Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 280 Alberta also had innocent times

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

— Alberta —

"Grandma, grandma, what happened to the last hero~"

Many, many years ago, when Alberta was still a cute and lively little girl who had no idea how dangerous the world was, she excitedly lay beside her grandmother Alia's bed, urging Alia to continue telling the story.

After inheriting the throne of the Elf Empire, Alberta's mother became very busy.

Her elder sister, on the other hand, followed her mother to learn various things in preparation for taking over the throne in the future.

When she was young, Alberta always liked to run to her grandmother Alia and listen to her tell all kinds of wonderful stories.

At that time, Alia was very old and ill, and had been bedridden for some time.

Now the grandmother and granddaughter get together and enjoy a warm time.

At the same time, it is also the last time of Alia.

Hearing Alberta's innocent question, Alya gave a troubled smile.

This question is not easy to answer.

Alberta now thinks that Alia must have been struggling at the time, wondering whether she should make up a happy ending to satisfy her expectations, or tell herself the cruel truth.

In short, Alberta knew that the hero whom Alia admired and respected finally died in the war.

The reason why fairy tales are called fairy tales is that they do not exist in any corner of the world.

From that time on, Alberta began to understand this truth.

When Alberta was 207 years old, equivalent to a human girl of or years old, Alia died of illness.

Alia left Alberta a letter and a very worn notebook.

From the letter, Alberta learned that the soul of Alia's twin sister, Illya, is still trapped in the time and space maze within Illya and Alia, guarding some kind of dangerous barrier.

This barrier was originally supposed to be guarded by Alia.

But in order to let Arya and her lover reunite, and out of guilt for the deceased hero, Illya always had a knot in her heart about his death. Illya replaced Arya and stayed there forever and alone.

Alia asked Alberta to save her sister if possible.

If that is not possible, Alia hopes that this request can be passed on to Alberta and her sister's children and grandchildren in the future, until...

"Ugh... I, I fell asleep~ Damn it, why can't I finish my work?"

Alberta got up from her desk, rubbed her blurry eyes, and complained as she looked at the piles of documents on the table.

She noticed that she cried in her sleep.

(grandmother……)

Alberta's lonely gaze fell on the old book beside the desk.

It was something Alia left for her, a tattered diary.

The contents of the diary record the entire experience of Alia and her twin sister Illya from the time they met the human named Will until the establishment of the Elf Empire.

Unfortunately, the first half of the diary has long been blurred for some reason.

This diary is also the reason why Alberta is now in Ilia Academy. She wants to fulfill her grandmother Alia's last wish and find out what she went through in the past.

Unfortunately, neither of these things has produced any significant results so far.

Two days ago, a powerful magical fluctuation appeared in the space-time maze.

A large amount of magic power broke through the entrance to the rift in the space-time maze and poured directly into the main castle.

Fortunately, there were no students taking classes in the main fort, so no casualties or unnecessary chaos were caused.

Alberta also knew what Alfred had done in there.

It's just that Alberta is too busy with chores to spare time, so it's not convenient for him to go directly to him to question the situation.

All Alberta can do now is pray, pray that the changes in the time and space maze are because Alfred has found the truth he wants, and Illya in the time and space maze is safe.

"Principal Alberta, you're awake."

Sabrina walked into the office and smiled at Alberta.

"What do you mean I woke up? Since you saw I was asleep, why didn't you wake me up?"

Alberta picked up the blanket that was originally draped over her body. It was definitely Sabrina who covered her with it.

"Because even if you, the normally extremely lazy principal, want to rush to finish the work now, there is no hope. In this case, you might as well take a good rest to avoid damaging your health."

"Don't make it sound like I'm always lazy. I'm actually very diligent."

"Have it?"

Sabrina showed a surprised expression and tilted her head cutely.

This reaction was obviously mocking, and it made Alberta very angry.

"of course!"

"Then can you tell me why you had already accumulated a lot of work for most of February before the attack by the Annu Cult, and pushed the work of the opening ceremony to me during the Easter event~?

I remember you pretended to be a student and had a lot of fun. "

There was a hint of reproach in Sabrina's smile, and... a subtle murderous intent.

Since she killed her enemy Marina on Easter Day, Sabrina's personality has changed a little.

Even if Marina's body disappeared, she might still be alive.

Sabrina was no longer as gloomy and repressed as before, and her usual cheerful expression became more frequent.

As a boss and best friend, Alberta was of course happy for Sabrina.

However, Sabrina was beginning to lose control of her emotions and gradually revealed her true self. Whenever she got angry, she looked very yandere, which made Alberta feel a little dangerous.

"No, that, that was to save next year's budget! The same thing happened with the work in February. It was all Alfred's fault for causing me trouble, like calling Ulysses and his wife over. Isn't that a waste of time?"

Alberta tried to defend herself.

"Whether it was you who called Al or the one who sent Ulysses and his wife, you were the one, right? And you only spent less than 16 hours dealing with matters related to Al, which did not affect your other normal work at all."

Sabrina retorted to Alberta, saying, "You're just being lazy, so stop making excuses for me now."

She now calls Alfred, just like Michelle, calling him "Al" directly and affectionately.

Alberta didn't know what Sabrina was thinking.

If she only regarded Alfred as a cute godson, it would be fine, but if not... Alberta felt a little sorry for Alfred, for being targeted by a yandere like Sabrina.

(No, there don’t seem to be many normal girls in that boy’s [Netherworld]. It’s a pity that he hasn’t been stabbed yet. Could it be some kind of strange BUFF of the Elect family?)

Alberta was escaping from reality by thinking about unimportant things, and just casually responded to Sabrina.

"Principal, you... forget it. Al asked me to pass on a message. He said he hopes to meet you alone sometime. He also wants you to meet someone."

Sabrina said.

When Alberta, who was originally lazy, heard Alfred say that he wanted her to meet someone, she suddenly felt as if her heart skipped a beat.

"Then, let's find a time right away!"
