Chapter 84

* * *

Thanks to the Count and the Mage Lord cleaning up, the cave was spotless without a trace.

The people who were to become sacrifices were also safely released.

Hazel also seemed to be adapting well at the orphanage. It was fortunate in many ways.

Once the situation was somewhat settled, I took a carriage and headed to the Marquis’ Mansion.

Since returning from the Holy Kingdom, I felt like I hadn’t paid enough attention to Louis Sauver due to Kaisis’s injury and Hazel’s situation.

Inside the carriage, I opened the gauge showing how much remained until the world’s destruction.

[85% until World Destruction]

Even though there had been conflict with the Black Magic Followers while rescuing Hazel, fortunately the gauge hadn’t risen.

I didn’t know if it didn’t rise because it was related to Kaisis, or because it was something that didn’t affect the original story, but it was fortunate either way.

“Still, the gauge is too high…”

If it rose just 15% more, it would be the world’s destruction. It was enough to drive me crazy.

Moreover, Louis Sauver said that no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to like Shamal, and Shamal was suspicious of Louis Sauver’s identity.

In this situation, I was worried about how to bring Shamal and Louis Sauver together.

When I arrived at the Marquis’ Mansion, I grabbed Kaisis’s hand and got out of the carriage.

I was guided by a maid and went up to Louis Sauver’s room.

Louis Sauver was reading something intently.

“Louis Sauver, what are you doing?”

“Oh, Rene. You’re here. Look at this. I found this while searching through the room.”

Louis Sauver said that while handing me a notebook.

“What is this?”

“It’s the ‘real’ Beatrice’s diary.”

There was such a thing?

I took the diary and quickly skimmed through it. But Louis Sauver’s expression was dark.

“But there’s no real gain from it. There’s nothing related to black magic, just pure stuff like ‘this man did this today, that man did that today.'”

Then did the ‘real’ Beatrice have no direct connection to the Black Mage?

Was it all just that she became violent from wearing the necklace containing Pimpis flower powder from the Crown Prince?

“Who could the Black Mage be…”

“Right. For now, it seems we need to stop the spread of Masu Transformation first, so I put up some posters…”

“Posters? What posters?”

Just then, Kaisis had one of the posters, so I handed it to Louis Sauver.

“It seems like Pimpis flowers are connected to Masu Transformation, so I put up posters saying to burn them on sight. I also asked people to contact us if anyone has progressed Masu Transformation.”

“Good idea.”

Louis Sauver glanced over the poster once and then handed it back to me.

“By the way, how should we approach conquering Shamal?”

When I groaned and talked about it, Louis Sauver also became serious. Kaisis also fell into thought following us.

We sat around and thought about how we could conquer Shamal. But an answer didn’t come easily.

“In my previous life, I was pretty popular with women.”

“You were, Louis Sauver?”

“Even though I was a gangster, I was pretty handsome, you know.”

“Oh.”

When I looked at Louis Sauver with surprised eyes, Louis Sauver lifted his head proudly.

“When I was a gangster, if I showed my knife skills once, all the women would swoon.”

“Really?”

When I looked at him with suspicious eyes, Louis Sauver beat his chest saying it was true.

“Should I use my memories from when I was a gangster to show some swordsmanship? When Shamal is in danger, I’ll appear with a ‘ta-da’ and save him.”

I wondered if Shamal would really like that kind of thing.

Shamal probably didn’t fall in love seeing that kind of behavior from Beatrice.

Besides, Shamal was a mage. A really strong mage at that.

Even if he was in danger, he seemed like he could handle it well on his own.

“Louis Sauver, would Shamal really like it if you act like in your previous life? Rather than that…”

Crash!

That’s when it happened.

While we were putting our heads together and worrying, suddenly there was a sound of something falling.

When I turned my head, I saw Shamal standing there with a pale face.

At Shamal’s feet was what appeared to be a crystal orb magical tool that had fallen.

“Sh, Shamal…”

He didn’t hear everything, did he?

I was flustered and called out to Shamal, when suddenly the favorability floating above Shamal’s head started blinking.

And then.

[Favorability 30%]

It had dropped by a whopping 50%!

Damn!

It seemed like Shamal had heard everything.

“Why does Beatrice call you Louis Sauver? And what do you mean by previous life?”

I hurriedly tried to grab Shamal and make excuses, but Shamal quickly turned around.

Then he disappeared with teleportation.

Oh no, Shamal!

While I was stamping my feet, there was a rumbling sound as the sky cracked and the gauge until world destruction went up.

[90% until World Destruction]

I urgently looked out the window.

Perhaps because the world destruction gauge had risen to 90%.

The cracks widened further and the sky now looked almost dark red.

While I was in despair, suddenly a system window appeared in front of me with beeping warning sounds.

[Warning! Only 10% left until World Destruction!

IF Side Story (Shamal ver.) progression recovery impossible judgment. Activating alternative solution! A new goal to prevent world destruction is being set!]

A new goal to prevent world destruction? There’s such a thing?

While I was flustered and blinking, the text in the system window began to change.

[The Black Mage is accelerating world destruction! Find and defeat the evil Black Mage to prevent world destruction!]

Wait, what does conquering the male lead have to do with eliminating the Black Mage?

I hadn’t questioned the system window until now, but suddenly I wondered why the system window was giving such missions.

And we still don’t know exactly who the Black Mage is. How are we supposed to defeat them!

The fortunate thing was that since the mission changed and the world destruction gauge disappeared, the sky regained its original color.

While I was biting my lips and looking at the sky, Kaisis approached me.

“Master, what’s wrong?”

I forced a smile and spoke.

“I just received a new revelation.”

“What revelation?”

“Now I don’t need to conquer the male lead anymore. Instead, I’m told to find and defeat the Black Mage…”

“But we don’t even know who the Black Mage is.”

At Louis Sauver’s words, I let out a deep sigh.

Exactly.

But thinking about it carefully, maybe the mission change was actually a good thing.

If we eliminate the Black Mage, not only would we prevent world destruction, but Kaisis would also be safe from the Black Mage’s attacks.

“Let’s start by finding out who the Black Mage is.”

At my words, Louis Sauver and Kaisis nodded resolutely.

Even though we didn’t know who the Black Mage was, we had to find them as soon as possible.

* * *

Crown Prince Michael tapped the desk with his finger. Clear anger emanated from that touch.

He had proposed the Crown Princess position to Rene but was rejected, and even sent the knights to rescue the kidnapped Rene, only to return empty-handed.

He didn’t know what Rene had done, but even though she didn’t remain in the Holy Kingdom, the people there worshipped her.

He tried to make Rene the Crown Princess again after she returned to the Empire, but now she seemed to be investigating the Masu Transformation in alliance with the Magic Tower.

At this rate, the Empire’s power would inevitably be shaken.

“You can’t even win over one mere girl to your side and create this mess! Do whatever it takes to make Rene Sauver the Crown Princess!”

The Emperor’s words echoed and buzzed in his ears.

It was the moment Michael irritably kicked back his chair and stood up.

“Y-Your Highness. The First Princess has come to see you.”

A maid came to announce Elizabeth’s visit.

“My mood is disturbed right now, so tell her to come back later.”

The Crown Prince glared at the maid.

The maid hurriedly bowed her head and left the room.

But shortly after.

“Brother.”

Elizabeth pushed away the restraining maid and stubbornly barged into Michael’s room.

“Elizabeth, I clearly told you to come later…”

“I have something urgent to tell you.”

Elizabeth glanced around the messy room and soon smiled brightly.

“I have someone to introduce to you.”

The person who walked out from behind First Princess Elizabeth was none other than…

“Duke Decartes?”

“It’s been a while, Your Highness.”

It was Iban.
