I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

105 – Faith and Love (6)

Faith and Love (6)

I wanted to be treated specially.

That’s why I decided to carve an unforgettable moment for Jim.

A kiss for that.

… … but things didn’t go as Irina had wanted.

‘Oh, I think I’m crazy… …!’

I thought it was a pretty romantic atmosphere until we kissed.

But what was supposed to be a gentle first kiss turned into a mess the moment Jim’s tongue entered.

Is it Jim’s fault?

Of course, it is not normal for a guy to suddenly stick his tongue in the mouth of someone he is kissing for the first time.

‘T, if it’s going to be like this, then I too… … .’

However, Irina could not deny that her current appearance gave her such leeway.

I was in such a hurry to take a bath that I didn’t even shake the water off my body or clothes.

The thin clothes that clung to her body were clearly revealing her inner flesh.

A literally provocative look.

At this point, it wouldn’t be strange if the other person mistook it for ‘that’.

‘That, and… … .’

Irina tapped her lips with her index finger and recalled the feeling at that time.

The feeling of a first kiss.

A feeling I had never thought of or expected.

Irina’s index finger taps her lips, then moves slowly as if checking the shape of her lips.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

The feeling of the index finger sliding along my lips makes my heart beat louder.

“… … .”

Then, the index finger stops for a moment, then slowly moves inside the open lips and gently taps the tip of the tongue.

“Ah… … ugh, ugh… … .”

Irina, who was shaking as if she had been electrocuted, soon lay down on the floor and writhed like a puppy that had been drenched in rain, as if in pain.

A body that trembles and a head that shakes like crazy.

A heart that feels like it’s going to burst.

Yeah, I remembered.

Why is she suffering so much here now?

“I, I… … .”

Yeah, she didn’t immediately push Jim away when he made a fuss.

“What the hell have I done… … ?!”

Rather, I ended up responding.

Rather than being disgusted by Jim’s behavior, he tried to do the same thing.

Although she came to her senses the moment their tongues met, Irina couldn’t believe that she had done it.

“Then it wouldn’t be strange if I were called a prostitute instead of a saint!”

Self-loathing.

That was the biggest reason why Irina ran away.

Although Jim’s sudden outburst was surprising, it was his own unexpected side that was even more shocking.

An innocent and pure saint.

It was a mask to deceive the world, but it was hard to see it as completely wrong. Irina was really pure in that regard.

But when I thought about myself having this side to me, nothing could be more miserable.

“Ugh… … .”

Irina lay on the floor like that for a while, writhing.

Yes, until the moment when everything is over and Esmeralda comes looking for him.

***

Tina was watching Esmeralda’s fight while protecting Milia.

You have to prepare for just one eventuality.

If Esmeralda is pushed, she will have to help in some way.

Protect Milia while keeping watch over the surroundings and even supporting Esmeralda.

It’s easier said than done.

Fortunately, however, Esmeralda was not pushed around too much.

The appearance of only capturing the truth even in the midst of numerous illusions.

‘That’s cool… … .’

Tina was able to remember for the first time in a while that Esmeralda was a warrior.

Seeing her confidently shaking off all kinds of illusions made me realize once again how amazing Esmeralda is.

‘Wow, this is really amazing.’

But Tina didn’t know.

The Third’s ability is the ability to make illusions real if the opponent perceives them to be real.

In that sense, it meant that Tina could also distinguish Third’s illusions one by one.

If she had judged it to be real from her perspective, then all the illusions that hit Esmeralda would have been real.

Because Tina could distinguish all illusions solely by her senses, Third couldn’t even look at the other person.

It was hard to believe that there would be another person like Esmeralda who could discern all illusions.

That’s why it’s much easier for Tina to protect Millia.

It also meant that it was possible to turn one’s thoughts in the other direction.

‘Esmeralda is pushing. And if you think about Esmeralda’s usual power… … .’

Sooner or later, the odds will completely tilt towards Esmeralda.

Because she grows while fighting.

Looking at the fact that they are fighting evenly now, it means that they will be able to overwhelm us in just a little while longer.

‘But, what?’

It’s almost a sure thing that Esmeralda will win Third.

It looks like the opponent doesn’t have any hidden abilities, so if they continue to solidify their position, Esmeralda will win.

‘Why am I so anxious?’

But I’m anxious.

Tina’s senses are ringing the alarm.

Esmeralda is clearly superior. Moreover, there is nothing particularly unpleasant about the Third she is dealing with.

It’s a bit strange that he didn’t show much performance compared to his first appearance, but his opponent no longer had the power to be on guard.

“then…….”

When I thought about it that far.

Tina arrived at the answer with a feeling of anxiety that made her feel crazy.

“There are external factors!”

The moment Tina realized that.

The tide was clearly turning in Esmeralda’s favor.

And from that moment on.

“Ugh… … ?!”

Tina began to sway with anxiety, feeling like she was going to vomit.

***

Support support support!

Esmeralda’s holy sword brushes the hem of Third’s clothes.

It feels more like I accidentally got caught rather than getting hit.

But, that alone changed the atmosphere between the two.

It had to change.

As for Third, who was able to shake off Esmeralda with his quick movements, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Isn’t that obvious?

It was an opponent much weaker than him. It was surprising that his ability didn’t work, but he was still able to shake it off.

The purpose of this third is simply an outing. The situation that was supposed to be a joke during the process has now changed.

Yes, now Third had to acknowledge Esmeralda as a clear enemy.

“you……!”

I’m serious about it.

With that thought, Third created a clone using illusion.

An illusion that could deceive even the most first-rate people.

It is easy to make others believe that your clone is the truth, as you have to find the real one among countless selves.

Third usually uses a tactic of creating a clone and hiding behind it, using only the clone to pressure the opponent.

Because people believe that there is a main body within these many clones.

Otherwise, I don’t think there would be any reason to draw attention to the clone.

but…….

“Hyak?! Huh, how?!”

For Esmeralda, who could see through the other person’s superficial psychology, nothing changed.

Even Third’s own surefire method doesn’t work on her.

Third, who had been looking down on Esmeralda, stopped looking down on her from the moment the attack landed.

That’s why he went from a pleasure-oriented fight to a full-scale battle where he created his own clone.

Even she, the most hedonistic of people, couldn’t help but feel fear in these circumstances.

Even though it is a clone, it captures the hidden main body without even looking at it, even though there are many enemies in front of it that may have the main body mixed in.

Is that possible?

Isn’t this a lack of common sense?

No, before that… … .

“Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh… … .”

Aside from that, the person named Esmeralda herself was so scary.

The sight of the warrior smiling while his body was pierced by countless clones was no different from that of a madman.

A vision that sees through everything.

That capable mind that even surpasses the psychology of the opponent.

And a crazy personality.

Fake madness that can only tremble in the face of true madness.

Third had never seen an opponent who could think better than he did.

Of course, it was her imagination, but who knew that the warrior’s most special ability might be the ability to see through the opponent’s psychology and abilities?

In that sense, this situation was a moment where Esmeralda’s efforts shone.

Because she has been trying to hide this ability until now.

‘Yeah, that’s it… … .’

That’s why I felt good.

Up until now, hiding your abilities has been meaningless because your opponents have mostly used sensory techniques.

An attack that is swung as if it were natural after practicing for a long time.

Esmeralda had thought more than once that her abilities were of no use in such fights as most of the Demons.

That’s why I felt good.

‘I have finally overcome countless trials and reached my prime!’

Look, heavens!

Esmeralda was proud of herself for having overcome all these trials.

My heart raced at the thought of being able to catch a big shot like Legion Commander Third.

“Esmeralda!”

Esmeralda, who was swinging her sword at Third, suddenly felt a sense of resistance and her body was thrown backwards.

“Tina?”

Tina, who was supposed to be guarding Milia, was pulling Esmeralda’s neck.

And at that very moment.

Phew!

With a heavy gust of wind, the holy sword Esmeralda was holding shattered into pieces and fell to the floor with a thud.

Suddenly, a man who looked like a bad-tempered thug appeared before her eyes.

Esmeralda immediately confirmed the name of the person who had suddenly barged in.

[Name: Second]

[Race: Werewolf] [Title: Legion Commander, Fighter, Extreme]

.

.

.

[Comprehensive Estimate Lv. 2000]

“Ahh… … . I’m sorry. I won’t show off anymore, so please forgive me… … !”

Who was the apology directed at?

At least, it wasn’t directed at the man in front of her.

However, it was certain that Esmeralda was able to reflect on her brief past, when she had been arrogant and thought that the countless trials that stood in her way were nothing, and regain her humility.
