Chapter 124 – Daydreaming
As I was lying quietly on the bed, an unfamiliar ceiling caught my eye.
Where am I, who am I? I knew the answer, but I didn’t want to admit it.
“..It’s been a while since the two of us slept together like this. Isn’t that Artin?”
Then, Cayenne, who had just come out of her shower, looked at me as she sat on her own bed with her delightful smile.
“Ah…”
Fuck you. That guy sucks, and the situation where he has to sleep away from the kids sucks too.
**
“I’ll say it again, gentlemen, only selected people can enter the quarters where the warriors are staying.”
About two hours ago, in front of the lodgings of the Northern Church where Cayenne and Artin were supposed to stay, Thomas was appeasing the disgruntled women.
“..Yes, I understand that the number of people who can stay is limited. But why can’t we meet or come out?”
“Right! I want to meet my older brother!”
“I am a contractor with Artin! They cannot be separated like this!”
The three people who came to complain were Agnes, Shaomai, and Unicor.
Most of the harem were non-human, or in a situation where they couldn’t show themselves like Zion, so these three women came to represent them and decided to argue with Priest Thomas, who was guarding the inn.
“As any faithful Princess Agnes would know, the process of being appointed as a hero is very important. Because she has to cleanse herself of her sins of her, free herself from her worldly values of her, and have the joy of serving humanity. That’s why she shouldn’t be in contact with secular people.”
“..Yes, I understand that the hero, Cayenne, is subject to such restrictions. But why was Artin taken along?”
In fact, the only dissatisfaction of the three people was Artin.
Claire is the only one in trouble because Cayenne is staying in the dormitory, but it’s enough if they take good care of her for three days. But what about Artin? He’s not even a hero, so why was he attracted to the Order?
“That’s because Cayenne, the candidate for the hero, chose Artin-nim as her companion her.”
“What on earth is that companion? It’s the first I’ve heard of it.”
“The goddess gave me a revelation. She decided to select someone who would help the hero on his adventure her, especially someone who had the authority to represent the hero in his absence her.”
“What ..! If it’s such a serious responsibility, should n’t you listen to Artin’s intention to his?”
At Thomas’ explanation, the women’s expressions began to harden.
Maybe it was natural. It was because all three people gathered here remembered how Artin died.
“Even the original daughter of Artin’s contract cannot allow that! To entrust such a dangerous task!”
“Why should my brother take on such a job when there are Princess Marianne and Prince Richard and other talented students?”
Shao-Mei gnashed her teeth, and Unicor, unable to overcome her anger her, crushed the ground with her feet her to cool off.
How many times have you entrusted Artin, who died while trying to save the world, with a heavy responsibility like a companion of the hero again? The three judged that Cayenne had also forcibly brought in Artin to sabotage them.
“There seems to be a misunderstanding, but we did not bring Artin-nim by force. All of this has been agreed upon by Artin-nim.”
“Yes? Are you talking about Artin?”
When Thomas nodded her head with a confident face, the three women couldn’t help but flinch. Artin agrees? The thing I wanted to separate from Cayenne the most was that it was Artin himself who said he wanted to take a break this episode.
“And outsiders are not allowed to stay in this building for a long time, but it is not impossible to visit them.”
“Really? Is it possible to meet you? I have to ask my brother directly what happened!”
“Yes, of course. But only if one condition passes.”
Priest Thomas smiled benevolently and took out a small white bead from his bosom.
“This…?”
“It is an artifact prepared by the Church. It is a bead that hides a noble and good person who will not stain the warrior and his companion with sin.”
“Huh! That kind of thing can easily pass!”
Xiao Mei walked over to the marble and proudly placed her hand on her marble her. Because she herself has never sinned or done anything bad!
Beep-!!
Contrary to Xiao Mei’s expectations of her, however, her orb her glowed red and made an ominous noise.
“This…?”
“Oops, I don’t know why, but it looks like Miss Xiaomei was eliminated. I’m sorry, but I don’t think we can let her into the church.”
“Wait a minute, such ridiculous conditions…!”
The moment Xiao Mei expressed her dissatisfaction with her incomprehensible process of her, Agnes noticed the scene. That this was a trap prepared by Saint Olga, who sent them a challenge.
“…Wait a minute, Priest Thomas. If you say virtuous and kind… Can you tell me what kind of person you are referring to?”
At Agnes’s question, Thomas, who gave a troubled expression to Xiao-Mei who was enraged, lifted his marble with a happy expression and began to explain.
“Oh, that’s a good question! This is a bead of virtue that I created with great care and was blessed by an angel myself! It is safe to say that it is a scale for weighing a person’s soul!”
“The weight of the soul..?”
“Yes! The one who is not greedy! A person who is not jealous and envious of others! Whose chastity is not corrupted by lust! The one who doesn’t mock and tease others! The one who did not hurt the innocent with his anger! The one who has not put off what needs to be done through indolence! One who has not belittled others with his own arrogance! It is a marble that identifies upright people who have never committed any of the seven deadly sins!”
As Thomas continued to explain the beads, the three people’s expressions began to harden again.
Shao-Mei was greedy and tried to monopolize Artin by attacking it without anyone knowing.
Agnes, who had been on a date outdoors a while ago, awakened by a strange sense of achievement.
He mocked and teased Artin, who was hairless, and called himself a noble divine beast and called himself Unicor.
“Of course, very minor mistakes are overlooked, but the most important thing is virginity, so we decided to ban anyone who is not chaste from entering, regardless of age or gender.”
At Thomas’ confident voice, even Unicor and Xiao-Mei began to sense that something was wrong. And all this was something that Olga had previously tipped off to Priest Thomas.
“Okay, you are free to retest. Is there anyone you would like to visit?”
Agnes was sure.
Even if he was a divine beast of the Southern Church, the daughter of a god of war, or even himself, the imperial family of the Empire, the biggest supporter of the Northern Church, he had no intention of letting that man in unless the orb allowed it.
‘..Don’t think you won from us in only three days, Olga.’
Agnes clenched her fists in his resentment her, but she had no choice but to return with Xiao Mei and Unikor.
**
‘I never thought the meeting conditions would be so tight…I should have asked before entering the dorm.’
I immersed myself in the bath and clicked my tongue as I recollected the events at the front door that Father Thomas had told me about.
No, I can understand Priest Thomas’ toughness his. It was true that it would be difficult if the people who burned me during the 3rd playthrough or the ganja of the Demon King’s army moved again.
“Ehh, I can’t just leave Cayenne alone to catch the demon king.”
Don’t worry too much about what you’ve already decided. Because I’m the partner I decided, I have to endure it with evil.
It’s not like I was given a fraudulent contract, it’s because I just need to stay here for 3 days.
“..Ah, but it’s a bit like not being able to see the kids for three days.”
My biggest concern in these three days of life was not being able to see my lovers.
It is true that I was reluctant to spend three days with Cayenne. But this isn’t the first time he’s spent the night alone with Cayenne.
In the 2nd playthrough, there were times when I rolled over and hugged Cayenne because it was so cold, and during the 3rd playthrough, there were many times when I used a tent in the field while risking my life fighting against the demon army.
Even though the Cayenne guy looked at me shadyly or interfered with my relationship, he never tried to attack me by force. So, you should be at ease.
However, not being able to see the women I love for three days is like telling newlyweds to go on a business trip to the countryside.
‘If I call Sirka… They will surely get caught, right? It’s nothing else, it’s an accommodation prepared by the Northern Church for VVIPs.’
Perhaps the moment I summon Sirka, I might be crucified and burnt again, claiming that I am a corrupter who made a pact with the devil. Being burned to death was something I couldn’t do twice, so I decided to quit.
“Did you wash well? The water here feels good.”
“..Yeah, well, it’s better than the dormitory.”
When I came out drying her hair in a gown, Cayenne was sitting on the bed reading her book in her unbuttoned shirt and shorts.
“Can you please button up the front? I wish Zorvana would show off her pectoral muscles of her.”
“Ah, sorry… I always slept alone so I didn’t pay attention.”
For saying that, he looked like a puppy waiting for me to come out.
“What are you reading? Norse denomination bible? Do you look into every episode to find out what’s interesting about it?”
“..Because I have only vague memories of Artin, I don’t even remember much about the Bible. You have to have strong holy power to use the holy sword properly, right? I want to be of some help.”
“Hmm.. Well, reading the Bible would be more comfortable than sitting still. They say they’re starting accelerated training tomorrow.”
I sat down on the bed, took out the elixir from my inventory and poured it into my mouth.
“Now, water.”
“Eww? So”
As I frowned at the bitter taste of the powdered elixir, Cayenne displayed an unusual sense of handing me water.
Ugh, it’s so bitter, I should at least take out a candy and eat it.
“Then what shall we do now, Artin? Is it still early at night?”
“It’s not like I’m on a picnic… I have to study from dawn tomorrow, so I’m going to bed early today.”
An event where I can even talk all night with Cayenne, who stars at me with twinkling eyes, is not recommended.
I decided to study for the test during the day when Cayenne was being taught, and lay down on the bed.
The bed was very fluffy and soft. It’s like a gold class dorm bed…
*
“… Artin?”
“…”
“… Are you sleeping?”
“… Growl.”
Ten minutes after Artin lay down on the bed, Cayenne approached Artin and confirmed that she was soundly asleep.
“..Whoops, you’re sleeping. As Olga said.”
Cayenne glanced at the scented candles placed around the window.
-“Please help me, Cayenne, are you going to let Artin’s harem ruin Artin like that?”
“…Why should I help you? As far as I can see, you are just another female targeting Artyn.”
“Well, will you be able to spend the night of 3 nights and 4 days with Artin?”
“Artyn doesn’t like men. That I would compromise on just that…?”-
Artin didn’t notice because Cayenne sprayed a perfume similar to that delicate scented candle, but it was a sleepwalk prepared by Olga in advance.
Sleepy perfume, this incense created by an alchemist was made to imitate the power of a succubus, and it is said that people intoxicated with this scent do not notice the boundary between dreams and reality.
-“I’ll lend it for just one day, the first night. Please keep the line. Chastity is an important virtue even for you, a warrior. Anything else… I’ll close my eyes.” –
What Olga suggested was a happy night with Artin, who had been sleeping defenselessly every night for 3 nights and 4 days.
Of course, if it were another woman or man, she would not have made this proposal, but Olga, who only despises Cayenne as a rival and an obstacle, and has vague memories of Cayenne as a warrior, is confident that Cayenne will not attack Artyn by force. There was
Perhaps, at least by holding her hand her or snuggling in her arms her, Artin, who had such an unpleasant dream at work, would feel closer to herself, the only woman she could see for three days.
He excludes the women, keeps them in check with Cayenne, and bears all of Artin’s anxieties himself. If Olga’s plan had gone ahead, it would have worked, given Artyn’s personality to her.
“… You think everything is a dream, right?”
Cayenne sat down on the bed where Artin was sleeping, and she started stroking his cheek.
However, that hand was not a hand that was suitable for wielding a large, reliable sword.
In an instant, a window appeared in front of Cayenne’s eyes.
─────────────────
Quest: The Hero’s Secret
You are the warrior chosen by the goddess to save this world.
The status window is the power given to you, but you must not let anyone know about it.
If someone discovers your true identity, the hero’s power will be withdrawn.
Quest Condition: Defeat the Demon King without letting anyone know your past and status window.
Penalty in case of quest failure: Disqualification of the warrior, recovery of the status window.
Reward for completing the quest: 1 desired wish that can be granted with the power of the goddess.
─────────────────
A window like a warning from the system not to forget the quest. However, Cayenne silently turned off her status window and looked at Artin.
“…Then, no matter what you do, you won’t get caught?”
Always 24 hours a day, the power of the dragon lord of the previous generation, which had tightly wrapped around Cayenne, began to wear off.
Her strong pectoral muscles her, which Artin hated, had the curves of a beautiful woman, and her face her, which boasted of her beautiful and masculine charm her, gradually turned into a woman’s off-white.
“Then… I guess it’s okay for me to be a little bit my own way, right? Artin?”
The chosen hero of this world, Karen’s neat features, began to have a playful flair.
