Chapter 489 – The Hunter Realizes He Has Been Tricked

#

When Lennie returned to his room, his mind was spinning.

The long story about the world that he shared with the goddess had many parts that were at odds with Lenny’s knowledge.

The demon god was not the counterpart to the goddess.

The church had never even heard of the existence of foreign media invading the world.

How could one not know about such a huge event? Lennie’s head was full of confusion and questions.

But on the other hand, there were questions that were resolved.

Why doesn’t divine power work for demons?

Lennie finally realized it.

In the Goddess religion, demons were said to be enemies, but demons were also descendants of goddesses. So, divine power will also work in the same way.

“…”

Lenny had goosebumps on the back of his neck.

What Lennie heard is something that should not be revealed anywhere.

This is truly a heretical idea that cannot be rejected or rejected. It was something that couldn’t have been overlooked if Lennie wasn’t present at the scene. It was a history that only those who experienced it directly could understand.

Lennie thought he had to stop other people from joining. It was very clear that if these words got out anywhere, Lennie’s group would be accused of heresy. Even Lenny would have thought that right now.

And there was nothing Leni could do to stop it. Although Lennie had powerful divine powers, he was still a small-time citizen.

No, it is not a matter of small citizens, but something that would be judged heresy even if the archbishop said the same thing. It was clear that unless the goddess herself descended on the entire world, unless everyone had the same experience, it would be like that.

The good news is that the inspector general sided with Lenny and his group.

Lenny knows that the inspector general’s attitude is not just a lie to get out of a situation.

No matter how much she resented the goddess, she could not help but be influenced by such an experience.

I could understand that Leni did not have any resentment towards the goddess.

Even trainees who were less faithful than Lenny gained more divine power. Why did the goddess subject Lenny to such endless trials and despair?

But Lennie no longer resented the goddess.

Lenny was able to see herself through the eyes of her goddess, just as Serena did.

In that gaze, there was clearly also an arrangement for myself to use him.

Deep gratitude and fulfillment.

“…”

But on the other hand, an unidentifiable feeling of anxiety still remained in my heart.

Lenny thought carefully about where his anxiety came from and was soon able to find the answer.

She said, ‘She said the Goddess had no intention of bestowing her divine power.’

She was a goddess and her words had implications.

Holy power is the power granted to suppress fragments. So, if the fragment disappears one day, do you intend to take back the power you gave me?

-Gulp.

Lennie’s face turned pale. Just thinking about it made Leni feel her heart sink.

If that happens, Lenny…

“…”

It will be in the distant future.

The Goddess talked about the invasion of the fragments as if it had happened a few days ago, but it was so old that there were no records left in the Goddess Church.

Likewise, completely destroying the fragments would also take an unimaginable amount of time.

But somehow Lennie’s uneasy premonition did not go away.

‘It’s my mood…’

-Knock.

A knock on the door interrupted Lennie’s thoughts. He didn’t come. Lennie could distinguish the sound of his knocking.

“Yes?”

When Leni opened the door, Yuri was standing in front of it.

“Are you busy now?”

“No, I’m not particularly busy… Please come in.”

Yuri came in smiling brightly.

But there is something strange about it. Lennie felt a sense of déjà vu. That face is clearly the expression that appears when Yuri is thinking about something useless…

“What were you doing?”

“Just thinking… Is something going on?”

“Hmm. No, just. “I thought we could talk for a moment.”

Yuri said, putting down a bottle of alcohol and two glasses on the table.

“Oh, that’s…”

“Is it because your mouth is bored? I’m so hectic today that I can’t sleep. So I sneak out of the kitchen to have a drink, you know?”

Lennie suppressed a sigh. The mansion is in shambles, and even though you can’t help, you’re playing with your hands.

Lenny shook his head.

“I don’t really…”

“Are you okay. You just don’t have to drink it. “Wouldn’t it be a bit weird if I were the only one following along?”

Yuri skillfully poured two glasses, took a sip, and then immediately opened her mouth.

“I have a question.”

Yuri asked without any hesitation. What happened earlier was really the descent of the goddess, or if what he said was true. He didn’t go to church, but he didn’t understand because it was the first time he had heard it in his life.

“No, it’s not that I don’t go because I’m ungodly, it’s just that there’s no church, right? There are only ruined churches. But does that all have meaning in the first place? But this is my first time hearing about that.”

Lennie also had doubts about Yuri’s point.

The remaining churches throughout the mountain range were built in the form of blocking dungeons. It was not built without meaning, but was built to prevent debris from encroaching.

But why was there no such record left in the church?

Did the goddess herself tell her not to spread the word?

It didn’t seem likely.

He said that the Goddess does not want to interfere with the underworld.

Then why? How? Can it be forgotten simply because time passes? Something this important?

Lennie’s doubts grew bigger and bigger. This is not just a story about a forgotten church. Lennie had never heard of anything like debris.

The war with the demon god, the sealing of the moon, the eternal war taking place in the east.

Nothing matched the explanation given by the church. As if there was intentional distortion.

Why?

Lenny answered in one word.

“I don’t know…”

“Hmm…”

Yuri narrowed his eyes. Leni felt Yuri sigh with his eyes. It’s not Lennie’s fault!

“Well, it’s not just me who doesn’t know, other people probably don’t know either!”

“Yeah, well, you might not know because you’re a rank priest.”

“It’s not like I don’t know because I’m a rank priest! There is no such story in the denomination itself! Don’t you think the inspector doesn’t know?!”

Yuri shrugged her shoulders, sipped her glass, and changed her subject.

“She said that girl was really weird. Why was she crying like that?”

“That’s…”

Apparently, Yuri had not had a similar experience to Lennie. Is it because she doesn’t have divine powers?

Lenny told Yuri about Serena’s position and repentance, but Yuri soon became bored with her questions.

“… I don’t know. “I just thought something big had happened, but that’s it?”

No matter how much you don’t have faith, you have this much lack of respect, really…

“That’s enough. Rather, there is that. “That.”

“That?”

“What did you say? Skill sharing?”

There was that too. Skill sharing. Borrowing his abilities.

“Who will do that?”

“Hmm…”

Sharing of abilities.

He had jumped out earlier, but when he thought about it, it didn’t mean much to Lennie. Where on earth can he use his abilities?

“…”

But I want to receive it.

I don’t get it because I need it. It is what he gives, so I want to receive it.

You don’t have to be the first, but you still want to be the first.

But Lennie acted resolute. Since his wife was Lenny anyway, there was no need for him to make unnecessary noise.

“… I don’t really care. “I will always be by Eugene’s side.”

“Hmm. Doesn’t care? “Then I guess we can assume that her sister can take a backseat for now?”

“Not really!”

She will leave it up to his choice, but she has no intention of backing down voluntarily.

She had already received a lot, but that didn’t mean her greed went away. The desire to be always first never went away.

“!”

Lennie suddenly had an epiphany.

Could it be that the goddess gave Lenny such an ordeal because he was so greedy? Should she let go of her greed?

That could never be possible.

Yuri looked at Leni and sipped from her glass.

Aren’t you drinking too much?

Lennie tried to stop her glass, but she stopped. Somehow the contents of her drink didn’t seem to diminish. It seems like he is managing it on his own.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a while. That skill sharing thing. “Don’t you think that picky butler would use it?”

“Yes?”

“Is that so? “I need to suppress that succubus, but my brother can’t always be here, so it makes sense to give it to the butler.”

“So… But… That’s also true…”

Lennie was downcast. She’s definitely making the right statement, but I think she’d be a bit disappointed if that were to happen.

Yuri quietly leaned against her.

“You know. A little. Don’t you feel like you’re neglecting us these days? “I was just talking about that elf.”

“… Yujin, you just know what your priorities are.”

“But still. Of course, you have to give it to us first, right? Could it be that the elves are intentionally conspiring to pretend to be difficult? “I could have just gone there like a fool, right?”

“Don’t say such bad things.”

Lennie knows. Her elves had no such cunning. Yuri didn’t seem to really mean what he said.

But still, a feeling of frustration remained somewhere in the back of my mind.

“Hmm.”

Yuri raised his glass again.

As she continued to sip in front of her, Lennie seemed to be thirsty for some reason.

Lennie lifted her glass and took a sip.

“Haa…”

A small sigh comes out. She’s tried drinking a few times, but she can’t get used to it.

But perhaps it was Yuri’s taste, her drink was quite sweet. Maybe that’s why I didn’t feel that bad. There was a reason why Yuri continued to sip.

Yuri’s eyes sparkled as she watched Leni raise her glass again.

“How is it? Is it worth drinking?”

“Whew… It seems okay…”

“So…?”

‘Is it always like this? Was it like this originally? Is it happening now?’ Yuri tilted her head and muttered.

“Hmm… How should I start… Just raise your hands up. Both up.”

“?”

What is there? Lenny lifted both her hands up without thinking. When Yuri saw that, she swallowed her saliva.

“Hey, you have to stay still from now on. No matter what I do. Okay?”

“…? “Why?”

“Well, there is such a thing!”

Why is it like that? Leni, whose mind had been dulled by several drinks, could not perceive the intention of her glass.

Yuri suddenly came in front of her and grabbed Lennie’s breasts with both of her hands.

“Wow?! “What are you doing?”

“Huh?!”

-Padadak.

Lennie stepped back from her and cupped her breasts with both of her hands. Absurdly, it was Yuri who was embarrassed.

“Oh, no, it’s not that, it’s something… Yeah. Forget it! Forget what just happened. Got it?!”

“What are you talking about?!”

“…”

Yuri, who was looking at Leni blankly, lowered her head and muttered.

“Yes, it was like that, I thought there was something strange, but it was stolen. Yeah, it seemed like that for some reason. What? Medicine to be honest? I wondered where they got that, but it turned out they stole something from me! “My hypnotic drug!”

Leni had no idea what Yuri was talking about. What is important is Yuri’s actions.

“!”

Lennie was astonished.

When she thought back, it seemed like Yuri sometimes gave her a sticky look. Yuri is lusting after Lennie! Her slightly drunk head encouraged her delusion.

“As expected, I have that desire for me!”

“What? No!”
