Chapter 18: The Saint (1)
She looks a bit stubborn, which is not my thing.
I’d rather have someone with sexy features like Riche’s than that kind of stubbornness.
I can’t help but feel sorry for Kane for being engaged to a woman like that.
Yeah. If I marry a stubborn woman like that, I’ll definitely get busted. The real Kane, this bastard keeps trying to pull me into a mess.
Earlier, I felt grateful to him for letting me have a girlfriend, but now I realize that he’s just dropped a bomb on me.
I was an idiot for being grateful for Kane for a second.
This is just plain stupid.
Eileen looked dumbfounded when she heard me break up with her.
I quickly turned on my feet before the sparks flew.
“Then I’ll leave first.”
C’mon. Let’s run.
I left the room, staring at the message that said Quest Complete.
…
Eileen stared blankly in the direction Kane had gone.
What? Suddenly?
Eileen stood dumbfounded for a minute, unable to comprehend what was happening.
He’d just walked out on her like that?
She was dumbfounded at first, then the blood rushed to her head.
“Heh, heh, what?”
She had originally planned to break up with Kane today. After all, he had been involved in an incident, and her family had been pressuring her to break off her engagement to him.
Eileen hadn’t been able to stand the family pressure, and after thinking about it for a few nights, she’d decided to go through with it.
But it still reminded her of the first time she met Kane, when he wasn’t labeled a loser like he is now. He didn’t have much talent, but he worked hard and had a decent personality, so he didn’t make a bad impression on other people.
So when Kane came to mind, Eileen went to great lengths to make him feel less offended.
In the end, she couldn’t even decide…
But then he just said, ‘We’re breaking up, and this is all you have to say?
And not only did he say it, but he didn’t look sad. He looked so relaxed.
I spent a few nights in my room trying to figure out how not to hurt his feelings.
“……”
This is ridiculous.
It’s obvious that she wanted to break up with him, and he did what she wanted anyway, so I didn’t hurt his feelings and everything turned out okay.
What am I upset about?
Honestly, I’m pretty confident in my abilities and financial resources.
Character… I don’t know exactly, but I think I’m pretty good and beautiful.
So even before I got engaged to Kane, I got a lot of confessions.
And you just dumped me without hesitation?
I mean, sure, he could dump me. I might not be his type, but it was ridiculous that he would just spit out his words and walk away.
Eileen’s face grew flushed. She rubbed her palms together to cool down.
“Ha! Okay. That’s good. I was going to break up with him anyway.”
And with that, she left the mansion, her eyes burning.
…
A week passed when Eileen arrived.
“Whoa… tougher than I thought.”
“Master, but you’ve got a little more stamina and strength than you did at first.”
“Then why are you avoiding eye contact?”
Kersey stares off into the distance at the mountains in response to my question whistling.
For the past week, I have not been still. Deciding that even if this body is going to live and die, I need to have at least a minimal amount of strength, and so I’ve been working out like crazy.
I started with the basics, strength training, stamina, that sort of thing, and then moved on to swordsmanship, aura control, and other things.
But… is this really Thomas’ son?
Strength and stamina aren’t normal since he’s been drinking all this time, but shouldn’t he be a little talented in swordsmanship and aura control?
Honestly, I was expecting it, but I’m not going to lie, he’s no more talented than a normal person.
Yeah. Swordsmanship, yes.
Swordsmanship can get better, at least with effort. But I can’t feel an Aura at all, to the point where I doubt he’s even inside me.
“Master. But are you sure you don’t mind breaking up?”
Can you at least say that with a concerned face?
Her tone is obviously incredibly worried, but I can see the corners of her mouth twitching upwards as if she’s trying to be honest.
Maybe it’s a good thing I broke up with Eileen.
“Well, it’s okay, it won’t be a problem.”
Honestly, my family won’t care.
They won’t know that I’ve changed in the first place. Even within the family, it’s a rumor, and few people believe it.
I’m pretty sure they’d rather be happy that I broke up with her, than not.
I bet they’ve been trying to figure out how to break up without causing any damage.
And the way she looked the day she came to see me, it was obvious she was about to break up with me.
So I don’t think the Eilers will be asking for anything from us.
In fact, I guarantee they’re dancing with joy.
“Well, if they’re happy, so be it, they won’t resent us or anything. By the way, are you giving support to an adventurer named Kim Soo-yong in the name of the David family?”
Riche nodded, still pissed off by what had just happened.
“Yes… Master, but is there any reason to do so, isn’t he… the one who broke your guild?”
Yep. Because I have to stay as true to the source material as possible.
Of course, it’s possible that the Constellation has gone to Kim Soo-yong again now, but you never know.
I honestly don’t know what she’s thinking, so there’s no way to be sure she went back to him.
Therefore, it is necessary to borrow the family name and do the same as the church supports.
Unable to speak my mind out loud, I stroked the top of her head to calm her down.
“I can’t say exactly why, but from his point of view, he just got rid of a bad guy, so if we invest in him, he’ll continue to take care of the waste on the estate.”
“Y-yes, the hands.”
“Ah! Sorry.”
When I stop petting her, she lets out a wistful sigh.
Keiji, who was watching the scene from the side, looks at Riche with purely innocent eyes and shakes her head.
“Riche. Your face is as red as an apple!”
“It’s an illusion. Junior.”
“Huh? I don’t think it’s an illusion, does Master’s hands feel good, Riche?!”
Kersey answered without a care in the world.
Hearing her response, Riche’s regretful face instantly turned into a half-smile.
“Junior. Looks like your break is over.”
“Ugh, huh? I don’t think break is over yet.”
“No. Judging from the way you’re talking, you look very rested. Master, we’ll go back to training now.”
Rishe replied firmly. Seeing her attitude, Kersey’s pupils began to shake like an earthquake, as if she realized she had touched something wrong.
“Yes, thank you.”
“Save me, master!”
“It’s self-inflicted, Kersey.”
“No!!!”
Just like that, Kersey was grabbed by Riche and dragged away.
Well, I’ve had enough of training, let’s go get some hidden items.
Slowly, I began to prepare myself for the original.
…
Leaving the mansion, I make my way to the priests-only market where the hidden items are hidden.
As I walk, the townspeople avoid me as usual.
It’s something I feel every time, but it’s unfair.
I can’t on my conscience prove that I’ve done anything wrong, but people avoid me like I’m some kind of monster.
As I walked along with a sullen heart, I finally arrived at my destination.
Unlike the adventurer’s market, there were only people in white robes and snow-white armor like that worn by paladins.
It was so white all around that it was like PTSD.
It’s almost holy, even though you’re just looking at people walking around.
“Hey, you know, you’re in such good spirits.”
“What?”
“I’m sorry. I must have misunderstood you because I’m still new here.”
The person approaching from the church saw my face and shifted her stance at the speed of light.
No. Not even church sister.
Usually religious people don’t skip anyone and are persistent in their chase, but this woman had apparently just seen my face, and her expression hardened instantly.
What the hell. Kane, what kind of fame does this fu*cker have!
Well, it’s better for me if I don’t get approached like that, but for some reason I feel weird.
It’s like being ignored by a neighbourhood dog.
Comparing religious promoters to neighborhood dogs is a little different, but the feeling is similar.
Eventually, the woman shoved the holy water in her hand back into her pocket, turned her attention to the next person nearby, and scurried away.
Yeah. Let’s be positive. What’s to complain about?
I’m not trying to win a mental victory by being hurt. I’m just being sincere.
Yeah. That’s all I’m saying.
***
Hmm… I thought that was it, by the way.
I walked around the pure white temple, looking at the surroundings.
It’s impossible for me to memorize all the terrain, no matter how advanced I am. In the first place, the hidden item I’m about to get is from the very beginning of the play.
So even though I know where it is, I can’t completely memorize the path to get there.
This is why maps are so important.
When I was playing, if I didn’t know, I’d just go straight to the map view setting, but without it, it’s not as easy.
-shhhh.
As I continued to walk around, I heard a familiar sound from somewhere.
What was that?
As soon as I heard it, I started walking towards it without hesitation.
The further I walked, the clearer the sound became.
After about 30 seconds of walking, I arrived at the location of the hidden item as expected.
At the same time.
[Goddess of Destiny wanted to see you!]
What is it, Damnit? It’s a dream, isn’t it?
I rubbed my eyes with my arm, wondering if it was just my imagination.
But contrary to my expectations, the message from the constellation is still there, right in front of my eyes.
Ah… please f**k off.
Since, I didn’t receive any messages from her, I naturally assumed that she was fed up with me not responding to her and had gone somewhere else entirely.
But that wasn’t the case, and from the way she reacted, it’s clear that she left for a while, but I don’t think she went to Kim Soo-yong.
[Goddess of Destiny wonders how you will escape death].
What?! W*F. I suddenly realize something.
Just as I was thinking that, I heard a very intimidating and creepy voice from behind me.
“You stole my goddess, how dare you steal my goddess, you don’t deserve to live, even if the goddess and the king forgive you, I won’t, so I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you . I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE.”
A cold sweat trickles down my spine. As you try to turn around like a broken robot.
[You have died].
The message from the regression appeared in front of me.
