After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me - Chapter 293



293 – Dessert Research Group (Complete)

After delivering the last snowflake fruit for the dessert research group here and there.

“I’ve been there.”

I opened the door to the clubroom, feeling a little tired.

Of course, that fatigue doesn’t last long. Because.

“Welcome!”

“Welcome Ian!”

“Are you here, brother?”

Because there are club members who welcome you so warmly.

… Of course, it’s a bit disappointing that this dessert research group ends today.

I carefully patted the heads of my precious team members one by one. My precious colleagues who have always given me a lot of strength.

The moment when I was about to fall into some sentimental feelings.

‘…Wait.’

Sniff.

I reflexively twitched my nose.

I felt something.

Grass, flame, divine power.

Magical power other than that of our members.

‘…Someone went into hiding?’

Most villain groups, including the Shaleam Bridge, have lost much of their power.

Even if I turn my head right now, I can’t think of an organization that would set up an ambush in a club room full of these talented people.

Could it be that there were other undisclosed villains?

Pout.

Goosebumps run down my back.

“Everyone listen quietly and don’t react. Leave the club room like this.”

I quietly told the members.

Lina asks in confusion.

“W-what’s going on?”

“Someone has sneaked in.”

Saying that, I turned them towards the door.

No. I tried to turn it around.

Because they didn’t move.

“… Guys?”

This is the first time I have experienced this kind of rejection.

I asked in confusion, but they just looked at each other.

“Look. Ian notices right away.”

“I prepared hard…”

“As expected, it’s Brother Ian! That’s amazing!”

What are you talking about, these guys.

Now is not the time for small talk. I have no idea how strong the opponent is. I opened my mouth urgently.

“Now is not the time. Hurry…”

But that’s only for a moment.

— Paang!

The sound of gunpowder exploding was heard.

I turned my head reflexively.

Long colorful paper decorations were falling.

And.

“Surprise!”

Everyone visible beyond.

Silvia Laurent.

Asteria is now emperor.

Master Asilia.

Northern Grand Duke Yergina.

Blood woman.

And even Sharon and Aria.

Everyone was gathered together.

“…What is it?”

While I was babbling, Master poked the person next to me in the side with a smile.

Yergina belatedly holds up something that looks like her plan card.

[ Ian’s farewell surprise party ]

“Surprise… Party?”

I was embarrassed.

That’s because it’s my first time receiving something like this.

Lina jumped out in front of my field of vision and opened her mouth with a smile.

“Ian. You said the dessert research group would end today. I said that would mean returning to the world you originally came from. So we all prepared together. Let’s have a party to celebrate your leaving… No, returning!”＜ Br＞

Lina said energetically.

However, the sight of her taking a deep breath seemed sad at first glance.

By the way.

Farewell…I…

While something is about to open its mouth.

Aria suddenly ran out and closed to me.

“Ian! Can’t you go? Don’t go. Don’t go…!”

I was embarrassed.

What on earth is going on? Is this why it’s a surprise?

This moment is probably the most embarrassing moment since being possessed.

Salvation came in an unexpected way.

Before I knew it, the blood girl appeared and took Aria away from me.

— Talk.

She hit Arya on the back of the neck, knocking her out… Probably because she had good control of her strength. Although the blood woman made a more shocking statement.

“I will follow you too.”

“…Huh?”

“Anyway, I’ve seen everything there is to see in this world. The main woman is quite sick of this place, so I want to follow you and see the strength of other worlds. Besides.”

“…?”

“She always wanted to have your child. She said our child will be the best.”

It’s been like this for a long time, but in general, the story of a blood woman is difficult to follow.

Above all, when you look at her red eyes shining with madness, you end up thinking that whatever it is, it is not normal.

A blood girl approaching me step by step and trying to coil around me like a snake.

It was only then that I realized that something extra had attached to me after Aria disappeared.

“There’s that pretty girl. I think she’d better stop.”

Surprisingly, there was someone who provoked such a blood woman.

And when I look back at the owner of that voice, I feel like it was worth it.

A woman glaring at her blood girl with her arms crossed.

Master of the empire.

Emperor Asteria.

“Ian belongs to the main woman. Don’t touch it, girl.”

Asteria, with her pure white hair flowing, is a femme fatale in herself.

If you think about it, she was like a black and white femme fatale gathered in one place.

The blood woman grew.

“Since when did Ian become yours?”

“The maid is the emperor of the empire. Since she is a citizen of the empire, she belongs to the maid, right?”

“Hmm? This child is going to leave this place now, but is he still a citizen? This festival is also a farewell ceremony, right?”

The fight between a seductress and a femme fatale.

I, who was caught between them, carefully raised my hand.

“I’m sorry you two were fighting… “

Jerit.

At the same time, I unknowingly took a few steps back due to the eyes glaring at me.

Honestly, it was scarier than a blood demon.

I barely gathered up the courage to ask.

“A farewell ceremony?”

“Huh?”

“Where am I going?”

Everyone looked at me with dumbfounded eyes.

◆

Sometimes, very occasionally.

There are cases where the surrounding air becomes uncontrollably cold.

“”…””

It is commonly said that a ghost has passed by, but unfortunately this was not one of those cases. Because the reason was too clear to blame it on a ghost.

“Ian? What do you mean?”

Today was the first time I realized that Lina’s voice she could feel this cold. I quickly opened my mouth as if making an excuse.

“A farewell ceremony means I’m going back somewhere.”

“That’s right. You said today is the last day of the dessert research group. Doesn’t that mean you’re going back to the original world?”

Ah.

Was everyone thinking that I was going back to reality, or rather, to Korea? Of course, after everything was completed, I revealed information about myself to my colleagues.

My hometown Earth, and things related to it.

A way to return was also found.

But.

“… I never said anything about returning?”

“Didn’t you say it was the last day of the dessert research group!”

Yergina shouted.

“No, that’s it—.”

“Hmm?”

“… It’s really the last day of the dessert research group.”

Everyone here is in confusion.

It was clear that there was some major misunderstanding.

Where on earth did it all go wrong?

“Ah.”

The simplest solution came to mind.

“Asteria.”

I committed disrespect by calling the emperor of the empire by his name

Of course, she told me to call her that, so I followed.

“Yes, Ian.”

“Could you show me the enforcement decree?”

At my request, Asteria nodded her head.

— Wow!

She took out her document from between her breasts and opened it.

Don’t ask how it gets out of there. In the world of magical engineering, anything is possible.

Anyway.

〈〈 Dessert Research Institute 〉〉

— Establishment of the above-mentioned institutions directly under the emperor.

To summarize, it was like this.

In short, the Dessert Research Group is promoted to a Dessert Research Institute.

Even, as a national authority level organization.

From noble mtl dot come

I nodded proudly next to Asteria.

‘Ruler. Everyone will be happy, right?’

That was the thought.

And then I realized that I was completely wrong.

“Ian, you b*stard!”

Uh oh. Why are you angry?

The first to run was Yergina.

Her headlock is aimed squarely at my head.

“Ah, it hurts!”

“Cancer! It must hurt! Everyone thought you were going to be like this!”

Yergina was not the end.

Danya, Lina, Elena… And even Sylvia, who seemed the least likely to do so, ran over and tackled me somehow.

“We thought we were going back to the true way…!”

“Ian, you stupid b*stard!”

Master’s bridge can be seen in the distance.

It seemed like Master Asilia was keeping the body.

I barely managed to raise my head and look at my teacher for help.

By the way.

“… Disciple.”

Master was looking at me with a sullen face, with his cheeks puffed out.

Tears hanging down her face

‘Ah.’

It was ruined.

It was only then that I realized the sin I was about to commit.

What should I do with this?

There is no place to ask for help.

It was Asteria who held my hand.

“Everyone, please calm down a little.”

“Would you calm down if it were you?”

Someone shouted fearlessly.

It’s very messy.

“Any more grumbling will be considered treason.”

“… In fact, the princess was the one who seemed most likely to rebel.”

Someone grumbled.

Could that have been a trigger?

“Pugh!”

A small laugh erupted.

I don’t know who it was, but there was no point in trying to find out who started the laughter.

Hehe!”

Haha!”

It wasn’t a particularly great joke, but the laughter quickly became contagious.

Maybe everyone was hoping for a situation where they would laugh like that.

Because a strange sense of relief spread along with laughter.

“Well, Ian won’t leave. Isn’t that a good thing after all?”

“That’s right. It can be a welcome party, not a farewell party!”

Silvia and Danya did a great job setting the mood.

Soon the atmosphere changed easily.

Food, alcohol, and beverages filled the table.

The laughter and conversation never stop, as if everyone was so angry at some point.

In the end, everyone is a good person.

A small failure.

What should I say?

This atmosphere is not bad.

“Okay then!”

Clap clap clap!

Elena, her face red, knocked her glass and stood up.

For reference, her glass was filled with orange juice.

It’s not alcohol.

“At this point, I will listen to Brother Ian’s toast!”

“Oh!”

“Progress is good!”

I couldn’t believe my ears for a moment.

Is this Korea?

Am I here for a company dinner?

And I realized my mistake once again.

‘I taught it to people at the last company dinner.’

Anyway.

They say everyone is smart and learns quickly.

I didn’t bother to hide the laughter that came out.

Because I felt good enough today.

I picked up my glass and stood up.

“oooh—cool!”

“Thank you.”

I responded to the call and looked around.

The faces of my colleagues.

I was able to run all the way here because of them.

Incidents, accidents, and memories from the time of possession until now pass by one by one.

Delicious food.

Good atmosphere.

Good people.

A nice toast would be nice, but…

Above all, being honest wouldn’t be a bad thing.

“Thank you everyone. And.”

I took a deep breath.

From now on, the air of the world I will live in.

I really liked that scent.

“Please continue to take good care of me in the future.”

As if my words were a signal, snow, flowers and various magic splendidly decorated our surroundings.

A beautiful sight.

There is no longer a story or future that I know.

But I’m not afraid.

Because my colleagues are here, and our story begins now.
