19-4. The difference between a guard dog and a wolf.

***

Inside the male dormitory of the academy. Kynell has told me to take a day off because I don’t look well.

“..It will turn.”

I was left alone, looking through my notes for the first time in a while, checking to see if I had missed anything. I searched all the members of the royal family of Grancia.

‘Why doesn’t Mardol’s name appear?’

Black hair like lupus and wolf ears. It must be gold. Besides, she is a woman. Seeing the reaction, I’m sure I’ll know. In the first place, pure white hair like anyone else is unusual.

“..Is it really a new heroine?”

In fact, even if it was improvised, it made sense. Because she is a person who is completely at odds with the great northern princess that the pillar Western guy likes.

If you flip the settings of popular characters, they are also popular in most cases. Or just change clothes and insist on other attributes.

In fact, a character in a swimsuit was released in the middle of winter.

But why doesn’t our saintess have a swimsuit version? Thinking about it makes me angry. I was kind of annoyed as I closed the notebook.

Perhaps his real name is Mardol Grancia. Even the hypothesis that he was a double was incorrect. Although he was right that he was a separate person.

Just as Lupus popped up without warning in the sequel, Can of course do that too. The producers of that damn sequel even caught up with me.

I narrowed my forehead. Are you saying we should give up on our saintess? You want me to see you get married to another man in a wedding dress?

The character possessed is, of course, the ‘black knight’. A name that must be sacrificed for the sake of a loved one. It may be that he is trying to use this point enough to trick me.

If you can’t get closest to our saintess, she’ll want to bite her tongue right away. What a miserable person he was from the beginning.

‘A character that had no name and was implicitly abandoned even among players due to its lack of ability….’

For those who enjoyed the , It was standard practice to leave it as a healer only in the beginning and change it later.

It was hard to fight with her behind her, even if I had to press down on her controls or her gear. Although she was such a weak person.

“..He was stronger than anyone in his heart.”

Even though he lacked ability, he always worried about the weak and saved me with a warmer heart than anyone else. The saying that there are days when the rat hole gets sunburned was exactly like this.

I lay down on the bed and reached for the magic lamp hanging from the ceiling. Just like I can’t hold onto her light, if she goes on like this, she and I might not be able to get close.

The pure white woman who was wary of trying to create a harem was good in her eyes. She believes in pure love, so it must be difficult for me to be close to Mardol. How would you cover the sun with your palms? Laughter came out.

I’m already involved with the demon lord, so I shouldn’t be in danger at the moment when I’m far away. She closed her eyes tightly and tried to shake off the negative thoughts.

‘..I think I’m missing something important.’

My senses became sharper at the constant questioning. The questions followed one after another. Why is Mardol so involved with me?

“Is it since Shadow Wolf? Probably. Because Professor D.Jour said that.”

I guess the fact that I twisted the couple of warriors and put them on the wagon itself was the starting point of the butterfly effect. I met the butler there, and Mardol must have been interested in my presence.

A person obsessed with strength. She must have found her Drake-style swordsmanship quite enchanting. There is also the problem that Master only invited me as the disciple.

“..And I mistook her for her lupus.”

Confirmation bias has occurred because there is too much information. If I hadn’t known much about the game from the start, I wouldn’t have had this kind of misunderstanding.

If you’re really a woman, it’s better to only ride the fellow route. This time, I had to check if it was really a woman. Because information I don’t know exactly has always been poison here.

“Magic Hat was also a woman…. She didn’t even know about Nex, so she almost let Senior Chartines die.”

Because it was a prequel, there were many variables. I was trying my best to save our saintess, but I had nowhere to confide my worries.

Ah, come to think of it, I once told Mardol to take good care of her nameless saintess.

The relationship has already become tangled like a thread, too complicated to unravel. It was the same situation a little while ago.

“..Richt lies too.”

It was a wrong start from the beginning. They were keeping secrets from each other. Is it a good feeling? He also knew how to hide the fact that I was a possessor.

“Is it so obvious that I am lying….”

I let out a sigh. Even that careless Yellowy was talking about it, and Ariel also scolded me. A lie grows and grows like a snowball.

In the end, it is a self-sufficient profit made by me who was very timid. Actually pretending to possess a game and asking for help….

No. Absolutely not. Who in the world would understand that ‘you are a character in a game’? Even I, possessed by Rich, feel as if this world is real.

“..What should I do next?”

My prediction is that, in the end, the love line within the academy needs to be without ‘contradiction’ so that we can enter the grand route of our saintess.

‘What is this person’s love line?’

A sudden thought sent goosebumps all over my body. Could it be me? Not only do I have no tolerance for women,

If you go out with someone else, you won’t be able to get close to our saintess. I don’t even have the mind to do that.

‘If, by any chance, you cannot follow the ‘Saintess Route’, and you cannot protect our Saintess because you do not get close to each other….’

I lowered my head. My head was too complicated. Is there really nothing in the world that can only be done with the mind?

“Stop it. Soohyun Lee. As long as you worry, the situation will not change.”

I got up from my seat. I brought the Soonae Injector No. 2. The grip of her sword tightened. Traces of effort that stand out today.

Looking at them, I felt proud for some reason. This is like the footsteps of my life,

Because I felt like I could confidently say, ‘I tried my best for you’ when I saw the saintess.

“Because the saintess is a special person to me.”

I was happy. A smile crept across his lips. Even just imagining her, she is a person who supports me.

‘The person who saved me.’

Some say time is medicine. How can you love one person for 15 years? I just did it. The other woman didn’t notice.

She was such a shining presence to me. She was like a fireworks display in the dark night sky. When the darkness comes, that kind of thing that makes you know its preciousness even more.

‘The person who made me believe in love.’

Someone told me to give up. First love is something that can’t come true. I know. That’s why it’s more precious and more lovely.

I really want to see the white snow-like wolf ears prick up. I hope you can enjoy the cute image of him stepping backwards when he’s happy.

‘The person I like.’

Stories that take lightly common love in the world. That didn’t apply to me at the moment. I want to make you happy by your side no matter what.

This world is a cold place where there are four demon lords. Such a place did not suit our saintess.

‘The person I love.’

Her Now I love her.

“..That’s all.”

The depth of love cannot be measured. It can’t be expressed in numbers, and you shouldn’t carelessly talk about the love of others.

After clearing my mind, I realized what I should do for the grade exam.

I have to get Mana Rose and give it to the saintess later.

That was the best I could do at the moment. Even if he thought about her love line with the princess, it wouldn’t be a problem if she stayed with her anyway.

***

Time passed just like that,

[Finally, the last day of the grade exam has dawned!]

Two black and white knights stood in the circular arena.

“Hello, Licht.”

“Hello.. Mr. Mardol.”

When I changed the title back to normal, the glass knight’s body moved slightly, showing embarrassment. I laughed a little bit when I saw it.

“What..?”

You’re such a poor person. You seemed very cold when I first saw you, but you have changed a lot too.

“Didn’t you hate it?”

“..That’s right.”

Mardol gave a small nod. Because he doesn’t want his identity to be revealed in the first place, so he’s a person who even wears master piece level equipment.

‘This is probably the right way to ride a fellow route.’

The conclusion I came to after thinking about it for a long time. I’m not sure how to treat a woman, but wouldn’t it be okay if I treated her as much as I would a male colleague?

Kinel gets along well with me too. She gets along well with Ariel. Her lack of dating history shouldn’t be holding her back here.

Thanks to our saintess, I learned to love through a game. Who can. That’s me

“..Licht.”

It was then. After a moment lost in her thoughts, she spoke to me as she raised her sword.

“I don’t know you very well. Licht.”

In the golden eyes that shone inside the helmet, a cold spirit filled her body, sharpening her senses.

“..Me too.”

That was true. I didn’t know anything from start to finish. I also pulled out the sword at my waist. The opponent is a female protagonist who inherits the blood of Emperor Locke.

[Student Licht wearing a black knight helmet, and a shining white knight wearing glass armor. I am a Mardol student!]

When you think about it, it was a very strange meeting. Although our appearances were opposite to each other, the two of us were similar.

[Black and white. Two incompatible knights face off now! Who will be the first among the freshmen of the academy!]

One is obsessed with strength, the other is obsessed with the saintess. We couldn’t be honest with each other. How much sadness did you endure alone?

Between yesterday’s incident and the last time I chatted at the swordsmanship training ground, I was always the type to hurt Mardol.

“Sure. You.”

I wonder if we can learn a lot after this battle. Talking about it is just useless. Swordsmen are a tribe that communicates with swords.

My heart pounded as I heard her declaration of war. You’ll be able to see battles using magic.

“..Tell me.”

A humming voice from within the glass helmet spreads throughout the arena,

[Grand Hearts Academia’s grade exam, the last game! Now! Let’s begin!!]

Mardol’s golden wolf eyes shone.
