Chapter 337
[21st Round] It’s Hard to Act!
After that, there was nothing I could do.
“Leave this to me, hubby.”
As soon as my cowardly wife reached out her hand in the direction of the bug and snapped her fingers, he immediately disappeared.
That was the power of the G.o.d-Creator.
In the world of Fantasy, the only way to resist it was to become “G.o.d” themselves.
But that wasn’t all.
She could view someone else’s “personal file.”
***
I could look into my senior’s past with the help of the Chaos Artifacts, and Ssosiel used a similar principle.
The difference was that she could look into the person’s past directly through the person themselves.
Usually, faculty members could only look through the students’ personal files, but there were no such conditions and restrictions for Ssosiel, the G.o.d-Creator of Fantasy.
Able to peer into the history of any living creature in Fantasy, she checked the bug’s life history.
Starting from the day it appeared.
“My king, is there something bothering you?”
“I think the queen’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s are as beautiful as always, Esillis,” said the dejected Elf King, sitting by the window, from where Companion A and Companion B could be seen.
The queen lying on the bed frowned in response.
“Really? And now I see that the “king” is very small and limp as if I do not excite him at all.”
“Ahem, ahem!”
“Can’t you honestly tell me your worries?”
“…”
“Elfheim, you are my light, my master, my teacher, my senior, my love, my man, my husband. I lived only for you from the day Your Majesty saved me from the black market auction on the Central Continent. Gazing into Your Majesty’s eyes, I immediately see what you think of the b.r.e.a.s.t.s of that human maid.
“Oh, that’s a little scary…”
“Hoo-hoo-hoo! Since time immemorial, females have had an extraordinary intuition. I became your first queen, knowing you will be a great ruler.”
“That is a blatant fraud…”
The queen carefully descended from their bed and approached Elfheim, covering her naked body with a thin blanket.
Kneeling in front of him, she pressed her cheek against his thigh and whispered, “Great Elf King.”
“…”
“Elfheim, you gave up all the wealth of the Lanuberk family to save your dirty people. You are everything to us.”
“If not for me, another elf would have done it anyway.”
“If that were true, we wouldn’t have been feeding on insects for thousands of years.”
“That’s the First Elf King’s fault…”
“I’m sure you’re aware, Third Elf King, that the history of this country is very simple. If you’re happy, all elves are happy, and if you’re sick, all elves are sick. If you’re sad, all elves are sad. Likewise… if you die, our race will perish.”
“There is nothing eternal in the world. Not even me.”
“There was once a time when Your Majesty looked at my chest and said, ‘Even if the future looks bleak, do not give up."”
“Did I really say that?”
“Yes. Due to my young age, I couldn’t understand what you were talking about then.”
“A bleak future… Right.”
“I look forward to the day when you tell me about your concerns.”
“… Thank you, Esillis.”
“If you want to express your grat.i.tude, then spend your energy on me. I want to have your baby as soon as possible.”
“Hahaha…”
“I will prepare you a snack so you can gather strength before nightfall, sir.”
The queen came out of the bedroom with a strange smile on her face, leaving Elf King Elfheim alone in the room, muttering to himself, “Is there anything darker than the future where I’m a fake? Hmm?!”
I was already bored with the useless conversation of the stupid elven couple, but at that moment, something interesting happened.
PSSS!
Ignoring the laws of physics, another Elfheim jumped out of his body as if he was multiplied by two.
He had no clothes on, but it was definitely him.
That was the bug.
Calmly, it said, “I praise you for your excellent judgment, Elfheim. The legend of the Hero who was erased from history, the actions of the Demon Lord who knew the future, the reincarnation of warriors from the past. The decisive sign was the third queen from the future, thanks to which you came to the only correct conclusion.”
“Who are you?”
“You should know. I am you, Elfheim, the great king admired by all elves. You suffer, knowing the efforts of those who were sacrificed to found this country where your people can live in peace and tranquility are only a mirage.”
“… Nonsense. I’m not as talkative as you are.”
“Really? I was definitely very talkative, trying to win the favor of the Giant King, my father. I spoke a lot and pathetically to avoid repeating my terrible mistakes in the past. Don’t deny it, Elfheim. I’m real. You just don’t want to acknowledge me.”
“Guards… Hmm!”
Elfheim, trying to summon the guards outside the door of their bedroom, had his mouth covered by the bug’s palm.
Looking into his eyes, it said, “But I have a power that you don’t have. The power I got from the Fantasy’s Wrath… Oh. I apologize. I don’t have enough time to talk about everything.”
“No… Esillis…”
“You can leave your three wives to me and relax now, Great Elf King Elfheim.”
PSSSS!
The real Elfheim faded until he completely disappeared.
Only his clothes remained.
“Sir, I brought you a snack… My G.o.d! Of course, I myself insisted on this, but aren’t you in too much of a hurry? You’ve even already completely undressed… Of course, I don’t mind at all.”
“I like your small b.r.e.a.s.t.s too, Esillis.”
“It can’t be… Your Majesty? Did you use self-hypnosis to get over the dark future that you were worried about?”
“I decided to forget about it.”
“Ah! My king! I know how to repay Your Majesty’s sacrificial love, but I’m not sure if I’ll be enough…”
“You are enough.”
“Ah! Sir Elfheim~”
… That was where I lost interest.
Elf King Elfheim, who decided to love b.r.e.a.s.t.s of all sizes, ruled the Elf Empire well.
Queens…
He didn’t doubt them. Instead, he tried to love their flat chest.
That was how it went on until now.
***
In an instant, I noticed the absurdity of the bug’s behavior.
“All the queens were blinded by love.”
Elfheim was locked in the same s.p.a.ce with his own daughter for eternity but never touched her.
It wasn’t because he was a caring and loving father.
One could only be ethical for a short time in confinement.
Rather, it was because he didn’t consider his daughter to be of the opposite s.e.x. She didn’t fit his taste, after all.
“Incredible…”
Thanks to the contract, Shadow A shared the vision with me, though it shocked her.
“Don’t worry,” I said, trying to console her. “You can change the size of your b.r.e.a.s.t.s at will with your skill. Therefore, you are better than the other two queens.”
“Sir Hero? What shocked me was the fact that I was responsible for the bug posing as His Majesty Elfheim…”
Indeed.
Two millennia ago, Shadow A helped her “young husband” found the country from the future.
Until that time, there were no problems.
However, as “young Shadow A” gradually grew, her lack of breast growth became suspicious.
Based on this and other signs, Elfheim concluded that they and the world around them weren’t real.
He did it in a slightly different way than Shakespeare, but he reached the truth.
Elf King Elfheim.
I hated to admit it, but aside from his pathetic tastes, he was an outstanding elf.
“Hey, hubby?”
“What?”
“I don’t know what to do next. Should we resurrect Elfheim or leave the situation in this state?” Ssosiel asked anxiously.
I answered her question with a question of my own.

“Did you see it too, Ssosiel? His army.”
“Yeah…”
The bug not only acted on Elfheim’s behalf.
Gradually, he changed national policy.
Like Elfheim, he made peace with other races through diplomacy, but within his own borders, he trained troops.
Secretly.
Elves in important positions in the country were aware of this, but the bug convinced them, saying, “Since we are weak, we must prepare for war more carefully than other races.”
But the real goal of his army was invasions, not protection.
That was enough for me to reach a decision. “Right now, Both Elfheim’s presence and absence will cause problems, won’t they?”
“That’s right.”
Elfheim, who had disappeared, would have a long-term memory loss.
If he suddenly changed his behavior and began shouting, “I hate small b.r.e.a.s.t.s!” He would be mistaken for a fake.
But if we didn’t resurrect him, the elves would go to war with the Giant Empire, believing they killed their king during negotiations.
That wouldn’t do.
“If such a grand event begins before the heroes are summoned, it would be problematic. We need to postpone it. The heroes will have to be the ones to stop the war. That way, it’ll serve as a great aid in my juniors’ growth.”
“How do you suggest we do that?”
“You’re starting off on the wrong foot, Ssosiel.”
“Did I say something wrong?”
“Look around.”
“… Oh. I get what you mean now.”
She froze time for all the dummies in the room, who were frightened by the sudden death of the Elf King.
She then put up a sign that said “no entry” in front of the building’s entrance.
“Summon Acting Teacher.”
“Okay.”
Answering the new director’s call, Acting Teacher appeared in front of us.
She no longer showed any hostility.
On the contrary, she behaved politely.
“You called for me, Director Ssosiel?”
“Yes. My husband wants to see you.”
“… I see.”
She stared at me, her expression showing how tense she was.
I no longer cared about past grievances. After all, at the end of our battle, I emerged as the winner, and she the loser. One word from my wife was enough to make her lose everything.
She was no longer my enemy.
On the contrary, she was now nothing but a tool for me to use.
“Can you play male roles, Acting Teacher?”
“Yes. s.e.xual intercourses will be a problem, but I can play them. Who exactly do you have in mind?”
“Elf King Elfheim.”
“… It will be quite difficult. Unlike those who are strong because their combat power is simply superior to that of others, his charisma is what makes him powerful, which he even used to unite his race together. In addition, his habit of spying on women’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s all day is a difficult task for me since I’m a woman myself. I will have to constantly pretend to be interested in the chest of the same s.e.x…”
Elfheim had a personality so unique that even a professional actor didn’t want to play his part.
Smiling, I said, “It won’t be as difficult as you think, considering you won’t have to play it for a long time.”
“How come?”
“The scenario you’ll be enacting is about a terminally ill Elfheim, suffering from anxiety and depression, dying next year.”
“Ah! That’s not hard at all.”
“Is that enough, Ssosiel?”
“Yes. Leave the rest to me.”
My cowardly wife was already doing some fine-tuning.
Manipulating the memory of witnesses wasn’t the best method, so we separated this s.p.a.ce and rewound time.
And it all started anew.
“Ssosiel, are you finished?”
“Yes.”
“Then…”
I turned to the pathetic Elf King, who was already looking at me.
“Would you mind if I intervene in your interesting conversation?”
“Of course not.”
“Save… Kh?!”
I grabbed him by his cervical region between his 6th and 7th vertebrae.
Acting Teacher looked at me as if asking, ‘What kind of development is this?!’
Did she really not understand?
Loosening my grip, I said, “You won’t get a second chance.”
“Yes, Yes! I will keep that in mind!”
“… Let’s go, Ssosiel.”
Having finished my business on the Southern Continent, I headed to the Eastern Continent.
