After all, a week passed without any incident.

There’s no particular movement despite having thrown the witch’s treasure. Of course, it’s a cruel and merciless weapon called treasure.

I believe that people will use it well.

Maybe they sent a few people ahead of time to get all the witch’s treasure, but at least as far as I know, we’d have to go back to that place to find out.

Valuables inside the castle?

It’s just a metal object. If the world could be shattered, why would you need it when you can make a lump of gold the size of the sun?

I don’t really have any material desires.

If the body were just a simple game avatar, it would be fun to decorate it.

But this is not that kind of place.

It’s like creating some kind of curse, a place where you’ve been starving for days, your head is sticking out, your body is buried in the ground, and food is placed so far away that you can’t reach it.

And even if you can’t reach it, you know that the moment you put your tongue in the food, your throat will be cut off.

So, bear with it.

If there is a reason, I can endure it.

If you grit your teeth and endure it, you will actually feel a faint warmth coming in steadily.

My patience was rewarded.

I hold on desperately, using that as a pillar. But it’s okay to smell it, right? It’s okay to look at it, right?

So, be a little more proactive.

Make a harvester.

In that state, if you undergo a psychiatric evaluation, anyone would say you are crazy.

Therefore, material things are not important.

All I can hope for is that it will give me warmth in the future.

There is that kind of feeling, and honestly, once you are in a state where you can control reality, you really lose interest in such material things. There is a minor flaw in that reality can be ruined by that shock.

Rather, knowledge is more valuable.

Maybe there is an element of knowledge gathering that makes me a harvester.

The more memories you have, the more they shine.

Rather than feeling conscious, as if memory is alive and saying, “Is this it?”, it’s closer to the feeling of a search engine running at any given moment underlining the words you searched for and saying, “Is this what you’re looking for?”

However, in certain situations, there is a strange feeling of uniformity, and I think that is probably because we share the same experience.

Or, like Maleficent, it may be a fresh memory that was acquired not long ago, so it is immediately referenced as soon as you search for it.

anyway.

He has a good memory and excellent retrieval skills.

Then do you know what happens?

“I will take the test paper.”

“Geuaaa~”

You can still pass the test without studying.

The day after the week-long break, I took a test as soon as class started. It wasn’t even a note test, it was a midterm.

The light disappeared from the eyes of the students who returned to the classroom after a long time because the teacher had made a vicious declaration in the morning.

This morning, all I could hear was the sound of squares embracing grief and despair.

For reference, I solved the problem simply.

Unless there are problems or applications that are not explained, simple memorization is not a problem.

However, since it is the Royal Academy, the ratio of simple questions is half. If you get all the difficult questions wrong, you are in trouble.

I wrote as much as I could, so I’m sure it’ll be at least average.

By the way, no one notices that Merryweather is gone until the test is over.

In the first place, there is an atmosphere where it is not even known whether such a person existed. He even disappeared from the attendance list.

That also means that Maleficent was a powerful sorceress.

According to Maleficent’s memories, manipulating perception can make documents appear where they never existed before. Strangely, it wasn’t a magic that was like a science, but a magic that could really change the world.

So it seems like no one knew.

Even if there is something I should have received, I don’t know for sure, but I think I received it, so I just move on.

It’s said to be difficult to break simply, unless a fatal contradiction such as finding a piece of Merryweather’s body occurs.

This witch.

She was a witch so strong that people would get tired of dealing with her.

If I were a human.

If you’re up against a Daegon, it’s a pretty melee fight, no. Yeah. They say there’s a technique for dealing with such beings.

There is nothing easier to catch than a strong individual who has never fought a similar opponent and is unaware of his own weaknesses.

Well, it’s not that strange that when you go down one level from top predator to top predator, you get slaughtered in an instant.

Even if you think that it’s just something that happens on your head, there are many creatures that went extinct after being unable to do anything when a natural enemy came to an island that had no natural enemies for hundreds of generations.

Basically, if there is no survival instinct imprinted on you, it disappears in vain.

Even Maleficent, who seemed to have outstanding intelligence, seems to be like that.

Even the Primordial Heavenly Lord has several memories of subduing such evil entities.

If you cross-check, it seems that those who are born strong and have no experience of failure are generally gifted.

It’s a gift that means providing materials.

It’s a scary world full of murderous intent.

anyway.

After the exam, I tried to go to Victoria, who was sitting there in a daze, but someone blocked me.

Frisian Tabakian Shekal.

She stood before me, her triangular ears perking up above her head.

“Bell. Theodore is calling.”

It’s stiff, but it’s a much softer attitude than before.

Oh, by the way, when Kanna returned to the capital over the weekend, she asked Freesia to bring me. I forgot because it was the next day.

“Yes.”

I waved to Victoria, who had to go to the Clockwork Knight School when evening came, and followed Freesia.

From the main gate, go left of the central hall. Go straight west, turn 90 degrees to the left, and go straight. Then, go into the innermost room among the many rooms that appear.

“Are you here?”

Huh? Kanna Temelin Theodore?

I thought it hadn’t changed, but it’s different when I hear it with my own ears. Your voice is more than 30% brighter than when we last met.

That’s why they tried to beat up the Theodore family, but they desperately held on to them.

Or maybe it’s just the fact that I can move my body and do something that’s good. Or maybe it’s both, but the resigned atmosphere that had been stuck to my body has completely disappeared, leaving only a refreshing pretty girl.

Huh~?

Hmm. If you keep watching someone from that person’s perspective, it might be harder to read that person well than you think.

Watching from Kanna’s perspective, I don’t think Kanna has changed that much. But when you compare them directly like this, the difference is clear.

Is it because people don’t see their weight gain in numbers, and it’s hard to feel it? Is it because all five senses are synchronized, so it’s just hard to feel the slow changes?

I never thought I’d find out a flaw like this.

Watching through that person’s eyes wasn’t a perfect technique.

That’s that, first of all, greetings.

“Hello.”

“You really haven’t changed. Come and sit down.”

Freesia quietly bows her head and goes out. Kanna looks at her with a pitiful expression. But as soon as the door closes, she turns around and walks to a nearby cart loaded with food and a kettle.

And in the place where my eyes meet, tea is poured into an empty cup.

Referring to Kanna’s memories, this is what nobles used to do when they met.

Reason? Poisoning.

In addition to that, there is also a dark etiquette hidden there, such as, “I’m giving you this, can you recognize it?”

If you don’t return it with a reply like “It’s good to use this material”, there are follow-up procedures such as being treated as an ignorant person, but I just ignore them.

Kanna doesn’t care about that either.

There, manners are already engraved in the soul, so that behavior is natural, and rather, the slight disgust that arose when we first met was self-loathing.

If I remember correctly, it wasn’t directed at me.

Reading emotions isn’t perfect either.

The reason I don’t feel discouraged when I discover that the tool I was using is because up until now I’ve only been making passive, safe choices.

Yeah. If you were to go wild and say that it’s easy to control people’s minds because you can know their emotions with this, then you must have made a fatal mistake somewhere.

In fact, he completely ignores the manners that an ordinary nobleman would have to follow and drinks the drink she gives him without feeling offended.

“Isn’t it delicious? I drink it often near my house, but it’s hard to find here, so I brought a lot.”

By the way, near the house that Kanna is talking about, they mix this with strong alcohol and drink it.

And the one who was drinking it was Kanna. When he was drinking it alone in his room, he would drink it in the hometown style. This guy.

By the way, in this world, neither alcohol nor cigarettes are prohibited for minors.

Rather, if taken in proper dosage, it is considered a healthy medicine.

“Are you doing what you want to do properly?”

I hesitated for a moment and then asked.

At my words, Kanna blinked a few times and then smiled brightly.

“Yeah. I’m doing whatever I want.”

“It was worth giving me.”

If it were my wish, I would like the privileged class to be a little more dirty and full of materialism, but I’m a little let down by the current harvest season.

Blood will flow like a river as Bern City is being supplied and a rebel group is being formed in real time.

It will definitely be warm.

Hehehe.

“I’m more grateful. And you. You fought a scary witch in the capital? How was it?”

ah.

I see. I guess that’s what you wanted to ask.

It’s not like there’s any conspiracy or scheme hidden among the nobles, but rather, they’re looking at me with eyes sparkling with pure curiosity and asking me questions.

Moreover, the distance between you and me has been greatly reduced.

So I thought it would be okay if it was just a little bit, so I described Maleficent’s current appearance with my hands and spoke.

“Maleficent became this crown.”

“Uh… … . Right, I see.”

The distance between our hearts has widened again.
