73. When this incident is over…
When Kale heard me, he frowned and asked.
“Wait a minute, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Aren’t you a slave? “How can it disappear?”
Well, I thought such a question would come up, so I prepared in advance.
“Of course, I will tell you everything. But not now. “There is a friend who serves as the princess’s assistant with you.”
I’ll have to see Kajar and Kayle face off sometime.
‘You never know, maybe they get along well?’
I haven’t figured out exactly what kind of personality Cale has yet. I hope she gets along well with Ka-Zar.
Because these two people will have to assist France from now on.
“Is it going to go like that this time too? “You really have a knack for making people curious.”
I smiled and got up from my seat.
“Anyway. Let me introduce you to the space where you will live in the future. “Follow me.”
The place I took Cale to was the France Corporation clothing workshop.
I heard that because this building is so big, there are plenty of seats. You could just let me live here on the top floor.
‘I’ll have to build a separate company building later.’
In addition to the workshop, there should be a separate headquarters, hmm. Anyway.

“Are you telling me to live at the top of this building?”
“Yes.”
“It looks high just by looking at it, right?”
“Is there a problem?”
“It’s hard to go up the stairs.”
Well, I can barely kill myself with that.
“It’s not really a problem. If you want to go right away, activate your aura and go.”
Kale did not rise to the level of a sword master simply by learning Auror. She is clearly a person who transcends humanity.
Excluding transcendent wizards from the Fedelian Empire, if you were to pick a strong person, they would be within the top three.
But I can’t complain about just one set of stairs.
“I thought the third floor was okay. “I never thought it would be the top of this big building.”
Cale grabbed the back of her neck and closed her eyes tightly. Does she really hate climbing stairs?
“Do you hate climbing stairs so much? “If I just climb a few stairs, I can use that large space all by myself.”
I continued talking while patting Cale on the back.
“Have you seen where I live? Rather than living in that crappy room with me, wouldn’t it be better to go up the stairs and have that big place all to yourself?”
You have to persuade them well with words. Because we can’t send it to Kazar’s house.
Same stone for men and women.
We are all in a business relationship, and I knew something would happen between the two of us…….
“… I get it. “It may be a bit inconvenient, but I’ll accept it since I can use the large space to myself.”
Fortunately, it seems like I was persuaded well.
“Oh, and about employment costs. “How much will you give me?”
I whispered in Cale’s ear how much I would give.
“Is this enough?”
“… Are all noblemen that rich? “That doesn’t make sense.”
“Everyone has a lot of money, but we made a lot of money this time. “The business was a huge success.”
Cale lowered her head with a face full of loss.
“The money I’ve made so far is no more than a snot… ….”
I never thought the mercenary king, Baek Gui, would be so sullen with money.
“Anyway. This is the wealth of the empire’s nobles. “Forget the economic concepts you learned in the eastern end of the country.”
Not only does the empire have a large land area, but it also has countless resources. There is also a lot of manpower there.
And the background of this world is an aristocratic society. All the money floating around on the continent is held by nobles.
“But I can’t forget this emptiness.”
“If you live here, you will get used to it.”
I handed the check handed out by France to Cale. Cale could not easily take his eyes off the amount.
“Now, use this to go to the bank, withdraw money, and buy the things you need. “When I have work to do, I send Jeon Seo-gu.”
Cale nodded his head. He still had a dejected expression.
“Then let’s go.”
* * *
Before going to France, I first stopped by Kazar’s house. Thump thump. I knocked on the door.
“Khazar, it is me.”
Rattle. Since it opened as soon as I knocked on it, it looks like it wasn’t sleeping.
When I entered, Kazar was wearing microscope-like glasses like last time and was concentrating hard on deciphering the magic book.
I quietly walked over and sat in the seat in front of her.
“How far has the detoxification progressed?”
“Half.”
“What were we looking for?”
“There wasn’t much.”
Tak. Ka-Zar closed the ancient magic book, took off his glasses, and massaged his eyebrows.
“Whoa. But what is certain is that the magic formula shown here is similar to the magic circle engraved on you.”
Oh, then is there a possibility of eliminating this magic circle?
“So, is there some possibility?”
“Hmm, I guess I need to find out more… ….”
Ka-Zar crossed her arms and tapped her fingers on her forearms.
“Nothing is certain. “Because I haven’t deciphered everything yet.”
I see. I was a little disappointed. Ka-Jar must have seen this as well, and her comfort immediately returned.
“Don’t worry. “This magic book is on a different level from other ancient magic books, so there must be a way.”
In that case, well.
“Actually, I didn’t come here for that reason.”
“Really? “What’s going on with you, princess?”
“Okay. “To be specific, it’s a bit long.”
I told Kazar what had happened. It was about France not being able to control her emotions.
“Hmm. “It seems like it keeps flowing out unconsciously.”
I nodded. Kazar continued speaking.
“The princess has stronger emotions than others. And it’s only natural that she achieved such accomplishments in such a short period of time.”
Well, that’s true. It hasn’t even been a year yet, and I’ve mastered that much black magic.
The bowl is not only small in size but also not sturdy, but the contents are squeezed into it. It’s strange that it doesn’t leak.
“Then right now, controlling your emotions is more important than learning black magic.”
Kazar said, “Actually…….” He scratched the back of his head.
“I have already taught you all the magic I can teach you. “I showed them that they would learn this in the future, but surprisingly, they seemed to understand and absorb it in that short moment.”
For some reason, black magic continued to seep out.
“Then what should I be careful about?”
“Umm… ….”
Kazar looked at the ceiling and knocked on the table.
“I told you last time that you need to take stability. You have to be careful not to activate black magic when your emotions explode… “This is not an easy problem.”
I couldn’t help but sigh at the complexity and confusion. If left like this, an accident may occur. I never thought black magic could be this dangerous.
“Huh. “We have no choice but to eliminate all elements that threaten the princess as much as possible.”
Ka-Zar nodded her head.
“That’s right. “Please be careful until you get used to controlling your emotions.”
Then I guess I’ll have to be as careful as possible about the line. He’s probably still waiting for an opportunity.
“Is the business over now?”
“Oh, no. “There are still some left.”
Kazar urged me to quickly decipher the magic book.
“Then tell me quickly.”
“We have a new colleague.”
“A new colleague?”
“Okay. When it comes to safety, he will do everything.”
Ka-Zar tilts her head.
“Who are you? “Are you famous?”
“It’s a bit famous. White Ghost, Kale.”
Kazar’s eyes widened when he heard Cale’s name. How famous is he?
“Kale, the Guardian of the East?”
“Okay. “Do you think you’re very famous?”
“I have no choice but to be famous!”
Kazar, excited, continued speaking.
“There are many folk tales about White Ghost Kale. He cut through magic with his sword, defeated the Great Demon Beast, and rose to the top of the mercenary world through force…….”
Kazar’s boasting about kale continued. Was she a fan by any chance? ?
“There is a lot of interest… ?”
“Of course!”
I know he only operates in the easternmost part of the country, but seeing as Franze and Ka-Zar know him, I guess he isn’t called the mercenary king for nothing.
“A bard goes around singing a song about kale. “He is that famous and a great person.”
My eyebrows twitched. I’m getting jealous at this level. He seems to be more awesome than me.
“Anyway. It’s nice to be able to see in person the person you’ve only heard about. So, when can we meet?”
“Soon. I have something important to talk about, so I’m going to call you and Cale over and talk about it. “It also has to do with what happens in the future.”
Instead of simply saying that I will disappear, I should say that I will take good care of France when I disappear.
The princess is too dependent on me, so you guys need to fill the vacancy.
Please make it so that you can live well without me.
“Anyway, just know that. “I will bring you back later.”
“I understand. “Then I’ll focus on deciphering the ancient magic book.”
I nodded and immediately opened the door and came out. A cold wind greeted me.
A bitter smile appeared. I also want to be with France more. I don’t want to leave.
I fell into this world and was always with France. My principle of action was France, and my goal was her happiness.
She still regrets having to be far away from her.
“Ha… ….”
I shook my head. Nothing good comes from thinking about this a lot. Because the feeling of hesitation will hold me back at important moments.
After this, I have to leave.
Because that’s how I can live.
* * *
Tak. France closed the magic book she was reading and stretched. She looked out the window and muttered quietly.
“Why isn’t he coming?”
I told you to come right away after work. I told you to come on time. He still hasn’t shown where he’s going or what he’s doing.
“Whoa.”
The moment she sighed and was about to open a new magic book, a bump! The door was opened loudly.
“France!”
It was a line. Seeing her come in with a very angry face reminded me of the past. It was scary at the time, but now I look at it and it looks so shabby.
‘I can’t believe I was so scared of this person.’
I burst into laughter. I feel like my past self was so foolish.
“… “What are you smiling like?”
“No. “What brought you here?”
“Because I noticed the atrocities you committed.”
Atrocities? What atrocity? France tilted her head.
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”
“Ha, I’m thinking of pulling it out until the end.”
Thump. Thud. Rein stood in front of France with strong steps. She then pushed herself against the wall and looked down at France with an arrogant look on her face.
“Your business, that was created by stealing Frida’s manpower? I heard everything from Frida’s madam. “Did you think I would just get away with this even if I knew about it?!”
For an instant, France’s eyes became cold. Her tentacle-like darkness writhed in her shadow, and a coolness filled her room.
“… “What is it?”
A line that feels uncomfortable due to the sudden change in atmosphere. France grabbed Rhine’s throat with her black magic.
Quick!
“Wow… Omg!”
A pitch-black shadow, waving like a haze, is strangling my throat. The line struggled in her air. France smiled and looked down at the line.
“What are you going to do?”
France’s murderous gaze and unknown black magic struck her thunder down the spine of her line.
“W-what…” ….”
Fear and confusion rush in and she grabs the line. Looking at her trembling hands and struggling legs, France grinned, “Ahahahaha!”
“You acted so strong, but it wasn’t a big deal, right?”
Wow… ! Her magical power grew stronger, tightening Rhine’s throat even further.
“Big, big! Well, that… ….”
Sleep. The shadow that had been clutching the neck of her line loosened slightly.
“Now, tell me. “What would you do if Frida’s manpower was taken away?”
Seueuugh. The shadows created by black magic increased and turned into a model of a harpoon.
“You will have to answer well. Otherwise, I will kill you here.”
The lifelessness in France’s eyes disappeared. The eyes were so dark that they were like an abyss, and Line’s skin grew bitter.
“Well, that…” ….”
“You want me to tell you?”
“… ….”
Sleep, slurp. The shadow let go of Rhine’s neck.
“Whoa, whoa!”
Rhine grabbed his neck and let out a barrage of coughs.
“From now on, don’t come to me for such trivial matters. “Because it makes me want to kill him.”
France squatted down, grabbed Rhine’s hair with her hands, and lifted her up.
“Answer me.”
“Oh, I understand… ….”
“Speak informally?”
“Okay… ….”

Only then did he smile and let go of her hair.
“Okay, be careful from now on. Got it? Don’t ever have anything to do with me again. “If I have to move because of you, I won’t be able to go comfortably.”
At France’s goosebump-inducing smile, Line had no choice but to nod his head repeatedly.
“Then go out.”
Line gets up in a huff and runs away.
“Except for controlling my emotions, I have also become accustomed to controlling black magic. “I feel refreshed inside.”
That moment when you look at the line like that, laugh at it, and then turn your back.
“Princess… ?”
She ran into Jin standing on the window sill.
