Chapter 351
After that.
We started preparing to leave Italy right away.
“Can we really go back like this?”
While preparing, Sunchan asked.
“I have to go back. There’s nothing you can do about staying here.”
I got all the information I could get from the Rid Furniture Factory.
There is no reason to stay in Italy any longer.
“It is, but… … .”
Soonchan frowned.
It’s a shame to go back to something like this.
“But just in case you don’t know, if you stay and prepare… … .”
I know what Sunchan is thinking.
In order to prepare for the catastrophe six months from now, we must quickly deal with the mafia, which is no different from harm.
And for that quick turnaround, wouldn’t it be better to stay here now and prepare for the next one?
It is clear that you are thinking this way.
However.
“It doesn’t make any sense.”
It’s not a particularly meaningful action.
“I have already gathered enough evidence. If you just hand over this evidence, the Mafia will take care of it.”
Within the mafia, the gangster faction is practically over.
The mafia cleanup is already over.
“If the Hardy faction is resolved, the Anti Magia and Destroyer sides will be resolved on their own.”
This is also a problem that will be solved when the moderate wave starts to move in earnest.
In fact, it can be said that all problems on the Italian side have been resolved.
“The question is, where did they get the dragon soul? It’s about whether you have extras, but that’s not a problem that can be solved by staying here.”
As long as they have brains, they won’t bring anything new to this place.
The information you can get here is the end of the line you just got.
Therefore, there is no reason to stay.
“And if there was anything we could have done by staying here, I would have chosen to go back to Korea.”
“… … why?”
“The important thing is not to solve the problem on the Italian side now… … .”
I finished my preparations and got up from my seat.
“Six months later. It’s because we’re preparing a solar eclipse.”
There are only six months left until the revival of the bale stall.
Time is an incomparably important commodity to me right now.
Every day is more precious than anything else.
Right now I can’t afford to pay attention to the Italian side.
“It’s only right to leave this to Captain Charles.”
“It is true… … .”
Sunchan nodded his head with a blank expression.
The expression that he thought was short.
Being honest without stubbornness like that is probably the best virtue Sunchan possesses.
smart-!
Then someone knocked on the door.
“come in.”
I didn’t even have to ask who it was.
Now, with my eyes, I can clearly see who the person beyond the door is.
“Forgive me for being late.”
Adela came into the room with her suitcase.
“no. This one has just been prepared.”
I received the carrier from such Adela and put it inside ‘A.S’.
“Any traces?”
“I erased everything.”
The suitcase that Adela just handed to me contained the luggage we had packed while pretending to be tourists.
Just in case, it left no trace of us.
In case you don’t know, I asked you to bring it.
“In the meantime, I burned all the hair that fell off. The cleaning magic also removed things like fingerprints in batches.”
“Fingerprints aside, how did you find and burn your hair… … ?”
Sunchan asked with a surprised expression.
“I modified and used the dust removal magic so that even the hair is on target.”
“… … remodeling?”
“yes. The dust removal magic is a magic that activates small particles within the casting range, right? By broadening the scope of the target a little, to be able to pull up to the hair… … .”
“No, I’m not curious about how you did it. You remodeled the magic formula to your liking?”
“yes.”
Sunchan, what kind of monster is this again? I looked at Adela with a smile on my face.
“Why is that?”
“… … Heh heh heh.”

Soon-chan let out a laugh.
“If you like it, you look like it. Heh heh heh.”
He shakes his head with a laugh.
“Monstrous things… … .”
Remodeling the magic formula is an act close to impossible that can only be reached after decades of research.
… … That is the common sense of modern magic.
It was me who broke that common sense.
Now, Adela has also broken that common sense.
It’s worth seeing Soonchan as if he sees us as monsters.
“It’s not that we’re monsters, it’s that you’re an idiot?”
“… … That’s another bit of bullshit.”
Sunchan laughed with an expression that said he was not the same.
It’s an expression that asks you to talk somewhere.
“Two out of three can do it, and one can’t. It’s not that two are weird, it’s that one is weird, right? So it’s not that we’re monsters, it’s that you’re stupid.”
Soonchan snorted.
“Yes~ I heard the bullshit.”
I can’t help it, I just repeat a laugh with an expression that looks like I’ve run away from home.
“If you have time for that nonsense, get your Umbra ready.”
It’s so absurd that he doesn’t even think about reacting.
“that word. I will pass it on to Mimir.”
“… … Why is it being passed that way?”
“It’s Mimir who prepares Umbra, not me. Don’t you mean that you told Mimir to prepare Umbra or nonsense?”
“… … uh?”
Sun-chan’s eyes trembled with embarrassment.
“When Mimir finishes checking his choker and returns, I’ll deliver it to you. Soon-chan thinks you are an idiot talking nonsense.”
“No, hey, it doesn’t mean that. No, I didn’t say that to Mimir-sama in the first place!”
Soon-chan shouted with a confused look on the world.
“Did I hear that?”
“This bastard… … .”
Maybe my expression was quite thick.
Sunchan clenched his fists and grinded his teeth.
“Oh. be scared Would this be okay?”
I showed a thicker expression and movement.
“This is so scary that I might tell Aslan-sama that you said the other day that Aslan-sama’s personality is eccentric.”
“hey! That’s not what I said, it’s what you said!”
“You were also positive. Then it is the same.”
“No, that… … .”
Soon-chan looked around and blurted out his words.
As for memory, I can’t deny it.
I can’t even confirm that.
It was such a look.
“… … Whoa.”
At that time, Aslan-nim woke up as if salty.
“It’s freaky. That’s what I was thinking.”
Sunchan’s complexion turned pale.
“Ah, Aslan-sama… … ? It’s not… … .”
As if he had seen a ghost, he turned his head with a bloodless face.
It looks like a broken robot turning its head.
“Got it. If you thought so, then I don’t have to worry about it.”
Aslan’s smile deepened.
“I will redefine the training plan.”
“Ah, Asran-nim?”
“Don’t worry. I won’t die.”
Aslan’s smile became even clearer.
“No, I might die.”
“ah… … .”
Soonchan dropped to his knees.
He had the expression of a death row inmate who had been sentenced to death.
“Heir. Everything is ready… … .”
After that, Mimir and Elena-sama appeared.
“what? Why is he like that?”
“Nothing. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“… … okay?”
Mimir looked at Soonchan for about 3 seconds, then turned his gaze back to me with an expression that showed his interest had cooled.
“Anyway, everything is ready. I could have finished the original one sooner. Midway through, Aslan woke up, so I delayed another two minutes to talk briefly about the current situation.”
“ah. Didn’t you just wake up?”
“uh. no.”
“… … Then, whether or not you caught the pod, you must have been thinking of maximizing your training intensity.”
“Ah~ I heard that Aslan increased the training intensity?”
“uh.”
“Write.”
Mimir turned his gaze to Sunchan again.
It was a pity for Sun-chan that he would die.
“Sorry. He is young and talented.”
Then pray and meditate.
“… … Is that enough?”
I was rather surprised by the reaction.
“The intensity of Aslan’s training?”
“uh. I want you to be able to react like that.”
“See how he is later. Then you will know.”
Mimir shook his head.
“This is my personal request, be nice to him. If he doesn’t do that, he might really commit suicide.”
“… … .”
Seriously, Sunchan started to worry.
“Well, don’t take it too seriously. Seeing that Asran said he would train at the highest intensity, it also means that he has considerable talent. If he endures Aslan’s training well… … .”
Mimir’s mouth curved like a half moon.
“Maybe if not to the level of an heir, wouldn’t it be strong enough to match Adela Stewart?”
I am sincerely looking forward to the future.
It was a look that thought so.
* * *
After that, we returned to Korea using Umbra.
Take Adela and Soonchan to their respective homes.
After that, I also returned to my hometown.
“I heard about it.”
My father knew pretty much everything about the situation, without me having to say anything.
Perhaps Captain Charles conveyed the situation over the phone.
“okay. What do you plan to do next?”
My father looked at me with worldly serious eyes.
A catastrophe approaching six months from now.
How will you prepare for that catastrophe?
It was a question with such meaning.
“I will use all the time I have left to become as strong as possible.”
“Are you going to practice hard?”
“yes.”
My father’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He seems to be skeptical about my answer.
“Bail stall. The beginning of black magic, which will be fully revived in 6 months, is circle 9 of original black magic. I heard that it is a monster that stands one level higher than the Dark Mage King.”
“yes. you’re right.”
“A guy like that… … Do you think you can defeat it after only six months of training?”
My father’s eyes are getting sharper and sharper.
“Six months is a short time. In fact, you can tell by looking at how your achievements have been over the past two and a half years. Circle 7 Master in Circle 7. If you think about it normally, it’s a very fast achievement… … .”
That’s it.
In two and a half years, I only raised about half a circle.
What can you do in 6 months?
My father’s eyes said so.
“two. You are misunderstanding something.”
“misunderstanding?”
“yes.”
I made eye contact with my father and said,
“First, about my achievements over the past two and a half years, but I haven’t devoted myself entirely to magic in the past two and a half years.”
the past two and a half years.
I was focusing on Mimir’s resurrection rather than my magical achievements.
“If I had devoted myself entirely to achieving magical achievements over the past two and a half years, I would have reached the threshold of becoming a Master of the 8th Circle.”
“… … How can you be sure?”
“It’s simple.”
I put my hand on my chest and spoke slowly.
“now. Even now, without focusing on magic, I can see the 8th circle right in front of me.”
Father’s eyes widened.
“Despite spending close to two out of two and a half years developing the new AI, we have reached the threshold of the 8th circle. If two and a half years had been devoted entirely to the achievement of magic… … .”
He must have stepped on the threshold of an 8th circle master.
“This is the first misunderstanding. It’s not that I ‘failed’ to raise the circle, it’s that I ‘didn’t’.”
For two and a half years, I haven’t only posted half a circle.
I just stayed at this level because I was more focused on other things.
“… … then.”
My father glared at me with an even sharper expression.
“I wish I had. why… … .”
Did you waste two and a half years of your time?
“If you were completely devoted to the achievement of magic… … .”
now. Circumstances would have been different.
I might have reached the 9th circle in 6 months.
My father seemed to want to say that.
“First, let me correct it. I didn’t waste two and a half years of time.”
However, no.
“I didn’t ‘waste’ my time, I was ‘investing’ it.”
My two and a half years were worth more than anything else.
“As my father said, if I had focused entirely on magic, I would have become a 8th Circle Master by now. In six months, I might be in the ninth circle.”
“Knowing that… … .”
“However.”
I sternly cut off my father’s words.
“That’s all.”
“… … Is that all?”
“yes. That’s it. I only succeeded in reaching the 9th circle. No matter what he did, he would never have reached the 9th circle mastery.”
“… … .”
Father did not answer.
Probably because there was no room for refutation of my words.
“And at the beginning of the 9th circle, you can’t beat Bale Stall. Even Master, who was the Master of the 9th Circle, was the one who couldn’t win.”
I could have fought a little bit.
But that’s it.
The result is equally defeated.
There is no chance we can win.
“So I invested two and a half years. For the evolution of the bi-tenor style, to leap even higher. I decided to take a step back.”
“… … I understand what you mean.”
Father closed his eyes for a moment.
You seem to be organizing my words.
“Your two and a half years were an investment for the future. There is no theory in that statement. However.”
When my father opened his eyes again, his eyes were shining incomparably colder.
“The investment failed.”
failure.
“If, like you said, Bale Stoll was resurrected in at least three years. If so, your last two and a half years would have ended up as a great investment. However, now. Now that his resurrection is six months away. Your investment is like a failure.”
My father’s words penetrated the heart of the situation.
“Six months cannot fully accomplish that evolution. Compared to two and a half years, six months is too short.”
Two and a half years of investment opens new possibilities for evolution.
The 3-year harvest completes its evolution.
This was my initial plan.
As long as this temporal distribution is broken, my investment is no different from a failure.
With only six months of harvest, two and a half years is just overinvestment.
It was like this.
“It is said that the variable was large, but this is a very painful mistake. I was thinking too far into the future.”
I was looking into a very distant future.
That’s right.
this is my mistake
I should have acted a little more, looking into the near future.
The fact that I didn’t think of variables is something I should reflect on no matter what anyone says.
However.
“no.”
That’s it.
I just have to reflect a little.
“My investment was successful.”
My investment has been successful, both in name and reality.
“What I gained from two and a half years of investment is only six months. How can that be successful?”
“That is the second misunderstanding.”
I paused for a while and slowly opened my mouth.
“Time is not of equal value.”
I squeezed my confidence and confidence into it, and let my aspirations come out of my mouth.
“My six months now far exceed the value of the last two and a half years.”
Now that I have a supporter called Mimir.
The density of my time has increased beyond words.
“6 months. In the meantime, I will look strong enough to overwhelm Bale Stall.”
I am confident of that.
