Chapter 36: Chapter 36: A Strange Sense of Déjà Vu
[The sea god's protection still exists]
The beginning of the progress was slightly different compared to the first run.
But the result was still similar.
[After drifting at sea for a week]
[You smell a very familiar island scent]
[At that moment, you know that you have once again returned to this unforgettable Shapeless Isle]
"Oh my, this child…"
Stheno held the child she had picked up from the beach.
Looking into his bright eyes.
For some reason, she felt both sadness and joy in her heart, as if this wasn't their first meeting.
She couldn't bring herself to hate him.
She wanted to hold him in her arms forever.
[Although Stheno felt a little strange]
[She still brought you back to the island out of her own selfishness and introduced you to Euryale and Medusa]
[From the beginning, there was no distance between you]
[The Gorgon sisters accepted the fact that you had become family at a speed that even they found unbelievable]
[Twelve years passed in the blink of an eye]
[Now, the Gorgon sisters can no longer leave you, you are an indispensable part of their lives]
"Moran, what are you doing here?"
Medusa found Moran in the forest.
She and Moran were responsible for the meals of Stheno and Euryale, and today was just like any other day.
"Um… well… I've already prepared it!"
"Prepared it? Have you already prepared dinner for Elder Sister and Second Elder Sister in advance?"
"Yes! Um, the ingredients I collected are on the beach!"
Moran leaned against the bushes with a subtle expression.
There was a faint rustling sound coming from the bushes.
Medusa couldn't help but worry as she looked at the situation: "Moran, are you feeling unwell? Or…"
"N, no, I'm fine!"
Moran perked up.
This made Medusa feel very strange.
There seemed to be a strange scent in the air.
Just as she was about to get closer to check on Moran's condition, the voice that made her soul tremble was heard.
"Ara, Medusa, haven't you prepared my dinner yet? Do I need to remind you about such a small matter?"
"E, Elder Sister!?"
"How lazy, Medusa."
Stheno suddenly jumped out of the bushes.
This left Medusa unable to think.
Too afraid of her two elder sisters, Medusa's nerves were on edge. She didn't notice that Stheno had jumped out of the bushes next to Moran.
She was only thinking about preparing dinner for her elder sister.
"Oh my, she ran away~"
Stheno raised her eyelashes in feigned surprise.
Looking at Medusa's flustered appearance.
She found it very interesting and fun.
But to be honest, Stheno herself was also nervous and excited.
"Stheno, next time you want to play like this, can you let me know in advance?"
"Hehe, aren't you happy too?"
Stheno smiled at Moran.
She licked the crystal-clear dew on the corner of her mouth in a rather sensual manner, and her slightly intoxicated crimson cheeks were very charming.
It was as if she was still savoring the experience.
"You are my toy alone, and you will comfort me for countless days and nights to come. Hehe, you are not allowed to refuse."
Stheno spoke words that matched her goddess status.
The harshness in them had long since disappeared.
Perhaps it sounded like an order.
But in Moran's eyes, it was just a spoiled and willful act of a girl in love.
"Yes, yes, my goddess."
"Hmph, only a man like you would dare to be so perfunctory and disrespectful to a goddess… it seems I'll have to punish you some more~"
"What punishment… isn't that just you unilaterally wanting to…"
There was no chance to say anything more.
The goddess's tsundere and willful nature were maxed out.
[They cherish every day of their lives more than anyone.]
[Your feelings go beyond ordinary family affection. If possible, the three sisters want to live peacefully with you on the island forever.]
[But the underlying problems still exist.]
[Once again, you face the choice of whether to leave the Shapeless Isle.]
[This time, you have a prior plan. You didn't choose to leave the Shapeless Isle like you did in the first playthrough.]
[You choose to stay on the island.]
[As time passes, by the time you are sixteen, you are so handsome that you captivate all who see you.]
[Your long, black hair sways gently in the sea breeze, your nose is high and straight, your breathing is even, and your thick eyelashes are like black butterfly wings.]
[Your thin, cherry-blossom-pink lips are soft and have an amber sheen.]
[Even heroes who come to the island to defeat monsters are mesmerized by your stunning beauty.]
[Your appearance doesn't just captivate those who come.]
[Your exquisite martial skills shame the heroes; none of them are strong enough to defeat you.]
[You don't kill the heroes you can befriend.]
[Instead, you choose to use kindness and benevolence as your weapons.]
[Most of the heroes are won over by your heroic charm, and they greatly change their views on the Shapeless Isle.]
[Many heroes leave the Shapeless Isle and return to their homelands.]
[They spread the stories of the Shapeless Isle, and people learn about this hero of unparalleled beauty.]
[A hero who has never been defeated to this day. Most of those who fight him end up becoming friends, and all admire him.]
[Gradually, the rumors about the Shapeless Isle fade, and people begin to focus on this legendary warrior, this hero.]
"Haaah!"
The man raised his blade high and slashed horizontally.
Steel collided in mid-air, sending out hot sparks.
One of the swords was knocked into the air.
This battle ended with Moran's victory once again, and the person who landed on the island this time was no ordinary individual.
"Amazing! You're so strong! Why are you staying on an island like this! A heroic warrior like you should shine by my side!"
Jason immediately made a recruitment offer.
He was also a hero drawn in by the legend.
The moment he saw Moran,
he boldly suggested a good fight with yours truly.
As a result, he lost without a doubt.
Even Jason himself found it strange.
It was the first time he had met Moran, and the first time they had fought.
Yet, he had a strange sense of déjà vu.
It was as if they had known each other long ago, but he thought the feeling was too absurd to mention.
He just felt a sense of inexplicable nostalgia.
Like a friend from the past who had gone on a long journey, and he had never been able to see him again even after achieving success.
He conquered the world, but his friend didn't witness it.
His friend had died right before his victory.
