(EP.368)Rip #2
368 – Unwrapped Paper #2
Mirna manipulated the crystal in her hand to and fro.
Then, the images being projected on the wall were distorted, and finally the scene I remember was shown.
The scene where I approach Aira and pick up the coffin from her head. And even shouting at people with their mouth wide open.
Yep, that’s all I remember. What I saw behind me was as it was, leaning forward.
As if the roots of an old tree are rotting and slowly falling to the floor, I smashed my face into the wide arena. Somehow, my forehead hurts.
I said, opening my stiff neck.
“… It doesn’t look like a winner at all.”
“But rules are rules. Sir Tae-oh won the crown from the queen. That’s victory. But what is important is this next.”
The projected image began to shake rapidly. Seeing the shaking as if there was an earthquake, Mirna explained, “The person who filmed this video correction was an apprentice witch.”
Because I am not a professional photographer, the quality or condition of the video is not good. Since it was a video editing before commercialization, it was not possible to capture the sound.
It was like watching an old silent movie.
But in the scenes I see next, it’s probably better.
What I see is people who have bizarre twists and seizures. Not only that, but they finally stripped their skins and ran to and fro with a terrifying gossip.
Thanks to this, the stadium of Bimuje quickly turned into a chaos.
Sharp noises replayed in my mind as to how many people would have run away screaming even though there was no sound.
“… How did this happen?”
“It’s called the Shadow Army. Sir Tae-oh, your subordinate Professor Balaan said so, so I’m sure it’s true. The demon king’s forces were mixed among the crowd in the arena.”
I wondered why the demon king’s army was– I remembered one fact. Solomon’s tenacity to aim for the future from the past. maybe that worked
“However, fortunately or unfortunately, Queen Aira quickly settled the situation. I led the participants who did not lose their mind and repulsed the army of monsters.”
“It is.”
“Thanks to this, casualties have been reduced to a minimum. But the people’s seething anger did not end there. Maybe the Queen knew this was going to happen.”
In Mirna’s red ruby-colored eyes, the figure of Aira, who was giving a speech with her mouth wide open to the people, was reflected.
Ira inspires people.
As a result, it must have been that people were able to gather the will of the North to cross the barrier. Perhaps, “You can’t just suffer like this. We must retaliate too!” He must have said the same thing.
Perhaps, Aira knew that the demon king’s impurity would be revealed at the end of the banquet. It must have been that he was planning to use the energetic participants as his own troops.
I feel like I’m playing in Aira’s grasp.
I said.
“… But it wouldn’t have been easy to get people out of the wall simply by doing this.”
Humans have a natural desire to protect what they have and maintain peace. To march over a wall is like stinging a beehive.
Mirna replied to him.
“It was something I thought was worth doing. I think this untitled festival was actually a place where Queen Tarantera showed herself. Because she effectively exposed herself to the world.”
“… With a powerful queen together, it seems they thought they had a good chance of winning.”
“As expected, it’s good that Sir Tae-oh understands quickly. The queen was powerful. It must have been a different dimension to those who were not familiar with magic or martial arts.”
In other words, this untitled festival was Aira’s self-PR time.
Everyone must have known that Aira was a powerful wizard. To some extent, it must have been a guess of “this is how it will be.”
It is said that Queen Aira, for example, can cause an earthquake by tapping her feet.
If it was said that you can make a big fireball with just a light flick of your finger, it would have been just a story of catching a floating cloud.
But when they witnessed it firsthand, people would surely realize just how powerful a weapon Queen Aira can be to them.
If she ordered the march with a rational justification for the demon king’s invasion, it was quite possible that the flag would rise high in the sky.
That is the story of the three days I fell.
I suddenly wondered.
“… So, what will happen to me in the future?”
how am i Since the die has already been cast, it cannot be undone. Now all I have to do is move as many as the number on the dice and read the item on the step I stepped on.
Mirna read the item instead.
“Now that you have revealed that you are descended from the Angmar family, Sir Tae Oh will now be seated on the throne. You have to be king.”
“… … .”
“Actually, it’s a lie. There is also a public opinion that this invasion of the Shadow Forces was designed by Lord Tae-oh, the grandson of Demon King Solomon. The timing was bad.”
“okay.”
It certainly doesn’t look that way though.
Mirna continued.
“And, in the first place, the owner of this country now is Queen Tarantera. This untitled festival was just a competition to select Guk-seo to become the queen’s husband. To usurp Lord Tae-oh to become king. I have no choice but to take over.”
Mirna was right.
There are laws and rules in the world.
Although I am descended from the old kings, Ira now owns this land. I just acquired the right to be her husband. Getting the throne would be another story.
“So, am I officially Aira-sama’s husband now?”
At my question, Mirna sighed softly.
“… that.”
The door opens as she tries to answer.
“Tae-oh, you’re awake! I brought some medicine for you!”
She was Narmi. Seeing Narmi’s cheerful appearance, Mirna stopped what she was trying to say and let out a small sigh.
* * *
“The joints and bones are completely twisted! Sister, I’ll take the left, so you take the right!”
“Yes, Narmi. If you do three, you press it at the same time.”
“three!”

Clunky.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, usually one, two, then three, don’t they? I stopped screaming at the pain that came in at an unexpected moment.
“Hey… !”
Irrespective of my screams, Mirna and Narmi corrected my broken body.
what to say about it It felt like my body had been completely disassembled and then reassembled from scratch. Tears flowed down my cheeks because it was refreshing and painful at the same time.
“It hurts… !”
“Looking at you so hard, it looks like you’re getting a lot better! I’m going to give you myrrh now, so let’s lie down for a second! I’ll put a new bandage on you!”
slurp.
Sister Mirnarmi skillfully untied the bandages around my body. Narmi smiles as I am slightly admiring her skillful workmanship beyond my expectations.
“Mummy, I’ve made a lot of them.”
… Let’s not ask any more.
Anyway, I was stripped naked in front of Sister Mirnarmi.
It was a pretty shameful experience for women to be washed or medicated while they were unable to move due to muscle pain. Fortunately, they treated me wholeheartedly and bandaged me again.
I was the only one thinking weird.
“Now you can easily move your body! Of course, it doesn’t mean that you’re feeling better because you’ve temporarily killed the pain. If the nerves are gradually regenerated, it will be very painful, so be prepared.”
“It’s thanks to the girls. thank you.”
“Then, Sir Tae-oh, please get some rest.”
Mirna and Narmi left the room and left me. There were quite a few things I wanted to ask them. For example, what happened in the main hall of the Draco family.
I’m sorry.
As I lay back on my bed alone and tried to sleep, the door creaked again. When I wondered if the Draco girls had left behind something, I could see her blonde hair sticking out.
“If that’s the case, you shouldn’t have opened the door.”
“Well, I just came to see how you are. You said Draco’s girls went for a massage? He has a talent for basics, so he must have improved a bit.”
Shh.
Elgar stood by my bed and looked around like a friend who had come to visit her awkwardly. The smell of moxibustion and medicine burning here and there frowned.
Then he pulled something out of his chest and held it towards me.
“You only eat this. It’s a tonic that dad gives only to my brother Richard. I secretly stole one from people. You’ll feel better if you eat this. Open your mouth.”
Then, as someone saw it, he shoved it into my mouth. It was like forcing a dog or cat to take medicine.
“Bee.”
“Hey, don’t spit it out! Do not taste, chew and swallow!”
When I chewed something round on Elgar’s torch, it tasted like chewing a lump of mud. The bitter and astringent taste suddenly came back, thanks to which the taste cells that had lost the taste returned in an instant.
“Anyway, you don’t have time to lie down. I have to get up and go to work. do you understand You really don’t have time to lie down right now?”
Elgar said that Angmar’s country is nothing more than a wasteland right now.
According to a call from Reinhardt, the work could not proceed because the ministers rushed into the court to protest.
Scenes were drawn up in my mind.
Since the survivors of Angmar, who were thought to have been annihilated, are still alive, it is only natural that the country will be plunged into chaos. Meanwhile, Aira even marched over the wall… .
“I don’t think I have time to lie down.”
“Because it is. And I think Professor Stella has something to say to you. what this is, i don’t know you know how to do it still… .”
Elgar hesitates for something.
“Do you have more to say?”
“Still, you did well. I really didn’t know I was going to win that Aira. To be honest, I was skeptical.”
At Elgar’s pure praise, I felt a new sensation. To Elgar who is congratulating me, if I told you that I dedicated 100 years of my life in this match, what would my expression be?
“This is a reward.”
swish.
Seeing Elgar stroking my hair, I vow not to tell anyone about life expectancy. Because I don’t want to be beaten with my fist.
I opened my mouth to tell the story.
“So, I asked Mirna before, but I didn’t get an answer. How is the relationship between me and Ira-sama now?”
“… That’s it. Now it’s up to you to do it. But on paper, it’s up.”
“document?”
“On paper, your name is next to Aira. You and I are a couple. for now. Legally, it is.”
When Elgar said that, the expression on her face looked very grim.
“The one who came last puts his name on the paper first. As a harem’s wife, frankly, I feel a little bad. In order or in any other way, shouldn’t I be the first?”
“… … .”
I have nothing to say about that. However, as soon as he heard the story from Elgar, his clouded mind seemed to clear a little.
is it.
Did Ira and I really become a couple?
I just didn’t feel it.
If I met Aira’s face, I might feel it even more.
I got up slowly.
“Hey, where’s the bad guy going?”
“Please take me to a place called that garrison. We will meet and talk in person.”
