NOVEL NEXT chapter 51

“…It’s a misunderstanding.”
I try to answer that with a cold gaze.
No really.
i’m sorry
It’s not like I’m a serious pervert with some weird perversion. I just did what Yuria asked me to do.
If I didn’t do that, I feel like the kid would have been completely eaten by the devil and went out of control. What should I do?
“This is a younger sister who has been reunited after a few years. They are my only family.”
However, Lucien continued to speak with a cold expression.
“But it doesn’t matter if that only family, as soon as they are reunited, suddenly serves a man from an outsider as their master.”
“…”
what a master
Please put up with the titles that are difficult even for me to hear.
Because all human beings are equal
Sera’s worldview was created with the motif of a feudal society, but anyway.
“The man said he didn’t care as long as he didn’t leave him, and he didn’t care what happened to him, so as a manifestation of such intention, he put on the leash with his own hand and handed it over.”
“…”
“I was curious about why she was so obsessed, so I did some research on my own, and found out that Yuria couldn’t meet anyone and was completely cut off from society. He said he was the only one who cared about him.”
“…”
“That person suddenly disappeared without a word one day, and I cried a lot by myself. He said he prayed several times to please see him just once until he showed up again.”
“…”
“Well, in that case. It seems that anyone can become obsessed with that person even if they don’t bring Katabuta reasons.”
“…”
“Is there something I misunderstood here?”
“…”
I couldn’t bear to answer and was silent, so the saintess opened her ax eye and asked the question again.
“do you have?”
“…but there isn’t.”
If you listen to it in summary, it’s trash that I can’t really talk about. Admit it.
“Anyway, let’s put that aside for now. It’s the beginning, even if you provided it, it’s clear that it’s not your fault that Yuria went all the way there.”
When Lucien said that with a sigh, I also nodded in a cold sweat.
okay. If you just let it go like that, I’ll be grateful.
“And, no matter how much I thank you, it’s not enough.”
Having said that, Lucien politely bowed her head.
“…I heard that he confronted the emperor and nailed us not to interfere anymore.”
Unlike before, it was a very polite voice.
In a way, it would be nice to see that it even contains sorrow.
“With the strength of our sisters alone, we would not have been able to escape from that guy’s hands for the rest of our lives. Seriously, I am lucky to have met you.”
“…”
＜System Message＞
[The favorability of the target ‘Lucien’ increases! ]
[The affinity level has been upgraded to ‘interest level 1’! ]
[ Receiveable rewards are added! ]
[Because it is a good character, the reward is reduced! ]
He scratches his cheek while watching the window floating in front of his eyes.
“…There is no need to be so grateful.”
Well, it’s because I’m destined to pretend I like it or not anyway.
Among the scenario villains, there are a few guys who seem to be able to solve it well, but the Emperor is absolutely not.
“…”
I understand its purpose.
Let’s talk a little loosely.
What the emperor is trying to do is to build a ‘paradise’. Idea on the ground that you think.
At least the intention is sublime and noble if you try to wrap it up, it will be possible somehow.
But, unlike Balcasus.
She’s trash. I want to cooperate, but I can’t really cooperate.
It becomes more and more certain towards the end of the scenario.
“And what? It’s going to take a while to take your attention away. It’s not strange when you turn over.”
The story of the Greyhoucher sisters is one of the main axes of the scenario that continues to flow along with the Emperor.
Right now, I have neutralized their interference through negotiations, but in the end, the fact that the Holy Kingdom and the Emperor do not touch the homunculus is a long way off until their plan is completely destroyed.
Especially if you think about what is possible if you grow these two people to the end in a situation where they are attached.
“…Certainly, yes.”
Lucien continued with a slightly gloomy tone.
“Me and Yuria are an integral part of the Emperor’s ‘great cause’. I don’t think I’ll give up, but…”
Then, a bitter smile appeared on the saintess’ face.
“I do not mean to disparage what you have done. How can I thank you…”
“Ah, then let’s do a few favors.”
“…”
Lucien’s expression went blank for an instant.
As if I had waited, I was taken aback for a moment.
why are you upset
All life in the world can’t be free.
“…do you have a favor?”
“Yes. please.”
“Of course, I will listen to anything you say, but compared to the grandiose name of a saint, what I can actually do…”
“Oh, it’s okay. I don’t particularly want too much from the saintess.”
uh. really.
It is rather unconscionable to wish for something enormous. How long ago was this person being tortured in the Holy Land?
“…”
Lucien’s expression darkened slightly.
“Is that so.”
“…No, why are you intimidated? You said there wasn’t much you could do just now?”
“But, since I heard it directly like this, a little…”
“…”
When it comes to being really timid, the sisters are the same.
In particular, Lucien, starting with bleaching her hair, giving off an impression that looks like chewing gum and spitting, is an introvert herself.
“…the first one.”
well, anyway.
I want two things.
“Concerning the Divine Protection, please help me with my mastery. Regarding this, there are not many people in the church who come close to the saintess, right?”
I’m planning on entrusting this person with training to increase my divinity reserve, which barely escapes F and plays between E and D.
All abilities related to divinity are essential since you have decided to use the priest tech, so this person will be very helpful in that regard.
“That part is not that difficult. Even if I ask the benefactor how much divinity he possesses…?”
“A dog worm maggot level.”
“…”
“It takes 3 minutes to make the simplest healing protection. I think the saintess can do about 200 of them at a time without holy relics, right?”
“…What level are you looking for?”
“My goal is to be one-third of you in one month.”
Roughly that much should be of practical help to the problem I am facing.
Even if it’s just the problems that can be affected by whether or not I’m using my ‘sacred power’ right now.
Eliminating the curse of the Elnor family, finding the holy sword from Elijah in relation to Caliban in Chapter 4, smoothly solving the problems that will later entangle with the Inquisition…
None of them are good enough. There is no such thing as a mere growth rate.
Instead, if it really becomes possible for me to grow as much as I do, my range of maneuver will be enormously widened. Even if the situation is somewhat twisted, it will be possible to deal with it smoothly.
“…”
Lucien’s lips trembled.
“…I’ll try, I’ll try.”
She is also a saint.
As soon as I heard this, instead of swearing in my face, he gave me such a kind answer.
‘Well, it wouldn’t be impossible at all though.’
I know with my eyes closed how to grow those things quickly in a ‘systematic’ way.
I’d need an excellent instructor like Lucien to master the skills I’d actually use.
“And the second.”
Actually, the key is this.
It’s urgent right now, and it’s even more troublesome.
“It’s about your brother.”
Lucien’s expression also became serious.
“He’s not in very good shape. Even if it’s not serious right away, it’s on the verge of moving on to that.”
Considering the viciousness of the curse placed on the ‘disconnected person’, he might look pretty normal right now. seemingly.
However, curses originally erode users over a long period of time. Even so, if a part of the body is affected by that side in just a few years, it is not as easy as one might think.
Proof of this is that she can’t even raise her voice if Lucien isn’t around.
“…Still, things are a little better now that you can stick with me.”
Certainly, as this person said, when homunculi are attached to each other, the ability buff goes in a bit hard. Resistance to curses will also increase that much.
“I have more time, so if I find a better solution in the meantime…”
However.
“I hate it.”
“…Yes?”
“I don’t like dragging it out that long. Does it make sense that we haven’t seen each other in a long time and can’t even get close to each other properly?”
Actually, because of that damn curse.
What’s the point of sticking these two together for a long time? Because I don’t know what could happen.
At least it was possible to leave YuRia in the same room in a semi-isolate state until Lucien came to her senses, but in a situation where they could move together, the risk was too high.
So, now these two haven’t even had a proper conversation.
Does that make sense?
We haven’t seen each other in years.
“…”
At my words, Lucien’s eyes widened.
“Let’s go solve it right now. it.”
Originally, the horns are also taken out for sweet seaweed.
There are only 3 days left until the Balcasus event. There’s nothing to drag on.
Right now, YuRia’s sword, ‘Severancer’, is in a situation where not only curses but also pieces of the devil are embedded. If one of the two is not released properly, the progress of Chapter 2 is completely impossible, isn’t it?
And it’s much easier to break the curse than to solve the demon fragments.
there, above all.
‘I have to release that first to get out of the leash…!’
Even if you get rid of the characteristic of not being able to get closer than three steps to others, you can somehow get away from that bizarre accessory.
To me right now, that’s the most important thing…!
“…”
Are you thinking like that?
I saw Lucien glaring at me with a slightly reddened face.
“…? Do you have a fever? Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet…”
“…Yes. The feeling comes. It seems like a person who just throws around like this without realizing it. You don’t seem to notice.”
“…”
Why are you suddenly saying something bad?
what did i do wrong
“…You don’t seem to be the type to talk about it, so let’s just talk about it. Do you have a way?”
“That’s it.”
Of course there is.
It’s not perfect, but it’s a method that’s overflowing enough to be used as an expedient.
I explain to the saintess enough to understand.
“Are you crazy, really?”
“…”
Doud Campbell, Life Achievements.
I was cursed twice in a row by the saintess.
Why are you like that, really?
●
The work of the envoys dispatched to Elfante from the Holy Land is always the same.
Maintenance and repair of religious facilities within the facility. A few simple events.
So, it’s an event that won’t be as crowded as it should be.
in the original way.
It probably would have been the case even if there wasn’t a super-famous celebrity called a saint.
“The saintess looked over here!”
“You must have looked over the horizon.”
“No, you must have been looking at me!”
“…”
The sight of a crowd of people crowding around and squealing whenever they did something was something that in itself gave rise to a headache.
Elijah, who was next to him, wiped his face with a tired expression.
As befits a candidate for a hero, he was summoned to an important event and was entrusted with escorting the saintess, but he himself did not know that people would gather to this extent.
It is said that the saintess is quietly sitting in the carriage covered on all sides, but the escort who pushes the crowds from the outside is truly to die for.
“Why is the escort position suddenly vacant and it’s a mess…”
I laugh at the sight of Elijah muttering like a groan.
That’s what Lucien’s escort knight, Valcasus, was supposed to do, albeit nominally.
that one, well
[ Main Quest ] 〖 Chapter 2 – The Boy King 〗
[ There are 3 days left until the ‘Academy Raid’ incident! ]
Maybe it’s in the middle of preparing for this.
This, as far as I know, is not an ordinary large-scale event.
Balcasus must be putting in quite an effort to prepare this.
As I smiled so bitterly, words flew from the other side.
“…Teacher.”
“yes?”
“Can you please help me?”
“What and how?”
“Could you please stop with that for now…?”
Saying that, at the tip of the finger he pointed at, there was me holding the leash and YuRia, who smiled and tried to cling to me.
Every time I do my best to keep my distance.
It seems that the holy woman has bestowed the protection of blocking presence, so at least there are no such shameful sights around. Good thing.
“What, is that a play? Did you really go crazy because you wanted to spread rumors?”
“…no.”
Right now, this guy is at a level where he suffers from extreme anxiety even if I get away from him even a little bit. I can’t help it.
It’s best to do what you ask…
“uh? Teacher, what were you busy with, I didn’t see you at all for two days after the midterm exam. How did that person hold up during that time?”
“I couldn’t stand it.”
“…Yes?”
“This morning, he broke the window of my dorm room and came in. He was sleeping curled up right next to the bed.”
“…”
Well, it’s not that there is no harvest at all. Because I got good information.
The maximum period that Yuria can endure without seeing me is two days.
Perhaps Lucien was holding back because she had been bewildered, but that was what she did as soon as she heard that her sister had regained consciousness and was well.
“…Then, why did you take such a dangerous person to the regular delegation event?”
“I did it because I needed it, dude…”
When did I do that without thinking?
It’s because there are places where only a saintess is allowed to enter.
In fact, it is the last place of the itinerary we have arrived at now.
“…Every time I come here, it’s amazing.”
star heart.
The dome-shaped building named so is a space in which huge divine power is clearly vibrating even from the outside.
It’s a facility only inside the three academies surrounding the void. Its role is to supply power to the barrier surrounding the academy.
This is a place that even a human of the size of a saintess cannot touch. I’m just glad I got permission to enter.
Originally, just going inside, saying a prayer of thanks, and leaving was all that was scheduled.
okay.
if it’s original.
“I heard about it in the middle of class, but they say that the holy relics left by the chiangsa are still there. That holy relic is supplying power to the barrier semi-permanently. Isn’t that great?”
Elijah threw out a few words with a slight excitement.
Well, this guy has no choice but to have a lot of interest in ‘heaven’ and ‘angel’ by nature.
In the first place, the person I admire the most, Caliban, is a paladin.
“And I heard that there is also a security system to prevent any terrorist activity?”
“Is that so?”
“If you touch the holy relic inside, the guards prepared by the angel will pop out! The angels take care of things really thoroughly!”
“Right.”
“…”
As we were reacting plainly to the chatter of excitement, Elijah suddenly stopped talking.
It was only then that he realized that something was strange.
Now, there are only three people who have entered the ‘Heart of a Star’.
me. Yuria. Elijah.
Everyone else is waiting outside.
This is a situation that I specially created at the request of the saintess.
“…what is this?”
The boy said so with his sharply narrowed eyes.
It is an expression that instinctively senses the ominous.
“What else are you decorating?”
“Decoration.”
I yawned and looked at the huge ore bouncing in front of my eyes.
This is the ‘Heart of the Star’, which is also the name of this building.
It is also an object that later becomes the material for the holy sword that Elijah handles.
A perpetual power organ capable of self-producing superpowers.
“…”
The ominous look on Elijah’s expression was further amplified.
In the meantime, he strides toward the heart of the star.
“Teacher. Isn’t it?”
“What is it?”
“…isn’t it?”
I don’t know what it is.
If you’re saying this, you’re right.
He draws his sword and strikes the heart of the star as it is.
“…”
“…”
A frozen silence hangs nearby.
“What are you doing you crazy human?! Are you really an idiot?!”
I laugh at the sight of Elijah screaming hotly.
“it’s okay. It’s not even scratched like this.”
“It’s not a problem that it doesn’t get scratched…!”
-…
-…
-…!!!!
Immediately, the heart of the star that sensed the ‘shock’ emitted a red light.
Even if you pretend, it doesn’t look so friendly.
The light is getting stronger, and the speed of the heart of the star is getting faster and faster.
As if trying to ‘call out’ something.
‘right.’
And he laughs when he sees it.
“Yeah, by the way. that agrees That the angels do a good job.”
“What are you talking about, all of a sudden?!”
“So I also want to have a quick interview with you.”
The Curse of Severance, as I’ve said several times before, is one of the most vicious curses in gaming.
If you want to get your hands on it urgently, it’s not possible for a normal person.
Regarding the lifting of the curse, I need to borrow the help of angels who are close to specialists.
‘However…’
When it comes to the chinchang, he is quite high among the angels. He’s not someone you can easily meet.
So.
There are two ways to meet a busy person.
First, make a reservation long in advance.
But I only have 3 days so I pass.
“…”
And the second way.
going to have an accident
A fucking big one.
Report up there.
“…okay.”
Elijah suddenly muttered those words with a liberated expression.
“This person was originally a crazy bastard.”
“…”
At the same time as those sentences flowed out.
-!
-!!!
-!!!!!!!!!!
A burst of red light began to surround the inside of the dome with terrifying force.
