I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party - I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party chapter 200

200 – Side Story 2. The Story After, Irina (3)

The story afterward, Irina (3)

“Can I ask you something? Why do you take a bath with your clothes on?”

“Are you disappointed that you’re not naked?”

“No, it’s more obscene.”

“oh…….”

Irina flinches in surprise and raises her arms to cover herself.

The face was flushed and the body was in a hunched position.

Why is it that I don’t know that each and every one of those gestures is lewd?

If he did it knowingly, there would be no better player. However, judging from the reaction, it seems that is not the case.

Doesn’t it make sense for you to be so flustered when you brought me here to seduce me in the first place?

“Yeah… … . Come to think of it, it wasn’t the right time to bring this up.”

“Was it important?”

“No… … . Haa… … . Yes, it was something important to me. I thought it was a time when we could be alone, so I got ahead of myself. That’s right. I tried to seduce Mr. Jim.”

Irina laughed self-deprecatingly.

A look of being huddled together somewhere.

She raises her slender arms to cover her ample chest, but the flesh color visible through her thin clothes is provocative.

No, that’s not what I meant.

This is driving me crazy… … .

Wouldn’t it have been much better if she were naked? She looks so visible and yet so invisible that I can’t help but keep looking at her.

As a result, you end up focusing all your energy on your vision, which naturally leads to problems with your hearing and thinking skills.

“Then let’s talk about this later.”

Irina sighed and emerged from the lake.

Her wet clothes clung to her with every step she took, revealing the lines of her body.

Yeah, you said you’d talk about it later, so I guess it’s okay to keep focusing?

“Then shall we go back now?”

Irina just walked out of the lake and passed me.

“……uh?”

Weren’t you trying to seduce me?

Did I say something to offend you? No, but since I was trying to seduce you, shouldn’t you consider calling me dirty as a compliment?

Or was it something so important? Why did you say it like that? Isn’t that the bigger problem?

All kinds of questions and resentment swirl around in my head and then disappear.

And then there was only one conclusion.

“yes…….”

Yeah, I guess it’s my fault.

If you don’t know what’s going on when the other person is angry, it’s easier to think that there might be a problem with you.

***

When I came back, the atmosphere was the worst. No, the atmosphere between Irina and me wasn’t that bad.

I thought I had offended her, but Irina, who had returned to the carriage, was avoiding my gaze with the aforementioned expression.

It was clear that at least some feelings of shame were taking over.

It might be uncomfortable for her , but I don’t care because I can see Irina’s cute appearance like that.

Wouldn’t it be better to just focus on the conversation we had planned to have later?

Yeah, so the atmosphere between Irina and me was fine.

If there’s a problem…….

“Even so, isn’t it too early for you to come back?”

“Is that not working well?”

“Oh! Now that I think about it, the Bible also says that we resist all temptations, so maybe that’s what it meant… … .”

“This could be a new interpretation. Maybe an extreme monk could emerge.”

“Maybe it just ended too quickly?”

“omg?!”

The problem is that my public image has been shattered.

No, that’s not me.

It’s not that it doesn’t stand, but it’s not that fast either.

Who would have thought that when I came back right after leaving, it would be in this form… … .

Rather, isn’t the basic perception of me a bit strange?

In this case, you should usually assume that he came back without any problems, right?

It’s even in the Bible!

I resisted all temptations!

I think this might be a problem with the image Irina has created.

A relationship where you can’t possibly think that they went and didn’t do anything.

Irina must have created that kind of reputation for having a good marriage.

That’s obvious. Otherwise it can’t be done.

I spent the night wide awake in such a disturbing mood.

The next day we were able to arrive at the Demon King’s Castle.

During that time, Irina did nothing and said nothing.

“Captured… … No, you have returned. Your Majesty the Demon King.”

“Ah, yes… … . I’m back. Release. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Oh, no. It wasn’t that hard… … .”

And of course, as expected, Lilith welcomed us.

Fortunately, there was no one else there.

Garnet, Tina, and even Milia.

It seems like the people who are uncomfortable with seeing me right now haven’t come back yet. And that means that the awkwardness is revealed in Liris’s attitude here at the same time.

“Mr. Jim.”

“… … .”

Irina spoke softly with a bright smile on her face.

“When on earth did that happen?”

“… … I’ll explain it later.”

“No, I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to hear about the relationship you had with other women… … .”

Irina looked at Lilith with empty eyes, but then nodded slightly.

Fortunately, it looks like it’ll just pass.

The reaction was just absurd, but it didn’t seem like he was angry.

“Then I will guide you to the place where the priests and knights will be staying. Lady Liris is the secretary, but I am also the hostess of this place.”

No, maybe a little bit?

Despite the friendly tone of voice, there is a subtle restraint in his words.

An expression that says that Liris is the secretary and she is the landlady of this place.

In some ways, it’s not wrong, but it clearly divides the hierarchy.

Isn’t Lilith also the mistress of this Demon King’s castle?

And since she was also a member of the Demon King’s Army’s Operations Staff, there’s no way she wouldn’t notice this level of provocation.

So how did Lilith react to Irina’s provocation?

“Yes, that’s right.”

Lilith did nothing in response. And that was the best she could do.

From noble mtl dot nete

Because she already has it.

It showed that this level of provocation is nothing.

“Then I will take care of Lord Belphegor for the time being.”

“… … .”

But, it seems like the future is scary.

It seemed that Lilith was afraid of Irina’s retaliation and was planning to stick close to Belphegor, the strongest force capable of protecting her.

“……is it so.”

Irina laughed at his arrogant behavior.

In a way, it also means that he doesn’t care because he will be by Belphegor’s side no matter what Irina does.

Liris took a step back while accepting Irina’s provocation.

And then there will be few people left to protect me.

If we look at the powerless side, there are Robeno and Lacrima, but… … I don’t think we should involve the two in marital problems.

I don’t know if we can simply lump this together as a marital issue.

So the conclusion was simple.

“I’ll come by later, Mr. Jim.”

That no one can stop Irina’s actions now.

***

Irina said she would come, but I don’t know what that means.

It could simply be a matter of wanting to talk about something you haven’t been able to talk about, or it could be a matter of wanting to do something you haven’t been able to do.

Or else I’ll do something I can’t even imagine.

As I waited for Irina with a half-anxious and half-expectant heart, Irina soon came to see me.

“Then, shall we start by talking about what we couldn’t talk about last night?”

“Is there another one?”

“… … If Mr. Jim listens to me seriously, I’ll think about it.”

“I will listen.”

Now that I’ve returned to the Demon King’s Castle, there won’t be any problems for me.

So I can be honest about my desires. They won’t try to imprison me like Tina or turn me into tentacles like Milia.

“Mr. Jim, I think it’s time for the Celestial Order to disappear.”

“That’s a sudden story.”

“Suddenly… … You really didn’t listen to a single word I said.”

Irina muttered in frustration. Unfortunately, I am not the type of person to lie about such things.

I really didn’t listen.

… … By the way, it seemed like a more serious story than I thought.

“With the end of this war, the empire was destroyed, and my status and that of the Celestial Spirit Church soared.”

“That’s what happened.”

“The days when only the royal family and nobles could enjoy their own fortunes due to excessive policies have disappeared, and the status of the warrior party that defeated the Demon King has risen to a level that no one can touch.”

Kill two birds with one stone.

That was the current Cheonshin sect.

Irina said she went back to the Celestial Church to find me after I escaped, and that she was fully aware of the situation.

As a result, Irina declared:

“Now, there is no need to worry about the destruction of the Cheonshin Church. The group that could suppress us with power and authority has disappeared.”

Not only did the status of the Celestial Church increase, but the tyranny of the Empire that had been oppressing them also disappeared.

The stigma of losing my god due to greed was completely erased by the fact that I purified the Demon King and the Demon World and made a pact with him.

“In that situation, the god lost his power and became a human, not a god. He became known to the world as the new Demon King, but it is certain that Mr. Jim lost his divine status.”

I was weakened. And the effects weren’t just felt in me.

“People now believe in me, not God. So it is right for the Celestial Spirit Sect to disappear.”

Irina poked fun at herself for making it so.
