Chapter 180 – 180 – Men Also Don’t Like Lilies Invading
“Baseldenan, Quendarin.”
Who is that?
“The guys who were held hostage with me. You don’t have to worry about their names. They’re useless idiots, and they might be dead now. What’s important is what they said.”
What did you say?
“When I was being held hostage by the Soelan knights, there was information that those two leaked out. There was a reason why Danar cooperated with the Demon King.”
Nenya chatters non-stop.
The attitude toward sharing information is passionate. It seems that their morale was boosted by the fact that there was something they could do even if their magic was taken away.
“It is said that the Demon King has the power to separate soul energy from living things. It seems that he was influenced by the Demon God ‘An’, who was once the master of the world and the god of life.”
Oh.
“It means that it can take life from a living person or breathe life into a dead body. Perhaps it was thanks to that mysterious power that Adamantone, who died in the demon cave, came back to life.”
I see
I just nod my head in a daze. What is the reason why I suddenly lost my mind?
Is it because the fire eats up breathable air? I made sure to secure the vent. Did she hit her head while falling? The landing must have been smooth.
I hope it’s neither. It has to be my mood. She hasn’t finished her job yet.
Even though we’ve come that long way, Tena is still in their hands. We need to reunite with her colleagues as soon as possible. No matter how strong the wind is blowing outside.
We need to get in there as early as possible before they do something else…
“The reason Danar secretly got on the same boat with the demon king’s fragments was to aim for that power. By keeping him close, he secretly analyzed the principles of power and figured out how to separate the soul’s constituents. . Sometimes, while hiding his identity, he incited warriors like Thena to fight against the demon king’s fragments. To secretly secure the fragment’s body.”
He was even crazier than I thought.
In fact, if you want to realize your enormous desire to rob the entire world, you will have to be bold enough to defeat even the fearsome bald army.
However, I am also the same as being greedy that doesn’t work out. That’s what the wolf is saying in the darkness of his eyelids.
The growl gets closer.
“If you can separate the body and soul that the gods gave you, you can also remove and attach the small aptitude tag that the gods have attached to the soul… I guess that’s what they thought. Looking at how all the aptitudes of top adventurers were taken away. , I guess I should consider it really possible.”
The next words are blurry. I can barely understand the content because I miss the head and tail.
‘Even if no one in the world is a porter, labor will be needed. This is why Danar sponsored research funds to imperial magic towers to create porter golems.’
So, Danar was the cause of the porter employment crisis. He should be angry, but he isn’t.
‘But much of it is just superficial. Most of Elan’s funds flowing to human researchers were secretly used to develop ‘aptitude sealing devices.’
Seal it. The sealing tool I know is a tool used by adventurers to trap monsters.
It was useful when subduing and moving Lilith. Is it something similar to that?
‘In a secret investment that lasted over a hundred years, the Armatam Empire broke the principle of separation of politics and magic and inquired about its intentions. Dana replied that he was investing in future industries. Empire, who tapped the calculator, was satisfied that if left alone, the porter’s labor costs would be greatly reduced. It was welcomed by everyone except porters, especially superiors who had many servants and workers.’
Only the dirty porters will cry and everyone will be happy. Keep investing!
They’re plotting to steal everyone’s aptitude right under their noses, and they must have welcomed you with open arms while laughing. It gets even funnier when you consider that Danar is actually a porter.
It’s understandable why Danar has a special perspective on the hatred prevalent in the world. As a porter, you must have lived for 800 years watching and hearing the vicious manner in which horse servants treat porters like spitting vessels and collect phlegm.
So I guess they came up with a punishment that resembles a line from a fairy tale. ‘If you hate porters, you too become porters.’
‘That’s what sucks up all the aptitude and redistributes it. Theoretically, it is also possible to create one hero who combines the strength of all heroes. If the soul can bear the weight of that label, perhaps even dozens of people will become the strongest warriors of all time, right?’
That’s kind of scary.
It must be stopped. Wasn’t the hero’s power originally brought down to the world to overthrow the demon god? If we don’t stop such a demon before it spreads beyond Daelan, Danar may become as scary as that ancient demon.
However, among the special parties that Danar had summoned, there must have been about a hundred powerful warriors. If one body contained the combat power of 100 special-level heroes, it would already be considered an entity that humans could not deal with.
‘Oh right. Tena likes you.’
The situation becomes more complicated when we take into account the presence of Evenna, who drove out Rod, and the presence of several more fragments of the Demon King. Can we solve it on our own?
We need to think about it quickly. Otherwise, I will turn to the wolf’s teeth. The beast inside my eyelids growls and tries to distract me. With the intention of eating you if you make eye contact.
‘Did you hear? ‘Tena said she likes you.’
“···What?”
“Oh, don’t try to act like you don’t know. You’re not that insensitive.”
Nenya, who was holding her wet silk underwear against the fire, was startled when I raised my head and hid it under a blanket.
And he proudly raised his head as if nothing had happened.
“Of course, sexual experience and insight are not proportional. But does it make sense that he could not notice the feelings of just one guy when he touched dozens of girls? A guy who takes care of the party so professionally?”
“···Not dozens. There weren’t that many.”
Even to my ears, the answer is difficult. It’s not that I’m denying the most absurd point, but I feel like I’m holding on to that point because I can’t refute other points.
Nenya sighs softly. He seems to sympathize with Thena.
“Yes, it’s the same for you and me. We’re trying to turn our eyes away from an overly troubling reality.”
“What are you talking about.”
“I don’t know what your problem is. But there must be a reason why you tried so hard to talk about a family-like relationship and a little sister-like guy. Is it because you’re shy? Is it because you’re upset that you left? Or, you enjoyed having a lot of fun in the nest made by the girl who likes you. “Is it because it’s hard to admit the truth?”
Bitten off I feel like my heart is breaking.
“What was my problem? Maybe my problem was that I was stupid enough to call Lennie ‘my dog’, that I liked to dress him up the way I wanted, and that I held him like a child, keeping him out of my sight. It’s not something you would do to a child who was treated like a dog, a tool, or a slave. No matter how much you treat him well, it’s hard to wash away the complaints that build up from such resentment.”
Fold. Dogs cut off their ears to make dog tags, and if they get along with dogs too closely, they beat them. Nenya’s sadness stemmed from her people’s attitude toward dogs.
My sadness comes from my own attitude towards wolves. The wolf that is chewing on my ribcage is talking with tears in his eyes.
I remember it clearly. The time when we saw the starlight shining in each other’s eyes at the camp at night. Two children who stayed up all night excited, not knowing what to do.
I had already guessed Thena’s feelings from then on.
I trampled on Tena’s favor right before my eyes.
And I missed that Tena a little while ago. Evenna and Danar were scared and ran away, but they didn’t even realize they had let go of that guy’s hand and ended up running away.
I stumbled and fell sideways. Nenya ran screaming and supported me. Regardless of whether her pale naked body is revealed or not, her attitude as she takes off her blanket is trustworthy.
Sometimes, you may receive bad news even after everything you can do has been done. Since it is a disaster in the middle of a snowy field, it is not unusual for hypothermia to strike even if it is impossible. A trembling sob escapes from my teeth.
“···You’re right···.”
“Aaaaah! Taaan! Eyes! Open your eyes! Why are your cheeks so blue? Just lift your body a little. Let’s go to the fire!”
“I lost Tena’s hand. Tan, this bastard. A pathetic bastard who should have fallen to the ground with his head torn apart by Uja’s lighthouse.”
The events that occurred when I was lying on the straw in the stable keep flashing before my eyes. The moment when I stretched out my hand to Thena, who was crying and running to find a way to save me, hoping that she would just stay by my side.
I couldn’t catch it even then. This time, Thena is put into danger in exchange for saving Tan. A porter is an obstacle to a warrior.
If an epic about the great hero Thena is made, the amount of Tan Bantai will have to be reduced. Considering the anger of the listeners.
“Bo, why are your cheeks so pale? Why is your body so cold?”
“···Leave it. Leave it like this. That’s enough for me, Tena first…”
“Uh, what should I do? Please say something like when I told you to take off your wet clothes. What should I do to save you?”
“Have sex.”
I closed my eyes tightly and opened them. Nenya is seen closing her eyes tightly and then opening them.
When I turned my head, Lilith was sticking out from my side. And she is waving her finger as if telling Nenya to come here.
“Then it’s settled.”
“···What are you talking about.”
“It may look like she’s been deprived of body heat, but she’s just emaciated. She thinks she’s trash, so she’s a little more emaciated.”
Hello, this is trash. Sometimes I call him Tan, and every time I do that, I feel like I’m a human.
It’s so fucking weird. There’s no way the bastard who ate all those friends under Tena’s chin could be a human bastard.
As I was muttering something to that effect, Nenya and Lilith looked at me with disapproval. I wriggled glumly and hid the trash under my blanket.
“···But why are you telling me to have sex? Are you trying to tell me some bullshit that it will give you energy?”
“It might be okay for now, but if it’s not discovered by the party within a few hours, it could cause some rather fatal organ damage. There’s one way to stop it. Have sex.”
“How can it be just a breakdown, you stupid monster! And if it’s that serious, shouldn’t you avoid sexual stimulation?!”
“Well, everyone is just screaming loudly…”
Lilith explained, shaking her head. Just like when she persuaded Erina.
Nenya’s reaction was more violent than Erina’s.
“Don’t lie, bitch! I’ll make ivy grow all over your viscera and twist your insides!”
“If you’re going to let the power of Mitra flow through the body of the rider, then just stay still. If I have to repair the pipe through which the lava flows by myself, it’s only a temporary measure. I’ll lose one of my precious porters.”
“···Don’t listen to what I’m saying, Nanya.”
“Save your words and stay still, Tan! Don’t overdo it!”
“Damn, now I think I know what Ishtar is drawing. No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange. They’re forcing a situation where sexual activity is inevitable.”
I said, glaring straight into Lilith’s eyes. Lilith’s translucent expression was difficult to read.
“Confusion and indulgence, lust and outrageousness. You must have thought that the moment a promiscuous porter was inserted into a women-only party in a forbidden area was an opportunity. He was manipulating our fate and putting us together like playing with dolls. Maybe he had to have sex to save me. The contents of the strange consciousness that I have to do may be nothing more than a device to threaten and attract my colleagues by putting my life as collateral. Am I wrong?”
“···Even if that’s true, don’t you think that’s a very cheap price to pay for saving your life?”
“Aha, of course! I knew it would be like this, you’re such a crazy goddess…”
“Be careful. You won’t be punished for saying one or two careless words, but you’ll be listening anyway.”
“Won’t you know if you just think about it in your head?”
“···You know. You are now an apostle who is closely connected to Him.”
“Then I ask you to listen. Whether you give me a punishment or not. It seems like when I first met you, I had to tell you not to interact with each other, mother-in-law! If you choose people like that, won’t you be punished by Mitra! Jeegiraaaaal! I’m a libertine. “I don’t want to live! If you wanted to put me in a situation like this, you should have found someone more suitable!”
“···Rebel against God. It’s really confusing. He must like it more.”
“You would like it even more if I spanked your ass with a leather whip! You are such a great goddess, really!”
She lay flat on her back as she vented her tantrum towards the ceiling. Perhaps because my blood was boiling, my condition returned a little.
Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be hypothermia as Lilith said. My body, which had been weakened by the battle between the disease called Mithra’s power and the tonic called Lilith, was exhausted because it could not overcome the guilt and anger.
In the meantime, the goddess seems to want to urge me through her minions. It’s been a while since you stopped fucking. Coincidentally, there is a girl next to her who doesn’t know men. Can you hear the ticking time bomb ticking? Tick, tick.
What kind of doll play toy are we? The guilt towards Tena changes its color. Even in this situation, a subtle sense of resistance is activated towards the unruly goddess.
I turned my head to Nenya, who was hesitant.
“I don’t like men intruding on lilies.”
“···What are you talking about all of a sudden? Have you turned around too?”
Nenya blinked her eyes long as she had when she heard Lilith’s suggestion. A half-satisfied voice leaks out of my mouth.
“Let’s be honest. Even though I didn’t go to the academy, I have some common sense. So I roughly know what homosexuality is.”
“···Oh, that’s right.”
“For example, if you force gay men to sleep with women, nothing will happen and you will only make each other uncomfortable. I know you and Lenny have a close relationship, and I don’t want to join in on this crazy talk about enlightening lesbians through sex. .”
Nenya crossed her eyebrows as if her head was pounding. I smiled weakly and said.
“I’ve faced the truth in my heart, and from now on, every moment I indulge in sexual abuse in the name of survival will be a betrayal of Thena. I will firmly refuse from now on. The same goes for you. You shouldn’t be forced to do something you don’t want to do because of the goddess’ tricks. No.”
“That’s certainly true to some extent. It’s even admirable for someone who once ran away because she hated the goddess’s pranks. But why do you want to beat her up like this?”
It crushed the top of Lilith’s head as she frowned. Lilith was absorbed into my body only after striking my side with her forcibly pulled out elbow.
While I was rolling around in pain from the untimely stomachache, Nenya looked down at me as if I was dumbfounded.
When I asked the reason with a glance, an absurd word came out.
“How can you be sure what kind of taste I have and then say something like that?”
“···Huh?”
“Why? At least you never asked me if I was a lesbian, bisexual, or a heterosexual pretending to be a lesbian.”
“···Are you bisexual?”
“···I don’t know about that. To be honest, I lived my entire life for 700 years without paying attention, so it may or may not be the case.”
“That’s right. It’s homework. Understand it. I’ll deal with it when it comes to a conclusion after I return alive.”
Nenya frowned and groaned. I slowly turned around to lie down, took notice, and then added.
“It’s a joke, so don’t seriously worry about finding out now. It’s a bit morally offensive in the first place.”
“You got stabbed? Then why did you sleep with Leni?”
Huh.
“Oh, don’t think I’m going to lie. Lenny said it out loud. Of course, I didn’t refer to you as you. But who else but you, Apostle of Ishtar, baptized in lust?”
“···Well, what did you say…”
“While I was always hesitant and reluctant, the splendid night I spent with a man was so passionate and sweet that it was difficult to shake it off. To the point where I thought it wouldn’t hurt that much if I left me and was alone.”
If I ever reunite with the rest of the party, I’ll have to ask Lenny if he wanted to kill me.
It was probably a promise between Lennie and me to hold on to the end, but I couldn’t even deny it and froze. This is why you can’t be a professional libertine.
“I understand. It hurts, but I can forgive. The stress accumulated in me may come out violently in my young mind. But that ‘certain guy’, that guy…”
Nenya shrugged, tightening the collar of her blanket. Then he slowly picked up the snow from the floor and threw it with all his force into my face.
It got into my nose and mouth. Nenya shouted at me as I stopped by and coughed.
“Thank you Danar, you bastard! If you had met me again when I still had magical powers, you might have killed me!”
As if the yelling wasn’t enough, the little foot kicked me hard on the back. I feel like I’m getting a massage rather than feeling pain because I’m clumsy at using my body, but my heart is throbbing with guilt again.
In fact, no matter how many times you say you’re sorry, it’s useless. It doesn’t change the fact that I’m a killer. I’m sorry, Thena. I’m sorry, Nanya.
Is it because my body is weak and my mind is also weak? After being beaten silently for a while while crying uncontrollably, Nenya got tired of herself and sat down, huffing and puffing.
“···Are you dead?”
“···I’m so sorry, but he’s still alive.”
“Then keep quiet. I’m going crazy, I’m sweating. If this happens, isn’t it worth taking off your wet clothes?”
Clean, cold wind seeps through the vent. The flames slowly sway, casting shadows at different angles on Nenya’s face.
Thanks to this, I caught a glimpse of a figure that looked very similar to Lennie.
“No matter how much I researched, there was no evidence of blood relation, so I and Lennie must be strangers. But my dog resembles me so much that it’s strange. It’s not just that we’re similar in height and appearance, but in everything from our tastes to our favorite colors. “
A small foot sticks out from the edge of Nenya’s blanket. My swollen big toe is wiggling because I was standing upright when I was kicking.
Is it because it is a body that has lived preciously? There are no traces of the effort of walking on the soles of the feet, just like elaborate and beautiful porcelain dolls that imitate the human body.
I felt like my observation was prolonged without my knowledge, so I quickly looked away, but Nenya noticed her gaze and didn’t say anything.
“Me and my dog shared the same clothes, wore the same shoes, and always traveled together. I took it for granted. Because we were my only lover and best friend at the same time. I don’t know if it was a mistake or a gift from the gods, but it was as if we shared half of our souls. “Because he was a friend made in heaven.”
Her toes come up. She flinched, wanting to kick her again, but that wasn’t Nenya’s intention.
She picks up my blanket with her toes and tries to take it away. Because my butt was almost exposed, I freaked out, pulled up the blanket, and sat up straight.
Nenya made a sulky expression. He seems to have realized that force is not enough.
So Nenya folded her blanket and threw it behind her. The exposed naked body approaches me.
”So don’t be mistaken. I’m not interested in saving your life. If you die here, I’ll be sued and it won’t be good. You’re like a bastard porter who says he doesn’t like it but does everything he doesn’t want to do.”
With her cute silence followed and belly button right in front of my head, Nenya chews out each word.
“I just want to feel what Lennie felt.”
