1. return (One)

“Bong, Gongja. Time to get up.”

“… … what?”

A familiar young voice.

As I barely open my heavy eyes, a girl in a maid uniform trembles and makes eye contact with me.

Light pink hair that fell to her shoulders.

And red eyes that stand out as much as the familiar pink hair.

A beautiful appearance that would be believed even if it was a high-ranking daughter of an aristocratic family somewhere.

Even so, rather than being pretty, a girl who thinks of cute first.

Cale, who was staring at her face, blurted out the girl’s name.

“… … Ciella?”

“Four, yes!”

When I muttered her name, the embarrassed Ciela chewed her tongue and answered.

I don’t know why, but it looks like it’s military.

Until a few days ago, he was a kid who joked with me without hesitation.

no no.

Obviously, Ciella-

dead?

If so, did he also die and come to the underworld?

I thought it was like that for a moment, but suddenly a headache swallowed my head.

sticky.

“Keugh.”

Also something is weird.

It’s not a simple headache, it’s a strangely unpleasant headache that seems to swallow your head.

And the strong alcohol scent felt all over the body.

The not-so-good-headed guess was simple and clear.

‘… … Is it a hangover?’

Hangover.

I’m not sure when was the last time I drank alcohol.

hangover?

In the first place, after he reached the level of a sword master, he had never had such trivial headaches.

Knowing how to handle auras from ancient times is the same as making your physical abilities twice as strong.

It was rather strange to have such a trivial headache.

There is no way to resolve the question, so let’s frown.

Ciela opened her mouth again.

“Gong, it’s Gongja… … . Do you remember that the head of the household asked you to join us for breakfast today?”

“My lord?”

“yes. The head of the household.”

what are you talking about

… … Am I going?

Come to think of it, Siela had been calling me Confucius rather than the head of the family since earlier.

now i see

My face seems to look more youthful than before.

“Ooh, I prepared cold water first… … You just have to eat it and prepare it slowly.”

A voice that is clearly dejected.

No, being dead is also dead, but it must be a subtly different feeling.

The emotion that was buried in that voice.

It was obvious, fear.

It’s a moment to feel doubt.

Holding my throbbing head in one hand, I accepted the glass of water and nodded.

“uh… … . okay. thanks.”

“… … !”

After saying that, Ciella trembled once again.

Something strange… … familiar response.

It was similar to the appearance of Ciela, who was used to Cale, who was Bing’s ‘sh*t’ in the early days.

I was about to drink the glass of water given to me by Siela without thinking, but when I saw the reflection in it, I was startled.

My face reflected in the clear water. It’s definitely because it’s been a few years.

I was a little nervous because my physical condition was not very good.

this. definitely got harder

‘… … It’s not like I’m doing something like an anti-romantic ghost from martial arts.’

Even if such a thing existed in the first place, I was not old enough to experience it.

As I began to think of oddities one by one, the situation began to sort itself out.

Aren’t you used to the current situation?

I’ve never drank alcohol, but I get a hangover that stabs my head out of nowhere.

Breakfast that the head of household asked me to participate in.

The maid, Ciella, who is clearly afraid of me.

“… … ah.”

okay.

The first day I was possessed by this novel.

It was exactly the same situation as back then.

As if it had returned to the past.

‘… … Are you back?’

To the first day of Bing?

* * *

“Kale. You are late.”

“yes. It’s a little late, my lord.”

“All right, sit down.”

With my head pounding from a hangover, I pulled out a chair and sat down at the table.

I washed it once so that it wouldn’t smell like alcohol.

There was no way it wouldn’t show off just because it was like that.

At a glance, the head of the house, sensing that I had been drinking yesterday, opened her mouth.

“Tsk. Didn’t I tell you a few days ago? If you are truly the successor to Reinhardt, show an attitude worthy of him.”

Duke Reinhardt.

It was a prestigious family with a long history that had existed since the establishment of the empire.

It’s hard to imagine that an idiot like me could become a family head.

This word is a little bit different.

Before I became possessed, Kayle was literally an asshole.

A third-rate extra who, when stressed, relieves it by drinking alcohol and always runs around while drunk.

… … The fact that I drank so much alcohol today.

At the banquet held a few days ago, you said it was because you were publicly humiliated by the first prince.

1st prince.

A man who will become the crown prince in the future and rise to the position of emperor of the empire in the distant future.

… … And the man who stole Elena.

Evan Beatus.

When I said nothing, Cale’s mother, Duchess Lyanna, spoke.

“It doesn’t take a day or two to damage the family’s honor, so it’s okay. Anyway, when are you going to come to your senses?”

At first glance, it sounds like a cold voice, but what you can feel inside is warm concern.

I just felt that Cale, who went astray even with such a family, was amazing.

“sorry.”

As I quickly put the apple into my mouth, Duchess Liana flinched.

The attitude of not knowing that such a sincere apology would return.

Even the family head didn’t know how to take her eyes off me, as if she didn’t know I would say that.

her.

This response, it’s been a while.

Well, if it was the original Kayle, I would have played a game here. Who are you to teach me?

Cale von Reinhardt in the original work was, as I said before, an idiot.

Trash that looks like a painting that even curses at my family.

okay. The original Cale was an asshole.

The first time I possessed it, I made a lot of noise trying not to become like him.

At the end of my story, I met the same ending as him.

In Elena’s life, I’d just be a villain who rebelled.

And even with the slightly more vicious title of ex-boyfriend.

“Kuh, hahahaha.”

Holding my throbbing hair in my hand, I let out a small self-deprecating laugh.

Even though I thought Kayle of the original was so pathetic… … .

In the end, it was because I was like an idiot after facing the same end as him.

Seeing that laugh, the Duchess said my name with a questionable face.

“… … Kale?”

“sorry. I think I’m a little less drunk. I will be more careful in the future.”

“… … ! that, yes It’s okay. If your head hurts a lot, it might be okay to just go in.”

“yes. I’m sorry, but let’s go in first. Enjoy your meal, everyone.”

At this point, I’m just an idiot, so it would only be uncomfortable if I sat at a table.

Even if it’s not uncomfortable over there, I’m uncomfortable.

Even if it wasn’t that, I still had a lot of confusion in my head, so I needed some time to sort things out.

I made eye contact with Gazoo, bowed my head, and left the restaurant.

all right

What is the reaction of this family… … Even in the first round, it was boring.

put it behind

Anyway, when I staggered to the room, I saw a maid who was cleaning up the traces I had left after drinking.

“Ciella.”

“Hick. Go, Gongja?”

In the future, I would always wear a smile instead of a shy expression like that.

It will take a little longer to see that face again.

still… … I was satisfied with not dying and being able to see my face again, so I decided not to think too much.

“That you’ve already come back… … ?”

“I said I’d go in first because of a hangover.”

“oh… … You did.”

The words seemed to understand, but the eyes did not believe at all.

He seems to think that he heard what the householder said during the meal and ran away after punching him.

Does not matter.

To think about that now… … Because I was so upset.

“Will you go out for a while? Until lunchtime, no one is allowed in my room.”

“… … yes!”

Squeak!

Soon after, the door closed and I sat down on the bed, confirming that Ciela’s steps were moving away.

“… … ha.”

It made me possess a novel and eventually made me fall in love with Elena.

I hated that god so much.

I got this chance again, so I should say thank you for this.

Or should I continue to resent it?

Whatever happened… … What I had to do in the future was decided.

“I get away from Elena. ASAP.”

Now that she’s returned to the past, shouldn’t she be more careful not to lose her to the crown prince?

It would have been a lie if I hadn’t developed such a shallow mind.

Because that was the story of a new opportunity.

Because it was an opportunity to continue a new relationship again.

however. but quickly gave up.

What could be more foolish than trying to hold on to a woman who has lost his mind?

And, it was said that Elena fell in love with the prince the moment she first met him.

If you recite a sentence from the novel.

[The moment our eyes met, it seemed that the world was filled with beautiful colors.

My chest rises softly.

It seemed that the world had become blurred, and that only she and the crown prince were left in this world.”

In other words, it was love at first sight.

I thought that if I filled her heart with me, that wouldn’t happen.

Don’t you know because you’ve been through it before?

Hopeless.

Even if I tried to hold onto it, I couldn’t catch it, and now I just have to throw away my lingering feelings.

Not being able to let go of the lingering feelings after dying once is like being an asshole.

“Then, let’s finish it.”

Anyway, the only thing that binds him and Elena now is the strategic engagement.

Even I, who has the image of an idiot now, is a political marriage without any weight that can be remedied with a few requests to the family head.

In the previous episode, I didn’t break the arranged marriage with the thought of seeing each other’s face just once.

It was a burden for the count’s family to file a marriage breakup with the duke’s family, so it continued as it was.

Also, if we ask for a breakup, the Rayholton family will agree.

A young lady who grew up as precious as the golden jade leaf of Count Ray Holton’s family. Because it was Elena.

On the contrary, I was close to an idiot who would not have my image even if he gave it to me.

Either way, it will be a win-win outcome.

The excuse to break up the marriage… … .

okay.

‘I have someone I like.

* * *

smart.

The butler who knocked on the door asked in a worried voice.

“miss. Why are you like that? If you’re not feeling well, I’ll call a priest from the temple right away.”

“sorry. Sorry… … butler. Can you leave me alone for today?”

“… … All right. Then, I’ll leave the meal at the door. Please eat it this time. You don’t eat anything and you get really sick.”

less so

The butler, who placed the warmly prepared meal at the door, said that while cleaning out the already cold meal.

“… … okay. I’ll eat… … .”

It is the first time I have heard the voice of the lady serving me, full of sorrow.

Beneath that voice was a subtle rebuke, self-loathing, and hatred.

A gloomy appearance that cannot be easily guessed.

what the hell is this

Elena de Reyholton.

The eldest daughter of the Ray Holton family, who was called the flower of society because she never lost her smile under any circumstances.

Such a social flower had been moaning in her room for a week, losing her smile.

The butler, who was locked in worry about her, immediately turned around.

And by the time he gets farther away.

In the quiet room, a low cry leaked out.

“Hey, . . . … Whoops.”

-Care your heart, Elena. I know that I can’t control my emotions after recalling memories, but I need to calm down for now.

“… … how am i Having done such a thing, trampled Cale’s heart… … How am I?”

Spirit of time, Chrono.

As if she was in trouble, he patted Elena, who was shedding tears in his arms.

I didn’t become a time spirit to play the role of a babysitter like this.

however. Recalling memories of the future and caring for a contractor in pain… … .

It must be the task of the spirit of time who is the only one who shares that memory.

-In the end, wasn’t it your will? The spring of time has been wound. Instead of blaming yourself, think of making atonement for him. or not. Are you going to pretend not to know him at all and live your life?

“no… … It’s a selfish thought. I don’t think I can.”

How painful it must have been to live in a world without Cale.

In a world where he doesn’t smile. How meaningless it was to be alive in that cold world, where neither his scent nor his warmth left anything.

That I, who abandoned him, now love him again.

It was a terrible, selfish thought.

– First of all, calm down. Elena. Atonement, revenge. Everything can only be done if you wake up.

“plural… … okay. Revenge, I must.”

It destroys my thoughts and feelings.

He manipulated the memories he had with him and his love.

In the end, the one I let go of the lover I love with my own hands.

brainwashed me–

To that goddamn, imperial sun.

Chrono was at least relieved when he saw the hatred in Elena’s eyes.

Since ancient times, anger has been the driving force that inspires people.

It’s by no means a good power source, but it’s a hundred times better than indulging in self-reproach.

Chrono, who was looking at his contractor who gritted his teeth, stroked Elena’s head.

Elena, who put her head in the touch for a while, said.

“Chrono.”

– Why however, the contractor?

“As expected, Cale couldn’t get his memory back, right?”

– Probably. Because it is right that memories be erased unless you reach the extreme of magic and become a being that is slightly out of causality or a being that does not belong to this world.

“… … Yes, it will.”

If he thinks he forgot himself.

I was so sad that my heart felt like it was going to crash,

It might be better for him.

The terrible past where she threw a dagger into his chest.

I’ll stay again, so I won’t hold his chest tight.

this life.

While living that life of atonement.

Even at the cost of this insignificant life, I will definitely protect him.

So, Elena made a commitment once again.
