For the time being, I should achieve my first goal. First of all, ‘find the great sage and gather information.’ There are so many things to do that I don’t know where to start, so if I set a goal for the time being and push forward, I may find a clue to the situation. Marieta also seems to have never been in contact with the ‘great sage’ during the loop so far, so I think it will be an approach from a new angle to solve the problem.
“That said, I noticed the existence of the ‘great sage’ at the end of my last life, so I don’t have much specific information. That’s why I don’t have any clues to find out. . .”
“Yes. How did Marieta know about the existence of the great sage?”
In response to my question, Marieta thought about it, tilting her head to remember something.
“That’s right. . . The direct cause of the world’s collapse is slightly different every time, but before the world collapses, there will always be a great war involving the whole continent. There were various names of the war, but I think the most used was ‘Galfasia Wars’.”
“Hmm, will there be wars all over the continent? I’m planning to peddle around the continent with Ursch-kun after graduation, but I don’t want a war to break out.”
“Ursch-kun and peddling? By any chance, Ursch-kun is Ursch Schneiver of Schneiver & Co.?”
After affirming the question, Marieta stopped on the spot and began to worry about something.
What the hell is it? Come to think of it, it was Ursch-kun who introduced a job called a wine factory away from the Royal Capital to Marieta’s family, but there must have been no direct contact with him who introduced it. So, what does Marieta know about Ursch-kun and is what she’s thinking about right now Ursch-kun in the loop?
I don’t know what Marieta is thinking right now, but for the time being, I decided to wait silently until her thoughts were settled.
Marieta, who had been thinking suspiciously for a while, turned to me with a serious expression, perhaps because she had finally settled her thoughts.
“Hey Isabella, I don’t know what kind of connection you have with Ursch-kun, but I think it’s better not to get involved with him too much. Keep your distance from him while you’re in the academy and stay away from him.”
. . . My fiancé is treated as a dangerous person to be cautious about and not be in contact with from the heroine.
No, even if I am told not to get involved, Ursch-kun is my fiancĂ©, and in three years, we will get married and become a family. Come to think of it, I told Marieta that I had a fiancĂ©, but I didn’t say who it was.
But I won’t say, ‘It’s terrible to talk about someone’s fiancĂ© like that.’ Because I somehow understand the badness of ‘Game Ursch-kun’ so far. At the turning point of whether he got engaged to me or not, i somehow understand that there will be a big difference in Ursch-kun’s personality and what he creates with alchemy. I think Marieta is probably talking about, ‘Ursch-kun who lived an unengaged life,’ that is, ‘Game Ursch-kun’ that I know.
However, when I heard about the items created by Ursch-kun that I purchased in the game and the story that Ursch-kun was trying to create a [Gluttony Pig] mask in the past, I just predicted the personality of ‘Game Ursch-kun’ in my own way, so I don’t know Ursch-kun who was in the past loops.
But here and now, there is Marieta who knows Ursch-kun, who would have been in the past loops.
“Let’s see. Why shouldn’t I get involved with Ursch-kun?”
If I tell her that Ursch-kun is my fiancĂ©, I might not be able to hear her true feelings, so I’ll just ask questions without saying that. I’m sorry, Marieta, I’m just trying to get information without saying anything important.
“I don’t know much about him either, but there have been a lot of rumors around him in the academy life so far. . . He was actually marked as a dangerous person by the military police, so the rumors were credible.”
“Rumors? What kind of rumors were there?”
“That’s. . . contrary to the rules in the academy, he would use and sell things he made in class to students.”
It’s an items that you can buy with points. I understand.
“In addition, he was selling prototypes of unapproved experimental items.”
It’s about the charged items. I understand.
“At a certain price, he sells things that you don’t know what kind of product is in it.”
Your talking about the billing lotto. I understand.
“Some of the students who are said to have exchanged such products went missing. If you get close to him, you won’t be able to leave.”
That’s the first time I’ve heard of it. Missing is quite important, isn’t it?
“There are a certain number of students who can’t get used to the academy and run out every year, but the academy also takes care of the students, so they ask the guards and military police to search for them, but for three years since I entered the academy, there are more missing people than usual and it’s-”
“That’s because of Ursch-kun.”
“It’s not clearly proven that he’s the cause. It’s just suspicious. But among the missing people, some of the students who were not found were often seen being with him, so he was one of the people marked by the military police. I think it was even more suspicious because there was a rumor that he was hiding in the academy and exchanging money. But if it’s true, I’m worried about Isabella. So I don’t want you to get involved with him if possible.”
I see. It can’t be thought that bad behavior backfired, but it can’t be helped to be alarmed if the people who were with Ursch-kun went missing one after another.
But is that really all?
Just saying that such a rumor was spreading, I don’t think Marieta would tell me not to get involved. I don’t think Marieta is just swayed such a rumor, and she’s not a heroine who can be influenced. There must be something else that makes Marieta hesitate to approach.
“Is that all? Are you really saying that for that reason? No matter how many times you loop, I think that Marieta, who has been trying to live a strong and positive life, doesn’t have the personality of evaluating someone just by rumors you’ve heard.”
When I said that, Marieta looked from side to side and shut up. Whether she was trying to calm down, Marieta, who stroked Bella’s head in her arms and wrapped her small hand, began to talk about it after a while.
“When I was looping several times, I found out that my father was kidnapping a lot of people,”
Marieta’s father is Viscount Hillson. The Colors Collector.
“I’m a mistress’s child, so I didn’t live with him and I didn’t know much about my father, but when I found out that the serial kidnapper who was heard about all over the world was my father, I was killed by my father.”
If you’ve been looping over and over again, you might have noticed that fact. I don’t know if it’s the same as the game, but did Marieta have a bad end in the Colors Collector edition?
“From the next life, I tried to stop my father many times, but I couldn’t even know why I was doing that, let alone persuade him not to, so I failed many times.”
I’m sure no matter how hard Marieta tried to persuade him, he wouldn’t stop. He clung to his sons for four generations and just tried to revive his wife. For that reason, he’s been guilty too much since before Marieta was born, and he was already past the time when he can be persuaded and discouraged.
“One of the causes of failure is the existence of Ursch Schneiver, I don’t know if he and my father had a connection, but I think his interests matched and there was a cooperative relationship. Ursch-kun didn’t directly interfere, but his existence is often flickering in the shadow of obstruction. But no matter how many times I tried again, I couldn’t prove Ursch-kun’s involvement. Still, I don’t think it’s completely irrelevant.”
If there was a connection between Viscount Hillson and Ursch-kun, it would be related to the [Anti-Soul Necklace]. No matter how much Ursch-kun is the second son of the company, it’s hard to believe that he was allowed to make items that are made from the human soul so easily. Then, considering where they were prototyping, researching, and creating it, it’s no wonder that there were collaborators who provided materials and production places. If there is a person named Viscount Hillson who has been studying for more than 100 years in the same royal capital, it is safe to have a connection.
Therefore, he may have been making [Anti-Soul Necklace] that had been thrown into the billing lotto in the academy. So, even though the [Anti-Soul Necklace] was completed, considering why he continued to make a large amount, it must have been a problem with the state of the soul of Viscount Hillson’s wife, Lindsay-san. Lindsay-san’s soul was decomposed and became an energy body, and the activation of the [Anti-Soul Necklace] in the first place was a problem, so he couldn’t completely revive the soul. Isn’t that why he continued to make it for improvement?
I don’t know if Ursch-kun at that time really wanted to bring Viscount Hillson’s wife back to life. I don’t like to think that he might have used Lindsay’s resurrection as an excuse to keep using Viscount Hillson .
If you think about it, it’s quite big and indescribable that Ursch-kun may have been involved in the missing students.
I can’t confidently say that with the current Urscch-kun such a thing will never happen!!
“It’s okay, Marieta!! Because there is no such rumor for Ursch-kun this time. Because as his fiancĂ©e, I’m stuck next to Ursch-kun, so I won’t let him do anything wrong!”
“He’s your fiancĂ©?”
“Yeah. I said I had a fiancĂ©, didn’t I? That fiancĂ© is Ursch-kun.”
“Eh. . . . Why? Why is the fiancĂ© of Isabella, a duke’s daughter, Ursch Schneiver?”
That’s good. Let me tell you what has happened so far since the encounter between me and Ursch-kun. First of all, I will explain in order from my previous life, so don’t worry a little when you hear that. In Marieta’s life this time, Ursch-kun and I cleaned up most of the problems, so it’s time to avoid the loop problem and the world’s collapse problem!!
So it sounds about like what we were expecting. But this time, he is completely obsessed with Isabella, so he won’t do anything that she would think of as ‘unforgivable’. He really doesn’t want her to hate him after all. Am I the only one who would like to see a jealous Ursch? I want to see more romance and more sides to Ursch! I need to see how their relationship progresses from child to adult-ish!
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
