Breaking Up With the Heroine in an Otome Game - Breaking Up With the Heroine in an Otome Game chapter 100

Church.

Since ancient times, the church has been a symbol of power.

As the historian Kenneth Laturet said, ‘In terms of influence, there is no single force in human history that has had as much influence as the church.’ Wasn’t that what he said?

To protect the lost sheep from the existence of Lee Hyeong and the maliciousness that lurked, the church became a shepherd itself, growing in power, wealth, and fame.

Standing on the rock above the tumultuous world, the church was the guardian of humanity and the blade.

In order to survive various threats, the church established an exorcism agency specializing in driving out evil, and among them, the most prominent was the execution force.

And…

“Hello, Lee Jinhyuk. Nice to meet you like this.”

“Yes, nice to meet you too.”

“hehehe. I’m Cynthia Gwyn. Call me Cynthia comfortably.

The woman welcoming me inside the noon church is none other than Cynthia, a former commander of the execution force and a hero proud of England.

A genius who became a high ranker in his late twenties.

Compared to the prime of Hong Da-ye, who was mentioned as a candidate for the top 10 in the past, there may be a slight difference, but it is clear that Cynthia is stronger than the current Hong Da-ye.

Perhaps Cynthia alone could have defeated the Black Hand Long-Armed Monkey and the Minotaur who appeared in the academy?

‘How would she compare to the current Yoo Da-hee.’

At the current point after the end of the first semester final exam, Yoo Da-hee’s abilities have probably grown to the level of a high ranker.

Yudahee, who was like a growth-type chicken character, grew exponentially as each day passed.

When comparing Yudahee to Shinsia?

According to the world setting, Korean high-rankers are slightly stronger than high-rankers from other countries.

However, considering experience, skill, strength, etc., it is still believed that Shinsia has the upper hand.

Comparing Yudahee, who has just reached high-ranker level, with Shinsia, who has been active as a high-ranker for several years, is simply absurd.

But that won’t last long either.

If we think about it based on the game’s content, Yudahee will show insane growth until she becomes a single-ranker.

I want to catch her before she grows even more…

But it’s a bit difficult for now.

That’s why I plan to gradually strategize starting from Yudahee’s weak points.

“You speak Korean well.”

“Well, it’s just basic, you know, basic.”

Shinsia flicked her fingers as if it was nothing special.

She seemed to have a friendly and lively personality, just as I had known.

She was loyal, but subtly stubborn, with a determined nature to always do what she wanted to do.

“Shinsia, you can speak comfortably. You’re older than me.”

“Oh, then should I? Since I came to Korea, I should follow Korean culture~”

Shinsia nodded as if she had been waiting for that.

She briefly scratched her chin, as if thinking, “Hmm~.”

For a moment, she clearly scanned my face.

“This seems fine personality-wise, and her face, well, not bad.”

“What?”

Why is this woman saying something out of the blue?

“Cynthia.”

“Ugh.”

At that moment.

“By any chance, Cynthia didn’t say anything rude, did she?”

Roxanne revealed herself from inside.

Approaching with neat steps, gently sweeping her strawberry blonde hair, she was wearing a priestess uniform, a sight previously seen only in the game’s illustrations.

A clean, white priestess robe overall?

It truly brought to mind a scene from the game, making the experience all the more vivid.

No wonder, considering the corrupted Roxanne stained the robe with malice, threatening the protagonist’s party.

“Oh my, why are you staring so intently?”

“Ah.”

Suddenly, Cynthia’s voice tapped my ears.

I shook my head slightly to break free from my reverie.

As I glanced, Cynthia was giggling with her lips slightly covered, like a mischievous girl.

“I get it. Our Roxanne is pretty, isn’t she?”

“What? Uh, well….”

It was a slightly mischievous question.

Usually, a teenage boy would hesitate a little.

But as someone who had regained memories from a past life, I was not just an ordinary teenager. I possessed the audacity to openly express my admiration for beauty.

“Yes. Rock San-nyu is pretty, isn’t she?”

“hehehe.”

“Regardless, it was quite rude of me to keep staring at you.”

I continued speaking while looking at Rock San-nyu.

“It was a bit fascinating to see Rock San-nyu in a priest’s robe for the first time. Sorry, Rock San-nyu.”

“Oh, no, it’s okay.”

“Indeed, it must be fascinating to see Rock San-nyu wearing a priest’s robe when you’re used to seeing her in the academy uniform every day.”

Soon enough, Cynthia quietly lifted the corners of her mouth and started blabbering nonsense.

“I heard that guys have fantasies about priest robes. Looking at Rock San-nyu in a pristine white priest’s robe might evoke some possessive emotions…”

“Cynthia Lu Gwynn.”

When Rock San-nyu softly uttered Cynthia’s full name, Cynthia made a face and laughed awkwardly.

Regardless of the circumstances, calling someone by their full name was not a good sign.

“Sorry, Rock San-nyu, don’t be so scary with your stern expression.”

“…We have guests. Please show a little more courtesy.”

“Okay, okay. I’ll go check if the food is ready, so you can guide them to the dining table.”

With those words, Cynthia disappeared into the distance.

Rock San-nyu sighed softly as she looked in the direction Cynthia had vanished.

High-ranker and executor, he seemed to be troubled by the somewhat lighthearted behavior and actions that did not fit his position.

“I’m sorry. Cynthia has a mischievous personality….”

“No, she seems like a good person. It was fun.”

Although she may not seem trustworthy due to her usual behavior, Cynthia was a woman who got things done.

If a crisis were to occur, she would be a reliable shield to protect Rosanne.

“Well then, this way.”

Rosanne slowly moved her steps and began to guide me.

“The dining area is being used by others… I’ll guide you to the reception room.”

“I hope I’m not taking up busy people’s time for nothing.”

“No, it’s okay. I’ve had less work these days.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

Judging by the faint dark circles under her eyes, it seems like she stays up during the night often?

“Oh, by the way, did you hear about the incident involving Seong Yura?”

“….Yes.”

Rosanne momentarily stopped.

“I heard she was attacked during the escort.”

“….”

The murder of Seong Yura.

Not only her, but everyone in the escort vehicle met their demise.

The Republic of Korea was buzzing with talk of daring crimes, such as attacking and killing the occupants of a transport vehicle.

However, they had yet to find any leads on the culprit.

“I wonder if we’re reaping what we’ve sown…?”

Roxanne’s expression looked complex.

Though she had tormented and harmed countless people, including Roxanne herself, it was only natural for her to feel a bit conflicted, having known her for a long time.

“After death, one would think it falls under divine jurisdiction, but Seong Yura should have paid the price in this world.”

Roxanne had a slightly bewildered look on her face.

I didn’t mention Seong Yura’s death just to disturb Roxanne’s state of mind.

Could it be considered a kind of buildup for the future?

A buildup to mention the villainous organization that caused Seong Yura’s death.

“Well, there’s no need to mention it now, but once we finish our meal, maybe I should bring it up.”

“Oh, we’ve arrived. This is it.”

Suddenly, we arrived at the reception room.

The interior of the reception room was spacious enough to accommodate several people, and the clean interior design stood out.

There was a plush, comfortable chair along with a table placed in the center.

Roxanne led me towards the chairs.

“If you sit here and wait, the meal will be ready soon…”

– Knock, knock.

We immediately heard the sound of someone knocking on the door.

There was a sense of excitement coming from outside.

“Room service is here~. May I come in?”

“Yes, Cynthia.”

Without waiting for a response, Cynthia forcefully swung the door open, carrying a variety of dishes on a tray.

…By the way, Cynthia delivering food herself?

Considering her power, authority, social status, and fame, it seemed absurd.

Cynthia was certainly not in a position to do such trivial tasks.

Even if Cynthia wasn’t known for her authoritative personality, delivering food personally was too much.

“It’s traditional British cuisine, a delightful meal for both of us.”

“British cuisine?”

“Oh, did you think it would taste bad just because it’s British food?”

Cynthia suddenly went off on her own tangent.

“That’s all prejudice, prejudice. Stop the British food hate!”

“Oh, yes….”

No, I just found British cuisine interesting and wanted to mention it.

“Anyway, I’ll enjoy it. Thank you for the invitation, Cynthia, and Roxanne.”

“Yes.”

I glanced over the table casually.

Steak and kidney pie, roasted beef, Yorkshire pudding, bangers and mash, beef Wellington, fish and chips, and more.

Did they bring everything they had?

Anyway, we had a leisurely meal together.

The food was tastier than expected. The seasoning seemed just right.

We exchanged small talk and chatted about trivial things, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

How much time had passed?

As the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed, I discreetly observed Roxanne. Is it time to try my luck now?

“Hey, Roxanne.”

“Yes, what is it?”

“Well, that…”

I extended the end of my sentence, glancing at Cynthia, who had been standing awkwardly as my escort.

Since I had planned to reveal some personal matters to a certain extent, I couldn’t speak properly with Cynthia around.

“There’s something we need to discuss alone.”

“Alone?”

“Yeah, it’s something important.”

Roxanne tilted her head slightly.

Suddenly, she glanced behind and seemed to remember something, looking at Cynthia who was making a fuss with an “Oh my, oh my” expression.

At that moment, Roxanne’s eyes lowered with a slightly awkward expression.

“Is it something difficult to say in front of Cynthia…?”

“It might be a little awkward.”

“Oh, I see.”

Roxanne looked a bit embarrassed and uneasy.

Well, she had come all the way as an invitee, and since it was a matter of importance that required privacy, Roxanne couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy in this situation.

It’s a form of compensation, and even though it might be a security issue, refusing this kind of request would be difficult for Roxanne’s character.

“Oh, I didn’t realize that. Well then, I’ll go out… hehehe.”

“Ah, S-Synthia?”

Despite Roxanne’s slightly flustered call, Synthia didn’t pay attention and chuckled as she quickly went out the door.

Roxanne was at a loss, sneakily glancing at my face.

“Ah, um…”

“Did I make an unreasonable request? Well, you are a candidate for saintess. You need to be cautious of security and controversies, considering your important position.”

After the fall of Seong Yu-ra, the factions began to gather around Roxanne once again, so the rumor of her being a saintess candidate inevitably spread to the academy.

It had only been a few months, but a considerable number of people were already under Roxanne’s command.

Not only giants like Synthia, but also people from politics, business, and heroes were captivated by Roxanne.

It was only fitting for her to rapidly build her influence as the future corrupted saintess.

It seemed she wasn’t just a character who appeared as a late-game boss.

It was almost like… an extraordinary charm, akin to supernatural abilities?

It’s somewhat understandable when you think about the fanatics who followed Roxanne when she fell in the game.

“No, it’s fine with just the two of us…”

“Yeah.”

“From my perspective… I mean… it’s difficult to accept Jinhyeok’s feelings…”

“Hmm?”

I couldn’t help but feel puzzled as Roxanne looked at me apologetically.

Wait, what is she saying?

“Of course, Jinhyuk is quite a charming man, but I… “

“Hold on, what are you talking about, Roxanne?”

I expressed my confusion towards Roxanne.

“No, I was just talking about the organization that caused Seyoung’s death, suddenly what?”

“…Yes?”

“Did you, by any chance, think I was going to confess?”

“Well, um, yes, that’s… “

Suddenly, *gasps*.

Roxanne’s face turned as red as a ripe persimmon.
