Chapter 173 – Chapter 173 ― Growing Power, Collapsing Walls (1)
Episode 173 ― Growing Power, Collapsing Wall (1)
“Grünent?”
While Roan was talking with Elenier, Grunent appeared with Aina.
Ernear looked at Grunent for a moment with surprised eyes, then she asked with a gentle expression.
“Are you all better already? Can I move?”
“Yes. Thanks for counting. Eleanor-sama.”
The three days that Grunent had been bedridden.
Erenia also sent her medicine man and the medicine that was said to be good for her body to Grünent.
The emperor’s wedding is not a common man’s wedding.
It is a national festival,
A chance for a ruler to show off his power and consolidate his connections.
What to do with such a wedding
Eleanor, who will become the future hostess of the castle.
And Grünent was helping Elenia by taking on a lot of difficult tasks.
She was absent for three days,
She was even unable to attend bedtime.
Due to the combination of Roan’s enthusiasm to somehow advance Elenier’s favorability strategy and the unavoidable situation, the recent Elenier was as pale as Grünent.
“… That’s good.”
After smiling at Grünent, Erenia fiddled with her necklace for a while, then turned to Roan.
“Roan♡ Then, I’d like to wrap this up like this and talk to Grünent about the things we haven’t decided yet.”
“Hmm.”
As many women came and went in and out of the bedroom, the thing I was most worried about was Eleanor.
This is because she was the most heterogeneous character in the actual game, and even now, the solo attack system is unique, making her nervous.
There are even times when she sees other women with hostility in her eyes.
So, when Erenier talked about her with Grünent, Roan would always use her skills to the fullest to examine her Erenier.
Fortunately, I don’t feel her will to attack or hate from Erenia’s remarks today.
“Since you have to visit Swin Lake 15 days after the ceremony, I adjusted the schedule for her reception in consideration of that schedule. How are you, Eleanor?”
It was this morning that he woke up from the sick bed, and in the meantime, Grünent made a schedule for Elenia.
I admire her ability.
Roan, who had quietly risen from her seat, suddenly stopped.
“Eleanor, Grunent. For a moment.”
The two women look back at Roan.
All of a sudden, the holy power gathered in his hands enveloped Erenia, Grünent, and Aina before disappearing.
Eleanor’s eyes became round,
Grünent and Aina smiled.
It’s a ‘Star Blessing’.
Like her habit, Erenia’s hand, which was heading for the pendant around her neck, stopped.
“Even if there were signs, it’s a strange thing.”
Erenia swiped her arm instead of her necklace. For her who uses her curses and demon arts, her holy power is the same as her nemesis.
Still, she was a force to be reckoned with.
“Roan’s holy power. Of course, if there is someone among the demons who needs to gain holy power, of course it will be Roan♡”
While Erenia stayed at the castle during her New Year’s holiday, she wrote her a star’s blessing.
The story that I received the blessing of the goddess at a worship service not too long ago spread through the mouths of demons.
I haven’t felt any strong force since.
Ancient divine magic such as the light ‘Star Blessing’ or basic divine magic learned from Helen can be freely used in the castle.
It was liberating and revealing one of its weaknesses.
However, after realizing its true efficacy, ‘Star’s Blessing’ became a magic that was used as much as ‘Detection’. Being able to use a blessing without having to notice anyone has become a much bigger advantage than I thought.
“I will not disturb you any more. Wake up.”
Roan, who stroked Elenir’s cheek, quietly stood up.
Aina, who guards Grunent’s side, and Elenir’s maids greeted Roan, and Helen followed Roan out of the tearoom as she left.
“Master’s magic has definitely gotten stronger.”
Helen praised as soon as she left the tearoom.
Roan was proud.
After all, Knowledge 59 and 60 are different!
“Hmm. You can feel the burden too. You seem to have grown up.”
“I am proud. Then I can finally teach you the next level of divine magic.”
Helen smiled brightly.
“Good idea. But I don’t think it’s suitable today.”
As Roan turned her body around, Helen turned her gaze in the direction Roan was looking.
End of the hallway with no one there.
But soon a man appeared around the corner. Helen widened her eyes.
“… Your majesty.”
On the other side of the hallway, Diobe spotted Roan and greeted him.
At Roan’s ability to notice her presence before she could be seen, Helen swallowed her admiration into herself.
“Is it today’s report?”
“That’s right. If you were talking to Helen, later…”
At the words of Diobe, who had a mutual respect for Helen, Roan bit her Helen.
“No. Helen. So let’s talk about it later. For now, go back to Grünent and have him wait.”
“All right. Master.”
Diobe, dressed in his training uniform, greeted Helen again.
The sight of the police drill instructor and Roan entering the office together was a familiar sight to the secretary.
After each exchanged greetings with the secretary, and sat down in the office chair, Roan checked the quest message that appeared in his field of vision.
[Message: Third Quest — Duplicating Skills from the Knights of the Realm!]
[Message: Timeout — 22:20:45:18]
[Message: If you do not complete the quest within the time limit, you will be penalized.]
‘When should I attack Diobe?’
Four days later, he got married to Elenia.
From May, a fortnight after her wedding, she has to go to Swin Lake, her hometown in Erenia.
She attributes it to her demonic custom of visiting women’s hometowns together and bringing her enemies from her homeland to men.
Of course, this doesn’t happen in the game.
Because of that, she had to ask Aranya for a special lecture about her demon marriage.
‘We used to hunt together, but it’s not like that anymore.’
It means that a married couple can live well only when they are able to hunt hand in hand together.
An old, dead habit that no one cares about anymore.
The reason is, there are too many demons who died while hunting monsters.
Anyway, there are many things to do before going to Swinho to secure waypoints.
I have to talk to the forest fairy who shot the arrow in a radical way,
I have to go to Spross to help find the Count’s younger sister and raise a cub.
It’s a breathless schedule.
“This is the report of today’s training.”
Diove talks to Roan about her training achievements with her flushed face, but
Roan was immersed in other thoughts while resting his chin leisurely.
‘Attack… If she wants to take her, she’ll have to at least do it before she goes to her Swin Lake.’
Diobe’s tastes are known through games.
If she has a relationship while she is naked, or if she is raped while restrained somewhere, her likability rises exponentially.
Analysis of players
It’s because I’m excited by immorality.
Oneself as a ‘traitor’ against the life of a knight who lived straight.
Even though she was abducted by the demon king, Diobe’s position was that it was right for her to serve the demon king anyway, so she openly chose to betray her.
As she checked her own situation,
Did she say that she felt liberated by being violated by the hero?
‘Then I’m not a warrior… What about me?’
Diobe’s favorability rating is +60 or higher, which is not strange to have sex with.
Even without ‘detection’, she already knows that she has a crush on me and is at a loss.
When Roan’s face lightly smiled as he recalled the illustrations in her game.
Whether she finished reporting,
Diobe’s voice suddenly stopped.
“That is all. Your majesty.”
“Hmm.”
Roan looked at Diobe with a pleased expression.
Today, too, D.O.B. Is wearing training clothes that fit her body.
Unlike the formal knight’s uniform, that women’s training suit is, from a modern point of view, a tight-fitting leggings or leotard-like bodysuit.
Men’s knight’s uniform or uniform is similar to the modern era, and is a costume worn with a shirt, pants, and jacket,
Female knights often wore training suits designed to fit snugly so that fluttering clothing did not get in the way.
And when Dio Vega, a humanoid, puts on this suit, she has destructive power almost comparable to that of a succubus.
Roan carefully scanned Diobe up and down.
It is a piece of clothing that cannot be overlooked.
Clothes that reveal the curvature of the body as it is.
Her huge I-cup breasts, narrow waist, and hips that are just as voluptuous as her breasts show through.
Perhaps if this was a country of humans rather than a country of demons, she might have been arrested for disorderly conduct.
The clothes Diobe was wearing in the game was a maid uniform. Because she’s a maid.
But the bodysuit Diobe is wearing right now is so amazing that I can’t remember the illustration of that maid outfit.
Probably none of the players know.
A scene that only I can see.
A smile appeared on Roan’s face.
“Your Majesty, are you doing well?”
“Good… I am thinking.”
Roan replied in a relaxed voice with a faint smile on her usual languid expression.
“Is that so?”
Diobe gave a firm answer, but
Her face is full of an expression of concern.
Because it is the thoughts of the person who yearns for it.
And while Diobe is in conflict,
Roan asked another question.
“Come to think of it. Diobe, have you decided?”
“Yes?”
“When you come to the capital, you said you would give me a present.”
Diobe’s eyes widened.
“Because I have to keep doing big things in the near future, I won’t have a chance to be alone with you for a while. Have you thought of a present?”
And Diove bit her lip.
There is something to think about
In fact, the moment she said His Majesty would grant her what she wanted, the thought literally struck into her brain like a thunderbolt.
But that
A wish she couldn’t get out of her mouth.
Roan noticed her clenching her fists. Her fingernails dug into her soft palms.
“Diobe.”
The emperor slowly got up.
He returned to the desk and sat comfortably in front of it.
Thanks to,
The distance from Diobe, who was standing in front of the desk in the office and reporting to the emperor, is less than 50 cm.
Diobe’s breath, which she exhaled slowly with all her might, reached Roan.
“Anything is fine. Speak.”
Her amethyst eyes peering into her shone like her jewels. However, Diobe could not bear to open her mouth despite the emperor’s prompting.
Should I get help from ‘Miheun’?
Roan is thinking.
Diove made up her mind.
A dream is a dream
What disappears when broken.
Even for one night,
To be held in his arms
It was just a dream that came to my mind.
Dio Vega, who captured his heart, carefully opened his mouth.
“What were you thinking and smiling like that?”
“… Hmm?”
At the unexpected words, the emperor widened his eyes.
Just this boyish look is enough to compensate.
Diobe smiled lightly.
“It will be a gift to me by letting you know His Majesty’s thoughts.”
Vivid red concentric circles appeared in Roan’s eyes.
It seems that Diobe will not be honest unless he really mobilizes ‘Miheun’.
“You have a bad habit. You always lie.”
“… Yes?”
A sudden negative evaluation.
Embarrassment appeared on Diobe’s face,
Soon, her face turned cold.
She is the one who makes her demons follow what Roan directs,
Loyalty and truth are indispensable for such actions.
She said it as if her loyalty was questioned.
Diove put on her wounded face.
The likability level subtly went down by 1 with a muffled sound.
“What… Are you talking?”
“Is knowing my thoughts a gift to you? I know how you feel about me. They said it was a gift and anything was allowed, but is it really okay with that?”
“…”
It was an unexpected direct hit.
Diobe’s face turned bright red.
Without being able to say anything, she opened her mouth a few times and then sighed.
Roan lowered her eyes, then slightly bent her back to meet Diobe’s eyes.
“Good. I wanted to know what you were thinking. Then, can you tell the secretary outside to leave?”
“… Yes?”
Roan smiled softly.
“When we’re alone, I’ll show you. What I was thinking.”
I could see Dio Ve in her flushed face biting her lip.
The olive-colored eyes shook wildly, half in anticipation and half in fear.
