chapter 14
14 – Return
The fact that the body recovers quickly after the aftereffects of the resurrection is over, Bessia thought it was the effect of the necklace.
“Isn’t that a necklace scam? You say you’re walking around like that already? If I wear it for a few days, I will be able to move quickly.”
“Then would you like to take it?”
“…don’t say that even as a joke.”
She was treating the root of the star I was wearing as if it were my lifeline.
It’s just a good artifact to me, but how did this misunderstanding come about… .
Still, being an immortal was far better than being caught.
The origin of the star is also a powerful artifact that can replace a dagger.
And when I thought the time had come, I spoke to Bethia.
“Now I will go back.”
“What, what?”
Bethia, who was eating a lot of cake, is embarrassed.
How embarrassing it must have been to put cream all over her mouth.
“There’s nothing to be surprised about, this isn’t my home in the first place, and I’m not going to live there for the rest of my life.”
“But, are you leaving already?”
I don’t think it’s a little early, but I do.
It’s only been three days since I’ve been here.
At least, she thought she knew she would stay for another fortnight.
“I also have a home to return to. There is no reason to stay here for long.”
“Your body isn’t all better.”
“I can treat it at my parents’ house, what to do?”
Looking at Bessia, who was regretful, he smiled and stroked her hair.
It’s a pity.
When was the last time you felt that way?
“Just as you are worried, my family must be worried too.”
“Yeah, that’s right, like Bishop Rebega.”
When I brought up the family story, she took a step back.
…of course, to meet the schedule.
Soon, it’s time for the academy entrance exams to begin.
“…You said you were going to the academy, right?”
As much as I talked about asking the bishop to recommend the academy, it seems like he tipped off Bessia.
“yes.”
“I’m going to the academy too, so see you there.”
“…in your condition?”
Bethia was furious.
“Of course I know I am! I’ll transfer halfway through, so just fail the entrance exam.”
“Intermediate transfer? Isn’t this the way to enter the school through the bishop?”
“What’s the shortcut, I’m going to enter the test fair and square, so know it!”
What do you say… .
He just said something like this.
“Don’t overdo it.”
“…Okay.”
Holy power close to that of a saint.
Relations with Bishop Rebega.
The source of the stars I received.
Calculating this, it would have been a loss if Besiah was overdoing it and accidentally getting hurt.
I said it with that in mind, but her cheeks turned red.
I’m not sure why.
“Ah, whatever! See you again at the academy!”
“I will.”
“We go to a cafe together there, huh? Eat something delicious.”
“If you want that.”
And the time has come.
I had a good time at church, but when I finally had to go back.
Thankfully, the bishop even arranged a reservation for the teleport magic circle.
It is the moment of parting.
Bessia, who usually wore a patient uniform, came out to see her off in a neat appearance, properly dressed in a priestly uniform.
Beside him was the Bishop of Rebega.
My clothes disappeared without a trace from the time I was kidnapped, so I had to buy new ones.
Bishop Revega also adjusted that.
A well-suited nobleman’s attire.
…Levega couldn’t help but be grateful for Bishop’s sincerity.
I can promise you at least one of them.
If Bethia is in danger once more.
I promise to save you.
But at the same time, I also had my doubts.
I still couldn’t recall Bishop Rebega from my memory.
…It’s one of two things that there are people who don’t know about the main characters.
Either I died before I was released from slavery, or I was demoted to a position too low.
Worst case of both anyway.
I’ll have to watch it sometime.
When Bessia saw me standing at the entrance of the church, she smiled.
“Huh~ But I look good because I’m dressed up.”
“is it?”
“See you later, don’t be discouraged if you fail the academy exam.”
I laughed at the words that were no different from such curse words.
Can I really fall?
Caught in a children’s fight, if it’s a giant, it’s a giant.
Bishop Rebega brought out a dagger.
In a way, it was something that should be sealed in the church right away, but he had it in the form of keeping it for a while because it belonged to me.
This was also the consideration of the bishop.
“…Please use it only in case of emergency.”
“I will.”
Make it last.
It leads to a brief farewell.
Similar to the past, there was nothing around me.
But what was empty has been filled to some extent.
It was a little less empty.
**
After moving on the teleport magic circle, he moved to a city close to Baron Britain.
Still, there was no way the teleportation magic circle would mark the coordinates in a lonely corner of the countryside, so I moved to a city close to it.
And I saw a lot of familiar faces.
…I didn’t expect all of them to come.
“Oppaaa!!!!”
Bombs were dropped from the start.
Ariel headbutted me.
“Ahh, are you okay? Are you okay?”
“It’s okay, calm down.”
“I was surprised, aww!”
After that, my brother came.
“I’m glad.”
After a word, he tapped me on the shoulder.
In the past, Ardel joined the Golden Knights in an effort to find the missing day.
Guardians of the capital.
It was an important position where a lot of information was pouring in, so I thought I could find me with this.
It was only one word, one action, but I know how worried he was and how hard he ran.
Behind him were his father and Caron.
Caron was crying right there.
Do real women cry a lot?
At this point, a stereotype will emerge.
“Hey, Bitch, Neim… . What a relief. Whoops. I couldn’t do anything on the spot.”
“If you believed in me that I would come back, it would work.”
Didn’t need much consolation.
The biggest consolation for them.
Because it was the fact that I came back.
Finally father.
“Thank you so much for coming back, and I’m sorry.”
“Are you sorry about anything?”
“…I can’t do anything even if I know the main culprit.”
opponent is the executive branch.
royal hands and feet.
It was not an opponent that only a Korean-American baron could resist.
“Good job.”
If I had rebelled, it would have been even more embarrassing.
Because the family would have been trampled under the overwhelming power.
“Sometimes doing nothing is a better decision.”
“…That’s right.”
Meetings with families took place.
The moment when I truly felt that I had returned.
The moment when you think that the empty things are almost being filled.
Fear was also felt.
It’s time to get all your emotions back.
When I know joy and sorrow and laughter and joy.
The past that killed and destroyed everything with madness.
It will be a terrible nightmare.
So I put it off for a while.
everything is over
Yes, kill the Demon King.
It is to mark the end of the curse.
The end of the madness that dominated my whole life.
That’s how you decorate it.
**
Some time has passed.
Completely freed from the aftereffects of the resurrection, the body returned to its perfect condition.
At the time when various magics were being used as the source of the stars.
There was only a carriage left to depart for the academy.
“Are you really thinking of going?”
“That’s right.”
It was a short conversation in the family room.
Father was concerned.
“The situation in the kingdom is not very good. Consolation is when the Demon King’s army, in Korea, when even the royal family doesn’t know what they are thinking, and besides, the time when the great hero enters the academy.”
Trouble among troubles.
Going to the academy at a time like this might be a pretty dangerous act.
It’s actually the same.
Until the hero entered and graduated, the academy suffered an unprecedented number of deaths.
It’s to the point where people say that the academy is collapsing at this rate.
…Come to think of it, didn’t there be casualties from the entrance exam?
But what?
Gaya, Gaya helps the warrior and kills the demon king.
I can’t help it because it’s hard to kill the demon king with my own hands.
“Nevertheless, I intend to go.”
“…If that’s what you mean, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Dad finally agreed.
Even though I’m worried, it’s inevitable for nobles to go to the academy.
If you can’t usually go, you’re treated as half-noble.
So I have no choice but to go.
When I came out to the homeroom, Ariel was sticking her head out just like this time.
As soon as he saw me, he jumped out like a mole emerging from the ground.
“brother! Aren’t you going to the academy?!”
“No, I go.”
“No! Daddy promised me he wouldn’t let me go!”
…When did my father make such a promise again?
Even so, the heart that does not want to block the future of the child must have allowed it ahead of time.
Of course, I was thinking of running away at night if I stopped it.
“Don’t go… .”
rubbing…
Ardel, who was watching Ariel being dragged by my clothes, sighed deeply and said to me.
“Academy, nothing special. If you make good friends, do as you are told, and work hard, everything will be over soon.”
“yes?”
“Except for special places such as Class 1, there would be no danger of nobles risking death. Even if you want to go in, you can’t. there.”
It was hot on the inside.
I was overflowing with thoughts of entering class 1, but what does it mean to me to be dangerous anyway.
i don’t die
Besides that, my brother told me various stories.
Even if I had regressed, I had never attended an academy, so it was worth listening to.
Factional fights that started in the dormitory and started in adolescence.
It was a place where the sons of nobles gathered, so the quality of politics was quite natural.
Various problems, such as walking a tightrope to the high-ranking nobles of Gonghubaek and the bullying that arises from it.
“If you don’t treat me too much, you won’t be bullied. I was worried in the past, but it won’t happen to you now.”
If I was a weak person in the past, I would definitely do nothing and just suffer.
Conversely, during periods of madness, it may tear limbs apart.
I won’t kill you now
won’t kill
“…just do it in moderation, I won’t worry too much.”
“See you later.”
“Okay, be sure to come down to the main house around vacation.”
And Ariel, who was still crying, whined.
“Ahhh, don’t go.”
“If anyone sees it, they will know that I am going to die.”
I managed to free Ariel from clinging to my clothes, and arrived at the carriage heading to the academy.
In front of him, Caron was waiting.
She accompanies her as an exclusive maid, but it does not mean that she can enter the academy together.
Students who could use servants were limited to high-ranking nobles and royalty.
If I pass the test, the only one who has to go back is Caron.
Still, Caron was happy to serve me.
“I will depart.”
Caron boarded the wagon with me this time as well.
Ariel, still unable to let go of her lingering feelings, could be seen cursing from behind.
“Away from the test, come back home and throw it away!”
“Puff.”
“…I don’t understand.”
Caron laughed as if he couldn’t stand it.
I was somewhat incomprehensible.
I have no choice but to go anyway, so what does it mean to stop it?
Besides, there is no chance of failing the test.
As if Caron had read my feelings, he told me as if defending Ariel.
“It’s because the young lady really likes the young master.”
“It’s not like I won’t see you again.”
“Because it’s okay to fall for a while.”
“…yes.”
The feelings of others are something to be understood gradually.
It wasn’t far from going to the academy.
The wagon rolled away.
Camping every day, having a tasteless meal, and similar daily life passes by as if on a treadmill.
Still, the carriage went on.
A stone road was formed from the dirt floor, and a troupe or people were seen moving in the same direction.
I slept in the city for a day, and after purchasing the necessary items for the journey again, I ran further and saw the second largest city next to the capital among the cities I had seen so far.
It was the end of a journey and the beginning of a new one.
“…Academy.”
A magnificent building erected in the center of the city.
It is an educational facility that people come from other countries to enter the academy.
A long line stood in front of the academy, and at the center of it was the site where students applied for the entrance exam.
