Chapter 182 – Wrath and Gluttony
Raine was being her usual self .
Instead of contacting her parents, she decided to focus on research instead .
No other choice, I had to be the one to inform Mugan .
I asked Seto to prepare a fast horse messenger to alert Mugan about his daughter’s well being .
[You really have a lot on your plate . ]
Seto laughed bitterly, before handing the report to his subordinate .
Originally, it was a necessity to inform the capital about all the happenings in Hauzen .
I guess I’m just making more trouble for myself at this rate .
[By the way, I haven’t seen Eris-sama around these days . Do you know where she is going, Fate?]
[Ah... if it’s Eris, she’s looking for a way to get ‘there’]
I looked up, towards the Gallian continent floating in the air .
You can’t simply walk there since it’s floating high in the sky .
If it’s just going there, I could ask Roxy to carry me in her angel mode .
However, using angel mode was taxing for both Roxy and Snow . Using it just as a means of transportation would be a waste .
Moreover, the girls would start complaining if I were to treat them like that .
Therefore, Eris said that she’d go to find a better method .
Though I still had no idea what this ‘better method’ is .
[I just hope it isn’t something too gaudy . ]
[Fate has an unusually low trust in Eris-sama, doesn’t he?]
[Why of course . Looking back, it’s only natural to think that way now . ]
[Can you give me an example?]
[Almost everyday, Eris sneaked into my bed, while naked . Thanks to that, I barely have enough sleep . ]
[What! That’s... I’m jealous!]
Seto seemed to have a little crush on Eris .
I wish he had a better thing to do .
[You! It’s Eris-sama we are talking about . Not only is she the Queen of this Kingdom, she’s also a very beautiful woman . For her to take the initiative, only for you to not react at all, are you really a man? What the hell are you dissatisfied with?!]
[Calm down . You’re talking too fast!]
U~n, at first I was naturally surprised and excited by the naked Eris .
However, humans would grow used to something if it happens everyday .
That also applies to the sight of naked Eris .
I simply grew used to it .
Even if she laid naked on the bed, to me it’s already like a part of the scenery .
[I think she’ll do that again tonight . ]
[Really!? What a luxury... Eris-sama’s naked body! Outrageous! Truly outrageous! What an envy! Please allow me to take your place, please!!]
[Calm down already . ]
Now that I think about it, Seto probably just got affected by Eris’ Lust skill .
The way he reacted made me think so .
Perhaps because Seto showed more respect to Roxy than Eris, the former did it for mischief .
When Eris returns, I really should warn her not to sprinkle her Lust skill around so brazenly .
She might argue that it’s a necessity to maintain her charisma in the eyes of people, but I don’t want her to cause unnecessary confusion within my territory .
Even now, Seto was sighing while calling Eris’ name .
Behind him was a little girl who kept giving him a cold stare .
[Papa... he’s talking about Eris-sama again . ]
[Huh! Ann... it’s not like that...]
It seemed that Seto was forbidden to act enamored at Eris by his own daughter .
A father was being scolded by his young daughter .
What a sad and pitiful scene .
[Didn’t you still have work to do? Just get back to work already . ]
Ann dragged away the dispirited Seto .
Un, they’re having a crisis in their parent-child relationship .
I should really tell Eris to tone down her mischief on Seto .
[Really now, what are you doing at this time . ]
This Her Majesty play of hers is really problematic sometimes .
While I was sighing, somebody suddenly hugged me from behind .
It’s easy to tell who this was, as there’s only one person who’d do this .
Just when I was wondering about her... she’s back .
Though this feels different than usual .
Somehow, the feeling on my back is different .
[The volume is not right...]
Turning around after hearing that voice, I was greeted by the sight of white hair and tanned skin .
She never did this kind of thing before .
Her tremendous strength was spilling out from her hugging hands .
If I don’t do anything, my spine would break for sure .
Even with auto-recovery and auto-recovery boost skill, I doubt the damage could be fixed .
Unable to bear with it anymore, I raised my hands in surrender .
[I give up! I give up! I just mistook you as Eris, that’s all]
[... . . I get it, for now]
She released me before my spine broke .
Fuu~, that was close .
I almost got myself incapacitated even before the upcoming battle on the Gallian continent .
[What’s wrong, doing that all of a sudden?]
[I think I should try to imitate that ero act once in awhile]
[To get rid of her scent . ]
Right! Recently Myne had been quite attached to me for some reason .
At first I thought she was just playing around by acting like a pet cat .
However, she’s actually a tiger with a cat face .
If we’re not careful, crack! That kind of thing could happen .
So I’ve been staying vigilant around her .
It feels like our relationship up until then was not as attached as recently There’s a certain sense of distance between the both of us .
However, that distance disappeared after we managed to win her back .
The girl was quick to be attached to me .
On my part, I’m not used to this kind of closeness yet .
And it’s making me surprised . I wish she’d inform me first before doing something .
Will I get used to this just like with Eris’ naked sleep habit?
Anyways, it’s strange .
[Fate, are you listening?]
Myne looked at me angrily for not listening to her .
If she had the black axe in hand right now, she would’ve already put me skyhigh .
Myne swelled her cheeks like a squirrel .
What’s wrong with her? Thinking so, I unconsciously laughed .
It’s something that has become familiar as of late .
One of the expressions that Myne regained .
After overcoming her past, Myne regained her sense of taste as well as emotions
Saying that she wanted to try something new, she’s been learning how to cook from Roxy . although I always ended up as the taster .
Regardless of her skill in battle, her cooking still needed more effort to say the least .
Myne, while staring at me shyly, said,
[About that time... Fate, what is your answer?]
What Myne said back then... wouldn’t that be... no, that shouldn’t be it .
The other day, I was taking a bath in the mansion .
It somehow became a mixed bath because Myne forced in .
And the girl confessed to me there .
It was probably the only place and time where I would probably be alone . Read complete versıon only at NoveIꜰire.net
But before I could think up an answer, more girls came intruding .
These girls were Roxy, Mimir, Eris, and Snow .
They were complaining why is it okay to have a mixed bath when it’s only with Myne .
In the end, the answer to that confession had to be postponed .
[Is it about the confession back then?]
When I was about to say that, she lightly pressed her finger on my lips first .
Myne simply won’t let me speak any further .
She instead fast-forwards the conversation .
[I don’t hate it . I’m happy . ]
[If so, that’s already enough for now . ]
Myne simply smiled happily without letting me know the answer .
Instead, she replied with wisdom that someone who had lived as long as her would probably get .
[I have all the time in this world . Time was never of consequence . Fate too . ]
Myne said that she had lived for more than 4000 years .
Her long life seems to be related to her possessing the Mortal Sin skill .
In other words, I too could live an incredibly long life .
[I can afford to let Roxy have you now . But in 100 or 200 years, Fate will be mine alone . And we’ll be together forever . ]
Oioi, that’s a very long time in the future .
It’s true that as a normal human being, Roxy wouldn’t be able to live that long .
[It’s for saving me back then . Your karma . ]
[You don’t have to make it sound religious . ]
[Then, law of cause and effect!]
Myne happily hugged me again .
I don’t know what will happen 100-200 years later .
Just as Myne chose to live her life to the fullest now, I also chose to believe that there is a better future ahead of us .
