Chapter 55: No common sense

'Damn it.'

I felt goosebumps at the woman looking at me with an expressionless face.

Karen Cross.

She is the master of the next Mage Tower and a genius mage born by the Empire.

It was also true that she was of great help in defeating her demon lord, unlike her saintess Marian, who was only a warrior with her pattern.

The problem was that she was so rigid that I could barely read her emotions, despite her long time with her, and she was zealous about collecting my strangely dismembered body during her company.

It was only before that I was horrified to see Karen putting my severed finger into her bosom, but now I could understand what she was doing.

'The emperor must have said that he would support research funds.'

Of course, Karen wasn't the type to follow the emperor's orders faithfully.

However, the only emotion she expressed was her curiosity about her, and perhaps her curiosity about my [immortality] ability was the reason she joined hands with the emperor.

"Hero, right? Why is there no answer?"

As I put off answering with a nervous expression, Karen tilted her head slightly and said that to me.

It's an atmosphere where you won't believe it, even if you say no anyway.

I immediately turned around and started to run away, and I felt a chill rush right behind me.

'You crazy bitch!'

I quickly turned around and saw a cold blade brush past me.

It seems like simple magic, but it is a mixture of wind-type magic and ice-type magic. As far as I know, Karen was the only one on the continent who could use magic that way.

"Oh, that's too bad. I could have cut it."

I got goosebumps again at Karen's muttering in a machine-like voice.

The reason I found her difficult to deal with was that her magic did not work with her common sense, despite her genius.

'Could this be because of the Year of the Goddess of Balance?'

One was so good that the other was so far behind; that was a woman named Karen.

Karen began to gather her mana again, as if ignoring the common sense that she shouldn't use her magic near her palace.

Looking at Karen like that, I thought about running away from her, but it was close to impossible to get her away from her anyway.

"Oh, motherfucker. Okay, let's try it!"

"Yes? Is that bitch talking to me, by any chance?"

Karen asked, tilting her head as I spat out a swear word.

"Then, fuck, is there another bitch here besides you?"

"You're a low-level man, swearing at the first meeting."

"You crazy boy! Is that what the bitch who casts magic on someone else's body for the first time will say?"

"I heard that too, and I see."

As she screamed at her anger, Karen clapped her lightly, with a look of realization on her part.

I saw that she showed no intention of attacking, so she relaxed for a moment and looked at Karen.

"Nice to meet you, warrior. I am Karen Cross of the Magic Tower."

"… Okay. I'm not very welcome, but I'm the hero Allen anyway."

"So, as a commemoration of our meeting, would you like to give me one of your arms? Needed for experimentation, please."

I frowned as I watched Karen casually ask for my arm.

I wanted to, but anyway.

Karen was a properly crazy bitch, and she wasn't the type to talk to.

"What? A unicorn behind you?"

"A unicorn? That horn is a material I've wanted to have for a long time."

At my words, Karen muttered and looked behind her, and at the same time, I threw her body at Karen.

I quickly approached Karen and shoved my fist into her stomach without looking at her, and Karen, who was experiencing pain for the first time in her life, opened her eyes wide and looked at my face.

"You lied…"

"Of course not, you disgusting bitch!"

I laid her unconscious, Karen, on the floor and scratched her head.

She was still in her inexperience, so even if she went on like this this time, it was clear that she would be a nuisance since Karen showed up.

Of course, if it's bothersome, if I cut off one of her fingers, she'll be quiet about researching for a while, but I didn't want to give her a part of my body, even if it was unfair.

I left her unconscious Karen on her floor, scratching her head.

It wouldn't be bothersome if I just killed her, but it was also true that she was of great help in dealing with her.

"Emperor, you son of a bitch! Let's see!"

I screamed at the wall of the imperial palace and left.

I couldn't stop Karen from coming back to me anyway, but it was true that she wanted to stay away from me for a little while.

"I'm here?"

When I returned to the house near the church, Lina greeted me with a smile.

When I met Karen, her head was complicated, and Lina's smile seemed to make me feel a little better.

But that's for a while.

Lina's smiling face started to feel a little strange.

The mouth of hers is clearly smiling, but the eyes of hers don't seem to be smiling at all, and I'm starting to get goose bumps again.

"What happened?"

I asked Lina, and instead of her answering, Lina handed me a luxurious envelope.

The letter said, "Dear warrior," And the sender was, of course, Genoa.

'Could it be because of this?'

It seemed that Lina's upset was because of the letter from Genoa, but it was hard for me to understand why she was upset.

No matter how close she and I were, it was because I couldn't understand why she was angry over just one letter from her.

"Have you read the letter?"

I naturally began to doubt whether Lina had read Genoa's letter of hers.

If it was a letter written by Genoa, it wouldn't make sense for Lina to feel bad about her.

But at my question, Lina shook her head and continued that strange smile.

"No, what am I supposed to read in the hero's letter?"

"… What? Then why are you in such a bad mood?"

"Would you like to just look over there?"

At Lina's words, I looked at the place she was pointing at.

And dozens of envelopes were neatly stacked there.

'Crazy…'

"What the hell is your relationship with this Genoa?"

I just swallowed my saliva with a nervous expression at Lina's words.

Then, I saw Lina put on a smile.

"It's a joke, a joke. Still, if this happens too often, I might get hurt a little bit."

Lina quickly said that with a nonchalant expression, but it was actually hard for me to take her words literally.

It was because no matter how much Lina thought her hero was great, and even if she thought lowly of herself, she couldn't help but accept that I had another woman.

But even so, I couldn't promise not to meet other women, so I said this to Lina.

"Sorry, and thank you."

"So, feel free to read. I have work to do."

At my words, Lina smiled with a slightly sad expression and went up the stairs to the second floor.

Perhaps he was trying to give me time to read the letter comfortably.

After confirming that Lina was completely out of sight, I started opening Genoa's letter to her.

Since she left the ecliptic, quite a bit of time had already passed, so she wondered if anything else had happened.

-Dear warrior.

Hero: I, Genoa, am protecting her territory today, thinking of the hero.

The citizens of Yeongji are delighted with the appearance of the warrior, and they are living their day hard today.

In fact, today I stopped by the stable, looked at the horses, and recalled memories with the warrior.

I miss those days unbearably, but remembering the last words of the hero, Genoa is fulfilling its mission.

'Mi… You hit it.'

Looking at Genoa's letter, I wrinkled her impression of her.

It was fortunate that Lina didn't open it, but if she did, she probably wouldn't have gotten over it as well as she does now.

But that letter was just the beginning, and the shocking content was still there for a long time.

Hero, today I made my own harness. I made a whip and gag with high-quality leather, and I'm waiting for the day when the warrior will use it.

Hero, this is Genoa again. Feeling a bit disappointed with only the whip and gag, I tried making a stirrup.

That was, of course, Lina, and she was not supposed to read anyone else.

Even I, her party, read Genoa's letter, and my head became dizzy.

I gathered all the letters, put them on the stove on one side of the house, and set them on fire.

Perhaps because it was a luxurious piece of paper, it could be seen burning well in the fire.

And just as all the letters from Genoa were burned, I opened the door and saw Karen come in.

"Hero, you were here."
