How the Reincarnation Seat Destroys the Original - Chapter 117

Episode 117. The snowball that rolled away.

“Have you ever heard of the snowball effect?”

Currently, Kael was sitting on a soft chair with his legs crossed, his robe hat pulled back, and his languid eyes were dark purple and seemed to glow with a dangerous light.

He continued speaking.

“Some people say that a snowball is rolling. That expression literally means that the situation is getting out of control, like a snowball rolling down a slope and swallowing up the snow around it.”

His voice, which spoke a little slowly, was almost threatening.

“That’s my situation right now. It’s like a snowball that I didn’t even roll started rolling and got bigger, and now I’m in that situation.”

His gaze turned to Jack, who was kneeling in front of him with his arms raised and his long, lush green hair hanging down, a sad expression on his face.

And Mabel, who was watching the situation, fidgeted with the hand on her knee.

Kael, who teleported from the palace to an alley, entered a restaurant and ordered green bean soup. Instead of soup, he received a small box. He unfolded the green note inside the box and moved around before opening a door in the air and entering here.

?Wow! So, Your Majesty??

He clearly called the beautiful girl or boy with green hair, who was lying on the desk behind the soft chair where Kael was currently sitting, catching pea-like beans that he tossed and ate, ‘Jack’.

The joy of meeting the person with whom he had exchanged letters in the Temple of the Beginning was short-lived, but Jack, who was trying to run away, and Kael, who was trying to catch him, started a chase in this room, and the result was, of course, Kael’s victory. This was how things progressed to the present situation.

“No… Your Majesty, you told me to use all my magic with all my might! I just used the best magic I know…!!!”

Jack’s face twisted as if he was being wronged, and his lips stuck out as if they were complaining. At the boy’s words, Kael uncrossed his legs and stared at him with his arms resting on his knees.

“That was the highest level of attack magic, Meteor? Is it the circuitry of a normal person to think of dropping a meteor on the capital city with so many imperial citizens?”

“If it’s an idea that wishes for the destruction of the world, wouldn’t it be difficult to see it as having normal thoughts?”

Jack’s constant and stern retort continued, and Kael took something out of this space and lightly hit his head while he was raising his arm.

– Boom!

Mabel looked at what Kael had taken out of the other space, at the cute sound that was somewhat out of place in the atmosphere.

A weapon that cannot cause any pain at all. Its name is the Hammer.

“If you were going to use magic like Meteor.”

Deliberately interrupting the conversation, Kael continued to lightly hit Jack’s head with the mallet.

– Boom, boom! – Boom!

“Shouldn’t you have told me in advance? You’re not really an idea, you’re just Jack acting like an idea.”

“I trusted your magical abilities. I thought you would be able to stop it.”

“That was when I was away on business for three days.”

“I didn’t realize that you were so passionate about using magic without even sleeping until after the incident.”

Kael lightly hit Jack’s head with the mallet one last time, then sighed and threw the mallet into the air, and the mallet, having done its job, returned to this space.

“So what do you have to say now?”

“I’m sorry… I overdid it. I thought your collapse was just a staged act. Next time you ask me to do something like this, I’ll make sure to tell you exactly what kind of magic I’ll use and how I’ll act.”

Jack, who was very intimidated, spoke quickly, and Kael nodded.

“I will also reflect on the fact that I did not ask you specifically. I was confident that I could block any magic you used.”

Does it end warmly?

Mabel looked back and forth between Kael and Jack with a look of secret anticipation.

“But Jack.”

“Yes, your highness.”

“I haven’t told you to put your arms down yet.”

Jack, who had been secretly lowering his arms, stopped moving.

“How long do I have to keep my arms up…? My arms are starting to go numb now….”

At the boy’s question, Kael’s gaze briefly turned to the clock hanging on the wall.

“Hold it for about 10 more minutes.”

“10 minutes?!”

“So you don’t like it? Can you tell me how many magic stones you used?”

“I can hold it for about 10 minutes. Yeah, that’s right. I’ll hold my arm for 10 minutes!”

Jack, who knew full well that the magic stone he had used was worth enough to buy several houses in the capital, straightened his arm again, and finally, after exactly ten minutes, the boy was able to lower his arm.

“But wouldn’t it be a good thing for you to join the Idea Response Team?”

Jack asked about the Idea response team, rubbing his numb arm, before Kael heard the term ‘snowball effect’, which he had never heard of before.

In general, it would be difficult to think of someone who is part of the response team to block Idea as an Idea, and since it would be possible to know in advance where the response team would move and what they would do as the group called Idea moved in the future.

“Certainly, joining the Idea Response Team isn’t such a bad choice.”

“Then isn’t the current situation going in your favor?”

“It’s annoying.”

Jack asked back, “Huh?” while picking at his ear with his fingers, at the words that were blurted out so thoughtlessly.

“I said it was annoying. Just thinking about the work that’s piling up right now makes my head hurt, and now you want me to join the Idea Response Team?”

Yeah, even if you give in a hundred times and go in, does Idea just move? You have to make your own plan and plan, and there’s no way that it’ll come out like a 3-minute microwave meal.

“I think you don’t have to worry about that for the time being?”

As if asking what he was talking about, Kael’s gaze turned to Jack with a mixture of doubt and doubt.

Jack, who had caught his gaze, got up, did a light stretch, and headed to his desk. He rummaged through the mountain of papers stacked up there, picked out a few, and handed them to Kael.

“It seems that the information has not been relayed to your Highness, but there are people impersonating Idea appearing all over the empire.”

Impersonating an idea.

What does this mean?

Instead of asking Jack, Kael read the paper he handed him.

“People wearing crimson robes and black masks are appearing all over the empire. They call themselves those who wish for the destruction of the world and say that they follow the Idea.

They consist of a small group of 5 to a large group of 10 people, and are currently mainly attacking or destroying small villages.

Below the brief description, there was a summary of incidents and accidents that had occurred since the day he collapsed, such as attacking the village at least once a day and burning down the surrounding forest.

At the same time, the existence of the extras in the original work came to Kael’s mind.

The original work, ‘Those Who Wish for the Destruction of the World’, was initially set up as mid-boss villains in order to finish the manuscript in a hurry, but ended up being mere villains.

They had made brief appearances even before the reincarnation. They became active in earnest after the second disaster, but were defeated miserably by Lars less than a month later.

“You brought forward the start of your activities.”

Kael muttered softly with a sigh.

The fact that they moved so quickly must have been largely due to the revelation of Idea.

The loach was a fish that moved in schools and had a very high prey volume relative to its body weight. Those who wished for the destruction of the world in the original work were exactly like the loach.

A fairly large number.

They were people who wanted to destroy and eliminate everything in the world that was destined to perish anyway.

“Your Majesty?”

Jack called out to Kael, who was silently looking down at the paper, and he put the paper down and opened his mouth.

“Yes. As you said, I don’t think I’ll have to worry about moving or making plans myself for the time being.”

The original was becoming more and more distorted.

Since the information he knew was from when the original story had been told, he decided that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to join the Idea response team and look into the situation.

Since Emperor Bastian decided to cooperate with the temple, the palace side would put himself and several others on the response team, and the temple side would definitely put Lars and his group on the response team.

Cooperation with the main characters.

Kael let out another heavy sigh, thinking that the unintended snowball had rolled properly.

It was your own fault.

After that, Jack brought Kael and Mabel to the entrance of the Damier Mansion, and it was natural that the Damier Mansion was excited by their appearance.

“Master-!!!”

In particular, Hugo, who was always rational and had a kind smile, hugged Kael with a face covered in tears and snot, and Kael, who was quite flustered by the strong welcome, had his clothes soaked with his traces.

“If someone saw me, they would think I came back from the dead.”

“How worried I was…!!!”

“I’m fine.”

“In the meantime, you lost 3.3 kg, and your already lacking muscle mass also decreased!”

3.3kg How do you know the exact figure?

Seeing Hugo showing no signs of calming down, Kael ran to his office, only to be greeted by a huge mountain of paperwork.

He sighed at the already overwhelming amount of documents and slowly headed towards where he was sitting.

The view of the office from my chair was the same as always, a familiar space neat and tidy, perfect for working at any time.

“Phew… .”

Kael, who had sunk deep into his chair, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let it out. Perhaps because the surroundings were quiet, he could faintly hear the laughter and tears of the servants welcoming Mabel from within the Damie household.

Behind Hugo, who was embracing him, Tariq was suppressing many emotions, Lily was holding back tears. The images of Raisa and Raina, who had turned into animals that were hovering around his feet, lingered in his mind.

Besides them, there are also the expressions of the servants who are not so close to him.

“I guess I’ll have to be moderate next time.”

Every time I saw their expressions like that, my heart would feel so dizzy. My plan to twist the original was already making progress.

He is a person who will have to leave this place someday.

Kael was left alone to recall that fact again.
