Chapter 56 – Confidence (1)

[···I didn’t know that I would complain instead of saying hello.]

The goddess looked very angry as she looked at me with her arms crossed.

“···Well, it’s good to see you again after a long time…”

I felt a twinge of gaze.

Although the goddess’s eyes were obscured by light, her gaze was clearly felt.

The goddess stared at me for a long time before sighing deeply and speaking.

[···I was busy, so I couldn’t understand the situation properly.]

···The goddess is busy too…

[I believed you could do well…]

I unconsciously looked away from her glaring gaze.

[···Please explain what the situation is.]

After Hyeon Hayeon went on a rampage, the goddess disappeared.

She opened her mouth, recalling what had happened.

“···First of all, I keep my distance well from Hayeon.”

Hyeon Ha-yeon did drink too much once, but in the end, I was the cause.

Of course, it is not normal that she committed violence just because she lied.

Hyeon Ha-yeon is a person who falls outside the category of normal people.

When she found out that Lee Ji-yeon and her had been hanging out all day and night, she got angry because she had lied to her.

Since you didn’t think of me as anything more than family, it was just a matter of fingers. If you really liked me…

If you compare it to the actions of past warriors, the fingers are noble.

Hyeon Ha-yeon is safe as long as she is not caught lying.

Although I made some sacrifices, I can say that I have mastered the Hyeon Ha-yeon user manual perfectly.

She felt proud of herself and was confident in her words.

“I may not know anything else, but I can control Hyeon Ha-yeon well!”

But the goddess was silent.

She didn’t say it expecting praise, but she was a little embarrassed to get a cold response.

The goddess looked at me blankly, then let out a short sigh and said.

[···Okay, let’s move on.]

···What is to come has come.

Now that we’ve talked about Hyeon Ha-yeon, we have to talk about Baek Ga-eun and Lee Ji-yeon.

But no matter how much I thought about it, none of them did anything right.

“···Well, Jiyeon… Speaking of which…”

The goddess disappeared, spurring the debut of Hyeon Ha-yeon and Baek Ga-eun.

Meanwhile, with Lee Ji-yeon…

···My head was filled with only flesh colors.

Like a succubus in a game, every time my energy was full, I just sucked it out.

I even made a contract with my own hands.

···Of course, I enjoyed it later.

The goddess emphasized to me several times to be careful of Jiyeon Lee.

How can you say that you are still carrying out breeding activities with Lee Ji-yeon?

The goddess probably knew something about it, but I felt pathetic for saying it with my own mouth.

“···A contract···, you signed it, right?”

As Lee Ji-yeon’s story came out, the goddess’s gaze felt even colder.

Like a child being scolded by his parents, I quickly tried to find an excuse.

“···It was a condition to do it inside…, So I had no choice…”

“Well, still! You’re safe now! I said it was okay to do as much as I wanted…”

As the goddess looked at me intently, the confidence in my voice gradually disappeared.

The inferior goddess uncrossed her arms and said.

[···Are you saying that now?]

Ugh…

[I told you not to get too close, what kind of contract is that?]

Unlike the goddess, who gradually raised her voice as if it were absurd, I gradually began to shrink.

[And if you really get pregnant, then why are you teasing me so carelessly?]

[If you really get pregnant, everything is ruined. How many more times do I have to explain that as your seed grows, the hero and the devil grow together?]

···I had nothing to say.

[Please make fun of me in moderation. Kim Cho-in, do you want to be like this?]

The goddess stretched out her hand into the air and radiated light.

After a while, I pictured myself in the past, with my leg cut off and drunk on drugs.

“···Ah, no…”

For some reason, my left hand was throbbing, so I held it tight.

The goddess, who had been sighing, took a breath and said.

[···I have a lot to say, but I’ll leave it here.]

I was very discouraged and tried to change the topic, but it was no use.

[Why are you leaving out the Demon King?]

In the end, I had no choice but to tell the truth about Baek Ga-eun.

I spoke as if making an excuse, frowning as the goddess looked at me pitifully.

“… But Baek Ga-eun is okay. If I just work hard… I can control it well.”

Actually, it’s not okay.

Even though she thought Baek Ga-eun’s behavior was unusual, she had reacted complacently.

No matter how much money you have, I want you to kiss me instead of paying for medicine…

My belief that Baek Ga-eun would be okay was shattered with one kiss.

Fortunately, I am not an insensitive man.

Now that she’s realized she’s attracted to me, it’s perfect if she can take advantage of that and take control of the situation.

Even if it looks like trash, isn’t there nothing you can do to save the world?

The variable is the presence or absence of memory, but fortunately Baek Ga-eun did not regain the memories of his days as the Demon King.

It’s just a guess, but I haven’t found any evidence that Baek Ga-eun is the devil.

The most sinister and cruel woman I have ever seen in the past was the devil.

It is a monster that is basic to murder and cannibalism and torture feel relatively weak.

She used her specialty, magic, to harass people in ways unimaginable to normal minds.

If Baek Ga-eun was regaining his memories, he wouldn’t have acted like that.

She turned her head to see the goddess looking at me with distrustful eyes.

She quietly averted her gaze and laid out her plan.

She was so busy with work that she didn’t have time to seriously think about it, but when she started organizing it, she realized that it was more worth doing than she thought.

If I can solve the only problem, the contract with Jiyeon Lee, I think I can easily lift the curse.

[···I feel a little uneasy seeing you so confident.]

She changed the topic by listening to the goddess who was striking candles.

“… More than that, it won’t disappear again, right?”

The goddess paused for a moment as if thinking, then opened her mouth.

[···Yes, I plan to help you for the time being.]

As she was talking with the goddess, an idea suddenly occurred to her.

“… Give me that book.”

The goddess, who understood what I meant, summoned a book in the air and handed it to me.

I received a book that looked like a large karaoke book, put it down on the floor, and opened it.

[···Why are you doing that?]

I skimmed through the book, listening intently to the goddess’ words.

Between the hero and the demon king, there were other characters interspersed.

There were many names such as archmage, emperor, saint, etc., And only one line was written on the last page.

[Childhood Friend 1 – 17y 8765]

He pointed to the last page and spoke to the goddess.

“···Can’t you see this record yet?”

Although the goddess’s eyes were obscured by light, it felt like she was frowning for some reason.

[···Still not enough power.]

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to see the last record yet.

I turned the page forward and looked at the names, then started looking through the names all over again from the beginning.

[···What are you looking for?]

I scanned the page and answered appropriately.

“···There is a demon king and a hero in modern times, but I was wondering if there were other people…”

She skimmed through it until she found the page where the unfamiliar name appeared for the first time.

[Hero 720 – 12y 1420]

[Saint 1 – 39y 1421]

[Demon King 701 – 467y 1422]

Among the saints, emperors, and great wizards who occupied a considerable share of the population, the saint appeared first.

After that, as I continued to scroll through the pages, the saint no longer appeared and the emperor appeared.

After the emperor stopped listing his name, the name of the archmage was written.

As she followed the archmage, she reached the last chapter.

I felt something uneasy, so I went back and carefully checked the names, and found that the records of the three people never overlapped.

Occasionally, small names were visible.

An elf queen, a thousand horses, and even a courtesan…

There were a variety of occupations, but these are just names that have disappeared at most twice.

They were probably people who attempted to lift the curse.

However, at some point, the various names disappeared, leaving only the names of the Demon King, the Hero, and the Great Wizard.

I felt something strange, but there was no answer.

As I was in the midst of worrying, the goddess sneakily approached me and spoke to me.

[There are probably no other women in this world.]

As it turned out, it was a useless worry.

“···Really?”

···Please give me an answer in advance.

[···Because I secretly stole your souls, other women cannot exist.]

Was it really necessary to bring the souls of the hero and the devil?

[···Their true power is beyond your imagination.]

There was a battle between a hero and a demon king that destroyed the world.

In my opinion, prevention seemed much better.

After thinking about it, I closed the book and returned it to the goddess.

I ended up wasting my time on useless worries.

After that, while making plans with the goddess, the morning alarm rang.

Now it was time to wake up.

[···I ask you again···, be wary of women and be careful. The moment you step onto their palms, your future cannot be guaranteed.]

He said, waving his hands in horrified worry.

“… Because I will create my future.”

I thought it was a rather cool line.
