I Became the Villain of a Romance Fantasy - Chapter 145



145 – chromel(4)

“Is there something wrong with you?”

Orcus, who collapsed on the gymnasium covered in sweat, muttered as he looked at Noel, who was vigorously swinging his sword.

Should I say it’s a feeling that I feel because I’m a family who’s been seeing each other for years. Originally, Noel never neglected training, but compared to her appearance now, something felt out of place.

Doesn’t it look like fun at all?

Noel, who just a few days ago would have exuded positive energy and danced with a sword, is now holding back the smile he always wanted and holding on to his face as he silently wields his sword.

Noel’s appearance now was like that of an ascetic who deliberately suffered asceticism to get rid of wandering thoughts. To others, it seemed like he was just trying to concentrate, but Orcus felt something was wrong with his eyes.

Even if Orcus is not a knight who has properly honed his martial arts, there is something that is rolled every day, so there is something visible.

The fierce swordsmanship that cut through the air and the golden aura that wrapped around Noel’s body were obviously powerful, but I couldn’t erase the feeling that they were lacking compared to what Noel showed in perfect condition. Although it is powerful, it is not to the extent that it feels threatened.

I don’t know what the problem was, but Noel couldn’t concentrate on the sword right now.

It seems that he is aware of this fact, and he seems to be swinging his sword to keep his spirits together, but Orcus, who has been watching Noel for a long time, feels that there is no sign of getting better no matter how much time passes.

‘What happened recently? I don’t think there was anything special…’

To say it was recent work, it was just that the magic research that Damian had received permission from last time had materialized. It was a research related to magic tools, so I hoped Noel would like it, but it wasn’t something that would cause concern.

In addition, I searched my memory to see if there was something that could affect Noel, but according to the report, no incidents that could cause problems for Noel have occurred recently.

Attending the academy, talking with friends, and returning to the imperial castle to train together were all normal routines.

Of course, the reason why Orcus receives reports about Noel is to protect himself, not to keep an eye on his every move. If Noel had secretly gone out to work, he might not have known…

In any case, in the end, only Noel knows the cause of Noel’s problems.

The fact that I haven’t said anything yet is that it’s one of the two.

Either it’s not really a big deal or it’s a very personal matter. It seemed the latter now.

Orcus thought about questioning Noel about it, but gave up.

“You must protect your privacy.”

No matter how friendly the sibling relationship is, personal affairs must be handled carefully.

Since there was not much time left until the Holy Ghost Festival, I thought it would be a pretty good experience for Noel, who has lived without worrying so far.

There must be times when people are like that, but if you stay carefree forever, you can’t use it.

Originally thinking about it and thinking about it over and over again to realize it.

It wasn’t the purpose of weakening the opponent in the Holy Ghost Festival.

“There’s no one…”

Noel swung his sword and looked around.

In the gymnasium where the sun had set, she was the only one standing. Orcus, who had been training together, was exhausted early and returned to his room a long time ago. Perhaps because it was late, the servants cleaning the castle were nowhere to be seen.

Upon confirming that no one was there, Noel put the sword in his hand into the ground and lay down on the floor, looking up at the sky.

If anyone had seen this, they would have said something to keep up, but now Noel was alone. The gymnasium in the middle of the night was quiet and there was no one to nag her.

It would be nice if I could quietly appreciate the stars like this, but the thoughts that keep popping up in my head interfere with the appreciation. He swung his sword all day to erase it, but there was no improvement.

Even now, her eyes were looking up at the sky, but what was filling her head was an unidentified recollection.

“Uh, uh…”

Strange memories started popping up in my head after I woke up after losing my mind in front of the holy relics the other day.

A video that pops into your head one day at a time.

Memories that belonged to her but were not mine at the same time.

Obviously, it was the life of Noel Estelia, but it was a picture of a life that was a little different from what it is now.

This was too elaborate and vivid to be dismissed as mere delusion, and it was like seeing another one’s life drawn in the name of if.

It’s similar to someone else’s life, but it’s only slightly different, so it’s unavoidable that emotions are shared to some extent. So it was difficult to pass it lightly as if reading a fairy tale.

At first, you may have been able to watch it lightly for fun, but as time goes on, you may feel anxious that it might happen to you when you see situations that become more serious.

But the most troubling part is…

‘Here you are. Oh, you’ve already heard the story from my older brother, haven’t you?’

‘Yes? am i okay? Ahahahaha. Absolutely. That’s because I brought up the story first.’

‘Why are you looking so surprised? Did you really think that my older brother pushed me against it?’

‘I never thought I’d be so ignorant… We even danced together, so of course you should have thought about this! Well, that’s all you need to know now.”

‘Hmmm. My brother has already said it, but this time I will speak with my own mouth. It’s a very simple offer, all you have to do is accept it! Did you know? Don’t think too deeply! Um… Let’s think of it as a simple deal!!’

‘Damian, me and…’

“Ouch! No!! Wake up, Noel!!”

Suddenly, blood rushes to your head and your face heats up.

Noel cried out for his reason to come back as he slapped his cheek with the palm of his hand at the momentary memory that popped into his head.

Even though I know it’s not my feelings, it affects me like this. There was no way to stop it as the emotions he did not yet know properly came flooding in uninterpreted.

I wonder if there was a heart like this in a corner of my heart. Even though I knew it wasn’t the reason, it seems like it’s coming in through a small gap.

It was for this reason that he did not go out with his friends these days and immediately returned to the imperial castle.

I couldn’t think normally because they overlapped with the appearance of this unknown memory. Needless to say, especially in Damian’s case, it was a toil just to endure the torrent of emotions that surged every time he saw him.

Originally, Noel was usually the one who was more rational when he had to be sentimental and rational, but it was strangely difficult to come to his senses, perhaps because he had no immunity to this sudden feeling.

Of course, that didn’t mean Noel was completely immersed in emotion.

The life in memory and the life of Noel Estelia, who is now, are similar, but they are completely different lives. She knew how to distinguish between something that hadn’t happened and that it was a complete delusion with no possibility.

His face getting hot like this is just a fever caused by unfamiliar emotions, and it won’t last too long.

It just takes a little time.

As the emotional heat subsided a bit, Noel continued to think.

It is not likely that one day, suddenly, without any reason, he would fantasize about this. There must have been a cause and an opportunity to show these memories to oneself.

And the cause was clear.

Waking up after losing consciousness in front of a holy relic a few days ago. Since that day, I have had these memories, so the cause of these memories was certain to be a sacred object.

“why?”

The question was why the relic showed him these memories.

There was no way to the Great Temple on the way to Demian, so it was clear that the holy relic had led them. In the first place, the Great Hall where the holy relics were kept was not a place where even members of the royal family could freely enter, so it would not make sense unless the holy relics allowed it.

“Damian.”

When the name was called, the heat soared again, but Noel was not swept away by it and focused on thinking.

A person who accompanied himself to the Great War.

At the same time, he is also a person who occupies a large portion of the memory shown by the holy relic. Is there a reason why the sacred object, which had been silent until now, called it together?

“Isn’t it just an illusion…”

He wasn’t the only one who lost his mind that day, so at the moment he wondered if he had the same memory as himself, but when he remembered Damian’s behavior as usual after that, it seemed that it wasn’t the case.

‘Or was it that he didn’t mind even though he remembered it?’

As I thought about it, a corner of my heart sank deeply.

Maybe it’s because I saw too many memories, but I can’t help but be affected by those emotions.

Noel stood up again to clear his frustrated mind. Strangely, divinity was seething in his chest. I thought about how to deal with this, and in the end I realized that there was only one way to do it.

Noel got up from his seat and did not pull out the sword he had pierced into the ground.

With divinity that was about to overflow, he held his hand in the air as if holding a sword. Then, as if responding to this, in the empty air, a sword of the sword god, shining golden, appeared in her hand.

“Suck!”

Holding the holy sword in his hand, Noel swung the sword until his thoughts disappeared again.
