episode_0071

A birthday and the first day of vacation that only I knew about. I fell asleep and waited for the next morning.

However, when I opened my eyes, what came to me was not the next morning, but the white room I had been waiting for because I was so used to it.

And there stood a goddess who seemed to embody beauty.

I stared at her back for a moment. I broke the silence by calling her name.

“.. Eros.”

“It’s been a while. Berador, no… shall I call you Jeongyongha?”

When she looked back, her face brightened and she smiled a beautiful smile that had not changed from before.

Whether she called me Berador or Jeongyongha or any other titles like that, it doesn’t matter anymore.

“As you wish.”

A cold voice that surprised me even when I heard it came out of my mouth.

Eros’ face flinched slightly at that voice, but showed no other reaction.

“Good. Then I’ll call you Berrador.”

Eros nodded slowly, erased the emotions from his face, and stared at my face in silence for a moment.

To be precise, you might be reading my thoughts.

Sure enough, when emotions returned to her face, a faint laugh was heard.

“.. You’ve come up with quite a few hypotheses, right? Even though it was all forced together.”

“Thanks to you, that was it.”

In a situation where I didn’t know exactly how much was true and how much was false, all I could do was come up with a hypothesis.

Even the new hypothesis was all just pieced together, but I think it was for the best just by not stopping and thinking about it.

“But unfortunately, there is no reason why I should tell you the truth.”

“That’s right.. If I had told you in the first place, it wouldn’t have gotten into this mess.

I have no intention of denying that I wanted to meet Eros and learn the truth.

However, I didn’t even think that she would tell him the truth.

okay. It was just wishful thinking.

Eros asked again in a puzzled voice, as if he had read his thoughts this time as well.

“Or… is there anything else you want?”

“Why. Also, feel free to read and say whatever you want, don’t bother asking.”

“…”

The same cold voice as before came out.

Even if you make a face like you’re hurt now, I have no intention of doing anything about it.

It is true that my perception of her has improved compared to before.

However, my original perception of her was so deep that I cannot call it good even now.

Okay, let’s give it a try and say that it’s okay to read people’s thoughts as you please.

Well, it’s good that I was brought to another world.

But how many people would like a being that can play with people’s memories at will?

Even if those memories are your own?

I can say categorically that there is no such thing.

Eros, who was resting his chin and tapping his lips, nodded and said.

“I want something, but… I don’t have any expectations for it, right?”

“I know you well.”

When I first heard about the record. At that time, I thought it would be resolved if I met Eros.

However, it wasn’t long before I realized how stupid that idea was.

If she had been going to teach me the truth in the first place, she wouldn’t have manipulated my memories.

It was easy to guess if I thought about it a little, but at the time, I was so mentally shaken that I couldn’t even think for a moment.

Eros closed his eyes and frowned slightly as if he was thinking about something, but when his mouth opened, his vision began to blur.

“.. Berador.”

“Why.. speak quickly.”

It started as a small wave, but the wave quickly grew, and within a few seconds, the field of vision began to turn white.

Eros spoke slowly, as if he didn’t know my situation.

“If your mana turns into godhood… maybe…”

Thanks to that, I ended up not being able to hear everything and my vision turned white.

‘.. What if Mana turns into Godhead…?’

” Mr. Ha..”

How is it that there isn’t anything you like?

*

‘ha..’

After meeting Eros, he woke up, but without moving, he remembered what Eros was trying to say.

-If your mana turns into godhood… maybe…

A line that stopped at such an odd timing.

What on earth would happen if my mana ended the deification, and what did Eros mention?

I want to grab Eros by the collar and ask her right now, but I only look at her when she feels like it.

In other words, we won’t know the answer until then.

“Haa..”

Unlike before, this time there were no hints, making it impossible to come up with a hypothesis.

Even if you force it, it would be a shame to call it a hypothesis.

After thinking about it for a while, I gave up.

“.. I don’t know..”

Now that I don’t know anything, if I think more, I won’t find the answer, but will just wander aimlessly in the maze.

Leave it in the back of your mind for now and bring it up again if you get any hints.

After that, a new topic was brought up that would hit us right away.

‘engagement..’

Approximately 10 days from now we will be heading to the bow room.

The reason is, of course, his engagement to Agnes.

The next schedule has not yet been decided, but it is likely that he will stay at the imperial palace until the end.

‘I’m embarrassed to say it with my own mouth…’

In this world, the influence that a person like me has can be considered to be just below that of the emperor.

Just as officially known.

The cherished youngest child of the Empire’s only ducal family and the son of an archmage.

I was even the one who entered the Agrippina Academy and achieved near-top grades.

The time when people called me a fancier is long gone.

‘.. It was like that until I entered the academy..’

Anyway, if I leave the imperial family right after getting engaged, bad rumors will spread.

For example, the engagement was forced, or my relationship with Agnes is not very good.

For that reason, there is a high possibility that he will stay in the imperial family for a long time.

It would be better to do everything you need to do before getting engaged.

‘Perhaps the imperial family rejects it…’

“Puhup..”

It was my idea, but I couldn’t help but laugh at the nonsense.

Rather than worrying about such things, it would be more meaningful to worry about whether God will destroy the world.

“Fuck you.”

I decided to stop thinking about nothing and got up from where I was lying down.

but.

bean!

“Gyaak!!”

The head that was going up hit something and fell back to the floor.

“.. Ouch..”

To be honest, it didn’t hurt, but I made it out of courtesy after hearing the scream I just heard.

This time, I slept alone instead of with Bea…?

I cautiously opened my eyes and saw Bea holding her forehead with both hands and tears welling up in her eyes.

“.. Since when has it been there..?”

“.. Joe, a little while ago..”

Bea, who was speaking with her pupils shaking as if there had been an earthquake, closed her mouth once and then opened it again.

“Two, about two hours..?”

“…”

I checked the clock on the wall and saw that it was 9 o’clock.

If so, it means that he was looking at me from 7 o’clock until now.

Moreover, instead of sleeping together like usual, we fell asleep in a different room…

“.. Why?”

Rather than being angry or horrified, I was curious about the reason.

How on earth did I fall into the path of voyeurism?

No matter how much you like someone, you don’t want to show them sleeping.

Showing yourself sleeping with someone you want to sleep with is no different from showing your defenseless state.

You might think it’s okay for a while, but if you stare at it for hours, something is wrong.

“.. I was scared..”

“.. Huh..?”

But the words that came out of Bea’s mouth were unexpected.

Even just looking at the academy, there was no one stronger than her.

Moreover, since this is a place I have been staying in since I was young, all the people who use it probably know it.

Perhaps my feelings of not understanding were conveyed, so I supplemented what Bea had said earlier.

“.. I was scared that it wouldn’t happen.. you idiot..”

“…”

‘I thought it was a little better now…’

While I was at the academy, I talked about it once in a while.

Every time that happened, Bea didn’t react as dramatically as she did the first time, so I just thought she was okay.

However, it seems like it didn’t show up and it didn’t seem to be getting any better.

Bea was so embarrassed that she actually said those words and pulled up the blanket to cover her face.

Even so, the red-stained ears that were not covered.

Maybe it’s because his hair is white, but his red ears look even redder.

“Why are you so shy?”

“Uuuu..”

Bea was taller and bigger than me, but at times like this, she was a no-nonsense kid.

It’s so… embarrassing to reveal one’s inner thoughts…

I hugged Bea tightly, who was holding on to the blanket with both hands.

At first there was some resistance to run away, but it was only temporary.

Now he is quietly leaning in my arms.

“Don’t worry. That doesn’t happen anymore.”

“.. Lie.. You are not God. How do you know..”

God.. God..

Once the deification of Mana is achieved, will I also become a god?

Then you don’t need to worry any more.

“That guy will become a god.”

“P.. What is that.”

He must have thought it was a joke, but a sound of laughter was heard.

I can’t say it was 100% a joke, but I didn’t bother to explain it.

How long has it been?

As I was stroking the head of Bea in my arms, I could hear the rhythmic sound of breathing.

It looks like he was there longer than the 2 hours he told me.

I pinched Bea’s sleeping cheek to stretch it without causing any pain, and then laid her on the bed.

“.. Good night.”

“Wow..”

I kissed her cheek as she answered in her sleep and left the room.

After walking through the hallways and encountering several users, I was able to reach my destination.

smart

“.. Father, let me go in.”
