16-2. The excitement of final exams goes hand in hand with youth.

***

I headed for the library that way.

A treasure trove of splendid knowledge inside Grand Hearts Academia. There, a person was sitting on a pile of books.

“A nameless saint? Huh. Other people have been asking about it too….”

“Sage, what do you mean..?”

“I can’t see the future of such a person, so I don’t know.”

The woman with the devil horns let out a long sigh. Sage of the Magic Tower. A person with the ability to foresee the future among the Ten Girls. This person also doesn’t know the saintess?

‘..Something is strange.’

In the game, he was a character who told us the route of all unconfirmed possibilities.

“..Are you the famous Licht?”

“Oh, yes. You’re right.”

He was a more famous hero than the name Azmodeus.

“..In the first place, the uncertainty of ‘there is no name’ is too great.”

“You said even Laplace-sama didn’t know that.”

The librarian of the Where all information from the past is recorded. I have already met President Laplace. That person also shook his head.

‘I can’t do this. It was only That the status window informed me that a contradiction had occurred. There was no mention of it in , Where the saintess first appeared.’

“Then he must be a person who never existed before. Someone lied.”

“No. Never.”

I immediately responded. The helmet rattled, and embarrassment was evident on his body. I avoided it because it could be a spoiler. Maybe this person is wrong.

‘It could be that you can’t see because the head is woven together. Or a magic hat….’

My hands started shaking. Damn, the body is in trouble again. I bit my tongue at my own weakness. There was an assumption that the purpose of the cult of warriors was the saintess.

‘If it was like that in the first place, I’d be aiming for Shalltines.’

Contradictions. To begin with, she wouldn’t be a saint now. She must be the 3rd generation saint, not the 2nd generation.

“..Aren’t you misinformed? Isn’t it hanging on to the head’s ignorance?”

“A new chick who knows nothing about the future is singing well.”

“Did you see my future?”

“Yes. Of course? But it’s bothering me, so I won’t tell you.”

Ugh, I hate this person for this reason. He is a person who spreads unconfirmed information even if the player gets close to him. The in-game weather forecast was not as accurate as the real-life weather forecast.

She was yawning as if she was tired after repeating the same answer dozens of times already. I crossed my arms and started thinking.

‘To say that, the corruption route was successful.’

Even if you tell me the condition of losing a loved one, they won’t believe it. Because only the players know the backstory of the demon lords.

“…”

Or they might find out that I’m the possessor of this game. It’s too risky. What solution should I come up with?

Ah, that was it.

“Don’t you want to look good to Drake?”

“..What? How do you do that, wait, your name must be….”

“Yes, I am Licht, his disciple.”

This person had a crush on Drake. As soon as I took out Master’s name, the sudden change of attitude was amazing. Eyes shaking and restless look.

“..If you ever see the future of our saintess, please tell me right away. Then I’m fine.”

“Hey!! Wait!”

Let’s stop here and leave. I turned around and left the library. I am still not enough to connect the love line between Master and the wise man.

“I’ll find it for you, so just talk nonsense to Drake!!”

Wouldn’t it be an opportunity to give me courage if I shake it up and leave? I felt like I couldn’t bear to hear any more grim stories about the saintess.

It was then. Familiar figures passed before my eyes. I was so nervous that I walked fast and almost missed it.

“Uh, Licht.”

“Mr. Pugu, are you on your way to the library?”

I ran into a group of warriors who were going to have lunch. Now, it seemed that even the crown prince was completely mixed in with the crowd.

“Licht, we are going to the Grancia Bakery. Do you want to go too?”

The blonde-haired hero suggested it with a smile. Good night. Since I had to raise the love level of Kainel and Ariel, I had to follow him unconditionally. I barely came to my senses and looked ahead.

“..Good. Please take the lead.”

It was very fortunate that he was wearing a helmet and his expression was not revealed.

***

The savory smell of baking bread stung my nose. This is a famous bakery in that empire. Luxurious decorations and furnishings give it a luxurious feel.

“Licht. Eat a lot.”

So you are eating the most. There are already several empty plates on the glass knight’s table. I don’t know how to get it into my mouth.

“I understand. Mr. Mardol.”

Because he was a man who thoroughly covered his face with glass magic to eat. Apparently, he didn’t want to be exposed to the fact that he was the crown prince.

“And don’t get hurt. Licht.”

Seeing people turn their worries around in this way, I felt a bit embarrassed. Are you saying eat well and get well soon? Hagiya shed blood when he went down the Corruption route.

But now that I think about it, did you talk too long? I nodded my head and looked at the menu.

‘Special Apple Pie, Eclair…. That one?’

A familiar name. Come to think of it, this must be because it is the Grancia Empire Bakery.

“I’ll have one with the chocolate cake.”

A birthday present given to me by a nameless saintess. I received it as an item, but I couldn’t even open the packaging because it was a waste. I actually got something to eat.

At that moment, a mumbling sound was heard from the side.

“..I like strawberry cake.”

Mardol quickly took care of the crispy croissant, then interrupted me as I was choosing a menu. Strawberry Cake? Is it possible to eat more there?

“..I like the crab sandwich. Licht.”

“The teddy bear sandwich recommended by Mardol is also cute! Mr. Helm!”

As I stared at the glass knight with strange eyes, a couple of warriors also participated in the story. I hope you guys get along quickly.

“How about a chocolate crepe? Mr. Cainell. Didn’t you like that?”

“Huh? Mr. Tugu? Is it real? Isn’t it..?”

“Ariel..! No! You know I hate sweets!”

Kinel shakes his head and strongly denies. Seeing that, Ariel gave a meaningful smile. It’s also a red-eyed cat.

“..hehehe, is our Kai still a picky eater?”

“What? Ariel? What are you talking about now….”

“No, it could be~. How long have I been looking at you Kai!”

“…”

You also come up with ideas like this. Scary. Elven wizard. I was conveying my heart that I couldn’t be honest.

‘Because tsunderes don’t necessarily use violence or scream.’

He gave a small nod of his head as a sign that he was doing well. She must have had a big change of heart because Kynell almost died. The method has changed a bit more sophisticated.

“To some extent.. I can eat it.. Ariel.”

The corners of her mouth began to rise as her blonde haired warrior spoke in her crawling voice. It’s a cute response.

“Then Kai, do you want to eat that with me? I don’t really want to eat with you!”

I saw small letters engraved next to the chocolate crepe. Kynell was staring at her table with her head down.

‘Couple set. It’s classic.’

I was aiming for that from the beginning, but they are a really fresh couple. Inside the helmet, I smiled for some reason. I shouldn’t laugh. You have to be patient.

“Are the crab sandwiches delicious? Kai?”

“Yeah.. Would you like a bite..? Ariel?”

“What, what..! Ah, yes. I’d like to give it to you…”

Yellowy, whose eyes completely disappeared due to her fear of sweets, handed Ariel the sandwich she was eating,

“..This is delicious too. Kai..!”

She took a little bite like a squirrel and gnawed at it.

The red-haired sorceress’s face turned slightly red, and she was smiling bashfully. She looked at it as if she was glad that Kynell was to her liking.

‘I’ll have to put this aside.’

Because only Ariel should monopolize Kynell, who frowns and eats all of her chocolate crepe. She thinks it is her love that makes her hate something she likes.

There is no room for me to intervene.

“Mr. Mardol. Would you like to follow me for a moment?”

Ah, while the seat was vacated, I had to take the prince out as well. I had something to tell you.

“Licht, why?”

“..There are some things like that.”

It’s been over a month already, and I’ve been so distracted that I forgot about it. The glass knight followed me out of the bakery.

A quiet alley not far from the place where the warrior couple is.

“Come on. Here, the Queen of Hearts.”

“..Huh?”

I made sure there was no one around there and then I held a card to Mardol. A trump card with an impressive Queen of Hearts pattern.

The hostages held by the Demon King of Truth had to be returned to their original families.

“..This, no way?”

“Yes, I got it back from Magic Hat. Empress Belin Grancia is here.”

“…”

The glass knight, who carefully received the card with his hands shaking, stared at it for a long time without even moving.

“I had it for over a month, so I forgot.”

There has never been a case to deliver. As soon as he got out of the prince’s hug, he was being turned around like an electric grilled chicken by Cainel.

“..Sorry. It’s too late.”

But rather than that kind of excuse, this is better. Actually, I was going to give it to you once the magic hat’s authority was resolved. I was embarrassed that I still had it.

“..Mr. Mardol?”

I finally confessed my mistake, but there was no reaction from the glass knight. It just froze while holding the card dearly. Worried about his well-being, I approached and examined him.

At that time, a small voice was heard.

“Thank you.. Richt.. Really.. I am.. Weak..”

His fingertips continued to tremble, and the golden eyes in the helm lost focus. You’re crying Sadness emanated from the hum of his voice.

“..It’s okay. Mr. Mardol. It’s not your fault.”

“I couldn’t save you… Licht you…”

He patted the glass knight on the back and offered comfort. Even so, I had no idea that this kind of reaction would come out.

‘Today, I miss my parents too.’

Mardol is already sitting down and talking sadly. I sat down beside him. It was on the ground without a proper chair, but what is it?

“Don’t say you couldn’t find it. If Mr. Mardol hadn’t pulled the time, I wouldn’t have been able to either.”

“..That’s not a lie.”

It actually did. Thanks to the Glass Knight confronting Magic Hat and creating an opening, she was able to put her far away into the void.

“You know that lying is very obvious.”

I was able to successfully transform into a demon king while also saving Kinel and Ariel. If the couple of warriors had been fighting alone, they would have lost their lives to Magic Hat long ago.

‘He was the one who fought last. He could have run away, but he didn’t.’

Even if you have master piece level equipment, fighting the demon lord is a very difficult task.

In the end, if the Crown Prince hadn’t risked her life and resisted, I wouldn’t have been able to get Empress Belin Grancia back either. It was the place I visited after seeing the glass pieces he left behind from the beginning.

“..Thank you for fighting until the end.”

“Even though I was weak, I was able to protect it.”

“Yes, that’s right. So, a bit more confident…. Mr. Mardol?!”

It was then. A large shadow covered my body.

“..Sorry. To fight alone.”

Warak. Mardol came close to me as if he were falling.

“I was afraid of losing someone again.. I was scared.. Licht..”

I thought the glass knight’s armor was heavy on me. Unlike the last hug, he held me and just sobbed.

“I’m fine now.”

I continued to pat Mardol on the back. There might be some people who would think it disgusting to see the four men doing this, but the situation was serious.

‘..Looks like he really suffered a lot.’

I let out a small sigh in my heart. Still, I wasn’t trying to press down with force, but I was trying to rely on it because it was difficult, so let’s look at it a little bit.

“Because everyone gets scared. Mr. Mardol.”

I too was afraid of the saintess and ran away. It could be said that they resemble each other. ‘Cause I know how you feel

“Everything is fine. Hasn’t her mother also been brought back?”

“..Thanks, Licht.”

That’s how the warrior couple comforted the glass knight until they finished their meal. Whether the flag was raised or not, it was too pitiful to throw such a person out.
