Alexei looked out the window.
“… … Mikhail.”
It was his own decision to send Iris. It’s annoying, but I thought that if Iris was sent, I would be able to control it a little, and as he said, it would be better than sending it to the emperor.
‘Is this the result?’
It feels like the dress I prepared and presented as a gift came back after being torn. This was the first time I had fought Iris.
Alexei couldn’t understand what had happened and what had been said to make Iris become like this.
‘What did you cheat on my sister who never rejected my words?’
Alexey looked out the window and touched it.
Pjik, pjik, pjik, chaeng!
Following Alexei’s fingertips, the cracked window slowly shattered. Countless pieces of glass flew and dirty the surroundings, but Alexei’s fingers were unscathed.
‘I will have to kill you someday.’
Alexei identified Mikhail as his enemy.

‘I finished writing the list, but… … It’s hard to decide something with just this.’
I sorted out and pondered the difference between the original work and the reality of people around me.
If I were to categorize the people around me and my colleagues, they would be divided into two categories.
Was it in the Revolutionary Army in the original story or a member of Iron Blood?
Proud, Caspal, and Fromm belonged to Sangvis Sangvis. Caspal defended the territory until the end, and Fromm, as a nursing officer, did not play a large role, but he was not incorporated into the allies until the end.
‘Proud was loyal to Iron Blood until the end in the original work, but that’s because of his naive personality. There is no reason to betray me at the moment when I have been acknowledged as Sangvis’ official successor.’
And even if Proud changes his mind and decides not to join the Revolutionary Army, there is still no reason to side with Parabellum without a root. There is no reason to worry about Proud.
‘In the original work, Caspal supplied pitch blends even through Parabellum, so it’s safe to say that he supported the revolution even if he didn’t actively move.’
From the point of view of reality, we also went through a mountain battle together with the case of the mine. In this situation, Caspal can’t become a villain enough to do something like betrayal. It’s not because he’s not honest, but he’s fundamentally a good guy.
‘From… … . That guy seems to like any place where there’s a lot of blood.’
To be honest, he’s the most insecure guy. Even though it doesn’t seem like it would be too harmful no matter where you go. Still, it is encouraging that he said he would cooperate with the Revolutionary Army, compared to the fact that he was on the side of Sangvis to the end in the original work.
‘It would be good to supply enough food to satisfy them. What a beast.’
The conclusion was that if it was dangerous, it would be from from, and if it was fed well, it would be okay. I think the loyalty of colleagues is also a factor to pay attention to.
‘Then, what about the guys who were members of the Revolutionary Army in the original work?’
Eugene told me that he was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and that in reality he had rejected Parabellum. I don’t think it will move completely according to my will, but at least it’s certain that I won’t stick to parabellum.
Dimitri and Mi-ryeong will remain in the Revolutionary Army for each other’s sake unless either of them wants to leave. In the original work, the story of the two was bitter, but at this point, it seems that they are becoming a good couple to the point of being a little annoying. When I think about it, it is a complicated feeling of half congratulations and half annoyance.
Ber is… … Was it a ‘car heroine’ in the original work? Considering the ugliness I’ve shown so far, it’s impossible to even treat her as a heroine, whether from my point of view or from Eugene’s point of view. At this point, it would be nice to get close to a good solo among my co-workers.
‘… … Come to think of it, was Vere quite close with Fromm?’
I imagined the couple fromm and ver for a while.
‘Mum-mum, this meat pie is delicious! What kind of meat is it in?’
‘Whoops. It’s the secret meat. It’s a rare meat, so I won’t be able to give it to you often.’
From noble mtl dot com
… … um, that’s the worst Even though it’s the worst, it’s more scary because it seems to suit me.
‘Well, that’s done. Ver’s goal was to rebuild the fallen family. If it’s for him, there’s no reason to leave my side. It would be impossible to develop or distribute magic stones alone.’
There is also Ethel, who has a lot of knowledge about chaos. There is no reason for Berg to leave the Revolutionary Army.
‘The reason why Ethel followed me was to observe me, so I don’t have to worry about it.’
After organizing this far, I remembered a fact that I hadn’t been conscious of.
‘There is not a single commoner who cooperated in the original work.’
There was no commoner colleague except Eugene.
‘Although I have a new noble colleague… … This may be difficult.’
In the original work, it is a revolutionary army that started as Eugene’s commoner friend and gradually spread to the aristocracy. However, now that I became the center, the common people were completely excluded except for Eugene.
‘If you think about it, there were quite a few talented guys.’
There were guys who didn’t have magical powers but were strong enough. There was one who overturned the unfavorable war situation several times as the chief of staff of the operation, and there was also an accountant who neatly organized and increased the complicated financial situation of the revolutionary army.
‘… … Accounting?’
Come to think of it, this Revolutionary Army, no, I didn’t have a dedicated accountant.
Katyusha used to write rough receipts, but that was just a household account book. No conclusion can be drawn from a simple database.
‘I need accounting. He’s also a very capable guy… … No, it’s already been decided who to save.’
Among the members of the Revolutionary Army in the original work, there was a son of a talented merchant. An inferior student who was admitted to a knights academy due to his parents’ pressure to increase his personal connections, and later the accountant of the Revolutionary Army.
He was a dull first-year student, Byte, who always carried a small notebook.
‘In the original work, I became close with Eugene after going through various events, but at this point I don’t know how he’s getting along.’
There were many ways to get money, including gun patents, magic stones, and the right to extract money from Ivan, but he wasn’t sure how to use them. Even if I have knowledge of the original work, I don’t have much knowledge about accounting or how to roll money.
‘Even if the strategist is second, it would be better to quickly make an ally accountant.’
That side will be able to gain a great advantage in the upcoming negotiations with Ivan (extortion under the guise of).
‘Come to think of it, there must be something about Borland. After the accountant is recruited, we’ll have a three-way meeting at the Azmash workshop.’
First of all, it is the recruitment of accounting. I concluded that
‘… … ah. The problem of the traitor seems to have gone awry after worrying about it.’
And I belatedly remembered what I was originally thinking.
Even so, at this point, it is impossible to specify who is the traitor. There is no guarantee that Iris’s information is true, and they may become resentful of each other if they force themselves to doubt each other.
‘It would be enough to give Proud and Eugene a little talk.’
Currently, there is no professor who is continuing the exchange. The only professors who had their own presence in the original work were Mustafa and the alchemy professor who helped Ver in small ways.
‘Anyone can do as little as reporting my progress. But to get more detailed information, you’ll have no choice but to get closer to us.’
But I don’t think there will be a professor who has the guts to approach me. At most, is it to the extent of approaching a colleague?
‘Sooner or later I’m going to round up the kids and ask if there’s any professors that stick around badly.’
After cleaning it up, there was a lot of work to do. There are still a few months left, but the Colosseum will come soon. My head hurt a little, so I slumped down on my desk.
“Brother, is there anything I can do to help?”
Katyusha asked in a worried voice as she put down the teacup and refreshments on the table.
“I’ll get it sorted out soon. I can’t even tell you what to do now.”
I answered with a wave of my hand, still on my face.
‘Is it first of all to meet the accountant and bytes before meeting Ivan?’
Back then, when I was sorting through my to-do list, I still had no idea.
The position of a commoner student at a knight academy where Eugene doesn’t stand on his side.
The next day, I asked Proud to give me a list of which classes Byte was taking. I felt sorry for Proud, who seemed to be unable to hold on because of the intention of receiving it, but desperately swallowed the question. Of course I didn’t explain.
‘There is no swordsmanship at all, and the bow is the end of martial arts. The rest is commerce or mathematics in general.’
If you just read the list, it wasn’t the subjects you would think you would take at an academy in a fantasy world. For a commoner who has no magical powers and is not very good at swordsmanship, is this the only class he can take? It wasn’t that different from reality, so I laughed a little bitterly.
‘Is the class closest to the current time commercial?’
I headed for the commercial lecture hall alone. In order not to attract unnecessary attention, he hid himself by wearing the distributed robe appropriately. It was a common outfit for students specializing in magic, so it didn’t attract attention.
‘… … There is none.’
However, Byte was nowhere to be seen in the classroom.
I checked the list again, but it was clear that Byte was listening to this lecture today, and Byte’s name was called at the attendance. But there were no bites in the classroom.
‘Did you play polka dot? I remember him as a fairly diligent student in the original work.’
The Byte of the original work was a man of conviction who said what he had to say despite his rather weak impression. There were no images to polka-dot at all.
‘Maybe I’ll bet crookedly like Eugene.’
I want to decline the appearance of the second Eugene.
It was an accidental class, but the content itself was quite interesting. Although the terminology used in modern times is somewhat different, I managed to understand about half of it.
‘Apart from the content, the professor’s attitude bothers me.’
It bothered me that the professor taught the class without looking at the students as much as possible. Thanks to that, no one noticed that I existed, but it was completely unheard of that there was a professor who taught this kind of class.
‘… … I have a foreboding feeling.’
It felt like there was an indescribable darkness lurking around.
Time passed and after school.
‘I never thought I would have attended all the lectures… … .’
Byte attended all the lectures scheduled for today, but I couldn’t find Byte until the end. Byte did not attend a single class.
‘Did you rest because you were sick? But it didn’t even seem like a cure.’
Not only that, but there was no professor who properly asked what was going on. It was treated as if it never existed.
The only identifiable reaction was that some of the students in the classroom were clearly agitated whenever the bytes came out.
‘I thought it would be enough to just meet up and run some tests, but things are going weird. Would it have been better to ask Eugene in the first place?’
“Poem, poetry, excuse me. I. Hwa, Crown Prince, right?”
While I was in pain, someone called from behind.
When I turned around, there was an extremely simple commoner girl looking up at me, trembling.
