Chapter 290 – Great Madness (2)
“No, you want me to submit the thesis in my name?!”
Dana screamed at Hi Romain’s unconventional move.
It’s a rare thing for my older sister, but it was actually worth it.
Oh my God, it has no choice but to be like that!
I can understand professors stealing other people’s papers—I absolutely don’t mean to forgive—but I never thought that there would be people who would give their papers to someone who wasn’t even my undergraduate student.
‘Does this make sense?’
A professor giving the thesis written by Ji to someone else?
Isn’t this a fucking contradiction in the universe?
Einstein, who created the cosmological constant while causing cognitive dissonance in his theory, must have felt like this. I felt an indescribable surprise and even fear.
“Oh, that’s a great idea! I’ll help too!”
Alice clapped seals as she wondered what was exciting about High Romain’s proposal that was beyond common sense.
I am now beginning to feel some kind of microcosmic distance between the research-crazed female professor and the love-crazed homosexual graduate student.
─Goooooh!!
Of course, the professor slayer inside me also fell into chaos.
I can really feel the fluctuating mana of the Old God. Shit, do you understand what it feels like to have an upset stomach? Lehu I didn’t want to know either.
I still feel like I can’t figure out the end of this world.
“Oh, no. How did I steal the professor’s thesis…”
Surprisingly, Dana made a gesture of resignation.
Not!! I can rip off the thesis from the professor, but he refuses!!
The thesis is copied!! Do you not understand the situation? I was in a hurry, but Dana only sent me a cold look.
For some reason, I know what the glance means.
─If the thesis is taken away by a losing professor, is it okay for a squeamish bastard to steal someone else’s thesis?
Maybe that’s what it means? Looking into your eyes, it seems right. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a 100% contemptuous look.
Fucked up!
‘This shit! I’m going to hate Nunna like this!’
Of course, aside from whether Dana actually thinks that way, she’s not wrong. Naeronambul is not something a forager would do.
So I quickly picked up the horse and served.
[This clumsy older sister! Think about it! If my sister doesn’t accept the thesis, I don’t know when Hi Romain will publish a thesis on the same topic! Then, what if that person gets caught in 〈 Compilation Battalion 〉!]
[… Ah.]
[After receiving the thesis, you can think about whether to submit it or not! With a little brains, it might be possible to use it as a trap to lure 〈 Compilation Battalion 〉 offspring!]
When I gave the 2nd and 3rd reasons, Dana also changed her complexion.
Yes, the most important reason is to get a trophy for the achievement of tearing a thesis from a professor, but the second and third reasons cannot be ignored either.
It’s an excuse not an excuse. In a sense, it is poking at the core.
‘I have to take this one way or another!’
It is also possible to submit a thesis anonymously.
When there is a lecture at a conference, hide your identity and submit it, and let’s say that we cut off the guy who came to us while staying in a secluded place.
If that were the case, it would be possible to make it into an information vending machine by inverting the visits of the youngsters who thought they were the absolute best.
Of course, it is not yet known whether Nukelaby’s thesis will press the seizure switch of 〈 Compilation Battalion 〉.
However, if what Nukelabi said was something that would upset the Red Guards of that other world, it would not be right for Hyromain to give me the thesis.
After persuading him, Dana also hurriedly spoke up.
“School, Professor? That, please! Of course, when the performance money comes out, I will send it to the professor!”
“Fufu, there’s nothing like that. Ah! Can you please drop my name from the list of co-authors? If I do, will the dean scold me?”
From my point of view, the reason why Hi Romain is poor is not because Ulster research is not good enough. It’s obvious that it’s because his personality is the type of person who will only live with losses for the rest of his life.
With that thought in mind, I gestured to Veronica again.
[Hey, Alice. Can you hear me?]
【Yeah? Ah yes.】
【Do not talk long. If you don’t want to see your boss seriously hurt, listen carefully.]
I reconnected my mind with Veronica’s rune and briefly informed the existence of 〈 Compilation Battalion 〉.
Alice’s face hardened, then she nodded.
【Is Ulster research dangerous?】
【Uh. Maybe.】
Even though I published a thesis on Beast Recursion and Hyromain’s research became quite famous, nothing happened.
At least the ancient civilized country of Erinn seemed out of their jurisdiction.
【Be careful though. Whether or not to inform the professor, you should think carefully before deciding.]
【… Yes. Thanks for letting me know!】
It is a risk that all archaeologists are aware of and unaware of.
〈 Compilation Battalion 〉 wouldn’t kill anyone, but there’s no one like an archaeologist who wouldn’t be surprised if he died somewhere in the ruins of Ammon. It is easy to destroy evidence, but the possibility of avoiding murder is low.
Hi Romain, who exchanged addresses with Dana, said goodbye to us.
“I will send it to you when it is finished. Then everyone! Thank you so much!”
“Goodbye!”
“Goodbye!”
Hee hee-!
After Victoire’s greeting, the carriage left.
A bizarre professor who contradicts the world, Cerzanne Hyromain.
And her unicorn Alice.
Meeting with them caused a great upheaval in my view of professors and graduate students, but their personalities and behavior were unmistakably good.
Will there ever come a utopia full of professors and graduate students like that in this other world?
It is unknown. I just dream of that day and raise my degree level.
‘Fuck it, I want to wear a master’s silver medal too.’
Anyway, having said goodbye to High Romain and the others, we prepared to go find the magic circle in the forest.
I figured out the location, so I’ll just have to take some time off and go. I stretched out once to soothe the regret of parting and called Dana.
“Snow. Come and see.”
“Yes? Oh yeah. I was going to call you, too.”
Nunna, who blinked, looked at me as if asking why.
I just handed over the gift I had received from the chief.
“Receive. I took it because I thought you might need it.”
Korean married men special) tsundere.
Me, who imitates the way my father gave something to my mother and pretends to be a jerk. Dana blinked and looked down at the gauntlet I gave her.
“… Did you take this for me?”
“Uh. A trade that was used in the past when using magic without a [Witchcraft tattoo]. You hate having tattoos on your skin. They say it has some magic in it, but it must be more useful to you than to me.”
Like Hiromain did, the art of imprinting magic with tattoos must be Ulster’s culture.
However, Dana, who has been interested in the outside world since childhood, said that she did not like tattoos or exposure culture, so she escaped from her hometown before the coming-of-age ceremony.
So she said that most of the skills she learned as a druid could not be used because she had no tattoos.
All that can be used is the undead extermination technique through the star sign, shield, and heal.
Dana does not learn the magic of the wizard guild. It would be nice to learn new magic through this. It’s because it’s a situation where strengthening our party’s strength has become an urgent priority.
Coincidentally, Dana’s equipment is also a gauntlet.
“… Hey. Why didn’t something like this happen before?”
Dana hesitated as if she hadn’t even thought of my present.
I blinked her eyes at what I was talking about, then Dana sighed and then she held out her belt to me. It was something she hadn’t seen before, but it was a sharp-looking brown belt.
“What is this?”
“What the fuck. I took it out to give you.”
“… You want to give it to me?”
It was then that I realized what Dana meant.
In the past, at some kind of university in Germania, we both looked for slippers that fit each other’s feet before putting on our own, but the same thing happened this time too.
“Huh, no, that… Huh true.”
When I was embarrassed and couldn’t control my expression, Dana also turned her head away. Wouldn’t it be better to pretend not to know that her earlobes are red?
“That’s an artifact that increases poison resistance. If it weren’t for Professor Hi Romain while fighting Nukelaby this time, I would have almost inhaled poison gas.”
“Ah, yes. It did. It was.”
“I’m not always by your side, and even though you’re strong, being poisoned is another story. I don’t want to see my husband get sick without me, so I wear it well. Don’t go bragging.”
“Yes.”
Like a couple who’d been dating for a day, we couldn’t even look at each other, hide our faces, or dig the floor with our feet.
“Oh shit, sister. I’m so ashamed What are you going to do with this, huh?”
“Don’t bother talking, you bastard. Who is not ashamed? I tried to secretly take care of the baby after a while, but the atmosphere is getting worse.”
Dana just rubbed the floor with her boots. Whoever sees it will know that it draws a magic circle.
And if you see him hugging the gauntlet I gave you, you won’t be able to see it.
Wow, I never knew exchanging gifts could be such an embarrassing thing. I put a belt on my giant leather armor bottom to break the awkward atmosphere.
─Click.
The belt is either in another world or on Earth. After being kicked to the waist, Dana confirmed the wearing shot by only rolling her eyes.
“… Well, I just want to see It seemed like a good fit.”
“The one I gave you is combat equipment, so it’s no use asking me to put it on. Let me know how to wear it later.”
“What about the feeling of wearing it? If you fight together, you will have a chance to use magic. … Anyway I go I will write well.”
I flirted with Dana, who was trying to run away with a wave of her hand.
“Heh. Where are you going, my sister? Let’s just stay together.”
“Oh, fuck off. Don’t chase Because dogs are sold.”
I’m chasing you to be embarrassing, but what? I giggled and chatted with Dana, whose mouth was hanging over my ears.
Because even these sweet and sour moments are part of married life.
***
After making proper preparations, we entered the forest.
“Here you go.”
I knew the location through a preliminary investigation, so there was no need to get lost.
When I went to the spot where the bird I had hired was spinning around, Veronica immediately disarmed her. Inside her was the moving magic circle that Tir Sirang had seen before.
Light was leaking from the magic circle. Appearance in a fully charged state.
Go upstairs and if Veronica activates her magic circle, she will be able to travel to the Holy Land at any time.
“Veronica. Can we all ride this?”
“Don’t find out. Please wait there for a moment.”
Up to this point, anyone can enter as long as the barrier is lifted.
However, in order to move 〈 〈 spaces to the Holy Land with the effect of the magic circle, they said that they had to possess rune mana. At my words, Veronica began examining the magic circle carefully.
─Swipe.
Veronica investigates by adding the knowledge about the magic circle she learned in human society and the tips she learned from the chieftain.
As if trying to draw a stroke of a similar magic circle on her floor or joking her memory, she nodded her head a moment later.
“Hmm. It’s the first time I’ve analyzed the principles like this, but if we’re skin-to-skin on this, we can transfer together.”
“Skin?”
“It seems like you can wear it with your hands. It seems that Shinma-sama had no intention of stopping our clan from bringing someone in, even if they blocked unauthorized people.”
“That’s right. Fran, Dana. Come on.”
I gestured to the wives who had no rune mana.
“Lol.”
“No, you are not. You can just hold my hand.”
Fran did not hesitate for a second and took her in her arms, and Dana awkwardly hugged her while blushing. The embarrassment from earlier seemed to have lessened.
“Uh huh. Why is this sister like this? Then, if you are left here alone, wait a day or so in this dangerous forest.”
“Oh shit, don’t you clean your face? Bite off?”
Bounce. As we chatted, Lari Loura clung to Veronica, half-opening her eyes in discomfort.
“Veronica sister, look at that~. Except for her older sister, it’s all so sweet over there. Doesn’t your stomach hurt?”
“If it’s a boat, it hurts because you held it. It’s larilu Have you forgotten about my curse?”
“Aha~♡? Shall we go to that senior then?”
“… No. Stay here Tolerable.”
Veronica held on to her robe of Lalilura and she raised a staff made of flaming boughs.
“Then it will activate.”
─Thump!
As she lowered her wand, there was a flash of light similar to the previous one.
The surrounding landscape changed in an instant. We were transported to one of the holy places of bicorns, somewhere in a second.
“… Cliff?”
Dana, who was held in my arms, murmured curiously, then quickly fell off before noticing my gaze.
Anyway, that’s how you show that you’ve been a virgin for less than half a year. Her husband was my older sister who pretended to be calm and thought she would die because she was cute.
“This is a cliff of a certain mountain range. I heard about it before while looking for rune stones, but it hasn’t changed.”
After removing Ralilura, Veronica looked around and said.
Then, with no motion, he lit her wand on fire and yelled at it.
【It’s Veronica Eclipsis!! Are you in Adelaide——!!]
The sound echoed through the cliff as if it had been shouted into a loudspeaker.
With a voice that could be heard even under the valley if there were no barriers, the bicorn, which called out its name, revealed its gigantic body.
─Thump, thump.
【You can hear it even if you don’t scream so deafeningly, you fledgling prophet.】
It’s a gigantic bicorn that’s second only to the Nukelaby. With one of her horns broken, she turned to her eyes, which seemed intelligent to me.
【Welcome, great gun of chaos.】
