Time goes back-3
There was no opponent that could not be defeated.
At least if I set my mind to winning, it was clear that I could get an edge over any opponent.
But… what Adele said shakes the very foundation of that idea.
I was sure I would be able to move after dropping Adele, but it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to move like that.
be a priority Frankly, there was little wrong with Adele’s words.
It was true that I always considered others more than myself.
I had never thought about how it would look in other people’s eyes.
I slowly avoided Adele’s staring gaze at me. No, I was trying to avoid it.
When Adele caught me, realizing that I was about to run away from her gaze.
I didn’t know what to answer. It is certain that it is dangerous.
No matter what I do, Keitel will definitely pay attention to Adele through this.
I didn’t know which way it would go.
“Did you mean this when you said you wouldn’t let go?”
“This is what it means. You tend to think too little of yourself. I don’t really want to see it like that.”
“Even knowing it would be dangerous.”
“It’s better to be dangerous together than to be dangerous alone. And aren’t you close with the princess, in case you need to save me? no way…”
cook.
Adele pokes her finger into my chest and smiles mischievously.
It seemed like an action to ease the hardened atmosphere, but somehow it felt like it was stabbing me in my heart.
The corners of my mouth moved awkwardly as I tried to laugh along.
“You’re thinking about the past, aren’t you thinking that it will happen again?”
“I wouldn’t say otherwise.”
Keitel was always involved in my death, and that was something Adele also shared.
If Adele were to directly intervene with Keitel, what kind of variables would this approach?
Can I stop it if I have to? After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly realized that my current thoughts were stupid.
Aren’t almost everything different? As Adele said, then and now are different.
I was the patriarch with much more power, and Adele knows that her death is related to Keitel.
If you’re willing to avoid it, you can avoid it. Maybe Adele was right.
I’ve always had a tendency to look at the past in the present. He rubbed his forehead and sighed quietly.
It would be nice if you were worrying for nothing. Keitel doesn’t care about Adele, and I hope she doesn’t do any harm in this life.
“…I lost.”
It was a word that he had never said before repeating his return, but his meaning was broken by the woman’s few words.
I couldn’t stop myself from wanting to go with you.
I’m sure Adele would be more helpful, so I’ll keep trying to find out what Keitel thinks of Adele.
“Then what is the answer?”
“Let’s go together. Don’t you think you’ll follow me no matter what I say?”
“I guess you know me a little better now.”
It’s something I need to work harder on. Even if something happens that I don’t know about, it’s something I can prevent.
The future in which Adele survives is the one I first envisioned, so somehow. I just want her to be alive when this year passes.

“I cannot analyze all the information gathered from the ruins. We will have to send it to someone who will analyze it and wait for the results.”
“Anyone who can analyze it?”
“There was a person I saved from the Full Moon Festival in the past. I’ve hired that person before. Even now, I am receiving help in obtaining information with appropriate compensation. Even when I became the family head, it was fine in many ways.”
If it happened on the full moon, Adele would remember it clearly, so Adele’s eyes narrowed when she remembered Arwen.
It must be one of the reasons for such a reaction.
Arwen is also a woman, so maybe he doubts my true intentions.
“Was it a woman?”
“Women are right, but I’m not interested.”
“It sounds like you are interested in me. Were you surprisingly honest?”
As I let out a sigh with a smirk on my face, Adele smiled happily and looked at me.
Rather than seeing Arwen as a woman, in fact, he thought he was more like a transcendent being.
The same goes for his strange obsession with the dragon. The same goes for handling the lunar magic with ease.
Since he had reached a higher level than anyone else in magic, even his lifespan would be different.
Unexpectedly, Adele had a pretty good sense of this, so she quickly dispelled her suspicions and brought up another story.
“Then you can do anything only when the results come out. How long do you think it will take?”
“I think it will take a week.”
The schedule to stay here for about a week was completely twisted, and unimportant things were completely postponed.
Time was free now. Even though Leonald complained, I decided it was right to focus on this right now.
When I mentioned the schedule, Adele glanced at me for a moment, then the corners of her mouth twitched.
It was barely visible, but it seemed that the very minute movements were quite satisfactory.
I also liked staying in the North itself. It would have been better if it hadn’t been for a serious matter.
It would be better to think positively in many ways.
“So you’re thinking of staying for a month?”
“That’s right. By the way, you look very comfortable.”
When I told Adele, who was sitting on my bed, Adele, who was sitting casually on the futon, smiled.
It seemed like this was intentional. There is no reason to make the bed in your room and mine the same.
It was nice to be honest, but it felt like my heart was racing every time it happened.
“Well, it doesn’t matter anymore. We even slept together anyway.”
“If anyone hears, they will misunderstand. I would have just slept innocently.”
“That’s what other people see. At this point, should I tell the saintess or princess?”
that we slept together After saying that, Adele pulled the corners of her mouth, then casually laid down on my pillow and patted the seat next to me.
Even as I sighed at the idea of lying together, I thought that this kind of relationship would not be bad.
Because it was much better than the stiff appearance like when we first met in this life.
It’s just that they were drunk and slept together, but how would Adrian or Mirazen react if they found out about it?
I didn’t even want to think about it. It’s not something to joke about, isn’t it enough to cause misunderstandings in many ways?
In particular, Adrian’s feelings are similar to mine.
Since she understood the whole life I’ve lived, maybe that attachment might grow stronger in a strange way.
You’d better be careful. It would have been better to give special attention to Lotos.
“Still, it’s a little better that you can afford it. Originally, I would have had to move busily even now.”
“That’s because I helped. Didn’t I tell you, it would be over sooner if you were with me.”
“…Well, considering the sight of the ruins. It is, but.”
The title of Grand Duke is not just a name.
A word from her had quite a lot of influence on this empire, so if Adele tolerated even a few things, it would be nothing.
I tried not to go out with him, but I am admitting that there are many things that I feel more comfortable with when I am with Adele.
I still don’t leave the worry that it will be dangerous, but shouldn’t I be careful now?
Anyway, now that things have turned out this way, I intend to put an end to the masked people in the North.
Perhaps there will be use of force, and now it is time to wrap up the skills that have almost been restored.
The fact that the dragon’s spirit is alive is definitely an element of anxiety.
I couldn’t help but think about the possibility of resurrection, which I thought was completely impossible.
If the dragon is resurrected and tries to destroy the world, will I be able to subdue the dragon now?
…Not sure. I don’t know if I can restore all my original skills, but if not, I needed to make up my mind more impatiently.
That’s why what was needed was the experience of wielding a sword, so I was thinking of moving toward using force if possible.
“From tomorrow onwards, I will be busy again. Adele has to move, so I won’t be the only one busy. By the way, is your schedule okay?”
“calendar?”
“Don’t you have something to do? It’s summer soon, so it’s going to be busy.”
Northern summer is a period of preparation for the coming winter. ‘Winter is coming’ is used like a proverb in the North.
Because it is winter in the north that is difficult to withstand, preparations to withstand it had to be thorough throughout summer and autumn.
Repair the collapsed house, fill it with food. How busy Adele must be to do this on a regional basis.
If she understood my question, she swallowed her saliva. Then, as if it didn’t matter, he shrugged his shoulders and replied.
“Rotos will take care of it anyway. If I say I’m busy, I’ll take care of it.”
“…That’s what Lotos did.”
After all, it’s not that often that Adele has taken care of things like that herself.
Most of it was the responsibility of Lotos and his subordinates.
Nothing had changed as far as this, so I laughed and suddenly remembered that there was one more person to bring to the north.
Arwen is not the only person who needs to know information about the dragon.
It was because Arwen had a lot of information, but in the first place, the existence of the dragon was pretty hard to find because information was erased throughout the empire.
If someone could easily find such a thing, surely it would be someone related to the church.
There was one person I knew who was affiliated with the Church and could most easily find such information.
When I got up, Adele looked at me blankly.
“Where are you going?”
“I think I should call one more person to the north. I would like to contact you.”
“Who are you talking about? Is it someone I know?”
“Saintess, you would understand.”
At the mention of Adrian, Adele’s expression gradually began to harden.
It gave off a hint of dislike, and quite blatantly.
