chapter 234
234 – Side story. After that day
“Just stay still. It’s hard to bandage it.”
“…What kind of artifact is this?”
“Hey, do you think I would treat even a bandage like this as an artifact?”
“Aha.”
“It’s an artifact.”
“…Aha.”
“Anyway, it’s done.”
Tap!
With a few taps on my bandaged arm, hard enough to stop the blood flowing, Liu got behind me.
It’s not that the wound is serious or anything, but it’s just a feeling of pain.
On the outside, there is no trauma, no broken bones or damaged muscles, but it is possible to cause such subtle pain.
It wasn’t a huge pain, but it was a really annoying pain that was too annoying to ignore.
Namgoong Jisoo, this b*tch.
“Why am I supposed to break up after attacking you so openly in front of you? I was glad that everyone already knew that you were a fortune teller with a good mouth.”
“…Still, I was active during the exchange meeting.”
“That activity was buried in your political fight with the collateral royal family. You’re earning your own money, you brat.”
It was a battle royale event that we worked hard to prepare, but the host was the first to be eliminated.
Of course, the 2nd year representative is the 1st year representative.
That too from her older brother to her younger sister!
“Dirty strong b*tch…….”
“Well, from what I heard, he was a Sentai ? Of course he’s strong.”
“Now that he is free, he seems to be slowly losing his temper.”
“But what can I do? I’m your sister-in-law.”
“……Yes?”
“It’s nothing. I don’t need your consent anyway.”
Yes? Hey?
Is it Liu?
“Don’t worry, fortune teller. I will definitely come back victorious!”
“Uh…Yes.”
“What about the evil b*tch, the violent princess, and the second-year middle school saint?”
“He’s already come and gone.”
“Everyone said similar stories, right?”
“…Yes.”
“That’s right. Accept it.”
“……………….”
“I go first.”
With those words, Liu left the base first with a truly solemn expression on his face.
I have no idea what he’s doing, but…… Even if it were true, there would be nothing I could do.
It was the fate of an indecisive man. I’m not the main character in some web novel, and I’ve never even imagined choosing one of the women……
Well, anyway.
“…The sky is clear.”
Although the base is located on the first basement floor, you can see outside through the window.
The sky was clear and transparent, as if it were just a peaceful day.
“……………….”
It was three months ago that I said goodbye to everyone, went to the developer’s room, and killed the former god.
I became a second year student at Romance Academy.
*
It was a big deal when I came back.
It was no joke, it was a really big deal.
‘Because everyone welcomed me warmly…….’
But the problem was that it was a bit extreme.
Rain heals me with supernatural powers, and Lucas helps with magic.
Kim Seong-il urged me to come quickly to the coronation ceremony, and Eunha physically invited me, saying she had prepared a seat next to her.
Saint and Eileen were recuperating from great fatigue from trying to intervene in the developer’s room. So we went to church separately and reunited. I bowed my head and thanked Eileen and the saint several times.
Abel too…… I said thank you, but he just smiled. She was thrilled that the corpse-like bastard had started to laugh properly.
Liu’s reaction was the most dramatic.
As soon as we met, we started kissing each other on the lips.
It’s not a joke, if Lucas and Abel hadn’t done their best, it would have been the same…… Hmm.
Let’s not even think about it.
Slurp.
Add the instant mix coffee to boiled water, stir and savor lightly.
This tastes cheap. The optimal coffee tailored to your taste buds while drinking on the go.
But now, it was also a taste of escaping reality.
Anyway.
‘I’m in my second year.’
Originally, you would have to stay in the 2nd year or the 4th year in the senior year to be able to clear all of Joo Jo-yeon’s character events.
I somehow ended up solving all of the character events within one year.
I have organized all the events and artifacts that can be encountered later.
‘It’s not that it’s not necessary.’
Something like last year…… Should I say that there is no need to be desperate?
All the malice and crisis directed at me and Jisoo have been resolved, and it has been a long time since all other children’s problems were resolved.
What should I say?
‘Burnout?’
I read it in a book. It seems like something like that has arrived.
Because it has been a year of running hard without stopping for the past year.
After solving everything, I feel a lot more relaxed in the three years since.
“This kind of daily life….”
It might not be a bad thing.
Days when you don’t have to worry about character events, academy exams, or various threats.
Even if burnout comes, if what I achieve is this kind of routine──
Suddenly.
“Hey! Namgoong Min!! The stock you bought has doubled!!!”
“Let’s go!!!!”
──Daily life is a mess.
Dopamine is God and stocks are invincible!
*
“What about our Min?”
“I asked my brother to spread the stock news. I’m sure the two of you will have fun at the base for a while.”
“I’ve bought enough time.”
Stocks are a bit difficult…… Still, what can we do if our people are happy?
It seemed like her husband was happy that she had recently stolen confidential information from the imperial family and revealed it to him.
‘No, my brother helped me too, so I didn’t steal it, I received it rightfully.’
What is impossible for my brother, who officially became the emperor of the Korean Empire three months ago? It was not difficult to provide internal information about the imperial family for our citizens.
“But princess, how did you let Namgoong Min know about the imperial information? If you said it out loud…”
“I don’t make mistakes twice. It’s easy to spread fragmented information to newspapers, information sites, and people I meet. I think we have a great talent for putting the pieces together and putting them together.”
“…I know very well that Namgoong Min is smart, Princess.”
“Oh my, did it seem like I was bragging? Please excuse me.”
Paddeuk.
Rain finished expressing his emotions by distorting the cup of tea he was lightly drinking with his
Superpower, and glared coldly at Eunha, who was smiling brightly.
Like at the beginning of the semester, we are using polite language because of our social class, but it has been a long time since we chewed it out a few times on the inside.
However, at that time, she was Lane Arthur, who was just one of Arthur’s marriage tools, and now she is Lane Arthur, a powerful person who owns the largest faction within her family as the younger sister of the head of the family.
She just became okay with reactions that crossed the line little by little.
‘Oppa, really…….’
She told Namgoong Min to take his time, but she didn’t ask him to go into stocks with her.
Still, she was playing around, investing only her pocket money, so if she had been sitting by and tampered with the family’s public funds, she would have been beaten long ago.
Her older brother, who is enjoying life at the academy while leaving some of the work of the head of the household to Hector, who has retired, and Gregor Arthur, is living the most comfortable life in the world, isn’t he?
If it wasn’t for my promise to persuade Namgoong Min well and bring him in as my brother-in-law……
“Anyway, Lane, you seem to be in a pretty good mood.”
“……Princess, did you see it that way?”
“Ah, I’m comparing it to three months ago. At that time, you were in an atmosphere where even I couldn’t get close to you.”
“……Yes.”
The day Namgoong Min left.
She said goodbye with a kiss calmly in front of him, but of course Lane was in a state of panic until her Namgoong Min returned.
With , He causes meaningless destruction to those around him, throws excessive hysterics, and explodes in anger at anyone who touches him……
In fact, that is close to self-destruction as the violent princess in front of us is no different at all.
You do that?
“It was hard for me, but I heard that the princess also had a hard time. I heard that His Majesty the Emperor had a hard time because he almost killed someone.”
“hehehehe.”
“………?”
“Thanks to that, I was able to express the reason for our people’s existence to the imperial family. Of course, my brother and I will look after it, but the feelings of those below can become ugly.”
Huh, so.
Without Namgoong Min, the violent princess couldn’t control And went crazy, so she was appealing that she was essential to the imperial family.
Simply Kim Seong-il…… If the emperor and princess of the Korean Empire were the only ones supporting it, I don’t know what the self-proclaimed loyal subjects would think.
I understand that she convinced everyone of the need for Namgoong Min in exchange for her own image.
‘It’s unpleasant.’
The mindset that Namgoong Min will naturally go to the imperial family is disgusting.
He won the duel with the previous head of the family and is a close friend of the current head of the family, so of course it would be natural for him to come to Arthur.
‘More than anything, have you ever kissed this b*tch?’
Liu It was Lane who maintained his composure even when the mental patient was kissing Namgoong Min. Wouldn’t it be possible to find a violent princess who only says that she loves her in her own words a bit cute?
I still haven’t forgotten the deep kiss I had with Namgoong Min on the day I said goodbye.
‘The tongue…… It was very dirty.’
Rain instinctively realized something that day. It’s probably a long time before she can beat Nam Goong Min, even if only at night.
Now that we have resolved the issues of the sister-in-law, the principal, the emperor, the pope, and Namgoong Min, there will be no problem in attacking us, right?
Until now, we’ve been patient with Namgoong Min because of his past and goals, but isn’t everything resolved now?
…… With that feeling in mind, she broke into Namgoong Min’s bedroom and was stopped by her sister-in-law a few months ago.
With the mindset that if I can’t do it, you can’t either, I joined forces with my sister-in-law to stop the mentally ill b*tch, the violent princess, and the strange saint.
The result was the current standoff. A cruel cold war that says you can’t f*ck Namgoong Min unless you are approved by your sister-in-law.
For this reason, the four female students were trying with all their might to win over their sister-in-law.
‘What.’
There was no income whatsoever.
“Anyway, princess, have you heard anything about the saint?”
“Well, since it’s not a special occupation class and you can’t reveal your occupation to the public…Don’t you meet Mr. Lane more often?”
“Even when I meet him, he just talks like a non-believer, so how can I talk to him?”
In fact, the person of most interest was the saint.
I don’t know why, but my sister-in-law was responding more moderately to saintly women compared to her other female students.
It was the tyranny of a powerful person, but they, who were just insignificant wealthy people, princesses, and psychics, could not resist.
Therefore, the saintess’s work was a topic of conversation that became unpleasant just by mentioning it out loud, but there was a reason why Lane bothered to bring it up.
The violent princess must have guessed it from the beginning.
“Recently, the frequency with which the saintess visits the base has been increasing.”
“……Hmm.”
“If we continue like this…War will break out.”
It wasn’t any metaphor or joke.
Rain thinks that all the girls targeting Namgoong Min are a bit smart.
A great fortune that needs no words.
A princess who speaks with her fists before her words.
Even a saint who fell ill during her second year of middle school and spoke out against non-believers.
It was natural for Raine, the only sane person, to tie her head.
Will such women simply accept that they are not chosen by their sister-in-law?
‘That can’t be possible.’
Right now, Raine herself is thinking of pouring all her strength into dealing with Arthur, but she is no different from other women.
And as long as each has the most money in the world, the world’s greatest power, the family that rules Europe, the church, and the saints.
It was clear that war would unfold almost unconditionally.
Even if it is not a war that mobilizes soldiers and fighter jets.
A war that mobilizes all kinds of slander, threats, fraud, jealousy, appeasement, economic pressure, and political maneuvering.
Once the war breaks out, we will definitely win, but not yet. Because my sister-in-law didn’t choose anyone.
So.
“It means let’s hold hands.”
“No matter how you look at it, the princess is probably the best ally.”
I just chose the only person I could communicate with because she was a violent princess.
It’s much better than a rich man who hates conversation and a saint with whom conversation is difficult.
“hehehehe, I also feel confident if Mr. Lane cooperates.”
“This resonated with me.”
And it was the same for the galaxy.
If things really go wrong and Namgoong Min has to be ‘forcibly’ taken to the imperial palace, the only one among the other b*tches who can fight with Eunha is the superpower.
A great man ultimately has to rely on artifacts, and a saint simply lacks military power.
In that sense, it would be helpful if we could form an alliance with Rain, who is a threat, and understand its trends.
Hide their true feelings from each other, Rain and Eunha lightly shook hands and left.
On the way back to Arthur’s mansion.
Rain opened his mouth after receiving the communication artifact from the user.
“Uh, it’s me.”
“I think I was deceived. I think they felt threatened when I mentioned the saint.”
“Well, I guess this will help reduce the princess’s suspicions. Although it won’t be as good as yours.”
<…… I can’t believe I’m joining hands with a vicious b*tch.>
“I feel disgusted. Don’t forget our promise.”
*
“It looks like the person with psychic powers is in a hurry. To the extent of inviting them first like this.”
“Please don’t forget. If it weren’t for me, you would have been isolated.”
<…… Well, that’s a problem for me too. Do you think that infidel b*tch was fooled?>
“I guess so. Well, you can’t imagine that I’m in cahoots with you. Objectively, you have the best advantage.”
“It’s a very pure intention. This isn’t a race, it’s about knocking out the competition.”
“It means that beating out other competitors is a priority rather than taking first place right in front of you.”
“…I don’t like allies who are too quick-witted.”
