Chapter 518 – Side Story – Afterword (2)

“Congratulations on coming back from the dead, Chairman. “This is a gift.”

After getting a good night’s sleep, I was droopy… Rebecca shook her head resolutely when the semi-dried goddess was presented to her.

“… “No need.”

Do it too much.

The surging blue came to its senses late and shook its head! He raised his voice and shouted.

“Are you trying to sell me out now?”

“You’re selling it. I’m not a human trafficker, so what do you mean? “Let’s be polite and call it a sale.”

“Conflict! It’s not as good as selling it! In this world, there is a writer who has been writing harem stories for three years because his favorite heroine lost every time, so he turned black! So, I ask you to stop the heinous act of selling me out immediately!”

I don’t know at what point it was scratched, but it’s a surging blue that widens its eyes and gets extremely angry.

He has the beak of a duck and the tail of a beaver, and he lays eggs but feeds his young. He has the spirit of a crazy prophet who has seen a foreign spirit that should not exist in this world.

He nodded, feeling dazed at the rare seriousness of the surging blue.

“Okay. Then let’s call it a rental.”

“Gyaaagh! Guaagh!”

They said they didn’t want to sell it, so I tried my best to purify it, but it suddenly started shaking and fell again.

What’s wrong with being a rental goddess? I thought it was fun.

Still, she was a little worried and when she put her ear to her ear, she could only hear the sound of breathing. What. Did he simply faint?

She let out a sigh and shrugged her shoulders at Rebecca.

“Is there a bed here by any chance?”

“I don’t think an inappropriate relationship with a student is a good thing. Even me after Iona… Are you planning on becoming a secret power at the Academy?”

“… “I just needed a place to put the surging blue to sleep?!”

Rebecca screamed at the unexpected answer and only then did she laugh.

“It’s a joke. Ah, but it is true that there is no suitable place to lie down. A Yandel student often comes to visit, so I prepared a desk and some refreshments, but she only sleeps for two… How about putting him on life support?”

“Uh, um. That’s precious, right? “It would be a big problem if he drooled inside, so I’ll just hold him.”

Normally, I would have put beds according to the number of people in my inventory, but it’s a shame that I can’t do that anymore.

It is truly absurd that the best large-capacity subspace artifact at the moment can only keep up with the size of its inventory.

That Fafnir guy. How much ahead of its time magic were you using? No. Is this performance expanded by the power of the upper world?

After grumbling inwardly, I sat down on the chair Rebecca had brought out, hugging the surging blue.

“Hmm?”

It is a wooden chair without any special cushions, but it supports your body at the optimal angle the moment you sit down. Even, as if by some kind of magic, his energy is gradually restored.

A gentle scent that soothes the mind and body rose from the table that was brought out later, a refreshing mana was felt from the tea that had begun to boil, and the cookies… Hmm. This tastes healthy.

Anyway, I wondered what kind of magic was enchanted on these luxurious items despite their ordinary appearance, but upon closer inspection, I realized that it was not magic.

“Did you bring it from Alfheim?”

“Yes. Thankfully, Circulating Life gave it to us directly. “It was a condition of asking Yandel students to visit the World Tree sometime.”

“Ahh…”

After defeating the noble ruler. My companions and I stayed at the academy for a while.

It’s not like I couldn’t go out for a special reason or anything like that. Everyone was seriously injured and had to be treated, and I was worried about Rebecca, who could hardly wake up, and I had to carefully check my condition as my soul had been shattered and reattached, and I had to look into the contents of the spilled inventory to see if there was anything left behind by the noble ruler. It just took a long time to sort it out.

… When I list it like this, I see that there is quite a bit of work to do.

The good news is that the inside of the seal can now be observed from the outside, so the Academy has already made all preparations.

Thanks to that, I was able to skip cleaning up after myself.

Well, anyway, most of the issues have now been resolved, and Rebecca, who was sent to Alfheim, has recovered, so she should start working outside soon.

All evil spirits disappeared, and there was nothing worth doing on the continent of Aurelia.

Although all the cultists were dead or alive, they lost most of their power and went crazy, and the monsters were clearly weakened due to the recovery of the evil god’s blessing.

So, is the world now at peace forever? That’s not it again.

Even before the appearance of evil spirits, the continent of Aurelia was overflowing with all kinds of criminal organizations and black magicians.

Even if that wasn’t the case, there were wars between countries and subtle wars of nerves between religious denominations.

Although they have joined hands in the face of a common enemy for over 300 years, not all records of the past have disappeared. Everyone will want to prepare for the future.

In such a situation, my companions and I, who became the strongest on the continent in name and reality, would inevitably be hot potatoes in many ways.

Whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing, it would be better to clearly state your position to avoid troublesome things later.

… At the very least, we must prevent the Just Light Church from rising up and calling for a holy war in response to words I lightly threw at them.

My body trembled as I remembered the fanaticism that had begun to appear in Helena’s gaze towards me these days.

Why on earth is Solari encouraging Helena’s rampage rather than preventing it? .

As she calmed herself down by taking a big sip of tea made from the leaves of the world tree, Rebecca asked in a puzzled voice.

“Is something wrong?”

“Oh, no. I was just impressed by the scent. “I will have to show my face to the circulating life in the near future.”

“Well thought out. Circulating Life seems to really cherish the Yandel students as if they were her own children, so she will definitely be happy.”

Actually, it’s a nightmare.

Even thinking about the World Tree set that was generously distributed makes me smile. Thanks to you, I was able to save Rebecca too.

I asked, firmly holding on to the surging blue that kept trying to flow down.

“By the way, are you feeling better now, Chairman? “I don’t think you’re even on life support.”

“Yes. Although she may not be able to completely stop the wear and tear of her soul, she can significantly slow it down. If this continues, my remaining lifespan without life support will be…”

Rebecca stares into space with her mouth closed for a moment as if calculating something. She soon seemed to have come to a conclusion and continued speaking as she looked towards me again.

“I think it’s probably about 100 years.”

“Gil! That’s really long! An ordinary person wouldn’t even be able to fill it all?!”

“Hehe. According to Circulating Life, I will become the longest-living human in history.”

I wonder if he deserves the title of the oldest person in the human race… I knew the result would be successful, but I didn’t expect it to be to this extent.

Rebecca smiled slightly at my bewildered reaction.

“I have 100 years left to live. “It feels like it’s not the rest of my life, but the rest of my life.”

“What are you going to be doing in the meantime? “Do you have something in mind?”

“Well. First of all, I think the position of Academy Chairman will come down. “It’s fun to watch students grow, but now I want to focus on my own life.”

“That’s a good idea.”

For the past 300 years, Rebecca has run her academy, giving up the rest of her life and rest for Rahim and the future of humanity.

Now it is time for Rebecca to get her life back. She is also a person who deserves to be happy.

In that sense, nod your head for a moment. I was startled by the voice that followed.

“But even if I go outside the academy, I don’t know what to do or where to go. The world today is so different from what I knew. … Above all, I don’t have any colleagues to be with anymore.”

“Ah.”

It’s definitely the same smile, but it looks particularly bitter now.

Perhaps she was thinking of her colleagues Reinhardt, Flora, and Rahim.

According to the records that have been handed down so far, it seems like everyone got along just as well as we did. Well, if you survive that much of a battlefield, you’ll naturally become close.

Especially in the case of Rahim…

Rebecca quietly shook her head as if she had read something in my gaze.

“Do not worry. I probably won’t be able to forget Rahim and will continue to live in remembrance… “But I definitely finished putting my mind in order.”

“Chairman…”

She pursed her lips, unable to find anything to say. How can I, who have not even lived for 100 years, understand the love I have had for 300 years?

… Well, I also said that I survived for 1,000 years in the cycle of life, thinking about my women, but since I have no memories of that time, it doesn’t mean much.

Rebecca must have sensed my difficulty and said in a playful voice.

“Don’t worry too much. “In the end, I was dumped, and I couldn’t overcome the sadness, so I went on a heartbreak trip.”

Rebecca added that she never thought she would do something as young as a love trip at this age.

I looked straight at Rebecca.

Long wavy purple hair. Her purple eyes shined transparently without any hint of illusion, and unlike her youthful appearance, she had an air of age.

Huh. It looks really good.

It was a moment when I was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

“Tsk.”

Rebecca suddenly blushes and avoids gaze.

“Chairman?”

“It’s a little embarrassing when you look at me like that.”

“No, what did I see and how…”

As I was just clearing my throat due to the strange atmosphere that suddenly began to flow, the surging blue, who must have fainted, jumped up and shouted.

“Where is the fresh smell coming from?”

A long strand of her hair stood up near the crown of her soaring blue head.
