Chapter 260 – Relationships Change.

The moment when an opportunity like a thousand gold fell.

As much as possible, the possibility is not judged by luck.

Gleipnir was not thrown simply by relying on intuition.

The intangible movement using the heart was only to the extent of dropping a leaf with just the gaze without using the hands.

Ultimately, it’s up to you to use it.

It made a small hole as if a needle had passed through the thick black smoke without hardness.

Fleeting time.

There were things that could be caught through the smoke that was quickly covered.

Above all, the clear vision, the sound of gasping coughs, the sound of footsteps pushing on the floor trying to grasp a loosening knee, the sound of holding onto a hard sacrifice box.

The combination of Romerius’ elixir and trained senses quickly secured the enemy’s position.

Piing-!

At the tip of the thrown Gleipnir.

I could feel the distinct texture of the flesh and bones of the creature.

When I pulled the chain and retrieved it, I heard the sound of it collapsing.

“…”

I thought I had stopped breathing, but I hid myself in the smoke and waited for a while.

It was only when I was convinced that I raised my lowered posture.

“It’s smoky. Both of you close your eyes and hold your breath.”

Bang!

A stomp that stores mana and spreads power widely. Black smoke spreads out like a donut.

As the fragments of the black sword, the cause of the smoke, scattered, the decapitated black magician was properly caught in sight.

The dark space in which we were imprisoned was beginning to collapse very slowly from above.

Light streamed in through the cracks and began to illuminate the interior.

“Uh…!!”

“Roman-sama!!”

The high-pitched sounds of the two are heard at the same time as the sunlight completely illuminates the field of vision.

I gripped the Gleipnir, which had been drooping in surprise, again.

“What! What’s wrong?”

I looked around to see if I had missed anything at the urgent voices of Lilyne and Alice.

It wasn’t that the dead warlock’s neck was reattached, and it wasn’t that a new enemy had appeared.

“Wounds…!”

“It’s dangerous because there’s so much bleeding!! Boo, even a bandage!”

The two of them stumbled closer and reached out their hands as if trying to do something.

He couldn’t directly touch his body, and his eyes trembled nervously.

“Ah!! What else am I saying?”

It certainly didn’t look good on the outside.

At the end, the black sword is shattered, and hard fragments run rampant with explosions and flames.

Looking properly under the bright light, the wounds here and there on the body were incomprehensible.

Just looking at the arm he blocked directly, there were quite a few deep cuts, so if it wasn’t for the blood demon’s resistance to bleeding, he might have been dizzy.

‘If the scars increase, Rike will notice right away…’

Even if a small scar increases, Rike, who finds it like a ghost, waits at the mansion, so you shouldn’t leave the wound like this.

Eclair and Chloe also remember almost all of the recent scars on my body.

…

Pong-!

Roman took out a potion from somewhere, drank two whole bottles, then took out a few more and started spraying them on himself.

After a series of processes are over, she brushes her damp hair and raises her gaze.

I was staring blankly at the lighted ceiling, which was scattered like dust.

“Ro, Mr. Roman!”

“Huh?”

A faint smile as he looked back.

He had a face that was unimaginable because he had been through a fierce battle before.

In the mood for her relaxation, Lilyne realized that she had survived the warlock’s hands.

“Thank you so much.”

“Thank you too…!!”

Alice had already put her mind at ease since the Romans came.

Lilyne’s voice trembled with emotion, perhaps from the relief that she was free from her fears.

“Thank you. Lach and Chambers look fine, but are they both injured?”

“Thanks, no problem…”

“I’m not hurt either!”

– Shiiik!

She smiled when she saw Tero blinking, saying that she was fine too.

“I’m glad.”

It seemed like it would take quite a while for the space to be fully resolved.

How solid and detailed the space is.

As if pulling a thread off a piece of clothing, it slowly unraveled in a circle from the top.

-Thud! Thud!
-Hey!! Hey!! Won’t this break?
-Lakh! It’s being canceled, so if you just wait…
…

“The two outside seem to be fine.”

“Whew – I’m glad.”

“They’re both in good spirits. Get up and move right away.”

Their outward appearance is intact, but the coping with getting the two who were struggling to get away from the warlock was the right thing to do.

Through the cracks in the empty ceiling, the sound of banging on the walls and voices could be heard.

‘···.’

Lilyne slightly turned her gaze to Roman.

‘How can he be able to stand still after receiving such magic…?’

Do you understand the feeling of not showing off? Can never be sane

If it was black magic, it wouldn’t be a normal shock enough to say that it would kill people with only pain.

It was amazing how much pain Roman could endure.

Charreuk- charreuk-

Singing a hum song, wiping chains with holy water and tidying up afterward.

Until now, I wondered if he was the person who had faced the huge explosion and danger with his body.

It’s not that there’s no tension when it’s over, it’s even that it looks carefree.

‘He really is a different person.’

Beyond the problem of different levels of strength, it felt like even the mind was like hardened steel.

Somehow, my gaze won’t fall, so I’m stealing a glance.

Roman’s gaze, which stopped his hand, turned to him.

“Lily.”

“Yes, yes?!”

A smiling face and a lowered voice.

When Roman’s voice called her name, Lilyne was startled and shook her shoulders.

“I’m sorry to say this all of a sudden. No matter how bad the situation is, you shouldn’t be willing to sign a contract, especially with a warlock.”

“Ah… You’re right.”

I don’t know how you heard it.

Knowing that obvious fact, she lowered her head.

“I know. That the situation at that time had no choice but to be that way. I understand if you think it’s unpleasant for me to nag you about past events.”

“I never thought of that!”

“Anyway, to preach a bit more. A warlock who wants a contract has something he desperately wants.

“!!!”

“In that case, even if the warlock puts a condition on the contract—-.”

I couldn’t hear the back words of kind advice.

When someone told me that I was pretty regardless of whether I was of the opposite sex or of the same sex, I was at a loss as to how to respond, so I just laughed every time.

‘This is pretty…’

For the first time, it felt different.

Lilyne couldn’t even smile to contain her embarrassment.

“Until you find an opportunity to raid, you can’t shut your mouth tight and give no answers like Alice. The most important thing in battle is to survive, right? But paradoxically, making a contract with a warlock is worse than dying.”

“T-That’s not persuasive if you say it in that state of mind…!!”

Haha!! I’m an exception.”

“…”

As she watched Roman act in his usual lighthearted manner, she was moved and tears welled up in her eyes.

Even though he did the most to save himself and Alice right away.

I wasn’t sure what to say here.

“Don’t cry.”

Her heart thumped even more at the soft touch that wiped her eyes and her playful voice.

I couldn’t look into Roman’s eyes like I usually do.

“I don’t know···.”

“Nagging in no way diminishes the attitude of devotion. It certainly deserves respect and praise. I said it out of concern for what might happen, so don’t be offended.”

“Huh···.”

With a small voice, he nodded her head.

Roman smiled coolly, left the words to sit down and rest, and took a step away from himself.

And.

Doesn’t he have a lot of heart palpitations like himself?

I saw the girl crouching closer to Roman, placing his hand on his chest as if to calm his heart.

“Roman-sama…!”

“Why? What’s not good?”

As she approached, Lilyne saw Alice’s expression as she alternately looked at the floor and Roman.

Even an inexperienced person with no special experience could somehow understand how Alice was feeling.

“Are you really okay?”

“A wound like this is a little painful.”

Although from Lily’s and Alice’s point of view, the more they heard the words, the more excited they were.

Roman’s body is actually in a state where hemostasis has been completed.

The strength of the body and the increase in efficiency of the potions obtained from Romerius’ Elixir were shining.

When you see it through someone else’s eyes?

No matter how good the potions were, the speed was unbelievable.

“…Would you be staying outside like this. I wonder if the business you said you were there for personally is over!”

“It’s over.”

“I dare say. Wouldn’t it be better to go out and drop by the church right away…?”

– Siik!

At the end of her words, I patted Alice’s head, who used an ambiguous mix of ‘Yo’ and ‘Da’.

In fact, it’s a fair word without a doubt.

If you want to clean up the scars, meeting a priest is faster and more efficient than using potions.

“Then shall we go back to the capital?”

“I’m definitely in favor!”

“Isn’t it a pity that I didn’t learn anything after coming out?”

“Not at all…! Not at all!”

It hasn’t even been a day since I came out, but since the goal I was aiming for in the first place is over, I’m back to the capital.

Looking at Alice’s brightened expression, it was the right choice just by looking at it.

I can sense from the look in his eyes that he is worried, not afraid to go back.

Isn’t it her charm that she unintentionally reveals her emotions transparently?

“I’ll have to loosen up some muscles after treatment.”

“That, that… That treatment is off, when it’s over…!”

Seeing Alice rattled by her overload like a magic tool, Roman showed a kind smile and bent her knees to meet her gaze.

“Why? Feel free to say anything you want to say.”

“When Roman’s treatment is over…”

“Yeah. When it’s over?”

– Siik!

Terro swung her tail and patted the crown of her Alice’s head, urging her to cry.

“I-I can loosen up my muscles properly!”

“Have you learned anything in particular?”

Alice nodded vigorously as if her head was about to drop, and gently tugged on Roman’s collar with her face flushed as if it were on fire.

“So, if you go to the capital…”

The girl whispered her behind-the-scenes words into Roman’s ears, who were keeping her eye level with herself.

She looked at her Lilyne, who had given herself a lesson, with her face asking if Alice was this she did well.

-If you feel really certain, don’t hesitate.
– Just because a woman approaches first doesn’t mean it looks light, so don’t measure it.
-You don’t have to say it openly, but even if you express it indirectly, a man can fully understand it.

Etc.

She simply told Alice exactly what she had heard from her older sisters, who had a lot of life experience in consultations under the mountain range.

I know how big the difference is between listening and understanding and doing it, so I didn’t think any change would happen right away.

But exceptions exist everywhere.

What the hell did you just do with your theory?

Lily’s was half ignorant, so she was only surprised by Alice’s reckless behavior, which was able to output according to the theory.

There was no way that Roman could not understand this meaning as well, so she blinked her eyes at the answer.
