Admission is a waste of time (264)
Lesson 51. Strong Alliance – 6
Aire’s words that she was going to meet him now were not an exaggeration.
The very moment they read the message and thought about running away, Aire and Melodia appeared before the eyes of Ban Yu-won and his group.
As the group froze over the incident that had occurred without them having time to do anything, the head of the household stepped forward and faced Ban Yu-won.
“You have opened the remains of a traitor.”
The head of the household, who had revealed in just one sentence that he understood the situation, smiled elegantly while looking at the faces of the other members who did not show any emotion and some who did not show any emotion at all.
Then he put a small medal around the neck of Tike, who was following behind, and handed it to Ban Yu-won, speaking again in a stern voice.
“As I said, he is a traitor. It is definitely the trace of the True Dragon, which is why we were able to come to this D-13 dimension this time, but we have no intention of being polite to him. Of course, we have no intention of punishing the grave robber.”
The expression ‘grave robbery’ was quite accurate.
After all, it was Asha who was scheduled to enter the ruins.
“I just wanted to make a promise. It’s a promise that I won’t harm Lady Aire’s body with anything I’ve gotten my hands on from the traitor’s tomb.”
“Huh.”
Aire? Why him?
Looking back at her, Aire was shaking her head as if it was her own thoughts.
However, Gaju did not back down.
“All dragons let their guard down, and die as a result. The sword of fratricide is like a small thorn that contains deadly poison, which is insignificant and annoying until it pricks you, but after it pricks you, you suffer a soul-rending pain.”
“Yu-won doesn’t stab me.”
“Human affections are like reeds. They are shaken and broken by trifles, so you should not judge them by your own senses.”
“… … .”
The head of the household speaks coldly and treats the relationship between the two as if it were nothing special.
Aire glared at the head of the household with a very sour expression.
At that point, Ban Yu-won decided to intervene.
“There is a Yong-in among my party members. At least Aire won’t attack her just because she’s Yong-in. If our positions change later and we end up confronting each other, then we’ll both take a step back.”
“… … I’m satisfied with that for now. We’ll talk in more detail later.”
“You, get out.”
Ayre pushed aside Gaju, who nodded after thinking deeply about Ban Yu-won’s suggestion.
This is the moment when the hierarchical relationship between the two people becomes clear.
… … No, she just seems like a daughter who is being rude to her kind father.
“Yu-won, forget what I just said. That guy is overprotective.”
“No, it’s okay. Besides, I did it for Asha.”
“Yes, that. Don’t forget that. This time, I was the one who decisively saved Asha.”
As expected, the move of the Melodia family this time, at least in finding Camelot and threatening the king, seems to have been largely influenced by Aire’s will.
Although I don’t know, she probably wasn’t too happy about the fact that she had clumsily provoked Asha during the previous masquerade ball, which ended up leading to Ban Yu-won freeing Asha.
So, when the opportunity came this time, he didn’t hesitate and even mobilized the Melodia family.
He thought it was cute that Aire was puffing out her chest and boasting that she was more helpful to Asha than Ban Yu-won, and he reached out to her.
“Yeah, thanks for the help. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to be that helpful.”
“huh?”
Aire opened her eyes wide as she discovered what was placed on Ban Yu-won’s outstretched palm.
A hairpin with a beautiful snowflake-shaped jewel decoration.
It was a bribe――no, a gift――that I started making the item the moment I sent a request for rescue to Aire, and I quickly completed it by using the techniques I had gained while working on accessories all night.
Fortunately, the concept of ice was something I had acquired by annihilating the frost giants I encountered during my first solo exploration, and even after building the previous frost fortress, there was still a lot left over.
This time, she consumed it all cleanly, creating an artifact that aids her ice magic.
“A high-ranking artifact… was it in the ruins?”
“No, I made it.”
“directly?”
“Content only.”
“??”
She tilted her head, accepted the hairpin, poured her magic into it, and smiled with great satisfaction.
The Melodia family head, who was pushed aside by her, was also nodding her head repeatedly while watching it, so it seems that the intention of the bribe was well-received.
“I’ll go.”
“Are you okay, Aire?”
“You came out without permission, so you should go back quickly.”
Aire brushed back some of her bangs and timidly secured them with a hairpin before stepping back, urging the owner to come forward.
The whole process from her appearance to her exit was so sudden that Ban Yu-won, who had been trying to grab her reflexively, soon put his hand down.
There were still many questions about the true identity of the Melodia family――but for now, they could be considered allies.
Let’s think about the rest later.
“See you at the Academy, Yuwon.”
“Yes, at the academy.”
Her head bobbed up and down in a quick greeting as she turned around.
The transparent and sparkly hairpin on the front of the head suits her very well.
The moment the head of the household activated his space magic, the two people disappeared from the sight of the group.
As soon as they confirmed it, Aneri and Kang Eun-young sighed and sat down nearby, their whole body losing strength.
“He was the strongest person I’ve ever met in my life.”
“I don’t know if he’s human.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen you two look so nervous.”
“My son is normal, but he’s weird. He’s not that good, really.”
Things weren’t much different for Keira.

“Young Master, you really are good at having one-on-one conversations with that person.”
Her legs were shaking as if she had been dancing Dance Dance Revolution for three hours straight. Even she, who could be considered strong, was reacting like this, so I thought that the reputation of the teenage family was not empty.
On the other hand, seeing that Ban Yu-mi was a rather calm and composed young woman, it was clear that her frightened acting earlier was just a lie.
“No way?”
Ban Yu-mi, who received a look that seemed to convey that meaning, responded with a serious expression.
“what.”
“That’s right, I thought that kid was going to kill us too. But now that I look at him, he doesn’t even have any murderous intent.”
“Yumi said she has good sense.”
“No matter how much you know that the opponent won’t attack, it’s not easy to stay calm when you see a typhoon swirling right before your eyes… … .”
Aneri muttered, sticking out her tongue.
But what we must not forget is that Ban Yumi holds within her the potential to surpass the future head of Melodia.
Perhaps, it is because they know the weight of the power they possess that their attitude naturally becomes stronger.
… … Or maybe he’s just born with a bad temper.
“Then let’s go back soon.”
Ban Yu-won clapped his hands, gathered everyone’s attention, and declared.
It was originally supposed to last for two days longer――but the request had already been ruined, and there was nothing we could do if we stayed in the D-13 dimension any longer.
“Thanks to Melodia, we really have nothing left to do, because it’s not our job to control the Guardian Alliance from now on.”
“If your father is that pathetic, then your daughter must be having a hard time. Yuwon, you take good care of her at school.”
“I came all the way to this place on a business trip because you were taking such good care of me.”
Ban Yu-won seemed to be in a lukewarm mood as he declared the disbandment, but the Level Force members seemed to be used to this kind of thing and boarded the spaceship as if nothing had happened.
“Let’s take the next request right away. This time, it wasn’t a request, it was just a picnic.”
“Really? I had a great time dating you, Master.”
“Wouldn’t you be okay if I don’t provoke you like that? And I clearly told you not to flirt with my little brother――!”
“Haha! As expected, a young lady should be this energetic!”
Aneri said, smiling like she was looking at children, as she watched the two people start to fight, clinging together like a fighting people.
“We’re planning to leave from here right away anyway. I found a blacksmith who can process dragon metal.”
“Did you give that alloy such a lame name, Sister?”
And he himself raised his fist to discipline the rookie who was talking arrogantly.
“Are you guys the kind of creatures that can only communicate with fists?”
Ban Yu-won sighed and called Lilith to the spaceship.
“Then I will go straight to the academy from here.”
“Ah, Ban Yu-won!”
Ban Yu-mi’s voice stopped him as he waved and boarded the spaceship.
When he turned around without saying anything, she hesitated for a while and then began to make excuses for her actions earlier.
“Don’t misunderstand for no reason. That was… … What is that, even if we were born on different days, we’ll all die together, that’s what it is.”
“Where in the world is there a crazy guy who makes a peach garden oath with his older sister?”
Besides, the saying that we should all die together when we die is a bit scary because it sounds like we’ll die together if we fail.
“Anyway, that’s what it is!”
“Okay, I know. Take care of yourself too, sister.”
“What did you know!”
“Oh, and Aneri.”
“yes!”
When he motioned to Aneri, she ran towards him and put her ear close to his lips.
“I should have just said it in a voice,” Ban Yu-won whispered to her, regretting it.
“If you ever come into conflict with the Prominence family, bring all the bodies to me intact.”
That would probably be the quickest way to do it.
Even if we get our hands on the Prominence family, there will still be many people we will have to kill without being able to compromise.
Aneri, who had fully understood Ban Yu-won’s message, nodded with a bitter smile and stepped back.
“… … As expected, Yuwon-nim calmly surpasses our imagination. Okay, leave it to me.”
“Okay, I’ve said everything I wanted to say, so I’ll go.”
After greeting her mother and sister once more, she playfully winked at Keira, who shook the earring in her ear, and boarded the spaceship.
[I was out of my mind.]
―It feels like seeing a lion cub come out of a cage full of lionesses alive and well.
“Let’s go, let’s go.”
“Sishit.”
He laid down deep in the sheets, caressing Eve, who was wrapped around his arms as if comforting him, with a moan.
When you came here, you clearly made up your mind to keep an appropriate distance from the female mercenaries… … .
[Phuhat.]
“Release, don’t laugh like that, it’s annoying.”
-You know, you’re popular, but you seem to have never dated a lot of women.
“Celone, you too, be quiet. Please.”
“Shishishit.”
“Yeah, after all, there’s only Eve. Oh, and Tyke too.”
The spaceship left the atmosphere straight away and went into space.
As I watch the Guardian Alliance fleet that is still in space and slowly disbanding, I feel sympathy for Asha, who will be the one to lead them in the future.
Now that I think about it, the scout ship I saw when I first entered the D-13 dimension, where did that scout ship come from?
It doesn’t matter where… … but in the end, among the knights Ban Yu-won met, he couldn’t find anyone connected to the scout ship.
‘What happened? That means Galahad had that many holes in him.’
The release entered the dimensional wall.
As Ban Yu-won was about to close his eyes again and lie down, he discovered a naked pervert floating inside the dimensional wall outside the spaceship monitor.
There really was something like that, I thought blankly, and this time I closed my eyes and took a nap during the short time until I arrived at the academy.
And so, Ban Yu-won’s first solo special activity ended.
* * *
“Ah …
While listening to the lecture on Tuesday, Asha was puzzled by the fact that she was receiving more attention than usual. After the lecture, she opened the mirror and barely realized the reason, and screamed.
“Why did you broadcast live from Camelot?! Why did Melodia come in―― and why is Aire there too! It’s my dimension! You left me out!”
“Be quiet, idiot. What’s going on――”
Dokgo Yeon’s eyes narrowed as he opened the mirror while hitting Asha.
“Things are getting fun. That guy is a bit mischievous, leaving me to do this fun work alone.”
“Why are you saying that? Yuwon is trying hard for me!”
“… … Hoo.”
“Both of you, stop fighting.”
As the two glared at each other, Ruchel clapped his hands and intervened.
“Let’s first figure out what happened.”
The three people who quietly checked the broadcast content with Ruchel’s mediation each had subtle expressions on their faces.
Dokgo Yeon was deeply shocked by the power of the strong man, who was more closely connected to Aire than he could have imagined, and who could be felt even beyond the screen.
Ruchel pouted her lips at the thought that after this broadcast ended, Bonamana Ayre would meet Ban Yu-won and make special memories.
Asha――.
“No, wouldn’t it be better if you both paid more attention to our father and my hometown? Okay?”
“That’s obvious. It’s even worse than you imagined. You’re pretty strong, but why do all the warriors in this country look so weak?”
“He’s exactly like I imagined Light’s father to be. He’s very much like Light, being stubborn but weak to the strong.”
“You two are really too much… … . I miss Yuwon… … .”
The two of them were too much, but there was a lot I wanted to say to Aire, who showed up leading the teenage family’s spaceship and invaded Camelot.
Well――I appreciate that you are sponsoring me in the name of the teenage family!
I am also thankful that you have broken the spirit of my father, who often oppressed his allies with his authority, was only concerned with his own self-preservation, and tried to manipulate his daughter like a pawn!
‘They are all related to me, but in the end, it wasn’t something I personally accomplished. Right now, they are all just being oppressed by the power of the Ten Families, but once they realize that I am the one who is actually above them, they won’t bow their heads like they are doing now. If I want to truly become the master of the alliance―― I have to work hard in the future.’
Clench your fist.
I’ve decided to put aside the days of swinging my sword without thinking.
Rather than leaving it all up to Yuwon or Aire, she needs to step forward herself.
It was then that I spotted Aire walking down the hallway with confident steps.
… … I also noticed a hairpin in her bangs that I had never seen before.
“Aire.”
“huh.”
It is not an illusion.
She was answering while secretly emphasizing her hair so that the hairpin was clearly visible.
It must have been received from Yuwon!
Asha suppressed her desire to ask about that for the time being and asked something else instead.
“It was a matter of supporting me, why didn’t I know about it?”
“I was planning it slowly, but then a problem occurred in the D-13 dimension, so I had to deal with it all at once. Anyway, that’s how it turned out. Let’s go to Melodia together during the vacation.”
“I’ll come and visit you as much as I want if you invite me, but don’t treat my problems as a bundle!”
“But it was something I couldn’t do in Melodia. It would violate the guardian contract.”
“huh?”
Asha, who was about to ask a little more, tilted her head at Aire’s continued words.
What can’t you do? If it was the Dragon Sword, Yuwon would have taken care of it, and the head of the Melodia family would have personally controlled Camelot.
“Other than those, what’s more important is.”
“What’s more important… … is left?”
“Asha, this isn’t a coincidence. Those sloppy pieces of trash don’t have the ability to find relics.”
“uh……?!”
“It wasn’t excavated, it was unsealed. Along with the relics, there was a seal on something more dangerous.”
Aire added that and smiled faintly as if telling her not to worry, then grabbed Asha’s hand.
“Even if Melodia can’t come forward, I can. Since Yuwon has obtained a special weapon, we’ll subdue them together then.”
It was truly a noble spirit of friendship and sacrifice.
That is, if you leave out the confusing words that follow.
“Aire, wait a minute. Don’t make me guess. Don’t make me guess!”
“I already noticed.”
“thank god.”
Dokgo Yeon laughed at Asha, who was shaking her head and covering both ears.
“You were complaining that I was excluding you from the discussion because it was your level, but next time, you can be the main character.”
“I’m not happy, I’m not happy at all… … !”
