Anyway, decide quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cordelia wasn’t the only one sitting under the fantastic moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were facing each other at the place where the sound of the valley river’s ripples were heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cordelia, who was almost about to cry, said as her shoulders drooped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, do we really have to do this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have to do it. You have to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cordelia’s main scenario was harsh from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to completely defend and not just hinder the Devil’s Hand’s attack on the social gathering, a holy relic, which possesses power that is incompatible with the demons, is needed – the sacred rod, Moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yellow Storm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yellow Storm answered lifelessly, Jude coughed once and took a step. He placed his hands over Yellow Storm’s shoulders and said with a serious face and voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only you can do it. Only you can do this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…even if you say it nicely, your nature remains the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Err, if you don’t like it, you can stop. Is this my event? It’s your event.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The event to get the sacred rod was for Cordelia only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“F*ck, I really hate the game crew.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Cordelia who spit out curses again, but she seemed to have given up resisting because she was in low spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jude let out a sigh full of various emotions and then tapped Cordelia’s shoulders again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re going to do it, let’s get ready. We don’t have time. We have to do our best, but we can’t miss the event because we missed the timing, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haa…I’d rather die than suffer. Yes, I’ll do it. I’ll do it very perfectly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jude, who smiled and gave a thumbs up, took a step back and looked at the night sky again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the incident on the road to Langesthei two days ago that started all of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A day after leaving Count Bayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their travel schedule was generous in the first place, so the party was not in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We advanced slowly to let the horses rest, but when we stopped somewhere and rested, Maja and Dahlia went out of the carriage and took a break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was to get out of the stuffy carriage and breathe some fresh air, but rather, it was to give both Jude and Cordelia some alone time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How should I say, we’re very considerate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re a really good couple. Doesn’t it make you want to cheer for them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Dahlia’s self-praise, Maja replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hearts of the two were the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the first place, the promise to come out and make time for the two whenever the carriage stopped was not something discussed in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It naturally happened because of the consideration of the maid and escort who really thought of their masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in the shade of a tree, Dahlia, who took the offered teacup from Maja, continued while laughing ‘Ufufu’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Originally, they were a good-looking man and woman who got along well, but…their relationship has suddenly improved since last month?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, especially at the daytime runaway…no, after they’ve had their time alone together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha, I’m only telling you this…but just before, the young lady was feeling a little hurt. So, I was really worried, but I guess it was a good thing now because it could’ve been worse in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my goodness, the young lady too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Maja blinked as if she was surprised, Dahlia spoke along with an ‘Aha!’ exclamation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come to think of it, even the young master at that time was feeling troubled too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, a little…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Maja was just talking nonsense and making a fuss, but even so, Dahlia is an escort to his fiancée – no, rather, it wasn’t something to reveal because she was a person in that position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was the same with Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Cordelia was feeling hurt a month ago, she did a lot of nonsensical stuff as well as spilling a storm of curses that surprised all those who were listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What it was really back then…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pretty lady that looked like a doll was pouring out such vulgar curses out of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it was a sight I would never want to see again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it worked out really well. The young master’s body is getting better, and they’re going to the social gathering together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking at each other, the laughing maid and escort gazed at the carriage again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are the two people inside talking about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it my imagination that the two were smiling cutely and exchanging sweet words of love?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, be humane and ‘pay’ properly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh, your father gave me this, who do I have to ‘pay’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>T\u002FN: ‘pay’ – they’re talking about the paying system “n?” that I explained in the previous chapter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the money my father gave me to buy me something delicious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I’ll properly budget it and buy you something delicious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Cordelia and Jude, who had an unsatisfactory conversation about the stuffed money bag that Count Chase gave before the trip, did some stretching exercises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magical carriage boasted of a comfortable ride even though it was running on the road, but because they were stuck inside, they were feeling frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘But it’s better than playing the fiancée role in front of everyone.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was a bit frustrating, it was much easier and better to be alone together like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyway…let’s have a productive conversation now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Like the future schedule?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, schedule. Especially…what’s really going to happen in the future…about that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A month after awakening the memories of Outboxer009.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jude has already confirmed several times that this world is almost the same as?Legend of Heroes 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, only the elements that make up the world have been confirmed so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those that just exist, such as people, terrain, history, and objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Will the story itself proceed just like the?Legend of Heroes 2?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it would’ve been like the beginning if it were to proceed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jude and Cordelia intervene in this and that, the story itself would change due to the butterfly effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, “what’s going to happen” had a great meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First of all, our departure date is almost the same as that of Cordelia in the original.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it goes exactly the same as the game…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The bridge at the front of the road we’re going on now has collapsed, and the road is blocked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original work, there were two options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take a detour by using the mountain path or go south to get a boat for the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Cordelia’s main scenario, it was the first multiple choice options a player encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most of those who were stagnant water chose the detour route here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the only way to get the hidden event.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time Jude spoke, Cordelia had an unwilling expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because of the contents of the hidden event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young master, there’s an issue I have to report. Would you mind for a moment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young knight’s voice came from outside the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a knight named “Jun,” whom Count Bayer assigned as an escort for the trip, and he had made quite a brilliant contribution to the expedition despite it being his first campaign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I don’t mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excuse me for a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jude responded, Jun opened the carriage door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he glanced at Jude and Cordelia sitting face to face, before looking back at Jude and continuing his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There were some people coming back from the road ahead, so I asked them, and they said that the bridge has collapsed, and that the road is blocked. It couldn’t be helped, but I think we should take a detour.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘As expected.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jude glanced back at Cordelia, who frowned and nodded her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All right. Then are we going to take the mountain road?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Mr. Bayer is knowledgeable of the nearby geography.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because it was my first trip, I did some studying in advance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…indeed. Yes, we’re going to take the mountain road as young master had said. I’m afraid the schedule will be delayed by a day or so…but I think it’s the best we can do right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s do that. There’s plenty of time in the original schedule, so we can afford not to hurry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for understanding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jude appeared as decent and kind, Jun’s face, which was quite stiff at first, was loosened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to like Jude more now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I look forward to working with you, then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay. Although the road we’ll use is off our itinerary, we won’t have any problems with the safety of the two of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jun, who declared proudly as a knight, bowed again to Jude and Cordelia and closed the carriage door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And immediately after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jude said to Cordelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As in the game, the road was blocked, and a detour was taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The significant of this event was quite great, and in local terms, the basic conditions for beginning the hidden event were in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cordelia stretched her shoulders and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, by the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the game, the event automatically occurs when you go to the mountain road and head to a certain area, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It will occur.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But even if we head to a certain area, the event won’t occur automatically here, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course it won’t occur.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend of Heroes 2?was a game with a very high degree of freedom, but it was still a ‘story RPG.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, when certain events occurred, the characters were supposed to take certain actions that were out of the player’s control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, the story was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way for him to suddenly move his body spontaneously and recite a set line just because he went to a certain area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘If that exists, it’s a problem.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the important thing was to trigger the event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, what should we do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can I trigger an event in the game and get the same rewards?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was actually a simple story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Jude and Cordelia already knew the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have to recreate the event.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As we saw in?Legend of Heroes 2, they perform certain actions in certain places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if, like a play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please do a good acting, Yellow Storm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jude winked and Cordelia raised up her middle finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And two days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time of promise finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“F*ck, f*ck, f*ck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The use of abusive language…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fahk, fahk, fahk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ok, I give up. It would be good if you could focus on acting because you’ve relaxed your mind by cursing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near a valley where you can pass by the mountain route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jude, who had kept his back on the cursing Cordelia, had opened a watch he received from Ga?l and counted the remaining time left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s midnight when the event starts.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s bedtime was from 11 pm to 1 am, and in these two hours, only Jude and Cordelia were here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the only time possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maja was a maid in the first place so she was out of the night vigil, and if we ask the other knights to give us time alone, it would not have worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The current time is 11:50.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only 10 minutes left until the event was started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you ready?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-wait! If you look back, I’ll kill you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re all dressed up anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“F*ck. All right, you can turn around now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Cordelia gave her permission, Jude turned around and unconsciously let out his admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, I was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve known before that she was pretty, but should I say that I realized it again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Jude’s eyes, Cordelia, wearing only a large towel, stood barefoot with her hair untied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Of course she’s wearing clothes under the towel.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, what should I say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing with her hair down under the fantastic moonlight, Cordelia was so beautiful that it was such a mysterious sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you laugh, I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you if you turn your eyes around. If you even keep looking at me, I’ll kill you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if she hadn’t opened her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, where the hell do you want me to look then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know…anyway, I’ll start now, so hide well. Okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand, ma’am.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the two, who exchanged glances, took a deep breath and moved to their respective designated positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the beginning of the event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After using the mountain path, Cordelia finds a valley with a river during her journey, and bathes in the river to wash off the sweat around midnight, away from people’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Should I call it…the service event?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, there was a similar event for Jude too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either way, Cordelia, who was taking a bath, sings against the beauty of the moonlight…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aah, the water’s f*cking cold. Are you crazy? Why would I even go into the valley river in the middle of autumn, not in the summer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cordelia, who dipped her feet slightly in the water, shuddered, and Jude, who hid in the bushes, sent the sign in a miserable mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a sign to roughly begin to sing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha, really. Cordelia’s totally crazy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cordelia, who was criticizing her game character, shuddered in the water and opened her lips as she looked at the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, at this point I could understand why Cordelia was singing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I went into the wide valley river alone in the darkness of night, I knew Jude was looking at me, but I was scared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should I say it…it feels like something’s about to pop out of the water?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I didn’t sing, I couldn’t withstand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twinkle little star~ Shining beautifully~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Cordelia began to sing timidly, Jude sent a sign again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a sign to sing the original song, but Yellow Storm was not Outboxer009. How am I supposed to memorize a song that briefly played in the event?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s roughly the same as a song about stars, so it should work.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How long has it been since I continued to sing with that thought?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that, under the fantasy moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were those who responded to the song.\u003C\u002Fp>",2441,"2026-06-10T05:25:35.521Z",1,"novelbin.me","194ed951dc1ba7bd4284b18ba5635b0885c50d2cda1746c4bba597cee94c979c","ending-maker-chapter-18","ending-maker-chapter-16",634,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fending-maker-cover.jpg"]
