After retrying, it was back to the evening of day 1.

‘…God.’

Thanks to Catsy’s appearance, the worldview of this game was somewhat organized in my mind.

The contract stone that Katsy took out was completely identical to Karjen’s, with only a different color. Additionally, Katsy spoke as if she knew Karjen and used the expression ‘another guy’.

In other words, Karjen and Catsy belong to one race. Since they are nearly immortal and seem to have powerful powers, they will be treated as virtually divine beings.

If I had to give it a rough name, it would be a god race?

Anyway, the gods have contract stones, and through them they can make contracts with humans. Through this contract, it seems that power can be lent to humans, and it can also cause changes to the human body.

Chasher gained the ability to teleport through a contract with Catsey.

Until now, I thought that the ability to teleport was Cheshire’s gift, and that being able to hear emotions was just a gift from Cheshire, but in fact, it was actually Cheshire’s gift, and teleportation was something I just borrowed.

‘Then did Lufia also make a contract with the gods?’

One person cannot have two gifts. Until now, I just thought Lufia had a unique constitution, but it seems like there’s more to it that I don’t know about.

Come back again.

Ker would also have made a contract with the gods. It’s obvious that it has wolf ears and a tail, and that it displays tremendous power. In Ker’s strategy information, it is stated that it received power from a being who is worshiped as a wolf god.

Above all, this world is not reality, but a game. This means that it follows the settings made by humans.

Rather than two beastmen being transformed into beasts in completely different ways, wouldn’t it be more structured to have a divine race derived from animals exist and that they become beasts by making a contract with humans?

Of course, you can’t expect common sense in this crazy game, but at least if I were the developer, I would have set it up like this.

‘Then Karjen, Catsy, and the wolf god. These three are gods. There will be other guys too.’

In the end, what is important to me is the heroine strategy.

First of all, it is clear that resolving Catsy is the path to Cheshire’s strategy.

Additionally, if you can obtain Catsey’s soul, you can extract the Frost Witch from Azta’s body, so conquering Azta is also possible.

The problem is that I don’t know how to get this soul out. First of all, Katsy acted like it was in her heart, but we don’t know if that was real.

They also said that if the soul is intact, you won’t die. Doesn’t that mean that you will be resurrected even if you return to the spirit state? I managed to subdue him and extract his soul, but what if he resurrects and escapes by teleportation?

‘…Fuck.’

It’s so annoying.

Fucking cat bitch. Even though I think about how to use it, I can’t find an answer.

Catsy isn’t a heroine anyway, right? It seems like it would be a disaster if I kept it alive for no reason, so should I just destroy its soul?

‘……Let’s think about it later. First, we need to conquer Wonderland.’

I was about to lie down on the bed, ruminating over my head, when I heard a knock on the door.

right. Liza came to visit right after Retry.

“Haam… . I’m sleepy. My back hurts too.”

“It’s natural since I worked hard on my back until late at night. You’re stronger than you look, right? I was surprised.”

“Please refrain from saying anything that may be misleading.”

“What are you misunderstanding? I’m not sure?”

“…It’s done.”

The road to Marona’s realm with Liza. I’m biding my time by hanging out with Liza, who always gives me sex drips, until she arrives.

For your information, the fact that I worked hard on my back until late at night means that I moved a lot of heavy things last night while preparing a gift for Marona.

Everyone was keeping up with me until late at night, but it was a bit awkward for me to be alone, so I helped with a few bags and, sure enough, my muscles started to hurt.

Actually, there was no significant difference whether I helped or not, so I guess they would just suck it up.

“Anyway, it’s amazing to think about it again. That big thing has become so small… .”

“You’re talking about a gift, right?”

“Then of course.”

“It’s not that it got smaller, it’s that it was stored in.”

Skill ‘Inventory’ sold in stores. As the name suggests, it is a skill that stores desired items in subspace. The price is quite expensive at 6,000 points.

The reason why this seemingly useful skill has been kept aside is because it is also trash for its cost-effectiveness.

‘Does 6,000 points per square make sense?’

Upon initial purchase, only one inventory skill can be used by default. In order to increase the number of spaces, you have to spend an additional 6,000 points to strengthen your skills, but 6,000 points are not a luxury, and it is a waste to spend them just to increase one space.

However, it is unclear whether the inventory performance is good. First of all, there is a limit to the size of the items that can be contained, and there is also a weight limit. Additionally, living things cannot be stored there, and this includes living plants.

‘Fuck, yes. Plants are also living things. You’re a fucking developer.’

Normally, you would exclude plants, but you are very strict.

Anyway, the reason I purchased this inventory of cost-effective trash is because it would be very difficult to dispose of Marona without it. If it’s a consumable, I’ll try to avoid using it as much as possible, but since it’s a permanent skill, if I buy it, I’ll be able to use it again someday.

‘okay. ‘The money is there to be spent, right?’

[Point balance: 6,955]

‘Oh shit… .’

I tried to rationalize it by looking at my excessively thin balance, but it was no help.

“Kyaaa! oh my god. oh my god! It’s so nice to have a top-class man like this take care of you!”

Just like the last time I went to see Marona, I was obediently caught by the bees.

Marona, who still makes a fuss and likes it. I hope you like my surprise gift too.

Tuk-tuk-.

I started unbuttoning the short-sleeved shirt I was wearing. If I attacked from Marona for no reason, I would end up ingesting a lot of paralyzing poison and it would be annoying, so I planned to attack the player first.

“Hehe, you’re so proactive~. You can’t believe you have a crush on me, it’s like this~.”

As I began to take off my clothes on my own, Marona seemed to be unable to control her excitement and trembled in the sky.

“Oh, but I want to take off the packaging!”

Then he belatedly rushed over and started taking off my clothes himself.

The top was taken off, and just as Marona’s hand was about to go to the bottom, I raised my hand.

“Wait.”

“Huh~? What’s wrong~? Now it’s finally the live broadcast~?”

“I have a really cool gift for you.”

“Gift~? What is it~. Could it be that the gift is for me? Boy, I don’t know~.”

Marona is completely caught off guard. Of course. It has a body that doesn’t feel like it has any strength at all, and it was completely unarmed after being dragged by the bees.

That’s why Marona will be helpless with the gift I prepared.

‘Unstorage.’

A box as tall as me appeared next to Marona and me.

“? Suddenly, where… .”

While Marona was startled, I quickly covered my nose and mouth with the shirt I had taken off and jumped under the bed.

“This is–!?”

Marona must have smelled the smell coming from inside the box and quickly tried to run away, but it was already too late.

Kwahiah Ah Ah — !!!!

With a huge explosion, flames erupted and engulfed Marona.

‘You’re stronger than I thought?’

Although it was much weaker than the explosion that destroyed the Marona group in one blow in the previous war, the power of the explosives piled up roughly to my height was considerable.

In particular, because the bomb was modified and filled with flammable substances inside, the explosion itself was beyond imagination, but the flames that followed were even more amazing.

Anyway, due to the explosion, Marona disappeared without a trace, and the beehive was burning like a campfire.

‘Things were resolved easily because Marona was a pervert… .’

The problem is this:

First of all, the impact of the explosion was blocked by the shield, so it was not lost. But the flames that spread along with the explosion are burning everything around me.

Originally, I had planned to protect myself under the bed, but the shield’s range was extremely narrow, so the bed had disappeared as well. At this rate, it seemed certain that they would either be crushed by falling debris or burned by fire.

‘Fuck, you have to come on time.’

I squeezed myself into the gap that looked as good as I could and waited for Liza to be rescued.

“Zeek, come to your senses!”

“Wow… !”

I opened my eyes with a strong feeling of pressure in my chest.

Then I saw Liza with one hand on the center of my chest. She sighed in relief when I opened my eyes.

“Ha… . That’s too reckless… .”

“I guess it’s not too late.”

“It’s not too late!? You said that after knowing how dangerous Zeke was!?”

“I feel like I almost died… . Ugh… .”

As I took a breath, I felt pain in my chest. Is there a crack in the bone?

“Did you perform CPR?”

“Yes. Mr. Zeke was suffocating due to the smoke.”

Tok–.

Liza pokes my chest with her finger.

“I had a cardiac arrest and did chest compressions.”

Sigh –.

Next, he traced my lips with his finger.

“We saved him alive by meticulously administering artificial respiration.”

“Aha. thank you I believed it.”

“Ha… . really. Anyone who sees it will think you have ten lives.”

Liza shook her head and got up. Then he stretched out his hand as if to help me up. I held his hand and stood up with difficulty.

Maybe it’s because I just woke up after fainting, but I feel weak.

I looked around. Then I saw the still burning beehive. The surviving bees foolishly circled around the burning hive and fell to the ground. The wings had melted due to the heat.

“Is Marona dead?”

Liza asked incredulously.

“Probably so. If he was alive, he would have tried to kill us, right?”

“……Something feels empty.”

“The most ideal strategy is to make it so simple that it is absurd.”

“I see.”

Liza nodded slightly.

Then, as if he realized something was strange, he suddenly looked at me.

“After almost dying, simply… ?”

“Ah. Oh my.”

“What do you think of your life? Mr. Zeke?”

“Haha… .”

Liza’s nagging didn’t stop until we returned to base camp.

Well, anyway.

Marona cut.
