Chapter 152 – Towards the Next Summoning Equipment (5)
“Master~.”
As I was looking at the sunset outside the window, I heard the door opening and Noah’s voice.
What was unusual was that Noah’s voice was different from usual.
She looks a little upset and her tongue feels slightly twisted.
Yes, it was very similar to the voice of someone who was even more drunk.
She turned her head in the direction of the sound and saw Noah entering the room, lying limply on top of Yuria.
At the same time, one of her hands is raised and waving towards me.
When I looked at Noah’s face, it turned red, so it seemed like he was drunk.
“Why is Noah doing that?”
“Really… I came home after dinner, and suddenly Noah and her older sister said she wanted to drink, so I made her drink and it ended up like this…”
Yuria answered my question in a voice that showed her fatigue.
It seems that overthrowing Noah was quite difficult.
Haha! It feels good!”
Yuria’s back suddenly started fluttering, wondering what felt good about her limp body.
“Ugh, Noah! Stay still!”
After putting down her fluttering Noah, Yuria quickly went to her bed and threw her Noah onto her bed.
Thud!
“Ahh! Ugh… It’s fluffy…”
“Really… It’s really… To suddenly become like this after drinking too much.”
As soon as Noah lay down on her bed, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
“I think it would be best to at least take off his clothes and put him to sleep. Yuria and Freya, please.”
I spoke to Yuria, who didn’t seem to be in a good mood, and to Freya, who followed her.
“I will follow God’s word.”
“Ugh… I told you to stop drinking because of this.”
After hearing what I said, Yuria and Freya began to take off Noah’s clothes, and I went out of the room.
After taking a nap, I woke up and it was evening so I needed to eat something.
“Noah, please clean up. I’ll come back after eating something. And I have a story to tell everyone, so um… Please gather in the next room. I’ll put Noah to sleep over there because he’s drinking, and I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.”
As I was leaving the room, I told Yuria and Freya in advance that I had to convey to everyone what I discussed with Gaia today.
I definitely remembered that there was a restaurant here in the accommodation.
I should get something to eat there to fill my stomach.
As I left the room, I ran into Lien in the next room.
“Master, are you awake? When I came back briefly during the day, you were asleep and I didn’t wake you up.”
“I just woke up. Maybe that’s why I’m a little hungry.”
As if my body recognized that I had woken up, my stomach began to growl.
“Is that so? We ate dinner outside. If it’s okay, would you mind if I join you for dinner?”
“I’m fine. I get bored when I eat alone.”
Lien smiled brightly after hearing what I said and came next to me.
“Thank you, my lord.”
“Oh, is everyone in the room by any chance? I have something to tell you guys. I’d like to tell you after eating.”
As I spoke to Lien and tried to enter the room next to her, Lien blocked my path.
“Oh, if that’s the case, I’ll pass it along. Could you wait outside for a moment?”
“Hmm? It doesn’t matter to me. Just pass it along.”
Lien heard me and quickly entered her room.
Lien’s intentions were so clear that I laughed a little.
If I say that I will go inside and eat and then deliver it, Renia or Ellie will probably come forward and say that they will go to the restaurant with me like Lien did.
It seemed obvious that he wanted to have me all to himself, so he said he would deliver it himself.
Before some time had passed, Lien opened the door and came out of the room.
“I delivered it to everyone in the room. Let’s go to the dining room.”
Hearing Lien’s words, we walked towards the restaurant and I asked quietly.
“What did you say to Lenia and Ellie in the room?”
“…Yes?”
Lien was startled by my words and she looked at my face.
“I’m just curious. I think he would have come out of the room to go with me when I told him I was going to eat.”
“Well, that’s…”
Lien was so taken aback by my playful voice that she literally showed me what a pupil earthquake was.
I laughed involuntarily at the sight of him not knowing what to say or what to do.
“Why are you so embarrassed? I was just asking as a joke.”
“… My master is a bit mischievous today. Don’t you know what I’ve been up to?”
Lien must have realized that I was teasing her as she blushed and puffed out her cheeks slightly.
I feel like this is my first time seeing Lien like this.
“That’s right. I also teased you once. You don’t often get opportunities like this, right?”
“That’s… That’s true. Still, I hope you will refrain from doing so in front of everyone.”
Even as she nodded, saying that I understood what Lien said, I couldn’t help the smile that spread across her lips.
Lien must have been embarrassed to the point where her entire face was red for showing embarrassment in front of me.
Lien and I walked slowly and entered the restaurant inside the dorm, and I looked at the menu.
When I looked around to see what was suitable, I noticed that they were selling simple bread and soup as a set, so I chose that.
She vaguely invited Lien, who was waiting next to her, to eat with her, but she declined, saying it was okay since she had just eaten a lot.
She says she just wants to watch me eat.
In fact, I noticed a figure sitting across from where I was sitting and watching me eat with great satisfaction.
“Is it really okay if I don’t eat it? I feel bad that I’m the only one eating it.”
“I’m full enough right now. It’s good just to be like this for now.”
I know that everyone likes me, but Lien is the one who silently follows me without saying anything.
Even now, when I eat, he doesn’t talk or anything, he just watches.
If this is Lien’s happiness, it wouldn’t be okay to leave it as is.
We had a simple conversation while eating, and before we knew it, we had finished eating.
I got up to go back to the room.
As I left the restaurant, I could see a very subtle look of regret on Lien’s face.
“Are you very sorry?”
“It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t disappointed. There aren’t many opportunities like this these days. Still, I can’t have the lord all to myself, so it can’t be helped.”
Well, when I summoned Lien, there were only three of them: Ellie, Yuria, and Lien, but before I knew it, the number of game characters had increased to seven.
Also, Elsha will be added later.
Lien continued his story.
“I know very well that you are there for all of us. I also know that there is no situation where you can love me the most.”
As Lien spoke, he started walking faster than me, then turned directly in front of me and looked at my face.
“But I am confident that my love for you will never be defeated by anyone. I just need you to know that. That is enough for me.”
Lien didn’t know how to speak directly like this, so I was momentarily embarrassed and couldn’t speak this time.
Is this how someone who suddenly gets proposed to feels?
I was worried for a moment about what to do, and then I just hugged Lien who was standing in front of me.
“Thank you, Lien. Thank you for understanding that because each and every one of you is precious, it is difficult to shower affection on just one person.”
“I am truly grateful, my lord.”
Honestly, if everyone’s eyes turn to me and a fight breaks out to have me all to myself, I don’t have the confidence to stop it.
I feel truly grateful that we are all living together peacefully like we are now.
It’s a bit touching to hear him say this directly.
After hugging for a while, we separated and went into Lien’s room.
In the room, everyone except Noah was waiting for me.
The image of Renia lying face down on the bed, the image of Yuria touching a cherry here and there, the image of Ellie and Freya looking at each other with serious expressions, although I don’t know what they are talking about, and the image of everyone sitting on the bed and looking at each other. Figure.
Noah couldn’t see if she was sleeping in my room.
Everyone, who was wearing various forms, focused their attention on me as I entered the room.
“Are you here? Jinu.”
“You waited, right? It’s been a while since I said I’d come back after eating.”
When I told them I had eaten, question marks appeared on some people’s faces.
Oh, Lien didn’t say that.
“Unni Lien? What do you mean by this? Didn’t Jinu say you had business to do alone?”
“I didn’t lie. My lord came after having dinner ‘alone’. I was just watching from the side.”
Everyone was momentarily speechless as Lien spoke confidently without changing her facial expression.
“Huh… You’re not saying that, are you?”
“I didn’t lie. That’s just the truth.”
We all looked at Lien with a puzzled expression.
Well, this isn’t important.
“Everyone, please pay attention. The reason I went into the dorm alone today was because I wanted to talk to Gaia. Luckily, she heard my voice calling me and came.”
As soon as I started speaking, everyone started paying attention to what I was saying.
“I was asking if you knew anything else about Void so I could decide what to do next.”
“You say that the incompetent god knows something about Void?”
I shook my head at Ellie’s question.
“When I first asked, he said he hadn’t figured out anything yet.”
“I guess you figured something out since you said it was the first time you asked.”
I nodded at Ellie’s words.
“Gaia said that she cannot feel Void beings. So I asked her to look for a place that felt out of place, and what she found was that there must be something on the west side of this continent. It seems to me that the Void is hiding there. “
I could see everyone’s expressions brightening when they heard what I said.
“Then the next target is a country to the west!”
“Can we finally get rid of the Void?”
“They were annoying guys, and I want to get rid of them as soon as possible.”
I also feel better because I can share good news.
“Also, if you go there, you might find at least one piece of equipment that can be used for summoning. With that, you can summon the last Elsha as well. Let’s create a situation where we kill two birds with one stone by summoning Elsha and eliminating Void as well.”
