The Royal Academy is royal.

That means it is a place where the country is investing.

There is a window inside the school building where you can send letters. However, it is not in the dormitory, but in the building where classes are held, so you have to go all the way there.

At first I thought it was strange, but then I remembered that schools are supposed to send news about their children to many parents.

There is bound to be a lot of mail in the first place. It would be strange if there wasn’t a post office inside the school building.

So Victoria and I headed to the main building where the post office was.

The first floor there.

If you go to the left, you will see the classroom where you usually study, and if you go to the right, you will see the administrative office.

When you go inside, there’s a post office. There’s a dedicated window that serves exactly the same purpose.

This is information that Victoria doesn’t know. And it’s information that’s hard to find out, but fortunately, Kanna knows this.

So I came to the front of the administrative office, but I hit Victoria’s back as she hesitated and didn’t go in.

Why are you so nervous about this? Where did Victoria, who used to slaughter people, go?

I took her hand and led her inside, and we headed straight to the place where we could send the letter.

Then call Victoria and write down your home address.

As I looked at the address, I realized her mistake and grabbed her hand. After advising her that she had forgotten that her parents had moved, I wrote down the address that was on the envelope she had received.

And then I handed the letter to the clerk whose eyes looked dark as if he hadn’t been able to sleep for several days, and left the place.

“I hope you received the letter properly?”

“If nothing happens, it will be like that.”

I used to see you often during harvest time. Considering the location, I live in a district quite far from the city center of Bern.

Most of the harvesters in Bern City are currently occupying the center of Bern City. Only a very small number have left Bern City and moved to other nearby cities.

Maybe the Bet family also left Bern City and went outside altogether.

I can’t say for sure since Maurice and Beatrice aren’t harvesters, but at least I haven’t seen them among the protesters in the city center.

Through the harvest season, I have memorized the faces of all the people who are resisting within it.

So, if possible, Victoria’s family will be able to receive the letter.

It hinted to the King that something special was happening in Bern City, and also created an incident that would lead Victoria to contact her parents.

I’ve done everything I could. Now, I’ll just sit back and sort out the situation that’s going on.

Currently, warmth is coming in sporadically.

There are three main groups of harvesters who send out warmth.

One is the harvester in Bern City.

Most of them belong to the Purple Twilight Society and are trying to start something like the Yellow Turban Rebellion. I’m looking forward to it because it’s certain that there will be a lot of casualties.

Another one is the harvester of the Brightshin slums.

There are more dead people here than I thought.

Where will the poor, with their increased strength and stamina, find work?

The answer is to use force.

They do basic work like delivering things, lifting and lowering heavy objects, and most of that work is done outside the building, not inside.

And outside, black thorn trees spread out fiercely.

If you were inside the building, you would have been struck by the thorns that dug in slowly and fallen, but most of the people outside the building were hit by the black thorn trees that were hurtling down the road.

People who died instantly in the middle of the road died happily. Most of them fell asleep in agony, bleeding profusely from parts of their bodies being torn off by thorns.

And then slowly he died.

Even if you can stop the bleeding, you can’t stop the bleeding if you lose consciousness. In addition, if you think about the senses that you can perceive even when you’re asleep, there were thorn trees that dug into people who had fallen to the ground.

Even if he didn’t sustain life-threatening injuries before falling asleep, he may have been stabbed to death afterwards.

By the way, Maleficent didn’t care about anyone dying like that. She just planned to put a curse on them all and humiliate them by holding them hostage in front of the royal family.

After getting hit by the harvester dozens of times and crying and apologizing, I was thinking of turning into a dragon and spitting fire to burn down the capital.

The harvester who fought with her… … .

There aren’t many people with superpowers in the capital, so even if they all die, it wouldn’t be that bad of a loss, so this is a good thing.

But overall, it’s a bit disappointing that so many harvesters died.

It’s not all that bad though.

This is a good time for the surviving Harvesters in the capital, as they are still just emerging from the hardships and will need a lot of manpower to repair the damaged cities.

So when life blooms, the descendants of the harvest season will increase.

Hehehe.

Finally, the harvester from another world.

Here, each person moves to overcome their own reality with their newly acquired strength.

Particularly, uncivilized civilizations do not produce much warmth, and developed civilizations do not produce little warmth.

It just gives warmth depending on how the person acts.

The production of warmth is creaking, but it is still providing warmth little by little like the dividend of safe stocks.

This is going well, at least from my perspective. I don’t think you can get much out of it on the first try.

I can be patient.

What I’m worried about now is something else.

When given the knowledge of Daegon and Wonshicheonjon, which one would develop the world better?

Not everyone who is given knowledge gains it, and no one who gains it uses it right away.

Therefore, we need a lot of subjects to test by giving them knowledge.

Like a priest in a classic game, I think you’ll have to keep going to where the injured are and making harvesters.

There are still many people left who can make it into a harvester.

“Wow, this world is really scary,”

Maybe it’s because I don’t usually talk much, but when we were almost done walking towards the main gate, Victoria started mumbling and started talking.

Is that so? Maybe so.

“Let’s go outside and get some fresh air.”

“Yes, do that.”

I nodded to Victoria. She herself is not averse to being alone or sitting still in one place.

But I think she’s frustrated with the situation she’s going through right now.

Is it normal to worry about what might have happened to your parents?

Since most of the memories are not true, I guess it’s not surprising. Then let’s say Victoria grew up receiving proper love.

Victoria, who is like that, tries to go out to relieve her anxiety related to her newly-born parents.

As soon as I said I would go with her, Victoria smiled brightly and jumped next to me. Then she dragged me out the front door.

But Victoria stopped thinking about having fun soon after she left.

Because the mark left by the witch’s scratches still remains.

Deep gashes remain on roads and buildings, and in some places, bloodstains remain that have not yet been erased.

The city had a gloomy rather than bright atmosphere, and the people wandering the streets and the abandoned debris showed that what had happened not long ago was still real.

“I want to go back.”

Victoria finally said that and turned around to walk away depressed.

Victoria, who had just returned to the dormitory, kicked me out, saying she was tired and wanted to rest.

I know you’re feeling depressed and alone in your room, but those days happen too.

I left her behind and went back to my accommodation.

***

The next day.

It’s still mid-week, but the Royal Academy is closed this week.

So, to make the most of my free time, I left my accommodation early in the morning, not to start a new harvest like I usually do.

The location you’re going to isn’t near Bright City. Bright City itself is a place that has become slum-like as the city has become old and run-down, so it’s almost in the center of the capital.

But this time, the place I’m heading to is outside the capital.

I wish I had a way to get there faster, but all I had was my body, so I ran hard.

Fortunately, I still had memories of running in the first world, so running wasn’t difficult. Rather, since I didn’t have big chests like back then, it was much easier to keep my balance and run.

Still, it’s a bit faster than an adult walking briskly. Being short is an unavoidable problem.

So after running for a while, the sun was high in the sky.

I arrived at the border of the capital.

Surprisingly, there are no walls. No, the traces of walls have already been there for a long time. Here, too, as the city grew, the area where people live has long since expanded beyond what the walls can cover, so there are no walls to control access.

So, there are countless people coming and going, but there are also a lot of police officers walking around.

Most of the capital cities in the world I’ve been in so far have been surrounded by walls.

As I continued walking, I realized that this capital city was quite an old city compared to other places in the world.

And I arrived at a place where the buildings disappeared and nature came closer. It was the boundary between the city and nature.

Here, half-dried earth is scattered everywhere, as if an underground gas pipe had burst. This is the trace of a thorn tree sticking out.

I crossed the pit and got out on the other side.

Beyond here, it’s wilderness. But it’s not uninhabited. I thought it would be annoying if people came, so I moved a little away from the path where people come and go, and then continued west.

You can see the mountains in the distance. And beyond that, the sea spreads out. The country is shaped like a crescent moon with an empty left side. Geographically, the capital is at the top point, and Bern City is at the bottom point.

Of course, it’s not completely symmetrical, and the side where the capital is has more plains.

Anyway, that’s not the important thing. To the west, there’s a mountain range that blocks the sea breeze from coming from west to east.

There are many scary monsters living there, but that’s why there are many local leaders. When the monsters bounce around like pinballs, they don’t move and hunt the monsters that come in.

So, it was more beneficial to leave it alone rather than punish it, so Kanna remembered.

And in that place, Maleficent lived.

yes.

that’s right.

In short, I’m going to get everything from the person I hunted.

This world is not like the first world where I cannot have possessions because of my position, nor is it like the second world where I have nothing to own because the times are bad.

Shouldn’t you take what you can?

As soon as we reached the foot of the mountain, nature became more intense. There were many more moving lights here and there, and sharper gazes were visible.

But that’s okay.

It’s not often that you can use the ability to crush reality and turn living things into objects, but it’s not impossible.

You just have to be careful not to break the world. If you catch one big one, it will bow its head on its own.

Anyway, I don’t plan things out that detailed. I’m not smart enough to do that in the first place. I just think, “This will work out fine.” That’s about it.

To avoid any contradictions, I’m just trying to live my life the way I want while diligently sticking to the concept I’ve set for myself.

The fact that my body is no longer a living person is also a reason why I have no hesitation. There is no need to feel sorry, right?

With those thoughts in mind, I walked up the mountain range where the witch’s house was.
