Former Hero, Solo Play Oriented

It was too late at night to keep arguing with Kris.

In the end, I couldn’t convince her, and the Second Named Boss attempt was forced to end.

Midnight.

A dim nightlight cast a faint glow over Kris’s bedroom.

Lying in bed, I slowly opened my eyes and checked Kris’s condition.

“Kuuuuh.”

She was completely out, sleeping without a care in the world.

I carefully moved her arm aside and began to sneak out of bed—

But just as I was about to escape—

Ssslide, Thud!

Kris’s arm coiled around my waist like a snake, squeezing me firmly.

“Guh!”

Startled, I flinched and nervously glanced at her face.

"Where’s my little Slvi sneaking off to in the middle of the night?"

With a mischievous grin, Kris smirked at me.

"Hiiik."

While Kris briefly stepped out into the living room, I sat obediently on the bed.

I shut my eyes tight, bracing myself to get scolded.

This was my fault.

Sure, Kris was a deep sleeper, but she also had a sixth sense for when I disappeared from her embrace.

She must have noticed I snuck out last night.

Maybe she let it slide because I wasn’t doing anything dangerous in Astria Continent at the time.

But how much did Kris really know?

She probably suspected I had done an unscheduled solo attempt, but she wouldn’t know I had actually crossed over using my real body.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

This time, though, I had openly mentioned getting hit by a pattern, which must have put her on high alert.

Unlike the First Named Boss, the Second Named Boss didn’t seem to have blatantly broken mechanics.

Still, there was a chance the system had been tampered with.

That meant I needed to check it myself—as a Goddess.

So, I had planned to open a dimensional gate and investigate…

…But that plan was ruined.

"This won’t do."
