Chapter 389 – For a Surprisingly Happy Ending (2)
“I’m glad you arrived safely.”
They looked a bit tired, but I was relieved to see everyone looking healthy without any major injuries.
To be honest, the chances of anything happening with my girls’ skills are slim, but I couldn’t help but worry.
“Everyone will be tired, so wash up first and eat.”
After greeting, my sister-in-law took the party and headed to the large public bath, and I went for a short walk to pass the time.
Let’s watch the night sky with how much blizzard…
“Hey.”
“…Bianca?”
“Ah… Sir… I’ve been looking for you for a long time. What a walk in this weather.”
Bianca came towards me, rubbing her hands as if they were cold.
“…Can I talk to you for a second?”
Instead of answering, I spread her arms, and Bianca, who swung around like a squirrel on her prey, rushed into her arms.
“How is it? Are you warm?”
“…Huh. It’s warm.”
In her arms, Bianca rubbed her cheeks, and I hugged her until she was satisfied.
“So what did you want to talk about?”
“…Uhm. I just… Want to know what I should do.”
After thinking about Bianca’s question for a while, I slowly brought her up.
“Sorry… I don’t know.”
It wasn’t that there wasn’t a plan.
But the world has changed too much from what I knew to follow the plan.
When I went to meet the final boss in the first playthrough, there were no tentacles in the cave, and the ‘final boss’ was strong, but it didn’t show hopeless strength like it does now.
In this situation, going with a plan based on past information will only add to the confusion.
“Then it’s not a role that I must do something, right?”
“Yes, I think it would be better for each of us to act according to our own judgment.”
“Okay? Good luck then. I can die in peace.”
“…Bianca?”
As I called her name in a low voice at the words I couldn’t hear, Bianca looked up at me and let out her sigh.
“I know, I know. Don’t be so angry Eugene… Do you want me to die? But if anyone must die, it’s me.”
Bianca tried to speak calmly.
I hate being sick.
It’s scary to die.
But there was something else that scared me more than that.
When dealing with the ‘spreading nightmare’ in the underground waterway, what Bianca recalled was not the fear of death, but the fear of losing her Eugene.
What’s more, this time, isn’t he a dangerous guy that can’t even be compared to ‘The Spreading Nightmare’?
I couldn’t guarantee that everyone would survive.
“I hate to admit it, but it’s true that, objectively, I’m the least useful…”
If someone other than me survives, Eugene’s chances of surviving increase.
Well, no matter how many excuses I make, I still don’t want to die…
Still, if it’s for the man you love, you can understand and die in your own way.
“Bianca.”
“Why do you keep burning…”
I hugged Bianca tightly so she couldn’t escape.
“…Please don’t die. Rather than being prepared to sacrifice her life gracefully, please live an ugly life.”
I didn’t want to take anyone with me.
But…
I am weak.
No matter how strong he became, it couldn’t even compare to the strength he felt inside the door.
Without everyone’s help, I might collapse without even reaching the ‘final boss’.
“…No matter how painful and painful it is, please live. Please. “
“Eugene… It might be hard for everyone to survive this time. No, rather, it is more likely.”
It was a vague feeling at first, but it felt clear after arriving at Calliope’s castle.
That something huge was wriggling on the other side of that barrier.
“…So, choosing a scapegoat now will do less damage.”
“No. I’m not going to fix it. So don’t give up until the end. Please struggle until the end of the last one. That is the only favor I ask of Bianca.”
“…”
After her long silence, Bianca slipped out of her arms and punched her in the chest with her fist.
“…Ha. I wanted to say something more… Looking at her face, I can’t say anything… Okay. I will do my best to struggle.”
“…Thank you. Bianca.”
“Heh… Hey, it’s over. Stop eavesdropping and come out.”
A white cow emerged from behind her post, which Bianca pointed to with the tip of her chin.
“…How did you know? I thought I had completely killed the girl’s presence, but…”
“Persimmon. I’m in a rush these days. And are you eavesdropping after you all promised not to disturb?”
“I had no intention of interfering. Only…”
“Well, I’m afraid I might break my promise and attack Yujin.”
“…”
“Wow… I guess you really knew that. There is no such thing as faith haha… That’s it I’m going because I’ve said everything.”
Swish-
At that moment, Bianca suddenly lifts her heel and kisses her on the cheek.
“This is the price that Baeksoso stole. So Baek So-so, don’t kiss Yu-jin.”
Bianca, twisting the corners of her mouth at her white cow, disappeared into the darkness.
“…Bianca is really free-spirited.”
“That’s Bianca’s charm.”
“…Hmm… Mr. West.”
Baek Suso, who casually crossed her arms around mine, raised her eyes and said.
“Since the girl will spend a hundred years by her side, she cannot promise that she will be the first to die like Bianca… So…”
Seeing the direction Bianca had disappeared, Baek So-so gave a small smile.
“I will help that ugly thing not die. She said that Bianca would die first. If she doesn’t kill Bianca, she won’t kill anyone.”
“…Thank you.”
“There is no need to thank the girl. Wouldn’t it be the duty of a true wife to take care of her concubine? So don’t worry about anything and move forward. The girl will protect your back.”
The words of Baek So-so encouraging me contained the meaning that I should not hesitate.
A moment of hesitation could bring death to me.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Whoops. Of course, the girl believes in the West. No matter what adversity… He will definitely come to the girl’s side in the end.”
Bai Suso, who spoke in a soft voice and licked her red lips, let out a sigh.
“Haa.. Even the girl wants to kiss Seobangnim before she leaves, but she has to keep her promise.”
“What promise?”
“…A promise between women is coming. If you really want to hear it, I’ll tell you… But I think it’s better to leave it for later pleasure.”
“If it’s Soso, then so be it.”
“Whoops… Thank you. Well, West. Lilith is waiting for you in front of the Underground Goddess Statue.”
After those words, Soso, who had lightly bowed, left my side.
“…”
At this point, I can roughly guess what the promise is.
‘Am I going to have time to talk to each other without physical contact…’
Before the final fight, it seemed that he wanted to tell me a story accumulated in me.
So much—
As they followed Baeksoso’s words and went down to the basement, Lilith was seen kneeling in front of a statue of her Goddess, offering her prayers with her eyes closed.
“Ah! Teacher!”
Moments later, Lilith, having finished her prayers, found me and smiled.
“Ruler! Teacher! Please come to that release!”
As I approached, Lilith grabbed my head with both hands and pulled it toward my chest.
“Ugh… Sir… It’s cold.”
“Sorry, I was outside.”
Tight-
“No. I was talking about the mind, not the body… You are… Afraid.”
“…”
Afraid.
I am afraid of losing someone dear to me.
Even if a ‘happy ending’ has come to this world, if any one of them is lost…
“Whoops! If so, don’t worry! That Lilith has said it over and over again. Lilith will protect everyone! So I will definitely protect it! That’s that release! It is the role of a saintess!”
Lilith’s repeated words, without any basis, that she would just keep them, but at those words, unbelievable warmth filled her frozen heart with tension.
“Yes, Lilith. Please. Protect me.”
“Yes! Teacher! Just believe in that release! I will protect every one of them!”
Then, Lilith whispered softly as she pressed her face until their lips almost met.
“Then… Vivian is in the confessional!”
“…”
“Do not worry! In the confessional of the Goddess Church, the sound from the inside does not come out and the outside sound does not go inside! Then! I will go to that release!”
Lilith, smiling like an angel, climbs the stairs.
Kiik-
Waiting for Lilith to disappear completely, I opened the door to the confessional and went inside.
“Eugene…?”
I heard Vivian’s voice through the curtain.
“Yes, Vivian. It’s me.”
Vivian shouted as I tried to pull back the curtains to see her face.
“Yu…Yujin-nim!…Now…Wait a minute! Because there is none…Gwa…If it’s okay…Can you…Listen to my…Self-talk…Are you? It’s fine, but…”
“No. I will listen to Vivian talking to herself.”
“A..Thank you…That…But…If possible…If you…Put your…Hand…Into the…Bottom…Hole…I would…Be…Grateful.”
As I put my hand into the hole as I wished, Vivian’s hand overlapped.
“Yu…Yujin-nim’s…Hand…Is warm…”
“…”
“How…By chance…Yujin-nim…I…Have…A relationship…In which…We can…Hold hands…Without…Even…Still…Still…It still feels like yesterday when Eugene picked up an eraser from the seat next to me…”
“…”
“Ah!..Th..Sorry for the useless words…So…I…I…Wanted to…Thank you…Me…Something like…Accept… Thank you for…”
“…”
“Really… Really… Thank you… With a distorted castle… With a gloomy personality… With a dull body… There’s nothing special about it…”
I wanted to tell you it wasn’t so, but this is Vivian talking to herself.
He held back his words, thinking that if he spoke up now, Vivian might end up not hearing everything he wanted to say.
“Still…I was…So…Happy…To have…Yoojin… Who…Accepted…Everything…As it…Was…That’s why… I…Will continue to…Do my best…So that I can be with Yu…Yujin-nim!”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…Is it over?”
“Ah…Ah!…Yes…Four…That’s it.”
“Yes, Vivian. Then I will talk to myself.”
“Ah..Ah..Ah!..Yes..Four…!”
Chow-!
At that moment, I opened the curtains and looked at Vivian, whose eyes were stained red, and said.
“Thank you. Vivian. For always being by my side.”
“Huh!…Suddenly…Curtain…Curtain…Wait!!…Soon…Liana-sama. ..Will come!”
As if trying to hide her tomato-red face, Vivian jumped out of the confessional like a hand.
…And how much time passed.
Suddenly—!
I opened the door on my side, not the one Vivian had left, and Liana entered.
“Yujinah♬”
“Liana?”
It’s not to the point that it’s impossible for the two of them to come in… But the confession room is clearly for one person.
When Liana enters such a place, she has no choice but to naturally have many contact surfaces.
“Isn’t it narrow?”
“Fufufu ♪ Service. A chance to enjoy the body of the princess? Enjoy yourself!”
“Riana is my girl anyway, but isn’t she something I can always enjoy?”
Right after she finished her bath, Liana’s body smelled of flesh mixed with milk and honey.
“Hmm~. That’s right. You can enjoy it anytime. Ruler! So Eugene, how was the confession of the women who love you?”
“…Everyone is so thankful…Lovely…Sorry…Then Riana came to confess to me too?”
“Yeah ♪ But I’m sorry… But I can’t tell you many things like the other kids.”
“Why? Are you shy?”
It was a half-joking remark, but Liana’s eyes slowly shook her head, full of sincerity.
“No, my love for you grows so much every minute, every second, that I cannot express it in lengthy terms. Getting longer? So… I will tell you what I want to say the most.”
Liana’s body trembled as she let out a long sigh…
“Eugene Calliope, I love only you. Forever.”
How much love can be contained in that one word.
As I was chewing on the feelings that came from her trembling, Liana, who blushed, spoke to me.
“Ah… I’m ashamed to confess.”
“Even the shy Liana is cute.”
“Oh, thank you. Then let’s go back. Everyone will be waiting, right?”
I asked Riana, who was dragging me by the hand instead of making eye contact with her, perhaps to hide her shyness.
“Are you all waiting? Where?”
“Of course, Eugene’s room is somewhere.”
Only then did Riana meet her eyes again, and with her usual mischievous smile, she said.
“Aha…♬ My beloved master…? Why do you think we didn’t do anything in our free time?”
