Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 49 Chapter
12 Traitor (3)
Deep underground in Obsidian.
A room lit by a weak torch.
Fili Terst appeared in front of him, accompanied by two knights.
“It’s dangerous if you stay for a long time.”
“I know.”
Fili smiled and responded to the words of the man standing in front of the door.
Fili opened the door and stepped inside with the knights.
“Hello.”
Fili greeted the man in front of him as usual.
“…To whom?”
The man who answered was Renzo.
“Do you like the meal? “Is there anything uncomfortable?”
“…Who are you?”
Renzo looked at Fili with a displeased expression.
Fili briefly looked to Renzo’s right.
His right arm is no longer there.
Moment.
“…Do you want to go after it?”
Renzo’s deadly force stabbed Fili sharply.
Renzo saw her eyes move for a moment.
But Fili still just smiled with a warm smile.
“No, no. “It can’t be.”
“You crazy bitch…”
Renzo stood up.
He was not in any custody.
Two knights blocked his trudging steps.
However.
“Get out of the way. both.”
“Pi Fili!”
The two knights were taken aback by Fili’s words.
Fili said without even flinching.
“No, can you both just leave? “I want to have an honest conversation with this person here.”
“Huh, but.”
“Don’t backtrack.”
Fili’s smile deepened as he looked at the article.
“I gave the order. “Don’t you understand?”
“…!”
Only then did the two step back from Fili, slowly walked over and opened the door.
After watching Fili’s back with concern, the two came out of the room.
“Have you really lost your wits?”
“Well Mr. Renzo.”
“what?”
“Stop barking.”
At that time, Renzo’s patience seemed to have completely disappeared.
With a squeak, he grabs Fili’s neck with his hand in an instant.
“How dare this crazy bitch…!”
His eyes were bloodshot and tendons appeared on his forehead, as if he couldn’t control his anger.
But he never broke Philly’s neck.
As Renzo relaxed his hands, Fili straightened his disheveled clothes.
“You’re not stupid after all.”
Renzo gritted his teeth at Fili’s words, but could not do anything.
“If your life ends in a place like this, it will be truly ‘boring’.”
“…I don’t know what bullshit you’ve been hearing.”
“You knew from the beginning that I was the empress, right? “What happens if you kill me and who is in charge here now?”
Fili continued to provoke like that, reading Renzo’s expression.
A little confidence gained from that expression.
‘…The standard of life lies solely in ‘fun’. ‘That was true.’
Fili heard Frondier’s words from Robert, one of his knights.
The first was to be careful of the imperial palace, and the second was about Renzo.
Frontier informed us about Renzo’s temper.
A hedonist who believes that ‘fun’ takes precedence over good, evil, right, wrong, loss, and gain.
The more I think about Frontier, the more bizarre he is.
Treating the empress like nothing, knowing about the Dragon Heart, and throwing away Renzo’s right arm.
In addition, he clearly understands the tone of the character Renzo himself.
‘I’ve never seen someone this hedonistic before.’
Fili was confident that Renzo wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
If he was just a crazy guy looking for fun, he would have been executed long ago.
No matter how powerful one is, an individual cannot overcome a nation.
Moreover, Renzo has risen to the ‘strongest rank’ and is not an egomaniac who is different from them.
No matter how much of a battle fanatic he may seem, he
seems like a person who doesn’t know how to waste his life just for fun.
There is a clear reason why I have lived with my limbs intact until now.
‘Well, my limbs aren’t in good shape anymore.’
I never would have thought that I would lose my arm because of a student.
He must have believed that he wouldn’t get hurt at all.
“Well, now that we know the location relationship, shall we have a more proper conversation? “Sit there.”
Renzo’s life didn’t calm down at Fili’s words, but he walked briskly and sat back down in his original position.
Fili sat across from him.
“So what business does the empress have?”
“First of all, I want to ask you something.”
Fili asked, looking at Renzo’s empty right side.
“How did that arm fly off?”
“It really bothers me. You know, right? “A student here did this.”
“I’m not asking that, but how on earth did that student lose his right arm?”
Philly is well aware of Renzo’s strength.
Among professionals, he is compared to ‘Eden Hamelot’ and even said that if he were not a criminal, he could easily take a place in ‘Zodiac’.
‘Zodiac’ refers to the 12 human weapons designated by the state.
Here, Constell’s president ‘Osprit’ is also a member of the Zodiac.
Or, the same goes for ‘Zodiac Heldre’, who participated in the noble meeting during the Mystiltein incident.
Of course, there are powerful people other than Zodiac in the empire.
A representative example is the northern iron wall ‘Ampere de Roach’.
The reason Ampere is not a Zodiac is because the Zodiac must always receive direct orders from the Empire.
Ampere just hated it.
In any case, Renzo’s body easily surpassed that of an ordinary person.
Even if you don’t use an aura, a clumsy knife won’t even scratch that muscle.
But Frontier did it.
Renzo rested his chin, seemed to think of something unpleasant, and then muttered softly.
“I do not know.”
“…You don’t know?”
“Literally.”
Renzo just says that.
There is no afterword.
Fili laughed.
“Hmm? “Anyway, if you ask a witness, you’ll know everything, right?”
“…I don’t know.”
Renzo clicked his tongue and repeated the same words.
Fili saw Renzo’s real expression a while ago.
I read signs of genuine anger, embarrassment, and resignation.
And after reading the current answer based on that,
‘…I don’t think it’s a lie.’
You really don’t know.
What kind of attack did you suffer?
‘What happened in that fight?’
He told Renzo that he would find out if he asked the witness, but in fact, Fili had already asked the witness.
The only eyewitness was his daughter, Aten.
But Aten’s answer was similar.
-I do not know. Frondier must have done something, but Renzo’s right arm suddenly flew off. At least that’s how it seemed to me.
At the time, when I heard this, I thought I hadn’t seen Aten properly because he was far away.
But the person involved doesn’t know either.
‘Well, think about it later.’
Fili got to the point.
“So why did you kidnap my daughter?”
“….”
“The thing in front of you is the mother of the girl you tried to kidnap. “I decide whether or not your head will be blown off?”
At that smile, Renzo clicked his tongue and said,
“It’s obvious. “Because that would be fun.”
“Kidnapping the princess?”
“okay. lets think. The empire will turn upside down and there will be chaos. “Everyone will be desperate to catch me, and it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.”
Fili looked at Renzo’s face again.
‘lie.’
There is nothing to think about.
The current Renzo is here because the kidnapping failed in the end, but he would have succeeded originally.
It was normal to succeed.
After entering the field without being noticed by anyone, Aten and one student reached a place where they were alone.
There was no way it could fail.
But even if we succeed, what will we gain?
What benefit is there in turning into an enemy of the Empire?
Aten Terst is the third princess.
The name has symbolism, but from the empire’s point of view, it has no value.
There is nothing Renzo can gain by kidnapping Aten.
The Empire does not do business because of one Aten.
In order to save Aten, he desperately tries to find and kill Renzo.
Such is the life of a princess.
To save, he pulls out his knife but does not extend his hand.
Even if the princess herself dies as a result.
‘In other words, the purpose is not to kidnap the princess and then make a deal. The kidnapping itself had a purpose.’
──Beware of the imperial palace.
For some reason, Frontier’s advice never leaves my mind.
“Well, I like it. I’ll come back later. “If you feel uncomfortable sleeping or eating, please let me know.”
Fili stood up without any regrets.
There is no certain information at this time.
Renzo said to Fili, who turned his back on me.
“You think you’re smart, right?”
It sounded somewhat like the sarcasm of a loser,
like an exit line used when running away, or
like a curse uttered by a coward.
However, an unpleasant sound lingers in Fili’s ears.
“Think about it with your smart head.”
“…What?”
“I am just a small beginning.”
Renzo was smiling at that time.
It was a cheeky smile that seemed to provoke.
“The empire will be turned upside down.”
Sarcasm.
“The imperial palace will burn, people will scream, and an unprecedented earthquake will tear the empire in two.”
Exit line.
“I want to see how that cocky face of yours will change then. “A face distorted by one’s own foolishness.”
──Curse.
“…ha.”
Fili sighed.
“Take a look later if you want.” “Even a severed head has eyes.”
With that said, finally.
Fili left the room.
* * *
Discharge from the hospital was quick.
Aten made me fully recover in the first place.
I soon returned to Constel.
Aster, Cybel, and Elodie were worried about me as I had not been there for a few days, but they took care of me appropriately.
I was very concerned that Cybel and Elodie had sad expressions again.
and.
“…yes?”
Aten asked back blankly.
I said.
“So, you don’t have to follow me around anymore.”
“What is that…”
Aten says as if he doesn’t understand.
I scratched my head.
Well, it’s my fault for not saying this before.
I guess I’ve already gotten used to Aten following me around.
“The reason you were following me around was because of ‘Dragon Heart.’”
“…!”
“I told the Empress everything about Dragon Heart, so there’s no need to do that anymore.”
Aten is definitely a spy sent by Fili to get information from me.
…No, it would be too gloomy to say he was a spy.
Since I was going to send it to Constell anyway, it would be a good idea to get information about Dragon Heart from my class if possible.
It must feel something like this.
But I told Fili all about Dragon Heart the other day.
There is no need for Aten to follow me around any longer.
The stares and whispers of people around her must have been quite stressful for her.
This is what is called freedom.
“You understand now, right? From now on, you can spend your life here doing whatever you want. “I also made friends.”
“…okay. “You knew everything.”
“Well, because it was so strange.”
The imperial princess chases after the first male student she sees.
No matter how you look at it, it’s strange.
“Well then, I have to go eat.”
Although Aten appears cold, you can immediately tell that he is dignified and humble after just a few words with him.
You’ll make friends soon.
My presence will only be a hindrance.
‘It’s comfortable because I don’t have to worry about it either.’
If you do well, it is possible to restore your relationship with Aster.
It is said that the magic that Fili casted is not that strong.
This is what win-win means.
I walked towards the restaurant with a light heart.
…I walked.
“…It’s over there.”
“yes.”
The answer comes from behind without a doubt.
Aten is still behind me.
Still chasing me.
“There’s no need to chase him anymore? “Live school as you please.”
“That’s how it is.”
Aten said with that indifferent expression.
“You told me to do whatever I want, so I’m doing that.”
What does this mean?
Since when did following me around become something Aten wants to do?
I tilted my head, thought hard, and couldn’t help it, so I asked.
“…why?”
At my question, Aten blinked for a moment, looked down, looked to the side, and looked at the ceiling.
…It seems like some very deep thinking is needed.
And then the answer came out.
“…I do not know.”
“….”
What is this?
Are you still harassing me?
Does that mean my thoughts last time were right?
But Aten seemed to be thinking deeply about something and looked at me with a serious expression.
“Mr. Frontier.”
“huh?”
“It’s not strange to me.”
“Uh what?”
“Mr. Frontier said it was too strange, but I don’t find it strange.”
Oh, is that what I said a little while ago?
“Oh, that doesn’t mean you’re weird.”
“Yes. “I know.”
“Oh yeah?”
Then why?
Aten muttered as if he couldn’t explain something and then spoke to me with that worried expression.
“It’s not strange to me.”
“Okay, so-”
“No.”
Aten interrupted me.
It was probably the first time it had happened.
That’s how Aten’s words began.
“I am following Mr. Frontier.”
As if a dam had burst.
“I want to do that myself,”
as if I can’t control it.
“Everything I don’t know why yet.”
As if Aten’s true feelings were all thrown out in words.
“Nothing is strange.”
It poured towards me.
“….”
I couldn’t answer for a moment.
After saying that, Aten pressed his lips.
He seemed worried about whether his words were conveyed properly.
“…Okay, do whatever you want.”
I answered.
In the end, I don’t know why I was chasing him.
Even the person who said it said he didn’t know the reason.
I ended up not knowing why I allowed her to follow me.
“yes.”
Her small smile bloomed in that short answer.
