Albion’s Pastoral (11) “…Do you remember me from a previous life? It’s a past I myself do not know.” “If knowing something only after the fact still counts as knowing. If Sir Kishion had not rendered some small help to your previous life, then Gideon Asher at that time would hardly have thought to fund the beleaguered Kishion command.” The “memory” of the ‘Promise’ quickly rewound. When the Kishion territory battle broke out in the eighth world, the anonymous donor who…

The large bathhouse in the basement of the lodging building, located at the base of the castle, was connected to a hot spring. The children, freshly washed in the steaming water, gathered in the lounge connected to the dining room on the first floor of the lodging. The furniture in the lounge was all carved from rough, raw wood, but with the fireplace blazing, the atmosphere was cozy. Chel, dressed in a clean shirt and pants, sniffed alternately at both shoulders and asked, “Do I still…

For an Impermanent Peace (2) “The scales have not tipped to one side yet. On one side is the ‘purpose and hope’ his companions have placed in him, and on the other is the life of the ‘prophetic magician.’ Arthur has a kind and upright nature, the sort to know that choosing either side would be a betrayal.” Melchior silently approached Cleio, who was still gripping the window frame. Cleio turned his head. The crown prince’s profile and the cityscape entered his field of vision…

The Queen's Garden (2) ‘Wow, this is amazing!’ ‘Haegupseong’s Slash’ was a shared skill given to a swordsman who breaks through a siege by cutting a path with their sword. It was a technique symbolizing indomitable courage. It was a skill bestowed on those who never gave up and fought on even in desperate situations, a technique that symbolized indomitable courage. ‘A protagonist is a protagonist. There’s no need to explain—he snatches up whatever he needs, even if his ether…

The Battlefield on the Tablecloth (1) The first week of December, when the holidays began at the Capital Defense Corps School. A three-quarter time dance tune with a flat timbre was flowing through the drawing room of the Asser mansion. The sound quality of the gramophone was still not very good, and the playing time was very short. Of course, for Cleio's pathetic dancing skills, that level of music was enough. "Lift your heels, your heels! No! What are you doing relying on me instead of…

Media! Media! Media! (2) Melchior did not care about Cleio's lack of response. “Albion’s literacy rate is the highest on the Dernier continent. 92% of citizens can read, you see. The influence of print media has become stronger than ever, and the rotary press now wields power as great as magic.” It was impossible to follow the conversation. Both “Perception” and “Separation” had their limits. Cleio simply tried not to faint or fall asleep. “Have you ever heard of something…

When he thought about land and buildings, Clayio felt pleased even in his sleep, and he felt full without eating. While Clayio was daydreaming about a rosy future, Dione slapped his back hard. “What are you staring at so absentmindedly? Here! Take this.” Dione, completely serious about her business, handed Clayio a heavy paper bag with sparkling eyes. Even out of courtesy, he couldn’t help but ask a few questions. “Is this book… really that moving?” “In the icy land of…

Wizards (2) He sensed someone running out of the lecture hall a step too late. The appearance of those who attacked the school in the middle of the capital in broad daylight was… “Huff, huff, Ezra, you bastard! I told you not to add the formula!” “It’s true~ Got some real experimental results~ It’s a success~ Don’t be mad, Dalia~.” “Aaaaagh! When Professor Zebedi comes back, he’ll try to kill us! He told us to reinforce the outer barrier, not break it!” “Hey, what…

A strange chill ran down his spine. Even with the summer garden cape on, his hands and feet turned cold. But Dione was applauding the singer's passionate performance. Ishiel, only pretending to clap, diligently scanned the audience. The theater was in a frenzy of excitement. Afraid he’d attract unwanted attention by standing out, Cleio awkwardly mimicked applause as he thought. ‘The assassins who attacked Arthur from the east last summer had red eyes, too. Even then, the level reading…

The Steadfast Gardener (2) Melchior’s hands were covered with gardening gloves stained with soil. ‘Wow, what is this sense of incongruity…’ Melchior, after returning the pruning shears to the tool box, gestured toward a humble wooden bench by the pond. “Sit. This is just the right time.” When he sat down, Kleio could see the roses, with most of their leaves fallen. Up close, the leaves were insect-eaten, the vines yellow and withered, and the flowers were limp. On the outdoor…

The Place of Friendship (1) Kleio was dragged into endless sleep. It felt as if his mind had overloaded from taking in too much information he couldn’t understand all at once. As night and day alternated without order, 'Jeongjin' saw his mother in a dream. She warned him to dress warmly because it would rain, just as she had in the previous world. His mother was especially good at predicting the weather. There was no need for forecasts. The fishing village people liked her, but kept a…

The Aser Family's Dinner (1) The source of the irritating sound was revealed. The sword had broken inside its scabbard. The practice sword could not withstand the load of ether. Blood was dried onto the scabbard and hilt, as well as the cuffs and collar of the dress uniform. The stains were so dark, Cleio was surprised he hadn’t noticed immediately. read that Arthur was tired and worn out. His breath was irregular, and there was no strength in the back leaning against the chair. “Hey.…

The Tristain Knight Order (2) The Tristain duke’s manor was a fortress built atop a mountain cliff. The base and walls of the castle were carved directly out of solid rock. Turrets stood at each corner of the walls, and above them rose spires and watchtowers. Among them, the main keep’s tower, towering as if looking down from above, was particularly imposing. ‘Truly, a natural fortress. They say it held off a horde of monsters a thousand years ago… It’s no wonder such legends exist. To…

Field Trip (2) As soon as the banquet ended, Cleio hurried back to his room. Fran was already fast asleep under the covers. Cleio, too, lay down on his bed early in the evening. He felt at a loss as to how he could persuade Fran the next day to devise the Tiflaum activation formula and catalyst. His mind spun with all the information he’d learned about mana stones and Tiflaum in class since coming here. Mana stones and Tiflaum shared the trait of being able to retain ether even outside…

‘The function of the bound item was always amazing, but now that the narrative intervention is rising, it’s even more wondrous.’ Cleio felt both pleased and strangely resentful. Like most Koreans, he had suffered because of English all his life as “Kim Jeongjin.” ‘In college, I thought my eyes would fall out reading papers, and at work, reviewing original texts… How can this be.’ Engulfed in a sense of futility, Cleio stroked his left index finger, which rested on the table,…

After Hardship Comes Settlement (1) Splash, splash. It was the hot bath he had so desperately wished for inside the dungeon. It took a week for his body to recover enough to bathe, but in the end, as long as you get to Seoul, the route doesn’t matter. “Ah, this feels so good….” Cleio, sitting in the tub, poured fresh water over Behemoth’s back as the cat pawed at the water in front. Behemoth was in many ways not a typical cat, but it was stranger that he liked bathing more than…

1891 (2) When Kleio returned to the Asser mansion, completely exhausted, it was already late into the dawn, the sky beginning to brighten. ‘Wow, seriously. There were a lot of old folks there, but everyone’s stamina is insane. They’re not even college freshmen who just turned twenty, but if this was Seoul, they’d have drunk and danced until the first subway. Is that upper-class swag? I must have peasants for ancestors. I couldn’t do that even if I was told to.’ Kleio, shedding his…

Wizards (1) “That’s enough, Leogunan. Get up.” Fran’s tone had softened considerably. While the two achieved a grand compromise of emotion, Cleio quickly worked his mind. ‘Dione’s words were true.’ Dione, who got along with all the weavers, was also well-informed about the news of working commoners. She had said that since the failed assassination of Melchior, the ‘Flag of the People’ had almost collapsed, but instead, as Robert originally intended, it was transforming…

Episode 164 It was Amur, who had grown up in the Empire’s roughest lands. He quickly recovered and stood up. “I showed such an embarrassing side… To be startled by a horse’s name.” Amur spoke as he brushed off the dust and straw from his clothes. Come to think of it, even if it was Einrogard, there was no way they had obtained a griffon. It was probably just that the horse’s name was Griffin. It was quite common to name horses after fearsome monsters… “No. It’s a real…-
