“There, that, Antiope-.”
“Hey, Hassan-.”
Their words overlapped.
I took a few sips from the ice glass I had accepted to hide my embarrassment. My teeth were chattering.
“Why, what do you have to say?”
“Hey, I heard you met Vice Vine… huh?”
Vice vine?
The name brought to mind the executioner of Bacchus, the Inquisitor Weiss Bine, a strange fellow who bathed in expensive wine.
“That guy has a special sense of social interaction. He’s been praising Hassan-nim. How on earth did he get it…?”
“Really? I didn’t do anything special.”
The only thing that comes to mind is the time I cursed at the cult members with the guy, and downed a whole bottle of some really strong liquor or something.
If I heard someone else compliment me like that, I could tell that the guy really liked me.
“I heard that you will be invited to the Named Monster Subjugation event soon. So, are you planning to attack Vice Vine then?”
“What are you hitting?”
“Isn’t that guy trying to take down the Temple Knights? So, I thought of a good plan to defeat him-.”
“No, what.”
“The guy likes to drink, so the night before, I put venom in his drink. Something like Hydra venom. Then, I can kill him and get a nice corpse, right?”
Antiope had been telling a pagan story.
Is your head spinning because of the heat?
But what happened next was even more spectacular.
“That’s why I prepared Hydra venom in advance.”
Knock knock-.
Antiope, who had her zipper pulled up to her neck and lowered it to her chest.
Her collarbone and nape, soaked in sweat, were revealed, and soon her ample breasts began to ripple as if they were about to burst. She took out a small glass bottle from between them.
Inside the tiny glass bottle, about the size of a thumb, you can see a single fluorescently glowing water droplet.
“I bought it for 3 gold because there was a skilled witch in Sodomora. With this amount, even my Vice Vine would die.”
“that….”
Kill the Templar Knights?
If that happens, my peaceful daily life will be blown away in an instant.
“How is it? Before receiving an order, think first and then act. I heard from Paranoy that this is Hassan-sama’s policy. Did I do well?”
Information overflows like a dam has been released.
I could say for sure.
Antiope is ruined.
Like a doll with its strings cut and falling to the floor.
Like a grasshopper caught in the hand of a child disintegrating.
Antiope eventually broke down.
And it was probably me who broke her.
But it wasn’t like this the last time we met. Did I just give you too much of a shock?
While I was thinking what could possibly be a good idea, Antiope said:
“So, can I get an award too?”
“award?”
“You said you’d give me a reward if I did a good job. As a reward, I’d like you to rub my shoulders again…”
Knock knock.
She pulled down the leather suit that had been covering her shoulders and lay face down in front of the bed. I guess she was asking for someone to rub her shoulders.
Her straight back and shoulders, thus exposed, were covered with flowers and clouds that looked like something you would often see in a children’s sketchbook. Of course, I drew them.
He even has Charmander on his left arm and Pikachu on his right arm.
Perhaps because they were wearing leather suits, Pikachu and Charmander looked quite pitiful, drenched in sweat.
I slowly moved the hand that was holding the cold ice glass and grabbed her shoulder.
“Ah… It’s cold… .”
“Oh, sorry.”
“No, it’s refreshing. It’s refreshing in many ways… Hehehe… Mr. Hassan, thank you so much for giving me the award. Hehe, ah-.”
Certainly, her body, which I touched directly, was as hot as a ball of fire. Hippolyte also had a rather high body temperature, and it seems that her sister Antiope was no different.
But, with his tattoos wrapped tightly from neck to ankles in a leather suit to hide them, it must have been so hot that his head would hurt.
“Hey, press my back too, press my back too, huh, huh-. That, like last time, hard, crunch, I like that… .”
Woodduck-.
“Hiyaeuuut-!”
When I pushed her back with my palm, Antiope screamed as if she had been stabbed by a sword. At the same time, a crackling electricity shot out from her right palm.
“What the heck, Sval!”
I was really shocked. How can static electricity bounce off a person’s hand so strongly? While I was panicking, Antiope, who was lying face down, laughed heartily.
“Oh, this? Isn’t it amazing?”
Phage support support-.
Wasn’t there a blue lightning flashing in her right hand? Anyone could tell that it was an S-rank lightning slicing technique, a brain slicing technique.
“You could use magic too?”
“No. The daughter of Mars can’t handle magic. But one day, she did. In her right hand, lightning, and in her left hand-.”
Hwaruk-.
Soon a small fireball appears in her left hand.
“The grace that Hassan has bestowed upon me… must be virtue.”
“blessing…?”
“Hey, that’s a weird tattoo.”
Antiope extinguished the fire and electricity in her hands. The boy quickly raised his upper body.
Thanks to that, her large breasts were rippling vividly before my eyes. However, what she was pointing at with her finger was Pikachu and Charmander.
“With this power, I feel like I can become stronger than before. I will destroy the world that has forced me into this suffering. Hassan, let’s make the world a hell together!”
“Oh, shit… .”
Is it really because of that picture?
Well, come to think of it, Antiope’s magical ink seems to have absorbed the karma for the pictures drawn on her body or something.
If so, it’s not entirely impossible.
So, I had no choice but to erase the Pyri drawn on her shoulder.
“Oh, why!”
However, Antiope screamed as if she was horrified at having her tattoo removed. I tried to ignore her reaction and erased the rest of the Pikachu as well.
Swish, swish-.
“Huh, why!?”
While I was at it, I also cleaned off the magic seal drawn on her stomach.
Because if something like the power of the gumi suddenly bursts out from the stomach, the world could really be in danger.
However, Antiope seemed quite shocked at having her ridiculous tattoos removed.
“…Are you going to abandon me? Was I useless?”
“I’m sorry, Antiope. I guess I did this to you. You don’t have to hide your body anymore.”
“Uh, why….”
“It’s hot if you cover yourself with leather clothes in the summer. You can draw whatever you want on your body again.”
“Well, then… .”
Antiope raised her index finger. Soon, a mysterious black tear-like substance dripped from her index finger. She placed it on her lower abdomen and wrote the word ‘Hassan’.
“I wrote what I wanted to write! No, no.”
The words ‘Holy Knight’ are added to the letters ‘Hassan’ with a slurp, slurp.
Antiope’s condition was worse than I had expected.
“There, Antiope.”
“Yes? Do you have something to say? By the way, you were trying to talk to me earlier, right?”
Antiope seemed to be speaking with eloquence, but her eyes were half dead.
I didn’t want this incident to get any bigger and lead to stories of the poisoning of the Knights Templar. So, I finally said what I had been holding back.
“Actually, that… I’m not like a god.”
“yes…?”
“I lied to you. I’m just human.”
Before things got any worse, I thought it was time to take responsibility for the lies I told.
The die has been cast, all that remains is Antiope’s reaction.
“… A lie. That is a lie. Why, why would you lie to me like that…?”
“I told you, I’m not lying.”
“Ah, I see. This is like a test, right? If I get the question wrong, will I be punished again? You’ll do whatever you want with me…?”
I’m speechless.
No matter what I say, it feels like it’s bouncing off a wall.
So, just in case, he grabs Antiope’s wrist and letters appear.
『Name: Antiope Grim Keeper lv. ?? 34
Condition: Irregular menstruation》 Heatstroke》 Self-abandonment》
Her condition had the added words “heatstroke” and “abandonment” that I had never seen before. I looked at the blood spots floating on her body.
A red spot appears above the elbow.
What was that? Was it the Cheongnyeongyeonhyeol?
It was an acupuncture point that was pressed as an emergency prescription for people who were dizzy and had difficulty breathing due to the acute heat.
When he pressed hard on that spot, Antiope screamed loudly, “Euaaaaah-!” Soon, Antiope lay down, her large chest heaving, and breathing heavily.
“Huh-.”
As I continue to press down on her elbow, letters begin to appear in front of me.
Deering-.
The text says that it cures both “heatstroke” and “self-abandonment.” And it says that the current task score has reached 275.
“Ugh… .”
“How is it, have you calmed down now?”
“… .”
But Antiope didn’t say anything. She just zipped her zipper back up.
“Antiope, I-.”
“… No, you’re not even giving me time to dream?”
“what?”
“… I also vaguely knew that you were neither a god nor a cultist.”
“Really?”
“Because I’m not an idiot. There are no socialites as clumsy as you, and no gods as clumsy as you.”
Antiope lay in bed, staring silently at the ceiling. Her half-clouded eyes were now a brilliant brown, just as they had been when she first met him.
Swish.
Finally, she sat up and leaned her back against the wall.
Then he blows into the pipe lying on the floor again and snaps his fingers to create sparks.
“after-.”
She took a deep breath and blew smoke into the air.
“But if you make me dream, you have to take responsibility. For a moment, I was able to use magic. I don’t know what it was, but I was shooting fire and lightning out of my hands.”
Antiope curses, “Damn it!”
“I breathed lightning. I was crazy. Oh, did I really get heatstroke?”
“I guess so. It’s not usually hot.”
“I’m angry now that I think about it. Of course, it was my fault for attacking you guys without permission. But still, now that my head is clear, I feel ashamed of what I did.”
Antiope scratched her ashen hair, clearly showing how embarrassed she was.
I said.
“That’s just how it is… Anyway, now that we’ve cleared up the misunderstanding, just be comfortable with each other. We don’t want the fact that you lost to us, or what we did, to spread, so please keep it a secret.”
“Of course you should keep it a secret. Whose future would be tangled? Ha-. Why did I do that? But, but back then, you really seemed like a scary guy. Ah, it’s really embarrassing.”
Soon, Antiope was kicking up dust by hitting the blanket with the sole of her foot.
On the one hand, I felt relieved because things were going smoothly and the burden on my mind was reduced.
As Luna said, my work with Antiope must have had a lot to do with making me look like a different person these days.
That’s refreshing.
“No way. It’s a bit unfair that I’m the only one with such embarrassing memories.”
Swish.
Antiope held out the sole of her foot toward me. It was a beautiful sole, soft and curved.
“…What is it?”
“… Show your sincerity at my feet.”
“what?”
“… Yes, I think I should leave you with at least one embarrassing memory. That way, we can keep our secrets from each other. Right? So, kiss my… feet.”
Are you serious? You want me to kiss your feet?
Even that wicked Elfriede had never given such an order. What could be more humiliating than kissing a person’s feet?
“hurry.”
Fidget, fidget.
Antiope curled and uncurled her toes as if urging him on. Her attitude was firm.
Did you ever worry that when you tried to reveal the truth you might end up fighting Antiope?
Antiope is now level 27.
Since my level is 25 and my task stats are stored appropriately, I considered subduing her with force if the main incident was difficult.
If the matter could be resolved without any bloodshed and with me swallowing my pride, nothing could be better than that.
So, I took a deep breath and held onto those tiny, soft, warm soles with my hands.
Malkang.
It was that very moment.
Crunch-.
As soon as the door opened, Hippolyta appeared, dripping with sweat. Her brown eyes swept over me and her sister, Antiope.
“Why, why, are you touching my sister’s feet? Why, Antiope? Weren’t you a virgin?”
Hippolyta approached me at such a speed that I couldn’t even see her knees move.
As I pulled my head out of my head, goosebumps running down the back of my neck, Hippolyta’s hand just barely brushed past my neck.
Swish!
Subal, how can a human hand make such a sound when cutting through the air? It was horrible to even imagine what would have happened to my neck if I had been caught by that thing.
She tried to grab me by the neck.
How did I avoid this? Is this the result of training?
However, Antiope was definitely held by Hippolyte.
“Hey, sis, sis, listen to me. Sis, this is, uh, sis-! Sis! Sis!”
“…Hasan, you avoided my hand, so I’ll let you off easy. Stay out. If you don’t want to get caught.”
“Thank you.”
As I closed the door, I heard a frightening clack-clack noise from inside, similar to the sound of chickens flapping their wings.
“Eungieee, oh my, unnieeeee-!”
“I taught you that-”
I could hear some voices, but they were drowned out by other loud noises. And so a few minutes passed.
“Hassan, you can come in now.”
With Hippolyte’s permission, he opened the door and went in, where he saw Antiope curled up on the bed, shivering, her body swollen in various places.
“I heard you gave me a massage?”
“… Yes.”
Looking at Hippolyte’s eyes that were shining brightly, I began to understand the feelings of the mouse in front of me. As I too was trembling, Hippolyte sighed and spoke.
“Antiope is still a child. She must be protected.”
“… My sister treats me like a child every day. I’m an adult too. I can do whatever I want-.”
“Shh, are you a little more excited?”
Is this like a fight between sisters? I’ve fought with my younger sister a lot myself, so I understand to some extent.
However, when I was feeling a little awkward about being stuck in this family time, and the back of my head was tingling, Hippolyta said.
“Hassan, there is no training today.”
“Is it a day off?”
“Instead, we will begin the actual experience from tomorrow. We will close the rift in the abyss.”
What is that?
As she was thinking about this, Antiope, who was curled up on the bed and glaring at her sister, cried out in surprise.
“Are you saying you’re going down to the bottom of the valley? Seriously? Are you feeling the heat too, Unnie?”
[Work Review]
Today, the indoor temperature in the house was recorded at 32 degrees…
I was so surprised when I breathed and the air was stuffy and the fan was blowing lukewarm air…!!
It’s so hot ㅠㅠ.. It was a day when I really felt that people can get hurt by the heat, so I put in Antiope who has eaten the heat…
I felt a little bad about making her wear something like a latex rubber suit from her neck to her ankles in the middle of summer…
