Fuck! Dot
! Shit! Dot

“This is so… Why is this…”
Dacia distanced herself from me, turned around, and patted her cheek. If you don’t do that, it’s like it’s very awkward.
While she was soothing her cheek like that, I also had something else to soothe.
‘Say hat!!!’
It is blatant to ask why the two of them suddenly agreed to go see a play together. I patted my mother and said,
“Wouldn’t your mother go with you anyway?”
‘Hat killed…?!’
“Come to think of it…?!” my mother muttered and asked me with a slightly softened tone.
‘… killed?’
Ask if you like it. I smiled at the very direct yet cautious question.
Do you like Dacia? I don’t like it.
How could he hate a woman so pretty when he follows her around like that? If you are a single man, you will quickly develop affection that no one else has.
But do I love Dacia? that was another matter.
to be honest. To be very, very honest, I was very afraid.
that you love someone
The man who first saved me. Santos. I respected him and loved him very much. Not love in the rational sense, but ‘love’ in the pure sense.
But he turned into a piece of meat because of me. Because of the Riverkell I saved.
I sometimes have these thoughts.
Could it be that Sanctus died because I avoided the task I had to accomplish as a ‘priest of corruption’?
Wouldn’t ‘this world’ want me to resurrect the ‘Mother of Corruption’ intact? So, whenever I sit down and try to settle somewhere, won’t they push me away, even if it means destroying my precious things?
If this world was a game in the first place, at least so far, if it was a world where I was the ‘main character’ of the game, it was possible enough.
Because the main character was a being who had to see the ‘end’ of this game from ancient times.
The luxury of settling down and living somewhere was a luxury only allowed to those who saw the game’s ‘ending’.
So I was afraid and afraid again. What makes someone love.
A relationship that is obviously precious, but to the point where you won’t be shocked if you lose it one day. A relationship that I can give up without regret when this world takes that relationship as a hostage and pushes me against my back.
To maintain such a relationship, I chose a pathologically celibate life. Fortunately, this body was a sophisticated tool that obeyed reason very well, so it was not swayed by fleeting lust like other humans.
But these days. Now that my strength is getting stronger day by day. To be honest, there were times when I wondered if it would be okay to create such a close relationship.
Even if it’s not even a relationship that loves each other. A relationship where you can trust a little more and confide in yourself.
I answered my mother in a soft voice.
“I always put my mother first, above all else.”
It was as sincere as he said. Even if it is an emotion that may have been injected into my head by my mother herself.
‘killing…!’
While the moved mother trembled and soaked in the afterglow, Dakia, who had finally won the battle against her own cheeks, approached me with her cheeks slightly burning. She didn’t even dare to make eye contact with me, only looking at my chest as she spoke cautiously.
“Because the clothes you’re wearing right now don’t suit you to go to a play…” ”
Yes?”
A word that came out of nowhere. Dacia, realizing her mistake, quickly shouted.
“Oh I’ll buy you clothes!!! Directly with my own money!!! So why don’t you go shopping for clothes together today!!!”
I replied with a smile at the high-pitched voice.
“great.”
Dakia’s face brightened at my unhesitating acceptance.
“Really?!”
“Is there any reason for me to pretend that I am going out with you? I’m really looking forward to the new clothes the princess will buy for me.”
Yes, I’m taking a step like this. A little, a little bit closer than a simple colleague.
Dacia looked up at me with sparkling golden eyes and spoke vigorously.
“Just trust me and follow me! There is a tailor who delivers clothes to Irmelga! He makes really good clothes!”
I’m very sorry for Dacia, but I wanted to know how this ‘world’ would react to her if I tried to get a little closer to someone like this.
Will she also face a miserable end like Santos?
Or will I continue to watch her as long as I continue to unseal my mother as the ‘priest of corruption’?
Of course, I was going to protect her as much as possible no matter what happened in the future, but if Dakia gets even a little ‘fatal wound’ from the danger I’ve brought.
I will not build a relationship beyond a certain line with anyone until I finish my task as the ‘Priest of Corruption’.
so promised
“Priest Marnak…?”
“yes?”
A voice full of worries. Dacia looked up at me and asked cautiously. His golden eyes twinkled with worry.
“Where are you sick? Would you like to go back and rest today?”
I shook my head softly and answered.
“no. You’re lost in thought for a moment.”
“which…?”
I answered her question with a playful smile.
“As long as this play is two days away, no matter how expensive you pay, you will have no choice but to repair and wear the ready-made item in the end. The person who supplies clothes to Irmelga seems to be specialized in custom-made products.”
“oh?!”
When Dacia realized what she had overlooked, she replied with a slight blush as if she was ashamed.
“Anyway, let’s go! You never know!”
“So be it…”
While answering Dacia, I found a man who was about to fall down on the roadside and was picked up by a man standing behind him. Long, bright yellow hair and a somewhat familiar face.
I said, extending my finger toward the dragon prince.
“Would you like to take a look over there?”
“oh…?”
The two tickets lying around on the floor nearby were identical to the one in my hand. I soon realized what the Dragon Prince had in mind for coming here. And it was the same with Dacia. She grabbed my wrist and quickly led me in the opposite direction from where the Dragon Prince was. I surrendered to her guidance and asked.
“Is the clothing store this way?”
“no. It’s quite the opposite. I thought it would be much better to go back a little bit than to go that way and get entangled with that dragon prince.”
Dakia slightly turned her head to look at my face and said as if passing by.
“I really don’t have a penny of interest in that dragon kingdom prince.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. Seriously!”
As I walked along with Dakia, I glanced back one more time.
For some reason, it seemed as if a cry filled with resentment came from behind.
Of course, no matter how much I think about it, I haven’t done anything wrong.

“Hmm…”
Dacia examined my attire with a very profound expression. Now I was wearing a cloak that covered part of my upper body over one shoulder of a black robe.
‘Kill Murder…’
While she was changing her clothes, she left her mother’s hand in Dakia’s hand for a while. My mother judged my clothes, displaying her ability to convey her voice to the fullest, even if she had been away for a while.
Dacia looked at my outfit with a very serious look and slowly opened her mouth.
“The clothes are the best out of all the ones I’ve worn so far, but it’s a little, very, very lacking in something…”
‘Murder…’
Mother’s reply, agreeing. Dacia said to Tyler, a middle-aged man standing next to me.
“Do you have some brooches or accessories?”
“I have something prepared.”
With a very graceful gesture, Tyler directed the woman waiting next to her to get something.
To be honest, I felt a little awkward wearing clothes that were too tight like this, as I always wore only baggy priestly clothes or had my top uncovered.
Besides, I’ve already changed dozens of clothes here. I wondered if I was going to follow you.
A moment later, when a woman approached and put a brooch with a large blue jewel on my chest, Dakia nodded with satisfaction.
“Now I’m less bored and just right!”
‘Kill kill!’
Praise for knowing how to see something. Dacia said lightly to Tyler.
“Please wear that outfit. Can you mend the part that doesn’t fit a little by tomorrow? I have to wear it in two days.”
“yes. Since this is a request from the princess, we will take care of it with the highest priority.”
“Oh and yes.”
Dakia rummaged through the pile of clothes I had taken off and pointed out a few clothes.
“This outfit and this outfit. Everything was okay, so I’ll live with everything. Please repair all of these to fit the body of Priest Marnak. Oh, you don’t have to rush these things, so you can do it slowly.”
‘killing?!’
The mother burst into exclamation in surprise at Dakia’s bold consumption. I asked, stroking the collar that was clinging to me for no reason.
“Aren’t you spending too much?”
Dacia shrugged her shoulders and replied as if nothing was wrong.
“Do not worry. That’s a lot of money.”
To be honest, it was a little cool. When will I be able to say that I have a lot of money confidently like that? It seems that it will be impossible for a while because the poverty is so severely absorbed in the body.
I entered the dressing room, took off my clothes, changed into my original clothes, and put my mother’s and my mother’s hands back into my breast pockets. I asked her once again as we left the clothing store with Dakia.
“Are you really okay? It seems like you’ve been spending a lot of money lately…”
Daeyoung, who has only four in the Northern Kingdom, paid the same amount of gold as his weight to Carmen and me, and a little less but enough money to Sagittarius. Even as the Lord’s daughter, it was by no means a light expense.
Dakia waved her hand as if to say not to worry and replied indifferently.
“I really don’t mind. Because…”
she asked me, looking around.
“Do you know that it is the Locles corps?”
“I have heard. Isn’t that the name of a famous guild on the northern side of the Empire?”
In response to my answer, Dacia whispered in my ear in a small voice.
“I actually have a little bit of a share there. When the Locles upper house was still small, I poured all my money into it and made a small investment.”
“yes?”
Dakia, who had separated from me, smiled and said,
“Could it be that Priest Marnak thought that I returned here without any countermeasures? I tried to aim for the position of head of the family with my ‘golden’.”
Glittering golden eyes. Dacia was indeed a woman who might have melted gold and put it in her eyes.
While I was startled, Dakia continued talking as if nothing was wrong.
“Of course, this is a secret that only I know, so my brother and father don’t know. In addition, it takes a while to convert my property into cash because the Locles Merchant mainly operates between the North and South Empires.”
She grabbed my wrist and said lightly.
“So don’t worry about the situation in my money bag and enjoy it comfortably. Let’s go to dinner soon. I have a restaurant reservation for you!”
“It must be an expensive place, too, right?”
“Ah, it’s okay. Priest Marnak told me not to worry about money. I will buy them all! Go quickly.”
I was drawn to Dacia and had dinner at the most expensive restaurant in Beatus. Thanks to the form of providing a separate room for each individual, the mother could also eat together.
‘killing! killing! I’m sorry!!!’
My mother really enjoyed the meal to the fullest, pushing the food to the full. Dakia ordered food and fed her until her real mother’s stomach burst.
I thought Dacia was going to use this opportunity to assassinate my mother with expensive food. really.
‘ㅅ…a…r…h…s…’
Saying that she couldn’t eat any more, the mother patted her swollen stomach and slumped on the chair. Dacia looked at her mother with a gaze full of affection, as if such a figure was also very cute. I thanked Dacia.
“Thanks to you, I ate really well.”
In the first place, Dakia knew that I had no taste, and it was clear that she had brought me to such a place to treat my mother to food.
Dacia just answered me with a quiet smile.
“The play in two days. I’m really looking forward to it.”

– Ah ah ah ah ah ah ! ! !
The moment ‘Adora’ on the stage opened her mouth, I quickly covered Dakia’s ears and held her in my arms, raising the door of corruption to the limit.
spectators. The heads of important people from all walks of life in Beatus exploded like fireworks one after another from the front row.
Scattered blood and flesh.
Blood flowed from my ears with the feeling of something being torn.
sunken silence. The sound was no longer heard.
After a while, when my hearing finished playing.
There were only three people alive in the theater.
Me and Dakia. And singer ‘Adora’.
A woman with white, white hair was standing up and talking to me with sparkling eyes as if she was having a lot of fun.
“Did you manage to live?”
