Chapter 226 – Everyone, Please Calm Down. #02

Artin was barely able to calm his beating heart.
This was the result of training to get out of Lilith’s dream of her. If you can wake up from a dream by overloading your heart, the opposite is also possible.

However, the more his heart his calmed down, the more he could calmly realize that this situation was not a dream that could be broken but a reality.

‘Joe, it’s fucked… This time it’s really fucked…’

In the 4th playthrough, he was not so nervous even when he charged the castle and was almost caught after failing to open the back door. But to Artin, he was convinced that this moment was the worst than the time when the demon king’s officers surrounded him.

“I think I need to hear an explanation…. Artin?”

It was because Agnes’ kind words and actions of her, smiling awkwardly to convince her even though her expression of her hardened, were more painful than dying from poison poisoning.

It’s not just Agnes. When they reached Sister Marianne or the Heavenly Demon, they were so surprised that they didn’t faint right away, and Olga and Xiaomei’s expressions distorted as if it wouldn’t be strange if they grabbed her by the collar right away.

“That’s it, so… “

If you roll his head vaguely, you get fucked. Convinced, Artin calmly began to explain what had happened in Hell.

*

It was about three hours ago that all the women present here gathered.

He didn’t just call the members of the harem and Olga Virtus, but also Marianne and the Heavenly Demon, who had not yet properly joined the harem, and even Karen and Zorba, who were undergoing training.

The reason why the academy’s student council was able to gather these amazing people in one place was that the subject of the meeting was Artin Ludwig, and the person who gathered them was none other than the Imperial Princess Agnes.

“Everyone, thank you for responding to my call like this.”

Finally, when Princess Marianne arrived after finishing her student council work, the eyes of the people who were quietly observing the situation were focused on one place at the unfamiliar faces and sudden calls.

Agnes Ermengart, a great princess called the Jewel of the Empire. A princess knight who is no match for quite a few knights.

She and she are the fiancée of Prodigal Artin Ludwig, a lowly male writer in the kingdom, whom she knows at the current academy.

“Well, Agnes, I came because you called, but… What is all this about? Aren’t you going to explain why?”
“I see, if you hadn’t heard that it was related to Artin-nim, you might have rejected it as a rude request?”

As soon as Agnes had luck, the first to show her doubts were Princess Marianne and her saintess Olga.
Olga Virtus, who herself refused to belong to the harem, and Marianne, who had not yet properly joined the harem, were unaware of Artin’s current situation, so they could not help but wonder about this situation.

She even harbored her dissatisfaction with Olga, but she was, first of all, her dissatisfaction with Agnes and the harem, who acted as her vassal her and forced her to come and go, just because she became her lover her with Artin. .

“It’s a secret that I’m staying here at the academy to help Cayenne-sama and Artin-sama.
“Of course. Saint Olga Virtus. The people gathered here are Artin’s important acquaintances, colleagues, friends and lovers, aren’t they?”
“… Lovers, is it okay for you to say that, Agnes? Doesn’t the empire approve of conspiracy?”

Marianne could not help but react most sensitively to the words of her lover her.
When she was attacked by Artin before, she had heard that there was a harem, but she had only heard about it, and she had never had a proper conversation or introduction with the members of Artin’s harem, so she was a bit unfamiliar.

No, Artin Ludwig had a harem in the first place? Artine, who had a good relationship with Agnes? When I first got my memory back, it was hard to believe.

Besides, from Marianne’s point of view, this place was a place where such a story should not be brought up. Isn’t this a place where most of the heads of factions or important people participated?

“I know they are all acquaintances of Artin, but this is not a story to be announced at a meeting like this. Is not it? If you play an important role in the Empire, your sire’s female problem can be a major weakness. Wouldn’t it be strange if the nobles of the empire asked you to break off your marriage?”

In fact, it may be a late advice as everyone has already heard that he is her lover, but as she is the work of her close sister Agnes whom she likes, and as one of the women of her sire is herself, Marianne decided to help Agnes. .

By letting everyone in her presence her know that the queen-to-be of her realm her is aware of her problems her and is willing to help her.

“I understand your worries, Princess Marianne, but… I don’t think you need to worry so much.”
“Yes?”
“Will everyone in Artin’s harem raise their hands?”

The results were shocking. In particular, it was a very big shock to the Heavenly Demon and Marianne, as they saw that all but three people raised their hands at the words.

“A unicorn…Even a saint…? Isn’t that the person who lived here and was hit by Artin before?”
“That’s right, Shion Idris is also a member of our harem. Artin accepted it himself.”
“…I wondered why the demons were mixed in here, but that demon is also one of Artin’s women? Really?”
“Yes, Heavenly Demon, there is one other demon, but that child went to hell to pick up Artin and couldn’t attend. Teacher Senia didn’t call me on purpose.”
“What do you mean? Devil? Hell..? Artin, what the hell are you doing…?”

It was the two of them who reacted the most astounded, but in fact, most of them were suffering dizzying headaches from the unimaginable current situation.

At least, the fact that Karen did not raise her hand in this mess made her sigh in relief, including herself and even Agnes.

“…All of the people who were called here, I called them here because I thought I could trust them. Not for me, but for Artin’s sake, so I hope you will listen seriously to the story I’m going to explain.”

Agnes came to her senses her and looked around.
The people Artin gave his faith to, the people he saved, and the people who supported Artin.
If it had been Agnes herself who had picked these people out, he wouldn’t have brought up this story. However, it was Artin who decided to keep these people by his side and protect them.

And he is the one who has to trust Artin’s choice his more than anyone else in the world.

“The things that Artin endured and went through alone.”

Agnes opened her mouth slowly. Artin’s things that no one can believe.

In order not to let Artin carry the burden alone any longer, not to sacrifice Artin alone.

*

Hearing the story of a man who restarted his life over and over again to save this world, people forgot the story of the harem, the devil, and the demons in his memory.

Even those who had already heard the story.
The fact that Artin eventually left for hell to make a contract with the great demon Mephistopheles was a great shock to Zorba and Xiaomei, who knew about her return her.

“That, is that true? Oh, my brother ended up in hell…?”
“Yes, this is a fact that Violet and I heard from Cayenne-sama last night. Miss Al’Miraj left for hell to bring Artin back.”
“Then I have to go rescue Artin right away! Where is hell…!”
“Calm down, I just got word in the morning that Miss Al’Miraz will be back soon. Nothing special, so don’t worry.”
“…Artine, that stupid guy…Recklessly asking where hell is…”

At the words of Zorba monologue in her empty voice her, a quiet silence settled in her room her, as if everyone felt similar feelings.

The silence was so heavy that it was terrifying to break it, but the first to speak was Zorba Felkas, who took off his usual frivolous mood and became serious-eyed, claiming to be Artin’s brother-in-law.

“What can we do? My dearest younger brother is doing such a dangerous thing, and I don’t think I can just watch it calmly.”
“…Yes, I wanted an answer like that, so I gathered you all here. You can’t leave the fate of this world to just one man, can you?”
“…”

Agnes’ gaze turned to Karen Silversword, who was quietly listening to the story.
Although she has now taken on the form of a woman, she is a hero who might have carried all this weight alone. What is that man thinking right now?

I couldn’t tell. It was because that man, who had been terrifyingly obsessed with Artin while maintaining an expressionless face, was now showing his complex emotions with his expression instead, with his eyes closed.

“When Artin comes back, I hope that everyone will greet Artin with a happy and welcoming expression. Because Artin has a hard time enduring a heavy or serious atmosphere.”
“…Would you like to welcome me as warmly as possible after hearing this?”
“It should be. Artin always wanted us to be happy and joyful, even at the moment we were heading to the Demon King’s Castle, he was the one who asked us to see him off with a smile.”

I still remember it clearly when I close my eyes.
Artine’s smile his, which was always as bright as before, was a scarred and rough face that was unimaginable from the face that still had the cute side of it now.

“I can’t help it, I’m in favor, everyone.”

It was Zorba Felkas who stood up first to vote yes.

“That idiot has been like that since he was young, he was the guy who laughed and said it was okay without showing us even when he was having a hard time. Now, if his expression his hardens because we care too much, he won’t even be able to smile. He’s a guy with a softer heart than you think.”
“Young master…”
“Harem was really unimaginable, but I will support him no matter what. Although the fool did a lot of fooling around, he never did anything bad. He personally supports the kingdom’s concubine system.”
“…Young master?”

The moment Zorba’s last words brought power to Xiao Mei’s eyes, Karen also spurred her to stand up.

“Me too, I can’t tolerate harem, but I can’t let Artin suffer alone even after knowing everything.”
“…I agree too. To me, Artin, no, Seobang-nim, is much more important than that world.”
“I have to agree. Well, if you still listen to your sister, and get out of things like this, can you say you’re brother and sister?”

Everyone rose from their seats in order. In a way, it may be a very light decision for an agenda to save the world, but I could feel that their hearts were not lighter than their actions.

“I…”

The last person to sit down and watch the scenery was the Heavenly Horse, Lin Xiangpei.
To her her, the scenery now seemed terribly overlapped with the sights she had seen in her old memories of her, so she could n’t get up from her seat her.

100 years ago, when the legions of the demon king’s army advanced to destroy humanity, he, Shen, and the academy’s motives all came together to protect people.

The fact that among them, who transcended her class, position, country, and religion, what was left in the world was her her, who had always laughed at the forefront of the battlefield, made her decision her feel even more weighty.

‘… Shen, if you were here, you would probably have offered to help right away, right? There’s no way I could leave that stupid great-granddaughter who looks like an idiot like you.’

Maybe it’s family history. To fall in love with such a stupid man.
Even now, how determined was her great-granddaughter’s expression of her as she kicked off her seat and suddenly remembered her father’s expression of holding her back of her, causing the Heavenly Demon to burst out laughing without realizing it.

“It can’t be helped, I don’t want to see my great-granddaughter become a widow, and wouldn’t the world be a little more livable with at least one fool like that?”
“Then…?”
“You should take care of the poor disciple, that’s the teacher’s duty.”

When the Heavenly Demon slowly rose from her seat her, no one was sitting.
Everyone has sworn to shoulder the burden of Artin together. What kind of expression will Artin make when he sees this scene?

I was curious but it was fine. Sooner or later, everyone will see the reaction for themselves.

‘Artin, at least… I think your sincerity has been conveyed.’

Agnes had to hold back the tears in his eyes. It is still too early to shed tears of joy.
When Artin returns, it won’t be too late to cry with him.

Two hours later, while welcoming Artin, Agnes accidentally touched Artine’s earring his.
