Chapter 92 – One Big Step Forward (1)
ㄴㅇㅇ(89.74): Onahole, control the entrance to the library now
ㄴㅇㅇ(89.74): Don’t let anyone come near
ㄴMagical Girl of Justice■: Yes
Laplace did not ask why.
The ruler’s orders are absolute.
No matter what happens, you have to keep it as a top priority.
And I knew the reason for the order the moment I arrived in front of the library.
‘Hugh?!… ♥Huh… Ugh!.. Oh♥ Ugh… Ah.. Huh!.. Sigh ♥ Hah… Sigh.!♥’
What kind of lucky female receives the ruler’s favor?
I felt in the morning‘Unknown emotions’This led Laplace to move his steps inside the library.
Spying on the ruler’s affairs without permission…
As an onahole, it was an overly arrogant behavior, but I couldn’t bear it.
‘…Helen Redrose?’
Surprisingly, it was the Red Rose family’s successor who was receiving favor.
Of course, an ordinary female would not be satisfactory in the eyes of the ruler.
Still, I never thought I would get my hands on ‘Red Rose’ so soon.
‘I didn’t receive grace today…’
Laplace, who had been watching the affair, bit his lip and walked out of the library, guarding the entrance as instructed.
…There were about 30 minutes left until ‘Elise’s Day’ ended.
Jeobeok- Jeobeok-
The Master walked out of the library, buttoning his shirt.
“Ah, Ian. “I will do it…”
“Are you okay. “I’ll take care of it.”
“…All right.”
“I called you more suddenly than that, but you did a good job.”
“…Oh…No. And maybe because it was Ellis’ day, there was no one there…”
Laplace closed his mouth without finishing his sentence.
Even if I don’t have to explain it, the omniscient ruler will know everything.
‘…Uh, then why me, ruler?’
It was strange.
If you knew no one would come anyway, why did you call me?
‘Is it because you want to see me?’
For a moment, his face almost turned red as he thought about it, but it was such a stupid idea.
The ruler was a man with deep meaning in every action and word.
Of course, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t reach the thoughts of the ruler, but I hoped to understand at least as much as the grime in his claws.
‘…For what reason… Why me? There must be an important reason why the ruler called me!!… How on earth… I… Ah!!!’
At that time, a shiver ran down Laplace’s spine.
This was the ruler’s revelation and test.
By showing him taking control of Helen… No, the Red Rose family, he was finally letting the crouching ruler know that it was time to stand up.
Burr-
Laplace trembled with ecstasy at the thought of passing the test.
Even though he gave me a lot of hints, it was still an ecstasy that came from being able to get even just a little closer to the ruler’s thoughts.
‘…Ah! …My eternal ruler!’
I didn’t even dare to become a ‘wife’ or ‘lover’ on an equal footing.
In the first place, in the eyes of the ruler, all humans are no different from monkeys.
…But among them, there was bound to be a monkey that I became more attached to.
‘The monkey I am most attached to’
That was exactly what Laplace wanted now.
“Well, you can go back now. Great job.”
“No… Ian. Thank you.”
Laplace bowed deeply and spoke with full sincerity.
Just being ‘tested’ by the ruler was proof that he was a little more ‘special’ than other monkeys.

May 7th.
Two days from Ellis’ day.
Helen, who thought she would come immediately to retrieve ‘her rose brooch’, was surprisingly calm and…
“…Estelle didn’t come today either.”
“I know…”
Estelle still didn’t go to school.
The homeroom professor said that Estelle was not feeling well and that she would be absent for a few days, but it was obvious that she was lying.
“…”
As she looked at Estelle’s empty seat, her heart sank.
‘…Estelle.’
Sigh-
She touched her forehead, but after she ‘recovered’ her wound disappeared without a trace.
She desperately wants to go see Estelle right away, but the fact that she hasn’t even started school means that she still needs some alone time.
I didn’t know that if I went to visit him, I would recall the memories of that day and cause him even more pain.
“Hey… But Ian.”
“Yes, Evelyn.”
“I told you I had something important to talk about this weekend. That being said, it’s a little bit…”
Ibelin, swallowing her words, chewed her lip and let out a deep sigh.
“…Ha, it’s nothing. “This weekend… We’re going on a date, right?”
“…Yes, I have to do it.”
Revealing the harem plan to Evelyn was not a decision taken lightly.
If I put it off this time, I didn’t know when I would be able to make up my mind again.
“Ha…Yeah.”
Her heart ached at the sight of Lee Belin sighing again as he looked at Estelle’s empty seat.
‘…Let’s focus on Evelyn for now.’
Even if I realized the feelings I had for Estelle, we were still just ‘classmates.’
The important thing to me now was Evelyn.
****
Sunday.
“Oh, are you here?”
Evelyn, dressed a little differently than usual, smiled broadly at me.
“Ibel…”
Tuk-
The moment I opened her mouth, Belin’s finger touched her lips.
“Ah!! Don’t try to speak right away. “First of all, enjoy your last day as a normal childhood friend.”
“…”
I didn’t mean to say that, but…
‘Just an ordinary childhood friend…’
As Evelyn said, no matter what the outcome was today, our ‘ordinary childhood friend’ relationship was over.
“Then, let’s go! “Ian!”
There’s no need to explain, my date with Evelyn was fun.
I enjoyed every single action, such as walking around the square chatting, drinking coffee at a cafe, going into any store and looking at crafts, or even reading fortunes at a suspicious-looking fortune teller.
…But the fun time was coming to an end.
Jeobeok- Jeobeok-
We held hands and walked along a gravel road in the forest just outside the shopping district.
Hehe~.”
“…”
The place where the steps stopped was an empty space with two stumps arranged like chairs.
It was a place that Ibelin had decided to be her secret place since childhood.
Now that I think about it, the fact that there was a gravel road nearby meant that a lot of people were walking around, so it would have been difficult to call it a secret place…
It was a place that contained many of her memories with Belin.
“Today was really fun. Right? “Ian?”
That made my heart hurt even more.
Also, this Belin chose this place as the last place of her date.
…And that I expected this.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“…What, was that reaction nervous? Hehe!”
Belin’s face turned red as he faced her.
Hehe!! Okay! Huh! I’m ready now. “You can say it!”
“…”
I couldn’t put it off any longer.
I took a long breath and slowly opened my mouth.
“…Eveline.”
“Hey… Wait a minute…”
Just by calling her name, Ibelin interrupted me as if he sensed something strange about her.
“W-wait… No, right? “I’m not mistaken, right?”
“Ibelin…”
“…No way…That’s impossible!! …Well, that can’t be possible! Do you know what your expression looks like right now? “That’s the look on my face when I said I was going to move out of my house and become independent!!”
“…Eveline.”
“Hey, what on earth are you trying to say? Ah, no, I don’t want to hear it!! Don’t do it!! Do not say!!”
Belin’s crying voice made her sound even sadder as it reminded her of how happy she had been just before.
“Oh, fuck! …Hey, well, let me just say it. Ian… I like you.”
“Yeah… I like Evelyn too.”
“Don’t pretend not to know!! …You know!! I don’t just like it!! I like you as a man! Now childhood friends… Sex partners aren’t enough! More… I want to go out with you more. I want to become a lover with you, get married, and have children!! …So don’t say what I’m about to say. Let’s not do it. Huh?”
“…Eveline.”
“No!! I don’t like it!! Okay… Please, I’m begging you… Ian… Don’t say anything… Just… Pretend like nothing happened…”
Sigh-
Evelyn, holding onto my collar, pleaded and said.
“Just kiss me…Ian…Huh? “That’s… That’s enough… Uh, we… That’s enough… We’re happy just with each other…”
Even if she cut out her own heart, it wouldn’t hurt as much as it does now.
But…
“…Sorry.”
I ended up spitting it out.
“…Why…Why!!…Kk…!!…Why…I…Ah…I shouldn’t…But…You said I’m pretty. !!! They say there’s no place that isn’t pretty from head to toe!!! Lee, Ian… I can really do anything you want… I can really do anything if you buy me and love me…”
“I love you already. “I would die many times for you.”
“Then why don’t you kiss me!!!!!”
Finally, unable to hold back her tears, Ibelin shouted:
“Why…!Why…Don’t you…Give me…?”
She smiled happily while looking at me, and I could see the image of Ibelin overlapping, and her mouth did not open easily.
I wanted to tell the truth about everything.
But if Evelyn told me, ‘Goddess Ellis told me that if I don’t have sex with other men, the world will end’, would I believe it?
You will never believe it.
And even if you believed it, it was a problem.
‘I will definitely end up blaming Alice.’
Just imagining it made me feel like I would hate Ellis so much.
I couldn’t make Evelyn like that.
And…
She meant that if I were to have a relationship with Mistress Ellis one day, Mistress Ellis would be my woman too.
I will not pass the responsibility on to my woman, even if she is my future woman.
In this situation, there was only one option for me to choose.
‘I become trash.’
No, I was already trash.
Now, if Elise suddenly tells her to live happily ever after with Ibelin since she no longer needs to collect ‘her fate power’, will she be able to do that?
It was impossible.
Both Eury and Laplace were already precious women to me.
Now I couldn’t even imagine abandoning someone.
Having made up my mind, I slowly opened my mouth.
“Eveline… I can’t love only you.”
“Hmm…?…What?…What?…Ugh…Me…I’m…Not…Enough…For you?…W-what. ..I don’t like it…But…No, I’ll fix it…No, I’ll fix it…Everything…I don’t like it…Everything…I’ll fix it. I guess…So…”
“No, I will tell you clearly, Evelyn. You are too much for me “I’m incredibly grateful and happy that you love me.”
“…Then!! Why!! Wow!!!…What’s the problem!! “Why am I not satisfied with myself!!!”
Wow-
Give strength to your legs.
Clench your fist.
Open your eyes wide.
With gritted teeth.
Taking one big step forward.
“Sex!
I screamed with the force of spitting out all the air in my lungs.
“Not enough sex!!!”
Then Evelyn, whose expression was a mixture of all kinds of negative emotions such as despair, frustration, fear, regret, responsibility, anger, remorse, and sadness…
“…Ah?”
He looked at me blankly for a moment as if he didn’t understand what I was saying…
Ah-ah-!!!
For the second time in my life, I gave a sincere slap.
