Chapter 394
I don’t know much about the Kamsencha Islands, but it was clear that the specialties here were marine products.
“I felt it before, but why is it so big?”
Harriet’s eyes widened as she watched the giant cooked lobster.
“Big is good.”
“… … Is there anything you don’t like when you grow up?”
“what.”
“It’s just like that.”
Most of the restaurants were selling seafood dishes, and the prices were very cheap compared to Hwangdo. We started eating butter-grilled lobsters five times the size of regular lobsters with a fork.
“Yes! It’s been a while since I ate it, so I think it tastes good then!”
Harriet smiled happily and trembled. She always feels it, but this guy is reaction rich. Come to think of it, he didn’t eat anything else, but he ate at least the lobster.
Giving my share when I was sipping my appetite to see if there was anything more seems to have helped my relationship with Harriet improve a bit.
-omnyomnyom
Ellen was eagerly eating as if she had time to say something more.
If you think about it, even if you enter the sea near the uninhabited island at will, it is a place overflowing with seafood including octopus as well as lobster. Since marine resources would be abundant, the Kamsencha Islands would have been making a living by distributing such seafood through the warp gate.
I don’t think the tourism resources are bad, but I wonder if the uninhabited island we went to was a bit special.
Since I hadn’t eaten lunch myself, I ate it, but seeing Ellen eating a giant lobster was something I’d always seen, but it was amazing. Heriot, well, like a noble lady, she’s eating with a fork quite gracefully. Ellen, she tends to eat rather quickly.
Ellen was wearing a white dress.
If you look at it, they are eating non-stop, but Ellen was eating while being careful not to splash at all on the dress she was wearing.
Even though she continued to eat, not a single bit of food splattered on Ellen’s clothes until she finally killed one of the lobsters.
“I don’t know if eating without being buried is a talent, but if you’re at least a talent, you’re right.”
“… … .”
“No, I said that I eat well in my own way, but why is my mouth sticking out?”
If you ask me, isn’t this a compliment?
I’m not even saying that it’s amazing to eat without being buried like that!
“I got scolded a lot in the past.”
“… … Oh yeah?”
“I won’t say anything about eating a lot, so bury it and don’t eat it. to dad.”
“I can’t imagine Ellen getting scolded… … .”
Ellen’s father.
Did he tell you, swallowing bloody tears, that he couldn’t bear to tell you to stop eating, and that everything was good, so don’t eat it after being buried?
“So, eating without being buried is not a talent, but a product of hard work?”
“huh.”
Somehow they eat like that, but the reason why it’s not disgusting is that it’s the result of my own efforts.
It’s cute, if you ask me.
It was the first time I had heard that Ellen had been scolded for eating, so it was fresh in its own way. If you think about it, seeing Ellen eating beef jerky alone in the middle of the morning around this time last year was the beginning of Ellen and I sharing food.
It’s not a place where we did our own mission, but when we came to Kamsencha Island, thoughts of last year came to mind little by little. It seemed the same for Ellen and Harriet.
“I was really scared when it suddenly rained.”
Harriet shuddered as if thinking of that time.
I knew it was raining, but knowing it and actually getting it were two different things. I must have brought her to my hut when Harriet was shaking.
Harriet’s gaze grew dim, as if she were reminiscing about that time.
“Why, if you want to decide, you can find an uninhabited island and try it once more as an attribute by Sunday.”
“When did you say do it again?!”
Memories are just memories, Harriet said, as if she didn’t want to do it again.
“Even if I do it again, I think it will be very different from then.”
Ellen said so.
Harriet, who had been concentrating hard on making a single fireball, now possessed magical abilities close to instant casting.
Ellen was in good spirits back then, but now she is able to enhance her magical powers.
At that time, even if dozens of Orcs rushed at him, he would be able to cut them down with Rament.
It was clear that hunting, gathering, and holding on would be easier than before.
“Yes, it won’t be as difficult as before.”
Harriet nodded in agreement. In the past, things that were really life-and-death could be dismissed as if they were no big deal if you now face them again.
Many things have become easier.
That’s why it won’t be as hard as before, but I know there won’t be that much sense of accomplishment.
Harriet’s expression did not look very happy.
* * *
Kamsencha was a resort, but there were quite a few people coming and going.
There were quite a few tourists who looked like tourists on the white sandy beach with the emerald-blue sea spreading out in the open blue sky.
It would have been a little difficult if it was crowded with half a person and half a person, but fortunately it wasn’t that much. There were people lying on sunbeds under parasols, and there were also bungalows set up on the beach.
Ellen stared at the beach and put her hand to the hem of her dress.
– Whoops!
“Eh, Ellen!”
“What are you doing… … . Oh, were you wearing it?”
“huh.”
Ellen was wearing a bikini, probably because she had worn her swimsuit inside as soon as she bought it. Harriet also freaked out when Ellen tried to undress her, then let out a sigh of relief when she saw her in a blue bathing suit.
“me too… … . I’ll change into a swimsuit and come back.”
Harriet went to the changing room on the beach, and I changed into a bathing suit and came out of the changing room.
It was still early spring, so unlike the ecliptic, which was chilly, the sunlight was beating down.
It was wonderful weather and scenery.
But I have something to say today.
That’s why I couldn’t feel very good when I saw anything.
* * *
went swimming
The way we enjoy swimming is a little different from others. Harriet cast a water breathing spell on all three of us, and we were able to go out to sea as if we were scuba diving.
So it didn’t matter how many people were on the beach in the first place. We went out to the sea, not the beach, and we barely came out of the water, almost like underwater exploration.
During the mission, I came into the sea to hunt, but now I was swimming purely for enjoyment.
There were some happenings.
Something like Ellen being surprised by a shark that appeared out of nowhere and summoning Lament to intercept it.
Harriet, who was suddenly caught up in the descending current, fell into the sea and was forced to come up by creating a current with magic.
If you think about it, there were quite a few dangerous things, but everyone had their own abilities, so there was no problem.
Anyway, in the end, I spent the day looking under the sea without much trouble, coming out to rest, and going back into the sea.
night time.
We had dinner at a nearby restaurant. Harriet must have been exhausted, and while she was eating her dinner, she fell over on the table.
Ellen and I were rather less active than usual, so we had a lot of energy.
“Evening is evening, what are you going to do? If we’re going to sleep here, we’ll have to find a place to sleep.”
Tomorrow is Sunday, so there is no need to go back today.
“I can’t go anywhere… … . I don’t like sleeping in unknown places… … . can’t go anywhere… … .”
Looking at Harriet, who was stretched out like a jellyfish, muttering while lying on her face, it seemed that her physical strength had exceeded the discharge level.
“Then, let’s find a place to rest.”
“Yes… … . thank you… … .”
Ellen gently stroked Harriet’s hair.
* * *
A place to rest was quickly found. Instead of sleeping at an inn, I rented a bungalow on the sea. I was able to find a pretty good place because I could afford money, and since it was a tourist destination, the accommodations were well established. All the bedrooms were separate, so there was no embarrassing situation.
The fairly large overwater bungalow even had a small, albeit small, swimming pool.
However, since we had been in the water all day and it was night time, rather than swimming, we washed and changed clothes and sat on the edge looking at the sea.
“I never thought I would be in a place like this until this morning.”
“me too.”
Warp gates made it possible to move long distances, but it’s not often that you actually move such a long distance. Harriet looks at me and Ellen with a smile as if she remembered something.
“Heh, if Riana was there, I would have asked for a drink… … .”
Harriet said so, then glossed over.
surely.
At night after coming to a place like this, Riana would have asked me to drink. But Liana now has become the guy who says she’s busy when she says she wants to go out, and even if she actually came, she wouldn’t have said anything about drinking.
Changed circumstances, changed people, and behavior.
The three of us sat on the terrace together, idly.
“It’s only been a year, but so many things have changed.”
Harriet lowered her head and muttered in a slightly melancholy voice.
Harriet, an arrogant grand duchess, became kind, but became aware of melancholy.
Ellen had vowed not to live like her brother, but now she understood her brother to some extent.
After her father’s death, Liana escaped her idle life.
Many have changed.
And I have nothing to say Because of having the holy relic, he is forced to become a warrior. It was the same with Ellen.
This change was both positive and negative.
However, in one way or another, everyone has changed, but what they have in common is that they are all stronger than the original.
And since everyone felt the threat of the demon lord with their skin, they became desperate to some extent.
“If everything had been the same… … . That wouldn’t have been too bad.”
Harriet murmured in dismay.
Liana is still lazy, I’m still a bad person, and Ellen just likes to eat casually.
Without the need to be strong, without the compulsion to be strong.
I just thought it would have been nice if it continued like that. Harriet says those words from this serene and serene resort bungalow.
Ellen gently hugged Harriet’s shoulders.
“We will do well. anything.”
Anything will be fine.
that everything will be fine
As if to soothe a child, Ellen quietly whispers to Harriet. Harriet also quietly put her hand on Ellen’s arm and nodded her head.
To Ellen, who believes everything will be alright. to Harriet.
I have to tell you from now on.
You can’t postpone it forever.
– Prick
From the shore, we heard the sound of grasshoppers.
As Goseong Epiax is forever winter, this place will be eternal summer.
The hot sun beats down on the sea and coast all year round, and the same scenery will always be spread out like this.
I have neither eternal winter nor eternal summer.
I don’t know what to name the season I’ve been through since arriving at the temple.
“I, to you guys… … . I have something to say.”
From now on, you will have to live a different season.

The explanation was verbose.
However, when a key word was mentioned, I couldn’t help but see the two’s expressions harden.
The word “engagement” thrown out suddenly.
Naturally, Harriet and Ellen didn’t know what I was talking about. You’re suddenly engaged.
I explained everything. As we explained, we gradually made each other feel weird and terrible, but we couldn’t help but do it.
I couldn’t explain everything, but I could give you a rough idea.
After returning from Devil’s Castle, Charlotte was suffering from aftereffects.
The thing I risked my life to save Charlotte.
And Charlotte, who was too concerned about her own health, eventually fell behind in the race for the succession to the throne, and now even turned her back on her own power.
Bertus wasn’t the problem, but the current situation where life might be in danger due to internal defectors.
So, since I need a justification to protect Charlotte, I, the owner of Alsbringer, must be engaged to Charlotte to prevent her supporters from leaving, so that Charlotte can survive.
Everyone didn’t ask why he was acting so much for Charlotte.
I didn’t say that I was forced to do this to save Charlotte’s life.
Because he loves Charlotte, he wants to protect her, so he wants to marry her. Both would have no choice but to accept it that way, and I didn’t bother to say no to it.
The two of course would accept it that way.
I made a choice.
Trying to clumsily hold on to something else is just nonsense.
“… … ah.”
Harriet was staring at me blankly, dazed.
– Took
A single tear rolled down Ellen’s expressionless face.
I didn’t say sorry. because it’s weirder
The moment you say you’re sorry, things will only get weirder, and everyone will feel even worse than they are now.
While saying that, I stared at the beach in silence.
Gentle waves were constantly crashing onto the shore.
Ellen just hung her head in silence.
Harriet looked at Ellen like that, then looked at me and forcibly made a certain expression.
It was a strange expression, not knowing what to name it.
“That, yes. that… … . you ha… … . that… … I got out… … . how come… … . How come something like you… … . how come… … .”
In the end, Harriet’s expression, which was about to say something, distorted terribly.
“How come… … . how… … . why… … .”
I couldn’t look straight at Harriet, who was crying.
With her head lowered, Ellen, who hadn’t said anything, remained silent.
“Was it a lie?”
Very little, he said.
I didn’t say what it was about.
But I know what moment I’m talking about.
The day you handed me the rapelt.
i reject that
what you said next.
It must be the story of the day.
It was decided what answer to give.
“… … uh.”
Ellen didn’t ask for anything more.
