I Was Just Having Fun With The Time Limit – Chapter 116

Chapter 116

“So all you have to do is ask. I am your brother, and I will not refuse any request you make.”

I wish you would.

Thinking about it some more, it didn’t matter whether I was good at it or not.

Only one thing mattered.

I hope Isabel is not hurt.

The moment Isabel stumbled, everything tilted, and I felt terrible.

“So don’t overdo it.”

Isabel looked very precarious.

I wish she hadn’t lied about being good at swordsmanship and enjoying hardship.

It’s okay, it’s fun, I’m so happy.

I wish she hadn’t pretended everything was okay.

I wish she hadn’t lived so precariously.

Because Kaman had experienced it so deeply, he wanted Isabel to be different from his younger days.

“I will be a good family to you, so lean on me. Please open your heart and be honest.”

“……”

“I’m glad you weren’t hurt.”

Kaman very carefully lowered Isabel.

He felt his hands trembling, as if he were afraid she might break.

‘Anyone would think I’ve returned alive from the battlefield.’

Seeing him like that, she felt a little sorry for pretending to fall.

“Were you that worried about me?”

“Yes.”

Isabel smiled.

“See? You can speak kindly.”

“……”

Kaman froze.

Suddenly, he came to his senses and realized he was babbling.

‘What…… What did I just say?’

Kaman couldn’t remember exactly what he had said. He seemed to have instinctively blurted out whatever came to mind.

However, he felt dazed, and somehow fluffy.

It was a strange and bizarre feeling he had never felt before.

But this feeling wasn’t so bad.

“Thank you, Oppa.”

“……”

He also has a family now.

✦✦✦✦✦✦

Kim Beolkkul, who had regained his senses, cautiously approached Isabel.

『Kim Beolkkul, reflect.』

And he went to the wall himself, knelt down, and raised his arms.

Tears welled up in his eyes as he thought that Isabel had almost gotten hurt because of him.

『Kim Beolkkul, bad.』

『Bad temper, Kim Beolkkul.』

『I won’t do it again.』

Isabel sighed and stroked Kim Beolkkul’s head.

Kim Beolkkul’s language was a magical form of human language, so the deep regret contained in the magic was accurately conveyed to Isabel.

After feeling Kim Beolkkul’s heart, she felt a little sorry for him too.

It was true that she had neglected Kim Beolkkul since she came to the Jirdel Base Camp.

‘Come to think of it, Honey has just been staring at me quietly for days.’

She remembered it vaguely.

Honey was waiting for her endlessly, wondering when she would pay attention to him, when she would make eye contact with him, and when she would spend time with him.

When their eyes met, he would wag his tail like a puppy, but then he would become dejected.

‘I’ve been a bit indifferent because I’m busy.’

So she apologized sincerely.

“I wasn’t indifferent, I’m really sorry. I sincerely apologize. Instead, let’s take a walk together today, eat snacks, and do that. Okay?”

『Kim Beolkkul, unqualified.』

“What qualifications do you need?”

Isabel hugged Kim Beolkkul and lifted him high.

“You’re Kim Beolkkul.”

『Kim Beolkkul, touched.』

『Kim Beolkkul, will be good.』

『Kim Beolkkul, won’t cause trouble.』

Isabel pulled her lower jaw up to her upper lip and held back tears.

Seeing that, Kaman smiled faintly without even realizing it.

‘Yes. That’s what I wanted to say after all.’

He babbled on and on.

He couldn’t even remember exactly what he had said.

In fact, even now, his mind was so dizzy that he couldn’t organize his thoughts.

He didn’t even know his own feelings, but Isabel summed it up neatly in just a word or two.

“What qualifications do you need? You’re Kim Beolkkul.”

What qualifications do you need?

Kaman put those words in his mouth several times and chewed on them.

Meanwhile, the tamed Kim Beolkkul placed an invitation on Isabel’s hand.

『This. I’ll give it back.』

Isabel took the invitation and examined the outside.

‘The sender was the person in charge of the Jirdel Base Camp, right?’

Only his rank, Lieutenant General, was known, but his identity was a secret.

The commander in charge of the Jirdel Base Camp was a strategic asset in itself, so it was classified.

Of course, if Isabel had put her mind to it, it wouldn’t have been difficult to find out his name, but she hadn’t bothered to.

But the name was clearly written on the invitation.

『Lieutenant General, Armitel.』

‘Huh? Wait a minute. Armitel? Armitel?’

Armitel? Why is this name here?

‘Was she in charge of the Jirdel Base Camp at this point?’

For the first time since her possession, a person related to the original female lead appeared.

✦✦✦✦✦✦

‘Man Kalf’, who had attacked Isabel, was of commoner origin and had achieved great success, rising to the rank of Brigadier General.

He was clearly an excellent soldier in terms of skill alone.

However, he was always overlooked.

It was largely because he was born in the wrong era.

‘It’s because Lieutenant General Armitel was there during the era when Brigadier General Man Kalf lived……’

Armitel was nothing less than an idol to all commoners.

Armitel swept away all the ‘youngest commoner-born’ achievements.

Armitel joined the military at the age of eight, made numerous contributions and achieved outstanding military records, and then became a General（Lieutenant General）.

The world always remembers only the first place, so Man Kalf was always overshadowed by her halo.

‘At this point in time, she would be in her mid-20s……’

Considering that the average age of Lieutenant Generals was around 45, she was a legendary figure who rose to the rank of Lieutenant General in her 20s.

Armitel actually did everything that could be pointed out as lacking realism and plausibility if used as a novel subject.

‘Armitel is…… the older sister of the female lead, right?’

Since the female lead was originally a dragon, she probably wasn’t her real older sister.

However, the novel didn’t go into detail about that. Armitel thinks of the female lead as her younger sister, and the female lead thinks of Armitel as her older sister.

‘And they’re very close.’

The female lead was Armitel’s youngest sibling.

Since the female lead is the same age as me, there’s an age difference of about 18 years.

Armitel felt very sorry that she couldn’t take good care of her younger sibling because she was too busy, and she always had a deep affection for the female lead.

‘And later, she sides with Arun and the female lead and betrays Bilotian.’

A fine sword is only a fine sword when it’s in my hand; in someone else’s hand, it becomes a terrifying weapon.

‘I have to stop Armitel from betraying Bilotian.’

Even when she leaves, she will leave after giving her family a new life.

She had already changed a lot of the novel’s content, but she still had to do her best.

Perhaps this meeting was an opportunity.

Isabel’s mind became complicated.

‘It can’t be helped that the male lead and female lead meet, since it’s an absolute setting of this novel……’

The content and settings of the novel are bound to change. The more trivial the setting, the more flexibly it changes, especially if the author hasn’t set it specifically.

However, absolute settings are difficult to change.

‘For example, my predicted death……’

The Mark of Narvidal is an absolute setting fixed by the author.

So no matter how hard Isabel tries, she will die when she turns 21.

Thinking that way, the love between the male lead and female lead was the most absolute setting .

‘Since I won’t be bullying Arun, they probably won’t attack Bilotian……?’

You never know.

She also had to keep in mind that some unexpected event could happen and things could end up going according to the original story.

Anyway, the character ‘Armitel’ is set to betray Bilotian in the future.

It was quite an important setting, so it seemed like a good idea to have at least a minimal safety device in place beforehand.

For the sake of her family who will be left behind in this land after she leaves.

✦✦✦✦✦✦

“I didn’t expect you to invite me, Lieutenant General Armitel.”

“It is an honor to meet you, Princess Isabel. Please have a seat.”

Isabel blinked.

‘Wow, she’s beautiful.’

Overall, she had a similar atmosphere to Kiruen.

She was shorter than Kiruen, but her expression was sharper, making her more difficult to approach.

‘I liked short hair.’

There was a large scar on Armitel’s cheek, but such a scar did not affect her beauty in any way.

Armitel poured tea herself and said,

“I apologize. The Man Kalf incident was my fault. I should have paid more attention to managing my subordinates. Because I was away at the time, a big incident occurred. As the person in charge of this place, I will take responsibility for the related matters and pay the price. I apologize.”

“No. In a way, Brigadier General Man Kalf was also a victim.”

Isabel didn’t know exactly, but she knew it had something to do with Wilhelm.

He was probably under some kind of black magic or mental magic.

“……Do you really think so?”

“Yes. If we assume that it really is related to Wilhelm, it would have been difficult for Brigadier General Man Kalf to resist.”

Man Kalf was a capable soldier, but ability is always relative.

Wilhelm was the Creation Mage of the Magic Federation, after all.

“You are truly insightful.”

After a brief tea time, Isabel asked,

“Why did you invite me to this tea time?”

“That’s……”

At that moment, Isabel, who had been preoccupied with Armitel’s settings and the female lead, heard an unexpected story.
