I Became the Golden Sun in the Cartoon 120

Chapter 120 – Female Knight

“…So you’re saying that Netoru came to help Kerene, who was being beaten?”

“What···. It happened that way.”

“·······”

After listening to Netoru’s story, Ceres cautiously looked at Kerene. Her red-haired woman had been silent since earlier, only looking down at her floor.

Ceres, who was watching the scene, clenched his fists under the table in an unseen gaze.

Confusion and sadness. And hesitation.

In the midst of such feelings, Ceres had to think about how to accept the current situation.
Should I be sorry Or should I say coldly what this has to do with me?

I don’t know. My head is complicated.

······To be honest, Ceres was uncomfortable with Kerene.

It’s already a twisted relationship, and didn’t they quarrel with each other just yesterday? No matter how good memories were in the past, they were meaningless in the face of reality.

But why?

Ceres could not treat Kerene as someone who had nothing to do with him, like an enemy.

Ceres, wondering what the reason was, was able to find the answer without difficulty. It wasn’t just pity for Kerene. Ceres was recalling his old self through Kerene.

What would it have been like if I had stayed with the Knights?
Then, would I have become so pitiful and miserable like Kerene?

Ceres remembers Cerene as a bright and lively woman like her gorgeous red hair. And she was proud When she was next to her, she always felt energized. So Ceres liked Kerene.

But why did Kerene’s sister become like this?

Is it because the coupling partner has changed? Probably. When Ceres just joined, Cerene’s partner wasn’t originally Boldroy. He was a different person.

But now he’s gone. It is dead.

Ceres remembers. That day she was just crying without saying anything as if she was empty. And now, Kerene’s appearance was as empty as it was reminiscent of that day.

…Really. Why did this happen?

While various emotions were condensed in his chest, Ceres, who had opened his lips, could not stand it and spoke.

“…Cerene’s sister has changed a lot since meeting Lord Baldroy.”

“·······”

At Ceres’ words, Kerene just kept her head up and avoided her gaze. Ceres, who had been watching this scene, closed her eyes for a moment, sighed, and looked at Netoru.

Now I roughly understand the situation.

······But.

Ceres stared at Netoru with curt eyes, his eyes slightly narrowed.

“···You. I’m asking just in case, but you really don’t mean to hug Kerene’s sister, do you?”

I understand that you said that to Sir Baldroy in order to help Cerene. But that was all. Of course I really hate to put it into practice. Besides, didn’t they mix their bodies with each other right away last night?

Seeing Ceres’ cool gaze, Netoru hinted.

“You don’t like it either?”

“Of course, of course…! You are my coupling partner! That, by the way… How···.”

You think about hugging another girl in front of me?

Ceres, who couldn’t bear to follow his words, hesitated, wiggling his hands. Like I don’t know what the hell to say about this back story.
But in the end, Ceres gathered courage and continued with a calm voice. Fortunately, all the thoughts I had been thinking about in the room until now were of great help.

“…This is unacceptable as a coupling partner. Of course, the wavelength of the coupling that was matched at best is disturbed, and in the first place, you don’t really need to hug Kerene, right?”

“…Well, that’s right.”

Netoru nodded. But Ceres couldn’t be relieved. Why? A hint of hesitation could be seen on Netoru’s face.

Are you really greedy?

Now that things have turned out this way, did he really become interested in hugging Kerene?

Certainly, even in Ceres’ eyes, Kerene was a beauty. Her bewitching yet distinctive splendid appearance was definitely a quality that would attract attention from men. Perhaps even Netoru was possessed by it.

Furthermore···. She had half forgotten about it.

There were bad rumors about Netoru. Bad rumors about coupling partnerships.
Of course, I didn’t believe those rumors anymore, but Ceres, who once kept Netoru in check with those rumors, couldn’t help but think of them again.

“Ceres. For now, tell me my story…”

“… Shi, I don’t like it. No matter what you say, I can’t…”

Netoru tried to add something, as if there was something missing, but Ceres, feeling a bit impatient, interrupted him and emphasized his opinion once more.

Then Netoru’s troubled look and expression formed in Ceres’ eyes.

I really hate it. As he stared at Netoru like that, Ceres felt more and more nervous. His head was congested, and his heart ached.

Do you really want to hold Kerene in your arms?
Even if I, the coupling partner, oppose it like this?

It was at the time when Ceres, feeling betrayed by that fact, was shaking his body once.
Ceres, who had been observing Ceres with her head raised for some time, smiled softly and spoke her words.

“…Netoru, you. I’d like you to leave the room for a while, would that be okay?”

2.

─Click

When Netoru left, only the two women remained in the room, and only a heavy silence lingered. In that silence, Cerene stared blankly at Ceres for a while without saying a word.

Nervousness and fear.

What should I say about the face of Ceres, with such emotions floating around? To be honest, I was envious to the point of being jealous. That’s because no matter who sees it, it’s because he genuinely likes his coupling partner.

······It seems like I met a really good partner.

Even as a holy cavalry pilot,

Even as an ordinary woman, she

It was really embarrassing.

Thanks to this, Kerene felt more sorry for her own situation. She herself, like Ceres in front of her once, had a time when she longed for someone.

It was a distant memory that will never return.

And she was kind of weird.

She’s that clumsy girl who used to be dragged around by her coupling partner in the Knights Templar, but now she’s a full-fledged woman and she’s blooming like a flower.

…Perhaps this is why I had no choice but to be harsh with Ceres.

Some are doing this because they lost their original mate in the Knights, but someone left the Knights and found their mate.

Who could not be jealous of this?

Even when I look back, I feel sloppy and miserable.
Kelene smiled bitterly at her face, not shying away from her own dirty side. Since when did I become like this? I should have died at the same time.

“…What do you want to talk about with me?”

Ceres was the first to break the silence. Kerene, who was lost in her thoughts, laughed at Ceres. It was because her innocent gaze was just cute.

When he cursed at himself, he stayed still like an idiot, but when his coupling partner got involved, he attacked in the shower, and even now, he stands tall like a hedgehog.

Is that guy good?

Good anyway Here, Kerene said her words simply.

“Don’t be so vigilant. I have no intention of taking your coupling partner away. Besides, it’s not my taste to steal someone else’s favorite.”

—If you cooperate with my experiment, I’ll free you from Baldroy.

To be honest, it’s not that I’m not greedy at all.

If Netoru really had that ability, Kerene relied on her power and she just wanted to release her own shackles. She hadn’t come this far and had no intention of having a dirty fight with Ceres.

Besides, above all… Considering the look in Netoru’s eyes, he didn’t seem to have much interest in us.

Thanks to this, from Kerene’s point of view, she knows men well, to the point where she thought Ceres was worrying unnecessarily. To the point where she just wants to cheer me on.

“Joe, you’re someone I like… I’m just a coupling partner…

“·······”

…But it seemed like there was something I had to do before cheering. Ceres’ unexpected reaction made Kerene laugh.

In a good way, Ceres was clearly a half-penny.

3.

“…This is difficult.”

What are you two talking about? Netoru, who had left the room at Kerene’s request, smiled bitterly.

Considering the attitude Ceres showed in the hangar, I thought he would be very repulsed. But I didn’t expect Ceres’ reaction to be like this.

Thanks to this, he couldn’t properly explain that he would break the coupling between Kerene and Boldroy.
Even Netoru couldn’t say anything when Ceres suddenly started crying like that.

······Wouldn’t it be better to just give up?

Actually, there was no need for Netoru to do this for Kerene.
Of course, it was true that the design of the magical nervous system was greedy, but there was no need to overdo it by twisting the relationship with Ceres, which was starting to get better.

Then it would be better to give up. After organizing his thoughts in his head, Netoru leaned against the wall and waited for the two of them to finish their conversation.

It was about 30 minutes after I left the room.
─Clap
At that time, Netoru was able to confirm that Ceres’ door was opening.

“…The story is over.”

Ceres stuck her head out through the gap in the open door and said that. But maybe the story didn’t go well?

There was something strange about Ceres’ appearance.
Without making eye contact properly, there was a hint of hesitation about something. He licked his lips and seemed to swallow the words hesitantly.

I would hate it too I understand. Netoru laughed awkwardly at Ceres.

“Sorry. I’m giving up, so don’t make that face.”

“Yes?”

“Even when I think about it, it was a very rash decision.”

“···Yes?”

“…?”

Netoru, who was talking, tilted his head. It was because Ceres innocently blinked as if something didn’t work.

Inside the strange silence.

After a while, Ceres spoke cautiously.

“That, that’s… I was trying to say it was okay?”

“…Are you okay?”

Netoru was a little surprised. What did Kerene say inside that caused her attitude to change so suddenly? In the midst of such doubts, Ceres added a word.

“Oh, it can’t be helped! They say that with your help, Cerene’s sister can be freed from Lord Baldroy… I’m just in case, but that’s not a lie, is it? You mean to twist the coupling wavelength…?”

“···Of course. There’s no way I could lie about something like this.”

“Whoa… All right. But instead, there is one condition.”

“Condition?”

“Yes···.”

Ceres nodded his head. Then he took a deep breath and closed his eyes tightly.

“You can’t be alone with Kerene-nee…”
