"Leon, it's dangerous for Senior Clarice to go back alone."
"Livia is right. It's very dangerous for a girl to be alone at night."
Angelica agreed, their expressions revealing their worry for Kuraris.
Lyon felt something was off, but he agreed without thinking too much about it.
"I understand. In that case, let's go take a look at the temple up there together."
"Thank you. Angelica, Livia, and you, Leon. From now on, just call me Kula."
Kuraris looked at Olivia and Angelica with gratitude, holding their hands, though a trace of fear still lingered on her face.
"Oh, no. Then you can just call me Livia, like Leon and the others."
"Just call me Ange."
Angelica's guard lowered considerably as she looked at Kuraris, whose face showed apology, and her gaze became kinder.
"Then let's go up now."
Leon was taken aback when he saw the three of them suddenly become like friends, but then he remembered that they were girls, so he naturally took their hands and walked upstairs.
Meanwhile, Kuraris walked to the side and began to introduce the topic.
The only light on the mountain path at night, besides the dim lamplight, was the moonlight.
The sound of the wind occasionally came from the leaves, their swaying forms creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere in the quiet environment.
"Kura, what you said before about coming down because there were too many people was a lie, wasn't it? I think you're more afraid of these sculptures."
Lyon looked at the strangely shaped sculptures in front of him, which looked somewhat eerie under the night sky, with a strange look in his eyes.
"Oh, no...no, not at all. I'm the daughter of an earl, how...how could I possibly be afraid of these things? Hehe..."
Kuraris forced a smile as she answered, her grip on Olivia tightening, until she was practically pressed against her.
"Kula, um, you're holding me a little less tightly."
Olivia whispered a reminder after feeling her arms almost completely submerged.
"Huh? Sorry! Sorry. Livia, I was just worried you'd get cold from the wind, so I moved a little closer."
Kuraris tried to explain, but her movements remained unmistakably close to Olivia.
Seeing this, Angelica had no choice but to put down her hand that was gripping Leon's waist, and went to the other side of Kuraris to protect her. Together with Olivia, they led her towards the temple on the mountaintop.
Leon took a deep breath as he felt the claws leave his waist. He lifted his clothes and saw a clear red mark.
"Really, was it really necessary to use it like that..."
Stare~
"Ahem! It's quite chilly tonight."
Leon gave an awkward laugh and straightened his clothes.
[It's because I like them so much, definitely not because I'm afraid of being pinched...]
He internally judged his actions, and his face regained the confidence of a boy. He climbed up with his chest out and head held high, admiring the beautiful scenery.
The two women's dresses fluttered in the breeze from time to time.
The white and black silk fabrics were revealed.
Although Lyon was already very familiar with the smooth touch, he still felt a great sense of accomplishment every time he did it.
It might be because he, as a man, was able to find such a cute and beautiful wife.
The four of them climbed to the top of the mountain amidst Kuraris's fear and anxiety, and saw the ancient temple that was full of the weight of time.
"We finally made it to the top."
Looking at the incense box in front of him, Leon took out his wallet, preparing to take out a few coins and put them in.
He knew that one needed to offer some money as a token of respect when making a wish.
"Livia, Angela, come quickly and make a wish."
"Ah."
The two women came to Leon's side and were about to put the silver coin in after receiving it, but were stopped by Kuraris behind them.
"Wait a minute, you guys."
"Eh?"
"This temple is a famous matchmaking temple. When you make a wish, you must make it in the direction of finding love and a partner. If you make it in the wrong direction, it won't come true."
Kuraris stepped forward to explain to the three of them, a hint of envy on her face.
"I didn't expect you to know so much about our matchmaking society."
A childish voice came from beside Kuraris, and the envy on her face immediately froze, as if someone had pressed the pause button. After stiffly turning her face, she saw a fox's face.
Boom!
As expected, Kuraris fell backward, so fast that Angelica, who was standing next to her, had no time to react.
Fortunately, Leon reacted quickly, taking a step forward and catching Kuraris, thus preventing her from falling directly onto the temple's bluestone slabs and getting injured.
"My nose is working, I'm breathing. My pulse is normal too, but why aren't my eyes moving?"
After observing the situation, Lyon expressed his doubts and then looked at the fox-faced girl who had suddenly appeared—the temple's shaman.
"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean to. I'm really sorry."
Seeing Kuraris's frightened appearance, the girl anxiously apologized and tried to bow, but Kuraris, who hadn't recovered yet, seemed even more frightened. Seeing this, she could only stand there sadly with her head down.
Angelica and Olivia immediately went over to comfort her when they saw her like this.
After a while, Kuraris regained her vitality, stood up, and asked the girl again. Only after confirming that the girl would not mention the monster did she return to normal.
"I'm sorry, sister... I'm just a little excited."
Kuraris forced a smile as she spoke, but Leon, the kingdom's most honest man, would not allow her to lie.
"Kura, fear is fear, there's no need to lie. Everyone has things they're afraid of, even I'm afraid of losing what I cherish."
Lyon glanced at Olivia and Angelica, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Leon, we won't leave you. We promised to be together forever."
"Leon, I'll get angry if you say that again."
The two women embraced Leon, showering him with love, and gently rubbed their faces against each other.
The girl exclaimed in amazement at the scene before her: "This is the love that Grandma talked about!"
Kuraris, with a bittersweet expression on her face, said, "I'll take this dog food!"
After they parted ways, and Lyon heard Lucaccion's voice in his earpiece after listening to the girl's story about the god of marriage.
"Master, based on the information we currently have, there is no God in this world. Or rather, the so-called God is a being whose science and technology far surpass ours, as Master has mentioned before."
"It's better to believe it exists than not! In short, whether it's a god or a demon, as long as the caliber and power are high enough, it can be killed. Let's launch more probe satellites to search for other ruins and find as many new artificial intelligences as possible to expand our database."
Leon pressed the earpiece and softly spoke his thoughts, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Gods are easy to kill as long as they have a health bar!
"Leon, come over here and get ready to make a wish."
"Okay, okay."
After Lyon walked over, he stood in front of the statue with an extremely devout expression, as if he were a fanatical believer.
The two women stood beside Lyon, their lips curling slightly as they looked at him.
"Great, beautiful, and respectable; unique in heaven and on earth..."
After a long string of flattery, Leon finally got to the topic of making a wish.
"Please let me and my beloved ones be together forever, until the world ends. If possible, please make their skin better and better, their breasts firmer and firmer, and their skin forever smooth and tender..."
It was another long and explicit segment about Lyon's future sexual happiness.
Ding-dong!
Leon tossed several gold coins into the incense box, then looked at the three women with a slow smile on his lips.
"You don't make wishes, do you?"
"Leon, don't be so blunt next time."
"There are children here."
The two men reminded him, but Leon simply shrugged.
"Alright then. Sorry, Kula and the shaman."
Leon bowed deeply to Kuraris, whose face was flushed crimson, and to the girl with her hands behind her back, apologizing as he looked forward to fulfilling the two girls' wishes.
However, Olivia and Angelica did not say it aloud when they went up to the statue and made their wishes.
"Livia, Ange, what wishes did you make?"
"Dah!"
"alright."
Unable to get an answer, Leon looked at Kuraris, who had not yet made a wish, and all three of them became somewhat expectant.
"Cough cough."
Kuraris stepped forward, cleared her throat, then clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.
"God, if possible, please let me find the boy I love. I hope he is a boy who is loyal to the kingdom, has courage far beyond others, is of upright character, and has a sacred and loyal attitude towards love. He must not be a blatant guy like Leon von Bartofalt."
Claris recalled Leon's words from just now, and resolutely said the last sentence. Her face turned even redder with shyness, as if it was about to drip water.
Ding-dong!
The gold coin fell into the incense box, and only then did Kuraris open her eyes, seeing Leon with a resentful expression.
"Senior Kuraris, what I said are the hopes that every boy has, okay? And don't you think that no one in the kingdom would fulfill those requests you just made? Besides, why did you say them in the first place?"
"Huh? Um, did I just say that out loud?"
Kuraris glanced cautiously at Olivia and the other two, and then received an affirmative answer.
"You were speaking very loudly just now, especially the last sentence, which almost sounded like you were shouting it out."
As the girl spoke innocently, Leon's eyes held an even deeper hint of resentment.
"Haha. Um, I'm really sorry, Leon. After all... after all..."
"I know I was too blunt. Sure enough, this world is full of malice towards honest men like me."
Leon cried as he hugged Angelica and buried his head in her arms.
"Hey! Wait a minute. There are children here too."
Angelica forcefully pulled Leon away, then pinched his cheek as punishment.
"Um, this is a gift from the shrine; it contains some lucky charms."
The girl handed the four cloth bags to Leon and his three companions.
After receiving the item, which resembled a blind box, Leon bowed to the statue again.
"Demons and monsters, get out of here!" ×N
"Mystery can't change fate, and spending money can't change destiny. We really need to release something good."
Kuraris, who was saying strange things, turned her gaze to Olivia and Angelica.
Has he always been like this?
"Hmm, Lyon seems to really like blind boxes."
The two women explained that they also handed their cloth bags to Leon, with smiles and anticipation on their faces.
After receiving the bags from the two women, Leon offered a prayer and prayed with all his might before opening them with great excitement.
Lyon's was a martial arts charm without a sword tip.
Olivia had a white lucky charm, while Angelica had a red magic charm.
