I Became the Snow Woman I Made

25 – False God (2)

The house of the housekeeper.

It is not as luxurious as the boudoirs of nobles seen in the movies, but it is spacious and clean. No matter how big a city-state is, the powerful are the powerful… I thought for a while.

I blinked and looked at the girl in front of me.

“…I can see why Sohrab used that expression.”

She said something incomprehensible and introduced herself as Lassithea Crasse. Behind me, a man named Sohrab, whom I had seen earlier, was standing up.

She, the head of Krasse, is the head of the family who has been looking for me.

Contrary to expectations, it was a woman. Besides, he was young.

Only then did I realize that I had misunderstood something.

There weren’t two ruling families in Euristia. At least, I couldn’t consider it because the only family members I had contact with were fat and skinny.

My whole body lost strength along with Ando, but I pulled it up again right after.

Still, it’s all the same. If it weren’t for those two, there wouldn’t be any more reason to find me.

As I looked at it, Lassithea smiled.

“It looks like you’re inconvenient because you brought it on your own. I apologize. But if you’ve come this far, you seem willing to talk, is that right?”

I was a little cautious, perhaps misunderstanding my expression.

I was brought here because I wanted to talk and I didn’t want to die.

However, the treatment was not bad than I thought. It may be a pretense, but let’s respond.

“I’m going to die.”

I felt like I was answering for no reason.

Just be quiet. No one else but the head of household, even the family’s main house, to quarrel.

I broke out in a cold sweat. Although there is no way to flow.

The corners of Rashi Thea’s eyes trembled for a moment at the razor-like cold reaction, but she soon smiled.

“···You’re straightforward. Well, the introduction was a bit long. So go straight to the main point as you wish······ Are you the owner of this monster?”

She was a girl with excellent emotional control for her age.

Her slender fingers pointed at the music box on her table. Music that flows quietly.

It was the ‘Heavenly Music Box’ I wrote in the deal.

I couldn’t even pay attention to the situation, so why is this here?

I obviously gave it to the merchant Maurice.

“I didn’t give this to you.”

A sharp point that came out unintentionally.

The slender girl in front of me would surely be embarrassed. However, Rashi Thea did not waver despite her outward appearance.

She just wore the dignity of a ruler and spoke softly.

“Sorry for him, but this isn’t something a mere merchant would have. It was necessary for the city and to prevent chaos.”

It was obvious that the eyes were motionless.

She was almost fooled for a moment by the tone, which seemed to be reciting self-evident facts.

This kid, being impudent is not normal.

No matter how great the music box is, what a great thing it is. I stole legitimately traded products for my own self-interest and it was necessary.

It was as if he could hear Maurice wailing.

I was shaken by the good impression, but the setting doesn’t lie. The record of corruption in two or three families is correct.

Even if you don’t covet women’s looks, your lust for things may be beyond your imagination.

“You’re right.”

I meant indirect recognition.

Lash Thea, her eyes shining, bombarded her with questions one after another.

“What is the principle of the music box? Who made it? Where did it come from and how many are there?”

His attitude changed from calm to excited.

A masterpiece of a music box with the motif of the sun and moon. A warm melody that expressed the sun rang out.

“Too many questions.”

“Ah… I’m sorry.”

The girl calmed down again.

I struggled.

I thought about it, but I really didn’t have anything to say.

The Celestial Music Box is an event item and only one per user can be obtained.

If you ask where you got it, you cheat the game, and the principle? Does anyone ask for that in game items?

Apparently, the girl liked the performance of the music box. The insert song is good, and it’s worth it because it plays automatically.

It looks like they want more, but let’s tell them the truth.

“I can’t find it.”

“Yes?”

“No more, nobody.”

I told you not to have hope.

Lasitea stayed still, then she stared into my eyes.

His attitude suddenly calmed down.

“…That seems to be true.”

There was a sign of disappointment and regret.

I was immediately convinced and rather embarrassed. If you wanted it that way, wouldn’t it be normal to ask a few more times?

It’s nice not to argue.

“So where do you get this?”

“I got it before.”

“You got it?”

“It was a long time ago. There’s no one to give it to anymore.”

There is no developer in this world to host the event.

But Lasithea looked at me in dismay.

“Are you… The hell…?”

It was a surprised face. I tilted my head.

I didn’t say anything surprising.

Are you sensitive because you are a child?

Lashtea kept her mouth shut and Sohrab was silent.

A clear melody soaked the room where the unexpected silence fell.

The real Lassithea changed the topic.

“…Do you know about the snake god who has taken over the city?”

I couldn’t help but know.

“Roughly.”

“They call such beings ‘false gods’.”

It was an extremely serious tone.

Her black hair was pushed back behind her, she said.

“It is said that it originated from the study of the theologian Sir Agnatsu. It must have been heard directly from his disciple.”

It was Agnatsu again.

Was he more famous than I thought?

Judging from the fact that he named the miscellaneous gods a false god, it seems that he has quite the ability.

“How about that?”

“I heard you slaughtered the Snake God’s family?”

Is it Shigira’s report?

She nodded as she nodded as she was right.

The girl pursed her lips for a moment, as if choosing her words, then spoke her mind.

“I don’t know who you are. I wonder how you got such power. But my situation is very desperate.”

At that point, I realized what I was going to say.

Because of this, I had to tilt my head once more.

Didn’t all the corrupt family heads take advantage of the snake god?

Are factions divided among them, or have they fallen into some kind of misunderstanding?

Either way, my answer was the same.

“If you would like to help subdue the snake god…”

“No.”

He hit the player and refused with a single knife.

As others say, no matter how badass you are, that’s an abnormal monster.

There are artifacts and it is worth doing, but it was dangerous.

Lasithea smiled weakly.

“…Is that so?”

Silence returned.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, the melody changed to a dark atmosphere.

She asked quietly.

“Mr. Quilière, what does it mean to be earnest?”

It was a bit out of the blue.

“Are you desperate to think about that day and night?”

A dangerous smile shimmered like a haze.

I don’t know the circumstances, but I wonder if I’ve suffered a lot from the snake god.

She didn’t know the meaning, so she just answered intuitively.

“There is a difference between intrusive thinking, obsession, and desperation.”

“······You’re saying difficult things.”

She looked around her room in a sudden thought.

This is the housekeeper’s room. Gorgeous. This young girl was the head of a family.

I don’t know what happened. Why am I here

It’s just a city that I’ve just passed by, and I haven’t made contact with anyone in particular. He had come here entirely by the command of the head of state.

Is this a situation that has pushed me to the point where I can catch myself who has left like the wind?

“My childhood was all about darkness.”

“Darkness?”

“Yes. . . . That’s why I’m so afraid of the flimsy hope that came to me out of nowhere. If even that fails, I think it will really be the end.”

Before I knew it, the girl’s voice contained earnestness.

The moment her tone changed a little, she was struck by a straight gaze uncharacteristic of a girl.

“That’s why… I’m asking you, who is a mystery to everything. In order to increase the possibility even a little.”

I felt uncomfortable with her words.

Increase even a little possibility?

This word is like…

Smart-

Then a knock was heard.

When the family head gave permission, the servant of the family entered and bowed. He reported

“Sir Anasha and the regulars of the Duke of Griffeon have sortied.”

Unknowingly, I was startled.

Rash*thea, on the other hand, nodded, and she was able to grasp the situation in a split second.

Anasha successfully got reinforcements. Moreover, it seems that she has already returned and finished preparations for the subjugation of the snake god.

It wasn’t a bad development.

If she takes care of it, it will be comfortable for me and the city will be peaceful.

But what is this ominous thing?

“Griffeon?”

I’ve heard of it, but I don’t know much about it.

However, if he was a duke, his prestige would be great, needless to say the inaction of a regular soldier there.

Beyond a mere appointing knight, he is a regular knight belonging to a ducal family.

It’s questionable how he brought the duke’s henchmen, but that wasn’t the point.

When I urgently asked for an explanation, Lassithea responded.

“The subjugation will be carried out with the leader of the knights, Sir Salun, as the main axis. The number of members is Sir Anasha, a wizard specializing in wind, and six regular knights, including Sir Salun.”

Regular 6.

Those words lingered in my ears like an echo.

The judgment was quick. That doesn’t work.

A regular knight of the duke’s family would surely be strong, but a hero was needed to catch an opponent with divine power.

I didn’t get the artifact for nothing.

Because even I, who had an overwhelming match advantage, was an opponent with no answer.

······Subjugation will fail.

There is no big problem up to that point. There will be casualties, but I said that I would rather take care of myself than ten people.

If it was about ten people, it would have been.

“…No way.”

“Yes?”

A chill ran down my back.

Although the six regular knights couldn’t kill the snake god, they were enough to intimidate them. That’s the problem.

If you can’t kill him… You shouldn’t give him a sense of danger.

“Mr. Quilière?”

As I jumped to my feet, Lassi Thea expressed her doubts. She didn’t have time to react.

I really didn’t want to, but I had to go.

Maybe it’s just an old woman’s mind and nothing special. It was necessary to check the situation.

Since there are relics, there won’t be any big problems.

The Catalyst, tightly gripped, emitted blue light.

I immediately turned my back.

“…A snake god. There are really many strange things in the world.”

The last rope that Anasha went to. Her bullies looked up at her with her complicated eyes.

Her dark green hair flowed softly.

“So you need my help?”

I couldn’t remember what she said.

I just earnestly asked Bullyze, who appeared while being chased by the duke’s privates, as earnestly as possible.

I don’t remember the strange words she said, but the girl’s face was clear.

She was smiling.

It was a blurry smile.

“······Okay, I’ll help you. Only on my own authority and discretion. I’ll pay off grace and debt at once.”

Anyasa thought that the girl had become much more mature. It might have been because of her. She

She didn’t ask for an explanation. Bullyze also straightened up the staff without a long word.

Before I knew it, there were six regular knights in front of me.

I was overdeserved and embarrassed.

Each one of them was greater than himself, who had a reputation as an adventurer.

However, I did not reject it. Because she said she wouldn’t save face anymore.

“Thank you, Anasha.”

Bully Je’s eyes were indifferent as if something had been cut off her.

Anasha turned around after bowing her head in her depth.

After she arrived in Euristia, she went to visit the head of Krase.

Because she too knew the corruption of her two families.

“I will deploy soldiers at the mouth of Oesan. Good luck.”

The young patriarch, who somehow resembles Bullyze, readily accepted. The snake god was a nuisance, so there was no reason to oppose it.

The subjugation of the snake god itself is entrusted to seven people, but it was decided to release the number of people in preparation for a disturbance.

“I’m reluctant.”

“I agree with you, Leon.”

After some maintenance time.

They had entered the outer mountain where the snake god was coiled.

Saloon glared at the forest on the other side where demons were overflowing.

“Did you say that it’s over 15 meters in diameter and that you have servants?”

“There’s not even a tolerable weaponry that can scratch it. That’s about what has been revealed so far.”

At Anasha’s nervous tone, her knights exchanged glances with her. Saloon stroked his chin.

“I’ll leave it to you. If you’re a magician, you’ll be good at dealing with the majority. When the magician disappears, the family disappears… Hold on until we defeat him.”

“Okay.”

“The enormous size is a great weapon in itself, but… I’ve cut down a lot of monsters like that. Don’t worry. The real problem is that the sword doesn’t work well.”

Saloon snorted and unleashed his spell.

A bright light burned on the blade.

“The soldiers in the city couldn’t handle swordsmanship. The scales must be hard enough to be scales, so there’s no problem.”

“I see…”

It was definitely different from the warriors so far.

Anasha drew hope.

Trembling. The leaves and weeds swayed as the group walked.

As if to be wary of intruders, the grass bugs chirped. It appeared when the dark magic wrapped itself around the body.

It was the snake god.

Wow!

Along with the unpleasant cry of the snake, one of its arms slammed the party in front.

It was fearsomely powerful, but the knights responded calmly.

“It’s a bastard!”

At the sound of the start, the lights on the sword bodies all at once turned on. Without avoiding the head of the rushing snake god, he confronted it.

Swords enchanted with magic aimed at the snake’s neck, and a knight flew through the air.

“Leon!”

Then the knights felt that something was wrong.

It wasn’t because of Leon’s injury. It was faster than expected, but I knew there would be injuries, and it was within the expected range.

However, the snake god was fine.

The swordsmanship was limited to inflicting scratches.

【Insect-like things…】

An aura that oppresses the whole body.

The knights knew that this was the voice of God. Displeasure and irritation lingered in his voice.

Even after being hit with a sword that cut off the skin of any monster, it was just the reaction.

Actually, that was natural.

The weak divine power turned an ordinary snake into a god. It means that the body has been greatly strengthened.

The sword and spear method was the act of breaking a rock with an egg.

However, the knights who did not know that fact were reluctant.

“Everyone back off!”

A sharp wind blew.

The snake god’s skin, which could not be pierced even with sword swordsmanship, was intact, but many of the black snakes that came out were decapitated.

The knights took a step back.

“Sir Saloon. Now how…”

“Raise the sword’s output to its maximum. It doesn’t mean that the attack won’t go in, so we’ll poke that gap.”

The light of the sword became stronger.

The magic passed through the sword and spread throughout the body, dyeing their eyes blue.

Knights jumped into the black waves. Anasha assisted with magic.

······Maybe the snake god was more monstrous than expected.

I was confident, but was it too much of an overconfidence?

I was filled with anxiety, but I couldn’t turn it back.

Untimely melee. The knights walked sideways and slashed their swords.

The snake god’s skin was cut more easily than before.

At that moment, the roaring snake god bit Saloon.

“Sir Saloon!”

Wooddeuk. With an ominous noise, the saloon swayed to and fro with the beat of its head.

However, he was a real exhaust engineer.

Despite his broken bones, he wielded the sword with superhuman mental strength.

【Kieek-!】

The tongue-slit snake god twisted his body.

An earthquake occurred in the forest area as the huge body rolled over.

A knight helped Saloon, who was barely freed. He vomited hard.

“…Retreat.”

“Yes?”

Anasha was taken aback.

“Retreat? What is that-“

“I felt it the moment I cut my tongue. This job is not suitable for a knight. It’s the wrong cutting edge.”

“That’s why…”

Anasha’s eyes trembled.

From noble mtl dot com

Her opinion didn’t matter, and the knights immediately kicked the ground. The wire quickly receded.

As I got a glimpse of the city, I heard a scream.

“Kyaaah!”

It was the scream of the city people.

People would be blurry at this distance, but the snake god’s huge body stood out.

The sound made Saloon shudder.

“If we do something wrong, the city will be damaged. Here, for now…”

His words didn’t go any further.

Because the snake god charged into the city.

“······!”

Without even looking at Anasha, who opened her mouth in shock, the snake god roared.

Her eyes shimmered with a red light that hadn’t been there before. It was a ‘gwanghwa’ that is manifested when miscellaneous gods feel a crisis.

Anger eats reason.

Only a merciless massacre could appease the gods. Judgment towards foolish creatures.

It was the wrong nature of a god who did not gain divine prestige.

“Damn it, it’s coming this way!”

“Crazy…!”

The soldiers waiting at the beginning aimed their bows with shaking hands. They resented the governor.

There was no mention of risking one’s life.

Countless waves of snakes.

The snake god, which was faster than that, slid down and crashed into the guard post at the entrance.

Soldiers fell, and the city turned into chaos in an instant.

“How, how did this happen…!”

Anasha chewed her lips until her blood bleed.

It was because of himself. Whatever her intentions, she was a disaster of her own making.

The snake god, who lost his temper, would have been satisfied with turning the city into a mess.

I didn’t step out for nothing.

Because he dared to subdue the gods with a human body, the divine punishment fell upon him.

She was resentful of herself and the sky.

Is it so wrong to protect the city you love? Were all the efforts he had made, almost begging a young girl, for nothing?

Why did heaven send a curse on the city? Could God be the main culprit of sin?

······There was no salvation in the world.

Desperate, Anyasa shook her head.

I wanted to close her eyes and ears and disappear somewhere. Then you will be free from this terrible roar.

Terrible roar·······.

“… Huh?”

It was quiet.

I couldn’t hear the roar of the snake god, the sound of black snakes snarling, or the screams and cries of citizens.

Did she go deaf? It was at that moment that she raised her head.

“Oh.”

I felt something cold on my cheek and took her hand.

It was snow. It was very cold.

Her eyes widened as she looked up at the sky.

It was heavy snow. The sun, which had risen just before, had disappeared from her.

It was a scene in my memory, but it was more majestic and vast than it was then.

Anasha looked down blankly. It was not difficult for her to answer the question.

I just had to follow everyone’s eyes.

“·······.”

Past the baby snakes frozen in the cold, the snake god’s ferocious eyes. Following the eyes of the confused citizens, she was there.

Jerking around. A strong wind brought snow.

On that cold battlefield, she walked alone.

Just like everyone else, Anasha just looked at her.

Quilière, a lofty and alluring woman, calmly approached the snake god.

The blue crystal in her hand gave off a dazzling light.
