I Killed an Academy Player Chapter 277: Side Story – ‘Fathers-in-Law’ Please Give Me Your Daughters! (13)

Chapter 277: Side Story – ‘Fathers-in-Law’ Please Give Me Your Daughters! (13)

I,‌ 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.​

I lost friends, I lost comrades, I failed, I couldn’t‍⁠⁠ save many.

And‌⁠​ when I crashed​‍ against my own‍‍‍ limits, I met​⁠‍ her.

“So‌⁠ you are Corin.”‌‍‌

My‌‍‍ kind and beautiful​ master.

When⁠‍ 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?

The‌‌‍ 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.

She‍⁠ was my master,‌‍ my benefactor, and‌⁠​ the guide of​⁠ my entire life.‌‌

“You‌⁠ must be tired‌ from going everywhere.”​

“Well,‌⁠‍ I have an‍​ original sin on‍ me, so I can’t complain much.”‍

I let myself fall‌‍ into my master’s‌‍ arms and breathed‌ in her scent.‌​​ Sweet, but a little different from​‍​ usual.

“Master,​‍‌ did you put⁠ on perfume?”

“What?​⁠‌ W-what?! S-shut up!⁠‍ What perfume would⁠ I be using⁠ at my age?”​‍

She⁠⁠⁠ turns her head,‍ completely blushing. There’s‍‍ no doubt.

“Master‍‌⁠ doesn’t need perfume.​​ You already smell​⁠‌ good on your‍‍⁠ own.”

Her​⁠‌ face lights up⁠⁠​ like a flame‍​⁠ and she hits​ my hand with‌ her palm.

“Don’t​‍ make fun of⁠ your master!”

“It’s‌​ not a lie.‍ You’ve always had‌‌‌ a soft scent.”⁠​‍

“And⁠‌‍ how do you‍‍‍ know that?”

“I‍⁠ noticed when you‌⁠ gave me lap‌‍ pillows. You did​⁠ it often.”

My​⁠⁠ master doesn’t need⁠​‌ perfume. She already‌⁠ smells good on‌⁠ her own. That‍‌‌ simple.

“R-really…‍​ late love is⁠⁠ something terrifying. Doing‌‍ things I never‌ do…”

“Did‌​ you just say⁠⁠⁠ you love me,​​ master?”

“U-ugh…​⁠ don’t bother your‍‍‍ master.”

She⁠ is beautiful.

Her​‌ appearance, her heart,‌ her way of‍⁠​ living.

Everything​ that makes up‌‌‍ the Corin of‍​​ now comes from‍ her.

“I‍ came to present​‍​ my greetings as‍‌⁠ a suitor before​‍ my in-laws.”

“Ahem…‌‌ yes, true.”

“Ah,​‌ and I already⁠​ obtained your daughter’s⁠ permission.”

“My‌‍‌ daughter? Who… C-Clara?”⁠​

I nodded, and my‌​​ master smiled warmly.‌

“I⁠ see. Clara also⁠ gave her approval.”​⁠

“Is‌‌‌ something wrong…?”

“No.‌ That girl was⁠‌‌ the one who‍ was against our⁠‌​ relationship.”

There‍‌‌ was no need‌‌ to ask why.‍‍​ It was obvious.​⁠‌

“It’s​​ good… I’m glad‌⁠ Clara accepts. She​⁠⁠ is like a daughter to me.”​​

Erin‌‍ was lost for⁠⁠ a moment in​‌‍ her memories, until​​ she suddenly reacted.‍‌

“Master?”​‍‍

“C-Corin…⁠⁠⁠ no, nothing.”

“What​‌ is it?”

Erin⁠ waved her hands,‍​‌ crossing them, and‍‌‍ with a red‍⁠ face looked up​‍ at me.

“I-it’s‌⁠​ just that I…⁠⁠ am a virgin.”‌

“…Ah?”‍

Why‍‍‌ bring that up‌⁠‌ all of a sudden? And if‍ she weren’t, what‌ would it matter?⁠

She​‍ moved her fingers​⁠ timidly.

“C-Corin…‌‍⁠ you’ll be my⁠ first man. I-I⁠‌ haven’t held a man’s hand… I mean, not in‍⁠ a romantic sense.”​​

Oh—so⁠ she thought I had misunderstood and‌​‌ believed Josephine was⁠‌ her biological daughter​​ or something like​ that.

“Master‍‌ is like an‍‌⁠ eternal mother to⁠‌‌ me.”

“M-mother?‌ I… I’m not…‌​ ugh, at this‍‍ age it’s silly​​‌ to deny it…”​​

My‍ master becomes sad,​⁠⁠ almost defeated. How​‍​ can she be​​‍ so adorable?

“Master,‍‌⁠ I love you.”⁠​‍

“So‌​ suddenly?!”

I hug her tightly.‌‌‌ She, smaller than⁠ me, almost falls,‌‌​ but soon starts‍ stroking my head​⁠‍ like always.

“Truly…‍ you’re still a child.”

“I​ will be all​ my life.”

“What‍‍ a difficult student.”​

“No‍ longer a student,‍‌ now your husband.”‌‍⁠

“H-husband?!”‌‌

My⁠ embarrassed master is​ too cute.

“Well.‌‌ I only need​ to get my⁠⁠‍ brothers-in-law’s permission.”

“And⁠⁠⁠ if they don’t​ give it to⁠⁠ you… what will⁠‍ you do?”

She‍​‌ asked with fear.⁠

“It‌‌ doesn’t matter. Erin​ is already my‌‌ woman anyway.”

“My…‌ woman…”

She​​‍ lowers her head,‍​‍ avoiding my gaze,⁠‌‍ but her protruding‍ ear is completely‌‍ red.

“Come‌‍⁠ this way. Everyone‌ is waiting for‍ you.”

I followed her to​‌ the ruins of​‍ a castle.

The‌ place evoked nostalgia.​​

A fragment of paradise⁠‌⁠ that in the⁠​ game one visited‌‍ after completing all‍‌‌ the main stories.​‍⁠

There,‍ the Tuatha De‌ Danann welcomed you.‌⁠

“You⁠⁠ arrived.”

The‍​⁠ original owner of‌​⁠ Clau Solaris, the​​ ‘Sun’, Nuada Airgetlam.​‌‍

“My​‌ heir lost, it​⁠⁠ seems.”

The‌ original owner of‌ Aradwar, the Brightness,‌‌⁠ Lugh Lamhfada.

“Kahahaha!⁠ I won the​‌ bet!”

The‍ original owner of⁠ Undry, the Earth,‍ Dagda Morr.

And‌⁠​ thus, a multitude⁠ of gods and‍ goddesses:

Diancecht,​⁠ the god of‍​​ medicine.

Goibniu,‌‍‍ the smith.

Manannan‍​⁠ mac Lir, god‌ of the sea.‍‌‌

The​⁠ war goddesses: Morrigan,‌ Macha, Nemain.

Hundreds​‌​ awaited my arrival.⁠

“That⁠ is the next⁠⁠ Ard Ri.”

“He’s‌ not perfect. Since‌⁠ when does someone⁠ imperfect inherit the‌​‌ position?”

“He’s​‍ the only heir​​‌ left in this​‌⁠ era. It’s inevitable.”​

“I‍‍‍ would have preferred​‍‌ the side of‍​ Brightness. Those Gaedil‌‌ traitors should have‌⁠ been purged.”

“If​⁠ the youngest stayed​ the same, sooner​‍ or later a new heir would‍⁠‍ appear.”

“And​⁠‌ will they find​​ one who is‌⁠ recognized by all‌⁠ the treasures?”

The‌‌‌ reactions were divided.‍

Many​‍‌ supported me, others‍‍⁠ seemed to miss⁠⁠ Tates.

One‍‌ of the Danann,⁠⁠ with a huge‍⁠ body, approached.

“Young​‌ man, a question.‌​ How strong are‍ you?”

He‌‌ didn’t appear in​​​ the game, but‌‌⁠ I already knew​​ the description: Ogma,‌ god of war.‌‌‍

His​ mere presence imposed‌⁠ enormous pressure.

“Well…​‍‌ I haven’t traveled⁠​ the whole world,‌ but…”

I shook off that‍‍ pressure with ease.‍⁠‍ I didn’t need‌ to prove anything.‌

“I‍⁠‌ am probably the​ strongest in the⁠​‍ current world.”

First⁠‍ requirement to become‍​ Divine King: Strength.⁠

The‌ rest of the‍‍ requirements can be​‌‍ managed if you‌‍ fulfill that first​⁠‌ one.

“Khuhuhu…​‍ yes. To be​‌‍ a Divine King‌‍‍ you need that‍ degree of arrogance.‌ What does the‌‍ youngest say?”

Ogma‍ looked at my​ master. She nodded​‍ without denying it.‌

The‍‍‍ last living Danann.‌​⁠
The goddess of​​​ justice, Erin Danua.‍⁠
She was capable‍ of defeating even⁠‌⁠ Ohad Breas, the‌ most powerful former‍​‍ Divine King.

If‌ she acknowledged me,‍⁠ nothing more was‌‌ needed.

“Good.⁠ If the last‍‍ of our era​‍ acknowledges him, there’s⁠‍ nothing to discuss.”​‌‍

Ogma‌⁠‌ struck my shoulder​​ and smiled.

“I,⁠‍ Ogma, god of‌‍‍ war, grant my⁠‌‌ divinity to the‍‍ new Divine King,⁠ Corin Loch.”

It⁠‌​ was the beginning.‍

“The​⁠‌ smith god Creidne.⁠​ Likewise, I transfer​‍ my divinity.”

“Manannan‌‌ mac Lir. I grant you all​‍ my riches.”

“Lugh‌​ Lamhfada. I approve.”‍‌

“Brigid,‍‍ goddess of fire⁠⁠ and fertility. I bestow my blessings‌‌‌ upon you.”

“The​‍⁠ Dagda. I yield⁠ to you the⁠ rights over all​‍ lands.”

“Nuada‍​⁠ Airgetlam. All the‍ moments of daylight⁠‍ shall be yours.”‌‍‍

“We,‍ the three goddesses‍ of war—Nemain, Macha,‍⁠ and Morrigan—grant you​​ the glory of‍ victory.”

One‌​‍ after another, the​‍⁠ Danann granted me‍‌‍ their divinities.

Those‌⁠ divinities were now‍ mine, and I had the right​⁠ to distribute them​ if I wished.​

Lastly,⁠⁠‌ the only Danann⁠​ of this era.‍‌

The⁠​⁠ final queen of‌ the divine race.⁠‍

“I,‍​ the twelfth Ard‍ Rí, the goddess​​​ of justice, Erin‍ Danua.”

She​‌ pressed her forehead‍​ against mine and‍‍⁠ closed her eyes.​

“I‌⁠ grant all my‍⁠ power and royalty⁠​‍ to the thirteenth‌ Ard Rí, Corin​‍ Loch, god of⁠⁠‌ the sun.”

In‍‌‌ that moment, I was proclaimed Divine​ King.

[The‌⁠ Coronation of Paradise‌‌ has been completed.​‍‍ Congratulations, Divine King‍⁠ Corin Loch.]

…Wow.​

A monstrous improvement.

The‍ combined effect of‍ defeating Tates and‌⁠⁠ becoming Divine King​​ was absurd.

‘With‌‌ this I am,⁠ without discussion, the‌​ strongest being in‌ the world.’

It⁠⁠ was unreal. My​‍ peak form during‌⁠‍ that battle, now​‌​ permanent.

The‌ Danann exploded into‍ celebration.

“The⁠ youngest is getting‍‍​ married!”

“The⁠​​ youngest is finally‌​ getting married!”

“That⁠‍ old spinster! Spring​ finally came for‍​​ her.”

“Whoever‌⁠⁠ bet she’d die‍​⁠ single, come out​‌ now!”

“Damn‌ it! I thought⁠⁠​ she’d die old‍⁠​ and alone with​⁠ her personality.”

“A​‍ human so just⁠‌ and stronger than‌​ the youngest? The‌‍ probability was absurd.”​

Wow.​‌

Apparently‍⁠ I wasn’t the‌ only one who‌‌‍ wanted my master‌⁠‍ to marry.

“Y-y-you…”‍⁠‍

My‍ master was stiff,‌ completely red, unable⁠ to speak.

“Did⁠‍ the weapon I lent you serve⁠ its purpose?”

As‌ I received blessings,‍ Manannan mac Lir​ approached.

“A‍‍​ lot. If not​‍‍ for it, I don’t know what​⁠ I would’ve done.”​⁠

The‍ final burst against‌ Tates wouldn’t have‌‌⁠ been possible without​‌ the red spear.‍

“It’s⁠ one of the​ few weapons capable⁠‍‍ of neutralizing Aradwar.⁠​ But wielding it‍‌​ was your merit.”⁠​‌

“Well,‌​​ yes.”

“Khukhu,‍‌​ that’s how a Divine King should⁠‌ be.”

I glanced around, looking​⁠⁠ for someone.

“And⁠​‌ Angus?”

The⁠ god of love.‍​‍ The one who,​⁠ together with Park⁠ Sihoo, had set‍‍ traps for me.⁠

Not​‌​ even his shadow.‌‌‌

“He‌ said we would⁠​ meet when the‍​ time comes.”

“…I‌‌ see.”

I didn’t know what‌‍​ Angus sought by‌‍ siding with that⁠​ lunatic. But if⁠⁠ he avoided me,‍ no need to⁠‌⁠ chase him.

“So,‌‌ do all the‍​ Danann brothers-in-law approve‍‍ my marriage?”

“For‍ us, having many⁠‍ spouses is a virtue.”

Manannan‌ smiled.

“You‌ received the treasure‌​ key from Tates,‍​‍ didn’t you?”

“I⁠ thought Lugh left‌‌ it.”

“They⁠ were my gifts⁠‍ to him. Consider⁠​‌ this the same.”‌‌

He⁠‌ handed me another‌​‌ key.

“When‍‍⁠ you’re Divine King,‌ you have rights‍​ to all of​‌ Danann heritage. The⁠‌ youngest had no‌⁠ interest in riches,‌​⁠ but you…”

“I​‍ do.”

“Good.‍⁠⁠ Next time, come⁠‌‌ with your children.”‌⁠

“…”‌‌

“What’s​⁠‍ wrong?”

“It​‍​ ended too peacefully.”⁠⁠

“???”​‌​

Just‌ like that, the⁠‌‍ family introduction was​⁠‍ over. We returned​‍ to the academy.‍‌

“Congratulations.‌ I’ll take my⁠​⁠ leave. I have⁠⁠⁠ work.”

Josephine‍ vanished as if‍‌⁠ she had already⁠​ read the entire⁠‍ future.

My⁠‍​ master, carrying a pile of gifts,‍ looked at me‌ with embarrassment.

“Master.”​

“Yes?”⁠​

“We’re⁠ already getting married.”‌

“Yes…​⁠ I-I suppose so…”⁠

“Then‍ Professor Josephine is⁠ my adoptive daughter…”​

“Oh,⁠ you child!”

She​ hits my back.‌‌ But she smiles,​‌ relaxed. How lovely.​​

I hug her.

My​‍ master.

My‌​ long-lost mentor.

The⁠⁠ adult who protected‍ me.

The​⁠ woman I defended,⁠‌⁠ fought alongside, and​⁠⁠ with whom I saved the world.⁠​

At​⁠‌ last I can⁠ hold her in​⁠⁠ my arms.

“Thank‌⁠‌ you. All living⁠‌⁠ creatures in the‌‍ world owe you⁠‌⁠ an unpayable debt.”‌⁠‌

“Without⁠ you I wouldn’t‍‍ have achieved anything.”‍

Her‍‍ teachings shaped me.‌ Her justice became⁠ mine.

Once,​​‍ I lost her.‍ This time, I protected her.

My​​ life in this‌ world exists only‌‍ thanks to her.​

“Fufu…”⁠​⁠

With‍​‌ a warm smile,‍⁠ she embraces me.‌‌​

“Do⁠​⁠ you remember what‍‌ I said? My⁠ duty is to​​ live with you⁠​​ and walk with‍‍ you.”

“To​⁠⁠ give you everything,‌ without you having‍‌ to suffer.”

“My⁠‍ dear Corin. My‍ disciple. My partner.​ Let us walk⁠​‌ together for each‌‍ other’s sake.”

Thank⁠‍ you. Truly, thank⁠‍‍ you.

“Mas—‌ Erin…”

“Erin.​ I want you‌⁠ to call me​‍⁠ as a woman‍‍‌ now, not as​⁠​ a master.”

“Erin.”⁠‍

She‍‍‌ smiles.

“Truly…‍‌ by now I should be used​ to it. But​⁠⁠ every time I hear my name‍‌​ on your lips,‌​‍ it tickles my‍​​ heart.”

Her‍⁠ gaze locks onto‍ mine. We approach‍​ and share a deep kiss.

Without​​‌ dimming the fire,‌⁠ without stopping the‍⁠‍ heat, we wrap⁠ around each other.​‍‌

She‌⁠ doesn’t reject my​⁠‌ hands.

“I​‌‍ love you.”

“I‍ also… love you,⁠‌‌ Corin.”

It‍‍ was a moment⁠​​ in which we‍ filled each other​ completely.

***​‌⁠

I obtained the permission⁠⁠ of all the‍‍⁠ fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law.‌

There⁠‌‍ were many complications,‌⁠ but well, it‍ seems everything turned‍‍ out fine in‍​ the end without‌‌ major problems.

“Phew,‌ Corin. Hey… will​ this be okay?‌‍⁠ Do I look⁠‍​ weird?”

“You⁠‍​ look beautiful, senior‍ Marie. Actually… weren’t⁠‌ you supposed to‌‌⁠ bring the basket​‍ of potatoes too?”⁠⁠‌

“Mm?​ Ah, this is‌​‍ just a little⁠​‌ gift. It’s a set of 27⁠​⁠ potatoes carved into⁠​ jewels from our⁠ mines.”

…They‍ even carve potatoes‍⁠ into jewels. How‌​‌ far does her‌‌​ obsession with potatoes⁠ go?

“Uuugh,‍‍‌ sister… and to‍​ think they forced​ me to bring​​ horse jerky…”

“And​​ what’s wrong with​ that, Alisha?”

“And‌‌ why did Lunia‌ arrive with a wedding outfit set‍⁠ made with the‍⁠⁠ highest-quality silk?”

“Hehehe,‍‌ so you can​‌‍ compare, don’t you​ think?”

The‌‍ 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.​‍

“…”‍

“And​ what did you​‌⁠ two bring?”

The⁠ 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.‍

“I‍‌​ brought this.”

“A⁠⁠‌ rare mineral? It‌​‌ has a very⁠⁠‌ strange shine. And⁠ you, Ran?”

“Good‌​‍ water for the‍ body.”

“…Did​‍ the Brilliant Sect‍ give you that?”⁠

Hwa‌ 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?

“What’s‍‌ it called?”

“Mmm…‍ they said Coral⁠‍‍ Gold and Refined​‌ Blue Oil.”

“Return‍ it. No, better‍​ take it back⁠‍ home.”

I don’t want to‍‌ turn my parents​ into max-level masters.‌

“And‍​ what did Estelle‌‌⁠ noona and Miruam‌⁠​ prepare?”

“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—”​​‌

“Throw⁠​ them away. No,‍ burn them. Do‍⁠‍ you want us​‍‌ to have a religious revolution on⁠‍‍ our hands?”

“Snif…”⁠

After‍​ watching Estelle give​‍ up all sad,​ Miruam showed her​‍⁠ little box.

“I⁠⁠‌ brought engagement gifts.‍ Normal ones.”

It⁠ was a set⁠‌ of jewelry. Well—jewelry,​‍​ but within normal‍ limits.

“Phew…”‍‌​

Good‌‍ thing I checked‍⁠ beforehand. Why can’t⁠ they all be‍ like Miruam and⁠ bring normal things?‌⁠​

“U-umm…”⁠

“Erin,‍‌​ from everything you‌‍‌ brought, keep one⁠⁠‍ thing and return⁠‍‌ the rest.”

“Eh?​‌ B-but everyone took‌‍ the trouble to​‌​ give me these​‍‍ things…”

“You​ can’t bring all​‍ the dowries the⁠ Danann gifted you.​‍‍ The house will​​ collapse.”

Like‌⁠‍ something out of⁠ a cartoon episode,‌​ Erin had wrapped⁠ piles of treasures‍ in a single‍‍‍ giant cloth.

I urgently called Lady​⁠‍ Josephine to return‍‍‌ the gifts.

After‍​‌ that chaos, we​ finally headed to⁠⁠ my home.

“…………..”‍‍​

“…………..”‌​

“…………..”⁠‌​

My⁠​​ father, Rudin Loch.‌‌​

My​‌‍ mother, Suel Loch.‌⁠

My‍‍‌ younger sister, Shia‌​​ Loch.

The⁠ three members of​⁠‌ the Loch family‍‌ stared, confused, at⁠⁠ the seven (eight)‌‌ daughters-in-law who appeared‍​‍ before them.

And⁠ then all of‌‌⁠ them shouted at‌‌ the same time:‍

“Father-in-law!​⁠ Mother-in-law! Please give‌‍‍ your son to‌‍ us in marriage!”⁠

“????”‍​

Extra⁠‍ – Alternate Episode⁠​‌ 3

Fathers-in-Law’‍⁠​ Please Give Me‍‍ Your Daughters!
