“it’s annoying. it’s annoying. Annoyed, annoyed, annoyed.”
Verbute muttered nervously as he chewed his nails.
Both Guardia and Adelian. It seemed like everything would come into my grasp, but it slipped away like slime.
insult. shame.
What dare I do?
“What do you say in the headquarters?”
“Take your hands off right now… Anyway, Verbut-sama’s mission is this academy… … .”
A thumping sound rang out. As a result of the blow to the cheek while wearing the ring, a long red line formed on the cheek of the girl who was serving at Verbut in the academy uniform, and blood began to spurt soon after.
“under. Do you think I’ll be satisfied with just this academy? How many times have I had an opportunity to further my achievements! What was the problem?”
Verbuet, who was gripping the fuzzy hair and gnashing his teeth as if angry, opened his mouth with a frown.
“Besides, what is that girl? Violet?”
I snorted.
When I first heard it, I thought so. Because there was always a copycat of Verbute himself.
No, there were only one or two people who admired and imitated not only Verbut himself but also the best students and professors.
Small belongings, hairstyle, way of speaking or dress worn outside the academy. Even the type of riding clothes and the taste of your favorite jewelry.
And among the severe ones, there had to be those who even copied the traits with effort.
That’s why there were many people like herself who pretended to be more harmless than anyone else and tried to gain goodwill.
‘Most of them were nobles, so I couldn’t overcome my temper and quit right away.’
But this time it’s a little different.
Gentle and sweet, seemingly harmless, like Verbütte himself. junior, classmate, or senior.
This person is so nice and good that it would be okay if I told him everything about me.
It was important that I wasn’t forced to think that way.
“Tell me what you know about her.”
After taking a sip of the cold brewed tea as if to soothe himself, the man standing in the corner of the room bowed his head and opened his mouth.
“Looks like you’ve come to replace the maid of the Guardia who lost trust in the last doppelganger incident. My name is Violet. I am a commoner from a fallen aristocrat who has already served the Kruger family since my grandparents.”
Verbütt listened to the report and at the same time received and began to read the document with the contents organized.
“Hurry up with the sick leave of the lady-in-waiting you originally planned to come. Then you didn’t call me on purpose. You mean the person who accidentally shot me on the subject?”
feel worse
From noble mtl dot com.
Verbite pursed his lips.
Would you rather try it if it was the woman Gadia brought for you? I would have burned my fighting spirit.
Guardia is simply ignoring Verbut himself, but isn’t it a bit boring to dig traps alone?
I’m not going to do it though.
“I’m cuter though.”
Verbut tapped his wavy hair.
Because you are cuter, purer and harmless.
How open are the children of that picky academy to a lady-in-waiting who isn’t even a noble?
“If it doesn’t work out. I’ll take care of the day Guardia sends me out of the academy on errands.”
Verbut rolled his eyes and smiled briskly.

“Ha ha, whoa.”
Sweat drips down the dark skin. Her reddish-gold eyes glowed red like fire.
Like a blazing sunset in the sky.
The blood slowly flowed from the pommel of the sword he grabbed, and then fell to the rock of the gymnasium with a thump.
“If you wield the sword for a long time, your hands will tear.”
“Sir Shahahahad. Here is the potion.”
Shahahahad shook his head and saw how hard he had clenched his hand, which trembled even when he tried to open it.
“Until now, I collapsed before my hands were paralyzed or torn.”
This goddamn body has only shattered my mind, gnawed at my heart, and shattered my will many times over the years.
Shahahahad stretched out his frozen hands and dropped the sword to the floor with a laugh.
The blisters that had been swung countless times broke open, and eventually the skin peeled off, covering his face with his bloody hands and bursting into a scream-like laugh.
“If they contact me to use me, I’ll give them everything.”
The favor must be repaid.
And hate too.
Shahahahad’s face is stained red as he slowly removes his bloody hand. As if erasing the red, something transparent flowed from Shahahahad’s eyes to the tip of his chin.
“If it is going to be used, it must be worth that much.”
Shahahahad’s hand, which refused the potion, shimmered in a pale white light.
The torn and peeling skin began to heal very slowly.
A divinity that is restored at the cost of discomfort and pain like ants crawling.
Shahahahad breathed and thought.
And you have to create a force in order to stamp your resentment.
“Unknowingly, everyone is thinking of Seria as the next emperor.”
Break that structure and aim for the throne.
Shahahahad laughed slowly.

“Innocent.”
＜Innocent?＞
In the first place, since the name of the game is Innocent Sagan, they wouldn’t say anything if they used it.
“uh.”
I am independent of the Kruger family. Adelian, at Payyan’s words about what to name my own power, I said that and shook the Siren.
＜Okay. Now, the underworld of Tateria’s zodiac will be conquered by Innocent’s power within a few months. Don’t worry about the boss and the academy.＞
No matter how much the heads of personnel in key positions were blown, there would be only one or two organizations that dominated the imperial ecliptic, one of the best on the continent.
I don’t really know, but it seems that the fight for the right is quite fierce.
“okay? Are you pretty confident?”
＜Even if it’s not Kane, I received a fairly strong subordinate this time. I found myself to be quite useful than I thought?＞
“You don’t have to use yourself too much as a tool. Anyway, even if you don’t act like that, I’m going to use it in the right place.”
At Payyan’s words, I breathed loosely and said.
It’s good to work too hard, but that type of person should be stopped by force. As I deliberately spoke in a cold, commanding voice, I heard giggling from beyond the sirens.
＜Boss are friendly too. Pamper yourself, please. later. like stuff. Anyway, there are no noticeable results right now. Is it the same with water? Like it doesn’t boil until it’s hot. With a little more effort, I think I can control more people than that child.＞
“okay?”
At Fayan’s words, I smiled leisurely. If you reduce the influence of Berbut, the influence of the Evil Gods will also decrease later, like the butterfly effect.
Even if Verbüth moves simply to enjoy its popularity and interest, the favorable impression that builds up over the years will eventually have sufficient use value later.
Because humans are such animals.
But if I can reduce my psychological dependence on Verbütt even just a little bit by counter-fire with Payyan, then it will come back bigger later.
＜Then, will you make me a token that only Innocent’s executives can know?＞
“Proof? Is the current sentence not enough?”
＜Anyone can take a picture of it if it leaks, right?＞
Well, he is too. I thought for a while as I tapped the desk with my fingertips.
Anyway, I’m going to go see the mermaids in the Namhae Islands soon anyway.
“I’ll make something like a ring later and give it to you.”
＜Oh, a ring?＞
“No bullsh*t.”
＜Sheesh.＞
what is chet I ended the call saying let’s talk at the next report. The name of the faction I created must have come up. We plan to expand the method of distinguishing each other in the future.
Alkaido is still not completely believable. That’s why I didn’t entrust the design of my personal seal or the making of the ring on purpose, so this information is also the same.
‘It’s not me he’s loyal to, it’s the Kruger family that will become even richer because of me.’
In fact, Alcaido also suspects that Kaiman is strange, and he thinks I have Yejian, so he’s cooperating with me.
one in a million With a very slim chance, if someone other than me can definitely make the Kruger family the best, I might turn my back at any time.
‘Well, unless you’re as orthodox as Guardia, you won’t be able to eat the seed because it’s damaged because of lineage issues.’
“Let’s see.”
I have to send it to Hula, I have to send it to Gamur, I have to send it to Reinhardt, and I have to send it to Fayan. I have to send it to Shahahahad, and I can increase it later.
I should make it plentiful. If you do handwork, you’re a mermaid. If you process it magically and make it look like a different pattern normally and then show it in a special way, it will be double security.
“Are you done talking?”
Suddenly, I was lost in thought, and Luna came up to me and talked to me.
When I raised my head, I saw Luna’s pink eyes, holding a comb as if she was trying to brush my hair with a subtle smile.
“What roughly?”
I can’t tell Hula, Gamur, or Reinhard right away because I’ve only released sirens in the capital of Tateria.
At my words, Luna settled behind my back and began to comb my hair slowly.
It seems to have made some sense.
“If we leave the capital soon, we will be busy again for a while, right? Also, walking on a rough journey, meeting monsters and solving problems. In order for us to become stronger, seize the opportunity provided by the young master.”
I slightly lowered my eyes, pulled out a pen and paper from the subspace, wrote down a few things, and answered with a low sound.
“… what is it It’s Luna. Are you having a hard time?”
If I’m holding on to my greed… Now, Luna is neither timid nor weak.
You are free to go anywhere you want and you can challenge whatever you want.
After thinking for a moment, I added a comment.
“If you want… … .”
“young master.”
“huh?”
As if my hair was finished, Luna, who was behind me, moved to the side and sat down.
Those deep pink eyes seemed to fill his field of vision.
“We are fine. Bocchan is always forgotten, but among us, Bocchan is the most important person and at the same time the one we need to protect the most.”
My heart is stabbed by those words.
Well, with my traits, it’s actually no different from Jim. always have to protect them.
“I know.”
When I answered, Luna’s eyebrows went up for some reason.
“… I guess you don’t know.”
“No, I know. So, if we go to Namhae Island this time and pick up our healer properly, we will go to Fairy Lake.”
There’s something there that will increase my speed. With that, it’s goodbye to the bullying of being picked up by someone anymore.
“Then I will come back to the capital. There is something interesting down here.”
When I said this with a single smile, Luna looked blankly and then turned her head slightly and sighed.
Why?
“Then, for now, we are ready to go to Namhae Island, so just tell us whenever you want.”
“uh? okay. For now, rest today.”
As if she had to organize her plans, she shook the paper she was writing on, and Luna smiled and stood up, said hello, and left.
what… I guess I couldn’t read the atmosphere because of the floating feeling.
what?
I feel like she’s swearing at me when she laughs outside.
I couldn’t bear to go out and see, so I scratched my cheek and picked up the quill again.
I have to do something. I started organizing my plans in my head today and the things I heard from Fayan today.
In addition, I also started writing a short diary these days.
‘Before the memory of Suho Kang fades too much.’
Some people may have exceptionally good memories, but thanks to my floating trait, I often had moments when I didn’t think this was real.
In such a situation, what would be the memories of Kang Su-ho?
In fact, I have a rough idea of the contents of novels or original works because I am over-immersed, but the trivial daily life is a little blurry.
Instead of seeing concrete buildings, entertainment programs, work, subways, taxis, or buses that you see every day, you see wooden or stone buildings, street performances, and monsters.
While I often had time to briefly summarize what happened on Earth or my thoughts, I suddenly felt someone’s presence.
In response, I quickly threw the paper and quill into the subspace and opened my mouth.
“Kane, why?”
Kane, who had been looking down at me indifferently to my words, pointed out the door with his finger and opened his mouth.
“An envoy from Princess Seria 1 has come.”
… why not?
