I Possessed The Villain’s Childhood Friend

59 – Beginning

The vacation has begun.

A time to rest the body and mind exhausted from studying and exams for two long months.

“Long time no see, Noel.”

“Yes, boy.”

Noel, whom I have seen for the first time in almost four months, bowed his head at me and said hello.

“You must have suffered a lot.”

“Thank you.”

With a rattling sound, just before the carriage departs.

“Ike.”

I heard a voice calling my name outside.

When I looked out the window, I saw Reina waving her hand at me and Anna bowing her head.

Reina looked around Reinen with Anna and said she was leaving at lunchtime.

I gently nodded her head at them.

“Wow!”

With the sound of Noel’s spirit, the carriage started.

On the way back to Akkad, my hometown after a long absence.

The sky was clear.

“I’m back, Father.”

“Yes.”

The first thing I did after returning to my home in Akkad was to say hello to my father, who was handling public affairs in the office.

My father, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, looked at me with a blunt face, then lowered his gaze to the papers.

“I heard that many things happened in Arcana.”

“Yes, I am.”

“I had a hard time. Let’s talk about it for a while, then we’ll listen to it at mealtime.”

“Okay.”

I bowed my head and left the office.

Outside, my mother was waiting for me.

“Long time no see, Ike.”

“I’m back, mother.”

I bowed my head again to my mother who greeted me with a bright smile.

“Are you tired? Rest in your room for now.”

As my mother said, my body was very stiff after spending almost all of my time in the carriage for four days.

Of course, I got off the carriage to eat and sleep, but other than that, I sat in the carriage.

I have to go through this again when I return to Arcana in two months.

I’d rather stay in Arcana during vacation.

It’s a little bit, but I felt that kind of regret.

The feeling of comfort was stronger when I returned to my hometown, so all of that feeling disappeared.

“Ha ha.”

But as my mother said, I was tired right now, so I changed my clothes and returned to my room and threw myself on the bed.

Coming to think of it, I won’t be able to see you this time.

Now that I belong to the knights and are on the front line, there is nothing I can do.

“For now, let’s go to sleep.”

Actually, I wasn’t sleepy.

But it’s human nature to close your eyes when you lie down.

I was quietly blinking at the sudden arrival.

There is a lot of work to be done in the future.

Still, wouldn’t it be okay to sleep off the fatigue accumulated over the past four days?

If you sleep too much, you won’t be able to sleep at night, but it will be difficult, but for about 2 hours….

Noel will wake you up in time for lunch anyway.

★

I fell asleep thinking that, and woke up at 6 o’clock in the evening.

‘My wife said she might be tired and it would be best not to wake her up.’

I couldn’t understand it, so I asked Noel, and the answer came back.

I had no intention of sleeping this long.

But it’s already past.

There was nothing good to worry about for a long time.

I slowly changed my clothes and went to the restaurant for dinner.

And what I saw in the restaurant.

“Oh.”

For some reason, the word fancy would not be enough.

Coming to think of it, I always felt this way when my older brother came back from Arcana for vacation.

I think I can understand the feelings of my older brother who said that he waited for vacation every time.

“Ike, did you get a good night’s sleep?”

“Yes. Thank you, Mother.”

I had a short conversation with my mother, who came to the restaurant at the same time as me, and sat down.

After a while, the dinner started with my father arriving and sitting at the table of honor.

Needless to say, the family meal I had after a long time was wonderful.

Well, since most of my memories of food I ate in my previous life were bad, I was able to be satisfied with just about anything.

“I heard that there was an attack by an assailant in Arcana. There, Ike, there was no major damage thanks to you holding out for a long time.”

“Yes, I was lucky.”

“Tomorrow I will be able to sparring after a long time. Your skills must have improved a lot, right?”

“You can look forward to it.”

“I heard you went to the Magic Tower? At Charlotte-sama’s recommendation.”

“Yes, Mother. I didn’t learn magic separately, but I was able to learn a lot.”

After the meal, my family chatted without leaving the restaurant.

Of course, most of the topics were the stories I experienced while attending Arcana.

“So. Were you able to meet and talk with Miss Reina after a long time?”

“Richard, even if I contacted him directly, there was no response.”

When the topic of conversation was almost gone, my mother asked me that question.

My father was also looking at me with interest.

When you suddenly lost contact with Raina, the two of you knew that and were very worried.

In particular, her mother had a slight tendency to think of Reina as her daughter, so that was a little too much.

“There were no problems.”

Of course, this is a lie.

However, she could not say that Anna had disappeared, even if she was her parents.

“I think it was just because I was busy with work.”

“Then I am very fortunate.”

The mother sighed and stroked her chest.

Coming to think of it, I wonder if my parents don’t know about the rumors about me and Reina going around Arcana.

Of course, there are a lot of bad rumors mixed in, so it’s probably best that you haven’t heard.

“In the end, how do I do that?”

After dinner, I returned to my room, sat down at my desk, and opened my notebook.

It was a notebook in which I wrote down all the necessary information and the contents of the original work that came to mind after I possessed this world.

The story was written in the middle of the note.

‘Trial of the Magic Tower’

The first step for Sophia to become a saint.

Unfortunately, I skipped that part immediately due to my lack of skills.

“It’s difficult.”

If Sophia doesn’t become a saint, it will be really difficult.

It’s not me, but the Astraia Empire is in trouble.

Of course, nothing will happen right now, but it is unfortunate that Sophia does not have her saintly power in the final battle with Avatar.

Even if Reina creates a world where she can connect with the crown prince, if the empire perishes, it will be a complete turnaround.

“Should I force myself to push?”

Now that I have become close with Atal.

It wasn’t particularly impossible if you insisted.

You can take a test to check the saintess’ qualifications.

But if that happens, there is also a problem with legitimacy.

Because justification is also quite important in order to hold a position.

“… It’s really troubling.”

Will I be able to find the correct answer?

My head was pounding.

Well, Avatar will start to work properly from next year, so there is still plenty of time.

I had no choice but to think so.

★

It was a dark and spacious room.

A man in a hood was sitting on a huge chair.

The chair was decorated with fancy jewels that did not match the atmosphere of the room.

As if it were said that those who can sit on this chair are the chosen ones.

The man didn’t feel awkward about it at all.

This was a very natural thing for him.

“He is back, Your Highness.”

“Tell them to come in.”

“Yes.”

At his command, the door to the room slowly opened.

A man entered slowly through the open door.

The huge man with a long scar on his right eye was the Rex who attacked Arcana.

“You came back late.”

“Sorry, Your Highness. There was quite a bit of chasing, and it took me a while to get away from them all.”

“Of course it is. Because we attacked Arcana from the front.”

The man laughed.

“Rex. You wouldn’t have spilled our names. But what are you going to do with the fact that you are already known to the Empire?”

“… Sorry.”

At the man’s reprimand, Rex gnashed his teeth and lowered his head.

Avatar’s obvious mistake was that anyone could see it, so even Rex couldn’t make any excuses.

“I think anyone can make mistakes. But I definitely said it. You don’t have to step out. This is the result of ignoring that word. Even you can’t just get over it.”

“I will gladly accept any punishment.”

“I am on probation for two months. I hope you can figure out what this means.”

“Okay.”

Without hesitation, Rex knelt down and took the example of master and servant.

“Okay. Shall I ask you one thing then?”

“I will answer anything.”

“Anyway, you must have obtained information from the raid on Arcana. I want to know that.”

Originally, this information was something her man would later hear from Ed, her staff member.

But the man couldn’t win over her curiosity.

No matter how much the arcana has barriers.

Even if the opponent is the golden generation.

I thought that Rex couldn’t handle anyone.

“Don’t hide it, tell the whole truth.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The man couldn’t help but wonder what had happened.

“Hmm.”

After Rex finished her story, she left her room, and her man was troubled.

“Are there more opponents to keep an eye on?”

To be honest, it was a completely different story from what her man had in mind.

Golden Generation of Arcana.

Among them, her man was actually the only one on guard.

Leon Aegis Astraia, who was called the greatest genius in the history of the empire.

She was a man who thought everyone except the crown prince was a loser.

However, the story Rex told was really unexpected.

‘First of all, the man I set out to kill, Ike Axus, is clearly hiding something. A knight with at least a minimum level of skill. I think he will probably grow more.’

The second son of the Axus family.

‘And Sophia Eris. She also seems to have an extraordinary talent for light attribute magic. No matter how shallow it was, it wouldn’t be easy to treat so many wounds at once with a single blast.’

A special student from commoners.

‘The most dangerous of all was Reina Rogelia, who was said to have reaped the traitor. What she used was no average student level magic. It seems right to regard it as a threat at least equal to Leon Aegis Astraia.’

Even the eldest daughter of the Roselia family.

“Isn’t the golden generation a lie?”

Of course, the man did not imagine that he would lose.

They sprout at best.

Avatar has been secretly working for hundreds of years, and it’s no different than a prepared fruit.

But I will never let my guard down.

“It’s a little early, but I think we should start preparing.”

The man thought quietly.

That’s how the story begins to twist.

In a direction no one expected.
