Chapter 19 – Chapter 01: Elf Heavenly Horse
‘No, it might have been there. I eventually gave up looking.’
And Eugene, who is believed to have held on to the Cheonma route until the end, was a sub-heroine who had the title of being unachievable and no one tried to attack it.
… The moment he gave up, Cheonma was officially given the title of unattackable sub-heroine that no one could attack.
… Yes, Yeonhwa, who was both an elf and a reincarnated Heavenly Demon, was that kind of being.
‘A sub-heroine that no one has been able to capture and it is unclear whether it is even possible to capture it.’
The producers did say that all sub-heroines can be attacked, but guess what? Eugene was skeptical.
It is impossible to increase favorability without the route of becoming a disciple of the Heavenly Demon right away, and even this route of becoming a disciple was the route that Eugene first discovered and shared information about.
As I said, aren’t the conditions very harsh? In other words, the difficulty of conquering the Heavenly Demon was high from the start, but the path to reach 99 favorability was even more difficult.
The route of becoming a disciple of the Heavenly Demon is probably the one with the most deaths among the routes where the Devil King’s army and a third force create a crisis and several villains appear. None other than Yeonhwa, with her own hands.
But in the end, even Eugene, who reached 99 favorability, couldn’t reach 100, so he gave up?
Eugene checked and found that even after he shared the disciple route, the person who achieved a favorability rating of 40 was the highest in the community…
‘They said it was possible to attack in words, but in reality, it’s impossible, right?’
Eugene came to that conclusion tentatively. In fact, even when he became his disciple Root and showed affection in his own way as his own person, the main character was Cheonma, who showed a fairly cynical reaction.
At least she takes care of things frugally, but like other heroines, she doesn’t show any flirtatious behavior from the moment she starts to feel a rational crush on her.
Even if the liking for the main character reached 99%, Yeonhwa still had the same attitude of not treating other beings as ants.
It’s hard to imagine Yeonhwa receiving the protagonist’s confession and having a sweet love relationship with him.
In addition, Yeonhwa was a character that I couldn’t even imagine being in a relationship with the main character.
‘That’s why I wanted to attack it even more.’
How much gap moe would it cause to see a character that you couldn’t even imagine showing after being captured!
Even Eugene, who held on to the Cheonma route until the very end with that single thought, ended up thinking that Cheonma wasn’t that kind of character… The favorite character I gave up on, thinking about this, was the elf Cheonma Yeonhwa.
‘She is that kind of woman, so even though a complete stranger is looking for her even though she is covered in scars, she must be looking at her like it’s fun!’
When viewed as a game, even its cruel temper could be enjoyed as an element to show the gap after being conquered, but when it became reality, it was quite unpleasant!
He even said he was a man! Of course, he was a man from a different Earth than the man here, but he was still a very weak man according to the common sense of the Orbital World!
A woman who just observes with interest even though such a man is exploring himself without any surprise even if he collapses and dies at any moment…
To compare it to the Earth, it could be said to be a man peeking at a fragile woman wandering in the forest with a tattered dress as if it were fun.
Now, by comparing it like this, can you tell how trash Yeonhwa’s personality is?!
‘Damn it, every cloth I chose. ‘Hold on with all your might!’
But from the beginning, Eugene chose Yeonhwa as his favorite character even though he knew that she had that kind of personality. … , No, it wasn’t this, it was something that would protect him.
Because even though he has that kind of personality, Eun-won is certain. I was confident that if I somehow gave silver, I would be able to receive at least protection.
‘If possible, let’s try to succeed here with strategies that didn’t succeed in the game! It’s possible, but…’
Honestly, Eugene didn’t want to do that. I don’t know if the game became reality right away, or if the game reflected reality, but for Eugene, this Orbital World was real from the moment he was possessed.
The self, complete as an absolute being, does not recognize this world as just a game, no matter how similar it is to the world in the game it played.
Since your five senses and sixth sense are crying out for reality, you have accepted reality itself and clearly defined this place as reality.
Therefore, it was okay to use the information in the game to survive and save the world as a bonus, but it was a ‘line’ that was allowed because it was necessary.
In other words, he did not want to use the game’s information even though it was not necessary.
No, it didn’t matter if it was simply to gain more than necessary. Because I didn’t know how the benefits I saw would come back later.
However, Eugene’s honest feelings are that he does not want to manipulate people’s minds through game information even though it is not necessary.
‘I don’t want to seduce the other person through strategy information just because they are my favorite character without any love.’
Even though it was confirmed to be reality, I felt bad because I felt like I was treating the other person as just a character in a game.
If you really flirt, it will only be if you truly love the other person to a certain extent. Only…
‘Elf Heavenly Demon Yeonhwa? I?’
… To be honest, if I were to just talk about the appearance, it was just my preference. It wasn’t my favorite character for no reason.
In some cases, his appearance might raise suspicions of ‘Lolicon?’, But Eugene was able to confidently say that his coverage was simply wide.
That’s why I think Yeonhwa, who is close to the Rory type, is Orbital World’s favorite character.
… But that’s only if it were a game, and if it became reality, it would be a different story.
Since it is a game, the temperament that kills the main character frequently can be considered as a gap element for the dere after the strategy.
But does that become reality? It would never be considered an attractive factor.
Right now, Eugene was in a similar situation on Earth, so there was no need for him to be weighed down by the fear of death, but even so, it was impossible to think of it as attractive.
In such a situation, he feels her love for Yeonhwa and tries to seduce her? Well? Eugene knew himself well.
Otherwise, it would never have reached the status of absolute being in the first place.
And to that extent, if Yeonhwa’s personality becomes a reality, as she may be as a game’s strategy character, we can guarantee that it will be difficult to say that she is of one’s own taste.
Therefore, Eugene had no intention of attacking Yeonhwa. Since it was an impossible strategy in the game to begin with, even if it were possible, it would be extremely difficult in real life.
Since it was unclear whether it was even possible, Eugene had no intention of targeting a woman he did not yet love, even by gambling with her life.
For that reason, Eugene had given up on Yeonhwa’s strategy from the beginning.
In order to increase her affinity for the strategy in the first place, it is essential for her to become her student, so Eugene cannot become her student, so she cannot even try.
‘It wasn’t exactly required, but was it compulsory?’
If you somehow managed to please the Heavenly Demon and build her favorability to 30 before forming a priestly relationship, at that point the protagonist was forced to become the Heavenly Demon’s disciple.
… Yes, it was forced. After accepting her protagonist as her disciple in a close manner, from then on, she begins to teach her own Heavenly Demon Divine Arts, including the Guyu Demonic Art, to her protagonist in earnest.
The problem was that raising Cheonma’s favorability to the point where even building up to 30 favorability required the entire first semester of the second year was a very difficult task.
If you go all out and increase the favorability rating so hard, the protagonist will eventually become Cheonma’s disciple without any choice and learn her martial arts skills.
‘In other words, if you increase likability, becoming a disciple is compulsory.’
However, Eugene had no intention of becoming Cheonma’s disciple. All of the Heavenly Demon’s divine arts were martial arts that could be called divine arts. Naegongsimbeop, martial law, Bobeop, all of it.
However, it is rather frustrating for Eugene, who has already reached the level of her absolute master and pioneered her own path, to learn her martial arts, which she is not familiar with at all.
So, Yu-jin has no intention of becoming Cheonma’s disciple, and she just planned to take her under her care during the two-month vacation period and then build up a reasonable amount of favor with her before leaving.
‘She knows how to avoid offending her tastes or feelings, so maybe you can get 20?’
As she received a reality patch, she could not see the favorability ratings of the main heroine and sub-heroines through the affinity system, but she was confident that she could achieve 20 out of 30 favorability ratings for Yeonhwa in two months, which Eugene and others took half a year to achieve.
‘If you had a favorability rating of 20, you were just an acquaintance who knew her face, right?’
In the first place, it can be said to be a remarkable level in that it is recognized as an ‘acquaintance’ with a familiar face to the Heavenly Demon, who does not even treat people as human beings except those who have reached the status of an absolute person.
Oh, of course, this was based on Yeonhwa, and as long as the other main heroines didn’t do something really stupid, you could achieve a likeability rating of about 20 just by seeing her face a few times and talking to her normally.
‘0 was unrelated, 20 was an acquaintance, 50 was a friend, 70 was a favor as a reason, 80 was love, 90 was love, and 100 was eternal love.’
Eugene, who came up with a relationship standard based on her likeability, nodded her head, thinking that just having Cheonma remember her face as an acquaintance was a sufficient achievement.
“Ugh…”
Then, Eugene suddenly feels the back of her neck become stiff and she lets out a moan.
She was an elf, she was thinking about various things about the Heavenly Demon and Yeonhwa, and she was somehow forcing herself to search the forest, but she was slowly realizing that her body was truly at its limits.
‘That’s the bottom line. Don’t think about seducing the Heavenly Demon for no reason, just maintain a reasonable distance and leave with only protection.’
In order to save the world and survive through the true ending route in the first place, her top priority was for herself and the heroines to grow.
In that situation, she couldn’t afford to be in a relationship. So, even if she miraculously falls in love with the self-confident Heavenly Demon, it is absurd for her to seduce him.
So, since Eugene is someone who will soon see his dislike for Cheonma for a moment, he puts pressure on himself and searches the forest again.
‘But fortunately, I think I can find it.’
Fortunately, Eugene was able to find the terrain of the forest that he knew through the game, so it was possible.
Otherwise, with his body already reaching its limit, he might have suddenly called upon the Heavenly Demon who was watching him with the thought that it was all or nothing.
And because he made himself move from the beginning, his favorability will start to drop significantly. Since the accumulated favorability right now is 0, maybe we should start from the negative side?
‘I have no intention of seducing the Heavenly Demon, but…’
Honestly, I didn’t have to worry about his likability since I had no intention of becoming his disciple or making a strategy, but he was still someone I would spend several months with and receive protection from.
It is said that high favorability is lower than low favorability. Of course, since this Orbital World is no longer a game but a reality, it is ridiculous to be confident in people’s hearts based on likability figures.
However, conversely, Orbital World’s affinity system was the professed absoluteness of a transcendent being that made it possible to create a world based on a game, or to create a game based on this Orbital World.
It is unknown whether the people in this orbital world are affected by likeability, or whether the unknowable hearts of people are accurately quantified through the likeability system by the power of a transcendent being, but either way, it was difficult to ignore the likeability figures.
‘Well, I can’t actually confirm whether my favorability has built up or not.’
Meanwhile, does a game system exist for the protagonist? Eugene was curious, but soon erased it from his mind because he thought it was a story that had nothing to do with him and not the main character.
Instead, he finally gets closer to the Cheonma’s residence area by finding the same terrain as the knowledge he knows through the original work.
