Regressor, Possessor, Reincarnator

Episode 61

Julius headed to the drawing room when he heard that there was a merchant who had come to visit him.

“Confucius, are you happy today? You look good.”

“Oh, Reina.”

Julius smiled as he watched her follow her as always.

“I think you can get some pretty good stuff at a decent price.”

“… Is that so?”

“Yeah, it’s all thanks to my reputation. After all, people are supposed to become famous, right?”

Reina thought about whether there was an instruction from the top.

‘I said nothing happened for a while.’

Before going to the academy, the only order was to follow Julius.

“If there is something good, I will share it with you.”

Julius entered the drawing room with a confident face.

A young merchant stood up in the parlor with a stupid face.

“Ah, hello! Nice to meet you!”

He seemed to have just started climbing.

Reina was skeptical of his youthful appearance to be called a top-tier master, but he quietly kept his mouth shut and sat behind Julius.

Most of the people who deceived Julius up until now have not had a good ending.

If you cheated on something, you should wait.

“Yeah, nice to meet you. Julius Reinhardt.”

“Yes, yes. I know. The fame has been heard!”

Perhaps his father-in-law was in a good mood, Julius talked a little more rather than making a deal right away.

“therefore… , there must have been other people besides me, so why do you want to do business with me?”

I have a brother and a father.

“Hmm, umm, okay? Well then… . By the way, can I see some things?”

Otherwise, laughter would explode like crazy.

As soon as the words came out, the merchant pulled out various items he had prepared in advance.

“Yeah, first of all, this item is Karen’s Elixir of Sunshine, which transforms the body’s magic into purity… .”

“Five… then… .”

In this way, Julius was able to obtain the Elixir of superior products at a lower price than the average market price.

After finishing the transaction, Julius smiled and opened his mouth.

“Yeah, if you continue to buy things like this… , I will continue to take care of you.”

Thus, Julius found a place to buy high-quality goods, and the merchant found a reliable supporter to protect him.

“Thank you very much!”

“I am very grateful.”

When Julius showed signs of getting up while packing up his belongings, the young merchant politely extended his hand.

“I wish you all the best in the future!”

The young merchant, no, Karik smiled broadly.

“okay. I wish you all the best in the future.”

Julius also smiled broadly.

Time is like a crashing wave.

As the first incident unfolded, people showed great interest in succession.

A chimera magician who kidnapped people.

A thief who broke into the festival.

A witch who spread curses.

And now even the warlocks who have invaded the forest of divine beasts.

No matter how common the incidents were, the successive incidents and the family’s actions to solve them could not help but get attention.

However, as time passed, people became accustomed to the change as if it was the case.

Efforts are being made to restore relations with the elves, and the surrounding estates have also begun to seek practical exchanges.

As the time to leave the mansion approached, Allen organized the things he had obtained from the Forest of Gods.

“Hmm… , was this the only thing you found?”

In front of him were several maps full of charred marks.

“Yes. As Confucius said, I looked around a few more places… , after all the hiding places that were left were cleared up.”

Shortly after killing the giant, Allen ordered her to check out some of the hiding places that were recorded in the Black Book.

Had things progressed as before the regression, we would have been able to obtain information related to what was behind this event… .

‘They’ll act like that.’

I thought I was paying attention to the butterfly effect.

I thought I could prepare enough, and I thought that I would lead the changed future to my advantage.

However, it was an illusion.

The present that Allen had changed little by little piled up and changed the future he knew, with the result that all the warlocks sacrificed themselves to exploding the powers of the divine beast.

This resulted in the warlocks cleaning up all traces of them.

“Sorry for not being of any help.”

Enelia had a gloomy expression on her face, thinking that she was of no help.

“No, there is nothing we can do about these guys because their behavior was unexpected.”

It was painful not to get the information, but I vaguely thought it would be like this.

Even where the giant escaped, we couldn’t find any useful information.

“… Even so.”

“Again, it’s your fault—”

“What are you doing! At this point, please stroke me saying it’s okay! It would be better if you hug me!”

Bestla shouted in a teasing tone.

“No, you don’t have to take responsibility.”

Allen ignored Bestla’s words ringing in his head.

“oh! I’m ignoring you again! Do you believe me? As an edgy genius beautiful girl, I will guarantee it!”

‘What is this beautiful sword girl.’ Allen looked at Bestla with a puzzled expression.

“what! Am I wrong? Please tell me it’s pretty! It would be okay to say that the blade is white! Have you ever seen such a pretty sword?”

What changed her mind, she now spoke to whomever Allen was talking to.

Even when asked the reason for it, Allen turned around and repeated it several times, to the point of ignoring her half-heartedly.

Even with his consolation, Enelia’s expression darkened as if she was interested.

“Look! Do you want me to believe you?”

Allen squeezed his eyes shut at the ferocious sound.

‘I’ll have to come up with an artifact that I can talk to in my head soon.’

It seemed that his patience would run out first.

Allen suddenly realized that she was alone, and changed the subject and asked a question.

“More than that, what is Linbell doing now?”

“Ah, Linbell… .”

Enelia answered with a vaguely smiling face.

“… I headed to the kitchen to make dessert for Confucius.”

“In addition?”

Allen had a tired face.

“Yes, I will tell you to stop if you feel uncomfortable.”

“… No. It’s not like it’s tasteless.”

Linbell is different.

I couldn’t say exactly where it changed, but the biggest change was simple.

“I’m going in, Confucius-”

that I am no longer in a hurry.

She seemed to have gained something from the ordeal of the Goddess, and was in a hurry from the past.

‘I think it’s true that something is happening in the ordeal… .’

The important thing is that she doesn’t even know about it.

It was because the power of the divine beast went wild.

Originally, each of us would have remembered the details of the ordeal.

However, whether it was the price of the ability to run wild enough to attract hundreds of people at the same time, Linbell, who was presumed to have passed the ordeal, could not avoid the aftermath.

“Confucius, have a drink.”

Allen, with her permission, entered the office and, with familiar hands, prepared tea and refreshments on the desk.

“I do.”

From her approaching, there was a peaceful scent of trees that calmed my heart.

‘This smell… , Woody side? It smells like sandalwood.’

“You started writing perfume.”

“yes! Eliza-sama recommended it.”

“I see… , Then did your mother choose the type of fragrance?”

“No, it’s a scent I picked myself.”

“It smells good.”

She answered him with a wide smile.

“It’s good, Confucius.”

It’s the scent you liked in your dreams.

Allen thought as she watched her skillfully brew tea, unlike before.

It seems certain that there is a reason for the change in attitude for some reason.

However, she had no choice but to back down because she said that she couldn’t remember, except for a few things.

‘There seems to be something hidden, but… .’

It seemed like he didn’t know anything about Julius, so he could skip that much.

He turned to her voice.

Linbell was looking straight at him with twinkling eyes.

Allen couldn’t win the glance with a certain meaning, and picked up a cookie with a sullen face.

“… It’s delicious today.”

A taste that is specially tailored to your taste.

The car was equally suited to his taste.

Seeing him as if he had been supporting him for several years had nothing but that sentiment.

Inelia seemed shocked by Linbell, who was a better cook than herself.

“I’m glad you liked it.”

“As I said before, you don’t have to.”

She smiled softly as if she remembered something at those words, and answered firmly.

“If you are… , do it yourself.”

Allen was a little embarrassed by her attitude, but he didn’t say anything.

‘It’s better than before.’

A month has passed.

As Allen was preparing to leave, he called Arcandus and asked him a few things.

“Finish the organization within half a year, so that you can come to the academy.”

“If it’s the Academy, are you talking about the place in the Great Desert of Galshudin?”

Allen nodded and handed him the papers that summarized Baron Fern’s whereabouts.

However, he did not tell him about the forces helping Julius or his suspicious appearance.

‘I wouldn’t believe it anyway.’

For such a competent person, it was more effective to find out than to tell.

Arcandus looked a little puzzled as to whether he could receive information so easily.

‘… I thought I’d give you light information at best.’

For several years, I tried to build trust and collect clues little by little.

But I’m already going to hand over the whole information.

“I don’t think that’s what I mean, but… , do you believe me that way? If I betray… .”

Especially since I didn’t think he would give out all the information about my father in the first place.

Allen shook his head as if he had nothing to say.

“I don’t believe in you. I believe in your earnestness. Didn’t you say you wanted to find your father?”

Arcanthus bowed his head with a complicated face.

He also instructed Sonned and Karik to send information regularly with a few instructions.

Taking care of such big and small tasks, Allen finished all the preparations.

“If something dangerous happens, you can come back.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

It was time to leave.

“… Don’t do anything reckless.”

Eliza looked at Julius, who was greeting Gaiel, and said to Allen.

“I don’t know what you are thinking… , don’t do anything dangerous.”

I’ll be careful, make a plan, and then act.

Perhaps she couldn’t find the light of abandonment on his face, she sighed.

“… You will be fine.”

Allen nodded silently at her words.

“Now go. Isn’t the ‘brother’ waiting for you?”

Julius shouted behind her voice.

“Brother Allen! welcome!”

The buds that fell asleep in winter rose, and even the cold wind became the season of spring’s fresh life.

“Okay, so don’t rush it.”

Time to head to the academy.

“You have to go to Galshudin Academy.

It was something I thought of after realizing that Julius had possessed the novel.”

flap-

“The idea was natural.

The academy was where the full-fledged story began after a little bit of the beginning of the protagonist’s growth.”

“The academy that we arrived at was amazing.

A place full of the essence of all the knowledge of mankind today.

It was a place overflowing with relics and new knowledge obtained from the ruins nestled in the great desert.”

『There were a lot of things that could be compared with modern times, and elves and dwarves, beasts and humans mixed to create a special atmosphere.』

“Well, it was natural.

This is because the purpose of this place was to nurture the next-generation heroes who will succeed the first warriors and the heroes who will assist them.

Even if its purpose has faded over time, the fact that talented people from all over the world flock to it doesn’t change… 』

Allen closed the black book.

This is because the character string behind the read page was darkened and could not be read.

As time goes on, each letter will become clearer, but the necessary information has already been obtained.

‘Galshdin Academy.’

Allen didn’t know much about him.

At best, it was built on the holy sword used by the first hero, and that the holy sword had not yet found its owner.

And the fact that two of the Eight Rivers are always stationed according to their turn.

It was difficult to confirm the authenticity of the information beyond that, as there were so many different rumors.

But one thing was certain.

‘That there might be a way to find my brother.’

He hoped for things like the great library open to academy cadets and the auction house that rumors didn’t exist.

Vestla’s voice echoed through his head as Allen was organizing his academy to-dos in his head.

“Tell me a funny story! If possible, the story of defeating the dragon would be fine! You talk to me because I’m afraid I’ll be bored too! How good is it that we help each other?”

“… Can’t you enjoy a little contemplation?”

Galshudin Great Desert.

So, it’s been a month since I left the family.

“It was already boring! Or how do you let me have a conversation?”

Allen’s party was heading to the nearest city to the Academy.

Since the Reinhardt family was located in the western part of the continent, it had to take a long time to reach the Great Desert located in the center of the continent.

“Confucius, are you really talking to the sword?”

I had seen Linbell several times, but the more I looked at it, the more it was strange.

Inelia didn’t even say anything, but, curiously, whenever the sword floated in the air alone, she flapped her long ears and peered.

“Is this the first time you see what the sword says? Aren’t you so excited?”

“What are you talking about now?”

“Ahhh! Because it’s so boring! You, find a way quickly!”

Allen’s head was pounding.
