160. The Absolute and the Enemy

【SYSTEM: A luck buff occurs due to the keyword effect of ‘#LuckMaxLevel’!】

I felt a vibration as if the heavens and the earth were being opened with the system window.

Something was coming.

Something that goes far beyond human existence.

Although it was not visible to the eye, its strong presence could be felt on the skin.

An overwhelming presence that makes you dizzy just by daring to face it.

He, who had been hovering in the air, transformed into a human form. At the same time, the pressure that had been pressing down like gravity weakened.

“Hello? I was able to come here thanks to you catching my eye.”

“… … !”

He was an administrator.

As his warm hands passed over the back of my neck, my blocked breathing became clear.

My body, which had been frozen with tension and fear, gently relaxed.

Ki-ki-ki-ki-ki.

At that moment, Countess Gott’s head turned strangely. Her eyes became bloodshot.

“You, your soul body must be imprisoned, so how did you come here?”

“Did you forget? My original major was running away from home.”

He responded nonchalantly.

“Besides, now that I look at it, I’m not the only one who should be penalized. You’re also violating your duty of neutrality.”

“what……!”

“What deity said it was okay to appear in front of the possessed person without permission?”

It was the moment when he first caught sight of the Countess.

Phage crackling.

Sparks flew from her body as if she was being punished by the gods.

“Ah …!”

The Countess writhe in agony, screaming in agony.

It was a bizarre sight, completely out of this world.

As I was watching the scene, the manager blocked my view.

“Hey, take a break.”

“… … .”

After hearing that voice, I slowly lost consciousness.

* * *

How long had I been out of my mind like that?

When I suddenly came to my senses, someone was holding me in their arms.

‘It’s warm.’

The warmth of a fireplace enveloped me. It was so comfortable that I wanted to be buried in his arms forever.

“Are you awake? You were sleeping soundly without even tossing and turning.”

“……huh?”

Those words instantly lifted my spirits.

I quickly raised my head and met his amber eyes.

He was playfully looking down at me in his arms.

“You’ve been snoring lately? You’re cute. If you’re so cute in everything, you’ll only be able to steal my heart.”

“What, what? Who said I snore? I don’t snore.”

I cried reflexively and then suddenly came to my senses.

“… … Manager? You’re the manager, right?”

The hair that looked as soft as pink cotton candy and the honey-colored eyes were exactly like the manager I knew.

He looked like a full-fledged adult, not a child.

Even as a boy, he had a cute impression, but his appearance, which had become more defined, gave off a relaxed vibe.

“Right. How about this look? I hope you like it.”

As he said that, he brought his face closer to mine.

The shadow created by his delicate eyelashes fell across my face.

The prominent bridge of her nose brushed my cheek precariously.

He looked at me intently, as if observing me. His eyes, which I had always thought were sweet, seemed thick as thick honey.

Eventually, I couldn’t stand the burdensome gaze and turned my head away.

“Look at this, your face is red? Do you like this face so much?”

“When did I!”

He chuckled.

I wanted to argue that it wasn’t true, but the pleasant low and mid-range tones tickled my ears, doubling my embarrassment.

“How long are you going to hold me?”

“Um. Until we get home?”

When I grumbled, the manager responded calmly.

“Home? Countess Gott?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“huh?”

Only then did I hurriedly look around, but there was nothing around me. Just a pitch-black landscape like night repeated itself.

“No one will remember what happened today. Countess Gott will be having dinner with Count Vermont by now.”

“Are you saying that my visit to the Countess never happened?”

“That’s right. It’s too big of a deal for a single character to handle.”

“Because it’s to protect the original work or something?”

“It’s roughly similar.”

“Then what about Cayenne? How do I get Cayenne?”

I asked, becoming anxious.

The reason I came to see the Countess in the first place was to find a way to restore his daytime personality.

But there’s no way to try anything like this.

The manager stopped dead in his tracks.

“I told you, you just have to take responsibility for your own fate.”

“but…….”

“Kaien’s soul has already fallen into another timeline. Bringing a being living in another timeline would be a complete turn-off to the worldview.”

“… … .”

“Roselia.”

“……know.”

Actually, I knew it vaguely.

There’s nothing I can do about it.

The manager also did his best.

He gave the vanishing day personality a chance to be reborn in another world.

It was Cayenne who rejected it and chose to live in this world again.

The choice and the price that came with it were entirely his.

There was no way to turn it back.

As I bit my lips, the manager looked down at me without saying a word.

What does that gaze mean?

He seemed to both care for me and feel sorry for me.

He continued to move forward and gently let me down from his arms.

“Unfortunately, this is all I can take you to.”

“Where are you going now?”

He took a step closer to me as I was feeling anxious.

“Don’t worry. I’m always watching over you.”

“… … !”

point.

Something soft touched my forehead and then fell away.

“I’ll come again.”

The soft voice soon turned into silence. The surroundings had changed to the familiar Duke’s residence.

* * *

Phage crackle-

As Roselia disappeared, sparks flew from the administrator’s body. Patches of damaged skin fell off and tattered.

“Oh my, there’s nothing healthy about my body anymore.”

He sighed and collapsed on the ground.

His body was also overtaxed from dealing with the divinity.

Dealing with divinity was also a bother to him.

Especially if it’s a deity that opposes me.

This time, they sent him back with a penalty, but there was no guarantee the next time.

“I wonder if my body will be ruined before that.”

It’s a shame that I went to such lengths to make it to my liking.

The manager rubbed his face sullenly.

He was imprisoned in another dimension, waiting for a moment when surveillance was lax.

He could come back at any time, as long as there was a little gap.

At that moment, the divinity led by Roselia appeared here, and Ian, who was watching the situation, immediately requested a penalty.

Taking advantage of everyone’s attention, the manager released the restraints.

“Ouch.”

Of course, there was a price to pay for escaping.

Sparks flew from his body.

“It’s difficult, it’s difficult.”

With great force comes greater reaction.

If he were to appear in his original form as a deity, Roselia, a mere possessed being, would not be able to handle it.

Just by setting eyes on her, her fragile life will be shaken without rest.

Her fate was already in jeopardy because of herself.

The more he favored Roselia, the more troubles she faced. The tasks became more difficult, and the situation became more unfavorable.

That was too much for the ice maker to handle.

In order to protect her somehow, he took on the role of administrator as a stopgap measure, but that too came with limitations.

I couldn’t get close to her because I was bound by rules.

If he cannot exist as a god and has clear limitations as an administrator… … .

“My days as a manager are numbered.”

He shook his hands and stood up.

Perwin was having a very busy day.

Before we knew it, the founding of the nation was approaching.

He was busy expanding the invitation list for foreign dignitaries and coordinating details to fill in for the Emperor’s absence.

Because I was busy with work, there was no room for personal feelings.

As I became absorbed in my work, my feelings for Roselia, my anxiety about Cayenne, and even my hatred for the Empress all temporarily faded.

There is still no conclusion regarding Cayenne’s disposal, and all disposal has been postponed until after the founding of the country.

Nothing was resolved, but it was a brief moment of peace.

He was reviewing documents all night again today.

Boom, boom.

As I was turning the page, a red mark spread across the document.

“this.”

“Your Majesty, are you alright?”

The secretary was startled and came running when he saw him bleeding from the nose.

“I will call the Imperial Doctor immediately!”

“it’s okay.”

He waved his hand, but the secretary’s worries were not dispelled.

“You haven’t slept for days. You should rest for today. It’s already very late.”

“Stop meddling.”

Perwin replied curtly.

I haven’t had a good night’s sleep lately.

Rather than sleeping uncomfortably, it would be better to stay up all night.

“Come and get some fresh air.”

He got up from his seat.

I was about to head towards the sponsorship as usual, but I hurriedly changed direction.

The Crown Prince’s palace garden, which he had once carefully tended, had now become the place he most hated.

As I turned and headed towards the Emperor’s Palace, I saw a long shadow in the darkness.

“Brecht?”
