I Lost My Memory and Had Too Many S-Class Girlfriends

184 – Accept the Uninvited Guest (Complete)

Edeline Paul Charlotte.

He is a symbolic figure representing the Seongcheon Church.

He is also a returnee and can be said to be the center of the current Seongcheon Church.

Since she seized power in the Seongcheon Church, she has hunted down numerous people with abilities.

He became powerful by stealing useful abilities and giving them to his subordinates.

Thanks to this, I was able to create a lot of powerful confidants.

Edelin continued to build up strength.

Using that power, he advanced towards conquering the tower.

Thanks to the knowledge of the future, which can be considered a privilege of the regressor, I was able to break through the tower without much difficulty.

It was common sense that significant damage would follow when attacking a stratum, but the Seongcheon Church did not suffer any significant casualties.

Moreover, it was an unprecedented achievement to advance into the unconquered stratum once every few weeks.

The members of the Seongcheon Church looked up to Edelin and called her a prophet or visionary. Some even praised her as the daughter of God.

There was no failure for Edelin, and there was always a reward.

While conquering the tower, he distributed countless treasures, relics, elixirs, items, etc. without any particular care.

In a way, it was natural that people would follow Edelin.

But what kind of person is Edelin to me?

There is no need to think about it carefully.

Because every time I see Edelin, I feel only one emotion.

Awkwardness.

I found this human named Edelin annoying.

There was nothing particularly wrong, but I couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling from the first time we met.

When I first met Edelin before the regression, she approached me with a gentle smile and said this in a cheerful voice.

– I am your fan.

It could be said that it was truly absurd.

But I couldn’t help but nod silently at the unknown emotion I felt from Edeline’s smile.

Why is Edelin looking at me with such a longing and wistful look?

I really couldn’t figure it out, but I left my uneasy feelings behind and climbed the tower with Edeline.

It was not the time to be picky about what was hot and what was cold, so I decided to use Edelin to my heart’s content, regardless of what she thought of me.

Edelin always smiled quietly and supported me firmly, while Yerin glared at me with a slightly dissatisfied look on her face and secretly ground her teeth, but did not reject me directly.

This is because Yerin knew very well that receiving Edelin’s help would be beneficial in many ways in conquering the tower.

In fact, the help from Edelin and the Seongcheon Church was very helpful.

If Edelin hadn’t been there, it would have taken even longer.

Edeline was very helpful and at times, her actions seemed almost selfless. I was grateful enough for her appearance, but apart from that, whenever I saw Edeline with her always smiling face, I couldn’t help but feel a strange feeling.

What kind of thoughts and feelings are hidden behind that beautiful smile?

Although she didn’t show it on the outside, what I could vaguely realize was that the feelings I felt from Edelin were somewhat sinister and twisted.

And it was only after I returned that I was able to truly understand what Edelin’s laughter meant.

Because Edeline… … .

***

“It’s been a while.”

Long time no see.

Yeah, it’s been a while.

To regain my memories and see Edelin’s face properly.

“How do you feel now that you’ve regained your memories?”

Edeline asked me a question in a calm voice with a very beautiful smile, and I instinctively gripped my sword tightly.

My fingers were clenched.

If I attack Edelin now, will I be able to kill her?

It was a fleeting moment, but a very dangerous thought crossed my mind.

It was a distance that could be covered in one go.

If you roll your feet quickly, you will be able to cut off Edelin’s head in one breath.

While I was thinking like that.

“……you.”

A girl slowly appeared next to Edeline.

“… … Don’t have any strange thoughts.”

It was Charlotte Lesberry.

She was glaring at me with her green hair, braided in many strands, fluttering in the wind.

The look reminded me of the fierce gaze of a mother bird protecting her chicks. Her eyelids were half-closed, but she couldn’t hide her murderous intent. The murderous intent of a bird of prey swept over me.

“You know what will happen if you… act… recklessly, right…?”

He speaks sleepily, spitting out words intermittently.

It sounded a bit harsh, but the momentum was real.

He only threatened me in a low voice, but my hair stood on end and my legs sagged. He was pressuring me with an intimidating aura that was incomparable to before, because he had regained his memories.

“Why are you looking at me like that? It’s burdensome.”

I smiled and laughed with a relaxed expression.

“Isn’t that a more murderous look than when you lost your eyes?”

“… … .”

“Oh, right. You couldn’t look at me properly because you had one eye missing, right? I forgot.”

“……you.”

Charlotte bit her lower lip with an indignant expression, as if the unexpected provocation had worked. She then pulled out a sharp knife from her bosom.

“You… … really want to die… … ?”

Just as Charlotte was about to growl in frustration, a man placed a hand on her shoulder to stop her.

“shallot.”

It’s a very large palm.

If I exaggerate a little, it seems bigger than Charlotte’s head.

I looked at the man carefully.

The man is wearing a robe painted with teratological patterns.

That man was looking at me indifferently… … .

‘Camelot Britannia.’

The Grand Master of the Seongcheon Church.

Currently serving as Edelin’s escort.

His skills are ranked among the top ten in the world.

Camelot’s abilities are quite unique.

It could be said to be simple but powerful.

His ability is conceptual complex ability.

You can mix the concepts of yourself and things.

For example, assuming that we mix the concept of ‘spear’ with ‘spear’, Camelot can become sharp like a spear, hard like a spear, or elongated like a spear if it wants to.

You can choose the pros and cons of things according to your taste.

Also, you can mix not only one thing, but also multiple things if you want.

‘It’s a somewhat desirable ability, but… … .’

Even if mixed with a sword made of steel, it would be stronger than the average ability user.

That would be the case, because if it is as durable as steel, sharp as a sword, and doesn’t tire, then even those with comparable abilities would be no match for it.

Furthermore, since the current Camelot receives as many treasures and relics as it wants from the Holy Heavenly Order, fighting Camelot is essentially the same as fighting living, breathing treasures.

Camelot, known as the Living Treasure, the Immovable Knight, etc., was one of the highest-level abilities of the Seongcheon Church.

“… … .”

I looked over their faces.

The three people who could be called Edelin’s closest associates gathered together.

10th Charlotte, Executor Laurent, Grand Master of the Knights Camelot… … .

It would be nearly impossible to fight them and win with individual strength.

Even if he is ranked number one in the world, it would be difficult to even escape, let alone win.

Didn’t Charlotte just easily defeat three S-rank users?

In fact, he could be seen as an all-star and elite member of the current Sungcheon Church.

A head-on collision would be tantamount to suicide.

Besides, I am not at my prime right now.

I turned my head and spoke to Edeline, who was waiting with a smile on her face.

“Edeline.”

“oh.”

She covers her lips with her hand as if slightly surprised, but then smiles bashfully.

“I regained my memories, but you still call me Edelin?”

What a happy face.

“Why did you let me regain my memories? It wouldn’t be of much benefit to you, no matter how great your powers are.”

“What do you mean?”

Edelin tilted her head, her eyes slightly raised above her head.

“I didn’t do anything. Didn’t Seojun regain his memories on his own?”

I’m getting rid of the stigma.

“By the way, Seojun. How can you come here so carelessly?”

Edeline smiles mischievously.

“You even touch our believers like this.”

Edelin was looking at the fallen believers with a rather pitiful look in her eyes, but the emotion felt in her eyes was not pity, but joy.

She’s having fun while her subordinates are rolling around, ra… … That woman Edelin is definitely not in her right mind.

“If you do this, I can’t just let you go. I have my own position, too.”

“Everyone is alive.”

After being subdued rather roughly and having his abilities absorbed, he was half-conscious and half-asleep, but he was definitely breathing.

“Charlotte caused a ruckus at the Clan House, so can you please let her off easy?”

“Hmm~. Well?”

Edeline scratches her cheek with a troubled expression.

“No matter what, I don’t think I can let you go for that reason. Isn’t that right, Charlotte?”

Charlotte immediately nodded.

“Edelin… … Let’s catch her now. Don’t cause any trouble later… … .”

“What, can I hold on to you? You should have said something earlier. I was getting beaten up for nothing.”

Charlotte and Laurent immediately prepare for battle.

“Really? Then… … .”

It seems like Edelin is curious about what I will do. If that’s the case, then there’s nothing I can do. I guess I’ll just go along with it for now.

“… … How about this?”

I looked at the fallen members of the Sungcheon Church and snapped my fingers.

With a “thud!” sound, the members of the Sungcheon Church began to tremble and then soon started spitting out foam.

He was gasping for breath and his limbs were trembling.

“what……?”

“It’s poison, poison.”

Charlotte’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“……poison?”

“Uh. I prepared a little bit just in case.”

I answered Charlotte’s question obediently and then shrugged my shoulders calmly and looked at Edeline.

Edelin was looking at the believers of the Sungcheon Church with a worried face, but as someone who had been with Edelin for quite some time, I could tell that the emotion embedded in that expression was not worry or sadness, but joy.

“Are you saying that if we don’t let you go, you will kill our believers?”

“huh.”

“Then there’s nothing I can do.”

Edeline nodded with a calm face.

Laurent grumbled in discontent.

“What? Are you really going to let me go?”

That crazy b*tch doesn’t seem to care whether the Sungcheon Church members die or not.

By the way, I heard that when Edelin seized power, the one who was at the forefront of slaughtering people was Laurent.

It seemed like he wasn’t the type of person to care much about anyone other than those he recognized.

“… … You didn’t do things like this when you lost your memories.”

Charlotte muttered, frowning.

Unlike Laurent, who didn’t care whether his colleagues died or not, Charlotte cared quite a bit.

In fact, I still remember him glaring at me with resentment when several of his colleagues were killed because of me.

“Okay, Seojun. Right now, the lives of the believers are more important than capturing Seojun.”

“Good choice.”

“Saint? Really? It would be shameful to leave alone someone who came in without permission and caused trouble. My children were also hurt.”

“But the lives of the believers are being held hostage? Isn’t it inevitable?”

“Hey. If it were normal, Your Majesty, you wouldn’t care about such things… … .”

“Laurent.”

Only when Edelin called his name in a slightly lower voice did Laurent shut his mouth tightly with an ‘Oops’ expression on his face.

“Please, Laurent. Don’t human lives come first?”

“Oh, yes. That’s right. I’m sorry, Saintess.”

Laurent quickly apologized, scratching the back of his neck and looking slightly embarrassed.

“Then shall we stop here for today?”

“okay.”

“Seojun, it was nice meeting you today. Let’s talk more properly next time.”

“I would like to ask you now, but the circumstances don’t allow for it, so I’ll put it off until later.”

There were many things I was curious about and wanted to ask, but today was not the time.

“Yes. And I will give you the treasures and relics you took from the treasure vault today as gifts.”

“Should I say thank you?”

“But I’ll only let you off this once. I won’t be able to let you off next time. As you know, I have my own position.”

“I know.”

Edeline and I looked at each other.

“Then I’ll be going now. See you next time.”

“yes.”

“Oh, right. I had a question. Can I ask you one question?”

“What is it?”

“Just… … um.”

I slowly moved my lips.

“How many times is this?”

“yes?”

“Which number is this?”

“… … .”

Today, for the first time, Edelin’s expression became stiff.

“I was wondering if it was true, but after seeing your face, I guess it’s true.”

“Mr. Seojun… … .”

I laughed blandly.

Edelin was more insane than I thought.

If what Edelin wanted was what I thought, then she really couldn’t be considered sane. Even more so than Laurent.

“Then I’ll really go.”

With those words, I used the space jump to escape the Seongcheon Church.

Just before I left the Seongcheon Church, I glanced back and saw Edelin staring at me with an expressionless face.
