Fleeting

VRMMO 56.2

The soldiers seemed to think it was just an exercise, and cheered when they hunted monsters and found materials.

[Gyaaah, stop it, stop it already!]

"Hahaha, this demon is yelling something!"

One of the knights laughed and stabbed a harpy with his sword as it fell after being shot by an arrow.

I sometimes fight them when I meet them in the forest, but it made me feel uncomfortable to see them being tormented in this way.

"...I don't feel well, so I'm going to ste...

Battle of the Demon Forest (2)

The knights were all senior knights and not many in number, and yet the Crown Prince and the others were having a picnic, and there was even a time when I thought we were here to do an exercise to prepare for the Daemons.

"Your Highness, the Second and Third Knights are all here!"

"I'm counting on you!"

Near the Demon Forest, many knights had already arrived and were waiting.

From what I could vaguely remember, the ...

Bear-san, Is Having A Discussion.

“So, Cereille. About this time, I'd like you to keep it a secret." (Yuna)

"What do you want me to keep a secret?" (Cereille)

“About this house and how I defeated the monsters." (Yuna)

“I'll keep not only the house but also about the monsters a secret? If you report it to the Adventurers' Guild, I think they will reward you. Of course, I know they won't believe you, so I'll be happy to put in a good word for you. ...

I’m sorry. I made some corrections to the previous story.

I have added a scene where Cereille dropped the sword and collar after stabbing the man.

I apologize for the inconvenience to our early readers.

Gayle told Liz Cather that he needed to calm down for a while and left the school, leaving her looking apologetic and downcast the whole time.

She probably thought she was helping them, but she ended up hurting them.

There was nothing more we could do. The rest is up to them. Just breaking Liz Cather's spell was an accomplishment.

With these thoughts in mind, I returned to the royal palace with Duke.

I missed Gramps, who had been living in the castle with the king sinc...

Since then, Liz Cather has been going around the school, revealing her true self to the entire student body. At first, everyone was disgusted when the magic was broken, but seeing her sincere apology, it didn't cause that much damage.

We watched her in silence.

It was difficult to apologize for the mistakes she made, even though she was aware of them.

No one wanted to go out of their way to ruin the good impression they had. She bowed ...

"Wouldn't this one look good on you too?"

"Oh, but this blue dress would be hard to pass up."

"Or this one?"

Vian arranged a slew of dresses in front of me for me to try on. I didn't say anything; I just did what he suggested.

I had changed into different dresses a few times already. Each time, he complimented me so much that I couldn't make up my mind.

If I continued like this, the day would be over before we could go out. ...I worked so fast, but when it came t...

Restlessness at the Academy and Homecoming [Part 2]

In the midst of all the talk about the official Holy Maiden, Arthur was particularly curious about one thing.

"...Your Highness... this is just between you and me, but..." he whispered to Edward stealthily, "Everyone seems to call Lady Joanna beautiful, but I just don't get it."

"Arthur, it's rude to say that a young lady is not beautiful. Hold your tongue," reminded Edward with a frown. Commenting on a wom...

I was let into the room and lectured by him for a while.

He asked me to remove the cloth from around my eyes, which I did while staring intently at his beautiful face as he raged at me.

"From now on, if you are going to be late, tell me! I was worried about you."

Maybe it was because I had just met Victor, but Vian seemed like such a nice guy.

I apologized and told him I was sorry.

"Oh, well, I'm just relieved to know that you're not hurt or sick."

"Thank y...

We negotiated for a while after that, but the boy never once opened up.

I left the dungeon without being able to persuade them. I should go to Vian's place soon. It was already late.

As I was walking a little faster through the palace, Victor walked right in front of me with a terrible look on his face.

What? Why were you so angry?

I spun around reflexively and retraced my steps back the way I came.

"Hey, wait!"

Victor's voice echoed through the hallway, an...

Restlessness at the Academy and Homecoming [Part 1]

The Stuart family still hadn't returned even after the academy started.

Even if someone wanted to contact them, Imperial Japan was located in unexplored territory, and no ships could reach it. The fact that no one could find it even though the Kingdom knew of its estimated location made people assume that perhaps the entirety of Imperial Japan was enveloped in some kind of magic.

As Prince Edward waited for...

Bear-san and Cereille

I left the man to Cereille, whom she had been harboring her vendetta about for many years. Whether capturing or killing the man, I think it has to be done by Cereille's hands. Even if I defeat the man, I don't think that his defeat by my hands will completely appease Cereille's heart. All I could do was set the situation up for her.

However, I left Swaying Bear with her, but I'm still worried about Cereille.

I stared at them in their slightly chilly prison cell. They were thin and scrawny, and with their defiant eyes, they reminded me of the inhabitants of the impoverished village.

"But even if they let you go now, where would you both go?"

I asked them again. The boy, who, I assumed, was the older brother, pondered for a moment, and answered.

"Back to our own country."

"Who's waiting for you? Do they know about you two?"

His eyes became even sharper at my words. If ...

I was taken by Vice Captain Neil to a dingy underground prison.

The ground was damp for some reason, with puddles and such. I also noticed a rat scurrying across the ground.

...Are they trying to force a sinner on me, perhaps?

Yesterday I enjoyed myself in Grandfather's beautiful room, and now here I am in a smelly, filthy prison.

"What will happen to those people if I can't handle them?"

"I guess you'll have to kill them."

Deputy Captain Neil muttered in a...

I woke up to the bright sunlight. As usual, I changed my clothes and wrapped a cloth around my eyes.

When I opened the hut door to go to Vian's place, Captain Marius stood there with a terrible expression on his face.

Oh, no. I had completely forgotten.

I understood everything from his expression. I mean, he could have just opened the door to the hut and walked in...perhaps he thought I was in the middle of changing my clothes and was being considerate?

But I was suppo...

Yuna said that, and before I could stop her, she had already climbed onto her white bear, which was named Hugging Bear, and jumped off the cliff.

This place was quite high.

I shouted.

But when Hugging Bear with Yuna riding on it landed on the ground, they sped directly toward where Keith was. Whi...

“You want to defeat me and kill the monsters while dressed up as a bear? Are you trying to make me laugh?" (Man)

The man was really laughing at my outfit, and he seemed to be having fun.

I know it's not convincing as a combatant dressing up as a bear in a serious situation, but the way he laughs in front of me like this, pisses me off in a different sense.

Then the Crown Prince and Ian came, and we were off, but I was forced to join them because Alice was the only young woman going along with them, right? However, Alice was in the same carriage as the Crown Prince and the others, and I was in a different carriage.

I was about to pat her on the shoulder for a job well done. But then I realized what the point of my being invited was when, in the end, I would still have to ride a different horse-drawn carriage alongside. So, as punishment, I...

After I finished listening to Grandfather, I returned to the cabin.

The relationship between the Sanchez and Harrist families also started to deteriorate a bit after the birth of Vian and Victor, but regardless of that, it told me that they were good friends and brothers.

Well, not so much now.... But I suppose they could manage without me.

Victor didn't have to use me to get weird ideas about Vian, either. The fact that he didn't explain why I was sent to Vian in the first ...

After much thought, I asked Cam to exclude the [Not accompanying the inspection] option.

The best way to find out if they were really going to raid Daemon's settlement was to stay by their side. And if they really were going to attack, I would have to stop them right then and there.

If I did stop them, I would have to consider the worst-case scenario...

Meanwhile, I should also prepare for the eventuality.

Pochi came to take the corpse of the Chimera in its mouth and placed it in front of me for praise, wagging its tail around with a smug look on its face.

As far as I could remember, Alice should have already conquered almost all the puzzles except for the hidden character, if she had been doing things the normal way. ...It didn't seem too difficult, did it?

In a way, it was now more difficult to avoid the death-flag events, but by then I needed to increase the number of people like my brother Dirk and the Archbishop who, at the very least, would not turn against me.

And I also need to secure adventurers that could be hired when I e...
