I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

120 – Victory Conditions (3)

Victory Conditions (3)

A cracked scene in the world that was deeply engraved in Esmeralda’s mind.

The image that Shiva left behind constantly tormented Esmeralda.

However, it is impossible to understand the reason just by seeing it once.

Even Shiva, the person involved, does not know why he did what he did.

That is, it was done only sensually.

Whoosh!

Esmeralda swung her sword first. She was beginning a training exercise that she had repeated dozens, hundreds of times already.

The fully regenerated holy sword hangs, emitting a faint metallic light.

After repeating this several times, Esmeralda grabbed the sword with both hands.

Phew!

This time, surround it with black ink.

Her mana, resonating with the Holy Sword, scatters a brilliant golden light.

The level she has reached now.

A state where she pours out all the mana she can handle and covers the sword.

‘This wasn’t enough.’

This was the state she was in when she met Second. Yes, she was also maintaining the best state she could.

Even in that situation, the holy sword he was holding was torn to pieces.

So training was needed.

Because it wasn’t something that could be done through improvisation or collaboration.

The individual’s capacity is too low.

He was too arrogant to believe that he had succeeded in driving away Legion Commander Twelve.

Just because they kicked out Legion Commander Five, they thought they could do the same to others.

He looked down on the commanders of the legions except for the Demon King, saying that he had overwhelmed the Third.

This is the price. Esmeralda survived in a situation where it would not have been strange if she had died.

Her colleague helped her and was bedridden in return.

‘I’ll never see that sight again.’

A landscape recorded in Esmeralda’s imagination. A blow that transcends the world shown by Shiva.

But Esmeralda knows.

Trying to covet it now is like trying to learn how to fly when you can’t even walk.

But it did make sense.

‘Why must the world be destroyed? Why are they considered different even though they are in the same world?’

Esmeralda focuses on swordsmanship, but she also has a knack for magic. Wasn’t it her who had hidden several means to prepare for her colleagues who might burst out in any direction?

‘Magic is the phenomenon of interfering with the world using mana.’

The ability to interfere with a specific point, specific direction, specific speed, or specific phenomenon.

Magic is about changing some of the rules of the world itself, even if only for a little while.

And Esmeralda knows a little bit about the reason.

‘This will work.’

Esmeralda swings her holy sword clad in black aura a few times before calmly stopping and concentrating.

As if using magic.

Interfere with the Holy Sword by systematically moving the mana rippling around it.

The mana that was swaying like a flame gradually seeped into the holy sword, and it began to glow softly as if the mana was flowing from the holy sword itself.

A state where it flows from within, rather than just covering the outside.

“Healthy.”

Esmeralda learned to walk.

Ready to fly.

She still has a long way to go to reach her goal.

It was too early to be satisfied, so she began to slowly check her newfound achievements without getting excited.

She just brushed it off as if it was nothing… … .

“A warrior… … A monster is a monster. You made the sword so easily and you still don’t feel anything?”

It was a shocking sight for Shiva, who was watching from afar.

Talent aside, isn’t his mindset different from others?

of course…….

‘Wow, I was awesome.’

Esmeralda was also secretly proud of herself.

***

Esmeralda, who had achieved her goal, went straight to check on Tina.

The original goal of this journey was to cure Tina. Her training was merely a secondary goal.

First of all, I had to check Tina’s condition.

Esmeralda, who had found the hospital room where Tina had been admitted, could see an empty bed and Rafa sitting by the window, looking into the distance.

“… … Tina?”

“He left. He said there was no use raising a daughter, and he went to see a man without even asking about my well-being.”

“Then goodbye.”

She didn’t care about La Pa’s miserable appearance. What was important to Esmeralda was that her friend who had fallen had finally gotten up. Since she was able to survive thanks to her, Esmeralda wanted to express her gratitude once again.

After asking around and finding out where Jim and his colleagues were.

Esmeralda could see

“Then, get married again… … .”

“But, Tana has already lost her virginity mentally. And I do not marry a virgin who has lost her virginity.”

“Now, wait a minute… … My virginity was taken away by you… … ?”

“There are no exceptions to the rule.”

“uh……?”

Even Irina and Milia, who acted as if they would accept anything, looked shocked.

Yeah, first of all, Tina’s appearance is different than usual.

Let’s put aside the situation where Jim took Tina’s virginity for now…

Even if Jim puts off saying that crappy thing about not taking responsibility for Tina for a moment.

“Oh, no! Honey! Please don’t leave me!”

Esmeralda felt dizzy and collapsed at the sight of Tina clinging to such trash.

“Ugh… … .”

It was at this moment that she completely broke down mentally.

***

Esmeralda, who had just returned from smiling at Tina, fell over, clutching her head at the remark that shocked even Irina and Milia, who were well-informed.

“Okay, everyone calm down.”

And the person who created such a disaster was surprisingly calm.

The reason was simple. He meant what he said well.

“Tana, how could I abandon you who loves me?”

“Then, marriage… … .”

“But we’ve already parted ways once. And so much time has passed, and things have changed.”

“Tana doesn’t know that! Just marry me!”

Jim hugged Tana, who was clinging to him, and patted her.

It’s true that my heart hasn’t left.

“Let’s start over. I’ve changed so much, and you don’t know me.”

The load has changed.

Even just being caught up in and tossed around by the seven emotions at the moment is like that.

But Jim didn’t think he had to shake it off or get away from it. It was his own identity, and it was up to him to decide how to lead it.

“Let’s start again.”

“… …Again?”

“Yes, again.”

Tana is tied to her past self. As long as her heart is tied to the past, there is no guarantee that her future relationships will turn out well.

She liked him in the past, but he is now so far removed from his past self after living for so many years.

So again.

“Let us renew our minds.”

Let’s leave Tana’s mind in the past.

And let’s build new relationships.

Only then will you be able to be happy even after getting married.

Her past self let them go so easily.

And those in the past didn’t carry that burden either.

Now I want to change. No, I have to change.

“Let’s build new relationships with a new heart. It’s not too late to confirm who I am now and start a relationship.”

“… … .”

Tana was convinced.

No matter how much he changed, she would still love him.

But I could understand what he was saying. It had been so long. It wouldn’t have been strange if Jim had forgotten about me.

So, it is right for the two to start building their relationship again from the beginning.

“What is that?”

Tana burst into laughter when she realized what Jim meant.

I thought he was some crazy unicorn baby, but he wasn’t.

“So even if I’m not a virgin, if I love you, will you marry me?”

Tana wanted to release her overflowing emotions in that direction.

Yes, I want to make love to you. You are the person I longed for until I died. I want to hug you, kiss you, and make love to you right now.

“That’s not it.”

“… … No, that’s not it?”

But Jim was adamant.

Tana, who was about to hug Jim, stopped for a moment at that determined look.

“The mind can be renewed, but the body cannot be renewed.”

“Then, if I fall in love with you, will I not be able to get married?”

“The first night is a meaningful event and ritual. So shouldn’t the wedding come first?”

“Phew… … .”

Tana pouted her lips in disappointment. Then, there’s not much she can do until she gets married.

The area she is most confident in.

Tana felt regretful that she couldn’t utilize it.

But Tana understood.

“Well, it wouldn’t be fun if it started like that from the beginning. It would be more thrilling if you slowly increase the stimulation so that you can enjoy it for a long time.”

After all, she was also an incarnation born from the seven emotions of lust.

So, build a relationship slowly, step by step.

“Then let’s start anew from now on.”

Tana lifted her turban and gave Jim a light kiss.
