Transmigrated into the Gacha Game I Abandoned for 10 Years

“Hah…”

In fact, so far, Charyll had felt immense satisfaction simply by returning to Lartania as Kim Hyunwoo’s hero.

This was because, after sending Kim Hyunwoo away, it had been her dream to return as his hero, just like ten years ago.

…Of course, she had dreams beyond that, but the reason she could be satisfied in this state was sadly because she had already formed a definite thought about one fact.

The thought that ‘broken relationships cannot be mended’.

At least in Charyll’s view, once a relationship was strained, it could never return to its former state.

No matter how much they tried to return to the past, a twisted relationship shackled them with negativity and influenced those who sought to maintain it.

Thus, Charyll did not dare to wish for anything more.

Even when she heard that Merilda had spent the night with Kim Hyunwoo, a brief surge of jealousy had arisen but quickly subsided.

After that, when she heard that Rin had also spent a night with him, something heavier stirred within her heart than it had with Merilda, but she still held back.

No, it was amusing to say she had held back.

Simply put, even as she watched the two heroes in front of her thriving contrary to her thoughts, she remained frozen by fear and did nothing.

In fact, while she had made a decision watching the two heroes succeed, she planned to act much more slowly than others.

If she hadn’t heard about the Proposal Ring.

“Hah…”

Charyll sighed.

In fact, the reason she, who had been hesitating until now, suddenly gathered her resolve to advance her relationship with Kim Hyunwoo was that she had heard about the Ring.

More specifically, it was the news that Kim Hyunwoo intended to use the Ring, which had little time left.

Of course, Charyll had affection for him.

Until now, she had hidden her feelings out of fear, but she was confident that her affection for him was unmatched in Lartania.

After all, the reason she had ventured alone into the demon realm was to meet Kim Hyunwoo.

Thus, she decided to confess her feelings to Kim Hyunwoo.

Even if just thinking about it twisted her insides and led to gloomy thoughts, even if he didn’t choose her, she wanted to at least be one of his many options. ɌÅŊỘβÈŝ

At least now, Charyll wanted to create a glimmer of hope for herself.

‘So I’ve made my decision…’

Charyll wore a complicated expression.

‘What should I do first?’

It felt odd to say this, but the truth was, there was not a single person nearby who could help her.

While she could talk to Merilda and Rin, they were not helpful when it came to Kim Hyunwoo.

Asking the other heroes for help was not an option either, since she wasn’t particularly close with them, so Charyll was trying to prepare using all the knowledge she had.

‘This doesn’t seem right…’

Charyll made a strange face as she looked at what was laid out before her.

In front of her were scented candles that would release a sweet aroma when lit, along with various decorative items.

In the center, there was also a very elegant adult negligee that was quite eye-catching.

But Charyll instinctively felt that

this was lacking in some significant way.

Thus, after a while of contemplation, Charyll thought of something.

‘Ah…’

A sudden thought came to her mind.

The thought of the vulgar cosplay outfit that Rin had worn last time…

“Ugh…”

Charyll blushed deeply.

No matter how much of a demon she was, she was still an elf.

And not just any elf; she had been educated in a very proper sense of chastity.

…However, regardless of that, Charyll’s body was already moving outside.

Her desire to become an option for the Lord was that powerful.

---

A week had passed since Adria and Elena spent their first night with Kim Hyunwoo.

Nothing significant had occurred during that time, and the issue that had worried Adria the most was gradually fading away as time passed.

‘…I wonder how things regarding Rhien were resolved.’

In fact, the only reason it could fade away was that Kim Hyunwoo hadn’t had much interaction with Adria lately, which meant he hadn’t heard any recent news about Rhien.

‘Should I consider no news to be good news…?’

Knock knock—

As Kim Hyunwoo continued with that line of thought, a knock sounded.

It was Elena who entered with a simple permission.

“My Lord, I have a report for you.”

“…Was there something to report today? And isn’t it after work hours now?”

As he spoke while watching the sun slowly set,

“Yes. I thought it would be better to handle things as they come.”

Seeing Elena’s bright smile, Kim Hyunwoo nodded awkwardly and began to listen to her report.

…Recently, the dynamics had changed slightly, as Elena and the other heroes had become more aggressive in their advances toward Kim Hyunwoo.

For instance, Elena had increased her reports from once a day to as many as five times, consistently visiting him.

Was that all?

“I’ve finished the report…but you look really tired, My Lord.”

“Is that so? I haven’t been sleeping well lately.”

“I see. You might not be able to sleep at all with me around.”

“……”

Recently, she had begun making sexual innuendos.

Of course, while her innuendos were not overly explicit, Elena’s subtle winks and flushed face clearly indicated that she was making advances.

Additionally, Rin had been frequently coming in to offer massages in the office lately.

As for Merilda, she didn’t come by often, but last time she had suggested conducting an experiment to see if animals felt more secure beneath their owner’s feet.

…And after that, Kim Hyunwoo had not been able to get up from his desk for about three hours.

‘That was a close call.’

At the time Merilda was at his desk, Elena and the necromancer of the Blue Forest, Aria, had come in to report and play with him, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he had managed to keep calm and act as if nothing was wrong, avoiding detection, but Merilda’s strong advances had left him sweating even now.

“Ah, by the way, My Lord, have you heard about the strange rumors circulating lately?”

Just as he was thinking that, he heard Elena’s voice.

“Rumors? Are they about something inside Lartania?”

“No, it’s not that. It’s external rumors, but they seem a bit too significant to ignore.”

“Rumors we can’t ignore?”

When Kim Hyunwoo tilted his head in confusion, Elena continued.

“Yes, I’ve heard that the Great Northern Tribe has been destroyed.”

“…The Great Northern Tribe?”

While it was true that he hadn’t been aware of the Great Northern Tribe during his time in Arteil, he did know they possessed significant power.

“…Was it destroyed in a fight with another nation?”

“No, they say it was defeated by the ‘black ones’.”

“…The black ones?”

“Yes, I’ve heard they’re some kind of monster, and the problem is that these creatures have been moving south, destroying noble territories one by one.”

“That certainly sounds…like an anomaly.”

“Yes, I’ve heard that already three territories have been destroyed, and this rumor has been circulating widely among mercenaries.”

“……”

Kim Hyunwoo nodded thoughtfully at Elena’s words.

Ding—

“…Huh?”

[The Mysterious Merchant has been detained.]

He looked at the notification window that suddenly appeared before him.

---

Just as Kim Hyunwoo was reading the notification window,

In the office of the Mage Tower branch in Lartania, the current heroes, River and Shadra, who had first teamed up with Merilda on the night she spent with Kim Hyunwoo, were gathered.

Normally, Elena should have been here too, but she had stopped coming since a week ago.

She had already achieved her goal.

However, both Shadra and River knew they couldn’t exactly blame her.

After all, they had been the ones to start meeting secretly first.

…In the end, they had tried to proceed with plans excluding Elena, only to find themselves in a humorous situation where she had outmaneuvered them, but naturally, they did not give up.

No, rather, they spent a considerable amount of time thoroughly completing their plans.

And then.

“…When shall we set the execution date?”

“Let’s set it for three days from now.”

“Understood.”

The execution date was set.
