Chapter 97 – Part 2 Nobles – Resurrection (1)

Ray is back.
To be honest, I’m still dumbfounded. I can’t believe it even when I see Ray sleeping next to me.

Maybe when I wake up, it disappears again.
I went crazy and thought maybe I was dreaming.

But even in the morning, Ray was breathing comfortably in the same bed as me.
Ray is back

*

Yesterday during the day, she visited the temple and met Rino An. She wanted to ask how to revive the deleted Hunter.
Renoan’s answer is NO. She said there was nothing a man could do.

It is not uncommon for a player who has changed his mind to revive a Hunter.
But she said the odds weren’t worth expecting. Even so, it was said that it only happened when the hunters who had been active for a long time, that is, the player, invested enough to feel that it was a waste to delete it.

I was devastated.
Ray said she had only been a Hunter for a month. In fact, it has only been a few days since she has been active as a hunter.
According to Rinoan, it was safe to say that there was no chance that Ray would survive.

Renoan tried to comfort me, who had lost her energy. But even as she was cradled in her national treasure chest, what came to her mind was Ray’s flat chest.

It was regrettable. Why did you push Ray so far?
We hunters knew that it was in the palm of the player. Having never experienced deletion, I was thinking of the story as if it were from a distant country.

In the end, I broke up with Rinoan without doing anything. Because she wasn’t motivated to do anything.
Thinking about it now, it’s a bit of a waste. If she had acted a little more pitiful and aroused Renoan’s sympathy, she might have taken the maiden from Renoan as well.

After breaking up with Rinoan, the person I thought of as a counselor was Elsaria.
Elsaria is an elf with a long lifespan. She is and for over 100 years she has been a front-line hunter.
She must know as much as she has experience. Maybe the priest knows the way of the hunter that the priest doesn’t know.

Most of the stories that came out of Elsaria’s mouth were also negative.

The Empire is said to have a particularly high rate of Hunters being deleted.
As soon as you become a hunter for the first time, there are many cases where you are deleted, so you have to risk your life to register as a hunter.

And among deleted hunters, the ratio of revived hunters is about 1 in 20. And just like Rino An said, she said that the more invested the Hunter is, the higher the chance she will survive.
In other words, it meant that the probability of reviving Ray, who received little investment, was close to zero.

Seeing my dejection, Elsaria consoled me by saying that I had to wait until the 7th anyway.
It would have been nice if she had hugged her like Rino An, but unfortunately, she wasn’t close to Elsaria yet.

7 days. That was the last grace period left for Ray.
According to Elsaria’s words, she says that seven days have passed and no one has been resurrected. Elsaria said she must have seen countless hunters.

I prayed. All I could do was pray.
Why do people fall for religion? I didn’t understand before, but now I seem to understand.

There are things in the world that humans cannot handle. When you hit that wall, people have no choice but to lean on the transcendent being, the existence beyond people. Even if the transcendentalist doesn’t pretend to hear, if you are a desperate person, you have no choice but to pray and hope that your voice will reach the transcendentalist.

I prayed. To get Ray back.

I was so miserable that I was helpless, unable to do anything but pray to God.

I thought I could do anything on my own. Because I have power and I have power. Even that is actually nothing more than borrowed from my player.
Humans are so weak in front of God.

I planned to spend the night at the place where Ray disappeared.
I had no choice but to believe and pray that Ray would return. To my player.
If Ray doesn’t come back after 7 days…
I didn’t even want to think about that.

How many hours have passed
The street went completely dark and the sound disappeared.
My hands and feet are cold. It was a lonely night that seemed to last forever.

Suddenly, I realized that there was light in the darkness. Very little light.
At first I thought it was a hallucination.
However, the light, which was the size of a firefly at first, grew little by little and began to take on a human form.

The stopped heart started beating. I knew instinctively what that light was.

“Lay.”

A voice escaped spontaneously from his mouth.
Naked as she was when she disappeared, Ray stood there.

Hearing my voice, Ray opens his eyes. She looked at me with cloudy eyes, as if she was somehow drunk.

“Ahaha.”

Ray looked at me and smiled.

“I guess I’ve become really weird. There’s Yuzu.”

It got weird for me too.
The longed-for Ray returned, but I couldn’t move a single finger on her.
I was afraid that if I approached it carelessly and touched it, it would disappear like a mirage.

“Yuz, I’m sorry.”

Unlike me, Ray approached me casually.
Ray’s slender arms wrap around my neck.
And she apologized to me several times.

“Sorry sorry…”

What are you sorry about?
Now Ray has come back to me like this.

“Lay.”

Her heart swelled.
Unable to overcome her urge, he hugged Ray.

I could feel Ray’s body temperature. Her touch was real.
I gritted my teeth to hold back the feeling of crying.

“…Don’t go anywhere now.”

And she kissed Ray.
Long kiss. This was the first time I had a proper kiss with Ray, not a light kiss.

While Ray was preoccupied with that kiss, I took out a dungeon shelter from my inventory and installed it.
Dungeon shelters are not meant to be used only in dungeons. It’s on the side of the road, but that’s what it is. You just need no one watching.

I guided Ray into the shelter while holding her kiss. And after installing the bed inside, we ended a long kiss.

After the kiss, while Ray was dazed for a moment, I took off her clothes.
Face each other naked. After a while, Ray, who regained her senses, made a frightened expression, but I calmed her down and led her to bed.

And I hugged Ray.
Unlike what he had done to Ray so far, it was a gentle sex that seemed to confirm their love for each other and bear fruit.
I was sincere enough to think that the sex I had so far was practice for today. And Ray also responded and asked for me several times.

I was happy. It was a happy communion I had rarely felt in my short life.
No matter how many times he ejaculated, it seemed like he could stand up again if Ray was his opponent. Tonight I was invincible.

We put our bodies together until Ray collapsed from exhaustion. And when Ray passed out, the time for sunrise was already approaching.

“Cuby.”

I called out Kyuby and left her to take care of the aftermath, then wrapped her naked Ray in a robe and carried her back to the house.

At home, Jean and Maria were waiting without sleeping. Everyone was worried about Ray, but when I thought about it, he didn’t even contact me saying he was back.

“Brother! Sister!”

Seeing me holding the fainted Ray, Jin ran out crying.

“Yuzu. What happened?”

Followed by Maria.
How can I explain this?

“Lay, who was deleted yesterday, is back again today. Apparently, the player of Lay has no backbone.”
“Brother! Again! Watch your words!”

Jin is taken aback by my words and gets angry.
Perhaps it was a shock that Ray was deleted, but Jin was extremely afraid of the existence of her player.
It’s a hunter like Jindo, so it’s not someone else’s business.

“Okay, okay. You’re kidding. Ray’s players aren’t narrow-minded enough to offend you like this.”
“Ouch! Really!”

To be honest, there are things that make Ray’s players angry. If she was going to be revived anyway, wouldn’t it be better not to delete it at all? I’m just worrying about a lot of people…

…No. It’s a joke. Thanks for bringing Ray back. I will never forget this grace for the rest of my life.

“Anyway, Ray and I need to rest, so the two of you should stop and rest.”
“Hmm…Is Ray-san okay?”
“You look a bit tired, but your health is fine. Don’t worry too much.”

He appeases Jin, who is worried, and invites him into her house.

“Yuz…”
“Maria.”

Come to think of it, Maria’s ex-husband was also deleted.
When she heard the story, she honestly thought it was someone else’s business. On the contrary, she even thought of thanking her for freeing Maria.

But when Maria heard that her Ray had been deleted, she grieved with her.
Maria also lost a precious person who was even married to her in the same way. Maybe because she knows the shock, she came to my room last night and comforted me all night.

“Thank you, Maria.”
“No… I’m glad you’re back.”
“Yes.”

It must have been complicated for Maria. Her own husband became a person who could not return forever, but Ray returned in one day.
If the position had been reversed, I might have run around and forced Maria’s husband to die instead.

“I’ll tell you more about it tomorrow. Go in and rest today.”

As much as I was comforted by Maria yesterday, it would be right for me to return it. However, the situation is too inappropriate to do anything in the current state of holding Ray. It was too late.

After parting with the two of them, I went to my room and laid Ray on the bed.
As she flipped through her hair, she still looked at her with her hand on her meager breasts. I could feel my heart beating properly.

“Thanks for coming back, Ray.”

I kissed the sleeping Ray on the lips, and I lay down next to him.

How long has it been since I slept in the same bed as Ray?
Until now, I could do anything if I just wanted to. However, because of useless stubbornness, I deliberately distanced myself from Ray and treated him coldly.
It was only after losing it once that I realized its value. It’s stupid. If Ray hadn’t returned, she would have lived her whole life in regret.

He took Ray’s hand. She is a womanly small, fragile hand. It was the kind of girl’s hand I had to protect.

*

Next morning.
It was quite late when I woke up. But Ray still didn’t open his eyes.

She checks to make sure Ray is breathing properly and that her heart is beating properly. Fortunately, nothing happened to her. She was a living Ray.

“Yes…”

While checking to see if her heart was beating, she inadvertently massaged her breasts, which helped Ray wake her up.
Couldn’t she help it? It’s human nature to want to touch the breasts of a girl you like, big or small, right in front of you. If he doesn’t touch it, he must be a eunuch or gay.

“Ray. Did you sleep well?”

Ray, just awake from her sleep, looks up at me with her hazy eyes.

“Yu…Z…”

And then I laughed at what was funny.

“Is the dream still going on?”

Does Ray know that this is her dream?
I hope you don’t say such scary things.

“What are you talking about, Ray? It’s not a dream.”
“..Isn’t it a dream?”

Ray looks up at me and blinks her eyes.
She seems to be still awake.
She looked at Ray like that and smiled at me too.

“It was fun yesterday, right? I never thought Ray would like it that much.
“Kyaaak! Don’t tell me! Forget it! Forget it Yuzu!”

Ray screamed and tried to cover her mouth.
It seems that she remembered Ray only after hearing my story. I don’t want more of her, she’s still not enough, she’s her own figure that clings to me.

I feel proud as a man, but why is Ray so shy? It is only natural that the men and women she loves indulge in the sublime act of sharing her love.

“Thank you, Ray. For coming back.”

Hug that Ray once again. Both I and Ray were still naked, so our skins were tight. My son, who has been healthy since morning, also clung to Ray’s stomach.

“Yu, Yuzu… Am I really alive?”
“I don’t know the details, but wouldn’t being with me like this mean that I’m alive?”

There is no way for us to know what the player was thinking when he deleted Ray, and what thought he was bringing back to life.
But the important thing is that Ray is alive again. And if you don’t like it, it may be deleted again.

“In that sense, Ray, there’s something I need to say first.”
“Huh? What is it?”

Ray smiled softly and asked.
It had been a long time since I had seen Ray smile so happily.
But I didn’t know what I was going to say might steal that smile from Ray.

“I have to continue to have relationships with other girls, just like I did with Ray yesterday.”
“…”

Ray’s smiling face hardened.
