The assassination of the first princess of the empire.

It was an episode that announced the beginning of the main story in [The Warrior Loved by Everyone].

The ‘explorers’, who had been quiet for about a year, reappeared in the world,

As a signal, it was about raiding Reynolds Academy in order to deal with the first princess, the second princess, and the saint all at once.

In the original work, Alan’s performance only ends with the saint and the second princess slightly injured.

However, the first princess died on the spot.

“Stupid Alan, I can’t see what’s in front of me…”

I, who was riding in the carriage, looked out the window while muttering that.

Well, actually, I’m not going to say anything to Alan.

In the first place, the time was too short to save her, and it was a sudden terror.

Even though I know that, the reason why I am angry inside is,

It must be because I am vividly conveying Raiden’s feelings.

Raiden truly cared for his lord, Lucy von Lietro.

He had no strength and no talent, but he really thought he was a knight of Lucy.

Maybe that’s why, thinking that Lucy will die soon makes my heart complicated.

And, at the same time, anger boiling from deep within.

“Seekers…”

I gritted my teeth and gritted my teeth.

– far away

oh, it hurts

I touched the area around my molars where the pain was palpable.

It’s Leiden.

Don’t grind your teeth at will.

Are you really sick?

I grumbled inwardly and frowned.

Then, he let out a deep sigh and cleared his face.

“Ehh… well, it’s worth it…”

‘Explorers’.

He killed Raiden’s mother, Philippa Lysitt.

The culprits who pushed Raiden’s life into the pit of despair.

In the future, they would harm even their loyal masters.

From his point of view, it would be natural for his teeth to tremble.

“Calm down. Calm down. That’s why I said I’d block you.”

I muttered that, calming Raiden’s emotions that were raging inside.

It wasn’t long before the thumping heartbeat subsided, and the fury that made my head go blank faded little by little.

“after……”

I sighed again and grabbed my throbbing head.

Originally, I had no intention of getting involved in the main story.

It’s a story with a predetermined happy ending, but I don’t think I’m going to intervene and mess around here and there.

In the first place, my goal was to be happy, regardless of anything else.

By the way……

“under……”

After synchronizing with Raiden, those thoughts went wrong.

It must have nothing to do with me or anything to do with it.

The feelings I felt from Raiden,

Too.

It hurts so much.

those feelings,

For reminding me of the pain I suffered in my previous life.

-Kikiiik! bang!!

-Uh… Mom…?

-There is no @#%^¥ from today.

-yes…?

-You said @&€%,¤※ on the roof. Tsk, weak bitch.

[email protected]#%^¥ Are you a sister…?

“Ugh…”

The wounds buried deep beyond consciousness,

The phantasmagoria of things cut out of my body,

for trying to break it

I just couldn’t let it go.

“Kuhh…”

With a shivering headache, I grabbed my head with trembling hands.

“Whoa… Whoa…”

He took a deep breath and calmed his precarious breath.

While doing so, a familiar mechanical sound echoed in my ears before long.

-Titling!

[Skill ‘Spirit of Iron’ nullifies status abnormalities (trauma).]

At the same time as the blue window came to mind, the memories that spread like wildfire faded.

“Whoa… Ha…”

I let out a short moan and wiped my damp forehead.

The cold sweat that had formed on the bone was wiped away.

Damn, how long is this f*cking trauma going to haunt me…

Even after more than a month since I came to this world, the stigma of this misfortune has not been erased.

“Happiness is a piece of cake…”

I don’t know if I can be really happy…

Is it possible to live a daily life while carrying around these traumas…?

“ha……”

A long sigh cuts through the silence inside the carriage.

Outside the window, landscapes pass by.

After staring at them with a blank face for a moment, I came to my senses by slapping my cheek with my hand.

“Relax. First of all, there’s something more urgent…”

I checked the watch on my wrist, it was exactly 7 o’clock.

If I remember correctly, the raid began when the bell rang at nine o’clock.

“Two hours from now…”

I muttered and checked the items in my pocket once more.

– Dalgrak…

One bottle with a green potion and one bottle with a red potion.

And even a tightly folded magic scroll.

“I’m really… I can’t believe I spent two days just preparing this…”

I grumbled and closed the pocket again.

It was only two potion bottles and one scroll, but the price was filthy expensive.

It was also hard to save.

Fortunately, thanks to his status as the eldest son of a duke, he was somehow saved…

“I lost most of the pocket money I’ve been collecting so far…”

I shook my head and rested my chin against the window of the carriage.

“We’re almost there.”

The scenery outside the window informed us that the carriage had almost arrived at its destination.

Looking at the banquet hall in the distance, I stroked the sword of grief and the wooden sword for practice.

hope things work out

.

.

.

– Hee hee hee!!

Watching the carriage that dropped me off in front of the banquet hall receding, I moved on.

There were already many students around the banquet hall.

I walked across them.

Then, the eyes of the surroundings begin to gather one by one.

The children glanced at me and talked among themselves.

-hey. Isn’t that Raiden over there?

-What? is that crazy?

-Didn’t he originally attend a banquet or something?

– So what happened?

-Anyway, he said he lost weight, so it looks like it was real.

-Yeah… I think he was a little chubby.

– He looks pretty handsome after losing weight and wearing a suit like that…

– Hey, hey! Calm down bitch! That’s Raiden, ‘that’ Raiden!

-Oh, who do you like?! Just say you’re handsome!

Ignoring the buzzing surroundings, I showed my student ID to the guard guarding the banquet hall door.

“2nd year, Raiden Lisit.”

The guard looked at me and opened his ax eye for a moment, then relaxed his expression and opened the banquet hall door.

“Have a good time.”

I responded by waving my hand, and entered the banquet hall.

There were far more people inside the venue than there were outside.

Since the total number of students at Reynolds Academy is about 1200,

Roughly, there must be about 400 students in this banquet hall.

I thought so, and took out the mask that was in the bosom of my suit.

A masquerade mask that covers the eyes and nose.

It’s pure white without any pattern, reminding me of the ghost’s mask from The Phantom of the Opera.

I looked at it for a while, then put it on my face.

Raiden is too famous.

that’s not good either.

I suddenly appear in the banquet hall and leisurely enjoy the banquet?

100%, 1000% aggro will attract all aggro.

My plan is to keep quiet, but when the raid happens, it’s broken! It shows up and embarrasses them.

It is difficult to turn off aggro as soon as you enter the banquet hall.

That’s why he covered his face with a mask.

The masquerade mask didn’t look too strange because there were many people wearing it like a prop.

“Hmm… Now I’ll have to find out where the princess is.

I muttered that as I walked around the venue.

It was really hard to find someone in the noisy venue, and among the 400+ people.

“Haa… that’s tough…”

An hour later, I found Lucy standing in the middle of the banquet hall.

Lucy was talking to her sister, Anna.

“Finally found…”

I took a deep breath and sat down next to them.

I picked up a drink from the table next to me and sipped it.

The two stared at them just barely enough to notice.

Current time 8:42.

It was narrowly timed.

“Whoa…”

I sighed in relief and took a drink.

A bittersweet taste passed through my taste buds.

Ugh, this was alcohol.

I squinted and put down my wine glass.

Standing still, I could faintly hear Anna and Lucy talking.

-Puhaha! Really?

-That’s right, sister!

– So, so? How did it go?

-What’s going to happen… Alan, you insensitive bastard…

I blankly looked at Lucy and Anna talking.

Two people having a conversation with big smiles.

You two are having fun…

I muttered as if lamenting as I looked at the two of them.

“Originally… there would have been Raiden in between…”

Raiden, Lucy, and Anna were almost like brother and sister.

After Raiden became a madman, though, everything was ruined.

I felt a bitter taste in my mouth.

Is it because of drinking?

It seems not.

This bitterness was closer to a sense of pain than a sense of taste.

I held onto my slightly aching chest.

Loneliness was welling up from the chaotic fountain of emotions.

What is this feeling?

Are these the feelings I’m feeling?

Or Raiden’s feelings…?

Either that or both?

Well, it doesn’t matter anyway.

It already has nothing to do with us.

One is an asshole who has been a loner since birth.

The other is an idiot who overturned everything with his own hands.

that’s us

I drove away the thoughts with a wry smile.

The time is already 8:58.

It’s 9 o’clock soon.

-Tick tock tock

The sound of the clock’s second hand crossing the digits is clearly audible.

-Tick tock tock

“Whoa…”

I caught my trembling breath and sharpened my senses.

-Tick tock tock

Timing is important.

opportunity only once.

-Tick tock

next 3 seconds

-Tick tock

next 2 seconds

-Tick tock

1 second ahead

-Tick-tock, tti-ri-ring, tti-ri-ring!

now.

As soon as the bell announcing nine o’clock rang, I chanted a chant.

“Blink×10”

-Titling!

[Use the skill ‘Blink’ 10 times.]

[The skill ‘Blink’ can be used. The number of times has been exhausted!]

[Remaining number of uses (0/10)]

[2 hours 37 minutes 19 seconds until next mana charge]

At the same time as several blue windows appeared in front of my eyes,

my body flickered

-Tadak!

The place I moved to is right in front of where Anna and Lucy are standing.

My vision went out for a while, but when I came back, I was standing in front of the two before I knew it.

I quickly reached out with both hands and pushed the two people standing in front of me to the ground.

“Huh…?!”

“Kyaaak!!”

At the same time as the two of them screamed and collapsed,

-Hook! Bububuk!

Where the two stood, exactly 6 arrows were pierced.

where they stood

So,

“Kyaaa!! Suddenly an arrow…!!”

“The person was right!!”

“Health teacher…! Call the health teacher!!”

where i stand now

“Cheup…”

Bright red blood spurted out of his throat.

When I looked down, I saw four arrows stuck in my stomach.

Apparently, 6 shots flew, but 2 seemed to miss.

“Big… Quok…”

reflux of blood in the esophagus

Blood spreads through the suit, centering on the area hit by the arrow.

It felt like something pricked my stomach.

No, it really hurts.

I forcibly held on to the mind that was about to fly away in the pain of the distance.

“Cheuk… Cee… Baal… Cuck.”

Continuing to vomit blood, he moved his hand to the stomach where the arrow was stuck.

“Keahhhh”

There is no time.

The arrows have failed, so they will come directly soon.

– Far away!

I gritted my teeth and grabbed the arrows stuck in my stomach.

And then…

-Kuddeuk! Knock!

“Kyaaa!!!”

“That…that crazy…!!”

pulled out at once

– Patter

Clumps of blood fall from the arrows pulled out of the ship, contaminating the floor.

If you look closely, it seems that pieces of internal organs are also attached.

Black blood was pouring from the stomach.

After throwing the arrows in my hand to the floor, I fumbled for my pocket with trembling hands.

Two bottles caught in my hand after several mishandling.

It was the green potion and the blue potion that I had checked on the wagon earlier.

I opened the mouth of them and poured them into my mouth.

– gulp

Every time I passed the potions, I tried to vomit because of the regurgitating blood, but I clenched my fists and held on.

-gulp…

“Paha…”

When all the potion bottles were emptied, a notification sounded on the status window.

-Titling!

[You have consumed the ‘highest regeneration potion’!]

[You have consumed the ‘highest quality mana potion’!]

[The wound on the body regenerates.]

[The depleted mana is immediately replenished.]

[The number of times the skill ‘Blink’ can be used is reset.]

[Remaining number of uses (10/10)]

As soon as those phrases came to mind, the blood stopped flowing from the wounds that were gushing out.

-Kudeuk! Kuduk!

Holes in the body filling up again with strange sounds.

The potion contained painkillers as well, and the pain was being swept away as well.

“haha…”

I let out a rough breath, brushing off the blood and bits of flesh from the corners of my mouth.

It was the first time I had a hole pierced in my body in my past and present life, and it hurt more than I thought.

I shuddered at the pain I still felt, and turned my head away.

“……”

Where I looked, there were Anna and Lucy, whom I pushed away.

They were staring blankly at me as they fell.

I looked at them and smiled.

“Both of you don’t seem to be hurt. Thank goodness.”

Then, the faces of the girls who were looking at me turned white.

“……?”

Why?

It was a smile that came from the heart.

Not mine, of course, but Raiden’s.

It seems so good that he prevented the death of his master.

Don’t drink kimchi soup, it’s not over yet.

I raised my head and quickly looked around.

Read at noblemtl. com

Just as expected.

About 10 men in robes were walking towards this place.

“Whoa…”

I sighed briefly and took out a magic scroll from my pocket.

This too, like the potions, was checked on the wagon.

Holding it, I approached the fallen Lucy and Anna.

– Jjiik!

I stood in front of them and tore the scroll.

Then, the magic contained in the scroll began to activate.

“Absolute shield”

A thin, bluish shield flowed from the scroll, and soon wrapped around the two of them.

“Haa… now that the two of them are safe… can I just deal with those bastards?”

When I was muttering that, and fiddling with the handle of the sword of sorrow,

Lucy looked at me and opened her mouth.

“Raiden…?”

“……?”

what?

How did you know… Ah.

Only then did I realize that the mask I was wearing had come off.

Apparently, when I was drinking the potion earlier, it looked like it was peeling off while gagging.

“Oops, got caught.”

Well… it doesn’t matter?

I shrugged, and Lucy muttered in a trembling voice.

“This… what is this all of a sudden…”

Towards my lord, who still has not grasped the situation,

He put his index finger to his lips to signal to be quiet.

“Shh. It’s dangerous, so keep quiet, Princess.”

“no……”

I put the stunned woman aside and looked back.

“……”

There stood the 10 gangsters I had seen earlier.

One of them drew a sword and aimed it at me.

“Don’t interfere, get out of the way. If only the princesses are released, I won’t touch the others.”

“Uh, f*ck it.”

Saying so, I gripped the handle of the sword of grief.

A chill that comes creepingly.

Feeling it, I muttered quietly.

“Woe, heed my call.”

-Keee!!!

At the same time as my words, the sword of sorrow that had been wriggling around my waist from earlier cried ferociously.

Blue windows rising at the same time.

-Titling!

[Use ‘Sword of Grief”s unique skill #1, ‘Super Sense’.]

[※Maximum 10 minutes for super senses.※]

[Remaining duration: 9 minutes 57 seconds]

When the super senses were triggered, I felt the senses in my whole body stand on edge.

Maybe it’s because I’m a little bit used to it?

Like when I first used my super senses, I didn’t have a headache or the world was spinning around.

I removed my hand from the sword of grief and drew out a wooden sword for practice.

Then I aimed at the assailants standing in front of me.

“Is it an election with a wooden sword?”

“Pu-Hup… Kuck…”

“It’s amazing~”

I wonder if it was funny to see myself holding a wooden sword in front of 10 people with real swords.

A few of the goons let out a sneer.

I looked at them without a change in expression.

Then he opened his mouth in a heavy voice.

“Seekers.”

-Startle

In my words, the sneering laughter of the goons disappears in an instant, and the atmosphere cools in an instant.

“……”

After a moment of silence, a man who appeared to be a leader among them opened his mouth.

“I’m sure we didn’t say ‘seekers’…”

“……”

“Did you know us before?”

At his words, I felt anger welling up within me.

Did you know?

yes, i know

Every night I wet my pillow with tears for what you guys took from me.

How much I cursed you for throwing my happy life into hell.

Since that day, I have never forgotten you.

Is it because Raiden’s anger is too intense?

I felt as if I was gradually assimilating with Raiden’s emotions.

When I fiercely raised my eyes, the man with a great fighting spirit asked me with an interesting smile.

“You know how to explode even in front of such a difference in numbers, you’re an interesting guy. Hey, what’s your name?”

I gripped the wooden sword tightly at that question.

I said while taking a kendo stance.

“I am Raiden Lisit.”

You guys are one of those who ruined your life.

“In the name of Philippa Lysitt, star of the Empire, my mother.”

in revenge for his mother’s death.

In revenge for my ruined life.

“I will punish you for your sins.”

don’t tear it all apart
