What Happens When The Second Male Lead Powers Up [EN]: Chapter 838

After a long while, the cleaned-up whiteboard had Eun-seo’s elementary school-like handwriting scrawled across it.

‘WoW!’

‘The Three Musketeers and Jeong Eun-seo’s’

‘♥Jeong Ye-seo’s Dimensional Travel Project!♡’

‘wOw!’

“······Did you two plan this behind my back?”

“Huh?”

After checking the letters on the whiteboard, Hyung [older brother] turned to me and asked seriously, and I blinked, unable to understand what he was saying.

Jeong Hyeon-seo sighed quietly and advised, ‘Don’t ever do marketing anywhere.’

Around that time, Sir Johann raised his hand brightly.

“I have a question.”

“Yes, Uncle Johann.”

“The pictures you removed earlier contained the faces of the disciples. I was wondering where you got them.”

“Ah, they came as a bonus with the character perfumes that Canary used to sell in limited quantities. Canary is the name of the site where Toegye Gong [pen name of Jeong Hyeon-seo] is serialized. There are also some that I exchanged with acquaintances because it was a random set of three per character, but I collected all nine without paying a single penny of premium!”

“······Hmm.”

Sir Johann looked like he didn’t understand some of the words.

I explained to him that ‘Canary’ is a nickname for ‘Canaria,’ and ‘random set of three’ means ‘receiving one of three pictures at random.’

I also added that ‘premium’ is short for ‘premium price,’ meaning ‘buying a desired item by paying extra.’

Then the man tilted his head and looked back at Eun-seo.

“It sounds like a gambling activity. It has a speculative nature.”

“······.”

Huh, the Cardinal is attacking a child with facts!

“Are those pictures not available anywhere else unless you own them? Like, displayed in a salon······.”

“Ah, they are released on the internet.”

Eun-seo quickly replied, shaking her phone.

“I have them saved on my phone right now.”

“Do you have to pay to see them?”

“No. The pictures uploaded on the internet can be viewed anytime.”

“Then why do you buy them?”

“······.”

Jeong Eun-seo shut her mouth tightly at the sharp question, and I didn’t know what to do, so I looked back and forth between the two.

In fact, I had always been thinking similarly to Sir Johann, so I couldn’t think of anything to defend my sister.

Jeong Hyeon-seo, as the copyright holder of Toegye Gong and feeling like a sinner in front of Jeong Eun-seo, had been silently sitting with his mouth shut since earlier.

Then Eun-seo finally······.

“······Ah! Again, again! Let’s start over from the beginning!”

‘Regular people just don’t understand!’ she shouted, erasing the words ‘Three Musketeers’ with an eraser.

Then she wrote again like this.

‘Three Idiots and the Normal Person Jeong Eun-seo’s.’

Gain was standing in the middle of the largest reception room in the Blanquer estate.

“So, the situation is.”

With a serious expression, she placed one hand on her hip and wrote crookedly on the wooden board that the workers of the Duke’s family had brought.

The white chalk hit the board wildly, making a loud noise.

Cedric and Jibril frowned at the same time.

-Tap! Tap-tap-tap-tap, tap-tap! Tap!

“What’s so great about it that she writes so loudly?”

“She’s originally a person without any refinement.”

‘The Three Men and D’Artagnan Rambouillet’s’

‘Moon Hunt Operation!’

“······What’s that drawn next to the moon, trash?”

“That’s you. This side is a full moon shape, this side is a crescent moon.”

“I thought it was a toothpick, but you tried everything evenly. What kind of old-fashioned stage name is D’Artagnan?”

Gain casually ignored the rude royal male and looked around.

Eva took the time out of her busy schedule to be with them, and Marquis Francois D’Hiem was also present with Herrit.

Cedric in the first row, center, was sitting with his left leg crossed, and next to him was Prince Yeser Venetian, sitting with his right leg crossed.

Okay, all the people I need right now are here.

Gain corrected her grip on the chalk and pointed to the center of the wooden board.

“I’ll get straight to the point today as well. I told you at the last social gathering, right? If any of us regain important memories, we should definitely tell each other and get help with the ‘Moon Hunt.’ But recently, His Highness the Crown Prince and I. There has been a significant restoration of the memories of the two people.”

“······.”

“Well, it’s not recent. It’s just this afternoon. Focus!”

-Tap-tap!

Gain, who flashed her blue eyes like an inspired genius composer—or like a star lecturer with a salary of tens of billions—began to beat the wooden board again with chalk.

Jibril called a passing servant and asked for earplugs.

-Tap-tap-tap! Tap-tap!

“Who is the Archangel? We still don’t know exactly. But? He used the prince’s body in the past. So what is the same for both of them? The ‘voice’ is the same! Underline it!”

-Tap!

“Oh, underline······.”

Eva, overwhelmed by Gain’s energy, hurriedly grabbed a quill and took notes.

-Tap!

“Now, and this time, a very, very decisive clue has come out, right? Where did the missing angel go? The teacher thinks? One hundred percent flew across the ‘dimension.’ Bbam! Circle the dimension, five stars. This is no longer something that can be found on our continent or in the sea.”

“Ha. All my tutors after the first teacher were men.”

“Good heavens, Duke Dioph. Herrit is listening.”

“Why? I haven’t said anything yet.”

‘Ttaak!’ The tip of the chalk broke, scattering white powder.

Eva almost clapped her hands.

Gain continued to wield the chalk without paying attention.

Yeser Venetian was watching her with a faint smile.

-Tap!

“That’s it. There is only one way to get the moon back. The moon flew over the dimension? Then we have no choice but to chase after it over the dimension.”

“······Beyond the dimension?”

The Crown Prince, who had been listening all along, frowned and asked again.

Gain immediately nodded her head.

“There’s no other way. Think about it. A person’s soul dwells in another person’s body, that is, ‘possession.’ This is not something that can be done with ordinary harmony, right? But if the angel was someone who came from another dimension, then everything becomes clear. The moon disappeared completely, so no one can find it, even our memories flew away. Even the people who witnessed the enormous golden light in the capital on the day the angel left······.”

The Paladin was the only person in this place who had experienced possession.

She knew best in the world how absurdly big of an accident it was.

“Since the pretty angel opened the door to another dimension once, we can use the same method. Think simply. We even have all four divine objects? Me, His Highness the Crown Prince, Stubborn, and Divine Bow. It’s too easy!”

“There is one more divine object needed.”

At that time, the prince, who had been listening with a beautiful face, opened his mouth. Everyone’s eyes gathered on him.

Gain saw him take a familiar notebook out of his arms.

······What is that? I’ve seen it so often. For no reason, one side of my chest throbbed.

“According to the sacred records, the ‘gate’ opening principle is as follows.”

The man, who opened one place in his notebook, said in a gentle voice.

Gain and Cedric tilted their heads at the same time. ‘Gate’?

“‘Four divine objects reach the sky, something happens, the Holy Grail activates, and grants the wish to go home.’”

The man who read aloud raised his eyes. Gain blinked with a dazed face. Huh?

“······Excuse me? I’m sorry, but could you say that again?”

“Four divine objects reach the sky, something happens······.”

“The Holy Grail activates? Are you perhaps talking about the ‘Holy Grail of Wishes’ in the middle of the desert?”

Eva, who was diligently taking notes on the lesson, asked in a high voice.

The prince gently raised the corners of his lips and tried to answer the lady.

It was at that moment.

-Knock knock knock

“Excuse me, Your Highness. An urgent message has come from the Imperial Palace. It is a matter that must be reported immediately······.”

“I’ll listen right away.”

David, who knocked on the door and entered, was looking for the Crown Prince.

As soon as Cedric snapped his fingers, the middle-aged man approached with quick steps and whispered in his ear.

A thick dark cloud hung over the Crown Prince’s face after hearing the report.

Gain quickly intervened between the two.

“What’s wrong, David? Perhaps to His Majesty the late Former Royal Consort······.”

“It’s not what you’re worried about, but it’s perhaps as serious as that.”

David said heavily. Jibril looked at him as if urging him.

“······The news has been delivered that the divine object ‘Holy Grail of Wishes’ has been completely destroyed, and the Papal States have been concealing this all along. It seems that the Imperial Capital is already in an uproar. It is rumored that His Highness Aureli Boutier, who is leading the bishops in the desert, is launching a fierce attack against Grand Vicar Rupert.”

“······.”

“······.”

“······.”

Gain, Cedric, and Jibril quickly exchanged glances.

That’s right, the Papal States. I had temporarily forgotten about the political situation there because I was busy digesting the schedule after the improvement.

To be more honest, I was too busy immersing myself in the unidentified angel and the moon hunt, so I didn’t have time to think about anything else······.

No, but the Holy Grail was destroyed?

Is that even possible in the first place?

“······The whole world is helping you.”

“Yes?”

Prince Yeser said cheerfully.

Gain couldn’t keep up with the thoughts of the beauty sitting in front of her since earlier.

“His Highness Boutier would not want to make this situation Liester’s fault, so it’s good in many ways.”

“······.”

“Taking advantage of the Papal States being tied up, you can gather your strength and restore the Holy Grail.”

Ha?

“Then the Liester Empire will have an absolute advantage in its relationship with the Papal States in the future, and you will be able to open the door to another dimension and retrieve the moon using the Holy Grail and other divine objects.”

“······Wait a minute, wait a minute. I’m really sorry.”

Gain shook her head and squeezed her eyes shut and opened them. What are you talking about?

“Your Highness, you know that the Holy Grail is not a bowl that can be fixed perfectly just by gluing it together, right?”

“Hahaha.”

The prince burst into a pleasant laugh.

Thanks to a certain angel these days, he has been laughing a lot more.

*

So, our conclusion after an hour or so of discussion is······.

“Okay, then. First, open the file for me.”

“Huh?”

I looked up at my sister, holding on to my dead old phone.

Eun-seo, standing in front of the whiteboard, was holding out her hand in the dignified posture of a deity.

“You mean I just have to read that Nemonemo file or whatever?”
