Chapter 287 – Ep.286 Goldias Kingdom
Purr-
“Aren’t you uncomfortable?”
“Yep. It’s okay.”
“We just need to go a little further, so please be patient.”
The sturdy woman grabbed the reins of her horse again and began walking along the snow-covered forest path. The other women surrounding her also moved again, as if escorting her at the forefront.
‘Hmm.’
On the horse I had ridden for the first time in my life, I rolled my eyes and looked around to sort out the situation.
‘Therefore…’
With Nyaho’s help, she rolled out of her carriage safely.
Thanks to Shiorin’s excellent magic, no one was injured, and after some time had passed after her body was examined, the pursuers arrived where I was.
The Chaser. So, the sturdy women came up to me as I stood blankly in the snow, and without asking any questions, politely volunteered to help me.
A woman who appears to be a leader gives me her only horse, takes the reins in her own hands, and walks through the snow.
He asked me if I was injured, if I was hungry or cold, and seemed to pay constant attention to my health and to check for any abnormalities in my body.
Of course, I wasn’t injured, I wasn’t cold, and I had a hearty lunch before coming, so I actually refused to do anything other than borrow her horse and ride.
After that, they surrounded me like they were protecting me, and I was crossing the pure white snow field.
‘I guess Nemea is nearby, right?’
Since she is someone who cannot sense her presence even if she is right in front of her, I thought that if she blends in with this pure white scenery, she might not notice her even if she passes right in front of her nose.
‘But if you were going to take me like this, was there really a need to fall off the carriage?’
When I fell off the carriage, I thought I would be dragged away like a prisoner, but in reality, I was being treated like a valuable item that could easily be broken if handled incorrectly.
They say that the women here are all followers of Kalm and do not question Kalm’s orders, but if this gets to the ears of other apostles, it will be enough to raise questions or curiosity.
Of course, since it was a place where I did not have to worry about the eyes of other apostles, Kalm may have ordered them to treat me with respect.
‘So, if you were going to treat them like this from the beginning, why was it necessary to show them jumping off the carriage?’
I’m not particularly dissatisfied with this situation. Are there any complaints about riding comfortably on a horse instead of walking?
It’s just pure curiosity. It wasn’t because I was embarrassed or annoyed that I couldn’t jump down in one go and told Nyaho to push me.
I don’t mean to argue, but I plan to ask Kalm later when I meet him. It’s not that Kalm is easy. If Nemea were here right now, I would have asked her. But you can’t ask someone who doesn’t have one.
I was grumbling to myself, but then I got tired of even that and gave up, blankly abandoning my thoughts, got on the horse, and was carried for quite a long time.
“We’re all here.”
“Oh, I see. “Can I get off?”
“Let me help you.”
The woman who had walked on the reins for me came over and held my hand firmly to support her body until I was fully down, so as not to trip over her saddle footrest.
Pout.
Even as I get older, stamping my feet on a plain snow field still excites me.
“Then. “I will open it.”
The dependable woman lowered her posture and put her hands into her eyes. She then pulled out her arm as if to lift her fish trap that she had thrown into the water.
Passsssuk.
As her hand rose, the snow that had piled up around her swept down behind her. In an instant, a staircase leading down appeared.
“You can follow me.”
“Oh, yes.”
The dependable woman casually stepped down her stairs and began to walk down them. I followed her carefully.
Click-
I turned around after hearing the sound of the lock turning, and saw that the passage leading to the outside was already tightly closed. Perhaps other believers who came with us but did not come down cleaned up after us.
“Isn’t it dark?”
“It’s okay.”
The passage leading to the outside was blocked, but thanks to the magic lights installed tightly on top of the stairs, there was no difficulty in going down the stairs.
‘Anyway, he really likes the basement.’
The place where Siron and I were kidnapped last time was also a place dug underground, and this time seemed to be no different.
How much time and manpower would have been invested to dig a tunnel this deep and build proper facilities…
If we change our thinking and build on the ground, it would be good and save money and time in many ways.
‘What. If you look at the image alone, it is true that it is underground.’
After thinking about such trivial things a few times, I reached the end of the long stairs. However, the structure was a bit different from what I expected.
I expected something like a long hallway or a staircase, but in reality it was just a small space where three people could barely stand, with a door a little taller than me.
“From here on, you must go alone.”
“… Okay.”
The dependable woman said, stepping aside to her.
“There is a total world room. There is nothing to pay special attention to for the first and second rooms, but when you enter the third room, you must stand in the magic circle drawn in the center.”
“A magic circle?”
“Yes. Oh, it’s not strange. “You don’t have to worry because it’s a magic circle that moves you to a more private space.”
“Okay.”
Let’s move it from here to a more secret place. How far did they dig the ground?
“If you stand in the center of the magic circle, the circle will activate after a while. “Please understand that you may feel slightly dizzy and nauseous after activation.”
“That’s it…”
“Then it was an honor to be able to serve you.”
“No, um… Yes. Thank you.”
I lightly patted the shoulder of a dependable woman who was overly polite, then opened the door and went inside her.
Sweet.
The door closed by itself.
Since the scene that appeared before my eyes was not that strange, I turned my back to the closed door and walked forward.
“It’s a bathhouse.”
There was a closet where you normally take off your clothes, and in front of it was a transparent glass door that I had seen many times before. Beyond that was a space filled with cloudy vapor.
“It’s good, but it would have been better if we had enjoyed it together.”
I expressed some disappointment over the order in which Kalm was placed, took off my clothes and entered the bath.
“Oh… “There’s something to drink.”
A small shelf next to the huge bathtub.
Above it were glass bottles filled with colorful liquids.
There I held a bottle filled with a clear sky blue liquid.
“It’s even cool.”
It looks like Kalm prepared very hard for me.
I sat down in the bathtub holding a bottle filled with an unknown drink.
“The water temperature is just right.”
I leaned back comfortably and lightly sipped a drink with an intriguing color in my mouth.
“Push… !!”
And spit it out.
“… “I felt like I couldn’t remember anything.”
The day I thoughtlessly tried to appeal to Kernax for sex, I went to the temple of the God of Fertility with Kernax and bought blue wine.
It seems to be a special product that can only be purchased at the temple of the God of Fertility, and it is said that if a woman pours this into a man’s cup and he drinks it, it means that she will accept love.
“No. Is it okay for a cult member to have something like this?”
We need to bring in things that are more stimulating and addictive. How can we bring in the special products of the opposing forces?
I put the bottle I was holding down outside the bath and looked at the shelf.
Glass bottles with colorful contents.
‘… ‘Aren’t those all sold at other temples?’
I’ll have to ask Kalm later.
“Hmph. “I just lost my appetite.”
I got up, spitting out the slightly sweet residue that remained on my tongue.
It’s good to enjoy the bath alone, but it’s more enjoyable and happy to enjoy the bath with a lover you can cuddle with. So, I need to quickly meet Kalm, give him some relief, and then go home as soon as possible.
After getting out of the bath, I approached a door that was exactly the same as the glass door I entered through, in terms of location, size, and shape.
“With a towel… “Is it a gown?”
After thoroughly drying my body with the towel that had been prepared in advance, I put on the pure white gown that was hanging on a hanger. After tying the front island with string to prevent it from coming loose, I opened the door connected to the third room, which is said to have a magic circle drawn on it.
A small room with nothing special.
It was a room that looked like a miniature version of the basement in Mallingta.
A thought occurred to me as I was looking at the complex patterns drawn on the floor in white.
‘Could it be that this place was created just because of me?’
It took a lot of effort to dig deep into the ground. However, all that was built was one dressing room, one bath, and one small room.
‘I think it was made for me.’
What can I say? I am grateful that they cared and invested so much for me, but it was also a burden, so I think I should tell them not to do this again from now on.
“Let’s see… “Is it okay to write about this?”
I stood with both feet firmly in the center of the circle.
‘It’s like moving through space.’
In novels and games, magic such as teleportation often appears as a basic skill for wizards. But in reality, it was a magic that only a famous archmage on the continent could attempt, and that could only be used in children’s books.
That’s why I was a little excited.
What does it really feel like to move through space?
“Whew. I’m nervous for no reason…”
Cuuuuu!!
“… ?!”
A deafening roar and a tremendous shock struck the entire room. The ground I was standing on shook and I almost lost my balance, and small crumbs fell from the ceiling, staining my body.
“What…”
The moment I was about to leave the circle when I heard a loud noise that told me something had happened.
Paaaaa!!
Intense light burst from the floor.
“Huh?!”
The light that burst from the pattern I stepped on as if it would not allow me to open my eyes instantly engulfed the narrow space along with me.
**
“… Sir.”
“… Miss…”
“Mr. Smith!!”
“… ?”
My eyes opened to the voice of a very familiar girl.
The first thing that caught my eye was the ceiling with a dull background.
‘The body… I think it’s okay.’
I didn’t feel dizzy or nauseous. All of his hands and feet were attached properly and he moved as expected.
Only then did I sit up.
I was standing in a narrow room, and when I came to my senses, I was swallowed by a bright light and found myself in a place that looked like a newlywed couple’s bedroom, colored in very dull colors.
“Mr. Smith!!”
The voice of a familiar girl who had been calling my name earlier called me again. She turned her head in the direction she came from when she heard the sound.
“Ah, Mr. Smith!!”
“…”
A small girl lying on a gloomy-looking bed covered in black frills, looking at me with her head raised with difficulty.
“S-Mr. Smith! It’s me! I!!”
“Kalm… ?”
“That’s right!! “As expected of you, Smith!!”
When I called his name, Kalm looked touched and was happy.
I stood up from her seat, observing her joy closely.
Before parting ways, Kalm’s appearance was a vague imitation of Ardella. Even though she used the power she received from the god Petmira, her hair, which should have been pure white, ended up being gray and her face and body looked young, as if she was trying to copy Ardella from her girlhood. This was very strong.
But now Kalm, lying on the bed, had the appearance of a playful-looking girl with her light purple hair flowing long.
“Is that what it really looks like?”
“Yes? Ah yes. “This is my real face.”
“I see.”
My gaze naturally turned to her breasts. Then Kalm spoke urgently to me with a puzzled look on her face.
“Ah, I’m still growing!! “It can get bigger!!”
“… “I didn’t say anything.”
“Uh, uh…”
Kalm’s face turned red as if it was about to explode.
I asked her, taking one more look at her cute breasts that barely fit in the palm of her hand.
“But why are you doing this?”
Kalm is currently lying in bed. Her limbs were bound by her strange chain handcuffs.
“… Ah!!”
At my question, Kalm opened her eyes wide as if someone had suddenly remembered something about her, and she turned to me again with her urgent face and spoke.
“S-Mr. Smith!! First of all, please help me!!”
I asked Kalm, who was struggling in handcuffs.
“In situations like this, shouldn’t I usually be the bad guy?”
“… Yes?”
Kalm blinked his eyes in embarrassment.
“No. What is it. It’s my first time in a situation like this, so I’m a little embarrassed, but usually when I’m tied up like that, I’m the bad guy and I’m going to force myself to fuck you. Well, shouldn’t this be the flow…? …”
“Ah… Ah… !!”
Kalm let out a loud exclamation as if he had finally realized my answer.
“Right? “I’m right-“
“It’s not a situational drama?!”
Calm is gone! I screamed.
I couldn’t help but be taken aback because I could see the urgency on her face for it to be a joke.
A bedroom painted in strangely dull colors.
Kalm is tied to a bed with some sort of pervert taste.
Me, wearing only a white robe.
‘This is not a situational comedy… ?’
I asked Kalm again, who was breathing heavily.
“Therefore.”
“Yes!!”
“This is the situation right now.”
“It means it’s real!!”
“… Really?”
“Really!!”
“Hmm…”
I nodded under Kalm’s intense gaze.
‘Handcuffs… ‘It’s okay.’
I’ll definitely have to try it out later.
