Academy Munchkin Enslaved

51 – Farewell to the beggar world

Many nobles attended the wedding, but of course there were only a few faces I knew.

All of them seemed confused about the sudden marriage news of the princess, but on the other hand, they were curious about my identity.

It must be embarrassing to hear that a commoner without a title suddenly appears out of nowhere and marries the imperial family.

Well, this kind of commotion would be resolved soon, so neither the royal family nor I cared.

“… Mister.”

“Oh, Lorraine.”

Few familiar faces.

Lorraine came to visit me while I was passing the time in her waiting room.

Behind it, Miya, as if she had brought it, stood there as well.

It was a position that Miya couldn’t even dare to take, but it seemed that Lorraine helped her.

“I really do. Marriage.”

“Then do it for real.”

“… Under. It’s so sudden that it’s dumbfounded. Is this all a joke?”

“I’m not kidding. I’m having a wedding with the real Julia.”

I still couldn’t believe these two.

If you know me, it’s an even more unbelievable situation.

“Anyway… So I don’t think I will go to the academy in the future. Thank you for that time.”

“Is it all about saying thank you? I’ll teach you while there’s still a long way to go… “

“That is enough.”

Perhaps in this world without me, Lorraine would be the easiest being to reach the 7th tier.

Still, not all of them, but she was the only one who absorbed the knowledge of my original world, so she probably thought that if she worked harder, she might be able to reach the 7th tier.

No, she will probably be able to reach it obviously. If she

If that happens, a different aspect might appear in the fight against the demons.

“Bad… bad guy… “

Maybe because I thought it was the last time.

Lorraine patted my shoulder uncharacteristically with tears in her eyes.

I never told anyone that I was going back to my original world.

To put it bluntly, Lorraine and Miya are here. And it might have been about Kana, but rather, the closer she was to her, the more she hated talking about it.

I don’t think breaking up while announcing that we won’t see each other forever isn’t going to be a good look.

Especially, I feel sorry for these two people, especially for Miya, since I have a lot of affection for them.

Miya is the first person here to show kindness.

She thought that if I said I was leaving, she would be very sad.

I thought she would be relieved, but the fact that she had something precious here too. My heart felt strange again.

“… Miya. Thank you very much.”

“… “

I looked at Miya and smiled at her, but she didn’t answer.

I don’t know how she’s feeling right now, but I think her feelings of betrayal and loss will be the greatest since she and I are the closest people.

And I also thought that if I loved someone here, it would of course be Miya, so it wasn’t that I couldn’t understand her reaction.

But rather, that’s why I couldn’t tell the truth even to her.

The fact that I will never be able to meet you. I thought it would be more heartbreaking if I told her that we had to part forever.

Because I know that saying that will make Miya more sad, and I know that seeing her like that will make her feel weaker too.

I am not from this world. That’s why you have to leave.

I am also sorry and sorry for Miya, but I thought it would be better to just leave silently than to increase useless feelings before leaving.

She thought that Miya wouldn’t come to her party, so when she saw her, she felt a bit weak.

-Hero. Eating will begin soon.

What broke the awkward silence was the voice of an attendant from outside.

Now, once the ceremony begins, there is no turning back.

Through the contract, I will avenge the princess, and the moment it is announced that I am the hero who will save this continent, I will disappear using the return magic.

In other words, this is the last time I will talk to these two.

I can’t tell you much, but I still wanted to say something for the two of you.

“… Lorraine. If it’s you, maybe you can reach the 7th tier. No, obviously. So work hard. Don’t forget what I told you.”

“Why, why… You say you’ll never see me again… “

“And Miya. Thank you very much. The most grateful and precious person who came here… It’s you. You will probably remember it for the rest of your life.”

“… “

Miya moved her mouth slightly, but she didn’t speak.

She couldn’t seem to pick her words, even as she herself.

From her point of view, I didn’t know that it would seem strange to have such an unnecessary marriage.

Even considering the fact that I am a warrior, this marriage was of greater benefit to the imperial family.

“… Miya. Find her mother.”

“… Uh?”

“Because now I might not be able to protect you… Find your mother.”

“That, what does that mean Ian… don’t go… Don’t go, stupid… !”

That was the only thing he could say to Miya.

If you find her, her succubus queen, Miya will be safe in her war anyway.

Now that her demons have a high chance of winning, as long as she finds Lilithia anyway, Miya won’t be in danger.

Her were the last words I could say for her.

“Really… Thank you.”

“Ian… !”

I left the waiting room crying and ignoring the hand that tried to hold me.

I thought it would be okay, but strangely, my heart ached and my vision blurred.

I guess the existence of Miya has grown to that extent. I’m glad I realized it now. If she had known in advance, she might have been more reluctant to leave.

“Let’s go.”

With my emotions under control, I walked to the wedding hall guided by the attendant.

*

Ian entered first and was waiting for Julia on the podium.

His appearance was absolutely gorgeous and beautiful.

Still, the emotional goal between him and Yulia has not been resolved.

However, the fact that Ian meekly accepted the marriage could be interpreted favorably from Julia’s point of view,

So, even though there had been no recent exchange between the two, Yulia had hopeful thoughts.

Maybe the misunderstanding will be resolved and we will be able to develop into a good relationship and a good couple afterwards.

There was an expectation that the happy marriage life with the hero that I had dreamed of since childhood might come true, even though the process was a little wrong.

She was the one who couldn’t apologize properly because of her pride, so she tonight. On her first night, Yulia promised that she would honestly admit her mistakes and reveal her feelings to Ian.

From noble mtl dot com

And when she reached him, she stood beside him, hiding her trembling expression.

“From now on, the two of you…… “

Congratulatory remarks from the pope follow.

It was the wedding of the second princess of the empire. It was not a waste of time for him to give a congratulatory speech.

A few tedious procedures passed, and the moment of the ring exchange ceremony finally arrived.

It was also the moment of enforcing the contract we talked about in advance.

In the meantime, the two still haven’t even met eyes, let alone talked. Only when that moment came, did the two face each other.

“… For a moment. Wait.”

And when that moment arrives, the emperor, who had been silently watching, rises as planned.

It was to reveal Ian’s identity and get him a promise to protect the continent for the rest of his life.

“Perhaps even now, I think there are many aristocrats who have doubts about this marriage. Nevertheless, I express my infinite gratitude to everyone who attended and brightened the event.”

The imperial family had already brought disappointment to the continent once.

By failing to summon the hero.

This time it was a place to make up for that. Rather than making various excuses, the emperor chose to honestly convey the process.

“As you know, our imperial family has already failed to summon a hero once. No, it is precisely known that it failed.”

He came up to the podium and stood next to Ian.

Then, as if to show off her relationship with him, she puts a friendly hand on his shoulder.

“And then, the failed summoner is right here. This is Ian, the fiance of my second child.”

Hungry, buzzing…

At the same time as the declaration, the ceremony hall began to buzz.

Unsurprisingly, most people were expressing their doubts, and among them, some even stood up and asked questions directly.

“Don’t worry, I will tell you everything. First of all, I admit that the imperial family made mistakes in all of this. We misinterpreted the prophecy and concluded that he was not a hero. At first.”

The emperor explained the process in a slow, dignified tone.

“… So, it turned out that Ian here was the hero of the prophecy, and he reached the 7th tier before long. And he made a pact with us to fight for the continent. And as proof of that, I was able to marry the imperial family like this.”

-Oh…

Most of the nobles shed admiration at the revealed truth, and at the same time seemed to do a lot of calculations in their minds.

If I were really a hero, the imperial family would regain its former power, so I guess I’ll consider my future course of action.

However, it is a certain fact that it was a sudden and contradictory announcement, so there were no doubts among them.

So, in advance, I promised to show it to the emperor. My magic.

“It must be hard to believe. That’s why he decided to show you. What level has he reached now?”

I started accelerating my thinking, and spread out six magic circles.

I couldn’t use the 7th hierarchy. I still needed the help of the Pearl of Yeohwa to use the 7th tier, and I didn’t want to waste the unknown count.

It was clear that with just this performance, they would believe in my skills.

The fact that I reached the 6th rank within one year of coming here. And even if that were a lie, it was impossible for me to reach the 6th rank at my age based on common sense in this world.

“… Ignis Dragon.”

Currently, the peak of fire magic.

A magic that devours everything in front of its eyes by raising flames in the shape of a huge dragon head reminiscent of an ancient dragon.

I easily succeeded in the 6th tier Ignis Dragon in front of everyone, and the dragon of flame grew in size as if to devour the audience in front of me.

-Oh oh oh… !

Most people couldn’t shut their mouths at the magnificent sight in front of them.

Among them, some aristocrats who seemed to be wizards looked at me with expressions of disbelief.

Perhaps because he knows magic, he knows what kind of talent it is to use the 6th rank so easily.

But this wasn’t the end.

I accelerated the accident once again. I started weaving another 6 magic circles.

“Fractal Shield.”

Another 6th tier magic. Fractal Shield.

The pinnacle of all defense magic that exists except for the current 7th tier.

I used another 6th tier magic to completely confine the Ignis Dragon within an infinite shield.

It was to prevent my magic from harming the people here and at the same time to perfectly show my magical skills.

Perfect control of the two highest peak magic at the same time.

And the dance moves created by the dragon of fire that burns as if rising from within the shield that divides endlessly.

All of that was enough to keep the nobility here from doubting my skills.

“As you can see, his magic skills are already the highest on the continent. Also, he’s not far from reaching the 7th tier. I believe the doubts about him will be gone now.”

I couldn’t even suspect that this was manipulation.

Because there were few wizards who could show such a performance even on this continent.

In the first place, even those wizards were watching this scene in awe.

It was already said.

“Then let’s proceed with the ceremony.”

And then the ring exchange ceremony.

Now, if you pass this process, you will be able to return home.

Me and Yulia were handed a ring prepared in advance, and we began to engrave an oath for each other in the contract magic.

“The 2nd Princess of the Empire. I, Julia, will love only the warrior Ian for the rest of her life, and she swears to give up her body for him. If you violate this and have a different mind, you will live in terrible physical and mental pain that you will not be able to endure.”

“I, the hero Ian, swear to save the continent from the danger of evil with this covenant of love. I will fight for her continent and her until the moment my body collapses, and even if she collapses, I will rise again to protect her continent. If you give up on this or have other thoughts, you will lose all your strength and live in terrible physical and mental pain for the rest of your life.”

A contract magic that is completed with the oath between the two of us.

Since no one on this continent can dispel contract magic at the 6th level, it is now irreversible.

But even so, is it rather like that?

Oddly enough, after the contract was completed, the princess’ expression seemed to be relaxed.

Is it because of the sense of security that he will keep his promise? Was it because he fulfilled his role in the imperial family with this?

Looking at the bright expression on the emperor’s face, they seemed to have completely put their minds to the future of the continent.

It must be that they firmly believe that the hero will protect the continent.

But, of course, I didn’t mean to do that.

And that’s why, in the expanded mindset, he started calculating again.

“Uh, uh… ?”

Full Dispel.

Leave only the contract for Yulia, and erase my contract completely.

Perhaps feeling something strange, Yulia slowly opens her eyes and looks at me with an evil smile on her face.

“Now then, couples, put the rings on each other’s fingers.”

Even the host said, she couldn’t move.

I didn’t move either.

“… Please put the ring on.”

Perhaps it felt strange to see us like that, the moderator spoke once more, but the ring fell off Yulia’s trembling hand.

“Woo, princess?”

Everyone, including the moderator, begins to panic.

Except for me, who knows why she is doing this.

“Everything, what the hell are you doing… How can this magic… “

“I made it. Isn’t that obvious? Thank you for all this time. Let’s never see each other again.”

“Now, wait a minute you… what is that… Stop kidding. All the nobles of this continent are watching you!”

“So. So, rather, it should be like this. I’ll never see you again live well. I don’t know if I’ll be able to live well.”

“Please, please… you… What is this? Stop kidding… “

Aware of the situation, the body of the princess began to tremble.

It seemed like she couldn’t even think that I would return to the original world, but from her point of view, the fact that only she had a contract left was enough to be terrifying.

Because it meant that I had to live loving myself for the rest of my life, who would neither love myself nor protect the continent.

Now her appearance was terrified to the point of feeling sorry for her.

“…… “

I glanced around once.

All nobles, including the emperor, were unaware of the situation and just stared blankly at us.

Perhaps from now on, if they knew what I was about to do, they would probably start rampaging too.

Especially, I was looking forward to how that stupid emperor would react.

I felt relieved. It was refreshing.

I can finally say the end to those who treated me as less than human.

Honestly, I was worried about what would happen if I felt regret, but I didn’t feel anything like that.

I was looking forward to the expressions of those who would look at me vanishing in vain.

I myself was like a psycho, but strangely I started to get excited.

“Goodbye. A beggar world.”

With my taunting smile, the pearl of Yeohwa began to shine.
