Chapter 685 – Ep.683 Tullius Empire
I roughly threw Roan, who had fallen asleep due to the aftereffects of the ‘purification ritual’, into the break room and returned to the office.
“Is it okay if I don’t sleep any more?”
“It’s okay.”
As I sat down on the sofa, Sis naturally sat down next to me.
“Keep your coat on? “Isn’t that a problem?”
“It wasn’t a bad texture.”
“Well, I just don’t like the color a little. First of all, it was made by the imperial family, right? “It can’t be cheap.”
Surprisingly, Sis liked my coat and sat on my thigh.
“Because the purification ceremony was completed successfully. “Can we now hear the interpretation?”
“Compared to the effort put in, it was really nothing special. To be honest, when the analysis was finished, the content was so monotonous that I even began to suspect that you had left something out. Actually you.”
Sis pressed his finger on my chest.
“There are surprisingly many loose ends.”
“I have no excuse for what I have done in the past, but… “Did you really write it down this time without leaving anything out?”
“I don’t have the means to go down yet, so I’ll check the truth later.”
Sis stopped pressing his chest and let out a short breath, resting his head comfortably on my shoulder.
“Originally, I was going to go to the mansion on foot, but my body is not very durable, so I stayed here.”
“This can be happen. “If you think about it, it’s probably a lot of my fault.”
“… “It was nothing special, but I don’t think the content itself can be taken lightly.”
Sissy tried to get to the point right after saying she couldn’t come to the mansion, so I tilted my head, but kept my mouth shut and focused on what Sissy said.
“First of all, this is what has been interpreted.”
【Take away all faith.】
【Reject all gods.】
“It was like this.”
The Sith, who spoke through his divinity rather than his mouth, slightly turned his head to look at me.
He lowered his head towards Sith, who was looking at him, and pressed his lips to his eyebrows.
‘Line. So, I don’t think it’s much different from the message my father-in-law showed me from World Tree.’
No, no.
At that time, I was closer to the idea that I should become a god, but when I listened to Sith’s interpretation, the hurdle was lowered to the point where I could do it even if I didn’t necessarily become a god.
【It is exactly as you said. Since the goal is to steal it, it can be easily solved by using the support ability, Create Relic, rather than absorbing it.】
‘Yes? But what about denying God?
【The content may vary depending on how you perceive it, but if you relate it to the first content, it can be interpreted as instilling disbelief in God among the natives here.】
‘I think that might be a bit difficult.’
I thought it was actually impossible to deny a faith that had been passed down for a long time unless something really big happened.
“Ugh boop.”
I guess it felt a little uncomfortable as I kept kissing and nuzzling my eyebrows.
Sis pushed my chin away and looked up at me with her pretty eyes.
【Employee Seo Min-su. Instead of trying to eat only what I throw at you, why don’t you at least try to find something to eat yourself?】
‘… ‘Sis, you made me like this and now you’re here?’
“Well, that is!!”
“… ?”
That Sith raised his voice.
Even now, Sith’s face was turning red little by little.
‘What~ Sis, you too are ashamed of your dark history──’
Wow!!
“Huh… ?!”
Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck in front of his eyes as a merciless hand squeezed his lower body.
Only after I had expelled all the air in my lungs and was struggling for breath until I was completely crushed did Sis let go of my lower body.
“Si, Sis… ? Well, how about breaking my head? I don’t think this place is real… Huh?”
“If my already bad head gets worse, my workload will only increase, so why do you think I would do something like that?”
“… That’s what it means. And no matter how true it is, if you say it so confidently, the listener will be hurt?”
“It’s telling you to take it. “In the first place, you forget everything when you wake up after one day in bed.”
“… “I’m sorry.”
Weird.
Cernax and Sith were clearly in a good mood just a little while ago, but why did it suddenly become like this?
“As soon as you don’t know that, you’re already out.”
Sis gently slapped the hand that reached out to touch his chest! And hit him.
I placed my chin on the top of Sis’ head with a sullen expression.
‘It was something I had been thinking about for a long time, but I became convinced after hearing your story just now.’
One question I have had since the day I found out why I came here.
‘What happens if I complete the request, but the clients are unable to pay the balance?’
【You… ?】
It was a pure tone, not much different from usual, but I could clearly tell. Sith is quite surprised right now.
The problem is that it just hurt my heart a little.
It’s proof that I thought I was that stupid.
‘Taking away divinity means literally taking it away, so it is natural for divinity to decrease.’
The second phrase, to deny God, also had the same purpose as the first.
People called gods gain divine power through someone’s faith, so making people distrust God is no different from taking away divinity from those people.
That’s it.
‘Complete the request, but before that, empty out their wallets──’
“Wow… ?”
Sis cupped my cheeks in her hands and began to touch my face and hair with her soft, warm hands.
“What’s the matter?”
“… “I’m checking to see if I was brainwashed while recovering my computing power.”
“Hey.”
“There is no way employee Seo Min-soo could think this intelligently. It’s clear that he was brainwashed… Cellar.”
I hugged Sis’ waist and placed my lips on her moist lips.
“The joke ends there.”
“… “It was a serious verification process.”
“That just hurts my heart.”
I lowered her to her floor, pressing my lips to her forehead with the added pinch of a pout from her usual expressionless face. And she gently brushed down her water-colored hair.
‘And when you said that the content wouldn’t be light, you did it with Winter in mind, right? Thank you.’
“…”
Sis, who had been quietly receiving my touch, slowly raised her head and looked up at me once again, moving her lips, which had become even more moist due to my touch.
“Aren’t you really brainwashed?”
“No. No. Do you not trust her husband that much?”
“I want to tell you that it is your fault for not giving me trust… ?!”
I hugged the still sullen Sis.
“Okay. I’m sorry. So, please go back to the mansion for today.”
“… All right.”
“Kind.”
I held Sis, whose face was a little redder, and walked towards Marviel.
**
“Aaaaah!! Le, leviel!!”
“Let go!!”
I was holding onto Leviel’s waist as he walked towards the door with great strides. Leviel continues to advance, dragging me like nothing.
“You promised not to get angry, right?!”
“You’re not angry!!”
Anyone can see that the fever has reached the top of his head and he looks like he is on the verge of exploding, or rather has already exploded.
In the end, as a last resort, I stepped on my own foot.
“Puhup!!”
He was thrown face-first onto the floor.
“Smith?!”
Although he was angry, Leviel, who was my number one priority, turned around and came towards me, who was lying face down, and started examining my body. Then I quickly stretched out my arms and hugged her tightly.
“S-smith? “Is this okay?”
“It’s not okay. “I’ll stay like this for a while until I feel better.”
“… “You fooled me.”
“I didn’t just have a nosebleed. “It really hurts.”
“… I get it.”
I could hear her heart rate beating fast from her back against her chest, but it didn’t take long for me to feel her regaining her composure.
‘… It was really dangerous.’
I delivered the news about Winter to Marviel, and sent both Sith and Marvius to the mansion through Adrian, with the blessing of Marviel, who was very happy as if it were his first job.
Then, he went straight back to the knights’ building and tied Roan’s still stretched hands and feet properly, and then visited Leviel this time.
To inform you of the kidnapping attempt against me and the fact that vice-captain Roan was actually kidnapped and brainwashed.
And, expecting that Le Viel’s eyes would roll over, I made all kinds of promises before telling her, but as you saw a moment ago, I was only able to hold on to Le Viel’s feet at the cost of my own body.
“I am the type of person who must repay what has been done to me. So, first, please listen to my story a little longer.”
“… “Didn’t you say you understood?”
“A little while ago, you made all kinds of promises and then tried to leave, saying you would overthrow the system.”
“Say that!! “How can I bear it when my husband was almost kidnapped by those bastards?!”
Leviel’s heart, which had barely calmed down, began to beat rapidly again.
I kissed her feverish neck and earlobe several times and whispered my love to her.
“… Okay, stop. Because I, I, I didn’t do well.”
And Leviel was not immune to these sweet words.
“No. You got angry for me, right? Happy.”
“…”
As her body temperature was getting hotter, I thought something big would happen if I teased her further, so I quickly got to the point.
“I too would like to catch the tail right now, but His Majesty the Emperor said something rather meaningful.”
“… “You mean your mother?”
“Yes. “He asked me if he really thought he was leaving the Nuit Church and other cults alone because they couldn’t catch them.”
“…”
Le Viel closed her mouth for a moment, and only after she had caught her breath did she open her mouth again.
“I’ll ask my mother about that again.”
“Yes. Also, we are interrogating the stooge captured in the temple, so we may be able to obtain some useful information, so please be patient for now.”
“I get it…”
“Thank you again. “For always listening to me.”
“Uhm…”
I thought as I kissed the shy Leviel several more times.
‘I guess I’ll have to postpone the winter thing a little longer.’
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Le Viel, but unlike Marvius, Le Viel had a connection to her emperor, and although she felt sorry for her, she was honestly a little reluctant to reveal Winter’s existence.
Of course, now that she has announced that she is pregnant, it will be impossible for her to hide it forever, so she will announce it sooner or later, but at least it is not today.
“Then Leviel?”
“… Huh.”
Le Viel, who had completely melted into her affectionate kiss, responded in a calmer voice.
“I need to stop by the Temple of Opulence. Can I borrow Lord Melbourne?”
“… Huh. “Take him.”
“Thank you.”
I picked up Le Viel, who had completely melted, and put her down on her bed. I quickly left the bedroom before she came to her senses.
