For the time being, I didnât want to talk in a place where the students were gathering and having a campfire, so I decided to move.
We entered the main school building, which was open as an evacuation site, and looked for a vacant room, but there was no place where we could talk about important things, so we went out to the hanging garden on a large semicircular balcony. As expected, there were no students who came to see the hanging garden at this time, and there was no one including the staff, so we decided on a place there, and Ursch-kun and I held the handrail on the balcony and looked down at the burning staff building.
âSo. . . who is the person who planted the Mystic Eye of the Seven Deadly Sins on me and tried to artificially create a demon king?â
Certainly, at that time, Ursch-kun said, âHeâs someone you know, a man I hate, and weâll never see him again.â I was curious because I still donât have anyone that I can think of.
âDo you remember the day Isabella came to visit my workshop and imitated a creature called a gorilla?â
âForget it. Forget about that.â
Now that I think of it, I canât believe I did such a thing in front of the boy I liked. Itâs a shame, black history, forget it as soon as possible, Ursch-kun. But Ursch-kun shook his head ruthlessly and refused.
âItâs no good. I will never forget any memories of my precious days with Isabella, even if itâs Isabellaâs request. Every minute and every second I spend with Isabella herself is my treasure, so I wonât lose it and I wonât give it to anyone. Even if itâs my other self.â
Another self? What is that? I wonder if Ursch-kun is still burning his rivalry to Ursch-kun, the game character of âLove Magicalâ that I played in my previous life. But I already like Ursch-kun, who is in front of me more than Ursch-kun, who who was a sub-character of the game, so you donât have to worry.
While I was thinking about that, Ursch-kun continued to talk.
âFor the first time on that day, I appraised Isabellaâs status with [Eye of the Greed King], but at that time, there was a phenomenon that I had never experienced before in the appraisal results.â
âA phenomenon youâve never experienced?â
âYes, there was a message addressed to me on top of the appraisal results of Isabellaâs status that day.â
âHm?â
Eh, I donât get it. What did you say? Was there a message addressed to Ursch-kun on top of the status display that came out after the appraisal? How do you put a message on top of the status display? I mean, why is it addressed to Ursch-kun? Ursch-kun, did someone know you were going to appraise me that day? No, that canât be true. That shouldnât have been planned.
Wait, wait, wait. Before that, the person who left the message addressed to someone on someone elseâs status is troublesome. Itâs too much of a transcendent technique to say that someone might be a demon king, so I canât keep up with my level understanding.
âLetâs see. . . Iâm not sure, but does that mean that I was made into a carrier pigeon without knowing it? When on earth was it put there?â
Whatâs up with that? Iâm lightly angry, and Iâm scared because I donât understand the meaning.
âWhen asked when, before Isabella was reincarnated. When Isabella was still a woman of âNihonjinâ, she was also given a message along with the Seven Deadly Sin Skill.â
âHmm, ahhhhhhhhhh. What is it? Certainly, in the next life, that is, beyond the world line and time in the current world, the person who embedded skills into me in the previous life put a message together. . . ?â
Whatâs that? Iâm really scared. Itâs a message from a dangerous person who tried to create an artificial demon king, right? If such a thing is sent in an incomprehensible delivery method and by name, it will be confusing and difficult to explain.
âThatâs right. If you embed the âSeven Deadly Sins Skillâ into Isabella in that message and evolve all those skills, the âDemon Kingâ will be created. He wrote what he was thinking, and it was written that he would leave the work of evolving that skill to me. But it seems that he also had a miscalculation, it was certainly addressed to âmeâ, but it was a message to âme who is in the Magic Academyâ.â
Oh my god. . . Even though the delivery date and time arrived significantly incorrectly, the shock to a six-year-old boy who was suddenly entrusted with such a reckless work by name is immeasurable. If an ordinary six-year-old is entrusted with creating a demon king, he will be at a loss because it is too heavy. Before that, they may not understand the contents of the message at all. Because it was Ursch-kun, after understanding the content, he was able to pass it without me noticing it, and kept silent until today.
. . . . No matter how you look at it, Ursch-kun, who was six years old at the time, has too many specs.
âSo, who the hell is that crazy man? I was told that it was someone I knew, but as far as I know, I canât think of a person with such a broken performance. . .â
Ursch-kun is the one who I think is the best cheat I know, but I feel like heâs in a much different dimension than Ursch-kun. Who on earth will insert a message while interfering with the previous life of an acquaintance and embedding their skills?
â. . . Itâs me. In the other world lines, I grew up without meeting Isabella, so I did it.â
âAh! That makes sense.â
Okay, I understand. Certainly, there is no other than Ursch-kun who can do such a thing.
Yeah, yeah. While I was nodding, Ursch-kun looked at me with his head tilted.
âIsabella? Arenât you going to get angry?â
âEh? Why?â
âBecause I, in the parallel world line, tried to create a demon king by using Isabella as an experiment, right?â
âYeah, I just heard that.â
âArenât you angry with me? Donât you hate me?â
âEh? Huh? Why would I hate Ursch-kun? Ursch-kun, thatâs not what you did.â
âItâs me.â
No, itâs Ursch-kun, but itâs not Ursch-kun. How on earth should i explain this to Ursch-kun? In the first place, during the day, Ursch-kun said that he and the game Ursch-kun are different men. The remarks are contrary to what he said in the daytime. Is this that thing? The Ursch-kun in game that created amazing things is a different man from himself, and the Ursch-kun in the game that did bad things feels like heâs the same as himself, and heâs only carrying the downside?
No, cut off the downside that is something other people did!! In fact, Ursch-kun in this world didnât do anything!!
âWell, itâs not something Ursch-kun did after all. I canât find a good metaphor, but for example, if you have an identical twin brother, you obviously know that the âtwin brotherâ did something bad, and you say âmy brother and I are the same, so itâs as good as if I did it. Thatâs why I came to apologize.â Even if you apologize, it wasnât you. He did it. the brother should come and apologize, right? Do you think youâre the same if you have the same genes? Well, even if itâs a person with the same blood and looks the same, itâs a different person!!â
âBut twin brothers donât have even the same souls. Me and Ursch Schneiver are the same person in the parallel world line. . .â
âNo!! Itâs so annoying!! Then clench your teeth right now!!â
âEh?â
Iâm going to slap Ursch-kunâs cheek at my words, and Iâm going to slap him as much as I can.
The sound of âBachinâ echoed in the hanging garden illuminated by the light from the burning staff building.
Ursch-kun put his hand on the cheek that was struck by me and is still warm. And Iâm. . . I was in a cold sweat holding my heart beating at a tremendous speed.
Th, Thank goodneeeeeess!! I managed to manage it well!! With my slap, Ursch-kunâs head and body didnât wave an eternal goodbye, so Iâm really glad!!
Itâs beating inside, but Iâll leave it to the momentum and say it.
âItâs all messed up with the current slap!! To be honest, I think Ursch-kun is not bad at all, but if Ursch-kun doesnât calm down, thatâs the punishment. Yes, this case is settled!! Itâs over!!â
âEh? Eh?â
âItâs not âEh?â!! Itâs over!! Yes, is there anything else you should tell me?â
âEh. . . Oh, yeah? No, in that message, I called myself a âgreat sageâ in the parallel world.â
Oh, wait, wait!!
âYouâre the âgreat sageâ!!â
âWell, uh, I still only have the [Wise Man] skill, but. . . Thatâs, yeah.â
The moment I heard that, I tackled Ursch-kun and hugged him.
âUwah, Isabella. . . Ugh. . . !!â
âYes, secured!! Secure the âgreat sageâ!! Successfully captured alive!!â
The moment I achieved the âGreat Sage Live Capture Questâ that I thought of with Marieta, light music began to play.
I thought it was a quest achievement melody for a moment, but it seems that the dance started around the campfire.
âOkay, Ursch-kun. Letâs go dancing too. Itâs a reconciliation dance.â
Holding Ursch-kun, I drug him back to the staff building. Ursch-kun was hanging from me with his legs lifted on the way, probably because his feet hit the step when we went down the stairs.
When I laughed because it was strange, Ursch-kun was caught up and started laughing.
When the two of us joined the dance circle while laughing, we bounced and spun around with each otherâs left arms looped together. By the way, there is no dance in this world where you hold each other face to face like waltzes and tango. Maybe this is my guess, but I think itâs influenced by the muscle brain climate that thinks that it is defenseless to expose each otherâs backs to others in a situation where both arms are blocked. The result is this dance in a tavern where rough people dance with a mug in one hand. To be honest, there is no sex appeal.
But I really like the culture of saying that dancing is something to make a fuss when youâre having fun or when you need to cheer up.
I jumped around while laughing with Ursch-kun.
Itâs okay. We can do it. We still have no idea what the Demon Lord was or what the great sage was thinking, but we can live while laughing and trusting each other.
This was the last chapter of this arc. Tomorrow we will start on the âMystery of the Demon Lordâ arc. Well, now we know for sure that the âgreat sageâ is definitely Ursch. Looks like Isabella wonât be getting the answers from him that she wanted since Ursch doesnât remember his past lives (though that would be an interesting development). Hopefully we will find out some of the answers we have been waiting for in the next arc.
We are almost completely caught up with the raws, and unfortunately it hasnât been updated in a while. When the author updates, I will also translate the following chapters, but I will need another novel to work on until then and between future updates. Any pick up or translation suggestions are welcome.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
