chapter 25
25 – Saint Irina (5)
Saint Irina (5)
Esmeralda was confident in her performance. She immediately joined the party of warriors for three years. Hadn’t she endured that long time, acting like an idiot?
Her patience and calmness were unusual.
“Die! Die! You pervert!”
Yes, even if she hadn’t been harassed by Jim, she could have endured longer.
Unfortunately, she was still an immature warrior, that was Esmeralda.
Esmeralda was feverish and began choking Jim.
She was so excited that she couldn’t even think of reading Jim’s thoughts, her face flushed red like it was about to explode.
“Nong, kidding…… Is.”
“What?”
“It was a joke. Warrior.”
“Are you kidding me like that?”
The misunderstanding has been resolved, but the anger has not. She is the one who has recently been exposed to Jim’s ruthless s*xual desire.
She couldn’t help but overreact.
“No, what the hell were you thinking? I’m very disappointed. Warrior.”
Jim grunted, touching his clothes as if he felt unfair.
However, Esmeralda is just dumbfounded by Jim’s attitude.
[Note: I vividly recall the feeling of your thighs riding on top of me when I was choking. I am very sorry.]
“You say that…… ?”
Resentment. However, the frustration of not being able to tell even if you know. Esmeralda had tears in her eyes at her own plight, one-sidedly being her bad b*tch.
“…… So you’re saying you didn’t do anything to me?”
“It’s not like I didn’t do anything at all…… ?!”
Jim held on to Esmeralda’s wrist as she approached his neck again and fought desperately.
This time it was different from the previous action. This wasn’t about begging, but it contained the power to break it.
“I was trying to wake you up! To wake you up!”
“…… Really?”
“Yes!”
[Remark: If I knew I would strangle her like this, I’d rather touch her breasts.]
Esmeralda lost her words.
It’s good that he didn’t cross the line, but that’s what she was thinking.
I’d rather kill and get rid of this now is the way to bring peace and well-being to the world.
But she is a warrior. With her superhuman mental strength, she held out.
“Ugh… ….”
I didn’t kill Jim, but I felt hot on my shoulders that Jim had grabbed and shook me to wake me up.
Esmeralda seriously contemplated whether she herself had accumulated s*xual desire during her journey, whether she knew it or not.
‘This, how shameless… ….’
Esmeralda couldn’t help but feel her sense of self-doubt because she hadn’t been able to think about it herself until now.
Just like that, when Esmeralda was freed from her self-doubt and her baggage was freed from her trouble breathing. The two were finally able to discuss the current situation with a serious attitude.
“Where is your last memory?”
“Well, I mean… ….”
Jim trawled through his memory and explained it in as much detail as possible.
And after hearing the story, Esmeralda was able to summarize all of her actions in one word.
“So you said you went on a date? I got it. I feel devastated that Irina and Lululala were on a date when I passed out with a syringe stuck in my throat.”
“Hero, you seem to be in a bad mood lately, but maybe on a magical day… ….”
“s*xual harassment.”
“Yes, sorry.”
[Remark: I think it’s the week of the magic day that comes every month to women.]
“… ….”
Esmeralda let out a deep sigh. Blocking her snout doesn’t stop her from thinking. She is
She is also responsible for showing herself for who she really is, for her failure to play the fool until recently.
From the beginning, the figure was dotted with lies.
Wouldn’t it be a perfect situation to go on a date with Hwang Chun-gil right away if you keep it up to this emergency situation?
Just the thought of going on a date with Jim and no one else is terrifying.
‘Looking at the current situation, I think Irina did it after all… ….’
Even if the two of them were imprisoned right away.
This is inexcusable.
What the hell can you say as an excuse for locking up the hero and his luggage?
Of course I will do it for others.
However, for her to convince herself is the same as giving up in the first place.
That means that Irina had no intention of convincing her Esmeralda from the beginning.
If she realizes her plan anyway, it will be after Esmeralda becomes a sacred object of the Celestial Church.
‘But why?’
It was easy to guess what Irina was about to do.
However, at this timing, as a member of the hero’s party, she could not even think of a reason why she had to go so far as to abandon the mission of defeating the demon lord.
Would you be afraid of the demon king now? Does she have any certainty that this journey will fail?
Or… ….
“Oh, come to think of it, we had this conversation at the end.”
“What kind of conversation is that?”
“Um… …. Do you think there are miracles in this world? It was the same question.”
“What did you say?”
“I asked if there would be.”
Jim explained what was going on at the time.
Esmeralda unexpectedly thought that Jim’s idea was plausible.
If miracles don’t exist and everything is just a coincidence, I’ll consider the process that led to that coincidence as a miracle.
The result does not change, it is just a difference in perspective, but that alone can change the way people think.
That was an endemic problem of the Celestial Church, so Jim’s Seon dialogue was surprisingly plausible.
“So I said. Wouldn’t it be a miracle that a criminal like me joined the hero’s party?”
“Ah… ….”
However, Esmeralda understood Jim’s answer at the end.
Jim’s joining is not a miracle. It’s not even a coincidence.
Thoroughly planned work.
But since I heard that as an example, it wouldn’t be strange if the credibility of the plausible words lined up before me fell vertically in an instant.
“Mr Jim… …. You did it.”
“…… Did i do something wrong? Is that why it happened?”
“Unfortunately, it seems that Irina’s evil has been touched.”
“Then what about me?”
“Honestly, I don’t know, but I think I might turn into a handful of blood.”
The situation is the situation. Esmeralda finally guessed what Irina was thinking and she released it to Jim.
She can’t do it alone.
This is the heart of the Celestial Church. If it was 1:1, defeating Irina wouldn’t be a problem, but if she turned all the forces of the Celestial Church into enemies, it would be inevitable.
‘I’m not sure why Jim was locked up like me, but it’s clear that Irina cares about Jim.’
So I won’t try to kill Jim right away. After all, Jim’s special power is only known to himself.
‘There’s no way Jim was Irina’s test subject. Am I just keeping her locked up in preparation for any possible rebellion?’
Unfortunately, Esmeralda had no idea what being a half-race demon meant to Irina.
The problem may be that she is a mixed-race demon in the first place.
I just know of the mysterious nature of Blue Blood. Even that was a problem that had only recently been identified, so Esmeralda decided to use Jim with her light heart.
It was the moment when Jim fell into hell again.
“Good. Got it? There’s no way Irina will kill Mr. Jim anyway, so she just needs to run in the other direction and get her attention.”
“By the way, hero. Can I ask you one question?”
“I’m running out of time, ask me as soon as possible.”
“I don’t know why the saintess thinks she’s killing the hero.”
“…… They must be using my corpse to make a sacred object for the Celestial Church. Because I am that, a warrior.”
There are many gods in this world.
And most of them are local gods or miscellaneous gods.
That’s why the authority of the heavenly gods who bestowed miracles on this world was strong.
However, there are no heavenly gods now. It is hard to imagine how messy the politics must have been before the Church of the Celestials collapsed once and rose to this position again.
A hero appeared in such a situation.
The hero is the ‘seed of a miracle’ created by joining the aforementioned local gods, miscellaneous gods, and even the celestial gods.
Yes, her existence means that she is half like an apostle of God.
Her plan is to grind her up and create some kind of ritual device to recreate her celestial miracle.
Esmeralda explained her current situation to her Jim, based on her own guesses and the information she had uncovered so far.
“Do you understand?”
“Hero, you are smarter than I thought. You know everything.”
“… ….”
Esmeralda wanted to punch Jim in the muzzle even though she wasn’t in a position to laugh.
“By the way, the hero is also the hero. Did you really believe in that? Isn’t that kind and pure saintess like that?”
“What the f*ck…… “
The difference between the images you usually create.
Even as Esmeralda gnashed her teeth, she endured without swinging her fist because she knew that the cause was in herself.
“Yes… …. I say yes. But we are now incarcerated. Let’s say Irina is nice and pure, as Jim said. Then what would you say about the current situation?”
“Um… ….”
“No, good. Let’s assume that up to that point. What if it wasn’t Irina who did this? Then someone else did it, but wouldn’t the conclusion be the same in the end? Did you do something in the Celestial Church?”
Esmeralda said, pointing to the scenery outside her cage.
This is still inside the Celestial Church.
In other words, even if she wasn’t Irina, she was committed by a member of the Celestial Church.
And why is the Celestial Church detaining the hero?
“It is said that no matter who made it, the conclusion is the same.”
“No, warrior. There is a fatal error there.”
“Good. Talk about it I will endure as much as I can to keep her from punching me.”
Jim was intimidated for a moment by Esmeralda’s somewhat prickly attitude, but she cautiously opened her mouth.
[Remark: Even if you are smart, I still think you are stupid.]
Esmeralda rolled her fists and prepared to strike at Jim’s moment, but Jim expressed his opinion sooner than that.
“In the first place, the warrior’s corpse cannot be used to make a holy relic.”
How do you know that?
Esmeralda was speechless as she looked so confident.
