Chapter 192 – A Knight Resembling a Hero (2)
Episode 192: A Knight Similar to a Hero (2)
“You changed your place of residence.”
“Sometimes it’s good to change places to change the atmosphere~”
The shadow organization used to be a brothel, but now it has been turned into a gambling den.
Upstairs where they gamble, they pass through the luxurious hallways and enter the largest hall, where they meet face-to-face.
‘Is it because the ending was changed?’
No matter how many times I played, the game was always the same.
Neither the location nor the characters have changed.
Everything has changed since the game patch.
‘The first to change was the saintess.’
Ikarut glanced at the side face of her saintess, then looked away crookedly.
“A forgotten saintess. Seeing that she has no memory even in her informational brain, it seems to be right~?”
Cigarette smoke exhaled through the cracks of her thin lips was infinitely thick.
While Valten’s breathing became muffled, the assistant guild leader’s hand trembled and walked through a gloomy aura.
Sensing the holy power emanating from Lesilia, he was instinctively wary.
“Come on, I have to stop now~”
Valten tapped the back of his hand with a cigarette holder at the deputy guild leader who showed unstable magic.
The deputy guild leader naturally put his hands behind his back, but he couldn’t hide his pouting body.
“So, how did our forgotten saintess come to know a woman named Melissa~?”
“… He gave me his name first. I don’t think she’s actually her own name.”
“Um~”
Valten sucked in the cigarette smoke until his cheeks were slimy.
Lesilia’s eyebrows furrowed as the strong smell hit her.
In response, Valten raises the corners of her mouth as if to show off her, and lets her smoke flow away.
“What… It’s an interesting quest~ Although it’s a bit difficult.”
Bang! He lightly taps his pipe on the armrest of her chair and chins to the deputy guild leader.
And Valten whispered something in his ear as he approached.
Receiving the command, the sub guild leader silently nodded and stood back naturally.
Slowly, the presence buried in the shadows disappeared without a trace.
“Looks like you got information about a woman named Melissa for personal reasons.”
“Hahang~ Eyes looking into the abyss are too hard to deceive. Annoying~”
Valten wrinkled his expression as if he had been caught, then leaned his back completely against the chair.
Lie down with your legs crossed again. Soon after, the crooked tail was filled with dissatisfaction.
“A certain woman appeared at the arena where our guild was managing the business, and she said that she won every duel with a flamboyant swordsmanship she had never heard of or seen before, so I was quite interested in it.
My income was pretty good.
Valten muttered to himself and touched her forehead.
She puts the pipe between her fingers, rubs it between her eyebrows, and gently turns her eyes.
“She only found out the woman’s name and couldn’t find out everything else. It’s a well-known information vendor on the streets of Charata~ Ah, what a pity~”
“It’s not like he didn’t know his identity.”
“Ah, she knows at least that her divine powers she sent are fake.”
After briefly humming her song, Valten lowered her hand.
I felt a divine power that could not be found in the midst of a filthy and raging arena.
Sensing a strange energy like a shadow organizer, Valten ran there to grasp the situation.
“Maybe I lured you, the forgotten saint.”
The pupil, resembling the night, fully contained Lesilia.
Valten’s gaze stayed there until the pure white light gleamed in his hair touched by his hurricane.
“Two suns in one sky… If we learn the true identity of Melissa, the question of the saintess will be cleared.”
“Were you also invited to the coronation ceremony?”
“You were secretly invited, right? If you stand out in the eyes of high-ranking people, it will be annoying~”
Secretly, there was some kind of transaction between the imperial family, the church, and the streets of Charata.
The people on the streets of Charata moved as stealthily as possible to remain unnoticed.
The same was true of the coronation ceremony of the saintess.
“Melissa, the woman whom I deliberately lured with divine power. Forgotten Saint… “
“… “
“And the newly enthroned Saint Etia.”
The name of a new saint I’ve never heard of.
It was like a warrior’s castle.
Is it really a coincidence?
Ikarut’s eyes narrowed and Lesilia bit her lip and looked down.
“It became an interesting situation without me even knowing it?”
Valten, who carefully observed the reaction of the two, bit the tip of his pipe.
From a certain moment, in her memory, there was an eerie feeling as if she had been cut with medium scissors.
And not long after, a saintess suddenly appeared in the church.
The human world is rapidly perishing after the hero dies.
The saintess became the savior of this world, and her terrifying holy power that was felt at her coronation seduced the audience at once.
“I’m curious about Melissa’s true identity~ I’ll accept the request~ You know there’s a conditional instead, right?”
Another sub-quest has begun.
Since the game scenario has changed strangely, the contents of the quest must have changed as well.
Ikarut sighs inside her and nods her head wordlessly.
With the permission of the demon king, the mouth of the informant rolled up like a cat.
“Recently, a suspicious darkness appeared on the streets of Charata.”
The word darkness is familiar.
“This suspicious darkness strangely devours everything around it and then disappears~ It’s not an unusual trouble.”
He said he was going to catch someone.
Chaos appeared. It was appearing not only in Dark Wood and Aberglow, but also in many places.
“Saint Etia blocked the darkness that appeared simultaneously with her holy power. I thought she would be fine now, but she appeared again~”
Chaos that disappears due to holy power.
The current saintess, Tia, exercised her power as if to prove that she was not a fake.
Lesilia brought her hands together to her chest and clasped them as if in prayer.
She looked up at Ikarut as if asking for her consent.
At his light chin, Lesilia catches her breath and smiles reassuringly.
“Huh~ The two of you are pretty close for a cooperative relationship. Who can see that they are lovers?”
“Oh, lovers! Don’t say such nonsensical things! Master and I are not like that.”
“Eh? Master?”
Balten’s head tilted and his eyes widened.
After staring back and forth at Ikarut and Lesilia, her eyes change into dark eyes.
“It turned out to be a really fun situation.”
To think that the forgotten saintess and the demon king had such a relationship.
His languid speech was full of jokes.
Then, Lesilia turned her head to her oblique line with her ear lobe red.
***
‘The darkness that appeared this time is quite a nuisance. It happened to appear in the Queen’s mansion.’
A Japanese-style mansion that I haven’t seen in a long time.
At the entrance of the mansion, Lesilia blinked her eyes at the red light that made her eyes cry.
The dark night that covered the streets of Charata was so dark that it was difficult to distinguish sight.
Among them, the huge mansion proudly displayed its majesty.
“How can I find chaos in this vast expanse?”
“The new maids and servants will be taught the structure of the house first.”
Their attire was ubiquitous, but scruffy.
At good timing, he was looking for a servant and maid in Daphnell’s mansion.
She was the Queen of the Night, known in the underworld, and many wanted to serve under her.
Among the many resumes, two undercover were picked out. Of course, thanks to the Shadow Guild’s henchmen, it was decided to change it.
Valten warned by sending the two away.
‘Recently, there are rumors that the Queen of the Night has gone mad~
According to the information I heard from the henchman I planted a few days ago, it’s stuck underground and won’t come out. The Queen’s behavior is not unusual.’
Unsurprisingly, strange rumors circulated about Daphnell.
The Queen of the Night, who deliberately showed off her power while going to field training, disappeared before she knew it.
Hearing those words, Lesilia remembered the last time she saw her.
Immediately, he drew the sign of the cross on his forehead.
A human who has completely sold his soul to the demons will slowly die as his mind and body disintegrate.
As the rumors were true, Lesilia kept her truth silent.
“Since they work in different areas, they will be separated.”
“… Master. You have to be careful.”
The saintess carefully grabbed his forearm.
The fingers that quietly open and close are uneasy for nothing.
It was Ikarut, the lord of the Demon Realm and the victor in the human world war.
Lesilia, who knew who she was and was worried, was laughing, but she felt itchy.
“Perhaps the demons who signed a contract with Daphnell are here. So… “
“You are worrying unnecessarily. The one who rules over those demons is here.”
Ikarut’s strong chin slightly raised.
The saintess opened her eyes wide at this, and the corners of her eyes slowly curled as if she realized something.
“That’s right. You are here.”
The small muttering to himself was quite clear to his sensitive hearing.
By the time her staring gaze becomes strange.
Profit.
The entrance to the mansion opened with an ominous sound.
“You are new. Nice to meet you.”
It was the first maid I saw at the mansion.
The maid, who resembles darkness in everything, stares arrogantly with a gaze that excludes even the slightest emotion.
‘It must have been the head maid.’
From her stern demeanor she could tell at a glance which position she held.
The maid, who grasped the information by glancing up and down her, flicked the tip of her chin.
And without hesitation, she turned around.
The two of them quietly followed behind the maid who was walking with her breathless stomping steps.
Since Valten gave a promise to his confidant in advance, she must have known her as a new maid and servant.
The two memorized the structure of the mansion while exchanging glances.
‘The structure seems to be more complicated than the last time I went.’
I had only been to Daphnell’s room, so I had no idea that the structure of the mansion would be this messy.
Looking at the same tatami room and sliding door one after the other, it’s to the point where I’m confused about where I’m going.
Did you walk for a while? The moment the moon’s shadow tilted and entered the hallway.
The maid’s footsteps stopped soundlessly.
“…You can go this way.”
The head maid turns her eyes to the sliding door right next to her, with only her side face turned.
Her calm gaze lingered only on me, so she probably spoke to him.
As she nodded as if she understood, Lesilia’s hands clenched tightly as if uneasy.
And the head of her maid, Jang, returns to normal and moves her feet.
Even the moment they moved each other’s steps, the two exchanged glances.
Even when I opened the sliding door, I could still feel the saintess’ uneasy gaze.
“It was easy to find.”
I felt a familiar resonance from the moment I opened the sliding door.
Dark and ominous, but friendly energy.
Ikarut gazes at the tatami floor with the eyes of the abyss.
Clap.
As if he knew he was here, the basement hidden under the floor opened.
