitation, but you’ve never done it successfully on your own.

But the conditions were in place.

Nerve regeneration had already been done half a year ago. But the reason why he couldn’t move his legs was ‘psychogenic’. It was a problem caused by the mind.

There was a reason why Yuren couldn’t move her legs. And now, that reason has been erased by the absolute reason why she must move her legs.

The legs, which had been lifeless and dead like a statue, began to tremble.

He tried to pull himself up, one hand on the wall. The tips of his feet and toes were trembling as they tried to touch the floor.

It failed.

It was fortunate that my toes were not injured, because my weak feet could not properly support my body.

But Yuren didn’t give up. She pulled herself up again on her legs, which had slipped so horribly, and tried to somehow increase her contact with the ground.

I went and helped.

He helped Yuren get up by holding her arm so that her trembling feet could properly touch the ground and so that she could bear the weight of the body as she got up.

Of course, it was only an aid. It only helped to slightly reduce the initial burden.

So even though he was leaning against the wall, it was clear that Yuren was finally able to stand up by his own efforts.

And Yuren started walking. She tried to slip once, but I supported her. Yuren looked at me with resentful eyes, leaned against the wall, and continued walking.

I walked up the stairs and left the basement.

I ran away from the chairman.

After Yuren’s figure completely disappeared, I looked back and saw the chairman with a blank expression on the bed.

He must have been unable to believe what he was seeing. His usual calmness had disappeared, and his shaky gaze suddenly felt very childish.

“It was a bit faster than I thought, but it turned out well. Chairman, do you have anything to say to me for making my little brother walk again? Oh, [you can say it].”

“… What did you do to Yuren!!!”

The chairman’s hair turned red.

Huh? I know you’re shocked, but here comes the noble mother mode?

The order to remain motionless was still in effect, but the red-haired Chairman still got up from his bed.

“You made Yuren weird… . You made Yuren weird… . You… You made Yuren weird… . What have you done to my lovely Yuren!!!”

The bath towels that had been wrapped around his body flowed down, revealing the chairman’s body. In that scarred but well-trained body, I found a single strange dissonance.

“… What is that on your chest, Chairman?”

A gray dagger that looked like it had been made by attaching a crude handle to a piece of broken glass. It was translucent and seemed to have no substance, and it was stuck in the chairman’s chest.

Even as I watch, it is slowly digging into the chairman’s heart.

“Don’t change the subject!!!”

The chairman rushed in.

Perhaps it was because his physical abilities had been doubled by [Frenzy]. He was able to respond thanks to his experience of continuously training with [Accelerated] Yuna and struggling to avoid the result of a single hit even if he was just grazed.

In addition, even though it was an F-rank, it helped a little that I had gained the [Acceleration] ability. By focusing only on the speed of nerve transmission, I was able to increase my responsiveness.

I took out the Sersi that I had hidden between my hair.

I pulled out a short whip about 2 meters long and confronted the chairman who was rushing at me. It was fortunate for me that he tried to kill me with his own body rather than using [Thousand-Million-Slaughter Techniques].

The chairman and I crossed paths for a moment.

Thanks to the desperate evasion, there was no collision. However, the whip that was swung in line with the trajectory of the rushing chairman was wrapped around the chairman’s arms and legs.

In normal circumstances, I would have held out like this and stopped the Chairman, but there was no point in trying that against the Chairman whose physical abilities had been enhanced several times in the [Frenzy] state.

So, I pressed the button and sent electricity through the whip, and at the same time, I flew without resisting the chairman’s momentum.

The electric shock applied to the body disrupts the electrical signals in the nerves. This is not a problem that can be overcome with willpower. It is a little different for the awakened, but that does not mean that they are not affected at all.

Even if the chairman of the noble mother mode was in [Frenzy] and [Immortal] state, the problem was the same. The moment the lightning was applied, his body completely stopped for just a moment.

Of course, the chairman has [the Thousand-Million Law].

And there is a counter usage method that allows you to return the pain inflicted on others without harming yourself.

So the electric shock I just applied came back to me as is, frying my body with electrical signals.

The hand holding the gray dagger that had been stuck in the chairman’s chest contracted completely due to nerve stimulation. I rolled on the floor while holding the dagger tightly.

The chairman crossed the basement in one stride, and I, holding the whip, flew with him. The match was decided in that short moment when the chairman’s feet rose from the ground to touch the floor.

The gray dagger melted in his hand, creating a bead of light and disappearing.

I was happy, but I wasn’t in a position to enjoy it.

I’ve received electrical stimulation enough to get sick of it during pain tolerance tests, and I’ve received it quite a few times since, but it doesn’t become chronic.

It felt like my mind was being bleached by an electric shock, and in the midst of that, I heard an unfamiliar system message.

《I came across a fragment of [The Apostle of the Goddess of Madness].》

《[Fragment of the Joma Kyung] has been removed.》

I flinched for a moment. It was a completely unfamiliar proper noun, one I had never heard of even in the settings.

The only thing that stands out is the name ‘Goddess of Madness’.

The woman who sent me here called herself the ‘Goddess of Love’. Could there be some connection?

“Wake up, Seha! Are you okay?!”

The chairman, whose hair was losing its red glow, shook me and asked. It seems that the shock didn’t really hit him that hard.

“You were just rushing at me to kill me, but now you’re worried about me…?”

“… Looks okay.”

“The chairman seems to be doing okay…but he was acting strange until just now.”

“… That’s right. What on earth was it? I was angry, and I was definitely angry at you, but it wasn’t something I had to take out on you… .”

It doesn’t look like he’s been swayed.

That’s probably true. The Chairman didn’t seem to notice at all that I pulled the dagger out of his chest and it was melting away.

“Did you feel the same way when you entered the mode of the noble mother earlier?”

“Yes. It was an incoherent thought, but at that moment, it felt natural… and I harbored strange hostility… .”

In the case of the Chairman, there is a dangerous button called the Gwijamosin mode. Luckily, I was able to stop it before any damage was done, but if I had been careless, a disaster could have occurred.

There was also an event in the game where if you left Yuren to die or killed him yourself, the desperate chairman would turn into an indiscriminate killer.

Naturally, the result that awaits is the chairman’s downfall.

… Let’s put this issue on hold for now. For now, the only clue we have is that short system message.

“Isn’t that just a random hostility? Isn’t it my fault that Yuren ended up like that?”

“… … … … … … … … It was you who planned this walk, right?”

“Well, that’s right.”

huh.

The chairman’s reaction is very rational. He’s back.

“… Then, I will thank you now. What made my little brother scream… I will settle the accounts later.”

“… No, that’s not rational. It’s too generous. ”

But this might be ‘normal’ to the chairman.

“Then… can I hear your story a little bit? About what you’ve planned, and about Yuren… I don’t know what to do… .”

I sighed as I saw the chairman bowing his head.

I don’t like characters that are smart, kind, kind, beautiful, and strong.

“I’m good at confusing things, but I’m not really good at training… Can I use my senior’s chance here?”

Ten minutes later, Senior Saya came down to the basement.

It is said that he was embarrassed when he saw Yuren walking on her own feet in a very disheveled manner. When asked about the situation, he said that she only sobbed and did not answer.

Fortunately, he was currently sleeping in the bedroom on the first floor, and he wondered what on earth had happened.

Let me explain the situation… My senior looked at me with a troubled expression as usual.

“… Junior, you really don’t hesitate when you think it’s necessary… .”

“Yeah. Are you in love again?”

“There’s no reason to fall in love… . And I can’t fall in love any more than this… .”

The chairman cleared his throat and stopped hugging his senior.

“I’m sorry, Saya-san. I don’t want to interrupt your fun, but I’m a little impatient too… . Honestly, I don’t know what’s going on. My little sister’s thoughts, the reason she was able to walk, or what to do next… .”

Senior Saya looked at me.

A look of wonder as to why I am not answering.

“If this is the problem… I think it would be less convincing if I said it.”

“I don’t think it would be any different for me… .”

The senior was lost in thought, looking perplexed.

I told my senior most of the facts I know. But that’s just information, and it’s a whole other story to draw any conclusions from it. And my senior can probably tell the story with a little more depth than I can.

“Yu-ren Yang was able to walk… I think we should talk about that differently. Why she couldn’t walk even after receiving nerve treatment. This is probably an easy reason to understand.”

Ms. Yuren,

I bet he was scared of losing the chairman.

“It’s gone… .”

“When I was little… I had a really high fever, probably a cold. My mother, who is usually a very calm person, was so shocked that she practically carried me to the hospital.”

It probably really flew.

“It was nothing serious, so I took some fever reducers and waited a while, and I got better, but I was happy that my mother was by my side the whole time, so I wanted to do that again. Like, I purposely got caught in the rain… . But my mother found out, and she didn’t react when I had a fever the next time.”

“Are you saying that your younger brother was faking an illness… .”

“That’s impossible… . But he must have been afraid of becoming healthy. The chairman is very busy, right? But he must have tried to stay home with his younger brother who had a disability because he was worried about him, right?”

If it gets better,

If you don’t have to worry,

Then my sister won’t be by my side.

Such fear must have prevented Yuren from walking.

It’s the kind of fear that’s hard to escape, even if you know it won’t be like that.

I blew it.

It gave me such a strong shock that any thought that he might not be by my side completely flew away.

“Then… being able to walk… might not be such good news… .”

Senior Saya opened her mouth to say something and swallowed it. If it were me, I would have stabbed her right away.

The chairman’s self-reproach continued a little longer.

“What was… bad? I wanted to be a proud older sister to Yuren… . I wanted to take responsibility for Yuren not being able to walk… .”

If it were me, I would have definitely said that both of them were wrong.

I would say that it was wrong for both of them to be dishonest. Because of that, their hearts were spinning and they were causing unnecessary hurt.

Senior Saya,

I held the chairman’s hand tightly.

“I did nothing wrong. Yuren really likes the chairman. She is really proud of her sister who always does her best. She just feels sorry for him. It hurts to see the chairman get hurt, and she is afraid that she is the one who is pushing the chairman to fight like that.”

“I am… I am… .”

“What about you, Chairman? Have you ever thought that taking care of Miss Yuren was annoying or troublesome? Did you hate your sister because she couldn’t walk even after receiving treatment? That’s why… .”

The senior blushed slightly, but continued speaking.

“Your younger sibling wants to… sexually… with you, so… you can’t accept your younger sibling… or something…?”

The chairman remained silent for a while.

He must have been looking for the answer within himself. And surprisingly, he answered readily.

“No, Miss Saya… . I was surprised and embarrassed, but… I didn’t feel any resistance.”

Senior Saya showed a look of relief that was noticeable.

“Yes. I thought so. Miss Yuren is so affectionate. It must be because she received so much love from the Chairman. The Chairman was able to continue to endure pain and work hard because Miss Yuren was there. That’s because the two of them really liked each other… .”

Senior Saya looked at me for a moment.

After a moment of silence, as if he was mentally weighing his words, he spoke in a surprisingly unwavering voice.

“Because two people like that can’t go down the wrong path.”

The words that followed, “I might be able to turn around a little bit… .” sounded relatively smaller.

Thank goodness. If you only listen to the first part, it’s so confident that it doesn’t seem like you’re a senior, so I almost fell in love with you again. As you said, it’s impossible to fall in love any more than this.

The chairman paused for a moment at Senior Saya’s affirmation, blessing, or wish. Perhaps the chairman had never expected to hear such powerful words from Senior Saya.

A long-awaited smile returned to the chairman’s face.

“Isn’t that something you’re saying for yourself, Saya Yang, rather than for me and Yuren?”

“… … That, is that so, I guess… .”

I approached my senior who was bowing his head slightly, kissed his head, and hugged him tightly.

“Thank you, Senior Saya. I would never say something like that again.”

“… Did I say something that even my junior couldn’t say, I… .”

“Those words are subtly hurtful… .”

The chairman coughed. Was it my imagination that he felt a hint of irritation at the pickling?

“… I know it’s a bit odd to ask for help like this, but could you two give me some advice on what to do with Yuren?”

I played with the ends of her hair, expressing my intention to delegate everything to Senior Saya.

Senior Saya, who was wondering what to say, opened her mouth.

“Um… I’m sorry for talking about myself again… . I’m different from the chairman or my juniors, and I don’t have much experience in the world, so I don’t have much to say… .”

“It’s okay, Saya. Right now, I don’t have a more trustworthy advisor than you. Seha’s advice may be effective, but it’s scary… .”

I know it’s rude to say this, but I decided to keep my mouth shut because it seems to be true.

So the senior gave advice based on his experience.

“I… have searched for threesome on the internet.”

““… … … … … ?!””

“… There… That… I never thought I would ever search for something like that… . But there’s someone I like… There’s someone who likes me… And somehow, there were two of them… … .”

The senior continued talking with a bright red face.

“Until then… I thought that I should only like one person… . Actually, maybe I still do… . If I could monopolize it, I would, and sometimes I wish for it. But then Yuna would feel sorry… I thought that if the three of us could be together, that might not be so bad… .”

The chairman didn’t bother to point out that someone’s name appeared in the middle.

My privacy is being exposed even though I’m not there.

“… So, was it good?”

“Huh?! Oh, no, that’s not it… . That, that… That’s what I wanted to say. That… .”

When you like someone,

When you realize that you like someone,

When I find out that someone likes me… .

“Then I don’t think it can be the same as before. We have no choice but to live differently, in a different way. But I don’t think that’s a bad thing either. As I said, people who really like each other… .”

“You can’t go down the wrong path… . I get it, Saya-yang. And that threesome was really good.”

“… … … … … … … … … … … … .”

My senior finally couldn’t hold out any longer and turned around, burying his face in my chest.

The chairman looked at me with a relaxed expression, as if he had completely regained his usual pace, and spoke.

“I was anxious because I couldn’t understand the situation and I couldn’t know what you were thinking, but now I understand. … I can’t say thank you, though.”

“We’re going to be a family, so we have to do this much. Oh, this is a gift. It’ll help appease my little brother.”

I took out the small recorder I had placed in one corner of the basement and threw it at the chairman.

“What is this?”

“If you feel stuck while talking to your younger sibling, turn it on. It will definitely have a huge effect… Ah.”

“Seha Yang’s credibility is too low to blindly believe and follow without even knowing what the content is… .”

The chairman’s words, which had been warning me, stopped as he played the recorder.

The faces of Senior Saya and the Chairman turned bright red at the same time as they heard the content playing inside the recorder.

“Why didn’t you believe me? If you had told me in front of your little brother, you would have only been embarrassed once.”

“Where on earth did you get this… . No, why on earth… .”

“People tend to think that what someone says about themselves when they’re not around is that person’s true feelings.”

Unlike the chairman who didn’t know what to do, Senior Saya, who was already quite skilled(?), just sighed.

“You really like this kind of thing, huh… .”
