Night, a special room in a dormitory.
“Whoa. With this, all the big things have been sorted out.”
“You have worked hard, Bocchan.”
As soon as I got back, I collapsed onto the bed without even changing my clothes. Gin is all gone.
“Honestly, I am tired. I want to rest for about a week.”
“I think it’s okay to rest as long as you want.”
“When you say you want to rest, it has meaning because you can’t rest.”
“… … ? I’m not sure what that means.”
As Katyusa said, in my position, no one and no professor would say that I was truant. But the image will be bad.
Even if there were a lot of tiring things like missions and celebrations, in the end, the only fact that remains is that you did your own truancy. I don’t know if it’ll be okay for a day or so.
“It is tiring to be in a position to be an example. Sometimes I just want to throw it all away and lie in bed all day.”
“I think it’s okay to spend like that on the weekends. We have prepared the leftovers for the banquet, so how about spending it leisurely while eating them?”
“I thought I was doing something, but I guess I took care of it. I’m not a housewife… … . Of course I’ll eat it thanks. To be honest, it was a pity that I didn’t eat much because I was so busy.”
What happened to the full course meal prepared for the chancellor? It must have been quite difficult since I, the next person to give it to, also disappeared.
“Everyone ate well. The quantity was small because it was premised on one serving.”
“It would be great if you didn’t throw it away. Well, enough to talk about food… … .”
I got up and stretched out my arms to Katyusha. Katyusha took off my coat with a skillful motion. I usually do it myself, but today I just wanted to leave it to you.
“Did Katyusha hear anything about Parabellum?”
However, he shook his hand and asked, “What’s wrong with making him take off his shirt?” Katyusha took a step back and thought for a moment.
“… … I remember that when I went to the Azmash workshop to make firearms before, two generations said the name. Other than that, nothing.”
“Come to think of it, there was a man with silver hair wearing a hat in the studio. He might be the spokesperson for Parabellum.”
His personality is too much to be called an extra, so it remains in my memory. Excluding the dead Lenny, he was the only one who belonged to Parabellum that he knew.
“It would have been nice if he had been caught and tortured. Too bad.”
“I know. Next time I see it, I’ll have to take it to the men’s police officer as soon as possible.”
“Namjanggyeong… … ?”
Katyusha tilted her head. I wanted to explain the fromm, but I stopped talking because it was going to be too long.
“Anyway, I think it’s more annoying than I thought.”
With a light sigh, I spoke sincerely.
At first, I thought it might be something like a simple war merchant. It was regarded as a group trying to develop and distribute firearms and make a fortune with the profits.
However, the more I knew the truth, the more I became suspicious that it might be a much more dangerous being that could not be dismissed as a war merchant.
They were the ones who supplied firearms to this world. They were the first to put the idea into practice, even though it fell far short of my proposal.
I was also concerned about the new farming method that was applied to Saratov. Parabellum may have technology that was ahead of its time, not just in firearms, but in other fields as well.
‘I can’t underestimate the fighting power there.’
I was surprised that Lenny belonged to Parabellum, but if you add the fact that he killed 11 intelligence agents in an unknown way, it was clear that it was not a simple interest group.
‘How come it didn’t appear in the original work anyway?’
Maybe it went overboard due to the writer’s circumstances while trying to include it as a reversal element? In fact, it may have been an organization that exists only in the setting. Like the organization where Katyusha was.
But here is the reality. There are only settings or nothing like that. The setting is coming soon.
If so, what is their purpose?
I couldn’t even anticipate it now.
“young master.”
While I was thinking about it, Katyusha started talking to me.
“I don’t know, but one thing is for sure.”
“What is it?”
“If you are a young boy, you will surely be able to overcome any adversity.”
“… … okay. thanks.”
Katyusha bowed her head politely. And when I gestured for him to leave, he turned off the light and left with a greeting saying good night.
‘It’s no use worrying about something you don’t know. Let’s get a good night’s sleep.’
I lay down on the bed again. I think I can get a good rest today.
I wonder if it’s been an hour since I sent Katyusha and lay down.
‘I can’t sleep at all.’
Contrary to the expectation that I thought I would face it, I couldn’t sleep because my head was complicated. Compared to what I thought I was exhausted, my body was surprisingly awake.
‘… … Does Eugene know something?’
After tossing and turning for a while, I remembered Eugene. Eugene knew Parabellum’s sentence to prepare for war if he wanted peace.
‘I asked if I didn’t tell you, but it wasn’t audible.’
There is a high probability that there was contact between Eugene and Parabellum. Maybe you know more about Parabellum than I do.
‘I wonder if he said he would not join me because he knew something about Parabellum… … ?!’
There was a clicking sound coming from the window. I quickly got up and looked out the window.
From noble mtl dot com
Pine cones flew and hit the window. It looked like someone was throwing it from below.
“… … I heard that even a tiger will come when I say it.”
Underneath the window, Yujin was standing looking up at me.
After putting on my clothes, I slightly amplified my senses, opened the window, and jumped down. As he fell, he kicked a nearby tree to cushion the impact and landed safely.
“What’s going on tonight, Eugene?”
“There is no need to come down so quickly.”
“If you open the door and leave, Katyusha wakes up. The annoying thing is the specifications. So what happened?”
“… … I want to tell you a little story.”
When I questioned him, Eugene spoke after a moment of silence.
“It’s about Parabellum.”
It was just a story I wanted to hear.
“As expected, you knew something, Eugene. I thought so.”
“Before that, there is something I want to ask you first.”
In the darkness that I was slowly getting used to, Eugene stared at me as if he could clearly see through me.
“Are you the one who was before my father in Saratov?”
“… … .”
Just as I thought Eugene was related to Parabellum, did Eugene suspect that Saratov’s suggestion was related to me?
“As expected, it was too much to cover it up a little.”
If I doubt my opponent, the opponent can also doubt me. It’s an obvious fact, but I hoped that it would go over to allow the story in moderation. Like a habit of talking, I was comfortable thinking that this was reality.
“When did you notice?”
“I had doubts from the moment we first met at the academy, and now I am sure. I must have been wrong.”
“okay. that’s me right So what do you want to say?”
I was conscious of the existence of the sword at my waist. Eugene was also wearing a sword. I had a hunch that tonight would not pass easily.
“Prince. You said you would create a force against Parabellum.”
“It did.”
“They told me.”
I focused on Eugene’s words.
“We know the future.”
“I know the future… … ?”
I was shaken by the unexpected story.
‘It is true that their technology was ahead of the current era. But I know the future… … ? What kind of future are you talking about?’
Is it the future in the story of the original story? Or is it the technology of the future in reality? Or maybe it’s another future I don’t know about.
“Prince.”
Eugene called me, lost in thought.
“Don’t you know the future too?”
“… … under.”
It was a sharp question that made me think that it was not for nothing that I made the main character in the original work.
“What is the basis?”
“How did you end up in Saratov?”
“I just went to comfort you because I heard that you’ve been feeling bad lately.”
But I have no intention of acknowledging it.
“How did you know about your father? And that my father and I have the magic of water.”
“It is mere speculation. Wouldn’t it be natural to think that there would be something if we were making good medicine at a low price?”
“Someone like the Crown Prince knows a lot about a pharmacy in Saratov. amazing.”
Eugene sarcastically said in disbelief. Unfortunately, the hasty excuses didn’t work.
“And I heard about you from my father when I stopped by the store for a bit.”
Did Eugene stop by the store before the rebellion and then go back out? this is new information
“They said that a high-ranking person had come. And I said I would have to put an end to this.”
‘Did Johannes, Eugene’s father, take my advice seriously?’
If the rebellion had happened a little later, Eugene’s father might have closed the store and moved to another place, or he might have become a nobleman by revealing that he possesses the magic of water.
“That night, a rebellion broke out and my father died. You were there.”
Of course, it’s a meaningless idea now.
“And my father and I had the magic of water. It will be of great power to you.”
“so?”
“How the hell did you know? That there was a rebellion, and that my father and I had the magic of water. And that the rebels are going to raid your father’s pharmacy?”
“… … I just thought that would be the case, so can’t we just move on?”
“Answer me straight, prince. Other than that, not one or two. Suspicions abound.”
Eugene shouted. Then, he slowly pulled out the sword he was wearing at his waist.
“If you don’t tell me straight up, I can only think of you as one with Parabellum.”
The cold sound of the sword in the sheath and the sword rang with Eugene’s voice.
“Rather than cooperate, we will end up killing each other.”
Eugene pointed a knife at me and said.
It’s a troublesome flow.
“Are you sure you can beat me?”
“It’s not bad to die with honor.”
“I don’t want to kill you honorably. It’s a disgrace on my part.”
After answering with a sigh, I pondered for a while.
“Would you believe me if I were living the second time?”
And I concluded that it wouldn’t be okay if I knew at least one person.
“If you say you died miserably once and live again.”
Even if it’s not a book possession, but a regressive setting.
“… … What do you want to say?”
“What do you mean, sleep, that’s it.”
I took a step closer to Eugene, who did not understand.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s Parabellum. I don’t know if they know the future or not. When I first died, I didn’t even know they existed.”
“… … In other words, it has nothing to do with Parabellum, but you know the future?”
“You understand quickly. I like that there are no useless questions.”
“Then let me ask you one thing.”
As soon as I said it was good because there were no useless questions, questions flew in.
“Why didn’t you stop the uprising in Saratov?”
That was a pretty annoying question.
