145. Preparing for the Festival
“Is that enough?”
A dessert shop outside the academy, downtown. When I ask about Finden Ai, who is eating with her hand, saying that she is going crazy while using a fork, she replies calmly.
“Isn’t it worse than I thought?”
Findanei has many talents.

Not to mention battle, leadership ability to lead people, charisma to control the revolutionary army.
Also, her beastly senses were something that could only be acquired through talent.
But personally, I wondered if my greatest talent was to get on my nerves.
“Do you know how many cakes you have stuffed into your mouth?”
“I don’t know.”
“Look at the plate next to you.”
Dishes piled high.
As I gazed at Finden Ai, questioning a scene that could only be seen at an old conveyor belt sushi restaurant, she put the remaining chocolate cake in her mouth and replied.
“Sweeup, I think grilling meat suits me better.”
“Whoa, yes. It’s my fault for wanting common sense from wolves.”
She let out a sigh and stood up from her seat. Finden Ai followed suit, hissing for some reason.
After paying an amount that cannot be seen as a meal, she packs a cake to take out and goes outside.
She turns her words the other way because she doesn’t want to be swept away by her.
“To be honest, I was surprised. I didn’t expect you to want something like dessert.”
“Huh? You really didn’t want to eat much?”
Stand tall.
My steps stop and I look at Finden Eye, and she also stares at me.
I’ve been in a lot of pain lately because I was told to leave to be alone in the Great Forest of Marias. I told you to tell me what you want to make me feel better. Dessert was my request.
Actually, you didn’t want to eat?
Do you know how much was broken? If Deia knew, she would have thrown anything she could get her hands right near her and called her crazy.
“I was just thinking of something the most efficient way I could rob the owner’s wallet.”
“… ….”
“Yeah, the owner still writes that much for me. It’s impressive? What can I do for you?”
Finden Ai came and poked her side with her elbow.
Yes, she was originally like this.

No, she’s just a beast.
“Yes, please.”
“Oh? What? Have you accumulated Can you cool it down?”
“Close your mouth.”
When I said, biting her teeth, Finden Ai immediately closed her mouth, pretending to zip her up.
She calmed down a bit like that, which put her mind at ease.
On the way, she stops at the hotel where Illuania is staying. After she hands her a dessert, she goes right back to her lab.
“Wow! Thank you!”
“Hey, this is a very expensive place, isn’t it?”
[…] … It must be delicious.]
After she distributes them to Owen and Professor Fer, she picks up the remaining package.
“What, where are you going?”
“There is someone to give. And she would have told me not to open her mouth.”
“Shipper, you’re so damn good.”
“… ….”
“Oh yes! Sorry! Should I put a gag on her mouth? I hear you like it.”
Leaving behind Findenai’s question, I stepped out of the lab. The place I headed was Erica’s lab.
Of course I didn’t come here when nothing happened, and I had something else to ask.
After knocking and going inside, Erica’s shoulder, who was watching her work, lifted slightly.
I cleared my throat for no reason and noticed the assistants around me, and they threw away what they were doing and immediately went outside.
“Excuse me.”
“Have a good time.”
“If you call, I will come back.”
There was a strange consideration in the way he said each word as he left, but he didn’t pay attention.
“Hmm, what’s going on?”
Erika pretends not to hear what the teaching assistants are saying and asks questions indifferently.
I hold out a small box of cakes and put them on her desk.
“It was okay, so I brought it.”
“Oh, to me?”
“…… Then who else is here besides you?”
Erika is perplexed as if she didn’t expect me to bring something like this. But soon after, he smiles and accepts it.
“Thank you.”
Sudden silence.
There is no need to waste time, so I go straight to the point.
“I heard that you have a quarrel with the Bright family.”
“…… Ugh, uhm.”
Did I go too far into the center? Erica scratched her cheek awkwardly and nodded her head.
“When I said I would not marry Gideon, I was kicked out right away. But it’s okay, aren’t you old enough to be self-reliant?”
Erika shrugged her shoulders and replied that it was nothing. In fact, she was now living a confident and leading life unlike before.
The Erica Bright I knew.
Her shoulders were straightened, and her eyes full of self-confidence were truly beautiful.
“Yes, but as the Geronia family collapsed this time, the position of the family must have changed as well.”
“… ….”
The financial damage was severe due to the memorial and donations caused by the massacre of Setima residents.
I heard that before I arrived, the privates of the Geronia family were already on the verge of being annihilated, and Gideon Geronia was hospitalized with an injury.
“That’s right. And the family is trying to catch me. A letter came a few days ago.”
Erika opens the drawer and pulls out a letter. It was stamped with the Bright family crest.
“But it wasn’t because they really needed me.”
She was originally intended to be used for political purposes. She didn’t express gratitude for preventing the irreparable mistake of marrying into the Geronia family.
“Because I am engaged to you. To be precise, it’s because I need you.”
My position as a memorial service has become more solid through this war. In a word, the Bright family wanted to hold onto the line of a memorial service.
“Yes.”
Of course I expected it, so I answered calmly.
“Take your time, let’s go together.”
“…… Uh?”
Erika asked back with an expression that she did not understand what he meant. I dare say it one more time for her.
“Let’s go to the Bright family together. I need them too.”
“Oh, no. Wait for a sec. Uh? Really?”
“If you just go, you will be suspicious. Don’t wrap it up like a meeting. I will also call Darius separately.”
Erica’s hands can’t stay still in her embarrassment as her cold expression collapses.
“Well then, what should I do with the divorce letter?”
She asked her carefully.
“I’m sorry, but I have to put it on hold for a while. However, you can give it to me anytime after you leave.”
“…… Ah.”
Erika’s expression is getting colder. She said calmly, pretending not to read her bitter face.
“Please.”
“Yeah, okay. I hate going to my parents’ house, but I want to see those nobles crawling in front of you.”
I just said hello and left the lab. Although I felt sorry for Erica, who was downcast.
‘I don’t want to tie her down until her life this time.’
When she heard from Aria, she heard that I married Erica in the first playthrough.
From nob le mt l dot com
Not because I love her, but simply because I needed Erica. He took care of me when I was sick and even married him.
I can do something for you this time.
Of course, I wasn’t simply acting for Erica.
‘Dante’s movements are unusual.’
They are starting the case earlier than expected. In the original game, the name Dante didn’t even come out in the current time period.
Because of my existence, I am active and active, so I also thought to prepare for it as much as possible.
‘It’s a headache.’
There was only one reason why Dante gave me headaches.
Because their final plan is really the way to save the continent.
In fact, the first aria killed Dante’s leader and couldn’t prevent the boundary between life and death on the continent from collapsing.
‘We need a way to replace their plans.’
Until I found it, I had no choice but to leave Dante as a variable mass.
Thinking that way, I went back to the lab, and unlike when I left, it was quite noisy.
Findeneye and Professor Fer were holding a piece of paper that appeared to be an announcement and talking hard about something, and Owen also stood in the middle, appealing his opinion.
A little unexpected sight.
As soon as I come, the eyes of the three people come straight to me and rush at me.
“uuu!”
“… ….”
The first one to run was the Finden kid, she really did ask where she got the gag from and she drooled in her mouth and she started explaining something to me.
“Haa, release it.”
“Puha! Master! Look at this! They say the academy is having a festival?”
“De, Professor Deius. They say you can display one stall or achievements per lab!”
“Comforter! How about a concert or something?”
Three people each shooting what they want to say. I stretched out my hand and snatched the notice held by Finden Eye and checked it.
A piece of paper that says ‘Lobern Summer Festival’ written on it. The end of summer now.
Coming to think of it, there was a festival period in the game, and I remember that I could get various events, stats, or items at each time.
“Hmm.”
From nob le mt l dot com
Notice that each professor’s laboratory must submit works related to achievements or set up a newsstand. It wasn’t a very interesting event because I didn’t even want to raise Arya as her hero anymore, but everyone seemed a little different.
“How about a dueling arena? Let’s all go in one place and fight George!”
Findenai talking nonsense.
“It’s my chance to show off my research! Just in time, the prosthetic arm came out really amazing, right? If you poke it, it’s poo poo poo! Blood comes out too!”
Professor Per Petra wants to turn the students’ festival into a gore scene.
“Can we not play?”
Even Owen, who is secretly greedy for the stage.
Hearing that, I sighed and answered.
“Do it yourself.”
I didn’t have time to worry about that.
Poor Erica. Dang Deius is ruthless 🤣
