156. Good night(1)
From noble mtl dot com.
“Why are you coming out so late?”
“·······.”
As soon as I came out, what I saw was Erica with a pouty face.
Erica Leaning against a pillar, tuk-tuk tuk-tuk found me while kicking a stone.
You should straighten up your face.
It’s a waste of a pretty face.
“What’s the matter?”
“Does it have to be called for business? It could just be that there is no reason.”
“It can be. I can ignore it.”
“Ah! Okay! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you!”
As I was about to pass by, Erica grabbed my sleeve.
Who knows you’re as idle as Ji.
Unlike you, who has built up his skills by working hard since he was young, I have to prepare for the next exam using fair cramming and tricks.
I couldn’t waste my time in a useless place.
If I had free time, I’d rather go out with Emilia.
“That… You promised. It will cure my brother’s nightmare.”
“I sure did.”
“Did you tell your mother about that?”
“·······?!”
Why are you saying that, you fool? The word
Rose to the top of my throat and then went in.
From Ms. Lichtenburg’s point of view, there’s no way I’m seeing Yulia well.
“Then he gave permission with a sigh.”
“What? Are you kidding?”
“Does it look like a joke? Of course it’s real. I’m surprised too.”
“·······.”
It was a bit unexpected.
Have recent events lowered Ms. Lichtenburg’s vigilance toward me?
Rather than that, I think it’s because her concern for Yulia has grown so much that she’s so desperate that she has to ask for help from me.
“You’re really dating my mother, aren’t you?”
“Are you still talking about that…”
“No, it’s strange that he does that too! Has he flinched and surprised when I brought up your story to his mother recently?”
“·······.”
Erica asked me with a curious expression, but I just kept her mouth shut.
I didn’t lie.
Because the relationship between Mrs. And I wasn’t like that.
It’s a more obscene relationship.
“Hmm, hmm. Anyway. I’ll call you to the mansion soon. Come and see Yulia.”
“You know what kind of psychological counselor I am. If I call you, I will come to you on the same day.”
“Oh, so what?”
“I will go on a day that is convenient for me.”
“But… Instead, we have to give notice at least three days in advance?”
“I will.”
Although it is only a facade, it is the status of a knight under the emperor’s direct command.
In addition to that, considering that the honor of ending the war in a week by raising the crumbling suppression army is on top of that, my current position is by no means low.
It was necessary to show a suitable posture.
If you say come, you can’t be seen as a bastard who goes when you say come and go.
“By the way. Can’t you just give me a hint?”
“What do you mean?”
“It cures nightmares. How to do it. It’s something you should know roughly. I believe that I won’t do anything strange, but if you need physical contact or something, tell me in advance……”
“Don’t worry. There’s no physical contact. We’re just talking.”
“Well, really? Is that the way to go?”
“It’s hard to explain the details.”
I turned my back on Erica.
That’s all quackery, so there’s no way I can explain the details.
It all happened because of my greed and my lingering feelings.
In fact, it can stop the nightmare right away.
“Thank you! Schluss!”
“What… The nightmare hasn’t been fixed yet.”
“But Schluss, you will definitely do it. So thank you in advance.”
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it. Say thanks again then.”
“Yes…”
After shaking her hand, he hurried away from Erica.
She felt very uncomfortable.
What I have been doing since I came to this world is to deceive the people of this place, but today I feel especially uncomfortable.
‘One time. One last time.’
I swore by rubbing the ring finger of my left hand.
To say goodbye and let go.
I will free Yulia from the fake created by my lingering feelings.

“Haa…”
“Oh, are you here? Give me your clothes and bag.”
As soon as I opened the door, Emilia greeted me with her bright face.
Actually, she wasn’t very tired, but when she entered, pretending to be exhausted, Emilia took off her outer coat and hurriedly brought it to her room.
At the same time, I suddenly felt cowardly.
I myself, taking advantage of Emilia’s special position and receiving favors like this.
“Do you want to eat first? Or take a bath? Or-“
“Hey. That’s it.”
“······Training room? Huh? How far?”
“No.”
These days, my head is so complicated that it seems to go back and forth.
I trudged past Emilia, who tilted her head, and sat down on her couch.
“I just want to rest…”
“Your brother is resting? Are you sick? No fever? Or what happened today?”
“Hey.”
Emilia made a fuss about her and put her hand on my forehead.
People can rest.
I think they thought I was only studying inside because I was stuck in the training room, but a whopping 10% of that time was all break time.
Emilia seemed to know me as a study bug.
“Shall I make some tea? Would you like a drink?”
“No. Drinking that only makes my head hurt.”
“Your brother enjoys drinking black tea.”
“I drink it to stay alert, not because it’s delicious.”
“Huh… That’s right. It’s the first time I’ve heard of that.”
Surely.
Emilia naturally came and sat next to me.
The sofa is so wide, but it fits right next to it.
“Is it really hard to go back to class now?”
“That’s that too… Just. I don’t know. There are mountains of problems, and I don’t know what to do first. I’ve only been solving the immediate problems in front of me, and I’ve come this far, but I don’t know what to do from now on.”
At some point, I was talking hesitatingly.
There was so much to do.
First of all, I had to secure a suitable position, so I intervened in all kinds of events, participated in the civil war, and did all the live shows.
As a result, he became famous in his own way, but in return, he also increased his enemies.
Even the Emperor of the Empire was included among those potential enemies.
There are still several events where people die pik pik even though time is running out.
You have to hold the reins well so that the Hurt Locker doesn’t run wild.
I have to build up some level of liking so that the heroines will agree with me in the future.
Even outside the empire, it was a situation where you had to be careful to seek cooperation from other non-human races.
I was so dizzy.
Now I can’t figure out what to do is the right decision.
“My brother has too many thoughts.”
“I just screamed without thinking about it.”
“No. Oppa, I think about it a lot. I just shouted, but do you think everything worked out by chance? You’re welcome. I subconsciously planned everything and finished the calculations before shouting. So everything went well so far. “
“·······.”
“I think you’re exhausted. Not only your body is tired, but your mind is also tired. So, let’s take a good rest today, oppa. Put away all worries about the future. For today, let’s relax without thinking about anything.”
“How do you do that?”
Empty all your thoughts and rest?
Is that possible without knocking my head off with a stun gun?
“Hmm… Well, like this?”
“·······.”
Emilia sat a little away from her and she grabbed my hair and pulled it all the way.
As I was dragged helplessly, I felt a soft touch near my ear.
It was Emilia’s thigh.
Unlike the infinitely soft Iris’s, it was slightly elastic, and it showed that it had been exercised.
“How are you feeling?”
“Uh… I think I’ll feel more comfortable if I stroke my hair.”
“Huh…”
Sure. Shuk.
Emilia’s small hand slowly brushed my hair.
Her curly hair brushed through her fingers and made a rustling sound.
I couldn’t tell if this was petting or messing around.
But one thing is for sure, I was really comfortable.
“Brother. How would you feel if you couldn’t become number one no matter how hard you struggled?”
“Suddenly?”
“Yes. All of a sudden.”
“Of course it must be difficult. It must be painful.”
“·······.”
“But it won’t always be hard and painful. I don’t know what the ranking is for, but that probably isn’t everything in life. As long as it’s a life that’s satisfying enough, it doesn’t matter if you’re not number one.”
“Hmm… If you’re satisfied enough… That’s right. You don’t have to be the first.”
“But what were you talking about?”
“No. Nothing. It was just something I said. In a general way.”
Well, at least a performance competition in the intelligence service.
I couldn’t figure out what Emilia was talking about at the moment.
“Wouldn’t you like some tea? It’s full of sugar.”
“I’ve never had a drink like that before.”
“That’s delicious too. Rather than drinking it to wake you up, why don’t you enjoy the taste?”
“Please.”
I heard the sound of Emilia, who had put my head down on the sofa, trudging towards her kitchen.
The sound of falling tea leaves and the bubbling sound of water could be heard softly.
It is peaceful.
Suddenly, I had an idea.
Trie said.
I don’t put emotions into my sword.
Killing people without intent to kill.
Is that a reaction?
From a certain moment, when I did nothing and stayed still, the memories of that time kept coming back to me.
I think it would be more accurate to call it a strong image rather than a memory.
Sharp screams, sobs, and red blood kept flickering in my head.
I think that made me want to continue working or studying.
Because of his never resting personality, I was told that he was going to frantically not rest.
From noble mtl dot com.
As long as something occupies my head, such an image never comes to mind.
But this was the first time.
The stimulating images don’t appear even though I’m blankly doing nothing.
“Here’s the colonel.”
“·······.”
I looked up at the grinning Emilia and raised her body.
How much rest?
A complete break after emptying your thoughts.
A peaceful break without screams.
I slowly drank the glass Emilia handed me.
“How is it?”
“Move it…”
This is milk tea.
I tried it for the first time.
It was a drink I had never seen before in my life, but I never thought it would be so sweet and delicious.
“But I feel kind of drowsy…”
Suddenly, I fell asleep.
As she nodded, Emilia hurriedly accepted her glass.
You fall asleep so suddenly?
It was a moment when I wondered if I was that tired.
I thought that if I pinched her thighs myself, she would fall asleep, but her hands wouldn’t listen.
I noticed about this.
This wasn’t just blood.
“Emilia······. What did you put in the tea…”
Damn it.
To make the mistake of not using ‘inquiry’ on drinks.
I just lost my mind.
