I Lost My Memory and Had Too Many S-Class Girlfriends - Chapter 201



201 – Meeting (Complete)

“To cut to the chase, the important thing is to reach the top first, right?”

I stared blankly at Edelin’s face as she began to speak with a bright smile.

As she said, the most important thing is to reach the top of the tower.

“Because the first person to conquer the tower will be granted the right to make a wish.”

The Holy Grail, known as the omnipotent weapon.

You can grant your wish through the Holy Grail located at the top of the tower.

Of course, it’s called the Holy Grail of Eternity, but it won’t do everything. However, unless it’s something really extraordinary, it will be able to accomplish almost anything.

For example, resurrecting dead people, sending them back to the past, etc.

There is a limit to the number of people who can be revived and the amount of time they can go back, but the wish itself will be granted.

“There’s still a long way to go until we reach the summit. If we keep going at the same pace as we are now, we’ll be able to reach it in no time.”

Is there one more level to the top?

I feel strangely elated.

“It’s not an easy level of difficulty, but if you keep doing what you’re doing now, you can clear it without taking much damage.”

It was nothing short of a miracle that we had managed to advance so far without any casualties. Of course, it was an artificial miracle that was possible thanks to the presence of Edelin, a multiple-returner.

“The situation is completely different from before the regression. Isn’t it?”

I clicked my tongue with a slightly annoyed expression.

If Edelin before her return had truly decided to conquer the tower, she would have been able to conquer the tower very quickly and without taking much damage like she did now.

But that wasn’t the case.

Before her regression, Edelin acted as if she was the first person to climb the tower.

From Edelin’s perspective, she had no choice but to act in order to hide the fact that she had regressed multiple times, but even so, the attack speed is too slow.

If Edelin had been a little more enthusiastic about conquering the tower or helping those in danger, they wouldn’t have died… … .

‘The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get.’

Edelin would know how they would be put in danger.

Then doesn’t that mean you left them alone whether they died or not?

Well, there’s no reason for Edeline to help them.

It would have been better if they had died.

Because Edelin is strangely obsessed with me.

‘No, wait a minute… … Did you intentionally lead that girl, Edelin, to her death?’

It may be a bit of an exaggerated delusion, but I couldn’t hide the inexplicable sense of discomfort at the fact that everyone except me had died. If it were indeed Edeline who had been plotting this…

“ha.”

“Why are you like that, Seojun?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

“Huh?”

Edelin tilted her head in confusion, but I sighed as if it was nothing special.

Let’s leave this thought for later.

Even if you ask Edelin a question, she won’t answer you readily.

“Then I will continue talking.”

“okay.”

“How about we take it easy and compete to see who can clear the tower first by entering the tower at the same time in two months?”

“What is the exact date and time?”

“I’ll let you know after I conquer the next floor.”

Edelin clapped her hands in a gap.

“Oh, don’t worry too much, Seojun. This time, I’ll do it over the phone instead of by letter.”

I wasn’t worried about that.

“Anyway, the person who lost the bet will accept the winner’s request. Is that okay?”

“Until the betting begins, let’s refrain from any hostilities as we have now?”

“Yes, outside the tower.”

Smile brightly.

“But when you bet, you’re competing with each other, so wouldn’t it be better to allow armed conflict between the two?”

“Tsk.”

“Don’t be so hard on yourself, Seojun. You know that armed conflict is a planned process.”

Yeah, well.

No matter what happens, armed conflict is unavoidable.

In the first place, neither Edelin nor I wanted to laugh and conquer the tower.

Because I have my own thoughts and she has her own.

“What would you like to ask for if you win the bet?”

“Well, what would be good? Hehe.”

I really don’t like the ominous smile of Edeline.

“Don’t look at me like that, Seojun. I’m not asking for anything great. I just… … .”

Edeline glances at them and smiles.

“… … I hope that Seojun never meets those girls he cherishes again.”

“under.”

“And I wish you would come to me.”

at that time.

“Oh, I really can’t listen to you.”

The first one to react was Yerin.

“Teacher, are you going to keep listening to that woman’s nonsense?”

Yerin slammed the table hard and growled.

But Edelin acted like it was no big deal, and I let my luck run wild.

“Then, if I win, you agree not to interfere with us again. No, how about you just kill yourself?”

“Haha. You’re really going too far.”

“no?”

“If I lose, I’ll gladly do it. Suicide, um. That’s right. If Seojun gains the power of wishes, there’s no way to resist anyway.”

“Really? Not bad.”

At the moment when Edelin and I were having a warm(?) conversation, Charlotte and Yerin, who couldn’t stand to watch, intervened.

“… … Edeline. What do you mean? Suicide? No matter what, it’s like that. You shouldn’t be talking nonsense.”

“It’s not bad, what’s not bad, teacher!”

The two people look at us and express their complaints.

“How can you believe that in the first place, sir! It’s just empty words with no binding force!”

“… … Be quiet. It’s noisy.”

“Why don’t you just shut up?”

“… … You too, and that redhead too. You’re annoying.”

Why are you guys fighting among yourselves?

“Here we go again. Calm down, Yerin.”

“But… … that girl just told me to break up with you… … .”

That girl, you’re being so harsh today.

But you’re good at acting innocent in front of me.

Are you that pissed? Because I told you to get off? Why does this guy get so excited whenever this kind of story comes up?

If you think about it for a moment, you’ll understand why we were talking like this.

“First of all, we have no intention of keeping our promise even if we lose the bet.”

“Right? Well, I don’t think Seojun will keep it either.”

Yerin bit her lips as if she couldn’t understand what we were saying.

“Then why make that bet… … ?”

“Haha, well.”

Edelin smiled wickedly and tapped her lips with her index finger.

“It’s not a grand reason. I just needed a justification that I could personally accept.”

“Justification… … ?”

“yes.”

When Yerin asked in a puzzled tone, Edelin nodded vigorously.

“Even so, I still respect Seojun quite a bit. I don’t want to dislike him unnecessarily.”

“Respect… … I see. So you tried to erase the memories of someone you respect and manipulate them to your liking.”

“Please don’t be like that, Seojun. At that time, it was an impolite situation and I was half-dead, so my head wasn’t working properly. I was also a little greedy.”

Well, I said that, but it’s true that Edelin has rarely posed a direct threat to me.

Maybe she deserves her own respect.

“I’m sure you know this, Seojun. If I had wanted to, you would have been in a lot of trouble.”

He says it with a smile, but the content is quite gruesome.

“As you said, I am a regressor. What do you think is the greatest strength of a regressor, Seojun?”

“Isn’t this information about the future?”

“That’s right. And I regressed faster than Seojun, and I have more information. My background is also much better. Seojun, you know what this means, right?”

The corners of Edeline’s mouth slightly go up.

“If I didn’t care about the means and methods, I could do so many things. For example, I could have provoked Se-yeon’s inferiority complex to put Ji-hyun in danger… … I could have persuaded Seo-yoon’s younger sibling to set a trap… … I could have secretly intervened in Hwa-ryeon’s successor competition… … I could have gotten involved in Ye-rin’s family feud.”

“You speak a bit harshly.”

Edelin, that guy, you didn’t use these methods to kill them in the previous episode, did you?

Edelin shook her head as if she knew what I was thinking.

“It’s just an example, an example. I meant to say that I know your weaknesses and information.”

Surely, if Edelin had wanted to, there were many ways she could have tormented me and them.

“But I didn’t do anything. I never harmed you directly or indirectly. What do you think is the reason?”

“You did that out of respect for me?”

Respect, respect.

That’s not even funny.

To be honest, it’s just funny.

However, I couldn’t deny that Edelin had ‘almost’ never harmed me in this or any other round.

“I didn’t want to be hated by Seojun for no reason, and out of respect for Seojun, I didn’t touch the people he considered important.”

From noble mtl dot com

“… … .”

“I wanted to use the gentlest method possible, but… … it just didn’t work out very well.”

“… … .”

Edelin quietly looked up into the sky as if reminiscing about the past, then suddenly gave a bitter smile.

“Really… … How many times did I fail? I don’t really remember. Hehe.”

How many times has she failed and how many times has she regressed?

I couldn’t figure it out.

“If you take it by force, you can take it, but isn’t it really hard to just look at it like an idiot and smile?”

Laugh sincerely.

“I guess I’m just tired now? That’s why I needed to convince myself. I needed a reason to convince myself through the bet.”

“I see.”

“Yes. If it were Seojun, he would definitely not keep his promise even if he lost the bet. The same goes for Jihyun, Seoyoon, Hwalyeon, and Yerin, right?”

They just looked at Edeline quietly without saying anything.

“You don’t have to keep your promise.”

Smile brightly.

“The fact that we both risked everything and competed fairly, but didn’t keep our promise, is a good enough excuse.”

An excuse to convince yourself, you know.

“Then I can reach the top of the tower and use my wish to harm Seojun. Or I can use the background of the Seongcheon Sect to harass Seojun and the girls.”

“under.”

“If it were normal, it would have been difficult to use a method that could directly harm Seojun.”

“Crazy b*tch.”

They say you can’t spit in a smiling face, but that wasn’t the case with Edeline.

“If what you say is true, then it seems difficult to cause direct harm to me unless there is a justification that you can convince yourself of?”

“I guess so?”

“Then what will you do if I leave it alone without making useless bets like that?”

“Haha. Is that possible? Considering Seojun’s personality, I don’t think he would just leave his anxiety alone.”

“Yes. No matter what, I have to prevent you from obtaining the right to wish. I can’t just believe what you say.”

“I knew it.”

It’s really stupid to let someone hold a gun just because they don’t shoot you.

Because you never know when or how it will change.

If possible, threats had to be eliminated.

“Oh, even if you lose the bet, you don’t have to worry too much. If Seo-jun follows me obediently, I will remove Seo-yoon’s telepathy ability.”

“Thank you very much.”

“Right? So, other people can come to me with an easy mind without worrying.”

“Why are you drinking kimchi stew already? Anyone who sees you would think you’ve already won.”

“Huh? Well? Didn’t we already win? If you think about it logically, the difference in our abilities is obvious.”

“There’s a saying in Korea: You have to try to know the long and short of it.”

“Anyone who hits a rock with an egg will know that the egg will break.”

Hey.

Not saying a word.

“Ah… … I don’t like women who are so clingy.”

“Isn’t that how much you love me?”

“No matter how much I think about it, it’s not my style. If I lose, I’ll just bite my tongue.”

“You know that if you revive it, that’s it, right?”

I feel like I’m going to get screwed if I really lose.

“Okay, I think we’re almost done with the important stuff… … .”

“Cool… … Cool… … Hmm… … .”

Laurent, who had been sitting quietly next to me, nodded his head with his arms crossed.

I was wondering why you hadn’t said anything and were just sitting there. Was it because you were asleep?

Charlotte looked at Laurent as if she thought he was really pitiful, then hit the back of his head hard.

“Huh? What is it, Charlotte? Why are you hitting me?”

“Are you sleepy in this situation? You’re Edelin’s escort. Shouldn’t you do it right?”

“Hey. Are you really going to fight here? If you fight here, the kids outside will respond right away. Then it’ll be war, war.”

“No matter what, it’s like that. There is such a thing as “what if.”

“In times like that, I believe our leader will figure out how to resolve it… … .”

“Laurent.”

“Oh, yes.”

When Edeline calls, Laurent scratches his cheek and looks around.

“Uh, um. I didn’t sleep well last night.”

“Go back and see.”

“……yes.”

Laurent immediately slumps his shoulders and takes on a sullen expression.

No, why did he come?

Is it because they have a lot of free time or because they don’t care?
