Chapter 41 – One Rose (3)
Lien’s words instantly silenced the banquet hall.
Who would have thought that she would reject the Sword Master’s marriage proposal?
Considering Lien’s behavior so far, I thought that of course she would refuse.
After hearing Lien’s story, Gasta Knight took a breath and stood up from her seat.
“As expected, they won’t accept it. Although I expected it! Haha.”
And she laughs out loud as if she is relieved.
Lien is still frowning on her face as if she is upset.
She turned her head as if she didn’t want to see the driver, and our eyes met hers.
“My lord!”
She runs towards me with a bright voice that makes me wonder if she is the owner of the harsh voice from a moment ago.
“Huh? It’s Jinunim~~!.”
Besides Lien, Ellie and Yuria, who were also with me, came towards me.
“I’m sorry, everyone. I borrowed Jinu for a moment.”
“It’s a promise at that time, so don’t worry too much, Aria.”
When I listen to Ellie and Aria talking to each other, it seems like they let me and Aria stay together for a while.
“Ellie, Yuria, and Lien, shall we go for a short walk together?”
I called the three of us separately and went out to the other side of the backyard where I was with Aria.
“It’s crazy because there are so many people. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Although there were rude guys who flirted with me sometimes.”
“I like a lot of delicious food!”
“It would have been okay if it hadn’t happened a little while ago.”
Fortunately, it seems like he enjoyed it to some extent.
“Ellie, what did you talk about with Aria?”
“He asked me what to do next. And… He said he wanted to tag along on our trip.”
With us?
“That… Won’t be easy. Ellie, what did you say?”
“I had the same thought as Jinu. It would be impossible to fight against a powerful demon with Aria’s power.”
The reason Aria was helpful in this fight against Infector was because she was a monster of the right level.
Of course, I was able to intervene in the battle as well.
If a raid boss-level monster appears like Vihamoth last time, there will be very few people other than my characters who can help.
“Did you tell Aria well?”
“I spoke to you so you could understand as best as possible.”
I’m glad you understood.
Then I’ll have to talk about it separately later…
“How are you doing, Lien? Have you adapted to life here?”
“I don’t mind hell, as long as I have my lord.”
“Well, I like being with you right now too.”
Since meeting Ellie, my life in this world has changed incomparably.
“I guess I’ll just have to stay here a little longer and decide where to go.”
“Like with Byhamoth, it’s frustrating not knowing what demons will come out and when they’ll come out.”
“If a higher-ranking entity than Byhamoth appears, it will be difficult to fight while protecting the main army. I think I will have to have someone else evacuate the main army and then fight.”
It was said that the reason why Byhamoth suddenly appeared last time was because it came through a dimensional rift that occurred when Ellie was summoned.
It is highly likely that this happened when Lien was summoned this time.
Seeing that there is no answer after calling God once, it can be assumed that he is putting all his effort into blocking the dimensional gate.
Moreover, the summoning location is within the kingdom, so if a demon is suddenly summoned here, a much bigger disaster than the Infector will occur.
I’m also worried that I don’t know which demon will come over.
Unless there is a Crusader as a buffer, the only opponent Ellie can easily defeat by fighting alone is a level 90 raid boss.
If three more people attack the level 95 raid boss, you can somehow win, but it will be difficult to deal with it as quickly as in Byhamoth.
And if a level 100 raid boss appears… Then you can never win.
The raid boss itself has health and defense set based on the assumption that a Crusader is in the party, so without it, it is difficult to inflict even a single wound.
In addition, you can’t inflict proper damage, and if you get hit even once without the defense that the Crusader increases, you can die instantly.
The reason I’m trying to summon the character as soon as possible is also because I don’t have a Crusader.
“I miss Freya… If she’s here, she can defeat any demon that comes her way!”
“The buffs that Freyja gives are truly outstanding. They are incomparable to the buffs that a typical priest gives. Freyja said that it was all thanks to Jinu’s power.”
Since it is the only buffer on my account, I spent a lot of money to upgrade the specifications, although it is less than the main account, Renia.
“But if I’m with you guys, I can take down any enemy.”
“Yes! If I’m with you, I’ll be able to win even if Modeus comes!”
The demon called Modeus is the level 100 raid boss.
I’m sorry, Yuria, but if that guy comes, we’ll have to run away with all our might…
But she didn’t say anything and just patted Yuria’s head.
“The reason I asked you to take a walk was because I wanted to tell you something.”
I walked ahead alone, leaving the three people standing.
“It may have been a while since Lien came over, but… Still, having you guys was a big help.”
I don’t know if it’s Aria’s taste, but there are a lot of red roses blooming even outside of the backyard.
I picked 3 roses by hand.
And he handed one flower to Ellie, Yuria, and Lien.
“I’m still lacking a lot, but please take good care of me in the future as well.”
As Ellie received her rose from me, tears began to form in her eyes.
“I don’t think it’s enough… Just having Jinunim there is enough for me.”
Since I worked as a Gasta driver earlier, I think I know very well what my actions mean.
“Please take care of me too, Jinu!”
Yuria seemed to be feeling better as she ran into my arms and hugged me.
“Thank you, I will do my best to become your master’s best confidant!”
Lien said as she sat there on her knees as if pledging her allegiance.
We stood there for a while, continuing our current feelings.
“Then shall we go back?”
It ended shortly after we returned to the banquet hall.
“Jinuni…”
As soon as I entered the room, Ellie ran towards me and our lips locked together.
For a short period of time, we explored each other’s mouth with our tongues.
“Me too!”
As soon as Ellie and I parted our lips, Yuria rushed in to kiss me.
“Haha, haha.”
It looks like he’s been on the switch ever since I handed him the rose earlier.
Licking!
Yuria licked my cheek with her tongue like she was eating ice cream.
And the deep kiss that followed was passionate.
It felt like everything in my mouth was being sucked in.
“Yuria, wait a minute.”
I stopped Yuria for a moment because I thought she would be attacked right away if I left her there.
“Come here, Lien.”
Perhaps because they were shocked by Ellie and Yuria’s actions, they just stood there without saying anything.
“Ah, ah. Yes, my lord!”
After hearing my words, Lien seemed to have come to her senses and quickly came to me.
“You seem very surprised.”
“Well… I didn’t know you had already spent the night with Ellie and Yuria…”
I naturally thought that Lien knew that we had already spent the night together, but it seems not.
“It looks like you didn’t hear. Then, shall we try Lien too?”
“That… That… Please take care of me… That’s it.”
Lien, who always tried to be confident in front of me, suddenly became shy and I found her cute.
After lightly kissing Lien, we all climbed onto the bed together.
I think I had the most intense night in this world that day.
It’s amazing that my stamina lasted as long as it did.
After a few days of living in the palace in preparation for the demon that would appear after summoning Lien, the demon finally appeared, breaking through her dimension.
Contrary to my worries, it was a higher level monster than the Infector, but it was not even Vihamos level, so I was able to defeat it easily.
In order to learn about Demon’s power, Gasta Knight joined in and easily defeated Demon, living up to his reputation as a Sword Master.
From what I saw from the side, I think it would be enough to cause damage to Byhamos if it fought with all its might.
If the Infector living in the Gasta Knight’s body at that time had gotten used to my body much faster, my head would have been blown off in an instant instead of fighting like I did that day.
Now that all matters in the Kingdom of Brittinya have been resolved, I am ready to leave.
When we left the gate, Aria was waiting there.
“You’re finally leaving.”
“Yes, I really enjoyed meeting Aria.”
After hearing what I said, Aria looked sad, as if she was sad to leave.
“Can we meet again?”
“You promised, right? I’ll definitely need your help to destroy the dimensional gate later. We’ll meet again then.”
She held the hand of Aria, who looked like she was about to cry.
“This?”
As her hands fall from each other, Aria appears surprised to see a rose in her own hand.
I picked one before coming here today.
“You gave it to me as a gift, right? That’s my answer at the time. I don’t know if this is right.”
“Well… Well, since you said you were leaving soon… I was giving up… But…”
After hearing what I said, Aria ended up crying.
I gave Aria a light hug.
“Don’t cry too much. I can’t afford it right now so I’m leaving, but I’ll definitely meet you again later, Aria. No, Aria.”
“Yes. Did you promise? Otherwise, I will search the entire continent to find you!”
When he first gave me a rose, I didn’t realize it for a moment, but I thought it was a long time ago that someone else gave a rose to me at the banquet.
But when she said that Aria, who didn’t necessarily have to travel with us, wanted to go, I knew I was right.
So I wanted to travel with her even more, but unfortunately, it would be difficult to keep up with Aria’s strength.
We parted ways for now, but promised to meet again later and left the castle.
