SIDE STORY – CORDELIA’S DIARY (2)

23.

Po~wer weapon doo doo doo doo doo~

It’s so sweet~ doo doo doo doo doo~

In the Anvil~ doo doo doo doo doo~

Power Weapon!

It was exciting.

As expected, there were many useful items in the armory of the ancient dwarves.

It was so good.

Jude told me off for taking even the useless things, calling me a hamster, but it was fun.

Doo doo doo doo doo~

Hehe.

Come to think of it, Jude didn’t seem to know the Baby Shark song.

How could he not know doo doo doo doo doo?

He tried it but sang ‘tatala talatala’ instead of ‘doo doo doo doo doo’! What the-?

What in the world was that?

It was a strangely cheerful melody.

Was that an Indian song?

T/N: The ‘tatala’ was the McGyver song that Jude sang at that time. But Cordelia thought it was an Indian song.

Anyway, we packed a lot of power weapons and ate White Snake meat every day.

It feels good to win a difficult battle, but in reality, eating it raw is the best.

Yes, yes, eating it raw is the best.

I want to eat it raw every day.

Anyway, we ate it raw.

Ohmigosh.

Seriously, ohmigosh.

Ahem, ahem, ohmigosh.

Just kidding.

Hahaha.

T/N: Recap. ‘Eat it raw’ is an idiom which means to do something without making any effort. But in her diary, Cordelia is hinting and joking that she knows the ‘lewd’ connotation too.

24.

Jude absorbed the Sunflower and opened the second door of the Ninth Heaven’s Nine Doors.

Congratulations.

And…

Yes, and it was actually hard and frightening today.

I fought Farragut to buy time for Jude who was absorbing the Sunflower.

He was strongest among the low-ranking demons of the Devil’s Hand… He was really strong.

It was the first time I had fought an enemy one-on-one since I recalled my past life memories.

Scary.

I had already experienced actual battle several times, but today was really scary.

I might die.

I might really die.

There was a line like this in a comic that I read before.

It was a line that the bad guy said while attacking the main character.

“What? Do you still think you’re not going to die?”

Was it like that?

Anyway.

He did not die because he was the main character.

It was impossible for him to die.

But there was no such thing in reality.

The places I got hit while fighting still hurt.

If Jude had been a little late, I might have really died in that few seconds.

Will I… be able to do well in the future?

Or will these things repeat again?

I’m glad I have Jude.

I’m glad.

Because I’m not alone.

Phew.

That’s all for my compliments!

Anyway, Jude opened the second door and became really strong.

Oh, and I got the last hit.

Last hit.

Hehe.

It means I defeated a powerful boss, okay?

And…

That…

Jude was kind of cool today.

A little bit.

Just a bit.

But the unavoidable thing was that the timing of his appearance was a scam.

Yes, yes, it was a scam.

His timing made me suspect that he was waiting on purpose.

He made a cool appearance and carried me…

Frankly, my heart was pounding.

I couldn’t help it.

And I felt it again today…

It seemed like Jude has grown a lot.

He was a bit shorter than me until recently, so when did he become this big?

I couldn’t feel it because I only saw him every day, but when I was carried in Jude’s arms today, I could feel the big difference.

I was carried…

In his arms…

Ah, I don’t know.

Anyway, Jude got stronger.

Yes, and I got stronger.

Of course.

I got the last hit after all, hehe.

25.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ah, ohmigosh.

Ah, seriously ohmigosh.

Ohmigosh.

Ohmigosh.

Ahem, ahem, ohmigosh.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Jude wrote a letter today.

Yes, Jude left a letter today.

I usually wrote a letter whenever we ran away… but this time, Jude wrote a letter when we slipped out of the Guardians of the Holy Cross.

Hehehe.

“I will further continue my honeymoon trip with Lady Cordelia, whom I dearly love more than my life. Please do not worry too much because I’ve gotten healthier from eating the Sunflower. P.S. I am really happy now.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ah, why I am so happy?

That’s right, he should be embarrassed too!

It’s almost like we’re married now! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

However.

Uh, how do I say this?

I also felt a bit odd.

Was it because Jude wasn’t as flustered as I thought he should?

Uuuuugh…

Well, anyway, what’s good is good, right?

Hehe.

26.

Gambler is out!

I’m talking about Jude. Yes, him.

He brought up the casino, saying that it was a way of making money.

No, how can gambling be a means of making money!

He’s seriously nuts.

Break it off, break it off!

I don’t want to marry a gambler!

27.

I didn’t know in the past that gambling could also be a means of making money.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It’s amazing, really amazing!

Wow, I had this kind of talent?

The goddess of gambling.

The goddess of fortune.

What made it even better was that I defeated Jude by a landslide.

HAHAHA

Are we banned from entering the casino?

HAHAHA

I mean, we won a lot, right?

Anyway, I’m relieved.

By earning a lot of money, we were able to safely rescue Red Wind, and also brought lots of good items at the auction house.

In particular, aren’t we incredibly lucky to find Heavenly Judgment?

We were so elated that we forgot to take Red Wind.

It felt so good.

I felt the same when we stopped the kidnapping of the children from the 12 northern families.. and I felt it too with Red Wind this time.

It felt really good to change the bad events of the game one by one.

So good.

Hehehe.

28.

After entering the wild lands, I had little time to write on my diary.

We were busy walking all day, and even when we were camping, we were also busy.

Anyway, we came to the wild lands, and after various adventures such as meeting the wild gods, we went to the Endymion, the old capital of Magellan, to save Lena.

In the midst of that… we destroyed Violent Avalanche’s mountain and burned Gentle Snow Breeze’s fields, but anyway, it was fine since we defeated the demonic humans.

Yes, yes, I did it.

I’m sorry.

I’m really sorry.

But there was no other way.

Anyway, back to the topic.

We succeeded in saving Lena.

We also destroyed the Hell Gate.

Jude was mean.

He said that he would trust me no matter what I do, but he pinched my cheek hard.

Anyway, it was fine since we broke the Hell Gate and defeated the demons.

Hmph.

I think my cheek still hurts.

Idiot Jude.

29.

We have a big problem.

Unnie has come all the way to the wild lands to catch me and Jude.

N-No.

No way.

Unnie is going to kill Jude.

If she doesn’t kill him, she’ll at least beat him up until he’s half-dead.

She might cast curses on him.

Eueueue.

No, I have to protect Jude.

Yes, that’s right. I have to protect Jude.

So even if I hate it, even if it’s difficult, I have to practice hard.

M-my beloved Jude.

I love Jude.

I can’t live without Jude.

Jude, my love.

Eueu.

Eueueueu.

L-let’s be strong, Cordelia.

You have to protect Jude!

30.

We met my unnie.

However.

Hoh?

Hehehe.

I see.

I understand.

You came here to experience romance and not to look for younger sister.

What do you mean by there’s nothing between you two?

I would like to know what happened.

This Cordelia cares about you very much.

Hahaha.

Ah, it was so funny.

Unnie’s face was so cute.

Jude’s brother.

Hahaha.

My shy unnie.

Hahaha.

Anyway, thanks to that, the incident with Jude went by smoothly.

I’m relieved.

Phew.

Thank goodness.

31.

We were busy for a while again.

I met my unnie and talked about complicated things.

On top of that, Red Wind caught the Phoenix to power up, and the eastern tribes of the wild lands successfully formed an alliance…

Anyway, we had almost done everything that we could, so Jude and I decided to begin a new task.

The plan was to go to the west and terrorize the rear of the enemy, but the road to get there was very difficult.

Because the mountain range was a crazy place.

The blizzard was very severe and cold. Anyway, it was seriously bad.

Without the Winter Protection, we would never have thought of passing through there.

Anyway, given the circumstances, Jude and I often snuggled and slept together these days.

I mean, well… Both of us were wearing thick clothes, and to begin with, the Cozy 1-Pyeong was really just 1 pyeong in floorspace, so it couldn’t be helped.

Yes, yes, it couldn’t be helped.

It’s fine since it can’t be helped.

Yes, yes.

But uh…

It seems like Jude has grown a lot these days.

Yes, he has grown.

He shouldn’t become too big like Landius.

I’m a little worried.

32.

We met an artificial spirit named Melissa.

She had been pitifully guarding the facility alone for a thousand years and waiting for her masters to return.

She was pitiful.

So we decided to take her.

That way, she could talk to me so that she wouldn’t feel lonely.

Oh, and… there was one more important thing.

We defeated one of the 7 major calamities.

To be exact, it was right before the Snow Queen, the failed product of the Artificial Spirit Ruler Project, became the calamity known as Light Dragon Yalavaska.

That was long, but anyway.

We had a hard time defeating it this time too.

Why do I feel like I’m the one who’s always buying time in front of such a powerful boss?

But thanks to that, Jude opened the third door and became stronger, eventually defeating the calamity.

What’s good is good.

Yes, yes.

And this time, I realized that Jude was indeed mean, but he still had a nice side.

He was really nice to me when I was suffering.

He always called me ‘princess’ recently.

Umm… It was a bit awkward at first, but it felt good now? Yeah, something like that?

There were times when he treated me like a real princess.

Umm…

What is he seriously saying?

Hmph.

33.

A lot of things happened.

We fought a decisive battle on Snow Breeze Plain, and won in terms of results alone.

We succeeded in waking up the Golden Dragon King with the big explosion plan Jude and I had come up with. Thus, we became the incarnations of the Golden Dragon King and destroyed the Hell Gate and the demon followers.

Jude transformed into a huge giant of light, and I felt like my heart swelled with pride.

There was a very dangerous moment though.

After breaking the Hell Gate, the enemies suddenly went wild! It was really terrifying when they rushed at us.

My father and Count Hræsvelgr came to help us, so we lived.

We won.

It was not just a victory, but a huge victory.

The wild lands was not corrupted.

The wild gods did not become demons.

We saved countless people who were supposed to become demonic humans.

There was no war between the wild lands and the north…

As a result, many things had really changed.

A lot of people became happy.

It felt nice.

It was really good that the parts that were always frustrating and sad in Legend of Heroes 2 had been resolved.

We will continue to change it in the future.

For a perfect happy ending.

For a future where everyone is happy.

We shall do our best.

34.

Huu.

Huu.

Huu.

Deep breaths first.

Deep breaths.

Haa.

Today.

So today.

I realized a seriously important fact.

It was a really, really important fact.

In Legend of Heroes 2, Jude and Cordelia were engaged.

However, Cordelia became a missing person due to the abduction of the children from the 12 northern families, and the war between the north and the wild lands broke out, so the relationship between the two people was broken.

But.

Jude and I saved the north.

We also saved the wild lands.

So the situation was very different from the original.

As a result.

The engagement of Jude Bayer and Cordelia Chase was still intact.

In addition, due to the numerous letters we wrote while running away, we even got a strange nickname… Fantasy Couple.

And my unnie gave me the final blow today.

The fact that I realized.

If this continued, I would really have to marry Jude.

Me.

With Outbo.

With that Jude.

Get married to him.

We’ll kiss too.

W-We-We’ll do that too.

And I’ll have children later?

I-I can’t imagine it.

I can’t imagine it!

But why?

I can’t imagine it, but…

But I don’t hate it.

What’s going on?

S-strange.

It’s strange!

35.

I was invited to Emma Ficus’ birthday party.

Emma Ficus.

She was the daughter of Count Ficus, who belonged to the 12 northern families, and someone who had a strange rivalry with me for a long time.

And Jude who knew that better than me was planning a very bad thing.

Umm… Why do I feel so excited though?

36.

To be honest, I felt very sorry for Emma.

No, I was extremely delighted.

Yes, it was her birthday.

She should be the main character on her birthday, but it was ruined because of Jude and me.

Of course, I hated what she usually did, but still, it was her birthday.

Yes, yes.

I told that to Jude, and he said he would send her a lot of shampoo and conditioner later.

But I also have to write a letter.

Happy birthday, and I’m sorry.

By the way, I didn’t know that Jude liked to dress me up.

He always said that I was the most beautiful in the world.

I mean, of course, Cordelia is the most beautiful girl in the world.

Even so…

Ah, my face has turned red again.

It seems like my face is often red these days because of Jude.

What if I end up with high blood pressure?

Then Jude should take responsibility for me.

He has to take responsibility.

37.

I made a bet with Jude.

And I lost.

Huhuhu.

I’m stupid.

Why did I make a bet with a scammer?

Sob, sob, sob.

In addition, the terms of the bet are…

Uwah.

It’s a wish.

A wish.

Ah, seriously.

What wish will he ask for?

Jude is a sly pervert, so will he make a naughty wish?

Eueueueue…

B-But a promise is a promise, right?

If it’s a k-kiss.

Uuh…

I-If he asked that for a wish… can I really do it?

Because a promise is a promise.

Yes, yes.

That’s it.

Uh…

You evil b*stard. Mean b*stard..

Hurry up and make a wish, okay!

Don’t make me feel anxious!

38.

Jude still hasn’t made a wish.

How great is his wish that he’s taking his time?

Eueueue…

I-I should mentally prepare myself.

39.

Many things happened in the process of preparing to lure Velkian in the Temple of Life, and obtaining the Sphere of Life.

To summarize it, we met Landius-nim again.

Jude was in a seriously dangerous situation, but thanks to Landius-nim’s advice, we were able to resolve it.

But his advice was a bit odd.

The power of lo-love.

There isn’t anything like that between Jude and me!

Even so…

Surprisingly, it really succeeded.

Jude woke up after hearing my voice.

I was relieved.

Thank goodness.

Because I was really worried about what would happen to Jude.

Idiot.

You always make me worry.

Jude, you idiot.

40.

We met Princess Darianne.

She was a much cuter, more adorable, and lovelier girl than when we saw her in Legend of Heroes 2.

Hehe.

I pretended to be injured because of Jude, but I somehow felt uncomfortable?

It felt like Jude always dragged me into situations.

He must have wanted to escort me, so he held my hand and guided or carried me under the excuse that I couldn’t see… Was that really acting though?

Hmm…

Something, there’s definitely something.

I can smell it.

Does he really like me?

Of course, if I ask and he says no, I’ll be in big trouble, so I’m just skeptical for now.

It’s possible.

There’s… a possibility!

41.

Jude, you evil b*stard!

Mean b*stard!

What the heck is P-Pink Bomb!

What is it! Huh?!

Also, when did you bring the rabbit headband and tail again!

He’s definitely a pervert.

He’s a pervert.

He really likes the rabbit headband and tail.

A bunny girl enthusiast.

A pervert.

A pervert!

Huu.

Uh, well… since you like this headband so much, well… I’ll give you some fanservice?

Because Jude always experiences a lot of hardships.

Yes, yes, I can provide this much fanservice.

I mean.

What I mean is…

It’s only similar to a bunny girl, so yeah, I can do it. I’ve done it a lot in the wild lands.

But I can’t still accept Pink Bomb.

Eueue… Velkian is an idiot, an idiot.

I mean, it’s a novel wherein Pink Bomb is the protagonist’s name.

What kind of novel is that? Huh?

42.

We met Scarlet.

Unlike in Legend of Heroes 2, it seems like we can be friends.

Hehe.

She’s older than me, but she’s cute.

She looks a bit like Lucas.

Come to think of it, I think she’ll be a good match for Lucas.

Hahaha.

I have to introduce them to each other.

43.

We attended the Banquet of Swords.

And… and..

Ahem, ahem.

I lightly kissed Jude’s cheek as a way of cheering for him.

On the cheek and not anywhere else.

Yes, on the cheek.

Since it’s just a greeting in foreign countries.

Yes, yes, so it’s nothing special, right?

But just because of that, idiot Jude liked it very much.

It felt like he was overflowing with energy.

As I thought, he really likes me, huh?

Right?

It’s not a delusion. Seriously!

Oh, and Jude won the competition.

We became close to First Sword.

First Sword looked like a good-for-nothing person and had a somehow unpleasant gaze, but he was not a bad person once you got close, so we should maintain a good relationship with him.

Yes, yes.

Anyway, we are one step closer to the happy ending today!

44.

Scarlet came last night.

Anyway, the timing of her visit was…

If only we had a bit more time, we would have…

Ah, I don’t know.

Anyway, so I chatted with Scarlet.

Even from Scarlet’s perspective, Jude and I look like a real couple.

Hmm… does it look like that from the outside?

It’s a perfect disguise success.

A disguise success!

Eueueue…

Does Jude really like me?

He calls me a princess every day, cooks well for me, wakes me up in the morning, and carries me on his back daily…

I don’t know.

Scarlet said those alone are not enough.

Argh.

By the way, what should I call him?

I don’t think ‘Daddy’ is good.

I’ll look like a strange person if I started dating Jude.

So I can’t call him that.

I’ll have to… think of something good.

45.

A lot of things happened.

I went inside a dungeon book and fought against a Cordelia who took a different path, and even got Scarlet involved with the activities of Pink Bomb.

And I went to the night pool.

The night pool of Crown Princess Daphne.

But the important thing was that Jude had been to the night pool before.

Night pool.

A place where adults go.

He had been there?

And with a woman?

When I asked who he went with, he kept avoiding in giving an answer.

Suspicious.

Very suspicious.

Hmph.

“But… his abs were great.”

While writing the diary, Cordelia suddenly thought of Jude’s swimsuit again.

She knew that he had a good figure, but it was her fist time seeing such a naked body.

“Eueueu. My face has turned red again.”

Anyway, my blood pressure is always high because of Jude.

Those abs.

I want to touch it once.

Is it firm?

But it’s the body of a human, so it should be soft, right? Or warm?

“Ah, I don’t know.”

I’m not a pervert.

Because Jude also glanced at my body.

Cordelia has a great body.

Hmph.

46.

It’s finally tomorrow.

The decisive battle.

The 300^th founding anniversary of the country will be held tomorrow.

And tomorrow, the Lord Protector will cause an incident.

We’ve prepared everything that we can.

Now all that we have to do is go tomorrow.

The major event that will determine the fate of the kingdom.

But well… I know I shouldn’t be thinking of this, but I’m a little concerned about something else.

The ball.

The evening ball with Jude.

Idiot Jude was very excited to let the world know that Cordelia is the most beautiful girl in the world, so he was busy preparing this and that.

Does he really like to dress me up?

Of course, I also had fun dressing up Jude.

I’ll be dancing with Jude tomorrow…

Frankly, I’m looking forward to it.

Yes, I’m looking forward to it.

Despite being scared and frightened of tomorrow, I’m looking forward to it… Isn’t that a contradiction?

Such are my feelings.

The night is deep.

Tomorrow is approaching.

47.

We won.

But Jude was unconscious and had yet to wake up.

I’m scared.

48.

Jude woke up.

He woke up.

Idiot.

You made me worry.

Idiot, idiot.

And…

Okay, I’m sure of it now.

This idiot Jude likes me.

He likes me.

And… yes.

I like him too.

I like this idiot Jude too.

We cried, laughed, and kissed each other.

No, not a kiss.

Not on the lips.

Just on the cheeks, forehead, neck, ears, collarbone…

It was fun doing it.

I mean, we just attacked each other’s weak points?

Well, we got carried away by the mood. Yes, yes.

First of all, Jude’s weak point was in the ear.

If you slightly bite his earlobe or stick your tongue in his ear, he looked so embarrassed as if he wanted to die.

Umm, did I just say something lewd?

Hehe.

My weak points are… the neck and collarbone.

The quick-witted Jude noticed it, and only attacked that place…

Ah.

It felt really strange.

It was so strange.

But it was so good.

Yes.

Hehe.

This is embarrassing.

I’m so, so embarrassed.

But I liked it.

I liked it.

I like him very much.

Jude, you idiot, I like you!

Haa.

Jude likes me too.

Hehe.

Hehehe.

I’m going to kiss him tomorrow too.

Kiss, kiss.

Kiss, kiss, kiss.
