‘It went up more than I expected?’

I hadn’t been paying attention to my level for a while, but when I checked my status window, it had increased by a whopping six levels.

Considering that after level 60, even defeating late-game field mobs or bosses didn’t guarantee a level up, it was a significant increase.

‘……I’m not sure if this is the correct amount.’

It felt like my level had increased too much compared to the number of field mobs and bosses I had defeated.

Even I didn’t memorize the experience points gained from defeating every monster. That wasn’t information that helped with the game, it was just useless information.

It might be different for speedruns, but even then, it was only limited to the sections you had to clear for the speedrun. I had already come too far to backtrack and calculate the experience points.

The main story had lost its meaning a long time ago, and I wasn’t progressing through the areas step by step.

I was teleporting directly to the locations where I needed to obtain equipment and runes.

‘Well, it’s better to have more than less.’

I decided not to worry about it. It wasn’t like my level had decreased, and if it had increased more than it should have, that was a good thing for me. So there was no need to rack my brains over the reason.

‘It’s more productive to think about what stats to invest in.’

It was a question I always asked myself when allocating stat points, but there was an even bigger reason to be cautious now. It was because of what had happened in the Holy Kingdom.

The fact that the god of the Holy Kingdom had actually lent me their power.

It didn’t matter whether the voice that had answered my questions was the sun or the moon.

The important thing was that the god of the Holy Kingdom had been watching over me and had granted me their power.

‘……I’m wondering if I should switch to a cleric build.’

If I could utilize the power I had used against the Creature Abandoned by God and Behemoth in other situations as well, my journey would become much easier.

Holy attacks were effective in almost every situation.

After a final moment of contemplation, I made up my mind and finished allocating my stat points.

‘……If I invest more in faith and my faith increases, will they help me more?’

With that impure thought in mind, I removed my hand from the stat-checking orb and exited the castle.

The Dark Starry Night Knights were busily carrying materials to the location where the warehouse would be built.

It felt a little strange seeing the bunny girls and reverse bunny girls carrying logs that were thicker than my thighs and several times my height, two at a time.

‘Why are they working in those outfits?’

Couldn’t they wear something more comfortable? It wasn’t like this world lacked casual clothing.

“Ah, Commander.”

The members, twitching their bunny ears and tails and wiggling their buttocks, greeted me with a light bow. Their bunny ears also bent 90 degrees along with their bow.

I wondered how their bunny ears, which were clearly headbands, could move. When I asked, they simply replied,

“Because bunny girls should be able to do that.”

“How’s the construction going?”

“Yes, Vice-Commander Lakscia is diligently supervising. The expansion should be completed within this week.”

The Lakscia they were referring to was also dressed as a reverse bunny girl. She had apparently been supervising the construction since I had left to find Fetch.

‘I wonder what Fetch is doing now. She’ll be able to find it, right?’

When I had ordered her to find the golden key, Fetch had initially protested, saying how could she find something she didn’t even know about. But after I stared at her intently, she quickly gave in.

She probably knew that refusing me wouldn’t end well for her.

The golden key I had mentioned was a key that could unlock any lock once, regardless of its type. Whether it was made by humans, found in ancient ruins, or created by monsters.

It actually had that function in the game as well.

Any puzzle or lock could be bypassed by consuming the golden key. And just as the description stated, it would break after being used.

‘It’s not an essential item, but it’s definitely helpful to have.’

I had given her plenty of time.

Unlike Wingless Nightmare, it wasn’t an essential item for progressing through the story, so there was no need to rush her.

“Ah, and Vice-Commander Lakscia asked me to tell you that the letters have been sent.”

“Really? I should get a response soon.”

The ‘letters’ referred to two things.

One was the ring I had obtained from the Aracnae boss fight a long time ago and had been neglecting ever since, which I had sent to the Pratroid family.

The other was the scroll I had obtained from the ancient ruins, which I had sent to Minerva.

‘She’ll just examine it for a while and then leave it alone, right? She’s busy researching the Crystal Scroll right now.’

I was a little worried about Minerva’s reaction, but she wouldn’t show the same manic behavior as when she had received the Crystal Scroll.

Compared to ancient scrolls like the Crystal Scroll, it was clearly a lower-tier item.

“Then, we’ll get back to work.”

The bunny girls wiggled their buttocks as they left. Left alone, I thought about what to do next and then came up with a good idea.

‘Since I’m here, I might as well complete the rune set.’

I was still missing one rune for my final build. And I also needed to obtain the Battle Fatigue negation rune, which I had been meaning to get for a while.

‘First……’

I needed to obtain the Rune Removal spell.

I thought about Minerva’s ring, which I had stored in a drawer, and headed back inside the castle. It seemed like I would finally be using it.

Imperial Palace hallway.

Lize, having finished giving a brief report to Cecilia, was returning to the Silver Dawn Knights’ quarters. Her silver armor clanked with each step.

Outwardly, her gait was dignified, but her thoughts were completely different.

‘Next time, I should visit him with Iris. Or would it be better to go with Erica?’

She was contemplating whether to take Iris or Erica with her the next time she visited Delta.

The purpose was obvious.

She had been quite surprised when Iris had confessed that she seemed to like Delta, but she had quickly come to terms with it and had even comforted the flustered Iris.

Lize was very open-minded when it came to her man’s relationships with other women.

If he had tried to replace her with another woman, she would have definitely opposed it, but the Delta she knew wasn’t that kind of man.

Besides, in this world, polygamy was perfectly acceptable as long as there was a valid reason. Although finding a valid reason was incredibly difficult, she had no doubt that Delta would be able to do it.

And Lize had never intended to monopolize Delta in the first place.

‘……I wonder if Delta would like to do it with all of us together. He’s a bit too much for me to handle alone.’

The thought of her and the other three Knight Commanders of the Silver Dawn Knights all sleeping with Delta at the same time suddenly popped into her head.

She didn’t know what the other Knight Commanders would think, but it wasn’t a bad idea for Lize.

They were all practically family now, beyond just friends. So sharing the same man would help strengthen their bond.

‘I’ll suggest it to Iris, Erica will come around on her own, and Claudia… hmm…’

Lize, having casually finished her fantasy that would have horrified or amused Erica and Claudia, concluded that it wasn’t a bad idea.

Honestly, she was finding it a little difficult to handle Delta alone, but if the four of them did it together, she thought they might be able to manage.

‘I should try to persuade Erica first.’

Although Erica would never admit it, the sisters were quite similar in many ways.

The only real differences were their appearance and personality. Those two differences were just very significant.

And the similarities between sisters extended to their taste in men.

In other words, if the older sister, Lize, had fallen for Delta, the younger sister, Erica, was also very likely to fall for the same man, even with just a small push.

It would usually lead to a disastrous relationship. But for Lize, who was willing to share the same man, it was a good thing. Delta wouldn’t refuse either.

‘Sleeping with sisters at the same time… how wonderful.’

Lize walked briskly, thinking about how to persuade her younger sister.

“……What are you doing here?”

She encountered a golden figure walking towards her from the other end of the hallway.

“What are you doing here at this hour?”

It was the Knight Commander of the Golden Twilight Knights.

Her cheerful mood instantly soured at the sight of the golden armor. The rumors surrounding that man were getting worse and worse.

It was just a rumor, but it was said that he would now lash out at his subordinates at the slightest provocation.

He hadn’t done that before, so it seemed like the fact that the Silver Dawn Knights had regained their position, while his own Knights had been halved, was making him even more irritable.

The sense of emptiness and loss felt when something was taken away was always greater than never having had it in the first place.

“You were coming from that bastard’s place, weren’t you?”

The golden armor, having approached Lize, spoke. The voice echoed ominously from within the helmet.

“That bastard? Watch your mouth. Who are you to call Delta that? Didn’t you get beaten enough during the duel?”

Lize snapped, but the golden armor ignored her words. Instead, it simply glared at her through the narrow slit of the helmet.

She instinctively fiddled with the dagger at her waist. That action alone was incredibly rude, enough to warrant a formal complaint.

Of course, she had only touched her hand to the dagger. This was the Imperial Palace, not a place where she could act on her emotions.

So, placing her hand on the dagger was just a warning.

“…….”

Even with that reaction, the golden armor remained unfazed and continued to stare at Lize. Then, it bumped her shoulder and walked past. The armor clanked sharply.

Lize turned around with a bewildered expression. The golden armor continued down the hallway, its armor clanking.

“Has he finally lost it?”

Lize muttered as she watched the golden figure disappear around the corner, and then turned back. A sane person would only lose if they tried to reason with a madman.

She would have to file a formal complaint with the Golden Twilight Knights when she returned to her quarters.

Crack!

“What the—?”

Lize looked down at her armor, annoyed by the sudden cracking sound. The left shoulder, where she had been bumped by the golden armor, was cracked like a spiderweb.

Lize’s expression hardened as she gently touched the damaged area.
