episode_0058

Let’s summarize.

It seems like the chairman has completely surrendered mentally to his senior. This is… honestly, this is something I was aiming for, even if only a little. I had hoped that if he knew his senior’s true feelings, the chairman would be able to bend on his own.

So I gained 30,000 experience points. 30,000?! I got 300, Suin got 1,500, and Yuna got 3,000?! I wonder what this experience inflation is, but let’s just say it’s true for now.

I don’t think I contributed much to this surrender, so I don’t think I gained any talent. It’s understandable, since the two I fought directly and my seniors must have had a big influence.

The problem comes next.

Unique skill [Blessing of the Goddess of Love 1] whose identity was unknown.

It was supposed to be unlocked when you reach 10,000 accumulated experience points, and with the addition of small experience points, my accumulated experience points were in the early 5,000s.

So I thought that if I made the chairman a slave this time, it would be unlocked… but it seems that there were actually two things hidden.

One is the change to the skill [Promise that Binds Souls], and the other is the unlocking of a new skill called [Blessing of the Goddess of Love 2].

Funnily enough, [Goddess of Love’s Blessing 2] was a skill that was unlocked when you had 30,000 cumulative experience points, so it seems like it was unlocked as soon as it appeared in this one room. Likewise, there were two hidden contents.

One is the change to the skill [Everyone is a slave before it], and the other is the unlocking of a new skill [Goddess of Love’s Blessing 3].

[Goddess of Love’s Blessing 3] is unlocked when you have over 100,000 cumulative experience points, so it looks like we won’t be able to see it for a while…

“What’s the problem?”

“Oh, ah, no! Hui, Chairman, over there, all of a sudden, I don’t know what this is… .”

The chairman’s voice brought me and my senior, who were feeling embarrassed, back to reality.

“Yeah. I don’t really know what’s what either. But… I thought I’d be a help to someone who thinks like Saya Yang. It’s funny. Until a few hours ago, I thought I’d never be your slave.”

“Come, Chairman… .”

“Thank you for understanding my heart and encouraging me. Thank you for trying to understand my idealism, and for believing in me and even giving up the right to be a winner.”

The chairman was calm, but not everyone could be like that.

Yuren, who had been blushing when I told the chairman, ‘It’s okay if you don’t become a slave,’ was at a loss for what to do with her embarrassment.

“Oh, sis… . Why… .”

“I’m sorry, Yuren. It was something I promised. Besides, I knew it. I was too weak to argue. I said I wanted to be completely defeated, and that’s exactly what happened.”

“But, but… .”

A slightly cold light passed through the chairman’s eyes.

“And that’s right. Seha, if I were to form an alliance without becoming a slave, then of course there would have to be something that could secure the alliance, right?”

“Well… I guess so? Dialogue and compromise both need to have some basis.”

“Then there is no need for that now, right? As long as I am a slave, there is no chance that Yuren will become a master who harms you. If my active loyalty is needed, you will also protect Yuren well.”

That was right too.

If you become a madman and go berserk, you will not even be able to follow [orders]. If you do not intend to throw away Yuren, you must protect him well.

Yuren probably knew that fact too. She must have been prepared for it, and she didn’t try to force something that was already irreversible.

but….

“… Couldn’t you make me a slave instead? Then I wouldn’t be a threat to you all… and I could be on your side… .”

“Yuren… . That’s… .”

“It’s possible.”

I couldn’t help but make an embarrassed expression towards the chairman who was looking at me in surprise.

“… It wasn’t working until a few minutes ago, but I think it will now… .”

▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷

The description of the skill I just acquired, [Everyone is a slave before it], was as follows.

‘Nothing can be free before it. There is only mutual dependence. He who truly understands this fact can give up his [Master] status.’

And next to the description there was a little gauge drawn. It was currently full and glowing blue.

As I concentrated my consciousness and used the skill, something fell from the air into my hand.

It was a choker with a small rocket attached.

I handed it to Yuren.

“I think it’s probably a prerequisite to wear it voluntarily. Then I think you’ll lose your Master status and become a slave.”

“… Why is it only the family type?”

“There’s nothing I can do. This is also a new ability that I’ve just developed.”

“… No. I’m still anxious. Yuren, think again… .”

Yuren’s decision was faster than light.

He quickly snatched the choker from my hand and put it around his neck. The next moment, a dazzling light enveloped Yuren… Yuren hurriedly ran to Senior Saya.

This is not the reaction of someone who couldn’t use his legs until a few hours ago… .

“Please! Make me, make me on the same side as my sister! I’ll do anything for that!”

“Stop it! Just by not being a master, you can avoid fatal consequences! You don’t have to be a slave!”

But it was already too late.

Perhaps no one in the world would have wanted to be a slave more than Yuren right now. Oh, except me.

A message of surrender from Yuren has arrived. It seems that my contribution has been underestimated once again. It was almost 100% voluntary… .

Experience points are 2000. I want to know the criteria for determining this.

The chairman, who was truly angry, grabbed Yuren and started to preach, but when Yuren protested, “Wasn’t you going to leave me and become a slave anyway?”, he ended up stopping there.

He’s basically someone who can’t win against Yuren.

After the commotion died down a bit, the senior gave his first order to the chairman.

This was something that my senior and I had discussed and decided on before.

“Chairman. Please listen carefully. [This is an absolute order that cannot be changed or canceled for any reason. The Chairman’s ‘Thousand-Slaughter Law’ is only permitted to be used when the lives of the Chairman, Yuren, and myself are in danger.]”

“Should I buy…?”

The chairman and Yuren, no, even Yuna and Suin, all looked at Senior Saya with surprised eyes.

However, Senior Saya seemed to have misunderstood the meaning and made this excuse with an extremely guilty expression.

“I’m sorry. I included myself in this… .”

It was no different from me having insisted on it. Then my senior asked if I should include myself, but I excluded that. Then I would have to include Yuna and Suin, and in the end, it would be difficult to prevent the chairman from abusing his power.

“And Yuren Yang.”

“Yes, Saya Unnie… .”

The senior smiled slightly at Yuren, whose expression was clearly tense.

“Congratulations on your better leg. Please continue to be good sisters with the chairman.”

“Yes!”

▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷▷

The chairman and Yuren returned home for now.

The two of them are planning to live here together, but there are a lot of things to prepare.

Yuna and Suin went back to sleep. They didn’t show it much, but fighting over and over again must have taken a toll on them mentally.

And I was wondering where I should use the experience points I gained with my senior. Even if I were to recreate the defensive facilities that the chairman had built in his house, there would still be quite a bit of experience points left.

Investing in someone’s skills or talents isn’t a bad thing either. In the case of Yuna or Chairman, there isn’t much benefit to spending experience points, but in the case of Suin or Yuren, even if you grow them a little, the usability of their abilities increases, so it’s quite beneficial.

Leveling up in the training room is good too… You can also try the awakening ability gacha once.

“If this were a game, I would bravely try it at least once… .”

However, in the game, Senior Saya failed no matter how many times he tried to use the awakening ability gacha. It was probably due to the unique skill [Incompetence].

“Want to try it, junior?”

“Huh? Me? I’m fine. I’ve never had anything happen to me by betting on luck. The only time I’ve felt really lucky in my life… is when I met you, senior.”

“… … … … … … Ugh, that, that kind of thing, please give me time to prepare myself before telling me… .”

The senior who had been sighing like that soon changed his attitude.

“No… . I wonder if it might be my fault for not preparing while talking to my junior… .”

“Senior, you really are the one who takes my nagging too seriously.”

Of course I am just grateful.

We decided to hold hands, put our shoulders together, and take a short break.

“I don’t know if it was a good thing to make Chairman Yuren a slave.”

“I don’t know much about Yuren’s case, but I honestly think it was right to accept the chairman.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. If there is a chairman who has completely given his heart to you as a slave, do you think you can endure it without using your authority as a master?”

“… .”

The senior blushed.

He must be recalling the groans that could be heard until late in the morning.

“The chairman is already incredibly soft on his younger sister, so even if he gives her some strange orders, she’ll probably accept them… . If he has the authority to command, there’s no limit.”

“If that’s the case, it’s a problem even if you’re not a master.”

“… That’s true, but there will be differences in the speed at which the limit is broken.”

The senior nodded, saying, ““That must be true… .”,” and then remained silent for a while.

Then he asked in a slightly playful tone.

“What if you were the master and I was the slave? Would you still be issuing me endless and scary orders?”

Past crimes flashed through my mind.

Oh no… Get out of my head, you evil spirit.

If I were to write this story as a book, that part would definitely be a serious hurdle and would deter readers… .

“That was me when I didn’t know anything yet, but if I were me now, I would probably do this.”

I got down from the sofa and got down on one knee.

And then he looked up at his senior and said.

“Be my master, senior.”

The senior opened his eyes wide.

“Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?” he asked, not knowing what to do. Then he lowered his head and spoke in a trembling voice.

“gi, willingly… .”

good.

Permission was also granted.

I took the ‘ring’ out of my bosom.

And he put it on his senior’s left ring finger.

“Hey, junior?!”

《Unique skill [Promise that Binds the Soul] is activated.》

“It’s your turn to receive a ring from your lover.”

I took out the second ring.

“Okay, senior. If you allow me, I’d like you to put this on for me too.”

The senior’s nursery rhyme was amazing.

“Uh, uh, uh, junior… . Uh, really? Uh, do you really want to… receive a ring from me… ?”

“It has to be your senior. Of course.”

I wonder why you are questioning it.

The senior got down from the sofa and knelt in front of me. I ended up getting down on both knees as well.

He took the ring from me with trembling hands and took several deep breaths.

“Uh, what should I do… . I can’t think of anything to say… .”

“It’s okay. I know everything about you, senior. I’ll think I’m hearing the coolest words you know.”

“If I don’t say it, it doesn’t mean anything… .”

The senior pondered for a long time what to say after that, but was unable to find the words.

Instead, he put a ring on my finger and kissed my finger with his whole heart.

《Unique skill [Promise that Binds the Soul] is activated.》

《My pain is your pain, your wounds are my wounds. We can share each other’s pain and wounds.》

This message must have been delivered to the seniors as well.

“What, what is this?”

“Well… . I used the skill [Soul Binding Promise] that I just got, and two rings came out.”

It is a skill that can be used only after collecting the gauge, and the gauge is empty after use. The skill description is also very short.

‘Share joys and sorrows with the person you are soul-bound with. (Stage 1)’

The sign that says Stage 1 on the back was also something that came out after exchanging rings. It must be the type that gets stronger when certain conditions are met.

“Actually, it wasn’t the ring I prepared, and it wasn’t a sure thing, so I wasn’t planning on giving it to you now… But my senior is bad. He looked like he couldn’t help but give me the ring… .”

but….

“But I guess I should take back what I said about being unlucky earlier. When I wanted to give a ring to my senior, there was a ring right in my pocket. I don’t know if I could be luckier than that.”

“Junior… … … … .”

For some reason, I hugged my senior tightly, even though he seemed like he was about to burst into tears.

And I thought.

The number of skills I didn’t know English increased from one to three. One of them was enough to touch [Master] and [Slave], which I thought were absolute restrictions.

The reason I came to this world, and the skill I gained, was greatly influenced by the existence of the ‘Goddess of Love’.

Then, is 【Apostle of the Goddess of Madness】 also similar?

Did someone come to this world after meeting the ‘Goddess of Madness’ and gain the skill called [Fragment of the Jomakyung] like me?

Are you actively participating in this master war like me?

If that happens, the only weapon I have will lose its power.

The fact that the chairman entered the nobleman mode today was something I had never expected. If he had been a little more off, it might not have been possible for him to be like this.

I felt a chill at the ominous thought.

“Junior…? Are you okay?”

But the warmth of my senior’s worried eyes and the arms that hugged me quickly blew away the chills.

Yes, the presence of enemies is not the only unexpected thing.

It was equally unpredictable that his senior would be this lovable, that Yuna and Suin would fight so fiercely and win, and that he would also gain the skill he had just acquired.

I thought over my senior’s words in my mind once again.

The senior said that two people who love each other cannot go down the wrong path.

Since my senior said so, there’s nothing I can do.

If there’s anyone who interferes with my senior’s happy ending route, I’ll just eliminate them by any means necessary.

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

《The operation against the candidate for the Queen Mother has failed.》

“… What the heck?”

【The Apostle of the Goddess of Madness】 couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

He was a child who had the natural tendency to fall into madness. If he was provoked even a little, he would go crazy and run wild.

While losing his five senses, he was unable to recognize the existence of those precious to him, and so he unknowingly killed his younger sister and was looking forward to seeing a great disaster unfold… .

【The Apostle of the Goddess of Madness】 checked the biological responses around Elin. And there, he confirmed a familiar response.

It’s similar.

The name that was nearby when the [Fragment of the Jomakyung] that had been embedded in the Pajeong Knight disappeared.

I remember laughing because it was said to be a unique skill, but it turned out to be [incompetent].

If it happened once, it might not matter, but if it happens twice, you can’t help but be suspicious. The fact that he was with Elin must mean that he was related to the Wolmyeong Military Academy.

Fortunately, there is a useful word for it.

He thought of that guy in his head. He was one of the top two at Wolmyeong Military Academy along with Elin. However, after some tinkering, he was now the undisputed top.

I don’t remember what the name was. My first impression was Geum Tae-yang, and no matter what I thought, there was no name that suited it better.

He sent a wave of salt to the golden sun.

──Get rid of that girl named Yusaya. You can kill her.
