Ch.163Epilogue

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t expect it.

Not possessing someone in the past, just the present flow changing.

Those who died all coming back to life, a happy ending.

‘Starting over from the beginning.’

Perhaps this is a punishment.

Even so—I’m just not doing anything.

“Are you listening?”

Ruide rubbed his sleepy eyes.

“Yeah.”

“I tell you, that impudent feather thief…!”

Villainess Hersy.

This time, she was in the same position as in the original story.

But it might be better than the original.

Somehow, I got entangled with Hersy again.

Nodding off, Ruide’s head performed acrobatics.

Hersy, who had been talking excitedly, sighed and smiled lightly.

“Young master shouldn’t sleep in a place like this. You must maintain your dignity.”

Eventually, Ruide fell completely asleep.

Hersy stayed there for a while before leaving for her next class.

“Do you not understand the concept of keeping appointments?”

Damon appeared at Dellin’s Lake with his hands in his pockets.

For reference, he looked extremely angry.

He kicked the sleeping Ruide.

Roll, roll.

Ruide squirmed like a caterpillar.

“Ouch.”

“Why did you break our chess appointment? I cannot understand.”

The first meeting with Damon in this world was a bit different.

Wanting to become friends, Ruide had challenged Damon to a chess match.

Naturally, being the genius of the century, he won. And they’ve been like this ever since.

‘Well, I guess this works.’

Ruide smiled faintly and said,

“Despite appearances, I’m pretty good at keeping important promises.”

“Ame. Are you taking good care of Ruide?”

“Yes, yes… sister.”

At the Windsor villa.

Irene, who had stopped by on business, was having a conversation.

Amelia couldn’t lift her head, like a child being scolded.

Irene looked at Amelia with a strange smile, then spoke as if something had occurred to her.

“Rui. About that swordsmanship tournament I mentioned before.”

“Yeah.”

“I’ve decided to oversee it personally. I got permission from both the head of the family and His Majesty.”

Irene looked unusually happy.

Ruide stared at her blankly for a moment, then asked quietly.

“You like fighting, after all.”

“I’m happy. It was a proposal you made for me.”

“I-I’ll participate too!”

Amelia suddenly stood up and declared her ambition.

“And I’ll definitely win!”

“You don’t have to push yourself.”

“N-no! Someday I… I’ve always wanted to become an excellent knight like you, sister!”

Ruide was picking at his food, barely eating, when he casually asked Irene.

“Irene.”

“Yes?”

“Are you no longer bored?”

Irene looked at Ruide for a moment without speaking.

Resting her chin on her hand, she smiled enigmatically.

“Thanks to you.”

**

Peaceful days continued afterward.

The story was flowing steadily according to the original.

Irene was no longer bored.

What was slightly concerning was that she seemed to have “memories of the future.”

‘It must be my imagination.’

Irene was always a mysterious person anyway.

Ruide sighed and lay down on the natural grass bed.

His face flushed slightly as he let out a contented sigh.

“After all, Dellin’s Lake is the best place for sleeping.”

It’s incomparable to anywhere else.

I wish these happy days would continue like this forever.

No, I’ll definitely make it happen.

Thump, thump.

There was someone disturbing Ruide’s peaceful nap.

“Ruide!”

It was Justin.

‘The dimwit protagonist.’

Ruide looked at him through narrowed eyes.

Even seeing him again, he still looked stupid, which didn’t make Ruide feel particularly good.

“I-I have a favor to ask.”

Justin was always a mess.

What has he been doing—

No, actually, I know.

Anyway, today he looked even worse than usual.

His clothes were beyond rags, more like mops, and if he made any sudden movements, it seemed like even his underwear might show.

He abruptly knelt down.

“The Academy is in danger right now. Someone calling himself Rak has possessed ‘Nia’s’ body and is causing chaos. If this continues, many people will die…! Please, Ruide! I know you find me annoying, but…”

“Fine.”

Ruide slowly got up.

He casually dusted off his grass-covered bottom and stretched his short arms.

With tears slightly welling in his eyes, he said:

“Lead the way.”

It seems the time has come to pick up Miho.

If she suddenly turns me into a woman again this time, I’ll annihilate her.

Really.
