76. Goals

Hearing Ian’s words, Aire Elnes’ eyes twinkled.

The story of catching the demon king, how absurd it was, was not even used in children’s children’s books.

To the extent that some delusional locked up in a closet can imagine, catching the Demon King has already become a far cry from humanity.

But now, the man in front of me proudly introduced that stupid thing was my dream.

A fool recognizes a fool.

A genius is how to recognize a genius.

“Is there any way?”

“Not yet.”

“What are your plans?”

“things will work out.”

“Ahahaha! I don’t have a method or a plan, can you say it so proudly?”

What was so funny, the maid standing behind Ayre couldn’t understand why the young lady was smiling.

Do you really believe in such nonsense?

“Okay, let’s do it now.”

“miss!?”

The maid, who had been listening to Aire’s story behind her back, was terrified and stopped her. She would often make wild decisions.

In times like these, it is the duty of a vassal not to let my master go astray!

“Lady, please reconsider. Defeating the Demon King, the resources to use for such nonsense… .”

“why?”

“Yes?”

“Why not?”

Aire looked at the maid with her twin eyes twinkling. If they objected, they were looking to give a reasonable, convincing reason.

The maid realized that there was only a very common sense reason to answer, and she solved it so that a young lady who did not even know such common sense could easily understand it.

“First of all, it’s something no one has ever done before.”

“Okay! We are the first!”

“… It means that even that great First Emperor, His Majesty, has failed.”

“yes! We can succeed in His Majesty’s footsteps.”

“It’s absurd. It will definitely fail.”

“Nivea.”

Aire, who called the maid’s name, looked back slightly and glared at her with cold eyes.

“Before, no, no, no… I don’t want to hear that.”

“but… … .”

“Ian Clark. Can you do it?”

“of course.”

Ian, who was called, showed exaggerated movements like a hero in the story and bowed his head in front of Ayre.

“You can.”

“great-! Anything you need-.”

“Ah, then it’s over.”

Hearing the conversation between the two, the maid felt like she was going crazy. The first thing that hit her head was the appearance of a duke screaming, “Why couldn’t I stop her?”

* * *

After Ian had been promised all kinds of aid and left, Nivea, who was left alone with Ayre, asked her again.

“Girl, if you want to change your mind even now… … .”

“no!”

Aire, who shouted with a lively voice, lay on the bed and swung her feet, thinking about the privileges that Ian would gain after capturing the Demon King.

To Nivea, it was like a bum holding a lottery ticket that could never have been won and imagining life after winning.

“… No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think he’ll be successful.”

“Nivea.”

“Yes, lady.”

“If the… Long ago, did anyone believe that humans could summon dragons or mythical heroes?”

“In the distant past, there would have been no summoners, of course there were none.”

“But now, even the weaned child believes in the existence of summoners.”

Ayre said that analogy and got up. In her eyes, which were always pure, there was a gun that you would not normally see.

“If it was said ten years ago that there was a person who could summon several summoned beasts, would anyone have believed it?”

“The second coming of the first emperor has not been seen for hundreds of years, so perhaps no one would have believed it… .”

“Then what about the rumor that a cadet defeated a high-ranking demon by himself?”

“If it’s the peasant’s son, he inherits a 4-star summoned beast, so I think it’s not going to be impossible… .”

“Then, how about taking it one step further and defeating the superlative demons alone?”

“Impossible.”

With that assertion, Nivea thought that all these questions seemed to refer to one person.

Each and every story is just an impossible story, but what if the combined story is the story of one person?

Paradoxically, this is also true.

“I hope all of the stories you just told me… .”

“He’s a man who has come up with a story that, up until a few months ago, would have been treated like an idiot.”

There are people who directly reproduce the story that everyone will say is nonsense and stupid.

People call him a hero.

“His goals are also really stupid, but… It doesn’t seem impossible.”

Watching the impossible become possible over and over again, people are more and more dazzled by it.

Or maybe the impossible is just a limit you set yourself, and in reality it is not a big deal?

That’s how you want to believe it.

“… … Nivea.”

“-Yes, lady.”

“I want to eat cake!”

“We will prepare it soon.”

“yeah-!”

Always showing a foolish side, but occasionally showing insight made her seem like a different person.

Nivea went to the kitchen in awe to carry out her orders.

* * *

After a large lunch, I went out and headed back to the student cafeteria. It was very late for lunch, but what should I do, I was still hungry after eating like that.

‘Have you got any parasites in your stomach?’

I thought about it like that, but filling my stomach was the first priority.

When I returned to my seat after ordering a set meal from the restaurant, somehow, Noah and Stella, who had been eating until this late hour, caught my eye.

I thought something was going to happen, so I grabbed a plate and went to the two of them, and their eyes widened as if they were asking why you were here.

“Why do you look like that?”

“you… Didn’t you go to Aire-senpai?”

“I’ve been there.”

“… Have you had any problems?”

“Well, I’m addicted.”

“What!?”

Stella was horrified at the word that she had been poisoned and banged her desk! hit it It’s a pity that there was no one around because it was time for class to start soon, but if it had been normal, my eyes would have been focused.

“what are you doing?”

“I’m addicted! Are you okay!? Ayre, that idiot is crawling… !”

“… Are you kidding me?”

“… Joke?”

Stella, who was giving out heat, heard that I was joking, looked at me blankly for a moment, then sighed in relief and sat down on her seat.

After that, with her arms crossed and her legs crossed, she glared at me with bitter eyes.

“… How do you even think of making such a joke?”

“Um- because it’s true that you’re addicted?”

“Are you joking again?”

“I’m addicted to Aire-senpai’s cuteness.”

“… What kind of joke is that?”

As I passed on the aegyo I had heard from Ayre, Stella, who did not understand, tilted her head and looked at me as if I was talking nonsense.

I laughed out loud and tried to get over this situation with laughter, and Noah, who understood the meaning behind the scenes, let out a sigh.

“Ah- so, is this it? braided-! Ian, you’re addicted! To my cuteness!”

“Is that fashionable?”

“yes! Is it from [Aegyo White Paper for Young lady]? Academy Bestseller!”

“Did you buy that?”

“I heard that reading books is helpful for culture, hehe.”

Noah said so and scratched the back of his head. Because it is a book, books in this world would be very expensive, but after a moment I wondered how she got them, I remembered that she had a lot of money.

‘right. He got a reward from the academy.’

Didn’t he even concede some of that reward to himself? That was only a few months ago, and it has already faded.

After hearing Noah’s conversation, Stella sneakily approached Noah as if there was such a thing, and began to whisper.

The two of them shook their heads to see what they had been talking about, and after shaking hands, they looked back at me.

“So, what did you do at Aire-senpai’s house?”

“I ate.”

“… Do you eat and then eat again?”

“Oh, this?”

I looked down at the half-eaten set meal. I think it would be enough to eat all of this, but it was already too late at the latest, so it was very difficult to order another one.

“I’m hungry.”

“What disease do you have?”

“Maybe.”

I can’t guess this either. In the first place, there is no way to describe the player character eating rice in the game, so there is no way to have any knowledge related to this.

I was the only one with three or more summoners, so I had to ask someone for advice.

‘Until Theresia, this had never happened.’

What is the difference between two summons and three summons? After a lot of thought, I realized one big difference.

‘… … Hey Empress.’

[why? Summoner?]

‘You guys, aren’t you hungry?’

[There is no way you can feel hunger trapped in this stuffy pattern, right?]

‘So, they’re not even supplying anything.’

Humans spend 20% of their daily energy expenditure on thinking.

And they think every day without any supplements.

Where the hell does that energy come from?

‘It’s not like energy is gushing out of the ground.’

It’s probably taking that energy away from me. My body is telling me to eat more to replenish that energy.

However, it is not possible to order the summons to stop thinking, so I will probably continue to eat like this in the future.

Finding a plausible reason for being insanely hungry, I stopped my strange thoughts and recalled the conversation I had with Ayre.

“From Aire-senpai, I decided to receive various aids.”

“… … Help?”

“Literally, support.”

I plan to continue my relationship with her while receiving aid, so in a way it can be called an aid relationship.

Of course, it wasn’t such a dirty relationship.

Stella seemed very reluctant to receive such a thing from someone other than herself, from a family other than her own.

“Of course, you will get it too.”

“What are you talking about? Being completely connected with the Elnes family… .”

“not really? Were you thinking of skipping the honey?”

He gently smiled at Stella, who looked at me as if embarrassed by my words.

That’s why you shouldn’t be born aristocrats. Whenever I have time, I try to monopolize someone. I didn’t even know it was a handshake.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t talked to you guys yet.”

After all, since I talked to Ayre, I had to tell them too.

“About my goals.”

“… target?”

“By the way, Ian, I never heard of what you wanted to do.”

My dream, my goal. That is, of course, to return to Earth with a healthy body.

And of course, in order to achieve that goal… … .

“Catch the Demon King.”

It is extremely difficult to do alone. In terms of the story, even a sensible player with millions of won can eventually achieve it by borrowing the power of the four major families and summoners.

So-.

“Everyone gets along well.”
