Episode 24
“Why the hell are you here…”
“Why are you here? First of all, I visited Count Paslov’s family as a proper guest.”
I shrugged and pointed in Eileen’s direction.
“Rather, it wasn’t me who came on its own, but it was yours, didn’t it?”
“That is…!”
She tried to refute my words, but in the end couldn’t speak.
“…yes that’s right I admit it.”
“Are you admitting it easier than you thought?”
“You’re right, but what can I do? I’m not brazen enough to refute the right words.”
“How dare you say you would have left if you hadn’t been caught, but you’re not brazen.”
“…I’m sorry about that.”
She immediately bowed her head.
“I know. No matter how much I apologize for that, it won’t be enough. I have ruined your honor with my greed.”
“I am aware of it.”
I wondered if I would say useless things just because of my pride, but it wasn’t to that extent.
“Of course, I am not too dissatisfied. As a result, it was an ‘amicable divorce’ due to an agreement with the family. It turned out to be a pretty useful hand.”
“….”
After I made the fuss, the duke’s family announced a new fact to the outside world.
“The two families broke up the marriage amicably under mutual agreement, and the reason was not because of ‘Michael Walpurgis” lack of qualifications.
”
In addition, since he had obtained a card to pressure the ducal family, it was quite a satisfactory result.
Eileen would be the exact opposite.
Then she looked at me with complicated eyes and said.
“Honestly, I still don’t know. I wonder if Mikhail, who I knew exactly who you were, was right…“
What did you think of me?”
“You idiot.”
“Isn’t that too relentless?”
“It has to be.”
There was a moment of cold in her eyes.
“To keep the men around me in check, making a fuss or periodically showering me with inconsiderate gifts…There was absolutely nothing good to think about.”
“It must have been.”
Certainly there were times like that.
It’s a very old thing for me, but it must be quite recent for her… ….
“It was definitely an idiot thing to do. It wouldn’t have been strange for you to get fed up and break off the engagement.”
I said with a smile.
“If only the means chosen weren’t so bad.”
“That is…“
I don’t mean to say that if I had told you earlier, I would have stopped doing those things. But it is true that you could have organized things a bit wiser.”
At least the way she took it wasn’t the best.
“…Yes it was.”
As if she couldn’t deny that, Eileen lowered her head.
I do not intend to say that I am unconditionally right.
I don’t even think so.
Wasn’t it true that when I was young, I showed a bad look that she hated?
But yes.
Either way, there are circumstances.
And in this goddamn aristocratic family, it’s normal to be bitten at the slightest disrespect.
It’s okay if I become the biting side, I have no intention of becoming the biting side.
There is no room for that in the first place.
It’s because I’m not comfortable with what will happen in the future to the extent that I get caught up in such things.
“Isn’t that enough? Anyway, you and I are not tied to each other anymore.”
“….”
At that, she stared blankly at me for a moment.
“Are you really Mikhail?”
“that’s right. If you’re thinking of talking about hidden twins or something… …”
“….”
was it real
I looked at Eileen, who was slightly averting her gaze, with a puzzled expression.
She opened her mouth with a blushing face and spoke in a low voice.
“…That possibility exists. It’s not uncommon for aristocratic families to have such complicated circumstances.”
Could there be such a thing as a brother?
After his father passed away from his mother, he did not take in a second wife.
“It’s your head that’s complicated.”
“You know I just said something very rude, right?”
“Oh, you know what I said.”
“this person…!”
Eileen jumped up with her face flushed red, but soon sat back down.
Then he asked me with a calm expression.
“…So what about Prince Lian?”
“I am washing. Until then, I’ll talk to you roughly.”
No matter how much he was, he couldn’t see the daughter of the duke’s family as a piece of shit.
“So why are you here?”
“…It’s personal.”
“I see.”
A reaction that I just don’t want to talk about.
There’s no reason to ask if you don’t want to talk.
“Of course, as a member of the sword family, I also wanted to see the swordsmanship of other families.”
“fence?”
“Yes swordsmanship.”
I don’t think it’s ‘swordsmanship’. If she had a reason to come here alone… ….
‘It’s none of my business.’
I am no longer engaged to her or anything.
“Of course, from your point of view, I think it might sound a little shameless. but…”
“No, not really.”
Her swordsmanship talent is real.
Considering what will happen in the future, the more power the better.
I have no reason to dislike it at all.
Rather, I even thought that I would like to use it if I could use it… ….
for a moment.
‘Is there anything I can’t use?’
A memory suddenly flashed.
There is a possibility that she may have reached it before returning.
If I could point her in the right direction, which was near the worst… ….
What I get is never small.
After doing a quick calculation in my head, I opened my mouth.
“Eileen.”
“What is it? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?”
“If you came here to learn swordsmanship, you must have come here because you wanted to become stronger.”
“…Is that so?”
She nodded with a puzzled expression.
“Okay, then I’ll give you a chance.”
“yes?”
She tilted her head.
“A chance. what is that… …“
Rian is a pretty stubborn guy. I thought it was unpleasant for you to come to me like this, but it’s never nice.”
“ah…“
The most important thing is the ground rice.
Naturally, I will need to drag her to my liking.
“So let me help you.”
* * *
‘Why is this all of a sudden?’
Arriving at the training ground with Mikhail, she couldn’t hide her confused feeling.
There would have been no good feelings left between them.
So, I wondered if this job would be difficult… ….
‘I’d rather help.’
It was unexpected.
I really didn’t feel any emotions from him right now.
Love and resentment towards oneself.
There is nothing.
Should I even say that I feel like I’m in the middle of the day?
I didn’t know what the hell had happened to change that much.
“Grab the sword first.”
“…Suddenly?”
“That’s what you came for. It would be better to build up your senses in advance to deal with them properly.”
That’s it.
Since it was impossible to refute logically, she calmly held the sword.
‘Yes, this is an opportunity.’
He has never had an equal match.
You know you have talent, but you don’t know how much it is or how much you can grow.
That’s why I want to know.
“He’s coming now.”
As soon as that thought was over, Lian entered the training ground.
A face that doesn’t like it.
“What the hell are you going to do?”
“Check performance.”
“Suddenly what…Huh heh!”
At that time, Lian, who saw Mikhail’s face, stepped back with an uneasy expression.
“hmm…?”
Why are you doing that all of a sudden?
Contrary to his rumored reputation as the ‘next-generation swordsman’, his face is completely bluish.
“That one…! Those eyes!”
“Why are you like this again?”
Mikhail looked at Lian with an expression of absurdity, but Lian looked at him with an expression as if he would burst into foam at any moment.
“My senses are talking. Your eyes are also the eyes when you decorate useless things!”
“What a disturbing sound. Where are those innocent and caring eyes?”
“Did innocent innocents all freeze to death?”
Eileen, who was watching Lian’s outburst, tilted her head.
“Is something wrong?”
“Princess Lindel? Wait a second, if I say you and the princess in this place, ah, it’s crazy… …It didn’t get any better.”
“haha.”
Mikhail laughed.
With a smile that is clearer than anyone else in the world.
“Are you afraid?”
what a bullshit
Eileen thought for a moment before answering.
“I am not afraid.”
a few hours after that.
“Aaaaaaa!”
She shouted, avoiding the pouring magic missiles.
“He said it would give you insight! So I followed you!”
“I didn’t lie.”
Mikhail smiled and pointed to Ryan.
There was Lian, who was avoiding the magic missile by taking brilliant steps.
“There is an opportunity to find out.”
“Fuck!”
Eileen roared.
* * *
Magic Missile is 1 circle.
Of course, the power is insignificant, and it doesn’t matter that much.
However, there is one very useful advantage.
‘It means it’s easy to manipulate.’
Among all magics, the one with the highest degree of freedom of operation was magic missiles, and magic missiles were used freely, attacking gaps at random.
“Don’t write Aurors. Just dodging it purely with bodily reflexes and intuition.”
“What is that…Kyaaak?!”
Aileen, who had splendidly rolled, shouted.
“What the hell are you trying to figure out all of our movements?! You are a wizard!”
“Rather, you know that you are a wizard.”
Observation is our specialty.
Magic begins with theoretically interpreting and gaining insight into the situation.
Of course, not all wizards are like this.
In my case, it’s a bit unusual, because the interpretation and insight aren’t limited to magic.
“I don’t have an eye for swordsmanship. But at least I can see where it doesn’t fit the ‘Manual’ very well.”
Before returning, he was forcibly injected with swordsmanship after matching with a guy who was close to being a grand master.
So it is rather strange that there is no eye to see such things.
“Haha, it’s a good earth.”
Lian, who suddenly participated in the penance once more, screamed and bounced.
‘I’ve been able to avoid it quite a bit.’
It must mean that the time in the past was meaningless.
Ryan was dodging well.
But it wasn’t Eileen’s side at all.
The swordsmanship she was so proud of was severed, and there were traces of being hit by magic missiles all over her body.
She looked blankly at Lian and said.
“…Is there a difference in difficulty level between Prince Lian and me?”
“No it can’t be.”
The number is the same, and both are carefully manipulated and beaten.
If there is a difference… ….
“It’s just that the one with more gaps gets beaten more.”
“Ugh…!”
The magic missile hit her exquisitely, aiming for an opening.
I know very well about her.
In trivial terms, it’s the habit of holding a sword or what kind of situation you prefer… ….
I couldn’t help it.
‘Because I had to kill him.’
yes it used to be
Although she was a puppet without an ego, she was clearly strong.
…it was the sixth
“Tsk.”
When I thought of those days for a while, I clicked my tongue without realizing it.
Around the time Eileen sat down on the ground, I canceled all the magic missiles I had implemented.
“So, did you get enough insight?”
“…Yes, I overdo it.”
She staggered to her feet with a wry smile.
“Compared to me…Prince Lian is fine.”
“What is it?”
as she said
The guy was pretty good except for a few places. He didn’t look particularly tired.
“Yeah, I certainly did. …Unfortunately, it wasn’t the way I wanted it to be.”
what would it be
But I didn’t roll Aileen like this for no reason. I just needed to check her current level.
And I was sure.
It’s not that she doesn’t have flaws, but her innate talent is definitely latent.
just as i expected
“I would have told you, but I would help.”
“Oh, wasn’t this helpful? No, then what is this?”
“I just did this for fun.”
“….”
에일렌이 천하의 개새끼를 보는 듯한 표정으로 날 쳐다봤다.
Whatever.
“Let me introduce you to my master.”
I didn’t know anything about her exactly, but one thing was clear.
before regression.
She could have been better.
A little more could have been helpful to me or us.
But I couldn’t.
so.
‘I make it like that now.’
Great mage who transcends by regression
