Overgeared

Shay, Sniffer, and Kerb—the notorious group of three PKers—had attempted to hurt Grid several times. Interestingly enough, Grid had a subtle liking toward them. Thanks to them, he managed to seize items that were helping in the fight against Pope Drevigo, gain the ultimate assassin Kasim, and receive direct help from them in the war against the empire.

They were like bluebirds bringing good luck. It was a story of extreme consequences, but the actions of Shay’s party always benefited Grid. There was only one exception. It was the meeting with Marie Rose. Grid, who had fallen into the trap of Shay’s group and entered Marie Rose’s seal, inadvertently unsealed Marie Rose and formed a connection with Marie Rose. Moreover, Grid considered it a ‘bad connection.’

A demonkin with absolute power... How much of a villain must she have been for the members of the Rebecca Church to have risked their lives to seal her? The encounter with her would surely be harmful someday...

Grid believed so. Now that idea had changed. Not all demonkin were evil. He could be friends with vampires. Not to mention, the Rebecca Church wasn’t unconditionally just and divine, let alone Goddess Rebecca. Grid had learned this through various relationships and events.

“Sniff sniff. Sniff sniff sniff.”

The nostalgic smell that Marie Rose mentioned was his body odor. Grid was unaware of it as he smelled his armpits.

‘Marie Rose favors me. Does she want to repay my grace for releasing her from the seal?’

He had met with several of her immediate relatives, including Braham and Noll, and found they were surprisingly pure. They had a cruel aspect since they treated the blood of humans as a staple food, but this was a physiological aspect. It was hard to see their nature itself as evil.

Additionally, they hated Evil God Yatan and the great demons. Their founder—Shizo Beriache—had been expelled due to them, and all vampires received the Curse of Idleness.

Grid was convinced. ‘Contrary to Nefelina’s concerns, there won’t be a situation where I will be hostile to Marie Rose. Rather, it is more likely for her to have a sense of goodwill toward me.’

This fitted with the probability. The moment the Overgeared Kingdom became hostile to Marie Rose, they would be destroyed within a few days. Marie Rose’s strength was comparable to that of an upper great demon. Undoubtedly, he would rather be her friend.

Grid returned to the office after a day of blacksmithing.

“The smell of sweat is too bad. Haven’t you washed?”

He was sniffing his armpits when a voice woke him up from his thoughts. Lauel was blocking his nose.

Grid shrugged. “I’m afraid that Marie Rose won’t recognize me if I wash off the smell.”

“Hrmm... Does Marie Rose really like Your Majesty’s smell?”

“...?”

“Weren’t you wearing Malacus’ Cloak when you met Marie Rose? The reason she woke up was the bloody smell coming from the cloak.”

“...”

“It is far-fetched to think she would miss Your Majesty’s smell that was obscured by the heavy smell of blood. The smell that she misses isn’t Your Majesty’s body odor but the blood that is ingrained in Malacus’ Cloak.”

It made sense. Then Marie Rose liked Malacus’ Cloak, not him? Grid was panicking when Lauel laughed. “It’s a joke. Don’t you only wear Malacus’ Cloak when you want to gather mobs at the hunting grounds? The nostalgic smell coming from Damian and Zednos is naturally Your Majesty’s body odor."

“Shit. You scared me. Why did you make such a joke?”

“It was to raise your awareness. Don’t think too positively about Marie Rose.”

“...?”

“Her presence is too big. You can’t afford it. Your Majesty shouldn’t be involved with her.”

It was surprising. Grid thought Lauel would be more excited about Marie Rose’s appearance than anyone else.

“Why are you thinking so negatively? Even Braham and Noll, who were our enemies at first, are now our colleagues. Meanwhile, Marie Rose has had a fondness for me since the beginning. I think it will be easy to get her as a colleague.”
