Chapter 1949 – 1949. The Dark Moon
“Quarter Baron Mayer. Can you give me a minute? I would like to have a conversation about Ms. YuRia.”
A conversation about Yuria?
There was no way that Yuria made a mistake or had an accident. Even so, it was strange that Maria Hilton, the head of the academy, had approached me about it.
‘… Considering the relationship between me and Yuria, which is known to the outside world… I can get a sense of what the conversation might be like.’
It’s awkward. Maria Hilton is a 7th grade superhuman. She is also the head of the maid academy. Her influence on Neo London cannot be ignored. In particular, since all of the graduates of the Maid Academy are elites recognized by Neo London, her connections can be regarded as the highest level of aristocracy.
‘I can’t deny it.’
There are rumors that Maria Hilton is one of the best personalities in Neo London, but I don’t believe in rumors blindly.
“It’s an honor to talk with Mr. Hilton. But what about here?”
“The academy also has a reception room for guests. Go there I will guide you.”
Maria led the way. The way she walked with her back straight was like steel.
‘Hmm…’
Not long ago, as I reached the 6th grade, my senses became even sharper. However, even with this sharpened sense, Maria Hilton could not find any gaps.
‘I have no idea how to fight. I don’t think he’s a wizard…’
There was too little information about Maria Hilton.
‘No. She is not against me She doesn’t have to think about fighting.’
I remind her once again that what she wants is a conversation.
Arrived at the reception room.
It was a luxurious yet antique reception room. It wouldn’t be strange if it was an aristocratic reception room.
“Are you okay with black tea?”
“Among teas, I like black tea the most.”
“You have the same taste as me.”
Slowly and leisurely brew black tea in a teapot. For some reason, the image of YuRia came to mind.
Soon she held out a teacup. She thanked him and took a sip of her tea. It tasted comparable to the black tea that Yuria brewed.
“You are not surprised when you drink black tea. You seem familiar with black tea.”
“… Should I be surprised to drink black tea?”
“I am usually surprised. People say that my black tea is much better than our black tea.”
“It tastes great. I’m picky about my palate, especially black tea, but this black tea is flawless.”
“Is it because of Ms. Yuria that your appetite has become picky?”
“… No. From the beginning, I was picky about my taste buds. Is there a reason you say that?”
“Miss YuRia’s cooking and tea ceremony skills have already surpassed the instructors. It seemed like it would be hard for even me to follow Miss YuRia’s skills.”
“…”
I don’t think Maria Hilton would admit it. Yuria’s skills seemed to be superior to what I thought.
“How did you meet Miss YuRia? I investigated separately, but it doesn’t seem like a deep relationship.”
“It looks like you’ve already finished your investigation, so do you need to hear it from me?”
The investigation is already over.
It was predictable. Because she wouldn’t have approached me without any data on her level.
“It is because I do not understand. Miss Yuria is outstanding. She maintained good grades even during her knight training school. However, I suddenly gave up on a future that could be said to be solid and became your maid.”
“Me and Yuria met by chance.”
“Maybe. I’ll ask another question. Are you threatening Miss Yuria?”
“… Yes?”
I had no choice but to ask a question that was so out of the blue. Is she her own joke?
“Considering common sense, Ms. Yuria is not a talented person below you. Ms. Yuria can be treated wherever she goes. Ms. Yuria herself probably knows that too. That’s why she insists on being your maid. Shouldn’t she have some other reason?”
Couldn’t resist ‘Cause I’ve had that question sometimes too. She was already able to get a job in another good place just with Yuria’s skills. If she thinks of her career, she has no reason to work under me at all.
‘I was suspicious at first. Strangely enough, he knew me well for the first time I met him. It felt like he knew me better than I did.’
YuRia’s cooking was perfect for my taste, and she perfectly grasped my taste even that I didn’t know.
It was not common sense.
And there is one conclusion that makes sense of that nonsense.
“The reason is simple.”
“Hoo. I really want to hear why.”
“Yuria loves me. That’s why. She probably fell in love at first sight when she saw me.”
“…”
Maria looks at me dumbfounded.
I meant it from the bottom of my heart. If it wasn’t for her love for me, Yuria’s actions would make no sense. She openly seduced me because she fell in love with a man like me at first sight. So why did she fall in love at first sight?
‘Love is not understanding. You feel it.’
So it’s not love
I took another sip of black tea with a faint look. A man like me…
“… All right. Let’s get to the point. Could you please cancel the sponsorship contract with Miss YuRia? I will bear the damage. As a bonus, I will reward you with 1 billion credits.”
“Are sponsorship deals bothering you? The sponsorship contract with Yuria is not particularly special. Of course, it is not an unfair contract.”
“… I’ll be honest. I want Miss Yuria to work for the royal family. The royal family also wants Miss Yuria. Considering her future and her career, overall, Miss Yuria should work for the royal family.”
Royal household.
As YuRia said, they are trying to recruit from the royal family.
“A sponsorship contract can be broken at any time. It’s not even an important contract.”
“… Isn’t that an important contract?”
“Do you really believe that Yuria swore allegiance to me with that contract? I have never threatened Yuria. She never forced me to work under me.”
“…”
“Ah, did you confirm Yuria’s intentions? If the contract is terminated, Yuria might voluntarily leave the maid academy.”
“… Miss Yuria couldn’t make such a foolish choice. Now she is doing better than anyone else at Maid Academy.”
“Do you really think so?”
Maria let out a small sigh.
“… Could you convince Miss Yuria to work for her royal court? I will definitely do this in return.”
“I don’t like it.”
I leaned back on her backrest and looked at her with her childish gaze of slight contempt.
“Yuria’s future is not for me or you to choose. Yuria herself has to choose. You have to convince Yuria, not me. She didn’t have the confidence to convince her, so she must be talking to me like this. Today I am disappointed in Maria.”
“… Ha. You can’t justify it. Yes. You are right. Prior to persuading you, it is the correct order to persuade Miss Yuria. However, I decided that I could convince Miss Yuria only if I persuaded you. Miss Yuria is serving you wholeheartedly.”
“The stories we talked about today cannot proceed without mentioning Yuria, the person in charge. I will just get up.”
“… If you forcefully push Yuria… How do you think Miss Yuria will come out?”
“I will quit. You don’t have to graduate from the maid academy to become a maid.”
“Finally. Do you really have no intention of helping to persuade Miss YuRia?”
“After. It would have been if it was really for Yuria… The relationship between me and Yuria is much closer than you think.”
I uploaded a picture from the watch. Maria’s eyes widen when she sees the picture.
It was a picture of Yuria in my arms on the bed. Even with her naked body. As you can see by the sweaty face of her, it was after the rebellion.
“My relationship with Yuria is like this.”
“…”
“Then, good night.”
“Yes. Thank you for today. And sorry for being rude.”
Come out of the reception room and go out of the academy under the guidance of the instructor. Her hands trembled a little.
‘The rumor that Maria Hilton is a person is true.’
She never faltered while talking to me. Even though my tone was somewhat rude, I maintained my composure until the end.
Her personality like her was very rare in a world like this.

[End of play.]
Dump!
Lying on the sofa, I frowned.
Memories and experiences in the Dark Moon. Especially the experience of magic.
‘Fuck. I know, but I don’t know a thing.’
Magical knowledge is in my head. But I can’t use it Even if I tried to calculate the formula, it was blocked from the start.
‘It’s the same feeling as when reading a math book.’
Calculate the formula and use telekinesis magic? It was faster, surer and more comfortable to move my body than that.
‘The magic of the Dark Moon world and the magic of reality are completely different. Because there is no concept of astral in reality.’
In terms of novels, the worldview was different. Of course, it’s not like there’s no way.
For example, using [Hyunsin].
‘However, since the condition that the incarnation must be in the ending world is attached, I can’t become myself in the Dark Moon world right away.’
After thinking about it, I brushed off my lingering attachment to magic.
He had lived well without magic until now, so it didn’t matter if he couldn’t use magic.
‘There’s a game life app, but its magic is amazing.’
In that sense, I checked the points by running the game life app.
