Side Story – Sometimes DLC Is Good # 3
Side Story – Sometimes DLC is good # 3
Flora said she often wanders around the eastern port.
The big Victoria said it was traveling to the snowy mountains in the north.
Hilde is a physical education teacher who appears throughout Ludens Academy.
Finding them was easier than I thought.
Because they are all celebrities, they herd people around like sheep.
By the way.
There were quite a lot of sheep today.
Buzz buzz-.
Port in the east.
As I was wondering why there were so many people here, I heard someone talking.
“I had a pain in my back, but it’s completely healed!”
“My body aches have also recovered. After all, it’s Flora.”
I see.
Flora is healing people.
Although Flora had lost most of what could be called divine power, I had heard that he used his power to heal people whenever he had the chance.
“Excuse me.”
As I was walking through the crowd of people, I saw Flora sitting in a cafe.
Next to them were saints, and the three women sitting there were quite powerful.
“Flora, hello.”
I spoke to Flora.
Then Flora frowned slightly and then asked me.
“Are you here to propose to me?”
“…”
How did you know?
Was Flora such a perceptive person?
Who would have thought that Flora, who was full of cruelty, would become such a quick-witted adult.
Time was such an amazing thing.
“Well, the rumor has spread that Viktor has taken Miss Domina as her fourth wife. Victor, I wondered if you were slowly moving again.”
“… “I see.”
I was a celebrity in my own right.
It appeared in newspapers several times and was covered on television several times.
These days, that trend has calmed down a bit, but with the recent confession about Domina, stories about me seemed to be on people’s lips again.
I feel like I got a big spoiler.
Flora said.
“There would have been a big Victorian one too. “I’m glad you came to me first.”
I guess I’ll have to hide the fact that I rolled the dice.
While I was thinking about that, Flora spoke.
“Victor, what is marriage?”
What is marriage?
I had a child.
He also had several wives.
It was nice to see him as an expert in marriage in his own way.
However, when I asked what marriage was, there was no clear answer.
Even I still don’t know what marriage is.
However.
One thing was certain.
“It’s good to have a lot of family to celebrate this and that. “They rejoice with us even in worthless things, and sad with us when we are sad.”
My life was like an iron pillar stuck alone in the ground.
However, as I grew up with a family and spent noisy evenings together every day, I felt like my long-ago self-righteous days had melted away like a lie.
If I were to confess to women like Domina, Flora, or Hilde, the main reason would be because I wanted to share those feelings.
I wish more people could talk in front of a warm fireplace.
I think the more family you have, the better if you can take responsibility─.
In many ways, that is the conclusion I have come to after six years of marriage.
Flora hummed in response to my serious story.
“I wish I had told you that a little earlier.”
“I also had a lot of worries in many ways. Also, just dealing with Victorica, Nike, and Enio was daunting in many ways.”
“That’s an excuse.”
“I know.”
Slurrr-.
Flora opened her narrow eyes.
Her saints who were with her just watched with tense eyes, as if they found this situation amusing.
Everyone around them also fell silent.
“What happens?”
“I don’t know either. “Be quiet.”
“Flora, are you getting married?”
A tense situation in many ways.
Finally, Flora broke her long silence and spoke.
“I am not a petty woman. If you just nod your head here, Viktor, you and other people will look ridiculous. There are conditions.”
Conditions?
Are you talking about something like a coma?
Just when I thought it was fortunate that it wasn’t a bottomless rejection, Flora added her words to her.
“There are seven-color coral gems that can be found in this sea. It’s a very nice pearl. “I would like you to make a ring out of it.”
What are the seven colors of coral gems?
It was my first time hearing this too.
Soon the people were very upset.
“Are you talking about being in the Sea of Death?”
“It’s a legendary gem. I wonder if even hero Victor can save it…”
“Shh, I don’t think we’ve finished talking yet, so let’s be quiet.”
Flora’s words She is not over yet.
Flora added a few words with her clear eyes.
“I also wish there was an ancient ice cap available in the snowy mountains of the north. “If I could make glass shoes with that, they would be sparkly and pretty.”
An ancient ice cap?
It was also a type of item I had never heard of before.
However, just by hearing the name, it felt clear that it would be extremely difficult to obtain.
This is my feeling as a gamer.
Rarity EX grade.
Of course, I have family and colleagues who will be with me─.
“Of course, Viktor, you have to do it on your own. You shouldn’t ask for help from your family. Do you understand?”
“I see.”
Is it prohibited to receive help from others?
When I was about to get up after being convinced in many ways, Flora added one last word.
“I wish I could bring the tears of the moon again.”
Tears of the moon?
What is that again?
I wonder if other people don’t know anything about this either, saying “What is that?” Or “I don’t know either. I just muttered, “Maybe it’s like Sol’s eyes.”
Gems that can be found in the sea.
The northern ice cap.
And ‘tears of the moon’ whose identity itself is unclear.
The most difficult quest given to me after a long break from active duty.
Honestly, can I do this on my own?
Even if it was possible, I didn’t know how long it would take.
Perhaps this could have been Flora’s own euphemistic expression of ‘rejection’.
It could be a saintly metaphor that says, don’t do anything else now and take good care of what you have achieved so far.
Or maybe he just wants to vent his anger by asking me an impossible problem.
I didn’t know exactly what Flora was thinking, but the die was cast anyway.
“…”
No, actually, things like dice didn’t really matter.
Because we are living people, not pieces in a game.
If you just do what you want, that will be enough.
“Okay, Flora. You can look forward to it.”
I kicked my seat.
Then people started cheering.
“Will we be able to see the true colors of the hero Victor again?”
“I look forward to the newspaper every morning, yes!”
* * *
“I’m bored.”
I felt troubled in many ways.
Since I was in the eastern port after a long time, I was trying to find something called the “Seven-Colored Coral Jewel” That can be found in the sea.
But when all the shipowners heard my story, they stuck their tongues.
“A fearsome monster lives in that sea area. “I can’t go.”
“Seven-colored coral jewels? It’s in a place called the Sea of Death… !”
“Do you know how rough the waters around there are? No matter how much you are, Victor, you can’t defeat the sea. And how many years has it been since you last put down a knife?”
I see.
Is this a place that even the Ludens crew, who must have suffered from rough seas nearby, expressed disapproval?
Just how rough is the sea that people are so afraid of?
“It’s difficult.”
Should I even float a boat by myself?
Honestly, I couldn’t see any other answer than that.
Of course, I had no navigation skills at all.
It was clear that if I launched the boat into the rough sea like this, I would sink in the sea.
Although on Ludens Island, death is now more than just a state…, Resurrection costs a lot of money in many ways.
If I died for no reason, Victorica, who manages the family’s money, might rip my head off.
“It’s difficult.”
It was when I was looking at the beach alone and hesitating.
Wow-.
Something flew towards my face.
It is salty sea water.
When I turned my head, something was sticking out its face in the sea.
There was something familiar about the sight of a beautiful woman with wet hair and glasses.
“Calypso, the elder of the Sirens?”
Siren.
They were beings that I once helped on Crescent Moon Island.
It would be better to think of it as a mermaid of the sea.
Nike especially liked it.
Everyone flaps their fins a lot.
Siren Elder Calypso asked.
“What are you having so much trouble looking at the sea? The sound of your sighs was enough to make the waves rumble.”
I didn’t sigh.
Anyway.
This meeting was truly fateful… No, I don’t like the word fateful, so it would be better to find another word.
When I was looking for the right word for that feeling, the Siren spoke.
“I don’t know what problem you are suffering from, but we Sirens have received great help from you, Victor. It’s okay to say it’s a debt that will have to be repaid someday. It seems the time has come to repay our debt.”
“It’s a debt.”
I never thought of it as a debt for helping Siren.
“Debts must be repaid-. Victor, if it were you, you would have said that. “I don’t know what’s going on, but if it’s about the sea, we can help.”
Sirens were mermaids.
It could have been described as stagnant water in the sea.
Stagnant water in the sea… The expression is a bit strange, but I don’t think there’s a better analogy than that.
I told him about my situation because I thought it was going well.
─A sea anemone.
Siren Elder Calypso, who was soon listening to the story, nodded her head.
“Right. It is a gem of seven colors of coral. It’s in rough waters. It is a sanctuary that even veteran fishermen or captains cannot easily enter.”
“Are you having a hard time too?”
“No. Our sirens can come and go easily. In the first place, that sea is the resting place of Charybdis, the goddess we serve. Victor, you would let me in.”
The goddess Charybdis.
Did you say she was the goddess who rules the sea?
Hwii Iik-.
Then Calypso whistled.
Then the sea seemed to make a big splash, and then something that looked like a large red shell emerged.
━Crab Grab.
It was a huge crab.
As for how big it was, it was almost as big as a normal bus.
And the crying sound was unique, and as I listened to this crying sound, I felt like something was coming to me.
“Crabnoy?”
It resembles Crabnoy, one of Arnoy’s animal friends.
Isn’t Crabnoy currently working as a chef at Ludence’s PC room?
The taste of the soup he brewed was refreshing and excellent.
When did that guy get this big?
Soon Calypso spoke.
“This guy is the father of the crab you call Crabnoy. His name is Grab. “They said they wanted to express their gratitude to you guys for releasing the crabnoi instead of catching it and eating it.”
━Grab.
I see.
Originally, we tried to catch and eat crabnoys.
However, instead of catching and eating it, he only made soup and released it.
At that time, it seemed like it was helpful in some way.
“Get on Grab’s shell.”
“Oh.”
Zek-.
I thought I had all kinds of experiences, but it was my first time riding on a crab’s shell.
