What Happens When The Second Male Lead Powers Up [EN]: Chapter 607

Sub-Male Lead’s Hiatus – Episode 607

#607

Interpreter and Tracker (5)

“……Yes?”

Who’s ambushing where?

“What… What are you talking about, Commander?”

“It would be beneficial for Sir Schu to take refuge with them as well. Anyone can see that you are the one who hid them in your home. Lord Haines has done something big.”

“You flatter me.”

“That’s not a compliment, sir. Where is Prince Yeser Venetian?”

Camille Bakari asked with an AI-like calm demeanor.

Now, the person speaking was more frightening than his words.

Hyeon Seo-chang’s phoenix also trembled.

“Wait, hold on. Just a moment.”

‘I’ll get him right away!’ I looked back and forth between the blanket burrito that was the Crown Prince and Herrit’s father, then quickly ran to the attic ladder.

It was still the Prince’s nap time, but I had no choice but to wake him up.

It felt like my eyes, which had adjusted to the dim light, were darkening again.

The GuGu’s, who had followed me diligently, climbed onto each rung of the ladder, their tails glowing roundly.

‘Thank you.’ Thanks to the firelight of the fire lizards, I was able to open the attic door safely without misstepping. Creak…

“Oops!”

And as soon as I witnessed the scene before me, I fell straight down!

I was horrified with my head buried.

The surprised GuGu’s tilted their tails to the left in unison. ‘What’s wrong, Princess?’ Their eyes seemed to ask.

A mix of crisis and embarrassment prevented my brain from working quickly.

I felt my cheeks burning and could only open and close my lips.

Just now, that… The Prince and, Gain… Uh…

“Was it an atmosphere I shouldn’t interrupt? Or should I? Should I interrupt?”

The GuGu’s tails tilted solemnly to the right this time.

It was as if they were saying, ‘What nonsense are you thinking again?’

No, I’m sure of what I saw!

“The situation is urgent, so I should just go in, right?”

“Come in, Yeser.”

“Oh, my!”

I couldn’t decide what to do, but then I heard a familiar voice from the attic.

I didn’t have time to hesitate, so I quickly opened the attic door.

As I peeked in timidly, Prince Yeser, who was sitting up in bed, came into view.

He had kicked off all the blankets and was covering Gain, who was lying down, with his own blanket.

Our protagonist was, of course, fast asleep.

Three red pandas were huddled together beside her, and it seemed like Ropi was being used as a heater, as the small ball of fur was wedged in the middle.

In the basket placed in the center, Tete, wrapped in swaddling clothes, was sound asleep.

The Prince smiled sweetly at me.

“Nothing you were worried about happened. I was just wiping away her drool.”

“Ah, drool…”

Drool. You wiped away the drool that Gain was drooling in her sleep.

“And I was laughing because the pillow marks on her face were funny.”

“……”

It wasn’t a long sentence, and there weren’t any difficult words, but I could clearly feel the sincerity in his words.

For some reason, I felt a tickling sensation in my chest.

I scratched my stomach several times, feeling as if I had swallowed a swarm of butterflies.

It was truly a peaceful sight, but unfortunately, this was not the time for this.

Unable to find the words to answer, I hurriedly told him what was going on.

“Prince, could you wake up Christel right away? We need to take refuge immediately.”

“……Take refuge? I thought the living room seemed noisy.”

“Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince will be barging in here soon. Your friend.”

“Ah.”

Then the Prince blinked in surprise.

His frozen hands looked awkward for the first time.

Within the unexpectedness, a faint sense of joy could be seen.

“Wow, I’m so sleepy.”

“Gain. Brush your teeth first. Then wash your face!”

“How can you brush your teeth three times a day, Princess? You’re such a model student. What if His Highness the Crown Prince barges in here and I swallow my toothbrush…”

“You’re too old to do that. I’ll pack the soap here.”

I put a toothbrush in Gain’s right hand and toothpaste in her left, and then ran around busily.

In the meantime, the Crown Prince, who had dried his shirt and put on his robe, was putting on his weapons for the last time.

The sturdy leather belt wrapped around his and Lord John’s thighs, and he bit down on his dagger.

Sir Schu was busy packing, even in the midst of the chaos—we were really grateful that he hadn’t fainted.

He took out several magical tools from the attic and stuffed a lot of magic stones into a large backpack.

Every drawer in the single-story house was wide open.

I hurriedly put my index finger in Tete’s mouth as he fussed that he was hungry.

Small ether beads sprang up and began to fill the baby’s belly.

“Good, you’re eating well.”

-Eung

“The GuGu brothers are merging, merging.”

-Swoosh, swoosh…!

The GuGu’s, who had numbered nearly ten, put their noses together and gathered back into one body.

As expected, the fewer the number of clones, the better for escaping.

Everyone moved nimbly in the dawn, as lighting a fire might alert the house next door.

Meanwhile, Camille was sitting on the sofa, just watching what we were doing.

He seemed to have a headache, but he declined all offers of warm tea or painkillers. He also explained that it was not a pain that could be treated with medicine.

“…I’m fine, so please explain. How did this happen?”

“Yes? Which part?”

There were so many areas where we caused trouble that I didn’t know where to start.

I threw all our traces into the fireplace and turned to look at him.

“I presume you’ve crossed over to another world, but that’s an extraordinary feat beyond my comprehension… Why did you steal our family’s sacred artifact?”

“Ah, it’s because I heard that I need it to return to my original world…! I’m really sorry. I unintentionally caused great harm to the Bakari family. I sincerely apologize.”

Oh, I hurriedly bowed in apology.

Then Camille got up from his seat with a troubled expression and bowed back.

Prince Yeser, who was folding laundry with the red pandas, looked at us with a puzzled look.

It couldn’t be helped. He still didn’t know that I was ‘Princess Juliet’.

‘She must have received a palace in that world,’ he probably thought.

“I have no attachment to my family or clan, and I don’t want to dig into the details of this incident. I just wanted to know the reason.”

The teenager answered stiffly. I quickly found him a glass of water and bread.

The Commander stared at it for a long time, then munched on an early breakfast.

I was worried because it was obvious that he had come hungry, but I was grateful that he ate well.

Then another important question flew in.

“Then how is Prince Yeser here?”

“…He decided to move with us.”

After much deliberation, I gave an honest answer, and Camille turned to look at the Prince with wide, blue-gray eyes.

The beauty whose gaze met his tilted her head. The teenager was finally horrified.

“Are you saying that he is an accomplice in his own kidnapping?”

“It’s not good to be confined to the Imperial Palace—”

“He was only banned from attending official events, and he was free to enter and exit private gatherings.”

“I know what you mean, but I don’t think the Prince has ever really been free.”

“……”

Then the Commander looked at Prince Yeser with a blank face.

The priest had already gotten up and was packing his things.

He picked up Leia with a fairly skillful hand and tied his shoelaces neatly without anyone’s help.

After putting on his robe, he quickly slung his luggage over his shoulder.

His bag, which he had inherited from Sir Schu’s old bag, was half the size of Gaga’s bag, but it contained all of his belongings.

A smile naturally formed at the sight of him looking like a full-fledged adventurer.

Camille sighed softly.

“…Then I will tell you my story. I’ll tell you briefly, so listen while you prepare.”

“Yes.”

I subtly pulled back the front door curtain to check the outside trends.

The bluish air was slowly putting on colorful clothes. The sun is rising.

“I have ‘downloaded’ the memories of our world.”

“Yes, there are no suspicious movements yet… Yes?!”

“Ehhh!?”

Gain and I exploded with punctuation marks at the same time.

She had already finished brushing her teeth and was about to put her feet into her boots when she fell to the side. Oops!

-Thud!

“Ouch! My toe! Ah, damn…!”

“Just ignore it, Camille. You can’t share that pain with others anyway.”

I quickly whispered to the prophet. He was flustered and moved his lips.

Regardless, I pushed the question.

“Downloaded, what does that mean?”

“Sigh, ha…”

“It’s exactly what it sounds like. It was thanks to the swamp and jungle you created near the Lake of White Magic. To be exact, it was because of the water that was collected there…”

The prophet glanced at Tete, who was wrapped in a blanket in my arms.

“When I approached, schools of sea fish suddenly jumped out of the swamp. Blue light poured out, and the smell of the sea vibrated from all directions.”

“……Yes?”

Uh? Did Tete do that much?

“Immediately after, I bled from my nose and experienced a brief fainting spell. When I opened my eyes, many memories came to mind like illustrations. However, the synchronization level is about 90%.”

“Wait a minute, ‘synchronization’?”

I had been shuddering at Camille’s choice of words since earlier.

He casually nodded his chin.

“It means that the memories of our world are not perfect. Thank you for your understanding.”

“Understanding, there’s nothing to understand or not. We’re just grateful to be receiving help. But how is that possible? Even if you were hit by the energy of pouring water with your whole body, the memories of that world and the memories of this world becoming one is completely—”

“Water is originally that kind of power, young man.”

I shuddered at Sir Schu’s words as he lifted the carpet.

She opened the wooden door hidden perfectly under the piece of cloth and took out several small pouches from inside.

Then he said indifferently.

“Even though I’m only a level 4 magician, I’ve been studying hard to help His Majesty the King’s research. Myths, legends, folk tales… I read everything related to the main god, regardless of whether it was unofficial or official history.”

“……”

“Throughout the history of the entire continent, water has always had that meaning. ‘Resurrection’, ‘connection’, ‘regeneration’.”

Noon closed the wooden door and shrugged.

“I don’t know exactly what you guys are talking about, but with the power of that cute divine beast, wouldn’t anything be possible?”

“……”

I looked down at Tete with a blank look.

The baby, who had eaten his fill of ether, was fluttering his flipper-feet with a smile.

While the corners of my mouth went up at the loveliness, I had a thought.

Did this child foresee all of that? So, did he place the right elements in the right places?

If that’s true, how could that be possible? Hyung [older brother] said that the divine beast was a ‘discarded’ setting…

“Anyway, it seems like the preparations are roughly finished. Where do we go now?”

Finally, Sir Schu, who was carrying a backpack, looked around at us.

The gazes of the Holy Knight trio were immediately fixed on me, and I exchanged glances with the Prince and then quickly looked at Camille.

Then he pretended to adjust his glasses with his bare hands.

“…I’ve done what I can. Surely you don’t have nowhere to run?”

……Yes?

Is it all self-service from here?

*

And.

-Heeheehee!

-Thud!

Prince Debbie Andre, with a triumphant face, jumped out of the black carriage.

The young man quickly raised his arm and pointed to the single-story house at the end of the alley.

“That’s the place. I saw a beast coming out of that house with my own two eyes!”

‘Breath of the Beast’. One of Modest Bakari’s clues.

The Crown Prince immediately drew his sword.
