Chapter 214 - [12nd Round] Second Curse
? Confusion: There’s never been such a case before, so I can’t say for sure who stopped the disaster..
‘Trainee Teacher, if you believe in Master Mollan, you will become more beautiful. Mollan.’
“How should I deal with those hypocrites and get rid of these false rumors? There are many different ways.. Ah!”
“Drug Hero, what’s wrong with you? You have a strange expression on your face.”
“I remembered what I forgot.”
Without hesitation, I concentrated. After a while, a huge baby fell from the sky onto El Molando.
WOMP!
***
“Cr-cru-cruel..! Cru- Cruel, Cru-”
“..”
I didn’t refute anything and didn’t make excuses in front of the woman who insulted me, loudly pronouncing every syllable.
Because..
historical
“You said you would come the next day, didn’t you? You said so! Is that duration what you’d call a single day? I still believed that you would come at least in two or three days. I believed that even a spineless hero like you would have a conscience and compassion! But.. You are simply the worst in the whole universe! You’re worse than a demon!”
The Demon Lord’s daughter, Ssosia, finally got out of the mouth of Captain Fantasy and decided to release everything that had accumulated in her soul.
“Hmmm. I said I was sorry.”
“Do you think saying sorry is enough to solve all of your problems? Do you have any idea what would have happened to me if I were an ordinary woman?!”
“..”
I looked around.
The city’s territory was so huge that it wouldn’t be enough to call it even a large urban agglomeration. Angels gathered around me, Ssosia, and Captain Fantasy, who fell in the center.
But there was no feeling that we were surrounded.
“Woah! Look at this kid!”
“Oh my God! The City Hall is now under him..”
“Step aside! I’ll take it away now!”
“Wait.. It won’t budge.. How is this possible?”
Captain Fantasy has landed right in the center of El Mollando, destroying many buildings.
The angels were busy looking for the injured and dead from this emergency landing. But there was no sense in the rescue work.
“Wow..”
They could never move Captain Fantasy, who was bigger than all these buildings. However, that wasn’t the worst of their problems.
“The city is sinking lower and lower?!”
“That child is too heavy!”
“Help! Help! If this continues, we’ll fall to the ground!”
“Move! We can’t leave the city!”
Those who had at least some strength went down under the city. Spreading their wings, they tried to push the city up from below.
The city of El Molando had stopped falling, but since the angels were busy trying to save the city, they couldn’t pay attention to us.
Ssosia continued to swear.
“Are you even listening to me?”
“Yes, I’m listening.”
“Then what did I just say?”
“Uhh.. Freak.”
“You’re not listening to me at all! Freak? In that case.. I won’t just stand around doing nothing!”
She still couldn’t calm down. Hearing her words, I smiled.
I wasn’t the type of hero that would be afraid of the threats of a naked demoness who tightly squeezed her legs together as if trying to hold something in desperately.
“What can you do?”
I would let her try.
I would win anyway.
She criticized me profusely, but it was easy to understand from Ssosia’s body how exhausted she was.
With one hand, I grabbed her by the waist between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, pulling her to me.
I then fixed my other hand between the 6th and 7th cervical vertebra.
“Wait! Are you..”
Mmm..”
I covered the mouth of the noisy Sosia.
She grew quiet now.
As befitted a righteous hero, I covered her lips with my own. But her actions were impossible to ignore.
Her mean breasts rubbed against my broad chest, provoking my body and mind.
I thought that Ssosia’s strength had already left her, but she suddenly began to hit me on the back with both hands. Apparently, she wanted to say something.
But that didn’t concern me.
“Ugh?!”
Where did she get so much strength?
The reddened Ssosia sagged and parted her legs, which she had stubbornly squeezed before.
And she released the passionate desire that she had been holding back for so long.
***
“Ssosia, your counterattack exceeded all my expectations.”
“..”
“But give up your vengeful venture. Otherwise, you will spend not only three months in Captain Fantasy’s mouth, but maybe not three months, three years.. What?”
Bent over, Ssosia muttered something under her breath, but I couldn’t hear her properly.
She repeated it, louder this time.
“I won’t forgive you.”
“Ha! You still haven’t given up?”
How persistent. Plus, she didn’t die from my kiss. Even if I wrung her neck or broke her back, there wasn’t even a scratch on her.
However, I was in a giving mood. After all, I promised that I would come the next day, but I didn’t show up. Since I broke my promise, I was going to be generous even to a pitiful demon today!
“I will never be able to wash this insult off.”
“Never? I gave you a towel to dry off.”
“I am the Second Demon. From birth alone, it was already a foregone conclusion that I cannot become the First Demon. I can never become the first anywhere. On the other hand, I am the Second Demon and will never lose my second place.”
“So what?”
I didn’t know what Ssosia was trying to say. But my instincts, which received the energy of the universe, didn’t warn me of any danger.
What did she want to say?
“I have absolutely no interest in someone like you, but in all my long life, I have not only not married but have never met anyone. All because of this curse. I am doomed to be second. No man can love me more than they’d love another woman.
“Are you looking for sympathy on my part?”
“Perhaps you should first stop underestimating me. I hate to talk about age, but I can’t find a hint of manners in your harsh speech even though you’re talking with the Second Demon of this universe..”
“Let’s get straight to the point.”
There was too much chatter!
“I cannot forgive you for how you insulted me.”
“So?”
I found listening to Ssosia a little funny.
The Demon Lord’s daughter, the Second Demon.. Her titles sounded great, but they didn’t reflect in any way in her fighting skills.
Having lost, both a king and an emperor could become a slave.
“I, Ssosia, will become the second woman and the second wife of Hero Kang Han Soo. First Demon Pedonar and First Spirit Fronesis will confirm and certify this pact. Forever.”
“What..?”
For a moment, my thought processes stopped.
What was this cowardly demoness talking about?
“Do you not understand? I will explain it to the Gifted again. Henceforth, you will not be able to touch me with your finger, for I am now your second beloved woman! Of course, you can do as you like with the first woman in your life, but you won’t have anyone else. Now, do you understand the seriousness of this situation?”
“Not really. I’m not sure what you mean..”
“Then try to hit me.
She wanted it herself, so I hit her.
“And what has changed?”
“Huh?”
Shaking her head in different directions, the confused Ssosia rubbed her cheek. She then looked at the First Spirit sitting on my head.
“Impatient niece, don’t look at me with such doubt. My younger brother and I witnessed everything.”
“Then why..”
“Because of a moment’s insanity, you succumbed to emotions and made such a stupid decision. Did you think you could have a normal relationship with this guy? This Drug Hero will hit even his most beloved woman on the cheek without hesitation.”
I could hear everything, this goddamn spirit.
“Ah..”
“Now I understand. Even when I see an outstanding beauty, my heart doesn’t hesitate, but I can’t forget your name. Perhaps this is because of the curse.”
Was that it?
Maybe that was why I couldn’t forget the name Ssosia. If my assumptions were correct, then the first name that I supposedly couldn’t forget was “Lanuvel.”
I decided to intervene in the conversation.
“Hey, Addicted, Spirit. What is the conclusion of all this?”
“My niece didn’t marry because of love. The time to talk about love has passed.”
“Aunt! Wait!”
“The Second Demon is always the second. And this also applies to marriage. We can say that these are not horizontal but vertical relationships. That’s the real reason why my niece still walks as an untouched virgin.”
“Oh?”
I stared at Ssosia.
She trembled. “Everything is as my wicked aunt said, but I’m your second beloved woman. You’ll never be able to order me anything nonsensical. This is absolutely..”
“Dance.”
“This is strange! Something’s wrong!”
It was unusual to see a naked demon dancing in the city of angels.
Every time she moved, her mean chest bounced.
She was about to cry.
“The test is over. You can stop.”
Ssosia, stopping as per ordered, immediately begged the First Spirit. “My Aunt! My favorite aunt! Recognize this marriage as nullified and voided. I was out of my mind for a minute. I’ll persuade my father somehow!”
“Forgive me, my beloved niece, but I am already associated with this vile Hero. My dose is more important to me than your happiness.”
“Oh no..”
Honestly, I couldn’t understand this.
How could such a clever demon who developed this system make such a mistake?
The First Spirit, reading my thoughts, explained.
“This is all because of the First Hero. It is said that he loved all his wives equally. Therefore, no matter what the wives did, the condescending Hero forgave everything. Although in the end, he became disillusioned with all the wives and ran away.”
“In other words, she thought I was the same?”
“I suppose so. Ask her if you’re in doubt.”
“Hey, did you hear my question? Speak.”
Hearing my demand, Ssosia opened her mouth, which she had previously kept shut.
“N-no.. After considering various options for the development of events, I concluded that you’d become a slave to your love for me in the end through this. After getting rid of your first love and declaring her missing, only I will remain by your side.”
“Whew..”
I whistled.
“As my spoiled aunt said, I took into account the situation with the First Hero, but my sad ending still remained somewhat similar.. Please forgive me! Just don’t force me to do anything strange!”
“Okay.”
“Are you telling me the truth?”
“If you don’t believe me, would you like to dance instead?”
“N-no.”
Ssosia looked at me doubtfully.
I pretended to leave those thoughts behind, but her “Second Curse” took over my mind.
I realized this because of the situation around me.
The roosters glanced sideways at the naked body of Ssosia. It didn’t bother me in any way before, but after her curse was applied to me, it began to hurt me.
Regardless, Ssosia shouldn’t be aware of it.
The easiest way for me to deal with this was to tell her to get dressed now, but it might look like I was worried about her.
But then what should I do?
There was only one way left.
Instead of taking care of her, I should just remove the audience.
At zoos, when it was closing time, they kicked out visitors instead of the animals. So there was nothing strange about what I was going to do.
“As Emperor of the Holy Mollan Empire, I warn all the chickens: from this day forth, this city will be annexed by the Holy Mollan Empire! If anyone disagrees, raise your head, and I shall immediately chop them off! Otherwise, sit quietly.”
“Woah.”
Captain Fantasy shook his booty. Every time he did, the angels supporting El Molando from below screamed as they tried to keep it from falling to the ground.
? Curiosity: Cadet Kang Han Soo, I’m curious. Who’s the first woman?
