That Man’s 101st Bad Ending

chapter 19



On the night the moon dances-3

Tok,

Watch the drop of water dripping onto the beaker.

Colorful potions falling on the green water, an alchemist’s day was nothing special.

Even though the intention of doing this was not in alchemy, making and selling such a potion was quite profitable.

“Aha… I’m going to die of sleep.”

Because I couldn’t sleep exceptionally today, I couldn’t lie in bed until this dawn.

The problem was that it was so noisy because of the full moon festival.

Didn’t the firecracker explode earlier, knocking over a beaker?

You can make several potions with just one beaker. I frowned at the thought that I had only blown gold.

It is not easy to move because it is exceptionally small.

Perhaps, if others saw it, it would be the body of a 12-year-old or so.

After tidying up the hair tied back one more time, Jay jumped down from the chair and picked up the glass fragment that had fallen to the floor.

I thought I picked them all up earlier, but there was one left.

Seeing the moon through the open window, Jay rubbed his eyes and sighed.

It was time to sleep. Tomorrow I will leave this city and go south.

This fugitive life will soon end.

On the other hand, I felt a little bit uneasy.

What will happen in these last days?

“Let’s wake up tomorrow and think. If I had found it, I would have already killed it.”

If the pursuers who pursued him had found out, he would have been slain immediately.

However, it still sounded good.

Above all, with so many people, if a suspicious person appears, they will be caught by the patrol.

Took, along with the lights of the festival slowly extinguished, the place where Jay lives was also plunged into darkness.

That’s how the silence comes.

In the darkness where no sound can be heard, only the whispering sound of breathing.

Lying on the bed, Jay surrendered himself to the sleep that was soon approaching.

Dawn when the once-bright light disappears and the stars reveal themselves little by little.

A street where the moon is hidden by clouds, and only dim light spreads like fog.

…In the midst of it, the shadow began to move.

It was pretty easy to get rid of Adele.

As much as I was immersed in the afterglow of the fireworks, I only quickly got out after saying there was a place to stop by for a while.

Then I got a weapon, and remember where Jay lives and head in that direction now.

As I swung the sword in my hand, a heavy sensation was transmitted to my arm.

As expected, this body was not accustomed to holding a sword.

Maybe it’s because I’ve never held a sword in this life.

It was natural since he had never held it before, but it didn’t matter too much.

There was a time when I stopped without a weapon.

It was close to friendship, but the already imprinted experience would be of great help in dealing with the raiders.

Wouldn’t it be possible to fight with bare hands now? I don’t want to gamble like that, though.

“I’m sure he’s still alive.”

The time Jay was attacked was always the same.

By the time the fireworks are over, people have completely dispersed and all the lights are out.

There were still a few lampposts left.

According to the time, it must be around 1:00 in the morning.

As many drunk people can be seen around me, the time given to me was sufficient.

As I walked through the alley, I remembered Adele, whom I had left alone for no reason.

I didn’t want to go to the north for a while, but it seemed like I needed to stop by at least once.

I’ll go and give you a warning about being framed for treason.

If so, the Eun-Won I have will also be resolved neatly.

Anyway, she was a very different woman than I knew.

When we were together before, he was just the Grand Duke of the North who showed a cold-hearted and sometimes cruel side.

In this life… it’s just that it’s close to being idiotic.

You’ll be sad if you just leave. I really couldn’t resist.

I had some sense of what she thought of me.

Perhaps it is a question of a completely different course from the rumors.

But that’s all, it was obvious that he said he was interested in me out of curiosity.

I didn’t know that I would be involved not once, but twice, and I didn’t know that I would come directly because I didn’t go to the north last time.

It is said that it will end with one visit.

If you go and talk to me in moderation, you will lose interest in me.

The relationship ends here.

Being deeply entangled with a woman who would lose her life due to false accusations of treason was never good. Shouldn’t death be postponed until the crown prince’s breath is stopped?

After a while, I realized that the lights around me were disappearing one by one.

Soon the lights will disappear completely, and the city will be plunged into darkness again.

That’s when it’s time for me to make a move. to hide oneself

So that no one notices that I am here.

Where Jay lives is the building right above my head.

It’s normal for an alchemist to live in, but it’s full of unusual items.

Usually, her job is to sell potions and herbs at the general store, but in reality.

She is a woman who can be said to be the best intelligence minister in this empire.

No, maybe it would be ambiguous to call her a woman.

Because of the mana twisted from birth, he must have the body of a child at best.

That’s why I couldn’t deal with this attack. Isn’t her ability purely outside of combat?

It was because of Jay’s help that he found out and collected the actions of the prince.

Using illusions to infiltrate… It’s an ability that’s hard to understand even after hearing the explanation, but

It cannot be denied that she is important in every episode.

I thought it was fortunate that I had learned this and that in my past life.

Being able to fight with a sword and being able to calmly think about the situation of an attack were all thanks to the previous episode.

To others, I may look like a small young man, but inside of me is a snake that has lived for hundreds of years.

Most of his actions were predictable, and he doesn’t make mistakes when it comes to what I know.

So this time, I was able to be sure.

Alchemist Jay will live, and this time. That he would cut off the prince’s breath with these hands.

As I closed my eyes, the weak magic power in my body began to resonate with the surroundings.

It digs into the darkness, pulls out a faint thread and wraps it around.

An application of magical power that controls space like a spider’s web and at the same time grasps the movement of the surroundings.

The amount of mana in my body was not that great, but if I wanted to use it, I could apply it better than anyone else.

That’s what age is.

Even if I didn’t put my mind to it, time used to naturally advance these skills.

Even if you can’t touch this thread, you can feel the presence.

After looking around for a while, I could only feel a few passers-by who were still drunk and intoxicated.

Perhaps there is an attacker among them.

As it was before, my eyes were always on those people.

…However, that concentration soon broke.

It was because he felt a presence that should not have existed at this time originally.

Cold magic power flowed through the thread and was transmitted.

My body trembled at the intense and violent magic, as if I was angry at something.

“Why the hell is this person here?”

Adele Ygritte.

I couldn’t get a sense of why the woman’s presence was being caught.

The presence of many people beside her was also felt.

Repeatedly scattering and gathering around, isn’t it just like looking for someone?

When she sensed something strange and spread the thread, Adele’s magic suddenly reacted strongly.

“I heard you.”

He probably realized that someone was sensing his surroundings with magical powers.

However, she doesn’t know that this is my magical power.

Should I get rid of it? After thinking over and over again, he shook his head and accepted the situation.

It would have been difficult to even get my body out of it.

But to move hastily, wouldn’t it be soon that Jay would be attacked?

So I stood there and waited, and Adele approached me from over there.

He was a little startled when he saw my face, then began to glance at me with a furrow of his eyebrows.

“…were you here? Where did you run away from me, why the hell are you here?”

“Didn’t I tell you earlier? I mean, I’m busy.”

“I didn’t know that busy work was hiding in a place like this. Robert, did you ever have a hobby of spying on other people’s houses?”

“It is a misunderstanding.”

Serung, her eyes grew cold as she pulled out her sword.

Maybe she didn’t like that I had lied to her and that she had been tricked.

However, she was not the kind of woman who would pull out a sword just like that.

It may be my hasty judgment, but it is certain that the existence of me is quite interesting to her.

The reason I pulled out the sword wasn’t just out of anger… I wonder if it was asking for an explanation as to why I was here.

A woman named Adele Ygritte is simple on the inside.

Whatever you want, whatever your heart desires.

However, as unpredictable as that animal sixth sense, he must have realized that there was something here.

This is the first time anyone other than me knows about this.

I tried not to say it as much as possible. But if it’s Adele… you can believe it.

She doesn’t remember, but wasn’t she a comrade at least once?

“A person is going to die here today.”

Then her arm stopped right there.

Just as she was about to point her sword at me, Adele narrowed her eyes and asked back.

“People?”

“Yes. If we don’t stop it, it will probably become an accident tomorrow and be known around.”

“So you’re here to stop it? Yeah… got it.”

After thinking for a moment, she nodded once and lowered her sword.

It was quite an unexpected reaction, so I was rather taken aback.

How did you know who died? I was preparing, thinking that you would ask something like that.

The expression that sighed as if it was relieved was because it seemed that the question was over now.

As I stared at it, Adele smiled and opened her mouth as she inserted her sword back.

“I don’t know why you’re making that face. Were you even impressed that you didn’t kill me?”

“Are you not asking anything?”

“Why should I ask?”

As if that was natural, she replied indifferently and continued.

The man next to him just smiled dejectedly, saying he knew that.

I knew who he was. Adele’s schemer wearing glasses must be a man named Lotos.

“Everyone has a secret. Judging by the fact that he didn’t say it right away, it’s probably something of that sort. I have no intention of figuring out all that. If it’s something to do, leaving a woman like me alone… it must be a great thing. Prince Taylor.”

The tone was close to interrogation, but it was clear that she wasn’t taking it too seriously.

Are you nervous for nothing?

So I let out a sigh of relief, and Lotos, who was next to me, looked at Adele with a chuckle.

“Aren’t you just looking for it out of concern? We don’t even know who Robert is, but he says he’s gone and he’s making a fuss about finding him- Uh-huh. Anyway, I’m glad I found it.”

“Be quite. Unless you want to die early.”

As Adele sighed, Lotos closed her mouth tightly and grabbed her neck.

Nothing has changed. Heck, I know of dozens of situations like this.

Lotos almost dies while fussing around without knowing the subject, and Adele draws her sword and makes a fuss.

I tried to laugh at the friendly situation, but I tried to control my expression and looked at Adele.

Adele must have been quite concerned about what Lotos just said.

He glanced at me, averted his gaze, and added.

“…I wasn’t worried about anything. It just disappeared and I found it.”

“Is that so?”

“It is better not to listen to this horse bone next to me. I haven’t heard anything helpful about it. Keep that in mind even when you come to the North later.”

I realized that it was meant to relieve my own shame.

But when I nodded as if I understood, Adele looked at me silently and then turned her head away.

Now that it’s like this, it’s safe to say that I’ve gotten farther away from avoiding going to the North.

I nodded, and Adele looked around and opened her mouth.

When I thought about it, I realized that there was only one fire left. Soon, it meant that the attack on Jay would begin.

“But if you want to stop people from dying, is that something you can do by yourself? If it’s okay, we can help. Because that’s what I’ve done a lot.”

“Thank you, but this is something I have to deal with. If you need anything…”

Then I saw Adele’s sword in my eyes.

A sword that is far better than the one I have now, and will not break no matter how much I swing it.

With her help, things might get messed up because of her presence.

However, you can borrow at least one item.

“Can I borrow your sword?”

“knife…? It doesn’t matter, but you’ve never held a sword before.”

“I did say so.”

Adele, who hesitated for a moment, then said something curious as she held the sword at me.

Certainly, he should have said that he had no interest in swords the last time we met.

This time around, I had hardly ever held a sword or even swung it.

“By the way, I never said that I couldn’t handle a sword.”

Gripping, something I couldn’t do because it was an old sword.

Magical power welling up from the heart flows down the arm and is transmitted to the sword.

A blue flash erupted from the darkness, and Adele stared blankly at the scene.

Of course, it was nothing to me. Isn’t the light that cuts through the shadows a matter of course for me, having lived through a single episode?

There was a time when I lived only by relying on the sword.

So the 101st me, too, had no choice but to get used to the sword.

Because it was really boring.

Sword Saint was a nickname given to me in a certain episode.
