Chapter 78 – Strolling
“Ha… “
A sigh keeps flowing.
The image of the warrior who saved me keeps coming to mind.
‘What is this… ‘
It’s not that I don’t know about this feeling.
I was just not sure because I had only been told what it meant to have these feelings when I thought of someone.
‘Did I come to like the hero… ?’
If it’s true, I think it’s unavoidable.
If someone hears it, they might think it’s a rationalization, but I thought it was a situation where they could fall in love enough.
A man who comes to the rescue at just the right moment when a crisis strikes? Unless it was a woman who was not very interested in the opposite sex, in such a situation, if not falling for it, at least it was enough to develop a crush.
And for me, who knows about the usual kindness, it was even more likable because it was in this situation.
Even more so because I was the one who built a wall with men all my life.
But I knew better than anyone that I shouldn’t be like that.
‘Already the hero is Rumia and… ‘
The hero was already in a relationship with Rumia.
That’s all, in order to subdue the demon king, the hero had to love only Lumia, so there was no room for interfering.
Besides, didn’t the two of them mix with each other?
Although it was said that they had no choice but to do it to save Ruril, it was clear that they mixed their bodies together, and that meant there was no room for them to intervene.
I had to forget this unknown feeling if I didn’t want to get hurt.
Yes, I wanted to forget about it and greet Rumia casually.
But when she saw her just before her Lumia and her eyes met, she didn’t make eye contact with her as she appeared.
It was because of her guilt towards myself for having such thoughts towards the warrior who already belonged to her, and the feeling of pity towards her friend and colleague.
If I continued like this and couldn’t make eye contact with Rumia, they would be suspicious of me for not being confident and restless.
“Ha… “
If I hadn’t known that fact, if I hadn’t known that in order to subdue the demon king, Rumia and the hero had to be connected, would I have felt this way?
Maybe he intervened to take over the hero.
But it was impossible for me.
Because I wasn’t given that opportunity in the first place.
“Calm down… “
Rather, this was fortunate.
To subdue the Demon King.
If he hadn’t known that the condition for subduing the demon king was that Rumia and the hero only like each other, he would have acted to connect with the hero, which would have resulted in not being able to subdue the demon king.
Perhaps to find peace of mind, I carefully held Ruril’s hand while looking down at Ruril who was sleeping next to me.
Unlike himself, who had no strength and could not even resist, Ruril was a strong adventurer.
If I hadn’t been there, if I hadn’t been held helplessly, none of this would have happened.
If it was the level of those slave traders, it would be very easy to get rid of them, but rather, it was natural since she was an elf girl with enough power to wipe them all out.
But because of me alone, I had to go through something that I wouldn’t have had to go through.
I was so sorry about that.
“Sorry… Luryl… “
I closed my eyes as I held the hand of Ruril, who was sleeping with a comfortable expression.
‘Conditions for subduing the demon lord’
I shouldn’t have forgotten
I closed my eyes.
While trying to shake off a small thought that sneakily came to my mind.
.
.
.

Is it okay
Cecilia’s condition did not look so good today.
There are probably many reasons, but I think the sudden kidnapping incident had the biggest impact on her psyche.
Why is it a kidnapping even if I wake up… I should have been a little more careful, but I felt regret.
[The people around her who were caught because of her, and the despair she feels because of her own incompetence is beyond imagination.]
That… I guess so.
In particular, it would be a great pain for Cecilia that even though she was a saint, she could not do anything in this situation.
‘Should I step in?’
[You’d better not step out. Because what you’re doing here right now is nothing but driving a nail into that child’s chest.]
‘That’s right… ‘
Even so, she is suffering from not being able to do anything, but if I, who contributed greatly to finding herself, came forward and comforted her, she would come to Cecilia with greater sadness.
Even if it was me, if someone who did a great job to find me would come forward and comfort me, I would feel sad, if not bad.
To be sure, Cecilia was by no means weak.
Rather, Cecilia had much stronger power than nuns her age.
However, after all, she is only a nun, so the reason for her helplessness is that she could not resist properly.
She is a weak nun.
It’s a very natural common sense in yagam.
Even if it wasn’t an ordinary nun, if it was a saint, she could save someone’s life, cast a protective shield, and apply buffs.
She has weak strength, no skills to attack anyone, and no future growth potential for her strength or skills.
Of course, even so, there was a strange person who made her saintess her strength character by accompanying her with all kinds of elixirs and training.
However, as if ridiculing such people, what came back was the appearance of hitting only normal hits without using any skills.
Even if an attack skill is learned, the saintess cannot use it.
Unlike other characters who use magical power, since they use a resource called divine power, how could they be able to use skills that use magical power?
Don’t there exist people like heretic judges who exude a torch to judge heresy?
That’s what’s most decisive.
There is no job called heresy judge in this game.
It certainly exists in the story, but not professionally meant one thing.
We can never wait to see the saintess grow stronger.
Even if all of the elixirs were tampered with and made into a superior stat that no character could match, the reality was that the attacks were weaker than those of other classes.
How strong would a non-existent attack skill and a normal hit without a damage multiplier be strong?
There was no way that Cecilia would be able to notice this aspect, but in the future, such a helpless figure would be seen often.
One of the reasons why Cecilia fell in love with her hero in the game setting that is immediately public is because she always comes to her rescue when she is in danger.
Even before she feels powerless towards herself, her warrior appears and rescues her, counsels her when she is having a hard time, and comforts her. How can I not fall for her?
I grinded my teeth…
‘Do you grind your teeth?’
What’s the point of a hero giving advice to Cecily when she’s having a hard time?
[Obsession is over.]
‘Ji, you’re an obsessive girl… !’
Why does the child get so impatient every time he sees me?
I put on a sullen expression.
[Why don’t you just spend a nice night with your husband?]
‘How are you so sweet in this situation?’
Look how the atmosphere is down.
In the first place, I don’t even feel like that right now.
[That’s right.]
Rumia nodded her head obediently as if she thought so too.
More than anything, I didn’t have the confidence to handle the back.
What would happen if Cecilia could hear the sound of the hero and me mingling in a difficult situation?
[Huh? Isn’t that enough for soundproofing magic?]
‘That’s true… ‘
[And unlike what you say, it’s a frustration that was deceived?]
That, that…
[And no matter how much he tried to save him, did he covet each other like beasts sitting next to Ruril?]
‘… ‘
I can’t deny it.
[I have to make excuses to make excuses… There’s no way you wouldn’t notice it even if you saw it.]
Shit.
Oh, but I hope you believe me.
To be honest, there were things that made me want to be with the hero even more because of work today.
Wouldn’t it be even more strange if you could see so many corpses and still be sane?
More than anything, today was hard for me too.
‘I’m sure I’ve become very strange… To think that you want to be comforted by a hero… ‘
[It’s not that it’s weird, it’s normal. Everyone has a desire to be comforted by someone they like.]
‘Is it… ?’
[Okay. You’re not weird so don’t worry.]
I hesitated and called the warrior.
Just… I felt like I wanted to go out and talk with the dragon.
I have to go out for a while.
