20 – Unwanted Colleagues (3)

“So,”

I was dreaming after a long time, and heaven was right in front of me.

A stinging light was shining in the misty space.

It was filled with a gloomy energy rather than a pious or grand feeling.

It’s still a mess around.

The ruined temple and corpses. The goddess was still hanging from her throne.

However, she faced me with a brighter expression than before.

It was rather sad to have to laugh in a full-blown state.

“Erina found out about Gaho.”

The goddess nodded her head as if she had already expected it.

She looked at me with a rather detached attitude and was smiling.

“I’ve already made up my mind to do it. But I thought it was an essential skill for you.”

It’s a necessary skill. It was true that the protection of the goddess was needed to kill the demon king.

But the penalty was too much for that.

There are many reasons why those who receive protection are publicly rejected by people.

“You mean it.”

“Yes…?”

“Do you know what kind of being you are on the earth that goes up and down in people’s mouths?”

I expected you to know it to some extent.

If you looked around the world and looked at the people’s feelings, anyone could know.

But unexpectedly, the goddess shook her head.

“Actually, I don’t know. It’s my job to bring blessings to people. Other than that…”

“So you don’t know?”

I sighed in frustration.

I didn’t know that she was such a dark-eyed person.

I couldn’t tell if I was pitiful or stupid.

In a good way, it can be said that he is a person who is faithful to his duties, and in a bad way, he is a person with a narrow view.

The trust of the goddess among people is close to the worst.

There is no respect, but only a lot of malice.

“The god who hides in the heavens and sits on the sidelines and passes the responsibility on to humans.”

You can tell just by looking at what kind of treatment a person who has received Goddess’ protection right now is treated.

Even they resent the goddess.

“The church is a group of beggars who are blind to the goddess. The reality is that the kingdom is also virtually neglecting the goddess’ faith.”

Her expression, which had been brightened by my words, darkened in an instant.

I didn’t mean to say it intentionally.

I’m just telling the truth.

The world is ruined by the Demon King. Goddess doesn’t help.

In fact, if I stayed still, I got less swearing.

When a curse is cast under the guise of protection, the goddess is treated like an evil god among people.

“You didn’t know until now?”

“I’m a little shocked…”

I tried to comfort the voice that sounded hurt, but I gave up.

If you think about it, right away I was her victim.

“I’ve already received protection, so I can’t help it, but be careful next time.”

“I thought Gaho would give people hope.”

If the goddess had been unharmed, she would have hit her head once.

If she looked around the world for a bit, she wouldn’t have known what was going on.

According to what people say, it was true that he was really ignorant.

But there was no malice, so I decided to put up with it.

“Anyway, have you been hanging around all this time?”

“Yes, but there was one harvest.”

The goddess directed her gaze to the back of her throne.

Beyond the collapsed temple, there was a jewel emitting a green light.

Did you say ‘system’? I couldn’t figure out exactly what it was either.

I’ve never seen such an object in the game.

The goddess explains that it is the basis of maintaining the world, but I do not know anything about it.

“The system allowed us to cause some interference in the fate of the world.”

“What do you mean?”

“It means that I was able to help you, at least indirectly.”

“Help?”

I couldn’t understand the goddess’ words.

Have you ever been helped by her?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of it.

“Have you already met her?”

When I heard the word of the goddess, there was a person who instinctively came to my mind.

“The nameless dragon.”

I didn’t expect her to suddenly come out of her goddess’ mouth.

Actually, there were so many strange things.

In the first round, the character who appeared as the boss suddenly popped out.

From noble mtl dot com

It wasn’t even an enemy.

Helped her and killed Alfred, the demon king executive with her.

Since her, even her saved her, she became my colleague.

It was too contrived to be called a coincidence.

“What did you do?”

“A special bond. I thought it would definitely be helpful.”

Are you talking about perks? When I think about it, I sensed something strange from there.

In a situation where a skill or item should appear, a skill that has never been seen before suddenly appeared.

At first I thought I was out of luck.

But as time passed and the nameless dragon appeared, I realized that it was an unusual skill.

“I never imagined it was what you did.”

The goddess didn’t know what the structure of the jewel was, but she knew how to use it. She explained that she was able to use some shortcuts thanks to her.

“But there is no guarantee that interference will always result in good results.”

In this case, he said that it was possible because he clearly predicted the outcome and was confident that it would be helpful.

“And there was a price.”

“A price?”

Check the bottom of the jewel.”

As usual, it is a gem that emits a mysterious light.

It looked like there was no problem.

As the goddess said, I looked closely at the lower part.

It was then that I was able to find a sense of incongruity.

There was a crack that had never been found before.

“I hope it won’t break.”

“If you abuse it too much, it’s possible.”

“What will happen if the jewel is broken.”

“…The truth is, you will never go back to your original world.”

Her spirit was lit up. You can’t go back to the original world forever.

It should never happen in such a situation.

I wanted to get out of this hellish world right away.

For that, the goddess and the system were absolutely necessary.

The reason for holding Erina by force is no different.

At least for her, in order to monitor her.

“Only intervene when you think it really helps.”

“Of course. If the system collapses, I won’t be safe either.”

Even though the body is separated, the goddess and I are in the same boat.

I had to somehow figure out her purpose and find a way to return to her original world.

The goddess had to take revenge on her Erina and take back her own world.

“Again, be careful. I don’t know what Erina will do to you.”

“It’s fine. I’m the only one who can handle the system. I’m not going to die.”

There are still so many things I want to say.

If I had time, I wanted to talk slowly.

But my vision was getting blurry.

The time to part has come.

Finally, the goddess let me go with a smile.

“Don’t worry about me. If only you are alive, I will,”

‘There is hope to live.’

“Ummm…”

A sweet moan approached my ear.

I felt a sense of weight and warmth over my body.

Someone was on my body.

I could tell who it was without opening my eyes.

“Erina.”

When I lifted her blanket, she was there as expected.

All of a sudden, he came into the bed and fell asleep on my chest.

Sleep with her eyes closed, she looked like an infinitely soft and warm girl.

It is no exaggeration to say that the scene shown with the moonlight coming down through the window is a scene of art.

‘Is it unreasonable to expect to see only this kind of image?’

If I open my eyes like this, I will return to the Erina I remember.

You will turn into a person who is obsessed with me, gossips about colleagues, and is wary of others.

However, can I not see Erina as I expected, even just once?

Maybe I’m asking for too much.

“Seohyun.”

I heard someone calling my name.

Surprised, I looked to the side and saw an unnamed dragon sitting on the bed, awake.

Erina whispered in a quiet voice so as not to wake up.

“Did you not sleep?”

“No. It just happened.”

The nameless dragon put his hand on his head with a dark expression.

He took a breath and wiped the sweat from his head.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes. I just had a little nightmare…”

You seem to have had a very painful dream.

It must have been quite painful if a cold sweat flowed.

“Can I bring you some water?”

You can get a sip of water by going downstairs.

But she shook her head at my words.

Instead, he got up from the bed and beckoned to me. It was a sign of a request to get up.

“Can you come out with me for a moment?”

“Now?”

The moon was high in the sky beyond the window.

It is still early in the morning until the sun rises.

If you call me when you need to sleep for a long time, there must be a reason.

Let’s talk together without Erina. Maybe that’s the intention.

“Wait a minute.”

He carefully raised his body. Erina got out of bed slowly so as not to wake up.

Fortunately, Erina did not wake up.

“I’ll take the robe and go down.”

She nodded her head and went to the door first.

She quietly opened the door and stepped out.

As expected, there was no one downstairs.

I was worried that the door might be locked, but luckily it was open.

When I opened the door, the cold night air passed.

‘It’s a star I haven’t seen in a long time.’

When was the last time you saw such a bright night sky?

The stars twinkled beautifully in the sky.

She realized that she hadn’t even had time to look up at the sky.

The nameless dragon immediately followed me.

I was wearing the robe I bought.

“Is the size right?”

“Yes. Just in case you are aware of it, we are still maintaining the cognitive impairment magic, but I don’t think there will be any concerns about his identity being revealed.”

This is a robe I found at the magic tool shop.

I was relieved to hear that there is a magic that distracts the eyes.

“Then where are we going?”

After hesitating her words for a moment, she whispered quietly.

“Do you know a place where there are no people…?”
