Duke, Please Repent! chapter 73

The Duke and the Arena (1)

Finally, we arrived at the final destination, Count Richard of the Kingdom of Bastul.

"After all, train operation must be held no matter what!"

At my endless words, as always, Serpens ignored them with a gentle smile.

That's what it looks like on the surface.

Seeing a sharp gleam in his eyes,

'What does that mean? someday on the train

Will there be a situation where the service is suspended?'

You seem to be spinning your head while thinking the same thing as . I'll have to be careful.

On the other hand, Eugenes could not contain his regret.

Perhaps because of the fear of closure, he thought I had lost my mind.

I'm saying this because I think it's much better to ride a train than to ride a horse, even though it's completely blocked off. When I think about it that way, it doesn't feel cramped even in a small place. It doesn't seem like anything anymore.

Ah..., you almost fell off the horse.

I don't think I'll have to walk the aisle on the train when I go back.

It was a 'burn' to fall, not a real fall, so I was able to safely avoid setting up a new phobia.

For reference, the reason he almost fell off the horse was because he lost his hand holding Serpence while hanging on the back of him.

'Did you fly in the air for a moment?'

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

It happened so quickly.

When I woke up, Serpens had already grabbed my arm. And at about the same time, Eugenes summoned the spirit and lifted my body with the wind.

In the end, Serpens pulled out his arm and sat me in front of him.

'Yeah, it's safer for a serpent to catch me than it is for me!'

Realizing the importance of seat belts, he gave him the nickname Serbelt in his heart.

It was right after I almost fell, so at first I was nervous and stiff without realizing it.

However, thanks to the reliable Servelt, I was able to restore my stability and surrender myself comfortably.

Thanks to that, riding a horse was not scary or uncomfortable.

'It's just that I don't want to ride that long.'

It's only been a day or two like this time, I'm not sure.

But it is very boring to just sit and do nothing for a long time.

I wasn't making fun of the two of them who drove their horses hard, and I couldn't even try to talk freely.

First of all, we'll unpack today and figure out how to enter the arena.

I know. Shall I go and buy a ticket?

She knew even the win rate of a gladiator.

It's like how to buy an admission ticket, of course you've figured it out.

But what does it mean to speak plainly as if you were going to buy a movie ticket?

Um... I don't know how long it will take, so I'd rather keep the 'that' scroll, so I'll go. Just tell me how.

The 'that' scroll that Serpens spoke of here means that it contains magic that can hide Eugene's long ears.

It's a waste to spend it just to buy a ticket.

As soon as he got to the inn, Serpens heard the method from Eugene and went out alone.

It went well. Percent-nim continued to keep his seat, so what did I do?

Yes?

Shortly after he went out, Eugese came over and made an incomprehensible noise.

"What is our plan?" Come to think of it, I didn't talk about how to rob the Hakkigi.

Destroy the arena itself, or bring it out.

'And first, we should listen to the past and check if the article is correct, right?'

According to Eugenes, it seems it's been months since he rolled in the arena.

If he was the Black Knight, wouldn't he be sharpening his teeth in a burning desire for revenge?

'They're trying to kill So Young-joo and his fellow knight, who sold him... .'

If you let it go, it seems like you'll be hired by the demon worshipers again.

Would the words make sense against him, who would have turned his eyes upside down in the face of evil? Attempts to persuade are possible only through dialogue.

'If you can bring him to our side, that would be the best.'

If that is not possible, it would be nice if even the poison could be omitted so as not to fall into the devil worship forces.

Serpens, he's a careful guy, so he could have spent time roasting it, but... .

Wait, Serpens?

Serpens said, 'I forgive your sins.' , and spurt out a divine brilliance! Wouldn't he too be moved to repentance with tears in his eyes?

I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand what you were talking about.

It's like an artificial intelligence-like answer somewhere.

As the time we spent together on the train increased, Eugenes, who was very accommodating to my nonsense at first, also changed like this.

After saving him, Serpence will tell the reporter.

"Doesn't he know the exact circumstances?

Will you try to convince me?"

Don't worry. You're not the kind of person who just sees a sad and pitiful person and ignores them. When you hear the story, they will comfort you well. If you don't feel any emotion at all, it's even weirder!

You must have respected him.

No, did I say that I was disrespectful for that?

They just treated him comfortably as a friend, but in this society, the walls of status are too high and thick.

'This is why Humanus must have entered the best friend mode alone with Serpens.'

It is a bleak society to say that you have to make friends according to the conditions.

I thought that when we stood in front and drew attention, Sion-nim's escort secretly took him away. Oh, that's right! As a reverse scout, I thought you were creating a force working in the shadows with us.

Even today, it seems that the delusional circuit in Eugene's head is working hard.

If only I could get into her head, I'd disintegrate that secret society.

It seems you wanted to make a reliable companion for the next holy sword owner.

As if admiring my ability to look ahead a few numbers, Eugenes said with his eyes shining.

Such respect was not appreciated at all.

Beyond that, the words 'No, this is the devil!' came out of nowhere.

'Why the hell is everyone so anxious that they can't give our kids a fucking sword!'

Let's compare it to those who hand over everything to the master of the holy sword and let go of their hands.

Her idea of secretly helping her by growing her power in the dark was very peculiar.

'Still, I can't use the first sword.'

Whether Serpens will join in the salvation of the continent or not. It is a matter of his own will, and he must not be driven by coercion and responsibility.

Since it is a continent where we live together, the idea that we should all work together has not changed.

Serpence deserves to choose it for himself. He has the right to be compensated for his past.

'Isn't that going to change the selection result of the first sword?'

Both of you hand over the sword to Serpens, so these doubts also rise.

If you don't hand over the first sword to him, the continent becomes a sea of blood, but just giving it to him makes his mental state unstable, so he's worried about that.

So the god Luxmea was planning to put me here and make him heal his mind, and then give him a spear sword.

'Eh, ah. no way .'

If he had a conscience, he wouldn't do such a thing.

Even if such a plan was made, new looks

Mea would be better off fixing it right away.

If at least one of the first swords was handed to Serpens, I would .

'Yes. God Luxmea means trash, and I will call it New Luxmea!'

It was a very timid rebellion, but there was nothing I could do about it.

"The choice of the Holy Sword has not been made yet, so why is it that everyone thinks it is a final decision No, it is not."

It seems that I made a mistake in my words again because I was crying without realizing it.

If you hear something like this, you'll find it strange to say something like that.

" Ah. Come to think of it, I never doubted that."

" Yes?

Yes?

With his eyes twitching, Eugenes expressed his doubts as if there was something wrong.

Ah, no . If you were to say something like this, I knew you would say something so you shouldn't say it for granted.

"Isn't that so? The choice of the Holy Sword is coming soon, so it's a question you're likely to have at least once.

I think-

uh ?"

Hey, it's not humans who choose, but God Luxmea, aren't you? Trying to judge God's will.

Yeah, that's right! It's God's will to make the choice, so we shouldn't let the answers come our way!

Is it because she's an elf? I didn't know that I would break the wall of prejudice so easily just by asking a small question.

choice day.

People in that place are narrow-minded

Instead of blaming Serpense in this way, if they reflected on their mistakes like Eugenes now.

If that was the case, Serpence would be caught in the fear derived from the past. Because of that, there was no need to point a sword at the continent.

Sion-sama is a devout believer who truly believes in God Luxmea. Without some faith, he would not have had such a doubt. May God Luxmea-sama's protection always be with Zion...

Eugene said reverently in a prayerful posture.

However, it was only a few minutes ago that the god Luxmea was called Luxrek'a. If I am a devout believer, then the demon worshipers are also followers of the god Luxmea.

"Go, thank you ."

It seems that Euges is an ardent follower of the god Luxmea.

I'll have to take special care not to accidentally put the word Luxrek'a in my mouth.

You might hand me over to the Heretic Inquisitor right away.

'Come to think of it, is it a pointless statement to be mistaken for a demon worshiper?'

What's more, from [Master of the Holy Sword]

Even the demon worshipers did not call the god Luxmea that way.

Although the preceding 'god was often omitted, it was not called as Luxreek, or (etc.) God Luxmea.

' what is this? Am I the only one who is profane?' I have no intention of swearing at other people's religion, but I can't help it. God Luxmea doesn't feel like a 'god' to me.

What was the reaction in the comment window when they saw Serpens using divine power and slicing humans in [Master of the Holy Sword]?

[Me Luxme a Trolling Gaeji Neck]

=1 よツよ]

[In front of the new Luxmea, the word 'back' is silenced. It's true, I hacked the writer's computer and checked the original text!]

The most memorable ones were roughly like this.

But now, isn't it more ridiculous to fear and admire the god Luxmea?

It would have been the same if it was not me, but someone else possessed.
