323 – Vacation (1)

There was a brief commotion due to Luna’s nuclear bomb-sized snout, but somehow we were able to get over it.

First of all, Rize was very busy, so we had no choice but to be considerate. I was away for too long.

I think staying at the academy in the first place is quite unreasonable. He added that Byzantine was not always peaceful.

“Brother Sivar.”

“Yes.”

“I know you have a lot to say to me, but I don’t think now is the time.”

“Then when?”

It seems that Rize also vaguely noticed something. I was half sure when I saw him say something like that.

So when will we be able to reveal the whole truth? When I asked with that nuance, Rize smiled bitterly.

“There are a lot of things you can say, but it’s not perfect and you’ll likely end up standing still.”

“Hmm.”

“There must have been many times when you tried to say something to that person and ended up failing.”

“Ah.”

When I thought about it, it was like that. There were many times when a warrior stopped talking about the past.

Moreover, he even read the message that was printed only in my field of vision. Maybe he vaguely noticed it through that.

When I saw this, it was half clear that there were some restrictions. This is a restriction that even the purple warrior cannot refuse.

‘How serious is this?’

I became more curious. Aside from favoring believers, Chaos has very strict standards.

This can be seen in the fact that pleasure killers never join their congregation. A god with clear lines.

“But… I can tell you this much.”

“What is that?”

“From now on, the Gaia Church will be keeping an eye on Mr. Shivar. With an impure purpose.”

“··· ···”

I know that very well. Didn’t the priest of the religious order come to visit in person before?

It’s a shame that Rize covered it up properly at the time. If she hadn’t been there, things could have gotten complicated.

Moreover, the Gaia Church is a powerful group. Since it is related to life, it is natural.

“So, it’s probably best not to get too close. Oh, by the way, I trained Erica, so you don’t have to worry.”

“······Education?”

When I asked curiously, Rize just smiled. I don’t think there’s any need to ask the meaning behind that smile.

At least I was able to figure out that Erica was my support force.

“Is there anything you want to ask me?”

“Um…Nothing. Just be careful with the Gaia Church, right?”

“We must be careful not only of the Gaia Church but also of the temptations of demons.”

“Is it just in the forest?”

There are so many things to be careful about. It might not be a bad idea to stay locked up in the forest of chaos.

However, it is unlikely that a compass specifically for the Forest of Chaos has already been invented. There is no point in hiding.

It’s just that it’s too complicated. I thought I could simply proceed with the story, but my head hurts.

“I know it’s a difficult situation. But for now, I have no choice but to persevere.”

“Are you going to help me?”

“I will do my best to help wherever I can.”

If nothing else, it was reassuring that Rize was on the same team. The only being that can compete with purple.

Of course, this only applies to demons, but the only hostile purple colors right now are demons.

As long as the monster from the east wasn’t hostile, there was nothing to worry about.

“Oh, brother Sivar.”

“Huh?”

“If you want to return your body to its original state, you will only need to live deep in the Forest of Chaos for two to three days.”

“······?”

Rize said that to me before leaving. For your information, hair was still growing on my body little by little.

Even though it has only been a few hours since the hair was removed, it is already growing. Is this also due to regeneration?

Anyway, I couldn’t help but be skeptical when Rize gave such advice in such a situation.

“Do you know my body?”

“Yes. I am confident that I know better than anyone else…”

Rize is about to say something but stops. Please note that the message was not printed separately.

She looked my body up and down with a subtle expression and cleared her throat. At the same time, a slight blush bloomed.

“······Luna is making me have strange thoughts. Anyway, Brother Sivar’s body is very special. The speed at which it changes according to the environment is very fast.”

I think I know roughly what you mean. I felt that way when I was in Frozen.

At first, I almost died from the cold, but after eating a few monsters, my fur soon grew.

Therefore, if you catch a monster deep in the Forest of Chaos, there is a high possibility that it will return to its original form.

It was a bit ambiguous as it was only a theory, but Rize personally explained it.

“You know why, right?”

“Yes. It is difficult to go into detail, but I can say that it is closely related to Mr. Sivar’s birth.”

“Is it purple by any chance?”

“Huh?”

Rize opened her eyes round. They looked surprised when I said it out loud.

The part related to birth has already been revealed to some extent to be false. This body, and even the fact that I am someone’s ‘reincarnation’.

It is a body that has gone through reincarnation and regression. I remembered comparing myself to kimchi pizza and sweet and sour pork.

“Did you know?”

“The lie told me. She is the reincarnation of that woman.”

“Hmm… I see. Fortunately, the bald eagle didn’t tell me everything either.”

Rize also nodded, as if the birth itself didn’t really matter. There was no sign of displeasure at all.

But you call a lie a bald eagle? I almost burst out laughing.

Rize would be the only person who would criticize a purple-colored being for being bald.

“Anyway, Brother Sivar would have a body specialized for ‘evolution’. He would be able to easily adapt to any environment.”

“Evolution?”

“Yes. And even if you don’t have to eat, your body will gradually adapt. If you go to Tatar, your skin color will change within three days.”

That’s kind of interesting. I looked around my body.

“Oh. By the way, the fact that your skin color is unusually pale is just genetic. It will change for a while as you get used to it, but it will come back soon.”

“··· ···”

Thank you for the explanation. Thanks to you, one of my doubts has been resolved.

Afterwards, I talked to Rize about various things and then we parted ways.

I stared at her back as she walked away. She is a woman with many secrets.

When will all the secrets be revealed? And why did they place restrictions on her?

There seemed to be a mountain of questions, but it would be best to solve them one by one. There is a saying that the more urgent you are, the better you should go back.

‘There’s still plenty of time.’

If you worry about this or that, this or that or that may not work out. I turned around thinking that.

Apart from Rize leaving, there are still people inside. Each person must be dividing up the work to do.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if you say it’s something to do. All you have to do is have a good time at the academy.

The person who deserves the most attention is Kara. After the East, the next place where crisis occurs is Tatar.

‘Wouldn’t it normally explode simultaneously?’

According to the original history, I understand that to be the case. But things are a little different now.

In the East, there are only a lot of rumors and no rebellion has broken out. On the other hand, not Tatar.

At some point, it is expected to explode in the form of an ‘unexpected event’. I have no idea when that is.

‘I could go during vacation.’

The best time is field experience learning. I’m going to Tatar in the name of survival lessons.

The problem is that we don’t know when that time will be. In the end, we have no choice but to use people, not the flow of history.

‘I’m glad I’m close with all the main characters.’

With that in mind, I went inside. As I entered, a quiet atmosphere greeted me.

I was curious about this and looked inside, but there was no one there. Instead, I heard a noise from the backyard.

It is the sound of weapons colliding with each other. If you’re familiar with it, it’s a familiar noise.

‘Are we sparring at all?’

That is highly likely. Now that Rod is younger, understanding power is essential.

There was no need for me to go, so I sat down on a chair and waited quietly. There are leftover snacks on the table.

There isn’t much left, so you can eat it. It was a car that I was bored with at the time.

‘After the sparring, I need to have a chat with Luna.’

It is said that it has a nuclear bomb-level snout, but whether you like it or not, it is fate to be in the same boat.

She plans to at least let me know as much as she can. Along with my hidden secret.

She doesn’t have to cosplay as a wild person? To put it bluntly, it doesn’t matter.

Because there was a high possibility that she at least Luna wouldn’t mind. I can be sure of this.

“Ugh… It’s really hard and I’m dying…”

“You’re stronger than before, right?”

“It’s clear to see that they’re like this even though they’re all fighting together.”

Time passed and the sparring ended. While everyone is exhausted, Rod appears to be fine as expected.

From what I’ve heard, I’ve definitely become stronger than before I became younger. It is a bonus to say that if this fact spreads widely, Lorde’s status will rise further.

Soon vacation will end and new students will arrive. Before that, he plans to tell his professors about his condition

“Luna.”

“Huh?”

“Let’s talk for a moment.”

“Okay.”

While everyone was tired and taking a break, I called Luna for a moment.

She surprisingly didn’t look tired.

She eventually came to the clearing behind her and looked around her. No one will listen to our story.

There was no worry about Rod overhearing. He was just going out to deliver news to the professors.

“I have something to tell you. It concerns me.”

“With you?”

“Yes. Actually…”

I explained it well enough for her to understand. First of all, it’s about my future that is gone.

I originally grew up in an ordinary family, but for some reason I ended up like this.

It was also revealed that that was the time that was ‘my future’ and that time was forcibly turned back due to someone’s trick.

First of all, can I really say this? He pondered. However, it was a decision made after much consideration.

In the future, Luna will have to go through many stories with me, so I need to trust her.

“Really? Is it all true?”

“Yes.”

Naturally, Luna opened her eyes wide and was surprised. Her response is that she can hardly believe it.

This was fully expected up to this point. Then she looked me up and down and tilted her head.

“I had no idea. Is that all true?”

“Yes.”

“I thought you were a real wild person?”

“··· ···”

Is it a high level of spin-off? I looked at Luna, narrowing her eyes.

As if Luna had read my mind, she let out a fuss. This is an even more bewildering reaction.

“Shivar. Place your hand on your heart and think about what you have done so far.”

“Um…”

After hearing Luna’s words, she thought deeply. First of all, it was unusual from the beginning.

Starting with climbing the monument with bare hands, the extraordinary adventures that followed.

Can we really think of this as an ordinary person? No matter how many times I thought about it, the answer was ‘no’.

“I don’t know?”

Still, I tried my best to pretend not to know. The reason is simple.

I didn’t want to admit it. He did it for profit.

But it looks like our Luna didn’t see it that way. She said with a salty gaze.

“Shivar. Choose one of the two.”

“Yes.”

“Live as a mentally ill person or live as a wild person.”

“··· ···”

They’re putting up a fuss.

[Faith rises!]
