Reborn as A Holy Knight (Remake) Volume 3 Chapter 18 (Patreon)

Chapter 18 – New Challenges

“I know you and your thing with Emmy, but I want to say that you did a good job facing Dahlia. In fact, I’m pretty amazed.”

“Huh? Huuh?”

“I made you feel bad, true, but if we didn’t do this otherwise, you would have abandoned your mission.”

Abandon my mission?

I don’t know.

After all, I couldn’t ignore Dahlia in the end.

“Didn’t I say so? I told you to trust my Alf.”

“Shut up! This all happened because you spoiled him too much in the first place! He abandoned his mission for two months and spent all his time in one woman!”

“It’s only been two months.”

“Yes, but there might be a race that will die and perish within those two months, you know?”

“Muuu….”

A race will perish.

Come to think of it, Dahlia said there are only a few of the werewolf race left.

That means there may also be several other races that are facing extinction.

And to think I’ve been ignoring these people for a long time….

“In that case, I need to go back to Emmy and tell her….”

As I murmured this in her cleavage, Gigliola broke the embrace.

But as I lifted my body away from her, the Goddess, who was a head shorter than me, looked up at me and lightly shook her head.

“No, Alf. Even if you tell her, it will still be difficult for you to beget a child without the aid of the Divine Skill, even if you’re the Holy Knight of Xaneela.”

“No way….”

I looked at Xaneela for help, but she only bit her lip apologetically and turned her face away.

“Indeed, it’s the truth. It is difficult for you to get someone pregnant without the aid of the Divine Skill, Alf.”

Gigliola said this with a slightly firmer tone of voice, as if to negate all the words that she had said earlier.

Then, she grabbed my face between her hands and forced me to turn toward her.

“However, that is also why I am here.”

“Huh?”

Isn’t this Goddess here to get in our way?

“It is my job as the Goddess of Love to save the two people who are united by love. But that doesn’t mean you should neglect your mission. That’s why I was a little mean to you earlier.”

Saying this, Gigliola stuck out her tongue.

“So, Emmy and I are…?”

Speaking of which, Xaneela was about to tell me something along the lines that I can’t give birth to children “as it is now,” but we could “depending on the conditions” or so.

“Yes. Depending on the conditions. Or should I say, “under the right conditions”? Anyway, you heard that right.”

Gigliola smiled bewitchingly as she corrected my thinking.

But whatever the difficulty, as long as it solves the problem with Emmy and me, I will surely do it.

“Fufufu, what a good and pure heart. In that case…”

With the tip of her fingertip, I was poked in the forehead.

Then suddenly….

Uwaaaa!?”

Some information flowed into my head.

“These are…?”

“THe endangered races, if you will….”

“Endangered? Like Dahlia’s?”

“Yes. It’s not something that will happen right away, but it will be too late if you don’t do something about it. If you are obsessed with one woman and too laid back in carrying out your mission, you will surely not make it in time.”

“Uu… I’m sorry…”

There are quite a few races listed….

Indeed, if I had not thought about it and lived in the same frame of mind I was in before I met Gigliola, I might have neglected my job for a long time.

But seeing the list, if I move proactively, I can complete it in half a year… no, maybe in three months even.

Then after I impregnate all of these women of this race…

“Only then will your mission be over. And with the utmost of my powers, I will do my best to make you have a child with Emmy. I promise that.”

“Ooh… thank you…!!”

I was so moved that I hugged Gigliola.

Her sweet scent wafting through the air tickled my nostrils and made me feel refreshed.

She’s been mean to me, but in the end, she’s a good Goddess, isn’t she?

“Ufufu, I’m honored.”

“Muu…!!”

Wondering if she heard my heart, Gigliola smiles proudly, and Xaneela lets out a grumpy voice.

But, like the way she looks, she is also very close to Xaneela in terms of comfort… no, her chest is a bit tinier, and she’s a bit plumper as well….

Nevertheless, it’s rather more comfortable than Xaneela’s…?

“Do you want to know why? That’s because Xaneela is the ideal woman you desired immediately after your reincarnation, and I am more like the ideal woman you desire now.”

“What!?”

Xaneela’s voice was a bit of a rasp at Gigliola’s line.

“I’d say I’m more like Emmy, or somewhere between Xaneela and her, if I may put it simply.”

I see. She’s close to Emmy, whom I’ve embraced for over two months. That’s why I feel so at home.

“Ahhh! No fair! Gigliola is such a cheater!”

“Ufufufufu.”

Xaneela’s denunciation was passed over with a bewitching smile by Gigliola.

“Thank you, Gigliola.”

I broke the embrace and pulled away from her.

“I’ll do my best.”

“Yes, good luck.”

I looked her in the eye and said this with a solid determination, and she gave me a gentle smile.

“Also, Xaneela, please don’t sulk. I’ll be needing you from today onwards as well.”

“Hmph!”

I looked at Xaneela, who was fidgeting out of the corner of my eye and spoke this to her, but she deliberately turned her head away.

When I let out a giggle at that, the pretty Fertility Goddess turned her face back and gave me a cold stare.

“Sigh. Do as you like. But let me warn you. Don’t easily open your heart to this wicked woman over here.”

Stunned by Xaneela’s sore loser comment, I looked at Gigliola and deliberately shrugged my shoulders.

Gigliola also lowered her eyebrows, smiled, and tilted her head.

I’m sure the Goddess would never go back on her word, no matter how mean she was to me.

Maybe it’ll be a more arduous mission than I’m thinking, but I will get it done.

“Fufufu… it can’t be helped. Well, good luck with your mission, my little holy knight.”

Xaneela, perhaps hearing my heart, let out a resigned smile and said that.

“Oh yes! I have to tell Emmy about this.”

“Nope. That will be a foul on your part.”

“――eh?”

Gigliola interrupted me all of a sudden.

“I forbid you from seeing Emmy until you have completed your mission. No letters or messages. Well, it’s okay if she contacts you. But as soon as Alf contacts her or responds to any of her inquiries, I will withdraw from the case.”

“You’ll… withdraw?”

That would mean I have to give up on the idea of Emmy and I having a child together.

Gigliola was still with the smile on her face, as bewitching and glamorous as I’d ever seen.

And at the corner of my eye, Xaneela was shaking her head with a hand on her forehead, as if she had expected this.
