Chapter 151 – Troublesome Times -1-

It was a situation that could not have been imagined from Leo Floyd’s point of view and had never been assumed.

Maybe today?

That the saintess is coming

Eclair may have been contacted the day before, but Leo, a member of the group, only found out on the same day.

“A bitch who doesn’t notice and has an asshole body… Fuck-!”

Every time the saintess’ sudden eccentricity, the religious order apologized to the public officials who were in a hurry to prepare the event, but the timing was too bad.

Leo Floyd even borrowed her father’s name today and suddenly proposed to Eclair.

Even if she thought about it, she was assuming a result that would fail with a fairly high probability, but since she had decided on the direction of her actions, she stabbed her one last time just in case.

She realized that her goal would not be achieved even if she went through her life with this hierarchical relationship.

It was because she felt intuition that she had to get out of this position based on the results from now on.

The marbles passed on by the black magician and the black pouch that holds them.

I said that I would not be caught ‘probably’ even if a person from a considerable number of churches came, but can I not be caught in front of a saint of the church?

‘It’s impossible. It’s not normal to hear rumors about that bitch…’

It’s not a situation where you can gamble with your life in the first place.

Although the body is weak.

Leaving the comfortable capital, meeting the marginalized, preaching the church’s doctrine, and helping the less fortunate.

She is said to be a beauty who spreads benevolence throughout the continent, but Leo knows that she is a member of a high-ranking aristocracy.

That she is one of the things her warlocks fear most.

She was told that with her frail, worm-like face, she tore to death the moment she encountered demons, heretics, undead, warlocks, and anything else that ran against her providence.

Even her father, who was stingy with praise and recognition from other groups of humans, actually saw and admired her saintess’ sex magic.

For Leo, who now secretly possesses the warlock’s goods, being here is tantamount to committing suicide.

‘Even if I can take this off…!’

Even if the devil, synonymous with wickedness and distrust, mediates, a contract made with mana will follow the terms of the contract unconditionally.

No matter how much Leo looked at it, from the day he made a thorough contract with the warlock he was a gainer and was handed over to his pocket entirely.

She strangely can’t get this marble off her body. She gets anxious when she gets away and her limbs tremble.

This was not the use of black magic or the power of marbles.

The sacrifice made by an unknown number of people did not have the ‘intent’ to harm Leo by breaking the contract.

It was just that Leo, who had been exposed to thoughts that were barely perceptible through her pockets, was captured.

The speed at which Leo’s mind was engulfed and corrupted by evil thoughts was incomparably faster than that of the criminal.

If this is a talent, then Leo is a genius.

It is an area of ​​effort and talent that has been perfected with the form of life and the true nature that has been lived.

The mind full of denial has brought about dependence to the extent that it must be in one’s arms even at the moment of sleep.

He couldn’t sleep without the whispers from the orb.

When I was preparing for the event to welcome the saintess, I thought about leaving or leaving because I was sick.

Considering the saintess’s activities up to this point, she frequently visits the imperial institutions and meets public officials when she is in the capital.

It will be difficult to avoid continuously, and the biggest problem is…

Even though the sun hadn’t set, I felt like I was going crazy with alcohol and women, and I was desperate to relieve my sexual desire.

Jerebuck-

“Whoa- He was so damn manly…”

His impromptu emotions and judgments, which had been pointed out as being too much, became so strong that he proposed a marriage proposal and even threw in his resignation as a bonus.

Although she got goosebumps at the crazy actions that bordered on seizures she had carried out in front of the leader as she walked out the door.

The moment he saw the shops scattered around, Leo’s mouth opened wide.

‘I don’t know··! Let’s have a drink.’

If it wasn’t her éclair anyway, she would bother going to work early in the morning or leaving work late at night, and there would be no reason to be in her many imperial households, and there would be no need to maintain a superior-subordinate relationship with her.

She is herself. If she belongs under her father and becomes a knight of the territory, the future is bright.

*****

Although the meeting place was set as the meeting place, it was outside.

The place where Chloe guided Roman was a little closer to the center of the capital again.

After thinking about it day by day, the restaurant Chloe decided on was not a high-end restaurant with private rooms.

It should be remembered that this is not a meeting place for nobles.

Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to be in such a position for a brother who has a strong color as an adventurer who values ​​freedom?

‘A place to have a hearty meal to really get full…’

In the first place, the restaurant is an acceptable option without failure, but it is unclear whether it will fill the brother’s stomach.

She’s herself, and a course meal is enough, but isn’t her older brother lacking in energy consumption itself?

It would be okay to order additional dishes in addition to the course, but I thought I’d give it a little more strength since it’s just started.

So she sold out.

Rike always disappeared right after her academy ended, so she never came along.

After Seria and the academy, we went to a place where we had dinner and visited in advance.

A restaurant that comes to a special day or a day with a big shot at the level of an ordinary family, not an aristocrat.

“…Here.”

“The atmosphere is good~ lively.”

Looking at the menu, it feels like a simple restaurant, but it is also a place that sells home-cooked meals.

The taste of her cooking was also a passing point, to the extent that Seria, who came with her, vowed to come with her sister.

In addition, even if it is not a private room with proper soundproofing, it was good that the partition was properly installed so that the attention of the surroundings was not drawn.

Moderately heard noises push away the awkwardness rather than the desolate silence.

Chloe, who was handed a cardigan and box before sitting down, put the cardigan and an artificial flower next to her.

He held out the square box containing the bottle to Roman.

“And this is something I prepared as a return gift… Gwa, please accept it if you don’t mind…!”

“Eating alone is enough. But Chloe prepared it for me, so I’ll take care of it.”

“…”

Watching her return gift leave her own hands, Chloe gurgled her saliva at her nervousness.

“Is it okay if I check now?”

“It’s not that great, but… Yes…”

Chloe nodded her head, and only Jararo moved his hand.

There was surprise in my brother’s eyes when he checked the inside of the packaged box. A smile spread across her lips.

“Ho-! This is Winter Bank! It’s so popular that it’s hard to find, so how did you get it?”

Seeing her brother’s sincere response, the tension she had been trapped in was released at once, and her body and mind were relaxed.

“I went to the specialty store and I was lucky that there was only one left. Hehe…”

“Hey… Is there such a case? Anyway, thank you. I’ll drink it well.”

Seria’s older sister talked to her staff at the store, and she said that there was only one left, and the item she had taken out of the warehouse.

It must have been true that there is a scarcity even at a price that is not burdensome even for one’s own pocket money.

I feel really lucky to have met such a good person.

“You don’t have to say thank you to me. I have received so many things…”

“To me, this drink Chloe gave me is more precious than ice crystals.

Chloe, who had put her hand between her thighs and rubbed her lips at the words that hit him straight ahead, slightly changed the subject.

“Menu…! Would you like to see it?”

…
…

Let’s wait while chatting about things that are so insignificant that it’s hard to even say it’s trivial.

There were too many dishes for two people to eat.

Chloe asked with a hearty smile as she started eating and saw the plate being quickly emptied.

“Isn’t the food lacking? It doesn’t suit your taste or…”

“It’s nice that the portions are generous and the dishes make you feel like you’re eating at home. Chloe knows a good restaurant.”

“Lol··.”

Chloe smiled brightly, realizing that her courage and efforts for the present were not in vain.

“How’s the academy? It’s hard for me to keep track of how the cadets are doing since I only have classes once a week.”

“My friends are so good… I learn new things every day, so I just like it because I feel like every day is worthwhile…”

Seeing Chloe smiling just thinking about whether Seria and Rike are so good, Roman smiled heartily.

“If the day is fulfilling, worry and idle thoughts are reduced, so you can sleep soundly. Chloe is definitely doing well.”

Certainly, one sound sleep is the stunned self.

A heat rose to her face at the thought that she had somehow been found embarrassing.

“Now, it’s true that I sleep well…! I only make mistakes every day, but am I really doing well…”

Chloe was startled at the idea that she habitually denied it even after being praised and even complained, so she tried to correct it.

Roman pointed to the scar on his chin and brought him out.

“Chloe. All humans make mistakes. Even this alone is my mistake and a sign of failure. Every time I see this scar reflected in the mirror, I remember that time and try to clear my mind.”

“…”

As Chloe listened quietly, Roman emptied the cup of water and resumed the conversation.

“Mistakes are, in the end, a stairway and a stepping stone to success. A gap grows between a person who makes a mistake and remembers it like Chloe did, and a person who laughs at it without thinking about it, and as time passes, the gap cannot be bridged. Think.”

“…”

Looking at Chloe, who seemed to have something to say, Roman softened the atmosphere with the softest possible tone.

“It’s okay if you don’t have to pay attention to what’s inside. It’s okay if you deny my words.”

Chloe, who had been lingering for a while, looked at her hands and hesitantly brought up a story.

“Actually···”
