Chapter 14 – Waiting Room #02

“Now, are you telling me to deliberately lose the duel?”

I didn’t expect that Marianne would come for good.

No, actually she did very little.

Princess Marianne, in my memory, was an object of envy as she was stern, friendly and trustworthy.

“Um, what is that?”

So now I don’t understand the situation.

Why is Marianne, who is overwhelmingly stronger than me and has an upright personality, recommending infidelity to me?

“May I ask why?”

Naturally, she could n’t maintain her polite demeanor until just now, and her cold voice her came out of her mouth her.

Marianne was so annoyed that she couldn’t even make eye contact with me, let alone shout at me.

“Lee Yu-ra, would you believe me if I said it for you?”

For me? Marianne was the one who encouraged me to challenge impossible dungeons for me in her previous episodes of her.

“I want you to properly explain why the princess, who is new to you right now, is asking you to stop fighting for me.”
“Ah, I didn’t really come here to say this to you, I just came to see the face of the guy who cheated on the student council president.”

At my words, Marianne scratched nervously at her orange hair, shining like a lion’s mane.

“I know you’re foolish, but if you win this match, Rigardo-senpai from the Wissen family will probably try to expel you.”
“The Wissen family… You mean that Rigardo-senpai?”

I didn’t expect that name to come out of nowhere, so I had to ask again.

Rigardo, the second son of the Duke of Wissen, who is the second highest in the kingdom after the royal family, is a person who tried to expel the main character from school for disturbing the order of the academy in the original work.

Of course, due to the performance of Princess Agnes and Princess Marianne, the main heroines of the main character, he was accused of bullying other students, and after being disciplined with three months left before graduation, he left the academy without mentioning it.

‘Is this really the butterfly effect?’

He just rejected the position that was harassed by Rexton Wise from the first day of admission, but as if he had ruined something big, things that hadn’t happened in the past regressions are happening in a chain.

‘Aside from simply hitting Rexton, did you do anything else?’

I do not know. After that, he was admitted to the hospital, and all he did was duel with Shion.

“Rather than being the heir to the baron family, they kept saying at the tea party that you, who were half-abandoned from the family, disturbed the order.”

In the end, it means that all the aggro that should have gone to the main character was attracted to me.

“…But, why are you telling me that?”

After thinking for a while, it suddenly feels strange. He must not have been someone who was far-sighted enough to help the freshman he saw for the first time today.

“Why, why? Okay.”

Marianne pursed her lips and tilted her head, as if she really didn’t know why.

“If I had to ask, intuition? No, a sense more intense than intuition?”
“Intuition?”

It’s hard to know what it means

I’ve always been a person with good intuition, but what do you mean by more intense?

“Just looking at the data in the document, I thought you were crazy because I didn’t think you would win.

Saying that, Marianne patted one side of her breast, not paying attention to her own large breasts her.

“But strangely, I don’t want to see you being treated badly.”

Saying that, Marianne smiled brightly, revealing that she had given up on worrying about feelings she didn’t know.

“I don’t know, it’s the first time I’ve ever had anything like this. When I see you, I feel like seeing my little brother, why?”

That laugh and the familiarity in her voice were definitely the Marianne in my memory.

Perhaps it was because I kept Violet’s reaction inside me, but seeing that, I felt a deep sense of relief.

I didn’t know how to express this relief, so I just unconsciously hugged Marianne in front of my eyes.

“What? Hey?! What are you doing?! I am the princess of the kingdom! Be polite!”

Marianne, who would have been pinned to the floor with force the moment she embraced her if it had been another man, strangely, did not do that to me.

“Hey! Are you listening to me?! Let go of this, Artin Ludwig!!”

As I let go of her hug her, the red-eared Marianne hurriedly moves away from me and looks at me with wary eyes.

Now, for some reason, I feel more like a cat than a lion.

“Thank you for worrying about me.”
“… Are you a pervert who hugs anyone when you’re grateful? Rude Bastard.”

I don’t feel bad when I think that Marianne is just nice to see her harshly responding to my words of her.

“I will win the duel, because I have no intention of losing on purpose, and even less confident of losing.”
“Didn’t I warn you? If you do, you’ll be firmly stamped by the aristocrats, right?”
“Does not matter.”

My goal is a protagonist who might become the strongest in this world, and before that, I challenged the demon king, the strongest in this world, 4 times.

To me, the second son of a duke is no different from Rexton.

It’s troublesome, but it’s not like an opponent who can beat you at any time if you jump on it.

“Did you tell me? I don’t have quality confidence. The same goes for that 5th grade senior.”
“What on earth do you believe in and be so confident about? Do you trust your friend Zorba Felkas?”
“No.”

I shook my head.

“Because my teacher did that before. Don’t be intimidated by opponents you haven’t fought yet. Once you stick together, you can do anything.”

At those words, Marianne’s mouth fell shut in surprise.

Yeah, that’s what Marianne said to cheer me up when I was just starting the fourth round.

When I first heard of it, wasn’t it just an ignorant nature theory? I thought.

Ironically, it was one of the most powerful horses that supported me during the year that I was going through the land of demons by myself.

“Okay?”

Chin.

Suddenly, Marianne came up next to me and put her shoulder her on the shoulder her.

“Even though you look like a nerd and a pervert, I like you quite a bit, don’t you? Call me sister from now on.”

At that, I also showed my teeth and smiled broadly, and likewise accepted the shoulder strap.

Marianne seems to be the Marianne I knew, even if the episode changed.

***

Rexton eventually left the bathroom and went back to the waiting room on his own.

As if betraying the modest expectation that he might have been away, Shion greeted Rexton with a bright smile.

“Oh, you’ve been in the bathroom for a while. Young master?”

I wanted to shout that the reason was because of you, but Rexton couldn’t.

It was because the first thing that caught my eye was that the training dummy made of steel had become full of holes and was scattered on the floor due to the sword swaying right in front of Shion.

“Umm, maybe I’m not feeling well, because I can’t digest well.”
“Oh, it’s my fault for not managing the cook properly.”
“Nope! Nope! Just that. It’s because Artin is stressed out because of that idiot!”

Seeing the murder in his gaze his as he ran his finger over the tip of the rapier blade, referring to the cook, Rexton shook his hand and hurriedly made an excuse using Artin as an excuse.

“Aha, is that because the bastard made you feel bad?”

Shion’s eyes flashed to see if that excuse worked, and Rexton sighed in relief.

Originally, Shion’s obsession was close to madness, but he didn’t show himself much.

To put it bluntly, at least for Rexton, it would be correct that he had been acting as a friendly escort and servant.

The problem is that after Artin Ludwig knocked himself out and provoked Shion, the madness became noticeably worse.

Using the incident on the day of the entrance ceremony as a pretext, he follows Rexton around the clock on the pretext of escorting him and monitors his every move. No, even if you say voyeurism, it might be the right expression.

From eating to sleeping, insisting on being in the same space at all times except for bathroom and bathing, and at the same time, Shion began not to hide his ferocity and sadism.

When one of her maids who served on Rexton accidentally overturned her Rexton’s teacup on the table, Shion listened to her sincerity her and tried to kill her maid with her eyes her.

Rexton thought that if he hadn’t been there, Shion’s rapier would have pierced the young maid’s face her, not her eyes her.

On the day Artin heard that the student council’s proposal had been rejected, he had to hold Shion by his side because he overheard whispers that he would sneak out at night and kill him.

Rexton had a wicked desire to make Artin, who had made his face bloody, cripple one of his limbs his, but at the same time he had n’t reached the point of wanting to kill people yet.

“Don’t worry, Ludwig’s idiot kid will torment you so much that he cries out for help today?”

Shion’s hand her, as she slowly walked towards her and held her hand her, felt as if she had put a lot of energy into it, as if she would not let go.

‘I’d rather…I’d rather have that idiot Artin win.’

Over the past three weeks, Rexton has written to his parents several times to tell them about Artin Ludwig’s rudeness, Zorba Felkas’s arrogance, and, most of all, Sion Idris’ madness of his.

However, his father’s return reply was cold.

The contents of the several replies were no different from repeating the words to finish the work with Ludwig neatly, to get along with Felkas, to make Shion Idris his own person, and to become an excellent student.

Now, at the moment when it was considered impossible to separate Shion with family power, an impossible method came to mind.

If that idiot Artin really succeeds in defeating Shion, Shion will be defeated by a 1st level wizard and ruin the duel even though he is receiving a high ransom.

This is to tarnish the honor of Rexton, a nobleman, and to tarnish the reputation of the Weiss family. And firing an escort who did n’t do his job is sure not even his father would interfere.

Ironically, however, it is still impossible. No matter how much Artin tried to get all the artifacts, it was clear that he would not be able to reach Shion’s toes of hers.

Unlike himself, who was defeated because he was suddenly hit by a stone and collapsed, to Shion, he is one of the strongest players who has the ability to shoot arrows shot by thieves while hiding.

In the end, it is impossible for Artin to defeat Shion by himself. He had to die and come back to life ten times to the extent that there was a slight possibility.

‘Wait, isn’t there an easier way to make Artin win?’

As Rexton looked at Shion in fear as he pondered where to cut out Artin, he felt his trick come to mind as if he had received a revelation.

‘It’s impossible to make Artin win, but to make Shion lose…Yes, it might be possible.’

All you need is a catalyst and time. And the right timing.

“Shion, can you run one errand for a moment?”

When Rexton finished his thoughts, he overcame his fear and faced Shion and said, Shion tilted his head.

“Yes? What are you talking about?”
“…Why, are you going to disobey me just because it’s before the duel?”

Put, Shion burst into a small laugh.

“If you want, Bocchan, I can do anything.”

At those words, Rexton was driven by the urge to say that he wished he would disappear right in front of his eyes and never appear again, but he couldn’t bear to say it.

It was because he was sure that the madness in that eye smile and the murderous intent shown towards Artin would not be able to handle the moment it turned towards him.

So, Rexton earnestly prayed to God, the Devil, and the Demon King for the plan he had just come up with to work.
