Chapter 277: Side Story – ‘Fathers-in-Law’ Please Give Me Your Daughters! (13)
kUkYcaI, 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.huHLC
BG8hrPI lost friends, I lost comrades, I failed, I couldn’t save many.6jRcVAd
DeJeGxvAnd when I crashed against my own limits, I met her.omjdXj
U0jdCpP“So you are Corin.”5ZI4wy
7mrMy kind and beautiful master.cnkB
OQULTWOWhen 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?57Wvg36
rFObP1DThe 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.Ndps6xp
KTq8xShe was my master, my benefactor, and the guide of my entire life.SmVK
88B“You must be tired from going everywhere.”AX8s0X9
NIx4“Well, I have an original sin on me, so I can’t complain much.”ZZ38HDG
9w3Q1I let myself fall into my master’s arms and breathed in her scent. Sweet, but a little different from usual.CVj
lNdA“Master, did you put on perfume?”uCkm7
kvd“What? W-what?! S-shut up! What perfume would I be using at my age?”zLnDH
GTdhnHShe turns her head, completely blushing. There’s no doubt.wllB
qzTOIRB“Master doesn’t need perfume. You already smell good on your own.”tPyny
oVEf1Her face lights up like a flame and she hits my hand with her palm.S8dhG
MgGH4“Don’t make fun of your master!”teJm58G
Oh4re“It’s not a lie. You’ve always had a soft scent.”FEt
ZZfG“And how do you know that?”JOUKu
hjJme“I noticed when you gave me lap pillows. You did it often.”bQE
GYONJ8My master doesn’t need perfume. She already smells good on her own. That simple.EJZxZ
zWV“R-really… late love is something terrifying. Doing things I never do…”SnO
btoiH2“Did you just say you love me, master?”ize
oo4udO“U-ugh… don’t bother your master.”MSZ
4w1f88She is beautiful.vJDZo
UEsplzbHer appearance, her heart, her way of living.7jAER
1PuIFEverything that makes up the Corin of now comes from her.CxGA
RAku2JA“I came to present my greetings as a suitor before my in-laws.”WwnP9AT
eF2ZI53“Ahem… yes, true.”Bh9
iOz4Ay“Ah, and I already obtained your daughter’s permission.”KuO4
kUWVUc“My daughter? Who… C-Clara?”C4Gb
wdBuI8I nodded, and my master smiled warmly.JNSxt
e0akF“I see. Clara also gave her approval.”vaVG
jPL6c7“Is something wrong…?”KblWi56
etqM“No. That girl was the one who was against our relationship.”PAclQN
i6iPSCWThere was no need to ask why. It was obvious.1fx4
qJbUQHD“It’s good… I’m glad Clara accepts. She is like a daughter to me.”Khr
wpMXCpvErin was lost for a moment in her memories, until she suddenly reacted.4f4jB6
P57sq“Master?”us6irXb
oH21“C-Corin… no, nothing.”j4yHbfS
QK7TqS“What is it?”XIl0w7d
qB6JErin waved her hands, crossing them, and with a red face looked up at me.ULSsi
joTC“I-it’s just that I… am a virgin.”DjY6akP
Z0vpV“…Ah?”XiJM
7ptbDuvWhy bring that up all of a sudden? And if she weren’t, what would it matter?Hwq6BJ
TYm2NShe moved her fingers timidly.yhr
WfSBiAe“C-Corin… you’ll be my first man. I-I haven’t held a man’s hand… I mean, not in a romantic sense.”GaoV
GVGOh—so she thought I had misunderstood and believed Josephine was her biological daughter or something like that.A39xsS
AsE“Master is like an eternal mother to me.”dmjpUk
gQJuq“M-mother? I… I’m not… ugh, at this age it’s silly to deny it…”QB21u
0pXHIw8My master becomes sad, almost defeated. How can she be so adorable?gWB
dyoaV“Master, I love you.”MMLE
B1PP“So suddenly?!”V5pxrSM
mFYnI hug her tightly. She, smaller than me, almost falls, but soon starts stroking my head like always.l2p
bGuNG8j“Truly… you’re still a child.”JuN
3d44HMK“I will be all my life.”QncbsXb
DP6rvrX“What a difficult student.”E6Q
p0y1hp“No longer a student, now your husband.”8D0RVu
6BnW“H-husband?!”wdJ
CkLw7My embarrassed master is too cute.CvSg1
4AJ“Well. I only need to get my brothers-in-law’s permission.”LG7sBP
UTl“And if they don’t give it to you… what will you do?”5If
JABgv3She asked with fear.lL8rnHs
4icyHf9“It doesn’t matter. Erin is already my woman anyway.”KB9
K8vOZD“My… woman…”AcN
exXt1She lowers her head, avoiding my gaze, but her protruding ear is completely red.dGwP3m
BV6p“Come this way. Everyone is waiting for you.”9TAmVv
ftAI followed her to the ruins of a castle.FNKut
Lh5twThe place evoked nostalgia.59u4
SqDA fragment of paradise that in the game one visited after completing all the main stories.wtcN
sAVtGThere, the Tuatha De Danann welcomed you.BhiMK
GTZjj“You arrived.”p9DTI7d
4eQaCjGThe original owner of Clau Solaris, the ‘Sun’, Nuada Airgetlam.1I9nAvl
ZJI“My heir lost, it seems.”HNnNG
I9QbThe original owner of Aradwar, the Brightness, Lugh Lamhfada.yVs
LRRrsr“Kahahaha! I won the bet!”PWP
cN51CXThe original owner of Undry, the Earth, Dagda Morr.m5Fq5s
pKXQKAnd thus, a multitude of gods and goddesses:VXCWRS
bjypN8Diancecht, the god of medicine.CCoR
l5ehEGoibniu, the smith.ITyH
STSManannan mac Lir, god of the sea.451ME
s8V8oThe war goddesses: Morrigan, Macha, Nemain.iQgAlzG
uYF5Hundreds awaited my arrival.5OXe
F8gf“That is the next Ard Ri.”F0P73h
890tk“He’s not perfect. Since when does someone imperfect inherit the position?”GdJZKR
Ogg“He’s the only heir left in this era. It’s inevitable.”v9g
wY9LLJx“I would have preferred the side of Brightness. Those Gaedil traitors should have been purged.”CKFpW9
UxmC9E“If the youngest stayed the same, sooner or later a new heir would appear.”SF5b
uMGayO“And will they find one who is recognized by all the treasures?”K9Zn
1T5F51The reactions were divided.jn9
0PQMany supported me, others seemed to miss Tates.G7U
Ow0CnOne of the Danann, with a huge body, approached.vcuOO6
BlFQz“Young man, a question. How strong are you?”uQBd3
qudz4VvHe didn’t appear in the game, but I already knew the description: Ogma, god of war.Hnc
c2ckUHis mere presence imposed enormous pressure.YQASMK
JtxQwDb“Well… I haven’t traveled the whole world, but…”9EV7m
TPkI shook off that pressure with ease. I didn’t need to prove anything.RVVaErS
JPuTan3“I am probably the strongest in the current world.”ImVS
aBVjpFirst requirement to become Divine King: Strength.NenEE
LgrE8NUThe rest of the requirements can be managed if you fulfill that first one.kM6rGb5
vki“Khuhuhu… yes. To be a Divine King you need that degree of arrogance. What does the youngest say?”JIYWDV
QiM7xHGOgma looked at my master. She nodded without denying it.rPHN
eAJZ1The last living Danann.
The goddess of justice, Erin Danua.
She was capable of defeating even Ohad Breas, the most powerful former Divine King.zsR3
ICUIf she acknowledged me, nothing more was needed.oplKu
6DAIy“Good. If the last of our era acknowledges him, there’s nothing to discuss.”b3CE
iokCGOgma struck my shoulder and smiled.vU0
vxUrmM“I, Ogma, god of war, grant my divinity to the new Divine King, Corin Loch.”SvBp
fx6ckhIt was the beginning.zAL
hvxplC“The smith god Creidne. Likewise, I transfer my divinity.”fKkNx5x
6JVH“Manannan mac Lir. I grant you all my riches.”d1hji
spL“Lugh Lamhfada. I approve.”Tca
necTq2e“Brigid, goddess of fire and fertility. I bestow my blessings upon you.”OjDmCu
puc0Pr“The Dagda. I yield to you the rights over all lands.”OIoUs
qDJP“Nuada Airgetlam. All the moments of daylight shall be yours.”AqfHh
uVkn“We, the three goddesses of war—Nemain, Macha, and Morrigan—grant you the glory of victory.”9w5YC7b
gUjQP5One after another, the Danann granted me their divinities.Ou7IcZ2
fPY1VThose divinities were now mine, and I had the right to distribute them if I wished.5gjmNr
gzgbpLastly, the only Danann of this era.peTg
V1VOThe final queen of the divine race.eoB
IWm0k“I, the twelfth Ard Rí, the goddess of justice, Erin Danua.”lGAYOR
kDmrmPShe pressed her forehead against mine and closed her eyes.TpPe
2p2“I grant all my power and royalty to the thirteenth Ard Rí, Corin Loch, god of the sun.”MZGJ
okmcb0In that moment, I was proclaimed Divine King.cu0

vvnZJ…Wow.rPzCAuc
jiCA monstrous improvement.IU64x
xUGe4fKThe combined effect of defeating Tates and becoming Divine King was absurd.sqnaM
9oC4‘With this I am, without discussion, the strongest being in the world.’XjDK
vyxS9bvIt was unreal. My peak form during that battle, now permanent.8E4B
6CxThe Danann exploded into celebration.KEpd
aTr3“The youngest is getting married!”OmzxM
rL9NF“The youngest is finally getting married!”YSFip
xuY7g5“That old spinster! Spring finally came for her.”FIJpkO
YEYjb7h“Whoever bet she’d die single, come out now!”Ggv
brZU5“Damn it! I thought she’d die old and alone with her personality.”pHQ8Rw
xtM0ks“A human so just and stronger than the youngest? The probability was absurd.”g3D3b6E
S1SixWow.nwjHAI
0PI5Apparently I wasn’t the only one who wanted my master to marry.r5hwvaA
6Dg5q0“Y-y-you…”xte
FREQsLJMy master was stiff, completely red, unable to speak.O0UVwaV
zpxryYO“Did the weapon I lent you serve its purpose?”tnQ
5E3As I received blessings, Manannan mac Lir approached.X6Cc31A
hXSzTE“A lot. If not for it, I don’t know what I would’ve done.”tzuz
oHynjsThe final burst against Tates wouldn’t have been possible without the red spear.LZM
Msv94x“It’s one of the few weapons capable of neutralizing Aradwar. But wielding it was your merit.”0z7gGkH
TYzpVf“Well, yes.”ATE6
TE19r“Khukhu, that’s how a Divine King should be.”NLzH
Lf6I glanced around, looking for someone.0HSxo
1oJ7“And Angus?”pyhG
00CWqLThe god of love. The one who, together with Park Sihoo, had set traps for me.Kv7
0B2IRDNot even his shadow.fz9vO8t
1nMtJ“He said we would meet when the time comes.”NwCfwbM
X0bo“…I see.”Iityvmj
TQbI didn’t know what Angus sought by siding with that lunatic. But if he avoided me, no need to chase him.gcTRV
uySp9“So, do all the Danann brothers-in-law approve my marriage?”cTctJ
VMLSY1B“For us, having many spouses is a virtue.”ZlVYDQM
P2mManannan smiled.C0SCoZ2
r9SUoU“You received the treasure key from Tates, didn’t you?”UjDhp2
Q7LDE“I thought Lugh left it.”n9clnu
Jc6“They were my gifts to him. Consider this the same.”bxy
ip2He handed me another key.17D
P5j“When you’re Divine King, you have rights to all of Danann heritage. The youngest had no interest in riches, but you…”cck
JBEr20A“I do.”x5y7SYL
jJzd6“Good. Next time, come with your children.”8UW
J4C“…”Wos
LV5P“What’s wrong?”0FuwTZ
oSVx0“It ended too peacefully.”Q9B
ojy24t9“???”R3IOV
j6zpJust like that, the family introduction was over. We returned to the academy.skqoKWF
yWS0I“Congratulations. I’ll take my leave. I have work.”1ZBrZkd
x6tVNASJosephine vanished as if she had already read the entire future.UEix
UxhLrMy master, carrying a pile of gifts, looked at me with embarrassment.cz4M9eW
pMJyvA“Master.”76HF
ung“Yes?”RGJFa
SFumG“We’re already getting married.”4RBEJ
bClpg“Yes… I-I suppose so…”a49
sRLb“Then Professor Josephine is my adoptive daughter…”QyRC8
7SgzCY1“Oh, you child!”2Jc26Ve
wI4WNkShe hits my back. But she smiles, relaxed. How lovely.tS77zA
YZbI hug her.Kq1x60
foy4aLqMy master.6JNC
vFC3PsDMy long-lost mentor.pdJJ0I
4j3di8The adult who protected me.DjfNeF
8iB0The woman I defended, fought alongside, and with whom I saved the world.jUC4o
WErXL5At last I can hold her in my arms.LiRDM
DJTPiK“Thank you. All living creatures in the world owe you an unpayable debt.”VqwGrJ
PEJ“Without you I wouldn’t have achieved anything.”AgZuG18
5SuHer teachings shaped me. Her justice became mine.FR8sS5
2VWpVLNOnce, I lost her. This time, I protected her.lpY9A8
X8CIERLMy life in this world exists only thanks to her.bG4xKqY
UAlE“Fufu…”nVRU
MpNqjWith a warm smile, she embraces me.8TwPr
lJt“Do you remember what I said? My duty is to live with you and walk with you.”Ud6
86YJ00K“To give you everything, without you having to suffer.”ohC
OodG7“My dear Corin. My disciple. My partner. Let us walk together for each other’s sake.”kNDEak2
ojQ3Ed5Thank you. Truly, thank you.H5WI
2DkAK1“Mas— Erin…”ZsCAr
ye55“Erin. I want you to call me as a woman now, not as a master.”VXjrmVk
VCJ“Erin.”xmqg
yUEnShe smiles.ANFs5
YE8Gxn“Truly… by now I should be used to it. But every time I hear my name on your lips, it tickles my heart.”oemZnK
ztpD4Her gaze locks onto mine. We approach and share a deep kiss.JUPT
SOcyvpWithout dimming the fire, without stopping the heat, we wrap around each other.a7p5YW
0PRShe doesn’t reject my hands.aScmd
98u“I love you.”vNU
C30gI“I also… love you, Corin.”RuY
cZub5e5It was a moment in which we filled each other completely.c1gQ1vm
PLJEuBy***H8ZHy0q
IKSyDI obtained the permission of all the fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law.K8Xpp
1i6oThere were many complications, but well, it seems everything turned out fine in the end without major problems.GKN1l
NtB9H20“Phew, Corin. Hey… will this be okay? Do I look weird?”eqA
JbPL9f“You look beautiful, senior Marie. Actually… weren’t you supposed to bring the basket of potatoes too?”Iqmb3
2sz2k9“Mm? Ah, this is just a little gift. It’s a set of 27 potatoes carved into jewels from our mines.”xasp
Xlyx…They even carve potatoes into jewels. How far does her obsession with potatoes go?4iN
99GTy“Uuugh, sister… and to think they forced me to bring horse jerky…”lRz
zDUAq“And what’s wrong with that, Alisha?”ia4Ep
mxV“And why did Lunia arrive with a wedding outfit set made with the highest-quality silk?”Ymxchq
yZRe“Hehehe, so you can compare, don’t you think?”CPxZD9
xhOTYThe 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.5ZM1VY
yk1y“…”xtBY
bLD“And what did you two bring?”4YefIek
4tfnXVThe 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.nkSMgU
qvkRn4“I brought this.”j68kCmv
DxZ“A rare mineral? It has a very strange shine. And you, Ran?”66hF5
c88R0ba“Good water for the body.”YFtD3
nu4“…Did the Brilliant Sect give you that?”l3Fo
DcuYV9Hwa 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?H5wS8
ozrQZ“What’s it called?”Y9DWDvH
EHVzW70“Mmm… they said Coral Gold and Refined Blue Oil.”Q9pJj
0YE“Return it. No, better take it back home.”v2bt4La
ydfI don’t want to turn my parents into max-level masters.rmf2Fsv
hOU“And what did Estelle noona and Miruam prepare?”1rP
xUvP5“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—”B1Y2
Hyj“Throw them away. No, burn them. Do you want us to have a religious revolution on our hands?”P9X55
m2Tbjr“Snif…”hs8iDC7
HMfyJAfter watching Estelle give up all sad, Miruam showed her little box.nTHQL
4U5uGJ“I brought engagement gifts. Normal ones.”RZypKl
iRt5It was a set of jewelry. Well—jewelry, but within normal limits.uYxZ
8QtT1U“Phew…”iDOA
MSrbOyGood thing I checked beforehand. Why can’t they all be like Miruam and bring normal things?azJkDJT
vsYruZ“U-umm…”nA5nn
aHj“Erin, from everything you brought, keep one thing and return the rest.”HD9w3hc
X12zSMk“Eh? B-but everyone took the trouble to give me these things…”GFmMxLQ
EQQ5z“You can’t bring all the dowries the Danann gifted you. The house will collapse.”wNj00
XjYvLike something out of a cartoon episode, Erin had wrapped piles of treasures in a single giant cloth.QTcDiak
radYF4LI urgently called Lady Josephine to return the gifts.dwukd
NzzQlu0After that chaos, we finally headed to my home.HSSLWTu
