Episode 71.
Epinia shouted at Kubu.
“The game is over!”
At the same time, Khbu’s body shone brightly.
The book in Kubu’s hand was delivered to Ephinia.
“It can’t be like this! I can’t do this!”
Kubu started spewing demonic energy.
I drew the exorcist sword.
I wrapped the thread around the blade and hit Kbu’s neck as it was.
However, the thick demonic energy was blocking the sword.
‘no use.’
I shattered the demon with the thread of the exorcism sword.
Magi disintegrated, exposing Kubu’s neck.
And I slit his throat.
‘Until now, I hadn’t been able to use telekinesis.’
There is only one difference between Cassias and me.
I acquired the ability, and Cassias was born.
Even without being conscious of it, Cassias handled telekinesis as if it were her own hand.
And through the previous game, my telekinesis also grew.
The innate sense of Cassias dwelled in me too.
The meticulous control quickly disintegrated the magic.
“Looks like it’s over…”
Unlike Revive, the devil of resurrection, Kubu, the devil of the book, died as soon as his throat was cut.
The game between Ephinia and the devil is over, and the time limit is also over.
she came slowly to me
“Thank you… Suhar…”
***
After everything was sorted out, I found Ephinia.
The time has come to speak frankly with Ephinia.
I won’t be in the book of Kubu obtained by Ephinia.
To be precise, there must be me before the regression.
“Ephinia… have you read the book?”
“Yeah… but… it’s strange.”
that would be weird
Because the me written there is me before the regression.
“Yeah… that’s right.”
“Everything is not written…”
What does that mean?
“What do you mean?”
“It’s only decided to talk about the near future.”
“yes···?”
What is this?
The demon of the book has clearly seen the distant future.
“It couldn’t have been, could it?”
“Besides, the future that has to come to me is also different.”
it must be because of me
“that is···.”
can’t make excuses
Because I was not by Ephinia’s side in the future Ephinia was looking at.
“You are not there. And there’s such a future written on it that I can’t find any clues.”
“…”
“I should have already won the game with Kvu.”
Well, in the original future, Ephinia would have definitely lost the game.
The future has changed because I was there.
“Besides, Suhar, you are gone.”
Epinia repeats what she said.
“That’s it…”
I was worried about how to say that I had returned.
“There is nothing written about you. Like someone who never existed.”
hmm?
that wouldn’t be
It is normal for me to be written before returning.
“Could I take a look at that book…?”
“here.”
Epinia handed me the book.
I took the book and started reading.
The typeface of the book changed and began to show the desired information.
Before returning, the actions I was doing at that time were written down.
“It’s written…?”
“It can’t be… there is nothing like a person you don’t exist.”
When I saw it, it was written.
Why is that?
“Could it be that this looks a little different depending on the person?”
Otherwise, even Ephinia would have seen me before returning.
“Accept that. Then, why is the near future wrong?”
“hmm···.”
I don’t think I need to talk about regression.
“Isn’t it like that? You twisted the original fate?”
“fate···?”
“yes.”
“That sounds interesting. So you’re saying that I was originally destined as written there? If it was originally, you wouldn’t even be able to find a clue.”
From nob le mt l. co m
Not really.
“Then you must have changed my destiny.”
“yes···?”
“You weren’t written in that book. Because you changed my destiny.”
“hahahaha, that must be it.”
Well, that’s definitely true.
Epinia looked at me again.
serious eyes.
“I think I didn’t say it properly because I wasn’t in a good mood. thank you so much. This is the end of the request.”
The request was successful.
There will be no war that will take place because of Ephinia’s death.
War···?
Come to think of it, I wondered what caused the war.
However, if it was Ephinia’s reaction like that, it didn’t seem to have been written there.
“hmm···.”
I came up with a way to use this book.
“Ephinia… can you show me the book again?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
opened the book
I remembered the information I wanted.
‘An organization of noblesse.’
Perhaps because it was too vague, the book was blank.
‘Well… then…’
He remembered Leah, Milia’s exclusive maid.
Then, the future events centered on Leah began to be written in the book.
read one by one
and was able to find
‘It’s a little different, but it’s made clear with this.’
The future where Leah retrieves the Medlock is written.
And Leah gave Medlock to a man named Mareise.
gradually, one by one.
And they found the person who seemed to be the head of the organization.
‘Thales.’
It was written that way in the book.
I tried to find out more about Thales’ future, but no further information came out.
‘Why can’t I see it?’
Still, I was able to pinpoint a few important points.
Organizational bases existed all over the continent.
Even if the future has changed, the base will still exist.
“I saw you.”
I have work to do.
First of all, there was a need to deal with the bases that existed in the Roto Kingdom.
“But it seems strange.”
“yes?”
“yes. I couldn’t get all the information I wanted.”
Why couldn’t I get information about Thales?
In addition, the figures of other organizations were the same.
I couldn’t see their future with certainty.
sparsely written.
Leah’s information was well written, so it seemed like I had to know it myself.
“Now that the request has been completed, we should hand over the reward.”
“I will not decline.”
I also wanted Ephinia to live, but that’s not to say I didn’t receive the reward from the request.
“here.”
Epinia handed me a pouch as a reward.
But the pocket size was a bit small.
“Is it a subspace pouch?”
“huh.”
I opened the subspace pocket.
There was a huge amount of gold coins in it.
Cheokboa also paid more than the original request.
“this···.”
Ephinia cut me off and said.
“It’s extra money. you’ve done so much And take a good look there.”
At Ephinia’s words, I swung the inside of my pocket.
The sound of gold coins colliding.
It was a pleasant sound.
As he continued to stir, he felt a different texture.
Intuitively, I realized that this was what Ephinia was trying to say.
“There are other things besides gold coins.”
I took it out.
And I couldn’t help but be surprised.
It was the same as the one Ephinia had before.
“You have helped me indelibly. That’s why I’m giving you that card.”
Grace plaque.
A plaque in which the imperial family of the empire must directly repay the favor.
It was the best proof plaque that could be used in the empire.
“Come to think of it···.”
I remembered talking about this hand before.
Those words that will be given as a reward for the success of the request.
“It was real.”
“Did you think I was lying?”
I never thought of that, but I didn’t care too much.
“You are my benefactor. I have no intention of ending it with this hand. I intend to help you fully in the future.”
“Even if it’s just words, thank you.”
“It won’t be just words. I will pay you back with all my life.”
I laughed awkwardly at Ephinia’s burdensome eyes.
“It is the best reward than any other reward. I think being Ephinia’s benefactor is enough.”
“Then, are you returning the reward in that pocket?”
“no. That’s not it.”
After a small joke with Ephinia, I went back to the inn.
At the inn I called Patrick.
Patrick was puzzled by the sudden call.
“Hey, why are you looking for me all of a sudden?”
“I have a request.”
“Please?”
“You have that at home.”
“If that’s it…”
Snake wine made with Ancient Snake.
From nob le mt l. co m
Now is the time to move on to the next step.
but i can’t move
Because there are still matches in the Colosseum.
That’s why I want to ask Patrick.
“Snake liquor at home. Could you put in the remaining ingredients for that now?”
“Ah… yes, I understand.”
Patrick graciously accepts.
Thanks for letting me go for an hour.
If you make a mistake, the Sword Saint will strike a warning.
‘Come to think of it… Sword Saint-nim…’
I never came to my father’s funeral.
I was wondering about that
A close friend wouldn’t even come to the funeral.
I should have known that.
‘Well, there’s still plenty of time.’
You can borrow the book from Ephinia later.
“And, while I’m on my way home, I’ll take care of Haru as well.”
I want to keep it by my side, but it’s too big now.
The dissatisfaction of the imperial people was growing.
It would be more free for Har to be there.
“Looking at it, it seems like stress has built up, either because I haven’t been paying attention lately, or because this place is so small.”
“When are you planning to go down this time and come up?”
Leave Haru to Numberwan and the others.
Patrick’s intentions mattered.
because.
‘Because there is toner here.’
Toner and Patrick were sparring every single day.
It was a result of ups and downs, but Patrick was also growing against the genius.
This was an opportunity that would never come again.
“hmm···.”
Patrick worried.
After thinking about it, Patrick said.
“I intend to come up immediately.”
also.
Patrick is also noticing.
The sparring with Toner was of great help to Patrick.
“Because the competition is getting stronger.”
“yes···?”
Patrick with an expression of no understanding.
what kind of reaction is this
Could it be that my thinking is wrong?
“Isn’t it coming up quickly because of the sparring with Toner?”
“Ah… I forgot to tell you.”
What are you forgetting?
“Actually, the Messiah and I…”
uh?
“We developed into lovers.”
I had no idea.
From nob le mt l. co m
No, it wasn’t that I didn’t know at all.
Yes, because I knew what Patrick thought of the Messiah.
However, the heart of the Messiah did not notice at all.
“really?”
“yes. How can you tell a lie to the master with the principle of being a disciple?”
“okay? First of all, congratulations.”
Whatever it was, it was a story worth celebrating.
“Then, are you trying to come back quickly because of the Messiah?”
“yes. We haven’t met yet, but we can’t be far apart.”
“Then, go down after seeing the Messiah…”
Come to think of it, I can’t do that.
Before Messiah was in charge of my handmaid, she was a maid of the imperial family.
The highest honor a maid can have is to serve in the imperial family.
It was unreasonable to leave such a job and go to Patrick.
Besides, she wasn’t married to Patrick.
“no. But how did you meet?”
I was curious about the story of Patrick and the Messiah.
Patrick paused for a moment, then began to speak.
“That’s it…”
Patrick’s story was quite sweet.
Messiah was aware of Patrick’s feelings for him a long time ago.
And after getting attracted to it, it was about accepting Patrick’s confession.
“Then how did you confess?”
“that···.”
Patrick blushes in embarrassment.
“I really like it. I said this.”
It was simple, but it was a statement that revealed his words without adding or subtracting.
In a way, this is a good confession.
“Oh…you are quite courageous.”
And at that moment the door to the room opened.
The Messiah with a blushing face had entered.
“wait a minute!”
It was the first time I had ever seen an expressionless Messiah so shy.
Messiah took Patrick and left the room.
Left alone in the room, I felt somehow lonely.
“I envy you…”
My low murmur echoed throughout the room.
