Academy Gumiho is a Magical Genius Episode 303

Magic Stone (3)

Bang!

A glass clinked against another glass.

The red wine in the glass sloshed.

“I really like my hometown. I can drink a lot of delicious alcohol like this.”

My sister and I enjoyed an early dinner.

A large table and many chairs. Overflowing food and expensive drinks.

Although the setting was more than adequate for a banquet, only my sister and I attended the meal.

“……Then why don’t you come back home?”

“It doesn’t matter where you are, it’s none of my business.”

“……okay.”

An awkward conversation ensued.

Because both of them have come so far compared to the past.

We couldn’t figure out how to talk.

‘It’s completely different from the diary. It’s not easy to have a conversation.’

Snow White.

She was my older sister.

Reading the diary and the memories that vaguely remained in my head, I could see that the relationship between Baek Seol-ha and Seung-woo was more special than I thought since they were young.

Unlike ordinary siblings and ordinary families.

Seungwoo and Baekseol were born with a responsibility.

Regardless of which of the two becomes the head of the household or not.

The remaining one must assist the person who will become the head of the household and lead the family.

“When I, the eldest son, was chosen as the head of the household, my sister became my shadow.”

“……It feels new.”

“It’s nothing new. I just became curious, even if it was late.”

After the death of my parents.

Seungwoo and Baekseolha’s lives changed 180 degrees.

From the surrounding environment to the lifestyle, even the personality has changed.

‘The older sister who was so lively and loved her younger siblings closed her mouth.’

Although we received a lot of love from our parents, as direct descendants, our future was half-determined. We had no expectations for the future, but my brother and I tried our best to enjoy the present.

But that future day.

The future in which one person becomes the head of the household as a direct descendant and the rest of the siblings assist the head of the household happened at an unprecedented speed.

Because I have responsibilities and obligations, I can no longer enjoy the present.

There was no hope for the future to begin with, and all that remained were memories of the past.

“The sister in my memories wasn’t like this.”

Memories of my older sister in my diary.

It was mostly made up of bright and warm things.

He was not as sparing with his words as he is now, nor was his face gloomy.

The future ahead would certainly be difficult, but she was a girl who did her best to enjoy the present without losing her smile.

“……Back then, you and I, and the youngest. We were so young.”

“I was too young to know society and the world.”

“……I thought to myself as I watched my father struggling with work every day and my mother helping him. Someday, we too will live fiercely like our parents, but if we make lots of beautiful memories, it will definitely be okay.”

Gulp.

Snow White drank the wine in her glass without even tasting it.

She continued to pour into her glass, as if she were someone who was drinking not to enjoy the expensive liquor on the table, but simply to get drunk.

“But that wasn’t the case. After the two of you passed away, you went crazy, and the youngest became obsessed with carrying on his parents’ wishes.”

“that……!”

There was a moment when my mouth opened, but I desperately held back the words that were about to spill out.

Some people pretend to be crazy.

I couldn’t bring myself to say it. I didn’t want to say it.

Because the person who needs to convey this message no longer exists in this world.

I was careful with my words.

“……No. Continue what you were saying.”

“……You two lack memories to recall. Compared to me, I realized that the head of the household and the saintess were too heavy a burden to you who had relatively few memories to recall.”

The eldest son naturally became the head of the household as he was the only son in the family.

The second daughter, the youngest, was born with unprecedented supernatural powers and became a saint who presided over family events. At the time, the two were only in middle school and elementary school.

“You guys were so young, so I thought I’d take care of everything.”

Drive out your younger brother and become the head of the household.

I had no intention of ever having the status of a saint.

But she had been running hard until now for that purpose.

The change in my siblings was as sudden as the sudden death of my parents.

“But you guys started to change.”

To the elders, Seungwoo was a thorn in their side.

He had no real power, but he had nominal authority, so after some debating, he was exiled to the Academy as an assistant. The moment I first heard the news.

Snow White got angry.

How dare you send my younger brother into exile so carelessly.

At first, I was overcome with deep anger.

But when I thought about it, it wasn’t so bad.

“I thought you could buy some time if you were at the Academy.”

In fact, while Seungwoo was at the academy, Baekseolha greatly expanded her influence.

With her unique political sense and quick calculation of profit and loss, she succeeded in increasing her power by almost five times. However, the fact that she was only able to form a force of equal size to the elders after increasing it by five times was what held her back.

Snow White has just reached the starting line.

The elders had already built up a force of equal size to hers, and were slowly growing in size. As a latecomer, unless she had a brilliant idea or luck on her side, there was no way to further increase her power.

The one who came forward at that very moment was Baek Seol-hee.

“Your exile was not just my opportunity.”

“That child, Baek Seol-hee, also participated in the war.”

“That’s right. Did you know that the child was considered a saint from a very young age?”

“I know.”

Among the entries in the diary.

Most of the items related to the younger sister were related to the saint.

“Because I’m the head of the household, I can’t help but know.”

“Well, it is an old tradition to talk about saints and priestesses.”

A saint or a priestess.

Although the name changed over time, the value and power contained in the position remained unchanged.

Being a saint is a kind of honorary position.

Cheonho Baekga is a family unit, and as it is a prestigious family that has continued for 1,000 years, it has all kinds of traditions and events.

To host the event, one inevitably needs vast supernatural powers to carry out the traditions written in the ancient books.

Some events require wind and rain.

And in some cases, a lightning storm is necessary.

To carry out all these minor traditions without exception, the direct lineage is born with powerful supernatural powers.

That was Snow White in its time.

“It must have caused a huge stir.”

“That’s true. The elders would have liked to leave the youngest as a saint who only presided over events, but the followers who followed the child wouldn’t let that happen.”

“Do those old men still have influence?”

The saint’s power is small, but not weak.

This is because there are old people who are called followers and chase after Baek Seol-hee. They are nearing death and are the previous generation of the main power structure of the family, and they enjoyed everything that the living could enjoy while they were alive.

But maybe it’s because we’re from a generation that believes in superstitions.

They followed Baek Seol-hee around and took care of her convenience, as she hosted the family funeral and farewell party to see off the spirits.

Please believe in the saint and be able to have a good afterlife.

That was the identity and behavioral principle of old people.

“They are radical nobles. They have all retired from the front lines now, but they used to be elders or managed the family business, so they know how to make full use of the connections they built up back then.”

“That’s just how it is. Since ancient times, forces armed with tradition, death, and religion have been scary.”

The nobles who are armed with their original beliefs are a bit scary.

“You came to your senses, and Seol-hee has built her own power.”

Snow White looked at me and said.

“That’s what I’m saying.”

He didn’t mumble any more.

Snow White was looking straight at me.

“I don’t know why you brought up the subject of Gaju, but it’s right for you to keep Gaju.”

“……Are you trying to say that neither of them are qualified?”

“My sister and I have been turning a blind eye to our father’s choice. If he were a responsible father, he would have had a reason for putting you forward as the next head of the family.”

Snow White felt the limits of her own abilities.

The nature of the forces that followed Baek Seol-hee did not suit the family.

If there was a time when Seungwoo was called a loser.

Regardless of ability and inclination, both of them would have worked hard to become the head of the household.

But at some point, when they stopped hearing the label of a loser from me, they stopped walking.

“That’s why. I plan to believe in you and support you now.”

“……Does that guy think the same thing?”

“The youngest? Of course. Because Seol-hee was the one who brought up this topic two days ago.”

It seemed like things were going well between the siblings.

Because our relationship was like a tangled ball of thread, I thought it would take a long time for us to understand each other, but surprisingly, with one stroke of lightning, all the tangled threads were unraveled.

But this is difficult.

“Um… actually.”

What should I do with this?

After clicking my tongue and thinking about it, I finally opened my mouth.

“I might die soon?”

The end of the scenario was slowly approaching.

It seemed like my death was drawing near.

Of course, Snow White’s eyes widened when she first heard this fact.

* * *

“Oh my, it hurts.”

His face was swollen.

I muttered, caressing my face.

“……Isn’t that usually the moment to worry?”

They say my younger brother might die.

I don’t know why you’re swinging your fist there.

─… … Are you calling that a word?

“Why? What did I say?”

─What you said. If someone heard it, it would sound like a suicide attempt.

Does something that might kill you any time soon sound like a suicide attempt?

And from the beginning.

“Suicide attempt would be right. Because sooner or later, I’m going to die in the end.”

─Is that something you can say so easily?

“It’s not something I say lightly. You probably know that by now, right?”

How great is my longing for death.

“I want to take a rest.”

─… …Can’t I just sit in the rocking chair like an old man in the back room and play with the kids while I rest?

“Hey. That’s your stereotype of the old man in the back room.”

─Anyway, you don’t plan on living a peaceful life like that?

Of course she was aware of it.

He knows me better than anyone else because he watches my actions most closely and can converse with me through thoughts alone.

“Well, like you said, living with children wouldn’t be so bad.”

Not a bad idea.

But I couldn’t nod my head in agreement.

Because I lived that kind of life once.

“But living like that doesn’t bring peace.”

After the war was over, we had a long rest.

A long, long rest to calm the tired and injured body and mind.

No matter how much I rested, I couldn’t feel at peace.

Still, I took a break.

Years passed, but my wounds did not heal.

That’s because my wish was denied from the very beginning.

During the war, most soldiers wanted an end to the war and peace.

However, to me, who had spent my youth on a battlefield, war was a very natural setting.

What I wanted was people, not an end to war or peace.

Teacher, Master. Everyone I loved.

I wanted to live with them.

But they all gave their lives for the cause of peace, and I too was willing to give my life, but in the end, my turn never came.

I ended the war with my own hands.

And funny enough.

The fact that I couldn’t die like other people eventually became my regret.

The end of this world. The battle that will take place at the end of the scenario will definitely be the perfect one to sacrifice my life for.

I have come to this moment to be with those I have respected and loved. It is now right in front of me.

There was no way I could give up now.

but.

“If the time comes that I change my mind”

That’s for sure.

“Isn’t this the moment when I love someone more than anyone I’ve ever loved before?”

The person I love so much that I would give up my only obsession.

Well, at least so far I can’t think of any.
