The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

69 – What a Devout Believer Wishes(1)

A peaceful day continued in the capital.

This week is a short break, but it was enough time to dull the sense of battle.

“Huh…!”

As I drew the knife, fresh blood splattered in all directions.

An unpleasant sensation came to him as hot orcish blood spattered down his face.

The frost-flowing sword cut through the orc’s body.

The huge body twists over with a grotesque scream.

At the same time, lightning flashed in front of my eyes.

A stalk of electric charge flew through the air and pierced the orc’s neck.

A hot wind blew behind his back.

The flames soared into the air and devoured the surrounding monsters.

The orc died without even screaming.

The group of 10 people was annihilated in an instant.

In less than a minute, the Orc horde was annihilated.

But the atmosphere was not very bright.

Even though the battle was over, Erina did not let go of her combat readiness.

She stepped in front of Kayla and pointed her knife at her.

“Did you just throw the flames at me on purpose?”

“I was worried that the electric shock would go in the direction where my lord was, so I blocked it.”

It’s already the third battle since we left the capital.

The fight didn’t end after fighting the monster.

Fortunately, there was no direct collision.

However, the atmosphere that had sunk to the bottom did not change.

The coachman who accompanied us was terrified, his mouth tight.

“Haa…”

As the relationship between the two reached its worst, I was the one who was most stressed.

Every day it feels like my blood is drying up.

I can’t sleep because I’m worried that a fight might break out while I take my eyes off it.

“Everyone, stop and get in the wagon.”

At my words, Erina drew her sword with her teeth grinding.

Kai also erased her magic circle with a regretful expression and wiped her hands.

“Please be quiet in the wagon.”

“I know. I won’t do anything if she stays still.”

“I have no intention of breaking my oath with my lord. However, if my lord’s safety is in danger, I will not stand still.”

After Erina and Kayla had a fight, their relationship deteriorated further.

Previously, Kayla unilaterally lowered her head and lowered her tail.

But now even that sign has disappeared.

It was unfamiliar to me to see him glaring at me with his eyes wide open so as not to lose a word.

Has Kayla ever been so emotional?

Rather, this could have been her nature.

Either way, it’s an unpleasant change for me.

Unlike the previous seemingly peaceful days, a bloody atmosphere continued throughout the day.

‘It can’t go on like this.’

A new colleague will come in soon.

However, looking at the current atmosphere, who would say that they would be together?

“Do you remember everything I said?”

“I know.”

“I keep that in mind.”

Both of them are extremely wary of being hated by me, so I didn’t cross the line.

However, I didn’t like the fact that we were staring at each other and confronting each other.

“It’s only been two days since I left the capital. Don’t strain yourself already.”

It was not far from the capital to Helen Village.

No matter how late it is, we will arrive at Helen Village within today.

It is not the end just because we arrived at the village.

I had to proceed with the quest, and I also had to find new colleagues.

In the meantime, I had to take care of two people. Even three bodies are not enough.

After tidying up the surroundings and getting on the carriage, the coachman hurriedly grabbed the reins and urged her horse.

The sound of whipping and horses hooves rang out regularly.

Occasionally the horse’s neigh was heard, and the coachman calmed him down by squeezing the reins.

He leaned against the handrail of the luggage compartment.

For two days, nothing special happened while I ate and slept in the wagon.

At least, he only moved his body when the monsters were attacking.

The rest of the time there was nothing to do but sit quietly in the carriage and watch the scenery.

While she was staring at the forest passing by, Kayla came up to me and started talking to her.

“My lord, I want to ask you something.”

It was rare for her to ask me questions.

She nodded in puzzlement, and Kayla opened her mouth.

“I would like to ask if there is a reason why you chose Helen Village as your expedition destination among many quests.”

Come to think of it, she had never explained to her in detail about this expedition.

Even when she started, she just silently followed.

Of course, there was only one reason. To find Celica.

But she couldn’t tell Kayla.

To do that, I had to tell them that this world was just a game.

Sorry Kayla, but she decided to tour in moderation.

“There’s no particular reason. The pay is good and the difficulty doesn’t seem too high. I chose it because I thought it was an appropriate quest.”

“Is that so… But a mysterious monster? I think we should be careful as much as an unknown enemy.”

Kayla clamped her mouth shut with her anxious eyes.

Since there is no information about monsters, it seems that you can’t sympathize with what I’m saying.

But I already knew about monsters.

‘Cerberus.’

A monster known as the devil dog of hell.

A wolf with the size of a human and wrapped in hellfire.

It is a beast equipped with tremendous speed and cleverness.

Among monsters, it belonged to a fairly strong axis.

It’s not an easy opponent to the point of putting your name on the request.

Still, they are not stronger opponents than us.

“Don’t worry too much. If it’s really dangerous, I don’t mind giving up.”

As expected, there was absolutely no way it would fail.

A word thrown lightly to clear Kayla’s doubts.

But she seems to have taken my words seriously.

His expression hardened and his eyes sharpened.

“I will definitely make it a success.”

A strong will was conveyed in his voice. With the determination to succeed, the fighting spirit soared.

It seems that he unintentionally inspired her.

I decided to leave it as it is because there is no need to dispel misunderstandings.

“…Whew.”

On the other hand, Erina was apathetic as if she wasn’t particularly curious.

I just continue the boundary with my gaze fixed on the other side of the carriage.

However, her complexion was not very good.

I guess I knew the reason.

Erina had already been to Helen Village.

There was no way I wouldn’t know since I had the same request in the first round.

Of course, she would also know about her new colleague Celica.

She must have noticed since she had already decided on her destination for Helen Village.

‘I’m probably desperately trying to stop it.’

Judging from her actions so far, there was no way she would allow Celica to join her teammates.

I could clearly see her pushing her away at all costs.

I couldn’t stand still either.

Even if her request fails, Celica will bring her unconditionally.

While heading to the village of Helen, a subtle tension hung over her wagon.

In the heavy air current, the coachman had to sit restlessly all day watching his notice.

Since then, about two hours have passed.

As the sun went west, the carriage finally stopped.

“I have arrived.”

Before the coachman could finish his words, she got out of the carriage.

She sighed and put her feet on the ground.

She sat still in the carriage for a long time, and her moths ached.

Erina stretched as soon as she got off the carriage.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

I shook hands with the coachman who worked hard for two days.

His hands were wet with sweat.

Looking at her again, her face seemed more haggard than before.

Still, I felt sorry for him as he accepted the handshake with a smile.

I opened her pocket and handed her a gold coin.

“Enjoy your meal.”

The color returned to the driver’s face at the sight of her coins.

She took the tip and smiled to see if her mood improved.

Thanks to that, I was able to lessen her feelings of sorry.

After parting with the coachman, we were left alone in front of Helen Village.

At the entrance of the village, there was a long line of wooden fences along with high stone walls.

In the center of the entrance stood two guards holding flags side by side.

The armor he was wearing was also quite plausible.

‘It’s the complete opposite of Norton Village.’

It was completely different from the snowy mountain village.

There are fences that fall down, but compared to the mana-one guards, Helen Village was quite developed.

The security was also strictly followed.

I wouldn’t have been able to enter easily if I hadn’t shown the request form.

The streets were bustling with people and lively.

There were also children running around and playing, and some vendors soliciting customers from stalls.

“This is Helen Village. As rumored, it is a big town.”

“I won’t have to suffer like last time.”

While walking around looking around, Erina came over and crossed her arms.

“I want to rest quickly today.”

“Oh, yes. Let’s go to the inn for now.”

As Erina said, everyone is tired.

After living in a carriage for three days, her body felt sore.

Fortunately, the inn was quickly found.

There was a sign in front of the tallest building in the center of town.

“Welcome!”

When I opened the door, warmth came along with the lively voice of the hostess.

A significant number of people were gathered inside the building.

Most of them look like normal villagers, but some are armed with armor and weapons.

They sat at a table full of food and drinks to fill their stomachs and enjoy chatting.

There was a constant laughter everywhere.

“Too noisy.”

Contrary to Erina’s complaint, it wasn’t as hectic as in the capital city.

The moderate energy and cheerful atmosphere were friendly.

I paid the innkeeper and got her room.

As soon as I entered the dorm, the turbulent energy subsided.

Kayla then took off her robe and let her relax.

She was frustrated because she always covered her face with her robe.

Erina also took off her armor and returned in a light dress.

I put down the sword I always wore and tidied it up.

“For now, let’s rest today. The sun will set in a little while.”

The sun was slowly setting.

I had no intention of risking myself by carrying out the request at night.

You can start the quest after you have enough rest and are ready.

Before that, there was someone to meet beforehand.

“Then I’ll go to the requesting office.”

Before starting the request, you had to officially accept the request from the requesting office.

And there was also a monastery where Celica lived near the requesting office.

It was necessary to move from now on in order to capture it as quickly as possible.

“Come with me.”

“I will follow you.”

Knowing that it would be useless to dry it anyway, I nodded.

It’s not very pleasant, but there was no particular problem.

I left the inn and looked around the surrounding streets.

A commercial district was formed around a large circular plaza.

Because it is a city that connects the capital and the roads of various cities, commerce has developed.

There were shops that boasted a considerable scale, from ordinary stalls.

It was so large that you could spend a whole day looking at it.

But there was no time for leisurely shopping.

I hurriedly turned around. No, I tried to turn it.

Without realizing it, my arm was grabbed.

“Look over there. It’s a weapons shop. Would you like to take a look?”

Erina subtly pushed my back.

She could feel the difference right away.

I always wore only the long sword and armor I had set for me, so there was no way I could turn my eyes to other weapons.

It must have been intended to divert my gaze.

I tried to turn around while looking around.

“See you later. First, go to the requesting office and accept the request.”

In fact, the requesting office was close to an excuse and the purpose was a monastery.

But Erina seems to know that too.

“I’ll see you later. The weapons shop is right over there.”

Unlike before, a coercive attitude was mixed.

I tried to loosen her arms, but I felt a different pressure than usual.

I didn’t back down either and gave it my strength.

He violently shook her arms and frowned at her.

“Then you can see it by yourself. I’ll go to the requesting office first.”

“…Can we go with you? Let’s look at new weapons together.”

I was able to understand Erina’s ulterior motives.

In this way, I tried to prevent her from meeting Celica by wasting her time.

She couldn’t afford an obvious move.

The moment I turned around and was about to take her steps, Erina stopped me.

“Wait a minute, don’t you?”

Unlike words, there was a high-pressure tone.

That said, I was too ambiguous to show a sharp reaction.

If I get angry or annoyed just because of this, I will be the only one who is considered a weirdo.

Kayla also quickly took my side, probably reading the atmosphere.

“Erina-sama. The lord’s words…”

“Shut up.”

Before she could finish her words, her grin blew vicious words into her face.

Erina, who doesn’t listen to me, couldn’t listen to Kayla.

Perhaps this was an expected reaction, Kayla did not show any signs of embarrassment.

On the contrary, he responded with the same smile.

“Your mouth is rough. Aren’t you ashamed in front of your lord?”

“It’s better than being black on the inside like you.”

Fortunately, I didn’t see any signs of fighting, whether my bluffing action in the capital had an effect.

Just glaring at each other with eerie smiles.

Erina took her gaze away from her and came towards me.

Kyla didn’t sit still either.

They blocked my way and prevented my access.

“Get out of the way.”

“I don’t like it.”

While the two were fighting, people’s eyes were gathering around them.

The moment you think about whether you should blow dry your hair,

“Attention everyone!”

The lively voice of the girl echoed through the square.

My head turned involuntarily at the sudden commotion.

Thousands of people were passing by on the street.

And a girl appeared in the center of the plaza.

A black habit and a cross in both hands.

Pink hair like plum blossoms and a quiet demeanor.

Anyone could see that she was a nun.

And when I saw her face, I was stunned.

‘Selica… ?’

The colleague I was looking for was there.
