A few days have passed since the Paradise Bridge incident was concluded.

“This concludes the post-processing report for Paradise Church.”

Mariela organized the documents on the table and finished her long report.

“It was resolved quite neatly.”

“Is it clean..? Although it is thanks to the Prime Minister’s efforts… .”

Several knights died in this operation to suppress Paradise Church.

Since there was even a special article involved, it was an issue that could turn the empire upside down if one were to make a mistake.

But what kind of organization is the Management Bureau?

It is a place where the prime minister, the most powerful person in the empire, is at the back.

In particular, thanks to the recent insertion of the head of the National Defense Bureau into the Prime Minister’s line, the power structure was tilted towards the Prime Minister, so the incident was able to be covered up in a neat manner.

“The dead knights are treated as if they were sent on an expedition to the East Continent, and later, they are treated as if they died during the operation… . It sounds plausible when you just say it, but it doesn’t change the fact that the knights died as a group, so eventually there will be a lot of talk about the qualifications of the knights.”

“I guess so. But it has nothing to do with us. It’s the Defense Bureau’s responsibility.”

“That’s right.”

Anyway, it doesn’t matter because it’s not my responsibility.

Robben will have a hard time, but he will only be punished for starting the coup now.

” Paradise Church is over now. How is Aslen doing?”

“Mr. Aslen still hasn’t recovered from the shock. The medical director is in charge of treatment, so it won’t take long, but I don’t think I’ll be able to see you right away.”

“Hmm… .”

After clearing up the Church of Paradise, I tried to contact the people who recorded it.

Time flew by vaguely.

“Are there things I need to deal with?”

“…There are many things I can help you with, but there is nothing that the director needs to solve.”

“Okay. Then I can just do my own thing.”

I opened the system window and looked at the notes.

There were various things written in the ‘memo for tomorrow’s me’, which records things that need to be done someday.

While going through the notes, I found one thing that caught my eye.

Find the Power Stone of Purification that Fran requested in the previous route.

Franc’s strategy has already been completed, so there is no need to listen.

However, the power stone that can purify demon energy is valuable enough in itself, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to look for it.

“Mariella, there is one item you need to find? Please pass this on to the Ministry of Information.”

“What is it?”

“It is the power stone of purification. The name probably doesn’t have any particular meaning, but it is a round gem the size of a fist that has the power to purify demon energy.”

“…Is this O-Parts again?”

“That’s right. It’s Oparts again.”

Oparts. It refers to substances with mysterious powers that fit the fantasy worldview.

Of course, it’s not a real word in this world, I just call it that for convenience.

“If you can purify demonic energy… . Does St. Mary’s Church have it?”

“I think that’s probably true. I’m not sure, but.”

“It is difficult for St. Mary’s Church to collect information… . As a rough estimate, it is likely that it will take more than half a year. Is it still okay?”

“Hmm… . That takes too long.”

Is it true that the current intelligence department cannot penetrate the Holy Mother Church?

Well, they are nobles who have erased all past records, so I wonder if they can’t properly manage even their own confidential information.

In particular, it is clear that the Power Stone of Purification is treated almost as a holy object and is carefully managed.

“Then shall we strengthen the intelligence department now?”

“Are you saying you are recruiting additional people?”

“No. We don’t hire. I don’t want to hear Tanya nagging.”

We are already in a situation where we are short on budget, and if we just hire people, our finance director will be in trouble.

“Banshee will collaborate with the Intelligence Department.”

“Are you a banshee..?”

Mariela opened her eyes wide.

It’s surprising.

Mariela was also watching from the side to see what kind of shit the banshee was doing to me.

However, Banshee and Veronica’s strategy was 100% complete.

This means that Veronica and her clones have become obedient and docile sheep.

It also means that Banshee’s overwhelming information network is all mine.

“The banshee is now obediently following my words. Of course, you can’t be completely safe, but at least you won’t do anything harmful.”

“…In the end, it went down to Banshee.”

“Once you become a pixie, it is your destiny.”

As I put on a confident expression, Mariela glanced at me and sighed.

“How are you going to handle it? .”

“Huh? What?”

“It’s nothing.”

Mariela looked at me and shook her head.

I lay down on the sofa in the director’s office and looked through the notepad.

Since it was a notepad where I ignorantly recorded things that came to mind, there were a lot of things that were really messy and useless.

At this point, I wanted to organize things, so I deleted things that had already been resolved or didn’t need to be done, and it became quite neat.

After that, I selected a few of the remaining contents and posted them to the top of the notepad.

Find the two remaining heroines.

Find out how to conquer Rusk.

Give a reward to Ker.

Lion Award.

Go see Azta.

‘There must be a lot.’

Finding the remaining heroines will come by itself when the time comes, and it will be more efficient to focus on the heroines you currently have rather than adding more heroines.

In that sense, I deleted the item to find the two remaining heroines.

Rusk’s strategy search is currently underway.

If you contact those who record through Aslen and learn about the Lord of War, you might be able to get something.

Giving an award to Kerr is problematic in many ways.

What the dog wants most is to mate.

Since it’s a human body, it’s probably not like it’s in heat, so why does it keep singing a mating song to me?

Is it because there is no estrus, so it is in estrus all year round?

‘It’s okay to do it in itself… . The problem lies after that.’

Since I’ve taken off my bachelor label, there’s no need for Rupiah to catch me.

I don’t know how this is possible, but Rupiah can determine whether I am pure.

Therefore, if I offered my virginity to a woman other than Rupiah, the route was practically ruined, and I had to work hard to protect my virginity by force.

But since Lufia took that virginity, now there is no way for her to know who I was hanging out with.

I can confirm this because I personally checked it on a previous route.

So there is no problem with doing it with Ker.

But there is no way that the soft-spoken and naive Ker could keep a secret.

I can’t do it because it’s obvious that once I do it, they’ll make endless demands.

‘Should I just pass it on?’

Since it happened anyway with the retry, there is no big problem if we just ignore it.

But it keeps popping up in my head.

The image of Ker carrying me, frozen and out of breath, from the North Continent.

Kerr’s arms and legs were shaking, but his face was smiling as if he was okay.

‘I’ve become really emotional too.’

It’s proof that the human side is being revived, so it’s probably a good thing.

It’s coming back to life, right?

Anyway, I can’t just ignore it.

But we can’t just give in to what Ker wants… .

‘Why don’t we just play all day?’

That alone will please Ker enough.

Next is Leon’s statue.

What Leon wants is a date, and I think the timing would be perfect if he goes out in the morning and comes back before evening.

It seems like Rion doesn’t want something grandiose, but just wants to have fun like normal girls of her age. If you get along well, you’ll be fine.

‘I’m so glad Leon is normal.’

If it were other heroines, we wouldn’t have been able to have a date downtown like this.

I don’t really want to go on a date, but when I’m with Leon, it feels like I’m playing a game of ignorance, so it’s refreshing.

But I know.

None of the heroines in this game are normal.

There’s definitely a ‘landmine’ hidden in Rion.

I’m not fooled anymore.

To this crazy game and to the heroines.

In a corner of my mind, I closed the notepad, hoping that there were no landmines for Leon.

After finishing my coffee break, I returned home from work.

I left work earlier than usual because I have to go see Azta tomorrow.

You have to go as early as possible so you can catch it in the warm noon time.

I opened the door.

Immediately after that, Daisy came running from inside the house and hugged me.

I hugged Daisy tightly and stroked her head.

And beyond the slightly opened door, I saw Ariel kneeling down and bowing.

‘He’s doing that again.’

A leash of servitude, an item that seals all superhuman powers, including the gift of the wearer.

This is a fraud item that can turn any character in the game into an ordinary person.

Of course, commensurate with its performance, it is also the most expensive item in the store, worth 50,000 points.

Anyway, Ariel lost her gift due to the leash of servitude, and now she is just an ordinary woman, weaker than me.

Furthermore, since she now had no means of resisting me, the irresistible absolute domination she had longed for was achieved, and she became a slave bitch loyal to me.

“Welcome, master.”

Ariel bows with her head down on the floor.

The modest maid uniform that was originally provided has been modified and the level of exposure has been significantly increased, so there is a lot of skin color here and there.

Cook, cook.

Daisy, who was in my arms, pressed her fingers against my body.

– I think she’s a little strange.

It’s beyond weird, she’s crazy.

Because you’re lying face down in that outfit in front of the kid.

Originally, the helpless Ariel was locked in a general isolation room.

However, the slave continued to protest in his own way, insisting that he should stay by his master’s side, starting to harm himself, and not even eating properly.

In the end, I had no choice but to bring Ariel home.

One way would be to just tie her up and force-feed her, but in this game, you shouldn’t treat the heroine that way.

The reason is because of the fucking hidden number called ‘satisfaction’.

Satisfaction is a number that indicates how satisfied the heroines are with their lives.

Each heroine has their own desired life.

It may not be possible to achieve that life perfectly, but if the minimum standards are not met, the heroine’s satisfaction steadily decreases.

Olivia was allowed to experiment partly because her genius brain was useful, but it was more to satisfy her.

The reason why Kuen is provided with toys on a regular basis, the reason why the staff walks Ker every day, the reason why Lily goes on magical girl activities once a week, and the reason why the Management Bureau was established to make all of this possible.

It’s all for this damn ‘satisfaction’.

Since I can’t check it on the system, I don’t know if it’s a number that actually exists.

However, there were many cases where the game was ruined when proper aftercare was not provided for the heroines who had completed the strategy.

We roughly call it satisfaction and are paying attention to managing it.

‘Even after the fucking strategy is over, you have to keep managing it. ‘Fuckin’ game.’

In any case, it was obvious that if Ariel was just quarantined, her satisfaction level would plummet, so I had no choice but to bring her home.

It would have been useful if the strategy had been completed with at least the ability maintained.

The current Ariel has no gifts, no strength, and has no ability to survive as she has lived as a slave all her life.

Literally a pretty-looking piece of trash that doesn’t know how to do anything.

That is the current Ariel.

Unfortunately, I entrusted the training to Bir, but he said that just staying still would help, so I told him I was giving up.

I think I didn’t want to be left alone, so I tried my best to think of a way to help myself.

“I am your slave. Please use me as you please.”

The conclusion I reached was that I would sacrifice my body.

Because literally all I have is my body.

‘I have a child, look at the talking tail.’

What on earth should I do with that crazy bitch?
