Chapter Index

    After the episode of Eliminating the Assassin and Protecting the Designated Target ends.

    There is nothing left now.

    Until Chapter 3 ends, the major episodes are mostly just episodes that disrupt Another Plan.

    Even that didn’t feel that threatening, and it was just a matter of gradually accumulating the funds needed to escape.

    However, there is something left to do before that.

    Somehow I managed to clear the episode, but I couldn’t avoid being hospitalized, so I had to deal with the aftermath firsthand.

    however.

    ▶Your overall evaluation rank for the progress of the founding of the nation is B.◀

    Surprisingly, the overall evaluation rank was not low.

    I was away for a long time.

    He suddenly got seriously injured and was hospitalized without even telling the reporters.

    Even though there must have been more than one or two things he didn’t know, his rank wasn’t particularly low.

    Even here, there were things that had to be beaten.

    I don’t know about anything else, but this is definitely something that needs to be nitpicked.

    They were dissatisfied with the useless request for self-defense items from their subjects, and should have protested through the Bagrand Dukes.

    Since it would not have been strange if double or triple penalties were imposed, all of these should have been included in the payment costs.

    but.

    “It is said that while the young master was lying down, the demons actually appeared.”

    Camilla said that it seems that demons really did appear in Geon-guk-guk.

    It wasn’t just one or two, it was as if they were waiting for this moment.

    But what kind of coincidence is this?

    My deployment plan was said to have been useful in blocking simultaneous attacks by those demons, as soldiers were placed precisely at every intersection.

    Thanks to this, the damage was minimal, and it is said that the influence of the vassals also played a role.

    “The vassals of the Bagrand Dukes were also targeted quite a bit, but the young master was cheering, saying that his foresight saved their lives.”

    …It wasn’t originally written that way. They just told me to bring it in case someone was going to be assassinated.

    This is not even in the realm of calculation, it is more like a matter of luck or chance.

    But unfortunately, this luck came at a price.

    A price in a form I never imagined possible.

    ▶A hidden route has occurred.◀

    ▶The main episode restarts after the assassin’s removal and the response to the demons are completely successful.◀

    ▶Episode IX. The resumption of the founding of the nation begins.◀

    ▶Start Date: 3 days later◀

    “…replay the episode again.”

    You didn’t see things wrong.

    The episode clear conditions did not change, nor did the episode itself change. It also did not connect to another episode.

    To be precise, ‘restart’.

    A window popped up offering to start over by just changing the episode number.

    “At least this can’t be good news. I’ve never seen, heard, or even experienced this kind of price.”

    You have to use your head.

    The hint that the episode will start anyway doesn’t go away.

    The absurd situation of an episode restart unfolded…

    There are definitely clues.

    ▶Start Date: 3 days later◀

    “You mean it’s not starting now, but in 3 days?”

    This is the awkward part.

    Today, three days have already passed since the foundation of the country.

    There’s no reason to give me this much time when I’m already pressuring you to do the episode right now.

    But what if we match the dates?

    Three days have passed. And three days after the episode begins.

    If you add up the periods, it’s exactly one week later, and if you add up all the hours, minutes, and seconds, it’s a perfect match.

    To put it bluntly, this was not a restart.

    The episode was postponed.

    So why was this episode delayed?

    We need to find an answer to this question.

    I organize the knowledge that has accumulated by writing it down on paper.

    [ 1. If it becomes possible to enter a different route during the episode progression. ]

    “This is probably the most common case.”

    The most likely reason why the main episode was pushed back.

    That is, if access via another route becomes possible.

    Episodes that didn’t progress on time and offered alternate routes, regardless of whether they were sub or main, were often pushed back, even events and emergency missions.

    But this is definitely not the case.

    “In most cases where it becomes possible to enter through a different route, there are choices involved. Because all of the changes are caused by my choices.”

    In this case, it was just faithfully progressing through the main episode, and telling the vassals to bring self-defense items was also an individual action in the skip scene.

    That is, it is not related to the reason why the time was delayed since it does not apply to either side.

    Well then, I guess we should move on to the next one.

    [ 2. When the clear conditions of the main episode change. ]

    “…This is the most annoying case.”

    There have been cases where the content of the main episode has changed. There have been many cases where hidden episodes overlapped, and there have been times when I had to wander around looking for new clear conditions.

    For example, it doesn’t matter if you summarize it as Flora or Claire.

    Without further ado, if the clear conditions change, it would be enough reason for the episode to be postponed.

    But there is one contradiction in this case too.

    “I already knew the clear conditions. I also found all the signs that Isabella would be assassinated. The system didn’t stop it and even acknowledged it, right?”

    The clear condition for the explicit objective episode is to protect Isabella until the end, and to complete the confirmed kill by raising the memorial.

    Since the system has openly acknowledged this, this is also not a valid reason for the episode to be delayed.

    “…Then what’s left is this.”

    [ 3. If a part that must be done in an episode is missing. ]

    Although this is the most uncommon case, it has happened occasionally.

    There was no problem clearing the main episode, but if a scene that was absolutely necessary was missing, I would go through the same process as if it absolutely had to be included.

    A typical example is the birthday gift for the three sisters.

    It was mentioned in some way, including dialogue, actions, and choices, and if it was missing, the episode would be delayed in various ways with a message saying that an error had occurred.

    That means there is a part that absolutely must be included in this episode of Geon-guk-guk.

    “…Is there such a thing?”

    The assassin has definitely been solved.

    The phrase “the demons appeared” is also a bit of a coincidence, but it’s actually been sorted out.

    Now that I’ve gotten to the comprehensive evaluation, there’s a part I absolutely have to get into?

    -widely.

    “Ha. What’s the use of worrying about this?”

    Of course not. It’s enough that this episode isn’t being rerun.

    Anyway, unlike the linking, the episode transfer does not show what has already been done. This means that you don’t have to worry about finding the target of the assassination and finding out who to protect.

    That’s fine, right?

    “What’s missing? You’ll find out as you progress through the episodes.”

    For now, you just need to wait for the right time and save up your money.

    ▶You have chosen as the method of obtaining funds for .◀

    ▶This is a 5-step condition. The amount of funds you need to hold has increased!◀

    ▶Own 276.6 million Pesels in reserve funds.◀

    [ About 70% filled! ]

    Anyway, there isn’t much time left.

    ***

    3 days later.

    The founding ceremony was held again.

    The imperial family recognized that the Baghdad family was carrying too much of a burden and withdrew the task of preparing for the founding of the country, thus reducing the burden.

    Thanks to that, I didn’t have much to do.

    With assassins no longer coming like before and work being divided up between other families, he had a lot of free time.

    “Mom, Mom! Then we can play?”

    “Yeah.”

    “Hehehe! I’m so excited!”

    Of course, it wasn’t just me who had a reduced workload, but Isabella and her two sisters as well. That’s probably why the Bagrand Dukes came together in one place.

    “I took care of everything early, but what about you, sister?”

    “I also quickly dealt with it because Flora wanted to play.”

    “Hmm. Then let’s all play together this time. Right? Karcein.”

    “…”

    Things were going in the direction of moving with the family.

    If I think about it objectively, there was nothing like this when I was doing the episode.

    When you’re so busy looking for assassination targets, how can you have time to spend with your family? Naturally, the time you spend with them is extremely limited or non-existent.

    That’s why my mouth feels bitter.

    ‘…This isn’t the reason why the episode was postponed, is it?’

    No matter how I think about it, I think it’s a bit of a leap.

    The only part that must be done in the episode and cannot be skipped is spending time with the family.

    There are no events and not even any urgent missions, so this can’t really be a necessary scene.

    …I repeated this over and over again.

    Even though the founding of the nation was in full swing, no choice was presented to me, as if this was the right answer.

    ‘Ha… It’s a bit ridiculous, but it’s okay. In fact, it’s not dangerous if it’s like this.’

    What’s wrong with spending some free and boring time? It’s something that’s always happened in real life.

    Before I left that house on my own two feet, I had wasted a lot of time on this, so I could just let it go and say that this time would be no different.

    Quietly, wearing a mask. Adapting to them.

    I could just give them whatever they want and hide my intentions.

    After a few hours, we arrive at the end of Geon-guk-guk-do.

    When I finished the main ceremony and came down from the stage as the recipient, a brightly smiling Harnie was standing in front of me.

    “It’s a festival after a long time. Don’t you think you should spend some time with me, your fiancée, instead of just hanging out with your family?”

    At those words, Flora immediately responded with a “tsk!” in a pouty tone.

    Claire gently consoled Flora and told her not to do that, and Arina nodded and didn’t say anything else after that.

    It’s time to spend with my fiancée.

    I don’t know if this is a coincidence or luck.

    “Can I come back?”

    “Okay. Have fun with Youngae too.”

    What is certain is that we have earned the right to escape from them.

    ***

    After that day, Harnie was in agony for a long time.

    Because ever since I realized that Karsene had to go back, I felt like I shouldn’t be with him.

    He is not of this world.

    This person has not been living here for a long time.

    A person who must return to his original place of residence.

    It was inevitable that I would feel miserable because I had such a man in mind. Karsene was someone I would have to let go of someday.

    But I couldn’t continue to endure this suffering.

    So, I came to this conclusion.

    “…Harnie?”

    “Yes?”

    “That… isn’t it a little, no, a lot closer?”

    “What’s wrong with that? Besides, shouldn’t you have this kind of experience?”

    Before he leaves.

    I plan to spend as much time as possible and make memories.

    -Tiring!
