I Returned， but the Reverse World 225

Chapter 225 – 21. The Broad-Minded Mother-in-Law, the Female Knight, and the Tanning Bully Sister-in-Law

Returned to the Kingdom of Palania.

Although there was a purpose of visiting Nina’s hometown, I feel much more comfortable even though I have definitely rested in a resort city. Her mansion, which became her home in many ways, was the best.

“Ha.”

I want to rest for a few days like this, but the reality is not easy.

‘I should go to the castle first and organize the things I got from the Slavic kingdom, then hand over some of the work I’m doing over there. After that…’

Her head spins taut, looking for something to do.

Then later on, it became a level of making it at all.

“Ah.”

Realizing that this shouldn’t be the case, he got up from the bed.

“Damn it, how long has it been since I felt comfortable at home…”

Still, having a lot to do wasn’t a bad thing.

There are some things I’ve been waiting for so long.

‘I said I could come sooner than I thought.’

Maman Han and her party, Belluna and her party members, and even Lunaria.

A lot of people are going to come to the kingdom of Palania, and he has to prepare to welcome them. However, this was a happy preparation that I wanted to take care of myself. This time, he is coming as a guest, not as a mover, but if he is a guest, shouldn’t he be even more hospitable?

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Siu stood up from his seat with a bright smile.

If you want to rest, it’s right to move as soon as you think of it when you feel like you’re resting endlessly.

He got out of bed and immediately left the room.

The destination was the royal castle.

“Ah.”

Claudia Rubelstone couldn’t believe it.

How can he meet again at the same place he met for the first time as soon as he returns?

“Oh, Claudia.”

“Oh, hello…”

It’s cute how he awkwardly nods his head and says hello.

I still have tanned skin with a tan color, so I strongly feel that way.

“How have you been doing?”

“Yes yes.”

“Haha. I haven’t seen your face a few times, so it’s still awkward?”

Siu Han smiles and taps his elbow in an intimate manner.

Claudia found it very burdensome.

However, it was not easy to dispel an attitude that must have come from good intentions.

Of course, the reality was different.

‘Hehe, that’s fun. The reactions of the sisters are very similar.’

Siwoo was genuinely enjoying her trouble and awkwardness.

“I am curious to meet you here again.”

“Huh?! That’s right…!”

Her quivering eyes.

In the meantime, it seems to be heading to the side.

‘What?’

Siu checked the signboard of hers she was glancing at, and possibly her store where she had just left. When I first met her, I couldn’t confirm it because I was in a hurry to say hello and the pleasure of meeting her, but it was a good opportunity.

“Ah, now, wait…!”

“Oh?”

[Dive Bookstore]

Looking at it now, it was quite an unexpected place.

“Did you buy the book?”

“Yes? No, that, …Yes.”

“You seem to like books? You come here almost once a month.”

“That, that’s…”

“Can I see what you bought?”

That wasn’t a question.

Siu, even as she was talking to her, had already approached Claudia and snatched the book she was holding dearly in her arms. The expression was the same, but it was no different from stealing it.

“Ah…”

Claudia, who couldn’t resist much and was robbed of the book in vain.

I try to ignore her expression and check the book.

“…”

“No, this is…”

〈You can do it too! How to succeed from a family that even a commoner can do Vol.8 -Margarita Edition-〉

It was the name of the book Claudia was holding.

‘In the meantime, is it volume 8?’

I wonder how many more books there are after this, but I also wonder what books she bought when we first met her. Was it book 7 or was it another book? It seems likely that it is a different book for some reason. Still, maybe that wasn’t a book similar to this one.

“Hmm, is this your favorite writer?”

Claudia’s expression brightened when Siwoo asked without a hint of ridicule.

Not like a tanning bully.

In fact, after knowing his identity, he didn’t show any bullying looks.

“Yes, yes! That’s right!”

“Hey, what is it about?”

“This is a book that analyzes self-made heroes from all continents. Contrary to the title, it is really systematic and logical. Living people interviewed themselves and published the contents, and just…”

Claudia talking excitedly.

Siu nodded his head and listened to her story.

If you keep standing in front of the bookstore, it will interfere with business, so we walked together to the castle.

Just listening to Claudia’s words, it seems like a best-selling biography that is very interesting, scientific, and even philosophical, but it wasn’t at all what Siwoo glanced at. As the title suggests, it was a self-development book that captivated young people with emotional arms.

‘It’s funny that he dragged heroes and not his own story. Doesn’t this amount to defamation?’

Honor is more important on this side than on Earth.

The funny thing was that the interview was actually included.

“Is it Margarita?”

Hearing Siwoo’s muttering, Claudia was taken aback for a moment.

“That, Siwoo-sama? But I’m a Springfield fan or something…”

“Huh? Ah, I know, I know. I can’t believe that.”

“Hehe, thank you for trusting me.”

Claudia’s concern was understandable.

Archmage Margarita.

Full name Margarita Springfield.

As one of the leading wizards on the continent, she is a member of the royal family of Springfield, the kingdom of magic that has an ambiguous relationship with Palania.

To be precise, she was the aunt of the current king of Springfield, that is, a person from the previous war and a pan-continental hero who played an active part in the war against the demons. She was about 40 years ago, and even during World War 3, she participated as a famous wizard, so she deserves to know her age.

“It can’t be helped if it’s Margarita-sama. She retired a long time ago anyway.”

“That’s right. I was wondering if an illustration or photo would be included in the interview, but it was unfortunate.”

“Okay?”

Among the cultural artifacts spread from the other world, cameras and printing also spread a lot.

Video recording was replaced by magic, but cameras remained mechanical on Earth, and printing technology made books generally cheaper. There were several problems in the process of spreading in the early days, but I don’t know that much.

“It’s the kingdom of magic. I’ll be going next month, so maybe I can see it?”

“Come to think of it, you said you were visiting Springfield.”

“Yeah. But how did you know?”

“…Um, I heard from my mother.”

“Okay?”

Siwoo tilted his head and decided to skip it.

“I’m also curious about Margarita-sama. It’s been a long time since she hasn’t appeared publicly. I think the last one was 10 years ago.”

I heard that he participated in the last great war of the first playthrough.

However, since the battlefield was so wide and being a wizard was originally a rearguard job, I couldn’t see it in the end.

“When are you going to Springfield?”

“Next day.”

“Yes? No, that’s not it…”

“I’m kidding. There’s a lot to do here, so wouldn’t it take some time? We haven’t set an exact schedule yet. There’s something to coordinate with the magic tower over there.”

“Okay…”

Even though they are clearly walking side by side, Claudia looks more to the side than to the front.

In addition, since he kept talking about the kingdom of magic, his intention was obvious.

It wasn’t difficult to take him, but Siu avoided the topic as he might actually be able to meet Margarita, and he might be able to accompany Claudia when they meet. It’s hard to say because it’s a matter that hasn’t been confirmed yet.

‘It’s better to talk about it after it’s done than to make people have high expectations.’

“Ah. I’ll return this.”

“Ugh, yes.”

“Who else is there?”

“Yes?”

“If this is eight books, there won’t be any other books.”

Claudia’s complexion, which had been depressed since she hadn’t said to go with her, brightened.

In Siwoo’s eyes, the book was just a trickster, but to her, it was a huge treasure, and she liked it just because he was interested in her. Thanks to that, she was able to change the topic easily.

But he soon frowned.

“Volume 7 was Dong Bang Chung Ha!”

“…That person?”

“Yes?”

“Oh, sorry. Personally, I don’t like him.”

“Yes…”

Claudia didn’t understand.

As far as she knows, there is no contact between Siwoo and Dongbangcheongha.

Even when she went to the Cheonan Empire’s New Year’s party, she did not hear that she had met him.

She could have met secretly, but if she showed up at the party, news would have reached Palania. That’s because the S-class male warrior of the Cheonan Empire, Dong Bang Cheong-ha, is currently in hiding. It’s much shorter than Margarita’s, but it’s been a long time since this one didn’t show up.

‘I know you’re from a different world… What’s going on?’

Claudia’s question was legitimate.

Yes, the reason why Siwoo hated him was because of the first playthrough.

‘One of those damn bastards. If Michael is a traitor, it’s because he didn’t even show up during the final war to ask the East.’

No wonder rumors circulate that he died during lung training.

Siwoo also respected Dongbangcheongha until then.

He was an SS rank in the first round, and he was a strong warrior who was ranked among the top five warriors.

He was always at the forefront of fighting demons on any battlefield, but he went into hiding at some point and didn’t show up at all after that. It is the same in this world, so it is said that the expectations of the Cheonan Empire were very high at the time.

The peculiarity is that in this world, his retirement has become faster.

‘That person might have a reason for something, but until he knows the reason, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t like it.’

Next time he gets a surprise from the Cheonan Empire, he’ll ask me to meet him.

Siwoo was curious about Dongbangcheongha’s situation to the extent that he even thought about it.

“It’s all here.”

As he talked about it, he arrived in front of the royal castle before he knew it.

“Ah…”

Claudia involuntarily let out a sigh at those words.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a pleasant experience, but I’m so sorry.

Until now, no one had ever taken a deep interest in the books he was reading.

‘It’s still a secret from her mother and her sister.’

“Claudia as the Royal Guard?”

“Yes, my mother called me.”

“Okay, I think I’ll be going today or tomorrow, so I’ll see you then.”

“Yes…”

“Oh, and.”

“…?”

Claudia, who was about to turn around with drooping shoulders, stopped at his call.

When I raised my head, Siwoo said with a bright smile.

“Did I tell you? Not Siwoo-sama.”

“…Brother-in-law.”

“Haha, yes. Or oppa is good too.”

“…Then should I call you brother?”

“Huh? I’m fine.”

When Siwoo laughed, Claudia also smiled at him.

Han Si-woo leaves in a hurry saying that he has an appointment with the Minister of Finance.

Claudia looked at his back and remembered her sister.

‘Me too… If I become as strong as my sister, will I be able to join Siwoo’s or her brother’s party?’

“…”

He takes out the book he was holding in his arms.

Apparently, the author of this book said that he lives in an empire.

‘Let’s send a letter to the author. I want my brother to be the main character for the next 16 books!’

Claudia Rubelstone, a naive female knight with an outward appearance.

It was going to be a very long time before she put down her self-help book.
