Chapter 33
Chapter 33
Ruid was lying down in Delrin’s lake and looking at the sky like always.
The weather is good. Even when it’s sunny, can it still be this sunny?
Ruid’s daily life was as peaceful as this weather. It’s been three days since that incident, but nothing much has happened.
Just being lazy as always, rolling around on the grass of Delrin’s lake. I eat when it’s time to eat, sleep when I want to sleep, and talk to Hersi when I’m bored.
Indeed, it was a daily life that Ruid could not help but wish for.
However, Ruid knew that this quiet daily life was just like it was before the typhoon.
Just like the clearest weather before a typhoon.
“Wouldn’t the sky fall?”
“yes??”
“The sky is high, so if it falls, it will hurt.”
“...You seem very sleepy.”
But it’s foolish to worry about something that hasn’t happened yet.
Rather than just vaguely worrying, you should make proper preparations.
But it’s annoying.
Ruid muttered blankly.
“So, Hercy, it’s stupid not to go outside for fear the sky will fall.”
“...Wouldn’t an ordinary person be worried that the sky might fall?”
The words of a genius are difficult to understand. In fact, Hercy seriously wondered if there was a great meaning hidden in the conversation we just had.
Of course, Ruid’s current thoughts were very far from Hercy’s imagination.
‘You have to put tape on it. You should also check whether the window is closed properly. Just in case, I’ll put it on top of it too...’
What happens happens happens.
Although you can sleep comfortably in the tranquil lake of Delrin, the huge wave named Story is still moving steadily forward.
The second episode starts soon.
Ruid decided to prepare sufficiently.
So as not to break the window in the impending typhoon...
**
I have to move, Ruid, who had taken a nap just thinking about it, slowly opened his eyes.
Right next to me, a fox was curled up, its tail wagging.
Ruid grabbed the fox’s armpits and lifted it up.
“Your name is Fox.”
[...Suddenly?]
“Because I like foxes.”
[....]
Ruid put the fox back on the floor and stood up.
I stretched once and did a light stretch.
I thought I was going to sleep, and I was planning on moving around. But maybe it’s because it’s a lazy afternoon?
Growling-.
I was hungry.
There is a saying that Mt. Geumgang is also a beautiful sight after a meal.
Let’s just eat and move.
“hmm.”
Ruid looked back.
Zzz...
Hersy was sleeping with her body lying on her side. I was smiling, and it seemed like I was having a good dream.
‘Shall I wake you up later?’
I don’t really want to wake you up now.
At that time, Miho humanized herself and hugged Ruid.
My hair touched my face and it tickled me.
‘I don’t think I’ll fall.’
Miho stuck around right after signing the contract. Whether it was in the form of a fox or a girl, what it did was the same.
It is said that he missed the warmth of people.
Fortunately, there weren’t as many words as I thought. I don’t know if it was because I was paying attention, but mostly I just played with it, petted it, that’s all.
It wasn’t as bothersome as I thought, so I was quite satisfied. No matter what I was feeling on the inside, I was satisfied because I was an arctic fox on the outside.
“I like foxes.”
“Play with me. “I mean, I’ve waited a long time.”
“I’m going to eat, so wait.”
Ruid shook his ass.
“But what do you know how to do?”
“You’re asking so quickly. “It’s already been three days since the contract was signed.”
Miho said with a triumphant look on her face.
“My specialty is mental abilities. “It’s a star spirit.”
I was looking for a softly glowing mushroom. Unlike ordinary mushrooms, it has a high density of flavor and has a taste and texture similar to sweet rice.
‘He is.’
We found the mushrooms quickly, but we also found an unexpected person.
“uh?”
Nia Ryan.
She was a first-year student at the same Ministry of Magic and a girl with a talent for alchemy.
She found Ruid and waved brightly to greet him.
“nice to meet you!”
Ruid asked as he walked towards the girl.
“Why do you steal other people’s mushrooms?”
“...Is this also Ruid’s?”
“No, actually, I don’t mind taking it.”
Nia drooped her body with a vain expression.
But soon, his eyes sparkled with curiosity and he asked.
“What is the fairy of Delrin doing here?”
“Go get that.”
“...Is there anyone around you who is sick?”
“Should there be?”
“That’s right, Gena is the main ingredient in potions...”
It was a fact I didn’t know. Ruid remembers mushrooms only for their taste.
“Oh, I didn’t know.”
Nia laughed awkwardly. Ruid approached and collected mushrooms.
“I’ve been here a few times already, but he’s always gone. You are lucky today! “I can’t believe I saw the fairy of Delrin.”
“I am human.”
Ruid answered indifferently. I picked about 5 mushrooms and stood up.
I thought as I looked at Nia, whose eyes were sparkling.
‘I never thought I’d run into this guy. I wanted to avoid it until the second episode happened.’
Second episode, ‘Rebellion of the Commoners’.
Nia Ryan was a key character in this episode.
As the episode title suggests, the commoners unite due to irrationality and create an uproar to take over the ‘Evrys Library’.
In a way, it was natural for commoners to target the Evrys Library. In the original work, it was expressed that something was going to explode over this.
This is because the nobles had taken over the library in advance and were preventing commoners from using it.
The Evrys Library was just a library, but it was nothing more than a storage warehouse where various materials were collected.
The commoners were angry that only the nobles were using such a place – so
under someone’s leadership, they came together and made this library available to the commoners as well.
The person who incited it was Nia Ryan.
“It looks like you’re still interested in alchemy.”
“huh? that’s right! “Classes are boring, but research is fun.”
“...Is alchemy the only thing you’re interested in lately?”
“huh...?”
There is only one reason why she, the daughter of the Count Ryan family, who are said to be powerful figures in the system, moved.
Because it looks fun.
Nia Ryan incites commoners to attack the library purely for fun.
That’s why Ruid asked.
“doesn’t exist? “It’s like something fun to do.”
“Fun thing...?”
Nia tilted her head.
‘Was it different, or...’
Did the story change because of his intervention?
It didn’t matter to Ruid either way.
To be exact, it was half and half.
If the second episode progresses, it’s good to be confident that the future we know will continue.
If it doesn’t work out, it’s nice to have one less annoying thing to worry about.
But still.
“Oh, yes. I recently found something as interesting as alchemy. But why? Is Ruid bored too? “Do you want to play with me?”
It seemed like what was going to happen was going to happen.
Ruid turned around without saying a word.
I was thinking of starting with mushroom sushi.
