Chapter 1519 – Open Ceremony
“I would like to have a quick chat with you, my lord. Do you have time?”
Esther smiled brightly, befitting a priest.
It was a beautiful smile that would win a man’s favor, but it didn’t look good to me. My voice suddenly became sad.
“Is this a story that can’t be told here?”
“Ahaha.”
The sound of gentle laughter.
It’s such a pretty voice that you wouldn’t think of it as a woman who seduced someone else’s husband.
I motioned to the kites to go first and took a step closer to Esd.
“Let’s go that way.”
When I roughly pointed to a corner, Esd nodded and walked first.
But it wasn’t the place I pointed to, but a more corner place. I wanted to go to the back of the attraction, to the staff’s area, and then went even further in.
How far are you going? What are you talking about?
Actually, I can only guess roughly.
I called her over.
“I’m busy.”
Rope-chan will be coming to this territory soon!!
Renea says that no matter how sealed it is, you can put aside the influence of the Monster King’s energy and come to my territory for a while!
This means that I will show my pet, who loves scenery, a wonderful scenery.
It would be a waste to spend even one second of your time on this bitch.
The reason he follows along obediently even though it is annoying and annoying is because Esd will probably bring up Azria’s story.
She must have read my annoyed expression and stopped walking with an embarrassed expression.
“I’m sorry. Then shall we talk about it here?”
Eyes that seem to look up, a likable smile.
As before, it is a feminine gesture that naturally attracts a man’s favor. It is an act unbecoming of a priest.
An average man would have her status and quite a pretty face. I would have liked his friendly attitude. Unfortunately, I am a man who sees ultra-beautiful women and pretty girls every day.
“This.”
Esd took out a photo from her pocket.
The photo showed Azria wearing a school uniform. At first glance, you would never know it was her, but she looks like a gorgeous female student.
“What do you think?”
“He’s a pretty person.”
But what? Esd’s smile grew brighter when she saw the look in my eyes.
“You’re talking like I don’t know you~”
“What is it?”
“This person is Azria, right?”
“Hmm.”
I tilted my head.
“Azria, is this you?”
I wasn’t asking if this person was Azria.
I’m pointing out the title.
They are a warrior and a saint who represent the Holy Kingdom. Unless you are very close, call them by their title in public or in front of others.
She smiled brightly even though she knew what I meant.
“Yes. We are close~”
“Haha.”
How close are you to sharing a man?
“So, if someone you’re close to tries to go down the wrong path, wouldn’t you want to correct them?”
“Is this the wrong way?”
“My lord.”
Esd sparkled her eyes.
“Would you like to hear my repentance?”
“Hmm.”
I stroked my chin and thought for a bit, then stared at Esde.
I tried to look at it with my own very cold eyes, and my efforts paid off right away.
Because cracks appeared on her face, which was always relaxed, and a drop of cold sweat formed.
We didn’t say anything to each other.
There was a long silence, and in the end, it was Esd who couldn’t stand the silence.
“Dre is being quiet.”
“What you just said. If it means what I imagine… Were you trying to threaten me?”
As she raised the corners of her mouth, Esd stiffened her body.
Next moment. She bent her back to 90 degrees.
“I am truly sorry for daring to doubt my lord based on unclear information.”
“…”
“I will be punished.”
What a sinister woman.
This woman had no doubts. I still suspect that I have something to do with Azria.
Maybe. I’m half-thinking that Azria and her are having an affair.
And if I’m having an affair with Azria, she probably thinks I can’t touch her now.
The fault she committed against me now was that she suspected me of having an immoral relationship with her saint, and if I questioned her about it, she would try to put Azria in a difficult situation.
A man would want to make sure that she doesn’t get hurt, as she is absolutely adorable, so he thinks I won’t make any moves against her.
This is truly a bitch-like way of thinking and acting.
In addition to spreading unsavory rumors about Azria and me, she might also spread the rumor that her Ziggs cheated.
I can bury the rumors, so I can bury Azria for sure.
In that case, Esd will also fall, but are you willing to take that level of risk?
Is it bold? I guess I hate Azria to death.
But the good news is that this bitch is not sure.
Judging from the vague words I mentioned earlier, it seems like I only took a picture of Azria in her school uniform and didn’t see her and me in class.
However. You’re cocky.
It’s one thing to criticize someone, but the fact that Ji first seduced another woman’s husband and cheated on her is outrageous, right?
In fact, she has absolutely no merit in touching me.
The reason she takes risks and provokes me is that she has something to do, even if it means earning my disapproval.
I thought I knew what Esd was worried about.
The corners of my mouth rose.
“But I also heard a strange rumor.”
“Strange rumor…?”
“There are many geniuses with special abilities at Frunar Academy, and most of those geniuses are my colleagues. I hear a lot from them.”
Esther looked like she had no idea what she was talking about, but I could read the agitation in her trembling body.
“Are you on good terms with Mr. Ziggs?”
“…”
Silence.
But the heart beats loudly.
As expected, it was like that.
This bitch is convinced that I cheated on her with Azria.
But what caused Azria to have an affair?
This is because Jji seduced Azria’s husband, Ziggs.
In other words. She’s worried that I heard about her affair with Ziggs from Azria.
I’m embarrassed to say it myself, but I’m sure she was worried about what she would do to me if I, who was popular these days, developed a crush on Azria.
You will also be concerned about the public’s gaze.
Even though she can spread the rumor that Jiggs cheated on her, it is natural that her life will be difficult if it becomes known that she was the one who cheated on her.
Even if you decide to take risks, you still want to avoid them as much as possible.
Esd quickly regained control of his expression and spoke.
“… We’re good friends~ That’s right. You’re the hero our Seongguk is proud of, right?”
Just answer calmly.
I also smiled calmly.
“It looks like there was some misunderstanding between us. If you want to talk more, come back next time.”
“Yes. Thank you for your time, and I apologize once again for my careless remarks.”
Instead of answering, I just nodded once and turned my back.
Esd looked at my back for a moment, then turned around and disappeared somewhere.
From the moment she heard Azria’s story, she thought she was a bitch, but she’s a woman who doesn’t know what to do for her own benefit.
They might make an unexpected move soon, so I need to prepare.
I joined the hero party waiting ahead.
“Sorry.”
Kaitz shook her head at my apology.
“Go to Askatlov.”
Hehe.”
Rope-chan is in my territory! Shin comes to Matan!
“Oh. Are you the famous monster king?”
Bao’s eyes lit up.
“Wow. I remember going into the Forest of Magic Stones and almost getting knocked over by the head of the Void at the time!! Let’s go see it, Panz!”
“Hehe. Do you want to see my pet? Tteolttak chinchan?”
“Of course!!”
Really?
Then I’ll show you something special.
That’s when I was about to give permission. Kaitz blocked my path and spoke to Bao.
“Now leave.”
“Hey?”
Bao blinked.
“There is no reason to show the Monster King to you, my enemy.”
“Uh… Is there any reason for you to let me go as an enemy?”
That exists.
Because. If Bao makes up his mind, running away won’t be an option.
From what I heard from Kaits, this guy’s perks are specialized for secret infiltration and escape.
I don’t know if that’s all, but surprisingly, his skills are extremely high.
The reason why the guy who regained his strength is still obediently being held by us is because he wanted to talk to us, not because he was coerced.
“Kites.”
The scholar brother frowned and took out an amulet, but Kaitsu shook his head. The look in his eyes contained the message not to lose strength for no reason.
“…Umm,~~ I wanted to play more.”
Bao showed his disappointment and swallowed the butter squid he was holding in one bite.
This stud. I am enjoying the amusement park to the fullest from beginning to end.
I am proud as a lord.
Crack. Bao shook his hand and lowered his head.
“I had fun today. When I see you on the battlefield in the future, I hope we just pretend to attack each other.”
Pot.
He disappeared like snow melting.
I completely missed the sight for a moment.
Only the most intangible among us seemed to know for a moment which direction it had disappeared into, but even that seemed to soon lose sight of it.
That Shecky. It’s bigger than I thought.
If Bao continues to stay nearby, I will be able to sense his presence at some point, but if he hides and runs away, it will be really difficult to catch him.
He doesn’t have motivation, but if he works properly, he’ll be very annoying.
“I’ve already prepared a plan for that guy, so don’t worry. Eight days.”
“You weren’t worried?”
That guy is an enemy, but I don’t think he’ll be a wall blocking us.
Because I have no fighting spirit.
I said, rubbing my hands.
“Let’s go to Rope-chan.”
Ah. It’s cute.
How can my pet be so cute?
My pet, who had flown in personally because he couldn’t use the warp gate, was standing under the sunset sky. The long shadow is very cute. Even the shadow is cute…!!
Do-dah-dada.
I quickly ran over and picked up Rope-chan and hugged him in my arms.
“You had a hard time getting here, Rope-chan!!”
“Let go.”
“Ah. You’re happy to see me, but you act cool!”
I tried to give him a big kiss on the mouth, but he pushed me away with his hoof.
We wrestled for a while, but I didn’t want to make Rope-chan work harder, so I backed off first.
Rope-chan opened his mouth.
“Dre. There is a way for both of us to benefit.”
“Huh? We both benefit?”
As I was waiting for a chance to kiss your cute mouth, he continued.
“You will get a useful guardian, and I will get a huge causal effect in the long run.”
What are you talking about…?
Are you saying you’re cute?
She naturally tried to kiss him, but he pushed her away with her ghostly hoof. Tsk. The response is quick.
“What does that mean?”
The scholar brother standing next to me asked cautiously.
Probably because they were overwhelmed by Rope-chan’s cuteness, everyone except Kaitz and Intangible was frozen.
“I mean it literally. The being that transformed with my blood is a kind of apostle.”
Ah, that’s it.
Just as the power and causality of the godhead increases when an apostle designated by the godhead is active, I guess it’s similar for Rope-chan.
“I will be honest with you. I have come to increase my power. I will act even if you refuse.”
The hero party got nervous at Rope-chan’s solemn voice, and this time I tried to kiss his back.
Side.
Oh. This doesn’t block it.
You just hate your mouth.
This time on the side. This time, the top of the head.
Rope-chan shook his feet and turned his body.
“Ha, don’t do it…”
“Is it cold? Is it cold?”
Side. Side. Side.
As I was kissing her all over, Kaitz nodded her head.
“Do as you wish.”
“Kites?”
Scholar Hyung sounded nervous, and Muhyeong chuckled.
“What are you afraid of now? Let’s just leave it alone.”
The scholar brother glanced at the intangible.
“Intangible. Don’t talk irresponsibly. The power of the Monster King is…”
Muhyeong spoke in a carefree voice to his scholar brother who was speechless.
“Once that monster regains its power, we will literally be nothing more than insects. Askatlov isn’t the type to kill carelessly, is he?”
Kaitsu nodded to her intangible words, saying that it would be beneficial to take an uncertain risk and gain something like a guardian spirit.
“Anyway, even if you stay still, Askatlov will gradually regain his strength. Do as you wish, Askatlov.”
“What do you think?”
Rope-chan looked at me.
“My fragments will stand on your land. Isn’t that unpleasant?”
“What?! Rope-chan’s blood is seeping into my land?”
We have to do it right away!!
“I didn’t say that offended…!!”
We are outside the castle. It flew close to the place where the beast of the collapsing earth disappeared.
When we reached the destination, Rope-chan’s eyes lit up in my arms.
Flash-!!
Of the six closed eyes, two red ones opened.
A total of four red eyes staring at the ground. A dark smoke-like power rose from Rope-chan’s body.
Coo coo coo…!!
The jeweled earth vibrates.
“Indeed. It’s not just my blood, it’s also the evil spirit’s ghost power mixed with powerful divine power.”
“Evil spirit?”
Is it because you were attacked by Hakjinmu?
“It would be useful if I adjusted it.”
Right after Rope-chan’s muttering. The shaking of the earth stopped.
And.
Kwaaaaang-!!
A huge rock comparable to a small mountain rose from the jewel-like land.
Shining like a rainbow, it soon transformed into the form of a collapsing beast of the earth.
However, unlike him who was surrounded by black energy, he was enveloped in a subtle rainbow color.
[Ohhhhh.]
The moment the beast howled, the earth that had collapsed in the wake of the beast returned to its original state.
“Oh…”
Kaits let out a groan of admiration.
So did I.
That being has a power comparable to that of the beast of the collapsing earth.
Divine power. Ear power. And Rope-chan’s powers were in perfect harmony, giving off a powerful force that is difficult to describe.
Tiring!!
[The beast of the firm earth has become possessed.]
After system notification. Slurp. The size of the beast suddenly decreased significantly.
The object, which had grown to the size of a house, looked at me in the sky, or Rope-chan to be exact, and said wow. I cried.
“Normally, it will stay in a miniaturized state to save power. It will instinctively try to protect this land. It will be useful.”
Rope-chan spoke in a solemn voice and Kaitz was impressed.
“That’s amazing. It’s a strong territory even without that, but if it gets a strong guardian like that… Matan will really become a safe place that’s close to Frunar Academy.”
Rope-chan nodded his head at Kaitsu’s words and spoke solemnly.
“Spread the story of that beast. It will soon become my strength.”
Dishonest guy!!
You just wanted to help me!!
I hugged him tightly and pointed near the animal with my finger.
“Take a good look.”
“What do you mean?”
“That jewel-like land. It’s sparkling.”
You may have seen it earlier, but I’m not saying it now for nothing.
The red sphere is burning now.
The land, which had been transformed into a jewel by the power of the rock god, sparkled white in the sunset, shining brightly like a white snow field.
People walking to the estate said wow. A voice of admiration was heard.
“Isn’t it cool?”
“… I see.”
After looking at the wonderful scenery with Rope-chan for a while, I whispered in his ear.
“There’s a parade later in the evening? That’s really cool too.”
There was no answer, but it clicked. The ear that brushed against my mouth told me how he was feeling.
“Let’s go eat first. Ah. What can he eat too?”
When I pointed to the beast, Rope-chan nodded.
“That’s right. It doesn’t really need food, but it can be eaten.”
“Ah, but Rope-chan. I knocked him down once before he became like that… I guess I was rude to you…?”
“Not really. What would you feel if your blood soaked in and the flowers turned into something similar to you?”
“Do you think I’ll take him in and raise him?”
“… Is that so…?”
I walked around with Rope-chan until evening and showed him around the territory.
Soon evening came. Various parades began in the streets, including amusement parks.
Spirits fly in the sky and embellish the sky with their respective elements, high-quality fireworks made by dwarves explode, numerous lights illuminate the streets and performers, and those practicing dance and music march and attract people’s attention.
And a fog-like spirit rose up to make the whole scene look dreamy.
It may have seemed a bit messy, but my Young Jimin was very, very successful at coordinating it.
It was so spectacular that even I, who knew the parade, had my mouth agape.
It’s wonderful art.
It is certain that even the rich Sir Kayneth and Gold could not help but be impressed.
“Oh…”
Seeing Rope-chan in my arms, his eyes sparkling, made me feel like I had to prepare for more diverse parades.
In this way, the opening ceremony ended successfully and in a good mood.
A man and a woman stand face to face in a dark room.
“Hey.”
Azria spoke coldly to Ziggs, who was shaking while holding a photo.
“Is it wrong to cheat on someone?”
