Episode 38. VIP (1)
live or die That’s the problem.
“It’s a real problem. A problem….”
I feel like my head is going to fall out because I can’t forget what I just saw.
Hamlet exists in this world.
With a high probability, it will be like Hamlet in the original world.
The question is, why the hell is it here?
In writing this novel, I never once drew elements from the real world.
So, if something out of this world like Hamlet came out, it would greatly impair the probability.
Then there is only one answer.
An existence that can undermine the probability of this world.
It’s obviously an element added by the reader who sent me here.
‘But why?’
It came back to the starting point again.
The important thing is why did you add this?
I wonder if he gave me something to read in order to feel nostalgic for the original world?
you’re welcome. It’s impossible for him to give me such detailed consideration.
Maybe it was because I wanted to see my hair tied up like this and worried about a few books, so I threw it as a joke.
‘I do not know.’
I shook my head and stood up.
Even if I thought about what I didn’t know, I couldn’t figure it out.
I’ll have to go back to the original world and ask myself what the hell he was thinking.
After grinding one fist on the face.
“Is it time?”
It was the day I heard the damn first class.
Because I helped Emilia clean, I had to prepare to leave without having time to sleep.
I changed into my uniform and looked around the bedroom once more.
I thought that the dormitory single room’s bedroom was also spacious…
The desk, the full-length mirror, the queen-size bed, the closet… The empty space was limitless, even though everything was in it.
It was definitely a place that Alexia, who likes narrow spaces, would hate it and leave.
It’s me, but I’ll write it down.
Of course, Emilia might scream every time she cleans.
I’m still messing around with a stick, but I’ll have to help clean it up from time to time in order not to get killed by Emilia later.
“Are you going to class?”
“Yes. Don’t ever open the door if anyone comes today. There’s water and food inside, so don’t even go out.”
Since Henderson is dead, I don’t think there will be any great person who can break through the barriers of the Imperial University anymore…
There is nothing in the world where things go as expected.
I had no idea Henderson was coming.
So I told Emilia to be as careful as possible.
“Yeah. Still, there have been people who have been knocking on barriers from the outside since a while ago, but I deliberately didn’t open it.”
“Good job.”
“···········?”
“ah.”
I realized it only after seeing Emilia’s helpless expression.
That my hand was on Emilia’s head.
He was stroking Emilia’s head unconsciously.

Just like I used to do to him…
I coughed and hurriedly removed my hand.
“I’m sorry. I apologize if I was offended.”
“Oh, no. I was just surprised….”
Emilia forced a smile.

Joey this.
If I get into a Hurt Locker’s ear, I’m sure they’ll get mad at me for killing me.
“Then I’ll go.”
“Yes. Take care of yourself.”
I left the mansion behind Emilia, who seems to be bending her back more today.
Come to think of it, someone kept knocking on the barrier.
Let’s take a look at who it is.
As I approached the front door, I saw a man with a deep hood pressed through the grate.
It was difficult to guess the gender, although he seemed to be shorter in stature and height than Schlusus.
“who are you.”
“Schlus Heinkel.”
“Yes. Schlus Heinkel is right. I know who you are.”
I opened the front door and asked with a bit of a vigilant eye.
If you look inside the Imperial University since morning, the probability of being an assassin is rare, but a guy with his face and body wrapped up like this should usually look suspicious.
His voice was vague, so it was difficult to tell if it was a man or a woman.
He was too soft for a man, and a little husky for a woman.
“I can’t tell you that yet. If you follow me, I’ll let you know-“
“Class is coming soon. Come back after class.”
“Come on, it’s just a little bit…”
“I’m busy.”
When I ask who you are, you keep saying what?
I got annoyed and stopped passing the unknown person.
I’ll come back if I’m sorry.
After a long distance from the mansion, I glanced back and saw Hood with his head down as if dead grass.
For some reason, I felt like I had made a big mistake to suddenly feel a chill in my body.
It’s probably because of the feeling.
Is there anything wrong with me?
***
“Hah…”
The corners of Emilia’s lips twitched while fiddling with her bangs.
It was because of Schlus’s touch from a while ago.
She was extremely reluctant to have someone put her hand on her head, but oddly enough, she didn’t feel bad about it.
No, I felt more comfortable.
“why······.”
Emilia’s lips twitched.
She herself knew why.
yesternight. After the night the crow Henderson came in, Emilia had no choice but to look at Schlust differently.
Schluss said. It is the duty of the employer to protect the attendant.
That was wrong.
In the world of nobility, it was a word that could only be established in the relationship between a master and a vassal.
I had never heard of any obligations to protect and sleep between commoners in the relationship. Unless otherwise specified in the contract.
So, it was not difficult for Emilia to notice that it was only an excuse.
Schlusus used to hide his good intentions in that way.
But this was beyond good intentions.
Because Schlus was risking his own life.
“I’m really crazy. I’m crazy….”
All I could say was that I was crazy just thinking about cancer.
How many people can take their own life hostage to save others?
Not for family or lovers, but for people who haven’t seen each other for less than a month.
In that respect, Schlust’s good intentions went beyond humanity and seemed to be madness.
There were only three cases in which such an action could take place.
I changed my mind because I wanted to die.
I was convinced that I would never die like this.
If that’s not the case, maybe I thought I was precious enough to have to sacrifice my life to save it.
“······uh?”
Emilia’s cheeks heated up as she remembered the last possibility.
When I say this, it’s as if Schlus is adoring me, isn’t it?
“Ugh! You must be crazy!”
Emilia immediately covered her face with her hands and lay down on the sofa.
He felt the heat on his face in his hands.
“It can’t be, you idiot!”
There’s no chance Schlus will like me.
Emilia calmed her heart and repeated it to herself.
What reason would Schlusus, who is scheduled for a rapid rise in status, like a commoner like me?
– That’s what love is. no reason It just happened to come one day.
Eric’s words came to mind again, but Emilia shook her head and quickly erased it from her mind.
Still, it wasn’t very realistic.
It was as absurd as the fact that Schlus had come from another world.
“Whoa. Calm down. Mind.”
Emilia jumped up, putting her hand on her still hot face.
Still unaware of the reason why he was agitated more than necessary.
Emilia, who had been wandering around the living room with a pounding heart, suddenly looked out the window and tilted her head.
“What is that person really?”
The man in the hood who had been standing in front of the door before was still standing there.
He was just bowing his head, as if sullen.
A quick scan with good eyesight revealed that he had slick, soft hands.

Judging from that, I was only guessing that it was the son of a precious house.

“When will I be able to hear my thanks?”
“What?”
Let’s say Iris naturally came and sat next to me.
It’s a bit burdensome to keep getting all the attention, but let’s say it’s because we’ve yielded it a hundred times.
But apart from that, why does this woman keep saying strange things to me?
“Thank you, what do you mean?”
“You really don’t know?”
“············”.
I felt like I wanted to squeeze one in and force him not to talk round and round.
Why did I make Iris with this personality?
If I could go back to the past, I would change the way Iris spoke right away.
“If you come out like that, you’ll never hear a thank you.”
“I don’t even try to think of it… Okay. I’ll give you a hint.
Someone is in danger…
oh I just remembered
Iris once warned that my attendant was in danger.
At that time, I didn’t know what that meant, so I spilled it, and I’ve forgotten it until now.
So if you ask me if it helped anything, I don’t think it was.
Last night, even though I was tired, I couldn’t sleep because, strangely, I kept feeling uncomfortable.
Perhaps he was unconsciously recalling Iris’ words and being wary.
“I remembered.”
“Then how about thank you?”
“······Thank you.”
I humbly thanked him.
To be honest, it was a little vague to see that my life was saved this time, but…
Iris didn’t like it at all, so she inflated her cheeks and turned her head slightly.
“If you keep doing this, I may not cooperate.”
“I never asked you to cooperate.”
“Wow! Really? You still don’t believe me?”
I say it like it’s embarrassing, but I can’t help it.
I am well aware of your evil spirit. Can you trust me with peace of mind?
If you’re going to be resentful, blame the person who made your character that way.
oh That’s me.
Cancel what you just said.
“Isn’t it enough to make it believable?”
“Isn’t it enough to save your life?”
“I think we need a little more confidence.”
“Wow. It just means that you should dedicate yourself to me.”
“When did you say that we will be together for a long time? Or is this kind of dedication worthwhile?”
“············”.
Iris looked at me with a dissatisfied expression.
I have nothing to say
As Iris suggests, if we become really close friends in the future, Iris, who knows that, will be able to do anything for me.
If you give it to me for free until you really believe in me, that’s the benefit.
If you hit him on the way, you are admitting to yourself that it was a lie.
Iris was in a dilemma.
“I’ve been dedicated to you, Schlust… I didn’t know you would have this mindset. It’s really great.”
Iris pretended to wipe away her tears.
There was no laughter because it was just an open-ended show of acting.
Did you think you could move my heart with such a cheap acting?

Just when I was thinking, Erica came up to me and made a fuss.
“What, what! Is Iris crying?”
“···········?”
Why did you want the smoke to be sloppy?
It seems that it was Erica who was trying to deceive from the beginning, not me.
Erika glared at me while Iris wrapped around Iris who was crying more loudly.
Iris’s smile was seen with her head slightly raised in Erika’s arms.
I’m going to start a public opinion battle, this is…
it bothers me
“Schlus Heinkel!”
“Why are you calling me?”
“What did you do wrong?”
“No. I ask the other way around. What do you know and question me?”
“I’m sorry, but do you know that the two of you fought?”
“Even if you say the fight was right, why do you think it was my fault?”
“I don’t think it’s your fault. That’s also true… W, quarrels between lovers don’t just start with one party’s fault, right?”
“What?”
“So, first of all, let’s talk and clear up the misunderstanding…”
“No, wait, Erica!”
Unbearable, Iris jumped up and cut off Erika’s words.
Iris’ cheeks were unusually red.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Iris shake like this in the original.
Erika’s pure evil is so scary.
“Why are you talking on the premise that the two of us are lovers?”
“Isn’t it? I just hugged him last time and sucked his fingers, so… huh?!”
Iris immediately covered Erica’s mouth.
Hugging means holding on to me when my magic exhaustion came.
But what does sucking your finger mean?
When I looked at Iris, her eyes were rolling while avoiding my gaze.
this is a bit odd
“Jung-suk.”
At that moment, a soft voice resounded from the podium.
It was Ludwig in a neat outfit today.
“The class is starting soon, so be quiet. And Schlus Heinkel.”
“Yes.”
“I don’t think I’ll have time, so I’ll tell you in advance. The VIP is waiting for you, so I’ll run to meet you as soon as class is over.”
“···········?”
The left crowd began to mumble.
I didn’t know what that meant either.
After thinking about it for a while-
‘ah.’
I seemed to have a glimpse of the identity of the ‘distinguished guest’ that Ludwig was talking about.
First of all, there are not many people that Ludwig calls high even though they are not present.
There’s no way Ludwig would call Alexia a guest of honor.
In addition to that, considering the special incident that took place yesterday, the ‘distinguished guest’ has now been narrowed down to one person.
Come to think of it, that person with a hooded hood standing in front of the front door…
‘crazy. f*cked.’
