by fnovelpia[…] … … Crazy guy.]
As soon as I fell asleep, I heard swearing.
Atrot was glaring at me with a very dissatisfied look.
[Why are you doing this?]
[You guy… ha… … You keep talking. I think it’s better not to know.]
[hmm?]
[I would rather approach without hesitation.]
Approach without hesitation… .
Is this about Ronika and me?
That expression. It’s like a face that looks frustrated at someone who doesn’t have any sense.
What did I miss?
I was just behaving normally… .
Suddenly it passes by.
We stick together during the festival.
Two eyes that trembled every time we met.
My disciple’s cheeks turn red whenever he gets the chance.
Was it just shame?
From the beginning of the festival, we clung to each other like lovers, wearing the same ears and tails.
Like ‘Lovers’… .
Now that I think about it, there were times when I avoided eye contact, and it was a little difficult to read his inner thoughts. It’s as if he’s trying to hide his emotions from me.
If that was the feeling of a lover… .
oh my god.
Everything is explained.
I couldn’t believe I didn’t know even though I was in love with him.
but… .
Even though I am a ghost?
[Tsk. I guess you noticed the theme. That shocked face is worth looking at.]
[…] … … .]
I felt dizzy.
In that situation, I acted without hesitation, just like I usually did when I was recovering.
This is something we always share when returning water.
Skinship.
Touching, stroking and sleeping together.
It was something only lovers would do.
Atrot’s first words were deeply understood.
I was crazy.
[…] I’m not that kind of trash. Be a little more careful from now on.]
[That is also a problem. Just treat it like normal.]
[…] I will try my best.]
[I’m sure you’re quick to notice… I mean, he’s a strangely frustrating guy. This is why it is lowly.]
I thought while listening with one ear.
Let’s just decide for now.
At least be careful when it comes to human bodies.
You need to change your habits when changing water.
The standard is… Rubbing your cheeks is prohibited. In the first place, you probably shouldn’t rub your cheeks with a human body, but let’s be as careful as possible when doing anything more than that.
Because it’s a terrible thing.
Artrot brought up another topic.
[More than that, you… You successfully summoned the castle lord.]
[It was something that could not be helped.]
Did I not like it this time?
Once again, he started swearing while looking at the crazy person.
[What happened to your head? Are you inviting the lord of Necropolis to save a barely dead child? Unless you go crazy.]
[I am fine. This is a gamble I took only because I know a little about Seongju.]
[Are you talking about my sweet past life memories? The balance is not right at all! There are levels of deity, and the Holy Lord belongs to the highest level of deity. It means that you are now trapped in that bitch’s hands!!!]
[It has nothing to do with you, does it?]
[What!… Of course… … You guy!! Don’t talk back. Didn’t I almost get exposed because of you?]
[So you intervened on your own.]
[Even if this guy helps me!!… No, I never helped you, but I blocked you in advance because I was afraid that I would be exposed because of you!]
[Are you scared?]
[Haaaa!!? Not at all!! There is nothing in this world that this body fears!!]
[…] But I can stop it alone-]
[shut up!! I will not listen to excuses.]
[…] … … .]
Still reckless.
But I didn’t dig further.
No matter what, she helped me and even organized the event with Ronika. Ironically, I was betraying my debt to my greatest enemy.
That’s the clear truth… .
I don’t feel like it, but there’s nothing I can do.
[thanks.]
[…] what?]
[Even though I can’t kneel, I have to say this. Thank you for helping me.]
[…] … … Hmm, hmm. You mean thing. It is natural to worship the grace of this body… No, get out of there right now!! Because I don’t want to see you like that.]
[I refuse.]
Is he really angry?
Are you embarrassed?
Originally, it was a situation where I should have felt ashamed, but now that I’m gone, all I can do is laugh.
Does he know?
I now see one possibility.
We are clearly enemies… .
I can help you if you want.
This too is a difficult problem.
What will it be like for you and me in the future?
And when will we face each other?
Of course, if we actually meet them face to face, they might fight more fiercely than they do now.
Just like now, emitting an unpleasant aura-
what?… .
Why did I only see it now?
Artrot’s appearance is a little different from usual.
It seems like he’s trying to hide it, but he’s secretly showing signs of annoyance.
Although it is not as strong as Ronika’s love, we can also recognize some emotions and thoughts. As long as you don’t hide it.
But I can’t control it.
I feel a hidden feeling of anger.
Did I do something to make you angry?
Did you just laugh? Then you’re saying I’m not the subject of the emotion… .
I glanced at Artrot.
A scorched smell somewhere.
It smells different.
Rather than the smell itself.
Identity.
… case.
I feel like Artrot is of a different class. Have we perhaps entered a new realm?
[Have you ever achieved enlightenment?]
[…] … under? Don’t worry.]
Atrot wrinkled his face.
He realized that I had noticed something.
Perhaps because of that, I could hear the deep anger in his voice that he had been hiding until just now.
As if to not ask any more questions.
Why?
Why are you angry?
Haven’t you achieved enlightenment?
Or are you out of date like me?
Once again, I focused on Artrot’s status.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been practicing cases for a while, but I know how to distinguish between cases.
ah… i get it.
A tingling energy buried in this guy. This is someone other than Artrot. In other words, it felt like I encountered another godhead while I was away.
[It looks like you met someone.]
[Don’t meddle. I just saw a strange guy.]
The guy’s face becomes more crumpled.
It is certainly.
He clearly met someone. And it probably wasn’t a very good meeting.
[Is it another spirit king?]
[Don’t ask.]
[Did someone start a fight?]
Quickly.
The guy stood up angrily at my question.
[Shut up!! Before sewing up that mouth.]
It doesn’t seem like he has any intention of telling me anything.
But this reaction.
Looks like he really had a fight with someone.
Instead of pretending to be angry every time he sees me, he looks genuinely angry.
Who really made her angry?
There won’t be much benefit if we continue talking like this.
[…] … Come visit often.]
what.
I’ll find out when I get the chance.
*
The dream-like festival has ended.
As if nothing had happened, the training center returned to normal and education began.
Even when the Dukedom collapsed and the country was about to collapse, the training center did not get involved. I focused on teaching the cadets as if nothing happened.
However, unlike education, both cadets and instructors often talked about crafts.
Why did the duke die?
There’s an emergency in the kingdom.
An unidentified beast had invaded.
The situation is rife with speculation and rumors.
“Hmm… … ”
But instructor Chalosi was a little different.
Her eyes lit up with facts other than the collapse of the Dukedom.
‘I feel like instructor Chalosi keeps looking at me while teaching… … .’
‘It’s because I saw you with me on the festival day.’
It’s me.
In addition to her education, she spied on Ronica whenever she had time. It seemed like he thought I was hovering around Ronika.
answer.
Is it because of that?
At some point, the gaze that was watching Ronica was on Ronica’s shoulder.
It immediately started focusing on me.
Since it was a phantom beast, it would have been perfect to be suspicious.
If the unidentified man, who cannot be seen no matter how hard you search, is in fact a phantom beast transformed, all the circumstances fit perfectly.
As expected, he is a quick-witted guy.
There was confidence in his eyes.
Although I didn’t dig into it directly, it is certain that the training center director was also secretly observing me after that day, so my identity was discovered.
So, I would have reported it to the training center director.
I didn’t really care.
Because there doesn’t seem to be any intention to do anything. It’s just curiosity and the intention to identify any possible risk factors at the training center.
After a few days, the surveillance disappeared.
The training center returns to normal.
day.
Two days.
“Ugh… I can’t concentrate because of the festival.”
However, the aftermath of the castle’s destruction was too great.
The student, whose mental burden had increased due to the recent news, fell asleep during training for the first time.
After completing training, return to your accommodation.
Immediately turn on the bracelet and communicate with Venus.
[Leader… It looks like Hysterion has completely made up his mind about this matter. If we do well, our headquarters might be moved to another location. The central nobility is putting a lot of pressure on me regarding this matter.]
“Ugh… Grandpa, things should go well.”
After the incident, we communicated every day.
What is the situation in the kingdom?
What about Andrew?
What does hysterion do?
Because of this, you can’t help but feel mentally tired.
To explain the news a bit, first of all, the hysterion was absolutely extreme.
The entire Goliath corps was armed, hired a large number of mercenaries, prepared to evacuate at any time, and entered the palace alone.
He then submitted his appeal directly to the king.
About the duke’s corruption.
This is to take away the honor of the deceased duke.
Anyway, as the investigation progresses, the secret fight between Hysterion and the Duke will be revealed, so it is correct to assume that he struck first.
Moreover, since his only granddaughter almost died, there is nothing left to see.
He submitted evidence that the duke had attacked him and even reported all the illegal activities, including the black market that Rauf and Erika had destroyed.
As a result.
A trial is held.
Aside from the situation in the kingdom, he must win this trial immediately to have a way out. This is because he accused Hysterion of being a traitor in order to become a central noble.
If you lose, run… .
No, I must wipe out the kingdom.
What will the trial be like?
What will happen to the country in the future?
Unprecedented chaos in the kingdom.
Thanks to this, there was a bit of a ripple effect at the training center as well.
Several outstanding instructors were selected and dispatched to the investigation team. Thanks to this, the position of the investigation team formed by Chalosi is likely to increase.
Only after checking such news every day did Ronica devote herself to training.
like that… .
Time passed frantically.
*
A month and fifteen days have passed since the Duke died.
There was a big crisis.
Pillars of the Kingdom.
Duke of Avalon.
As everything paralyzed by his breath, the government was greatly shaken.
The status of head of the central nobility disappeared.
This caused a lot of problems.
Political battles broke out among the nobles, each greedy for dukedom or vacant public office, and the princes actively engaged in a power struggle.
There were many other problems.
The residents of the vast northeast were virtually in a lawless zone, and the defense of the border area was significantly weakened due to the sudden loss of military power.
Public order worsens.
Trade decreased.
A fight breaks out.
Military power in the northeast was weakened.
The Demetrian Empire sees an opportunity.
etc
A confusing political situation.
The country has become a mess.
Hysterion’s quick response and effort? That didn’t really help.
Politics is not solved with money.
This is because multiple interests are intertwined.
Thanks to this, the trial was also dangerous.
The duke’s corruption was soon buried, and the central nobles united in this incident and framed Hysterion as the traitor who murdered the duke, and there was also an incident where someone attacked Goliath.
Isabelle came forward and suppressed it easily, but thanks to this, Ronica was unable to concentrate on her education, and I thought about going to help for a while.
Hysterion could kill you if you’re not careful.
If that were the case, I would have destroyed the kingdom… Fortunately, it didn’t get to the worst.
Currently, the state affairs have been fully restored.
The reason is simple.
King’s intervention.
Caesar II, who had been passively conducting state affairs, appeared in person and declared.
The duke was a bad guy.
Thanks to this, Hysterion won the trial.
The verdict was reached in an instant and the duke’s property was restored to the royal family.
It was on a completely different level from how the princes moved in a fight for the throne. The nobles were immobilized, and empty public offices were filled by the king’s power.
It was quite surprising.
In fact, it was difficult to bring down the duke just because Hysterion was exposed. Because they are the authors who erased their traces so thoroughly.
It’s enough to just take it off.
It all turned upside down in an instant. Because of just one being.
The king revealed all of the duke’s dark business and illegal activities, including slave trading, and there was a clear list of information and corruption that even Hysterion could not find out.
The nobles were frozen.
This was especially true for those who had deep ties and dealings with the duke.
Afterwards, the burning kingdom was extinguished in one go.
The national situation was restored to a surprisingly stable condition.
Hysterion said this:
It seems like the current king was hiding his power.
In part, it is said that the nobles were allowed to dominate.
Rather, he hid himself in the aristocratic strife.
We met face to face once.
He said he was someone whose true intentions were unknown.
I wonder what secret there is… That’s not something to worry about.
Hysterion won the case.
I also no longer need to go to war.
In other words, training camp life will continue in the future.
“Negro! What are you thinking about alone? Let’s practice together~”
It’s already evening.
Ronika opened the door to the dorm and came in.
After winning the trial, the disciple returned to his cheerful self.
As you can see, I am focusing on my training again.
“Sure.”
I stood up.
In my human form, I was sitting quietly on Ronica’s bed. I was taking a break after taking some time to write a magic book for Fiona.
Originally, he went to attend training together under the guise of a phantom beast, but after revealing his identity, he was able to rest and move freely whenever he wanted.
But dinner is an exception.
This is because it is a time to directly guide students.
Although he has to go around in the guise of a ghost to hide his identity, there is no problem as he can teach much more efficiently with love and contact skills.
“Today, I will teach you a new technology.”
“Gasp!! Is it real? Do you have to keep those words?”
“Of course.”
Also, the disciple, who was embarrassed by every little thing after revealing his identity, has now completely adapted and, as you can see, treats him warmly.
They say time is medicine.
The same smile as before.
… As expected, it’s nice to see a smile like that.
◎︎ Release handprinting.
Pong!~
Tadat!
I climbed onto my disciple’s shoulders.
“hihi~”
Sigh~
I rub my cheeks like I always do.
For your information, the disciple only rubs or strokes his cheek in this way when he is in phantom form. It seemed burdensome to pet the human form.
you also.
me too.
It would definitely be uncomfortable.
No matter what, it’s bound to be easier to deal with the baby’s return.
I am satisfied with this for now.
“Gazua!!~”
“Kang!”
We headed to the training center together.
