“The sage’s care, it’s amazing… … ?”
Bernadette asked.
“okay. You have the talent to do that.”
I said with force. Bernadette looked up at me with her characteristic slightly dazed expression.
“There is no need to rush. There is a lot of time. I wish it could be done within a year, if possible.”
The item that Bernadette will make, ‘Magic Stone’, is a strong and cheap artifact that changes the way warfare itself.
The Iron Blood military in the original work treated magic stones as useless imitations, but the Revolutionary Army did not. They actively used the power of magic stones to oppose the Sangvis army.
In fact, it was no exaggeration to say that the greatest weapons of the Revolutionary Army were ‘firearms’ and ‘magic stones’.
‘Of course, even so, I don’t have the slightest intention of providing magic stones to the Iron Blood Army.’
“… … who.”
Bernadette, who was staring at me, stood up.
“Who are you to be so proud of yourself?”
Then he raised his eyebrows and said in a bad mood.
“ah… … . Do you really not know?”
It was a very fresh experience, so it was fun rather than angry. How can I express it? It feels like looking at a new recruit mistaking me for a classmate or successor. Of course, I don’t mean to offend you.
“I don’t know much, but I think it doesn’t matter, but I… … .”
I opened my mouth, anticipating how they would react if I revealed that I was the crown prince.
“Boss, I finished applying for admission.”
Katyusha opened the classroom door and appeared before he could say that he was Prince Chae.
I chewed my words at the sudden appearance of an intruder, even a school uniform.
“… … young master?”
Bernadette tilted her head and repeated. Heat rose up on his face.
“I told you not to call me Master!”
“oh. Come to think of it.”
As if Katyusha had just remembered it, he made a gesture of regret. cute but annoying I’ve captured all the atmosphere, but what kind of flow is this?
More than that, Katyusha, even though her character has changed recently, isn’t it too different? It makes me wonder if something happened without my knowledge. I’ll catch up later and talk.
“But what… … .”
Katyusha, who had been approaching me and Bernadette, had been crying until right before, so her eyes hardened as she looked at Bernadette and me in embarrassment. And uh, um. I was so flustered that it was funny.
“… … And, did you even refuse to confess?”
And he stuttered and asked me. I was making an absurd misunderstanding.
“It may seem that way, but it is not.”
I sighed and tried to talk to Bernadette again. But Bernadette turned her back and put her things in her bag.
“Are you going, Bernadette?”
“… … It has nothing to do with the young master.”
said Bernadette in a fit of rage. The words not to be called ‘Bocchan’ almost came out of my mouth inadvertently.
“And if you’re going to call me, call me Ver without Nadette. I hate being called by my full name.”
Bernadette, no, Ver, left these words behind, put on her bag, and disappeared out of the classroom with loud footsteps on purpose. Katyusha and I, feeling a bit exhausted, were left in the empty classroom.
“… … Did the young master confess and get dumped?”
“No.”
I was a little annoyed and denied it.
“Katyusha. Shall we talk for a minute?”
And recently, I decided to talk to a maid who couldn’t even read the first verse.
“Katyusha.”
When I called in a rather serious atmosphere, Katyusha straightened her posture as if slightly nervous.
“Don’t you think that the distance between the master and the servant has become a little strange, strangely, making frequent mistakes these days?”
I asked after taking a deep breath. I’m not used to blaming someone for something, but continuing to live like this has an outward image and is somehow difficult.
“… … It seems so.”
Katyusha quietly affirmed that he was being stabbed.
“It’s not that I don’t like being close friends or that I want to have the same rigid relationship as before.”
“… … yes.”
“I was just genuinely curious about the reason. What are you doing these days?”
He was aware that his personality was changing from the point where his sense of touch was restored. However, recent changes are somewhat difficult to control.
Honestly, it’s okay when it’s just the two of us, but it’s difficult when there’s other people’s eyes.
“That, that… … .”
At my question, Katyusha was restless and averted her gaze.
“Honestly, I was excited.”
And he gave an unexpected answer.
“Because the world felt so different after the sense of touch came back. We came all the way to the knight academy together, and although I was nervous, I felt so happy somewhere, it was the first time I felt like this… … .”
The contents of Katyusha’s head down and speaking quickly in gibberish are,
“Because it was as if there was no joy in my life until now.”
It was his own inner thoughts that were not revealed in the original work.
“I have always considered myself to be a ghost. A body that cannot feel neither heat nor cold.”
Perhaps Katyusha’s blocked senses were killing her emotions as well.
“It was a day without any reward other than just carrying out orders and waiting for the reply that I did well.”
Katyusha has lived a life like a machine whose senses are blocked just because it is efficient, and the only purpose of existence is to carry out commands.
“I did, but after the sense of touch came back… … Every day feels like floating.”
That’s why I couldn’t control the emotions that came back with the sense of touch.
“I’m really, really sorry.”
It must have been difficult for Katyusha, who had finally come to feel what it was called emotion, to fully control it.
“… … I understand. I’m not sorry. Things like that happen, too. You just have to be careful in the future.”
I understood Katyusha. It must have been just the first emotion I felt.
And the basis of that feeling must be a favorable feeling toward me.
“Bocchan is such a nice person. I thought he was like that before, but I feel that he is a better person recently.”
“is it.”
“I inadvertently pampered such a young boy. It is my negligence. sorry. I apologize again.”
“… … I don’t really care.”
Neither I nor Mikhail are very good at speaking to comfort others.
“But you called me Bocchan again.”
“oh! Sin, sorry. b*tch, Crown Prince… … !”
“Call me Mikhail. I’m comfortable with that I will allow you.”
That’s why I can’t do anything but be sincere.
“Ha, but Crown Prince. that… … .”
“Call me Mikhail. You and I are just classmates here.”
When I firmly hung up, Katyusha fell silent and hesitated.
“Ah, I see. Mikhail… … sir.”
And he answered as if he had made up his mind. I haven’t been able to take off the title of honor until the end, but it must be too much to ask for that. That’s enough for now.
“good job. And I missed the timing to say it.”
I cleared my throat lightly. And he said to the still nervous Katyusha.
“School uniform, it suits you. much better than me.”
“thank you.”
Katyusha quietly expressed his gratitude. And there was silence for a while.
“Well, even if it’s too much for a maid, there are many cases where it’s not like that for a classmate. If you think you’ve crossed the line, I’ll tell you right away, so take it easy. I don’t want to be awkward now.”
The atmosphere was stuffy, so I added gibberish.
“… … After all, Michael is a very nice person.”
From noble mtl dot com
I don’t know what I’m talking about myself, but Katyusha smiled happily.
“Are you not taking swordsmanship lessons?”
“I’m not listening today. I plan to watch it from afar.”
On the rooftop of the teacher, I looked down at the swordsmanship class from the training ground. Originally, I was scheduled to attend the class, but I did not attend.
Of course, since I’ve told Mustafa in advance, there’s no problem with my identity. … … It’s not a position where you have to worry about yourself in the first place.
Mustafa appeared in front of the students in line at the training ground. At that moment, it was visibly revealed that the students were agitated.
“Everyone is curious about the Amerians. Other than the color of my skin, there is nothing else.”
“I agree. If I had to say it, it would be different if the motion sickness was somewhat severe.”
However, everyone was agitated, but they did not quarrel with Mustafa. It was because of the rumor that ‘Mustafa was the professor brought by the prince’ within the academy.
‘Proud worked hard. He’s a competent guy.’
Yesterday, I asked Proud to spread the rumor like that. Thanks to this, there was no action that infringed on Mustafa’s religious authority, which was in the original work.
“… … Mustafa is in charge of swordsmanship from today. Please take good care of me.”
Mustafa introduced himself in a slightly nervous voice. The students nervously bowed their heads clumsily and replied that they would like to ask. It was kind of funny because it looked like a kindergarten.
“I’m just trying to figure out the level.”
After silence, Mustafa spoke according to the script I had prepared and looked at the students.
“Did you say you were the top student in the armed forces section, Eugene?”
Then he pointed at Eugene with a wooden sword and said. Eugene, who had been sitting quietly, stood up.
“yes. That’s right. There are still many shortcomings.”
It was a serious tone that was different from the cheerful atmosphere of the original. If it’s cool in its own way, it’s cool, but it was funny because of the gap with the original.
“Are there any interesting parts?”
“No, just. just. Whoa.”
To the puzzled Katyusha, I waved my hand and said it was nothing. It is a very bad habit to laugh to yourself for no reason. Be careful next time
“If I use you as a standard, the level might be too high, but can I ask you to fight first?”
“I will accept it gratefully.”
To Mustafa’s request for sparring, Yujin bowed politely in response, then took out the wooden sword worn around her waist and walked forward. It was a sight that felt somewhat unfamiliar to me because I had always practiced only with a real sword.
“Even if you get hit, if it doesn’t hurt that much, I don’t think there will be any tension.”
“No, getting hit in the neck hurts. Come to think of it, I haven’t had a fight with you recently.”
“… … I’m honestly a bit uneasy about whether I’ll be able to fight like before.”
The light words made Katyusha worried as if he was paying attention. Certainly, now that I have regained my sense of touch, it will not be easy to receive the knife with my hand like before.
“it’s okay. It’s best if you don’t fight, and that’s my job.”
“But I am sorry to be a burden to Mikhail.”
Katyusha shook her head.
“Now that I’m a student, I’ll try to properly learn swordsmanship.”
As soon as Katyusha revealed her decision, Eugene and Mustafa, who had been confronting each other in a stance, began to move.
‘How strong have you become, Eugene?’
I braced my chin and intensified my vision. The excitement of anticipation did not stop.
