I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

117. With great power comes great responsibility (4)

1.

It was the beginning of a grand plan.

Now that I’ve become a court magician, the research funds I receive from the royal family are virtually unlimited, and it’s up to me to decide how I use them. Of course, if I were to use them for personal gain, it could be problematic, but I’ve heard that my superiors won’t even think about touching me unless it’s really serious.

Of course, I heard all this from Elena.

If I were to change my perspective, I don’t think I would want to go out of my way to make trouble by scratching the upper echelons of the empire.

But that doesn’t mean I can just sit around and do nothing.

“I can’t even tell you that this is the treatment method because I feel so embarrassed when I go somewhere.”

He sat at his desk grumbling.

First of all, the treatment method Arwen taught me was truly a culture shock. It’s not that I felt a sense of rejection, but when I heard that the treatment method was like that, I think most people, including me, would think it was absurd.

You might think, “Is there a way?” but Arwen also said that it is not a fundamental solution.

If you look for it, there might be a way. Surely there shouldn’t be.

If it doesn’t work, make it work. There’s a saying like that.

The moment I was about to take my first step with the leisurely thought that since money was overflowing and there was still a lot of time left, if I kept looking for a way, I would eventually find a way.

Everything was perfect, but as expected, an obstacle appeared.

“Come on, there’s no need to be so embarrassed. What kind of healing method is there between us anyway?”

“It’s a big deal. It’s a matter of life and death for some people right now.”

“It’s okay, you won’t die. You won’t die. When I asked Sylphia again, she said that if you just periodically release your magic power, the condition won’t get better, but it won’t get any worse.”

The number one troublemaker was Rasil, sitting right next to me with his chin resting on his hand and his eyes sparkling with interest.

“Why are you talking so leisurely now as if it were someone else’s story?”

“then?”

“Elena said she was preparing for the wedding. I can’t help but go and help.”

“If you look at it that way, the groom’s side is also doing the same thing here.”

“I’m strictly researching. I’m working, you know, working.”

“Is that so?”

Rasil tilted his head and muttered the word wedding over and over again.

“Well, there’s no wedding in the world where there are five brides and one groom, right?”

“…That’s why it’s strange for those five people to talk like that.”

“Oh, I’m fine. Actually, I was worried because the candidates around me were so strong, but this picture isn’t so bad.”

Then Rasil shrugged and added:

“And if you like this kind of composition,

“why……?”

“It’s strangely exciting because it feels like I’m going to snatch it away with a bang.”

As soon as Rasil finished answering, he grabbed the back of his neck. It felt like the back of his neck was being pulled.

While I was wondering what to do with this Rasil, who seemed to be evolving from a golden sun to a more golden sun, the second troublemaker, who came to help but couldn’t, cautiously opened his mouth.

“……Ludrick, even if you have such tastes, I will try my best to accommodate you.”

“no.”

An immediate response to Eileen’s carefully worded remark.

It was crazy and mind-boggling. I was just about to start a new study with a new mindset, and there were two interrupters right next to me spouting nonsense.

Now, if we just add one more Sylphia or Arwen to this, the three of us will be able to use the saboteur Delta Hurricane.

“Ugh.”

Just when I was about to start something, two troublemakers suddenly showed up and interrupted me.

When I saw him laughing and saying something nice, I was about to say something, but then I lost the will to say anything. I guess I’ll just have to endure it and live.

I was wondering where to start, thinking, “I don’t know what to say to that smiling face, so I should just do what I have to do,” when Rasil, who naturally put his arm around my shoulder, asked.

“So what do you plan to do?”

“What is it?”

“This is going to be the wedding of the century. Have you thought about it at all?”

“The wedding of the century……”

“If there’s one groom and five brides, it’s the wedding of the century, isn’t it?”

Rasil laughed playfully.

No, in the first place, it’s strange to accept that one man and several women are so natural in this day and age. What is it that this stupid person is laughing at so foolishly?

“It’s already giving me a headache just thinking about it, so could you please not mention it so specifically?”

“You have to endure it. You brought it all on yourself. Do you know that it’s usually women who wear flowers in both hands, not men?”

Rasil playfully replied, poking my forehead with his finger.

Did I bring this upon myself…?

“I brought this on myself?”

“Oh, wasn’t it?”

“How did you bring this upon yourself…?”

“Even I, who am insensitive and dull, knew that he was just letting things slide.”

As soon as Rasil finished speaking, I thought quietly.

I was running around shedding tears… … ?

As I was pondering whether there had ever been such a time, Rasil added at the end.

“Oh, not this time, not before I regress.”

“Oh really!”

“Hahaha, just kidding. Well, it’s not like I stopped shedding tears even after I returned.”

Next to him, Rasil is giggling, and Eileen is looking at him with an envious expression.

It was a total mess.

“That’s what happened.”

After listening to Ludrick’s story to the end, Sylphia nodded with a calm face and voice.

While listening to the story, Sylphia was trying hard to cheer on and chime in, and Ludrick looked at her with eyes that seemed to expect her to reach a conclusion.

After the incident at the last Rare, I had been thinking, ‘If I were to break the die one-on-one, this would be honestly doable,’ to borrow Ludrick’s own words, but magic isn’t all about fighting, and with the experience and academic achievements she’s accumulated over the years of living, Sylphia is naturally superior to Ludrick.

I brought this up because I thought it might be helpful, as I was conducting my own research to try and fix Ludrick.

“Then I should hurry up and help with the wedding preparations.”

“Why is the conclusion like that?”

“Hey, wasn’t that what you asked?”

Ludrick looked visibly disappointed at Sylphia’s conclusion.

At the moment when Sylphia was twirling her hair with her fingers, wondering if this was it, Ludrick sighed and added.

“I was asking, is there anything that can help with your research?”

“Aha, me again.”

Their pints were slightly off.

What’s important to Ludrick is not the wedding preparations that may or may not end, but the research that must begin right now.

And what’s important to Sylphia is the wedding preparations, which cannot be left to Elena alone.

“I thought you were asking me to help prepare for the wedding.”

“Elena will take care of that.”

“……Is that so?”

“Elena will probably prepare on her own, but she’ll get annoyed if you try to help her for no reason.”

“That’s true. If we just leave it alone, it will prepare diligently on its own.”

Sylphia nodded as well, thinking that it made sense.

It wasn’t a problem that she was preparing alone, but if someone else were to step in to help her while she was putting her heart and soul into the preparation, she would find it even more annoying. At least that’s what Elena had been like so far.

“Anyway, I kicked out Yellow and Black, the troublemakers, so if you have any data, please share it with me.”

“Who is that?”

“There are. One Geum Taeyang who was bothering me here just a moment ago and one girl with no numbers.”

“Huh……”

Silphia’s eyes narrowed as she snorted, as if she knew who it was. It seemed like two other people had stopped by while she was away.

Elena was obviously preparing for the wedding alone, and Arwen was waiting impatiently for Ludrick to return to his room when the two stopped by and left. This meant that Sylphia was the only one left behind.

Sylphia, who had a good idea, took out a few books from the bookshelf next to her desk.

“There are a few things I’ve been experimenting with personally. Ludrick’s disease… I don’t know if it’s right to call it a disease. Anyway, if we find out what causes it, it might not be completely impossible to cure it.”

“That’s right. Even if you get cancer, if you have surgery to remove it early, you can live, and they say they’ll develop a cure and stuff.”

“……I don’t know what it means, but I’ve established it as a hypothesis anyway. You’ll know if you try it yourself and see the results.”

“Okay. Then can I borrow that?”

“but.”

As Ludrick reached out to take the book, Sylphia smiled and took the book back into her arms.

“……?”

“There is one condition.”

“…What are the conditions?”

“here.”

Knock knock.

Sylphia, with her eyes closed, pointed to my lips with her finger.

“I’ll lend it to you if you give me just one kiss.”

“……We’re about to get married, but you’re setting conditions like this.”

“Then, as Ludrick said, since we’re going to get married soon anyway, kissing doesn’t matter, right?”

Sylphia answered with a grin.

Since it was a well-established theory, there was nothing to refute. It was as if Ludrick had fallen for my trick.

Sylphia’s cheeks flushed slightly, as if she couldn’t hide her embarrassment at all, but it was something she would have to get used to by now anyway.

Besides, in order to treat Ludrick, they would have to have s*x at night periodically anyway.

“Oh my.”

If I keep doing this, I’m afraid I’ll end up dying when I actually get married.

side.

Ludrick muttered and lightly kissed her lips.
