Chapter 183 – The Temple

You neglected Seris on the excuse that I’m busy these days. I thought that when I looked at Celis’ shoulders, which were weak and drooping.

Usually she is the one who reluctantly gives up even though she smacks her lips like she’s sorry when I say I’m tired. But today was different. Even though she said I was tired, she ran over me regardless.

That means her patience has reached a critical point.

Until that state was reached, Celis had endured without a word. She goes beyond the level of having a lot of libido, the level of gurgling, that’s what she says. That fact made me feel sorry and thank you again.

‘Coming to think of it, she has a lot to be thankful for, Ceris.’

Seris, since the day we first met her, she has always been by my side.

Not only when I was happy, but also when everything was immature and the road ahead was uneasy, or when I was almost killed by falling into a trap set by monsters, even when it was difficult.

Perhaps this was not the life she wanted.

Because the life Seris dreamed of was a moderately happy and stable life. It was a life she could make if she put her mind to it.

To put it bluntly, the main quest or the subjugation of the demon lord are all my own affairs, nothing to do with her. Even if she was mentioned in her quest, she didn’t even penalize herself.

She could have eaten and lived well by ignoring me and taking advantage of her extraordinarily beautiful appearance.

But Seris didn’t. She stood next to me as if it were natural and walked the thorny road with me.

Just for the reason that I love you.

I reached out and gently patted her back.

Long silver hair tickling the back of her hand.
The soft skin and narrow waist felt in the palm of her hand.
Her reaction, pretending not to know but flinching and subtly guiding my hand.
It is so lovely.
How can such a lovely woman be my lover?

A soggy desire for exclusiveness boils over.
I want to lock myself up so no one can see me, only see me, touch me, and feel me alone.
But knowing that it couldn’t be the case, I let it go with a laugh.
I loved her too much to be swayed by her lowly desires.

I finally decided to hold her in her arms and calm her simmering lust for exclusivity.

It was when she reached out her arms to hug her from behind.

“Yes? The Heavenly Demon’s Chinese Medicine?”

The muttering of Seris’s voice flowed into my ears. I was stunned to the point where I couldn’t breathe, and I just stiffened.

A cold feeling rose from the back of her neck.
It seems that a person who shouldn’t have said a word that shouldn’t have been said.

‘I must have heard it wrong.’

They must be wrong.

When her hand that had been stroking her back stopped, Seris, sensing her strangeness, turned around behind her.

A look of sorrow.

The uneasiness that had been forcibly subdued began to blaze like a fire with wood.

Oh god please

I opened my heavy lips praying for a miracle to happen.

“Ceris, what did you just say? Heavenly Demon… What..?”

Seris’ reaction to him was immediate.

“Ah… Well, that, actually… Technology… Yeah, it’s a new name. What is Chinese drinking in the room… It’s done in the room…”

He rolled his eyes in a cold sweat and spoke gibberish.

“…”

I overturned the blanket that covered me and blocked my vision, and it made a crackling sound.

I hurriedly put away the blanket and ran after him, but I was already one step behind. She ran into an empty room and locked the door.

Bang bang!

“Seris! Door! Open the door!”

He knocked on the door and shouted. Doing this while Seris was agitated might backfire, but I didn’t have time to even bother with that right now.

They say it’s the Heavenly Demon’s Chinese medicine, damn it.

It’s not just Chinese medicine, but ‘Cheonma’ Chinese medicine.

How do you stay sane?

-Mo, I can’t open it..! Never open it!

“Why? Why can’t I open it?!”

-Yooseong, you’re angry!

“I’m not angry… I’m not angry. So open the door huh?”

-Do not lie! You can feel it all in your voice. I will sleep in this room today.

Seris’ voice was firm.
At this rate, I really thought I would fall asleep in my room, so I stopped knocking on the door.
Ok let’s calm down There’s nothing to be excited about.
What should I do first?
That, of course, would prevent Seris from learning the Heavenly Demon’s Meditation.

She swallowed the saliva in her mouth and opened her mouth as heavy as gold. She calmed down her exasperated voice and spoke calmly.

“Serris, I’m sorry I got excited. Let me ask you one thing. Did I just hear right? Is it true that you muttered that it was the Heavenly Magic Meditation?”

-…

“Seris? I beg you, so please answer me. Seris?”

At my urging, Celis reluctantly answered through the door.

-…That’s right.

Damn this.
I hoped not.
I held on tightly to my fading spirit.

“Seris…”

-Yes…

“How did you find out about the Cheonma Bang Middle School?”

First of all, it is important how she found out that it was Cheonma Bangjusul. Until now, only I could see the status window, but there was no guarantee that it would be like that in the future.

In particular, Seris is an important person enough to be directly mentioned by her status window. Now she came and it was no wonder that she could see in her eyes.

– No, that’s… I mean… Ah! Okay! Heavenly Demon God! What is that, when the Heavenly Demon Spirit has reached a certain level, the feeling has risen!

It doesn’t look like a status window.

“Have you got a feeling?”

-Yes! It just feels like the Heavenly Demon Goddess is going to teach you something..?

The Heavenly Demon Goddess is teaching you? It was a statement as if the Heavenly Demon Goddess could be a person of some kind.
Of course that can’t be the case, and I think I’m on the verge of realizing something…

‘Ceris gained an enlightenment that even I had never attained?’

I think I must have worked harder in training.
Is it a difference in talent? Or the difference between learned martial arts?
Was it possible to obtain Chinese medicine only through enlightenment?

I shook my head immediately after thinking such a useless thought.

That’s not what’s important now.

“Seris. Didn’t you say that it seemed like the Heavenly Demon Goddess would teach you?”

-Yes!

“So you’re saying you haven’t learned yet?”

-Uh…Isn’t it?

“Then don’t learn.”

-…Yes?

A voice I couldn’t understand. I said emphatically.

“Don’t learn about Heavenly Magical Medicine. Forget it. Erase it from your mind as if it never existed.”

I’m glad you haven’t learned yet. If I had learned, I would have been a stallion exclusively for Seris.
If you squeeze every day like a stallion, your stamina will decrease and your fatigue will increase. You will automatically become lazy and you will spend each day carefree. Then, in the end, you will not be able to clear the main quest, and you will face the ending where your head is cut off by the devil.
Just imagining it is terrifying.

It was just when I was about to sigh in relief.

-No, I do not want..!

Crisis has come again. Seris began to be stubborn.
The heartbeat, which had returned to normal, started beating wildly again.

“You don’t like it…? What do you mean by Seris?”

-I… I’m going to learn Cheonma Bangjujutsu. I will learn and beat Yoosung in bed..!

At her words, I was momentarily at a loss for words.

“The only reason you want to learn Chinese martial arts is… Because you want to win in bed?”

– Only?! How important is this! Yoosung wins every day, so you wouldn’t know! It’s because I’m always under the floor and whimpering!

“No what…”

– I also want to win. I want to see Yoosung roll her eyes out while crying under me!

My head gets dizzy. Did Celis really say that? Probably not. She’s so excited she doesn’t even know what she’s talking about.

I guess I have to look at her face and say it in order to stop her.

“Open the Seris door. Let’s talk for a minute.”

– The conversation is still going on.

“You have to look at her face to have a real conversation. Huh? Open the door.”

-I’m fine. I still think the conversation is going well.

“Do you want to open the door?”

-No, I do not want.

“Open the door!”

Thump thump!!

I knocked hard on the door, but I didn’t want it to work, so I bumped into my body. Somehow, her Heavenly Demon’s visit to China must be stopped. Even if the door of the new house is smashed.

– Hick?!

Seris’s frightened voice.
Every time I hit the door, the rebound I felt got stronger. Perhaps Seris on the other side is blocking her door with her body.

I spurred on the torso slam even more.

-Yoo, Mr. Yooseong! Calm down. Calm down and let’s talk calmly? Yes?!

“The time when we could have ended with a conversation has already passed, Seris.

“Oh, noisy! Let’s get some sleep!!”

“If you don’t want Ariel to be beaten, shut up and go in.”

“…”

Ariel, who had come out to protest with her eyes wide open, quietly went back into her room.

-Mr. Yooseong, please calm down,,!!!

“Open the door! Then it works!!”

Seris and I continued the battle without making any concessions.

Yurmia school.
It is a religion that enshrines Eurmia, the goddess of family and peace, as an object of faith. Its dignity is great as more than one-third of the continent’s population believes in religion.

“You’re back. So how is it?”

Archbishop Arian looked at the priest standing respectfully in front of him and asked. The priest was the one who had recently gone to investigate after receiving a report that there were signs of demonic hardening in Kromoa, one of the cities of the Fromm Kingdom.

He said with a dark expression.

“In conclusion, Ma Kyung-hwa was right.”

“Okay, is that so…”

The archbishop sighed as he touched his forehead.
Demon scene.
It refers to the land where demons who were defeated in the war 500 years ago were driven. A land where sunlight does not reach and rain does not fall, so life cannot survive.
According to tradition, the energy of the holy goddess does not reach the Devil’s Palace, so even the wicked energy is strong.

Magyunghwa refers to the contamination of an ordinary land with a special land such as a demonic mirror.

That the demonic hardening is now taking place within the jurisdiction of the archbishop. The archbishop could only breathe deeply.

However, the priest’s report was not over yet.

“However, what I looked at was a little different from what was written in the report.”

“Different? Please tell me correctly.”

The archbishop asked with a glimmer of hope, but what awaited him was hopeless information.

“Contrary to reports that it was found only in villages near cities, the range of horse racing is quite extensive. As a result of investigating the neighborhood of Chromoa, hardening was progressing in a large circular state centered on Chromoa.”

After that, the priest left the archbishop’s classroom after reporting that the horse hardening was still in progress, and that the giant tree that came in contact with the ground where the horse hardening was progressing withered rapidly.

The Archbishop grabbed his head in the Archbishop’s classroom, where he was left alone, frowned, and eventually stood up.

Yeah, I’m glad I figured it out now.

Because the saintess is here now.

The archbishop descended the stairs and headed for his prayer room.
In the center of it was a saintess kneeling in front of a stone statue of Eurmia, with her hands folded, offering her prayers.
She spent all her time here praying except for her meals and sleep.

His sincerity was such that even the archbishop stuck out his tongue. Well, it must be that you are loved by the goddess.

He deliberately patted his feet and walked toward the saintess.

“Are you Archbishop Arran?”

The saintess did not change her prayer posture, she said.

“Yes, Lady. I’m sorry to interrupt your prayers, but I have something to tell you…”

“Is it about the demon hardening that occurred in Chromoa?”

“…Did you know?”

“Yurmia-sama told me directly.”

“…!”

Archbishop Arnhan froze. The goddess speaks directly to her seed. It’s an oracle soon. As far as he knew, there was no seal that a saintess had accepted her oracle and ended up doing something light.

He opened his trembling lips and asked.

“What words did the goddess leave for the saintess..?”

“The foolish heretics are trying to awaken the wicked, so he said to stop it. So, Archbishop Arran, please prepare.”

“If you say ready..?”

“It is a holy war (holy war).”

Archbishop Ar Ann felt his mind wander.
