The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

Chapter 462 Intermission

Aarons felt the hangover again after a long time.

In his previous life, a bottle of medium-strength distilled liquor would never have been able to knock him down...but this time his mind was indeed a little relaxed, so his body was unable to put up a decent resistance.

So when he woke up the next day, he found that it was already afternoon.

"Well... my head hurts..."

He still remembered that he drank a lot yesterday and said a lot of useless words under the influence of alcohol...but he had forgotten what he said specifically.

However, after he got up from bed despite the headache, he found that the person waiting for him in the living room was different from before.

"Hey, little guy, did you sleep well last night?"

"I drank too much and have a headache... Where's Qianyun?"

"Little girl, she went out alone in the morning."

Huang Yayin, who was only wearing a thin tank top and shorts, leaned lazily on the only sofa in the living room like a resting lioness.

Although that graceful figure was indeed quite sexy, Aarons did not have any desire in his heart... In his heart, Huang Yayin was more like a mother.

In his previous life, he was unable to fulfill his filial duty and had to bid farewell to his parents. After traveling to this world, he was also unable to gain the love of his family.

Therefore, he cherished the family-like relationship between him and Huang Yayin and did not want to overstep his boundaries.

"I'm out...it seems what I said yesterday was useful."

"Oh? Little guy, aren't you afraid that she will be upset?"

“…Although it will definitely be painful at first, it’s better than regretting it later.”

Aarons sighed, rubbed his forehead and walked into the kitchen, pouring a glass of water for himself and Huang Yayin.

Because of his hangover, he didn't want to think too much...so he didn't even want to ask why Huang Yayin appeared here during the day.

Huang Yayin didn't seem to intend to explain and was just lazily enjoying her rest time.

"...Where's Ms. Night Owl? Is she resting too?"

"She's working - haha, even though she says she doesn't like working, she's thinking about work when she's really asked to rest."

"Um... No, it looks like I won't be able to go to the academy today."

The splitting headache made Aarons completely unable to muster any strength, so he felt that he probably wouldn't be able to go out today.

…It should be okay if I don’t go for a day, right?

"Little guy, if you really don't want to go, then you don't have to go anymore."

"...That should be okay, right?"

"If you really think it's a burden, just give it up and we can think of other solutions."

Of course Aarons could tell that this was not a provocation or sarcasm - Huang Yayin really hoped that he would not be hurt too much.

But he didn't want to be protected in this way.

"No need, I just took a temporary leave today, and I will be back tomorrow as usual..."

"Little guy, you can't hold out like this for long."

After Aarons quietly rejected the proposal, Huang Yayin, who was originally lying on the sofa, suddenly sat up straight, and an inexplicable and terrifying light flashed in her scarlet eyes.

"We can't interfere with your fate, but we don't want to see you fall down halfway... and you have always been adding burdens to yourself, and never thought about giving these things to others to share."

After hearing such comments, Aarons, who was still having a headache, just laughed dryly twice and then fell silent.

In fact, Huang Yayin already knew the answer to this question, but she couldn't help but say it out loud...then, she suddenly burst into laughter.

"No, that's how you got here. So just keep going until the day you're rewarded."

“…I hope that day will come.”

Aarons didn't know whether Huang Yayin had already known the so-called "destiny", but he still decided to move forward in his own way.

Of course, let’s forget about it today.

……

——The anxiety is accumulating.

Is it because I didn’t meet that person today... No, this is just one of the reasons.

"...Mr. Zi, did you hear that? That..."

Why didn't that person come today? Was he injured? Or did he have something else to do?

After all...why did he come to this academy?

"Mr. Zi? Um... Mr. Al Mo is looking for you."

Is there a reason for coming here? Is it to find something in the forbidden library, or is there something else?

Perhaps, he wanted to help his talented little apprentice become a real magician?

"...Mr. Zi! Did you hear what I said?"

“Ah, I heard it…”

——I don’t know the answer to that question yet.

As long as you know the answer, you will not hesitate no matter what you want to do next.

After all, I have lived for a long time and I don't care about unnecessary things...

"Well, Al Mo is waiting for you outside. He said he has something important to report to you."

"How many times has this happened? I'm not his private tutor. I have no obligation to communicate with him one-on-one."

"That's... that being said, Al is a genius that both the dean and the guild master are optimistic about... If he reaches level five before graduation, he will be able to break the current record of the Magician Guild!"

——What does that have to do with me?

Just because that kid is a genius, does that mean I have to have a good relationship with him?

"Assistant Claire, do you think there is something wrong with what I did?"

"This... After all, Mr. Al is a genius that only appears once in a few hundred years. He will definitely achieve great things in the future. So if we can get closer to him now, we will definitely be rewarded in the future."

"Then just go and listen to what he wants to say."

——So vulgar that it’s annoying.

Because geniuses are sure to have a bright future, does that mean others must invest in time?

"Well... Mr. Al specifically asked for you when he came. The others have already asked."

"Name him? What does he think he is? The emperor?"

"You should go see him. He said he would wait outside if he couldn't see you..."

——Disgusting.

Perhaps this is what so-called opinion leaders are like - using their identities and labels to gain support from others, and then using the so-called "correctness" and "good intentions" to morally blackmail those who disobey, and finally incite their followers to crush all opposing voices.

And those mediocre people who huddle together with such guys for warmth will only keep making noise to others.

"If he wants to wait, then let him wait. I have no interest and no time to listen to him."

"Mr. Murasaki, if you continue to treat Al like this... the Magician's Guild will probably give you trouble if they find out."

"...Heh, let them try."

——That’s right, you don’t have to care about anything.

The eyes of others, the evaluation of society, the threat of power - these things are what the weak desire and fear, and they are completely meaningless to oneself.

In my own eyes, these things are not even as important as that person's finger.

"...I understand. I'll go tell Al now that you don't have time to see him."

"No, you may as well tell him plainly—I just don't want to see him or hear him."

Unfortunately, even if I really said so, that little kid probably wouldn't give up.

However, I have prepared another solution.

"By the way, have the materials I ordered been delivered?"

"The goods have arrived this morning! But what do you want to do with them?"

"To solve the problem, of course."

——And it is a once and for all solution.
