Chapter 129 - Conversation during Travel (2/2)
The girls agreed to what Lapis had said.
Klaus, who was still leading the donkey, as well as the only one not participating in the conversation, turned back towards the other members who were talking about him with an ashamed face.
“Could you stop judging me like that behind me?”
“Think of it as a rare chance to find out what the girls think of you.”
With Loren cutting him of so directly, Klaus looked forward again, with the look still on his face.
Loren snorted as he looked at Klaus’ back, but Ange’s next words almost made him choke.
“By the way, how do you think of Loren, Lapis?”
“What would that mean?”
When Lapis calmly responded to Ange’s sudden question, Ange pulled on her sleeve with sparkling eyes filled with curiosity.
“You heard what we thought of Klaus, so this time you could tell us how you feel about Loren.”
“I’m not sure how it’s related.”
“I’m interested too. It’s nothing anything difficult. Just think of it as small talk until we reach our destination.”
Layla had joined in, and Roll nodded deeply next to her.

When Loren covered his face with his palm, wondering how the conversation took such a weird turn, Lapis calmly placed her finger on her chin and thought for a moment, and then replied with a smile.
“I’d like to invite him to my home sometime soon.”
“I see. You like him so much you want to introduce him to your parents.”
Lapis smiled at a surprised Layla and an Ange and Roll who were blushing and smiling happily for some reason.
“But I’m a priestess, so it’s also difficult to take that step. That’s what I currently think.”
It wasn’t that priests were forbidden to marry.
But since they served a deity, getting together with someone and breaking up repeatedly wasn’t good for their image, so they had to be very careful when choosing someone.
That was what Lapis was talking about, and although she felt that she liked Loren enough to introduce him to her parents, but wasn’t sure of him as a husband, which was a very humble way to express affection.
“Good to see that you two are getting intimate Loren.”
“Shut up and keep walking.”
As Klaus looked back at him again, smiling, Loren kicked him in the butt, making sure to hold back.
He thought he had held back quite a bit, but seeing that Klaus floated up in the air very slightly, he realized that he failed to do so, Klaus rubbed the part where he got kicked, putting a note in the back of his mind to make sure to use <<Boost>> when teasing Loren or he would really be hurt.
“That’s one of the troubles being a priestess.”
When Ange muttered so, watching Loren and Klaus with a glare, Roll said timidly.
“Umm Ange, I’m a priestess as well…”
“If you like Klaus you better be prepared. That’s not someone who could be content with loving one person.”
“That’s, umm…”
“He’s definitely going to make lovers and mistresses. I’m already determined to deal with it.”
As Layla said so proudly, everyone other than Klaus wondered what she was so proud of, but she herself didn’t notice.
“You should really fix that personality of yours. Isn’t Ange the one you love?”
Before, when Loren had seen Ange at the brink of death, he couldn’t believe that the worry Klaus showed towards was a lie.
But he couldn’t understand him hooking up with other women, and as that irritated him and made him want to kick him again, Klaus put some distance away from Loren and nodded with confidence.
“Of course, the one I love the most in this world is Ange. That’s a fact.”
“Then…”
“But loving Layla and Roll, and all the countless women that I haven’t met yet equally is the main duty of myself.”
“…Oh, okay.”
Loren was impressed at the courage Klaus had, to say something like loving all women equally, even though he didn’t want to feel it.
You couldn’t walk the battlefield without courage, and Loren was quite confident in his own as well.
But while Loren felt that he was no match for Klaus and felt a weird sense of defeat with a lack of frustration, he watched Ange and the girls all attack Klaus from behind him.
