At the same time as that window flickered past my eyes.
Consciousness is drawn back into the material world.
“…Uh.”
The first thing I felt was the intense pain that made those words pop out like moaning, but more than that, I also felt a foreign sensation.
My hair is so soft it’s strange.
“…”
As I was blinking for something, I saw someone’s face beyond my slowly returning vision.
Bright red eyes looking down at me as if they were going to eat me.
“…!”
I was appalled, so my whole body tensed up without even realizing it, and my stomach drooped again with the sound of pain from the stronger pain than before.
The whole body is full of wounds. Previously, when I was a Purifier, I was healed right away.
“Are you awake?”
“…Elnor?”
“yes. It seems you haven’t forgotten your face.”
It was Elnor, with the feeling that the coldness was dripping several times more than usual.
“…Hey, Elnor.”
“Well.”
“Are you mad?”
“I’m angry.”
“…”
It should look like that.
So, that’s the part I need to ask more.
“…You’re angry, but why are you giving me a lap pillow?”
“Since I am angry, shouldn’t I do what I want to do?”
“…”
You do.
While laughing, I just exhale quietly, then look around with difficulty.
“You must be a minister.”
“Yes.”
The golden magic that was released from the fallen body of Valcasus on the ground and scattered was covering the sky.
It was a scene as if the sky had opened and the spirits ascended all at once.
In fact, the meaning is similar to that.
With this, the kingdom of Armada is no different from being saved.
If it is a soul, it will return to the circle of reincarnation to which it belongs, and dwell as a soul in another body.
In this worldview, it is common sense that the souls of the dead return to the circle of reincarnation and dwell again in the body of a newly born.
Balcassus struggled for so many years to find even such a minimal right for his people.
“…”
He lifted his arm with difficulty and looked at the amulet hanging there.
A mixture of white and black gave off a gray light from the inside.
It must be because Caliban and Balcassus are both sleeping here.
‘…see you later.’
Like Caliban, Balcasus is likely to spend most of his time sleeping here while my holy power is low.
I hope the time comes soon when we can wake up easily and talk.
As I was thinking about that, messages suddenly unfolded in front of my eyes.
＜System Message＞
[ You have completed the main quest! ]
[ Rewards are paid! ]
[ ‘Evil Essence x1’ will be given! ]
[ ‘Hero Fragment 1’ will be paid! ]
[ 10,000pt will be paid! ]
[This is a quest where an emergency event was applied. Additional rewards are paid out! ]
[ A special interaction with ‘Heretic Inquisition’ is added! ]
[The function is activated immediately upon contact with the personnel of the ‘Heretic Interrogation’! ]
The gaze that had been reading all the way stopped at one part.
Everything else is like that, but the sentence at the end was especially important.
‘…The Heretic Interrogation Center.’
In a survey of Sera users, it is a group that occupies the first place in the category of ‘the ally you don’t want to have as the enemy’.
In many ways, it’s because the ‘colleague’ character who has the strongest presence in it is the problem.
‘I shouldn’t have to go there.’
They’ll eventually come across someday, but it’s okay to put it off as long as possible.
Even if you search the entire continent, you can count on one hand the humans who are more directly related to the devil than I am right now.
There’s no way that the Heretic Inquisition, which makes ‘demon hunting’ a business, would welcome me.
‘Well, this is this.’
There is one more thing left to remember.
After breaking through Balcasus through the battle route in this way, there is something ‘opened’.
[You have fulfilled the conditions for the hidden event ‘???’ once! (1/3) ]
right.
Savior Rising is a game with a better structure than I thought, and it is well equipped with special rewards when breaking through in a unique way rather than the ‘direction’ of the main scenario.
The ‘hidden event’ written here is exactly that. A reward that pops up when you faithfully complete the main scenario.
And that.
“…Why are you looking at me like that?”
She smiled at Elnor who said that with a sullen expression.
“No, just.”
It is the only secret solution to solve the ‘madness’ passed down in Elnor’s family.
That first step has now been cut off.
“…”
Elnor, who was still looking down at me, lifted a finger and flicked the bridge of my nose with a sigh.
If you look at the movements, it might be a kid’s joke, but my head was bent backwards after being hit by it.
How strong is the alternative?
“…What is it?”
“Don’t flirt. Because I’m pretty dissatisfied right now.”
“…”
All I did was a little laugh
“That’s what flirts with.”
“…So why is that-”
“Because I feel that way.”
“…”
what do you mean
As I kept my mouth shut, Elnor lifted me up with a sigh.
“Once you’ve been injured in this way, it’s better to start with treatment.”
“…”
uh, that’s right
Even if you say that my appearance is good, it is nothing more than a wreck.
And when I think of this person’s ‘propensity’, I thought that I would go mental as soon as I saw myself like this, but the reaction is more gentle than I thought.
This was enough to bring this person to the battle with Balcasus.
‘…what has changed?’
If you can guess, there is.
In the process of using the Spirituality skill to attach this person to the Flash Tearer, I did see the phrase that this person was almost finished merging with the fragment.
As far as I know, that is the beginning of a new event.
It seems that you are already receiving the influence from now on-
“And, while receiving treatment, I will slowly receive an explanation.”
“…Yes?”
“Where are you going with Elijah Krissanax?”
“…”
Oh right.
this was left
●
“Elijah, come on! I wasn’t hurt… what the hell is that?!”
Tricia, who was waiting for her anxious roommate to return from the dorm, screamed in fright when she saw Elijah enter the room.
Of course, I didn’t think that I would spend the day smoothly seeing that I was being dragged somewhere, but I didn’t know that it would be at this level.
There is dust all over the body, there are some minor injuries, and something like that.
The face is so messed up.
Swollen eyes, a nose that must have been worn out from sweeping too much. And the melancholy that still lingers on his face.
“Did you cry? No, what the hell happened to you…!”
And, above all.
Elijah’s ’emotional color’ in her eyes is unusual.
If it was just because I was in a bad mood, I wouldn’t have been so scared.
However, this is the feeling that even that ‘energy’ that I always harbor has been lost.
“…Hey, Trisha.”
Elijah opened his mouth with a drooping voice.
“…I, in fact, am I useless to anyone?”
“…”
It’s a question you might not even know where to start asking.
It must be absurd to begin with the fact that such words come out of the mouth of a candidate for bravery, saying that it is only awarded to those who have the highest talent on the continent at an age that can be said to be young beyond this young age.
“…Would it be okay if I, me, were next to the teacher? Every time I get help, I can’t even help properly…”
A girl who was always upright, full of determination, and energized the people around her.
I’m confused. The color in my heart has gone beyond dingy and is becoming almost sticky soot.
Even the darkness is getting stronger.
“…”
Trisha, who had been speechless at her dumbfoundedness, quickly came to her senses and slapped both cheeks.
Now is not the time to worry about that. Elijah’s condition is really serious.
‘…if I don’t get it right here!’
As someone who can see the color of a person’s emotions, she was acutely aware that this was indeed a ‘red flag’.
Elijah is at a level where people might really change if he manages to cope here, and I can’t just let that happen to my friend!
‘First…’
I don’t know exactly what happened.
I know that I was involved with ‘that person’ this time too.
So, let’s get this clear first.
“Elijah, what exactly are you thinking about him?”
“That person, who…?”
“Mr. Doud Campbell. what do you think of that person? A respectable goal? friend?”
“That, that’s, I’m clearly…”
“Or do you like it?”
Elijah suddenly stopped moving at the cut-and-dried question.
The color in his heart also seemed to have stopped evolving to a blacker color at that time.
“…”
Seeing this, Tricia sighed inwardly.
Although she is not a doctor of love, it can be said that she has observed various people and has mastered to a certain extent in pointing out the ‘pulse’ of relationships.
this is kind of like that
I’m halfway through, but I’ve never had that experience, so I’m wondering if this is really like that.
It is even more certain to see a bright light return to his heart for a moment as soon as he asks if he likes you, even though he is not sure what he is feeling right now.
“…Elijah. Did you say that that person had a right to wish or something?”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s write it down. I can’t.”
“uh? do you write where?”
where to write
“During vacation, a pilgrimage homecoming event.”
Having said that, Trisha jumped up from her seat.
In the meantime, Elijah’s face was burning bright red in an instant.

Just thinking about it made him nervous.
I keep wiggling my whole body.
“Yeah, but, is it okay? What if I refuse?”
“It’s called the right to wish. If you don’t listen, ask. In the first place, you were going to write there from the beginning, so what are you nervous about now?”
Elijah, who saw Trisha talking so bluntly, shut his mouth.
Somehow, today, my friend looks a lot more mature.
In a way, it makes me feel like a great mother.
‘…Maybe this alone isn’t enough.’
And, befitting that look, Trisha was still turning her head tightly, coolly.
I didn’t always see it, but the obsession the student president of Elfante had with a man named Dowd Campbell was simply staggering.
You can’t miss this one, especially if you consider what ‘pilgrimage home’ usually means to Elfante students.
So, if you want to gain an advantage there, you need to bring out a super strong water from this side as well.
“And let’s write a letter too.”
“…uh? what? uh?”
Trisha put a pen in Elijah’s hand, whose eyes were spinning because he couldn’t keep up with the progress, and Trisha, who even set a piece of paper in front of him, said with burning eyes.
“Write what I say.”
Then he took a deep breath and said.
“receiver. Marquess Kendride.”
Elijah opened his mouth wide.
●
“You don’t look good, Daud.”
Atalanta spoke from the other side in a worried voice.
“I heard that you were seriously injured not too long ago. If it’s hard to concentrate, it seems like it’s better to take a break.”
“…no. Fine.”
In fact, there is no particular harm to the body.
that’s just the problem He wipes his face with a slightly pale expression.
I’ve been thinking about it lately, but my ability to improvise is marching high day by day.
That’s because things keep popping up outside the range of my perception and being read there often happens a lot lately.
If things that have nothing to do with my intentions suddenly pop up out of nowhere, it is no longer a big deal to prepare a course of action and guidelines according to them.
＜ System Message ＞
[The target ‘Marquis Kendride’ starts to take an interest in you. ]
[ A related event will be created soon! ]
Give it some breathing room though.
please.
“…”
Marquee Kendride.
Elijah’s adoptive father. A great nobleman who is the eternal rival of Gideon, Grand Duke of Tristan. The strongest paladin of the current generation.
What does this person want to see me again?
“It was really hard this time.”
Atalanta, who had no way of knowing my feelings, sighed and continued.
“The Empire, the Holy Kingdom, and the Alliance of Tribes… the three countries started to take an interest in your future at the same time, and it wasn’t long after that happened that it was a massive terror attack against Elfante. I don’t even remember that such a big incident happened in a row.”
Saying that, the president pushed up his glasses once.
“Nevertheless, I think it is too early to be relieved.”
The words that came out were not serious enough.
“As I said before, the devil worshipers will continue to target you. I think this incident was part of that.”
“…”
“All events will start to revolve around you now. I think there will be something else next time and I think we have to keep busy.”
“…I agree.”
There were quite a few incidents, but if you come to your senses, you’ve only just beaten Chapter 2.
The scenario still has a long way to go, and the Devil’s Bowl issue is still far from being sorted out.
Growing strength in order to survive is something that shouldn’t stop.
Above all.
That guy is the problem.
A woman who suddenly appeared and then disappeared. planet. The head of the devil worshipers.
‘…was that bastard originally a woman?’
I didn’t remember
Of all the scenario elements I can remember so far, only him is outside my ‘knowledge’.
In a world built on this game system where everything else works according to my knowledge, it is the only one that is beyond my expectations.
I don’t know about the other guy.
As much as he is, I can’t even guess what the hell he has in mind and intentions towards me.
“but!”
Also, as if seeing me trying to get lost in thought with a dark expression caught my eye, Atalanta immediately smiled brightly with a bright voice.
“However, people cannot rest at all. Then it breaks down?”
“…Yes?”
“Originally, the vacation is held a little after the midterm exam, but because of the recent raid, the function of the entire academy is temporarily suspended. Since I can’t go to class, I’m just going to ask everyone to take a break early.”
I’m telling you to rest for the time being, too.
The president winked at one of his eyes and continued.
but.
“…I want to rest too.”
That is the meaning of the vacation system.
yes.
But, I’m very unlikely to enjoy that.
“How are you?”
“It’s a pilgrimage homecoming event. Do you know the president?”
“You know… you know?”
The principal tilted his head and replied.
Because it was one of the representative ‘love’ events in the game.
It refers to an event in which students make promises to each other and visit each other’s hometowns during vacation.
Among the nobles inside the empire, what should I say?
In fact, it seems to be treated like a date trip among students.
Although it is not an official event promoted by the academy, I heard that it is treated as a semi-event because it is a tradition that has been passed on for a long time among students. It’s to the extent that the person managing this is also assigned separately.
“…”
Then, he handed over the event-related documents he received from that person to Atalante.
Really, really, the content I didn’t want to do even if I died was written there.
If either of them refused, they would either kill me or commit suicide, so I couldn’t resist, and that’s what came out.
“…is this a joke?”
Atalanta said with a wry smile.
“Elijah Krisanax. Elnor Elinalize La Tristan.”
“…”
“A warrior candidate. Princess Tristan. Even if there is only one of the two of them, the considerable territory will be overturned.”
“…”
“…Going home with these two? Campbell’s ‘Baron’?”
“…”
I hope it’s a joke too.
sincerely.
