Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 30

Chapter 9 Menosorpo (4)

The next day.

I sat in my room and thought deeply.

‘Where do I test Menosorpho?’

Last time, I tested it in the vacant lot of the mansion. I thought it was a magic circle that wasn’t that great.

But the story changes now that we know that this is an ancient magic circle. Regardless of whether it is dangerous or not, you never know what will happen.

‘I’m glad it didn’t trigger.’

This time I knew how to activate it properly. That I should say ‘menosorpo’.

But this time, the problem is that we don’t know the effect of the magic circle.

If the magic circle is unnecessarily noisy and flashy, it cannot be hidden if done in the vacant lot of the mansion.

However, it makes no sense to do it at Constel.

There is a personal training room, but it is still uneasy.

‘Even if there was an explosion, it wouldn’t have happened.’

So, after deep thought, I

realized this.

I realized that it wasn’t something I could think of alone.

“…I really don’t want to do this.”

I took a stance.

From now on, you have to go through a very difficult process.

It’s painful, like cutting off my bones and flesh, but all of this will help me take a step forward.

I took a deep breath.

and.

“──Is there anyone out there?”

I shouted towards the door.

It feels like the hairs all over my body are standing up.

After a while, you hear the sound of calm but fast footsteps. As soon as the door opened

smoothly

, an elderly man bowed to me.

“Deacon Vicar. “Here it is.”

…and me now.

Did you call someone older than my father in the original world informally?

I feel like I’m committing a sin. I was just planning to call a maid who was passing by.

“That’s right. Vikar… Mr.”

“…Mr. Frontier?”

no.

The honorific never leaves my mouth.

‘no. wait.’

The butler must have a significant position within the mansion. Even if you are the son of an aristocrat, you will use an honorific title to show respect to your butler.

The problem is that I don’t know what Frontier was originally like.

‘But this is what happened!’

I decided to just give it a try.

“Mr. Vicar. “I’ve been having a hard time lately due to a lot of things going on.”

I swallowed while speaking.

I’m afraid my respect might sound strange to Vikar.

“…Yes, that’s right.”

Vikar responded calmly to my words.

But it’s so simple that I don’t know if he thinks my words are strange or not.

Truly a prestigious Roach. Even the butler is high class…!

“I want to rest without being disturbed by anyone. Is there a suitable place?”

In order to use Menosorpho, there must be no one around anyway. Even if a huge explosion occurs, only a passing wild animal would know.

A secluded place where no one is looking.

…is there one?

“Hmm, then how about the cabin you used to visit often?”

“hut?”

“yes. This is our family’s outbuilding. When I was young, I used to play there often. Elodie de Richae and… Oh, excuse me. “Now you are Elodie de Inies Richae.”

Frontier and Elodie? You two were really close.

…But it’s difficult.

I don’t know the way.

“If you want to go, I will bring a car for you. “Because the driver knows the address.”

Nice Vikar! Nice driver!

As expected, high class!

“Good. “Then right now.”

“…Are you saying that right?”

“yes.”

But Vikar must have been thinking about what I said and stroked his beard for a moment.

And then he said.

“But Mr. Frontier. “You’ve changed a lot.”

Excited.

“…is that so?”

I asked back, pretending to be calm, but my heart felt like it was going to jump out.

Was my way of speaking strange? Or was it a strange answer to just go straight away?

“Normally, when something like that happens, you would have had a good night’s sleep in your room. The distance to the cabin is quite a bit… I honestly thought you would be bothered.”

Ah, that’s it.

That’s why the word ‘just’ was strange.

“Now it’s even bothersome to sleep.”

“Hehe, it’s like Frontier. “Then I will hand it over to the driver first.”

“I will do it.”

Vikar then bowed politely and left the room as smoothly as he had come.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

‘…a hut.’

Although it was a place chosen to test Menosorpo.

The place where Frontier and Elodie used to be.

There was very little interest.

* * *

Frondier gets in the car and heads to the cabin.

A little later.

“No?”

Cybel stood in front of the Roach Mansion with a devastated face.

“Yes, he left a little while ago.”

The gatekeeper guarding the front of the mansion answered.

Cybel slumped her tired shoulders.

‘Why, at a time like this…’

Cybel felt the anxiety inside his body growing.

I heard an ominous sound from Serf yesterday.

-Our next ‘target’ is Frontier de Roach.

I don’t think he’ll attack Frontier as soon as he says that.

But I thought I should let Frontier know in advance.

At first I took out the Sage phone, but then changed my mind. Texts and phone calls are also dangerous.

‘Serf deliberately told me that Frontier was the target. why?’

There is only one reason I can think of.

Serfs want to be known. This is to inform Constel and the surrounding area that Frontier has become the target of ‘Indus’.

Frontier’s reputation has improved a bit recently, but that’s just a meaningless comparison.

Consel’s worst reputation cannot be escaped by adding a few plus points.

Fake Mystiltain Dungeon Golem.

All of the incidents that Frontier is involved in are things that do not affect or are not well known to the general public.

In fact, the actions were seen as ‘eccentric’, which further dented some of their reputation.

‘So you’re a target? ‘Is Indus targeting the ‘incompetent nobleman’ Frontier?’

But behind Frontier, there exists a huge family called Roach.

Is Indus an organization that can touch Roach? Or do you have a guarantee that even if you touch it, it will be safe?

‘…an organization that seeks to increase the power of the common people.’

Indus wants to further increase the influence of the common people. To do that, he will have to get public opinion on his side.

In that case, they wouldn’t attack Frontier all of a sudden. So, they are just a criminal group.

Unless designating a target means simply attacking, Cybel cannot freely share what he heard to other places.

If Cybel’s phone call or text message to Frondier is leaked and made known to Constel.

Indus will greatly inflate the outflow by adding various fleshes to it.

Since Indus operates under the pretext of ‘serving the common people,’ the public’s perception is very good.

Perhaps, if Frontier becomes a ‘target’, that is, if Indus starts shouting that Frontier is a problematic nobleman.

Citizens will recognize Frontier as a ‘bad guy’ who could be a target of Indus.

That’s why I came to the mansion in person.

“So where did you go?”

“I can’t tell you.”

“I am a friend of Frontier. “Is that still not possible?”

“Because Frontier said he wanted to rest without being disturbed by anyone.”

The gatekeeper’s words were polite and kind, but he didn’t seem to be able to tell me anything.

Cybel bit her finger.

…It was at this moment that she realized for the first time that she had a habit of biting her fingers when she was impatient. Because I have never been impatient in my life.

Cybel can’t rely on luck in this situation.

Her manipulation of fate is extremely personal and selfish. He only wants to make her situation better and has no interest in others.

So far, that’s okay. Just as fate doesn’t care about others, so did Cybel.

but now.

Sibel, biting her fingers and shaking her head with a creepy look, is different from her past self.

‘…think.’

It hasn’t been long since she met Frontier. Therefore, not much information is known.

It is impossible to know where Frontier might have gone now. Is there a place where I can rest without being disturbed by anyone?

…Yes.

Cybel doesn’t know.

In that case, someone who might know—

‘…Elodie.’

I don’t know if Elodie and Frontier are friends.

But the Roach family and the Lishae family. I have heard of the rivalry between the two families. I even know that they meet regularly to confirm their friendship. Although it seemed like a show off to be seen by other families.

In that case, Frondier and Elodie, the children of that family, must have also had their own exchanges.

‘But there is no guarantee that Elodie will know where Frontier has gone now.’

The probability is probably slim.

I’ve never taken a crappy gamble like this before.

“…good.”

Cybel made up her mind and turned her back.

Head to Lisha’s mansion. For low probability gambling.

──But is he really a child loved by fate?

That choice was definitely the right one.

* * *

The car stopped.

The sun had already set and night was near.

“Im here.”

At the driver’s words, I got off without a word.

There was a long path to the left of the car. If I walk along this road, will I come across a cabin?

…Let’s hope so.

Jump and jump.

The small path that crosses the dense forest clearly shows faint traces of people.

It must have been quite some time since this road was built. It was probably a road only used by the Roach and Lishae families.

Fortunately, there was no problem with me walking alone and the road was smooth.

Just

caw!

Occasionally you hear crows in the forest, making it noisy.

After walking for a while, fortunately, I saw a cabin in the distance.

I grabbed the cabin doorknob.

The doorknob and my hand glowed blue, and the locked doorknob turned smoothly.

‘Is it a password?’

The doorknob seemed to be a code that recognized the owner.

Once inside, I let out a silent sigh.

The inside of the cabin just smelled like wood.

When I turned on the light, I could see the inside.

Wooden bookcases and tables occupied the walls, and a fireplace was built into the interior.

Is this a separate home of the Roach family?

I swept the wall for a moment.

‘…Frondier and Elodie when they were young here.’

I walked around for a moment, feeling emotional.

A place you can never reach by playing games.

There was something new about looking outside the boundaries of the game I loved.

“…hmm?”

While walking, I felt something uncomfortable in my feet.

Something caught on my foot as I was stepping on the carpet.

I lifted the carpet from the floor.

There was a door on the carpeted floor with a handle to open it.

“…cellar?”

* * *

The Indus is a very extensive group, to the extent that individuals do not know its entire size.

Serf also does not know the specific size. Even who the head of the Indus is. Serph just does his job.

“Frondier left the mansion?”

“Of course.”

Serph received a report from a crow at his residence.

A crow literally sitting by the window was talking eagerly to Serph.

This day, Frontier left the mansion. Accompanied by only one driver.

The car traveled a considerable distance until it reached a remote forest, and after Frondier got out, the car returned to the mansion.

“You wouldn’t have been caught following me, right?”

“You know my magic, right?”

said the crow.

The identity of the crow is Gregory, a member of the Indus.

His specialty is timing.

It is possible to tame an animal and see with its eyes instead. The magic power used at that time is very small and is erased by the animal’s natural magic power. No matter how great your senses are, you will never be able to notice it.

You can also designate an animal and use its mouth to convey your words as you do now.

It is the best technology when it comes to spying.

“There are a lot of crows in that forest too. “You’ll never notice.”

“hmm. Frontier is alone now.”

Serph stroked his face with his hand. A smile peeks through those fingers.

At first, I only tried to scare Cybel.

I knew that the two had become close friends after exploring the dungeon.

Cybel Forte is friendly to everyone. That would have been the same even for the human sloth Frontier.

But that friendship is only a formality.

I thought that if Serph got enough, Cybel would text or call Frondier. At least that much is enough to fulfill her duty.

“What is the communication from Cybel to Frontier?”

“doesn’t exist. “In the first place, Cybel has no record of calling anyone since yesterday.”

“hmm.”

So, does that mean that Cybel never even thought about contacting Frontier?

You completely ignored my warning?

Or maybe they realized that the information was passed on intentionally and to protect Frontier… No, they wouldn’t go to that extent.

‘As expected, it was considered a luxury to contact the ‘human sloth’ separately.’

What’s good?

Then there is a way.

Serph laughed.

Originally, I was planning to start the full-fledged plan later.

I have no choice but to take advantage of this situation where Frontier is alone.

Serph made a decision.

“The plans have changed. We need to bury Frontier.”
