Chapter 240.2. The Outcome of Mob’s Fight Doesn’t Affect The Event

“Te-ter-rei, choco parfait~”

I take out a delicious-looking chocolate parfait from my item box and decide to use -Fight-.

For some reason, when it comes to parfaits, I can choose -Fight-. Maybe it’s destined for Mii-chan’s opponent.

“Alright then, let’s collect them!”

“Don’t leave even a single small gold behind, okay?”

That’s just unreasonable.

In the collapsing cave, a surreal scene unfolds as a beautiful girl eats her chocolate parfait and gathers scattered gems.

Ultimately, thanks to Frigg-oneesan’s insistence on not leaving even a single gold behind, I collect treasures until the very last moment. After that, I manage to escape the cave with relief.

“Ah~ I can see the light outside.”

The dungeon isn’t popular, and everyone must have escaped already. The lonely mob like me has also escaped.

“Well then, I’m going.”

“Sure. See you later.”

Using [Stealth], Frigg-oneesan disappears.

“Chichichichi.”

I return Ant-san too, “See you later.”.

“I’ll be on my way too.”

“Hold on.”

As the skull bounces around, trying to escape, I grab it by the horns.

“Do you think you can escape? And why are you still alive? Well, in this case, you’re technically dead.”

“When becoming a sacrifice, I split my soul and left it in the skull. Lich is skilled in techniques like soul division. However, thanks to this, I no longer have much power. Just let me go. I have no intention of joining in the fight between monsters. I’m fed up. I swear I won’t reveal your identity to anyone.”

“No. You’ve done plenty of bad things, haven’t you? After I hear your story, I’ll destroy you.”

“Do you think you can just blabber on after hearing the story? How foolish!”

[Flame]

Flames spew out, causing me to drop the skull, and Aegir laughs.

“Kukukuka! Let me tell you. We will never meet again! Farewell!”

[Teleport]

“Ah! Wait, you!”

He must have left behind some mana. With a wicked laugh, Aegir disappears.

Tch, I missed him. Well, his level was back to 1, so I guess I’ll leave him be. I’ll annihilate him if I encounter him again.

I shrug my shoulders and exit the cave.

As I squint my eyes at the bright sunlight, I step outside. Yamiyo and others are waiting with worried expressions.

“Mii-sama, are you okay?”

“We were worried. We were about to go help.”

I’m tightly embraced by Yamiyo, and Tamamo strokes my head. Hoku-chan and the others gather with relieved expressions.

Seems like I worried them. I’m sorry.

“Sorry, sorry. Is everyone alright? What happened after that?”

Apologizing, I observe the surroundings. Students are surrounding Shin, chatting excitedly.

“Thanks to Shin-san’s efforts, we managed to repel the enemy. However, it seems they caused the dungeon to collapse to prevent pursuit.”

“We also did our part. Unfortunately, the Annal managed to escape.”

Sena informs me with a serious expression, and the pompous Masatoshi tells me with a proud face.

“Hmm… It was all thanks to Shin-kun?”

“Sure. After Mii-sama chased after Aegir and got lost, Kanna Shin used powerful magic we’d never seen before and defeated most of the enemies with impressive martial arts.”

“I see!”

It seems Mi-chan got treated as lost when chasing after Aegir. Well, she’s Mii-chan, who’s an air-head, so it can’t be helped.

“Shin! You’re amazing, way too strong!”

“Have you understood that onii-san is strong?”

“Well, after all, he’s my fiancé.”

“That’s not it. It’s thanks to everyone’s combined efforts.”

With a refreshing smile, Shin responds humbly.

Observing his attitude, it seems his classmates are growing fond of him.

Upon checking the main story, it was marked as cleared. It just says -Cleared- with a single line.

What could that mean? It seems to relate to Sena’s side of the story. Shin isn’t the main character.

Yet it’s marked as cleared, and he’s becoming popular.

But you know, I do think that clearing it has brought about some invisible effects.

I sense an intention to tamper with this branching point.

The major branching point the Spatial Witch said was unchangeable. Yet it feels like a powerful force is trying to change even that.

If it’s combined with Volume 4’s story, most of the first-years will express gratitude and have a positive impression of Shin.

The flow is shifting. But I don’t intend to let things go smoothly.

At the very least, Mii-chan’s actions have had an impact.

“Hey, Menou Marquisate’s technology isn’t useful, huh?”

“Yeah, we need to tell Father to sell the shares right away.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“What’s going to happen from now on…”

Although few, some of the students are whispering to each other. Even if they treated Mii-chan as an air, the scene where Menou Marquisate’s revolutionary particles got neutralized remains in their memories.

Perhaps I can’t distort things that only have an impact instantly, but I can distort things that will have consequences later.

So, there will likely be substantial consequences.

Now, while thinking about what to do next, Mii-chan begins her journey back.

I feel I’m forgetting something, but maybe it’s just my imagination. Well, right now, I have to find a way to destroy this thing called Fate.

I think I can resolve Fate with people’s money and power. Get ready. Because I’ll probably scribble on the script even more.

Mii-chan doesn’t understand Fate. She only knows “Ta-da-da-daan.”.

On another day, in someone’s home.

“Garasha, your taste in interior decor is terrible…”

“I like it! It makes a nice sound when you hit it!”

Some young girl somewhere has acquired a skull-like interior decoration that a dog was carrying.
