Ch.184 It Seems…… Selena Has a Lot of History
Selena returned after washing up.
Seeing
sitting on the bed, she frowned.
“I told you to lie down after washing, didn’t I?”
“I wanted to, but soone went to wash first, so I was tired and lay down first.”
Selena strode over and said.
“How dare you lie on the bed all sweaty?! Go wash up quickly!”
Urged by the angry her, I sluggishly headed to the bathroom.
After washing up and coming out, even the bedsheets and blanket seed to have been changed, as the color and pattern were different from when I left.
Seriously… how fussy.
It’s just a dream, I wonder if she needs to be that fussy.
“I changed the bedding to be clean. Use it cleanly.”
Saying that, she lay down on the bed.
This reminds
of the old days?
I recalled when I first t her and we fought over the bed.
Back then, Evan ca after hearing her scream and kicked
out.
I really hated Selena back then.
I rember staying up all night that day to find the Altarion’s Staff.
But what’s her intention?
She patted the bed with her hand, as if suggesting we share it.
“Aren’t you going to use the bed?”
At her action of suggesting we share the bed from the first eting, I asked back.
“The bed…… are we sharing it?”
“Yes, why? Do you want to have it all to yourself?”
I shook my head at Selena, who had raised her eyebrows.
“No? That’s not it…….”
“Or is it that you dislike sharing it with
because I’m unattractive?”
Saying that, she rubbed her eyes with both fists and pretended to cry.
“Sniff sniff…… To think my looks are lacking…….”
“No? How could that be?”
Objectively speaking, Selena is an incredible beauty.
Luscious black hair and slightly cat-like eyes.
On top of that, mysterious red pupils and cherry-like lips.
A beauty without a single flaw.
But what is this? Why is the progress so fast?
There were many tis we shared a blanket while traveling together.
But that was after we beca close naturally while traveling together, not right after eting…….
Why? Is it because it’s a dream?
It felt like a lot was skipped in the middle.
Well, there’s only one bed…….
Fine, we can just share it.
Selena lifted the blanket and said.
“Co on. The chance to share a bed with a beauty like
isn’t common.”
Looking at her provocative words, I made a disgusted expression.
“That’s true, but it’s a bit disgusting.”
At my words, Selena made a mischievous smile.
“Hoho, so you’re saying I’m a beauty?”
“That may be true, but if you know it, it’s not charming.”
At my words, she made a puzzled expression.
“Huh? Why?”
“If you know you’re pretty, you might use your looks as a weapon, right?”
At the pointed remark, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly.
Selena’s red eyes stared down at
intently.
As if she wanted to read my inner thoughts.
“Do you think I’m such a sinister woman? Then I think I’d be hurt?”
Her tone was mixed with joking, but her eyes were serious.
Ugh, looking at her, who had actually used her charms on
before and now was playing innocent like it never happened, was rather absurd.
Selena… I didn’t know, but you’re really brazen.
I knew you were a bit brazen even before when we traveled, but I didn’t know you were this brazen.
But if I raise suspicion, she might reset things again, so I said.
“Wherever I go, I’m just a man with an ordinary appearance. If a beauty whose na I don’t even know suddenly says sothing like this, it would be strange if I didn’t suspect sothing, right?”
At my words, Selena blinked her eyes repeatedly.
“Ah, now that you ntion it, I haven’t told you my na. My na is Selena. Mr. Hans.”
I nodded as if hearing it for the first ti, even though I knew.
“That’s a pretty na.”
It was then.
—Knock knock.
The sound of knocking was heard.
—”The al is ready. Please co and eat.”
At Evan’s words, our gazes simultaneously turned towards the door.
***
Several days had passed since Hans entered Selena’s ntal world.
The Demon King, who died and was resurrected by Roy.
In the anti, he had issued a summons to his subordinate demons.
The Demon King looked upon the army camped in the Demon King’s castle with satisfied eyes.
‘It’s been several days since the Adversary and the King of the Dead t. If the world hasn’t ended yet…… I should assu the Adversary won.’
Thinking that the safety of the demons was now secured, the Demon King began to seriously consider conquering the human world.
The Gates of Hell were already wide open.
No matter that the Adversary has Equality, how long they can hold out against resurrecting demons is unknown.
The ones to be wary of among humans are the Hero Party and the Adversary.
The Demon King thought it would take them a long ti to reach the Gates of Hell from within this vast Hell.
“Hoho, Adversary. You have successfully completed your task. Congratulations. But…….”
He turned his head towards the direction where the Adversary would likely be.
“I will take control of the human world.”
A vicious smile hung on the Demon King’s lips.
***
“I wonder when he’ll wake up?”
Everyone looked at Hans, who had fallen asleep with Roy, with worried expressions.
It had already been several days.
“He hasn’t even eaten, what should we do?”
When Leah worried about Hans, who was unconscious and couldn’t intake nutrients, Cecilia patted her shoulder.
“Don’t worry. While wearing the Arbiter’s Armor, he doesn’t need to eat.”
Looking at Hans, who was sleeping as if dead, Scarlet cautiously said.
“That’s a relief then…… but when will he return?”
Edward, who had designed this magic tool from the beginning, pondered and answered.
“I have no idea how long it will take to persuade the Pibing Chair…….”
As everyone was worrying about Hans like that.
“The Demon King should have resurrected by now…… This is a big problem.”
At her words, Scarlet reacted.
“Huh? What is?”
“The Gates of Hell are open, right? If the Demon King heads to the human world, wouldn’t it cause trendous chaos?”
At Mia’s words, the faces of the entire Hero Party turned pale.
“Ah…….”
“What do we do…….”
Rembering the Demon King’s imnse power, the Hero Party.
If the entire demon race, strengthened like that, crosses over to the human world?
The Hero Party had no idea how to handle this crisis.
Clearly, if they cross over to the human world, whether it’s the Empire or anything else, it would be hard to withstand.
The entire Hero Party turned their heads and looked at Hans.
Because he was always the one who gave them the answers in such difficult situations.
But unfortunately, Hans couldn’t answer their questions.
***
The situation of traveling with Selena.
“You really don’t rember anything?”
I was embarrassed by Selena’s question.
“No, I don’t rember anything.”
“Hmm…… I see.”
We were camping, feeling the chilly autumn wind.
The campfire illuminated us.
During this ti traveling with Selena, I could vaguely guess what she wanted.
It would be accurate to say she was idly passing ti here, forgetting the complicated situation outside.
Because here, she is like a god.
“But Ms. Selena, where are you headed?”
At my question, she looked at the campfire and said.
“Just, wandering. I haven’t found a place to settle down yet.”
Is it a wanderer concept?
“I see…….”
Silence fell between us.
“Then where are we going?”
At my words, she frowned.
“Shall we go to the Old Continent?”
“The Old Continent?”
I thought she would travel the New Continent like before.
“Yes. I’ve traveled the New Continent a lot already.”
At Selena’s words, I made an embarrassed expression.
“But I have no money…….”
Honestly, without lying, when Selena created this ntal landscape, she didn’t give
anything but clothes.
So, although Selena paid for everything, I had to act the part and make an apologetic expression.
“Don’t worry. I’ll pay for you.”
“Haha, I’m not sure if it’s okay to just freeload like this.”
At my words, she nodded.
“It’s fine. I have a lot of money.”
Is that so? Must be nice to be rich.
And so, we headed towards the Old Continent.
Over a fairly long period, Selena and I beca much closer.
“Hans, this is the Old Continent. Does anything co to mind?”
“No?”
We agreed to speak comfortably to each other and had beco almost as close as before.
No, perhaps even more?
On the ship heading to the Old Continent, she shyly confessed.
For now, I accepted Selena’s confession.
Well, you could say we officially started dating from that day.
During that ti, while getting closer, I pondered ways to persuade Selena, but nothing ca to mind.
If I revealed that I wasn’t suffering from amnesia even now, she might try to reset.
Then all the relationship we’ve built would be reset, so I needed to be even more careful.
“Hmm…… Then what should we do now?”
“Who knows?”
Even though we ca to the Old Continent, we had no plans for what to do.
Then, a shadow passed through my mind.
Selena’s childhood…….
I wanted to see a bit of that ti I didn’t know about.
Thinking that knowing it might provide sothing helpful in persuading her.
But she might react sensitively, so I needed to bring it up naturally.
“Then shall we visit your hotown?”
Selena looked at , surprised, and asked back.
“My hotown?”
“Yeah, I’m curious about how you lived. Why? Don’t want to?”
At my words, she twisted her long hair slightly and said.
“It’s nothing special…….”
“Even so…… I want to know everything about you.”
Speaking to Selena in a slightly cheesy voice, she hesitated.
“It’s not an interesting neighborhood…… and it’s probably in ruins by now…….”
“Ruins?”
I already knew, but I asked subtly, pretending not to.
“Did sothing happen?”
“No, it’s not like that…… Uhm…….”
Selena pondered deeply.
She readily nodded.
“Well, alright. Let’s go once.”
And so, we headed to her hotown.
Stopping at various resorts along the way, visiting hot springs and famous cities.
But…… is it okay to have been here this long?
Even though it’s Selena’s ntal world, I’ve stayed here for almost 6 months.
I had no sense of how much ti had passed in reality.
A week must have…… passed by now?
Maybe the Demon King has resurrected.
Ugh… It would be troubleso if the Demon King resurrects and causes chaos in the human world…….
Am I taking too much ti?
But now is the ti to persuade Selena.
I needed to find out sothing that could change her mind.
I understood that she ca to hate the gods due to the orphanage incident in her childhood.
But why does she follow the God of Death so devotedly?
Selena is a bit different from Davinus.
If that guy is a true fanatic, she’s sowhat… weaker, should I say?
I wanted to know why Selena follows the God of Death.
For example, Roy followed blindly to reunite with his dead family.
In comparison, I didn’t know her reason for following the God of Death.
Perhaps by visiting her childhood, I could find out.
—Whoosh.
It was clearly sumr, but the cool breeze was refreshing.
“Here is?”
“This is my hotown.”
It was a place filled only with the wreckage of collapsed buildings.
Huh? Isn’t this Selena’s orphanage?
I thought we were going to the orphanage I saw last ti, but she suddenly brought
to these ruins.
‘It seems…… Selena has a lot of history.’
