No. Except for my forehead, there was no injured place, so why nursing…

In front of me, Sheri’s face turned red in embarrassment.

“Jessica! This is! I, when did I do that?”

“I’m not lying. Look. Jackie unni is pretending to be calm, but look at her ears. Her ears turn red when she’s embarrassed.”

“…Can you be quiet for a moment? Jessica Celeste?”
“I don’t want to. Do you think I’m going to miss the perfect opportunity to tease my sisters?”

In an instant, my room became lively.

In the midst of it, Lena, who couldn’t bear it any longer, finally screamed, and the room fell silent.

“Uh…! Everyone, please leave! If you have something to say, let’s gather in the reception room later! The Duke hasn’t even changed his clothes yet!”

“Ah.”

“Oh no.”

“Oops. Sorry. It’s just that I’m so happy! Come on, sisters. Let’s go down quickly.”

In the now silent room, I entrusted my body to Lena and asked.

“So, the gate is operating safely, right?”

The gate installed on the wide grassy field of the Kitten Duchy emitted a diverse array of blue lights, exuding a sacred aura.

The complex magical symbols intertwined like vine stems, expressing an enchantment that humans couldn’t describe, resembled a work of art, inspiring admiration.

However… there was one regret.

“The building here is quite different from the one that was built like a temple above the north gate of the capital.”

“Yes. Here, only the magical symbols were drawn, and no other peculiarities were visible.”

“Hmm…”

As I muttered with a slightly cloudy tail, I glanced briefly at Zero. This hamster didn’t say anything, but it got angry on its own.

“Well, well! Support from the divine realm only goes this far. It’s not like there’s a function that automatically builds buildings in the newly constructed gate areas! Don’t look at me like that with those eyes!”

“What kind of eyes did I use?”

“Eyes of the water deity! Like the eyes of a wicked merchant who wonders if there’s anything else he could take away! Don’t look at me like that!”

Caught.

‘The special gate portal building that appeared in the place where the north gate used to be should be so beautiful and sacred.’

I witnessed in real-time a building similar to a sanctuary being erected above the gate.

Cream and ivory colors mixed in a noble manner, utilizing the blazing flames of the blue gate magical symbols, the special gate building was constructed.

My greed was to install that building even on the gate of the Duchy of Kitten.

‘And for free.’

Hey, System sir. Isn’t it reasonable to add a bonus for completing the quest even if it means breaking my head?

Of course, it was a story that made me cringe as Zero, who could read all my thoughts, but…

“I, I… Please take a look at my previous life as Lady Nobu.”

“Heung. No way?”

“Of course not! Even this much support is provided by the higher gods of the divine realm, somewhat forcibly exhausting the narrative. Be satisfied with the fact that you can install gate portals limitlessly in other areas.

“Oh, really?”

Being able to install it limitlessly in other areas.

‘That’s amazing, isn’t it?’

That statement meant that I could now face the lords who had been supporting me only through online meetings in person.

Is that all?
“Quest… Where was the quest?”

I opened the status window and searched for the quest list that Zero had given me, snapping my fingers.

“Ah! Here it is.”

[Sub-Quest Find the unidentified figure.] [Investigate the extermination of the Waray family in Linstead once again.] [Meet a sorcerer from the magic country of Quina.] [Reward: One-time-use barrier spell that blocks any attack.]

These were quests that I was worried about because I was isolated in Agata, making it difficult to accomplish quickly…

“Now the situation has changed.”

With the special gate, if I set the destination correctly, I felt confident that I could easily clear these quests.

“This is why he spent a lot of narrative and got angry,” I thought about Zero.

The tide had turned.

The unknown culprit, who could trap us in the capital and threaten our lives at any moment, would now be anxious.

For those confined in the capital, an opportunity to escape had emerged. Even if I tried to take everyone remaining in the capital out using the special gate, it was likely that corrupted sorcerers wouldn’t be stopped.

Moreover, if we simultaneously launched a mortar attack on the capital, now that all survivors had left, we might be able to annihilate all the zombies and make the culprit more vulnerable, assuming he was still inside the capital.

“Now, how will that guy come out?”

I was looking forward to it.
