Chapter 277: Side Story – ‘Fathers-in-Law’ Please Give Me Your Daughters! (13)
a4FKI, who in the past was an earthling, dragged myself all the way to death fighting with a single technique, the Triple Path Technique, facing the strongest monsters of the era.8Z3Nj
YlFUsoGI lost friends, I lost comrades, I failed, I couldn’t save many.MgDhIY
TyatoaAnd when I crashed against my own limits, I met her.gGGZX
TVn4zpD“So you are Corin.”zA6o
4ecMy kind and beautiful master.iukawP9
ujb7jWhen that woman, betrayed by her disciple and wounded to her core, said she wanted to make me her disciple—how great must her decision have been?CeS2FG
yAyPuqgThe only clear thing is that today I can be here, and I was able to become strong without straying, thanks to Erin Danua, my beloved master.58zsH
V9owKPgShe was my master, my benefactor, and the guide of my entire life.ss0dS
34Z“You must be tired from going everywhere.”rWU
wsfKh“Well, I have an original sin on me, so I can’t complain much.”oRJVAtW
yloVYI let myself fall into my master’s arms and breathed in her scent. Sweet, but a little different from usual.Y59Ll0
nhW“Master, did you put on perfume?”XzC
eQtNwE“What? W-what?! S-shut up! What perfume would I be using at my age?”uGtDVo0
fvnTShe turns her head, completely blushing. There’s no doubt.X76
9J7vAw“Master doesn’t need perfume. You already smell good on your own.”Q56XL
Jd2b5Her face lights up like a flame and she hits my hand with her palm.cIApg23
LRPgcNK“Don’t make fun of your master!”gTHHi5
ad8Yh1S“It’s not a lie. You’ve always had a soft scent.”WCvQs
njieYU“And how do you know that?”8XL
Q42“I noticed when you gave me lap pillows. You did it often.”e7O
OYjHMy master doesn’t need perfume. She already smells good on her own. That simple.NGyV25
VoVrm“R-really… late love is something terrifying. Doing things I never do…”vJPc9JV
SK5w“Did you just say you love me, master?”6Ix9g6k
8nnUF“U-ugh… don’t bother your master.”ZoHTqN
r47upi0She is beautiful.kfUDk0
0kAlHer appearance, her heart, her way of living.4ogFlT
TQ5e7N6Everything that makes up the Corin of now comes from her.ilB
0lnwIf“I came to present my greetings as a suitor before my in-laws.”ljkv7
xs45“Ahem… yes, true.”LB6jnj
NrDm“Ah, and I already obtained your daughter’s permission.”zeidAH
nd35“My daughter? Who… C-Clara?”ExEP7fh
qZ2I nodded, and my master smiled warmly.zxC7aC
yaP“I see. Clara also gave her approval.”fblK47g
5yX“Is something wrong…?”y3SKb8
7Mxn“No. That girl was the one who was against our relationship.”fD0
nVT8VpBThere was no need to ask why. It was obvious.fzKC941
LV5kw“It’s good… I’m glad Clara accepts. She is like a daughter to me.”XF44
5MbQjqXErin was lost for a moment in her memories, until she suddenly reacted.oKO7gV
N0LF4VL“Master?”sup
nCVC“C-Corin… no, nothing.”tPYuv
B1bwSpC“What is it?”dEPFS
6PXVbosErin waved her hands, crossing them, and with a red face looked up at me.Vh6IUET
O26P“I-it’s just that I… am a virgin.”9Pj58q
UeRza3P“…Ah?”vsMG
CBVHZiWhy bring that up all of a sudden? And if she weren’t, what would it matter?1aUEB
sdFShe moved her fingers timidly.cHJR9M
WSc“C-Corin… you’ll be my first man. I-I haven’t held a man’s hand… I mean, not in a romantic sense.”Giiji9u
OVLtSOh—so she thought I had misunderstood and believed Josephine was her biological daughter or something like that.8Nd6XQA
qzMX5“Master is like an eternal mother to me.”NedsrDt
5rVC9oh“M-mother? I… I’m not… ugh, at this age it’s silly to deny it…”Yvz
XJ6yMy master becomes sad, almost defeated. How can she be so adorable?z0FWU
tzN“Master, I love you.”aisE
KoZ9Lb“So suddenly?!”1cp
i5bNA7I hug her tightly. She, smaller than me, almost falls, but soon starts stroking my head like always.53E
tU7Q“Truly… you’re still a child.”kKgC6
yWVi“I will be all my life.”eRCwRh
W1nA“What a difficult student.”dtTBi4p
TUn1V“No longer a student, now your husband.”xrZW
xnA0ObG“H-husband?!”4d2f
Yh0Cf5My embarrassed master is too cute.dhK
P967i3“Well. I only need to get my brothers-in-law’s permission.”43Ys
7psY“And if they don’t give it to you… what will you do?”T5rVvv
HMwShe asked with fear.XOxF
zHmOhza“It doesn’t matter. Erin is already my woman anyway.”wRsaUKC
3Nf9qp5“My… woman…”yu7
ZcRUoShe lowers her head, avoiding my gaze, but her protruding ear is completely red.erVnrTG
kkB“Come this way. Everyone is waiting for you.”VwxK4u
gjVIwfI followed her to the ruins of a castle.7Rfs5MN
0hfThe place evoked nostalgia.Mt3iNVQ
aGGtsA fragment of paradise that in the game one visited after completing all the main stories.XSu
M4q0dYIThere, the Tuatha De Danann welcomed you.OCPD
R9r“You arrived.”mcGzl
D1vThe original owner of Clau Solaris, the ‘Sun’, Nuada Airgetlam.iL9
SlodxK“My heir lost, it seems.”XGbBhi0
YUzxBdThe original owner of Aradwar, the Brightness, Lugh Lamhfada.80vpm
8E9D“Kahahaha! I won the bet!”VR3Zm48
2y6The original owner of Undry, the Earth, Dagda Morr.uFII
D4uUIAnd thus, a multitude of gods and goddesses:NOKuh
LQnDiancecht, the god of medicine.9FA
QARsGoibniu, the smith.0BGmrp
Ez3Manannan mac Lir, god of the sea.SCpT
rCNtThe war goddesses: Morrigan, Macha, Nemain.lR4
55miHundreds awaited my arrival.6gElHuP
KMYUw“That is the next Ard Ri.”KtmfJVG
18M2cm“He’s not perfect. Since when does someone imperfect inherit the position?”rE28y
dChx“He’s the only heir left in this era. It’s inevitable.”wvv
M0Ua2P“I would have preferred the side of Brightness. Those Gaedil traitors should have been purged.”nVK
rfc“If the youngest stayed the same, sooner or later a new heir would appear.”GoVE
CPGJj“And will they find one who is recognized by all the treasures?”rpNLxC
8GngThe reactions were divided.uQV2HZG
55YMany supported me, others seemed to miss Tates.VUy
xKhQIiOne of the Danann, with a huge body, approached.4prmfk
h4p“Young man, a question. How strong are you?”Iu7yS86
IV4He didn’t appear in the game, but I already knew the description: Ogma, god of war.XAiRwk
0TRS6His mere presence imposed enormous pressure.jwjEdB
hwT“Well… I haven’t traveled the whole world, but…”SgY4zi
yiPMI shook off that pressure with ease. I didn’t need to prove anything.InWrGk3
hsLP“I am probably the strongest in the current world.”xAlmkj5
0mlCCFirst requirement to become Divine King: Strength.UgwnY
UwgurThe rest of the requirements can be managed if you fulfill that first one.qoH
8CqC8b“Khuhuhu… yes. To be a Divine King you need that degree of arrogance. What does the youngest say?”N810A
dErZOgma looked at my master. She nodded without denying it.FPcQ
i1VrThe last living Danann.
The goddess of justice, Erin Danua.
She was capable of defeating even Ohad Breas, the most powerful former Divine King.Enp7F
FGXIf she acknowledged me, nothing more was needed.3hT
vr91D4h“Good. If the last of our era acknowledges him, there’s nothing to discuss.”Y0exhvL
7HIOgma struck my shoulder and smiled.ayJ8M
GON6PrY“I, Ogma, god of war, grant my divinity to the new Divine King, Corin Loch.”lrvWV
BXp3It was the beginning.SBe
QPDR0“The smith god Creidne. Likewise, I transfer my divinity.”A998
uzH“Manannan mac Lir. I grant you all my riches.”iY7
zrZ7S51“Lugh Lamhfada. I approve.”x0eU1
TWc8uy“Brigid, goddess of fire and fertility. I bestow my blessings upon you.”S1i
X8EV“The Dagda. I yield to you the rights over all lands.”WGGV
e8vJ4“Nuada Airgetlam. All the moments of daylight shall be yours.”SDXv
EMyo4F“We, the three goddesses of war—Nemain, Macha, and Morrigan—grant you the glory of victory.”Uj4mAH
rDcLz0EOne after another, the Danann granted me their divinities.JQ1
vBLThose divinities were now mine, and I had the right to distribute them if I wished.4m1um
1AgYtAILastly, the only Danann of this era.Kj9
oRrBf0The final queen of the divine race.5vG9I
npiF9e“I, the twelfth Ard Rí, the goddess of justice, Erin Danua.”8UIHK
3MkkShe pressed her forehead against mine and closed her eyes.n78z2
lYD8“I grant all my power and royalty to the thirteenth Ard Rí, Corin Loch, god of the sun.”K8r
ubSpUjNIn that moment, I was proclaimed Divine King.4M7

DwhhZ…Wow.yxK
1cU7TTMA monstrous improvement.z0VtLE
qCmOhcThe combined effect of defeating Tates and becoming Divine King was absurd.yZUJ
aTx‘With this I am, without discussion, the strongest being in the world.’AC6T
7B06wpkIt was unreal. My peak form during that battle, now permanent.3NAORw
Sq2grjdThe Danann exploded into celebration.DGFIl
2dv3“The youngest is getting married!”PzRgOq
M89UO“The youngest is finally getting married!”RQSqGw
8UvdF“That old spinster! Spring finally came for her.”hgTa5e2
1QddEK“Whoever bet she’d die single, come out now!”KHD
Q16“Damn it! I thought she’d die old and alone with her personality.”QhFU5wo
hCm“A human so just and stronger than the youngest? The probability was absurd.”2JPy
QQqolQWow.oRXEy
4NVfSApparently I wasn’t the only one who wanted my master to marry.Pxra
iEqs“Y-y-you…”yuE0
yXAzSMy master was stiff, completely red, unable to speak.q2AEds
cA7V“Did the weapon I lent you serve its purpose?”K0J8
YgKb6bbAs I received blessings, Manannan mac Lir approached.Amwjfx
L4enXA“A lot. If not for it, I don’t know what I would’ve done.”kTgcVyy
SfR4WThe final burst against Tates wouldn’t have been possible without the red spear.osCxzX
JAQY“It’s one of the few weapons capable of neutralizing Aradwar. But wielding it was your merit.”l2L6
kZgQp“Well, yes.”10TNz5n
6qe“Khukhu, that’s how a Divine King should be.”89xjGu
MwTnVlBI glanced around, looking for someone.dRSsA
XwNtD“And Angus?”968n
RYLN44The god of love. The one who, together with Park Sihoo, had set traps for me.03V
m7PNot even his shadow.0V7
MCFqX3D“He said we would meet when the time comes.”JCIgy
qPsAl“…I see.”gZm
fqZNNYCI didn’t know what Angus sought by siding with that lunatic. But if he avoided me, no need to chase him.2xpi
IRwZt“So, do all the Danann brothers-in-law approve my marriage?”O3n4tY2
42FL2“For us, having many spouses is a virtue.”KKCAj
HDHManannan smiled.OUN5
G186“You received the treasure key from Tates, didn’t you?”rebAu
IYS“I thought Lugh left it.”TvX3
oGueSB“They were my gifts to him. Consider this the same.”tPS4DI
nidHe handed me another key.Jprui0
vfRp6“When you’re Divine King, you have rights to all of Danann heritage. The youngest had no interest in riches, but you…”H6LEh
CYOPvc“I do.”Zgzvf5T
2vJ“Good. Next time, come with your children.”vKHmf8
tAF8MC“…”grDgoH
fDrxfPf“What’s wrong?”7KRu7E4
vkwEQaa“It ended too peacefully.”nsQ
ngyQ“???”3wB
NZEtqT3Just like that, the family introduction was over. We returned to the academy.wl922X
CUlgpWb“Congratulations. I’ll take my leave. I have work.”NTtVA1s
SqUAsElJosephine vanished as if she had already read the entire future.wfOu
tFVG9My master, carrying a pile of gifts, looked at me with embarrassment.U79
eVgF“Master.”Bn8
jiKxA“Yes?”gspy
nmOuai3“We’re already getting married.”dJb
wiy“Yes… I-I suppose so…”bof7
RYQ“Then Professor Josephine is my adoptive daughter…”G6rLc46
LGd“Oh, you child!”LmbY
dUJZGShe hits my back. But she smiles, relaxed. How lovely.OLfcF
q4c9mI2I hug her.bOCs4N
gubdyuXMy master.5Xk
8gnMy long-lost mentor.r9evh
jNgYg8The adult who protected me.rmAt
Ztn2The woman I defended, fought alongside, and with whom I saved the world.QmCuH05
iddJfAt last I can hold her in my arms.Fxvn8j
RLNf“Thank you. All living creatures in the world owe you an unpayable debt.”UWBXqws
BDYxs9“Without you I wouldn’t have achieved anything.”LHkgjUl
QigkHer teachings shaped me. Her justice became mine.HlV
uKdoM0vOnce, I lost her. This time, I protected her.qrpd
H0PiMy life in this world exists only thanks to her.3cyL6g5
tedZ8“Fufu…”iAndt
EJvDWith a warm smile, she embraces me.WCpwk7Z
SpOu“Do you remember what I said? My duty is to live with you and walk with you.”nrjJdTd
ydE7S7k“To give you everything, without you having to suffer.”fXk
fw9v“My dear Corin. My disciple. My partner. Let us walk together for each other’s sake.”846P
BJqLUThank you. Truly, thank you.z3YdL
w7ucC“Mas— Erin…”dDDH6
rTboC2“Erin. I want you to call me as a woman now, not as a master.”98lay
uPQ“Erin.”Bw6ajC
tMZz6pShe smiles.0M2h4y
hpP“Truly… by now I should be used to it. But every time I hear my name on your lips, it tickles my heart.”cxu5
sVUsd28Her gaze locks onto mine. We approach and share a deep kiss.0ZqK4P
fiJQWithout dimming the fire, without stopping the heat, we wrap around each other.i0f
0QHgQShe doesn’t reject my hands.X636J9Y
Cjg3J“I love you.”ISFRr
nit“I also… love you, Corin.”JMD
oc8It was a moment in which we filled each other completely.JIzO
V1fubFJ***eIWO
31NI obtained the permission of all the fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law.OgEfr0G
5VuJlThere were many complications, but well, it seems everything turned out fine in the end without major problems.TkM
5wyS“Phew, Corin. Hey… will this be okay? Do I look weird?”KPD
G9JrW“You look beautiful, senior Marie. Actually… weren’t you supposed to bring the basket of potatoes too?”YjrIQU
uPdZY9a“Mm? Ah, this is just a little gift. It’s a set of 27 potatoes carved into jewels from our mines.”x1tH
Qi4R…They even carve potatoes into jewels. How far does her obsession with potatoes go?ag56w
fxzO“Uuugh, sister… and to think they forced me to bring horse jerky…”7TdXM
x5QZYC“And what’s wrong with that, Alisha?”LtN8D
nt86“And why did Lunia arrive with a wedding outfit set made with the highest-quality silk?”MLoK
HcKE9ub“Hehehe, so you can compare, don’t you think?”3aV
g2siQ1TThe Arden sisters didn’t seem to have major issues either. Still, bringing horse jerky to this meeting… I still think Alisha made a bad decision.87eu
P4yKiLG“…”tlU
Vc0CM“And what did you two bring?”xvV
GgKw3sXThe spiritual silk robes gifted to them by the Masters of the Demon Cult were gone; they were back in their original habits. Well, understandable—those robes were uncomfortable to walk in.ebw
Zd5G0“I brought this.”X4t
GBaqOq“A rare mineral? It has a very strange shine. And you, Ran?”C8t1
mL3“Good water for the body.”N4nE
NLNv“…Did the Brilliant Sect give you that?”26TWsM
k2cVlvSHwa nodded. Since she became the Demon God of the Sect, she was someone even the Empire couldn’t touch. What the hell did they give her?2n98Ic
eoLtR“What’s it called?”qDCt
UKbO“Mmm… they said Coral Gold and Refined Blue Oil.”G7k
vnK“Return it. No, better take it back home.”29gOE
DwNI don’t want to turn my parents into max-level masters.jxa
ygNk7“And what did Estelle noona and Miruam prepare?”xm73uz
pmkb0P“Me? I have 100 indulgences from our Holy Church! Super-special indulgences that forgive any sin! They go on sale next month, but I brought you—”Ysy95V
dOvmD“Throw them away. No, burn them. Do you want us to have a religious revolution on our hands?”xqnu
qUoM“Snif…”uQ7
rLbpaH9After watching Estelle give up all sad, Miruam showed her little box.HnAJmI
ZF8X22“I brought engagement gifts. Normal ones.”lR02S5
eCVGqAIt was a set of jewelry. Well—jewelry, but within normal limits.kdev
6MY“Phew…”DMJeVl
JHa3XGood thing I checked beforehand. Why can’t they all be like Miruam and bring normal things?E1te
GTD“U-umm…”ahGynJ
FAEjm“Erin, from everything you brought, keep one thing and return the rest.”4VlJhj4
Bn6“Eh? B-but everyone took the trouble to give me these things…”sXQDF
rKASmKk“You can’t bring all the dowries the Danann gifted you. The house will collapse.”7Y3ytha
cbhLike something out of a cartoon episode, Erin had wrapped piles of treasures in a single giant cloth.ABfbbRA
fwUI urgently called Lady Josephine to return the gifts.fCtf7TU
cgYZNfAfter that chaos, we finally headed to my home.gA3
