Chapter 105 – Minor Movements During Setup (Complete)

The problem is, no matter how much divine power and strong healing spells Arya has, physical contact is essential to heal my wounds.

“Show me the wound.”

“Aria, isn’t it awkward to ask for something while just giving orders?”

I pretended to hate her, but she knew very well what she liked.

“I ordered you too.”

Aria, who had a bad relationship with her party members for five years, had no one to talk to except for Haru Kang.

“Is it a sad order?”

“Yes, I ordered it, so show me your wounds without saying anything. Don’t make me say it over and over again.”

Arya, who hadn’t had a conversation in a while, continued her speech at length when I asked her what I had said.

“You used to just say something and it was over, but while I wasn’t seeing you, your way of speaking got weird and you talked a lot.”

“How was my tone in the past?”

“Even when I talked to him, he only answered with short answers. He didn’t even ask trivial questions, which is strange.”

Aria, who was sitting on the bed, and I, who were lying on the bed, forgot about treating the wounds and started talking about the past.
Most of the conversation was Arya, and I responded appropriately and listened to it, but it didn’t cut off.

“You, I asked if I was going to eat, but you shut your mouth and went into the room.”

“Hey, that’s because you called me an annoying bastard the other day.”

Arya’s expression went cold when I first refuted, who had only listened while agreeing with the incident.

“Yeah, I still think of you as an annoying bastard, so shut up and put on your clothes.”

“It’s cold again.”

Arya, who didn’t want to be dragged around by me anymore, recalled her bad relationship, and pretended to be calm and cast her healing spell.

“Put your clothes on.”

“Isn’t that a very raunchy request?”

I felt Arya’s contempt, her childish gaze, and it was the response I was hoping for. Arya’s gaze of her contempt will later go and somehow change.

“Haa… Show me the scars.”

Arya did not give up on her treatment even when she felt bad because she had to go to the court together, and raised her divine power.

“Do you put magic power in?”

“Let’s talk for another 10 minutes. I want to ask you something.”

“I don’t want to talk to you any more.”

Interfering with Arya’s treatment and ignoring her doctor, she asked the questions she wanted to ask.
In fact, as she has been holding her breath for the past few days, Arya’s check on her Grand Duchess has been coming in.

“Since yesterday, the dwarf clan has reduced the quantity of traded items. Did you do that?”

“No, dwarves are fickle, so they often change their appointments. Changes in the transaction quantity are basically written in the contract.”

As Arya said, dwarves change their disposition according to their mood.
When drafting the contract for mineral trade with the Grand Duke, there was a stipulation that the quantity of minerals was allowed to be adjusted within a certain range.
When making a contract with a capricious Dwarf, the contract itself would not be established if there were no such regulations.

“It’s not what you did.”

“I’ve been too busy with my work.”

The reason I asked the question, having no physical proof that Arya was holding the Grand Duchess in check, was not to restore the transaction amount to its original state.

“Aria, I’m going to fill the dwarven mineral flow from the elves side, what do you think?”

She emphasized that she had only told Arya about her plans to increase the frequency and quantity of her interactions with the elves.
As a result, when the amount of interaction with the elves increased and the Grand Duke’s family was checked, Arya became the prime suspect.

“Don’t ask me, you decide for yourself.”

“It’s a plan to increase the transaction volume of the grand duke’s family under the premise that the amount of exchanges with the elves in the imperial family will remain the same.”

“The royal family will maintain the status quo. You can increase the trading volume at will, but if it damages the royal family, it will be forcibly regulated.”

I recorded the scene where Audro allows Aria to interact with the elves.
Unlike Earth, on the Arkan continent, photos and videos taken without permission could have sufficient effect.

“Since the treatment is over, get up and go to the judge.”

He shook Arya lightly and paved the way to attack the elven mother and daughter, so he erased the magical power that hindered her healing spell.

“I thought Kang Haru would come, but it’s a pity.”

I wanted to feel the thrill of seeing Haru Kang witnessing Aria touching my body, but I regretted it.

“Aria, would you like to check the video before sending it to Haru Kang?”

“Stop talking about such plans.”

Arya responded calmly to my proposal because of her pride.
The road to the courthouse was the opposite of the medical staff, and I had a conversation where Arya despised or ignored any jokes I threw at her.

“Are you here?”

“Are you here?”

The judge, who arrived with Ari, took an hour’s break, leaving only the Duke of Veronia and Carltus.
Even though it was a trial to dispose of the Duke of Manox, the fact that it was being conducted so quietly was the result of my idea and overcoming the corresponding annoyance.

“What about public opinion?”

“Well, I’m shouting that Duke Manox should be executed immediately and all property should be handed over to the Duke of Veronia.”

I sent out the video of the trial using Odd and communication districts for the imperial family, the grand duke’s family, the duke’s family, and each major fiefdom.
The people of the Arkan Empire were able to check the corruption and atrocities of the Duke of Manox in real time.

“As long as the Archduke confirms it, it’s okay to end the trial.”

“So, for the trial to end, the people of the empire must come forward with someone they can trust.”

I had an intimate conversation with Carltus, the Duke of Veronia, and Arya witnessed all of this.
Arya returns to the courtroom and her head throbs as the Duke of Veronia and Caltus stick to me without even caring about herself.

‘Aria, it’s uncomfortable even if there’s no one to trust.’

Veronia and Caltus, who she thought were entirely on her side, were rather closer to me, and Arya would gradually become isolated from the imperial family.
Of course there will be Haru Kang, but she exceeded Arya’s expectations and she had no chance of becoming a competent person.

“Aria, in how many minutes will the trial resume?”

“Twenty minutes later…”

I returned to the courtroom and spoke to Arya for the first time, not to the Duke of Veronia and Caltus.

“That’s right. I brought my daughter, Winter, well!”

“Thank you, Ye Hang-hu.”

“It’s hot…”

Carltus turned his attention to Arya, and I sat on the side of the plaintiff and waited for the trial to resume.
Twenty minutes later, Duke Manox, who entered the courtroom, looked pale when he saw me sitting at the side of the plaintiff.

“Duke Manox, who has admitted all his sins, will sentence you to life imprisonment instead of the death penalty and send you to a labor camp in consideration of your contributions to the imperial family.”

The disposition of Duke Manox at the courtroom was incidental, so the evidence submission and testimony were quickly completed, and the trial proceeded swiftly.
My income from this trial is that I found out that the hidden item and Aria were copying Odd’s video.

“Arya, see you later.”

“I will never see you again.”

“I fell out because I couldn’t block a fist… I live quietly.”

In the farewell message we exchanged after dealing with Duke Manox and leaving the courthouse, Haru Kang spoke up about something he didn’t need to do.

“I worry about everything.”

“Turn off…!!”

“Winter!”

When Haru was in pain, Aria blew out my name, but she couldn’t stop her action.
She restrained Haru Kang’s body with her magic and tried to hit one of her high-ranking magic, but Carltus stopped it.

“Winter, since the judge’s collapsing, why don’t we go out and do it?”

“I won’t damage the building.”

A thin protective film was put on the court with the enormous amount of magical power that was used to restrain Kang Haru’s body.

“Aria, let’s get away.”

“I will try to prevent as much damage as possible.”

“Why! Why does everyone incite a fight between the two without stopping them?!”

Caltus hugged Arya and moved away from her while Veronia tried to block the aftermath of her magic.

“Whoa! You bastard!!”

As Haru Kang lost her magical powers that restrained Aria and her body, she threw her fist without hesitation.
Even though I was ineffective, I overpowered Haru Kang, and instead of dodging her fists, I used her magic to block her fists.

“Aaaaa!!!”

Whether Kang Haru, who punches like a beast, will give up first or my magical power will be exhausted.
If I were to bet, I wasn’t confident in losing this fight to the extent that I unconditionally bet on the latter.

The rough fists were blocked by magic power and lost power, and Haru Kang began to panic.

“A little bit right!!”

Even if Haru Kang had a martial arts master, his fists filled with pure strength were not a threat.

“Call out the name of the technique. They say it gives you strength?”

“Shut up!! Shut up!!”

I knew Haru Kang’s fighting habits and bad habits in detail, and the fight was cemented as my victory.
Even in the battle that was becoming more and more unfavorable to Haru Kang, Carltus and the Duke of Veronia stayed still, and even Arya could not intervene in the fight.

“If you only move your magic, you’ll be pushed back like this, but if you use magic, can you survive?”

“Use it if you’re curious! You bastard!!”

A useless guest hastened her life, and as the magic ceremony was chanted, a small light appeared above Haru Kang.

“Fuck!!! Say what you’re saying!!”

Even Kang Haru, who rolled and rolled in the dungeon for 5 years, had a fatal weakness, and I could use that weakness to create an advantageous match.

“Kwaaaaa!!!!”

Haru Kang, who had maximum resistance to fire and water, had no resistance to lightning.
In order to determine Haru Kang’s weakness, I did not write lightning magic in the novels from [Dungeon Explorer] To [6 Hero Battle].

“Were you able to use lightning magic?”

“I barely learned it from an ancient magic book.”

Carltus wasn’t worried about Kang Haru, whose body was charred, and showed interest in the lightning magic I used.

“Heuk…!! Heo-euk…! Heo-euk…”

“Kang Haru, breathe slowly and hold back your magic as much as possible.”

Only Arya clung to Haru Kang and unleashed her divine power, and her charred skin returned to its original state.

‘I’m going to overpower and write.’

It was a magic that was decided to subdue Haru Kang, and Arya poured her holy power to heal it, but as a result of using lightning magic once, it was the most efficient method.

“The trial is over, so I’m going to leave.”

“I’d love to.”

I couldn’t easily subdue Haru Kang, the main character of the novel, with just one lightning spell.
Carlthus helped me return to the grand duchy without mentioning my pale complexion.

‘The repulsive force is too great…’

The lightning magic that creates an overwhelming compatibility with Kang Haru took away more than 90% of his magical power with just one use.
The magic I had remaining was able to blow the highest level of magic dozens of times, and the inefficiency of lightning magic was quite serious.

‘They took the mana without conscience because they said it could only be used by themselves.’

Due to lack of magical power, the teleport coordinates could not be set, and the plan was revised by moving to coordinates roughly similar to the bedroom.

“There’s no easy way to go…”

The plan to eat raw using lightning magic never reappeared.
I was able to slowly look around the room I moved to by teleport thanks to my magic being restored little by little while revising my plan.

“Duke…?”

“Ah… Was Haeun’s room?”

I didn’t find anything out of the ordinary, but when Kang Ha-eun came in, the furniture I had picked out came into my eyes one by one.
