I Entered a Gacha Game That Had Been Abandoned for 10 Years

188 – Divergence (4)

“W-well, I’m so embarrassed…”

“I’m sorry…”

Kim Hyun-woo was squinting his eyes shut with a dizzy expression just thinking about it, and he was bowing his head.

Right before his eyes, he could see Loriel and Giral, who seemed to be deeply ashamed of this situation, bowing their heads.

“Hee-”

“Hmph-”

…And next to them, he could see Shadrah and River trembling in fear as they received Loriel and Giral’s invisible glares.

“Whew…”

Kim Hyun-woo let out a light sigh and glanced at the blue moonlight beyond the terrace.

‘…How did this happen?’

A question that came to his mind without him knowing.

In fact, Kim Hyun-woo already had a general idea of how this had happened.

He had already heard the gist of it from Shadrah.

‘This is difficult.’

Even though he had a grasp of the situation, Kim Hyun-woo had no idea how to end it, so he made a pained expression and thought for a moment before speaking to Giral and Loriel, who were bowing their heads like criminals.

“…F-first of all, congratulations…”

“T-thank you.”

“…”

Kim Hyun-woo felt that his choice of words was wrong as he watched the two of them blush even more, but he couldn’t help it.

Who in the world would wake up and intuitively know that their subordinates were diligently making love in their own bed?

“…First of all, I think this happened because of an accident, so let’s just pretend it never happened.”

That’s why Kim Hyun-woo, who had been thinking about it, finally came up with that answer.

“I understand, my lord…”

“Thank you…”

“Oh, bring me my clothes tomorrow.”

“Yes…”

Giral and Loriel bowed their heads deeply as they spoke, and then they quietly opened the door to the lord’s room and disappeared, wearing Kim Hyun-woo’s clothes.

…Kim Hyun-woo shoved a new fact that he didn’t really want to know into his head: that Loriel and Giral’s love was surprisingly intense, and then he looked at River and Shadrah.

Kim Hyun-woo watched the two of them let out a deep sigh as if they had finally come to life after Giral and Loriel left, and then he spoke.

“So, what were you two doing…”

“Ah, that’s…hehehe.”

Shadrah looked away, just like River, who was smiling awkwardly and looking at the distant mountains.

However, when Kim Hyun-woo stared at them for a long time, Shadrah seemed to realize that it was impossible to get past this situation with a flimsy smile, so he made a short sound, “Uh,” and began to think.

He wondered if it was right to tell the truth in this situation.

In fact, River and Shadrah had always wanted to show their sincerity to Kim Hyun-woo, but they knew that confessing in a situation like this, where there was no atmosphere or anything, would not be good.

‘How should I answer?’

Just as Shadrah’s head began to get complicated, thinking hard about it.

River, who had been looking at the distant mountains without saying a word until now, looked at Kim Hyun-woo and spoke.

“…We came for the reason that my lord thinks.”

“The reason I think…?”

“D-do you really want me to say it?”

River spoke with trembling pupils.

Kim Hyun-woo scratched his head with a puzzled expression.

‘Of course, I had a guess.’

Even so, the reason Kim Hyun-woo asked was because River and Shadrah had not come as individuals, but together.

‘And those two…they didn’t seem to be that close.’

Kim Hyun-woo said, thinking that.

“No…I’ve been guessing a little because this kind of situation has been happening a lot lately…but this time, it’s probably because there are two of you.”

Of course, there had been situations where two women had come before, but as far as Kim Hyun-woo knew, those situations had only happened by accident.

But what about now?

No matter who looked at it, Shadrah and River seemed to have come with everything in mind from the very beginning, rather than having had some kind of situational accident.

“No, we came together.”

Kim Hyun-woo said that.

“I-isn’t it better with two?”

“What’s the basis for that…?”

“Huh?”At Kim Hyun-woo’s words, River’s face turned blank as if he was in a state of confusion.

Right after.

With an expression that said, “This isn’t it?” River fell into confusion and looked back and forth between Kim Hyun-woo and the floor several times, thinking about why one was better than the other.

“T-the fun of choosing?”

“…”

He soon came to that conclusion.

“Uh…”

Shadra, who had suddenly been treated like an ice cream to be chosen, let out a soft sigh, but River’s eyes slowly started to roll around as if his brain was freezing in this situation.

Just as Kim Hyun-woo was about to make a bewildered expression at River’s appearance.

Thud-!

Shadra jumped into Kim Hyun-woo’s arms.

“Gasp-!”

Kim Hyun-woo, who couldn’t handle her weight for a moment and fell onto the bed, looked at Shadra with a bewildered expression, but she looked at him with eyes full of determination, as if she was on the edge of a cliff.

“Daddy…!”

“Sh-Shadra!”

“I came here today because I wanted to be with Daddy.”

“No-“

I had a rough idea of what was going to happen, so I was somewhat prepared, but I think it’s better to stop using the word “Daddy” in this situation, Kim Hyun-woo suggested.

Unfortunately, his tongue couldn’t utter any more words after the word “No-“.

Instead, Kim Hyun-woo had to entertain a sharp tongue and a timid tongue for several hours…

####

The march of the black things continued in the northeast.

Arthur, who was leading the way, suddenly swung the sword that was only half left.

The sword swung so fast that it was almost invisible.

The sword, which was so fast that one could only tell it had swung by the fact that its position had changed from top to bottom, cut something in an instant.

“You don’t have to be so wary, I’m on your team, after all?”

At some point, Loria appeared next to Lancelot and opened her mouth.

“!”

Seeing this, Arthur immediately tried to swing his sword again.

[Great King, this one is not our enemy.]

At Lancelot’s words, Arthur stopped the sword he was about to swing and said.

[Who is this one?]

[This one is currently helping us.]

“It’s not just helping, it’s a great help… Well, I don’t feel so bad thinking that much, anyway, I was expecting it.”

As Loria said so and smiled, Lancelot asked.

[Why are you here?]

“There’s no particular reason, but if I had to make one up, I’d say I came to see how things were going since we’ll be reaching Lartania tomorrow…”

Loria said, looking at Arthur, who was staring at her with an emotionless gaze.

“You don’t have to worry. The resurrection seems to have been successful. You can believe it.”

[It’s not a matter of believing or not believing. The moment the King awakens, that goal will be achieved unconditionally.]

“Of course it will. I’ve worked hard behind the scenes, too? Rather, it would be difficult if it didn’t happen. I’d have no choice but to step in then-“

[…] Don’t worry, you won’t have to step in.]

Loria said nothing to Lancelot’s words.

She just smiled as if she knew something, and then nodded as if she understood, turned around, and said.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

With those words, she disappeared completely.

Lancelot, who had been silently watching Loria disappear, leaving only her words behind.

[Lancelot.]

[Yes.]

[…] Did you receive power from that one?]

[Yes. She called me to the middle world.]

Nodding in response to Arthur’s question, Arthur, who had been silently staring at the spot where Loria had disappeared for a while, said.

[It seems that our next opponent will be that one.]

[…? What is that?]

[Lancelot, you know that one is wearing a shell, don’t you?]

At Arthur’s words, Lancelot nodded, for she had already figured out that she was wearing a shell.[But what do you mean by saying that she will be the next opponent?]

However, since Lancelot did not think that she would be the next opponent, he asked the king.

Arthur began to calmly tell Lancelot, who had a bewildered expression, about her identity.

And.

[…!! Is that, really true?]

[Yes. If my eyes are not mistaken.]

Arthur, who was looking at the surprised Lancelot, soon turned his body.

[We have one more reason to deal with the outsider.]

With those words, he began to walk towards Lartania.

Lancelot, who was standing there for a moment, recalling what Arthur had said, soon followed Arthur, who had started to walk, and opened his mouth.

[It will definitely be like that.]
