“Umm…”
Grabbing her brittle hair and opening her eyes, she saw a strange ceiling.
“……?”
I had just opened my eyes, and I looked around, trying to somehow catch my still hazy mind.
“Umm…”
Then, Lulu, who was crouching at the edge of the bed where I was lying, closed his eyes and exhaled quietly, caught my eye.
“Fray… please stay safe…”
I looked at her blankly, then quietly turned my attention to the sound I heard next to me.
“please…”
Clana was burying her face in the bed, holding my hand.
‘…what?’
Did I even drink again? I don’t quite understand the current situation. Where is this place and why are these two here?
“What is this…”
I looked around frantically to figure out the situation somehow, but then I lifted my head and looked at the bedside table, and I was at a loss for words.
“”……..””
A black cat doll, a white owl and a dove, and a red puppy were crawling and looking down at me.
For reference, there was also a canary, but for some reason, it was pushed to the very end. He seems to be sleeping curled up now, but why does he look so crumpled?
“What’s happening?”
After looking at the round eyes of these guys, I couldn’t stand it anymore and asked a question.
“…..!”
“Fray…?”
Lulu and Clana look at me while raising their heads at the same time, and then they open their eyes and run towards me.
“master!!”
“Fray, are you on your mind!?”
Bewildered by the violent reaction, I quietly nodded, and the two girls buried their heads in my arms at the same time.
“Lick, lick, lick.”
Lulu’s tongue, which was making a low-pitched dog cry, digs into my throat and begins to lick me violently.
“Keeping… Knocking…”
As she looked at me and licked her neck, and with her ears stretched out, looking at her coming into my arms with a sad expression, I felt like a puppy wet in the rain waving its tail, so I decided to leave it alone.
“Frey, you… you’ve been unconscious for a week.”
“What?”
However, the sound that Clana brought out of her mouth as she buried her face in my arms and carefully made eye contact with me is unusual.
Has it been a week? What the hell is that?
“…Ugh!”
As I looked back at the last memory that came to my mind, stunned, I remembered giving Lulu a lap pillow in the carriage.
Lulu kept tickling the top of his head, so I gently caressed him and closed his eyes from the fatigue that came over him, but after that, I can’t think of anything.
If so, could it be that the person who closed his eyes at that time had lost his mind until now?
“You told Lulu that he would get better in a few days? Such nonsense. The doctor said it was a fatal wound.”
While I still have a blank expression on my face, Clana glares at me and urges me.
“I used all my power to get doctors and medicines, and I built a recovery room.”
“The recovery room?”
“Just lying here will automatically relax your body and increase the amount of treatment.”
It was then that the scenery of the room began to come into my eyes.
All kinds of rare herbs and potions from the eastern and western continents, and even the recovery magic circles that seem to have been separated by several people at a glance.
The amount of treatment was enough to make any half-body paralyzed.
“……..”
But what touched my heart more than anything else was the condition of Lulu and Clana.
They both had to take care of me for a week, so they couldn’t eat properly, or it was because they were staring at each other with dry eyes.
– Whoops… Whoops…
“So, what happened in the last week?”
However, there is no time for sorrow.
It is because it is quite risky to waste a week or time unconscious.
“…People, everyone thinks you’re missing.”
So I hurriedly asked a question, and Clana answered by glancing at Lulu, who was rubbing her head on my stomach.
“Except you were mortally wounded… All plans have been completed perfectly. Perloche is almost fully recovered. So, there is no need to worry.”
“…I see.”
“Benere is looking for your whereabouts with an investigation team… Thanks to that, the surveillance is pretty bloody, but this is a secret hideout I’ve prepared for you. At first, most people think you’re dead.”
Clana’s eyes as she said that were shining quietly.
“There were a few minor problems… but we took care of them.”
“…Right.”
And Lulu’s eyes that nodded while looking at Clana like that.
“With Mr. Clana… I asked the people who got in the way of the master.”
was shining dark.
For some reason, these guys started to get a little scared.
“Frey, get some rest.”
“Master, get some rest.”
Thanks to this, I sweat a little, and the two girls fight to wipe my sweat and lay me on the bed.
‘I was all well…’
Maybe it’s because I’ve been receiving treatment for a week, and now my body is in perfect health.
Of course, the penalty remains the same, but the condition to fly is maintained.
But when I think about it, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with just preserving the body.
First of all, I am currently missing.
I plan to announce that I am alive before returning to the academy in my sophomore year, but until then, I will be able to enjoy a peaceful vacation again.
“Fray, you want the world to announce that you’re alive?”
How did she read that thought, Clana looks down at me and asks a question.
“Can’t we just keep the missing state…?”
“What do you mean?”
“The public opinion is so bad.”
Clana’s eyes trembled quietly as she said that.
“I tried to put it to sleep, but the headwinds blew. Half the public opinion that if you are found alive, you should be put to death, half the public opinion that you should be deprived of your nobility…”
“I, I will brainwash all the people of the empire with my magic eyes! All of them are the master’s dog…! No, I’m the only dog, so I’m a slave…”
– Ugh…
“OMG?”
Hearing her words, I reached out to Lulu’s head, who had been rubbing his head on my stomach until then, burning his willpower and making terrifying remarks.
– Shaa…
“Uhhh…”

Eventually, while I was stroking her hair, I put the star magic on Lulu to put him to sleep, and slowly opened my mouth looking at Clana.
“I’ll let you know soon that I’m alive, so take away my nobility, Clanna.”
“What!?”
“Temporarily. Not permanently.”
Then Clana, who opened her eyes wide, asked with an expression that she did not know what she was talking about.
“Are you crazy?”
Unbelievable that she was a harsh princess, she burst out laughing, and Clana spoke with an angry expression on her face.
“There are two advantages.”
“No, wait a minute.”
“The first is that if I do that, my points will accumulate more and more and become stronger.
“for a moment…”
“Second, it will be beneficial for you to take full control of the imperial family.”
When I gave her a logical explanation, she grabbed my shoulder and was about to say something, but she quietly shut her mouth.
“The Empress is under investigation, but his son is still holding on, right? The Emperor is still alive and well.”
“……..”
“There’s nothing better than finding me the enemy of all and temporarily demoting me to a commoner to get a wedge in a situation like this.”
Clana, hearing those words, continued to bruise me while holding my shoulder.
“After that, I have plans for everything, so don’t feel too burdened…”
“Then are you happy?”
“yes?”
Taking it as a sign of agreement, I pondered over the plan and tried to conclude, but Clana cut me off.
“If that happens, will you be really happy?”
Then she had a very sad expression on her face.
“I’m not weak anymore. I have enough power to protect you.”
“Clana.”
“And, I want to make you happy.”
Hearing those words, I fell into silence just like her before.
“Stop sacrificing your happiness for me, as well as for others.”
Saying that, she quietly stroked my hair with her hand.
“…I was looking for my happiness.”
“…?”
Why? For some reason, Clana in front of me no longer felt difficult.
From the previous episode, I thought he was a difficult, hard worker and strict ruler, but he must have had the same aspect as just before.
“I was just looking for my happiness.”
“What…”
“To see you become emperor… is one of my ten wishes and a dream.”
“……!”
So, with a shy expression on her bucket list, Kania opens her mouth.
“It was my dream to see you on the throne and look down at the world, and I look up to you like that.”
“……..”
“If you become emperor, this rotten empire will return to its original state.
After I finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.
“Uh, where… are you going to see it?”
“yes?”
Suddenly Clana blushes and whispers in a low voice.
“Are you going to see me from below? Or… are you going to see me from my side?”
“uh…”
“I, I… fully respect your choice…”
As I looked at her blushing and stuttering, I struggled to understand the meaning of those words.
“Ahhh…”
“Anyway, let’s discuss this again later.”
When Lulu woke up with a yawn, he finished talking and pulled up the blanket.
“Sin, I’m sorry…”
“You must have been very sleepy, Lulu.”
I was stroking Lulu’s head, which was lying face down on me, in a completely prone position, but I quietly closed my eyes to see if I should add more eyes now that I’m more relaxed.
[Main Quest – Clearing the Hero Appointment Ceremony!]
[compensation……]
“…tt.”

Embarrassingly, at that moment, when the system window opened in front of my eyes, I frowned and began to read the contents roughly.
[….2 Skill Enhancement Tickets (one can be used for each skill)]
“Well?”
However, the reward written at the end of the spear that came up seemed quite plausible.
‘What did he eat wrong…?’
It was a pretty big advantage to be able to raise a skill that consumes a lot of points to strengthen it without consuming points.
Why did the demon give such a benefit? Isn’t it right not to give it even after using it?
“Hmm…”
After thinking for a while, I immediately remembered that this reward is a fixed reward for clearing this scenario quest.
‘A demon can interfere with the system… but can’t you fix everything at all?’
If my prediction is correct, this was quite good news.
Isn’t that saying that even the dreadful deeds of demons can have limitations?
[Affection system] (LV 3 -> LV 4)
– Enhancing the overall system
[Mind Reading] (LV 1 -> LV 2)
– Changed the number of times to apply cooldown
– Output the thoughts the other person is holding in the order of the strongest thoughts. (up to 4)
In addition, there was no time to invest in skills because all the points were poured into the warrior’s invincible awakening, but this was free.
Thanks to that, I looked at the system and smiled after a long time, so I leveled up my skills by paying close attention.
“master?”
“…frey?”

Even after completing the level-up, I had a pleasant smile for a while, but Clana and Lulu were tilting their heads, so I decided to experiment with the upgraded mind-reading function.
[Clana’s current emotions: anxiety/impression/worry/sadness/fluttering/fluttering]
[Clana’s current thoughts]
– I want to stay hand in hand with Frey.
– I want to protect him by any means.
– It’s depressing and sad to keep being pushed by other women on a fictional day.
– I don’t want him to be my husband, I want to be his wife.
“Uh… um…”
The power of mind-reading was stronger than expected.
– Sreuk…
“Fh, Frey?”
I hesitated with my face blushing, lowering my gaze and carefully holding Clana’s hand.
“…Hehe.”
Then she looked down at me with her eyes wide open, and then she smiled bashfully, closed her eyes and leaned back on the bed.
“I, I can… I can…”
Closing your eyes and pretending to take a break, seeing the expression on your face that you want to die, it must have been so good even though it was just holding hands.
“…hmm.”
Having finished verifying my thoughts like that, I quietly shifted my gaze to Lulu this time.
Originally, Mind Reading could only be used once per person, but seeing the cooldown, I was wondering if it would be possible to continue using it for the duration.
[Luru’s current emotions: blind loyalty / eternal love / worry / tickling / lust for domination]
As expected, the mind-reading function worked well.
– I want my master to stroke my stomach.
– I want to save my master. If you can’t save the master, you’ll die.
– I want to live obediently as my master’s pet forever, and be buried in the same grave.
– I want to be controlled, dominated, and restrained by my master.
The problem was that it worked so well.
“…Huh?”
– Whoa, whoa…
“Ah, uh… go, thank you…”
With a slight sigh, I gently stroked Lulu’s stomach and tried to check the affection system that had just been leveled up.
“nine!”
“Ouch.”
At that moment, the pigeon sitting on the pedestal above my head slightly pecked my forehead, so I bent my head and looked at him blankly.
“…Hmm?”
The guy who always had a stupid expression on his face was sending out a letter with a serious expression on what was going on.
“What happened…”
Thanks to that, I received his letter with a worried expression on my face.
“……?”
Soon, he tilted his head.
– Clana.
[Professor Isolet, don’t worry.
Frey Raon Starlight is currently in our possession.
To explain in detail […]
For some reason, the letter he gave me was a letter from Clana to Isolet.
“Huh? That’s…!”
At the same time, Clana looked at the letter with her eyes wide open.
“Why, why is that letter there…?”
“Goo… Goo…”
“Uh?”
At the same time, the guy Perloche named Gugu fell powerlessly into Clana’s arms.
“Sah, hurt…”
There were quite a few scars on his body.
“for a moment.”
I looked at that guy with a bewildered expression.
“I don’t know what this is… but the fact that this letter is here…”
Soon, he was engulfed in great fear and muttered.
“…Isolet noona, you mean you don’t know if I’m alive?”
Apparently, I have to prepare to go out.
.
.
.
.
.
Meanwhile at that time.
“Ugh…”
Isolette was lying on the bed in her room, fully drunk.
“Wow, Frey… you bad bastard…”
He hugged her beloved sword and a picture of Frey, which Frey had given her.
“I gave my body and mind to you… Where the hell did you go…”
Her body was drenched in tears, and she was crying.
“I mean, I’m not even married anymore…”
For a while, in her room, a mournful wailing could be heard.
Oh god I want to hear some more juicy detail…
