Chapter 558 – Luck and Oaths

000

“Ugh… I’m sorry, Cleon…”

As she trudged down her long hallway, Amelia was apologizing to Cleon with her tears in her eyes.

I never thought I’d fall and take off Cleon’s pants.

Cleon’s self-esteem was slightly shaken when he showed rudeness in front of a child 10 years younger than himself, but it must be that he is an adult who does not lose his composure here.

“No… It’s okay, it could be because it’s a mistake.”

When her Cleon her speaks to her like that, smiling bitterly at her, Amelia feels the remorse of her conscience her at her words her.

The lip smacking that happened when she opened her eyes and lifted her face, and Cleon’s underwear she unknowingly looked at.

Both of them, something that would normally not happen, suddenly started to happen.

[That is the power of increased love luck.]

[Is that so…]

Amelia let out a sigh at the voice of the romance genius coming from inside her.

[Why are you sighing? Aren’t you supposed to like it? If this is the case, the relationship with Cleon will surely be able to make rapid progress!]

[I think it’s rather counterproductive… Is this really love luck…? What more should I say…]

As Amelia grunted and grunted inwardly, she was contemplating a different current situation than she thought—

[Are you hoping for a development like a sweet and bitter love novel?]

[Oh, can’t I?]

Amelia asked herself as if she was a little unfair.

Then, she couldn’t even say anything and um… And she seemed to be choosing her words for an answer.

Of course, she is Amelia herself, and the answer is fixed in her heart her, but she approaches it a little differently.

[But… You did it because of Nemea-sama’s blessing to increase your love luck, right? A kiss with Cleon.]

[Keit!?”

When what was on her mind her slipped out of her mouth her involuntarily, Amelia closed her mouth with her hands.

“Why…? Amelia.”

Somehow, while thinking that something similar had happened on the way here, when Cleon asked that question, Amelia laughed awkwardly and shook her head.

“Ah, no, that… That’s, ah! Kk, Cleon is really tall~”

To Amelia’s incoherent excuses, Cleon responded…? And she showed a slightly agitated face.

[Didn’t you come up with a better excuse…?]

[It’s all because of you!]

Inside, Amelia blames another herself.

To Amelia, Cleon speaks while showing her bitter smile her.

“Amelia will definitely grow bigger too. Amelia who transforms into magic is bigger than Sasha.”

At Cleon’s words of her, Amelia said, “Ahaha…” And nodded her head, saying she was glad that somehow she was not strange.

[It’s not that long ago that Cleon has grown this much, either.]

Then Galatea opened her mouth, and Cleon looked down at his sword and shrugged her shoulders.

“Poke people where they hurt…”

[Because it’s a magic sword. Stabbing is special.]

“Under.”

Cleon laughed at Galatea’s giggling words of her.

[Even such a Galatea will become smaller than Amelia when her magic power her runs out ~]

[Ha!? I’m still taller than him!?]

“No, I remember it being small…”

When even Cleon sided with Caliburn, Galatea shut her mouth for a moment, then she returned to her human form and clung to Cleon.

“Sorry, I was wrong, Cleon~!”

“Ugh… Okay… Let me walk normally.”

Even at Cleon’s words her, she wraps her own arm around his her arm and clings to her stickyly, as if she can’t win her her Galatea her, and Cleon accepts her even with her troubled expression her.

As she watched from the sidelines, a voice rang once more in Amelia’s head.

[Can you see? That is the movement of the love strongman. When the opportunity arises, he clings to it and appeals with his weapon… All I can say is that it’s great.]

At Amelia’s actions her in her head her, which quietly clapped her hands while praising her Galatea, Amelia let out a moan, saying “Ugh…”.

Then, Schrödinger, who was being held down by Galatea clinging to her, escapes from Cleon’s pocket and moves onto Amelia’s head her.

“Hey. I think the princess is in a bad mood because the two of you get along so well.”

“What!? It’s not like that!”

Amelia suddenly grabbed the body of Schrödinger, who was saying strange things, and pulled him straight on both sides of her.

“Aaaaagh! Jji, tearing up!”

“Well, then… Like this…?”

Amelia crushes Schrödinger, who is screaming like that, this time with both hands, as if squeezing her.

“This time, the inner core is broken…”

Cleon looks at the suffering Schrödinger as if he is self-employed.

When Schrödinger, who is trying to escape by somehow spreading her wings her, uses her full power her, Amelia unknowingly moves her feet her as if being dragged there.

Naturally, the steps get weird, and Amelia tries to let him go, but her foot gets her caught on a rock on the ground.

“Aww…!”

When Amelia, unbalanced, tries to fall forward like that-

Cleon quickly grabs hold of the arm of her, but-

“Help me-!”

And the Schrödinger came out of Amelia’s hand and flew straight into Cleon’s face her.

“Keugh!”

No matter how Cleon was, it was difficult to counter an unexpected attack, and when his vision her was momentarily blocked by pain, his body her lost balance and fell forward as if being dragged by Amelia’s body her.

Cleon collapsed forward with a loud sound.

When the dust rose, Galatea, who had fallen from Cleon’s arms for fear of getting entangled and falling, was to look at the scene with a startled face, covering his mouth her.

“Ugh…”

A moment passes, and Amelia tries to somehow come to her senses her and get her body her back from the situation where she fell dizzy like dominoes.

“Wow…”

Along with the unfamiliar smell of her, she gently opened her eyes to the feeling that something wide and hard was covering her face her …

“Ah…! Mi-sorry, Cleon!”

Noticing that he was lying on top of Cleon with his face her buried in his chest her, he stood up.

Perhaps, when they both fell momentarily, Cleon collapsed in her arms as if to pick her up.

As he rises and sits on his stomach her, Cleon shakes his head as he frowns while holding his head her.

“Schrödinger guy… You said nothing. I’m fine… Where, are you hurt?”

“Ah, yes, I’m fine too. Thanks, Cleon.”

And, Amelia was about to get up from her seat her, when she heard something squeak.

“Uh…?”

And looking there- the bottom of Amelia’s boots had come off and only her feet her were lifted.

“…!?”

Seeing that scene, not only Amelia but also Cleon look shocked.

“This, this…”

“Ahahaha! Ah~ I can’t wear those anymore… Puff…”

Galatea also watches the scene from behind her and covers her mouth while laughing.

“Then…”

“I can’t help it…”

As Cleon spoke, he carefully brought her Amelia down from above herself, then bent her knees to show her her back her.

“Let’s go back to the base on my back.”

At Cleon’s words her, Amelia of the love brain raises her voice while clenching her fists inside Amelia.

[Here comes the main event…!!]

She, on the other hand, is Amelia on the outside her shaking her head and shaking her hand.

“That, that! I can’t ask Cleon that much!”

“I can’t make you go back barefoot either. If you hurt her feet her doing that, that’s more of a problem. Come on.”

Amelia, hearing Cleon’s words, made no reply, and she cautiously reached for his back her.

Gulping, swallowing her saliva, she slowly shifts her body her, placing her arm her on his shoulder her and turning her forward, Cleon rising from her seat her, supporting her thigh her with his hand her.

“Galatea. Amelia’s boots and… Bag, please.”

“Okay. Okay. Oh, as a bonus, I’ll pick up the rag doll from here~!”

With her eyes wide open, Galatea spoke as she grabbed the cat doll lying on the ground.

“Be careful not to fall, Amelia.”

“…Yes…”

With her face her buried in his back her, Amelia tried to hide her blushing face her.

[To be able to close the distance like this as soon as your love luck goes up… I think I’ll become a follower of Nemea.]

Amelia, a love genius who nods her head as she pleases while talking freely inside her.

Amelia wanted to refute something to the fact that she had come all this way and said it would be okay if she disappeared.

To be honest, she felt the same way herself.

Of course, she had a conscience, so there was no small amount of shame.

It’s as if she’s trying to narrow the relationship between herself and Cleon to the point that the way her world her works is a little artificial.

If things went on like this, it seemed that the point at which she could convey her feelings to her to Cleon would not be far away.

If that happens, the fait accompli-

Amelia, who had thought that far, shook her head as soon as she regained her senses and said she was ‘hot’.

[I think it was infected by you… What I need to do most now is to find a way to get Adam out of the kingdom with him, rather than building a good relationship with Cleon]

[Of course it is. However, I am a personality created to fulfill your desire of ‘I want to connect with Cleon’.]

When another Amelia shrugs her shoulders, Amelia shuts her mouth for a moment, then she thinks.

[…Then, can I create another me…?]

When Amelia mumbled to herself as if she had come up with something groundbreaking, Amelia, the love brain inside her, looked as if she had been hit hard.

[Obviously, it appeared to protect the ego through magical adaptation, you? Then, do you know how to increase another split thinking?]

[Uh… Wait. Are you serious? You’re not a schizophrenic, and you’re going to increase the number of chairs in the brain conference?]

Amelia, a love brain who seems to be trying to stop her character as if she can’t be trusted.

But Amelia answers.

[That would be more helpful to everyone!]

[…It’s good to quit. I’m going crazy…]

After Amelia, who was fortunate in love, answered like that, she stopped answering so that her main personality would no longer have strange thoughts.

However, she was well aware.

What ‘Amelia’ thinks and wishes for is what she thinks and wishes for herself.

It was necessary to suppress it with reason.

001

The sun was already rising little by little when they came out of the dungeon, but the moonlight was still coexisting in the sky.

Slowly, while expecting the sky to brighten, Cleon took a few steps toward the exit of the gorge.

Kiki-Ik-! The moment the dungeon door closed, the sound of something collapsing was heard.

When Cleon and his party look back at the same time, the cliff collapses as if to hide a door, blocking the entrance with a rock.

With this, the ghost commotion would be gone, and the entrance to the dungeon would also be gone.

“…To say that it fulfilled its role.”

“I guess so…”

Galatea answers Cleon’s self-talk.

Recalling that Nemea had been waiting for him, Cleon looked at the place where the entrance to the dungeon was.

Soon, I completely turn around and walk towards the entrance of the gorge.

As a little cold wind blew across her face her, Amelia involuntarily shrank her body her.

Her Cleon her, who was carrying her on her back her, speaks her while carrying her on her back her as more precious to her.

“Come to think of it. Walking with Amelia at a time like this… It’s been a while.”

“…Ah, that’s right…”

At Cleon’s words, Amelia nods her head.

While acting as Saint Princesses in the kingdom, the three of them, Rubera, Cleon, and Amelia, patrol the royal capital at night and return at dawn.

It’s not like it was that long ago, but it feels like a long time ago.

Of course, it must have been caused by something like being thrown into a gap in another dimension in the meantime.

The scenery of that time, the memories of that time – and, I felt that I missed all the times we had together.

After all, he himself… Liked the royal capital, El Cerdo, and the nights there.

“…I’ll let you go back.”

Cleon quietly opened his mouth.

“…”

“The place where you were born. The place where you grew up. And- the place where there are people you really want to protect. Isn’t that a place?”

While talking with Nemea, I remembered something about Lesia.

And—remembering the gentleness she possessed, Cleon wears to Amelia once more.

“We must stop Adam… Let’s get everything back. Everything that was taken away.”

That is Lesia for Cleon.

And for Amelia, her life her in her kingdom her and her own honor her. And – a free life.

“…Yes…!”

As if answering Cleon’s oath, Amelia replied by nodding her head.

But soon, as if she wanted to ask something, she hesitated and pretended to be worried before opening her mouth cautiously.

“…If that’s the case- will Cleon come with you?”

“…”

Cleon almost stops at her words her, but he starts moving again.

At the end of the journey, if you defeat Adam and then get Lesia back.

It was definitely Cleon who talked about settling down somewhere once all of that ended safely-if there was no need to go on adventures anymore.

As he recalled asking her to go to Layla’s hometown her with her her companions her, Cleon seemed to be struggling with what to say to her.

“She’s greedy, this princess.”

Then, Galatea, who was walking beside her behind her, opened her mouth as if she were a minister.

Amelia flinched at Galatea’s words and looked back at her while shaking her body her.

Looking at Amelia, who was a bit teary-eyed, Galatea made an unusually kind expression.

“Seeing how much you hate being separated from Cleon, are you still a fool~? Huhu.”

“Galatea…”

Cleon talked to her as if he were admonishing her, but Galatea spoke leisurely as if he didn’t care about her.

“Just because we’re apart doesn’t mean we can’t meet. As long as we’re alive- that’s it, as long as all problems are resolved. Being free is like that, right?”

Colleagues and friends who will be acting for them in the capital.

Even if I counted all the names, it was painful not to meet either Cleon or Amelia.

Situations and events that bind them now.

When you unravel these things step by step and approach the end, the thread of all things connects to Adam.

“I’m not going to go to a place so far away that I can’t come back. Right? Cleon.”

“Ah. Of course. What if I tell Layla to open a fixed portal from El Cerdo to where we live?”

As Cleon laughs and talks, Amelia quietly nods her head.

So, the three of them slowly walked towards the exit of the gorge while talking about the future.

“Oh, right. By the way-“

As they approached the place where the exit fence was visible, Galatea spoke as if she had suddenly remembered her.

“The mark on Amelia’s body. It’s almost gone, so put it back.”

“──”

“…”

The air between the two people, who had just been talking happily, froze in an instant.

“Why did you become the face you’ve seen even Medusa like that? It’s natural, right? If you plan to defeat Adam in the future.”

“Yeah, but…!”

Embarrassed, Amelia groped, blushed.

In order to resist Adam’s ability to dominate the human race, it is necessary to carve Cleon’s stamp of dominance.

Because of this, his companions can think and act differently than humans who are controlled by Adam, without being manipulated by Adam.

She said, “Because Rubera’s imprint was forcibly implanted, she must have been out of shape. Well, Amelia’s own ability has become stronger than then. I think it would be better for her to engrave according to her body this time..”

“That, so… I, Cleon and that, that and that…?”

What comes to mind is the love scene between Cleon and Rubera that Amelia saw.

The time when she implanted her magical imprint on herself, and the stimulating scenes that took place to subdue the Fire Dragon Promis.

“What? Didn’t you want that to happen?”

Hee hee, Galatea covered her mouth and smiled slyly.

“That, that’s…”

If Amelia couldn’t give a negative answer to her words of her, Cleon seemed a little worried.

“…It’s a little surprising that Cleon goes to such lengths to hold a person.”

“Ah, no… What should I do?”

When Galatea also spoke as if Cleon’s attitude her was surprising, Cleon hesitated to answer.

Amelia then glances down at her own body her, then she speaks as she holds Cleon’s shoulder firmly.

“I-I’m fine. My hair and body. I can grow by adapting my magic power! If you want, at any age…!”

“Ah, yes… No! I’d say it’s a little different from that.”

“Then, another reason!? Tell me! I’ll fix it!”

To Amelia’s words her, where she became a little desperate, Cleon replied with a sigh.

“… Actually, Amelia is like her sister her, so I can’t see her as such …”

“…”

“──!?!?!?!”

The next moment, as the chocked slippers of retribution caught on Cleon’s neck, a thumping sound resounded from the canyon.

“…What are you doing? Lord Cleon.”

And a little further away – Aaron, who watched the group curiously from the fence, had the same calm thought, “They’re really good friends.”
