Chapter Index

    A place beneath the desert where a commotion has passed. The skeleton, which was looking at the clearly revealed night sky, smiled at the scenery of the sky that it had encountered after a long time.

    It’s fascinating. Was the night sky originally that beautiful?

    The night sky in the memory engraved in the original was just a sign of terrible misfortune, but why does the night in reality shine so brightly?

    Maybe the original didn’t want me to be curious about the outside world.

    If I were curious about the outside scene, I might try to abandon this place and go outside.

    The skeleton thought that Erginus’s worries were not in vain.

    If I had remained here for a long time with that scene engraved in my head, I would have definitely wandered around looking for a way to leave this place.

    “But, Erginus. Why didn’t you take the fairy’s memories from me? If you wanted me to keep this place forever, you should have taken those happy memories with me too.”

    If that were the case, I wouldn’t have felt as earnestly as I do now. The skeleton, laughing, took its gaze away from the night sky and filled the ceiling.

    “No matter how many times I look back at the scene just now, I still can’t understand it.”

    I understand that the explosive power was increased by stringing together several bombs and scrolls. I can also guess that the impact from the explosion had some effect on the scroll.

    But why does that effect have the result of destroying Erginus’ magic and destroying the ceiling, which should have remained intact even in the face of a major disaster?

    “Lord. What on earth did you tell that child?”

    Feeling a headache, the skeleton let out words of lamentation and created an illusion in the air.

    This is a picture that depicts a scene of destruction that remains in one’s memory.

    There are still a few months left, so let’s analyze it in the meantime.

    I can’t allow an unknown phenomenon to exist that I don’t know about.

    At the moment when the skeleton, who had developed a competitive spirit for the first time in a long time, was about to immerse himself in his own world, information flowed to him that someone had entered the entrance to the dungeon where he was lurking.

    her. This place is one that comes in every few years, but two groups of customers come in a day.

    It couldn’t have been a coincidence, and they were the ones following that cocky kid.

    Ruel. That guy. Why didn’t you catch something like this while you were next to the little boy?

    These parts have become worn out over time, but the stubbornness remains the same.

    The skeleton held on to his staff, thinking that he would tell him how pathetic he was the next time they met.

    Looking at the energy flowing from the intruders, it looks like they are bastards serving the evil god of the void. It worked out just fine.

    A modern wizard has just taught me a novel idea. If we use him, we can easily play with them.

    “Should I take out the frustration I got from that kid on those guys.”

    The skeleton smiled mischievously and moved its feet.

    “…Can we receive compensation like this even though we have not done anything?”

    The mercenary leader showed a cautious attitude when he saw the gold coin I held out.

    They said they didn’t do it for money in the first place. They say that if they receive this much money without doing anything, they will end up in trouble.

    As I watched him waving his hands, I shook my head and took out a few more gold coins from my pocket.

    “F. Lady?!”

    “What is it? Is this not enough?”

    “No! It’s really okay! We just.”

    “Hmm. okay. I will be a special protector for the greedy man. Rip as much as you can.”

    “Please. Lady Aln. If you do this, I will have no shame in looking at Sir Benedick.”

    In a strange situation where one said he would give more and the other said please don’t give, it was the mercenary leader who ultimately raised the white flag.

    He realized that adding more words would only make the situation worse, so he had no choice but to accept the money I offered him with pale hands.

    “He said he didn’t need the money, but since it’s an amount he likes, look at how he gets it right away. How can you scare a weak girl and extort money like this? He’s a complete devil.”

    “…No. I said I didn’t need it, but the lady insisted.”

    “That’s right. I gave it voluntarily. So don’t be angry. I’m so scared. Are you short on money? Then.”

    “I don’t know what I did wrong, but please save me. Lady Aln. I really feel like I’m going to be torn in half by Lord Benedick at this rate.”

    Watching the sight of a man who operated numerous mercenaries like an army kneeling down and praying, I felt sad beyond joy.

    Is being abusive with money something only people with the right personality can do?

    “If you understand, just take what they give you. Don’t pretend to be nice by talking about grace or anything. A mercenary who is crazy about money would be the same if he pretended to be a knight.”

    “…No matter what, this is too much.”

    “Why?”

    “No. Thanks for the advice. I will engrave it in my ears.”

    When I quietly brought up the honorific, the mercenary leader was horrified and shook his head. I wish it had been like this a long time ago.

    “Next time I call you, come running quickly. Otherwise I’ll tell Papa that you threatened me.”

    “I will respond to your call even if it means giving up my life.”

    After parting ways with the mercenary leader, I returned to my friends, and Arthur and Joey’s gazes were subtle.

    “Why do you look at me like that?”

    “As far as I know, the Aln family is not a very wealthy family, so I was wondering where that money came from.”

    “I’m curious about that too. They said it was okay even if I didn’t give them any money, but they handed me a bunch of gold coins.”

    hmm. Certainly, the money I gave you just now is too much money for the daughter of a noble family to give lightly.

    If someone who didn’t know the situation had seen it, they would have suspected that something strange was involved.

    A few months ago, I wasn’t rich enough to throw away that much money.

    Until the Perverted Apostle put an absurd amount of money in my hands.

    ‘As you may have heard, jewelry with Lady Arn’s picture on it is being sold so successfully that even though we are doing our best to produce it, we cannot keep up with it. Thanks to this, our believers are dying in happiness.’

    ‘If the Lady had not willingly given permission, this miracle would not have happened. Therefore, it is only natural for us to give a portion of the profits we make from jewelry to the lady.’

    ‘It’s okay not to worry about the little things. ‘I spend what I can use out of the net profit and give what is left over.’

    The unit of money that the Perverted Apostle gave me was not gold coins.

    Platinum coin. A huge amount of money made up of ten gold coins that become one. There were five such currencies in my pocket.

    The moment I saw the money shining in my pocket, I unconsciously started talking about making more jewelry.

    no! Think about it! In an instant, enough money to run a large estate for a year came in! If you can endure embarrassment just once, how much money can you make!

    Not only did the perverted apostle gladly accept my offer, but he also said that he would call me later after he was fully prepared.

    The moment I saw the passion in his eyes, I realized I had said something pointless, but by then it was already too late to turn back.

    …He’s a perverted apostle. What on earth are they preparing for that is why they haven’t contacted me for a while?

    As time goes by, I become more and more anxious. Is this the mind of a death row inmate awaiting execution?

    Anyway, when I explained that I made a profit from the sale of jewelry, my friends were naturally convinced.

    From their perspective, the speed at which my accessories were spreading was very fast.

    “If you made that much money, why not spend some of it for us?”

    “Are you telling me to spend the money I earned from selling my body on the poor prince? It can’t be helped. A powerless noble must kneel before the royal family…”

    “What does it mean to be powerless? A guy who can erase people like me from the world if he wants to!”

    I returned to the academy after arguing with my friends and immediately headed to where the dean was.

    As the skeleton told us, in order to intervene in the barrier, you need permission from the dean, who is the decision maker.

    I didn’t think it would be difficult to ask his permission.

    The dean already has a leash around his neck, so how could he refuse my request?

    “Sorry. Lady Aln. I think it will take some time.”

    However, the dean’s answer was different from what I expected. He expressed his distress by breaking out in a cold sweat.

    “Have you had memory problems because you got too old? Should I remind you what kind of leash is hanging around the neck of an old man with dementia?”

    “I also feel the same way, so I would like to give permission right away. As you know, there are too many things involved in the Academy right now.”

    If the situation at the academy had been the same as before, the dean would have been willing to let me intervene in the barrier.

    But now things have changed a lot. In fact, the current situation inside the academy took on the aspect of a proxy war between the forces of the first and second queens, and many rights were taken away from the dean.

    “Please give me some time. We will guide you to the place where the magic of the barrier is until the midterm exam is over.”

    The dean’s earnest words did not sound like an excuse.

    Is this a physically impossible situation? It’s possible to interfere with the barrier in a somewhat bizarre way if you want, but it’s a bit weird to do something crazy like that when you can go the normal route.

    There isn’t that much time left until the midterm exam period.

    “Ah.”

    sleep.

    for a moment.

    How much time is left until the midterm exam period?

    2 weeks?

    Only two weeks left already!?

    After realizing the shocking truth, I quickly got up from my seat and ran out of the dean’s office.

    We’re in big trouble!

    This time, I was really planning to study to improve my intelligence!

    If this continues, I will have to live with an intelligence of 58!

    You can’t do that!

    This is a matter of my pride!
