CH 98

At night, I crawled into bed and picked up the necklace magic tool that Ursch-kun gave me. When I put magic into the thumb-sized crystal attacked to the necklace, the light blue ivy spread in the crystal and illuminated the sheets brightly.

“Call. Ursch”

When I called out, the light blue ivy shining in the crystal turned into an orange light and began to blink. I waited for a response while looking at the flashing light. After a while, as soon as the flashing orange light returned to light blue, Ursch-kun’s voice echoed from the crystal.

“Yes. This is Ursch. The communication was slow, but did something happen?”

“Yeah. Marieta came to visit my dorm. I was talking to her until the curfew of the mother-child dormitory, at this time.”

“Marieta-ojou was there, right? For what?”

“It seems that she came to celebrate our reunion, report recent events, and to warn me about the people and events to be aware of at the academy from now on. Among them, there were people and events that I knew about from the contents of the game, but there were a lot of other things to be aware of, so I’m glad that kind of information was helpful. However, I didn’t have time and could only learn it like a simple bullet point, so I will be told in detail at the academy at a later date.”

“I see. By the way, did you match the answer to ‘Replacement Child Changeling and Villainess’?”

“Unfortunately, it was carried over to the academy at a later date. Because there was Anne, who was involved in the same room. Anne was trained in the dark guild, so she has good hearing and can read lips, so even if she was in the corner of the room, she couldn’t speak with peace of mind.”

“Well, if she knew who she was, it might be natural to be wary.”

Marieta doesn’t seem to intend to be known by many people that she was looping, and after looking sideways at Anne, she whispered, “At the academy.”

Anne admits that she was the key to the ‘replacement’ operation of the Dark Guild, so I asked her if she didn’t mind if she was there, but if you think about it, if you don’t know the premise that Marieta was looping, you’ll feel suspicious if Marieta, who is not involved, talks about the circumstances around there and the events that may have happened.

In addition to that, Marieta seemed to be wary of the ‘great sage who will lead to the collapse of the world.’ If the great sage knows Marieta’s loop, he may be able to keep an eye on her as an obstacle. Not only can he keep an eye on her, but there is a possibility that her life will be threatened.

For the time being, during today’s conversation, immediately after I got a warning from Marieta, I told my fiancé, who knew I was a reincarnation, that I consulted with the content of the story I heard from Marieta and agreed. But from now on, I promised to keep it a secret from others.

“Well, that would be good. Even if you don’t include the great sage, even if you tell others, they won’t believe it, and if they do believe it, some people may ask for future information and try to use it.”

“Marieta says that the future has already changed a lot.”

First of all, it seems that the person and partner who was supposed to be engaged at the start of the academy has changed a lot because the second prince Chris-sama’s fiancée became Alice-chan, not me. It seems that this was slightly different every time there was a loop, but it didn’t seem to be as big this time.

I don’t know why it happened, but Chris-sama’s curse being lifted and his fiancée becoming Alice-chan may have affected factional circumstances.

By the way, Alice-chan is the next generation member of the adventurer party ‘Persona Knights’ led by the queen on behalf of Alice-chan’s mother.

“Come to think of it, I heard from Marieta that if you become an adventurer, you will not be a citizen, but will that happen to Alice-chan and the queen?”

“Even adventurers can make a big contribution to the country, they may be given peerage and taken in by the country.”

“Is there such a thing?”

“That’s what happens. So, if you have a national position or title, you will be recognized as a citizen even though you are an adventurer. That’s why responsibility as a citizen arises. Most high-ranking adventurers don’t like the responsibility, and even if the country says they’ll give them peerage, they refuse. Basically, adventurers are a group of free people. And the queen and Alice-sama are originally nobles, so they have a national position. That’s why they’re still citizens unless they leave their aristocratic family and become commoners.”

It’s complicated. I’m not good at understanding such legal details. Somehow, even if you register as an adventurer, you should understand that you will remain a citizen as an aristocrat in your own country.

“It’s difficult.”

“People who engage in intelligence and nobles in charge of diplomacy are mostly registered as adventurers. If you have an adventurer card, it will be easier to go back and forth between countries. When the situation in the country you visited as a diplomatic destination gets worse and you can’t leave the country, you may secretly escape from the country as an adventurer, not a diplomat.”

By the way, it seems that only the cards of the adventurer guild can do that. Guilds other than the adventurer guilds are registered as citizens, so they cannot be used across countries.

“I don’t think adventurer cards are supposed to be used that way.”

“You should use whatever you can use. When we peddle, it’s better to register in the adventurer guild and the commercial guild. Because there will be a wide range of things that can be handled by sales. There are also alchemy guilds and pharmacist guilds, but when you enter the alchemy department, both guilds will be registered, so I think you will be given a guild member’s card on the first day when the alchemy class starts.”

“Does that mean the rank goes up depending on the grades of the class?”

“Up to the D class. When you go up to the C class, there is a promotion exam at the guild.”

Is it like, ‘I can get a qualification while I’m in a technical high school’? Let’s do our best to clear the class assignments and raise them both to at least D before graduation.

“By the way, Ursch-kun, do you have cards from the alchemy guild?”

“I have it. If you don’t have it, you can’t commercialize or sell what you made with alchemy.”

“By the way, the rank is. . .”

“The alchemy guild and the commercial guild are S class, and the pharmacist guild is C.”

Ursch-kun was a cheat after all. I don’t think there’s anything to learn in the alchemy department.

“Why are you in such a high rank?”

“Hmm. By creating a status ring and a subspace pouch, I became S class in the alchemy guild, and I became S class in the commercial guild for sales. I gave it to the pharmacist guild diligently, because if you have this, the medical herbs and materials that can be handled will expand.”

Ursch-kun made it so easily that I wasn’t aware of it at all, but it’s true that those two products are at a level that changes history. Why are local cheat characters so separated from humans? Actually, it’s still more convincing to be told that I’m a reincarnation and I’ve received some cheats from the goddess. I feel like Ursch-kun will be able to get closer to what Marieta calls the ‘great sage’.

Ursch wasn’t surprised at all about Marieta being in the mother-child dorm. I think he has been keeping tabs on her. By the way, anyone else thinking that Ursch was probably the great sage in Marieta’s past life? Who else has the insane natural cheat ability that would be able to create a game in Isabella’s original world to find someone who is compatible to make them a demon king or to cause the world to collapse? I just can’t see it being anyone other than Ursch.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
