[The target ‘Liru Garda’s favorability skyrockets from ‘Interest Level 3’ to ‘Trust Level 1’! ]
[ Receivable rewards have been added! ]
< System Message >
[ Confirm the lifting of the crisis situation. ]
[The title ‘Liberty’ has been unlocked! ]
okay. I understand everything.
I cannot sympathize with the last word that came to mind: lifting the crisis.
I reflexively check to see Elnor standing in the very center of the stage looking at me.
There’s no way they didn’t hear what I said to Liru.
This is a fact that can be seen just by looking at me and Liru back and forth with expressions of disbelief.
[Use ‘Navigate’. ]
[Load the target information. ]
[ A 24-hour cooldown applies to the same target. ]
[Elnor Elinalise La Tristan]
[ Features: Gray Devil’s Vessel (2 pieces), Princess Tristan ]
[ Status: Intensely pondering the meaning of ‘like’ by Dowd Campbell. ]
The good news is that it doesn’t look like it’s going to fly in and kill me as soon as it hears those words.
It means buying time. It’s time to improvise and somehow deal with the situation.
“…You, you, what on earth are you talking about-”
Liru, who was in my arms, blurted out those words with a blush rising to the tips of her ears.
It looks like he can’t believe what he just heard.
I agree. If I were sane, I would never have said something like that.
Even more so in front of Elnor.
[My head is turning~ Dowd Campbell’s head is turning~]
“…”
[How will I survive this time? I’m already curious.]
Have you ever seen a truly useless person in the world?
Are you saying something like that when a person is in danger of dying?
[Why don’t you just go ahead and attack them fairly? Given my situation, wouldn’t it be better to ask for some cooperation?]
no. Then tell me how many times I will die.
The moment the existence of the devil is announced to the vessels, there is a high possibility that the scenario, which is already so twisted, will go straight into the abyss.
Sooner or later, it will become intertwined with Feynol, but then it will become intertwined with the Heresy Inquisition, making the event even more destructive. Beyond the fact that we are already suffering because of the relationship between demons, a mess that is completely impossible to proceed will begin.
Of course, even so, I can’t just sit here and die.
I search my head.
The game setting, Elnor’s current state, and the Gray Demon’s alignment, everything.
Concentration is accelerated to the point where the entire surrounding environment feels slow, as if the swordsman’s concentration skill is turned on.
[No, this time it’s really a one-shot. Is there a hole somewhere to escape?]
In that situation, Caliban spoke in a humorous voice.
[Last time, I ended up hitting my lips, so what are you going to do to calm me down this time? ]
“…”
[If I do that again, I don’t think they will listen this time because the issue is too big.]
To agree.
But, as you said, attacking directly is too much-
“…”
wait for a sec.
Hit it directly?
That, maybe.
‘Maybe it’s possible?’
Now that I think about it, I feel dizzy.
Sure enough, this works.
[…For something like that, your expression doesn’t look bright at all?]
Even if it works, it doesn’t benefit me.
Honestly, I don’t even want to do that…!
However, a scene was unfolding before my eyes that would make it unnecessary to worry about such things.
Because Elnor, who was in the center of the stage, was ‘launched’ in this direction a month later.
At this point, the physical ability is beyond the level of good and is at the level of a talented person just walking around.
“…What do you mean, Daoud?”
Those red eyes are burning.
“Did you say you like it? What does that mean-”
“…It means exactly what you think.”
I answer as I feel sweat forming in my palms.
“…I like Liru.”
As soon as I heard that.
At the same time that Liru opened his mouth again, sparks flew from Elnor’s eyes.
But before his mouth opens again, he continues to say something else.
“You’re the perfect person to have as a concubine, aren’t you?”
“…”
“…”
Elnor and Liru’s expressions became blank at the same time.
●
Several minutes of hellish silence passed.
Elnor looked at me and Liru in turns, as if he didn’t know what to say.
“…Concubine?”
Seeing that he was talking incoherently and mumbling, he seemed quite embarrassed.
I guess I never imagined I would hear something like this right in front of me.
Against Elnor, I mention one of the settings in the game that I know.
“Under imperial law, bigamy is legally encouraged for all nobles who rise to the rank of earl or higher.”
Due to this influence, there were often cases in the game where Elijah walked around with several men.
High-ranking nobles are a walking mass of influence just by their very existence. Since it can act as a hub where numerous connections are made using the institutional device of marriage, the empire also tends to encourage it to a certain extent.
However, as can be seen from the fact that it is encouraged with that intention.
Unlike ‘jeongsil’, ‘concubines’ tend to have very clear ‘purposes’.
There is an absolute gap that separates the wife I truly care about from the other women who are bound by marriage out of necessity.
“…After marrying you, I plan to take Liru as my concubine.”
Normally, if you say something like this, most of the noble women of the empire will understand and give in. Because under imperial law, there is such a significant ‘difference in treatment’ between a confidant and a concubine.
“…Do you think that’s an excuse now?”
Of course, still.
If you are a demon equipped with the obsession attribute by default, there is a high possibility that you will not even hear such words.
Even though this method exists, there is a reason why I have not used it on Yuria.
“sure.”
but.
The turning point is here.
Ultimately, the devil’s obsession comes from the desire to ‘monopolize’ that person. Even the gray devil, who is almost always friendly to me, can’t yield that much.
So, just as I received the ring Elnor held out.
All you have to do is give them ‘evidence’ that can truly quell such desires.
A proof that Elnor is the most precious person to me that others cannot have.
“…”
really.
I didn’t want to do this much.
I close my eyes tightly.
I speak out with the feeling of pulling a trigger.
“Liru takes very good care of children.”
Elnor, who was trying to protest, froze.
Then, his face became distorted.
He looks like he’s not sure what he just heard.
“…kid?”
“yes.”
Even though I feel like all my internal organs are being twisted, I still keep my face smiling and continue talking.
“You and my child.”
Elnor’s face heated up as if it was going to explode.
He even takes a step back as if he was hit by something.
“Ah, ah, ah, child…?”
“yes.”
“Da, da, Daoud, what are you talking about now, I mean-”
“What is my plan?”
The sound of Caliban laughing and rolling around inside the amulet can be heard up to here. You can almost hear the faint sound of a dying person, as if they are completely suffocated and have difficulty breathing.
However, despite this, my face still maintains a smile as I continue speaking.
“I’m going to have a child with you soon, Elnor.”
“…”
“As the head of the clan, Liru has experience taking very good care of children. “It will be a great help in childcare-”
“S-stop. stop!”
Elnor hurriedly interrupted me.
He covered his face with both hands, his face burning to the tips of his ears. I’m also very short of breath.
“Are you really crazy to say something like this in the presence of other people?”
“…”
I know.
Even the title of libertarian is not working, and I feel miserable saying this with a sober mind.
However, the effect is certain. Even Elnor, who was full of thoughts of getting angry, couldn’t come to her senses about the topic just now.
but.
Even if Elnor sinks, there is a lot of potential for problems to arise on the ‘other side’.
“…”
I glance at Liru’s expression.
Sure enough, his expression turns cold.
You can even observe with the naked eye a blue aura slowly rising near the body.
okay. I know.
If a man had just confessed to me that he liked me, and was talking about how he was going to make me his concubine right in front of my eyes, I would be so angry that my tendons would snap.
So, what I’m saying is that we need to take some additional action.
“…”
I take a deep breath and tap the amulet with my fingers a few times.
This is possible because they are people who can read a sentence in their head without having to say it.
Balcasus. please.
I’m sorry for waking you up after such a long time and making you do something like this…!
[…You, too, are living a truly eventful life.]
At the same time that a voice full of pity flowed from the Soul Linker, Liru’s eyes widened.
Even though Elnor is capable of detecting all kinds of vibes due to her basic specs being crazy, she cannot detect even the slightest grab using ‘Golden Art’.
And thanks to that, Liru, who was about to say something, looked embarrassed.
Because you will feel the feeling of ‘letters’ being engraved on your skin.
The text is drawn on that person’s skin with the same pressure as rubbing your finger.
With that.
Engrave a ‘word’ that will calm this person down.
This is the limit of my magic skills, which only have a few strokes.
[Cooperation. If you don’t, you die. help me.]
This level of poor sentences.
This means that if you don’t cooperate with me here, we will both die.
Fortunately, Liru seemed to have somehow understood it, and his eyes widened.
“Aie, Bo, a concubine for childcare…”
Elnor muttered those words in disbelief.
He looks at me and Liru alternately with his face as if it’s about to explode.
“Let’s talk about this again later!”
With those words, Elnor left the place.
Once it leaves a crater, it disappears at such a speed that an afterimage is visible.
It looks like some kind of cartoon production.
“…”
okay.
I survived this time too.
But, at what price did you survive…?
[What is it? You’re going to be squeezed until you become a father soon. Congratulations, hey. I’m jealous. It’s amazing.]
“…”
Noisy.
[By the way, what are you going to do with that young lady named Yuria?]
What?
[If they hear that I’m taking her as a concubine, they won’t stay quiet, right? The intensity of her obsession is not dozens of times worse than that of the princess-]
‘…Caliban.’
Answer with a detached smile.
‘Let’s go and do something about it then.’
[…]
‘Even if you worry now, you won’t get an answer, so wouldn’t it be better to look at the situation and talk about it then?’
[You’ve been doing this just now, and now there’s nothing left to do but get squeezed out there, right?]
“…”
[It’s amazing, it’s amazing. By that time, I already know how many more things will be ruined-]
He releases the amulet from his hand and throws it on the floor.
I felt sorry for Balcasus.
To Balcasus.
