Chapter 361 – 361. Meeting (2)
Returning straight back to the interior of the dungeon house, Erin greeted the three women who were having a late lunch at her table.
“I’m home!”
“Yes?”
Illyana, who was eating her soup, stopped her spoon and looked at Erin as she entered the living room and put on her puzzled expression.
“Why are you already here? I told you to come in and play.”
“Hehe, the way I am dressed now is a bit like that…”
Scratching her head and making an embarrassed expression, Erin’s outfit was beyond words.
She couldn’t ignore her hair, which had been unwashed for a long time, and the blood and stench that splattered on her body as she went on to subdue the goblins.
“Huh. That’s right. Because she’s proof that she worked hard. She really wants Hyun-i to give her a reward, right?”
“Yes! Thank you!”
Erin responded energetically to the words of Illyana, who supported her with a smile on her eyes.
It was the same with Eleanor and Lily, who responded that she was cute when she saw Erin, who was full of her great ambition.
Erin immediately turned her attention to Lily.
“Sister, well… Have you finished?”
“Huh.”
Lily replied with a smile, but her answer, which was very brief and powerless, was not a good look for anyone to see.
If she is having such a hard time, is it okay for her to feel this good?
She held that thought in her heart for a moment, but seeing Erin’s face revealing it all in her expression, Lily smiled bitterly and shook her head.
“I’m okay. Erin. Should I come and have a good time with my master?”
“… Huh. I will.”
“By the way, where did he go and did he come in alone?”
“Ah, Hyun-i…”
“The child went to the mansion of this saintess child.”
The one who answered Eleanor’s question was Belldandi, who materialized through materialization.
“Would you like a bowl for me too?”
“Yes. Mr. Belldandi.”
She naturally sat down at the table and asked her Lily, who nodded her head and got up from her seat to head to her kitchen.
Erin supplemented Belldandi’s explanation.
“Hyun went to see Alex.”
“Brother?”
“Yes.”
While Erin is getting ready, Eun-hyeon uses her remaining time to connect with her side of Heilang, synthesizing information collected regularly, predicting the future situation with Abros and Alex, and holding a meeting to prepare for change. Had
An important topic in it was Yuria’s secret, which only Eunhyun and Alex know about at this point.
“I see.”
Eleanor hadn’t heard the details from Eunhyeon or Alex yet, but she could roughly guess what kind of conversation was going on.
“Huh. Baby.”
“Yes?”
After greeting her, Illyana called to Erin.
“Do you remember the book I gave you before?”
If it was the book that Illyana had given her, there was only one.
An adult novel that contains love between a man and a woman.
Occasionally, there were times when I comforted myself by delusion that the characters in the book were Eunhyeon and myself.
“…”
“Looking at your expression, do you remember?”
“Yes,”
Illyana smiled and smiled as she continued.
“Cheer up?”
Realizing what that meant, Erin nodded her head once again to her courage.
“Yes! All right!”
Illyana and Eleanor smiled happily as Erin went straight into the shower and resumed their meal.
“Berdandi-sama, is it okay if you don’t stay with him?”
This was the first time that his goddess, Belldandi, who was always by Eun-hyeon’s side whenever he was in the underworld, was away from Eun-hyeon.
“Huh, for today, I want Ai to be able to spend time with Shinsoo Ai.”
Verdandi’s consideration for taking advantage of Illyana and Eleanor’s intention to actively support Erin had various meanings.
“And… Oh, thank you.”
She glanced to her side and smiled at Lily, who had placed a bowl of food in front of her, stroking her hair kindly.
“Yes…”
Lily was ashamed of the goddess’ touch, but did not avoid it.
Although it was not expressed outwardly, it was also Eun-hyeon’s consideration that she placed in hopes that Lily’s heart, which was filling up her loss of her mother with Belldandi’s motherhood, would improve little by little.
Illyana made an interesting expression at the sight of the two showing a relationship like a parent and daughter.
“Huh?”
She was a goddess who felt maternal love for demons and demons who liked the touch of a goddess. She was twisted for a long time, but it didn’t seem that this relationship was so bad.
Lily relied on Belldandi, who reminded her of her own mother, to heal her wounds that were etched deep within her heart.
Belldandi readily accepted her dependence on Lily.
Illyana smiled and asked Lily.
“Lily. That magic on this trip. Have you tried it?”
“Yes.”
Lily understood the meaning of her question and nodded her head.
The reason why Lily was able to use her dream world, ‘The Forest of Dreams’, her dream horse’s unique ability, was entirely due to the cooperation of her specialist, Illyana, in the field of using magic.
Of course, that too was for her Lily’s reasons to bolster her powers, but she was also purely for her own desires.
“So is it time to try the next step?”
“Hmm?”
“Is this the next step?”
Belldandi and Eleanor showed interest in Illyana’s words.
◆ ◆ ◆
“Right. Duchy of Saviros…”
Abros and Alex, who had been listening to Eunhyun’s story, hardened their expressions as they swallowed their saliva.
The fact that he destroyed the huge organization called the Brodia Mafia, and at the same time caused a big problem in the Duchy of Saviros, made many thoughts in Avros and Alex’s heads.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you why in detail.”
If we were to talk, the first thing to do would be to seek permission from Lily, the owner of this personal history.
It is a fact that he already knew from Eleanor that Lily and Erin accompanied Eunhyun on this trip from the beginning.
Even if Eunhyun didn’t tell me, I was able to make a rough guess.
It’s not that I don’t believe his words, but considering the national situation and political movements, there was a possibility that Eun-hyeon’s actions would cause great disturbance in the kingdom of Rendir.
“How is Yeongji’s situation?”
“It’s making a lot of progress.”
To Eunhyun’s question, Alex answered literally.
Among them, the most notable achievement was the influx of newbie adventurers.
The welfare policy, which was being implemented with a large budget for fostering adventurers, was implemented with Eunhyeon’s intention.
In order to add even a little to this adventurer’s budget, he made various plans such as selling the potions he regularly made and making a large profit, and some of the money went to the Duke’s family through Jiss in the form of donations. Mobilized to help revitalize the internal economy of the territory.
“As you said, we are nurturing adventurers, but may I ask what you are planning?”
“… War.”
“… !”
The bloody keyword Eunhyun came up with was enough to make Abro and Alex flinch at the same time.
“… Where do you have war in mind?”
“…”
Eun-hyeon remained silent in response to Avros’ question with a firm expression, but soon opened her mouth to answer.
“I do not know.”
You don’t know who will be fighting, when, where, or why.
However, the premonition and anxiety that something big will happen one day gradually piled up.
Just like when he used the hammer of Vulcanos to craft his god’s weapon, the key.
It is similar to when you have a strong hunch that someone is deliberately leading your destiny.
That’s why Eunhyeon is preparing for the future someday.
As a means of raising troops, many adventurers come here to hone their skills.
Using the Duke of Armitas family, he arranged the environment and induced the situation.
“Right. I get it.”
“Do you believe me?”
Abros too willingly believed in his thought, which was given priority only to a vague premonition that a war might break out someday, without detailed explanations.
“Since you’re talking about it, there must be a reason.”
“…”
“Your father is right. And you are now Eleanor’s husband.”
“Ha, yes.”
Eunhyun laughed a little and nodded his head.
“As a policy for the population that has flowed into the current Armitas territory…”
Afterwards, Alex continued discussions with Eunhyeon to stabilize the internal affairs of Yeongji, which was growing rapidly.
“Unlike the developed territory, I plan to increase the number of soldiers and knights in order to maintain public order that could deteriorate.”
“Then, I would like to invite the adventurers who are active in the Armitas territory…”
Abros did not participate in their conversation, but listened to their conversation from a distance.
Quietly closing his eyes, he listened to his son’s voice as he grew up to become the owner and aristocrat of this territory, responsible for the people and people of the territory.
In the evening as the sun went down, after the discussion at the duke’s mansion, Eun-hyeon left the mansion.
“Hyun-a!”
While going outside through the garden, Eunhyeon turned her head when she heard a voice calling her in a bright voice.
Seeing Erin running toward him with an expression full of anticipation, I naturally smiled.
But even so, she knew her heart, so she also had a heavy heart at the same time.
The reason why her wives and Belldandy so openly pushed her was because she knew her feelings for Erin, but didn’t show her clear attitude.
‘This is a completely trashy mindset that runs a fishing ground.’
Although it was not his intention, he was pushed by her wives and Belldandi’s annoyance, and at the end of the trip with Lily, he felt that the time had come to settle his personal worries.
“Did you finish talking to the Duke?”
“Huh.”
Eunhyun smiled and nodded her head.
“Let’s go.”
“Huh. What are you going to do today?”
“I buy clothes, I eat, and I buy the necessary equipment if I have it. And…”
There was a schedule after that, but Eunhyeon didn’t bother to talk about it.
She thought it wouldn’t be too late to talk about it later.
For now, I made up my mind to focus on making Erin happy, who was spending time alone.
“Do you want something to eat?”
“I want to eat meat!”
Erin, who had been eating preserved food for five days while she was subjugating goblins with her newbie party, was still very hungry.
“Okay. Let’s go.”
Eunhyeon passed through the central plaza and headed for a shopping street lined with restaurants to fill Erin’s hungry stomach.
During the early dinner hours, which started around 4pm, the restaurants were fairly quiet.
The two of them came to the restaurant alone and ordered a barbecue for 6 people from the beginning.
In general, there were some adventurous guests who ate more food than average, but it was very rare to see two men and women eating six meals neatly.
Even after that, the time between Eunhyeon and Erin continued.
I spent time looking around to see if there was any additional equipment I needed, or if there were any jewelry or trinkets I liked.
“Wow…”
Erin was also a woman, so she was impressed by the sparkling and beautiful jewelry.
“Shall I buy it?”
She was willing to buy as much as she had to say, but Erin shook her head without hesitation.
“Ah… No. I can live like this.”
It wasn’t that she was promoted to a gold rank in the first year for nothing.
She doesn’t have the tendency to waste things unnecessarily, and she has a lot of Erin’s personal wealth that she’s been saving while doing her job.
And more than anything else, Erin wanted to completely cut off any room for Eunhyeon to use the ‘wish’ she had previously promised in this way, just in case.
For Erin, her wish clearly existed.
As she enjoyed spending time with Eun-hyeon, the sun set and the time of night approached.
‘How… Will you speak up?’
Erin pondered over countless thoughts in her head as she and Eunhyeon walked side by side on the night street in the darkening plaza.
Eventually, she recalled Illyana’s advice.
-Do you remember the book I gave you before?
– Looking at your expression, do you remember it?
-Cheer up?
In the novel that Illyana gave me as a gift, she recalled that when a bewitching woman seduces a man she likes, she recites certain actions and lines.
“… Hyuna.”
“Huh?”
Erin grabbed Eunhyun by one arm and hugged her tightly.
As she put her arms between her voluptuous breasts, she tightened her breasts with both of her arms and, as if never to let go, she secured his arms tightly.
“… Erin… ?”
Eun-hyeon put on a slightly embarrassed expression at her sudden action of her own, but Erin didn’t miss the chance.
He took courage and opened his mouth because the situation was very similar to the content in the novel he had read.
“Me… I don’t want to go home today.”
