The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

98 – Misaligned development (5)

“Sirika. Please listen carefully.”

At Kayla’s words, Celica swallowed her saliva with her tension.

I knew that Kayla and Erina weren’t on good terms. It was a cold relationship to the point of misunderstanding that she might be Cheolcheonji’s enemy, let alone her colleague.

Looking at them, Celica also had her doubts. What the hell is going on that makes the two of them so bad?

But why are they together as members of the same party?

“Erina-sama is a very dangerous person.”

These words were not intended to antagonize each other. It’s not that her selfishness didn’t go in at all, but it was the advice she gave to warn Celica.

Selica already knew. Although it was a short time, she was able to figure out the relationship between the three.

‘If it wasn’t for Seohyun-nim, the two would…’

At least, he seemed to know that the two of them must have split up a long time ago. Maybe it was between killing and killing each other.

“We must defeat the Demon King.”

“I know… !”

It was a story I had already heard from Seohyun. Celica decided to join the party even though she knew that.

The death of the abbot, who is no different than her own parent. Even if she avenged herself by killing Ragnar, nothing would change as long as the Demon King’s army was there.

In order for peace to come to this world, it was necessary to conquer the Demon Realm and defeat the Demon King.

And Seohyun said she needed Celica’s help to kill the Demon King.

‘If I can help these people, I’m sure…’

You may be able to defeat the demon lord. What everyone has been dreaming of may come true.

Celica decided to join the party. Above all, without them, she would be left without a place to go.

“Seohyun-nim also doesn’t trust Erina-nim. It’s just that I can’t let her go because of her too strong power.”

Celica naturally nodded at Kayla’s words. Although she may be mentally immature, she is strong enough that no one can match her.

What would happen if Erina held out her sword towards herself? Just the thought of her made goose bumps run down Celica’s back.

A party too precarious. Seohyun was at least able to stop Erina from acting out of her own way.

Although she couldn’t tell Celica all her secrets. Still, Kayla bowed her head toward her.

“Lady Celica. I would like to ask you one thing.”

“Uh, something…”

“We ask that you prioritize protecting Seohyun more than anyone else.”

Actually, Kayla’s suggestion was natural. If a party mate is in danger, of course you should help.

But the meaning of what Kayla said was not so simple. Celica

“Even in the moment when Erina-sama behaves as she pleases.”

“…”

“Please protect Seohyun-nim.”

Before I knew it, Kayla was speaking in a stern voice.

I was sure that the day would come when Erina would stretch her sword against her comrades.

***

Inside the deserted monastery, Celica and Kayla were waiting.

Of course, the expressions of the two were not good. Kayla, in particular, averted her gaze with her face hardened.

With a more refreshed expression, Erina looked around her. She nodded her head in satisfaction and looked at Celica.

“I will allow you too.”

“Oh, yes! Thank you.”

Celica looked at Kayla and bowed her head towards Erina. Although she had sacrifices, she was lucky that Celica had joined her teammates.

But Kayla didn’t look happy at all. She probably was watching all of what Erina and I were doing.

It’s because it was covered by Erina. Kyla was as jealous as she was. She was like that in everything, even when she bumped into and argued with Erina.

She couldn’t even imagine how heartbreaking it would be for her to lose her loved one right in front of her eyes.

‘I’ll have to comfort Kyla later.’

At this point, Erina, Kai, and Celika too. Should we take time to talk to each other?

But I didn’t have time right now. She had to think about the treatment of her children as well, as Celica concluded with joining.

Of course, I didn’t bring Celica in without thinking.

“Let’s take all the children to the capital.”

She explained her future plans to her colleagues. First of all, I decided to join Yulia’s adventurer’s league.

Fortunately, my colleagues agreed with my decision. Since he had already spoken to Erina, nothing else came out.

Using the mansion Yulia mentioned as a base, we decided to prepare for the future.

Although it was a downside to not being able to receive the quest he wanted, it was something he had in mind.

‘In the first place, the concept of a quest disappears when we head to the second half.’

When the Demon King’s army and the kingdom go into an all-out war, the atmosphere changes rapidly. Adventurers who used to fight for money will fight for survival.

Before that situation came, we had to lay the foundation as wide as possible in the capital city.

“I plan to live in a mansion in the capital as Yulia suggested.”

Erina’s face turned red at my words. She hummed in her excitement that the life of her dream house would begin.

“Then, the children…”

“Don’t worry. We are all going to live together in the mansion.”

Permission was barely obtained after giving her lips to Erina. All the children were also allowed to live in the mansion.

Of course, I didn’t mean to just reap the children. I was going to live with them in the form of employment, doing housework in moderation and giving them a salary.

“I’ll provide lodging and meals for free, and I’ll leave all the details to Celica.”

In fact, the children believed in Celica, not me. It would be better for Celica to take care of the children than for me to give orders to them.

“Thank you…”

Perhaps even Celica knows about it. I know that the offer I made is too poor for Celica and her children.

If it wasn’t for me, these children would have been sitting on the streets right away. It meant letting all such children live in the mansion.

“Of course, it’s not free. Celica.”

“I know. No matter what happens, I will be with you.”

Celica also had a heavy sense of responsibility. No longer could she be an ordinary village nun.

Now she too had to become a party of warriors to deal with the Demon King’s army.

“Serica. You know We intend to subdue the demon lord.”

“Yes. I know.”

We have already informed her of our goals. Still, Celica wanted to join us.

To get revenge for her own family. Also, for world peace.

“The goddess will protect us. You will definitely be able to defeat the Demon King.”

Celica raised her prayers with her strong faith. Suddenly, I had the illusion that her heavenly light was descending from her.

How will she react when she finds out that the goddess she believes in is imprisoned in the heavens?

What kind of expression would she make if she ascended to the heavens with Celica and faced a disfigured goddess?

And when she finds out that Erina is the culprit behind all that, how will Celica face Erina?

“Please take good care of me in the future.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

That’s how the third colleague joined us.

***

“So, I will join the Adventurers League.”

Julia offered me tea with a satisfied expression. As the red tea was poured into a beautiful cup, white steam rose.

Celine carefully poured the tea into my teacup, amidst the subtle fruity scent.

Unlike the last time, there were no other colleagues. Only Yulia, Colin, and me. Three people sat down at the table.

Even now, Erina might be listening to her outside, but she decided not to mind. It didn’t make any sense anyway.

However, she was worried that Erina might get in the way, so she just dropped it.

“A very wise choice. I don’t know about anyone else, but I really wanted to bring you guys.”

Yulia also needed our strength. While talented adventurers were gradually disappearing, we were a party that appeared like a comet.

He defeated Ragnar, the core force of the Demon King’s army. There have been many adventurers so far, but there has never been an adventurer who has defeated the 4 major blades.

In other words, it meant that I was not simply in Eul’s position.

“Still, I have no intention of entering without any conditions.”

I told Yulia all of her requests. First of all, it started with a story about the capital’s mansion.

“Don’t worry. I send someone on a regular basis to take care of it, so it should be in good condition.”

I promised to take over the mansion on the condition that I hand over most of the compensation for this quest. He also explained the treatment of children.

When I told her about her situation with Celica, Yulia quietly nodded her head.

“To put it simply, they are just doing free volunteering.”

“I would have the children do chores and chores, but…”

“Don’t be ridiculous. It would be much better to hire a gardener or maid.”

I didn’t know either. Still, for Celica’s sake, she had to bring the children.

Still, Yulia did not stop my choice. She shook her hand as if to take care of it.

“I understand. I’ll do as you please. Don’t worry about the children.”

They say they plan to hire a security guard in the name of the Adventurers League. Even while Celica is away from her mansion, she will be able to feel at ease.

“By the way, you can leave the Adventurers League at any time. But that doesn’t mean you can go out on your own.”

In order to withdraw from the Adventurers League, he had to pay a considerable amount of penalty. She had no intention of leaving the Adventurers League anyway, so she decided to move on.

Instead, the job wasn’t easy. A grandiose organization such as the Federation was not created for simple intermediate or expeditionary quests.

“Advanced Quest. Among them, there are quests that adventurers avoid because they are quite difficult.”

Quests that require cross-border or are highly likely to collide with the demon army. In fact, it is said that there are cases in which missions for which knights should be dispatched fall to adventurers.

“The damn high-ranking people don’t know. How many talents have been sacrificed because of such requests.”

There were strangely thorns embedded in his relaxed tone. Looking at Yulia so far, she felt that her desire for talent was great.

It was the same because they hurriedly ran to Helen Village to meet us right away.

“Are there plans for other adventurers to join in the future?”

At my question, Yulia nodded her head leisurely.

“I have another party. Do you know the rumor about the lion in the south?”

Yulia nodded at her question. If she was the Lion of the South, she couldn’t help but know.

The main character’s rival, a man who became the main character’s competitor in the game and defended the kingdom.

“Yes. Isn’t that a man called Eric?”

Then Yulia tilted her head. She shrugged her shoulders as if she didn’t know what she was talking about.

“What are you talking about? Eric? Is that person a woman?”

“What…?”

It couldn’t have been. As far as I remember, he was definitely a man. And the people who followed him were all men.

But what Yulia said was completely different.

“Catalina. Her southern lion is her word, pointing to her.”

“Catalina… ?”

When Yulia said her name, it felt like she had been hit in the back of the head. She was able to know what she had forgotten for a while.

Depending on the gender of the main character, the gender of the rival also changes. If the main character is a man, it is a woman, and if a woman, it is a man.

In the first episode, a man named Eric came out as a rival. But now a person I knew nothing about came out.

In other words, it meant that the main character had changed.

‘Could it be because of me?’

It would have been understandable if I had become the main character instead of Erina.

“Anyway, I contacted Catalina’s party and got a positive response.”

However, he said he’s busy with other quests right now. After arriving in the capital, he said he intends to talk to Yulia separately.

“I came to see you even though another party is scheduled. Is it an honor?”

“Yes. Thank you very much.”

Yulia flirted and swallowed the refreshments on the table. She held out her glass with a happy smile.

Her I too followed her and raised her glass. The tea cups collided with a cheerful sound.

“Please take good care of me in the future.”

“I am.”

At least Julia was snobbish, but she was not a sly person. She confidently said what she wanted and she chose to negotiate.

To become the commissioner. To occupy high powers. She decided to use me too. She, of course, promised to be treated accordingly.

It was more comfortable to hold hands with someone like this. At least it would be better than being among stuffy figures like the Templars.

“And I have one final request.”

“What is it?”

Unlike her mood so far, Yulia whispered in a low voice.

“Do you know Hellwood Forest?”

Far east from the capital. There are forest areas that people are not allowed to enter.

The reason people couldn’t come and go was simple. This is because the indigenous people who protect the forest live there.

“Isn’t it a forest where elves are gathered?”

“Yes. I know that.”

Of course, there was no way I didn’t know. After falling into this world, it was one of the places I made up my mind to go to.

‘New colleague. Tyria.’

The elven archer you were with in the first playthrough. Because the last mate is there.
