When I returned to the plaza where the goblins were gathered. The gaze that gathered on me was quite lukewarm.

“Well, since I was in my prime, I understand.”

“Sickness… … .”

No matter what you say, these guys won’t listen.

To make matters worse, Yang Baek is not on my side right now. She held onto my sleeve tightly, but she didn’t seem to notice it.

She was afraid that I would ask So-yeon if she knew about her, so she couldn’t bear to say it and was trying to hold me back like this.

It’s probably an instinctive action.

So, if I tried to explain to a guy in this state, I would only end up with gibberish anyway.

“Hmm… … .”

However, while others were booing, Bihyung was different.

Bihyung seems to have realized that Baekyang’s condition is strange.

“It is an urgent situation… … But it would be nice to have time to relax. Mrs. It looks like we need to make various preparations, so we’ll just have to follow the enemy hawks for now.”

In the end, Bi-hyeong used So-yeon’s travels as an excuse to announce the breakup.

Originally, it was a different decision from the original plan as he had to summon all of ＜Imae Mang-ryang (魑魅魍魎)＞.

The goblins left meekly even though they booed at the decision of the non-hyeong, which was no different from such a recklessness.

“You are the enemy. You are a precious guest, so you should treat him well.”

“What… … . Baekyang’s house already has many guests, so that’s why.”

As if flowing in the situation, So-yeon was led by the hand of Jeok-mae and left the scene.

Baek Yang glanced at So-yeon and looked at the atmosphere, and B-hyung took advantage of the gap and approached me.

“Hey. That… … duck?”

“This is Oz.”

“Yes, Oz. What happened later tells me… … .”

“We are going back too.”

Non-hyeong’s words could not continue to the end. Baekyang is urging me to pull the hem of my clothes before I can answer Bihyung.

Compared to what I’ve seen of her so far, it’s quite different, so it’s fun to see her.

But at the same time… … .

“OK got it. Okay so don’t pull on it like that. Do you know how much this robe costs? Is it a national budget item?”

It seemed like things would get pretty tedious.

* * *

By the time I returned home with Baekyang. She seemed to have regained quite a bit of her former self, probably because a certain amount of time had passed.

“What shall we do for dinner tonight?”

Not only did she release her hand from the hem of the dress she was holding on to, her tone of voice returned to normal.

Listening to that languid voice makes me feel better… … .

“Teacher, there is something strange about Yang Baek. What did you do when you went?”

I guess that’s the case too. Eleanor seems to have noticed something.

For now, it would be better to take off the pretense here.

No matter how much I decide to be a liar, I have no intention of spreading her secret everywhere.

“Why does this bastard think I did something?”

“But most people become weird somewhere when they get entangled with a teacher.”

“hahahaha, that makes no sense. You were on the weird side before you met me.”

“… … Big.”

“Oops.”

Eleanor tried to bite me. Is this bastard a real beast?

Be human.

No, more than that, isn’t it supposed to be noble when you’re a member of the royal family?

How did it happen that I had no more dignity than I who had suddenly been possessed?

Chrysos’ future is bleak.

“More than that. teacher. Is the white sheep something strange?”

“Where?”

“Um… … . That’s it.”

“Two minutes? What are you talking about there?”

Before Eleanor could say anything, the white sheep came between us.

yes, that’s it that’s the problem

Perhaps the identity of Eleanor’s vague sense of incongruity is that she’s watching me to make sure I’m not talking nonsense.

This has become quite annoying.

“Oz-sama, if you’re not busy, could you come over here?”

“… … yes.”

At Baekyang’s call, he heads toward the kitchen. Eleanor tilts her head as if she still doesn’t understand the identity of the sense of incongruity.

“What?”

“Could you peel some potatoes?”

“… … .”

What Baekyang showed was a pile of potatoes.

Are you crazy? What are you doing with so many potatoes?

“What if you don’t like it?”

“No help… … Will you give it to me?”

“No, this is really… … .”

Is there anyone who can make such a crying expression with only potatoes?

It’s too much to do… … .

I’m so afraid of what others will say to me if they see Baekyang’s expression now.

I already know. The principle of Seonjeup Pilseung is not easy to win.

Even if you don’t listen to the details, it is said that turning a person into a bastard is enough.

“Then, did you go on a date with me until Miko-nim passed away?”

“… … .”

It’s a good word, it’s the same as saying they’ll imprison me.

Really, I’m so petulant that I cut potatoes. Try not to eat and just throw it away.

“Whoops.”

Eventually, he settles down and starts peeling potatoes, and he laughs again.

I’m so stupid… … . can’t be angry How could I be offended by such a coward’s words?

I can’t understand what kind of fear she harbors, but I can tell how relieved she is from my answer now.

“ha… … .”

If it’s possible, I’ll smile like that normally. It’s disgusting, so I’m annoyed for nothing.

* * *

Baekyang’s obsessive behavior continued even after that.

When asking how to say hello to Arrieta, who has been having a hard time keeping her balance due to the dark spirit of ＜Goblin’s Forest＞ recently.

“Arrieta. Are you used to the environment of the goblin forest now?”

“Yes, it’s a bit difficult, but I got the hang of it. It’s a pity that I can’t borrow Oz-sama’s hand because I’m used to it now.”

“What would be difficult? If you want, it’s as much as your hand… … .”

“Oz-sama?”

“… … .”

A white sheep appears.

“Can you come over for a minute?”

“Arrieta. Excuse me. I’m busy with work… … .”

“Ah yes. Mr. Oz. Bye.”

When having a nonsensical conversation with Marie.

“Oh, Oz. Come to think of it, Oz knew about the Federation well, right? I just found a strange-colored frog by the river.”

“Once the color is strange, wouldn’t it be better not to think about touching it?”

“As expected, Oz is knowledgeable about the federation.”

“No, even if it’s not federal, it’s basic… … .”

“Oz-sama?”

A white sheep appears.

“I’m thinking of preparing a late-night snack, can you help me?”

And when Eleanor came to talk to me, shaking her head.

“Ah, Master! After all, the white sheep is somehow strange today… … .”

“Oz-sama?”

A white sheep appears.

Gradually, even the gap narrows.

If I tried to ignore it, he would come right up to me and pull the hem of my clothes.

If it’s cute, it’s cute, if it’s annoying, it’s annoying. No, it’s more pitiful than that.

I don’t have any major problems with my life, but I can’t help but feel burdened when I think that I’m watching all my actions all day long.

“Mr. Oz.”

“I haven’t talked to anyone right now?”

Is it really too much to do? I’m just out of breath

“Where are you going?”

“I am going to take a bath. why? Are you going to follow me to the bathroom?”

“… … .”

Anyway, it won’t be like that.

You probably know that Baekyang is also good. Wouldn’t it be possible to allow this much leeway?

“Shall we go together?”

“… … .”

* * *

I can’t stand it.

It’s not even been a night yet, but I can’t stand it at all.

Baekyang, who was trying to follow her into the bathroom, was satisfied with persuasion and managed to block the doors and windows to freeze others in and out.

“I will freeze to death.”

The water is obviously warm, but the cold air flowing from the surroundings makes it cold to the core. I think it’s colder because I used Yogi to freeze it.

“ha… … .”

Baekyang’s behavior was beyond imagination. I didn’t expect to be so afraid.

This is on the same level as Eleanor.

Baek-yang feels the fear of her current situation on a level similar to the fear she feels in loneliness.

Furthermore, doubts about me remain unresolved, perhaps because I simply contacted her fear with few clues.

The disaster happened because I figured it out on my own, not because she said it.

“Oz. Are you inside?”

“I’m inside, so please don’t stand in front of the door like that, so can you go away?”

“Whoops.”

“No, don’t laugh… … .”

Originally, he planned to take the opportunity to tell So-yeon the truth.

It would be like lying to Baek Yang, but I was prepared to carry that lie for the rest of my life.

But Baekyang was not an idiot. You knew me too well. That’s why I try to prevent the situation itself in which I lie.

To the extent that it is close to obsession.

“Are you feeling any discomfort?”

“You are uncomfortable.”

“Whoops.”

How can I break through that bewildering goblin who avoids questions that are difficult to answer with laughter and blocks my rejection with tears?

* * *

After taking a quick bath.

I went out of the house to practice magic. Of course, Baekyang followed me as if it were natural.

“Yes, you.”

Spreading the thread of mana in the air, drawing a spell and calling the white sheep.

It is a task that requires a great deal of concentration because it is developing a technique that has not existed before, but if it is me, this level of multitasking is possible.

“Don’t you think that if you doubt me like that, everything you’ve done to understand other races will go to waste?”

ask the white sheep

“… … Think about it.”

“Then why are you doing that?”

“I know, but… … . I can’t help either.”

Baekyang let out a deep sigh. It’s something I’ve noticed recently, but the rate at which her tone of voice returns to normal has increased.

Probably, it was clear that he was consciously doing that strange way of speaking on a daily basis.

“Are you willing to trust me?”

“Trust is not something you can say you know with your head, right?”

“Isn’t it painful?”

“I feel like I’m going crazy.”

This situation is not good for her either. it’s contradicting

The act of denying herself what she tried to do is still erasing her own traces from the inside.

“Are you going to be brave?”

“… … .”

Baekyang did not answer. I just buried my face in my arms.

It can’t be a funny situation.

That will be too.

“You are a goblin who says deceit and deceit are the basics, but you can’t lie. No, are you not?”

“I am trying not to.”

“why?”

Collecting the mana he spread into the air, he turned around and looked at Baekyang. Even practicing is an excuse in the first place. I was just looking for an opportunity.

“Because I know the outcome.”

This situation where she has enough time and can talk alone.

I was just waiting.

“Aren’t you going to tell me?”

“… … .”

“Well, seeing how trembling he is, it’s not an easy thing to say. Even so, Baekyang.”

Baekyang would know. Knowing how precarious the situation is, it’s like walking on thin glass.

“If you don’t tell me, I will have no choice but to draw my own conclusions.”

“I guess so. Because you are smart.”

“Can you be sure that the conclusion I came to is what happened to you? You know, but I’m not a perfect person.”

“under… … ! What do you do with it? Since when did you become so interested in me? It’s disgusting.”

“What is the child who tried to follow me into the bathroom saying?”

“… … .”

Baekyang turned his head away as if trying to pretend. The more I look at him, the more ridiculous he is.

Does this child have no conscience?

“… … Can you promise me?”

“What?”

“I will just listen. not to interfere I’ll pretend I don’t know about this situation as if it’s flowing.”

“… … .”

A request close to a coward’s plea.

Saying the same request over and over again, he says he can’t be trusted.

That could be said to be accurate in a sense. Because I was thinking of lying.

It’s a simple thing that will end if you can just confirm with So-yeon in the first place.

Some people say it’s a no-brainer, but what if I say I’m going to do it?

From the start, I was an arrogant and self-righteous person.

But now… … .

“no.”

“… … .”

“I will listen to it and decide.”

It’s easy to lie.

As long as I’ve already decided to bear the weight, I can always repeat a shallow lie.

But trust will be broken.

I wasn’t friendly with Baekyang in the first place, and I thought it wouldn’t matter if she hated me if things could get better.

But now, well… … .

Couldn’t we be a little closer? I guess I am a person with a lot of affection.

“Arrogant and self-righteous, I will put all the stories together and make my own decisions. So white sheep. Now is your chance.”

I was thinking of becoming a liar, but I think I should only speak the truth for now.

So that’s what I’m suggesting.

Will she seize the first and last chance to leave that burden on someone else, or will she throw it away?

“So, Baekyang. say. And hold on. I will somehow make it a happy ending.”

“hahahaha… … . how do you how do you make it good The story that has already flowed will not change.”

“Didn’t I tell you in the morning?”

A silly joke.

A goal close to my source that she just laughed off.

“I am trying to save the world.”

A goal that everyone will laugh at. But a goal I never gave up on.

From the moment I possessed Oz’s body, I had already decided everything.

The battle with ‘outside beings’ intensifies and somehow saves this world that will eventually lead to an apocalypse.

“To me, the world means all the ties connected with me.”

Yes, in my world.

“There is nothing but a happy ending. I will make it happen no matter what.”

I said it in a very serious tone.

Knowing the future, I was always serious in front of this goal.

Stop the invaders from outside who covet the world itself.

Even blocking a group of bizarre psychopaths whose purpose is unknown.

I even have the arrogant goal of saving the world and ascending to the throne of God.

“say. I will free you from that fear.”

“… … ”

Can’t it just be that much?

The white sheep looks up at me.

I check my face, which is probably making a confident expression.

Make eye contact.

They face each other as if they are trying to read each other’s feelings.

“then… … .”

Soon after, Baekyang gradually stretched out her hand towards me with a trembling voice.

“Then, please.”

Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked up at me.

“Because I’m begging you… … . I’m afraid I’m going crazy… … .”

Desperation oozes from the hand holding the hem of my clothes.

“Please help me… … .”

I didn’t avoid those eyes that were more desperate than anyone else’s.

face it openly

There is no hesitation. There is no reason to be burdened. No wonder.

‘Cause I didn’t lie

“yes.”

Nothing difficult.

It’s a simple thing compared to challenging the position of a god.

I, who has such grand ambitions, can’t I just listen to the goblin who is trembling in fear?

And even if it’s not that, didn’t I learn from Tia in ＜Skientia＞?

“I will do your favor.”

How to give answers to prayers.

And how reassuring it can be.
