Chapter Index

    Next to him is Bea, who has become a yandere, and in front is his devastated mother, a breathtaking confrontation.

    A drop of cold sweat rolls down from my forehead and down my cheek.

    The first person to speak was none other than my mother.

    “Why.. did it only happen now..”

    “… I don’t know either..”

    “Didn’t you say it was the power of immortality?”

    “… Yes.”

    “But why… did it only happen now? Why…”

    “… I’m sorry.”

    My mother slowly approached me and knelt down, holding my hand.

    “9 years have passed. When the first day passed, I thought I would wake up quickly. After a week, I was on the verge of death, so I thought it would just be a little while before I woke up. And when a month had passed, the saint was summoned to check. They said it was not life-threatening, but I couldn’t believe it. A year passed and I searched for a way to wake you up. But no matter what method I tried, it didn’t happen.”

    As my mother calmly spoke about what had happened with her head down, the calmness gradually disappeared and moisture filled me.

    “5 years have passed like that. I was tormented by guilt, wondering why I let you two go first. Why couldn’t I protect you? Wouldn’t it have been better if your father had been there instead of me? I thought that even if I just let him stay next to me, instead of lying like this… he would come running with a bright smile like he always does…”

    “…”

    “And it only happened 9 years later…”

    “… I’m sorry…”

    “Thank goodness.. really..”

    My mother, who had been keeping her head down, looked up at me and smiled.

    “Really.. I’m glad..”

    “…”

    Looking at it, I couldn’t say anything.

    Something began to well up in my chest.

    That day, I cried for the first time since I was born in this world.

    Those tears I shed for the first time melted something.

    I don’t know what that is yet.

    ***

    After some time, I went to the office.

    -smart.

    “Father, let me go in.”

    “.. Okay.. come in.”

    My mother said she was going to talk to my father as she left my room, so you probably already know.

    -Kkeee..

    “.. It’s been a while, father..”

    “Okay, you ugly son.. You were upset because you were born dumb, but now you are upset that you won’t be able to wake up for 9 years.”

    “… I’m sorry..”

    The eyes of my father, whom I met after a long time, were slightly red.

    Gray hair began to appear and the overall color turned slightly white.

    He had many wrinkles and had changed in many ways, but the clothes he was wearing were the same black uniform as in the past.

    “Come and see. There is a lot to do.”

    “..? What do you mean?”

    “Because in three months you have to go to the academy.”

    “… Yes?”

    ‘That aside… what does this mean…’

    I had heard about it a long time ago.

    When he first met Bea and saw that she didn’t want to leave, he said that he would be able to enter the academy at the age of 15, so they could be together then.

    For sure..

    “Agrippina Academy… Is that right?”

    “Yes. I have to enroll there.”

    “But for me… the gap period is too long.”

    The 9-year gap was too big.

    Because I was a child, but now I have grown up to the point where I can be called a boy.

    ‘It looks like my body hasn’t grown much, but…’

    I was shocked to see that he was slightly shorter than Bea.

    This is why you need to exercise hard during your growing years.

    “So we should start right away.”

    “What.. No way..”

    “Okay.”

    -Cow.

    My father put something down from the floor onto the desk.

    They were all books, piled up to a height of approximately 50 cm.

    “Should I study, son?”

    “…”

    Books you need to study before entering the academy.

    ‘Oh my god..’

    From that day on, I began to be forcibly indoctrinated with knowledge.

    ‘But why…is it worth doing more than I thought..?’

    ***

    I was only able to leave the office I came into after eating breakfast in the evening when the sun had completely set.

    However, I was able to absorb the knowledge faster than expected, and as a result, I was able to finish what would have taken several days in one day.

    Then, the more my father found it fascinating, the more he added new books, which strangely made him feel better.

    ‘Was I… a study bug?’

    Studying was so fun that I thought,

    ‘Why?’

    If you were to judge whether it’s good or bad, it’s definitely good.

    Because you can make boring studies fun and it’s good to have a lot of knowledge.

    ‘Why on earth.. ah..’

    Then, I came to my senses and remembered something I hadn’t tried before.

    I quickly ran to my room, laid down on the bed, and opened the status window for the first time in a while.

    ‘Status window.’

    [Tiring. Open the status window.]

    However, the status window that appeared was easily beyond my imagination.

    “Cluck cluck!.. Huh..?”

    After lying down for 9 years, my physical abilities had increased to quite high levels, and my natural talent had increased to an unusual degree.

    There were other things listed as well, but two things caught my eye.

    The Heavenly talent I mentioned earlier and the talent below it, the martial arts skill.

    As if I was fascinated by the chant, I pressed it with my finger and a detailed explanation of the chant was revealed.

    [Mu Yeong-chang]

    You can cast the spell as an action instead of chanting.

    Currently specified action:-

    ‘Yes… honestly, chanting is cool, but it’s too slow… I needed something like this…’

    The action to be specified has already been determined.

    -Just right!

    [Tiring. Add finger flick to the magic activation command. If you imagine the magic and snap your fingers, the magic will be activated. step. Only magic that has already been learned is possible. Please learn any magic you have not mastered by chanting. If the proficiency is low, mana efficiency is lower than magic using existing chants.]

    After reading that article, I thought of an ice sphere and snapped my fingers.

    -Just right!

    -Jing!

    An ice sphere just like before, created before your eyes.

    When I opened the status window again and checked, it had risen by 5%.

    -Just right! Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!

    ….

    “Ugh.. the head..”

    As a result of using ice magic until all mana was consumed, the proficiency in chanting without chanting increased twice and reached 46%.

    Once the mastery level increased, it consumed a similar amount of mana as before, but I think it was because it was a low-level magic.

    “Ah. I should try double chanting too..”

    Before… that is, the double chant that was attempted 9 years ago was attempted until the incident occurred, but was not even a single success.

    But now that there is no chant.

    Wouldn’t it be possible? Of course, that thought would come to mind.

    “But there is no chant.. Can I say it is a double chant..”

    “Double chanting?”

    “Ugh! I’m surprised.. Bea..”

    When I suddenly heard the words, I turned around and saw that she was lying next to me, wearing pink pajamas with a plain design that was different from when she was young.

    “Now you come in without saying a word..”

    “That’s right.. It’s been like this for 9 years.. You don’t even remember Vera?”

    “…”

    If I bring up the 9 years of fainting, I can’t even say anything.

    I also want to know why it was like that, but I have no way of knowing.

    More than that…

    “Are you okay?”

    “Huh? What?”

    “There is a saying that men and women are equal for all ages..”

    “… Okay.. I’ll sleep below..”

    “No, you in bed..”

    “How do you make a man sleep on the floor? I’ll go down and sleep.”

    Men are protected by women.

    So Bea is going to go down to the floor instead of me.

    Moreover, this is my room.

    Anyway, something is strange.

    ‘Why did I try to go down..’

    I feel like my memories have been cut out.

    What on earth happened?

    It is natural for men to be protected by women.

    why me..

    “Vera.. are you okay?”

    “Uh.. huh?”

    When I came to my senses due to Bea’s call, I was covered in cold sweat.

    “Why are you crying..”

    “Huh..?”

    Tears were flowing from my eyes.

    “Why.. the tears keep coming..”

    “Vera.. don’t cry..”

    Bea, who was about to get under the bed, turned completely and patted me.

    “When you cry.. it makes me want to cry too..”

    “No.. I don’t know why I’m like this..”

    What on earth?

    What happened?

    In the end, the tears that continued to flow that day stopped when I fell asleep from exhaustion.

    I didn’t know why until I fell asleep.

    ***

    When I came to my senses, I found myself in a white room that I had not seen in a long time.

    And I saw a goddess who was still there.

    “.. Eros..”

    “It’s been a while, Berador.”

    This was my third time meeting her, but hearing her name called was quite awkward.

    “What’s going on this time?”

    “… To let you know what happened to you.”

    It turned out well because I was curious.

    “The reason you couldn’t wake up for a long time…”
