Episode 3

After all that commotion, I escaped the Neftis Townhouse entirely, took Nanny as my Mother, and when I could no longer live as Evan Neftis, Mother gave me an Imperial citizen registration card and a mana stone in chip form. She drove a stapler-like device straight into my arm without warning, and I was about to throw a fit—but there was something I needed to check first.
Let me see. When I tap my left hand, Evan Neftis’s status window appears, and when I tap my right hand…

Evan Laef
Status: Limited Lifespan, Ursula’s Blessing
Experience: 0
N) Taming Lv.8 – 800 EXP until next level
N) Horsemanship Lv.8 – 800 EXP until next level
L) Sleight of Hand
EX) Will Do Anything to Survive

Setting aside how impressive the skill lineup was, the fact that I shared the same name as Evan Neftis left me with no choice but to suspect Mother.
“Mother, you know… could it be that you named me after your dead child as a replacement?”
“Oh, no! It really was a coincidence! I was shocked when I found out the child I was going to care for was named Evan! I swear to the heavens I never intended to use you as a substitute for my dead child!”
Her passionate denial made it seem plausible after all. I felt a bit frightened by Mother’s intensity, but I decided to treat this as an opportunity and gratefully accepted the name Evan Laef that she had given me.

Episode 5

I came to live in Ilam, Mother’s hometown, and found myself venturing out frequently to the edges of the Serpent King’s Tower to mine mana stones. Since it was near where the Serpent King lived, tigers, giant serpents, and creatures resembling magical beasts would occasionally appear, but strangely, I felt no fear. Was it because of the Beast’s Charisma skill?
In any case, while wandering around, I encountered a lizard demi-human with the peculiar hobby of feeding tigers, and oddly enough, his manner of speech resembled the Serpent King’s.
I suspected he might be a friend or relative of the Serpent King, but later I discovered that the lizard demi-human Gerth was actually the Serpent King, and the white fox demi-human Hubert I knew was the Serpent King’s regent and Gerth’s son. Incredible.

Episode 20

To resolve my limited lifespan, I obtained magical skills, diligently saved money, and enrolled in the Academy. There was a minor incident where I ended up sharing a room with Reina Letem, but it was truly trivial and not worth worrying about.
More importantly, Reina Letem might be a namesake. The girl sharing my room was not the Reina Letem I knew. After all, they say the world contains three people who look identical. Perhaps this girl merely resembled the Reina Letem I knew and happened to share the same given name and surname. Impossible things don’t exist in this world. There’s Evan Laef and Evan Neftis, isn’t there? In any case, that’s how it was. She was not the Reina I knew. A separate existence entirely.
I attended school diligently and tried to gradually obtain plot-change points. In the original story, I witnessed the person who drove Professor Ha to suicide stalking him. I thought if I could gently persuade her to back off, the plot might change, so I advised her not to do things people dislike. But the purple-haired bob-cut girl kept pulling her long bangs forward to cover her face.
Wondering what she was hiding, I examined her carefully and discovered a long scar running from her forehead down to her nose. For some people, a scar on the face can become a complex.
“Are you ashamed of that scar?”
“Th, that is, why—”
“You keep trying to hide it, so I wondered if it was a scar born from shame.”
“Ah, no! This was, I, I got it protecting my younger sibling!”
Then there’s nothing to hide at all. It could even be called a badge of honor. I brushed back the girl’s bangs and smiled at her.
“If it’s a scar earned protecting someone, you should be proud of it.”
“Eh, u, uh?”
“And if you keep your vision blocked like that, you’ll have an accident.”
“Uh, uh, uh, uh….”
When I looked directly into the girl’s eyes, her face flushed crimson, and she immediately backed away and fled. To think she could walk backward so quickly—she possessed quite the ability.

#Episode 21

Seian’s bookmark tastes delicious. Nom nom.

#Episode 39

I made many friends. I even joined the club that Princess Sera created. It was purely because of my limited lifespan, but I joined of my own volition regardless. After clearing Dr. Bruno’s underground dungeon, I had to burn the red book, but I hesitated because I couldn’t tell Sera that I could only receive a plot-change point if she didn’t read it.
Reina found me suspicious, skimmed through the book, then let out a shriek and whispered something to Eugene. Eugene then shrieked as well, burned the book, and buried it in the ground.
“Evan Laef. You are a model for the nobility.”
“I am not nobility. More importantly, what did Reina say?”
When I asked, Eugene leaned in close and whispered to me. Apparently, Reina had murmured to Eugene that “all power derives from the people.”
To have a fit upon hearing such words—truly befitting a great noble.

#Episode 41

Today I cleaned at Seian’s place. While organizing the closet, I discovered some worn cotton underwear and decided to buy silk ones next time to replace them.
I didn’t stuff the underwear into my pocket or take it as a collection. That’s something a pervert would do. I wasn’t a pervert.

#166

So much had happened. I became the Ice Heart of Dekarucha, conquered Brandenburg Northern Cone, Sera insisted on “listen to my song!”, and I made peace with the Dragon.
After that, I visited the Underworld, became a Demon, destroyed Sky Island—there was truly so much that it was difficult even to speak of it all.
There were many shocking events, but the most shocking was when a status notification appeared saying that a concealment had been exposed.
What on earth was concealment? At least I didn’t have a skill called concealment among my abilities.

#181

A second concealment was exposed. What exactly was concealment? Even as the situation spiraled rapidly—Cecilia’s brainwashing, my head cracking, forming a new alliance—I couldn’t stop thinking about concealment. Moreover, Seian, who looked pale enough to vomit at any moment, approached me with a strange expression and said something odd.
“Evan Neftis? You’re not… that, are you?”
“What do you mean?”
“No, I mean… I’m not really sure… blegh.”
He must have gone to throw up.
Seian fled from the Banquet Hall as if escaping. I had to face the Nobility alongside Cecilia.

#262

Concealment again. What exactly was concealment that I kept stumbling over it like a stone in the path? Moreover, my memories and experiences from this point were hazy. I didn’t have a concealment skill, so why did Mother Goddess ask me to use it? Did I use the skill? Or didn’t I? I couldn’t even recall that clearly.
However, this one thing that Ursula said remained crystal clear in my memory.
“Even all those coincidences are part of the calculation.”
I parted ways with Mother Goddess and returned to the future.
I parted ways with the Mother Goddess and returned to the future.
