It Is Fate To Be Loved by the Villains

check the purpose

I turned my head as I watched the witch’s drooling saliva dripping in front of my eyes and breathing heavily.

‘Killing is not allowed.’

In that sense, he drew his sword from a distance and waved his hand to tell Elnor, who was trying to join him, not to come close.

No, that person is too old. Once I came here, this amount of monsters would only take a few minutes.

‘However…’

Don’t get confused.

The main purpose of the main quest is not ‘kill the monster’ but ‘reduce casualties’.

When it comes to medium-sized monsters, it’s basic to come out with at least one or two special abilities in addition to basic combat power.

If you have options like ‘Acid Blood’ or ‘Rapid Decay on Death’, even if you win, deaths can occur nearby.

As for direct suppression, it is better to assume such a situation and entrust it to the regular knights who mobilize.

Besides, it’s better not to kill this guy right now.

Because this just popped up in front of my eyes.

[ !Urgent mission! ]

[Currently 0 casualties, what a feat! ]

[Since no one has died, let’s try not to kill even the demons, shall we? ]

[Successfully hand over the Witchbeast to the Knights of the Academy! ]

[ Upon successful completion, the level of ‘exclusive equipment materials’, which is the reward of the main quest, will increase! ]

“…”

Cancer cells are also life, so they are sitting there saying that we must protect them.

But the rewards at stake are unmistakably attractive.

It’s safe to say that the materials used to actually craft exclusive equipment determine more than half of its performance. Because that’s what determines the upper limit of how far you can grow.

‘Then what?’

Shall we just hold on for a while?

Thinking so, I smiled as I looked at the Witchbeast raising its forepaws ferociously.

It would be so powerful that even a single blow would not be able to extract a bone.

I’ve already proven it in a mock dungeon before, but reading the attack patterns of ‘beasts’ is almost like a book for a human like me who has spent countless hours in the game.

It’s not like fighting, just putting up a strong shield and just holding on?

‘I do it with my eyes closed.’

So from here on, it’s just ‘repetition’.

not a battle

●

The Duke of Tristan is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious families that has been with the empire since its inception. Thanks to this, it is easy to intimidate people with just the title of duke.

However, in other words, he is also in line with the meaning that there are as many chuckles and sincerity as the long history.

It is said that even if it is not Margrave Kendride, who has been the most equal, there are people who want the Duke’s family to fall.

And the priest brought in at Daoud’s request was one of those people who was exceptionally venomous.

“Didn’t you say that you left the holy relics behind? Didn’t you hear?”

With a fishy smile on his face, Elnor calmly spoke again, suppressing the urge to slap the middle-aged man on the nose.

“…I feel truly sorry for what happened to the Marquis of Riverback. The Duke of Tristan will definitely take action-”

“I have no idea what you are talking about, do you?”

Sparks flew from Elnor’s eyes at the teasing reply.

In effect, he is saying that there is no room for negotiation.

All of the professors who strongly advocated bringing in living monsters and using them as research materials belonged to the faction under the Duke of Tristan.

It is said that the greater the damage to human life in an accident like this, the wider the scope for liability.

And this damn priest is a person under the command of Marquis Riverback, who belongs to the representative anti-Tristan duchy faction.

‘This trash guy…!’

In other words, this person is talking nonchalantly about sacrificing someone else’s life for political check while wearing a court uniform.

As I listened, anger welled up in my head.

-…

Elnor bit his lip and clutched at his chest.

heart is noisy this time too.

An insidious aura that soars up from there whenever bad feelings intensify. It is the product of madness that the entire family has.

‘…Stand back.’

So, cool your mind and regain your reason.

It is a practice that has been repeated throughout a lifetime.

Observe the rules. Wrap yourself up righteously. always be perfect Never get carried away by insidious feelings.

It’s a principle I learned from the damn guy, but at least it helped when this energy was trying to crawl out.

Perhaps thanks to that, the voice that came out after this was still as cold as before.

Although it was mixed with icy cold anger.

“Dude, are you bringing political interests to this point! It’s an emergency, people’s lives are at stake!”

“Ha, the Duke of Tristan is like this…”

“Then give it to me.”

Elnor’s eyes widened at the sentence that interrupted the priest who was trying to be sarcastic.

It’s Doud Campbell.

Also, this man

-…

-…!

heart beats louder It’s much worse than the last time I felt anger.

However, rather than the insidious emotions surrounding her now, what should I say?

blood rushes to the face My body floats. It is a feeling that she has never experienced before in her life, so she has no choice but to be wary of it.

‘Didn’t I tell you to step back?’

However, the action she had to take right now was the same.

It doesn’t shake. Never surrender the initiative to this sense.

It’s getting worse every time I see that guy these days, but handing over the initiative to something like this is inherently repulsive.

Emotions were something that should never be overdone for her.

‘…back off. I will not lose.’

So, you have to suppress it.

Watching Daud, who took the emergency tool from the priest and ran towards the Witchbeast, accelerated that feeling even more, but nevertheless, he kept it inside his heart.

Even these days, that man’s existence is growing too rapidly. Even Elnor himself was surprised by his own behavior that pops up from time to time.

It’s dangerous to be dragged over there-

“Angel’s protection…! That crazy guy, how could he do that to a student!”

As the priest murmured those words, Elnor’s gaze turned to them.

protection?

Even a formal priest has to go through a long prayer time to use it once, and a freshman uses it like that?

‘…no.’

Now, it’s not particularly strange that that guy would use something like that.

I have already shown you many times that you seem to be hiding dozens of talents.

As she thought about it in a daze, a frightened voice came from beside her.

“…You say you’re fine even after using the divine protection? how…!”

Hearing the priest say that, Elnorre’s eyes also widened.

It is only natural that if you invoke divine protection without a holy relic, it will take a heavy load on your body and mind as a reward.

But, what the hell did that man do to stand still?

“Wow. How else do you know that?”

Then he turned to the other sudden voice, where Elijah struck the priest in the back of the head, knocking him out.

“…”

“Don’t look at me like what are you doing? At first glance, this person seems like trash, so I hit him once.”

“…Where are you coming from?”

“I was passed out until just now, but I just came back to my senses.”

Elijah, who answered in a nonchalant way, soon sat down with a weak gesture.

“That’s a method that combat priests often use. It is to have the protection built into the body from the beginning and draw it out and use it when needed. It’s a method that can only be used after 10 years of studying experience, but how did you know that?”

Perhaps if Daoud had heard of it, he would have been very embarrassed, saying that he did not know how to use such a cumbersome and complicated method. It’s just because I’m just taking out the protection I’ve put in my stuff and using it.

However, after hearing that, a new hypothesis was forming in Elnor’s head.

It has been over 10 years since I studied about Gaho.

-There is something I want to learn at the Divinity Faculty.

I want to study divine protection for a long time and learn it even after entering the academy.

Of all things, the field that is the most direct means to lift the curse of the Duke of Tristan.

– From long ago, there was something I really wanted to protect.

because.

Because there was something I wanted to protect.

– You don’t have to think hard about it because it’s right that you’re trying to protect it.

And who is the target?

-…

-…!!!!!

My heart beats loudly again.

so much that it hurts.

“…”

No, no.

She closed her eyes and pressed her chest with both hands.

should not be eaten have to push

I don’t know anything about that man. I’m not even sure what he meant by that.

‘Elnore, keep your mind straight-‘

Before he could repeat all of those promises, Elijah’s voice interrupted once again from the side.

“I hope you like it.”

“…What?”

“Even if it’s a protection built into the body, it doesn’t mean that there is no burden at all. That person must be pushing his limits right now.”

Likewise, it was an explanation that would have been very disconcerting if Daoud had heard it.

If I had to say pain right now, it would be all the discomfort coming from the vital organ on my left arm, which I had slashed with rosario.

However, Elijah, who had no way of knowing such a fact, calmly continued.

“Because it seems like it will harm you, you’re risking that and doing such bizarre things. Even though I can finish it soon.”

-…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, beyond the throbbing, my heart throbs. It hurts like a tingle.

Elnor shook his head slightly. I was getting short of breath.

“…What are you talking about?”

“If there is a casualty somehow, it will hurt you too, so why don’t you intentionally waste your time without killing anything? look at this.”

Elnor barely opened his eyes and looked towards Daud.

And, on the other side, a one-sided joke that would be embarrassing to even call it a battle continued.

The aspect of reading the path of all attacks of the beast and avoiding, blocking, and deflecting all attacks with minimal movement.

It was the same as the one shown in the mock battle before. A move that only those who know everything about the other person, even the smallest things, can show.

“A person who could do that much would have been able to kill him a long time ago even if he had already killed him. isn’t it? There’s no point in helping.”

Certainly.

But, nonetheless.

“…There’s no reason to do something like that.”

“Isn’t it?”

Elijah replied with a smile.

Elnor, who was biting his lip until blood came out, also gave an answer that reminded me of something.

-I like him quite a bit.

But Elnor bit his lip and managed to shake off that thought.

Instead, she took a step forward, preparing to draw her sword.

“What are you doing?”

“…if everything you say is true, it must mean that the man is putting himself in pain anyway. I have to go and help.”

I thought so.

Until Daoud motioned her away.

‘…why?’

Elijah giggled, seeing her bewildered.

“Hey, you’re a romantic. How do you get your nose pierced like that?”

“What do you mean?”

“You’re telling me not to come because you might get hurt if you come.”

Heat surged up from the heart.

It’s not a sinister energy, it’s a hot energy that even surprises you.

It felt like someone had poured sparks into my veins.

“…what you said, everything, guesses, could be.”

Elijah turned to her with a puzzled look.

Does that sound like that even after seeing that? It was the look in his eyes.

“If it is a medium-sized monster, even if you kill it, it won’t die gracefully. Sometimes there are crazy individuals whose corpses explode due to the reversal of magic power. That person probably took that into account and puts that much burden on himself.”

“…”

Elijah shook his head and let out a deep sigh.

“for you.”

-…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

breathing is drying up My heart is beating like crazy.

‘Control, must…’

no.

No, Elnor.

I thought so hard to myself.

-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uncontrollable heat, to the end.

A feeling that spreads throughout the body.

I missed it. lost the initiative

have been conquered

‘…’

In that moment, she intuitively realized.

From now on, whenever I see that man, I will feel this kind of emotion.

She slumped in her seat.

It was a despondent posture with knees together and the inside of arms gathered together.

“…What are you doing?”

“Keep your mouth shut. Don’t tell me.”

“…”

Elijah was looking back at her with the look of what all these crazy people are, but Elnor didn’t even think to look back.

A shard of glass jutted out of the surrounding mess, reflecting her face.

With an expression she had never seen in her life, her entire face turned red.

To the point where I feel like someone I don’t know.

“…”

Elnore looked at them without speaking.

Until finally, the footsteps of the dispatched regular knights could be heard around, and a loud noise erupted from all directions.

She was staring at her face as if possessed.

＜System Message＞

[ You have succeeded in your emergency mission! ]

[The reward level of the main quest is going up! ]

It was a pleasant message that came to mind after somehow finishing the battle and succeeding in guiding the Witchbeast to the regular knight.

But the reason I can’t help but laugh at this is because of the log attached next to it.

[Skill: A fatal charm activates! ]

[ The villain resists! ]

[‘Pheromone’ option lowers resistance! ]

[ Resistance failed! ]

[ The villain can’t control himself! ]

[ The Villain falls for you! ]

“…”

Cold sweat pours out.

[The favorability level of the target ‘Elnor Elinalize La Tristan’ changes! ]

[The affinity level has been upgraded from ‘Trust’ to ‘Dear’! ]

[ Receiveable rewards are added! ]

[This is an important person. The main scenario changes! ]

[ The opening of the second gift is imminent! ]

[ The target ‘???’ is interested in you! ]

“…”

More desperate emotions flow out of the ship than in the situation of confronting a medium-sized monster on a 1:1 basis.

It’s to the point where I don’t know how I can show that I’ve been in such a meticulously condensed situation.

Following Elijah, there is a phrase that changes will occur in the main scenario, and I don’t know what the gift is, but one more will open soon.

In addition, the unidentified subject even took an interest in me.

‘Fucked…!’

Other than this, I don’t have any thoughts to share.

One of the knights came up to me and handed me a water bottle.

“Good work. You look a bit tired, don’t you?”

He is one of the knights dispatched to suppress the demons this time.

‘…it was a monster.’

It was almost terrifying to see the three of them clean up a medium-sized beast in less than a few seconds.

It must have been a good way to show that regular articles are not objects of envy to students.

“Student, no matter how much I praise you this time, it’s not enough. If it wasn’t for that side, I don’t know how many casualties there would have been.”

Seeing as he said that and tapped me on the shoulder, it seemed that he was treating me kindly.

It was a big thing for a regular article to praise a student like this.

“If it’s that kind of skill, you’d want to catch it anywhere, so you’d be keeping your eyes open, right? Are you aspiring to the Divine Faculty?”

“…Yes. As an aspiring student of the Divinity Faculty, I ask.”

He answers and points to one side.

It was the location of the final boss and the hero who insisted with a strong intention that he would rip off the head of the priest who had earlier refused to spread his protection.

“Can you dry it over there? If you leave me alone, I will really kill you.”

“…Well, actually, he seems like a cheap guy even if he dies. After all, a guy with good talent must have a good character, right?”

no. It’s not such a pure intention.

That priest man, if I’m right, there’s definitely a place to use it.

uh.

There’s such a use that you’d rather die.

“Oh, I was eating. take this.”

Saying so, the knight handed me a letter.

“Well. I don’t know why, but they told me to open it alone.”

After saying that, a sigh came out of my mouth when I saw the article disappearing quickly saying that I was going to take care of myself.

What letter is it again?

As I pondered that thought, another window popped up in front of my eyes.

[ Main quest complete! ]

[Go to the designated location and claim your reward! ]

[ Location: Atalante Swansong’s office ]

Atalante Swansong is a name I know.

Because he is the current president of Elfante Academy.

An undead rumored to have lived for over a thousand years. He is also a person who exerts a key influence on the main scenario.

“…?”

Wait a minute.

President?

My eyes widen and I open the letter I received.

Reading the contents, this is definitely a letter from Atalanta.

It’s an ‘invitation’ rather than a letter.

this person.

He wants to be alone with me right now.

“…”

What.

What is it?
