Episode 56
Translator : Missme Editor : Aru
Sometimes I feel like time flew by in a flash.
‘Like now.’
A week has passed.
In the meantime, the new employee and lord of the territory have been well adapted to the mansion and territory affairs, the imperial knights have taken control of the remnants of the rebel group, and the promoted butler has lost weight.
Ash unbonded the bandage.
In this case, the doctor who was in charge of the treatment should briefly attach his personal opinion.
‘No matter how many times I tried to call a priest for help, um, it’s obvious that you’re not a human being.’
That just showed how quickly he has recovered. After being hit by an arrow, I didn’t expect it to be a week’s worth of injuries, either, but it was fortunate that he was out of the ordinary anyway.
‘I already said I wouldn’t strain myself.’
Ash took off the bandage and told me so with a look on his face.
It might have been obvious that I had been worried unknowingly while watching Ash, who is dedicated to his work.
But I’ve never said anything about it.
I didn’t know what to say, so I just pretended to be different.
After Ash unbonded, the bandages, all the people who came down to the compound, including me, returned to the capital.
For your information, Baron Yellow, who came down as the new lord, was quite a warm impression.
‘He looks familiar.’
What was it, is it the yellow bear that only wore a top? [Translator : Winnie The Pooh, is that you?]
In any case, the friendly look that resembles a character, not just from his appearance, but the feeling of a warm and compassionate person in the atmosphere, was reflected.
Aside from these personal assessments, he is probably a man of good character.
Otherwise, The Imperial Family won’t let it go.
‘Raydick Territory is going to be a better place to live.’
It’s a place where development has already been achieved. The supplies are overflowing, the trade is stable.
The territory is not incompetent, so having a new manager with good quality may be more beneficial for the territory people’s lives.
‘Well, I won’t be here again anyway.’
As soon as we arrived at the Dukedom, the butler ran out.
“Lady, Duke! Everyone!”
News about what had happened in the territory seems to have reached. Not an exaggeration or an analogy, he was indeed a tabi foot.
“Are you all right? Oh, as soon as this old man heard the news, I couldn’t sleep.”
“It’s all right, butler. We’re fine. Look at this.”
The butler said that almost all day, Lucas was always giving him a nasty guy and bastard vibes. And all the people he met in Inka always delivered those speeches.
At first glance, it was too harsh a gossip against the dead, but no one stopped him. Including me, hmm.
And the day after I returned to the Dukedom.
I got an invitation.
It was an invitation that I couldn’t help but accept.
“Eonni!”
Ari was stamping her feet in front of the front door and rushed as if she had waited as soon as I crossed the gate.
“I heard it all!”
“What?”
“That bastard Viscount……….”
“Okay. That’s it. But how did you hear that?”
“There’s a rumour.”
“Rumour?”
Dylan, who followed Ari behind, replaced her with a detailed explanation.
“The news broke out from the capital society. Because the Imperial Knights moved. Rumour has it that the prince himself came out.”
“…….Aha.”
“Since it’s a neighbourhood where I’m watching everything, wondering if there’s a chance to jingle on it.”
I laughed awkwardly at Dylan’s acrimonious remarks.
Ari, who was angry with Lucas, jumped from her seat with a bright face.
“By the way, thank you for coming!! I feel like it’s been a while.”
“So do I. How have you been?”
“Yes! I’m still almost dying, but I’m doing well!”
That’s a subtle answer.
“Yes, then shall we go in and solve the rest of the rounds?”
“Okay.”
Viscount Grace’s Mansion, which I visited for the first time, was small but not very visible.
Is it because the structure of a mansion built in the capital city has to be like this?
After a brief greeting with Viscountess Grace, who I had seen for the first time in a long time – she was away on business.
I was the only one left in the parlour room with Ari.
‘Why only two of us?’
I wondered why Dylan had to be sent out, so Ari opened her mouth.
“Eonni.”
“Huh?”
Perhaps it’s just my feeling, but she looked so serious.
“You know, I think I found a clue.”
“A clue?”
“A clue to get home.”
It wasn’t just my feeling.
I almost missed the teacup I had just lifted for a drink.
Fortunately, however, I didn’t spill and put it down finely. Following the clatter and the sound, I opened my mouth with embarrassment.
“Home, you mean Earth? Korea, Seoul?”
“I’m not sure. Actually, I was bored a few days ago, so I went through the library here and saw this.”
As if to recall something, Ari lowered her gaze and voice side by side.
“The God of dimensions.”
“The God of dimensions?”
“Yes, it’s a sect that doesn’t exist today, but in the past, there were people who served The God. Several temples were real.”
Ari’s brown eyes, which were lifted back, were full of glistening expectations.
Hope, well, that’s a good word to describe.
“I’m trying to find out more. Since it is called The God of the Dimension, maybe it can send me back to where I was.”
‘Definitely.’
It was a name that made me feel that way. God of Dimension.
If I had heard it a long time ago, I would have thought it was futile, but I already crossed the dimension. Now that we’ve crossed, maybe there’s a way to cross again.
Then Ari paused at this point.
“…if I’m not dead yet. Me in my original world…..”
“You’ll be alive.”
I spoke urgently. There’s no other reason to be sure, but I don’t know if it’s because I couldn’t stand looking at Ari’s face as her expression was getting dark.
And I wanted to protect her.
‘Hope.’
The feeling of being envious and sparkling.
“You said you rolled on the stairs, I’m sure you’re alive. If a person could die so easily, the ones who were unlucky or scammed would have died and there would be no one left.”
“……will I?”
“In fact, I used to roll on the stairs when I was young, too.”
“You too, eonni?”
“Yes, and it’s a stone staircase. Well, there are things like that lie long in front of a shrine or temple. The moment I roll, my life seems to be over.”
“Gasp, so what happened? Did you die like that in your previous life?”
“No…If that’s the case, I wouldn’t say this at this point. At first glance, my life seemed like it was going to be over, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought.”
Now I have a vague memory of my past life, and I have been thinking about it. And then I realized, in my previous life, I was surprisingly careless.
If I fell down from a bike, rolled inline, rolled on a ski, and failed on a snowboard, I’d just give up using a board but I even rolled down from the staircase.
I climbed the mountain before sunset, and after I went too high, I was in distress because I couldn’t find a way down.
At one point, I was taken to the emergency room at night without knowing that the food I ate had passed its expiration date.
‘How the hell did I survive?’
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with dying at least once on the way.
From now on, I felt that my vitality was really tough in the eyes of others.
‘And at the end, the stalker caught me and chased me to death.’
Life is such a vain thing.
While trying to soothe Ari, she suddenly came to me and I was in a daze, but Ari lowered her head and smiled.
“Thank you, eonni.”
“……?”
“As you said, it would be strange to die just because I roll on the school staircase.”
“That’s it.”
“I must have just slightly sprained my ankle. Or it could be just a lump in my head.”
“I told you so.”
Anyway, I’m glad my past wasn’t bullshit.
I picked up the teacup that I had put down thinking so.
Ari seemed to stare at me like that but soon opened her mouth again.
“How about you, eonni?”
“Hmm?”
I couldn’t immediately tell what she was asking. I opened my mouth from the glass and gave an answer as soon as I could.
“There was a commotion, but it worked out. The sinners were either killed or taken, and the territory has a new lord…..”
“That’s not it.”
‘Then?’
Ari, who shook her head, had a solemn face again.
“It doesn’t mean that I’m the only one going home and surviving..”
“…….”
“What about you, eonni? You have to live too, eonni.”
“That’s…”
There was a sudden silence.
I remembered the fact that I had forgotten. I and Ari formed a relationship that we could call allies.
I help Ari, Ari helps me.
“…..but.”
Before leaving for the territory, I remembered the image of Ari, holding the enchanted cloth that had become useless and crying and being sorry for not being helpful.
I was inwardly embarrassed. I didn’t want to debt Ari. It wasn’t Ari’s fault.
“It’ll work somehow. Don’t mind it.”
After spitting it out, it sounded like I was telling her to mind it, so I added quickly.
“I told you, people don’t die easily. It’s all right, Ari. You just focus on your work first.”
“You didn’t have another solution, did you? Either change the future or run away.”
“What…”
But it’ll happen sooner or later. I tried to gloss over the subject with some of those words.
But Ari was a step faster than me.
“Then eonni…..”
“Huh?”
“I came to know this because I was rereading the book, ‘The Spring of the Goddess Agritta’, just in case there was another clue. Later, eonni…….”
