The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

66 – A Brief Respite (9)

“Can’t you hear me? Put down the knife.”

“I’m sorry. I’m too late.”

Erina did not stop at my words.

She thrust her sword, revealing even more hostility.

Kyla didn’t sit still either. She drew her magic circle on both palms.

Erina held her sword firmly as well.

They did not take their eyes off each other while facing each other.

An imminent situation.

The moment someone moves even the slightest, a collision will occur.

Neither of them seemed to show any signs of backing down.

She had no choice but to leave the river.

I stopped in front of Erina. Then her face contorted.

“Please step out of the way.”

“No.”

“Why… Are you covering that b*tch?! I didn’t do anything wrong! Rather, if it is wrong… ?!”

I couldn’t listen anymore.

Before Erina could move, she grabbed the blade of the longsword with her bare hand.

The lightning that burned from the longsword faded in an instant.

But the blade was still sharp.

A slight tremor ran through the blade.

Cracks appeared in his sharp eyes, and embarrassment was transmitted.

“W-what are you doing…?! Let go quickly!”

“If you don’t move, you won’t get hurt.”

If Erina moves her sword, my finger will be cut in half.

Kyla, too, stunned, tried to approach me.

“My lord…!”

“Kayla. Neither do you. Erase the magic circle.”

As soon as I finished my words, the magic circle in the air disappeared without a trace.

But I didn’t let go.

Erina was looking at me with an expression almost crying.

I don’t know about other things, but I could never tolerate being hurt.

It was a risky gamble for me, but the effect was certain.

“I’ll retract the sword…! So please get rid of it quickly!”

Fortunately, I didn’t lie.

As soon as I removed my hand from the blade, I immediately led the longsword into the scabbard.

But the sharp atmosphere continued.

There was tension in the awkward silence.

Neither Kyla nor Erina could raise their heads.

After a typhoon passed, all that remained was silence.

Everyone had a lot to say.

However, he kept his mouth shut.

I was the only one who could sort this situation out.

“Let’s go back to the inn first.”

Even in a deserted alleyway, a commotion could lead to a crowd of guards.

Fortunately, the two of them acted quickly.

As if nothing had happened, they followed me at a fast pace.

“Kayla, wait outside for a moment.”

First, we decided to keep the two apart.

Now that you’ve talked to Kayla, it’s time to listen to Erina’s story.

With a gloomy expression, he was full of melancholy.

Tears flickered dangerously in his eyes.

She shook her head as if she was about to burst into tears.

Who can understand her if not her me.

“Erina.”

“…Yes.”

“Do you hate me being alone with Kayla?”

Kayla and Erina. Both of them are the companions I need.

The problem is that Erina is too hostile towards others.

She raised her thorns menacingly as she approached like a hedgehog.

Even Kayla began to change in response to that.

At first, she approached Erina kindly, but as the confrontation continued, she became hostile.

“Yes. I hate it so much. I really hate it. I hate it enough to want to kill it right away…!”

She used to pay attention to the people around her or obey what I said.

But at some point, Erina started to act unintentionally.

Wouldn’t it be the starting point that Kayla joined as her colleague?

Now he was angry, screaming and swarming.

When we first met, her mature appearance disappeared like a lie.

“I don’t like it. I really hate it. I’m enough for you…”

Erina came to my side and hugged her chest.

This is the usual behavior.

However, unlike before, his expression was not bright.

Still, it didn’t fall away from me.

She pushed her hair as if to be stroked.

Suddenly, the words of the goddess passed through her head.

‘I’m a human who will have to pretend someday.’

I carefully placed my hand on Erina’s head.

Her soft hair ran through her fingers.

She accompanied him, and a sweet scent spread throughout the room.

Her body trembled as she breathed faster.

Her body tilted, as if her displeasure had eased up a bit.

“Am I asking too much of you?”

“I will do anything you command. But not that woman.”

“Then what if it wasn’t Kayla…?”

“…What does it mean?”

As expected, a dramatic response came back.

Erina, she probably wouldn’t have thought of another colleague coming in.

But I had a different idea.

A new colleague will join in the near future.

“Am I not enough?”

Her hand on her shoulder was strong.

I dug into her skin with her sharp fingernails.

“That’s not a problem.”

“Are you sure you don’t trust me…?”

“No. I trust you.”

Once again, the emotional attitude came out.

Likewise, she is a figure I could not have imagined when I first met Erina.

“I’m thinking of getting two more party members in the future.”

“I don’t like it.”

“If a healer and an archer come in one by one, the party will be stronger.”

“I don’t need it.”

Still, Erina has not separated from me. She didn’t move at all.

Rather, she shifted her seat and landed on my lap.

She was cradled in her arms in a half-cuddle position. She wrapped her arms around my neck as it was.

Her body clung under her shoulders and she felt the pressure in her chest.

Contrary to her sensual posture, her aura has sunk to the bottom.

“Why do you keep looking at other people?”

“Because I decided to kill the demon king.”

A goal that Erina and I hope for.

We couldn’t separate until we killed the demon king.

I had to borrow her power to save her goddess.

And I had to keep an eye on her to make sure she didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.

Then unexpected words came out of Erina’s mouth.

“If you don’t kill the Demon King… ?”

“What?”

“Can’t we just quit everything and go far away?”

I felt like I had been hit in the back of the head.

Unexpected words came out of her mouth.

To think you’d give up the Demon King now.

Everything I’ve done so far is a wasted decision.

Of course, Erina knew too.

He asked me back with an infinitely serious expression.

“Shall we save money and live a quiet life like this? Or farming or building in a small village is okay.”

“That… “

“Don’t worry. I can earn money.”

I’m not saying this to make you think of me.

The moment I nodded, Erina was really prepared to drop everything.

But I couldn’t.

“I have no intention of giving up.”

I had to kill the demon king and reach the ending.

I didn’t want to live like this forever in the game.

I couldn’t turn my efforts so far into vain.

A smile came back to Erina as if she felt relieved at the answer without the slightest hesitation.

It seems that her heart was tight even while asking.

I couldn’t have ended the journey like this.

There was too much work for that.

And you made a promise to Kayla.

He drew her in by saying that he would kill her demon lord and help her avenge her.

I couldn’t change her words now.

“If I don’t kill the Demon King, the country might perish.”

“That’s true too. It’s dangerous if the demon king conquers the world.”

If we stay still like this, the demon king will swallow the capital and the world will become the den of demons.

I couldn’t see as much as reaching the end of countless bad endings.

“I’m begging you. Please be friendly with other people. No, even if you can’t be friendly, don’t fight.”

“But today I really couldn’t stand it. She tried to frame me…”

The tightrope walk continues. Neither I nor Erina had any intention of conceding.

And Kayla also had a cause.

I didn’t expect her to react so emotionally.

I couldn’t speak, but I was embarrassed too.

I thought that the relationship would become dull as time passed, but it was my mistake.

If this continues, the conflict between the two will only deepen.

Even so, I couldn’t kick out a single person.

“Then let’s do this.”

We decided to compromise rather than push our opinions.

I have decided to stop arbitrarily incorporating myself as a colleague, as was the case with Kayla.

Erina swore that she would never lay her hand on her comrades.

And it was decided that the number of colleagues to join in the future would be determined by a majority.

“Are you okay?”

“…I see.”

At this rate, as long as Kayla is persuaded, it will be easy to join other colleagues.

I’m sure Erina would know, unless she’s an idiot.

However, he meekly accepted my offer.

Are you thinking about something?

Still, there was progress in the conversation, so I decided to be satisfied with this much.

It was unclear whether the request could be kept.

Still, I was able to relax because I prepared a makeshift solution.

“You know if I don’t keep my promise, right?”

“…Yes, I know.”

Released from the party.

This is the situation Erina fears the most.

Also, it’s the only weakness I can catch against Erina.

“I won’t ask you to get along with Kayla.”

I concluded that it was impossible for the two to become close.

It was fatal to not wanting to cooperate with colleagues, but it was inevitable.

“Please don’t fight each other.”

“Okay.”

Her conversation ended with her well-told.

But the work is not done yet.

“Kayla. Come in if you’re listening.”
