Knights are shouting Leona look this way please you are the best long live Leona the media persons are also saying Leona San as you are the top cadet to enter and graduate as validictorian from the royal academy night department how do you feel about becoming the first female soldier in the central branch of special forces Leona speaks first of all I want to thank everyone who came here today to support me she thought the central branch only recruits the most elite graduates from the academy. She became the first female swordsman in the central branch. The central branch is known for being extremely conservative. Hiring a female rookie is an extraordinary event in history that just proves that Leona's skill is splendid and undeniable. Leona continued, "As the first female soldier in the central branch of the special forces, I will not bring shame to my work." The other persons are dancing and saying, "It is Rean, the man, the magical genius." Rean came and said, "Move aside." Leona thought, "Damn it. Of all people, he had to be in the central branch, too. We are required to serve three years. So, I'll have to see this guy's face for three more years." Knights shouted, "Get lost." "Regan, don't bully Leona. She would take you down in one hit." The other knights also shouted, "Who blocked the path, you brainless swordsman." Rean could wipe out this place with a single swing. The media person asked, "Could I get a photo of you two shaking hands?" Regan tried to say, "Why' I have to do something so stupid?" Leona hit him and said, "Of course, no problem at all." She thought, "In times like this, it is best to let them take the photo quietly. Okay, here we go." Suddenly, both of them thought, "What is this?" Leona thought. This tingling sensation in my hand. No way. Did he feel that, too? Next scene, the commander welcomed them to the central branch. A handsome man and a beautiful woman side by side. What a splendid picture. I heard you two were always together at the royal academy, too. Rean replied. That is new to me, Leona also said. And totally wrong, for sure. The commander continued. Even so, you were classmates in my days. There were a lot of beauties in the northern branch. I feel really bad about asking this on your first day, but you two will be paired up from now on. The temple itself has officially assigned you two to a long-term investigation. It is our first time cooperating with the temple as well, so we are counting on you. The honor of the special forces rests on your shoulders," Leona thought. The temple directly assigned it. Why would they go out of their way to choose rookies who just joined today? The commander continued, "If you successfully complete the mission, his majesty has decreed that your mandatory service period will be shortened to one year." Leona thought. Cutting two whole years off. That changes everything. Rean replied, "I refuse to partner with this person under any circumstances. Aren't new recruits usually paired with seniors in the central branch?" The commander told him, "That is true, but it is more of a tradition than a written rule." Regan said, "I personally value that tradition very highly and intend to follow it diligently." Leona asked, "Are you serious?" He said, "We can cut 2 years off our service." Rean also asked, "Are you serious? After clashing with me that much in the academy, you still want to be my partner as expected from the night department. So simple-minded." The commander stated, "The temple specifically requested to meet you two. Take this seal and go to the Holy Sea by the end of the day together. Good luck." Next scene. Leona thought he said he can't read while riding a horse. If we rode horses, we would be there in no time. That idiot. Still, it would be weird to split up on our first day as partners. What book is he even reading? Dimensional accessed dimensional transmission system. Rean seemed to hear it too. Then she said, "Hey, listen." Regan replied, "I am concentrating right now. Please be quiet." Suddenly, Leona thought, "The carriage just shook." At that moment, Rean thought, "I feel like I'm going to get motion sick. I smell a sweet scent." Leona asked, "What are you doing?" Rean replied, "Sorry, Leona would never use perfume," he thought. "And yet there's this sweet smell," Leona spoke. "You should have trained your body more. What a weakling." Regan replied, "I may be a mage, but I never skip physical training." Suddenly, they felt something. Leona said, "Detected and strike." Regan thought, "Detection cancels invisibility." Leona spoke. This must be a new species of magical creature. The discovery reward will be split. Regan replied, "You can have the reward money, but I will take the honor." Sulfian spoke. "Believe me, I really am the chief god, Sulfian." Leona thought, "This is a god. She doesn't have a shred of dignity, though." The god told them, "Going back in time, 500 years ago, during the era of war with the demon realm, I used up all my power to seal the demon king. My true body is currently sleeping to recover. This form is an avatar of me." Rean replied, "I see that explains it. In other words, this is the avatar of Lady Sulfian." The god told him, "That is a mouthful, so just call me an angel. Either way, I have lost my power and memory. So, I'm basically like an angel. I am carrying out the task remembered by my true body. The mission is to protect the hero who will save this world." Leona asked. And that mission has something to do with us. Could it be that I am the hero? I have admired heroes since I was a kid. It's me, right? The angel replied, "I'm sorry. It's not you." Leona shouted. "Then don't tell me." Rean, "Please, no. This guy wouldn't save the world. He might destroy it if he doesn't like it. He's a total dark schemer." Rean spoke. I wouldn't destroy the world just because I'm not fond of something. The angel told them, "It's not either of you. It's the child of you two, Leona and Rean. The child of you two will be the hero who saves this world." Both of them were shocked. The angel continued, "All this time I've been trying to get you two together. I worked so hard for 3 years. I'm such an idiot." Leona asked, "Wait, so all those times I randomly ran into him over the past 3 years? They weren't accidents like when I tripped for no reason at the entrance ceremony or when I got caught in his experiment and my hair caught on fire or when we fought during the cultural festival." Rean also spoke. Are you going to ignore all the inconvenient stuff because of you throwing water on me? I had to do the new student speech while soaking wet. Because of your ridiculous misunderstanding, I had a bruise on my face that wouldn't go away for 2 weeks. The angel spoke. I apologize. I was wrong. I said I was wrong. It's all my fault because I'm stupid. My true body is lamenting, too. An irredeemable fool. Overwhelmingly incompetent. Leona asked, "So, Angel, what do you want Rean and me to do?" The angel replied, "To have a child, who will become the hero?" Leona thought, "Of all people to have a child with that Rean, I don't even want to think about it. Besides, I am the knight who protects the kingdom. If I got pregnant, it would interfere with my duties. Still, protecting the world is more important. If I'm the only one who can give birth to the hero who will save the world, even if the method is unsatisfying, it doesn't matter. I will sacrifice myself for the world. Then she asked, "To save the world, should we just do it?" Regan stated, "Maybe the night department has no sense. In their heads or morals and would sleep with anyone, but I am different." Leona asked, "What? After all the trouble I went through to bring this up, I thought it would be hard for you to bring it up, so I did." Regan told her, "Consideration, what a shameless woman." The angel shouted, "No, a loveless physical relationship is not allowed. The child must be born from true love between the two of you. That is the only way to defeat the evil. Leona shouted. There is no way I could fall in love with him. Rean asked. So, what exactly is this evil that threatens to destroy the world? The angel replied, it is the demon king of the descent. I was designed to be born when the demon king's seal weakens. Considering that magical beasts have started appearing lately, it's clear the demon king is regaining power. Magical beasts act on instinct to kill and destroy. They cause chaos everywhere and amplify people's negative emotions. Rean spoke. So if we defeat those magical beasts, we can stop the demon king from descending. Leona said, "That's a great idea." Regan continued. I can't imagine myself loving anyone, but if by some miracle that did happen, I wouldn't want to force my child to carry the burden of saving the world. Leona commented, "Let's take down all those magical beasts. We'll save the world ourselves. The angel told them, "That's not impossible, I guess, but dealing with the demon king is super hard. I really think it would be better if you two just fell in love." Regan emphasized, "Well, if that's what Angel wants, then we'll just continue." Unlike before, the angel thought, "Although, if 3 years of effort led to this, even after 300 years, Rean wouldn't fall in love with Leona." Regan continued. Well search for our own way to save the world. It'll be a backup plan in case the other one fails. Leona said, "All right, then we agree not to fall for each other." Regan replied, "I would rather die than let that happen. Alliance formed." The angel thought, "This is not supposed to happen." Next scene, the priest spoke, "You two come here. Lord Nathaniel is currently offering his prayer. Please wait here for a moment." Rean said, "Wow, Nathaniel, a bigger shot than I expected showed up." Leona asked, "You know him?" Regan said, "Didn't you listen to the chapel lectures at the academy?" Leona replied, "No one actually listens to those properly." Regan explained, "Nathaniel is a high priest expected to become the next pope last year. He became the youngest high priest ever and rose to fame." Leona asked, "Wait, could it be about Angel's gift? the one who is rumored to be so handsome he could bring peace to the continent with just his face. Rean replied, "You didn't know his name, but you knew about his looks." Leona told him, "Well, rumors do spread, so we finally get to see the real deal then." Regan thought, "Why is she making such a slack jaw face? What is this subtle discomfort I'm feeling?" Well, the answer is obvious. She made that face just now from knowing he's handsome. Even though she's been clinging to me all this time, she shows no reaction to me at all and that pisses me off. The high priest came and said, "Sorry for the wait. It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time." Then he introduced himself. Leona said, "Nice to meet you." Then they started chatting. Next moment, Rean introduced himself. Leona shouted, "Don't be so arrogant to the high priest." Regan told her, "You're one to talk about lacking dignity and intelligence considering how quick you are to raise your hand." Leona asked, "What did you say, bastard?" Regan continued. "Just because your opponent's face is handsome, giggling like that is what I call undignified, there's a limit to how shameless you can be." The high priest told them, "Calm down, both of you." Suddenly, a chat screen appeared. Leona thought, "What is this?" Regan asked, "Is this an illusion?" The high priest asked, "Is something wrong?" Both of them thought, "Are we the only ones who can see this?" Leona thought that means this is the angels doing. Then she said, "Lord Nathaniel, I am so sorry. We will be right back." The chats were showing. They're holding hands. Plastic baguette leader asked, "Who the hell is this?" Cavity King wrote, "So sweet. I might get cavities. Your love is love. It's amazing." Leona asked, "What the hell is going on?" Regan replied, "It looks like they're talking among themselves again." The screen came up. High performance juicer said, "Newbies from the central division. Both are great. A blessing to the eyes." Leona shouted, "Angel, are you here?" Regan told her, "No way that kind of mindless calling out would make Angel appear." Next moment, Angel appeared. Rean continued. "There she is?" Leona asked. This is your doing. Angel replied, "I started the dimensional stream because I kept failing and wanted help. I didn't expect this many to show up." Rean asked, "So what exactly is dimensional streaming?" Angel replied, "It's a system where I open my dimensional channel so constellations from other dimensions can watch. I modified it to let the constellations send direct messages." Regan asked, "Did you say constellations? That means all of these people are gods from other dimensions." Angel shouted, "That's right. From now on, these constellations will be supporting me." Both of them thought, "Cavity King, high performance juicer?" Rean asked. So from now on, not just Angel, but also these constellations will be hanging around us. Angel said, "How rude. I used up three years worth of divine power to launch the stream, so I can only keep it open for a short while." Leona told them. They said, "I'm cute. They don't seem like bad gods." Regan thought, "Am I the only sane one here?" Leona spoke. Whatever. It's fine. She thought, "It doesn't seem like they can actually harm us anyway. Next scene. Both of them said, "We are really sorry." The high priest replied, "No, no, don't worry about it. I also just received a sudden revelation and headed to the prayer room." While I was praying, I learned about the mission God gave you, too. If there is anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask. It is surprising that a being only mentioned in ancient texts actually exists, but the fact that we know nothing about it is extremely dangerous. Leona replied, "It's okay. We will do it. Please let us. She thought way better than having a kid with Rean, the priest said. Throwing yourself into this for world peace without hesitation. How noble of you. Leona replied. I'm not that impressive. Rean spoke. Contact me if anything comes up with magical beasts. Well then, I will take my leave. The priest told him, "Wait a moment. Please. I have something that might be useful for you too, so I'll bring it right now." Regan thought. Why is she so annoyed? If I mess this up, she might stop talking to me completely again. The screen came up. The mood is ice cold. Tough being the newbie. Since we're already here, why not try something, too? The constellations were chatting with each other. One of them said, "If you're sticking them together anyway, might as well add XX, too." Another replied, "Doing XX in a temple now. That's the ultimate taboo. By the way, let's vote." Voting result. Hand stuck. 453 votes. XX stuck. Three votes. The will of God has descended upon the world. Leona thought, "Seriously, these people are nuts. Nobody's responding, and now it's just that one guy." She said, "The constellations have been saying weird stuff non-stop." Regan replied, "Can't you behave while we're in the temple?" Leona thought. "Feels like something is about to happen. And what was that voting thing they were talking about earlier? Suddenly, she was kicked by a divine beast. Rean thought, "Wait, what?" The next moment, both of them were on the floor. The priest asked, "Are you okay?" Leona replied, "Yes." Somehow, Rean thought, "What is happening?" The high priest spoke, "I'm really sorry. I don't have an excuse." Leona replied, "That's fine, but can someone tell me what's going on here?" The priest said, "This little one is a divine beast named Ruby. Once it touches someone, it sticks to them for a whole day. I went to the storage to grab something for you two and it suddenly appeared. I am truly sorry. We don't have a choice. Just deal with it for a day. Both of them thought we can't deal with this. After that, Rean asked, "Can't you give me a little space?" Leona replied, "Back off more. What you want me to wait outside?" Regan commented, "Honestly, if you could, that would be great." Suddenly, Leona said, "I'm getting off." Regan told her, "You really don't get jokes at all." Leona spoke. "Look over there. What's going on?" Regan told her, "An ether user criminal. Today is really not my day." Ether refers to a special aura different from that of normal humans. Ether users are placed under government supervision because their power is great and therefore highly dangerous. Leona shouted, "Stop narrating so casually and do something already. What are you doing?" Regan asked, "You plan to go out in public looking like this?" Leona said, "So, you're saying those people's lives are less important to you than appearance? Then stay out of my way. I will go even if I have to cut off my own arm." Rean told her, "This is why muscle heads are the worst. Now, here we go. Freeze! Solid breath." The person thought, "What the hell is going on? My body, it's freezing. It hurts." Regan stated, "This is remote suppression. If they can't get close, they can't fight properly. It's on a whole other level. That's the magic I use. Leona thought, "He's mocking me. Should I just punch him once? If only I could show him what happens when you piss off a knight." "Where should I hit him?" Suddenly, Leona spoke. "Get down," Regan asked. "A magic bullet." Leona told him. "The flames are a decoy. The real threat is the sniper. Grab them before they escape. Excuse me. Hold still." Then she shot fire while holding his hand. Leona told him that is the night Remo. After that, Leona spoke because of someone. My first day has been a total disaster. Rean replied, "That is my line." Leona told him, "I'm hungry." Regan said, "Absolutely not. Just endure it. It's only for a day." Leona emphasized, "I haven't eaten at all. Not lunch or dinner. Changing clothes is going to be a hassle, isn't it?" Rean commented. For now, take it off first, then cut one sleeve. I'll use restoration magic on it. I don't want to stay in dirty clothes either, Leona said. Then there's no holding back. Rean continued. Then hurry up and finish up. Leona said, "Using one hand is tricky." She started sounding different voices. Rean thought, "You're just changing clothes. Don't make weird sounds." Leona spoke. The underwear might be the biggest hassle. Regan stated, "You little, you've got some nerves saying stuff like that in front of a guy." Leona asked. "So, I'm not even allowed to speak freely now. It's not like I showed you my naked body or something." Regan told her, showing, "Don't say such things. How improper." Leona asked, "Wait, do you actually see me as a woman? Because I only see you as some dumb magician, not even as a man." She thought, "Is he a virgin?" Never mind. Forget it. asking if he's a virgin is definitely crossing the line. Well, with that face, I seriously doubt it. Then she said, "Wow, what the heck am I supposed to do?" Regan thought, "Being alone with a woman other than my nanny is already a first for me. What the hell is this stupid woman thinking? Doesn't she realize she's alone with a guy even earlier when she fell on top of me? What am I doing remembering something like that? Get it together. Since she helped me, I should think of a way to show gratitude. I shouldn't be a jerk. Leona asked, "What is it? If you're going to keep causing trouble, then please stop." Regan replied, "No, it's just the road was tough. Is there anything you want? And there's also the matter of the magic bullet. If my words offended you, I can give you money. Girls like shiny things, right?" Leona asked, "Why did the conversation go from a fight to talking about money? But if I had to name something, maybe the SSS rank new product, Roar of the Underworld: Black Dragon. If you don't know, then never mind. Anyway, just have the store send the invoice to the Crawford family. Rean replied. Do whatever you want. Leona told him, "All right, you can look over here now." Regan said, "I'm almost done there, too." Both of them looked at each other. Leona asked, "What? Are you trying to act like some kind of celebrity?" Regan replied, "You're the one who's looking like a beggar on the street." Leona continued, "Unbelievable. Not even royalty would dress like that. Leona asked. So, do you always sleep in those filthy clothes? Leona replied, "This is my training clothes. I'm going to practice tonight." Regan stated, "A magician needs proper sleep to construct magic formulas." Then at night, Rean said, "Seriously, I can't get any rest at all." Leona replied, "You just have to endure it until we save the world. That's why I have to keep honing my skills." Rean thought, "Fine, whatever. I'll just give up. Guess I'll read a book or something. I can't concentrate. Come to think of it, this might be the first time I've seen someone train this close up." Is she that focused? It's like I'm not even in her field of vision, surprisingly. Just watching her is kind of fun. Fixed foot positioning and a steady lower body. A stable and precise sword trajectory. Power evenly distributed throughout the body with perfect balance. Eyes locked on a single point. unwavering gaze and every time she concentrates a red ether similar to hers surrounds her. Beautiful. What am I even thinking? Leona asked, "Why are you hitting yourself in the face?" Regan replied, "There was a mosquito." Leona asked, "Are you bored? Want to go back to the room." Suddenly, a person came and asked, "Room? What do you mean by that? And if my eyes are not wrong, it looks like you were holding hands." Regan thought this murderous gaze. Leona said, "Senior." Nathan asked, "Leona is welcoming me back to headquarters. It's like a dream," Leona replied. "You haven't changed at all, senior, weren't you on a long-term mission? Are you already back?" Regan thought, "Who the heck is that guy?" Nathan asked. "But who is this guy that's been holding your hand this whole time? Did you get a boyfriend without telling me?" Leona spoke. "Come on, quit with the weird jokes already. This is Rean, a fellow rookie and a mage. And this is Nathan, a senior in the night academy. Nathan asked, "Why are you still holding hands?" Leona replied, "There was a bit of trouble during a mission, so we have to stay like this for the whole day." Nathan told her, "I'll cut him off." Leona commented, "You've gotten better at joking." "Well, then I'm going to go train a bit more. Senior is a bit air-headed, but he's not a bad person." Leona thought that guy, he's way too dense. After some time, Leona said, "Then I'll practice my sword here." So just stand around or something. Rean replied, "Fine, I got it." He thought that guy. Are they really just senior and junior? He was clearly looking at me like I was a threat to something he owns. Pathetic fool. On top of those looks, his ability should be flawless, too. So why on earth would he be in love with someone like Leona? Why would he go for a woman who's practically a gorilla? He's got to be insane. No, maybe there's actually something good about this gorilla that I just don't know yet. Looks wise, she's not on my level. But I guess she's not bad. That red hair is rare in the Empire. Her forehead peeking through her bangs, those gracefully arched eyebrows, eyes like rubies, a well-shaped nose, smooth cheeks, and that clear skin. Red wet hair clinging to her pale neck, sweat trailing from her collar and dripping down, and that sweet body scent. What the hell am I thinking? No, that's not it. There's no way these are my true feelings. It's probably all because of their power. Leona shouted, "Angel, are you pulling weird pranks with the constellations again?" Leona asked, "What is it all of a sudden? Did the angel show up?" Regan replied, "No way." He thought, "She's not here." Leona asked, "What are you even doing? Seriously?" Regan thought, "Wait, does that mean what I just thought was not because of the angel's power, so you're telling me everything I felt was truly my own feelings?" Leona spoke. Come on, it's over. We're going home. Are you listening? Rean said, "Don't touch me right now. I might be suffering from hyper sensitive magic sensory syndrome, so please refrain from touching me without permission." Leona thought, "What's gotten into him now?" She said, "Fine, I'm soaked in sweat right now. Is it okay if I take a shower?" Regan asked, "Are you stupid or what?" Leona replied, "I'll just reach into the bathroom and wash myself." Rean said, "Anybody's shower is absolutely off limits. No back talk." Leona asked, "So, you're telling me to go to bed all sweaty and wet like this? I'll stink like sweat. Will you be fine with that? What is wrong with you?" Regan stated, "Just cut it already. Cut my arm." Leona said, "You're bleeding from your nose. After that, I was able to wash my body using a cleaning magic tool." That night, Rean swore to himself that he would definitely invent a magic that would let anyone shower without having to take off their clothes. After some time, Leona asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?" Regan replied, "I can go without sleep for a day. It won't kill me." Leona told him, "But isn't it important for mages to sleep properly? Your eyes are really blue." Regan asked, "You just noticed that now?" Leona replied, "It's not like I've ever stared at your face closely. I just always thought eyes were usually either green or light blue, so I assumed they were something like that. Rean told her, "Your eyes seem to be a bit off. Maybe you should try going to an eye doctor." He thought, "Seriously, do I remember the color of her eyes just because I like it? It's just because of their red color. Like they're stained with blood, a color I've never seen anywhere else. That's why I remember it." What was that sound? No way. She's sleeping while sitting, even though it's the middle of the night, and alone with a man who is extremely attractive, skilled in magic, and just all around handsome. How can she sleep in such an unguarded state? What should I do? Next scene, Leona asked, "The fact that I was called alone, does that mean it's something we shouldn't talk about while this guy is here?" The commander replied, "It's not really like that, but it is something related to your private matters. It's about the new recruit who will be coming to the central branch." Well, that person, I mean, the new recruit is someone you've known since childhood. He just graduated top of his class from the spirit academy. Leona replied, I don't have any friends like that. Rean thought. Spirit users and necromancers are abilities that are inherited through bloodlines, and most of them are nobles. Judging from the commander's reaction, it seems like it is not a collateral branch, but a direct line. He seems to be from a highranking family. The commander said, "That is why I thought I would call you first and ask about it if you wish. We can transfer you to a different branch." Leona replied, "Thank you for your concern, but I really don't care whether that guy comes or not. I will leave it to your judgment. Besides, if anyone should be transferred, shouldn't it be him, not me? Doesn't that seem wrong?" The commander replied, "Understood. If that is what you say, that is that right. There are other workrelated things to discuss." After interrogating the Ether user criminal captured yesterday, this is what we found out. Both of the two have no memory of their crime and their memory cuts off when they were on Galar Island. Also, this might be a coincidence, but yesterday evening, a worker went missing from the Galar Island mine. Because of the previous incident, it was not handled by the district team, but by our special forces. I will prepare a portal. So, once you are free, head to the site. Leona said, "I can go even in my current state. I will probably break free along the way. Rean thought. The ship's schedule is not even certain, so it seems we should hurry. He said, "I will head there right away." After that, the lady spoke. We will connect you to Mivado's city, the closest city to Galar Island. You two seem to be getting along quite well. Both of them replied, "It's not like that." Leona asked, "Isn't that city known for its seafood?" Regan replied, "We're not going there to eat." Next scene. Rean told her, "Honestly, you need to approach the mission more seriously for now. Let's check the ship schedule. People were selling delicious food." Leona shouted, "Let's eat." Regan told her, "Stay still. You are on a mission and in a state like this. You're planning to eat." Leona replied, "I can't help it. My hunger has reached its limit. We still have an hour until the next boat, so let's eat something," Regan replied. Wait 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, their hands were separated. Leona asked. So, you were counting in seconds. It's so precise. It's kind of scary, Rean replied. This much is only natural. Leona thought. This is why wizards are so unbearable. She said, "Well, since we are here, let's go eat something." The couple said from that restaurant earlier looked delicious. Rean replied, "Let's eat freely and meet at the dock in an hour. We're not exactly on the level where eating together as a couple makes sense. Just because we were stuck together for a whole day due to a constellation prank doesn't mean something changed. Leona stated, "Honestly, you have no delicacy. There are better ways to say things. You know, I'm eating there. I want to eat that couple set." After some time, she thought, "There's no rule that says we have to eat." The couple said together. "I eat so much." A little girl spoke. I think you are going to need this. It is a protection charm to ward off bad luck. Leona asked, "You made this?" The little girl replied, "The back was made by my grandma, and I picked the leaves inside myself. She told me to make sure to give this charm to that lady. Leona spoke once she says that there is no way I could not take it. The little girl continued, "Grandma said if you wear it, it will protect you from dangerous men." Leona asked, "Do you even understand what that means?" The little girl replied, "No idea. She just told me to pass on the message." Leona asked, "Then is it okay if I buy all the charms here?" She thought, "They might just be for peace of mind, but they don't seem like a bad thing. They might even protect my chastity from those weird constellations." The little girl told her, "Nope, that is not allowed." Grandma said, "You can only have this one." Leona spoke. "Then there is someone who is in a similar situation as me. A jerk. I mean, a friend. Just one friend. I'll go get him right now. So stay here until I get back." Leona thought, "Where the heck is Rean? seriously always disappears at times like this. Then she heard people chatting. Look at that guy. He is too handsome. Is he an actor or something? He's so beautiful. Did we even have someone like that in this town? Suddenly Leona said, "Come with me. We don't have time this way." Regan asked, "What the heck? All of a sudden, did you find a clue or something like that?" Leona told him, "No, it's to protect our chastity. Come on, let's go." After that, Rean asked, "Is it really there? Seriously, you are always like this, dragging people around without enough proof." Leona asked, "Do you know where the girl who was selling charms went?" The lady replied, "No one has been there. It's been like that since the old lady who lived here passed away." Next scene, Leona said, "Wow, it's huge, but can we really transport it all on a ship this size?" Leona asked, "Did you even pay attention in geography class?" Leona replied, "Not really. I slept through it. Sorry about that. Where were we?" Regan explained. Galar Island has a population of about 50 people, all living off mining. Recently, they've been using magical tools, so transporting things is not an issue. Also, since they extract rare minerals, even a small amount is enough. Leona asked, "Why would the demon kings send a magic tome to such an insignificant mine?" Rean replied. The Sulfian statue on Galar Island cried black tears. Don't rush to conclusions. We first need to investigate. Leona said, "We might actually run into a magical beast." Suddenly, a person said, "Trying to get a free ride. You've got guts. Get this bastard out of here." The other one replied, "Please don't dump me on Galar Island." Next moment, he said, "Galar Island? It's hell. Please, anywhere but there." Rean asked, "Is there anything wrong? Could you please tell us what happened on that island?" The person replied, "That place has turned into a lawless wasteland overrun by a magicka beasts. Most of the residents were slaughtered by the magical beasts. My friend and I barely survived getting on this ship. Then we fainted. But when we woke up, this ship was going back to that island." Regan said, "If most of the residents have been wiped out, we might not be able to handle this alone. I think we should go back and call for reinforcements. Leona told him. But there might still be people left behind. Let's save them first and let the reinforcements handle the rest. Rean asked. And what if both of us get taken down? Can you really take responsibility for that? Leona asked. Why are you so negative? Then they realized people were watching. Leona said, "Don't worry. We will do whatever we can to help you." Suddenly, she thought he's smiling. Another person tried to attack her. Rean used shield magic. Leona asked, "What was that for?" The person said, "Nice reflex. I guess this is not the end." Angel came and told them, "Those guys are the demon king's minions. Magical beast behavior changes based on your emotions, so you need to stay calm when fighting them. They feed off humans negative emotions to fuel their magic. In other words, the more fear or anger we show, the stronger they get. That's what I remember." Rean said, "Let's deal with this situation." The beast started laughing. "Such simple-minded fools." Leona shouted, "Shut up, you magical beast." Angel told her, "Come on, that's not okay. Don't let your anger get the best of you." The magical beast spoke, "We don't feed on simple emotions like anger. As the demon king's trusted followers, we thrive on the most common emotions humans feel. Why are the magical based off shame?" Leona asked, "Isn't anger still better?" The magical beast stated, "You idiot humans. You'll regret this." Leona spoke. "Is that a wave? Get down." She thought, "No, I'm getting soaked." "How am I not wet?" she asked. "Are you okay?" Regan replied, "Do I look okay to you? Why is it only me?" Leona told him. "Because you don't exercise enough." The magical beast asked, "So, you're mad just because you were the only one who got wet? Unfortunately, we love feeding on that shame, Rean asked. Why am I the only one getting attacked? Leona spoke. Don't get mad over such small things, she thought. The attacks have been focused on him for a while now, but why am I the only one still perfectly fine? Then she remembered the little girl said, "If you wear it, it will protect you from dangerous men." She thought, "Don't tell me it's really because of this." The magical beast said, "It's the smell of that flower. Stay away." Leona asked. "So, you're scared of the flower inside." The magical beast started attacking them. Leona replied, "It won't work because I have this." Regan shouted. "Curse you, idiot!" Leona thought. "Sorry." He ran out of power to use levitation magic. The next moment, Leona caught him and asked, "Are you okay?" Regan stated, "Let me go. I will remember this." Leona replied, "Even though I saved you." Leona stated, "You definitely will pay the price for humiliating me." She told him, "You can't do this alone. I have a charm, so I'll go fast and you can support me." Rean spoke, "It can't be helped, I guess." The magical beast said, "This is bad. Please, someone help." Leona told him, "Take this, you idiot." Angel spoke. "Wow, this is so cool." The other gods chatted, "Isn't the fight scene kind of long?" The other one said, "Exactly. Show more lovey devet affection." The third god told them, "Do something before the demon beast gets sealed." The other god asked, "How about destroying the ship for now? I will cast my vote." Voting result. Destroy the ship and abandon them on the island. 465 votes. Let them quietly return home. Just one vote. The will of God shall decide the fate of the world. Leona asked. How are they still alive? Rean spoke. I bet the constellations are meddling again. The next moment, a huge wave attacked the ship and destroyed it. Next scene, both of them woke up and asked, "Where are we?" The old man said, "You're awake. I was planning to carry both of you back because you were unconscious. I am the village chief of Galar Island." The other day, our ship was stolen by someone, but for some reason, people drifted alongside the ship fragments, and we were also able to contact the main island. Both of them thought, "Seems like the beasts have been safely dealt with." The old man asked, "Do you know anything about that?" Leona told him the story. The old man said, "Criminals sneaked onto the ship." "I see. Those people are the ones causing trouble up until now. I'm glad you're safe," Leona thought. "Now I can't tell him it was the beasts doing it." The old man continued. "However, there is no ship prepared for your return. I already requested one from the main island, so it will probably arrive by tomorrow. And since the inn is currently filled with injured people, you guys are going to share a room. Both of them thought, "No, this can't be." Leona thought, "Those damn constellations." She thought, "Regan is exhausted, but I really want to sleep in a soft, comfy bed, too. However, that guy definitely won't give up the bed. Would it be cruel to decide it by arm wrestling?" Rean thought. She seems to be trying to pin me down and take over the room for herself. Well, since she helped me out a lot today, I guess I can give up the room. Besides, if I show such a pathetic appearance again, Leona asked, "You can swim, right?" Regan said, "Don't tell me. You're planning to swim all the way there." Leona replied, "If you don't like it, then stay here by yourself." Rean asked. You're not kidding. Leona told him, "If the two of us stay on this small island, who knows what might happen. You can stay overnight alone and come back tomorrow if you want. Rean shouted, "If you are going, at least cast a body temperature spell first." The gods were chatting. I have never seen people who deliberately swim back before. Will they get excited seeing each other's wet skin? The other one replied, "That probably won't happen with these two." Next scene, Leona said, "I feel like I'm going to die." Regan replied, "For once, I'm with you." Leona thought. I never thought he would really follow me. Looking back, he is surprisingly wellb built, isn't he? Rean spoke. Stop looking. Let's go. Leona replied, I'm not looking at you or anything. Why don't we take a rest instead? Are you coming? Angel replied. Of course. Leona asked, "What is that?" Angel explained, "I picked it up in the sea a while ago and collected it. When a magical beast is sealed, it turns into a crystal sphere like this." Leona asked, "Is that it, or do you have something else to talk about?" Angel said, "Both of you, thank you for defeating the magical beast today." Leona replied, "It's no big deal. Aren't we the parents of the savior of this world?" Angel told her, "So, is that how amazing your child is going to be?" "Well, then I'm going to recharge my divine power." Leona thought, "What is this? Isn't this the highest grade holy water? Could it be she? Is this an apology for making us suffer? But I'm sorry. I can't live up to her expectations. Next day, Leona thought, "The weather is nice and I feel great. Maybe I'll take a walk around the dormatory." The prince came and said, "Long time no see. I knew it. It was the right choice to wait here." Leona thought, "Come to think of it, this guy was transferred, too." She asked, "What do you want from me? If you have nothing to say, I will leave." The prince said, "I wanted to see you." Leyona asked, "Are you underestimating me?" The prince told her, "Since you are a woman, shouldn't you be more polite?" Leona replied, "For a woman, I apologize if my language is terrible, your highness, the first prince. I apologize for committing a terrible mistake." The prince asked, "Are you still mad at me? Did you act that way because I'm a friend?" Leona replied, "I think I said this before, but I'll repeat it one more time. I never imagined that the childhood friend I knew as a commoner was actually a prince and there's a reason for that. But I don't care whether you're a prince or a commoner. Being looked at by the empress as a female to bear her grandchild is so disgusting. I can't stand it. She thought at that time I should have just gone on a rampage. Why did I only break the window? The prince told her, I just want you to be by my side and that's enough. Leona shouted, "You are so annoying. So, can you stop acting like my boyfriend? The prince spoke. I didn't mean it like that. After that, Leona thought, "So annoying." She asked, "Why can't you understand? That's not the problem." The next moment, she asked, "What are you doing here? Did you eaves drop?" Regan spoke. You were loudly having a lover's quarrel right in front of the entrance during the day, so it's not like I was eavesdropping or anything. Leona told him, "That's not it. Well, even if you ask. Regan asked, "Do you have any relationship with the prince?" Leona replied, "I'm telling you, it's not like that. Can you leave me alone?" She thought, "This guy, what is it about him?" Regan stated, "Hear me out. That prince is dangerous." Leona asked, "What do you mean the prince is dangerous?" She thought, "I may treat him coldly, but he's not a bad guy himself. He was so timid ever since we were kids that I even used to protect him. Besides, he's also well known for being highly respected by the people. Rean told her, "Looks like he was just putting on an act in front of you. Like you don't know how scheming he and his father really are. That's why you've been so carefree." Leona thought, calling the emperor his father. "Seriously?" she asked. "Are you insane?" Regan replied, "The one who is insane is the prince. He's the type who will do anything to get what he wants." Leona stated, "Even if that's true, he's still not as bad as you anyway. This has nothing to do with you, so can you just stay out of it?" Regan thought, "I went out of my way to tell you, and you don't even realize you're being set up, but still, ever since I saw those two earlier, this feeling keeps welling up inside me." After that, Leona asked, "Is there really a freshman welcome party?" The lady replied, "Yes, but it's more like a hazing than a welcome, for example. They throw impossible tasks at you, make you do tough training, they torment you by all sorts of means, but there is a reason for that. It's to form a pair with a junior you like. Leona thought, it is unusual for Rean and me to have become a pair. The lady continued, "It's a bit hard to say, but the people in the central area tend to be a bit strange, so please be careful." Leona thought, "There are many geniuses. It's also known for having a lot of crazy people." Then she replied, "Got it. Thank you for the warning, she thought. This year it's me, Rean, and including us, there should be a total of five people. If that's the case, then I'll get to meet the other two at the welcome party. If anyone tries to underestimate me, I'll shut them up with my skill. It'll definitely be fine. Next day at the welcoming party, Leona thought, even though it's an auditorium, it feels like a stadium. She thought, there's still time until the opening ceremony. Should I check up on the skill level of my peers while I still can? Is that someone specialized in close combat? Fighting him would be interesting. Why is he dodging me? Treating people like they're germs. She said, "That's enough, by the way. Thanks." Suddenly, Siri shouted, "It's a woman. Please spare me." Leona said, "Wait a minute." Angel asked, "Isn't that a rival showing up? What will you do if Leona ends up liking that person?" Regan using telepathy said, "You like that kind of type?" Angel replied, "That's not it. just thought those muscles were amazing. Rean spoke. I don't really care either way. Angel commented, "It's sad not to know the beauty of muscles. Anyway, this is a big deal. We have to gather everyone." The gods started chatting. This dimension might be insane. So many beautiful, good-looking people. The other gods spoke. A super muscular macho wolf who is bad with women. His ears and tail popped out. Right. Angel told them, "Everyone from the constellation. That's not the point. We have to get Rean and Leona together. Rean thought. A beast man getting chosen as a squad member. Is he that skilled? Angel told him, "If you want to win, you have to start by knowing your enemy. Go gather some intel." Rean asked, "Why do I have to do something like that?" The gods said, "If he's a werewolf, then does that mean Rean has cat ears or something?" Regan thought, "Fine, I'll go." Syrian shouted. They said there weren't any women. Leona also shouted, "It's the first time in 150 years that a woman has been chosen." Regan told her, "Stop it. Can't you see he doesn't like it?" Leona replied, "I was just trying to say hello since it's our first meeting." Regan spoke. "He's scared. Leave it for later." Leona thought. "Why is he nice to everyone except me?" One of the gods said, "If you don't talk to her soon, you'll end up with cat ears." Rean thought. I have to endure. I absolutely must prevent the cat ears from appearing no matter what he asked. Are you okay? Sir replied. I am saved. Thank you so much. One of the gods wrote the era of diversity after all. This reeks of delicious BL potential. Angel said this development is way too unexpected. Nathan came and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Congratulations to all 150th class recruits. These are the peers you will be struggling alongside from now on. Make sure to remember their faces. Well, Leona thought, "Those beast folk look at Rean and me like we're thugs. What kind of face is the prince making? Wait, when did another person get here?" Nathan continued, "Got all your teammates faces memorized at this welcome party. The seniors will be choosing a partner for each of you." "Of course, some pairs are already set. In any case, everyone be very careful not to get hurt because having a major injury means you can't team up anymore." Rean thought he sounds like he's actually hoping someone gets hurt. Nathan stated, "All right, then follow us from here on because now the real deal begins." After that, Nathan said, "Now, this is the venue we have prepared for you all. Everything has been perfectly arranged. Don't worry, we are watching and enjoying. I mean, we are properly monitoring everything with drones, too. If anyone wants to give up, just wave this." Also, the new Kamar who defeats the boss monster first will become the leader of the class. I recommend giving it your all. Leona asked, "Are there any perks to becoming the leader?" Nathan replied, "Of course. The leader gets priority for taking vacations, using missions, and more, and they get to boss around the others in their cohort for an entire month." Leona thought, "No way I'm letting anyone else have it, not just Rean. You never know what the others might make you do. I will be the one to defeat the boss monster." The gods started chatting. Another combat. Seriously, too many action scenes for romance. Leona thought, "We're soldiers, you know. Why are you trying to turn this into a romance?" The god wrote, "I'm not against action scenes, but I would like more emotionally intense situations to squeeze out the feels, you know." Then let's go with this one. Let's decide with a roulette this time. Spin. Both of them thought, "What kind of ridiculous test is this? What do pherommones even do?" Leona thought, "Either way, this is really bad in public." She said, "We have to go next scene." Regan said, "Mind letting me go already?" Leona replied, "We'll get separated if we're not in contact, so it can't be helped." Regan told her, "I don't want this either." Thankfully, no lucky cat ears popped up. Leona said, "Terms like that room are things I'm seeing for the first time, so first let's set those aside for now. It doesn't seem to be about infantileization." Rean spoke. It doesn't seem to be a body swap either. There's nothing this time, but no way. Stay on guard, Leona shouted. All right, let's go beat up that boss monster. Rean thought, but there's been a rose scent for a while now. Is there a monster that tempts with its scent? On the other hand, Nathan asked, "Still no sign of the boss." The other person replied, "Yes, it's hard to find, but they're not kids. If it gets bad, they'll find the boundary stone and escape. Nathan thought, I prepared all this for Leona. Of all people, she's stuck with that Rean guy. That's what bothers me. After some time, Leona shouted, "Regan on your left." But the next moment, Leona saved him. She asked, "Aren't these guys kind of big, weird for C- rank? Are you okay?" Regan replied, "I'm fine, so stop talking to me," Leona thought. He's been acting weird for a while now. She asked, "Are you okay? Maybe you should take a break." Suddenly, she thought, "Something smells like a forest." She asked, "Don't you smell something?" Regan replied, "You can smell it, too." Leona spoke. There's even a refreshing fruity aroma. Rean replied, "What I smell is this overwhelming rose scent. It's driving me crazy." Both of them thought, "No way. Is this the work of the constellation?" Next moment, a vampire came and spoke. So you are the kid's lord mentioned I'm not seeing things and my angel asked why is a vampire here moreover that energy is demonic that's impossible so you are one of those extinct vampires the lady vampire asked that aura don't tell me sian didn't fall into eternal slumber explained vampires have the ability to shapeshift and control animals some use their beautiful looks for evil deeds but they were supposed to be just a single clan what a dense concentration of demonic energy. Everyone be on alert. She's a vampire queen, the highest rank in the vampire clan. The lady vampire stated, "My job is to bring those kids back. That's all. Especially the boy. He's just my type. Such a beautiful face." Regan said, "Thank goodness that scent was from the queen's power. I thought it was another prank from those constellations." Leona commented, "Now that we know the cause, time to crush her. If you're tempted, stay out of it." Rean replied, "You really think I would fall for some pathetic effect?" The vampire shouted, "Why won't you just give in already? No man can survive a direct hit from my attacks." She thought, "I'll break the guy first, use him as a hostage, then take down the girl, become mine," Regan said. "Smells like a cesspit." The vampire shouted, "What the hell is this?" Next scene, Leona asked, "We are definitely heading in the direction of the boundary stone." She thought, "There are two ways to escape from a dungeon. Defeat the boss and destroy the dungeon or shatter the boundary stone to temporarily create an exit gate. My body has been burning up for a while now, but he is clearly worse off. What the hell is this?" She asked, "I'm going to ask one more time. This scent we are all feeling. It's not your ability, right?" The vampire replied, "I said no. Why would I smell like a cesspit?" Regan thought. Even though we neutralized her, the scent hasn't gone away, and even the angel doesn't seem to know anything. Leona thought, "Then our suspects are narrowing down. Those idiot constellations. I hate to give up, but it can't be helped." After some time, Rean said, "Sulfian, keeper of peace. Please save us. Guide us toward hope." Leona asked. Are you really okay? Rean replied. I told you. I'm fine. Leona said, "I'm just worried about you." Rean thought, "I want to sink my teeth into that neck right now. Bury my nose in it and inhale that sweet scent. Get it together. Why the hell is this happening to me?" And Leona doesn't even realize what I'm going through. Suddenly, Leona shouted, "Watch out! What is with that?" Regan said, "Get out of my way." The lady vampire spoke, "You came to save me, my lord." The vampire king replied, "A pleasure to meet you. It seems my subordinate behaved most rudely. I told them very clearly to escort you gently to think you ended up imprisoned. How disgraceful. Angel asked, "What the hell is this overwhelming demonic energy? Don't tell me." The vampire clan actually joined the demon king's army. The vampire king said, "I heard there was a pesky fly buzzing around, a human who defeated a beast. I didn't expect it to be you, Sulfian. It is still too early to answer that one. As much as I would love to stay, I'll leave the rest to him." I did notice unusual restlessness today. Now I see why, especially that gentleman. He doesn't realize it yet. Such a luscious, tormented emotion. I've gone on too long. Farewell for now. The next moment, the big snake attacked them. Leona thought. Regan is not in good condition to fight right now. Slim chance of winning. She said, "Fine, I'll try to get its attention. You go shatter the boundary stone and open the escape route." Regan thought, I definitely don't want to be a burden. After some time, both of them came out of the dungeon. Nathan shouted, "Leona, are you okay, Rean? Explain yourself. Seriously, what the hell happened to you two?" Regan told him the whole story. Nathan asked, "The Vampire Clan king showed up. A clan that vanished in ancient times has returned. First things first, secure safety. Move these two to the temple right away and send a recall order to the other three rookies still in the dungeon." Next scene. Leona asked, "What? Not even holy power can heal this." The priest replied, "The demonic energy has been purified. Regretfully, we don't know what is causing the scent. Death triggers arousal. This is the only room that has been consecrated." After some time, Rean asked, "What on earth is this? What are you doing?" The priest replied, "Just in case, please understand, this is a measure to suppress sudden impulses. We have placed a protective barrier on her, too. until the high priest arrives. Please ensure nothing indecent occurs. Both of them thought, are you kidding me? After that, the gods were chatting. Seeing Rean in restraints is way too spicy. The other one replied, "Looks like Rean is the type who is weak to pherommones." Regan asked, "You've all been going on about these pherommones. What even are they?" A god replied. So pherommones are a constellation term for human perfume syndrome where a person smells irresistible. The other becomes addicted to their scent. It's just a system for population growth. Leona spoke, "So if all that is true, does that mean even a guy can get pregnant?" The god replied, "Well, technically yes, but Leona shouted, that's perfect, Rean. You can carry the baby." Regan also shouted, "Don't be ridiculous." Leona continued, "Wouldn't a mage be more efficient at it anyway? They don't move around much. You look like you're suffering. I'll help you out." "Seriously, why are you acting scared like I'd actually do it?" Regan said, "Quit joking and get away from me. Wait, what are you trying to do?" Leona replied, "Pherommones or whatever they are. If the scent is the issue, just stop smelling it. No, no smell." Regan shouted. "You idiot!" A god said. She seriously is insane. She's gone full psycho. Rean thought, "This girl is not sane either. Is this the end for me? This is not it. I have no choice but to use my final card." Leona asked, "What do you think you're doing?" Regan stated, "The tables have turned." Leona asked, "Did you seriously use magic over a prank?" Regan thought, "I've always been on the receiving end. Even the day our hands touched, I was the only one flustered." Leona asked, "What is happening?" Rean spoke. Say you're sorry. I'm not a monster. If you apologize, then maybe I'll forgive you. Where's that tough act from earlier? The next moment, Leona sneezed. She said, "Sorry, I tried to hold it in, but it's freezing out here. I just had a brilliant idea. How long can you maintain this cold air magic?" Regan replied, "Usually about an hour, but right now I'm not feeling well, so probably about 30 minutes at most." Leona spoke. Perfect. If you catch a cold, your nose would clog up. Then you won't be able to smell the pherommones. I'm a genius, right? The high priest came and spoke. We heard you were in trouble. Oh no, the holy judgment. After some time, the high priest said, "My apologies. What a terrible misunderstanding." Regan replied, "I can't blame you for jumping to conclusions." He thought, "Indeed, I wasn't exactly in my right mind either." Then he said, "Well, now that the checkup is done, if you'll excuse us." Leona noted, "Something feels missing, the angel. I haven't seen her since we met the vampire lord." Then she asked, "Constellation? Anyone know where she went?" The god replied, "She went to investigate if something happened between the vampire tribe and the demon lord." Rean asked, "What is with the hesitation? Did your feet get glued to the floor?" Leona thought, "Tomorrow is the weekend, so no need to see that smug face again." Next scene, Leona shouted, "Grandma." Aanin said, "Welcome back. How was your first day on the job?" Leona replied, "It was super exhausting. So much happened. Why are you up so early?" Aanin replied, "Because episode 15 of my drama will be released today. I've been dying to see what happens next." Leona thought, "It's that show everyone's been talking about recently." She asked, "Can I watch with you?" Aanin replied, "Of course, dear." After that, Avanin explained everything to her and said, "Now the heroine's child has appeared, but it seems there are three potential fathers." Leona replied, "This kind of mess is what everyone is watching these days." Leona thought, "Watching other people's messy love lives is pretty entertaining. Maybe the constellations watch us the same way. That guy's behavior is just like Rean. His way of speaking is even worse than Rean's." Did he really just kick her? Even Rean wouldn't go that far. Rivian told her, "It's just a show. Don't take it seriously and get involved with trash like that." Perl, Leona's mother, came and said, "Trash or not, all men are the same. Would you please stop watching that drama already? It's not featuring that useless ex-husband of yours. Is it?" Aanin replied, "He's all looks, no substance." Definitely not worth watching. Leona thought, "Honestly, this drama might be messy, but the love story between those two was even worse. Mom sued her cheating husband and rung him out in court. First woman to divorce, and first female magistrate in the empire. Grandma stayed loyal to grandpa, fended off the side branch nobles like hungry hyenas, and became the first female count in the empire. My dad was apparently a wannabe actor who's only good-looking. He's a very bad person. Flirted with everyone. How did my mom even fall for someone like him? Was it because of me? Because she got pregnant with me? Aolda said, "Stop it. It was not your fault. That was my mistake." Aanin also told her, "The real reason was your mom's weakness for prefaces. Mother said, "But giving birth to you, that was the best decision I ever made." Leona thought, "The angel said, "My child will be a hero. At this rate, that child will never be born. Not that I can picture myself as a mom anyway. That guy would seriously be the worst. Next scene, Dex said, "Sorry for the late greeting," Leona thought. "Is it just me or is he shaking my hand a bit too hard? Is he trying to pick a fight?" The shop owner came and told her, "Is this the item you were looking for?" Leona replied, "That's it." Dex spoke, "As a token of friendship, allow me to present that item as a gift." Leona shouted, "Charge it to the Grand Duche of Crawford." Dex asked, "Are you and Regan dating?" Leona replied, "What?" She thought, "How did he even jump to that conclusion?"
