241 – 70-2. On a dark night without you.
The rose is a colorful flower.
Due to its splendid colors, people tend to assign meanings to various colors.
For example, Fine’s favorite blue rose was originally a flower that meant impossible.
Now it has turned into a flower that means miracles.
‘If it’s a black rose…. No way.’
But, what I see right now is a jet-black rose.
Death, resentment, hatred.. Or.
A flower more famous for its flower language of ‘You are forever mine’ Appeared on the status window.
There is only one person that this means.
Pinegrancia is believed to be a demon.
I couldn’t find the gray hair and golden eyes.
A black haired woman with red eyes as if she were shedding bloody tears.
“This is something strange—.”
An ominous feeling sprouted in my body.
I immediately realized the incident and tried to inform the gods of this fact.
Clang-!!
With the sound of breaking glass, a rose vine came out of the status window.
“The succession system..?!”
Soon, the vines that stretched out as if they were going to devour me began to intertwine.
A rose vine transformed into the shape of several hands and arms. The grotesque thing grabbed my limbs and exerted its strength.
Even if you try to pull out the sword, your mouth is blocked and your arms are restrained.
“The balance of Phantasia is under attack. Who the hell…!”
“..This is Fine Grancia from another world line. Damn, I didn’t know you’d invade this far.”
Looking at the scene, Akasha, the god of intellect, spoke with her terrified expression.
Once upon a time, in her library of truth, we got a glimpse of her writings.
A notepad covered in blood.
Originally, it was something I kept in the academy’s dormitory.
What on earth did I in the other world line do? Is Fine with black hair doing this?
“You broke through my barrier before and came into my dream…”
Tardun drew his weapon and tried to cut the vine that was holding me back.
It was not enough.
The figure called the god of swordsmanship is helpless.
“Licht.”
A voice came from the vine hand that was gradually tightening my arms and mouth.
Like a child rewinding a broken tape.
“Richrichtricht.”
A three-letter name repeated over and over again.
Should I say a slightly crying voice? If not, should I call it an empty voice?

Somewhere in Fine’s voice was a hint of sadness.
It was only after I subdued even the four gods who were struggling to free me from being captured.
“…I won’t miss it anymore.”
Her voice began to be heard clearly.
An unforgettable voice.
A slightly high voice and a cute laughing sound.
‘As expected, Fine is right.’
No matter how much I try to deny it, the owner of that voice is the fine I know.
“Did he share his power with the demonic sword Horizon..!”
“That’s why I was able to invade this space..”
A demonic sword that I couldn’t find no matter how much I searched.
The four gods were shouting that they stole it in advance.
I am struggling to get out of the rose vine.
“I will fix the succession system. I don’t know if only Lee Soo-hyun can escape.”
Fan Toze made a hand out of sand and began to glue her status window together.
“I shouldn’t be late…!”
In the meantime, the rose vine that was tying me up was gradually pulling me through the gap where it came out.
It looks the same as when the demon king of power uses his authority.
“Lee Suhyun-nim, it’s good to throw away the thoughts of ‘Can we win?’ Like Magic Hat.”
“…….”
I was able to see through my thoughts.
Even if it’s a different world line, you might be able to help me like a nameless saintess.
“It hasn’t been long since Blanc became a demon, but….”
But why?
“That person has been a demon for 10 years.”
As soon as Pantos spoke, a rose flower with a wide open mouth appeared under the scale.
A toothy flower that drools as if it were going to eat everyone.
“Did you see it? Therefore. Her If you meet her… Pray for her life.”
It was Pantoze who continued to talk to me by looking at her own feet.
At the very least, if I begged for my life, the one I love, he might be able to spare it.
“The best thing is.. But never meet! Mr. Lee Soo-hyun.”
In the first place, they said there was not much they could do for them because they were on the same level as the higher gods.
Eventually, Pan Toz repaired all of his status windows.
“Licht. Licht. Licht. Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?”
Then, an anxious voice leaked out from within the black space.
As I tried to escape with the succession system, more hands came out and tried to grab my whole body.
“Lee Soo-hyun has tried the grand route countless times.”
Took, Pantoze pressed the status window that said [Do you want to start again?].
“25 Attempts. And the 24th failure.”
The body will eventually glow in golden yellow.
I opened my eyes wide as I watched my body disappear like a mirage.
“Now, I really don’t know if I can achieve a grand route.”
“…I can’t believe that.”
This is not the first time. Did I die while subjugating Magic Hat?
“All the routes you have built so far will help you.”
“No, no.. No!!”
I can see red eyes that seem to shed bloody tears in the distance.
Perhaps he noticed that he had missed me, and immediately began to hear Black Fine’s screams.
“…I hope you see a happy ending this time. Mr. Lee Soo-hyun.”
An encouraging smile.
Pantoz said that it is possible to achieve the unfinished grand route again.
***
Shoot aaa—.
A cool rainy sky.
A familiar sign could be seen on a dark night.
“Grand Hearts Academia..”
The place that was burnt down in the battle with Magic Hat and no trace was found has been restored again.
The fact that this building remains intact means that it was able to return using the succession system.
“It’s not a dream… it’s not.”
I can’t believe that my body died a while ago.
I confirmed that I was alive by squeezing and opening my hands and pulling my cheeks.
‘I’m back again. I’m back….’
Suddenly, I saw students leaving the academy.
Oh. Something is strange.
I thought she was back before she subdued the demon, Magic Hat.
‘Why is the color of the clothes black instead of white?’
The outfits of Grand Hearts Academia were the exact opposite.
Where did the pure white outerwear and black tie go? It looks as if the colors have been reversed.
“Hey, over there. Let me ask you something.”
I started running towards the college students exiting the building.
“By any chance, what year is it on the imperial calendar?”
I asked a question with a hopeless heart.
Considering that the academy is in good shape, the world line I was in should be right.
“Isn’t it the 28th year of the Imperial calendar? Hey, look at the cold sweat.. Are you okay?”
“……”
Ten years have passed since I knew it.
‘How did this happen…?’
Obviously the succession system worked well.
I thought we were going back to the time before we defeated Magic Hat.
“Ah, aren’t you a hero from another world?”
Seeing that I couldn’t grasp the situation, another student next to me opened his mouth.
Looks like he doesn’t even know me.
“Ah.. No way. The Empress is here. Will a hero from another world come to the academy again?”
The Empress? Obviously, the right of succession to the throne of the Grancia Empire belongs to Fine.
Did I come to the distant future because I was disturbed by the black rose?
“Ugh, I hope the damn rain will stop now.”
“It can’t be helped. It’s been this weather ever since the person the Empress loved died.”
They were deflecting the pouring rain with mana.
Maybe they thought I was dead, so they kept looking for me even after Fine was crowned empress.
“What if that loved one…?”
I thought I should meet her soon, so I asked her juniors with her heart full of hope.
“I’m Licht the Black Knight. There is also a statue over there. Didn’t you see?”
“…Yes?”
They were giving me answers that were out of line.
A statue that appears when you move your gaze to the place you are pointing with your finger.
‘Black Knight Licht. Sleep here.’
Under the statue of the knight wearing a helmet, it was written as Licht, not my real name, Lee Soo-hyun.
It’s hard to say that Fine didn’t write her real name because she didn’t want others to know about it.
‘… She was killed while trying to protect her princess from the omniscient demon king Head.’
It was written in detail about the reason why he died because his heart was pierced by the demon king’s attack.
I could have survived after receiving a dragon heart transplant from Fine.
If only.
Really, what if I hadn’t gotten a heart transplant in time?
‘……’
It’s like seeing something a little out of the world I knew.
“Wait, is that person incapable of mana management? Why are you getting wet in the rain?”
Seeing me startled in front of her own tombstone made me feel strange.
“…Who is this? I’ll pass by for a moment. Students!”
“President Nex, do you know this person..?”
Just before they contacted me somewhere, a man with purple hair approached me.
“If you are coming, you should contact me saying you are coming.”
A man called the chairman by students.
He looked at me and smiled like a fox. It was Nex Aureus.
“Nex..?”
NEX has become the director of the academy.
Even though I saw his face a little while ago, I almost didn’t recognize him because of the 10 years that had passed.
I tried to say hello out of joy.
‘Shh, because I’ve cast a soundproofing spell and a cognitive blocker spell. Act like nothing’s wrong.’
He was the one who whispered in my ear right away. Like a person who is wary of being chased by someone.
‘Nex senior. Why should I do that…?’
It was the two of us who gradually moved inside the academy.
The most strongly protected place in the academy.
It wasn’t until he reached the deepest hallway where the president’s office was that he let out a long sigh of relief.
“Because the princess went crazy when she became a demon.”
Nex began to tell me horror facts.
“…… I don’t know what will happen if my junior catches the princess’s attention now.”
