Time passed by stickily and wetly.

Irusia gritted her teeth.

“I’m sorry.”

◦Not %◦.”

The pain is gradually subsiding. Even so, it is not something a person with a clear mind can endure. Despite this, Sid smiles slyly.

◦Not %◦, what.”

“You know. Don’t be sorry?”

“Thank you.”

“Right, right.”

Irusia puffed out her cheeks.

“Am I a kid? Even though I’m like this, if you look at my age… Ah.”

Come to think of it, Seed said he trained for hundreds of years in virtual space. No matter what the Demon King does, he is incomparable.

“Wait a minute, so you’re a huge inspirational person inside?”

“… Well, maybe not?”

As we live long lives, watch the world and people change, and experience countless things, our spirits grow old.

But since I always trained in the same swordsmanship in the same snowy fields, I have no experience or knowledge of life whatsoever.

The mind has become more childlike.

Even Tyler keeps asking for candy, saying that it is bad for his health. Adults can eat a mountain of candy, but they hold back for the sake of their health.

A child can just throw a tantrum and say he doesn’t want to do his homework, but adults silently endure it and continue to work every day to sustain their lives.

In other words, thinking rationally and enduring is what an adult is. In that sense, Sid was probably one of the most capricious children in human history.

“I thought about it. Even if you did the same thing as in your past life, I’ll just take your side this time.”

If you turn back time, will all your previous sins disappear? Perhaps the act of turning back time itself is killing everyone who lived in that time period.

Still.

“I can’t eat it.”

For the sake of peace, justice, and other things of humanity, I did all sorts of things in my past life, trying to kill my childhood friend.

I feel like this is something I really can’t do.

So I decided not to do it this time. Of course, it can’t be the right thing to do. No matter how much you tell your child to go to bed early, he or she will still make a fuss about going to bed a little later.

Just like a child who refuses to brush his teeth no matter how much his parents nag him about his teeth rotting. He just wants to do whatever he wants.

‘… Hmm, but we didn’t have normal parents like that.’

Irusia said bluntly, avoiding eye contact.

“You idiot. You have to stop him before that happens.”

“I’ll try.”

“Okay? Then first of all. I’ll hug you again right away.”

“Huh? Oh, yeah.”

Hug.

“Ah… I’m calming down. … Hmm. I see. I can feel your sincerity~. Hehe.”

Irusia nodded with satisfaction.

A magician is someone who has trained his mind to the limit, as opposed to a warrior who has trained his body to the limit.

As if a skilled warrior could read the opponent’s next move through the muscles they made contact with, even with just a light touch.

On the other hand, a wizard who had reached a high level could read the movements of the mind, even if it was weak. Of course, it was not like reading thoughts with mind reading, but to a general extent.

I could tell that Seed’s words were not just words.

“You’re such an idiot~. Then you’ll get punished by heaven? Let’s see. Hmm?”

Between the hot sincerity, there was another emotion that was very hot.

‘oh.’

Irusia’s cheeks turned red.

I concentrated my mind and followed the flow of emotion. I dug into the emotions that Seed had been secretly keeping. Something was gathering hotly. If it was this hot of an emotion, then maybe.

Going deeper, I saw that all of Seed’s mind and consciousness was focused on one point.

…through the embrace, into a soft lump that naturally clings tightly to you.

“Era, you crazy bastard.”

Do you ever have thoughts like that?

Irusia picked up a pillow and tried to hit Seed with it, but all the strength left her body and she dropped the pillow from her hands.

“Ugh… .”

Covering her wide-eyed face with both hands, Irusia asked.

“… … Is it good?”

“Okay, uhm, big. No. No!!”

As before, if I answered yes out of ignorance, it seemed like things would get very serious.

“Hehe.”

In fact, Irusia’s chest was much swollen than before. It was so tight that her clothes were suffocating. It was because she had become one with the soul of her previous life.

Demon King Irushia from her previous life, whose entire body was made up of magic, was free to transform into magic, so she greatly increased her size in order to impress someone.

‘Haaak, haaah… I almost died.’

Seed was relieved that he had barely escaped a powerful life-threatening threat. He had goosebumps all over his body.

Irusia smiled. It was a good thing she didn’t say good. If she had, she would have died right away.

I raised him to be nice(?), but he gets angry when I openly show him that I like him. The devil’s mind is truly complicated.

And then the door to the sickroom opened.

The sight that caught the president’s eye as he opened the door.

A man and a woman are rolling around tightly together on a bed. Blood and other bodily fluids (such as Sid’s blood, pus, and melted flesh) soak the white sheets.

“… Sorry.”

With a short sound from the president’s mouth, the door closed.

“Hey, what are you saying!! Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“This crazy old man aaaa …

Knock, the door opened again.

“Wait, why am I sorry? No, no matter what, it’s a bit… right? Isn’t it? Are all young people like that these days?”

The president, who had imagined something truly terrible, felt that he had to say this no matter what.

“What are you thinking, you crazy guy.”

“The mystery of the birth of life.”

“Oh my. Are all men like this?”

As Irusia threw the pillow violently, the president raised his arm and swatted it away.

Irusia made a pained expression.

“Are you okay with that?”

Yes. The arm that threw the pillow. The arm that threw it instead of accepting it. The arm that had no choice but to do so.

The president waved his arm, which had no hand, around.

‘Ugh.’

It’s still awkward. I feel like vomiting.

However, Irusia did not immediately have another seizure. It seemed that the hug had a better effect than expected. I felt my chest calming down.

“Well, it’s hard to recover right away, but it’ll get better in a few days.”

The president said so with a faint smile.

Because the wrist part was cut off beyond the hand where the regeneration is applied, it does not heal right away.

However, if you can recover to the edge of the miracle range, you can regenerate right away. It was less than a centimeter from the cut to the start of the range.

At the moment of attack, Irusia always grasped the flow of power of the miracle that was surrounding the General’s hand and cut it off at an exquisite location. After all, any connection is bound to be weak no matter what.

“I came here because I have something to offer you.”

“It’s no use trying to set the mood, you pervert grandpa.”

Irusia is very direct and sarcastic towards the head of the academy.

“… … Of course you passed the exam. But I want you to stay in the academy.”

“Hmm, maybe we’re lacking in talent?”

Antskaia, the Holy Empire of unity, ruled by the Pope and with the same power as the Emperor.

The reason the country managed to run without any restraining force was because there was a restraining force outside.

On the surface, he is considered a first-class contributor and a confidant of the emperor, but in reality, he is a large-scale duke who divides the imperial family and power between them while being a single family.

Sarsbury.

The tension between this family and the 9th class master wizard, ‘Magic Emperor’ Cartius Sarsberry, is high.

Some have said that ‘there are two emperors on the continent’.

The Academy is an educational institution directly under the Imperial Household. Operating an educational institution on a national level to produce talented individuals for one’s own side is a method that has been used many times throughout history to strengthen royal authority.

“Are you having a hard time lately?”

Seed said so sarcastically.

Because I came from the future, I don’t know every single detail of history, but I remember the general outline of it.

Inspector Hanta Belobog.

A man who used to be a third-rate wandering mercenary, but in his old age, all his enlightenment came together, he broke through the wall, and became the strongest swordsman in one breath.

As far as Seed could remember, his awakening was around this time.

For every goblin you kill, you get a silver coin.

For every orc you kill, you receive seven silver coins.

For every drake you caught, you received one gold coin.

So, since I cut down the sky, I should receive 5,000 gold coins!

Even after becoming a swordsman, strength meant that to him in the end. It was nothing more or less than a means of earning a living, and perhaps it was thanks to letting go of his obsession that he was able to attain enlightenment.

So, the Supreme Sword Master joined the Sarsberry family because they were known to offer a lot of money.

‘It’ll be a few years before they fully reveal themselves, but they’ve already been recruited. The royal family isn’t stupid, so they must have gotten the information.’

By the way, the suggestion to betray him by offering more money did not work.

It’s true that they’re moving towards giving more money, but once a contract is made, trust will be lost if it’s broken, so it’s not okay, right?

If he were a swordsman who could fight a country with just one sword, he would be able to easily overcome that level, but I wonder if I should say that he is secretly upright… .

“So, what kind of conditions can the Academy offer?”

“Protection. Until you become truly useful first-class talents.”

“Protection?”

At the expressions on their faces that said they couldn’t understand the meaning, the president spoke quietly.

“At Sarsbury, they’re watching you two. Unlike us, it’s not in a good way.”

“Ah… .”

The terrorist attack and death of Noctila Sarsberg.

The youngest daughter of the family died. Even though the information was controlled to some extent by the religious order and the royal family, if the world’s best family were determined to dig up the information, it would not be possible to hide it all.

Those who use magic are originally a bit gloomy. They are good at using cowardly tricks. For Sarsbury, who is not particularly righteous, it would not have been strange to immediately catch the two people involved and torture them.

That hasn’t happened yet, but if it does, we’ll at least be keeping an eye on it.

surveillance.

“… !”

If someone had been monitoring their every move.

Karni and her black dragon would have been shown as well, of course.

An evil dragon covered in black flames, clearly evil at first glance. If you discriminate based on color, there’s nothing to say, but it can’t be helped that it looks like an evil being.

I’ll do something about it, either by removing it or using it.

Irusia uses magic to send a message to Cid without the president hearing.

The two immediately ran out of the sickroom.

***

Noctila Sarsberry felt a pleasant breeze. It carried a sweet scent and tickled her hair.

I got up from my uncomfortable position. It felt like a knife was stuck in my chest, and at the same time, it felt stuffy and painful, but I couldn’t help but feel refreshed.

A fairytale-like world made entirely of sweets, candies, and chocolate. At the same time, a world filled with the pungent smell of blood and rotting corpses was right before my eyes.

Park Myung. Merchen. A beautiful self-binding ring.

It was the Demon World.
