When Oz was spreading Salem’s three supernatural magics and making his presence known to ＜Spellage＞.
“You are late.”
“That is funny. Did we even make an appointment to meet?”
[Pope] Lucia Domine, who escaped ＜Spellage＞, found someone waiting for her.
“But didn’t you come to me after all?”
“Isn’t it a sin just to exist to pass by?”
She was wary, but at the same time took out a pipe from her bosom and smoked it as if the person in front of her was annoyed.
I felt like my stomach was burning.
“good. Um, how would you like me to call you?”
“As convenient as possible.”
“Then let’s talk comfortably.”
Lucia Domine let out a puff of smoke as if sighing.
The opponent Lucia Domine met was the person who attacked the Vatican in the past.
At the same time, an existence that was also called an angel of the beginning in the past.
“Thanatos, what are you here for?”
[KP King]
Thanatos
The two kings, each symbolizing life and death, met again.
* * *
After entrusting control of ＜Spellage＞ to Shuren and the rest of ‘Zanbul’ and taking care of other things that I had to do.
After returning to ＜Skientia＞, the season was entering midwinter.
“… … To be honest, I thought you’d never come back. Why did you come?”
“That’s a sad word again.”
Tia, as always, looked at me with a puzzled expression.
I understand. To be honest, I am a psychopath for choosing to return to ＜Skientia＞ in the current situation.
But what? There are still things to be done.
“Because it was so sudden that I became king, I came here because I wanted to learn something like royal studies.”
“Why are you here?”
“Then, would you like to go through nonsense and learn as if you were being brainwashed under the eyes of old people who are trying to uncover my flaws?”
“Um… … . Whatever it is, it’s definitely bullshit, but when you say it so confidently, it seems like you’ll be persuaded.”
bullshit is right
And I have the ability to explain bullshit plausibly.
After doing everything to live, I became skilled in insignificant skills.
“Yeah, I’m back anyway, right? But what about this? The dormitory where you lived. Did I push you to build a new park?”
“… … what?”
what did you say now?
Did I say that I demolished the dormitory where I lived and attached affection just to create a new park?
“No, there was something like that, so did you think you would come back…?” … .”
Tia scratched her cheek awkwardly and averted her eyes.
“… … It was a place like home.”
Unlike the original Oz, I haven’t lived in this world for very long. At most, about a year.
And I spent more than half of that year in that dormitory.
Those dorms are gone.
“I understand the heart, I understand… … . There’s not much credibility to what you’re saying after you once burned down the dormitory with your own hands. I thought you didn’t care about that in the first place.”
There is a saying, “Jaseungjabak”.
It means that you are bound by what you say or do. And today, I realized the meaning of it desperately.
In the past, it was because of an incident where he blew up a dormitory with [Meteor] while using magic in the front yard to reduce the stack of [Ruler of Mana].
Perhaps because of what I had done in the past, Tia’s struggles with the decision-making process were blown away.
“Well, don’t worry though. I moved all the belongings from your room to send it to you later, right?”
In the direction Tia pointed, I could see my luggage strewn about like garbage.
Anyway, isn’t it too much? You really put it out like garbage.
“… … Yes. That’s good. But then, where do I live?”
It’s a pity that the dormitory disappeared, but it was also a place I had to leave someday.
Still, they said they left my luggage separately, so I guess I’ll have to set up a new home in the new dormitory.
“doesn’t exist.”
“Yeah?”
“No.”
“… … Yes?”
In this vast ＜Skientia＞.
In a place with a large enough tolerant population to be considered almost a territory.
“Are you saying that there is no place for me to stay alone right now?”
“yes.”
He was at risk of becoming homeless.
does this make sense?
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think the words were made up to annoy me.
As if reading my expression, Tia continued as if adding:
“No, do you think? Even so, there were a lot of new students this year. do you know that. Because of that, you and I came here to find a safe place.”
The place Tia pointed out was toward a crack that was slowly growing like a corrode in the sky.
Come to think of it, I’ve grown quite a bit while I wasn’t paying attention. It seems that we are slowly entering the danger phase.
“So there were a lot of transfer students. More than anything else, wouldn’t it be possible to leave the imperial princess in the same space as others?”
Well, in the first place, those in power and dangerous elements like me and Alexios were quarantined in dormitories in advance.
It was only natural that the dormitory would be empty since she would have had to rent an entire large building when she was the princess.
“Still, wasn’t it Schientia whose motto was equality?”
“Who in the world would care about such a pretense?”
“That too.”
It is stated that the status of students is equal within ＜Skientia＞.
But it is only explicit. Anyway, whoever can’t be corrupt in ＜Skientia＞ is the same, so it’s a nameless school rule.
In the first place, as long as he has a head, do you think there will be students who bully nobles for being equal?
They say it’s okay in ＜Skientia＞, but what are they going to do after leaving the school gates?
Unless you want to be hanged, there is no choice but to keep the line between commoners and nobles.
“Would you like to talk to Stasia? Can’t we just live together for a little while?”
“I don’t want to stay with her unless I am sleeping on the street.”
Conversation with Stasia is tiring.
It feels like my mental strength is being cut in real time. But to live in the same building as her?
nonsense.
If I wake up, I don’t know when I might have fangs stuck in my neck.
Besides, it’s not yet time to meet her. It’s a plate that you have to be careful not to run into on the street.
“Unfortunately, it was close to the end of the semester, so graduates and freshmen were mixed. Are you still putting them in a room?”
“How the hell do you get things done? Any thoughts?”
“It’s true, but there are a lot of thorns in the words. Then you really hit me.”
Jeokban Hajang is also an oil fountain. Am I not the victim now?
Of course, being hit by Tia would hurt a lot, so I endured it.
“for a moment… … . I asked Her Highness Stasia to make a request, so why don’t we share a friend’s room?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Then why such an offer?”
Tia answered my question with a rare hesitation.
“… … You have no friends.”
When people say let’s see, isn’t it too harsh?
I replied with a confident look.
“Yes… … It is.”
It seems a little hesitant, but it’s because of my mood. I was just proud
i have a lot of friends Eleanor, Lucia, Marie, Baekyang in Arietta.
How many?
“Do you have friends of the same sex other than the opposite sex?”
“… … I am not one to discriminate against my friends by gender.”
“There is none.”
“there is.”
“who? Give me a name.”
“Discrete Punisher?”
It’s enough to say hello when we meet. To put it bluntly, he is a business friend.
I don’t know if there is such a word, but anyway.
“Is the professor your friend? I said it earlier, but you know that this is the exam period, right?”
“ah… … .”
Basically, visits to the teacher’s office and faculty building are prohibited during the exam period.
The rules are a little stricter because there are students who sometimes want to take advantage of their social status.
“then… … .”
I’m sorry but I can’t help it. I have no choice but to exclude Discre from my friends list.
Then another friend. Yeah, and then I saw that guy.
“… … Alexios?”
Tia put on a puzzled expression as usual at my answer, then pulled out a piece of candy and put it in her mouth as if she were smoking a cigarette.
“Second to the fact that this time it ends in a question mark, the gap between words coming out is a bit long? Be honest. Do you think you’re my only friend?”
How did a nobleman called an educator sell the students’ hearts like this?
The fiery tongue of the fire-breathing lizard brings tears to my eyes.
“no. We are close.”
“… … yes.”
The gap between the answers is particularly irritating.
I don’t believe in any of it, but it seems like it’s because I’m pitiful.
There is no need for such sympathy. Trust instead of sympathy! You did!
“Wander around moderately and come to the dean’s office later. I’ll put a blanket on the floor. If you become homeless in the current weather, will your mouth go back?”
“Why do you assume that I won’t get a room?”
“No, this is not a room, so it might be inconvenient, but the heating is on, right? So don’t be stubborn and take care of yourself when the time comes… … .”
“No need to worry.”
This doesn’t work.
I can’t stay still being treated like a guy with no friends.
Now I have to find a room myself, even for my pride.
“Today, let’s stay overnight at a friend’s dormitory, and I will come to pick it up tomorrow, so please keep it.”
“Yeah, you mean we can take out the bedding here? I’ll clean the floor, so come back by evening? I have to go to work too.”
“… … .”
* * *
my best friend
I went to Alexios’ dormitory.
“Alec… … .”
“go away.”
Today, I am a picky friend.
But he’s probably a good friend. If I explained my situation, would he be willing to rent a room?
“Listen to me.”
“I told you to turn it off.”
A child like this dog?
“… … I have something important to say.”
“Are you talking about Lena?”
“right.”
“Tsk… … . come in.”
It seems that something has gone this way before, but it must be because of my mood.
And at the end of that, I couldn’t get a room and was kicked out.
Aye, it must be because of the mood.
The room that Alexios entered was not much different from before.
no, something different? I do not know.
What is the reason for diligently investigating what the man’s room is like?
“therefore? Is Lena also involved in this spelling?”
“You know it. You don’t look like a civilized person who cares about newspapers and gossip.”
“There’s a chattering guy around, so even if you don’t want to know… … Why are you arguing with someone who is still?”
Alexios kicks me in the head.
It has a smooth trajectory and a powerful energy for something that was blown out of anger.
“Oops.”
It was dangerous. This bastard might have thought of playing a joke, but if he hadn’t used the [Starry Sky Robe] or defensive spells, he might have broken his head.
“Are you careful?”
“If you can’t avoid this, then you have to go back.”
I can’t.
This guy is a stone head who can’t joke at all.
If he provocations any more, his head might really blow off.
“Then let’s get straight to the point.”
I explained what happened in ＜Spelling＞. Of course, I didn’t say anything about regression.
You know that Oz has been repeating regression, but I am not.
Even if I talk about the regression that I have not been able to accurately grasp, the situation will only be twisted.
So, excluding Sajok, he only explained what he wanted.
“… … .”
After hearing the rough outline of the incident, Alexios fell silent for a while. You will have something to think about.
I understand. His younger sister is in such a state, but no matter how inconsiderate they are, there is no reason not to be worried.
Alexios, who had been pondering with his head lowered, finally opened his mouth.
“When you’ve said everything, go away.”
“No, wait.”
Not yet.
This was to be expected. At a point where the flow was similar to the last time, I was able to think of the following.
“Because I have no place to stay because of various circumstances right now?”
Even if the topic is moved to a different story or a useless excuse, I’d rather be honest because I can see that I’ll reach the same conclusion in the end.
“so what.”
“Let me sleep for one night.”
“go away.”
Man, this bastard really pisses people off. Aren’t you even worried about asking people this far?
“Why don’t you tell your friend?”
“Are you my friend too?”
“How are you and I friends?”
“no… … .”
It’s really too much.
Even if it is, it hurts to say it so bluntly.
A strange tension runs between Alexios and me.
Those who want to stay and those who want to kick out.
If they cannot reach an agreement, they have no choice but to fight.
But then.
“uh? What? customer? Shall I just stay in the room?”
“No, it’s an uninvited guest, so there’s no need to do that. I will kick you out now.”
An unexpected person bursts out of the master bedroom of Alexios’ house.
“Cry… … ?”
It’s a comfortable posture as if it’s your own home.
This time I had no choice but to be silent. yeah, i missed it
The identity of the strange sense of incongruity that I felt from the first time I entered the room.
The messy guy’s room seemed more tidy than usual.
I managed to spit out the question that popped into my head.
“Are you guys living together?”
“uh? right? But it’s not like the Prince of Oz thinks… … .”
“under!”
“Huh?”
ok, now i get it
It was clear that there was something troubling, seeing as Ulla spoke in an apologetic way.
The two of them became adults without me knowing.
At this point, it’s understandable that Alexios was anxious to kick me out with that grim expression.
Yes, it must be that age.
I understand… … .
“Isn’t this a total asshole?”
“… … Other people may not know, but you shouldn’t say such things.”
I can still Anyway, I didn’t cross the line.
🤣
Ohoho little bro got some kicks in, eh?
