120 – Gentle Prisoner #(Interlude)

Elga’s demeanor noticeably softened.

“Elga-nim, let’s go wash off our sweat.”

“…….”

It bothered me a bit that Elga’s focus and gaze were floating blankly in the air, but it wasn’t strange if you considered that she was immersed in the pleasure and afterglow of s£x.

… Was it that good?

Could I be gifted in s£x!?

“I’ll wash you.”

Chwareureu, chwareureu-.

After coming out of the bath, Elga, dressed in a clean white robe, poked me on the side.

I turned my head, wondering if she wanted to get patted again. Then I saw her staring into the air and said something strange.

“I thought I was just hallucinating before, but even after taking a bath, I can still see it.”

“Is there any problem?”

“Theo, can you see it too?”

“Elga-nim’s chest?”

“… What are you talking about? I mean this!”

“What do you mean?”

“There are words in the air!”

“… Words in the air?”

It was a random thing to say, but it wasn’t completely baseless. So I asked with some curiosity.

“Can you tell me what it says?”

“My name, job, nobility, and so on.”

‘I get it now.’

Elga had opened her status window, or system. I already had a guess when she mentioned words in the air, but it was only now that I became certain.

“What is this? Theo, do you know anything?”

“Well, maybe….”

I paused for a moment to consider whether I should tell her what I knew exactly or just gave a vague sense of it…

“It’s probably a system.”

“A System?”

“It is also called a Status Window.”

“Status Window?”

Elga’s eyebrows furrowed as she sat on the bed. Then she suddenly let out an, “Ah-“, as if she remembered something.

“It’s the blessing that heroes have!”

Elga rejoiced all of a sudden, but it was my turn to be confused and asked.

“What do you mean? What blessing that heroes have?”

At my question, Elga looked at me with some dissatisfaction.

“What is this~? There’s something Theo doesn’t know~? I can’t believe you don’t know about such.”

“… So what is that blessing?”

As I asked again, Elga spoke as if she was talking to a kid.

“The heroes who defeated the Demon King Angmar were led by some kind of mysterious revelation and grew endlessly strong. They saw floating words like these!”

By ‘heroes who defeated the Demon King’, Elga probably meant the ancestors of the big four families.

The Wise Isabelle Tarantera, the Valiant Vald Lioness, the Free Opal Bellhawk, and the Pious Judas Draco.

And now, from Elga’s explanation, they all seemed to have a Status Window.

Indeed, it was quite possible.

In order to defeat the absolute Demon King at the 10th Rank, the heroes must have had a special weapon.

It was highly probable that they used the Status Window to train and eventually defeat the Demon King.

But the question was, how did the Status Window that the Demon King created for his followers go to the heroes? And why did it suddenly start to appear for Elga?

I had a guess.

Just like how I received my Status Window from Marmar, I wondered if I also gave it to Elga in some way.

Other than that, I didn’t have any particularly plausible theories.

This was probably it.

「You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

All job experience +5」

‘Alright.’

Elga then said.

“I’ve awakened the same power as the heroes…!”

Elga seemed very excited after obtaining the Status Window.

“With this power, I would be able to shut that annoying Mirna up, no, maybe even defeat Aira…!”

Elga was like a child who opened a present on Christmas. You couldn’t find any trace of her depression from before.

I must have looked the same when I first got my Status Window.

However, I laid her down on the bed and patted her head to calm her down, lest she got too excited and had an accident.

“Let’s sleep first. It’s already late.”

“All right! Hehe, I’ll have experiment tomorrow with this, and that too-“

I tucked Elga on a fresh duvet, when she suddenly exclaimed, “Ahng.”

‘Ahng?’

I was confused by her sudden noise. It made me wonder if I had accidentally touched her chest without realizing it.

“What’s wrong? Why did you make that sound?”

“Nothing. It’s just how the words appear.”

Ah, so the activation word for her Status Window was “ahng.” It was nice. Such a thing was short and simple, but it felt a bit strange. Ahng…

Elga repeatedly said this for a while.

It seemed like she was having fun toggling the Status Window on and off as if it were a light switch. I felt like the night was going to be a long one…
