Chapter 271 – Inversion

#271.

The next morning.

After simply washing with drinking water from the inventory and leaving the room, I saw the members busily coming and going. After tidying up the drinking party we had yesterday, I go to and from the basement with a parasol or tent that I spread out.

I’m just watching it quietly Garos, who spotted me while passing by, approached me. A sinister smile appeared on his face, which made me realize that he was coming to tease me even if I pretended to.

“Howdy! Brother. How was your business yesterday?”
“Yes. Pretty cute, right?”
Haha! I’m drunk too! He did it in front of us a few times and then he didn’t for a while. It seems that the leader was also comfortable with his younger brother.”

As expected, Garos must have known about Kiris’s double personality and unreasonable drinking habit. He looked around him as if looking at his eyes, and continued talking.

“By the way, the leader doesn’t remember, so keep it a secret.”
“You don’t remember?”
“Okay. I don’t know what happened, but he thought he came back to his room on his own. So… What did you do?”
“Yes?”
“You said it was cute? What, did you even get a kiss?”

There is nothing this man cannot say. No matter how much I was a sex master who had mastered everything from normal sex to breast milk play, outdoor play, and anal sex, I couldn’t start kissing him.

Garos laughed heartily as I looked at him, and then he raised his hand and patted my shoulder.

“Puhaha! I don’t see it like that that’s just what I did If I did, it would be a problem. It puts my mind at ease.”
“Have you tried it?”
“Then! I might take the captain, but of course I shouldn’t have to do this much, right? I wish you well in the future.”

I don’t know why she pushes the relationship between me and Kiris while caring for her like her real sister. How long has it been since we met that you trust me this much…

“I don’t understand.”
“You don’t have to understand. Think of it as you like. So let’s rest! I’ll leave right after lunch when I’m done tidying up. Besides this place, there are many islands occupied by the Siraster Pirates. You have to go around like this for a week.”
“All right. Excuse me then.”

I was about to go back to my room, but I came out to the deck to catch some fresh air.

Wheei-

The cool sea breeze ruffled her hair and slapped her skin. While savoring the feeling, I suddenly wondered if Garos’ words were true, so I looked around and found Kiris.

Do you really not remember what happened yesterday? I’ve never had a drink before that so I don’t know.

Even when I drank for the first time in my life, there was a time when I was drunk with the atmosphere and became unimpressive, but although it was rare, it was definitely memorable.

Before I could look around, Kiris came out of the conference room. She looked chic holding a few papers and making a serious expression.

It contrasted with yesterday and presented a huge gap.

‘This kind of woman laughed a lot yesterday…’

The innocent smile that even middle school students wouldn’t see was still vivid in my mind. Suddenly, the sadism of wanting to recreate it by drinking right now soared.

Of course, if she did that, she would be hated by Kiris. She let only one thought flow to the end and approached Kiris.

At the sound of my footsteps, Kiris raised her head and our eyes met.

“Leader. Are you okay inside?”
“There is no problem at this level. Thanks to you, I also tasted elf fruit wine. Rather, did you enter safely yesterday? I should have taken you there, but I was short-tempered.”
“…”

The horn that brought me. I wondered how he would react if he found out that he had been carried away snoring in my arms, unable to control his body.

If I only had a camera, I would take a picture and show it later, which is a pity. I heard that there is such an unreasonable thing in the magic tower, so I’ll have to get it sometime.

Even if it wasn’t necessarily against Kiris, wouldn’t there be an opportunity to use it sometime?

While she was deep in thought, Kiris, who had come closer, tilted her head and asked.

“Why? Is something going on?”
“Oh, nothing. Anyway, I’m glad you’re fine. Let’s have another drink next time. It was a pleasure thanks to you.”
“… I am. It’s good if you give me another good drink. However, at that time, make adjustments. I don’t have a problem, but you don’t seem to know your dose. Be careful.”

I stood still as it was until Kiris disappeared. It was because it seemed that if I moved even one fingertip, I would burst into laughter right away.

Maybe later when I get drunk, I’ll have to show a tingling taste.

She made a resolution to herself, looked at the sun rising in the sky, and then walked to the restaurant for lunch.

***

Time passed helplessly.

It’s been a week since the fight with Siraster. During that time, we traveled all over the sea and erased the influence of the Siraster Pirates.

They raided countless islands occupied by them, freeing the exploited inhabitants.

─Long live the vigilantes!
─Thank you!!

The residents saw us off as we left after simply cleaning up. All the members smiled at the sound of waving their hands and shouting and headed to the area in charge to fulfill their respective roles.

Only Kiris and I remained on the deck, silently watching the distant island.

“Now it’s time to relax.”
“That’s right. Now we should rest a little and prepare for the next fight, right?”
“… Okay. Once we return to our island and reorganize, we will take you to the rendezvous point.”

Being a vigilante, it wasn’t just floating on the sea in a boat. People who have lost their families and homes are inevitably left alone.

Loneliness breeds deficiency, and deficiency arouses desire.

Vigilantes aren’t just men, they say, and if you live like that, there are many people who make a new start.

Of course, a physical relationship cannot be left out in love between a man and a woman. As more and more vigilantes become pregnant, they need space to raise their children.

That’s how the vigilantes also secretly built their bases.

At first, there were problems with this. A female vigilante is pregnant, and she doesn’t know who the father is.

The woman slept with three men for a week, and eventually, after the child grew up to a certain extent, she was able to get to know the father or something…

I know that I needed the warmth of men to make up for the loss of lack of affection, but that only adds to the confusion.

Anyway, that’s not what’s important.

‘I’m finally going!’

It means that the way to the ancient ruins has now been opened. According to Kiris, the Emperor and Samhae meet once a month.

Currently, it has been only a week since Siraster died. In other words, they haven’t noticed the change yet.

Therefore, the damage must be accumulated as soon as possible before the meeting day arrives and you realize it. The next target was the Lugaros Pirates.

This is where Lugaros, who uses a large anchor as a weapon, is the captain.

Even though he is at the same level as me at 9 stars, if Kiris is also added, it should be possible to deal with it with ease. After defeating him, only two of Samhae are left.

If Kiris and I are together, it’s possible to catch them all. Of course, Ilhwang was a stumbling block, but that could be done somehow.

If things don’t go well, you can call your loved ones and ask them to send reinforcements. There is nothing to worry about if only Karut is called.

After making a rough conclusion alone, I looked at Kiris, who was still looking at me, and nodded.

“Thank you for doing so. It’s a separate island. Can I go there? Of course, looking at the current situation, that wouldn’t be possible, but wouldn’t the Coast Guard get caught?”
“… That’s no problem Because that’s where I don’t care anymore. Originally, it would have been noisy as a tourist destination, but now the waterway is blocked, so there will be no people.”
“Then I’m glad.”

I also wasted a long time coming to Carleya Kingdom because the seaway was blocked, but thanks to that, I think I can visit without being noticed.

The conversation ended, and silence fell between us.

Only the sound of the waves crashing against the sailboat is noisy. Kiris, who had been staring blankly at the sea for a while, stepped back from him and greeted me while looking at me.

“Then, rest in peace. I have work to do, so I will go.”
“Yes. Leader. See you tomorrow.”

Kiris turned and walked away first, and I, watching him, entered the room and started training.

***

The sun was bright.

The body that became a habit made me open my eyes in the morning. After briefly washing her face with the water she took out of her inventory, she went out and headed to the restaurant.

After eating with Garros and Orbin next to me, I locked myself in my room for personal training. If Emperor Il-hwang is really at the level of 10 stars, he will never be able to relax.

I don’t know how I could win if I squeezed everything I had into working together with Kiris, but there was no guarantee that the others wouldn’t intervene.

If even one of Samhae gets into the fray, we’re done. Even if I survived, what would it mean if all the vigilantes, including Kiris, died?

Of course, the ancient ruins are now scheduled to stop by the vigilante stronghold, so the purpose of coming here can be accomplished, but it is only uncomfortable.

Although it didn’t last very long, I’ve had a lot of damage to all of the vigilantes in a few weeks, so I hope that everyone will survive and finish the job successfully.

After looking at the thoughts floating around in my head for a while, I threw my head back and fell into contemplation in earnest.

10 stars.

The 9-star is the ability to form an aura based on the will that has become more connected with the outside world through the opening of the upper stage to the state of intangibility.

The act of attacking with a sword or by gathering strong energy in the air belongs to this category.

Then, what power do you get when you reach 10 stars?

It’s an idea.

It’s called will, but in fact, it’s not much different even if it’s will. It was a very abstract and cryptic concept, but it clearly existed.

It exists, but… Now I’m completely lost.

One day I was told by Lucas and Ludwig that it was important to establish one’s own image.

Something that no one can imitate, that only you have. He said that he needed a firm belief in it and imagination.

Then, does the world support that will and make the imagination a reality?

“It sounds like catching clouds…”

I don’t know what’s different from saying that if you wish, the whole universe will listen.

That day, I passed the time overworking my head with thoughts about my thoughts.

And at lunch the next day, we were able to reach our destination.
