chapter 20
Episode 20. Mutuje (15)
Nothing was out of hand all day long.
I was kicked out by Elias just staring at the ceiling blankly.
I don’t know what spirit I came to the dormitory with.
To that extent, what Maya showed me today was a bit shocking.
I can’t come to my senses.
If I went up to the stadium with this spirit, no matter how hard I was, I might be beaten and blown away.
I need to wake up, but it’s not easy.
After….
Let’s move our bodies at least.
At times like this, moving your body is the best.
I ran out of the academy and headed to the ‘sports facility’.
It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but thanks to Elias’ care, it’s clean and dust-free.
The only place I’ve ever created, just for me.
“Shall we start with the bench?”
To put it bluntly, ‘gym facilities’ were just gyms.
There was no systematic and scientific way to exercise, let alone a facility like this.
Even places that are called famous houses are just running. Run with a rock. It’s all about cutting through the air.
So I created this gym.
What. Although I write alone.
I worked out like crazy for the first time in a while.
Although I mainly did upper body and chest exercises.
Hmm. Shall we bring Paul?
I want to bring back Lucas, who quarreled with me yesterday.
I think it’s worth cultivating at least once if it’s the grit of foul and the roughness of Lucas’ unknown cause.
Okay. Decided.
I’m going to have to bring Lucas a beater.
You’ll thank me later.
Perhaps.
After exhausting myself from exercising for several hours, I felt like my thoughts were clearing up a bit.
Maya is obsessed with me…. I don’t know why yet, but I’ll probably find out soon.
It can’t be real love.
Maybe.
This is not a problem.
Rather, the problem lies elsewhere.
What do I think of Maya?
Do I love her?
No.
So what does she think of her?
I’m not sure about this.
I want to trust you.
I don’t think she’s a bad girl.
If you ask her if she’s a good girl, she’ll say no.
So what do I think of Maya?
How should I think?
My worries only deepened.
******************
The video that Elias’ subordinates recorded on the crystal ball was shocking in many ways.
Recently, all sorts of strange things have suddenly happened, so I sent her subordinates just in case, but I never thought I’d record something like this.
“…”
Somehow I thought Nico couldn’t concentrate today.
So I tried to hear what she was worried about, but since she couldn’t answer properly, I thought she was sick and sent her back to the dormitory.
I never imagined that such a thing would happen.
“Yes…. It’s a big deal.”
I can’t believe the owner is crying out for love.
And that in front of a lot of people.
I’m sure by now you’re acting stupid, thinking over and over again.
That person is proud in front of you, has a bit of bravado and pretends to be serious, but in reality he is not.
Unexpectedly, there were a lot of tears.
‘I’ll have to put this crystal ball in the safe.’
She wanted to destroy it with all her heart.
She may not mean it, but she still didn’t want to see her master shouting love to others.
I knew a day like this would come someday, but I never thought it would be today.
In the end, Elias knew he would regret it.
She wasn’t advising that then she did.
Shouldn’t she have just told her to break up since it’s clear she’s up to something?
I don’t think she’ll ever hear me say that….
She must have at least paid some attention.
Still, she couldn’t speak ill of Maya Mayer to her master.
If Master was going to hook up with someone, Maya Mayer was one of her great options.
Because Elias’ top priority is his master’s happiness.
She couldn’t say anything that might disturb his happiness.
“Where is the master now?”
“You went to the gym.”
As expected, it was as expected.
A healthy mind dwells in a healthy body. The owner, who is a sports maniac enough to have lived with the word ” in his mouth, solved the trouble by moving like that whenever he had a problem.
There’s no way he’ll stay still in the dormitory with his personality like that.
“Prepare the wagon.”
In the end, Elias also headed to the gym.
The owner brought clothes to change into.
*********************
“Huh? What are you doing here?”
“I heard that Nico-sama was here, so I brought some clothes.”
“Ah. Thank you. I was still drenched in sweat, so it was hard to go back.”
I came out in a hurry without thinking, and I was in a bit of trouble because I didn’t have any clothes to change into.
Elias was so competent that sometimes I felt like he was looking inside her head.
“Wait a minute. I’ll wash up and come out soon.”
“You can wash slowly.”
“Okay. It’s over in five minutes.”
It’s rather nonsense when a guy’s shower takes more than five minutes.
All you have to do is apply soap anyway.
You don’t even need shampoo.
Because you can finish everything with just soap.
The shower facilities in the gym I created were also perfect.
You can’t find such a modern shower facility anywhere else.
Male/female were not separated, but they were common, but what? Contrary to what I expected when I first built it, it ended up being my own facility, so it doesn’t matter.
After she washed up in an instant and came out in her underwear, Elias handed over her clothes.
My cheeks look strangely red, but what are you ashamed of among the men?
“Have you had dinner?”
“Not yet. You?”
“Me too.”
“Then let’s eat together. Shall we go to the VIP room?”
“Rather than there, let’s just go to my house.”
“That’s not bad either.”
I’ve been thinking about going to the department store’s VIP room for the first time in a while, but Elias’ house isn’t bad either.
Because the cook at that house is not average.
I personally want to scout him for a restaurant in a department store, but he says he’s loyal to Elias, but he can’t be forced to bring him.
“I guess today’s work is over?”
“It seems to be entering a stable period.”
“Really? So, can I not go now?”
“…Not yet.”
“What. It’s a bit unfortunate.”
Suddenly, there will be things you have to do yourself.
I have to settle down quickly so that I feel comfortable when I move.
We still have a long way to go.
“How about the Hardenberg side?”
“The Sejaks have started their activities. I think we will be ready before the finals.”
“I can set the time.”
“Because I started preparing from last year.”
“The question is whether the princess will tolerate it….”
“I have no choice but to do it.”
“I guess so.”
The princess might not like it, but she has to make her emperor even if she is forced to do so.
She is not just for her sake, but for all of us.
“It’s kind of sad to think that you will still be hated.”
“… Did you care about that?”
“What steel am I?”
“Yes. I thought so.”
I don’t think he’s particularly a man of steel.
I’m just struggling to survive.
“All right. Let’s go and have dinner.”
“Okay.”
If I continue like this, the day will come when the world will be completely saved and I will no longer be needed.
When that time comes, I will really do nothing and just play.
Go on a trip and spend a little money.
There’s a good chance you’ll be with this guy.
Maya, well, go and think about it then.
“The meat is very different. All of you chefs are good, but the meat is always lacking?”
“Eat your vegetables. If you only eat meat every day, you will be constipated.”
“… A story that even my nanny never told me….”
“I am not Nico-sama’s nanny.”
“Yes, yes. You are good.”
Right now, we just have to treasure the time we share trivial things like this.
After this time, it will be difficult again.
*****************
I arrived at the stadium in a wagon provided by the academy.
Separate stadiums for semi-finals and finals.
I am resting in the waiting room for a while.
The opponent does not know.
I really don’t know this.
It could be my older brother or someone else.
I’m sure I’ll meet my brother at least once, but I don’t know if it’ll be the semifinals or the finals.
As much as this is rotten, even the rotten academy professors thoroughly protect it.
Isn’t it obvious that it’s a game that really high-ranking people are interested in?
The preparation is perfect.
The preparations are only gauntlets, robes, and pills.
I loosened up my body yesterday, and now it’s enough just to go rampage.
“Nico Kruger Youngsik!”
“Yes!”
“Are you ready?”
“It is over.”
“Then you can follow me.”
Follow the guide and walk down the hallway.
I checked the gauntlet and robe once again as I walked.
I put the pill back firmly between my molars and let out a sigh.
Come on. Is to attend
I walk through the dark hallway towards the entrance that is gradually getting brighter.
The closer you get, the louder the murmur gets.
A faint smell of blood.
The heat rising slowly.
Information that lets you know that this is not an ordinary place is slowly imprinted in your head.
I unknowingly clenched my fist.
After passing through the entrance, the first thing that caught my eye was the wide square arena.
Tens of thousands of people were screaming in the audience seats surrounding the square stadium, far away. I could see him on a podium in the highest place.
I finally saw him.
My main enemy who made me suffer.
The final boss of this world.
“Loyalty to the Emperor!!”
The existence that everyone exalts.
The Emperor.
