Running the Romance Fantasy Novel with Baby-nim’s Cash – Episode 292

☆ Chapter 292 ☆

Liriel smiled at those words.

“Well, I’d like to play with you a little longer, too.”

As she spoke, the floor trembled.

An ominous tremor.

The moment Ruatisha tensed, sure enough, the building began to collapse.

“Unfortunately, it looks like it’ll be difficult this time.”

Leaving only those words, Liriel’s body scattered.

“……!”

The moment Ruatisha tried to chase Liriel’s scattering figure.

“Dangerous, jjak!”

Hermes Jjak flew up, flapping its wings.

It was a small flap, but the effect was great. The wind from the flapping blew away the collapsing ceiling.

Ruatisha clicked her tongue.

‘It’s impossible to chase Liriel in this situation.’

More than anything, the evil energy inside Crescentio’s body hasn’t been completely purified yet.

“I’m counting on you!”

“Leave it to me, jjak!”

Hermes Jjak soared high above the hole in the ceiling and began to descend vertically from the high point.

A majestic figure like a bird of prey.

Feeling the energy of the spirit swirling and forming a barrier in the space, Ruatisha approached Crescentio.

“Shouldn’t you chase after her?”

“There’s something more important.”

Besides, she couldn’t chase after her anyway.

The evil energy was so thick here that it was difficult to trace Liriel’s whereabouts.

Ruatisha placed her hand on Crescentio’s chest.

“Stay still.”

At the same time, the power of Pasa began to flow from Ruatisha’s hand.

Crescentio, who was quietly watching the power dwelling within him, opened his mouth.

“……Wasn’t that power left to kill Liriel?”

“I was going to use some of the power of Pasa the moment Liriel appeared, but first of all, it’s true that I left it for you.”

“…….”

“Why are you looking at me like that? I have priorities too, you know?”

If she used the power of Pasa to the extreme, she would be so exhausted that she couldn’t do anything.

Since protecting and recovering Crescentio was the priority, the power of Pasa had to be saved as a last resort.

‘……It’s not easy after all.’

Ruatisha closed her mouth and focused on using the power of Pasa.

Sweat began to bead on her forehead.

A more focused look than when she was fighting, wielding her tremendous aura.

‘……I was in that priority.’

Crescentio quietly watched her and thought.

A strange sensation, as if something was stuck in his throat.

He could neither swallow it nor spit it out, but simply held it in.

The evil energy that had been twisting and stirring inside his body was washed away cleanly with a refreshing energy.

It was as soft and delicate, yet strong, as Ruatisha’s hand touching his chest.

Crescentio suddenly opened his mouth.

“I didn’t particularly think about sacrificing myself.”

“…….”

“If things continue like this, this world will be destroyed. So I just did what I could.”

“…….”

“I didn’t do anything for you in particular either. It’s just that you’re the only one who can wield the power of Pasa.”

Eventually, Ruatisha raised her head and looked at Crescentio.

“Why do you keep making excuses?”

“It’s not an excuse.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

“It’s really not.”

“Okay.”

Saying that, Ruatisha lowered her head again.

Crescentio, who saw a faint smile on her lips, frowned as if he was displeased.

“You’re such an annoying human being.”

“Yeah.”

“I told you. Don’t come any closer.”

“You didn’t say that because you really hated it, did you?”

“I really hate it.”

Ruatisha didn’t answer. She just focused on purifying the evil energy.

Crescentio snatched Ruatisha’s hand away.

He was somehow impatient and couldn’t stand it.

Ruatisha’s body leaned completely towards Crescentio.

When her eyes, wide with surprise, looked at him, his impatience seemed to lessen a little.

“You—.”

Crescentio’s face was expressionless as he looked at Ruatisha.

“—You don’t even know why I came here properly.”

Crescentio reached out his hand.

The large hand covered Ruatisha’s face.

Ruatisha had no reaction.

However, the Paraiba-colored [a vibrant blue] eyes visible through the gaps in his fingers…

“…….”

Crescentio couldn’t take his eyes off those eyes.

Like the highest sky, like the clearest sea—.

Wide enough to contain everything, and clean enough to illuminate everything.

A pure white hand overlapped the back of Crescentio’s hand.

Ruatisha removed Crescentio’s hand covering her face and said.

“Just say thank you.”

Crescentio stared blankly at Ruatisha, as if he had been hit on the back of the head.

“I don’t know exactly why you came, but I know it’s for me.”

“……!”

“Well, so I can’t help it. I’ll protect you in the future too.”

Ruatisha grinned.

“Because you’re weak.”

At those words, Crescentio opened his mouth.

“That’s……! I’m not weak at all!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

“It’s just that I had no choice but to become like that because of the forced manifestation! Unlike the demonkin bastards, I also created a background as a human! And even now, highly precise divine power is being consumed there! If it were the original me, I would never have been defeated like that just now!”

“I see~.”

“I’m definitely—.”

Crescentio stopped talking.

“Do you think being with someone like that will help save this world from destruction?”

When he asked that, Ruatisha’s eyes did not waver.

She was just embarrassed that someone else knew Cain’s identity, but her belief in Cain was unwavering.

“Why do you keep him by your side, knowing that he will be a weakness?”

He asked as if grabbing at straws.

“Because he has advantages that outweigh that weakness.”

“Of course it helps. At least he’s much more helpful than you.”

Ruatisha was firm.

‘……This makes it even clearer. She likes a demonkin more than me…….’

Ruatisha looked at Crescentio, who suddenly turned his head away, with a puzzled expression.

‘Why is he acting like that?’

At that moment, Crescentio reached out his hand towards Ruatisha. A bright light burst from his fingertips.

Powerful divine power.

Ruatisha felt a warm power seeping into her.

The throbbing arms and legs became lighter, and the wounds disappeared without a trace.

Not only that, but her stomach warmed up and her mind began to stabilize.

Where else could there be a power that could have such an immediate effect on another person’s body and mind?

‘……This is the divine power of the Celestial Race.’

It was indeed a tremendous power.

Crescentio was still turned away from Ruatisha.

Ruatisha greeted the back of his head.

“Thank you.”

Crescentio, who paused, finally turned his head and looked at Ruatisha.

Seeing her face smiling brightly and purely without a trace of shadow, his stomach twisted.

Why was she so injured in the first place?

“……Annoying human.”

“You’re the annoying one, jjak!”

Hermes Jjak, who had completed a solid nest, pecked at the top of Crescentio’s head, squawking.

“Annoying.”

Crescentio frowned and shot divine power at Hermes Jjak.

Hermes Jjak, who was tired from making the nest, happily relaxed in the divine power.

“I’m telling you clearly because you’re misunderstanding. I definitely didn’t move for you.”

Ruatisha scratched Hermes Jjak’s feathers and let out a faint sigh.

‘It seems like I’ll need the power of the Celestial Race to face Kiyas Edel.’

Even after going through something like this together, why is he still so prickly?

Looking back, the Celestial Realm has never liked her.

‘Recently, they said they were disappointed in my actions.’

She glanced at Crescentio, and his eyes were sulky.

‘No, why is he so sulky?’

The Celestial Race has a noble pride, so is that why?

Is he the type who, if you help him, his pride is hurt and his favorability goes into the negatives?

‘If you’re a Celestial, you’re an angel. Shouldn’t angels be kind, gentle, nice, and grant wishes? But he’s as picky as a princess who can’t sleep because there’s a pea under her mattress.’

‘I’m not interested either.’

It was when Ruatisha pouted and turned her head.

Something caught her eye.

Shashashak, shashashak.

Long antennae moving disgustingly.

Come to think of it, this was a collapsed building.

“A cockroach!”

“Oh, where?! Eek!”

Ruatisha immediately stepped on the cockroach and crushed it to death.

After confirming the kill, she paused.

Hadn’t she just heard a scream?

‘And what is this huge body clinging to my back?’

Crescentio, hiding behind Ruatisha, asked in a frightened voice.

“D-Did you catch it?”

“……Yeah.”

At those words, Crescentio’s eyes filled with emotion.

The eyes looking at Ruatisha were like those looking at a savior of life and a hero who saved the world.

‘……He seems more moved than when I saved him from Clatie’s hands earlier?’

It was then.

Something popped up in front of Ruatisha’s eyes.

* * *

[The Celestial Realm is impressed by your brave martial prowess, Reader!]

Huh?

[Instantly defeated a lower version of the infamous Teacher B! The Celestial Realm is moved!]

[The Celestial Realm shows great favor to the Reader!]

[From now on, the Celestial Realm will be a strong ally of the Reader!]

[The Celestial Realm is convinced of the Reader.]

[Celestial Realm: There’s no way the B-slayer would like a demonkin! We misunderstood!]

[Here’s a quick fact!]

[We’ll tell you the Celestial Race formula.]

[B=Dirty, unclean, and filthy=Demonkin]

“…….”

It was absurd.

They were quiet when I saved Crescentio.

They’re reacting like this just because I killed a cockroach?

[Catching a co…… is understandable enough!]

[It’s not just any bug, it’s a co……!]

‘You can’t catch cockroaches either? Are you scared?’

[Eek!]

[Don’t say its full name!]

‘…….’

It’s not like he’s someone whose name can’t be called.

I could feel him being disgusted even in the text.

‘Why are all the people around me—well, not people—but all the creatures around me like this?’

Ruatisha felt a question and a deep sense of skepticism.

‘Is the only normal person me?’

It was then.

[Important!]

[You have established friendly relations with the Celestial Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Spirit Beast Realm!]

[These are transcendent beings who do not cooperate with each other, but if it is the Reader’s will, they will eventually join forces.]

[This is the first great achievement that no one has ever accomplished!]

[Congratulations!]

[You can level up your traits!]

‘Level up!’

I clenched my fist tightly.

It was then.

“Wow—.”

A voice that shouldn’t be heard here was heard.

Turning around, Cain smiled and clapped languidly, clap, clap, clap.

“For someone who’s supposed to be from the Celestial Race to be so scared of a cockroach that they’re trembling.”

“It’s not that I’m scared, it’s just that I avoid it because it’s dirty.”

Crescentio said, grinding his teeth with an arrogant face.

“Unlike you demonkin, we stay away from such disgusting, dirty, filthy, and unclean things.”

“Huh? I think we’re better than those hypocritical bastards who look down on us as they please. We’re just honest with our instincts.”

Spark.

Sparks flew between the demonkin and the Celestial Race.

‘Wow, I expected it, but they really don’t get along.’

“Cain.”

“Yeah, nice to see you.”

At my call, Cain smiled and snuggled up to me.

He buried his nose in my neck and frowned as if he was displeased.

“It smells bad.”

“You’re the one who smells bad.”

Crescentio pulled me towards him.

“Hee, do you really want to die?”

“Want to try it? See who dies.”

Hmm.

“Before that, you’ll both die by my hands.”

I flicked both of them on the forehead.

Tak, tak!

Peace came after they both had huge bumps on their foreheads.

Good.

“How did you get here?”

At my question, Cain shrugged as if asking the obvious.

“I seduced a woman.”

“…….”

“She spilled the beans.”

“……You dirty bastard.”

Crescentio muttered as if he was displeased.

This time, I only flicked Cain on the forehead.
