#690. What have you been doing?

“How is the production of nectar going?”

“The supply is still extremely short, but it seems to be being sorted out.”

“Even if the situation is stable, keep increasing production. After all, you will need nectar constantly.”

“Yes, Princess.”

A green-haired woman sitting on a throne.

Arbella answered Maia’s question steadily.

Nectar was still selling like hot cakes as it boasted of fantastic medicinal effects such as immortality.

Because there is no human being who does not have the desire to live long.

However, no matter how short the supply is, if it continues continuously, the market will be stable.

Confusion in the market was subsiding as those who had been hoarding nectar collected enough quantities or stopped hoarding after being warned by the green dragon clan.

In the past, it was difficult to find even if you had money, but now you can see it if you put your feet up.

In other words, the green dragon clan’s nectar business was now on the perfect rock.

So it was.

while listening to the report.

What Maia could afford to ask personal questions.

“…Have you heard anything from him?”

“The letter I sent you the other day is the last one for my father.”

“….”

Maybe Barbara didn’t like the answer.

Maia frowned slightly.

After reading her thoughts, Arbella carefully sought her opinion.

“If it is okay with the princess, we will try to contact her mother-in-law.”

“There is no need to do that. Thinking of the current situation of the Silver Dragon clan, that man must be out of his mind.”

Maia was cynical.

Of course, I didn’t feel comfortable.

In addition to the legacy of the Dark Dawn, Limon was going through all sorts of hardships to handle the affairs of the World Federation.

It is also strange that since he went to the Russian Khanate, he refused to even make a phone call, let alone a video call, and only sent letters.

But that’s for a while.

I’m going to go to the middle of the day.

Maia touched the ring on her finger.

And just that alone made me feel surprisingly comfortable, and I suddenly thought about it.

I’m glad I have this ring.

If you haven’t become a priest.

did anything for him

I was going to do it again

If this feeling had been rejected…

―Because he would have gone mad.

Love is happiness.

Because you can feel joy just by loving someone, and the time you spend with your lover becomes a blessing.

love is pain

Because you feel sad just because you can’t be connected to the one you love, and the time away from your lover becomes painful.

living a long time

As much as I have seen and experienced all kinds of things.

Lin was well aware of that.

So, to some extent, I was prepared.

It would be difficult to meet Yekathrice for a while, or even if we did, it would be a very awkward atmosphere.

So this moment.

Lynn was at a loss for words.

“Hello Sister! good morning!”

“….”

“Did you have a good night? Ainsha remodeled the room, so it must have been a very hot exposure play.”

“What the hell are you doing, a mental monster?”

“There’s no way that Yuri Mental, who even runs away crying after suffering just that much damage, can survive in the Russian Khanate, right?”

‘No, you really ran away crying.’

The clear drops of water that flowed down his cheeks are still vivid in my memory.

Like when did that happen?

Yekathrice laughs single-single and makes jokes.

Her appearance was so unconcerned that it was doubtful whether she was the same person as the girl from yesterday.

But fortunately.

There was no reason to doubt that.

It was because her appearance, which was excessively different from yesterday, to say the least, was rather letting us know that she was the same person.

“…Did you cut that hair yourself?”

“Oh this?”

So very rarely.

Is it hesitation?

Is it trembling?

Or is it trembling?

Catherine’s question, which had a complex expression mixed with various emotions, was unexpectedly taken lightly by Catherine.

“I’m trying to change my mood.”

Squeak.

Even in its original braided state.

came down to the buttocks.

But now, she twisted her silver hair, which was trimmed short enough to cover even the white nape, with her fingers.

Catherine grinned.

“I was attracted to mohican or reggae hair, but after I was heartbroken, I thought bobbed hair was authentic, so I tried it myself.”

“…”

“Why did you fall for me all over again?”

Yekathrice giggled at Rin’s gaze, which became even more complicated.

And he made a funny face.

“As long as you have the heart to do so, I’m always fine.”

Bend your back slightly.

with the head forward.

The girl who spoke in a whisper slowly reached out her hand as if to prove that it wasn’t just words.

widely.

But the hand stopped.

It was because there was another hand that intervened and grabbed it before it reached Rin.

“Ekathrice Lynn is my groom.” With

an expressionless face and

transparent eyes like a doll,

Ainsha said bluntly, blocking the gap between Yekatrice and Rin.

“Do not touch it with dirty hands.”

“…Don’t you think it’s a bit like saying dirty hands to your sister? Even if you look at me like this, I tend to pay a lot of attention to cleanliness.”

“No matter how clean you wash it, the filthiness of trying to steal someone else’s groom will not be erased.”

“Ahaha, that’s a sharp point.”

Is it because yesterday’s anger remains?

Poisonous words that are not sharp.

However, despite Ainsha’s venomous remarks, Yekathrice did not erase her smile.

I just laughed out loud.

Maybe that brazenness rather fanned anger.

The moment Ainsha, who had even cooler eyes, opened her mouth to say something more.

“You stupid princess, that’s enough.”

“No thanks. I’m mad You are innocent even if you kill Yekathrice right away.”

“Ainsha.”

“….”

“I understand that you’re angry, but just look at me and let it pass now.”

Like last night, she was dissatisfied with the fact that the groom, whom she believed would stand by her, rather embraced the unscrupulous stray cat.

Looking at Ainsha, who kept her mouth shut with an expressionless face.

Lin smiled bitterly.

I didn’t know that feeling.

He also agreed with me in that it was not something that could be passed on like this.

Still, there are two reasons to dry Ainsha.

One was because it was clear that the more they quarreled, the better the World Federation would be.

And another one is how Yekathrice, who ran away yesterday, could appear in front of him so brazenly.

Because it was a rough guess.

But I couldn’t convince Ainsha with those words.

Rin stroked her hair and said calmly.

“It’s just that the crazy princess did something crazy, right? There is no need to get angry at each one of these things.”

It seems to be accepted.

Still, I don’t seem to understand.

He looked at Rin with a dissatisfied face for a while.

“…All right. I hate helping Yekathrice even if I die, but looking at Rin’s face, I’ll pass.”

As if I just remembered something.

Ainsha nodded.

Then, she wrapped her arms around Rin’s neck and clung to her, and pressed her pink lips to her ears.

“Instead, tonight, she loves me a lot.”

like a whisper

in a sweet voice.

Still too loud and clear.

Hearing that request, as if he was deliberately trying to tell someone.

Rin turned her head slightly.

And at the end of staring at the girl with a completely different expression with the same face as the bride in her arms.

said with a sigh.

“Yes, I promise.”

After a while.

Only then did he seem satisfied.

Untie the arm wrapped around Rin’s neck.

Instead, the white-haired girl, perched on the slender legs, told the story while enjoying the feel of the soft cushion felt from behind.

Although he was able to convince the gods faster than expected, the process was a real mess.

Would you say that you lose respect to a deaf ear?

dubious no matter how you explain it.

Because it was never easy to get cooperation from the gods who seemed so unreliable.

Sir, who cleverly provoked the gods by selling and threatening Limon.

Ainsha danced and sang, and even promised performance rights.

If it wasn’t for the struggle of the two who know well about the gods, even a few months would not have been enough.

…If you look at the process alone, it looked more like an act of taking care of the old people’s land documents at a senior citizen’s party rather than negotiations.

In any case, the result was clear.

“All the gods of the Holy Alliance have agreed to cooperate.”

“Then what about grandma?”

“It is still the Holy League. I started working right away to get results as quickly as possible.”

“Hmm, I’m not such a sincere old woman… It seems that she’s interested in this business.”

Lin smiled.

It is not incomprehensible.

What they are preparing now is an unprecedented plan.

If successful, it was natural for Syrr to actively step forward as it could mark a milestone in human history.

“But even Shirg hag will take some time alone?”

“Nothing to worry about. The gods have already revealed.”

“timing?”

“That’s right. It is a revelation to gather all the saints and high priests of the Holy League and help us prepare for our business.”

hear that

Lin was speechless for a moment.

Even if there is a sense of being pushed out of the era, the Holy League is also the country of the gods who conquered an era.

Even if the power of one temple is weak, if you gather the priests of all the churches, you can never ignore the power.

Even if you count the saints of the Holy League, there are more than five.

It’s just that we couldn’t unite because our religions were so different.

By the way, since the age of bronze.

Gods who have not been united for hundreds of years are almost issuing a general mobilization order.

When I thought of the gathering of monks, rabbis, priests, pastors, imams, shamans, and nuns, my eyes felt dizzy.

That’s why Rin asked without realizing it.

“…What did you really do in the Holy League?”

“I worked hard. So, I commend you.”

“Yeah, really good.”

At Ainsha’s triumphant words.

Lynn nodded her head.

At this level, he went beyond taking the land documents of the elderly in the countryside and took out the loan by collateralizing his in-laws and his eighth cousin’s house.

It was really commendable.

“So how long do you think it will take?”

“We mobilized all of our Holy Alliance. Results will be available within ten days.”

“…isn’t that enough speed to be able to grind not only saints and priests, but also gods?”

“it’s okay. God is strong. It’s okay to work nonstop for about ten days until the idol is reduced to powder.”

“Well, that’s true…”

I wonder if these are the words of the priest of the Holy League.

Or the words of a slave trader whipping a slave.

It’s been a while since I put a subtle expression on the words that are hard to distinguish.

After concluding that my bride did well, Lynn looked forward.

“Anyway, if the Holy League can stretch the schedule that much, there is only one problem.”

“…You mean our side?”

“okay.”

Obtaining the cooperation of the Holy Alliance is surely a great achievement.

But only half of it now.

In order to counter the World Federation, Bahamut Company also needed to complete preparations as soon as possible.

So Rin asked seriously.

“Crazy Princess, when will you guys be ready?”

“Ahaha, unnie also asks very obvious things.”

While the aftereffects of the revolution still remain, Bahamut must have already mobilized its manpower and funds to the limit to compete with LW products.

Looking at Rin, who asks if he has the energy to make other preparations in the midst of this.

A silver-haired girl who watched the conversation between the two with a smile on her face as if she was wearing a mask.

Yekathrice put on a meaningful smile.

“Who do you think we are?”

So….

as much as it deals with time.

With the most overworked clan.

A god who has no concept of overwork at all.

After the hardships that they spent blood, sweat, time, and madness on, the Silver Dragon clan’s counterattack against the World Federation began.

…still fixated on Rin and Ainsha, ignoring the unmoving silver eyes.
