Chapter 599: Holy Land (1)
The next day, right after making my decision, I immediately contacted my friends. I told them that I needed their help and asked for their cooperation.
Of course, this was a significantly softened version of what I really said. In truth, I was more like arrogantly offering them an opportunity to be of use, but my friends, now used to my tone, didn’t ask any questions and just asked when they should come.
“A doll resembling the old Ruel, huh?”
“Are you going to fight with the hero?”
Not long after, when they arrived at the estate, I told them about the enemy we were going to face, and Arthur and Freya’s eyes lit up.
One was a hero-worshiping otaku, and the other was a fool who didn’t care much about strong opponents.
Hmm. They really do make a good pair. Even though Arthur denied it last time, I still wonder if there’s something between them. Maybe they have feelings they don’t even realize themselves.
“But... Lucy. Ruel, you’re in the weapon, right?”
I nodded at Joy’s question. Since Grandpa had mentioned that I was embedded inside, denying it would be pointless.
“Now, we’re going to meet the fake created by the desperate virgin. The old man recreated his reckless youth in that doll.”
Even though it was fake, it wasn’t something we could defeat easily.
Especially now, when I’m nothing more than a burden.
