My Friend’s Harem Is Obsessed With Me - My Friend’s Harem Is Obsessed With Me chapter 52

53. campfire

Could it be because no one died?

Except for the messy festival stalls and the academy garden, there was actually no major damage.

It’s just that I made a pretty big fire to clean up the corpses of bugs and it turned out to be like a campfire late at night.

“Oh, what does it smell like?”

“Isn’t that because they burned bugs?”

Tana and Eve were next to each other to bake hotcakes and squatted to eat, and I also picked up a bite to eat.

“I hate one bite!”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t eat it?”

“Is that so?”

Staring blankly at the flames of the campfire, I sighed involuntarily. My mind wandered so much that I couldn’t even remember what I had said earlier.

Tana and Eve are both whispering to each other, muttering what’s going on, but I’m sorry, but I can hear them all.

Eris, who had gone away after meeting the dean, disappeared.

I don’t know if I’m still talking to the dean, but it’s already been half a day, so I can’t stand my lips twitching because I want to talk.

‘Isn’t it just going away?’

Even if I can’t remember my past life, I thought I might be able to say a word to you as a comrade who killed Abiel together.

As if not to worry, a blonde elf approached from the far end with the soot from the campfire.

Despite her overwhelming appearance and unusual atmosphere, the surrounding students looked at her, but Eris approached me without even paying attention to the others.

“uh? It’s not blonde, it’s black, right?”

“Oh, it was a wig earlier.”

When I answered by gently touching my hair, Eris smiled and snorted.

“That suits you better.”

I’m just embarrassed

It’s a relief that the campfire was lit so I couldn’t see his face.

“You worked really hard today, Daniel. It seems to have been a fairly strong demon, but it was amazing by itself.”

Eris, who called me by my first name rather than Sherpa, gave me a slight smile, both awkward and happy.

“okay, thanks. You worked really hard today too.”

I was the same as before, thinking that I should talk about this and that when we meet, but when I met Eris, my hair turned white.

Was he really this pretty?

It’s been a while since I’ve seen her, but she looked pretty as if she was bewitched by something.

Tana and Eve mumbled over the hot cakes and said, “Wow, it’s a lot of fun.” “I’m the best in real life, but at the festival, I get the attention of the elves?” He started saying the same strange things.

“I’m sorry about the misunderstanding earlier. I came to meet the person chosen by the god Helios, and strangely, I feel that way from you.”

“Well, it could be misunderstood.”

“…Hey, but do you normally talk like that?”

Eris asked me with a pouty expression.

It was a habit in the past, so it came out naturally, but I didn’t really think about withdrawing.

Because I wanted to show that I remembered her like this.

When she shrugged her shoulders and didn’t bother to answer, Eris let out a sigh and nodded.

“Okay, since you’ve shown bravery and conviction to match today, I’ll allow you to speak casually as a way of acknowledging you.”

“thank you.”

“Rather than that, I’m looking for the person chosen by the Helios I just mentioned. Can you help me? It must be someone who feels as hot as the sun or as warm as the sunlight.”

“……”

I think of one person, but I don’t want to introduce him even if he dies.

I tried to answer that I don’t know, but Tana tilted her head and replied.

“Ares?”

“Ah, I was thinking of Ares too.”

“Is she the sun? sunlight?”

When I ask a question, the two of them answer honestly.

“Well, isn’t it similar?”

“I hate the sun. It hurts my eyes just looking at it.”

At the words of Eve, who is a genuine householder and a reader, Eris suddenly turns her head and asks.

“Ares? Who is it?”

“It’s just passing by, boy.”

Ares and his gang passing in front of us.

The number was a bit small to be called a gang, but Sen was resting with Lin in the health room due to an injury.

In the end, only Arni Duratan and Elysee remained on either side.

Ares scratched the back of his head at the sound calling him and looked this way.

The strange pattern on the right hand of Ares caught my eye.

As far as I know, Ares didn’t have a pattern like that, I remember, but as soon as Eris saw it, she nodded her head broadly.

“Right! That is the pattern chosen by Helios…”

After checking Ares’ face, Eris’s expression becomes more and more strange.

“Do you know about this pattern?”

Naturally, Ares noticed that it was about the pattern on the back of his hand and tried to ask something, but Eris covered her mouth and took a step back.

“Hey, I’m sorry, but could you please stop coming closer?”

With a disgusted look on her face, Eris asked Ares politely but sharply.

“Yes?”

“Because I hate being in the same room as the person I played the role of.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“Looking at the pattern on the back of your hand, you’re right… Haa, you were really chosen by Helios? You who shook off the hand of the woman who begged for help and ran away alone?”

Ares’ face turned red in an instant.

Arni and Elise looked at Ares with a puzzled expression, but he hurriedly opened his mouth.

“Yeah, there was nothing I could do about it at the time! Because I can’t win by fighting that demon…!”

“Who told you to win?”

Eris snorted.

“If you had the power of Helios, you would have been able to escape with that girl, wouldn’t you?”

“Ha, but!”

“If Daniel were a little late, the girl wouldn’t be alive now.”

“……!”

I’m glad the students around me didn’t know that the girl was Adrina, but if I had known that she was Adrina, it would have hurt her image quite a bit.

However, Eris did not miss and gave an extra hit.

“Your name was Adrina? Even if that girl is dead, you can’t say you killed it. But you gave up a life that could have been saved.”

“What the hell you don’t know!”

“I was watching, because I have pretty good eyes.”

Eris raised her finger and pointed at her own blue eyes. A pattern appears in the pupils momentarily, then disappears again.

Eris smiled coldly and replied to Ares, who noticed that it was a pattern similar to the one on the back of her hand, but from a different god.

“Even when I came here, I was watching everything through these eyes. I’ll be honest, I don’t know what kind of plans Helios has in store for you, but its power is too much for you right now.”

“……”

“Please, use the power appropriate for your vessel.”

“No, rather, I will actively use this power.”

Ares clenched his fists and glared at Eris clearly.

“If I had been stronger, I would have gone to face the Beast without abandoning her in that situation. Faith comes from strong power. Belief without ability is simply a guest.”

“really……”

Eris pointed at Ares with completely chilled eyes.

“It is a disgusting idea. Beliefs built up with strong power eventually belong to the strong. The beliefs created that way are self-centered and arrogant. After all, you can’t be a vessel to have that power.”

Eris gently puts her hand on my shoulder.

“You are on the opposite line from Daniel. Whereas he has the power, but the convictions of the lowly. You covet the beliefs of the strong even though you have no strength.”

“Is this saying that I am worse than this guy?”

Ares’ voice is low as if he touched something he shouldn’t have touched.

To the point where Arni Duratan and Elysee, who were on either side, fell slightly to the side in embarrassment.

Ares was filled with anger, but Eris nodded without hesitation.

“Isn’t that obvious?”

A light welled up from the engraving on the back of Ares’ hand, and a fist was thrown out.

In addition to the tremendous speed, it contained intense destructive power that could not be seen as a simple fist, and I tried to react in a hurry.

Coudantang.

Eris is the one who holds the title of ‘Keeper of Yggdrasil’, which is given only to the strongest elves among elves who have lived for centuries.

In a word, even Ares, a transfer student from Aios Academy Storm, was no match for her.

Eris stepped on the wrist of his right hand, which had collapsed on the floor before he knew it, and looked down.

“Little boy, get your mind right. I came to teach you how to handle the power of Helios, but besides that, I also came to punish you if the god’s power fell to the evil one.”

Ares’s face wrinkled at each and every word of Eris, which was thick with flesh.

“I’m still young, so I’m going to pass this time, but I’m telling you to act straight.”

Eris takes her foot off and beckons her to get off immediately.

In the end, Ares shook his clothes and swallowed his anger and turned away, and Arni Duratan and Elise, who were with him, followed Ares with an awkward expression.

‘If I went, I would only scratch my pride more.’

There were also insults from Eris, but it is probably the biggest shame for Ares that there are so many people around.

‘Well, I was refreshing and good.’

My wife is the best!

“Kuhm.”

I thought to myself, but I was embarrassed for nothing, so when I coughed, Eris turned and looked at me.

“I really don’t know why Helios chose such a man. Ha, this is something we need to think about.”

“Are you really going to punish Ares if you don’t deserve it?”

“Of course, he is the man chosen by Helios, who appeared for the first time in centuries, but if he doesn’t deserve that, he should be kicked out. It is terrible to abuse that power and become a villain.”

I wondered if I had just insulted such a person like that, but Eris turned around with a smile that had no regrets at all.

“It’s a campfire, it’s beautiful. If we do this, big things happen.”

“That’s right, it’s a forest.”

“It would have been more tasteful if it hadn’t been for burning insects.”

“Well, this isn’t bad either.”

“That’s right.”

We looked at the flames burning together as we chatted in such small whispers.
