After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

But this is all false.

There is no turbulence where it should be, which means there are undercurrents beneath the surface and someone is preparing to make a big move.

Before the real storm comes, take care of other things first.

While thinking this, the broth in his hand was cooked. Aize tasted it and after confirming that it was ok, he scooped a bowl for each of them.

"Thank you, big brother~"

Anna took it politely and blew away the hot air, just like she did when she drank tea before. It seemed that she was really afraid of heat.

Villian looked unhappy:

"I should just do it~"

"Please spare me. I don't want to cause any trouble in this remote place."

If Villian were to make it, not to mention the taste, if she came up with some new kind of slime or something weird, Anna's young mind might not be able to handle it.

Villian took a sip of her soup and complained with a subtle expression:

“No cilantro.”

“…Next time.”

After serving himself a bowl, Aize took a big sip and then looked at Anna.

"How far is it from here to the village?"

"Hu-hu-"

The black-haired girl was still blowing hot air, and only raised her head after being asked and said:

"It's still half a day's journey. If we leave tomorrow morning, we'll probably arrive before lunch."

"It's so far, isn't it inconvenient?"

Anna gave a wry smile:

"For us, it's more convenient to stay farther away."

"Uh……"

The lives of these mixed-bloods might be even harder than you imagine, so it’s better not to ask too much.

The simple dinner ended quickly. They had to set off early the next morning, so Anna crawled into the sleeping bag prepared for her and fell asleep early by the campfire.

And Aize was leaning against a tree stump and looking up at the sky.

The night sky of this world is not much different from that of my hometown. There is no such thing as a double moon, but the layout of the stars is still very different.

He did not understand astronomy and could not use the constellations to determine the position of the world.

But I still can't help but be curious about what kind of existence this land...this planet is compared to my hometown.

And what exactly is the so-called time travel?

Villian came over, smiled gently, and then lay down on his thighs without saying a word.

Aize was stunned:

"What are you doing?"

"Look at the stars."

"Is it necessary to lie on me to see the stars?"

"It's clearer this way~"

Aize wanted to say something, but then he felt that it didn't matter, so he gave up.

silence.

Only the faint sound of wind and the occasional crackling of the campfire could be heard.

After a while, Villian spoke first:

"Are you homesick?"

"I didn't... No, sort of."

In the past, when I was still in the brave team, I just wanted to finish the mission quickly and go back.

But now, when I come to my senses and think about my past life, my memory seems to be covered by a layer of fog. I miss it, but it is vague.

After all, I have been dead for several years in the previous world. Even if I really go back, what will happen?

Maybe there is no place for you at all.

Villian thought for a moment and asked:

"What was your previous world like?"

"Hmm? Why do you ask that?"

"I want to know how you grew up. If possible, I'd like to visit you in person and say hello to your family."

Is this some kind of live-in daughter-in-law?

However, compared to what happened in the team in the past two years, there is at least no disgust in talking about the past, and it is nice to chat about it now when I have nothing to do.

Aize sighed softly.

"...But where do I even begin? There's so much to say, it feels like it would take days and nights to finish."

Villian thought about it, smiled lightly, turned over, faced Aize, reached out her hand and gently stroked his chest.

"Tell me about your childhood. For example... did you ever lift up the neighbor's sister's pants, or lead the neighborhood kids in a fight?"

Aize frowned:

"What do you take me for?"

"Great man, isn't it normal to have had some experiences like this in childhood?"

"Big shot..."

Aize smiled bitterly.

"No, before I came to this world, I was actually very ordinary."

"……real?"

"Why would I lie to you? I'm just an ordinary student."

After thinking for a while, Aize sighed softly and began to talk about the past.

From the basic overview, to her family situation, to her school experiences, favorite games and animations - a lot of effort was put into explaining these concepts to make her understand.

What he said was fragmentary, casual, and disorganized. He just said whatever came to his mind.

But Villian listened very carefully and hardly interrupted except to ask about concepts she didn't understand.

When it was over, she smiled softly and said:

"Haha, why does it sound so harmless? It's completely different from what it is now."

"The devil knows."

I was a total otaku in my hometown, but after coming here, it was as if I had awakened some potential and instantly became proficient in military and politics.

To Aize at the time, it seemed very simple for him to absorb experience from the history and military anecdotes he knew and apply it to his own benefit.

But thinking about it afterwards, I think this is a bit outrageous.

How could I, who was only good at talking on paper, play such a big role?

Incomprehensible.

"Hu-hu-"

"Um?"

When he came to his senses after thinking about the problem, Villian, who was lying on him, had closed her eyes.

This made Aize sigh.

"Hey, if you fall asleep like this, you'll fall asleep... Never mind."

The hand that was about to wake her up stopped at nothing. He reached to the side, picked up the sleeping bag, unbuttoned the side, and covered her with it as a blanket.

And Aize himself closed his eyes after looking up at the starry sky again.

Chapter 65 Target: Brave Aize

Roderick sat alone in the dim room, feeling very irritable.

Last night, his team of adventurers who specialized in doing dirty work disappeared the moment they started their operation, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth, and there was no news of them since.

According to common sense, they should have failed or died, and he would have to take the blame for that bastard princess.

But the result?

I waited all day today, but I was not arrested for kidnapping a noble.

This made Roderick seriously consider another possibility, that his subordinates were not captured or killed, but simply escaped.

This possibility is very small, but it is definitely good news for Roderick now.

There is also bad news.

His eyes moved to the pile of papers on the table.

That was the result of a review commissioned in the past, sent by the local lord, Sean Edgar.

The part about the commissioned fraud alone is enough to get me killed.

And this is only a small part of it. More content is still being reviewed by the scholar named Ain.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Heidi promised to save him on the condition that he alone took the responsibility for kidnapping the nobles.

Now that the charge is gone, will she still save herself?

With such suspicion, Roderick went to look for Heidi several times in the afternoon, but she was not in the room.

——Of course not, because Heidi was sent away by Aize to chase Leah.

Roderick, who was unaware of this, naturally thought he was being betrayed and was becoming more and more panicked.

He became more and more depressed, and stood up and overturned everything visible on the table.

Amidst the clatter of objects hitting the ground and the rustling of papers flying around, he couldn't hold it in any longer and started cursing:

"Damn the royal family, damn the lords, none of them are good! The little money I made is nothing compared to these people! Why should I lose my head for this?"

Coming from a low-income family, he had always envied the luxurious life of these people since he was a child.

I climbed to my current position by risking my life and doing all kinds of shameless flattery, but now I’m about to die before I can even enjoy it?

How is this acceptable?

"Tsk, no, that scholar, that scholar called Ain, must be killed! As long as he is killed——"

It was because I believed what that damn princess said that I ended up in such a mess.

Otherwise, I would have just made that little bastard disappear from the face of the earth and burned all the evidence, and then nothing would have happened.

You can still continue to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks.

However, the adventurers of the Tafia Guild who specialize in doing the dirty work have already donated. What should we do?

Already a little hysterical, he rushed to the table, opened the drawer, took out paper and pen, and began to write a letter.

"Just wait until I get the top adventurers here and send you all to the sky!!"

Ain must die, the one called Vivian must die, and that princess must die too!

As long as you do it beautifully, no one will be able to tell!

Just like before!
