(EP.221)#1
221 – Discovery #1
It’s funny to say it out loud, but I have a good memory.
If it hadn’t been done, it would have exploded without escaping the minefield with a sad ending.
But.
The human head also has its limits.
Thanks to this, I was slowly rewriting the episodes of the novels I had read over time and writing them down somewhere. In other words, it can be seen as the story and timeline of the original ‘Villain Hunter’.
From small things to big and big episodes that change the world.
To add a bit of exaggeration, it could be called a kind of prophetic book.
Of course, no one could see the scroll, so I hid it in my own private safe. Also, as he left the Angmar Kingdom, he clearly incinerated it and confirmed that it was blown into ashes.
“Tae-oh, let me tell you about the things written here.”
I couldn’t figure out why it was held in Aira’s hand and turned into a plausible hardcover.
Whatever the circumstances, Ira has the stories I burned.

No, the most important thing right now is not how or why. First of all, the most important thing for me to pay attention to is to avoid this position.
「Calmly judge the situation!

Great.
As a calm thought maneuvers, thoughts are evoked as if a cooler is running in my head. First of all, I decided to show off acting skillfully towards Aira.
“Ira-sama, can I read it?”
“okay. However much.”
Ira willingly held out the book to me. Accept it and turn the page, and you will see that familiar fonts and familiar content are written on each page.
I’ll admit it.
This is my prophecy.
Ira said.
“If you want to burn the records, it is better to incinerate them at a slightly higher temperature. There is no will in handwriting. Especially if it is a record with important content. It is not difficult to restore it.”
“It seems that you already know that I wrote this record and burned it.”
“I am the queen. You have the right and the duty to know every single stone in the small town of Angmar. There’s no way I couldn’t have known about your mysterious treasure house, Tae-oh, right?”
That’s right.
Aira seemed to know about the warehouse I had hidden in the basement.
How the hell did you find out? Maybe when Aira came to my house to play? Other than that, there is nothing to point out.
I decided to quietly nod my head.
“This is my record. The packaging is a little more flashy, though.”
“… Five.”
Ira opened her lips roundly.
“I didn’t know you would admit it so soon.”
“Who would I dare lie in front of? So, what exactly is Aira-sama asking me about this record?”
“… … .”
Ira tilted her head to one side, probably not expecting me to go out proudly.
The hair flowing down the shoulder is like a black waterfall.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, even in the midst of this, I’m sarcastic about my appearance. Maybe it’s because of the job that Aira possesses, “Slime Man”. It is indeed a strong job effect.
Shrek.
Aira, who took the book from me, pointed to a page with her neat fingertips.
“Then, Tae-oh. What is the ‘May Revolution’ written here?”
May Revolution.
I’m also asking about it.
I calmly explained Ira’s feelings in a line that did not offend.
“That is a revolution that should have happened in May. or was not successful in suppressing it initially. If the suppression itself had not been carried out, the angry public would have flooded the palace of Monarch City.”
“It’s a revolution. That’s a bad sound.”
“But it failed, so it must be a rebellion.”
“Ugh… , as a result I would have died hanging on one small string? According to what is written here, isn’t it?”
“… That is true, but it is a useless record because it is already out of date.”
“Yeah, it could be. But I mean. Even though you had such important foresight, why did you keep it a secret from me?”
“Yeah… .”
Man, if you tell the truth, I don’t know how you would go wild at the time.
Also, by revealing the future, the incident itself is beyond my control, and I do not know what kind of result it will bring, the worst of the worst.
“But Tae-oh. As you may well know, not telling your queen about these conspiracies and events is a lie.”
It will come out like this
“And what if the writing of such an important thing fell into the hands of someone other than me, the old royalists who dreamed of overthrowing the royal family?”
“As a result, didn’t that happen?”
“okay. But again, there’s no way this won’t happen again. If someone like you falls for someone who is a threat to the royal family, it will be a great misfortune for me and the world.”
I thought I knew what Aira wanted to say.
“So, are you saying that you rejected my retirement for those reasons?”
“I mean, yes. Tae-oh, didn’t you tell me about the Belmort rebellion? It is better to keep a close eye on dangerous things.”
Totally self-defeating.
That was correct.
From Aira’s point of view, making a variable person like me quit is an act that carries a great risk. The foolish queen would figure it out and try to pierce my core.
Was the minefield not over yet?
Or, is this the tragic karma that was manifested upon awakening as a demon king?
Yes, there is a possibility.
It seems that fate is endlessly trying to refine me. Even heated iron would break if it was hammered this much.
But.
What I can say is a kind of boldness within me, who has gone through many hardships and trials so far. Something worthy of being called a matchmaker’s temperament was pulsating greatly.
this crisis. He is pointing out that this desperate moment right now is the perfect moment to break through the problem head-on.
“Then, at least give me a month’s leave.”
“vacation?”
“That’s right. After the summer festival is over, I heard that Ark is doing something called a vacation. During that vacation, I would like to take a month off.”
“Ugh… .”
slur.
Ira folded her arms with her slender eyes open. It’s an attitude to say more. After all, I decided to reveal my aspirations like a man.
“To be honest. Without me, Ira-sama would have been in great trouble. The same is true of the coma that happened this time.”
“… … .”
“So, shouldn’t I have something to call a reward worthy of it?”
Ira opened her mouth like a cat that ate ice cream. He looked as if he was surprised that he hadn’t expected that I would say such a thing.
“Tae-oh, this is the first time you ask me for compensation. I thought you were like a tree with no greed.”
“So, what do you think of Queen Aira?”
“Ugh… .”
Ira let out a long nose.
Shh.
Ira finally reached out a slender hand to me instead of answering. Long white fingers. It is for one reason that the hand is extended, which is very well suited to the term Seomseomoksu.
I kissed her fingertips.
This concludes the contract.
For now, I’ll be able to be content with stopping Aira’s interrogation and somehow calming the situation. I also got vacation.
It wasn’t a bad stage.
Diling-.
Then I saw letters floating in front of my eyes.
“Acting that deceives even oneself
Occupation: The actor’s level rises.
Actor Lv. 9 → Lv. 10
The distinction between truth and lies is meaningless.”
「Your job level has reached its limit and you will receive a privilege.」
「Talent 《Charisma》: Exercising power to overwhelm the opponent. The greater the difference with the opponent, the greater the effect.”
Did the actor’s level rise?
It was a good thing.
I also have a new talent.
“Tae-oh.”
“Yes, Ira-sama. Do you have more to say?”
It was time to check her mood because I wanted to talk about something else.
“Aren’t you going to ask me? For example, the monster within me.”
indeed.
I answered lightly.
“I mean, if I ask, are you telling the truth? And, there are many parts of the dream that I don’t really remember anymore.”
“Ugh. oblivion. It is one of the blessings of human beings. It is better to forget if possible.”
I wanted to do that too. What I saw at that time was quite intense, but rather, it feels like it gets clearer as time goes by. But he didn’t express it like that. Because it can lead to some misunderstanding.
tuk tuk.
Aira pats me on the back.
“Then, let’s get back to it soon. I feel like I want to stay here forever. There will be people looking for me.”
We climbed on our way back.
“Tae-oh, let’s keep the story we talked about today as a secret between us.”
“All right.”
* * *
-It was a wonderful stage. Did you see Queen Aira suddenly turn into a swarm of butterflies and fly away? It’s the first time I’ve seen such magic.
– The new song by the nymph choir was good too. This year’s festival is due to the presence of royalty, but it looks like they put more money into it-!
– It seems that the Belhawk company has poured a lot of money into it.
When I returned to the stadium, I saw three or three people with satisfied faces leaving the audience.
They’ll stop by the shops that start to open at night, drink lots of drinks and laughter, and get very drunk.
“Hey, Ira. I was worried because he suddenly disappeared.”
At that moment, someone approached us among the passing spectators. Seeing her golden hair glisten in the moonlight, she immediately understands who she is.
“What is it, Tae-oh is there too. Did you finally wake up?”
“It’s been a while, Miss Elgar.”
“Heh, it’s been a while, okay. Rather, you are Do you know how embarrassed I was to suddenly stand on stage and disappear leaving behind a swarm of butterflies?”
Elgar explained what happened after me and Aira left the stadium. Towards the end of the event, Aira disappeared, scattering petals and butterflies in the air.
Aira, who heard the story, drooled slightly, then nodded her head.
“It seems that the maximum duration of the clone is about an hour. We need to improve it a little more.”
After all, Ai, who was on stage, was an alter ego magic.
“Anyway, let’s enjoy the festival now. Because Mirna has rented an entire seat on the hill. It would be great to have a drink there.”
We also left the auditorium with people.
On the hill located near the Platinum Dormitory, where the large spruce tree sways in the wind, you can see torches and large campfires blazing.
“Is everyone late?”
Mirna blamed us for being late.
But just like any festival, we decided to spend our own leisurely time together eating meat, alcohol, fruit, and snacks.
Because the night is starting to deepen from now on.
