A Third-Rate Villain Sucking Honey With an Academy Bug - Chapter 179
Afterword – Edwin-Psyche-Lily
Several seasons passed in Clarice.
And a green-colored man is walking on campus.
His name is Edwin Gwins.
Honorary graduate of the Academy,
The guardian of this place,
A legendary cadet who was promoted to a quasi-war hero and became a warrior…
Of course, all of the credit went to Lev Denek.
In the end, Edwin was the only person known to the world according to his wishes.
“Whoa.”
He stopped by the communications center for work and let out a short sigh.
Now, no one discredits his background.
-It’s Edwin!
-Amazing… !
-Genius of hard work… I heard!
On the contrary, popularity continues to soar day by day…
However, now I have to do it alone without Rev.
[Yelody Latasia, keep an eye on that woman]
This was Lev’s last request before leaving on a long journey.
Edwin also heard a report that a person who appeared to be Yellodi Latasia escaped while investigating the collapsed Demon Castle.
Well, in a situation where even the Demon King has disappeared, he must perform this level of work to be worthy of being called a hero.
“Next, Edwin.”
At that time, a communications official handed Edwin a letter.
“The mail arrived again. Would you like me to send it back to the sender?”
“… “
If the mail comes to Edwin, who has no family, it might be about the occasional greeting from Psyche, a recruitment ceremony for a large guild, or marriage talks among nobles.
Actually, there was something else that came the most.
A letter from Melissa Prominence, who was the princess of the Principality of Prominence.
Edwin has already stopped receiving letters and is sending them back, but the letters have been coming for two years already.
“Wouldn’t it be better to check it out and reply not to send it again?”
I heard that Lev even forgave Lilith.
“I guess so.”
As suggested by the smiling employee, Edwin eventually decided to read the letter.
.
.
.
“… “
[Hello Edwin?]
The content of the letter, which started out lightly, was longer than expected, considering it came every day.
From Noble mtl dot com
There was no mention of wanting to see Edwin, regretting it, or missing him.
However, the daily life and small things that Melissa feels these days.
And I always feel grateful and sorry.
It was made up of things like that.
——————————————————
.
.
.
I’m really waiting for an answer… Sorry.
-Melissa
——————————————————
Even without checking the letters I have received so far, I can imagine that this concluding statement will be roughly similar.
“…… “
Like the ink smeared by Melissa’s tear stains, she may have changed a little.
When Edwin was wondering whether to reply or not…
“Hello. Senior Edwin?”
“…?”
A girl with braided hair appeared out of nowhere.
He looks as fresh as a freshman, as if he has just gotten out of being a kid.
However, she was a girl with such potential and beauty that her growth was expected.
“My name is Emma. “She’s a new student at Clarice, and she helps out at the communications center during the break.”
“Oh, you are that girl?”
Edwin was Emma’s immediate senior and was equivalent to an Elder, so she knew a little about the story during her interview.
The youngest girl to survive [Lord of Joy], A raid hosted by the previously infamous guild [Crow Fay].
She was also from a commoner background like herself.
“By the way, senior Edwin is close to senior Lev, right?”
“… “
Why are so many people looking for that damn Lev?
“We’re close, but… “
“I also have a connection with Lev senior~.”
“Uh… okay?”
When Edwin reacted, Emma said, pointing with her finger at the letter from Lisa that Edwin was holding.
“Then, stop staring at that and just buy me some food.”
“Huh? Ask Lev to buy it for you… “
“That’s enough. That person wasn’t even in Clarisse. What.”
“Uh… “
“Let’s sleep! I’ll buy the snacks, so let’s go… !”
Emma crossed Edwin’s arms as she pleased, and she began to drag him away.

Lev Denek’s personal magic tower located in Artina territory.
Behind Lev Denek, who was inspecting the portal, a woman who looked holy and noble asked.
“Are you leaving today?”
“Yes.”
Her name is Psyche.
She is a current saint and someone who was a saint.
Lev lifted her up and asked her.
“Saint, are you feeling well?”
“Yes, thanks to your care, I am recovering little by little.”
Obviously, Psyche handed over all her divine powers to Arya,
As Arya became a member of Lev’s family, her position as saint became vacant.
Therefore, Psyche, who was her suitable partner, became a new saint again.
Of course, compared to her previous power, she is a very weak saint.
“I’m glad. Please take good care of this place.”
“Of course.”
The gray-haired boy smiled and then began adjusting the portal technique again.
Psyche spoke as if reciting.
“Finally, I have one favor to ask.”
“… Please speak.”
“Can I give you a hug?”
Lev also knew that she was not saying this out of her rational emotions.
Perhaps to feel the traces of Kroon.
Knowing the sorrow of someone who does not return, Lev obediently gave permission.
“Of course.”
-Pook.
Psyche approached her lightly and was hugged from behind.
“Thank you. Cadet Lev.”
“… “
“For saving me and defeating the devil… and… “
“… “
“For helping her make up her mind about Kroon.”
Psyche also knew.
He is not Kroon.
Personality and appearance.
However, she was able to feel Kroon’s footsteps in the direction and pursuit that helped her.
Above all, he carried on Kroon’s will.
That’s why it’s so… Thank you.
-Sureuk.
Psyche put his arms back in place and took a few steps back.
“As a saint, I will pray earnestly for you to stay healthy wherever you are.”
“Thank you. “You too, saint.”
.
.
.
-Ttogak, ttogak.
When Psyche went down the stairs of the magic tower, there was a woman with her arms folded at the entrance.
A woman with jet-black hair.
It was Lilith La Rochelle.
Psyche smiled and asked.
“I don’t have to say goodbye, do you?”
“… “
She didn’t answer, just nodded her head quietly and left.
Because she thought she was not qualified.
Soon, I will embroider everything.
She also believed in her demons… Also the infidelity she had been secretly doing at the Academy.
But she really wanted to convey her gratitude for helping her get out of the abyss.
‘Junior… thank you.’
The sky of Artina territory that Lilith looked up at was very, very blue.
* * *
“Huh, is everything done?”
At first glance, it seems like the magical opening of the portal was successful.
As a result… Recently I regained my memory.
Thanks to Lilith.
It wasn’t a lie when she said it would help her regain her memories.
That day, what she aimed at me was clearly a magic sword.
The magic sword that Aria stabbed me with.
-Rattle.
But she gave me her sword in her trembling hands.
-Are you trying to make an extreme choice?
-… No, that’s enough. Take it with you.
-…?
-He said he wanted to regain his memories.
-Why is this…?
-Because your blood is absorbed here.
It was like that.
All the blood stains on the sword body are my blood.
To be exact, it was the blood that was in my body before I activated the Well of Soul.
Also, since it was a magic sword, it was obvious that the sword itself would have absorbed a lot of my blood.
Lilith explained to me in a weak voice.
-When demons die… Find a new body through the Well of Souls?
It’s not normal to know this information, but…
-And the source of that memory is the blood that was in the previous body.
She was truly a demon fanatic.
-Even if it is only a small amount, it will help you retrieve your memories.
This was the whole story of the incident.
Afterwards,
-You again?!?!
-This is the last time.
-… !
In order to retrieve my memories, I asked Hazel, who became a master of alchemy, to extract blood.
We started to implement a situation like the Well of Soul.
Memories were recovered very slowly and gradually.
Wandering around and talking to places where memories were made with Aria and sometimes Yeriel,
-Thank goodness… ! Me, Lev… I was worried… !
-Sorry Yeriel.
We cried, laughed, and shared countless emotions.
Quite a lot of time was spent here.
Not only that, it took a lot of effort to gradually make the power of the Demon King that Aria purified into my own.
Turn the world line and normalize everything… Above all, it was the only way for me to return to the original world.
Two years passed like that,
After numerous trials and errors, it was possible to open a portal to the original world using the power of the Demon King.
.
.
.
“Is this it? “The door to your hometown.”
When I looked behind me, everyone had arrived, led by Selena.
“Everyone is here.”
-Hwiooooo… !
The open pale blue portal welcomes us.
And then Aria came closer to me.
I asked her.
“Aren’t you scared?”
“Not at all. “If I’m with Mr. Lev.”
Since the safety of dimensional travel has not yet been verified, I plan to test it out with Aria, who has become one of my subordinates.
If there is a successful result, I will be able to invite Yeriel, Selena, and Lily to the dimension I was in in the future.
“Then everyone, goodbye here. Thank you for that time.”
“Rev… ! Don’t worry here… ! Come back! “Aria too!”
“Yes, Yeriel.”
I smiled in response to Yeriel’s smile and said goodbye.
“I’ll be back soon anyway, so there’s no need to say goodbye…” “
“I don’t like it.”
Then, the girl with her now straight brown hair lowered her head and began to express her feelings.
“Lily… “
Two years passed, and Lily Forgett belatedly reached her puberty.
As much as her appearance has matured a bit, she doesn’t cling to me like she used to.
-Lily, hello?
-… Joy.
It’s a bit disappointing that he just disappeared without saying a word.
“But you still came to say hello?”
“… “
Lily’s eyes began to water as she put her pouting mouth down and stroked her head.
“Don’t go.”
“I’ll be back soon.”
“… Lev is bad. “She has so many girlfriends.”
“… “
I couldn’t open my mouth because of the sudden explosion, as if I had been put under a silence spell.
“Well, I’m sorry… “
“But, you don’t have a daughter, right?”
“Uh…?”
It feels cheap.
“Lily, I want to be Lev’s daughter.”
-…… !
Everyone is silent at Lily’s shocking remarks.
If I hadn’t had an accident in middle school and high school, I wouldn’t have a daughter like this.
‘No, thinking about this seriously… ‘
“Lily, you said that… “
When Selena tried to stop him,
I stroked her head again and whispered.
“How about your little brother…” ? “I don’t have a younger brother.”
“Nothing…?”
“Yes. My one and only sister. “The advantage is that you can come to our house at any time and play comfortably as if it were your own.”
“Oh… ! “I want to do it!”
Lily shows her innocent eyes again.
However, he soon made a sad expression and grabbed my sleeve.
“… Instead, you have to come back quickly.”
“Yes, I promise.”
After making a promise with her finger, Lily let go of my collar and I was able to finish carrying my backpack and get ready to go.
“I still can’t believe there is another dimension, but… Anyway, wherever you are, be sure to invite me.”
Selena, a platinum-haired elf who doesn’t open her heart to anyone,
“Lev, let her go! “I will always wait here!”
Be kind and gentle to everyone… In particular, the mage Yeriel shows more sincerity towards me.
“Okay, let’s all live in our house someday.”
-……
There was momentary silence at my words.
And everyone smiled as if there was nothing they could do.
“Lev is greedy… “
“Mr. Lev, you are very greedy.”
“No, you just seem like a flirt?”
“Lev, idiot!”
It’s all my fate.
My very precious relationship.
“Then shall we go…?” “
“Yes, let’s go.”
Aria’s eyes are always clear.
I no longer feel the desire to find out my identity or any uncomfortable feelings.
Now there are only signs of goodwill and trust in me.
-……
After exchanging subtle glances with Aria,
I entrusted myself to the portal to Korea.
I wish you only happiness in the days ahead.
