245. Lina Feels Strange (2)

Lina doesn’t remember her past.

No, to be precise, she doesn’t remember ‘all’ the past.

From that moment on, her memory she was cut off as if it had been cut with a knife.

So far, she has been the world’s hero, slaying monsters, punishing evildoers, and preparing for her future by creating the Velvet Hunter Academy.

In fact, it was not due to any sense of justice or heroism.

Well, as time has passed, that side has come to exist…

In fact, her beginnings began with a very personal desire to fill the empty space in her her memory her her by having people recognize her her value her her.

The lord of magic and the world’s No. 1 magic awakener.

Demon Emperor, Lina.

She didn’t remember her childhood.

Just one.

Except for the locket necklace, which appears to be a keepsake from her mother.

However, at some point when Lina was active as a hero, she lost that piece of memory.

And she even forgot about the existence of her necklace, just like she should have.

Just the day before,

Until Jin Yu-ha came with the necklace.

‘······Jin Yuha.’

She didn’t even sleep,

She thought endlessly about her mother’s face in the locket necklace.

Layers of protection magic are applied to ensure safety from any attack magic,

Preservation magic is applied to keep it as new even after hundreds of years,

I wonder if I might lose it again. She even made hundreds of copies.

This was the only memory of her past she had left.

Let’s finish that work overnight.

I had a doubt.

‘Why can’t I remember the past?’

She

It seemed like he was strong from birth.

It seemed like she had been using magic like breathing since she was born.

It felt like I had been wielding transcendent power since I was born.

However, she knew better than anyone that that couldn’t be the case.

She must have had times when she was weak.

There must have been a time when he was just an ordinary person before his awakening.

Once again, Rina began to feel annoyed by the absence.

At the same time, a face appears in her mind.

‘······Jin Yuha.’

She stared at her necklace and remembered the male cadet who had brought back this memory for her.

The guy who is extremely arrogant and always shows a disrespectful attitude.

‘By any chance, that guy Jin Yu-ha… ‘Wouldn’t she know her own past as well?’

According to what I found out so far, no one knew about her past.

As if I had suddenly fallen into the world one day.

But, maybe.

What if Jin Yu-ha is that guy?

‘Yes, he guessed right that I can’t use my strength.’

She talks as if even the secret she kept to herself is natural.

Performance so far.

Attitude towards yourself.

A way to gather colleagues.

There was nothing artificial.

Watching him like that, Lina actually came to a somewhat tentative conclusion.

‘That guy has the ability to read the future.’

However, the future he knew was not always accurate.

Should I say that I feel like I know one of the endless possibilities of the future?

‘In that case, although it is unlikely, you may know the old me.’

Because that was the past, not the future.

She emptied her drink, watching the dawn break outside her window.

“Okay, I guess I’ll have to meet him and ask him. “Do you know anything about this body’s past?”

* * *

So, Lina looked for Jin Yu-ha from the morning.

He was not alone.

A woman with green hair hanging on to his arm

‘Cadet Ga-eul Lim.’

She remembered that her special ability she was to use the unrefined magic stone energy as if it were her her her her her her, and although it was not as powerful as her her her her her her, it was still an impressive ability.

“Junior dear~”

“Yes?”

“Would you please call me Your Majesty just once?”

“······Eek.”

“Eck! The reaction is too much! But, even though I was the king, I never once heard my junior tell me to abdicate! So, don’t hesitate!”

Lina shook her head, hiding her body with her invisibility magic.

‘Has she lost the intelligence that supported her in exchange for the specialness of her abilities… ‘

I felt like losing my memory was a hundred or a thousand times better than saying something stupid like that.

Lim Ga-eul, who was clinging to Jin Yu-ha and chatting with him about various things, soon left her place as if she remembered something else to do.

‘It was long. ‘Waste of precious time because of useless words…’

That was when he was about to reveal himself.

“Benefactor.”

This time, the transfer student named Ichikara approached Jin Yuha as if he had been waiting for her.

‘······That child’s abilities are also unique. It expanded the party’s mobility incredibly. Well, if it wasn’t a utopia, I wouldn’t have been so welcomed.’

“Uh, Ichika.”

“Hug me tight.”

“W-here? Well, hugging with everyone watching is a bit…”

“Hing.”

“But that doesn’t work. “I’ll stroke your head.”

“Hing?”

“You can’t say anything that you can’t say politely.”

I laughed out loud as he kept saying ridiculous things with an expressionless face.

Instead of hugging her, Ichika, after being stroked for a while, returned with her bird’s nest hair all messed up.

‘Where do they only pick up guys with missing screws like that… ? Is it really over now? You are making this body wait for a long time.’

At that time, a woman came again.

“Jin Yuha!”

“Ah, Shin Se-hee.”

“The weather is so nice today. I brought a lunch box. Would you like to drink together at the fountain in front of me?”

“Lunch box? Yeah, that’s good. Let’s go.”

Shin Se-hee.

Puzzle.

Lina bit her lip.

“Rover! Let’s revisit the swimming bet we made last time. “She rented out the entire indoor swimming pool at the academy.”

“Uh? Swim bet? Oh right. Come to think of it, Poppy Kang, you lost to me at Haeundae back then. At that time, you told me to call you baby. Why don’t you do it?”

“Well, that is! Just get over it, oh no! Again. Bury it there and double it…”

“Hmm…”

“Do it again!” Anyway, back again!”

Kang Do-hee.

Ppajik.

Lina’s veins sprouted on her forehead.

“Jin Yuha~ I bought a new camera! Please be the first subject of my new camera!”

“Well, it’s Sophia…” ” . “Didn’t you say you bought it new before?”

“Is it because I already took too many pictures and the lens quality has deteriorated?”

“Don’t you think it’s strange that something like that happened in less than a month…?”

“Well? Anyway! Quick!”

“·······Yes.”

Sophia.

Kuuk.

Lina’s hand was tightly gripped and strength went into it.

“Jin Yuha! A soup restaurant!”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Yuri Lee.

Lina, who had been patiently watching Jin Yuha, trembled all over as if she was about to explode.

‘This, this b*stard… Oh, what the hell! How many women are there!!! It’s not a utopia party, it’s a harem party!?’

Watching her giggle and change women all day like some kind of libertine of the past century, I felt like my five organs and six parts were turning upside down.

‘Is this really my successor…?’

Finally, Jin Yu-ha is left alone under the clock tower.

Okay. It’s really over now.

As far as she knows, among the Utopia PT members, there will be no one who stands out more.

You can ask questions without anyone interfering.

Phew…

This time, with a deep sigh, I was about to reveal my true self.

Swoosh─

Again, I felt someone’s popularity.

‘Still······? There’s still more left!? This trash b*stard really is!!! Oh wow, who is it again this time? ‘I’ll keep a close eye on you!’

However. The person who appeared this time was very unexpected.

‘Seo, Seolhee!?’

She tried to move through space right away.

She was slow to react because she never dreamed that Baek Seol-hee would appear here.

Because of that, Baek Seol-hee and her her eyes met her.

“What on earth are you doing there? Chairman Lina.”

This was the whole story of the incident.

* * *

I made an absurd expression while listening to her confession.

‘The chairman is asking me about his past?’

This situation was embarrassing because it was something that had never happened in a game.

Then suddenly I understood.

‘Well, the character you control in the game just acts as a hunter and accidentally hands you a locket necklace.’

There was no such thing as establishing a personal relationship with the chairman and talking about various things.

That’s why Chairman Rina always remained a helper and observer, watching the user’s party from a distance.

‘So, you thought I might know something, so you came to see me…’

I looked at the chairman blankly.

Past of the chairman?

Of course I know.

I’ve cleared the game to the end more than once, so there’s no way I wouldn’t know.

‘But is it right to say that here and now?’

Later, when you get to the final chapter, you will naturally remember everything.

‘As expected, it’s a bit weird because it’s so directly connected to the ending.’

I pretended to know something for no reason,

If I started thinking too much and drifted in a strange direction, I would turn the world to black and ruin it.

There really is no answer.

No matter what anyone says, she is the deus ex machina of this world.

Hmm.

‘Still, do you think you can tell me this much?’

I nodded.

“Yes, I know.”

“Also······. You don’t know either—what, what!? Oh, you know?”

Lina asks with a puzzled face.

‘Well, I don’t think Chairman Lee would break his own principles and access other people’s memories, but you never know.’

I left her like that and turned her head to the side.

“Instructor, if the Chairman tries to read my memories, is there a way to prevent that?”

Then Master calmly nodded.

“Possible. However, since the maintenance time is short, it would be better to learn it separately. I’ll teach you in the next training session. “I’ll do it now.”

“Thank you.”

He is also a teacher.

Wow─

Master placed his hand on my head and covered it with a thin mana barrier.

‘Okay, I’m relieved if this happens.’

“What on earth do you think of me?”

“But I can’t tell you everything right now.” Chairman, do you understand what I mean?”

“······.”

Then Lina closed her mouth.

Since she has many restrictions, she will interpret it as she pleases.

“Still, there is something I can tell you now.”

“What is that…”

Lina asked me with a trembling voice.

He seems quite nervous about hearing clues about his completely forgotten past

‘It’s not really about the past.’

I slowly opened my mouth, choosing my words.

“No matter what happened in your past, whatever it was, you always made the best choice.”

“······Best?”

“Yes, best. And I really respect you for that.”

This is not the Lina I met as a player outside of the game,

This was the true feeling I felt toward Lina while living as a member of this world.

“······Respect? “You me?”

Lina pointed at herself and me alternately, as if she had never thought she would hear me say something like this.

“Yes. Therefore. “I hope Chairman Lina will remain the same as she is now, and she will always be the person I know her to be.”

Lina stood with her mouth shut and looked at me like a mute.

However.

“Well, disciple…? “What is that…?”

To Baek Seol-hee, who was listening next to her, it was like a lightning bolt.
