Episode 72
Looking down at Aveiro, who was kneeling, I had this thought.
The information in my head, when organized neatly, is the result, not the process.
The fact that the current Tulcan Emperor is sick, that his condition is rapidly worsening and that he will pass away in about 4 years, and that the full-scale fight for the throne will begin from then.
And soon after, the hardliners gain the upper hand, the current crown prince becomes the emperor, and the continental war begins.
I don’t know the details of what happened inside the Teslan Kingdom.
All I know is that my sister’s end was tragic and the kingdom was destroyed. That’s all.
To put it simply, honestly, I just wasn’t interested.
I’m still not interested.
I have no intention of defending the kingdom.
And of course, things like loyalty aren’t done.
But if I make this Aveiro my own, where can I use him?
First of all, two things come to mind.
hmm.
however.
“How old are you?”
“……yes?”
The tone of voice clearly showed that he was flustered, but was it really something to be flustered about to ask his age?
“How old are you?”
“… … I’m 34 this year.”
“You’re young. You’re in your prime. Do you have a girlfriend? Are you married?”
“There isn’t any at the moment, and I haven’t done it.”
“What are your hopes for the future?”
“… … live long.”
“happily?”
“… … Yes. But why are you asking this… … ?”
Why did you ask? I asked because it was an interview.
“Have you heard the word regression?”
“… … I’ve heard of it.”
“Then it will be easier to talk. I am a regressor.”
“yes?”
“I’ll talk about the confusion for a bit later and give you a brief overview of the future.”
The teacher sitting on my shoulder slowly strokes my hair, and Sel, who was sitting with his butt pressed against the desk following me, opens his eyes wide.
I was thinking of talking about it separately later, but let’s just do it here.
“Later, the Tulcan Empire unified the continent, and soon after unifying, it was destroyed by me.”

“… … What are you talking about… … .”
“I killed all those who used the name Tulkan, and I killed all the dragons that bothered me. I also killed all the races except for the orcs and harpies in the Forest of Demons. I should just say I wiped them out. I tried not to touch the children if possible, but I had no choice but to break the rule at that time. The reason is simple. I killed all the dragons and gave them freedom, but they joined the hands of the Tulkan Empire. All the children and young men relied on Tulkan and pointed their swords at me, so I killed them all because it was ridiculous. The reason I excluded the orcs and harpies is because the Orc Lord and the Harpy Lord helped me.”
“… … .”
“I killed a lot. Now that I think about it, I suddenly remembered that I had a lot of nicknames. Sword God, Sword Ghost, Devil, Monster, etc.”
Aveiro is speechless.
I looked at that sight and smiled faintly.
“Ah, it was just as I thought. It’s embarrassing to say it out loud. Saying I was the devil with my own mouth… … Ugh, I can’t do that again.”
Anyway, this is the future world I remember.
To be honest, it’s not that different from the world today.
I know it’s a bit of a small difference, but if you want to call it a difference, that’s it.
Population.
I killed all those who pointed their swords at me and all those who considered me an enemy.
I don’t know the exact number, but I think the entire population of the Western Continent has decreased by more than half.
Of course, this number includes all the different races that exist in the Demon Forest.
I have no intention of going into the details of what happened in the future or the complex circumstances behind it.
I think if the teacher finds out, he’ll look at me a little negatively.
So, just to this extent.
This is enough.
I turned my head slightly and saw my teacher looking at me with a pitiful expression.
He smiled faintly and turned his head again to look at Aveiro.
A blank expression.
And what happened now and what happened before that.
I can almost hear the guy’s head turning in my ears.
“I’m telling you this just in case, if you say you’re going to just turn your back on me and go somewhere else, then go. I won’t chase you or catch you and kill you.”
“… … What if I spread rumors?”
“Why? Spreading rumors? I’m betting that it won’t happen this time either.”
Well, I told Aveiro my secret first.
Aveiro, who was trying to find a new line because the Adventurer’s Guild did not show him trust.
Maybe this isn’t the first time something like this has happened to him.
* * *
Aveiro was momentarily stunned.
I should say that I don’t know how to explain it.

This little kid in front of you.
No, this man was different from anyone I’d ever seen before.
It wasn’t just another level.

Should I say that it changes common sense?
Perhaps the expression “common sense does not apply” would also be appropriate.
This is the first time in my life that something like this has happened.
Aveiro did not know that Tolisso was the dark side of the Marlon Dukes, and that he was also the vice-captain, and that he was a strong man in the 7th Circle.
But that strong man was killed by that man named Jack.
There wasn’t any huge clash, he just killed them so easily, like someone kicking a piece of trash off the street.
And resurrected him.
Aveiro, who had read the literature of the past, could tell.
That’s black magic.
And then I was taken aback by Jack’s next words.
return.
Know the future.
Destroyed the Tulcan Empire.
I don’t know how.
But, I didn’t think it was a lie.
An overwhelming presence and an appearance brimming with confidence.
In addition, a 14-year-old kid easily killed a 7th Circle strongman before my eyes.
That’s proof that Jack’s words are true.
And he says he’ll just let you go even if you don’t become his person.
Someone with that kind of power said it with his own mouth.
I knew it instinctively, and with intuition.
Clearly, this man would let me go without hesitation if I just said I wanted to leave.
‘Truly extraordinary, intelligent and bold.’
Overwhelming confidence.
The confidence of a strong person who believes that whatever he sets his mind to, it will definitely come true.
Trust first, reveal secrets first… Who can do this?
Even if you are just a writer’s wife, it is common sense not to tell anyone the secrets you have.
The image Jack is showing before my eyes can only be explained as the kind of distribution that can only be shown by those who can truly stand above someone.
Aveiro realized.
This is it.
These are the qualities of an emperor.
In my life, I have never experienced a word that does not even have a real existence, I just remember it.
He had seen the position of branch manager, and before that, he had seen many nobles and knights leading the order, but the Jack before him was incomparable to them.
Doing something with this kind of person.
It sounds like fun.

Seriously, I want to try it sometime.
So I said.
“Just let me do whatever you want. I want to serve you. Really.”
Chapter 9
Aveiro’s words were sincere.
A lie to escape the moment, or a false performance by an opportunist.
That wasn’t it.
Aveiro is definitely serious now.
“Okay, let’s go together.”
As I reach out my hand, Aveiro takes it with both of his.
Let’s slowly get him up from that spot, the guy asks.
“What should I call you?”
This one starts by organizing the titles.
“As you wish. As long as you don’t swear.”
“… … Then, I will call you by the words ‘Your Majesty’ and ‘Lord’ separately in public and private settings.”
A man named Aveiro is quite famous here in Ascendible.
Because he was a branch manager.
If it becomes known that the branch manager calls me lord, there is a high probability that I will be tired in many ways.
It’s high, but it doesn’t really matter.
still.
“I’ll call you my lord later, but for now, just call me your prince.”
“Ah… … Yes, I understand. I ask for your help in the future, Your Majesty.”
He smiled faintly and told Aveiro to fix Tolisso’s L-shaped neck with a brace before turning his head.
The master looks at me as if I were some funny creature.
When I turned my head to the other side, my eyes met with Cell’s blank expression.
Cell asked.
-That’s what you meant when you said there wasn’t much time… …is that it?
In the morning, Cell said that he definitely wanted revenge, and I told him that we had to hurry.
therefore.
“If it’s short, it’ll be 3 to 4 years. If we drag it out as much as possible, it’ll be at most 10 years. What do you think? Do you think it’ll be possible within that time?”
-……I don’t know.
“To be honest, I could raise you to be able to catch Beckerman in 5 years. But I don’t think 10 years will do for Lord. No matter how talented you are, they use their karma. Karma… … Oh, didn’t I tell you? Do you remember? That thing that turned my body black.”
Cell nods.
“That’s called a spirit power, and the two lords use that power. And those who use spirit power have an unconditional advantage over mana users.”
-Can I use it too?

“It might be difficult right now. After all, you’re a dragon too. You may not want to admit it, but you’re a monster with talents that can use both sides of your soul. If you have a little more time, you’ll definitely be able to use it.”
Cell raises his head and looks at me with determined eyes.
-Hey, boss.
“why?”
-I want to become stronger. If the two Lords are difficult, I want to kill at least that Beckerman with my own hands. And I want to kill all the guys involved in the experiment on me.
Revenge… … .
I gently patted the guy’s head.
“Are you asking for help?”
-It’s shameless, but… …yes.
“Not right away. You might have some kind of trauma left. Let’s start training after I’ve determined that there’s nothing wrong with you. What do you think?”
-I’ll do as you say, boss.
He tousled the guy’s short hair again and turned his head.
Aveiro, who had wrapped a protective belt around Tolisso’s neck, remained frozen in that state.
“Why? Do you have something to say?”
“… … I thought I heard something wrong. If it’s Beckermann… … it must be Heynckes Beckermann… … a dragon?”
Oh, I forgot to say that.
“Let’s talk about that later. First, let’s think about our future path.”
He smiled brightly.
“I’d like to hear about the information you found out.”
