Reader’S Regeneration Life [EN]: Chapter 312

312―――――

One Month

“Huh?”

Lee Shion, who was deeply engrossed in a passionate kiss with Zion, suddenly exclaimed.

Then, looking around, she quickly grabbed the sword that was placed next to her.

“Lee Shi?”

“Just now… for a very brief moment, I felt intense magical power enter the mansion.”

“You mean an intruder?”

“I think that’s probably it.”

Lee Shion said, unable to hide her disappointment, as she began to rise from her seat.

“No need.

I felt it too just now, but it’s not those pointy-eared pigeons [derogatory term for elves] or pigeon-dung fanatics [derogatory term for paladins or religious zealots].”

“Li, Lilith-nim?”

From who knows when, a silver-haired beauty sitting on the windowsill entered the room as naturally as a snake.

Thanks to this, Lee Shion was in a state of utter chaos, as she hadn’t even noticed that Lilith was right outside the window.

“What is it, Lilith-nim?

How long have you been there?”

“A little while ago.

Suddenly, a strange fellow entered the mansion, so I was going to let you know right away, but it didn’t seem like an enemy, so I was just waiting until Lee Shi noticed.”

“Why were you waiting by the window?”

“Eavesdropping is also exciting in its own way.”

“…”

Zion had a dumbfounded expression, and Lee Shion’s face was even more bewildered.

At that, Lilith cackled and laughed, saying, ‘Yes! That’s the kind of expression I wanted to see!’ Then, muttering, ‘Ah, this is not the time,’ she cleared her throat.

“Zion.

That fairy you invited here before, right?”

“Sirien? Ah, so the one who suddenly entered the mansion is…”

“I think that’s her.

But why would someone who received a formal invitation from you do something suspicious instead of entering openly?”

“I wonder.”

“Can you really trust that girl?”

Lilith has a fixed idea that fairies are unconditionally on the side of the Celestial Race [a powerful, often antagonistic faction].

It wasn’t unreasonable, as the fairies themselves had been advertising themselves as servants of the Celestial Race day in and day out.

If such beings suddenly shout, ‘The Celestial Race is bad!’ and then come along saying, ‘Shall we get along now?’ it would be abnormal not to be suspicious.

“I don’t know about the other fairies yet, but that woman is okay.”

Of course, Zion knew everything about what kind of fairy Sirien was, what thoughts she had, and what kind of end she would meet because of it, so he trusted her.

The fairies who followed the Celestial Race were ultimately using them for their own benefit.

Among them, Zion was certain that Sirien was someone he could definitely trust.

“I don’t know why such a woman is infiltrating… but anyway, if she does anything strange, she’s going to have a proper initiation ceremony [a euphemism for punishment or interrogation].”

“Pardon?”

“Kim Yu-hyun came back just now.”

Kim Yu-hyun came back in the meantime?

Not even a day has passed, and he traveled that far, fought Ekaterina, and came back again.

Thinking about where the limit of that monstrous protagonist is, Zion let out a laugh.

If he were to imagine what would have happened if he had become hostile to Kim Yu-hyun, a truly unprecedented, worst-case disaster movie would naturally be drawn in his head.

‘Ugh, it’s terrible just to imagine it.’

Even if he took everything else into account, even if all the Celestial Race were under Zion, he was certain that Kim Yu-hyun alone would crush them all.

Either way, Kim Yu-hyun is the protagonist of this novel, and the power of that buff [a beneficial effect or enhancement] can never be ignored.

Maybe even now, Kim Yu-hyun isn’t benefiting from Zion, but he might be benefiting from the protagonist buff.

“By the way, I went to see him briefly, and he brought back a Dragonkin [a race of dragon-human hybrids] who was almost dead?”

“Ekaterina?”

“Yeah.

She was almost in tatters again this time.

I wonder how fiercely they fought each other, ah.

Correction.

How refreshingly she got beaten up; she was covered in blood.

Ugh… I’m afraid it’ll come out in my dreams.”

Originally, it couldn’t be helped.

The reason why Ekaterina is strong is because of her recovery power that surpasses even the Celestial Race and the Demon Race, the experience that is first engraved on her wounds each time she survives, and her innate absorption of combat.

She doesn’t die easily, and after fighting, and even while fighting, she continues to grow.

For this reason, even formidable powerhouses often end up being defeated and killed by the Dragonkin.

‘But Kim Yu-hyun is different.

In the first place, if there really is a god, that guy is someone who would even kill that god.’

No matter how much Ekaterina acquires experience in battle, recovers, and endures.

The existence of Kim Yu-hyun is a completely different class from her.

Was it called the Heaven Beyond Heaven [a concept of surpassing all limits]?

That saying was perfect for the current situation.

The protagonist buff, the power gained from all sorts of opportunities, and a truly unbelievably strong body.

In addition, thanks to Zion, he now has a pretty good mental state.

Zion thought that maybe Ekaterina would have to fight for a hundred years to even hear the words ‘strong’ from Kim Yu-hyun.

“But Master?

I heard that Kim Yu-hyun and that fairy guest ran into each other, is that okay?”

“Is there any problem?

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.”

“No, that’s…

Lilith-nim.

You said that he just finished a duel with that Dragonkin woman, and they both fought really fiercely, right?

Then he’ll look like he just killed someone.”

At Lee Shion’s concern, Zion recalled something he had forgotten for a moment and let out a sigh, ‘Ah.’

Sirien, who had a very strong liking, or rather, affection, for Kim Yu-hyun in the novel.

However, she was killed by the radical fairies and never even received an answer from Kim Yu-hyun.

In the current situation, Zion thought that Kim Yu-hyun already has Eos, but since heroes originally have many women, he wanted Kim Yu-hyun to subtly embrace Sirien, who could play an excellent role as a bridge between the fairies.

But if that man appears in front of her with a corpse-like bloody mess.

Could Sirien have good feelings for Kim Yu-hyun like in the novel?

‘Damn it.’

It would be absolutely impossible.

It would be different if she thought of him as an unprecedented villain.

The probability of harboring curiosity or affection was almost zero.

It seems like this failed before it even started.

Zion muttered like that and was about to get up from his seat.

From outside, the voice of a servant was heard, saying that Kim Yu-hyun and another guest had arrived.

“I, I’ll prepare to escort Master right away!”

Lee Shion, who was just clinging to him and whining a moment ago, immediately returned to being a knight and stood up to fulfill her duty.

Lilith was smiling as she looked at the knight.

“I really like Lee Shi.”

“What about the others?”

“I like them all.

However, Lucia is somehow too much of a burden, Ria is too obvious about pretending not to be, Trisha is still picky, and that woman Zanne is too stiff.

As for the fairy Helen… I don’t know.

I think I need to watch that friend a little more.

Lee Shi usually has a serious knightly appearance, but when she’s next to you, Zion, she immediately becomes a girl and her eyes sparkle, right?

If that’s not cute, you must not have a heart!”

“It’s good to praise Lee Shi, but you shouldn’t change it into something weird.”

“Oh my?

Why?

Are you afraid that I’ll suddenly fall for Lee Shi and leave you?”

Zion didn’t have such thoughts at all.

Lilith wouldn’t be crazy enough to do that, and Lee Shion couldn’t betray Zion.

The grand event had already taken place in the bathroom, and in the room, he was just caressing Lee Shion a little, so Zion, with Lilith’s help, changed into a formal attire that gave off the feeling of being the successor of the Klausen family, which he usually wore.

No matter how many times he wore it, it was too difficult to put on this formal attire alone.

Lilith fastened Zion’s shirt buttons one by one, arranged his collar, and lightly kissed Zion’s cheek, as if a wife was taking care of her husband’s attire.

A very warm, soft, and even fragrant sensation.

When Zion coughed and tried to suppress the sudden surge of heat, Lilith chuckled and patted Zion’s back, saying.

“Come back safely, husband.”

“It would be a bit much to go together, right?”

“If I did, that fairy would find out that I’m a demon, and you’d be in trouble, right?

Even now, I’m holding my breath as much as possible in case that fairy woman recognizes my energy.”

“So, you were going to do something lewd as usual, but you’re being careful in case your identity is revealed?”

“If you know, can you shut up?

Honestly, even now, I just want to pounce on you and devour you.”

Saying that, Lilith licked her red cherry-like lips with her tongue.

Her appearance was so dizzying and fascinating that Zion secretly sang the national anthem and tried hard to suppress his stubbornly growing thing.

“Even though I’m here, is there a reason why you brought that fairy woman to your side?”

“What if I say no?

What if I just called her because I wanted to seduce her?”

“Puhut.

You?

I’m sorry, but I know you’re not such a simple man.”

“…”

“Strangely enough, even though you’re human, you’re not very human-like.

You always move with a reason and to achieve a purpose.

Provoking the enemy, taking a woman, it’s not just because you feel like it.

It’s all for something in the future.

It’s like you know something and are preparing for it.”

Zion flinched for a moment at Lilith’s very sharp words.

He was worried that this woman might have found out something, but Zion immediately erased that anxiety from his mind.

He always kept in mind, both outside and here, that having unnecessary worries and anxieties would only reveal more gaps.

“Originally, those with good heads always act with a reason.”

“Sometimes that reason seems to be going too far ahead.”

“Would you believe me if I said I see the future?”

“Wow, I almost fell for it just now.

If you joke without changing your facial expression like that, I’ll really take it seriously.”

“I’m serious?”

At those words, Lilith looked at Zion with eyes that said, ‘Is this guy for real?’

Then, after thinking about how to tease this man in front of her, she immediately opened her mouth.

“Then how do I die?

You see the future, right?

What kind of end do I meet?”

Lilith’s end: she was seriously injured in a fight with Kim Yu-hyun, barely escaped, met the Celestial Race by chance, fought for a while, and was eventually subdued and killed.

It was a miserable end that didn’t suit her position as the highest-ranking demon, but the previous opponent was Kim Yu-hyun, a monster of the century, so it was a miracle that she even escaped alive.

That was Lilith’s end, the last moment she was originally supposed to face.

But Zion had no intention of letting go of Lilith, who was now his woman.

“You live happily with me and go very peacefully.”

Lilith was the one who was rather embarrassed by the answer that came out without a single second of hesitation.

Originally, humans have extremely short lifespans and weak bodies, so they die even if they make a small mistake.

Therefore, there is no other race that is as sensitive to and avoids the word ‘death’ as humans.

But this man, Zion Klausen, answered immediately without the slightest hesitation.

He declared as if he would change everything so that you would enjoy happiness by my side and die very comfortably.

“Uh… oh, I see.”

I wondered if I had joked for nothing, but it was strangely reassuring to have him answer so clearly.

At least I won’t die alone leaving that man behind, I can feel happiness to the fullest next to that man and close my eyes comfortably.

Thinking that way, Lilith was eager to knock this handsome man down on the bed and get on top of him right away.

‘Let’s be patient.

Still, I’m the legal wife, so I have to do my part.’

Taking a deep breath, Lilith struggled to move her hands, which were trembling slightly with excitement, and perfectly arranged Zion’s clothes.

“Roughly finish all your work today.”

“Huh?”

“Finish everything and lie down comfortably next to me.

No one will disturb you then.”

At Zion’s words, Lilith smiled brightly.

Really.

I wondered how a human could shake me, the queen of incubi, the succubus queen, so much, and I also thought that being handsome is always thrilling and new.

“Hurry back!”

Instead of saying that she was waiting, she conveyed it with her burning eyes, and Lilith saw Zion off.

Immediately after leaving the room, Zion went downstairs to greet Kim Yu-hyun, who would be waiting for him, and the guest he had invited.

“…No, so!

Please come properly dressed, how many times do I have to say it…!”

“This is force majeure [an unavoidable event]…”

“What force majeure!

What rudeness in a place to meet Zion-nim…!”

As he went down to the first floor, he heard Trisha’s voice and Kim Yu-hyun’s voice answering it from below.

‘Is he fearless, or is Kim Yu-hyun letting him off?’

Kim Yu-hyun tested the skills of those around Zion whenever he had time.

No, in fact, it was a legitimate beating time disguised as a test.

Lee Shion, Lucia, Ria, Trisha, and Zanne.

Sometimes even Lilith.

These four, or five, fought against Kim Yu-hyun whenever they had time, but each time they were mercilessly sunk and realized that Kim Yu-hyun was literally a monster.

If Lilith was there, she could endure to some extent, but Lilith had to save her magic power, so she couldn’t engage in battle properly, and Kim Yu-hyun focused his attacks more on the other four, who he had to unconditionally raise, rather than targeting her.

He was so persistent and ruthless that even Lucia, who had the best personality, grumbled.

In addition, even Zanne, who had a strong pride, gritted her teeth and growled that she was really frustrated to death.

‘A guy who was already strong is now even stronger than the original flow…’

The novel’s official certified monster, it was a natural result that if they ganged up on the protagonist who was covered in buffs, they would just get beaten up and lie down on the bare floor as a group.

It was thanks to the degree of his control that they were alive; if they were enemies, they might be mushy and slimy like crushed slimes.

Thanks to this, most of them were secretly afraid of Kim Yu-hyun, but for some reason, Trisha was treating Kim Yu-hyun more and more like her own brother.

In particular, the nagging part was a masterpiece; for example, if there was blood on his sword or clothes, she would endlessly attack him, saying what is this, what kind of ominous thing is this in front of Zion.

Kim Yu-hyun showed an inexplicable behavior of simply ignoring Trisha’s nagging without saying anything, or obediently changing his clothes and coming out.

‘Is even the almighty Kim Yu-hyun unable to handle middle school syndrome [a phase of rebellious behavior]?’

Thinking that it might be a fairly reasonable suspicion, Zion reached the main hall on the first floor.
