“Before that, of course.”

I spoke to each person individually.

In order for these two people to become friends, there was something they each had to do.

“Fran, you should not force missionary work on someone who doesn’t like it.”

“… … .”

“Shine. Don’t be prejudiced against him because he is a member of a cult, and avoid talking negatively about the cult.”

“… … .”

The fact that Shine consulted with me means that he is seriously thinking about Franc.

If you can get rid of all your worries this time, there’s no reason to decline, right?

“how is it?”

Fran doesn’t want to go to the academy alone forever.

Shine was also concerned about ignoring Fran, the treatment community.

I don’t think there is any reason to turn a blind eye to the interests of both parties.

And I think what I can do for them is to provide an opportunity for the two to connect.

“…I like it.”

Shine finally finished organizing his thoughts and nodded.

If the issue that bothered you has been resolved, is there no reason to hesitate anymore?

I was satisfied with Shine’s refreshing attitude.

Meanwhile, Fran, who was watching Shine’s thoughts, became angry when he first answered yes from the other side.

Even if he didn’t have the courage to say he would do so first, he was the type of person who didn’t hesitate to take the first hand.

“I like it too.”

After both of them answered, they seemed to suddenly become embarrassed.

It’s not like I arranged a blind date, but I can’t make eye contact properly.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Breathtaking silence.

I felt like if I left the two alone like this, the answer I had the courage to give would become meaningless.

Of course, it will get better over time.

“Do you have anything to say to each other?”

As soon as I started talking, Shine, who was the more lively of the two, opened his mouth.

“Sorry.”

The first thing I said was an apology.

“yes??”

Fran didn’t seem to understand why he was apologizing.

“Actually, after hearing that you were a cult, I couldn’t approach you easily. “I shouldn’t have done that, but I was swayed by the rumors.”

“…are you okay. Because I’m used to it. “I will try to avoid any inconvenience in the future.”

The only reason Shine is uncomfortable with Franc is because of his ‘pseudo’.

Shine’s face widened when he said he would take care of it himself.

It was very disrespectful for them to keep hesitating even though they said they would try this hard.

“Well, you’re nicer than I thought. If it were me, I would have said no because my pride was hurt.”

“No. It was my fault. I acted like I did even though I knew many people didn’t like it. I shouldn’t have done that. I think I should apologize. I’m sorry.”

If Fran didn’t know about the cult leader’s crimes, he wouldn’t have listened to me.

They believed that the denomination was right, and their biggest goal was to make people aware of the denomination.

‘Because it was in that state, even though it was a treatment field, human relationships were in that state.’

But the franc is different now.

Didn’t you agree with Shine’s words that forcing something that others don’t like is a bad thing?

‘It’s definitely changed. It looks like things with the cult leader ended well.’

Franc now knows that even denominations can be wrong.

Franc now has to lead the church as the leader of the church, not as an ordinary member of the church.

As she is a saint who will influence countless people, it was important for her to grow up properly.

Currently, it is treated as a pseudo-sect, but the situation will change when Fran begins to be active on the battlefield.

‘No one will be able to ridicule us for calling it a cult.’

By that time, the denomination will have been transformed into an order to worship the saint.

It will become an order of saints, by saints, and for saints.

‘By then, you will be able to get a good price for the sacred item.’

Because he knew the future, he did not hesitate to introduce Franc to Shine.

I hoped that the two people I had actively invested in would meet and create greater synergy.

Perhaps the kids who bullied Franc will regret this day later.

He could have won the saint’s favor in advance, but he kicked it away.

They were two people who enjoyed the bright and pure joy of making a friend without yet imagining what impact today’s events would have.

“But I really, really have a question. Can I ask you something?”

“What are you curious about?”

“How do you know me?”

“ah… ! Now that I think about it, I was curious too. How does Mr. Shine know you? That’s because the two of you seemed very close.”

“cadet! What are you doing? “We’re so close!”

Shine brightly boasts of his friendship with me.

“Am I close to you? Since when.”

“Oh, really! Even though this guy seems very blunt, he is secretly very playful. So, you have to filter it out and listen to it.”

“Yes, of course. “I know it well.”

“uh? “Do you know?”

At that moment, a strange current arose between Shine and Fran.

“yes. “Of course, I’m actually planning to become your wife.”

“Hey!”

What on earth is he talking about?

And I said clearly.

Everything he said about making her his wife was a joke.

“Huh?! what?? wife??”

The expressions of Shine, who was astonished, and Fran, who smiled shyly as if she were embarrassed, looked particularly contrasting.

“yes. My wife. Of course, you will have to wait a long time for me before that.”

“mister… I’m so disappointed. Was he that kind of person?! transformation!!”

“no!! And why do you so obediently believe something that doesn’t make sense!”

“I guess that’s something a sinister man would say.”

“No! Hey, I said that was a joke, right? “I said it would be enough to treat you later when you get older and get sick.”

“You have given me a favor that I cannot repay, so how can I wipe my mouth with something like that?”

It’s not enough, it’s too much.

Isn’t this treatment given by a saint?

It was a miraculous power that made those who could not walk walk and those who could not see see.

“But since you say it’s difficult, I’ll keep it a secret for the time being. “If possible, I would like Mr. Shine to be the authenticator between us.”

“Me, me? Authenticator? “I don’t know what it is, but it seems very important.”

“It certifies that the two of us have made a promise to the future.”

“uh… “Then are you really planning to marry him?”

“Sure. From now on, there will be no other man in my life than you.”

“Wow, that’s a huge decision.”

Why is it that a child with a bright future is so impatient that he can’t hang on to me?

Of course, I know very well that it will take 10 years for that child to come back to me, so there is a higher chance that it will not be protected.

‘Because Fran won’t still be a student at the academy 10 years later.’

The difference in status that has risen during that time will stand in our way.

I know that, so I know there’s no need to take those words seriously and get upset, but… .

‘He’s a kid who shouldn’t think with common sense.’

Isn’t this a promise that is light years away?

He is a guy who clearly won’t give up on something once he decides to do it.

‘I feel like I shouldn’t just stay like this.’

A sense of crisis comes.

If this continues, I might have to wait for him to come back and work alone for 10 years.

‘Of course it would be a waste to give her away… .’

In 10 years, she will become a more mature and beautiful woman than she is now.

It would be no different from a sin to drive out such a woman with my own hands.

In the first place, Fran would be the one who would never end up with another man if not me.

But aren’t you saying that you’re going to marry me because you want to repay a favor, not because you love me?

In the end, the probability that those words would come true was very low, and the probability that it would turn out like this was very high.

So there was only one solution I could do now.

“Stop talking nonsense and both of you get out. “I can’t do business because of you guys.”

The idea is to kick them out so they can no longer talk like this.

“oh! Get out? “After all, there are no guests other than us!”

When I tried to kick the two people out, Shine protested, saying that I was kicking them out even though there were no customers there.

“If you are dissatisfied, you should own this place. get out!”

He forcibly dragged the two people out and harshly slammed the door to the general store.

Just two people left, and silence came to the general store.

“Phew, this is my general store, after all.”

Silence is golden. gold!

My ears, which had been crackling in contentment, found peace.

I crossed my arms and closed my eyes.

The languor of a leisurely afternoon.

This was a happy break that I cherished the most and that I could not miss.

[I will report to you. The anonymous sponsor expressed that he did not want to reveal his identity until the end, and fortunately, his request was accepted. However, I was told that if I change my mind at any time, I can give him a medal and to contact him.]

It is said that the things I had planned in advance because I knew the future had a greater impact on the battlefield than expected, and because of that, the government asked me if I would like to receive a medal.

But I already had no intention of receiving anything in return for it.

Although the medal was a waste, I would be the one in trouble if my identity was revealed.

How was it possible for a mere commoner to have such a large supply of consumables?

How did you know that a monster wave would explode that day and prepare in advance?

The country will have many things to ask me.

The problem is that I have no words to answer their questions.

‘What should I answer? Are you saying that you knew the future and prepared for it?’

Additionally, it is impossible to properly explain the source of the item.

With the amount I have, it could lead to strange misunderstandings.

‘And what if the person who has it is not a nobleman but a commoner?’

It was suspicious to anyone who saw it, and it was something that made you feel uncomfortable and make you want to investigate what the heck that bastard was doing.

I hid under anonymity to avoid that situation.

And after this contact, I plan to cut off all contact with these people.

Shouldn’t we keep in touch a few more times and not end up getting caught by the government?

Although it was a hassle, it was something that required careful attention.

“The start of the main scenario has changed, but how much will the next content change?”

The monster wave has not yet been resolved.

In the original story, students must be conscripted and struggle to block the monster wave.

However, here, they succeeded in preventing the movement of the monster wave before it trampled the city.

Also, the damage was not so great that academy students had to be conscripted.

‘As time passes, students will inevitably be conscripted.’

In the original scenario, the monster wave was no different from a natural disaster that left enormous scars on humanity.

It would be impossible to stop it with existing military forces.

Exceptional talents were needed, and such talents happened to be enrolled at the academy.

‘So now what I have to do is… .’

Since we had a grace period, the plan was to extract as many SSRs as possible in the meantime and raise them as we have done so far.

So that they can go to the battlefield and be active.
