158 – Change (6)

When was the first time you met Tyria?

A year ago, she was into ‘Fantasy of Darkness.’

I played the game for twelve hours a day.

Still, it took quite a long time to meet Tyria.

Also, unlike Celica, who easily joined her colleagues.

We had to go through a difficult process to recruit Tyria as her colleague.

Therefore, Tyria is a character with affection in her own way.

Of course, not as much as Erina and Kayla right now.

So let her ask for help first.

“Can you accept me as her colleague…?”

Her overwhelming emotions bloomed in her heart.

This world was not just a world in a game.

Additionally, Tyria could no longer be seen as a character in the game.

I didn’t expect someone like that to say he wanted to be with me.

“Do you really want to come with us?”

“Yes. Seohyun, you are planning to subdue the devil, right?”

She had already told Tyria her purpose.

To convince her to drop her Chloe.

I even let them know that I have the goddess’ protection.

If you are with me, you will know how much suffering there will be.

Nevertheless, Tyria made a decision.

“I want to meet the Spirit King.”

“…Really?”

“Yes. “It doesn’t matter if I face enemies.”

The reason she wants to meet the Spirit King.

Why do you want to face them, even if you have to face them head-on?

“Chloe was close to the Spirit King.”

“Chloe…?”

“Yes. “Unlike me, my sister is excellent at elemental magic and magic.”

Was Chloe related to spirits?

I didn’t remember all the information in the game either.

This may have been mentioned in passing text in the first episode.

You may have simply forgotten it because you thought it was trivial information.

“My sister often talked to the spirit kings.”

Chloe did not abuse or persecute the spirits.

Looking at her like that, Tyria would have trusted Chloe.

Perhaps the Spirit King knows how Chloe betrayed him.

Tyria seems to have thought so.

“I’m sure the Spirit Kings know Chloe’s older sister.”

“So what are you going to do when you meet?”

Tyria closed her mouth in response to my question.

She herself could not easily open her mouth, perhaps because she was confused.

“Do you want to know why Chloe betrayed you?”

“…Yes.”

In fact, she may also be vaguely predicting it.

But does she want to hear the truth directly from the Spirit King?

“Please. “I want to be with you too.”

As we have already faced and fought against the Demon King’s army.

I knew how much suffering would come if you were with me.

Nevertheless, Tyria wanted to fight the Demon King with me.

“It’s really dangerous. “If you’re not careful, you might die.”

“I’ve already made up my mind.”

“Even if you meet the Spirit King, you may not get an answer.”

“But it’s okay.”

No matter how many times you ask the question, the answer will be the same.

She was what I had hoped for in the first place, and this is what she wanted too.

Kayla and Serica have already tacitly agreed to this.

Erina will do her best to interfere, but she has already surpassed the majority.

Still, she turned around and looked at her colleagues, just in case.

“Is everyone going to be okay?”

Then Celica smiled brightly with a bright expression.

“I like it. If you are Tyria, you are welcome.”

Kayla smiled brightly and agreed.

“I like it too.”

And there is only one person left.

“Erina. Are you fine?”

“…”

She did not open her mouth until the end.

Even though she already knew that she couldn’t stop Tyria.

Could it be that she couldn’t agree with her own mouth?

She could be said to have virtually abstained.

“Erina. “Let’s talk with me later.”

“Yes…”

Except for Erina, all the remaining members agreed.

There was not one person who opposed her.

I smiled and held out her hand to Tyria.

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

“Yes, yes! Thank you…!”

She was really surprised, but she didn’t think she would get permission.

But soon his expression brightened and he shook my hand.

That’s how Tyria joined us.

All my colleagues gathered together as I had hoped.

“So you will accept that elf as her companion?”

Catalina laughed and pounded the table.

“It looks gentle, but its core is lustful.”

“Don’t misunderstand. Tyria is just her companion.”

“Then what about the women right next to me?”

Two people who always stay by my side. Erina and Kayla.

These were exceptions because they were people I loved.

“No way, even a little nun…”

“Well, it’s still a good thing! Having an elf with you will definitely help!”

Malcolm suddenly interrupts his conversation unnaturally.

Since the last time I sparred with Erina and Catalina.

Malcolm was quite wary of Erina.

Even after losing in sparring, there is no way Catalina’s rude attitude will change.

Malcolm was doing her hard work on her behalf.

“Don’t suddenly intervene. Malcolm.”

Catalina also frowned, as if she was in a bad mood.

He drank his drink and quenched his appetite, wondering if he was truly angry.

As I surveyed the atmosphere and saw Malcolm smiling innocently, I felt sorry for him.

Even though Catalina made her feel rotten to the core every day, she was never truly away from her.

Also, Catalina never pushed Malcolm away.

This was possible because we felt comfortable with each other.

“But I’m glad. “The negotiation with the elf ended successfully and I became her colleague.”

“Yes. Now all that remains is to return to the capital.”

Finally, the long-awaited break.

I planned to relax in the capital for about a month without overdoing it.

“What do you guys plan to do?”

“Well. “Nothing has been decided yet, but Julia will let you know.”

In the past, I would wander around the village and hunt down any monsters I could find.

Now that he is a member of the Adventurer’s League, he plans to stay in the capital.

“Anyway, why don’t I get a knighthood? “I don’t understand.”

Catalina grumbles while gulping down beer in succession.

Unfortunately, she did not receive a knighthood.

To be honest, she also contributed a lot to stopping the Demon King’s army.

Strangely enough, I was the only one who received a knighthood.

“Don’t be too disappointed. “The way I see it, you too.”

In terms of her skills, she was enough to receive a knighthood.

Also, since Julia is working hard for us, it will only be a matter of time.

“By the way, don’t you receive a gift from the kingdom when you receive a knighthood?”

Malcolm asked her, his voice full of curiosity.

It seems that he thought that as he reached a high position, he would receive great benefits and power.

But the reality was just the opposite.

“No, there’s nothing in particular.”

“Yes? “But isn’t there something there?”

“Nothing. “Just get a knighthood and that’s it.”

Then Malcolm laughed as if he was dumbfounded.

Of course, she wasn’t really receiving anything.

A salary that is no more than pennies and a room in the driver’s quarters.

In reality, it was nothing more than a benefit.

Compared to that, the responsibility that followed was too heavy.

Pressure from high-ranking people and complaints from countless citizens.

Every day, they are taken to the battlefield and forced to make sacrifices to protect their country.

This happened to Erina already in the first episode.

This is why I was not very happy about being knighted.

‘Still, it’s impossible not to receive it at all.’

In the first place, it was strange that it went unnoticed since two of the Four Great Blades had been subdued.

Rather, it could be said that it was received quite late.

“Still, respect from people…”

“What is respect? “I’m glad you don’t swear.”

Without realizing it, harsh words came out.

Then Malcolm seemed to sense my feelings and kept his mouth shut.

“I would rather return it, but I have no choice.”

“Then can’t you ask me to hand it over?”

Catalina tried to sneak in.

“A knighthood is not a thing. “There’s no way it’s possible.”

“Sheesh. “If that’s the case, just give it to me.”

Anyway, why is Catalina so obsessed with her title?

When I asked the reason, Catalina looked at me with a grin.

He slowly got up from his seat with a face full of mischief.

Isn’t it suddenly lifting the top you are wearing?

“Nu, sister! What are you doing now…?!”

Before Malcolm could stop her, Catalina’s stomach was already exposed.

A black badge revealed between the collar.

She was also a person who received the protection of her goddess.

“Okay. “Did you see it?”

As soon as I nodded her head, Catalina immediately took down her top.

Beside her, Malcolm sighed and let out her frustration.

“Sister! “How many times have I…!”

“You’re noisy, Malcolm. Are you planning on attracting people’s attention?”

This is a quiet restaurant in Tarn Village.

Since there were very few people, there was no need to attract attention.

The restaurant owner was still standing at the counter.

Malcolm had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

In the end, he folded his hands and bowed his head in front of us.

“Please, please. “Can you keep it a secret?”

“Yes. Don’t worry.”

Of course, this fact should be kept secret.

In the first place, Catalina probably showed us proof because she trusted us.

She had no intention of disappointing her expectations, so she decided to keep quiet.

“So what is your goal?”

“Of course he is the devil.”

It was as expected.

Because she is the main character’s rival.

Just like us, he was aiming for the devil.
