The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 410

A problem occurred

with color (3) .

I haven’t seen Carla since our first meeting.

In all the places she was said to frequent, Carla did not show up.

‘Looking at the timing and situation, I think the problem is probably because of me.’

There is no other explanation for this strange change.

For me, I think it was an okay ending, but it wasn’t for Carla.

Did you hate my face so much that you didn’t want to look at it?

‘It’s too bad it doesn’t go well.’

I’m ashamed of myself for even thinking like that for a moment.

Now I know that other people are overly worried.

“I don’t understand.”

“That’s why I said I was excited.”

I answered back to Elodie, who had a look of disbelief on her face.

Elodie and Selena were standing in front of me, looking awkward.

Lili, Arald, and Pielot are away to talk with the Aias family.

“What on earth did you do?”

Elodie also asked as if she didn’t understand.

“I didn’t do anything. “Rather, I’m thinking that the problem might be that I’m not doing too much.”

I had decided from the beginning not to get any deeper involved.

And I never wavered in that decision until I met Carla and we parted ways.

Selena tilted her head.

“Then it’s even more strange. “Even though he has lost interest in Frontier, he has hidden himself to the point of not being seen anywhere.”

It’s strange that he doesn’t show up at all just because he’s no longer interested in me. All you have to do is just ignore me.

The more this happens, the more the hypothesis that he may have grown to hate even looking at my face is gaining strength.

Selena calmed her expression and said.

“If Carla had an ongoing business and friendly relationship, it would be too strange for her to cut off the entire relationship just because one person was uncomfortable with it. “It is reasonable to think that another unexpected situation may have occurred, such as if a traumatized bug had appeared.”

“Maybe I resemble that bug?”

“…It’s rather unrealistic. Mr. Frontier.”

Well, so does he. I think I also experienced difficulties and suffered mental damage from something that seemed like it would go smoothly.

“It’s another unexpected situation.”

Elodie responded to my words.

“Kala is the type of person who uses her beauty to make a deal. If we make a mutually beneficial deal, there is no need to take advantage of her beauty. So, to put it the other way around, Carla has to use her beauty in the bargain.”

“…In other words, looking at the transaction itself, it is highly likely that it was an unfair transaction that only benefited Kala?”

“It is possible that the man with whom he was trading did not think such a thing was a big deal when he was in love with Carla, but later, when he came to his senses, he became resentful of the deal he had made. Those men, or their associates, may have posed some kind of threat to Carla.”

It’s one of many possibilities, but it seems plausible.

Moreover, I have not yet confirmed how Carla has the means to defend herself.

If I couldn’t confirm it, there’s a high possibility that other people couldn’t confirm it either.

Just because you couldn’t check doesn’t mean you have no defenses, but if your eyes turn away in anger, you might think that way.

“After all, I need to know where Carla is now.”

Damn, the more times like this, the more it hurts to not have Gregory. He would have been able to find it quickly. To begin with, while Gregory was by my side, no one ever went ‘missing’.

“If Kala is not in an urgent situation right now, there will come a time when we will have to face each other even if we don’t want to.”

“…yes. “Because he is the president of Atlas.”

Even though Kala doesn’t appear in Atlas much, that doesn’t mean all schedules are cancelled. That doesn’t work either.

If there is a public event or event held in Atlas, Kala is bound to appear. Unless something really happened to her.

“And although he won’t show himself, he will be in contact with people on the Atlas side. “If there is no major commotion in the Atlas, the president will not be in any immediate danger.”

“but. “He might just be a noble and everything would be bothersome, so he might just stay at home and rest.”

“…It feels strange when you say that.”

I looked at Elodie talking with narrowed eyes, and thought for a moment.

It’s Atlas’ public event.

In other words, if an event similar to what happened in Constel occurs, Color will appear?

“…You don’t necessarily have to wait for someone to do it.”

Before Lili, Arald, and Pielot head to the Achaia Mansion.

Frontier spoke to those who were about to leave.

“Basically, please go out in a low posture. Anyway, it’s true that Pielot made a mistake. “For us, we want it to end as smoothly as possible.”

The Achaean family was trying to make a big deal out of Ajax’s fainting after being hit by Pielot.

It would have been enough to just meet each other in the teacher’s office and talk, but they even called the Libanche family.

Abuse of power that goes too far. That actually made Frontier feel more uncomfortable than angry.

“Speaking of basic, are there other cases?”

When Arald asked, Frondier nodded.

“Lady Achaia, I was trying to do something to Pielot using mana. “It’s so faint that it’s hard to notice, but I know it’s trying to do something, so you guys will be able to notice it.”

At the time, there wasn’t much shouting and waving of arms, so it wasn’t easy to capture even the slightest bit of mana.

But if you know, it’s a different story. You can recognize it even if you are not a frontier.

“If you try to do something like that again, or even if you don’t, if you make demands that go too far.”

Frondier spoke and looked at Leah Lis.

“Do it completely.”

“…really?”

“huh. Whether it’s charm or intimidation, whatever you like, do it. Instead, completely destroy it. “If you use charm, I want you to be completely unable to come to your senses, and if you use threats, I want you to instill fear in them so that they will never think of attacking you again.”

Then, in the process, you will be able to find out what Lady Achaia was thinking. Frondier said that and nodded.

Arald said to him:

“What exactly does an excessive demand mean?”

“I will leave the judgment entirely up to you. don’t worry. “No matter what you choose, I won’t blame you for saying, ‘That wasn’t an action that crossed the line.’”

In other words, I will allow you to commit it even if you are just a little upset.

Following Frondier’s wishes, the three headed to the Achaia family.

And when I rang the doorbell at the door I arrived at,

“Oh, welcome.”

Mrs. Achaia greeted them with a wide smile, as if she was a completely different person than the one they met in the teacher’s office.

“…Oh, hello?”

“yes yes. Don’t stand, come in. “You had a hard time coming this far.”

The three of them followed the wife’s guidance and went inside.

Lili’s senses did not sense any suspicious mana, and Arald’s eyes did not show any traps.

Madame Achaia took them to the parlor, and the attendant immediately brought out tea, as if he had been preparing in advance.

“There were a lot of examples at Atlas.”

“…no. “My child made a mistake.”

Lily looked at the woman blankly and quickly answered. Despite my embarrassment, I came up with a natural answer.

Arald drank tea and looked at Lili as if it were natural.

He couldn’t tell whether Lady Achaia was acting or not. That’s why I asked Lili with my eyes, but Lili didn’t know either.

“It was a mistake. “Is it a mistake to show great skills in sparring?”

The wife spoke in a sweet voice, as if she had truly become a different person.

And then I saw Pielot.

“I was really sorry back then. “Yelling at a child for something like that is not something an adult should do.”

“no. “I think I went too far.”

Pielot is equally embarrassed by this situation.

As Frondier said, I raised my suspicions to the max that Lady Achaia might be using some kind of mana to approach him, but I couldn’t even feel any such sign.

“Hey, ma’am. “I’m sorry to tell you this, but did something happen?”

“No, it’s not like that.”

The wife shakes her head at Arald’s words. she said

“It was inside the Atlas. So I had no choice but to imitate it.”

“What does that mean?”

“As expected, you don’t know. Actually, this is a story that only a small portion of nobles know.”

That’s how Arald and Riri see each other.

From what I heard from Frontier, there is definitely something suspicious about Atlas. The same goes for wiretapping devices.

But does this mean that some nobles have already noticed something similar to that?

“Director of Atlas, do you know about Kala?”

“…I’ve only heard the name.”

Arald answered honestly. Thanks to being honest, it was also the most problem-free answer.

“It is said that Carla seeks out single men. “To use her beauty to get a good deal.”

“…okay.”

This is something I’ve heard, but I don’t necessarily agree with it.

“She is gathering knowledge about the devil.”

“…yes?”

“This is not a rumor or gossip. “It’s true.”

“How can you be sure?”

“Because my family made a deal with Kala.”

Lili blinks at those words.

Then Lili remembered and spoke.

“B, but the president said he was looking for single men. “Of course the head of the Achaia family is married.”

“There are other unmarried men, right?”

“yes?”

“Our son, Aias.”

Lili, Arald, and Pielot all opened their mouths at the same time without even knowing who went first.

“Well, then what does being an unmarried man mean…?”

“Kala is not particularly sensitive to age. All you have to do is be an unmarried man. “It doesn’t matter whether he is a young person or a minor.”

“So, your son met Carla?”

Lili unconsciously imagined a very disturbing scene.

Lady Achaia sighed.

“yes that’s right. He said nothing happened. There is no sign of being embarrassed about anything. But it was clear that he was infatuated with Carla. “He came to me and said, ‘The president is a very good person.’”

Usually, when a minor enters into an unintentional physical relationship, it is difficult to react in that way. Even if you’re a man, it’s common to want to hide it.

‘Does it mean that even if you don’t have that kind of relationship, you can still be emotionally possessed?’

Honestly, Lili thought it was quite possible. Because she’s done something similar.

…I’ve never done it to a minor.

“Kala wants to gain knowledge of the devil, but Aias thinks she is a good person.”

“It would seem to him that Carla is looking for a plan against the devil.”

“Did Ajax have any knowledge of the devil?”

“Yes. To some extent. “On the Agoris continent, it is important to prepare for the 72 demons.”

There Lily blinked for a moment.

A sense of discomfort can be felt in this conversation and in Carla’s actions.

“…Is Ajax’s knowledge that special? “To the point where I had to get it while Carla was under suspicion.”

“As expected, you are wise. “We doubt that too.”

“What do you mean?”

“Kala does not know the knowledge about demons that many people on the Agoris continent may know. “They can’t distinguish between knowledge gained from literature and folk tales or top-secret information passed down through people’s mouths.”

Lili and Arald know such cases.

It’s exactly the same case as them.

“Kala is different from us.”

Lady Achaia said.

“Either he is not from this continent, or he himself is the devil.”
