CH 273

BTOG 273 – Together, to the shrine of the end.

May 17, 2023

“…Sorry, I’m a little late.”

“So, any excuse?”

“Don’t have one…”

At the entrance to the city of beginnings, I was down on my knees with my arms crossed in front of the angry Rin-chan.

To add salt to the wounds, I could feel the piercing gaze of people around me as if they as [what the hell they were doing?]

“Three hours, it’s three hours. Isn’t it a bit too much for [a bit late?] right?”

“It’s as you say….”

Yes, that’s right.

I had nothing to say to that because I took my time in eliminating the ghost of the sunken city.

The final number of ghosts killed was about 650 in all. I honestly don’t remember the exact number, but if I take a look at my history, I might be able to figure it out.

I also got a lot of experience, a not-so-unreasonable amount of iris, and some rare weapons from millionaires and stronger Seekers. In the end, the battle results were so bountiful that I was running out of space in my inventory.

But…

When I took a break and looked at my watch, it read 7:30 a.m. I had missed my 5:00 a.m. appointment to stream with her by two and a half hours.

I dashed to the safe zone and dashed to the meeting place in the city of beginnings, where I was greeted by a smiling Rin-chan.

Naturally, I immediately got down on my knees and apologized.

< That’s given.>

< I’d also be pissed if I was held up for three hours.>

<Sukuna had switched to having fun.

<She was flying pigeons, for God’s sake.

< It’s a very immoral picture.

< It’s like we’re on good terms with each other.”

I don’t need to see to know the chat is currently bashing me, but I did anyway. Then again, I am 100% to blame, so I have to accept this.

“Haah~~ It’s my fault for not stopping you, so be it, this is not worth my time.”

After several minutes of persistent lecturing, Rin-chan sighed and said,

“As a punishment, you will hold me in a princess carry until we got reached the Shrine of the End.”

“I’m fine with it, but… won’t you get embarrassed, Rin-chan?”

“There’s nothing to embarrassed about, I need to show the world how much I and Nana love each other.”

“? Well then, hold tight on me, okay?”

Lifting Rin-chan effortlessly, I held her as she wrapped both arms around me, pressing her face against my chest.

“Come on, Rin-chan!”

“Alright, alright.”

We tightly held hands and jumped into the vortex, expressing our thoughts out loud, fully knowing that it might have upset the viewers.

The initial plot was that Vladia was originally planned to be defeated by Nana. It has been here for the entire time.

By the way, I finally lifted the ban on emoticons.
