The Possessor Has No Desire To Be a Protagonist

72. Why didn’t you contact me… ? (One)

I answered roughly from the earliest text message. I had no choice but to answer almost at the level of copy-paste.

Even so, because of the promise he made with Arthur, he responded to texts with Arthur first.

―Sorry, the crystal ball was broken for a while, so the reply was a bit slow. How are you?

I roughly copied and pasted the text like that. how much time has passed

Whoops.

A long reply came from Arthur.

-ah! Ethan, contacted! It’s me, how are you always doing?

already… Half of vacation is over.

not. Is it too negative to say that it’s already half gone?

So let’s think about it! There’s still half a vacation left… .

this crazy

I appoint you as Arthur Pendragon, the King of Positivity.

Anyway, he far surpasses Tesha. If Tesya’s text was twelve lines, Arthur’s text was thirty lines.

And what remained as a reply was a sepia text.

―Why don’t you text me?

-hey! Ethan, where are you now?

Naturally, I had to be the last to reply to Sepia’s text message. An hour had passed by just replying.

-sorry. The crystal ball is broken, so I’m replying with a new one now. Thanks for the late reply overall.

As soon as I sent the text, a reply flew like a knife from Sepia.

-Where are you now?

-It’s a West Class. Where are you?

―You will reply as soon as you see it, right?

There was no reply. I took the crystal ball and headed for the transition stone. Arthur and I decided to meet at the South Barn, the meeting place.

From there, they planned to move to the port city of Eirasban.

I stood near the South Barn’s transition seat and waited for Arthur. Arthur stood out even among the crowd.

He was also a protagonist full of potential.

“Ah, Ethan! A long time. how have you been doing?”

“It’s me, how have you been?”

As expected, Arthur must have grown a lot during that time.

We greeted each other lightly and hurriedly got on the carriage to the port city.

In fact, it was better to stay in the port city rather than South Barn in order to save on accommodation costs.

The sky outside the car window was so blue that it had rained for several days, just looking up at it. It was hot enough to feel that it was summer in the carriage as a whole.

“Oh right. Arthur.”

I handed the ring to Arthur and asked him to appraise it. It was a ring handed down from Master.

Arthur carefully took the ring and examined it.

“The item’s name is ‘Linchester Family’s Lucky Ring’? It increases the wearer’s luck by 30.”

30 or more?

A person like me didn’t have a system like Arthur, so there was almost no way to increase the luck level.

Even in the original game, it was impossible to increase luck with stats, and luck would increase as a reward when completing quests.

This meant that just by wearing it, his luck would increase compared to the current Arthur.

“Are there any other negative factors?”

“Well? There seems to be no effect other than to increase luck?”

If you’re lucky, life will work out for you.

It was a word that could be used on Earth or in another world. Of course, luck is not a universal cheat.

Even Arthur, who was lucky in the original work, was constantly attacked by demons.

“But where did you get it?”

“I just got it from someone I know.”

I thought the story was going to be long, so I kind of glossed over it. How can I dispel the rumor that I had a marriage with Master?

That’s all someone’s behavior to Master. I put on a ring when I smile single single.

* * *

“why… . Why is there no reply… .”

Sepia whined and glanced at the crystal ball. I got in touch with Ethan after almost a month.

“Wait a little longer.”

Vivian sipped the tea. Even during tea time, I laughed at sepia glancing at the crystal ball.

“Really, is this method certain?”

“In the book, it is said that it is effective only when you do ‘pull and hold’.”

push and pull.

Short for push and pull, it refers to the psychological warfare between two people before dating.

‘It’s best to reply in 5 minutes. But leave room.’

No matter how much I thought about it, it was suspicious.

First of all, following Vivian’s words, I gave up trying to reply to Ethan right away and left exactly 5 minutes apart.

-It’s a West Class. Where are you?

So I wanted to answer the text right away, but Sepia held back.

‘ah! I don’t know! Is it 5 minutes now? I’ll reply.’

Sepia couldn’t stand it for 5 minutes and replied in 4 minutes. And there was no response for over an hour.

“I’m sorry… . I’m sorry… . Ethan is also ‘push-pushing’ with me right now, right?”

Sepia paced the room.

The scars on his pride were already there.

“I heard Arthur and Ethan are going to the sea from today?”

It was as if he didn’t even care. Vivian sipped her tea and blinked.

It was the same with Vivian, who was not good at judgment. It was definitely strange.

Then I got a text from Arthur. It was about going to the sea of Eirasban to play with Edan.

What are two men going to do at the beach? Can two men really play together in the sea?

‘It’s summer, so I’d like to play with fire on the beach all night.’

In addition, Eirasban had a festival scheduled to be held soon. When I got to that point, I felt a bit uneasy.

I understand. Ethan, like men of his age, is when he is active. But understanding and acceptance were different things.

“Vivian, come with me. We also go to the sea. I am going to see you now.”

“miss… ?”

It didn’t seem like a good way.

“Even if I regret it, I will do it. I’m going to see you.”

If I acted diligently from now on, I could have reached my destination within this evening. Sepia roughly put the necessary items in the subspace and prepared to leave immediately.

Among them were bikinis.

If you go to the sea, it’s definitely a bikini swimsuit. I was able to show off the sense of volume that I normally hide under my clothes.

‘Honestly, I can’t even compare to Tia and Tesha’s two years.’

Wealth, talent, appearance, power, even body. He prided himself on not having any of them.

“Arthur is yours. That’s why I’m telling you to drop it yourself.”

“yes… ? all right.”

He wanted to walk along the beach with Edan on Arbis Island. Ethan was bedridden due to magical exhaustion, so all his ambitious plans failed.

‘Now is your chance. Now, without Tia or Tesha, is my chance.’

hehehehe. An idiotic smile spread across his lips.

While going on a beach date with Ethan, I had dozens of lists I wanted to make. Sepia intended to achieve all of them this time.

* * *

“We are finally here!”

Arthur got off the wagon and stretched.

The two were able to reach the port city only around evening.

Like a southern coastal city, there were quite a lot of people. Most of them were summer vacationers who visited the sea in the summer.

Besides, starting tomorrow, the ‘Summer Festival’ will be held in Eirasban.

“Shall we get a lodging first?”

“great.”

Ethan took the first step. Because it was a warm beach in the southern region, there were many people in light clothes.

The sea breeze mixed with a subtle salty smell.

Is it because it is the day before the festival?

Everyone was strangely excited. The two women who had visited Eirasban for the festival were also busy looking away.

The two adventurers Yuna and Lia had been visiting the sea for the first time in a long time. The last time I visited the sea was already three years ago.

“Hey, crazy jackpot! it’s Yuna Look over there.”

“Wow, Mr. that crazy bitch. But are you a Nadia Academy student?”

Two boys with blonde hair and black hair were passing in front of them. If the blonde hair had a boyish appearance, the black hair was sharper and more masculine.

“Hey, that’s rather good. You’ll make good money when you graduate.”

“I admit that. Wow, that’s a real bitch.”

“At this point, it’s a pregnancy attack.”

“Foot, you crazy bitch.”

As expected from their profession as adventurers, the conversation between the two was unstoppable. The two looked at each other and smiled. After all, festivals are meant to be enjoyed.

And they also seemed to have come with two men. It seemed that they needed a partner to enjoy the festival together.

“let’s go. I like blondes. you?”

“Hey, Yuna, you crazy bitch. Anyway, I like guys like parasitic brothers. I don’t have eyes for men. A man should be a man.”

Yuna shrugged her shoulders as if it were absurd.

“Seed teeth. From now on, I’m innocent, cutie and s*xy. It’s a mode change.”

“Ugh. really crazy boy All men will run away if they know the real face.”

Hmmmm, clearing his throat, Yuna immediately charged at the two. Yuna pretended to be innocent and brushed her hair on the side.

“excuse me. older brothers. We came with two women and we were scared… . Could you please walk with me for a moment? Until you choose a place to stay.”

In fact, the place to stay was chosen a long time ago. However, Leah nodded enthusiastically from the side.

“Right! It’s embarrassing when scary-looking people keep talking to me. Can you two pretend to be together for a while while walking together?”

If he approves, you can buy him a drink as a thank you. After buying alcohol, everything was prosperous.

It’s just a matter of holding on to the man you’re in charge of and enjoying it.

“Ah, that must be difficult. What should I do?”

The blond man laughed a little embarrassed. Yuna’s intuition worked. This kind of man is kind and has a personality that can’t be rejected.

Arthur glanced at Ethan. The black-haired man didn’t seem too repulsive either.

‘ah… , I feel like it would be annoying. Is this all because of Arthur’s probable face in the festival buff?’

Edan needed to move according to plan. In such a situation, it would be difficult for two women to be involved.

On the third day of the festival, there was work to be done at the ‘Sleeping Giant’s Bar’. If things go awry there, you will be ruined.

In the original story, Arthur moved in with Sonny.

And Sonny cut all the women who approached like a knife.

‘That was only possible because Sonny was the reincarnation of Son Goku.’

In other words, Sonny’s body was a monkey and had no interest in human women. That said, if you were interested in monkeys, that wasn’t it either.

‘After all, throughout the novel, Sonny plays the part as a high, no, as*xual.’

However, it was an ambiguous offer that could not be rejected coldly.

“All right. We move together only while we find lodging.”

In the end, Ethan agreed.

Yuna and Ray pretended to be cute and nodded their heads. Soon, the four of them set out to find a place to stay.

For a while, the four of them walked down the street chatting about this and that.

Eventually, the party entered a suitable lodging.

Squeak!

ah… . Ethan opened the door and wanted to close it. In the center of the inn stood a very angry pink-haired woman. It was sepia.

“Go away when I say nice things. I can really kill everyone… . ah… . What’s wrong Vivian?”

Vivian, who was beside her, hit Toxepia with her elbow.

Sepia’s gaze naturally followed Vivian to the entrance. Soon, Ethan’s eyes met.
