Episode 138 Deal with Lucia (4)
“Okay, let’s make a deal.”
After calming down her anger, Lucia held out her hand to me.
It’s a successful transaction. This allowed us to receive guidance from Lucia.
The problem is that I’m stuck against the wall and can’t reach out my hand?
Did you realize that fact? Lucia pulled me out of the wall with her outstretched hand.
“Why are you stuck against the wall? “Then you don’t grow taller.”
“… … Hehe, I want to tell you that I didn’t get into it on my own.”
“Hmm, let’s not worry about the little things. “It’s an alliance, right?”
“Hehe, it’s trivial… … .”
Let’s beat people up and not worry about trivial things. Isn’t it too shameless to be shameless?
As I stared, Lucia cleared her throat and avoided my gaze.
I guess he was embarrassed too.
‘Well, let’s just look at it like this. ‘Because I gained so much.’
Lucia’s personal guidance for 3 weeks.
Three wish tickets.
Alliance with the Lucid family.
Here’s a look at something that’s good(?) for your body.
‘All I gave was information about the survivors of the Leicester family and the condition of keeping quiet about the devil’s curse.’
The transaction ended with an overwhelming profit.
In particular, the alliance with the Lucid family can be said to be the biggest gain from this transaction.
One of the eight pillars supporting the empire.
Information, people, artifacts, funding, support, etc.
I will give you most of what I want.
Since the family is so rich, there will be no harm in giving that much away.
‘What should I ask for? money? Artifact? Or the right to command to freely stroke Rodelin’s head?’
The image of Rodelin reluctantly giving up her head with a bright red face flashes before my eyes.
Okay, let’s make this our first request.
I’m going to get the command to stroke Rodelin’s head as much as I want!
That was when I was lost in a happy fantasy world.
“Well, this is an alliance between you and me personally.”
“… … yes?”
The image of Rodelin that had been fluttering before my eyes disappeared in an instant.
You’re taking away my petting command!
Anger surged throughout my body.
“Hehe, you’re changing the details of the transaction at will. “I guess it’s okay for me to change it however I want, right?”
“Well, what is it? “Why are you so angry all of a sudden?”
“You stole something precious from me! “You will have to pay for that!”
“… … What is he saying now? Am I the one who lost something precious? Do you really want to get scolded?”
When Lucia raised her fist, her body automatically flinched and trembled.
Looks like he has PTSD. Because it was a situation where I could really die.
“Just listen first. “This is all for you.”
Was that scene quite pitiful? Lucia lowered her fist and continued her words.
“As I said before, in order to form an alliance with a family, the consent of my father and vassals is essential. It means you have to face them, and someone like you will be killed instantly.”
“Hehe, is that really true?”
“… … That’s why you get killed instantly, right? “My father can’t stand an arrogant bastard like you.”
It’s just as Lucia said.
It may be because Marquis Luke is an extraordinary being, but when I saw him in the game, he looked like a lion in his prime.
If you even twitch your butt in front of him and provoke him, you will face death just like that.
“Then no information about me will be known.”
“that’s right. For now, I plan to keep your existence a secret. “I think putting you and your father face to face will cause a lot of annoying problems.”
How dare you treat a good person like me like a problem child!
She is truly a woman who has no eyes to see.
‘but… … Lucia’s comment that it is too early to meet Marquis Luke has a point.’
Rodelin’s tragic ending has been witnessed thousands of times.
I couldn’t make a rational decision because of the anger that was rising.
But it’s not a lie that I’ll hit Marquis Luke someday.
“So that’s it now? The alliance is not a family, but an alliance between the two of us. “Do not inform your father of your existence.”
Lucia’s judgment is correct.
Chapter 2 has just begun. It’s time to take care of yourself and increase your strength.
Above all, it is not a good idea to change the story too much.
‘The biggest strength I have is information.’
But contrary to my feelings, my mouth became pouty and stuck out.
This is because the command power to pat Rodelin’s head at any time has great value.
“ha… … . Let’s go slowly. “Isn’t it great enough just to form an alliance with me?”
But it doesn’t taste like stroking your head(?).
It’s delicious when a strong girl who always stands upright gives her head without being able to do this or that!
“… … Something feels strangely off. “What are you thinking now?”
“I consider it an honor to form an alliance with the great Lucia.”
“… … “It looks suspicious.”
“Hehe, you’re mistaken.”
“is it?”
Lucia, who was scratching her head, opened her mouth.
“I’m asking this just in case… … “Do you know the exact details?”
Trouble, worry, doubt, etc. A voice filled with many emotions.
Even though the subject was missing, it was easy to figure out what they were curious about.
The Lucid family and the devil. The contents of the treaty concluded between each other.
He was asking if I knew the exact details about him.
‘Well, it’s suspicious.’
Because I gave a comprehensive statement about the devil’s curse on the Lucid family.
But it was an action for Lucia. She might have a listening ear somewhere.
“Hehe, it’s good to be suspicious, but doubting a good person like me is not a good choice. “Why isn’t there a saying, ‘Contemplation is a science?’”
“That’s the problem!? Needless to say, words and actions! “Now you are the most suspicious person on this continent!”
That can’t be possible. I am such a good person that even if I were to compete against an angel in a personality contest, I would put up a close fight.
The insult Lucia gave just now was no different from insulting an angel. Right, angel?
“Then I can’t help it. “I have no choice but to tell you at least to prove my innocence.”
The only ones who have to keep the secret are Lucid and ‘those guys’.
Since I am a third party, their contract will not be terminated if I reveal it.
“That day, the person who came to Lucid was the commander of the 2nd Corps. ah! “It is not Kangrim, but he is possessed by a human, so it would be more accurate to say that he is the possessed commander of the 2nd Corps.”
“… … !”
“Just before the second cordon was breached, the 2nd Corps commander and the Lucid family had a conversation and reached an agreement. The contents are… … .”
It was a time when I opened my mouth wide to continue speaking.
A hand tightly covered my mouth. The owner of the hand was, of course, Lucia.
“okay. “I know what you’re saying is true, so please shut up.”
Lucia looked around to see if anyone was there.
Although my eyes were only focused on her.
Lucia suddenly approached with a hand in hand.
It smelled good. As the distance got closer, I was able to see Lucia’s face clearly.
‘It’s pretty, pretty.’
Moreover, it strangely resembles Rodelin. Well, since they are sisters, it’s only natural.
‘Is this what Rodelin will look like when she matures?’
In the game, we do not see Rodelin as an adult.
As the challenge to the final boss ends in failure, the phrase ‘The continent is engulfed in a sea of fire and only a small number of humans are bred to satisfy the devil’ comes to mind.
And it’s likely to be the same this time too.
It was a time when I looked at Lucia’s face and imagined Rodelin growing up.
“Why are you looking at me like that? “Is this your first time seeing a pretty person?”
“Hehe, you have great confidence.”
“Because it’s clear that I’m pretty.”
“And it’s clear that I never got married.”
“this person… … The child of a young bastard… … !”
But Lucia only trembled with her fists and could not do me any harm.
Not only does he know the devil’s curse, but he also perfectly knows what happened that day.
Now you must have realized that you have no choice.
‘Well, I’ll try to find my helper through background investigation.’
Although it is worse than Charon, the Lucid family is also building an information network that is comparable to that of Charon.
But I won’t find my helper.
‘Because such a person does not exist in the first place.’
In other words, what he said to Lucia, ‘When I die, my helpers will all spread the word. The words ‘I can’t kill you~’ were bluffs.
But Lucia has no choice but to accept my deal.
Because a moment’s judgment could lead the family down the path to extinction.
‘If they found out that there was no helper, they would try to find out how the secret was discovered through torture after kidnapping… … .’
Even then, there is a way to get out, so it will be okay.
It makes no sense to kidnap a good human like me in the first place. yes?
“… … “Let me ask you just one thing.”
Lucia, who was shaking with anger, set the mood.
“Why are you doing this? There’s no reason to drag our family into it. “Your purpose is to get revenge on those who made the Lester family like that.”
Lucia is saying that her help will be enough.
Don’t drag my family into me because of my personal vendetta.
However, now Lucia is making a huge mistake.
‘The Lucid family alone is not enough.’
The Marquis of Asizu is nothing more than a chess mate.
The person behind him is the real culprit, the dark side that brought down the Leicester family.
‘The Lucid family alone is not enough. We need at least three pillars.’
That too is just a minimal pillar. In order to successfully complete the work, we will need cooperation from five or more pillars, which is the majority.
‘Once I met Marquis Luke, I tried to obtain a pillar… … It’s a failure.’
That’s not the only reason I want to meet Marquis Luke.
‘Because he’s the one who needs help.’
I need help, but the entire Lucid family needs my help.
This is because as the story progresses, members of the Lucid family are in danger.
It’s basic to go crazy, even killing innocent people or making contracts with the devil.
I had to help them at least to protect Rodelin.
But I can’t tell Lucia about this situation.
Can not help it. I have no choice but to convey my sincere concern for Rodelin.
“Revenge is important, but… … “It’s also important to protect your seniors.”
“Are you talking about Delrin? why? “You’re not even family.”
“Hehe, I liked it.”
Lucia’s eyes narrowed. Then, one corner of her mouth quirked up.
What can I say? Is this a smile that makes the viewer feel bad?
“Hmm~ So that was it? Yes, kids are like this too. “You look kind of cute now.”
… … What kind of ridiculous delusion did this woman have again?
It was time to try to resolve a misunderstanding. Lucia spoke first.
“Our Delrin is pretty good too. Making a boy fall in love. I thought I would just play soldier for the rest of my life… … “You don’t have to worry.”
“That’s not it… … .”
“oh! Are you embarrassed? It’s really cute. I thought he was a strange guy, but it seems he is still a kid. You’re such a baby when it comes to love, baby. “Is this your first love?”
“… … .”
“Aaaah! oh my god! “It’s so fresh!”
Lucia grabbed both my cheeks and started turning them around.
This is the level of delusion that has penetrated the planet.
‘What on earth are you thinking?’
To me, the feelings I have for Rodelin are not love.
The devil’s temptation continues to loom over you for thousands of playthroughs.
However, Rodelin has never been corrupted.
I just have respect and awe for him.
‘Well, he’s definitely cute when he’s embarrassed, but… … .’
I’m not sure if I can say it’s love.
“Aaaah! oh my god! oh my god! “It makes me excited too!”
“So I… … .”
“You don’t have to make excuses like that. “What’s so shameful about love?”
Lucia’s know-it-all attitude and crooked smile.
I want to take that smile away and make you tremble.
‘In some ways, he’s easier to bully than Rodelin… … ‘She can’t be bothered.’
I can’t do that because I want to be guided by Lucia.
huh? Wait, now that I think about it… … .
‘… … Aren’t the restrictions lifted? ‘We’ve already promised to make a deal.’
Yes. It has already been confirmed that Lucia will teach us.
In the meantime, I held out in order to slightly increase my chances of receiving Lucia’s guidance.
This means that there is no longer any reason to hesitate.
chin-.
I grabbed his wrist.
Both of Lucia’s wrists were shaking frantically while pinching both of my cheeks.
“Hehe, that’s right. Senior Rodelin is attractive. So much so that it captured my heart.”
“also! Our Delrin is cute. Well, it might be hard to win his heart.”
“But the moment I saw Lucia, my heart changed.”
“… … huh?”
Did he realize that things were going strangely?
Lucia hastily pulled out the wrist that was being held.
“ah… … .”
He let out a regretful sigh towards Lucia.
With a sticky smile.
“Wow, I can’t believe you changed your mind. What does that mean?”
“It means that I have fallen in love with Lucia. The moment I got punched by her earlier, I realized something about her. She said this is love.”
“Oh, no! That’s not love! “Normally people say that’s pain!”
“Love is accompanied by pain. And Lucia is the only one who caused me such great pain.”
“Bye, pervert! “If you feel that way, you’re a pervert!”
Lucia slowly began to take a step back.
I wouldn’t even dare to hit him.
Because I was told about the perversion that the more pain I inflict, the more I fall in love.
… … I’ll tell you just in case, my tastes aren’t unique, I just set it up that way to tease Lucia. really.
“Oh, don’t come!”
What stopped Lucia from taking a step back was the wall of the training ground, and it was also in a corner.
It seems like I can see Rodelin shaking in the corner.
chin!
After firmly blocking Lucia with both arms to prevent her from escaping, he smiled a sticky smile.
“It’s a big deal. To love her sister. This is it… … “It’s fate, right?”
“Well, how is that fate! “You playboy!”
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a flirt. “If only I could win Lucia’s heart.”
Lucia’s eyes began to twinkle.
Lucia is not immune to this because she has never dated a man.
He’s the perfect person to make fun of.
“I am an old maid. She’s an unpopular woman… … .”
“The men of the world don’t have the eyes to see. “If it were me, I would propose right away.”
“Ah, ah… … no. My, my virginity… … .”
Lucia sat down and covered her chest with both arms.
I don’t know why chastity is mentioned here. I was just playing around(?).
‘Whoa…’ … ‘All the stress goes away.’
Since you gave me a harsh scolding once, you won’t bother me again.
It was when I was trying to help Lucia up.
Grumble-!
“Zero! Sister is here! “You probably weren’t procrastinating, right?”
Luna opened the training ground door wide and stiffened as soon as she saw us.
No, maybe it’s not Luna who came in now… … .
It might be a murder tank.
