Chapter 109 – Unraveling the plot
Just the day before I set out on a journey to track down a group of suspected evil spirit followers through Marquis Sebatia, I had a conversation with Nina. Was
A rough estimate, the time required for this mission to track down enemies in unexplored regions is at least two months.
It was a mission to return to the Royal Academy in time if even that evidence could not be found.
So, I told her that I was going to have to go out quite a bit.
“So I think I should go somewhere for a month at the earliest or two months at the latest.”
Nina stood still, listened to me, and nodded her head.
“Please be careful. However, in the sense that you will definitely return, could you buy me a present when you do?”
“What gift?”
I was puzzled by Nina’s direct request for a gift.
“Anything is fine. It means you must come back alive.”
Ah, if it had that kind of meaning, I could have bought it as much as I wanted.
“Whoops, then I’ll buy you a nice present that you can look forward to.”
I promised to buy you a nice gift with a big word.
Three years have passed since then.

Nina, freed from the arms of Alberto, who now bore the name Adalbert, questioned him with her bloodshot eyes.
“What the hell happened in the last three years? Her hair has turned white, and her mood has changed a lot.”
“It would take a little longer to explain,”
To Nina’s question, Adalbert scratched her head slightly as if it was difficult to answer.
This isn’t because it’s difficult to reveal the past three years, it’s because we haven’t decided where to begin.
“Nina?”
“Yes, boy.”
“How far do you know?”
Adalbert, who couldn’t find the right place to start the story, decided to change his approach.
That was to find out how much Nina knew about what had happened.
Because it is more efficient for her to start from where Nina doesn’t know than to tell her everything she knows.
“What are you talking about?”
“Specifically what happened there.”
“Then, I will only tell you what I know.”
Nina opened her mouth and she told Adalbert the story she knew about her.
Adalbert, or Alberto, as he was called at the time, went missing shortly after he left for the unexplored region.
Then, according to national law, a funeral was held after a few days.
She didn’t know the details of what happened to Alberto.
Even when she asked Count Maydern, she said, “It’s something you shouldn’t know about.” She didn’t answer.
After all, Nina had no idea what was going on in the backcountry.
All she could tell was that Alberto had headed for the wilds, where she had gone missing.
However, there was someone who told her the truth about her day.
“Nina. The truth is…….”
Professor Julia, who taught her her healing magic and medicine, told her everything she knew.
Alberto confirmed that the traces of the followers of evil spirits had been found in the unexplored regions, and headed to the unexplored regions.
And then, the convoy escorting Darius and Horus, prisoners related to Alberto, was ambushed, and the raiders’ trail was directed to the unexplored lands.
Then, the combined investigation team set out for the unexplored region, where they ran into Alberto.
After that, the combined investigation team, who fell into a trap dug by those who followed the evil spirits, misunderstood Alberto and attacked him. The evil spirit descended on the severely injured Alberto and disappeared somewhere.
This was the truth of everything that happened that day.
“This is all I know. Young master.”
Nina told her everything she knew about her.
After she said everything, Nina sighed as if she felt relieved.
“Now, Bocchan, tell me what you know.”
“Then let’s talk from the moment the evil spirit took over my body.”
Adalbert began to tell Nina the story of her that only he knew.
The god slayer ritual was performed at the god slayer’s hammer and the god slayer’s anvil, and the evil god died as a result.
However, during her ritual, she lost consciousness, and when she woke up, two years had already passed.
“Then I met His Majesty the Emperor, explained everything, and was given this name and surname.”
“That name… Is it ‘Adalbert Rainmed’?”
“Yes.”
Alberto. No, Adalbert gave a shy smile.
“Haa… If I had known this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have been given the title of nobility…….”
“Yes? What did you say?”
“Nothing.”
Adalbert, who heard Nina talking to herself, asked what she had said, but she replied that it was nothing, Nina blushing.
Adalbert just nodded at Nina’s answer.
“Then, are you a commoner now?”
“Yes. They said it was a headache because there were so many problems inside the Bregern Empire right now to save their status.”
“I see… ….”
When Adalbert told her why she was a commoner, Nina’s eyes changed in an instant.
Then…….
“Eup?”
She grabbed Adalbert’s collar and pulled his arm, overlapping his lips with her own.
“Ni, Nina?”
“Ha ha ha… …. So you’re saying you don’t have to look at others anymore?”
Nina, who stole Adalbert’s lips, was licking her lips again.
Adalbert was taken aback by the sudden change in her appearance.
The girl who was full of tears just a moment ago is nowhere to be found, and now there is a beast aiming for its prey.
“Shouldn’t it be time to renew our relationship? I’m a professor… You are a student.”
“Uh, um. It’s not wrong…….”
Adalbert was quite taken aback when he saw Nina’s sudden change of mood.
And Nina stared at Adalbert like that, and she giggled.
“Ah, what is it? It’s a joke. It’s a joke. Seriously, Bocchan-nim is cute when he looks like this.”
Nina gently pinched Adalbert’s cheek and said it was a joke.
It was only then that Adalbert realized that Nina had played a prank on him.
“I know how to joke around like this, and I’ve changed a lot in 3 years.”
“Even if your status changes, you will always be the boy to me.”
“Is that so?”
“If it’s the master’s ability, I’ll be able to get a title of count or higher even here. Well, if I go then, I’ll have to call him by a different name than Bocchan.”
Nina’s appearance was very relaxed as she brought up her story about her status.
“Well, if it’s necessary, I’ll drop all titles and go to the countryside with the young master to farm and live.”
“I don’t know how to farm.”
“No way, boy. It’s not that I don’t have the ability to feed myself, right? That’s disappointing.”
Looking at Nina, who did not hesitate to make bombshell remarks about dropping her title of nobility, Adalbert wondered what the hell had made her change so much.
But since she was a lover I hadn’t seen in a long time, she had too much to talk about to even think about it.
Anyway, isn’t she the lover I met after a long time.
Adalbert passed the time by talking with his lover.

Adalbert woke up the next morning.
I woke up a little early today because I was scheduled to go get my school uniform tailored.
After making the bed and leaving the room, Adalbert noticed that there were many people who had the same thoughts as him.
Now he was heading out of Noble Academy, and there were quite a few people walking in the same direction as him.
At Noble Academy, uniform coupons were distributed to all new students.
If you submit this to a clothing store, they will measure the student’s body size and make a custom school uniform for you.
Since the Noble Academy pays the cost later according to the number of coupons and guarantees it by order of the emperor, all the clothing stores near the Noble Academy never refused to receive coupons.
In the early days, there were some stores that refused to accept coupons, but all of those stores soon went bankrupt.
That’s why, no store has turned down coupons for school uniforms.
If there was a store that refused, it just disappeared like the stores of the past.
Anyway, Adalbert had a clothing store he knew while staying here.
Adalbert was on his way to the store now because he liked the craftsmanship of the craftsmen who worked there.
“Welcome. Are you a student?”
“Yes. I’m here to get my uniforms tailored.”
“Good idea. We don’t know anything else, but we make one really good outfit.”
“I know. Looking at the clothes displayed in the store, the fabric was of good quality and the stitching was neat.”
“Hey, this young man has eyes for clothes! Come in here I’ll make you a uniform that’s as comfortable as if you weren’t wearing it!”
Adalbert was led into the store by the craftsman’s hand.
And after a while.
“Are you there?”
Helen of the Alemis family also visited this store.
