Chapter 263 – Academy (36) – I Need My Own Way

264. Academy (36) – I need my own way

When I woke up, I saw the ceiling in front of my eyes.

I roll my eyes to figure out where I am.

Old fashioned interior.
Wallpaper in a familiar color somewhere, and the specifications of windows and doors.

I could easily guess that this was one of the rooms in Charlotte’s mansion. As I thought about that, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief as my tense eyes relaxed a little. It was hard to come to my senses as I was being hacked to pieces by Armion, but anyway, as you can see, I survived. That was enough.

“That bitch…….”

It’s been a long time since swear words came out of my mouth.

In the meantime, I’ve been living in Juji Orphanage and wearing various masks…. This is the first time I’ve ever been so innocently angry. It felt like returning to reality after struggling in a pink world. I can still vividly feel the pain and Armion stabbing myself with a sword. The wounds were opened and the aura of sword energy was blown in. It really felt like all five organs were twisted.

Trembling body.

Whoa…! Let’s calm down. If you don’t overcome it somehow, it will remain as a trauma for the rest of your life and only you will lose.

Calm. Calm….

After a while, the maid who came to check my condition opened her eyes wide and left as she closed the door. And soon the door opened again and Charlotte with an excited face came in. The same goes for Lewin, who is dressed as a man. It seems that both of them have been waiting.

“You are awake. What a relief… !”
“Huh. Raul…. Really…. I’m so glad.”
“Thanks for the move, Charlotte. Thank you for worrying about Lewin.”

I asked them about the progress of their work.

Armion drove me to her near-death level her, but her Charlotte her intervened in her golden time and stopped her. After that, he slept for three full days and recovered by receiving various high-end potions and healing from wizards.

On the subject that made me half-baked, perhaps she was mocking me, saying that my charges had been cleared, and she returned to the kingdom of Bahin. My devastating breakup was fortunately kept a secret, with Charlotte hushing her division her. I was concerned about the kingdom and everything, but from my point of view, there was nothing good about rumors, so this kind of consideration was given. Come to think of it, I don’t know how they secretly moved it.

Charlotte, who was relieved that my condition was better than expected, asked what she had been curious about.

Why did Armion come all the way and pick me up and point me out?

“Therefore…. What relationship does she have with her? Why did he do that to you while putting a ridiculous frame on him?”
“That…”

I was thinking about what to say for a moment, then I remembered the setting I had made when I first came to this world. I had no memory of my childhood, but I thought seriously that it might have something to do with it. Since it was a real experience, a series of stories flowed smoothly, and Charlotte seemed to believe in the content itself.

“Indeed…. It seems that there is something tangled up in the story. There are also spells that manipulate the mind to erase memories. Your amazingly magic-friendly body and talent are not easily found in the world. It wasn’t just a coincidence.”

Charlotte pondered the setting I had created, then glanced at my face and smiled broadly.

“Well, that doesn’t matter. Raul is just Raul. The past doesn’t matter, does it?”

Charlotte interacting with me with a coy look.

“……… Wow.”

Then, as if Lewin, who was next to her, was also convinced of her relationship with her with me and her her Charlotte with her, she began to give her a wary look.

……………

That night.

While I was staying at Charlotte’s mansion and recovering her strength, the two goddesses appeared in front of me.

Of course, the goddess with a sculptural appearance like a doll is my main character, Louis, and the blue-haired goddess with a slim body like a model next to her is Cassia.

Lewis put on a bitter expression once, then waved his hand to release his divine power his. At that moment, a feeling of refreshing power began to flow through my body, and not only was my body cured, but my condition also changed to the best condition.

When I saw the main god appearing after work, I felt stuffy like I had eaten a few sweet potatoes, but I suppressed that feeling. Well, yes she said she couldn’t intervene in a fight between surrogates. Although there are other lesser gods…. If you intervene and get caught, things can escalate.

Anyway, there’s nothing good about blushing. I passed it well at best, but now if I take a negative stance towards my boss, it means that there is no productivity at all. I should take this opportunity to pick up at least one more piece of rice cake.

“Are you resentful of me? I’d say she’s an unreliable goddess….”
“Not really. I can understand the situation where Louise is stuck.”

Louis noticed my words and let out a big sigh, and Cassia also expressed her regrets to me next to her.

“In fact, the reason she appeared now is because she was captured by her seniors. Now, she only has the last step to become a mid-level god, but she won’t let go while saying that she lacks training. Ishizu…. No, she wondered if that woman had given her words. In the meantime, she must have been waiting for me to secretly help you. Dirty her personality her, that woman.”

Certainly, it seems childish for an act of God.

That’s why it’s not good if anything goes up.

“But I also have something to gain.”
“Why, what happened?”
“You promised. The last time you came down.”
“What? ………… Oh Mmm.”

Lewis blushed slightly as if he had remembered something. He said that if you pass this time well, he will definitely give you a prize. I said I wanted to play the role of the master against Louis, but it seems I remembered it properly. A sticky innuendo sprouts. Lewis has been avoiding the subject a lot in the meantime because he is passive and shy in this direction, but he didn’t know that this opportunity would make him a closer relationship with Joo-soo.

I wouldn’t say no to this atmosphere.

“Then I will call you next time, so you must come down. OK?”
“… Okay.”
“What is it, what are you talking about?”
“You, you don’t have to know.”

Cassia, who was next to her, asked Louise, her eyes twinkling. She looked at the two of us alternately with a strange look, saying ‘Huh-‘, then took something out of her arms.

It was a cube I found in the ruins dungeon and handed over to Cassia.

“Oh, this. The cube you handed over. I tried to return it after holding it for a few days, but the seal did not come off as I thought. Sorry for taking so long.”
“A seal?”
“Yes. It was tightly wrapped with a sealing device from the outside. I solved a few, but the rest were complicated and didn’t work out. It’s not mine and I can’t break it. The power that can be sensed from inside is also weak, and looking at that, it probably isn’t that dangerous. It means you have full control over whatever happens.”

Cassia later told me to let her know if she noticed anything strange, and put it on the small table next to my bed.

After a while, Louis and Cassia said goodbye to me and went back to the realm of the gods. By the time I went back, Louis seemed quite nervous at the thought of fulfilling his promise to me, but it was quite cute to see him blushing secretly from time to time.

After they left, I began to think seriously about my future.

It’s true that you get petit bourgeois (?) Pleasure while taking on the role of an actor who handles the sex of the goddesses…. Now that I see it, I feel desperate that my position is more precarious than I thought.

It was good. However, if only it was summoned by an intermediate god. Or if Illisia did it herself….

No, let’s not think like that. I enjoyed it as much as I did until now, but now what?

Let’s just get to the core.

Will my treatment improve significantly if Lewis becomes a mid-level god?
In fact, I think it might look even worse.
In the Ilithian system of order that has blocked her romance, only Lewis alone has a male surrogate named I.
Wouldn’t you think that Luis and I are already sticking to the line that doesn’t cross the last line? If such a child soon rises to the same position as them….

“I don’t like to think too much…….”

If they come to take their anger out on me in a shady way after harassing me again, there is no answer.

After sighing, I seemed to be fiddling with the cube Cassia returned. I expected it to be the spoils obtained by killing a giant golem, a boss-level monster, but I had to put it on hold for a while.

At that time.

– Woe!

The cube I was holding briefly flashed yellow, causing a strange reaction. And a field is created in my room with unreasonable divine power. I flinched for a moment, but I realized that it wasn’t harmful and collected my mind.

Then, a strange voice that flows directly into my head.

It was an ambiguous voice, indistinguishable from whether it was a woman or a man.

[Have you gone? Gone]
‘What are you? Are you talking inside this cube?’
[Cube? Ah, here. Yes, that’s right You’re the one who got rid of my guardian, right? Whooping! It seems to be quite strong among humans]
‘I don’t know who it is, but reveal your identity.’

It doesn’t feel strong enough to harm me. I decided to go hard.

[I am one of the gods of this world]
‘You sound like a god. The one who had been sealed so poorly with only one golem left. Are you really a god? I think he’s lying.’
[What… ! What do you guys know! The situation was urgent, so I should be thankful for that one golem.]
‘I was in a hurry?’
[Oh. Umm….]

The voice suddenly fell silent, probably thinking it was a mistake.

‘If you don’t tell me now, I will hand it over to the goddesses. Lying is the same for Tina.’
[Now, wait a minute. That’s not allowed]

Just in case, there was a response. Otherwise, there’s no reason to show up separately when I’m alone. The voice was very worried, but after seeing my hardline attitude of his, he decided that there was no other way, and he started to tell me about his identity of his.

It is said that she (if she’s not lying) is a god that originally existed in this world.

As you know, the high-level god of this world, Illisia, is a god sent from another world. A few hundred years ago, the new Ilysians absorbed or subjugated existing gods in order to establish a new order in the world, and in this case, he was said to belong to the latter.

[They made them submit by force one by one while talking about a new order. We were living well from the beginning!]
‘Was this land peaceful?’
[Peace? I don’t know what the standard of peace is, but the neutral gods and demons coexisted and divided the territory. As long as they didn’t invade each other, there was no problem]
‘Drank? If so, demons openly roam around the world?’
[What? That’s it]

I just had to wipe it all off.

[Anyway, the power of the goddesses is also power, but there were too many of them, so I couldn’t help it.]
‘Indeed……. What is this more than that? Did you put something like a magic circle in this space?’
[It’s kind of like a distortion field. If the goddesses knew about it, it would bother them, so they use it for trickery. Are you like a servant of some goddess? If your main god is looking at you right now, your normal appearance will be reflected in his eyes]

Hehe. Interesting.

Then she was silent for a moment, and then she started to let out a coy voice to me.

[More than that…. Please, give me a new body. Yes, I would prefer a young and green girl. Prepare a human to serve as a medium and inject divine power into this cube. From then on, if I free the hippo, I will grant you great power!]

I snorted inwardly at the story.

‘Do not be ridiculous. To the subject barely stuck inside the cube. What a mighty force, who knows what a fool? If you try to cheat, I’ll really hand you over to the goddesses. Just hand over the information when I want. I’ll think about what you said later depending on your attitude.’
[… ] … I!]

Before she could say anything about her, I channeled her powers her and drove her out of her head. Eventually, the distortion field that hung over the room also disappeared without a trace. The cube lost its light and returned to its original state.

It’s late at night, so let’s go back to bed.

‘Maybe there’s no chance at all.’

I thought about that as I slowly closed my eyes.
