Episode 187. But then… XX appeared.
There is still one week left until the Magic Banquet. Each bachelor’s department is busy preparing for the grand event.
By now, most of the work had been completed and only the post-production work remained, so my busy mind was somewhat relieved.
Around that time, guests involved in the magic banquet began to arrive one by one.
“It’s already been five years. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Alighieri.”
A man said, wrinkling his gull-shaped moustache.
A ring with a jewel in it, a necklace with a gold sheen, and a man wearing a pure white suit that looked luxurious just by looking at it were sitting on the sofa.
The man who seems to have no trouble spending his money is Cloyce Delaware, a Delaware resident.
It seemed as if money had been applied not only to her clothes but also to her body, her hair was also golden.
“I want to see our Crona, but unfortunately I can’t because I’m a student council member.”
The woman sitting next to him said with a smile.
Luna Delaware, Cloyce’s wife. She also wore a luxurious white dress and blonde hair, and looked good for her middle age.
Their daughter, Crona Delaware, seemed to have inherited her blond hair from them.
“How’s your daughter doing these days, Gerard? I heard she’s quite good at handling the power of ice now.”
“huh.”
Clois smiled and spoke to the man sitting across from her. Gerard, the head of Chainsilver, only made a bewildered expression rather than giving an honest answer.
“There’s no need to look at me so sadly. We’re not that far apart.”
“For some reason, I get tired every time I talk to you.”
“Hahaha… It’s been a while since we last met, what a pity.”
Clois was also one of the people who used to stick with Gerard. She was particularly smart and often explained information that people didn’t know.
Thanks to that right head, he was able to rise to the position of a capable top player.
But as the explanation became too long, it became too long to explain.
If I listened a little longer, I would have fallen asleep on my own.
“Don’t worry, I will never fall asleep.”
The only one who didn’t fall asleep after hearing Cloyce’s explanation was his wife, Luna.
This is a part where you can roughly guess why the two fell in love.
“That’s why I chose you!”
“Hehehe. You have a charm that attracts me too.”
The Delaware couple suddenly hugged each other, making everyone around them cringe. Gerard could only laugh at the sight.
Then, Clois suddenly looked at Gerard and her expression hardened.
“ah….”
Clois herself had a lifelong companion. But the seat next to Gerard was empty.
Luna, his wife, also subtly confirmed that part and then moved away from her husband.
“I’m sorry. Did we do something wrong?”
“I’m fine. So don’t worry about it.”
Chloe and Luna’s expressions were downcast.
While they, as well as Ludciel and his friends, were both still alive, Gerard’s wife was the only one missing.
In that situation, Gerard seemed to be very bitter.
“Leila went to protect Jenny until the very end. I’m sure she didn’t regret it until the very end.”
“….”
“Jenny is no longer the Jenny she used to be. She has gained control of the Silver Age thanks to the help of the friends she made here.”
My daughter has grown up and overcomes the power she once considered a curse.
Leila, who sacrificed herself for her daughter, must be smiling from afar.
So rather than lamenting, it was right to watch the children grow up.
“It’s not like Leila will come back alive just because I’m stubborn.”
“Anyway… it seems you succeeded in controlling it as rumored. Because of those ice powers, you had to chase away all the people who wanted to see your daughter.”
“If that weren’t the case, those people would have been in danger.”
It was a time when Jenny couldn’t control the Silver Age.
Since Jenny happened to be a princess, there were countless nobles who wanted to see her.
Even though the crown prince of the empire was one of them, he had no choice but to send him back.
Not only will you freeze to death if you touch it carelessly, but your terrible actions from the Silver Age will be exposed.
“I couldn’t let the power that turned a village into an ice age in the middle of summer get so close to it.”
It was quite dangerous to get caught doing that.
Gerard had to use every means at his disposal to keep the news out of the royal family’s ears.
That’s why I had to unconditionally refuse to meet him, even if he was the crown prince.
Of course, there was a risk of suspicion, but the Emperor did not want Gerard to fall from power.
Because no other family contributes as much to the Empire’s power as the Chainsilver.
“But you’d better be careful. He may be a saint now, but I feel like he’s changed a lot from before.”
“I know, too.”
Suddenly-
Just then, another guest came into the reception room. Clois, Luna, and Gerard all stood up as soon as they saw them.
Because they were the children of the emperor of this country.
“Please meet His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess.”
“It’s an honor to meet you.”
Gerard and Clois reflexively bow their heads and greet each other. Luna also shows her courtesy with a polite attitude.
“You guys are here first.”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you two.”
The Emperor’s eldest daughter, Meloin Fried Divine. The second son, Charis Fried Divine.
The princess and prince, dressed in beautiful dresses and suits, greet them.
Although their reputations were not bad, Gerard, who held high power in the empire, knew their true identity.
“It’s especially nice to meet you, Sir Gerard.”
“Nice to meet you too, Your Highness.”
Among them, Charis approached Gerard and extended his hand. Gerard, who was shaking hands with him, had to hold back the frown between his eyebrows.
Because I felt a bad look on his face.
* * * * *
There are only a few days left until the Magic Banquet.
With only a week left, all preparations were being finalized.
Guests and participants have already arrived and are waiting for the festival to begin.
Information has already been received that several members of the royal family have arrived in Alighieri.
It’s almost time for our newspaper department to finish all of its work.
“So why do you have this?”
The manuscript of the Nobel Record that the newspaper department decided to release for the festival.
I left it to Muto, and Muto left it to Nevia.
But why did Ruska and Angela come to me with that?
A strange thought crosses my mind.
“Actually… Nevia gave it to Crona-nee, and then I received it from Crona-nee.” “Then I received it from Angela and used it.”
In short, it went all the way to the student council. Is that what you mean?
It means that all of those guys wrote the manuscript while relaying it.
Even including the fox sisters standing before my eyes.
Is this okay?
“I heard that you are the original owner of this. Is it really okay to write like this?”
“Crona-sister and Nevia said it was okay to just use it roughly… so my sister and I tried it together.”
I got the manuscript back from Ruska and Angela. I looked through it and there didn’t seem to be any tears or missing parts.
The problem is what it says.
Since it involves me, the spirits, the student council, and even the fox sisters, I can’t even guess what kind of content it will contain.
“But… it doesn’t matter. I just need to fill up my quota so that I’m not late.”
“But there are several other writers besides us who wrote it. Don’t you think it’s a bit confusing and difficult to understand?”
“But I’m saying it doesn’t really matter. The literary society probably doesn’t think we’ll write it properly anyway.”
This period overlapped with the festival period and the evaluation period.
Unless you’ve completed your mission like Trisha and I, you’re in a situation where you have to do both at the same time.
There’s no way the cadets would write properly at a time like this. So Trisha contacted them directly and…
“I told you to just write however you want. You don’t have to fill in the required amount.”
“Then that’s good.”
“But this is just for the festival display. If the content is a mess, won’t your newspaper department be ridiculed?”
“There are ways to do it. Just keep it a secret which club wrote it.”
“under…”
Ruska stuck out her tongue and made a dumbfounded expression.
Honestly, I think it’s incredibly vulgar.
If there is no pen name, you cannot carelessly insult the author, but it is against morality to publish without even revealing the minimum name.
but…
“There is information that they did it this way during the last performance. Even then, people said, ‘Haha… I guess it was written by kids,’ and moved on.”
Although it wasn’t as much of a relay as we were, he said he put a lot of effort into writing it back then.
But nothing happened and it passed quietly.
This is because, in the first place, the works prepared for the festival are not only those of students.
Just like a college festival where famous celebrities are invited, there is a main event at this year’s Magic Festival as well.
People tend to pay more attention to it than to other things.
“Anyway, we’ve written everything up to 90%. Now it’s up to you to finish it.”
“Thanks for your help.”
“Then, Radon Oppa. We have something to do, so we’ll be going now.”
“Okay, I’ll make you some rice balls later.”
Angela would go to meet the guests as a saint, and Ruska would be serving as the department head’s assistant.
I went back to my dorm to check the returned manuscript.
In that state, I laid the manuscript on my pillow and lay down on the bed.
`I wonder how they wrote it…`
I closed my eyes in a half-believing and half-doubting state.
Then, a new world contained in the manuscript unfolded before my eyes.
This effect remained because it was not ordinary manuscript paper, but manuscript paper from the Nobel Records.
Of course, it is not easily available.
And then a few hours later, I opened my eyes again and… expressed that feeling.
“Fuck.”
It’s literal.
I expected it to be mediocre, but… this is the craziest thing ever.
First of all, it starts with dark content as written by the spirits.
It was developing into a dark fantasy story about people dying… but then the genre suddenly changed.
The main character, who had been killing people until just now, suddenly starts talking about humanity and falls in love with a human. That’s how the morning drama begins.
And then suddenly it turns into a wasteland…
There it changes into healing water again…
`How many times have you drifted?`
What’s even more surprising is that a character based on Jenny appears without any plausibility.
That character falls in love with the main character again…
It was obvious who wrote this part.
`This is why you shouldn’t change the production team arbitrarily.`
This is exactly what happens when a well-planned movie falls apart when the director changes.
It was to the point where it went off course by turning a curve and even flew all the way into space.
Moreover, it is filled with provocative content in an attempt to make it fun, even if it is forced.
It’s dangerous if children see it.
“How on earth do I end this….”
It was up to me to decide the climax.
But we’ve already come a long way from being able to fix everything with just this one last part.
In times like this, the best way is to give up on training and go with the flow.
That too is a stimulus that can overturn all of this.
`It’s not that there is no way.`
There’s nothing I can do.
There is no choice but to resort to trickery.
I got out of bed and sat down at my desk, thinking about that groundbreaking material.
I laid out the manuscript paper in front of me, picked up the pen, and started writing.
This is a cheat key like ramen soup in the novel world.
