Chapter 412: Chapter 543 – The Reason - 1
"Bridget. Take the guests to their rooms."
"All right."
As soon as I empty the car, I pick up her waist.
As if remembering something belatedly, Ibriel looked back at me and Erin and said.
"The two of you to my old bedroom."
"Yeah."
Room with Erin?
Erin only blinked her eyes, but she said nothing.
Such a great opportunity!
I grabbed the saintess' hand and accepted it as if I had waited.
"Thank you for your consideration. Erin is also good."
"…"
After Ivriel smiled and left, Erin whispered close to my arms so Brigitt couldn't hear.
"Ah, I should ask for a room to share. Are you really going to sleep with me? I'm the hero's wife…!"
"I know even if you don't tell me. But, it's too suspicious to ask for a separate room after just talking about it."
"…That's it, but."
"You agreed with my lie. Now you're in the same boat."
"It's too much… I wonder if I can sleep properly…"
Of course, don't sleep.
But I speak more confidently than anyone else.
"Erin, is the operation a joke? Thanks to this performance, Ivriel will rob Shriel right away."
"…"
"Even if you could reunite with the hero tomorrow with a smile, would you do that to me?"
"Still… Sleeping together…"
"Okay. Quit it. Brigitte!"
Rather, when I called out to Brigitte in a loud voice, Erin urgently grabbed my forearm and stopped it.
"Yes, what are you doing?"
"The room…"
"Ah!! Go, I like the same room! Please tell my wife thank you!"
"Originally, the room was shared by the wife and her husband, so you will like it because it is well soundproofed and comfortable."
"…Ahaha, thank you."
Erin smiled awkwardly.
If you want to meet the hero you love, you have to do as I say.
Did the saintess go along with the shameless lie for nothing?
I am anxious that if I deviate from the flow I have laid out, I will never be able to see them again.
I dug into that psychology well.
Erin's priorities are clear.
Meeting the hero again is the first priority, followed by order and honor.
Of course, no matter how lenient the saintess is, if you attack her in the dark, she will disappear without leaving a trace of her with her specialty, dimensional magic…
Drop it slowly!
Already, things that were unimaginable at the time of her first meeting are becoming reality one after another.
When the day is over, she is going to sleep with the saint,
No one knew what would happen that day.
What I'm going to do…
To soothe her fidgets and encourage her to read herself that she has no choice but to sleep in the same room today.
"I'll guide you to your room. This way…"
We follow Brigitte into the Snow White Castle.
The inside of the castle was just as gorgeous as it looked from the outside. The thought of sleeping in a place like this today makes my heart flutter.
Everyone didn't say anything, but they looked very satisfied.
Only one.
Except for Erin, who was pensive when told she had to share a room with me.
"Erin."
"Yeah…?"
"I'm thinking of calling everyone into my room and using it as a conference room. There's something to be said about the Advent ceremony…"
"…"
"Calm down. It's not a safe place."
"Sun…"
I'm serious now
Erin is also influenced by me and is very nervous.
Yes, yes
Let's put aside the fact that we share the same room, the fact that the hero would be stunned if he found out.
Until the day is over and the situation is right in front of you.
I'm thinking of throwing another topic that Erin can focus on.
Of course… Either way is sincere.
The elven strategy map, and the saint's corruption guide.
It only matters who is in front of me right now.
After being shown to her room by her Brigitte and sending her away,
Everyone gathered in my room and sat down.
The bed is as expected.
Unless the couple has a reason to use separate beds, this is usually natural.
When the ears of the elves disappeared, Riune spoke her mind.
"After Advent, there's no use in arguing anyway, so I suspect you're lying."
"It didn't even look like a malicious lie. Because…"
I glanced at Erin.
"It's true that Erin and I met Estelle and even talked about it."
"I also met him through the experience of being possessed… But I didn't feel the will to push me away."
"Even though Erin passed out defenselessly."
"…I am against believing in transcendentalists."
Seol-ah said, rarely showing hostility.
Transcendent.
Even though she just changed from a goddess to a transcendental person, I think the nuance is quite different.
Empire,
Even the emperor, Shihyeon, and his daughters all regard the Transcendentalists as enemies.
This is because there is a thousand-year history of being manipulated by transcendentalists.
"Can you tell me more?"
Seol-ah nodded her head.
"As the elves say, transcendental beings are not absolute and divine beings. Like humans, they are fickle and emotional."
Estelle thought she was better,
Seol-ah seemed to recognize her as her complete enemy.
"Then Seol-ah opposes the Advent ceremony itself?"
"Yeah, it's difficult for transcendental beings to directly interfere if we don't make a link from this side…"
"Even in the transcendent character 'X', there was a medium called a shaman."
"The Advent Ritual is a manifestation that more directly helps the transcendental person act alone. You never know what they'll do suddenly."
"…"
Did Shihyeon-hyung know that things would turn out like this?
It's strange to think that I might be in a position to help Advent.
"Is Jelly's right to speak guaranteed?"
Rirke raised his hand.
"Of course, tell me. Our jelly."
"I think it's okay to pretend to cooperate and get what you want."
"You think the same as me."
"Twelfth place in the zodiac hierarchy~~ A strong elf who knows the situation here is helping us."
"If we find a hero, we'll be on Erinn's side, so can't we choose our own later?"
I groped under the table and rummaged through the drawers.
Isn't there such a thing as a bugger?
I must have seen too many movies.
"What about Erin?"
"I believe in the Goddess. Rather than using it, I think what if we really help Advent."
"We who fought together against Transcendent X?"
"Just as people have personalities, I believe that there are transcendental beings who are beneficial to the world. I know. Where does the power of this planet come from…"
In a way, Erin also had a similarity to the elf.
Except for the pretty ones.
「Divine Power」
The powers of saints and elves share the same roots.
The power that comes from Estelle, the goddess of stars and healing.
Your perception may be different from ours.
Trust comes from familiarity.
If we could descend Hwanung in our country.
As if there is a vague belief that at least he will not do anything that will harm our country.
As long as the elf wants to call Estelle,
And as long as you think Estelle was stolen from me.
Conflict with the elves was also an unavoidable problem.
In this case, one for, two neutral, two against… Is it.
In any case, the final decision rests with me.
I came to this situation because my decision played a big role.
Shall we go back and listen to Woohyo's opinion?
Evelyn is out now too…
As I remained silent, Liune spoke to Erinn.
"But, shouldn't we put the safety of everyone here and my husband first?"
"I asked for help to find the hero, but if I get help and don't keep my promise… Then there will be a really big fight."
"I guess so."
By promising to cooperate with the peaceful Advent ceremony anyway,
Because you made an alliance with Ibriel.
"After finding the hero, I want to conduct the Advent ceremony and act as a pressure stone so that the elves don't invade other worlds…"
"I might live as a vessel for a goddess for several years, even decades at the longest."
"But… Somehow it felt like fate to come here… And it would be nice if I could prevent more victims from appearing."
"…"
Everyone seemed at a loss for words.
Of course, it's so saintly, there's no room for me to intervene.
It is a way of thinking that ordinary people cannot understand.
He said he would directly purify the elves' savage culture of hunting males and killing them when they're done.
But…
The way I see it, the culture of the elves is not evil.
Elves do that because they resemble humans.
Who really cares and cares about what they exploit?
We also help livestock end their lives happily, but I think that is hypocrisy to ease the guilt of conscience.
It's better than nothing, but it's not an act of true love,
Personally, there were times when I thought everyone in the world was caught up in such hypocrisy.
By the way…
The saintess is sincere.
She would sacrifice herself to make things right,
What an arrogant thought.
It is an old belief.
"If you've been doing that for a thousand years, isn't it about time you quit?"
"…Sun…"
"Our goals are twofold. To make sure the elves can't touch us again, and the last collapser… To neutralize the first number."
"Then, even more so, I will borrow the power of the goddess that dwells in my body so that the elves do not invade the empire. The hero will be by my side, so I will not attack the empire."
"There is a contradiction in your claim."
At first glance, Erin's argument seems plausible.
But.
Thousand years old.
There is a contradiction that a party of warriors with old beliefs cannot overcome.
"A contradiction…?"
"Like you said, it's pitiful for elves to invade other worlds and make victims, so if you lead them on the right path, what will happen after that is over?"
"That's right, everyone cares for each other, and a happy, ideal future…"
"Would you like to come? Are there still people from other worlds passing through the gate who are sacrificed in real time in the empire?"
"…"
"You can't stand them because they are pitiful. Even the hero instigated the people to liberate the Gate and strengthened them with their own skills to throw themselves into battle where they might die."
"Never again… That kind of thing…"
"You're saying that won't happen again? What we're going to encounter in a few decades might be a warrior with high elves as soldiers."
"…"
"Are you sure that the hero won't involve the elves in the cause of liberating the Gate?"
A high elf reinforced with a hero's skill, I don't even want to imagine.
When such a day comes, it is certain that the forces that cause the end will collide with the forces that bring the end, and only a vast band of light will remain on the planet we used to live on.
No…
Mutually Assured Destruction is rather rare.
Put in a situation where you can neither do this nor that, a structure in which only victims will be in the middle may be completed.
"I can't be sure."
"If you said you could bet, I would have squeezed you."
"Yes, my logic is full of holes. I admit it…"
"I'm not flawless. But I'm sure I want it. I hate a future where I can't suck honey!"
Riune and Rirke look at me and smile softly.
I was a little embarrassed.
"But… That's a calculation. There are limits to the calculations that people make with their heads.
Always trying to go the right way is an important attitude for us living now…"
"Yes, I am too."
"…Sun?"
"Originally, we were also thinking of fighting you guys. Almost 99% of them thought that we would have to fight and kill them to see the end."
Facing Seol-ah, she also nodded lightly.
"Like Taeyang said, I thought it would be as fierce a fight as last time."
"We thought you guys were negotiating with the elves a long time ago."
"We were being chased too…"
"That's why I didn't hurt you who were left alone. Isn't this also my effort to be right?"
"…"
"You called me friend, and I responded to that friendship."
"…Yes. I was in a really difficult situation, and I am grateful to Taeyang."
"Then you must help me first. The hero must completely give up the Empire's attack."
"But I can't guarantee that either…"
"No, I can assure you."
I put my hand on Erin's head.
"Take a moment to experience it."
