76 – Finally the first main quest (2)
It wasn’t enough to receive a dog-like quest, and I even heard that my father was imprisoned in a cold prison.
It was only natural for my mood to go downhill.
Your father is in custody? I belatedly thought that this was the reason the students were whispering while looking at me.
“Wow! What about my dad crying!”
“It’s okay. There must have been some mistake. Are you okay.”
I was saying that, but my hand was trembling as I brushed Louisa’s hair.
‘My father…’
That’s what the word ‘rescue’ in the quest window meant. This time as well, a route I didn’t know at all popped up.
First of all, we need information.
After calming Louisa, I went straight to the principal’s office. It was thought that a principal with connections to high-ranking figures in politics would know more precisely what had happened.
“Master. Are you okay?”
Raminasis, who was following me, asked anxiously.
What do you ask? Not okay Her hair is tangled up and it’s driving me crazy.
“He is showing up again.”
“Ah.”
At that, I stopped in her podium and covered her face with both of her hands. Then she washed her dry face a couple of times and wiped her face.
‘After… Let’s calm down.’
I asked Laminasis to tell me in advance if I think my heartless side from the war will come out again. The fact that she is saying this now means that the piece came out without my knowledge.
I have to be careful… My appearance during the war was horrifying even to see myself.
“Thank you.”
“No.”
After calming down for a moment, I walked down the hallway at a brisk pace again. I stopped in front of the principal’s office, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.
“Principal. I am Count Peirosis So.”
Almost immediately, the principal burst open the door and greeted me. It was very impressive to see her bright red hair tied back and tidied up.
For reference, the principal’s hair was not confiscated. In the end, the artificial dungeons yielded only good harvests, so there was no need to call the principal.
He greeted me with a very urgent expression.
“Dae Eun-in!”
“There is something I want to ask you.”
“Me, I just got a call from you too!”
I’m glad. I can go straight to the point.
“So? What is your father’s crime?”
The principal looked at me and hesitated for a while before he carefully opened his mouth.
“Woe, His Majesty the Emperor…”
“Your Majesty?”
“…Ah, it’s called an assassination attempt…”
I couldn’t even say how ridiculous I was. Standing in front of the door of the principal’s office as if nailed to it, the principal was also unable to enter and was at a loss.
‘Assassination?’
Is that word I know correct?
Ontar Peirosis, whose father, the most loyal subject of the empire, took the lead in blocking countless assassination attempts until the emperor ascended the throne, went to prison for attempting to assassinate the emperor?
No matter how crazy Lunatic Soul is, it doesn’t show such crazy probability.
Rather, he is the one at the forefront when the emperor wields the nail bat while purging the nobles years later. That constant person can’t be like that! And he says he’s also my father now!
“Dae, Dae Eun-in-nim… For now, that, de, come in and tell me…”
I barely came to my senses at the principal’s words and moved on in a daze. As soon as he sat down on the sofa, he let out a sigh of relief. Really, how the heck is it going?
“So… Can you explain?”
The principal rolled his eyes at my question, looking for something to say. The words that came out were deceptively simple.
“I’m sorry. Apparently, His Majesty strictly forbids the leaking of information directly… So I couldn’t get any information.”
“…Ha ha.”
I let out a sigh, and the headmaster quickly waved his hand in amazement. What’s the matter. I’m not that bad
“Only time! Give us a little time! I’ve just heard about it, so the time is running out…!”
“When did this happen?”
“The incident… Was yesterday morning, and it is said that the count was detained this morning.”
Damn it! It was, of course, when I was sleeping on the bed with Aisha.
The guilt meter skyrocketed when I thought I was lounging in bed with a woman while my father was in custody.
As I was trying to calm myself down in the awkward silence, the crystal ball that was prepared on one side of the principal’s office began to emit light.
The principal, who was oppressed by the awkward atmosphere, was delighted and rushed toward the communication section.
– Oh, principal. Is there any loatire there?
Racard’s voice turned his head away from guilt for a moment. If it’s Racard… Can you explain the situation more accurately?
Instead of the principal, I trudged to the front of the communication section and spoke to him.
“I am here, Lacard.”
– You were there too. I’m sorry. First of all, I’m busy with work right now, so I’m late in contacting you.
“That’s fine. So could you please explain what happened?
Rakard answered my question right away, as if he had already thought of what to say.
– I can’t tell you right now. Let me explain this side. Urgently teleport to the imperial castle.
“Okay.”
Since it was Racard’s words, there must be a reason for that. I nodded quickly and then asked.
“Can I take my mother and younger brother with me?”
– The Countess is already here. Bring only her brother.
As expected, he nodded, thinking that the work was done quickly. I turned around and muttered softly using the soul chain.
“Aisha.”
Then, within one second, Aisha jumped through space with a teleport and jumped out in front of me. Then she came to me with a look full of concern.
“Did you call me?! What’s the matter?”
This was the new effect of Soul Chain. I don’t know exactly why, but over the past week, an additional skill effect has been added to my soul chain.
[Soul Chain (Hidden Skill): An ability newly manifested through the mixing of the souls of the Great Witch of the Great Cold and her disciple. It does not change under any external pressure. The more often the body and mind are mixed, the greater the effect. ]
[ You can roughly grasp each other’s thoughts, feelings, and positions. You can also block sharing if you wish. ]
[ Soul Bond: You can convey each other’s thoughts without being bound by space. ]
[ Soul Bond: The upper limit of physical contact is slightly increased. ]
Thanks to this ‘soul bond’, we can call each other or whisper sweet love anytime, anywhere.
“I called because I wanted you to go to Hwangseong with me for a while.”
“Hwangseong? Why all of a sudden? Did Nanika call you?”
Nanika? Why did his name suddenly appear? That person is a person who rarely appears in the original work?
“Let me go and explain. Please follow me.”
“Yes! Wherever Tyr wants!”
“There will be Louisa in the room. Bring Louie…”
After talking that far, I paused for a while.
As with the ‘incident’ at the marquis appointment ceremony, it is necessary to thoroughly prepare for this unprecedented situation. I’m going with Laminasis anyway, so I feel like I’m overpowered.
“Bring all the people in the club room. I’ll also bring a black man.”
Nevertheless, I decided to do my best.
‘More thoroughly. Meticulously. And perfectly.’
Before I knew it, I was slowly bringing out the way I was thinking that day when I was preparing for the war. Especially this time, as in the prologue, the family is involved.
From nob le mt l. co m
My family is more precious than my life. You can never be careless.
Aisha nodded her head vigorously without saying anything, as if she understood my feelings.
“Okay! I’ll go right now!”
After a brief noise of mana brushing against the atmosphere.
“Come here!”
After almost 20 seconds, Aisha reappeared in front of me. No, for her, the faster the better, but isn’t this a bit too fast?
Beside her are Louisa, Tinyashif, and Professor Luktae… No, why are you here again?
Everyone was dumbfounded and had their eyes wide open.

“Nyang~ Nyang~”
Today, after finishing the outside practice quickly, I headed for the club room with light steps like a cat.
It’s only natural that I always had fun on the way to meet my juniors! I purposely finished the practice quickly to see my junior.
Recently, my sister asked me about a ‘good number’, and I was even more happy because I was doing pretty well in the Southern Allied Powers.
‘Huh?’
I just turned the corner of the hallway and saw a man hanging out in front of the club room.
It was Professor Luctae who was also known as an authority on artifacts, and who had a more bad reputation as ‘walking misfortune’ than that.
“Nyan? Professor?”
“Ah… Princess Shamilton. Hello…”
Since he is a person related to the recent ‘good number’, my view of the professor has changed a little. From someone to be avoided to someone of immense value. Also, people shouldn’t just look at the outside.
It wouldn’t be strange to be a little more arrogant if you’re skilled enough to get this level of evaluation from the duke, and even from me, who is Shamilton. He is still a timid man.
If you are a man, you should have a confident look like our juniors! Then!
“What are you doing?”
“I-I also have some business for Count So… hehehe…”
Oh, I became extremely anxious. The misfortune walking around came looking for juniors on their own feet! I don’t think I have to take off my feet for the comfort of my junior!
At that time, the door suddenly opened and the Archwitch appeared.
Before we could panic, the Archwitch looked back and forth between me and the professor and said in a nonchalant way.
“I was going to come in anyway, so you guys should go too.”
“…Yes?”
Then this is the situation.
The scenery changed in an instant while I closed and opened my eyes for a moment.
It wasn’t that embarrassing. I also experienced teleporting countless times while managing the guild.
I was a little embarrassed because there was a junior in the principal’s office that I used to visit from time to time. I approached her junior, who had put the High Witch on her shoulder, and asked.
“Nyan…? Junior, what the hell is this?”
The junior seemed embarrassed and smiled slightly firm.
“I’m sorry, senior. Would you like to accompany me for a moment?”
“Of course, Nyan!!”
I answered immediately. Where your juniors go is the way I should go!
Behind him, Professor Luctae muttered in a crawling voice, fiddling with his fingers.
“I-I just wanted to confirm something…So I came here…”
“Noisy! If Tyr asks to go, go!”
“Hee!”
But how could a poor and timid professor defy the archwitch’s orders? Inhaling her shrieking screams, he gently drooped her shoulders.
Anyway, he is a person who gets involved in strange things here and there.
‘I’m anxious. Nyan…’
It makes me anxious to go with a check that guarantees that bad things will happen in the future…
