Not too long ago, the remaining 8-star beasts on the 1st campus allowed them to regain their freedom.
They were the guys I asked for cooperation before 「The Demon Subjugation」.
They were in a position where they had to follow the last message left by the original kings, and they said that they couldn’t follow any instructions unless they were the ones who would defeat themselves with a legendary weapon.
After that, they figured out that the evil spirit had disappeared, and the message left by the original kings had no effect.
There was no reason to be there anymore.
They left with their legendary weapons in search of new homes.
……
Merhen Academy had a winter break.
However, for some reason, the students did not leave for their hometowns and stayed on the second campus of the academy.
Amid the deployment of barriers to block the cold winter air, colorful decorations, beautiful sounds of music, and the enchanting smell of delicious food filled the campus.
Everywhere was a party, and because many guests came, the wide campus was crowded.
To commemorate the victory of the evil spirit subjugation force, the Jerber Kingdom held a large festival centered around the Merchen Academy.
It is said that the reason the festival was held now, not immediately after defeating the evil spirit, was because they waited for me to return.
If I hadn’t returned or if my death had been confirmed, it might have been a grand funeral instead of a festival.
Anyway, it went well.
Hwabongguk and the countries of each Wonwang also spared no support.
When I looked around the world with [Clairvoyance], The atmosphere was festive everywhere.
A festival was also held in Dupendorf, and I had been there until yesterday.
Today, as a prospective graduate of Merchen Academy, I wanted to enjoy the festival with people I have seen often.
“Cheers!”
“Drink! Drink!”
Under the calm night sky, I wandered among the students having a party with a glass of wine.
Few people approached me to look good.
It was because it was well known that even if anyone flattered me and teased me, I couldn’t hide my true feelings.
Thanks to that, I was able to freely roam the food to my heart’s content.
Besides, for the first time since the possession, I tipped my glass.
Slightly sweet and astringent taste.
It was close to the taste of wine.
Compared to other drinks, it was difficult to say that it was delicious, but I really liked the rich aroma and smoothness of the throat.
“Chairman, how is the first taste of alcohol?”
“I like it.”
I smiled and answered Dorothy’s question, who was walking with me.
“Baby, ah.”
Alice, walking across from Dorothy, held out a skewer full of meat to me. She was dripping with gravy.
Ate in one bite. It was very delicious when the umami flavor burst out.
Dorothy opened her eyes and had a snowball fight with Alice. As usual, Alice responded with a relaxed smile.
At first, Dorothy and I were enjoying our date alone. Then Alice, who had been playing with the student council for a while, joined her and reached the current situation.
Meanwhile, Kaya was having a party with her parents, Luce was having a festival with the lords of the Mage Tower, and White was having a festival with King Carlos.
They also told me that they plan to join me later.
‘I’m not drunk.’
What I was looking forward to was a pleasant tactile feeling.
No matter how much alcohol he drank, his spirits did not return.
I wondered if he had been drinking the drink, mistaking it for alcohol, but that wasn’t the case again.
It was simply a matter of my body. It seems that I have become strong enough not to get drunk with any kind of alcohol.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, an event site caught my eye.
Amid the gathering of students and guests, a sophomore girl was shouting energetically.
“Now! Who is the best drinker? Marchen Academy ship, ‘Drinking Contest’ is scheduled to be held! We look forward to your participation!”
I participated right away.
“Kyaha.”
I took the keg and drank the cool drink over and over again.
Looks like I’m slowly getting drunk. Now I feel a little satisfied.
Every participant except me was stretched out a long time ago.
Because I participated in the competition, there were many onlookers at the venue.
“A truly overwhelming amount of alcohol! Match over! 1St place goes to our hero, senior Isaac! A big round of applause everyone!”
I go around in a school uniform, and the junior host called me a senior.
As an academy student, I was just grateful that they fully recognized my desire to play.
The awards ceremony continued amid applause from the onlookers, and a gift certificate from a pub in the academy was given as the winning prize.
A place run by a renowned chef from Gerber Kingdom during the festival, it was a great opportunity to taste his cuisine.
I went right away and ate the meat dish to my heart’s content.
Dorothy and Alice chatted for a while. We exchanged stories that didn’t have any weight and weren’t constructive in the slightest, just funny.
We had a lot of fun going around the festival playground together. My mouth hurt from bursting into laughter countless times.
“President.”
As they walked down the festival street, Dorothy said.
“Ah.”
I immediately saw the clock tower. This is the time Dorothy spoke of.
“You said you had something important earlier, right?”
“Yes, it is very important.”
Dorothy gives a stern answer.
She had told me beforehand that she had somewhere to go.
They said they couldn’t say why, but it didn’t seem like a serious problem.
“Baby, see you later.”
It was the same with Alice.
They walked together.
I finished my drink and waved.
I still couldn’t read the minds of Dorothy and Alice. What is the reason why two people who are not very close have no choice but to walk together? I didn’t even guess.
I decided to see the two of them again in about 3 hours. The meeting place was the Iris Accommodation, a high-end accommodation in the academy shopping district.
Dorothy threatened that she would be disappointed if she peeked with [Clairvoyance]. I didn’t know if she was preparing an event for me or if there were other reasons.
‘Well, I plan to stay up all night tonight.’
Wouldn’t it be bad to walk around leisurely by yourself for about 3 hours? There is also luck.
I wandered around the academy enjoying a good feeling of drunkenness.
I checked the rooftops of several buildings with the [Clairvoyance]. I saw a couple of men and women creating a romantic atmosphere, or a couple in the middle of affection.
I went up to the rooftop where no one was there and touched the railing. No matter how late it was at night, the campus was still brightly lit with a festive atmosphere.
From noble mtl dot com
It was regrettable that we couldn’t get out of the cold wind in winter due to the barriers deployed on the campus, but I also liked this gentle atmosphere.
“… ….”
My journey has come to an end.
I learned the secret of the world and succeeded in defeating the evil spirit.
After putting down the heavy burden, I enjoyed whatever I did.
After returning to this world through Alice’s Gate, it didn’t happen right away.
At first, I didn’t know what to do, so I just exercised.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been constantly training, but if I force myself to take a break, I get anxious without even realizing it.
But fortunately, I was able to enjoy my free time now.
The freedom to face after completing all the assignments gave me a tremendous sense of satisfaction.
“Isaac.”
Suddenly, a male student’s voice came from the roof door.
I already noticed that he had found me and was following me.
“Why did you follow me?”
“Oh, did you get caught?”
As I turned my head back, Ian Fairytail, with his bangs up, caught my eye.
The guy with a glass of wine approached me with an awkward smile.
“Why are you alone? What about your girls?”
“Everyone is busy.”
“To be alone on a fine day, how did you end up like this?”
“That’s right.”
Ian stopped beside me with a mischievous smile.
As I just checked, Ian was hanging out with Amy Holloway. Because they are an official couple.
As a child of light, Ian is credited with bringing the demons to a close with the minions of the demons.
Thanks to her, she was told that soon she would be bestowed with a high aristocratic rank.
This guy’s future as a magic knight must be solid.
The appearance of Ian, the magic knight seen at the ending of , Was no different from a confirmed future if nothing happened.
We looked at the scene of the academy excited with a festive atmosphere.
“… When you rescued me as I crossed over to the other side of the dimension.”
Ian opened her mouth again.
“Even though I came back, I couldn’t be happier. Even though I won that war, something was frustrating.”
“Did you blame yourself?”
“I can’t deny it.”
Ian grinned.
“Isaac, thank you for coming back. And it was really hard.”
“You too. Good job.”
Ian held out her fist, and we gently bumped into her fist.
“But can I ask you something?”
“Huh?”
“You were originally good at fainting?”
Now that the evil spirit issue has been resolved, let’s ask.
“hahahaha, asking like that makes me feel a bit embarrassed….”
Ian let out a laugh as he scratched his cheekbones.
Well, this guy probably didn’t faint because he wanted to faint.
“Because I aspired to become a magic knight, I trained my swordsmanship and magic at the same time. So, it seems that I have not been able to do this or that. It will gradually get better.”
“Is that so?”
I just skipped it because it was one of the answers I expected.
“… But you, are you going to marry all five of them?”
“Five people?”
“Kaya, Luce, senior Dorothy, senior Alice, and Princess Snow White.”
The first four are confirmed.
I was thinking of getting married unconditionally and establishing the harem kingdom I had been dreaming of.
No… , I have the title of emperor, so let’s call it the harem empire.
However, questions remain for White.
‘I knew you liked me.’
White had a crush on me as a member of the opposite s*x.
She was different from the other strong kids, so she just didn’t express her honest feelings properly.
It was a fact that I couldn’t hide because I could see through the psychology.
The most important thing is my heart.
Do I have a crush on White?
… I can’t deny it.
‘It was cute.’
Because White, whom she saw while treating her as a disciple, was too cute.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t thrilled.
I’m sure. I like white too.
In the end, my answer becomes clear.
“Unconditionally. No one can give up.”
“hahahaha! I am sure.”
“Are you going to marry Amy?”
“Actually… I have already proposed to you.”
“Oh, really? When? How?”
That’s interesting.
“That is… ….”
Ian began to speak proudly.
Like that, I spent time talking to a protagonist in a game I’ve been playing for years.
Amy intervened along the way, and we laughed and chatted for a long time.
* * *
Boom!
“Attention! From now on, we will start the battle of courtesy!!”
Dorothy Hartnova shouted in a confident voice as she slammed the table hard.
At the table were Kaya Astreans, Luce Eltania, Alice Carol, and even Snow White.
