Chapter 104
104 – Determination (2)
“Erina, Kayla. I want to have both of them by my side.”
There was no point in betraying the two and returning to the original world alone.
A future where we can never meet Erina and Kayla. I didn’t want any more.
If others listen to it, they might call it trash, but what can you do?
“Neither of you wants to break up.”
I’ve already kissed the two of them. I couldn’t turn back now, and I had no intention of going back.

Kayla was reliable. I had faith that no matter what choice I made, he would follow me.
But Erina was different. Aside from the power she possessed, her wariness of others was too strong.
Erina had to change. She had to let go of her obsession with me.
After defeating the demon king, she didn’t know what she would do.
However, I was able to predict it to some extent. I’m sure he’s plotting to get me alone.
No matter what you do. I had to block it and convince Erina.
“If Erina doesn’t listen to my persuasion.”
“…”
“I have to make them listen to me somehow.”
If she kicked her chance, I couldn’t wait any longer.
She had to make me listen to her, even if it meant hurting her.
Of course, Erina listening to my persuasion and reforming is the best picture.
It won’t be easy if you think about what has happened so far.
“I really don’t understand her… Why are you covering her up?”
“You are right. I was thinking about killing Erina too.”
When I first found out the truth that Erina was cheating on me, she somehow tried to leave her side.
As time passed and I realized that Erina had no intention of hurting me, she contemplated betraying her.
But after she found out Erina’s true feelings, she changed her mind.
“I have a different opinion now. I don’t want to kill Erina.”
Even if it’s not the main character that I know is the perfect sage.
I couldn’t leave him as a villain who hurt others. I decided to change her somehow.
At my words, the goddess lowered her head as if in despair. It will be difficult for her to accept on her part.
Giving a chance to Erina, who not only destroyed the world, but even tricked me.
It was a situation that no one could understand.
But Erina is a character I created. Because only I know her heart.
I decided to give her just one chance to repent of all these evil deeds.
“I’m sorry. I can’t kill Erina the way you wished.”
“…”
“But I promise. No matter what happens, I will definitely save you.”
The goddess lost her words for a long time. She couldn’t make eye contact with me, with a shocked expression on her face.
Unfortunately, the goddess had no choice. Eventually, the goddess she was struggling with raised her head and looked at me.
“I hate Erina. Her sincerity wants her to fall into her abyss.”
“…”
“I want you to kill Erina right away. Or, like me, they want to be imprisoned forever in an empty place.”
I couldn’t turn a blind eye to the goddess’s unfair heart. But her wish couldn’t come true.
If I were to face her right now, would I be able to win? It was impossible.
It was not easy to win even if not only me but Kayla and Celica all joined together.
More than anything, he didn’t want me to kill Erina.
“But if you decide to forgive Erina… I will follow.”
Inevitably, the goddess decided to respect my choice. Even though she hates Erina, she steps aside for me.
While the silence lasted for a moment, my heart was broken.
Between the goddess and Erina, I decided to take Erina’s side. She couldn’t grant her wishes.
Even so, I couldn’t let go of the goddess’ hand. It took the help of the goddess to make Erina her good child.
“I have a question for you. Are you fine…?”
The goddess did not open her mouth with a disappointed expression.
But you can’t ignore my words. I asked her with a sorry heart.
“Wouldn’t Erina and Kayla be able to go to the world I was in?”
The goddess raised her head with a startled expression.
If I go back to my original world, what will happen to my remaining friends?
If Erina goes to the original world with me. If only she went with her as well as Kyla.
Wouldn’t it be okay if you didn’t do this in the first place?
However, my expectations were met with ambiguous answers.
“I don’t know either.”
It didn’t sound like a lie. His voice trembled, as if he really didn’t know himself.
“Did you ever guess?”
“It is difficult to give a definitive answer. I don’t know much about the system either…”
Like the goddesses, Erina was an existence born of the power of the system.
What will happen if Erina escapes this world through the power of the system?
“All living things in this world are created by systems.”
Not only Erina, but also Kayla and Celica. Everyone else is born into the system.
No one knows what will happen when they leave this world.
“It is impossible to predict what will happen if a creature born from the power of the system leaves this world.”
I didn’t know if I could go back to the original world without any problems. However, a problem could occur and lead to loss of life or extinction of existence.
Literally uncharted territory. No one could give a definitive answer.
“But there is one thing I would like to tell you…”
Suddenly, the goddess’s voice became quieter, and her pupils began to quiver. Looking at me, she licked her lips.
I was in anxiety as if I had to say something I didn’t want to say.
“Why? Don’t you want to talk?”
“Oh no! I don’t mean to say… In fact, there is a fact that I must tell you…”
After stuttering her words for a while, the goddess finally sighed and said as if she had made up her mind.
“Actually, there was a time when I arbitrarily attempted to cross over to the master’s world.”
It is said that while I was playing the game, I was possessed by the desire to come over to my world.
She confessed to herself that she tried to remodel the system forcibly, always wanting to see me, who only listened to her voice.
“In the end, my conscience stung me and I gave up…”
“You drew me into this world with the method you figured out then.”
If you think about it, it was. It was obviously strange that even a goddess could suddenly find a way to attract me.
A long time ago, the goddess knew about the passage that connects the world I lived in and this world.
That’s why he was able to pull me into this world right away.
“I should have told you a long time ago, but I couldn’t bear to say it because I was too shy…”
When she finished speaking, the goddess did not lift her face. She was trembling like a child who had done something wrong.
But I wasn’t particularly upset. She was only a little surprised, but she had no remorse for her.
I didn’t think she would have thought that way, as she always showed me a quiet and discreet side.
Still, am I entitled to rebuke her or punish her? It just happened, she did and she decided to pass it on.
“It’s okay. This can be happen.”
“Really… ? I dare you to…”
“It’s not particularly strange. Nothing special happened in the first place.”
Despite my consolation, the goddess shuddered with anxiety and shrank her body. For a moment, Erina’s figure overlapped.
She looked just like her, trembling in her corner after fighting Kayla, saying she had wronged me.
She had never previously confessed to me that she was a goddess.
‘Erina isn’t the only person in despair when your voice is no longer heard.’
Although she wasn’t as good as Erina, she was subconsciously aware that even a goddess had a crush on me.
“I am fine.”
“…”
“You don’t have to feel guilty at all. So raise your head.”
I wanted to warmly hug and comfort her, but she couldn’t reach the goddess.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been hugging Erina often lately. Unknowingly, it seems that fatherly love has grown in her heart.
“Anyway, going back to the main topic, you also don’t know what will happen if you go back to your original world, right?”
“Yes. But there is no way…”
Until now, I only thought of going back to the original world by myself, but now it was different.
Erina, Kayla, Goddess and Celika too. I had to make an ending that everyone could be happy with.
If I could take Erina and Kayla back to the original world.
Then wouldn’t everyone be happy?
However, there was one problem.
“Then, does Erina know this?”
After Erina destroyed the world, did she not think of coming over to my world through the power of the system?
Of course, Erina couldn’t be sure if she would be able to come over to my world.
But I meant that she dragged me into this world even knowing that.
“What the hell is he trying to do?”
The doubt seemed to disappear, but the question continued endlessly, biting her tail.
When will we find out about Erina’s plan? I was just stumped.
And there was one more strange thing.
“And Erina’s status was also strange.”
