Episode 282. Summer Break – The Queen of Snowstorms (3)
I felt like I was in the middle of a huge storm.
Jenny removed all of her face makeup, put on a cardigan, and went outside.
The sound of the waves gently lapping the sand.
Jenny, sitting in front of a sandy beach with a great view of the ocean, sighed.
“I’m embarrassed.”
It was a well-known fact that her makeup skills were poor.
I couldn’t understand why they needed that makeup when they were telling scary stories, but it was disheartening to experience it myself.
‘I thought it was fine when I first saw it…’
Of course, when you put on makeup, you look in the mirror. Then you can check the result.
But even after seeing that, how did that result come about?
Moreover, it was only after Radon showed him the mirror that he realized the terrible results.
It’s really strange.
When you see it yourself, it looks fine, but when someone else sees it, it looks strange.
As if he couldn’t smell his own scent.
Is this what is commonly called art disease?
“still….”
Jenny was having a good time right now.
I was content just to let go of all the burdens I had been carrying in my mind and hang out with my friends.
Now, he has 100% control over the Silver Age, has completely cut off his attachment to his mother, and has even exterminated his arch-enemy, the Viold family.
But that doesn’t mean all the burdens disappear.
The inauguration ceremony of the Emperor will be held soon. Jenny, who will soon become the princess, will also attend the event.
She is no longer a princess, but a princess now.
Although she gained absolute power at the top of the empire, it was a huge problem for a girl like Jenny who was not corrupt.
Because he knows very well how much weight he will be carrying in the position he will be taking on.
Will he be able to live up to the expectations of the people of the empire?
Should I make my own decisions and take action from now on?
‘Mom, can I do it?’
Dead people don’t speak. No answers are heard.
Instead… .
“You were here?”
If there was someone to do it with, there was one.
* * * * *
Jenny, who was tired of her ghostly makeup, quickly removed it out of embarrassment.
Then, I hurriedly grabbed my cardigan and went outside.
Of course, Jenny is the only girl who is afraid of ghosts, but can create ghost-like elements better than anyone else.
It wasn’t hard to guess where Jenny had gone.
“You were here?”
I found Jenny sitting in front of the sandy beach.
A sea breeze blows gently through a quiet space where no one comes.
“ah….”
Jenny looked like she was going to ask how he found her… but quickly gave up.
Just as expected.
“Radon anticipated how I would act.”
“huh.”
“Then you also knew that I can’t wear makeup?”
“It’s not just that you can’t do it, it’s that you’re cursed.”
At the end, there was a sound of her stomach being scratched, but Jenny held it back. It was an inexcusable fact.
“So Radon is… someone from that world?”
“….”
I predicted all their information and behavior patterns.
Up until now, I have been making rational decisions and acting accordingly.
Since I know Jenny so well, Jenny herself couldn’t help but be confident.
“The God of Destruction said in the imaginary world that Radon knows everything.”
He deceived you while knowing everything… It is said that the God of Destruction incited him to do so.
It seems like something happened while I was lying there, half torn apart.
“What do you think about me like that?”
I asked cautiously, wondering if maybe he was bored.
Because knowing all the information would sound almost like omnipotence.
In fact, I’ve toyed with them several times to get out of crises.
But Jenny and the others denied the words of the God of Destruction.
“I’m sure Radon knew all about it. But he didn’t just ignore us. He guided our story well. It’s a blessing for us.”
Jenny was the first to realize that the God of Destruction’s words were nonsense.
It’s strange that she doesn’t take my side, considering she’s like that.
She continued speaking with a smile.
“And did you expect me to say this?”
“yes.”
“So, is our story spreading throughout Radon’s world?”
It is not sold at a widespread level, but for money.
It seems like there might be some talk of a violation of portrait rights, but if that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have come to this world.
“Besides me… there must be many people who know about you.”
“So how did we get the word out?”
To be exact, it is a work that features Lyman as the main character, but since they are also main characters, they are relatively well-known.
Mary is known as a crazy woman reminiscent of the Joker, and Ruska is known as a shy lady who pretends to be tough on the outside.
That too… , in that sense.
Especially on Pixar.
“Nebia… was originally destined to die?”
Since he was a villain from the beginning, it was natural that his ending was decided.
If I hadn’t been there, it would have gone as it was.
“Then me?”
Jenny also had many nicknames among users.
In a positive sense, she has an image of an ice queen overcoming trauma, but in a negative sense… .
“A coward… a ghost?”
“That’s what it’s called.”
I didn’t necessarily give a detailed explanation.
Because her fan art is full of very bizarre things related to ghosts.
On Earth, it’s just a common meme, but Jenny and the others will react badly to it.
Because I don’t have the tolerance to accept that.
“Hahahaha…. If I get the chance, I want to go to that world? Hahahaha…!”
Jenny clenched her fists and released her magic power.
The air seemed to become cold just by releasing it slightly.
But Jenny quickly calmed down and asked.
“Then in that story… does it also mention me ascending to the throne as princess?”
Since I had watched all the endings to the point of being sick of them, I also knew what would happen to the other characters.
However, among them, there was no case of the Chain Silver family ascending to the imperial throne.
When I told her that fact, Jenny looked pitiful.
“I see… I thought you could know what to do in advance.”
“Even I don’t know all the futures. In the first place, the futures I knew were cut off after the magic dance.”
That was the last time it shared a similar plot to the main story.
Right now, at this very moment, it was a future that originally did not exist.
“A new future begins now. So you have to decide for yourself and not get caught up in something.”
It was a natural truth that arose as we lived our lives.
No one has a perfect answer.
“I see.”
“Are you worried about ascending to the throne as princess?”
“Yes. I know well what kind of fate the people who sat on the throne of the royal family met.”
The end of Emperor Carmine’s children, including Machia.
Jenny was worried that they too would become corrupt at some point and start to torment the people of the empire.
People’s reactions vary.
Considering Jenny’s skills and academic performance, I’ll give her a high rating, but there will also be many reactions such as how a beginner like that can possibly be fit to be a princess.
If we consider the world where information technology is advanced, it is similar to the divided opinions on SNS.
For now, she could only indirectly infer the reaction. That alone was enough to make Jenny anxious.
Jenny has no tolerance for gossip, so if the world were powered by social media, she would have lost her mind a long time ago.
‘It was for nothing that the Great Sage did not share the archives throughout the continent.’
If we continue to study the archives, this place too can become an information age like Earth.
But it’s still too early to accept that.
The people of this world are not mentally prepared for it.
Jenny, who is about to become the princess, must make up her mind faster than anyone else.
This was Jenny’s homework from now on.
“Can I endure that oppression alone?”
“Who says you’re alone? There are so many people next to you.”
It is humans who carefully tend to flowers, but it is also humans who cause flowers to rot.
Jenny’s future task will be to deal with such people, but she has a strong support system.
Friends I’ve met so far at Alighieri.
and….
“You don’t have to keep calling out for your dead mother. You’re strong enough to overcome it.”
There is even a boy who knows Jenny better than anyone else.
Jenny asked the boy, holding his arms with both hands.
“Then from now on, we will be together forever.”
The beach looked even brighter today.
The stars that decorated the night sky made the sea and the sky more splendid.
There are many people who rot flowers, but the starlight is beautiful.
No matter how much one tries to tarnish the stars, humans cannot pluck them from the sky.
The human heart, impressed by that star, is bound to change.
“radon….”
Jenny sticks her face out with a possessed look in her eyes.
And I couldn’t help but flinch at the fact that their lips were getting closer and closer.
But it was unavoidable. It was the time when I finally gave up and accepted it.
“What are you two doing there?”
“Eek!”
Jenny was startled by a sudden sound from behind and ended up shoving her mouth into my chest instead of my mouth.
It was they who had participated in the terrifying story that interrupted that historic moment.
“I was so surprised!”
“I’m sorry for surprising you.”
“But we don’t feel good about seeing that.”
“Hahahaha! Dude, don’t be a jerk!”
Ruska, Nevia, and Mary give each other evil looks.
Jenny was annoyed by that, but she questioned why they were each holding something.
“Wait, why are you guys holding that?”
“Why? If not now, then I’ll never have the chance to try it.”
Each person was carrying a metal bucket on the table, a basket, and a bowl.
The table was set up in the middle of the sandy beach, making it the perfect setting for a late-night snack.
And what came out of the basket was a wavy square surface.
Everyone wondered what this was, but… I was the only one who knew much about it.
“I heard that this food only exists in the Radon world. How do you eat it?”
“How does it taste?”
“Oooh! A new bug flavor?”
Leaving Mary behind, I explained it to her in detail.
As you can tell just by looking at it, it was ‘ramen’.
Of course, similar foods exist in this world.
Although it is mainly found in restaurants that adopt the culture of the Eastern Continent, it was disappointing that the unique flavor of Earth food was not felt.
“I’ll teach you how to cook.”
Since there is no gas range here, I cut down some wood to make a fire and used magic to light a fire.
Place an iron container on top to use as a pot and pour water into it.
When the water starts to boil, add the noodles and wait until they are cooked through.
“Is it something like spaghetti?”
“It looks no different from the noodles they sell at restaurants.”
While each person was leaving their impressions, the noodles were cooked to perfection.
If it were regular ramen, I would just add the soup and boil it, but this isn’t that kind of ramen.
I immediately put out the fire and poured water on the floor.
“Why are you pouring that all of a sudden?”
“Weren’t you cooking noodles?”
As expected, they had doubts, but I ignored them and continued on.
It’s time to pour ‘that’ into the iron pot where the water has disappeared and only the boiled noodles remain.
I held the little jar containing ‘it’.
“Are you sure the people of Yeongji made it well?”
“Yes. It was created by capturing the knowledge contained in Radon’s head.”
To be exact, it is the knowledge that Dantia left to me before he became a Buddha.
Anyway, when I pour the liquid inside the jar, the red liquid mixes with the cotton.
“It looks somehow delicious.”
“That’s right.”
Mary and Ruska just sniffed at the smell and stared blankly.
I feel like I’m intoxicated by the spicy scent of Aegis.
The boiled noodles were well mixed with the liquid and turned completely bright red.
The noodles were each placed in a bowl and placed on the table.
“Are you done?”
“No matter how I look at it, it looks like spaghetti.”
“Yes, except for this twisted thing.”
“Can I eat it now?”
To those who still felt unfamiliar with it… I said while taking a bite.
Originally, chopsticks would have been used, but due to the nature of the world view, a fork had to be used.
“You can eat now.”
I passed the noodle dish without a second thought.
At that moment… .
‘Yes! This is the taste!!’
Living in this world, forgotten senses come back to me anew.
How long has it been since this happened?
This sweet taste I ate twice a week in my studio apartment.
I wish they could taste this best flavor too.
“I don’t think there’s any problem. I read your mind through Mr. Radon’s voice.”
Nevia, who analyzed my voice, gives a definitive answer.
Of course. Why would I come up with some strange dish to assassinate you?
“Really? Then let’s eat it before it gets cold.”
-thank you for this food!
…with those words, they took a bite of the noodles.
At that moment, the spiciness of the liquid stimulated their nerves through their tongues.
“Is it delicious?”
“Hmm~ Is this the food from the world where Radon lived?”
“It’s a little spicy, though….”
“Hahahaha!”
The noodles are passed down the throat from time to time.
They had delighted expressions on their faces at the taste that was more tempting than they had expected.
Not yet….
“Wait a minute, isn’t this a bit too spicy?”
“Uhm…. Is there no water?”
“Ssuhhh… Me too…, my tongue feels hot.”
“Friends. I feel weird…! My stomach feels like it’s boiling…!”
Their faces are getting redder and their noses are running.
Soon something terrible happened.
“Ah…, this won’t work! Water, water!!!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!! It’s spicy!! It’s spicy!!”
“Haaah! Haaah! Water! Ice!”
“Gyaaaahh …
Everyone starts screaming as if they’ve swallowed hot lava.
Among them, Mary writhered like a bug being incinerated.
“Radon!! What the heck is going on!!”
“You son of a bitch! I told you it was going to be delicious!!”
“You’re fooling us again? We won’t let you off easy!!”
“Hey buddy!! Save me!!”
Those girls suddenly started questioning me.
But I was not at fault.
“Is it really this spicy?”
“What the heck??”
Isn’t it delicious?
Because they just said it was delicious.
Above all, I… .
“It’s delicious, isn’t it?”
I didn’t lie.
“I only wanted delicious things! I didn’t want anything like this! Ss …
“No… How on earth do you eat this stuff! Are you human?”
“Water…, water…!”
“Hey friend…!!”
Everyone either jumps into the sea with a pitiful expression or turns their tongue cold with Jenny’s Silver Age.
However, everyone lost their energy and fell over because of the spicy taste that did not go away easily.
“They are weak friends.”
Unlike them, I ate every last bit of the noodles.
And he asked the women who had fallen down.
“If you can’t eat it, you can eat it too?”
Their eyes widened at the idea of eating leftover food.
Their expressions were like a mountain of things they wanted to say to me, but I swallowed everything they said.
“….”
“….”
“….”
“….”
Then, those who had been suffering from the spiciness suddenly began to look much better.
As if he had achieved his goal.
-Okay, that’s fine.
It seemed as if he was saying something to himself.
