I Entered a Gacha Game That Had Been Abandoned for 10 Years

198 – Epilogue (5)

Kim Hyun-woo was momentarily stunned by the situation that had suddenly turned into a mess.

“You can come back again?”

“Th, that’s a relief.”

“I didn’t know that…”

He sighed as he watched the heroes sigh in relief as soon as they heard Kim Hyun-woo’s explanation.

“I’ve already asked you to marry me, so where would I go without you? So don’t worry.”

“If, if the master says so,”

“Since it’s my lord’s words.”

The heroes nodded in agreement.

Kim Hyun-woo, who had confirmed that the heroes who had been acting as if they had PTSD in an instant were okay, soon asked with curiosity.

“So, why were you in front of Roria’s door? And Aria?”

Recalling how the heroes had jumped out as soon as Kim Hyun-woo said he was going back to his original world, Lynn spoke cautiously.

“Actually, I came here because I wanted my lord to decide something.”

“You want me to decide? What is it?”

“Th… who to have the wedding ceremony with first.”

“Ah.”

Kim Hyun-woo sighed at Lynn’s words and spoke without realizing it.

“Who to have the wedding ceremony with first… you mean?”

“Of course, we will follow our lord’s words. And we will not have any complaints or questions about this order.”

The heroes spoke as soon as he muttered those words.

He looked at the heroes gathered in front of him.

They all seemed to agree with Lynn’s words, but on the other hand, they all looked at Kim Hyun-woo with a mixture of anxiety and nervousness.

Kim Hyun-woo, who could tell that the heroes would express their dissatisfaction with this decision with their whole bodies, even if they didn’t say it out loud, spoke firmly.

“Really?”

“Really…!”

“…Even if Lynn is the last?”

Kim Hyun-woo’s sly remark brought a look of disbelief to her eyes.

“W-well, if that’s my lord’s will- I-I’ll follow it…”

Lynn’s body staggered as if she had suffered a great deal of mental damage.

Kim Hyun-woo spoke hurriedly as tears welled up in her eyes.

“It’s just an example, not that I’m going to do that.”

“Is, is that so?”

Unlike Lynn, who had regained some of her energy, the other heroes looked anxious again, and Kim Hyun-woo seriously thought that the heroes might develop bipolar disorder if they continued like this.

‘I don’t think it’s going to work out with anyone having the wedding ceremony first.’

Kim Hyun-woo was worried because, judging from Lynn’s reaction, the other heroes’ mental health would be shattered in an instant the moment the wedding ceremony was held, excluding the hero who was having the wedding ceremony.

“L, Lord! Where are you, Lord!”

He looked out the door, wondering about the urgent voice that was looking for him.

Soon after, a knight with an urgent expression opened the door and came in. He paused for a moment when he saw Kim Hyun-woo with the heroes, but soon bowed his head slightly and spoke urgently.

“My Lord, you need to come and check this out urgently! There are skeletons with blue bones outside right now…!”

Kim Hyun-woo made a bewildered expression at the words coming out of the knight’s mouth, which seemed very urgent, and was about to approach the terrace.

“You don’t have to check it out, it’s a lie!”

“…Aria?”Before Kim Hyun-woo could approach, he called out to Aria, who had appeared on the terrace with a huge hand bone, and unknowingly made a blank expression.

That’s because the clothes Aria is wearing now are not the usual clothes she wears, but a gorgeous blue dress.

Kim Hyun-woo, who was staring at it blankly, soon looked down.

Below, skeletons with blue bones were controlling the path leading to the castle in unison, and at the end of the controlled path, a huge public ceremony hall was built.

“Let’s get married right now!”

“No, so suddenly?”

Kim Hyun-woo’s bewildered tone.

However, Aria stopped Kim Hyun-woo, who was about to go out to the terrace, and hugged his neck with both hands.

“I can’t let the other guys get married first!”

With a confident smile, she tried to take Kim Hyun-woo out of the terrace, but-

“Ouch!”

-It was only for a moment, as if the heroes who would not let Aria’s misconduct go unnoticed immediately grabbed Kim Hyun-woo.

“Who do you think would let that happen!?”

“Absolutely, no way!”

Soon, they began to pull Kim Hyun-woo’s arms to prevent him from being dragged away by Aria.

Thus began the tug-of-war.

However, Kim Hyun-woo, who had become the ‘rope’ itself,

“Hey, guys, I’m, I’m dying. T-That’s it-! Ugh-“

He groaned in pain and muttered.

In the end, the heroes’ tug-of-war continued until Kim Hyun-woo passed out.

####

Two weeks have passed since the commotion caused by the wedding.

Two weeks is not a long time, but for Lartania, it was a time when a lot could be done.

The Lartania estate, which had been shattered by Arthur and Roria, has been sufficiently restored in just two weeks and has now completely regained its former appearance.

‘At this rate, it’s about 70% recovered….Well, considering the mercenaries, it’s almost 100% recovered.’

Kim Hyun-woo, who was looking at the notification window that had popped up in front of him, smiled with satisfaction.

“It’s been a long time, but your complexion has improved a lot?”

Soon, he naturally closed the estate window and looked at the mysterious merchant at the sound of a voice coming from in front of him.

She was sitting on a chair opposite Kim Hyun-woo, who had come without him knowing, and was talking with a natural smile.

“…It’s only been two weeks.””I did see you, but it was only every few days.”

“Every few days?”

“Yeah, I stopped by Lartania a few times to see you. But you were always busy?”

Kim Hyun-woo grimaced at the mysterious merchant’s meaningful laughter and said, “…You’re more of a pervert than I thought.”

“I’m not a pervert. It’s just that you were always busy when I came to see you.”

“Even though I was often alone in my office?”

“You have to be honest. Your heroes… no, your wives were always under your desk.”

“…That’s not my fault. I’m tired too.”

Kim Hyun-woo wiped his face as if he was a little embarrassed.

Two weeks ago.

After Aria and the others had their wedding, Kim Hyun-woo had been busy every day.

…In fact, if only those who had attended the wedding had been busy, it wouldn’t have been so hard.

There were five people who had attended the wedding.

However, the problem was that after the wedding, the heroes who hadn’t been able to attend the wedding became depressed, so he started taking care of them as well.

Currently, Kim Hyun-woo was being squeezed several times a day by the heroes who had attended the wedding, under the pretext of being their companion, and by the heroes who hadn’t attended the wedding, under the pretext of comforting them.

“I don’t know if I’m going to die like this.”

“Don’t worry, you won’t die. You have so much ether in your body that you won’t die unless you want to.”

“…That’s good news, I guess.”

The mysterious merchant looked at Kim Hyun-woo, who was laughing pitifully, wondering if he really liked it, and threw something at him with a chuckle.

“What the-“

Kim Hyun-woo caught what the mysterious merchant had thrown at him instinctively, even though he was surprised. He realized that it was a transparent bead and said, “…What is this?”

“I told you, didn’t I? I’ll let you go back and forth between here and there.”

“…Is this it?”

“Yeah, just think hard about how to use it. It’s not that difficult, so you don’t need to know how to use it. Just try it yourself.”

Kim Hyun-woo looked at the bead with a new expression at the mysterious merchant’s words.

“Then I’ll go.”

The mysterious merchant stood up with a satisfied smile.

“Already?”

“It’s not already. I’m busy trying to restore the world that Loria destroyed. Anyway-“

The mysterious merchant began to disappear into dust from his toes as soon as he stood up.

“-Now that you’re done, live your life as you wish. Take it easy.”

He waved his hand and disappeared, saying that he would see him again when he had some free time.

“…”

Kim Hyun-woo looked at the bead that the mysterious merchant had given him and then looked out over Lartania from the balcony.

Unlike a year ago, when it was nothing but ruins, Lartania was now a metropolis where the sound of people’s voices never stopped.

“…I should go back and take a look.”

He looked at the streets of Lartania and the bead that the mysterious merchant had given him with a strange feeling.

How much time had passed?

“Master!”

“?”

Kim Hyun-woo looked down and saw Merilda, who had called him.

She was holding a wooden basket with a silver tail and pointed to somewhere with her finger.

“Ah.”

Kim Hyun-woo realized that the place she was pointing to was the flower field in the vast meadow east of Lartania. He belatedly remembered what he had thought about with them.’…We decided to go flower viewing.’

Kim Hyun-woo belatedly looked at the other heroes behind Merilda.

Rien, who was arguing with Aria.

Shardra, who was talking to Charles with a serious expression, and River, who was listening to them with a strange blush on her face.

Loria was talking to Rani, who was packing cooking utensils, and stroking her head.

Elena and Lynn, who were looking at Kim Hyun-woo, just like Merilda.

He looked at them and said.

“Wait a minute, I’ll be right down!”

With those words, he was about to leave the office of the Lord’s Castle, but he looked at the transparent bead in his hand.

And.

“Master! Let’s go quickly! The forsythia is in full bloom!”

“My lord, if you go this time, I will show you something interesting-“

“No- that’s not what I mean, you idiot!”

“Yes, you’re an idiot! You blockhead!”

“Hieek…that’s a bit-“

“But if you do this, it will be a little better-“

“…Wow…”

In the third drawer of the desk in the office that Kim Hyun-woo left, the transparent bead he received from the mysterious merchant was quietly placed.

As if it would never move from that spot.

Quietly.
