CHAPTER 340
FULL CIRCLE
”... you've kidnapped a young girl?”
It was only when Hannah pointed it out in a judgmental and angry tone that Lino had finally realized he'd done something rather contemptible. He exclaimed softly, glancing at the still-passed-out girl lying on the bed next to Hannah. It was true, he sighed. Whatever his reasons may be, a grown-ass man taking a young girl against her will... there is no way to paint him as anything other than a bad guy.
”What did we agree on, Lino?!” Hannah asked again as everyone else in the room hunkered into the corners, avoiding the two. ”What did we promise we won't do?”
”... uh... we won't kill the innocents...” Lino mumbled.
”Yes...”
”We won't steal from the poor...”
”Go on...”
”We won't discuss our bedroom kinks with strangers...”
”Ugh..”
”We won't kidnap anyone...”
”We won't kidnap anyone!” Hannah exclaimed. ”Especially young girls!!”
”... y-yeah... sorry. I guess I wasn't thinking.”
”... so who the hell is she anyway?” Hannah asked, glancing at the girl.
”One of the Great Seers.”
”She Marked you?”
”Yep.” Lino nodded.
”Oh, it's a good thing you kidnapped her, then.”
”... say what now?”
”I mean, think about it,” Hannah shrugged. ”How many people in the world are entirely immune to being marked by a Great Seer? Not many Lino. Not many. The fact that the Empyrean is skiving on the Holy Continent might have gotten out.”
”... so it's a good thing I kidnapped a young girl?” Lino asked.
”No, of course not. It's deplorable!”
”...”
”But, given the circumstances, you are forgiven.”

”... you're a weird, bizarre, and a wonderful creature.” Lino said, smiling. ”Please never change.”
”... you're a weirdo,” Hannah fired back, slightly offended. ”Anyway, what do you plan on doing with her? Though I know you've never audibly expressed the desire, I'm not letting you build a harem.”
”... let me correct you,” Lino's eyebrows twitched for a moment. ”I've never expressed the desire to build a harem -- audibly or otherwise. I don't want a harem. I can barely handle your insanity, how in the god's name do you expect me to handle any more than that? I'd melt woman! I'd wane away like an old oak tree, singing low hums for the dead and the dying! I'd choke on my own blood in my sleep! I'd--”
”I get it, shut the fuck up! Besides, I don't think you're into bald girls all that much.”
”The only bald woman I'd ever be into is you.” Lino teased.
”And if you ever decide to shave your head,” Hannah glanced at him emptily. ”I'll skid you.”
”... ah, the feeling of being loved.” Lino sighed, sitting down. ”Can someone explain to me what it feels like?”
”... how long are you two keep at it?” a familiar voice caused everyone in the room to look at the window where Lucky was currently sitting with her legs crossed, staring at Hannah and Lino with judgmental eyes. ”You've exhausted hearts and souls of poor people here. Quite frankly, I was half-expecting a few of them to just throw themselves out and splatter their brains against the earth.”
”Luckily you sat on that window,” Lino grinned. ”Otherwise... whoosh. Who could imagine the nightmare?”
”... I've been back literally ten seconds,” Lucky said, sighing. ”You are impossible.”
”What are you doing here anyway?” Hannah asked. ”I thought we'd meet in the City of the Thousand Light.”
”... yeah, change of plans,” Lucky said strangely. ”Alright, the kids and the dwarfs, I'd like to speak with the revered Bearers for a bit.” as the small group left in confusion, Lucky vaulted in and stole Lino's gourd, finally noticing the sleeping girl. ”You shat out an eighty-pounder? Good lord woman... what's your pussy look like? A pitfall designed to trap a Dragon?” corners of Hannah's lips twitched as she glanced at Lino who was snickering, barely stifling a full-blown laughter.
”Yeah,” Hannah nodded. ”I--I... fuck, I got nothin'.”
”Really?” Lino mumbled. ”Just say it's better to have a pitfall-like pussy than a repulsive one even the most desperate ones are too terrified to stick it in. It may eat them, after all. So, what did you want to talk about?”
”Well, I've been invited to become a disciple of the Holy Ground.”
”Eh? How's that happen?” Hannah asked.
”Interestingly, it's yours. Or your former one. Or your temporarily-not-a-member-because-I-betrayed-their-asses-so-I-can-get-pregnant-with-an-eighty-pounder. The Eternity one.”
”... weren't you actually good friends?” Lino asked.
”... hm? We still are.” Hannah and Lucky looked at him at the same time as he shuddered.
