174. The princess of the north enters the school. (7)
Zeke’s eyes twitched as if that was really the best answer.
“I can not say?”
“… … .”
Zeke stayed silent for a while and glared at the saintess.
A bad relationship built over 10 years. That boring time made Zeke think again.
‘… … No, obviously, if this woman had no intention of talking about it, she would have avoided it somehow by using another method. By the way, he said he couldn’t talk.’
Then I suddenly felt strange and asked again.
“Just now, it’s not that I don’t say anything. Did you say you couldn’t talk?”
Then, the saintess weakly nodded as if that was exactly what it was.
Zeke didn’t think she was lying now.
No matter how new you meet in a new world and with a new body, it is a boring relationship.
Just by looking at her eyes, you can tell whether this woman is lying or not.
Zeke looked at her carefully.
The figure of a saintess glaring at Sieg with her mouth shut as if stiff.
Those lips that trembled incessantly.
I felt like I had seen it somewhere.
‘Oh, this. That’s it.’
coercive force.
Although he had escaped almost all coercive forces, he remembered that he had not even been able to speak properly right after possessing.
Even when stabbing Soyi, wasn’t it an intangible force that even he couldn’t overcome?
Zeke nodded.
“I understand your situation. Then, in response to my question, is it possible to nod or shake your head?”
Then, the body of the saintess stood still.
‘This can’t work either… … .’
It seemed like I couldn’t get the right information out of her right now.
In order to hear her story, he would have to escape the force to some extent like he did.
Zeke pondered how he could have freed himself from coercion.
‘It’s okay, after spending some time, I figured it out on its own… … . What has changed between then and now?’
I met a variety of children and built new relationships. And train… … .
However, each of those things feels different to be the cause.
‘Come to think of it, wasn’t there no coercion at all when you grabbed a knife and set yourself up? At that time, I also used the mana stored in my body freely… … .’
When Duke Justia first encountered the Lost Hope guys.
It was quite free-mouthed then.
The corners of Zeke’s mouth, which had been touching his chin, went up.
“… … Also, that’s it.”
The saintess shuddered at the sudden chill that brushed her body.
The experience accumulated over 10 years was ringing the alarm.
‘… … fuck. I don’t think so.’
Whenever that guy smiled like that, a future that was never good for him was waiting.
“yes. That’s it. I’ll make your body able to withstand the harshest blows on the horse. Your conversation with Karen yesterday was very appropriate.”
“Ka-Karen!?”
Suddenly, the name of his maid came out of his mouth.
The stiffness that had been oppressing her was relieved in surprise.
“Um, first. Anything else aside is fine. Let me grant you admission to the Faculty of Knights. That’s what it was originally about. And the necklace… … . Hmm, I’ll return it after I see your performance.”
“No, fuck!”
Zeke didn’t respond to her swear words, but looked at the door behind him.
“Your seniors are waiting at the door, so go and say hello.”
When Zeke shot Mana and pushed the door open, four girls and a boy were pushed against the door with a thud.
They were Serena, Iriel, Soi, Yuri and Rosnante.
* * *
Just now,
As soon as Serena and the children know that Sieg is meeting Princess Ira of the North,
Immediately, I moved my steps and headed for the instructor’s waiting room.
The staff in charge of security finds them and
I tried to ask the purpose of the visit, but I was frightened by the bloody atmosphere, so I kept my mouth shut and allowed entry.
Even if Ramielli had no status barriers, their parents were not without status.
Eventually, we arrived at the instructor’s waiting room.
Students huddled in front of the antique door.
“Are you here?”
Iriel whispered to Serena.
“Oh, right. It was here.”
Serena nodded slightly.
They pressed their ears to the door and concentrated to hear the sounds from inside.
“… … hmm? Can’t you hear anything?”
Even if you focus on mana in your ears, you can hear sounds from other rooms clearly, but no sound can be heard from the instructor’s waiting room where Princess Siegwa Ira is in, as if no one was there.
“Stop, please. I already went somewhere with that northern princess… … .”
“… … for a moment. There is a mana barrier here right now.”
At that time, the kid who always tries his best to hear every sound in the room next to Zeke.
said Yuri Gilbert.
“A mana barrier? how to do that… … .”
“I’ll try to solve it.”
Yuri focused mana into his eyes. Then, a bluish mana wall came into her eyes.
Truly an overwhelming and solid wall that makes me drool every time I see it.
A skill that he himself could not even attempt to imitate.
‘However, I can do at least a very small needle hole.’
Like finding gaps in swordsmanship.
From the day he entered the Joheiden mansion, right up to yesterday. It was the most painstaking work without a day off.
Now she’s a pro at punching holes in mana barriers.
No, she was skillful enough to be called a pro at wiretapping.
After examining the mana barrier several times, an empty laugh came out of Yuri’s mouth.
‘Ha, brother. You’ve changed your spell.’
If you knew this would happen, you wouldn’t question Zeke when a suspicious woman entered his room yesterday. Listening to it, in fact, they only talked about strange training methods, so it could have been skipped over.
I lost my reason when the subject was a woman, and revealed that I could pierce the barrier.
‘Does that mean I’m going to give up?’
Yuri clenched her teeth and went to work.
Exploration to find the weakest part of the mana barrier.
And remember all the weak parts you found, and test the cracks that can penetrate the wall.
Among them, he selects a few that look promising and pushes mana in the form of a thread so thin that it is almost invisible.
It was a job that required very delicate attention because it was not supposed to be caught by Zeke.
Yuri’s hand moved busily.
I completely forgot how much I was concentrating and the people next to me stared blankly at me with their mouths open.
“… … What, did he receive any other training from Zeke… … ?”
“I know… … .”
“OMG… … . This, this, sticky feeling of obsession… … .”
Transparent beads of sweat form on my forehead
By the time the sweat running down my cheeks dripped from the tip of my chin.
Finally.
“… … done!”
Yuri made a loud noise without even realizing it.
at that time.
Koo-ung!
Suddenly, the door was pushed, and all the children near the door collapsed.
Then, looking inside the open door, a girl with dark hair and black eyes was looking down at them with a puzzled face.
They bowed their heads.
for selling out
* * *
In fact, until the saintess came here, she thought she would explain the whole situation.
However, the body stopped with a rattle, saying that it could never allow that.
She felt frustrated inside.
‘I wasn’t completely free… … .’
Unlike before the regression, when formal actions and words were forced like an actor in a play, I thought I would be able to talk to him because I got some freedom now, but it wasn’t.
But fortunately, where did the 10-year jjambab go?
Zeke seemed to have noticed at once what kind of situation he was in.
‘But senior… … ?’
When Zeke winked and pointed at his back, the door burst open.
I could see the children lying face down on the floor.
The saintess’ pupils widened greatly.
So-yi said she saw them yesterday, but her own children whom she met again.
Her footsteps approached unwittingly
One by one, I put their faces as if they were engraved in my eyes.
after she returned
Looking at the notes that were newly written with a completely different story, I tried to intervene at first.
That monsters started appearing in this world.
The northern part became a shield against monsters rather than foreign enemies.
The presence of wizards, etc.
Because the settings and stories that he had not written down at all were changing the world as if they had power on their own.
And the fact that such a power exists means that this world could go down the path of destruction again.
However, it was the moment Serena avoided death that gave up her desire to intervene.
Originally, the year Serena turns 20.
Dies at the beginning of the story.
After being knocked out by the goblin’s club.
I was dragged by my ankles and then I hit my head on a rock on the floor.
The year all four girls except herself in her writing turn 20 years old.
I had to face death.
to keep the world in balance,
It was a condition to prevent the appearance of terrible enemies destroying the world.
Children die on the Dave continent or die in a new world, but in the end it’s the same
He gladly accepted the saintess’ proposal.
This world is a world built on the cornerstone of that sacrifice.
However, only sacrifices could not be forced.
In my life before turning 20, I decided to grant each of my wishes one by one.
For Serena, the love of her family.
For Soyi, the life of an ordinary commoner.
Wealth and glory to Iriel.
For Yuri, a life in which she could not recall her obsession with the sword.
Among them, Serena was the first to die.
But, for some reason Serena doesn’t die. The world still existed without collapsing.
The causal rate also did not change.
At that time, the saintess offered a prayer of thanks to God.
To the world that saved that child.
Because the opportunity to save the lives that he has already given up has come.
They are in front of him, the same as before.
It wasn’t the villain in his novel or the corpse that had already died.
With their lively colors.
Tears that have already dried up.
feelings.
It was filling up.
Tears began to well up in her eyes.
Then turn your head
What caught my eye was a boy with golden hair.
Ross Nante.
He was staring at him with his mouth wide open and quivering eyes.
“… … asshole. young.”
Tears flowed in.
The feeling of losing ten years of weight.
‘Ha, it’s cool inside. fuck. What am I really going to do with a character like this… … . When I think of the fact that I couldn’t even do it because of the coercion. Ha, can I just lose now?’
“Rice, sick… … ?”
Rosnante’s eyes shook in embarrassment at the first swear words he had ever heard.
And the eyes of the women shook as well.
‘How did know!?’
