Transmigrated into the Gacha Game I Abandoned for 10 Years

A few hours away from Lartania.

“Wow, we finished earlier than I thought.”

“Yeah, right~”

“Honestly, I was worried it might drag on again, but they surrendered the moment we arrived… I wonder how they even managed to start a coup.”

“Exactly.”

The Five Swords of Calan had just completed their mission and were leisurely making their way back to Lartania.

“Loriel, don’t you think so too?”

“Hmm, well, there’s definitely some truth to that.”

Loriel nodded in agreement with the other Swords.

As they said, the suppression of the rebellion in the Calan Kingdom, which they thought might take longer, ended more easily and quickly than expected.

As soon as the Five Swords of Calan arrived, the rebels scattered and fell apart, leaving them only to capture the instigator.

Thanks to that, the Five Swords finished their mission within days and were now chatting idly as they returned to Lartania.

At that moment, Rin seemed to recall something and spoke up.

“Oh, by the way, Loriel.”

“…What is it?”

“I was wondering what happened with that Beastman.”

“Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden? Beastman?”

Loriel tilted her head, confused by the question, but Rin grinned as if she already knew everything.

“Did you really think we wouldn’t notice? You and that Red-Eyed King were exchanging such sweet looks. You never even make eye contact with us, let alone that.”

“That was purely coincidence-”

“Coincidentally making eye contact dozens of times while on duty together?”

As Loriel glared at Rin silently, she raised both hands, as if to say she wasn’t teasing.

“Sorry if I upset you, but seriously, isn’t there something going on? You’re never like this.”

“…Don’t worry about it. There’s nothing significant going on. And instead of focusing on me, we should be more concerned about Master.”

“Oh, you’ve got a point.”

Rin nodded in agreement, and so did the rest of the Five Swords, acknowledging her point.

In fact, just as Loriel said, the Five Swords had a request to make of Kim Hyunwoo upon returning, who had promised them any reward they wanted as long as it wasn’t too excessive.

“Indeed, if Master doesn’t arrange things in that way, he’s the type who can’t act on his own.”

“Yeah… It’d be great if he could just figure it out.”

“I agree with that.”

“But what can we do? He’s our Master, after all.”

“He definitely needs our help.”

The Five Swords each murmured about the request they would make to Kim Hyunwoo as they returned.

“Well, for now, let’s hurry back. We need to report the current situation quickly, and since Master and the other heroes have been brought into Lartania, it’s best if we make this request as soon as possible.”

With Loriel’s words, the Five Swords quickened their pace toward Lartania.

---

A few hours later, the Five Swords arrived earlier than expected.

“…Master?”

Even though Rin had been recruited into Lartania, she was sitting crouched on the ground, looking devastated.

“…Ah.”

Seeing this, Loriel instinctively realized that Master had missed something important.

That afternoon.

“We’ve successfully handled the coup in the Calan Kingdom. The King said she would contact you directly.”

Kim Hyunwoo spoke as he received the report from the Five Swords who had completed their mission.

“You’ve all done well.”

“No, as we mentioned, the situation was easier than expected.”

Loriel spoke as their representative.

“But still, work is work. So, is there anything you all want? I’ll do my best to fulfill your wishes, as long as it’s not too much.”

Kim Hyunwoo nodded as he asked.

Loriel subtly glanced at the other Swords, exchanging looks with them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“…?”

Something suspicious in their movements.

However, Kim Hyunwoo silently waited to hear what Loriel had to say.

After a brief moment.

“If possible, could we count all five of our requests as one?”

“…Even so, if it’s too difficult a request, I might not be able to grant it.”

“It’s fine. I don’t think it’s that difficult of a request.”

Something about Loriel’s words made Kim Hyunwoo feel uneasy, but he responded.

“…Let me hear it first.”

“Then, may we speak privately for a moment?”

“That serious…? Well…okay.”

Kim Hyunwoo reluctantly nodded, and Loriel signaled the other Swords, who quickly bowed their heads and left the room.

Now, it was just the two of them in the room.

Kim Hyunwoo instinctively realized that Loriel’s request was something serious and looked at her with a tense expression.

“…I’ll get straight to the point.”

Loriel sighed deeply, as if steeling herself.

“…Could you share affection with Master…?”

She said it seriously, though her face turned red slightly.

Not long after the Lord of Lartania, Kim Hyunwoo, spent a night with Merilda, the news spread much faster than he had intended.

It spread so quickly that by late afternoon, all the heroes in Lartania had already learned that Kim Hyunwoo had spent his first night with someone.

One of the people who had confirmed the rumors firsthand, Elena, felt as though her world had crumbled as she went about her duties.

Of course, Elena was well aware that many heroes had their eyes on Kim Hyunwoo.

However, despite the many heroes pursuing him, Kim Hyunwoo had always been meticulous about maintaining boundaries, never allowing his relationships with them to go beyond a certain point.

Perhaps that was why Elena had felt so reassured.

She believed that because the Lord treated all heroes equally, no one would progress further with him even if she let her guard down a little.

That belief had left her filled with deep regret and a sense of defeat.

And in that state,

“Oh, here you are.”

“…Shadra?”

“Yes, it’s me, Shadra. Can we talk for a bit?”

“Talk about what…?”

“It’s about Dad, so follow me.”

Shadra showed up and, without explanation, started pulling Elena along. Before long, they arrived at the office of the Mage Tower branch.

“…River?”

Seeing River, who also looked like her world had collapsed, Elena stood there, bewildered.

“Please, take a seat.”

Following Shadra’s instruction, Elena sat next to River.

“Alright, let’s skip the small talk and get straight to the point.”

Finally, Shadra began to get to the main topic.

“I think we all know what this is about. Dad slept with that Beastfolk who just returned.”

Shadra’s face was calm, but there wasn’t a trace of humor in her serious expression as she continued.

“And I have no intention of giving up.”

“…What do you mean by ‘not giving up’?”

“I mean exactly what I said. Polygamy is legal on this Continent. Just because Dad slept with someone doesn’t mean I have any reason to give up.”

As if the very idea of giving up was absurd, Shadra declared with confidence, looking at Elena and River.

“So, to get to the point, I’m proposing an alliance.”

“…An alliance?”

“Yes, an alliance. As you know, each of us heroes has our own strengths, but it’s hard to compete individually. That beastfolk has the backing of the Four Kings, and the half-demon has the support of the Five Swords… Even though the Hero King doesn’t have much support.”

Shadra continued to explain.

“So, we should band together. Now that the first one is settled, the important thing is how quickly we can become Dad’s women.”

“…What if the Lord has no intention of accepting anyone other than that beastfolk?”

“If Dad says that, will you give up?”

Shadra countered Elena’s question with one of her own.

As Elena hesitated, Shadra confidently declared:

“I have no intention of giving up, no matter what. Even if the sky falls and the earth shatters, I’ll marry Dad. And we’ll have a sticky mating too.”

“Sti-sticky mating…?”

River responded, looking dizzy from Shadra’s blunt words.

“And what if the Lord doesn’t like it?”

Elena asked hesitantly.

“He’ll never hate it. I’m not sure if it’s just me, but if we’re together, we’ll figure something out.”

Shadra gave a confident smile.

“That’s why I’m proposing this alliance. So, what will you do?”

That’s what she said.

Elena and River, who had been listening,

“…Alright.”

“Me, me too…”

nodded in agreement to Shadra’s proposal.

“Good. Then let’s start planning right away.”

And the three began plotting.
