chapter 164
164. Defense District – Battle of Gyeolgyesa Temple (2)
“Huh…? Memories of my past life…?”
Marie’s curious voice rang out.
“At the same time, I know what will happen in the future….I also expected that the County of Findelnerca would become like this.”
I said.
This is the first time to reveal about my past life. Because I thought that if I told the secret, I would be treated as if I had a weird head.
However, unlike the first semester, the surrounding situation has changed quite a bit.
The level of relationship with Marie is level 7. And the same goes for Claire.
I became acquainted with Eria, and Rachel…… Although there are elements of anxiety, he is still a servant who follows my orders.
We had people who could be called allies, and we solved various problems together.
And the problem was always how to explain it. Why do I know information that others do not know?
‘I couldn’t tell Claire.’
Claire has excellent political power and authority, and has many people around her.
It is impossible to predict what kind of repercussions it would have if Claire were told about the future.
In that respect, Marie is different.
Mari’s interpersonal relationships are narrow. She does not have as much authority as Claire, so her influence is not as great.
The only thing that makes me anxious is that I am Rose’s younger sister, but I can control that.
Above all…… I just didn’t want to keep it a secret from Marie.
-“What’s going on? I guess there’s still time left until my shift… Restroom?”
-“Well, that’s not it… I can’t sleep…”
·
-“Is it okay if it’s the second time?”
-“It’s okay… If you finish the second second, you can sleep all the way through…”
She saw that and realized. Marie came out of the tent because she wanted to be with me.
Now that she thought about it, she remembered one by one that she had not been able to pay much attention to Marie recently.
She had to start building the automaton, prepare for Chapter 2, and do her vacation homework. There was always a lot of work to do.
I know too many things to spend my youth like others.
You have to reveal that to Marie.
“She wants to be a princess in a fairy tale, or she wants to be a character in a play on stage. Have you ever thought about that?”
“……Well, well.”
“For me, this place feels like a world in a story. I, who lost my life in my previous life… Was given a second chance at life in this story that I reached at the end.”
I intentionally explained it vaguely. I thought that Marie would have a hard time understanding the game even if I explained it to her.
“Well, then the world we live in… Was actually a book, or something like that…?”
“It wasn’t in the form of a book, but it’s safe to understand it that way.”
“Uh, yes… I see…”
“I guess it’s easier to accept than I thought.”
I thought she would be more shocked, but Marie only nodded, hesitantly.
“No, I was surprised, but… If there is such a thing as a creator who created this world, I think it might be in that form…”
“Are you talking about the one god, Gerginia?”
“That might be true… I don’t know much about poetry and theology…”
Gerginia, the only god in this world.
It is written in the scriptures that she willingly lent her divine power to foolish and powerless humans.
Interpretations are divided.
There is also a theory that Gerginia created this world and created humans. There is also a theory that this is not the case.
Only God knows who created this world and who created humans.
“Uh, Ariel…is like Gerginia…?”
“Not really….”
Does Marie think of this world as a novel written by Gerginia?
If I tell you that there is a ‘developer’ who is a higher being than Gerginia, I don’t know what kind of reaction you will get…. It would be better not to explain because it would just make things more complicated.
She did not bring up this story to explain what kind of person she was in her past life.
The important thing is that I know the future, and many events will occur at Filea Academy in the future.
“According to my memories from my past life, humanity will face the crisis of extinction in about two years.”
“…Eh? Destruction…?”
“Yes. The demon king who was said to have been subdued by a forgotten hero… Is actually not completely dead. Only his spirit remains in this world, waiting for the moment of resurrection. … He will be resurrected two years from now.”
The series of events that occur at Filea Academy are all related to the resurrection of the Demon King.
Also the Bamir terrorist incident in Chapter 1.
Apocalypse in Chapter 2.
The witch infiltration incident in Chapter 3 will take place next year.
These are trials for Lucius to be reborn as a true hero, and are also a process for the resurrection of the Demon King.
“But it is a crisis that can be easily overcome. If you prepare well, that is.”
“Ready… Well, then Ariel… did you come to the county for that…?”
“That’s the way it is….And we may have to cross a dangerous bridge in the future.”
I plan to leave most things to Lucius, but there is definitely an unavoidable crisis.
In particular, I cannot guarantee my life about the ‘witch infiltration’ that will occur in the second semester of the second year.
“That’s the situation, Mari…. I’m sorry for putting you in danger even though I knew everything.”
“Huh…? Up, crisis…?”
“During the last infection incident. I knew something like that would happen, but I couldn’t help you….And what happened to Elphys Varmir.”
What would have happened if I hadn’t asked Claire to protect Marie in advance? I would say it’s dizzying just to imagine it.
That was why she thought of telling everything to Marie. If we keep it a secret, Marie might end up in danger like last time.
So it would be better to share what will happen to Marie in the future.
Even if she ends up being hated as a result.
Or even if the romantic relationship ends here.
“Uh, Ariel… Can I tell you something a little strange…?”
Marie speaks as if she is a little embarrassed for some reason.
“I mean………I honestly like the fact that I stopped being human….”
…… What?
“What on earth does that mean….”
“Uh, that… After the phoenix took over… my recovery ability got a little better… Hey, even when I brush my teeth, my gums barely bleed…!”
“…….”
“Well, it may increase your lifespan a little… And the body itself also gains fire resistance… Well, I guess it’s better for the tongue to turn into a monster a bit…”
“You may lose your ego and run away.”
Just like in Paol Dungeon.
There is always a possibility of losing one’s mind and becoming a monster again.
“Well, even if I turn into a monster, I’m not scared… Because Ariel will do whatever it takes, just like back then.”
“Are you okay with that?”
If I hadn’t stood by, Marie might not have ended up like this.
When asked that question, Marie laughed bitterly.
“Thanks to that incident, she was able to reunite with her sister… And she was able to be with Ariel… Wow, more than anything… Ariel made me feel guilty, Jo, even if it was just a little, I was happy…..”
“…Happy?”
“Well, that’s….. Ariel doesn’t feel guilty towards Miss Claire, right…?”
“That’s right.”
“That’s why I feel a little superior.”
“……Hmm.”
I’m not sure what you mean.
I think Marie also started to have somewhat twisted tastes after hanging out with Claire…. Is this what it means to be faithful and silent…? .
Well, let’s put Mari’s tastes aside for now, and it looks like she doesn’t really care about what’s going on at the time.
She feels reassured by that alone.
“To return to the story, the Demon King will be resurrected in two years, so we have to prepare for that time…. So, we won’t be able to pay much attention to it from now on.”
“I see… I’m fine… Ariel also cares about me, so she doesn’t have to worry about me… Ariel just needs to do what she has to do…”
-Kkwaak
I felt even stronger pressure from her hand.
When she realized it, her fingers were intertwined and intertwined.
“I will care about you that much….”
Marie said so.
“Master~, how do you like this outfit?”
The sound of bells was heard.
When I turn my head towards the sound, there is Claire.
Fox ears.
Terminology…… In other words, Kitsunemimi in Japanese.
A bra made of animal fur covers important parts of the chest.
The narrow underwear is somehow covering the groin area.
However, the cleavage, belly button, etc. Are clear.
There is something like a fur scarf with bells covering the neck, but it cannot be said to have much meaning. Rather, it only further highlights the perversion.
In the middle of this extremely naked appearance, the fur of the fox’s tail is flowing.
What mechanism does it operate by? … I stopped thinking about it because I didn’t really want to imagine it.
More than that.
“Miss Claire, what are you doing now?”
A cold voice.
Marie is looking at Claire with cold eyes.
Now that she thought about it, she had momentarily forgotten that Marie was right next to her.
“Uh, Miss Marie…?”
She was Marie. She was Claire. She didn’t seem to know that she was there.
She absentmindedly took out her watch and looked at Marie and me alternately.
“There’s still time left until my shift… Why is Miss Marie here…?”
“That’s right. There’s still time left until my shift shift… but why did I meet Miss Claire?”
Marie smiled.
“Can you tell me the details, Miss Claire?”
Still, the hands of the clock turn.
Before I knew it, three days had passed.
“Do you know what, Miss Marie? I think the black tea grown in the principality has a deeper flavor.”
While I was looking for directions with a lantern, I heard Claire’s voice from behind.
“It seems like it’s being traded at a fairly high price in the market. Since it’s an imported product, it doesn’t seem like that much is coming into the empire….”
“So?”
“Well, I went home once last time too…? My mother said she was going to buy some new tea leaves, and she said she would send me some too…?”
“So?”
“Uh, yes… So I thought, why not try drinking it together with Miss Marie?”
“Sorry, Miss Claire. I’m not interested in tea.”
“Well, yes… I see…”
Claire pursed his lips, slurring his words.
If you look back, Marie’s expression is very expressionless.
Would you say it’s blunt?
Should I say it’s cold?
“…Miss Marie, are you not short of money?”
“Not much.”
“I found a pretty ring a while ago… Look, isn’t this pretty? Miss Marie, would you like it…?”
“I don’t like it because my fingers get cramped.”
“How about a dress? I’ll give you a dress as a gift…! There’s a tailor who made the current emperor’s clothes…!”
“I don’t have any plans to go to church.”
“…Do you want to give me s*xy underwear? Do you want to seduce Ariel?”
“…….”
-Wow!
Marie, unable to bear it any longer, punched Claire in the face.
A bright red palm print was engraved on Claire’s cheek.
“Miss Marie… your hands are really spicy… it feels good….”
“One day.”
“Yes?”
“I made a mistake, so I’ll extend it for another day.”
“Now, wait! Miss Marie…! I’m sorry! I was wrong! That’s it…!”
Claire clung to Marie’s arm, but Marie shook her arm away as if she was annoyed.
It started three nights ago.
Marie was angry at Claire who appeared wearing perverted clothes.
-“Miss Claire… Do you know the current situation…? This is the middle of enemy territory.”
-“But what on earth are you doing…? You’re just playing around…?”
-“Isn’t it more meaningful in that situation, Miss Marie?”
-“If my master has piled up something, I was wondering if I could take it out.”
-“After all, I am Ariel’s property.”
-“Ariel’s girlfriend is me.”
-“There is no need for Miss Claire.”
-“You’re jealous, Miss Marie.”
– “She just doesn’t like me seducing Ariel first.”
Even in that situation, Claire proudly scratched Marie.
When you think this is going to lead to a fight,
Marie looked at me and said.
-“Ariel, tell Miss Claire not to move.”
-“…What?”
-“Quickly.”
Marie urged me, so I followed her,
-“Ugh…, What…? It’s not moving…”
-“Miss Claire inscribed a contract herself. A contract that becomes Ariel’s property.”
-“…When Ariel gives an order, you have no choice but to listen. Because possessions cannot go against their owners.”
-“Now, wait a minute, Miss Marie…What are you trying to do…”
-“Actually, I expected it to some extent… I thought that if it were the vulgar Miss Claire… She might do something like this…”
-“Whether Miss Claire holds hands with Ariel, kisses her, or is pregnant with her child… It’s all fine.”
-“But, putting Ariel in even the slightest danger… I can’t forgive….”
-“Miss Marie, that thing in your hand, no way…”
-“It’s a chastity belt.”
-“I prepared because I thought something like this might happen.”
-“…I could hear Ms. Claire’s tent very well because it was right next to me. She was overly self-consoling…”
-“I thought it was a monkey.”
-“No, Miss Marie…!”
-“That much…!”
-“Hang in there, Miss Claire.”
-“Miss Claire is a human, not a monkey, right?”
Just like that, Claire was fitted with a chastity belt.
Made of metal, it was truly the perfect chastity belt.
And the key is…… Marie is holding it.
“I feel like I’m going to die… It’s hell…”
Claire speaks with wide eyes.
Why is she suffering? … Don’t bother trying to understand. Because there are things in the world that you don’t need to know.
“I can see it. Please look to the right.”
Leaving Claire and Marie’s conversation behind, Nina points to a place.
What you see is a long castle wall.
The castle wall continues from the end of the field of view to the end. The extremely tall castle walls were not only on the flat land, but also continued on top of the mountains.
A majestic fortress can be seen beneath the walls.
Anyone can see that it is a military facility. There was no flashy style or sophisticated taste, only functionality was overemphasized, leaving only a crude appearance.
You can see buildings that appear to be barracks, and you can also see things like artillery placed here and there.
Just looking at its appearance is breathtaking. It is filled with an atmosphere that makes it seem like civilians should not enter.
This is a defense district located in the north of Findelnerca County.
Led by the Willot family, a vassal of the Count Findelnerca family, it is where more than half of the private troops of the Count Findelnerca family are concentrated.
At one time, it was built to fight against enemies coming from the north and was also the front line of the count family.
That place is now confined by a barrier.
