Episode 49
“Master, are you awake?”
“…okay.”
When I woke up, Kania was applying medicine to my wound with a worried look on her face.
When I smiled slightly at Kania and tried to get up, she gently grabbed me and asked carefully.
“If the ordeal is difficult, may I help you?”
“how?”
I tilted my head and asked, and she quietly held my hand and said.
“I will visit you in your dream. You will be there with me…”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
But when I immediately rejected her offer, Kania said with a worried look on her face.
“I don’t know exactly what kind of fantasy you’re seeing, but… if I’m around, a little more…”
“No, it’s really okay. This ordeal is quite easy. If it gets difficult, I’ll ask for help.”
“…yes.”
After rejecting her offer again, I smiled at Kania, who was still looking down at me with a worried expression, and quietly lost myself in thought.
‘…I can’t show Kania something so horrible.’
What I saw in my dream were the scenes where the ‘main heroines’ died in the previous episode. Plus the deaths of Isolette and her father.
Of course, no matter how much I look at it, I am not impressed. Not only was his mental strength high, but it was a scene he had thought about countless times over and over again, turning it into a fighting spirit.
However, since it is a scene where people die, it is equally terrible, so Kania, who has much lower mental power than me, will definitely have problems.
So, since it is a hallucination that will end in a week anyway, it would be beneficial for me to handle it on my own, even though it is mental training.
“…Then I’ll go back to work, Master.”
“okay.”
After thinking about it like that, I silently watched Kania leave my room after bowing to me, and then I began to quietly look at the system window that appeared before my eyes.
[Obtain 10000 points of accumulated evil points!]
– The mid-level integrated store is open.
– The investment system for the warrior’s weapon awakening is also released.
– Beginner mode ends.
“…Beginner mode has ended. It’s a shame.”
As the beginner mode ends, the system will begin to become unfriendly in earnest.
Part of this is the permanent disappearance of ‘Emergency Defense’, which was purchased from the Beginner’s Skill Store, and ‘The Wicked’s Intuition’, which alerts you to the risk of death once a day.
However, the merits also increase accordingly.
Of course, as the system has become considerably less trustworthy, its meaning has faded to some extent, but shouldn’t we still use what we can use?
[Intermediate Store Level 1]
– Elixir of Potential LV2 45000pt
Explanation) This mystical potion can bring out the potential of the person who drinks it. (Purchase limit 0/1)
– Increased vitality recovery speed LV2 50000pt
Description) Permanently increases vitality recovery speed slightly. (Total amount does not increase)
– Mind Reading LV2 50000pt
.
With that in mind, I opened the store window, but when I saw that the cost was considerably higher than I expected, I clicked my tongue and closed the window.
“…Well, there is a store function now, but it’s mana.”
This is because from now on, you need to put as much of the points you collect into the ‘Hero’s Weapon Awakening Investment System’ as possible.
Of course, in the case of skills that increase vitality recovery speed, you can purchase them if it becomes too difficult, but other than that, you should invest in awakening points to gain points to make your future easier.
[15000pt investment completed!]
With that in mind, I invested all the points I had accumulated in the system into alertness, closed the system window, and lay down on the bed.
“Cluck! Cough!!”
After pounding my chest and coughing for a while, I began to close my eyes again, feeling the fatigue that did not go away no matter how much I slept…
– Knock knock
When someone knocked on the room, I frowned and shouted.
“…who is this!?”
Then the door opened quietly, and someone slowly walked in.
“…Isolette?”
“Don’t call my name in vain, Frey.”
Isolette, who was glaring at me while holding a basket in one hand, answered with a cold expression when I called her name, and sat down on the chair next to the bed.
“Why are you here…”
“I came to give you this.”
When I looked at her quizzically and said, she, who still had a cold expression on her face, put the basket on my bedside and said,
“Your brother told you to tell it.”
After hearing that, I quietly rummaged through the basket and found that it contained snacks and fruit.
‘…aria.’
And when I saw that, I couldn’t help but sigh deeply and hold my head.
Among Isolette, Aria, and Serena, who are most likely to be cursed in the system’s final trial, Isolette and Serena have already completed the task.
Thanks to this, Isolette turned her back on me after the ‘performance evaluation kidnapping incident’, and although Serena still has affection for me, I was able to at least erase her worries.
But my sister Aria… still seems worried about me when she looks at this basket.
“…Frey, I have something to ask you.”
“What.”
For a moment, I thought about my cute little sister who would follow me around when I was little and smile brightly whenever our eyes met, and I answered bluntly without even looking at Isolette.
“There is a rumor going around that you are in cahoots with the Demon King’s army.”

“so?”
“…Is that true?”
As she said that, Isolette calmly began to look down at me.
“Ha, that’s funny. If you were a member of the Demon King’s army… do you think you would tell me it was true if I asked you?”
“Look me straight in the eyes and answer me, Frey.”
“if it’s right?”
When I raised the corners of my mouth slightly and spoke, she gently placed her hand on the sword she was wearing at her waist and said.
“…Was the rumor really true?”
“Are you trying to kill me here? My sister is currently offering help to the Marquis of Bywalk…”
“Don’t call me ‘sister’, Frey.”
Her stubborn behavior seemed reminiscent of the past, so I unconsciously laughed and called her ‘sister’. When Isolette glared at me with a fierce look, she quietly looked to the side and said,
“Rumors don’t start for nothing, right?”
“That means I admit that you are the Demon King’s army…”
“…but sometimes it can be exaggerated.”
After saying that, I covered myself with a blanket and spoke to Isolette in a low voice.
“Go back now. If you’ve done your business.”
“…ha.”
Then Isolette stood up with a sigh and headed toward the entrance, then slowly looked back and opened her mouth.
“Oh, my sister asked me to tell you something.”
“…Aria?”
“I don’t have the confidence to love you anymore, so if you’re hiding something, please let me know quickly.”
She said that and was about to open the front door and leave, but then added a cold word.
“…Well, if you’re hiding something, you’ll only be disappointed if you hear it.”
After saying that, Isolette slammed the door shut, and for a moment, the only sound was the sound of people walking down the hallway.
“…Whew.”
Her words seemed to be ringing in my ears, so I quietly closed my eyes and gave myself over to the drowsiness that came over me.
But, for some reason, I can’t sleep.
“…..?”
Now I see that the drowsiness that had been bothering me so much until now has completely disappeared.
“…what?”
– Knock knock
While I was quite embarrassed by the unknown situation, I started hearing knocking again.
As a result, I frowned and hit the pillow hard, speaking in a very tired voice.
“…who is this.”
“Are you being a little rude today?”
Then a girl came into my room with light steps. I looked at her blankly, then tilted her head and asked.
“…What’s going on here?”
“You would have said I was rude.”
Then, before I knew it, Klarna naturally sat down on the chair next to me with her legs crossed and started talking with a smile on her face.
“Shall we have tea time?”
“…what?”
I started to look at Klarna with a puzzled expression, but she didn’t care and clapped her hands three times.
“”…Did you call me, Princess?””
“I’d like to have a little tea time with Frey, so please.”
Then, her servants all opened their mouths outside, and Klarna smiled at them and asked them to prepare tea time, then looked at me and said,
“When did you so excitedly propose to me, and why are you lying down like that?”
“…Are you here to make fun of me?”
I asked with a frown, but Klarna only smiled.
“Oh, thank you.”
Soon, a yellow desk was placed between my bed and her chair, and various desserts and drinks began to be placed there.
“Now, have a drink.”
Finally, she held out the steaming tea to me and said,
“…Do you know what’s going to be here?
Of course, the current Klana could easily have poisoned me, so of course I was appalled and stepped back, but suddenly the princess made a puzzled expression and opened her mouth.
“You… you look very strange today. Why are you like that?”
“…what?”
Then she suddenly grabbed my hand and started talking with a sad expression on her face.
“I’m still grateful that you used the oath to save me last time.”
“Ahhh…”
“I really don’t know how to repay this favor. Although I have little power right now, there is nothing I can do for you…”
“no!!!”
When I heard what came out of her words, I was scared and jumped up from my seat.
“Kya!?”
“Loss, penalty… penalty…!”
Soon, I began to tremble with anxiety that a penalty window would appear in front of me, but…
“Why on earth are you doing that?”
“…what?”
I don’t know why, but the penalty window did not appear.
I was stunned for a moment by this incomprehensible situation, and then carefully sat down. Clanna, who had tilted her head for a moment, calmed her voice and continued talking.
“Hmm, anyway… if I come to power, I will repay this favor twice… no, twice as much.”
“…….”
“Uh…is this too unrealistic?”
As I was still dazed, not fully understanding the situation, Klarna asked with a slightly embarrassed smile.
“Doesn’t it seem like a far-fetched dream even for Frey?”
“…I think it’s a dream that can be fully realized.”
As I looked at her like that, I ended up answering without realizing it.
“…Tsk.”
Then, after hearing what I said, the princess lowered her head and started wiggling her fingers.
“…thank you.”
I looked at the princess, who was blushing with surprise and embarrassment at the words that unconsciously came out of her mouth, when she suddenly snapped her fingers and spoke in a solemn voice.
“Make sure you take out what you have prepared.”
“…Yes, princess.”
Then the servant waiting next to him placed something on the desk.
“Open it. It’s my gift.”
“…hmm.”
I opened it carefully, fearing that a bomb might explode or something like a knife would come out the moment I opened it, and there was a cat-shaped cake.
“Hey, I’m sorry, but… I prepared it.”
Then the princess, who was speaking again with her head down, blushed red and added hastily.
“Well, it’s nothing special… I just heard that Mr. Frey likes cats…”
After speaking, Klarna started wiggling her fingers again, and I was lost in thought as I stared at the princess.
‘what? Was it really Klarna who noticed my evil? But… even so, isn’t there at least one strange thing?’
– Sigh…
While I was breaking out in a cold sweat due to the incomprehensible situation, the door suddenly opened and someone came in.
“…Oh my, are you planning to have a birthday party already?”
“Serena, why are you here?”
Serena, who was glaring at Klarna with a sharp expression, naturally sat down next to me and answered with a smile when Klarna asked with a frown.
“I came to see my fiancé who celebrated his birthday today. Is there any reason not to?”
“…Frey was having an important conversation with me right now.”
“You even prepared a birthday cake?”
“…This is a gift to Mr. Frey as a thank you for saving me last time. It’s completely coincidental that it coincides with your birthday. By the way, it’s rude to interrupt the conversation, Serena.”
“I made a reservation in advance. The third princess was the one who interrupted the reservation. Isn’t that right, Frey?”
Soon, Serena smiled and started fighting with Klarna, and as I was staring at them, I spoke in a low voice.
“…My birthday is in two weeks?”
“Yes, is that possible? My informant is definitely…”
“Oh my, didn’t you just say it was a coincidence that our birthdays coincided?”
“…Tsk.”
Then, Klarna, who had a puzzled expression on her face, silently closed her mouth after hearing Serena’s point, and Serena, who was glaring sharply at her, looked at me and said,
“Today is your birthday, Freyr. I guess you’ve been so busy fighting the Demon Lord these days that you forgot?”
“….sigh!”
I was once again frightened and waited for the system window to pop up because Serena said with a confident expression that I was fighting the devil’s army without even adding the ‘probably’ restriction I had placed on her, but…
“Hmm? Why are you doing that?”
“…Oh, no. Nothing.”
For some reason, the system window did not open this time either.
Just when my head was starting to overload in that situation, the front door opened again and someone came in.
– Pubbung! pop!
“…Hmph!”
Soon, a loud noise began to erupt, which brought back memories of the previous episode and I lowered my head in horror.
“Happy birthday~!”
But what fell in front of me were not magic bullets or bombs, but confetti, and the person who shot them was Perloche, who was smiling brightly.
“…omg!”
Perloche, who was smiling brightly, wondering what was so good about it, opened her mouth wide when Klana and Serena started glaring at her covered in confetti, and hurriedly ran over and shouted.
“S-sorry!”
Before long, she was bowing down to Klana and Serena, knocking the colored paper off her head one by one, then suddenly looked at me and said.
“By the way, was it tomorrow that we decided to go volunteer at the orphanage together?”
“…That was the important promise you had for tomorrow, Frey.”
“What are you trying to do with the student council?”
Then Klana and Serena started glaring at me coldly at the same time.
“…….”
However, I kept silent as I thought deeply about the penalty window that did not appear this time, and thanks to that, while the girls who were staring at me were embarrassed, the front door opened once again.
“W-what… why are there so many people…”
Soon, Irina, who was cautiously entering the room, began to look embarrassed by the unexpected variable.
“Uh, so… take this.”
She stopped and hesitated for a while, then took out a small gift package from her arms and handed it to me.
“Well, this is my repayment for saving me from the disciplinary committee last time.”
I carefully accepted the gift, and my face began to harden at her continued words.
“Well, then… I’ll just leave.”
“wait a minute!”
Eventually, Irina, who was in a cold sweat, quickly tried to leave the room, but Perloce grabbed her arm and forcibly dragged her towards her, making her sit down and saying.
“Why don’t you do that, Irina, let’s have a birthday party together!”
“Let’s go together?”
“Yes! The more people there are at a party like this, the better!”
As Perloce spoke brightly, Klana and Serena started clearing their throats, and then Perloce, who had been staring at them blankly, tilted his head and asked.
“Why are you doing that? Do you have a sore throat? If it hurts, I can heal it…!”
– Sigh…
Just as Perloche looked worried and was about to unleash her holy power, the front door opened again and someone slowly walked in.
“Ah, Ms. Kania is here too!”
Perloche quickly grabbed Cania, who was quietly looking at us, brought her in, and sat her down. He spoke to Klana and Serena, who were looking relieved.
“Then, let’s get the party started!!”
After a while, the candles in the cat cake began to burn.
“Hmm, happy birthday, Mr. Frey.”
“You, next time, talk to me in advance…”
“I’m sure the Sun God will be happy about today!”
“…congratulations.”
Looking at the candlelight, Klana, Serena, Perloce, and Irina started saying something one by one, but I couldn’t look at them.
‘…the system, you crazy bastard.’
Because I finally figured out what happened.
When I didn’t react to the painful and painful scene, the system’s ordeal seemed to have decided to show me a happy and enjoyable scene.
Even, my birthday event that actually happens when I ride the standard route.
“………….”
“Frey? Why are you doing this again?”
“You’re a little strange today.
“Mr. Frey? Are you hurt?”
“…what’s the matter?”
As I lowered my head and remained silent, the heroines looked at me worriedly and started saying one word at a time.
‘No… My choice is right… If I had taken this route, I might have been happy at the time… but at the end, everyone would die… After all, it was my choice…’
I kept muttering those words in my mind and tried to ignore them and started waiting for my mind to clear up…
“Master, hurry up and blow it.”
“…Cania?”
Before I knew it, Kania had come next to me, grabbed my shoulder, smiled, and asked me with a puzzled expression.
“Did you come into my dream?”
“You were sweating and groaning until late at night, so I came to you at the risk of being rude.”
“…under.”
At those words, I started looking at the cake with an awkward smile, and then Serena next to me suddenly smiled and started talking.
“Well, I kind of know what this is.”
“…Serena?”
“Okay, go ahead and eat the cake. I don’t care.”
As she said that, she gently grabbed my left shoulder.
“You guys… I brought you the cake, right?”
Then Klana, who was blushing and indignant, soon sighed and said.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but… Bake the cake, Frey. I’m not sure, but it seems right.”
“That’s right! The sun god… no, that’s what I think too!”
“…What are you doing, don’t blow it quickly?”
Soon, everyone sitting in the seats began to encourage me, and I stared at them for a moment, then blew out the candles on the cake and muttered to myself.
‘…As expected, I was right.’
– Whoop!
The moment the candle went out, I found myself staring blankly up at the ceiling of my dormitory.
“I’ll order it in the same shape from the bakery in advance.”
“…thank you.”
Eventually, after answering Kania who was talking quietly next to me, I began to stare at the window.
“…I guess this fantasy isn’t that bad.”
It was an unusually moonlit night.
.
“ah…”
Meanwhile, at that time, Serena, who had the same dream as all the other main heroines and woke up at the same time, was staring blankly at the window.
“…It was a dream.”
As the image of Frey blowing out the candles with a happier smile than ever kept flashing before her eyes, Serena, who thought she was done sleeping for the night, sighed and got up to read a book…
“It’s so strange for you to even wake up, isn’t it?”
“…!”
When the magic tower suddenly spoke next to him, his eyes widened and he took out a fan from his arms.
– Takkong!
“ouch!!”
However, the magic tower lord, who quickly hit her on the head with his cane, smiled and said.
“Have your memories come back? Then tell the three generations of you not to spread my weakness.”
“Uhm…”
Serena, who held her head and stumbled for a while, soon muttered with a repentant smile.
“Frey, I thought that would be the case… maybe.”
“…Can I ask you one question?”
The magic tower owner, who was looking at her with a tired expression, asked Serena, who was urgently heading to her desk, a question.
“I don’t know what the hell you’re doing… but how far have you planned?”
“That’s it. This is unknown territory that even I can’t predict.”
Serena answered those words clearly and continued as she wrote a telegram to send to her subordinates.
“…So, we’ll have to make plans again.”
Ma Topju, who was watching her with a slightly interested expression, began to approach her to check the contents of the telegram.
“Oh, please return my memories to how they were before a little later. That’s a piece of cake for you, right?”
“What!?”
“And from now on, please come here every day at this time and give me back my memories.”
“Oh, this damn thing…!”
However, when Serena calmly made a ridiculous request, he got angry and raised his wand…
“…If this letter does not reach the three people, your secrets will soon be revealed to the empire.”
“ha…”
As she spoke, handing the telegram to the owl, he sat down in a chair with a liberated expression on his face.
“Why on earth are you making me do this crazy thing?”
Eventually, the magic tower lord asked her with an expression of injustice on the world’s face, and Serena muttered softly in the moonlight.
“…I have no choice because I have to be active at night to feed the sun god.”
“Ugh…”
Upon hearing those words, Matapju shook her head and sighed heavily, but when she found the letter on her desk, she frowned and began to reach out, but…
“…You shouldn’t look at other people’s things carelessly.”
When she came next to me and snatched the letter and glared at me, she asked with a belittling look on her face.
“What is that?”
“This one?”
Then Serena frowned slightly and answered.
“The only variable.”
As she said that, Klarna’s golden seal was shining on the outside of the envelope that Serena had slowly begun to corrode with the mana of the moon.
