I Made a Game Featuring Constellations - Chapter 73



The First Akashic Archive Countermeasures Meeting (1)

“Why is she acting like that today?”

Count Padora looked out the window at his eldest daughter, who was diligently swinging a sword in the training grounds, and wondered.

Born into a family of renowned swordsmen, it was unbelievable how much she hated sword training and lived only to play games, letting her body grow fat. An embarrassment to the family, no matter where you looked at it.

And yet, unlike usual, she was wielding a sword, swinging it with all her might.

It was unlike her, a creature who feared emerging from her room.

“… I don’t know what wind blew her this way, but she’ll probably stop soon enough.”

Count Padora shrugged and closed the curtains, covering the window.

It was her nature he had tried to fix for over 10 years and failed, and he was so certain she wouldn’t change that he would bet his most prized gambling chips on it.

But the next day,

and the day after,

and even after weeks had passed, she continued to swing her sword without stopping.

Sweat dripped down her entire body, and her arms trembled.

Nevertheless, she forced herself to regain her posture.

“I won’t give up. I must not give up.”

That’s what he said.

The moment you want to give up is the best opportunity to advance to the next level.

If she missed this golden opportunity, she wouldn’t be able to move forward.

“Miss! Please take a short break!”

The knight commander, who had been watching her nearby, shouted.

“Just a little more!”

With her dizzy vision, she regained her posture and swung her sword.

“If it were Ren, he would have done it this way!”

Before she knew it, she had become slender and fit, and she took a step forward, swinging the training sword imbued with sword energy.

Academy City Leira

Renatus Alber, a demon living in the highest and most affluent area, put down his terminal and fell into thought.

“Hmm…”

After pondering for a long time, he ordered his butler to prepare a gift package.

Then he personally took the gift packages and walked to the entrance of the mansion across the street.

“Ah, Lord Alber!”

The guards at the entrance were astonished to see him approaching.

As the guard contacted the inside, the owner of the mansion, Albus, hurriedly ran over.

He asked with a deeply furrowed face.

“What scheme is it this time?”

The two families, Alber and Albus, had been fighting as enemies since the distant ancestors of dozens of generations ago.

Due to the conflict that started from the primordial grudge, the two families had been maintaining the worst relationship by taking petty revenge on each other.

If one was harmed, they would repay it, and if they were avenged for repaying, they would take revenge again.

Even the descendants of the modern era, who had no connection, were growling at each other just by seeing the faces of the two demons and humans due to the grudge relationship passed down.

“No particular scheme.”

Alber chuckled and shrugged.

“I just came to propose reconciliation and break the meaningless chain of our hatred. Albus, I’m sorry for all this time.”

“…Reconciliation?”

Albus’s face frowned as he received the gift package from Alber.

What nonsense is this b*stard spouting now?

“Do you expect me to believe that now?”

Albus, who handed over the gift package to his servants to check if there were any magic bombs or eavesdropping devices inside, asked again.

“I know. It would be hard to believe easily.”

He learned from his parents. That he couldn’t sleep with both eyes closed as long as the Albus family, the mortal enemy, was intact.

Their parents must have learned the same from their parents.

“But isn’t our hatred towards each other not originated from us?”

Now, it was a strange relationship that had arisen from the trivial conflicts of the petty ancestors, so long ago that it was no longer properly remembered.

“I want to break off this relationship that is eating us away and make a fresh start with you.”

Albert extended his hand with a smile that seemed to please the demons.

Albus, with a bewildered expression, did not take his hand, remaining cautious.

“I will leave today, but I will return. Until you accept my reconciliation.”

With a sweet eye smile, he turned around and walked towards his mansion.

“Good grief. Did that madman eat something wrong again?”

Spitting to the side, Albus muttered curses as he turned his body towards the mansion.

The conflict between the two families had come too far to be resolved with just one reconciliation.

However, the courage to propose reconciliation through an apology was a fitting start to untie the knot of conflict that was like an iron fortress.

‘Please watch over me, Perlerina Demon King. Was it appropriate to convey your will to this world?’

The story of becoming the best ally family that protects each other among the families that had the worst relationship.

Neither of them thought that the tale would be passed down to future generations as a fable of reconciliation and forgiveness.

Junior Academy

Thud

“I!”

Thud

“Didn’t ask for this kind of bread!”

Thud

“I told you to bring the dangdang bread!”

Thud

The Langin girl kicked the Dark Elf boy who was lying on the ground.

“But, but that was the only bread left! …Aagh!”

“If there’s no bread left, you should find some by any means necessary! I told you I can only eat Dangdang bread!”

Thud Thud Thud

The Langin girl continued to kick the unresisting Dark Elf boy, continuing her assault.

“Ah, this won’t do. You must have forgotten my temper.”

The Langin girl took off her watch and placed it beside her, a blue light emanating from her grasp.

“Wa-wait! Langlang! You’re going to use your magic…!”

“Let’s set things straight today!”

The Langin girl swung her hand, now heavily imbued with magic, with great force.

“aaagh!”

The boy closed his eyes tightly and curled up, hoping the pain this time would be mild.

“…Huh?”

But the expected impact never came.

Feeling puzzled, the boy opened his eyes slightly.

“!”

From noble mtl dot com

He saw the Langin girl’s wrist being held by someone.

“Ho, Hora…”

A Ho-in girl with an expressionless face.

The strongest in the academy who had conquered the Junior Academy, Hora, was gripping the wrist of a Langin girl.

Just a moment ago, the Langin girl Langlang, who had been so full of herself, started trembling as soon as she faced Hora.

“Didn’t I say that trivial acts of violence within the school are strictly prohibited? Especially violence due to different races.”

“Ah, ah! Yes, you did… hehe.”

“Then what are you doing now?”

“Well, you see… it’s not that I was being violent…! This, this guy wasn’t listening to me, so I was just giving a bit of education… haha.”

“Education, you say.”

“Y-yes!”

“Is this what you call education? Hitting with a hand imbued with magic?”

Crack, crack

A chilling sound came from the muscles embedded in the small frame of the Hoin girl.

“I didn’t know that. Education, huh….”

“I’m sorry, Hora! Please spare me!”

The Langin girl flattened herself on the ground.

“I’ll let it slide this time. Remember, there won’t be a next time.”

“Yes! Yes!”

“Then get lost.”

As the Hoin girl let go of her hand, the Langin girl ran away in a hurry.

To think that tyrant would be so easily….

“Are you alright?”

Hora extended her hand to the Dark Elf boy who had fallen and was in awe.

“Th-thank you for saving me….”

“For what? I just couldn’t stand by and watch injustice.”

“Injustice…?”

As far as he knew, the girl in front of him was a battle maniac who had no interest in such things.

As soon as she entered the Junior Academy, she challenged the upperclassmen and unified the entire academy district, so obsessed with combat was she.

But now she suddenly couldn’t stand injustice and prohibited acts of violence.

What kind of wind blew this change?

“More importantly, you…”

“Yes?”

“Are you a Dark Elf?”

“Y-yes, I am!”

A gleam returned to her eyes, which had been languid as if she had no interest in the world.

“In that case, do you know a Dark Elf named Gaizerus?”

“Of course, he’s a hero to us Dark Elves.”

Thump

“…Huh?”

The Dark Elf boy found himself tucked under the arm of the beastkin girl before he knew it.

“Let’s have a little chat.”

The girl took the boy and leapt up the outer wall of the building.

“Wa, wait a moment!”

The boy couldn’t see it, but the girl’s face was flushed with excitement.

Meeting of the Gods

“The game [Akashic Archive] is causing chaos across the continent!”

A goddess who had gained the right to speak stood up from her seat, spreading her arms wide as she appealed.

“The current paradigm of divine supply across the continent is all disrupted because of that game.”

Arrogant beings.

“So I propose!”

How dare they not make a game out of my magnificent story.

Unforgivable.

I will make them pay for it.

“Let’s agree to include the stories of all the gods gathered here in the game!”

Just you wait and see.

God of Dreams.
