I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 178
True Faith (1)
The royal capital is in an uproar over the subjugation of the magic tower that kidnapped the saint.
This noisy banquet is scheduled to last for seven days and nights.
Since I am the main character of the banquet, I have already been attending the banquet for four days in a row. Luckily… I have a partner to go with every day.
“──This is Sir Corin Locke and Lord Runia Arden, the first swordsman of the House of Arden!”
The problem is that the partner is changing every day.
“Oh my god, the partner has changed again. Yesterday she was the second daughter of the Arden family, yesterday she was a nun of the Church of Zeon, right?”
“Three days ago, she was Lady Dunareff.”
Glancing glances. I saw a newspaper this morning spreading rumors that I had changed my partner, and I guess it will be the same tomorrow.
“What are you looking at?”
“It’s a bit noisy around here.”
Today’s partner was Runia. I’m receiving partner applications from girls in order… Isn’t this what I’m supposed to do?
“It’s something to think about because Fiancée is so proud. However.”
Take my tie! Runia pulls him in. Her confident smile filled my vision.
“Don’t worry about anyone else. You should only look at me today, right?”
“Kkeuk hum…!”
Is this what girl crush is like? As befits a heroine of her time, her actions were uninhibited and confident.
“You’ve been busy these days. You’ve met the king, the saint, and even the queen of the back alleys.”
“Ah… do you even know that?”
“There was someone who testified that you spent a long time with her in the odd-numbered banquet hall.”
“…Do you even know who the person who testified is?”
“Once before, it bared its sharp teeth and said it wanted to eat me.”
Oh… Edna is an all-rounder, but I never thought she’d be obsessed with Runia.
“Of course it didn’t work out.”
“Of course. I have no hobby of quenching my lust with whipping. More than anything, I don’t like the idea of this as defense.”
“If you had to choose between S and M, Runia, it would definitely be S.”
“I can fulfill your fantasy if you want?”
“Haha… I’ll refuse. My taste is extremely normal.”
But Runia in bondage… Hehe, I’m sure it’ll be a treat to the eyes. Well, I’m still doing it.
“More than that, Runia. Isn’t today’s dress too… revealing?”
Runia’s outfit is unconventional. She wore nothing but suede sandals and a luxurious dress that boldly exposed her breasts.
Thanks to this, the clean white skin is exposed from shoulder to toe, making it an outfit that cannot be worn unless you are confident in your own body.
“There are hot areas in the East, so party dresses have this kind of vibe. Well, I guess I usually wear a little more than this.”
“It’s true just by looking at the sisters’ clothes, but… please show these things when it’s just you and me. It would be a waste to show them to others.”
“If that’s the case.”
When Runia snapped her fingers, five swordsmen in dresses appeared from nowhere and approached.
One of them brought a bear scarf and the other brought a thick black fox fur scarf and draped it over her shoulders.
ah! And the men around him let out sighs. Anyway, as men, we naturally headed to the private space of the terrace.
“It looks like you are prepared.”
“What~ My fiancé took on a woman of this size as a partner and I put in a lot of effort to brag about it.”
“Ahaha…”
“If you want to be Aden’s son-in-law, you have to be confident wherever you are.”
Hmm… Alisha is overwhelmed, but even Runia appears like this.
“Wasn’t it a false engagement?”
“Is that what you thought? This is a wound.”
Runia put her hands around my neck and made eye contact with me. The close proximity of her bare skin clearly stimulated the tip of my nose.
“How far did you go with your sister?”
“Did you say Ma?”
“Did he say that money? It was all revealed in his facial expression.”
“Hmm…”
I recall a memory from a few days ago. Alicia’s confession and a sticky and dense kiss. I never imagined that the eight-legged Arisha would be this bold.
“Say it quickly.”
“Key kiss.”
“Tell me in detail.”
I had no choice but to be honest about Runia’s interrogation, which was pressuring me right in front of my face.
When she heard my confession, she seemed a little surprised but let out a lively laugh.
“Hahaha, that was quite a bold move. Yes, he has to be at that level to be considered a candidate for Aden’s successor.”
“I… technically, aren’t you and Runia-san competitors?”
I said it myself, but isn’t Runia’s reaction a bit strange?
“Beautiful sisters fighting over one man. May you know with honor.”
“No matter how you look at it, this is an introduction to a cuckolding drama where you wash away blood with blood…” “I
guess that’s all it is when you say it’s a cuckolding show. My sister isn’t the only girl who adores you, right?”
“Did you… know?”
“If you don’t know that, you’re a fool.”
Yes, I am a fool…
“Well, don’t feel so burdened. A man who is a hero must know how to take and satisfy multiple women.”
“What do you mean?”
“If you are going to walk the path of a hero, have the boldness to conquer all the beauties you see.”
“What’s the problem with those sisters?! Don’t they really have some strange genes in their heads?!”
Is it so easy to say that wives are different from their husbands? What happened to the sisters’ romantic views?
“Still, I feel jealous that my younger sister is ahead of me. What belongs to my younger sister is mine. I have the right and duty to take it from my younger sister.”
Then suddenly Runia hugs my waist and grabs my chin. She looks down at me and raises a charming eyebrow.
“No matter what you do with your sister, you have to do it at least at the same level as me.”
“Who are you?”
Her lips approach.
My time with Runia was definitely more intense and sticky than my younger sister.
………
……
…
“Kkeukkeum…!”
While Runia had a business talk with the general of the kingdom’s army, I ate some food in the banquet hall.
The food at the banquet hall is mostly light, so the taste of Runia shows no signs of disappearing.
“Haa……”
After Hwa and Ran, it was Alisha. And even Lunia… When I think about Marie, it seems like the plot of me being an asshole is becoming complete… I can’t believe
I was this popular… Why wasn’t there a relationship like this on Earth?
This never happened when I played with Younghee, Hanbyul, Seyoung, Cheolho, Sangwoo, and Misha Fujiwara.
Maybe it’s because we’re all solitary, but we also went on friendship trips together. Suddenly, I remember the time I went on a hot spring trip to Hokkaido with that guy Sangwoo. The scenery there was amazing.
I want to go to the winter festival one more time. Everything was good except the gay bar. Why did I ‘accidentally’ go to that Dell?
‘Ugh… I guess I’ll go on a hot spring trip when it’s all over.’
I can’t go on a friendship trip anymore like I did back then, but it would be nice if I could afford to go with all the Guardians members.
As I was reminiscing about my time on Earth, I saw a familiar member in the banquet hall.
A boy who was neatly dressed but looked somewhat depressed. Germain Luther. He is a spy from the Catholic Church.
“Hey, Germain.”
“Huh? Senior Corrin?”
“Even though it’s not an academy, I just call him ‘hyung.’ Oh, you can’t say ‘hyung.’”
“Uhm… bro.”
“Are you enjoying the banquet?”
“Just so-so.”
The Catholic Church… Ever since he found out that the Zeruem Church was carrying on dirty dealings with the Magic Tower, Germain had always seemed worried.
“I wonder if I deserve to come to a place like this. I didn’t do anything in the subjugation.”
As Germain was also a member of the Guardians, he participated in the subjugation of the Magic Tower.
Of course, this guy must have been ordered by the Zeruem Church to secretly hand over information about our Guardians’ movements and the kingdom’s army to the Magic Tower.
“Well, isn’t it true that you can’t always play a leading role in war? Since you are still young, you will be able to play an active role in the future.”
“…….”
Germain’s complex nerves are revealed through his expressions and face. Maybe he still feels guilty about deceiving me.
He has been brainwashed by religion since he was young, so he won’t be able to change his values easily.
Well, it depends on the guy’s choice. Until then, I plan to use it in moderation.
“Hey, try this cake. The palace pastry chef’s skills are amazing.”
“It’s because I don’t like sweet things. There are too many sweet things here.”
Although he keeps it a secret, it seems that the extravagant food of high society does not suit a former priest of a religious order.
“If the food here doesn’t suit you, you can request it separately. If you go across the hall, there is a separate restaurant for dining. It’s a buffet.”
“Uh… was there something like that?”
I also knew this because I went with Mir in the previous episode. Because it is not a friendly neighborhood for first-time visitors.
“Hey, let’s go. Let’s eat and come back.”
If you come without a partner and have nothing to do, shouldn’t you also take care of your country?
* * * *
The celebratory banquet was over and the errands in the royal capital were coming to an end.
It was time to meet her.
Dark late night. Royal Park near Wangdo.
To be precise, after my date with Hwaran, I went to the cave that marked the finale, and Master. And then there is Madame Josephine.
“I personally am against it.”
Madame Josephine expressed her opposing opinion without any hesitation.
“Come on, Clara. It’s Corrin’s decision. I’m sure everyone has their own thoughts.”
Erin comforts Lady Josephine. Rather, I am in a position to oppose it, but I wonder what I would do if Master said that. Aren’t you too weak for me?
“Erin. You are too soft on student Corin.”
See, Lady Josephine says that too.
Well, anyway, my plan can’t be carried out without these two people’s permission. Now that we’re here, Lady Josephine has half agreed.
“Honestly, I don’t know where this will go.”
“……That’s such an irresponsible statement. The reason why Erin didn’t intervene in the church for a long time was to prevent chaos if Danan’s faith spreads again. If the church’s faith, which has already spread as quickly as it has spread, is denied, the repercussions are expected. “I can’t do it.”
“At least it will be better than the destruction of the world. The Catholic Church was and is a lousy group, but the branch that extends to the Protestant Church will become a great threat in the future.”
“So what evidence is there to prove that…”
“Clara.”
Master restraining Lady Josephine. Lady Josephine does not know that I have experienced the future. But Master Erin knew about my regression and trusted me 100%.
“Justice doesn’t always choose the best. Sometimes you have to choose the lesser evil rather than the worst. Like when we killed many priests and wizards in the Witch Revolution.”
“…….”
“Honestly, I can’t predict which direction the children will take. But now that the threat of Tates is just around the corner… we have to make a choice.”
Teacher’s words of support once again. At that time, someone walked towards this place.
“Chairman? Professor Josephine?”
It was Estelle who visited alone and secretly, covered in a robe.
She looked surprised that not only I, but also Master and Madame Josephine were there. However, he soon regains his usual composure and smiles slyly.
“Hmm, I thought it was a date alone with my younger brother, but I’m sure you’ll be disappointed.”
“Oh, kinda. Let’s be serious. Seriously.”
“Sister is always serious~”
This person always tries to tease me by asserting his dominance over me. Although that point is both obnoxious and attractive.
“Rather than that, are you planning to show me something? Are the new chairman and Professor Josephine involved?”
“It’s not the degree of involvement, it’s the point. It’s difficult if these two people don’t agree.”
“Hmm…….”
Estelle Hadassa El Ras. A saint of the New Church. A child of God who serves the ‘Lord’ of the church more than anyone else.
Today, I would like to reveal the identity of my faith to her.
“Master, Madam. Please.”
“……okay.”
“I can’t help it. Student Erin Estelle. Please come in front of me.”
Two people stood in front of Josephine at her words. I watched this from a distance.
“Is it spatial movement?”
“Yes, but… it will be a little different from this world.”
“What is that…”
“You’ll find out when you get there.”
Space opens with Estelle’s questions. A part of Tir Na Nog, a paradise where Erin allows and Josephine can freely enter and exit.
Magmel, the paradise treasure island. I plan to send Estelle to the place where the gods’ residual thoughts remain.
────
The three people moved and I observed the star cluster while waiting for their return.
What conclusion will she draw from looking at the real gods?
In the game, she appeared only as a helper NPC, not as a playable party, and in the previous episode, she only acted as a saint of the church, so this is the first time such a case has occurred.
Now she will face the gods of the mythic age in Mag Mel and hear the truth. Because Estelle’s distant ancestors are there.
If you’re lucky, you might get some treasure from Dagda.
Only after an hour… two hours… three hours had passed did the sound of space opening in the cave ring out.
“Huh…!”
Estelle collapses in the open space, letting out her breath.
“Saint?”
“Corin… younger brother?”
She was sweating and out of breath and looked precarious, as if she had been greatly shocked. She stared at me with trembling eyes——
“—God.”
He stared at me with eyes that longed for God more than ever.
