25-1. Everyone needs a headache pill.

***

The morning of the academy was bright again. I, who had been taking classes since the first period, looked at the transparent status window popping up in front of my eyes.

[Kynel♡Ariel 35% ‘NEW!’]

As I was groaning like a sick chicken from a hangover, I wondered while watching it. If you think about it, isn’t something strange?

‘Did my relationship increase while buying food?’

The point is that even when I’m not looking at it, the love level is counted. It was like that even after the final battle with Magic Hat last time.

To be honest, I’m not sure if this is working or not. The penalty also did not change from ‘??’. Let’s put our chin on our chin and look ahead.

“..So, gentlemen, the three basic elements of magic are mana, circuit, and chant.”

A blue-haired man drawing three circles like a Venn diagram on a blackboard. Dennis was giving a lecture.

“Magic is a study that ignores the physical laws of the world. Akasha, the god of intellect, is in charge. Then, student Mardol.”

After writing something down, Dennis asked the glassman a question.

“Can you tell me what the other gods are in charge of?”

“Tardune is in charge of swordsmanship, Pantos is in charge of spiritism, and Jisheh is in charge of divine power.”

“That is correct.”

After he heard the answer, he began writing on the blackboard. Those responsible for each deity are underlined and highlighted.

“There are two more higher gods above, but they are reticent….”

I looked at the four statues around me. It definitely seems to be that way. Drake also said the name of Tardun before leaving for group assignments.

‘Because Laplace also mentioned Akasha’s name at her entrance ceremony.’

I didn’t know the exact name in the setting book I saw before being possessed, but here, it’s so famous that anyone walking down the street can ask.

A world made up of magic, swordsmanship, divine power and spiritism. Because that is the world view of the game . If it’s natural, is it natural?

“..Licht.”

“Why is that?”

“Should I show you my notes?”

When I crossed my arms and looked like I couldn’t concentrate in class, Mardol, who was sitting next to me, started talking to me.

“It’s okay.”

“..Yes.”

A glass knight with his head down. When I saw it, my heart melted. If I’m depressed like that, it’s like I’ve become a bad person.

“No. Just show me a little bit. I missed what you just explained.”

After her drinking, she and I had a more comfortable relationship. The misunderstanding that she was the crown prince had been resolved, and she didn’t seem to be aiming for a reverse harem.

“You can start with this page. Licht.”

“Thank you. Mr. Mardol.”

After clashing swords in the grade exam, they acknowledged each other’s strength, so they were rivals like friends.

‘Some of them feel like real friends of the same sex because they don’t take off their helmets.’

Besides, she was too kind and naive to push her away just because she was a woman. He was also the first person to notice my wounds and take care of me since the saintess. That alone comforted me a lot.

“The handwriting is round and cute.”

“..Ah. Yes. That, right?”

“Mr. Mardol? Why?”

“Ah.. No.”

I just said a word of praise out of gratitude. She looks down her head again. She said to cheer up, but I guess it wasn’t much.

“Licht has a cute handwriting…. Great?”

“Because I have bad handwriting. It’s just envy.”

“I won. Then.”

You still have a strong desire to win. I was a little certain that maybe there would be no love line with this person.

Because there was no case in the game where rivals had a love line. I’m sure.’

Unaware of the slight twinkle in Mardol’s eyes staring at my hand, I followed her notes and took notes.

***

Fine Grancia was staring at the man’s hand.

‘The veins on the back of my hand are very prominent. Richt.’

Since she had good eyes, she could tell right away that it was a sign of holding and swinging the sword for a long time.

A medal and mark of hard training. Fine swallowed her saliva involuntarily in her glass helmet.

“..Why is that?”

“Oh, no. That… it wasn’t like I was looking at you.”

“Yes? What’s on my hand?”

She has been feeling something strange lately when she sees Licht. A subtle sense that keeps your eyes on you and makes you nervous.

‘..Is it cute? My handwriting.’

She wiggled her fingers over her notebook, glancing at the male handwriting that was the exact opposite of her own. I suddenly had the urge to touch those veins.

“Mr. Mardol. I don’t think you learned this part..?”

“Ah, that, that’s what I wrote in advance about what I know.”

“I see. This is what you have to do to twist the magic circuit.”

It was then. She was startled by a man in a black knight’s helm who spoke to her momentarily, and spoke her words uncharacteristically. Incredibly long sentences.

‘Why am I like this these days?’

Perhaps it was because Licht was the most comfortable person for her to deal with.

As strong as she is, the only person who knows and understands her story related to the demon lord.

A support and a comfortable person to lean on.

‘I’m just grateful…. Is it because I’m grateful?’

She thought as she looked into the man’s brown eyes, which had softened even more. It used to look like a creature called a hedgehog with needles that I saw in a book.

“Okay, I transcribed everything. Thank you.”

“Am I helpful?”

“Sure. Mr. Mardol. I’ll buy you a drink later on the terrace.”

Isn’t it like a completely docile black puppy now? She remembered Licht’s spirit, Kkamangi, whom she had seen before. A fluffy and soft spirit.

‘Then I wonder if Licht’s hair… Is also soft?’

Fine imagined the man in the helm, and a sudden question raised her white tail up in her armour.

***

At that moment, a countess of the Grancia Empire. A place that was once called the land of water. There, in the living room, a man and a woman were sitting facing each other.

“So.. Why did you come here?”

“No big deal, do you want to marry Nex Aureus?”

The young lady, who was sipping black tea, stopped moving at that remark. He looked surprised that his intentions had been understood.

“How..?”

“This old man was also at the social club.”

A gentleman who takes off his mask and sees a monocle. Head Ake smiled and spoke to the black-haired woman in front of her.

“Lady Aqua. They deal with the killer whale spirit.”

“..Tell me about your business.”

An impressive woman with black hair that resembles a killer whale. She used to be the one who threw a glass at Nex at a social gathering.

“No big deal. Use spirit magic, then I’ll make a marriage contract with Nex.”

“Is that all? You seem to be looking for something else.”

“As expected. Young lady.”

Feeling something strange, seeing Aqua aggressively treating the opponent, Head grunted and groaned. He took a book out of her arms and drew a line.

“At Grand Hearts Academia, all you have to do is grab the ankle of a professor named Dennis.”

“..Against ten girls? There’s no way I could do that.”

“It should be possible if you find all the fragments of the treasure you are looking for in the family. Am I wrong about what I know?”

“Then the person who told me the place at that time…?!”

That moment. Aqua’s eyes narrowed. She rose from her seat and splashes of water began to splash around her. The salty scent of the sea that pierces the head’s nose.

“Is it fun to become the daughter of a count family in a remote area that succeeded overnight thanks to my tricks? Young lady.”

“..Who are you?”

“You mean me? It’s a common name.”

A large killer whale was threatening to eat him with its mouth wide open at the feet of Head, but his expression was relaxed.

“Head Ake. He is the Demon King of Battery. Young lady.”

“…”

“It’s not like I’m telling you to kill people. Just flood it with enough water to dilute the alcohol.”

The reason Aqua’s family was revived was thanks to a treasure told by a mysterious guest from the past. Sensing that she had been fooled by her tricks from the beginning, she felt terrified as she saw the man in front of her.

“..Orca, bite me!”

She was the one who used her spirit to attack as soon as she heard the name of the demon king, but something was wrong with her. A killer whale standing still without even a slight movement with her mouth open.

“..Huh?”

“Isn’t it going as I thought? Young lady?”

“Why doesn’t the orca listen to me?”

“Orca… Orkara, that’s what it was. But what can I do?”

He opened his mouth as he stroked the head of a black killer whale that was just breathing with its face out of the water. The spirit’s eyes were unfocused and blurry.

“This kid doesn’t even have that name anymore.”

“.. Huh? That killer whale… What the hell was it? Clearly.. Clearly precious….”

Aqua staggers as if feeling dizzy. He tried to recall the name of the spirit in front of him, but failed every time.

“..Everyone has a headache. Lady Aqua.”

“My name was… Aqua?”

“Well, maybe they know better than you.”

As soon as the man puts down the cup she was holding, the woman in front of her sinks into the abyss of oblivion, unable to even remember her own name.

“Lady!! Where are you!! Aqua lady!!”

“Miss Aqua is gone!”

Even the servants hurriedly wandering around the living room did not seem to understand Head and Aqua. She continued to pass a woman with long black hair and a man with a monocle right next to her.

Like a train running on parallel lines going round and round. The maid and butler were running around looking for their master.

“The power of ignorance works well, but why didn’t the boy named Richt work yesterday? Hmm… No matter how much I think about it, it’s questionable.”

Head got up from his seat and thought about something, and after time passed and the spirit disappeared, he spoke to Aqua again.

“..Will you accept my offer now? If it’s a fallen family, shouldn’t we repay the favor to the benefactor?”

As he wiped the water from his damp clothes, the Demon King of Battery smiled with a kind expression.
