242. Aftermath (2)
‘I’m exhausted…’
While I was gone, a big problem arose.
I already have 3 absences in my major.
Failed due to insufficient attendance.
I tried to request attendance recognition, but-
“I refuse.”
“·······.”
Because the opponent was Ludwig, he ate Pakku right away.
I tried to protest that I was helplessly absent, but to no avail.
Imperial University doesn’t have such a kind relief system.
I had no choice but to use hardline measures.
“As the Regent of the Freya Empire, I command you to acknowledge your attendance, Professor Ludwig.”
“I refuse. If it bothers me, press the chairman to dismiss me.”
“·······.”
Of course, even that didn’t work.
To put pressure on the chairman.
I can’t put pressure on the demon Alexia with mere state power.
In addition, Alexia was unable to contact her because she was out of contact and did not know her whereabouts.
I have been in this state ever since I was attacked by Tilpitz.
‘Yes. Let’s throw away the second semester.’
You think you can take a leave of absence for only one semester.
Anyway, if I tried to take classes from now on, I would get an F, but I just decided to repeat all the classes next year.
If I remain in this world until then, it will be a story.
After giving up the second semester, I felt relieved.
Now, I was able to go anywhere I wanted, regardless of attendance.
So this is an unconditional benefit.
Anyway, yes.
“As soon as you appeared, the kingdom suddenly lowered its tail. It’s funny. Maybe your authority is higher than that of the emperor…”
“It is not so, Your Majesty.”
For several days after returning, I had many things to do, going in and out of the palace.
Every time I came, Aria would sit me down and grumble and make a fuss when I was gone.
Even though the kingdom was nothing more than blackmail and not a real threat, it was said that the desert side was really serious.
The elven tribes, who usually growled and scattered, held several meetings, and suddenly the cavalry began to gather…
Thanks to this, it is said that in the desert frontier, the military was mobilized and a bloody atmosphere just before the war unfolded.
Of course, now it’s a cavalry unit and a Nabal, and it’s said that they all scattered again and went to driftwood.
“Isn’t that so. The people on all continents have seen the light you sent off when you slashed the ancient monster. So I don’t think you’re the son of a god.”
“Son of God?”
“Didn’t you know? There are not a few people outside the Empire who believe that. If you see it in front of your own eyes, you’ll know that I’m such a dull, indecisive, and courageous coward.”
“·······?”
I learned about Aria’s evaluation of me.
But how did you come up with that impression?
I don’t think I’ve ever been dull, indecisive, or lacking in courage.
I was just wondering.
“By the way, why don’t you talk about it? Drink it quickly.”
From noble mtl dot com.
Arya, who was shaking her glass, pushed her glass at me displeasedly.
A glass filled with a bright red drink.
I checked it with ‘Inquiry’, smelled the incense, and took a sip.
[Wine]
[Status: Clean]
[Description: This wine is made by aging the grapes of the imperial palace for three years. Grapes of the highest quality are aged under strict management.]
“These are grapes from 3 years ago. They look like they were made with care.”
“Oh. You seem to know how to drink wine quite a bit. Yes, that’s right. How does it taste?”
A bastard who knows how to drink wine.
It was all just a recitation of what I had seen through ‘inquiry’.
Because I’m a newcomer, I only knew how delicious it was, and I had no way of knowing how much it cost or what kind of grape it was.
“This is a gem.”
But I was able to know such a country as well.
At that time, the wine without the label that Schluss Heinkel gave out in the parallel world was of the highest quality, beyond a gem.
I didn’t know much at the time, but when I came back and compared it, I was finally convinced.
Wine produced by a wine expert with 100,000 years of experience is bound to be delicious.
I miss the taste a little thinking that I will never be able to taste it again.
Of course, I’m not saying I want to go back.
***
‘This bastard…’
While I was gone, there was a brief communication from Hurt Locker.
-There is no way Schluss Heinkel died. I will continue my investigation. More.
Should I say that he is like a child?
Of course, I didn’t want to beat up everything and run and drag it out, but something made me angry.
Looking at what Hurt Locker has done in the middle of the investigation-
‘Ataturk is already on the move?’
Anyway, it seemed like something big was about to happen in the desert.
According to the original story, it happened about a year later, when the Hurt Locker went.
I wondered if Hurtlocker’s stepping into the desert could be the trigger for the incident.
‘I’m going to go to the desert soon.’
Now was the perfect time to go.
Didn’t you show that the other tribes of the elves can reunite by gathering a cavalry unit the other day?
I had to go quickly to make sure that the tip of the spear never pointed at a human.
In addition, he said that in the parallel world, diplomacy with the elves failed and things started to go wrong.
In order not to follow the same train that he walked on, diplomacy with the desert had to succeed.
‘Now it’s right in front of you.’
The Great Forest was attracted to friendly forces, and the kingdom was almost successful, so now all we have to do is solve the desert.
In this way, a pan-human alliance will be born that will stand against Asylum and Majin.
It doesn’t matter if it creaks right now.
After all, when the fight starts in earnest, everyone has no choice but to become sticky.
“You want to go to the desert?”
“·······!”
My body flinched and trembled at the sound of the voice coming from behind.
Before I knew it, Emilia was behind her, hugging me around my neck and whispering in my ear.
“How is that…”
“Everyone knows. My brother has a disease that will kill him if he doesn’t go to noisy places and play games.”
“·······.”
I had nothing to say.
I wasn’t completely wrong.
“Who are you taking with you this time?”
“Okay. It’s the middle of the semester, so I don’t know how many people will follow me. But I can’t take them all with me this time. I’m going to have to get away with it with a small group of people.”
“Huh. Anyway, be careful. Don’t get hurt.”
“You talk as if you’re not going?”
“Huh? Are you taking me?”
“No.”
“Cee…”
“Ouch.”
Emilia bit my neck tightly.
As expected, I couldn’t take Emilia with me.
My fighting power isn’t particularly outstanding, but it’s my biggest weakness that can effectively neutralize me in case I’m taken hostage.
Furthermore, it was a problem that if Emilia was left out, there would be no one to control the system’s intelligence bureau.
I felt reassured that Emilia, who was definitely mine, would hold the reins of her intelligence agency.
And above all, she thought she would take the asshole that Emilia hadn’t seen her face, so she ······.
“I was expecting it. He wouldn’t whine or ask me to take him.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Instead, you’ll be very angry.”
“Then how should I solve this?”
“Well, uh…. Roll your head.”
Emilia grabbed my head and made me lean against the back of her couch.
She then tilted her head and kissed her on the lips.
Because it was upside down, both of us moved awkwardly.
“I want to go on a honeymoon.”
“I’m not even married yet, so what?”
“So, when I get married. I feel sorry for not being able to follow my brother this time, so if I don’t go to the desert, I think I’ll get a fatal disease.”
“What else is that…”
“So when everything is over, when it’s peaceful, let’s go on a honeymoon in the desert. Huh?”
It was a very serious tone.
Is it when everything is over…?
For a moment, Emilia wondered if she was already seeing through everything.
Do you go back to reality after seeing the ending?
Or will she hold her wedding ceremony with Emilia and go on a honeymoon.
It was a matter of choice.
Of course, there was no reason to hesitate.
“Yes. Let’s go.”
“Yes…”
I can’t leave Emilia behind.
I came to that conclusion.
Unless this child dies, there will be no way for me to return to reality.

“I need some ventilation.”
“That’s right… Ugh. Wait a minute. My legs aren’t listening yet…”
When the wet towel was removed, a soft sofa sheet was revealed.
When I was triggered, I thought it was a good idea to quickly bring a towel and lay it down.
“Brother, aren’t you going to Lichtenburg Mansion these days?”
“Uh. I’m busy.”
“Lie. Not even going to school.”
“·······.”
Emilia turned her body over and leaned on me, and she said so.
She said she hadn’t stopped by the Lichtenburg House for the third day.
I haven’t been there since I opened the dimensional rift and returned.
“Is it burdensome to meet you? Is that Yulia?”
“That’s not true… No, it might be right.”
It’s burdensome.
It’s a 2 percent lack of vocabulary.
I don’t know.
After that day, I was reluctant to meet Yulia.
Although it is said to be a parallel world, is it because I showed myself as corrupted as much as possible?
Or is it because of myself that I increasingly recognize Yulia as her beauty?
What she definitely felt after hanging around all day at that time was that Yulia was not only her guy’s appearance, but also her personality.
Before meeting me, I wondered if she was just like that when she was young.
“Aha. I see. It’s scary to meet.”
“What…”
It’s scary to meet.
That expression fit perfectly.
I was hit hard and I was speechless.
“She fears he’ll get better and better. Is that why she’s scared?”
“Please don’t say things that will mislead anyone who hears them.”
Still, the reasoning went wrong at the last minute.
It is true that it is scary to meet.
It is also true that it is difficult to deal with.
That’s because I revealed too much of myself to Yulia.
The only person who knows that I have been possessed in this world and that I am the author of this novel is Yulia.
Because everything was open, I didn’t know how to deal with it.
I don’t know if this is going to make me feel awkward.
Ding-dong······
“Are you a guest?”
“Huh… Oppa stay still. I’ll go.”
At that moment, the bell rang and Emilia staggered away staggering away.
After checking her outside, Emilia turned to me and smiled.
“Who are you?”
“Take a look.”
“No…”
Then he opened the front door on his own accord.
No, I didn’t say let them in.
I went out because I was dumbfounded, and there-
“Hello, Schluss. Long time no see.”
“Yulia…”
Yulia was sitting in her wheelchair and smiling at me.
I was so surprised that I couldn’t speak.
Yulia, who is extremely reluctant to go outside, has come this far.
“I’ve heard rumors that Schluse’s attendant makes tea so well. Can she be treated to a cup?”
“Where do the rumors come from?”
“Where is it? What am I?”
Erika, holding on to the handle of the wheelchair from behind, answered curtly.
It seems that she doesn’t like this situation very much, but it was a pity that she brought a wheelchair all the way here for her brother.
“Emilia. Could you prepare some tea?”
“Yes, yes. I will.”
“Come in. Emilia’s black tea is the best, so you can look forward to it. There’s a chin in the middle, so be careful.”
I realized as soon as I saw that guy’s, no, Yulia’s unchanging gaze.
There was no reason to be difficult to deal with.
From noble mtl dot com.
I just had to treat you the same as before.
“So can you tell me what happened in that parallel world?”
“Didn’t Julia tell you?”
“Uh. Keep your mouth shut. You must be suspicious.”
“Then I won’t tell you either.”
“Hey!”
It felt like she had a companion.
A companion who will constantly reincarnate and remember my secrets even after I die.
