Chapter 333
To use a modern analogy, Harriet seemed to be thinking about the possibility that someone could hack into the Warp Gate server.
It won’t be impossible. If you have knowledge of warp gate design, you will be able to create a private warp gate and it will function exactly like a conventional warp gate.
Also, warp gates are connected to all warp gates.
Suppose you can create a warp gate that connects you to another world.
Then, the conclusion is drawn that even if only one gate is built, everyone who passes through it can be scattered to the continent.
There are a lot of possibilities that you don’t have to make.
If only one warp gate is made into a warp gate that connects to the other world.
All warp gates on the continent can cause monsters from the other world to pour out.
It felt like walking on thin ice.
How to open a dimensional door that connects to another world.
How to hack the warp gate system.
Knowing those two means that the continent is ready to face a gate crisis at any time.
“So, in the end, I think understanding the warp gate system a little more will help me understand dimensional magic a little better, but as you know, it’s confidential, so I can’t know… … . It’s a bit daunting to do it alone.”
Harriet let out a deep sigh. There is information, but it is the top secret of the empire, so I can’t access it. Harriet’s status is very high, but what she wants is the top secret of the imperial family and the magic world.
“… … That, I think I can help you a little.”
“you?”
I took out the imperial crest from my bosom.
“what. Why do you… … .”
“I got it a few days ago.”
imperial coat of arms.
You can get maximum cooperation from the Empire wherever you are, and you can be treated like royalty. Harriet was surprised and embarrassed that I was carrying the imperial coat of arms.
“What can I do with this?”
There’s a clear possibility that it won’t happen, but at least you can try talking about it.
Even if you can’t ask for the warp gate system itself, can you share your knowledge about dimensional magic?
Even though Harriet was lost for a while, the guy’s expression started to come alive.
“Gee, really? Are you really going to be?”
“That’s it, I don’t know yet.”
“Go, uh, quickly, whatever, let’s do something, quickly!”
Harriet is a wizard.
He was more excited than I was about being able to gain new knowledge.
* * *
I don’t know if the imperial family will give me information that is the highest secret of the empire called the warp gate, but there is always an open window for me.
It seemed like Bertus was staying at the Winter Palace for vacation after this incident, but Charlotte was back in the Royal Class dormitory.
It must be because you don’t know when your physical condition will deteriorate, so you want to be as close to me as possible to cope with it.
So naturally, in order to cope with the emergency, Saviolin Tana also returned to the royal class dormitory.
So naturally, the one Harriet and I went to was Charlotte, not Bertus.
“Dimensional magic research?”
“Uh, it’s mostly because he wants to study for academic reasons, but doesn’t the empire have a lot of knowledge related to that?”
Of course, he did not talk nonsense about other worlds to Charlotte.
“Umm, isn’t being at the temple not enough?”
Charlotte is not a wizard. That’s why it didn’t seem to make sense to seek the imperial family’s cooperation in this field.
I explained various things on behalf of the hesitant Harriet.
Research data on dimensional magic is inevitable for the Imperial Family and the Magic Association that developed the warp gate system, and it is treated as a considerable secret, so it is information that cannot be accessed.
“If it’s confidential, there must be a reason why it’s confidential, so I don’t think it’s an issue that I can easily decide. However, I think we can ask for some cooperation from the Imperial Magic Ministry.”
“Me, really?!”
Harriet was so happy that she jumped out of her seat.
Even the princess of the Principality of Saint-Ouan, famous for its magic, would never dream of accessing the royal family’s secret research data.
Charlotte quickly filled out a piece of paper in the break room and handed it to Harriet.
“I’ll make a promise, so don’t do it right away. Take this and go to the Imperial Magic Ministry tomorrow.”
“Oh, thank you… … . thank you, hwang… … . Oh no Charlotte!”
“Huh. What is this?”
Charlotte looked at me and gave me a coy smile, as if she did it because she looked at my face.
“Reinhardt, come see me later.”
“okay.”
Charlotte had something to say.
Harriet looked bewildered the whole way back to the Class A dormitory, probably because she got permission so easily. Charlotte stared blankly at her permit, then folded it and put it in her bosom, and she looked at me with a puzzled look.
“But now that I think about it. you princess… … . No, why the hell are you friends with Charlotte?”
Harriet seemed to be thinking about the matter for the first time. He seemed to think that there was no reason for me and Charlotte to be close even though the classes were different. Even to the point of asking to talk separately.
But isn’t it a bit late to ask that?
“Because you’re handsome.”
“… … How am I supposed to react to that?”
Harriet’s expression became genuinely disgusted.
and.
he’s really cool
Harriet stares at me as if she wants me to stop kidding and tell her the real reason.
“Hey, why did you and I become friends?”
“huh?”
In response to my counter-question, Harriet narrowed her brows, thinking about the past.
You can see countless pasts passing by like a kaleidoscope at a glance.
It started when I said something to a crazy classmate who was forcing my seniors, and then I heard a bang.
After that, the nickname will become a joke, and the things that made me cry while going crazy on the road will pass by.
Memories that continue after that.
“That, that… … .”
Harriet’s complexion began to pale.
“me… … . with something like you… … . how… … . why did you become close… … ?”
He, who has high self-esteem, noble background and outstanding talent, became friends after being teased by a street beggar.
It seems that this makes no sense even if you think about it yourself.
“There are people in the world who like to be bullied, and that must be you.”
“no! no! Say no, you fool!”
Harriet’s face turned red at my point.
“Really, really, how? how come i I… … . how come… … ?”
“Yeah, literally what you mean.”
“what?”
To be honest, I had no intention of becoming friends with Harriet. It’s just one of those things that happened.
After teasing him, he looks cute, and then when he cries, he feels sorry for him, so he treats him well.
Not everything can go the way you want it to, and there are some good things that don’t go the way you want them to.
“How is it different from Charlotte?”
Just like how I got close to you, Charlotte and I have no choice but to explain in terms of how.
When I hid the fact that I was Valieri and became a different class, there was no way for me to get close to Charlotte. It all started when Charlotte approached me first to find her Valier.
“… … Is it like that?”
Harriet muttered blankly.
and after a while
-Pak! Fak Fak!
“Yeah, I’m so pissed off! you! you really like me why did you do that to me! why!”
“Ah, these days, I keep beating you every day!”
Harriet blushed and patted me on the shoulder.
It didn’t hurt at all, and it made me rather sad.
* * *
Harriet will continue her research related to dimensional magic with the cooperation of the Imperial Magic Ministry. I don’t know what I’ll find out in the process, but in terms of magic, if I know one thing, I’m a guy who knows ten things, so there’s a chance I’ll get something out of it.
Just having a conversation today gave me a few clues.
Although the gate avalanche is a dangerous clue that it may be very easy to explode if you know how.
After some time passed, I headed to the Class B dormitory because Charlotte had said something to talk about.
“I’m here?”
“uh.”
Charlotte was waiting for me in the dorm common room.
There was no one in the break room doing what the other guys were doing. The development differed greatly from the original.
Saviolin Tana came to reside, and Ludwig awakened to a desire to become stronger.
So Ludwig, originally, would have to go on a trip this vacation, but it seemed that he was determined to spend this winter vacation being trained by Saviolin Tana.
Good is good, and this is better than the original development. Charlotte made me tea, and I sipped it, still not sure how it tasted.
Charlotte was gazing at the winter sunlight outside the window of the break room, sipping black tea.
“I had an audience with His Majesty. With Ellen.”
“It did.”
“Did you receive the imperial crest?”
“yes.”
Charlotte put the teacup down and carefully placed her hand on top of mine holding the teacup.
“… … .”
There was an emotion in Charlotte’s eyes.
That was the light of sadness. Charlotte must be well aware of what it means for me and Ellen to be given the imperial coat of arms.
I will give you unlimited privileges, so risk your life in the fight against the demon lord.
I, Ellen, and Charlotte know what that means.
“That child might be behind this. I am thinking.”
“… … okay?”
Charlotte already knows that Valie is no ordinary person.
Even though I knew that, I didn’t take any more contact to cut it off without a doubt.
If Valie was behind it, Charlotte, who knew Elleris’ whereabouts, could try to capture her at any moment she wanted. Of course, I won’t be caught easily.
Charlotte stares out the window.
He was still holding my hand.
“If that child is really the surviving successor of the demon king, what should I do?”
“… … .”
Charlotte sees me.
Tears welled up in his eyes.
“You have to fight for your life with that child. I hate it.”
Charlotte’s sadness was coming from a place I didn’t expect.
I am also important to Bali.
As the owner of Tiamata, I was chosen to stand against the demon lord along with Ellen.
Not wanting Valie to get hurt, Charlotte still kept Ellerith’s whereabouts a secret. If she suspected Valier of being behind her, she could strike at any time, but she wasn’t doing it.
But now things have changed.
Since I was chosen as the opponent of the demon lord, I was terrified that one day I might die in the process of fighting the demon lord risking my life.
Me and Bali.
You think you are at a crossroads where you have to choose one or the other.
It is impossible to know that both of them are the same existence, so Charlotte’s sad worries are reasonable.
For my sake, I must find Valie. At least, it is believed that it is necessary to confirm whether there is suspicion or not.
However, Charlotte was unable to do this or that because she might learn the irreversible fact and throw it away.
Ellerith must leave the ecliptic or move to another place.
First of all, that much is certain.
He believes in Charlotte, but Charlotte’s trust in Valier is shaky.
Because of me being the same.
“I’ll tell the wizard to run away.”
“… … uh?”
“That’s it.”
Charlotte was dazed, as if she had heard an unexpected story.
“I don’t believe at all that the demon world and the successor of the demon king that was destroyed like that will have a force strong enough to threaten the empire in a short time.”
“Well, at least a few strong demons are still alive. What the hell can you do with them?”
“Because I am the adversary who will fight the demon king if it is later judged to be dangerous. I must be qualified to make this decision.”
“And it’s not yet clear whether the child really has anything to do with this case. Don’t feel too guilty.”
It’s all lies.
He had to tell such a blatant lie in front of Charlotte without changing his complexion.
I’m not sacrificing, but I pretend to be sacrificing.
Charlotte looks at me blankly.
My words that you don’t have to go after the kid right now, since I’ll take the risk later.
After hearing that, Charlotte starts to weep in front of me.
“I’m sorry, Reinhardt… … .”
Charlotte seemed very sorry for not being able to decide easily, even though she knew what the choice was for me in a situation where this or that could not be.
Than Charlotte felt sorry for me.
A feeling of guilt that was dozens of times greater than that weighed on my heart.
“now… … . About that child… … . I’ll completely forget… … .”
Charlotte says this is her last favor and mercy to Valier. From now on, I will always stand by Reinhardt’s side.
Valier and Reinhardt said to me.
* * *
I hadn’t thought about this issue.
Although Charlotte was aware of Valier’s suspiciousness, he hadn’t thought that Charlotte would dig into it.
However, the situation in which the faith in Balie was shaken by worrying about me was unexpected. This is what happened after the emperor gave me and Ellen the imperial coat of arms.
Now that the demon forces have emerged, Charlotte has no choice but to try to figure out the whereabouts of Balie for sure because of me.
So, I immediately went to see Elerith.
“Movement… … . I will have to move.”
“I have to be careful about contacting the ecliptic. Now, most of our contact is through the Rotary club. There will be a delay in communication, but I don’t think it’s a situation to argue with that.”
“Yes, lower. I see what you mean.”
Eleris’ semi-basement room.
Elleris was fully aware of the change in circumstances since my audience with the emperor and the need to change course because of Charlotte’s state of mind.
Normally, that would have been enough, but there were other guys to pay attention to in Elerith’s residence these days.
“It would be a pity to leave this child here as it is, so it would be nice to go to a place where you can live more freely.”
– flinch
“You didn’t say anything, what are you afraid of?”
That’s Lydia Schmidt.
Ladia trembled as if she was stunned by my gaze.
I am the only Temple student who somehow found out that I am the heir of the demon king. She wouldn’t have bullied or abused Elerith as much as her personality was her personality, but Ladia had a very bad complexion and emaciated.
“Tsk, anyway, I was able to save Olivia by doing something stupid, but… … .”
Should I call this self-employment?
Had it not been for Ladia Schmidt’s nonsense, I would have had to keep my eyes open to see Olivia make a drastic choice or fall into the clutches of Leverrier Ranche. Or they don’t even know that Adriana is dead.
Ladia sat on the floor, staring at me, trembling.
A look that wants you to die.
Now, she has no feelings for Lydia Schmidt, but I can’t let her go like this.
There’s a degree to being swayed by trivial recognition, because Lydia Schmidt knew too many things she shouldn’t know.
“So, what are you going to do?”
“Well, I wonder if I should go to the Council for now. If there… … . This kid won’t be able to get away either, so he’ll have a little more freedom. A meeting will be called soon.”
Vampire Council.
A place known to humans as Goseong Epiax.
Ellerith seemed intent on taking Ladia Schmidt there to stay for a while. It won’t take long to organize the store.
“Did you get a date for that?”
“Looks like it will happen soon. When a detailed schedule is set, I will deliver the schedule to the club, so if you are there at the appointed time, I will come and pick you up.”
“Okay, okay.”
Ladia wouldn’t even know what the conversation was going on. I crouched down in front of the frightened Lydia Schmidt.
“senior.”
“yes yes… … .”
Lydia Schmidt suddenly lowers her eyes.
It was fanatical, but his strong will and faith easily collapsed at the word of turning into a vampire.
Even if they tried to believe in me just because I was an apostle of God, that became impossible as long as they knew that I was the Demon King.
Radia Schmidt has no choice but to be broken.
“Elleris is so bad… … It’s not.”
“… … .”
“At least better than me. I wish I could be more comfortable.”
– tuk tuk
I got up after patting Ladia Schmidt on the shoulder.
Ladia only intended to leave it to Ellerith.
If it’s broken, it’s broken, and if you adapt and get used to it, it’s just that.
“Goes.”
“Take a look, low.”
Elerith rises to the ecliptic.
It occurred to me that things were finally starting to get back to full swing.
In fact, rather than being in earnest, isn’t it going back irreversibly?
That thought kept coming back to me.
