episode_0099

We stayed in the north for three days waiting for Winter to subdue the monsters.

… A lot has happened in the meantime.

The confessions of Linnaeus, Lucia, Arthur, and Elizabeth continued one after another.

It was a difficult yet happy, dream-like day.

but. After all the confessions.

Unlike the girls who looked relieved, my heart was still heavy.

“Ha… .”

‘Who should accept my confession… .’

Because they were no longer just units to clear the game.

Because they were precious colleagues who had already seeped into my heart.

I didn’t want to hurt anyone anyway.

That’s why I thought about it all night.

Which of them likes me the most?

Who do I like best among them?

Do I love them?

At the end, I———

* * *

The day is bright, the next day.

The moment has come to leave Nordkirchen, which we have loved for three days.

Everyone in the group gathered at the entrance of the mansion with their belongings.

I also took a deep breath and headed that way.

The sound of footsteps filled with heavy determination echoed through the entrance.

-Jjong jjong.

“… Good morning, everyone.”

“Hey, kid. Why do you look so tired? Did you stay up all night thinking about the breasts of the sister you saw yesterday?”

“… … … !!!!? Well, what are you talking about, you bastard!!!! Ah, ah, I didn’t do that!!!?”

… Give me back my seriousness, Winter.

I can’t believe I’ve been doing sex drips like this since morning.

My stiff face instantly heated up.

So I turned my head and looked at my other colleagues.

I meant to say that he said something bad, and that he should scold me.

However, contrary to my expectations.

The companions were looking in this direction with confusion.

-Whispering.

“Bora? You keep secretly looking at my chest. Hero, I actually really like this kind of thing.”

“I was skeptical, but… Whoa. It makes perfect sense to think of the savior as an adolescent girl.”

“It’s all obvious, the ears are cute. Hehe.”

“Okay. therefore… Everyone, let’s do what we agreed to yesterday. Like a woman, be fair.”

“Ah, I understand! Your Majesty!”

‘… What are they? ‘Why do you look at me like that?’

The four gathered together and chatting together.

For some reason, goosebumps appeared on my back.

Why are you so close?

You guys are competing with each other for me.

Isn’t it normal for us to fight with each other? Why do you act like you’re in agreement?

More than anything…

Why is everyone looking at me so passionately?

The dry saliva passed.

-gulp.

‘I think it’ll be dangerous if it continues like this… ‘Okay, let’s talk about what we’ve prepared!!!’

“Ah, ah, anyway!! Winter stop saying things like that!!! I have something to say before I leave!!!”

That’s why I quickly changed the topic.

Like screaming that you have something to say.

… Even if I thought about it myself, it didn’t look like a man.

The effect was clear.

“… what? A warrior?”

“Oh, kid. Are you confident?”

The group looks this way at once.

The leopard-like stares that are always on the lookout for prey have changed to their usual state.

In the meantime, I cleared my throat a few times and spoke the words I had prepared.

“Winter… Since I know this, I’ll just talk about it together. Yesterday was the last time you received confessions from all four of you?”

“Yeah, why is that?”

“So, I thought about it all night… .”

“Oh… !!?”

The topic I brought up was the confession I received yesterday.

There was deep interest in the eyes looking at me.

It would be quite an interesting keyword for people who have just confessed to me. matter of course.

And, I…

———I bent my back at a 90 degree angle.

“… sorry!!! I will answer your confession after the demon lord is defeated!!!”

‘It would be impossible to organize my mind in one day!!!’

If you answer quickly, it will be better for both of us.

But, it really wasn’t easy.

We each accepted the confession and imagined going on a date.

The corners of all four people’s mouths twitched and did not stop.

I imagined getting married and doing things like that.

In all, recipe number 20 of braised ribs was enough to sink the outfield.

I wondered if imagining happiness was the problem, so I imagined each person rejecting the confession.

… It broke my heart so much that I quit right away.

I thought about it over and over again, but my mind was still confused and stumbling.

That’s why I decided that I had to put my head down and apologize.

It’s so hard to make up your mind to worry about just one day. Please give me some time.

It may be very awkward for both of us, but please understand.

Then, the companions…

“Puhup. What else can I say? Lift your head up, warrior.”

“That’s right, angel!! There is absolutely no need to apologize for something like that!!!”

“… … Huh?”

Everyone smiled and raised their heads.

In fact, it is the worst answer that the person who confessed to can give, saying that he will put it off without a promise.

There was no anger or embarrassment in their voices.

“Don’t be in a hurry and take it easy. We’re just waiting for our savior to make up his mind.”

“Oh, no. still… Doing this even after listening to the confession until the end… .”

“It’s okay. Everyone else agreed. Right?”

“Ugh, yes!! Last night, when you were sleeping… We all talked together. Hehe.”

“… … ?”

And the four of them smiled at me.

Rinne’s comment that everything was discussed last night was a bonus.

… Talking? Four? What are you talking about?

I tilted my head to the side, not knowing why.

“What is that… .”

“That, and. There is such a thing as having a crush on a boy… ? Because we have to work hard, not you… !!”

“Linne is correct!!! This is because we failed to show our charm as members of the opposite sex!!!”

“So the warrior can stay still. I, we’ll take care of it.”

“… … … Huh?”

On the other hand, the four’s gazes began to become slightly strange again.

If I had to give a name to that complex and subtle gaze…

Wouldn’t ‘a look that looks like it’s going to eat you’ be appropriate?

A small amount of chicken skin appeared on my forearms.

“Why is everyone looking at me like that… ? Did I do something wrong… ?”

“… The little boy’s karma is truly deep and deep. Ugh.”

“Winter… ?”

As I was stroking my bulging forearm, Winter intervened.

Winter, standing behind me, opened her mouth.

In a complex and subtle voice half laughing and half worried.

“Hey, it’s you. Because the moment the little boy hates me, I will beat him to death. Take care of yourself.”

“Don’t worry about newbies. We’ll take care of it.”

“We don’t have to approach you first, so there’s no problem!!!”

“Tsk. I wonder if this is right… okay. The little one will take care of it. Cheer up.”

-chin. Pat pat pat.

But Winter left after saying a few words.

Putting your hand on my head and stroking it roughly is a bonus.

I was frozen for a moment, but then I suddenly came to my senses at the touch.

“What are you saying? What did you do yesterday without me knowing!?”

“Hehe. You don’t have to know, it’s okay. Accept my confession, until… ?”

‘I think I’ll be in big trouble if I don’t know… ‘It’s hard to ask questions now that you’ve brought up the topic of confession.’

“Ah, okay… ?”

I wanted to know what they all talked about yesterday when they gathered together, so I inquired.

However, the gaze of the companions did not change at all…

Just like that, the case of my infinite postponement of confession ended in vain.

What is it, really?

* * *

-Jjongal jjongal.

“It’s strange… I feel really uneasy… .”

Si-hyeon packs his bags, babbling non-stop.

There was compassion in Winter’s eyes.

‘… Cheer up, kid.’

The reason for that pity was no different.

Because, unlike him, who stayed up at night worrying like a boy who received a confession, she knew.

Last night, four other women got together and talked about what.

-Your wife, your wife, you were trying to hug the angel!!!!?

-You, this bird… .

-Calm down and listen. Anyway, everyone would know because they confessed… Whose confession do you think the hero will accept?

-Well, of course, I… !!

-Don’t play around. Earnestly.

-… Well, if it’s an angel. Either everyone accepts it, or no one accepts it… .

-indeed. Surely you deserve it, Savior.

-i think so too. Because the hero is unnecessarily nice. A monopoly would be impossible in the first place.

The four of them secretly gathered together under the leadership of Elizabeth, who came to confess that day.

The four of them stayed up all night talking about Sihyeon’s confession.

Since everyone vaguely knew Sihyeon’s feelings, there was no hesitation.

And, at the end…

-Ah, anyway, the angel is male… Is that okay, Your Highness?

-Believe me. Honestly, I was prepared to get slapped yesterday too, right? But the response was better than I expected.

-majesty. So, who was the first… ?

-How about first-come, first-served? ? Whoever captured it first… I’m good at persuading you… !

-Good. Instead, it is absolutely forbidden for us to do anything indecent to our savior. That’s sexual harassment and rape.

-It’s all natural, right… that… ?

-okay. then… Let’s do our best in the future, everyone.

‘… This is forming an alliance. They’re great bitches too.’

The four women who confessed to Sihyeon formed an alliance around him.

To make Sihyeon, who is in agony, happy. An alliance to be happy with him.

It was something that Winter couldn’t understand.

I can’t believe I’m even giving up my natural desire to be exclusive towards my partner.

How on earth do you do that because you love the other person?

She came out of the flashback and looked at the vision again.

-Jjongal jjongal.

“Also, everyone’s clothes are thin today… Ugh. Fools who don’t even know how cold it is… .”

‘Love, Ira… Come to think of it, I confessed too.’

When I saw Si-hyeon, who was objectively cute, a memory of our first meeting suddenly came to mind.

At that time, Winter said after eating the meat.

Why don’t you just marry me? I will make you happy for the rest of your life.

It was my first confession and proposal.

But what was the vision like?

Unlike what he did to them, he didn’t show any signs of shame or embarrassment.

Clearly, she didn’t say this because she liked him as a member of the opposite sex, but with the intention of protecting him.

My pride as a woman was a little hurt to see such a difference in the reactions to my confession.

A small sound of clicking one’s tongue rang out.

‘What on earth is love so much that you ignore this sister’s confession? They just make fun of me and call me mom and maman.’

“Tch.”

‘Now that I think about it again, I’m secretly pissed off?’

I didn’t think much of it at first, but gradually I became strangely annoyed.

That’s why she made a promise.

‘I don’t plan on being ugly like those bitches… As expected, I have to beat that bitch to death. To make the little boy see me again.’

I have no intention of taking Sihyeon away from them, but…

It hurts one’s pride to not be treated like a woman.

The fighting spirit to subdue the demon lord boiled over.

That was why I opened my mouth slightly impulsively.

“Hey, kid. How long does it take to get to the devil from here?”

“… what? Why is that suddenly?”

“Quickly catch that devil lord. I’ll have to see how strong it is. Like a woman.”

‘Really. Defeating the Demon Lord is like eating cake… .’

However, Sihyeon did not know Winter’s true intentions.

After sighing and thinking for a moment, ‘Even if he looks like that, he’s still a kid.’

The little finger was pointed towards the south.

“The Demon King Castle is just two weeks southeast from here… Unfortunately, I’m not going right away, right?”

“… what? Then where do you go?”

“Kingdom of Hohenstein. We talked about it yesterday in the first place, right? I decided to go armed from the treasure chest.”

At the fingertips is where Sihyeon’s adventure began.

The Kingdom of Hohenstein was established.

* * *

Two weeks after that.

Sihyeon and his party are in the capital of Hohenstein. Arrived in Vanberg.

“———I really hate you, you perverts!!!!!!”

“!!!!!!!?”

As soon as we arrived, the vision exploded.
