Chapter 275 (Self Edited) Blurring Sunset and Slight Premonition

At the moment when Soma was told that this was the case, he involuntarily let out a sigh. He wasnt tired, but

Hmm there was more information that I thought. (Soma)

That was his honest impression at present. Hildegard was no different. She let out a sigh and nodded in the same way.

Well. I feel like I was talking a bit too much. Its not that our understanding cant keep up, but we just need time to organize the information, right? No matter how good we could do that, we would get stuck somewhere if this flow of information continues every day. (Hildegard)

Aah, you dont have to worry about that. Rather, I compiled the information because I couldnt do it every day. (Satya)

Hmm? Aah I see. Is it because you have to sleep in order to absorb authority? (Soma)

Yes. Once I sleep, I cant control it. I cant get up, until it settles down. On average, I sleep for full days, so basically the time to teach you is once every three days. (Satya)

I see. Its not that you have to compile the information three days at a time. After all, Im satisfied with the amount of information. (Hildegard)

There was a lot of information that they heard for the first time, and there were many things that they could guess from it. He thought that it would take some time before he could say that he fully understood everything, but it looked like that they were all incorporated to each other.

Aah, Ive noticed one more thing now The fact that theres still time before the world starts moving means that its related. (Soma)

Thats a good consideration. Yes, the fact that the authority still remains means that it hasnt become a pure power, so it cannot be used as a catalyst for the Devil. (Satya)

So, until youve taken in all the authority, at least the world wont really move. By the way, how much time is needed specifically? (Hildegard)

Well I think it will not take three months. However, I dont think it will start moving as soon as everything is over. So as for my prediction that has started to some extent, I think it will start in earnest about a month later. (Satya)

Hmm Well, thats a reasonable time duration. (Soma)

It was about three months as expected. When it came to cramming knowledge and preparation, it would be about that much.

The reason why she didnt start earlier was that the sooner she made a move, the more likely that she would be recognized by the world. It was as if she was trying to deal with the world itself. She wouldnt the world to be too vigilant.

Or it could be that the preparations for Satya and others were finally ready now.

Anyhow, if we dont return for more than three months, should we go back to explain the situation? (Soma)

In order to return to Radeus soon, he went to the Holy City without telling anyone. Soma couldnt say that he was going to explain things until everything was all over.

He thought so, but Hildegard shook her head.

No, you dont have to. It will be easy for me to do that, so I will explain it. I think its fine because I told them, since they were conveniently there, that you wont be able to come back for a while. (Hildegard)

Hmm, is that so? That really helps. (Soma)

No matter how extraordinary his leg strength was, he wouldnt be able to return to this place within three days even if he ran with all his might. It meant that he couldnt study once, and it was a pain because he couldnt afford to do that.

Of course, even if that was the case, he should explain the situation properly with his own mouth, but

For the time being, I have to convince them. I would like to explain once at some point (Soma)

Hmm I cant say if thats possible. As I said, each seal should be far from each other and there was already one here. (Satya)

But its not impossible. To begin with, the Devil is not going to stay at one place. (Hildegard)

Well. I mean thats why I cant say anything. I cant deny the possibility that the Devil will approach the seal. (Satya)

Im grateful if it doesnt go there, but then, theres no reason for it to go to Radeus, right? After all, they wont stay at one place. (Soma)

If it didnt go there, Soma also wouldnt have to go there. If he gave priority to make a contact with the Devil, the preparation would be delayed since it wasnt possible to remain here.

Well, I cant help but worry about that. If you really want to, its fine to tell me about the situation from time to time. (Hildegard)

Are you sure? (Soma)

It was certainly helping him, but it was definitely a ha.s.sle. However, Hildegard shrugged, telling him not to worry about it.

Im worried about the situation over there. Even though Ive managed to some extent, Im practically leaving the Academy alone. By the way, theres not much difference as seeing how they are doing right now. (Hildegard)

Hmm, is that so it really helps. (Soma)

What do you need to worry about? (Hildegard)

Wow, youre obviously trying to score a point, Hildegard. (Satya)

Youre noisy! Dont mix in a weird monologue! (Hildegard)

Rather, if you pretend that its nothing, you should at least do something about the looseness of your mouth. (Satya)

You dont have to tell me that! (Hildegard)

Its fine to joke around with each other, but wont we annoy many people if we dont move soon? (Soma)

The twilight sky was spreading outside the window, and the darkness was approaching. In general, it was about time for dinner, and like lunch, Soma and Hildegard couldnt go out, so it was necessary to have it early.

Well, strictly speaking, they didnt have to worry when going under public eye, but it would be unreasonable to leave Satya and go to the dining room by themselves. Also, if they brought a meal, they didnt have to worry about it from the beginning, but it was an act that caused unnecessary effort and inconvenience.

That was why it was necessary to head to the dining room as soon as possible this time as well.

Well, youre right. Ill stop her from making fun of herself for now, and lets go to the dining room soon. (Satya)

You the way you said that makes me feel? Do you think I was making fun of myself!? (Hildegard)

Well, no matter how I look at it, you were doing that, but you dont have to worry about it, you know? (Soma)

Soma!? (Hildegard)

Soma stood up from the spot, shrugging at Hildegard, who opened her eyes wide. After spending a lot of time here, he didnt feel like doing anything else other than having meals.

Immediately afterwards, Soma turned to the dining room, leaving Hildegard, who had a stern look, and Satya, who was laughing.

Sophia casually squinted as she watched the setting sun.

The direction was strangely the direction where the Holy City should be. She wondered if he was seeing the same thing, and she smiled wryly.

I wonder what are you thinking (Kraus)

What is it? (Sophia)

When she turned her gaze to the voice, Kraus eyes were on her. Rather than leaking a wry smile, she felt that sign. She wouldnt have seen it at least that moment.

That was because his face was pointing out of the window, similar as her.

Its nothing. But I feel like it wasnt that way. Perhaps, I should say that you may feel the same. (Sophia)

I see, thats certainly not the case. But I probably dont mind about it today. Thats because what weve done so far has been wasted. (Kraus)

Yeah. (Sophia)

While saying that, what came to her mind was what happened in the daytime today. However they would move from now on no, Hildegard suddenly appeared when they were discussing it, which had already become a firm determination.

And she came with a threatening look that they werent sure whether she was angry or in a rush. She apologized for jumping to a wrong conclusion.

While they were all stunned, the appearance of her leaving after saying only what she wanted to say was shocking.

I think she was more intelligent and reliable in the old days. (Sophia)

Well, maybe shes changed too. I dont know whether its for the better or the worse. (Kraus)

At least considering this time alone, I can only say that its in the bad direction. That alone isnt enough to convince me. (Sophia)

No matter how they thought about this matter, it wasnt a matter that it could be solved immediately. The evidence no longer existed, but Sophia and Kraus were certainly seeing it. It was necessary to ask properly what was going on.

Although she could guess the general idea where Hildegard used the word escaping, there were many things that she didnt understand. Besides, it was about making a move as a country, and its policy had been set in most parts.

Thus, it was impossible for them to be convinced when Hildegard only said that.

Still, we were convinced that wasnt the case, but we just let it go. (Sophia)

That shows how much she is trusted. Besides, it would be better in many ways if the matter is settled. (Kraus)

Well, youre right. (Sophia)

Sophia was somehow agreed when saying it. The appearance of complaining was just a pose.

To be honest, I was relieved. (Sophia)

What does that mean? (Kraus)

She knew what he wanted to say.

He probably meant that he couldnt make a move as a country. Perhaps, it meant that he didnt have to deal with the power that wouldnt help him when he moved.

Or maybe

Well? I wonder what the meaning is. (Sophia)

She probably knew without asking, that her husband was quite mean because he dared to ask such a thing.

However, Sophia didnt say the word. Instead, she turned her gaze out of the window again.

Sophia squinted at her gaze as she was convinced. In any case, it was true that this matter was one of her concerns. There was no mistake about that, but Sophia wasnt pleased.

It was because there was something swelling in her chest that she couldnt identify. She couldnt put it into words It was probably a vague premonition.

There was no basis. However, it was swelling from inside her chest as if it were aching.

There was no way that it would end simply.

While feeling something similar to an anxiety, Sophia let out her breath toward the dark sky.

TLN:

I wanted to translate three chapters instead but these two chapters drained my mental capacity. Let me apologize if its difficult to understand. Im not sure why but sometimes the author is using an unsuitable word. For example, I had to change the word learn to teach/tell after reading these two chapters again and again.
