I Translated the Necronomicon

19. A Trail of Clues to Tie Up All Loose Ends

Navigating through the Ministry of Administration and Security building to avoid the swarming reporters for about an hour…

How in the world did she manage to get Valkyrie’s help?

“Ugh.”

“Ah.”

Just when she pushed open the door, she happened to stumble upon Valkyrie, who had turned a corner of the mortuary into her own private gallery, watching a drama and enjoying her break time.

“…Just act like you didn’t see me and go away.”

“If you don’t help, I’ll grab onto your leg and wail. If you want to see a healthy adult man crying, then go ahead and refuse to help.”

Of course, Valkyrie’s assistance was not entirely voluntary.

Despite Valkyrie’s fierce protest against additional work outside of office hours, including biting her tongue and making displeased expressions, she soon exhaled as if resigned, grabbed the edge of Yudahee’s sleeve with her nails, and pulled her along.

The look in Valkyrie’s eyes seemed to say, “Do I really have to go out because of this trash…?”

Valkyrie’s expression clearly showed how Yudahee treated her.

Before she knew it, Valkyrie’s hand had moved from the sleeve to holding her finger, and in the blink of an eye, the scenery around them had changed as they walked hand in hand.

As they teleported, Valkyrie pulled her hand away slightly and wiped it with a wet tissue, piercing Yudahee with a gaze full of contempt.

She wondered why Valkyrie was giving her such a look… but it seemed there was a reason for it.

“I heard the story… I forgot, there was a contractor who attacked two goddesses… I hope this never happens again. And since it’s unresolved, could you give me some space?”

“Ah, no….”

She pondered over what she might have done wrong, but if there was any mistake, it was simply that she had vigorously defended herself.

But does that mean she couldn’t poke a belly button into a broken water bottle?

The gaze of the Valkyrie, who had wiped her hands, was directed at none other than the window of the divine gallery. Reading the numerous real-time comments displayed there, her expression decayed even further.

[Shocking Reality! Hidden Side of Arena Winner Yumo…]

[Using the victory as an excuse, threatening the contract goddess… and plundering… forcibly even numerous loans…]

[Valkyrie Corps member’s testimony…! When they entered, another victim was about to emerge…]

[You don’t know Yㅇㅇ? Among the contractors I’ve seen, she was the best… -Exclusive interview with A, an employee in the entertainment industry…!]

“…Trash.”

In the expression of the Valkyrie, like watching foreign media that shouldn’t exist, Yudahee’s self-esteem crumbled in real-time.

Don’t look at me with those eyes…

Driven to madness by the dedication of the vultures spreading and disseminating things that never happened. An unjust accusation, though it was just that… What could one do for Valkyrie, who vanished without a chance to explain.

…Incitement could be done in a single sentence, but to explain it requires dozens of documents and evidence.

Ah, Lord Goebbels… I don’t particularly miss you…

Yudahee’s life points were already zero.

As the scenery changed, she arrived at the penthouse that had burst open at the entrance.

As if asking when the Valkyries did such a thing, everything was neatly restored. On one side, two condolence wreaths warmly welcomed the battered Yudahee. One was a white chrysanthemum, and the other was a floral arrangement adorned with various colors.

[Unicorn Department, all staff]

-Dike and Adikia are no longer qualified for our Virginity Covenant conditions, and have been removed from the premium customer list.

-Virgin credit rating, we regret to inform you of the downgrade from aaa to D.

-For details… please refrain from contacting us in this direction… as it’s handled by a non-virgin.

“….?”

What is this insane chaos…?

And on the opposite side, it was no different.

[Unicorn & Bycon Corporation]

[Bycon Department, All Staff]

-Mr. Deke and Mrs. Adikia have been included in our top-tier customer list!

-Non-virgin credit rating upgraded from D to aaa. Congratulations.

-For more details and benefits, please contact ‘Broken Horn’ team leader at 070-****-****, and we will gladly provide information!

Are these guys really speaking sensibly? – the inquiry lock mechanism at the back locked automatically without a chance for interference.

And that wasn’t an ordinary situation, rather a perfect seal without any flaws.

A warning not to even think about escape.

Wondering what was going on… looking around, Adikia, emitting an ominous purplish glow from her hands, was staring in this direction with an expressionless face.

Adikia, with her original power fully restored, had a gaze… filled not just with disdain, beyond hatred, something close to abhorrence.

Gulp…

Examining each detail, Yudahee might not have done anything majorly wrong, but when gathered, it was truly a disaster; the spit involuntarily went down the throat, like the feeling of a countryside dog meeting a neighborhood thug in the alley.

“Go to the living room and kneel.”

“Yep.”

Without any objection, she closed her eyes tightly and headed towards her deathbed.

*****

Maintain silence in the courtroom. Thump, thump, thump.

An improvised stage for explanations.

Dike was staring through with golden shining eyes, and Adikia stood at the back, hands full of the power to crush Yudahee at any moment.

The determination to dispose of her immediately if the explanation did not please them even a little.

“Um, I believe that summary execution has disappeared since the 6.25 ceasefire-“

“Shut it.”

“Yep.”

Yudahee’s throat felt dry, as if she had turned into a mouse with cheddar spread nicely on top of her head.

“Begin.”

To survive, she had never been concerned about the details, nor had any personal motives, and she slowly began to explain.

Prove your innocence, Yudahee.

“…So, that’s how it happened…”

From the moment she posted on the Sacred Gallery, to the events after her collapse, and the moment Adikia came with a dagger.

She never told a lie.

“…So, leaving it as it was at that time wasn’t an option?”

“No, with everything covered in dirt from top to bottom, how could anyone leave that as it is? Then, immediately after in the bathroom… phase 3 of… No, it’s…! No, leaving that as it is while in such a state, wouldn’t that be a sign of a problem with human decency…?”

And it was an expected outcome for the Valkyries to come… If one were to execute two goddesses covered in all sorts of filth, what would they think of themselves…?

I wonder if it wouldn’t have been worse than it is now.

Neglectful gameplay…ㅗㅜㅑ;;

It felt like hearing the delusion, “Welcome to the National Scatology Association.”

“Is it that kind of preference… – No, no, not at all. I’m sorry. Please spare me.”

As Adikia’s brow furrowed, he quickly hit his head.

While it wasn’t that I couldn’t respond to Adikia’s attack… considering the situation, it was right to bow my head.

Adikia stared at Yudahee for a while, then turned his head towards Dike.

“Dike, do you think he’s lying?”

“No, it’s not a lie… Aura didn’t waver.”

After Dike’s characteristic, the eyes of truth judged Yudahee, Adikia grabbed his head and leaned on the sofa.

Ugh, damn.

Adikia, exhaling a sigh, made a groaning sound full of frustration and agony.

“Ultimately, this is all a misunderstanding. But to those outside, it doesn’t look like that at all…!”

Opening the divine gallery to show the situation… it was a complete mess.

[If you think this jerk is a GOAT, you’re out of your mind]

-Yudahee in the waiting room of the arena, naked.JPG

ㄴGOAT? It’s JOAT.

ㄴDamn… even with rough mosaic, is it really that bulging?

ㄴMe too… I want to join. They did everything, biting, sucking, kissing, hitting…?

Deke, come to think of it, isn’t that the goddess who ate two golden apples? Her divine body, Balus, was legendary.

Legendary figures compete with legendary figures… Seriously.

So, what’s Adikia’s role then?

The goddess who got NTR’d by the golden apples.

Kit-samaaa!

In the blink of an eye, Yudahee found himself disguised as a contractee of three goddesses, a first in history. On the flip side, Deke and Adikia’s evaluations were utterly destroyed.

[Honestly, it seems like both goddesses are still virgins, so relax.]

– There’s no such thing, Gaea! Lol.

– The goddesses you desperately wish for!

– No matter what!!!

– Absolutely!!!

– A pierced virgin never returns, Gaea! Lololololol.

[Imagine a frog clapping its hands repeatedly]

They say divine beings live on pride, but their images had completely plummeted.

And the problem wasn’t just that.

“From the Dimensional Credit Vault… Pressure to recover the principal has started…”

It turns out that one of the conditions Deke put forward for borrowing money from the Dimensional Credit Vault has become an issue.

“…Maintain your virginity? What kind of crazy condition is that, with all these other conditions?!”

Are you telling me that maintaining your virginity is necessary to keep the loan?

Now that I think about it, Deke had been saying stuff like that all along.

“Do they say we’re being dragged into the cosmic gateway… is that true?”

I started to think that maybe we need some deep contemplation about this Dimensional Credit Vault thing.

It was a case of adding insult to injury, and it seemed that not only Deeke but Adikia was in a similar situation.

“I might be a little tight on funds because of the explosion…”

Adikia also clenched her fist and frowned.

“Perhaps Adikia is also a vi…”

“What? I don’t need to resort to such tacky loan conditions?! Can you not see me as equivalent to those credit defaulters?!”

Adikia genuinely looked upset and shivered as if repelled by Yudahee.

“Unlike this pathetic Deeke, I have a considerable number of speculation points, so I can sell them if necessary!”

Come to think of it, Adikia had enough surplus points to set a snipe for 20 points.

If it were someone else’s money, it would be like watching a fire across the river, but unfortunately, Deeke’s debt was as good as her own, so she had no choice but to repay it together.

And in the meantime, there were even other newcomers who took advantage of the situation to send contract transfer agreements to Deeke as alarms.

Certainly, it was a crisis, but… perhaps there was a chance that it could pass without too much trouble than expected, a thought that briefly crossed Yudahee’s mind.

After all, the more intense the issue, the more volatile it was, often extinguishing quickly.

And even if it didn’t go out easily, there was a way of its own.

Issues bury bigger issues.

Why not, when a political scandal erupts, a sudden celebrity romance rumor, a s*x scandal, or even a drug case comes out one or two days later, it’s a national rule.

This time, the sequence was a bit different, but…

“Still, there hasn’t been any official announcement about the speculation arena, right?”

“There… hasn’t been one, right?”

Deke had never heard of it.

“You’ve smashed everything, so there’s nothing left to come out of it… They say they just discarded the planet itself and now use it as a resource planet… No, let’s ask once. What kind of move did you make to destroy the arena planet-“

“Help me, Dekeémon.”

“Huh.”

Before receiving any more questions, Deke swiftly lifted Adikia and threw her towards him.

Adikia was also clueless about the recent incident in front of the arena.

… If that was the case, this could be useful.

“I’ve been searching everywhere for a Valkyrie who can teleport in the middle of space, and I’ve seen a few things.”

Unable to clearly ask to go back and return Mikaela and Gabrielle, he had moved alone.

Buildings deserted as if everyone had gone on a business trip.

In such a situation, extracting information was not an easy task.

And it was something Yudahee himself didn’t know, but the authorization grade imprinted on his body for a short time to meet Mikaela and Gabrielle was the highest level permit that could enter everywhere, except for some areas.

No alarms wherever he went, and even if he encountered others, they would just glance at him for a moment and casually let him go, saying, ‘Well… it’s a permit grade, so it should be fine~’.

After an hour of hesitation, Yudahee came to a conclusion.

“How do you feel about the fact that the Management Bureau and the Manma Company are collaborating to launch a new arena?”

A smile blossomed on Yudahee’s face as he confirmed the hooks rising above the heads of the two goddesses.

A hook to end all loose ends…

The news of the collaboration between the two forces, which seemed absolutely unlikely, set the divine gallery on fire.
