Chapter 38 – The Princess’ Request (7)
Quack!
Patter.
My eyes opened because of a sudden loud sound and a small impact falling on my body.
My memory is hazy about what it is.
And my head hurts like it’s going to explode.
The moment I tried to get up from my lying position, I felt a huge pain in my stomach!
“Ugh!”
I automatically clutched my stomach and fell down.
What I felt in my hand was an unpleasant liquid.
When I lifted my hand and looked at the liquid on it, it was red-colored water…
Is this blood?
The moment you notice the pain in your stomach, it hurts tremendously even if you don’t move.
Thanks to that pain, my previous memories came back.
Yes, I had my stomach pierced by an Infector who was parasitic on a Gasta knight…
And it looks like he was summoned?
I fell down and looked around, holding my stomach as it hurt more and more.
The first thing that caught my eye was this almost half-destroyed building.
And in that direction, I could see the figure of the Gasta Knight stuck on the wall.
There is a hole in the gasta knight’s stomach bigger than the knife in my stomach.
It’s a hole almost the size of a human fist.
I was surprised to see this and looked to the side to see a person standing in a pose.
Her silver hair is flowing in a ponytail, and the beautiful woman with shining blue eyes has a distorted expression as if she is angry.
Although not as big as Ellie’s, her big breasts are bouncing around and the tight cheongsam on her body makes her feel at odds with the current world.
On her hands she wears black gauntlets.
Now you can tell just by looking at it.
That’s Lien, the character I raised, a martial artist.
“Li…N…?”
Now I can’t even use my strength, so I can barely make my voice come out.
“My lord!”
But Lien must have heard my small voice and turned around and ran towards me.
“Ah…Ah, how can you look like this? Isn’t Elina Freya around by any chance?”
Ah… I feel like I’m going to lose my mind again.
No, am I going to die?
I looked at the ceiling and slowly began to close my eyes.
〈Fury Wave〉
The ceiling above me flew away with a sound that echoed through the sky.
And an angel came down on me.
Are we really falling behind now?
“Jinunim!”
It feels like the sweet voice of an angel is sending me to heaven.
But does this sound like a voice I’ve heard before?
〈hill〉
The moment I thought I was dead, a warm energy began to circulate through my body.
When I opened my eyes again, there was Ellie, an angel, looking at me with tears in my eyes.
“Ellie? Ugh…”
When I get up, I no longer feel the stomach pain I felt earlier, but my head can’t turn because I just came back from death.
“Ellie! What are you doing? Where are you wandering around when my master is hurt!”
“I fell for Infector’s trick… I’m sorry, Jinu.”
When Lien screamed, Ellie apologized to me.
Ah, I’m starting to come to my senses now.
Looking at Lien, it seems like she was successfully summoned.
She thought she was dead when she was struck by the Infector and sent flying into her room.
The moment I thought it was really the end, what I saw was the armor hanging in the room.
It was a game item I recognized just by looking at it.
I don’t know what kind of coincidence this was, but I tried to shout out the summons right away, and at that moment, a cool hole opened up in my stomach.
“Wait a minute, Lien! Let’s first sort out the situation and talk later.”
Just looking at Lien’s expression in front of me right now, I felt like she was going to grab Ellie, so I intervened.
“Ha! I understand, my lord. Please order me anything.”
As soon as she heard me, Lien knelt down in front of me and bowed her head.
“Lien, did you do that gasta article stuck over there?”
“Yes! Under the circumstances, he is my lord’s enemy and I have dealt a proper blow to someone who dared to cause harm.”
Worthy?
Well… Since the hole was pierced with a pear bread, it looks like the wound was similar.
Is that enough to make me dead?
Fortunately, the gasta knight was not dead, and his fingers began to move little by little.
《Kwaak! What on earth is this…”
The Gasta Knight, or rather the Infector, must have come to his senses and was pinned to the wall, spitting out blood from his mouth.
The Infector guy seems to have lost consciousness for a moment due to Lien’s attack.
No, honestly, it’s more surprising that I didn’t die in one hit from that attack.
Is this the body of a sword master?
《I should be invincible when I gain the body of a sword master… But what about you guys… No? Girl, how did you escape again?”
I don’t understand why Lien went into a dying state after a single attack, but the Infector seemed very confused as even Ellie escaped from the dungeon.
Judging from that reaction, it seems like the person who was sucked into the makeshift dungeon he created has never come out again.
“Has the Infector entered Sir Gasta’s body?”
“Yes. After you were sucked into a makeshift dungeon because of that guy, he became a parasite on Gasta Knight and went on a rampage, so I thought he was behind you.”
Ellie’s expression became serious after hearing what I said.
“Okay.”
Ellie walked towards the Infector, grabbed him by the neck that was pinned against the wall, and threw him to the floor.
“Everyone is gathered here!”
In line with that, Yuria also came down from the sky as if she had promised.
“The Yuria Gasta article contains the Infector who put us in a makeshift dungeon. Can you take us out?”
“What? That bastard was here? Come here.”
Yuria grabbed Gasta Knight’s face with her iron claws and lifted it up with one hand.
“Now, do you want to jump out? I’ll kill you.”
“Kuuuuu!”
Infector tried to resist Yuria, but the Gasta Knight’s body was already in ruins, so there was no way.
In the end, the Infector had no choice but to escape from the Gasta Knight’s body.
Yuria lightly threw her body backwards from the gasta knight, and Ellie caught it and laid her on the floor, then used her 〈 heal 〉 to quickly recover.
The Infectors, who had escaped from the body of the Gasta Knight, were scattered in pieces in the room and tried to escape, wondering if they wanted to live.
However, the moment he escapes from the gasta knight’s body, he is as good as dead.
〈 Meng Hao Meteor Fist 〉
It is a martial artist’s skill to approach nearby enemies and deliver blows one by one.
Lien moved at a speed that my eyes could not follow, stamping each piece of the Infector with her fist.
《Kaaaaak! A grand ambition becomes so vain…》
“Die.”
“Now, wait a minute, Lien. Stop!”
The moment Lien was about to punch the last remaining piece, I stopped her.
“Hey, Infector. How did you get here? And how do you have intelligence on the subject of Infector?”
It was a sudden incident during Byhamos, but it was understandable since it was said to have appeared in connection with the summoning of Ellie.
But this guy probably didn’t appear at that time, and he even looks like a demon I don’t know.
“A body that has already been finished… You guys… Will never know… This continent will soon be devoured by our Void! Haha!”
What is this crazy noise? Has the taste finally gone?
The moment I thought that, the Infector’s body slowly turned into dust and began to disappear.
No? Throwing rice cakes like that and dying?
The Infector disappeared in an instant because it was already broken into small pieces.
Ha… I’m still busy with Demon, so what now? Boyd?
I’m going to turn away.
Wow, really, how on earth am I getting involved in something like this?
There is one thing that worries me more than that.
The palace that Lien and Ellie blew up…
Surely I shouldn’t be asking this?
I heard from Ellie that Yuria, who came out of the makeshift dungeon, freed the people who had been parasitized by the Infector, and that Ellie was looking for me alone when she suddenly heard a loud noise and came flying.
When I returned to where Mr. Aria was, carrying the unconscious Gasta driver, most of the people were in ruins, but no one seemed to be seriously injured.
It is said that most of the parasitized people were powerless, so even though they could not free the parasites, they were quickly subdued under Aria’s command, and Yuria eliminated them all.
“Jinu! Are you okay?”
When Aria, who was taking care of the people, spotted us, she ran towards us.
“Ah… She almost died, but it looks like she somehow managed to resolve it. She also took down the Infector that was parasitic on Gasta Knight.”
“Thank God. It looks like Lord Gasta is safe too. Huh? That person behind you…?”
Aria asked me, pointing her hand towards Lien.
“My name is Lien. I’ll explain the details later.”
“Uh… Yes, I understand. Let’s get this sorted out first.”
First of all, people who were even slightly injured were recovered through Ellie.
It seems that the parasitized people have not yet come to their senses, and among them was Prince James.
It seemed like there were no royals inside the castle right now other than Prince James and Mr. Arias.
According to Mr. Arias, they live scattered across castles other than Brighton Castle and gather again when there are special meetings.
Under the direction of Mr. Aria’s father, he quickly began to organize it.
Having contributed greatly to resolving the Infector incident, we decided to stay for a while where the guests were staying.
Of course, all four of us are in the same room.
I’m tired, I’m tired…
As I sat down on the bed, I could see Lien bowing down right in front of me.
“Lien?”
“Hello, my lord! I wasn’t able to properly greet you a moment ago! It’s an honor to finally meet you!”
Wow, what is this again?
“Wake up, Lien, you don’t have to do that to me.”
“I can’t do that! How can I look my lord straight in the face!”
I never thought there would be a character who considers me more sacred than Ellie…
Then there is only one way.
“Lien, wake up right now. This is an order.”
“Yes!”
As soon as I spoke in a command tone, Lien got up immediately.
I think we’ll have to talk to him this way for the time being.
“Wow~~!”
Yuria jumped into the bed behind me and I felt her weight, causing the bed to cave in.
Thanks to this, I also fell backwards and ended up lying on top of Yuria.
“Let’s lie down together, Jinu~~.”
When I tried to stand up, Yuria held my head in her arms.
Well, I’m tired, so it would be nice to just lie down like this.
“You… What are you doing to my lord, Yuria!”
As Yuria picked me up, Lien screamed in surprise with her red face.
They probably thought the sight of Yuria naturally embracing me, who was like the sky, was ridiculous.
I wanted to tell her not to worry, but she was so tired that she started to fall asleep.
“For now… Let’s take a nap and talk.”
As everything became bothersome, I closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep.
@
Jinunim began to fall asleep in Yuria’s arms.
Lien’s expression distorted, as if she didn’t like that sight.
“Hey! How rude is that to my lord? You can’t leave right now!”
“Shh! Be quiet, Lien. Jinu said she just fell asleep.”
Lien’s hands are shaking as if she is having a hard time holding back her anger.
“Lien, please don’t be too angry because Jin-nim gave permission.”
“Ha… Okay, let’s leave it at that for now. What about the other kids besides you?”
“Not yet. Ellie came here first, and I came here next. Lien came third.”
After hearing those words, Lien leaned against the wall and crossed her legs.
“I’m the third… I don’t like it. By what criteria? It couldn’t have been… My lord’s choice, right?”
Lien has a tendency to always want to be Jinunim’s first.
So I guess she doesn’t like the fact that she’s been summoned for the third time.
“We don’t know that yet. I believe she is summoned randomly.”
“Really? First, explain in detail what happened so far.”
I tried to explain to Lien in detail what had happened since I met Jinu.
Smart!
At that time there was a knock on the door.
“Excuse me. Can I come in?”
When I heard the voice, it seemed to be Aria.
“Jinunni is asleep right now. Do you have anything to do with Jinunni?”
“Then that’s good. There was something I wanted to talk about only with the Ellies. Can I come in?”
After we gave permission, Aria came into the room.
“You must have been very tired. Well, that’s good. Eli, Yuria, and Lien? What exactly is your relationship with Jinu?”
“As I said last time, Jinu is the one who gave us strength. Without Jinu, we wouldn’t be able to exist.”
It’s such a natural thing.
Now I can’t imagine a world without Jinunim.
“I see. Then… I want to be with Jinu, so there shouldn’t be a problem.”
