I Would Like To Live A Different Life If I Could Go Back In Time - Episode 42

“Giannino-sama, thank you very much for today.”

“Lady Yuria, starting tomorrow?”

“It seems like I might be summoned by the palace, so I plan to leave the royal capital tomorrow morning and enjoy myself freely until the day before school starts.”

“That’s nice. I might be called again around the time the academy starts.”

The academy starts in a week. Until then, I want to relax and stretch my wings without thinking about anything.

After parting with the teacher, I immediately returned to my room and took off my dress.

“I’m going back to the dormitory as is today. Please tell Father. Also, I’m going to be away from the capital enjoying my vacation until the academy starts next week, so don’t contact me.”

“Understood.”

I returned to the dormitory in my usual clothes. Since the ball will go on until midnight, if we’re going to leave the capital, it has to be now.

At night, I want to avoid encountering magical beasts due to poor visibility, but I want to avoid being summoned back to the palace again by dawdling even more.

Wielding my sword, as usual, I put on the monster’s skull, don my hood to obscure my presence, and head straight to the guild.

Since there are attacks by magical beasts even at night, the guild operates twenty-four hours a day.

At this hour, many adventurers are drinking at the tavern next door, so the reception area is quiet. I take a few requests from towns away from the royal capital and submit them at the reception.

“Yuria-sama, thank you for your hard work. It’s the C-rank beast subjugation, right? I’ve accepted the request. It’s dangerous to go out for the subjugation at this hour, so it would be better to move in the morning tomorrow.”

“Ah. Yeah. Thanks for the advice.”

I will just walk out of the royal capital. Unfortunately, there are no carriages at this time.

I’m quietly flying along the street. At night, there are fewer witnesses, so this method is the safest.

Flying straight towards the city is the fastest, but if I run out of magic and fall into a monster’s den, it would be a disaster.

Finally, I made it out of the royal capital!!

I fly with a cheerful tune.

There is a distance to the destination city.

I feel like I could fly that far, but I’ve fought against magical beasts today and I’m tired, plus I’ve used magic.

We arrived at the first village without any trouble, and since things seem to be going smoothly, we decided to fly straight to the next town.

Is Professor Giannino my fiancé?

Is that really settled?

It’s fun to discuss magic with the teacher, but right now, I just want to do what I love.

Is this the backlash from the last live performance?

The noble lady is aware that she is the property of the family.

I think the working-class commoners feel the same way. For commoners, children are workers.

For the nobility, it is a tool to prosper their household. The children understand this, which is why there are no complaints.

I think it’s unreasonable, but I just give up because there’s no other way to live.

But, throughout my long life, I have secured the means to live alone. I want to say goodbye to this suffocating world as soon as possible.

But I want to graduate from the academy if possible.

It seems like it wouldn’t be a problem if it disappeared right after graduation!

Under the starry sky, I swim while humming a tune, and my daydreams expand endlessly.

Just as the sunrise was starting to become visible, we finally arrived at the next town.

After showing the guild certificate to the gatekeeper, enter the town and look for a carriage to the desired town.

“Is this carriage going to the city of Cologne?”

“Ah, that’s right. But departure is in two hours.”

“I see. Well then, is it alright if I wait inside a bit early?”

“I don’t mind.”

I paid the fare, boarded the carriage, sat down at the back, and fell asleep.

I’ve been to this town several times, so I’m not worried.

In this small town, the safety is dozens of times better compared to the royal capital. They’re unfriendly, but it’s only natural since I’m an outsider.

It seems that because they had been flying all night, they were sound asleep and didn’t even notice the carriage swaying.

“Excuse me, wake up. We’ve arrived.”

“Ah, sorry.”

I thanked them and got off the carriage.

I completely fell asleep. Thanks to sleeping, my magical power has recovered quite a bit, so there’s no problem continuing with the monster subjugation like this.

After visiting the client to hear the detailed story, I headed out to the subjugation.

Yesterday’s beast was quite tough. Last time during the live, there were no beasts appearing in the palace, right? It was the same during the tea party.

Is it because I’ve changed that things are heading in a bad direction?

At that time, that woman was smirking.

Does that woman have any memories?

If that’s the case, you should be able to handle things better. What I understand is that you’ve been obsessed with Prince Randolph both in the past and now.

I want to eliminate the obstacles. If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be surprising if the remaining two also become targets.

I might have been better off telling Professor Giannino.
