“Teacher Ales.”
Aless turned around when he heard a voice coming from behind him.
Frontier was standing.
Ales waved his hand without hiding his annoyance.
“What is it, Frontier? “I said compensation would be paid later.”
“I found the rat.”
Ales’ hand stopped.
I look at Frontier again with a stern face.
Frontier had the same face as before.
Just like that languid sleepy face.
Taking a step closer to Ales.
Ales asked with frowning eyes.
“What do you mean by that?”
“We have found out who Constell’s traitor is.”
That’s what I said.
Ales opened his eyes wide.
He asked in a lower voice than Frondier.
“Is that true?”
“yes. That’s not what I’m talking about here. Come this way.”
“hmm.”
As Frontier took the lead, Aless followed.
Squeak –
The door to the empty classroom opened lightly and Frondier entered.
An empty classroom in the corner of an isolated building.
“I’ll cast a soundproofing spell.”
“please.”
Frontier walked inside the classroom and stopped.
And he spoke without turning his head.
“teacher.”
“What?”
“You don’t have to do that.”
“What do you mean?”
Frondier turned his head and looked at Ales.
He was smiling softly.
“You don’t have to pull out that sword.”
As Frontier said.
Ales’ hand was on the handle of the sword attached to his waist.
I found the traitor.
That doesn’t make sense.
The traitor is Ales.
Ales is a traitor, but you are telling Ales himself that you have found the traitor.
Frondier made a mistake.
However, no matter what the circumstances, if he was convinced of the traitor, he must have had his own reasons.
If that is the reason why he is strangling Ales himself.
Furthermore, if it harms the princess.
“…Frondier. Don’t be too resentful. “You put your hand in the fire pit.”
“teacher.”
Frontier softly called out to Ales.
Defenseless posture.
A drowsy voice.
“You don’t need to be wary of me.”
“…What does that mean?”
Aless’s face became extremely tense.
Frondier smiled.
And Frondier said something unbelievable.
“Because I’m a rat too.”
As Frondier said that, he raised his right hand.
On that index finger was a ring, one of only four in the royal family.
‘The princess’s ring…!’
Ales’ eyes widened enormously.
* * *
After talking with Fili on the rooftop.
I saw her briefly.
Fili, like an empress, was wearing various luxurious accessories.
What particularly caught my eye was the ring on my index finger.
I asked.
“Mr. Fili’s ring.”
“yes?”
Fili used the honorific on me again.
That seeming honesty seems to have been very brief.
I was a little disappointed, but I asked regardless.
“By any chance, Mr. Philly and your children, are you all wearing the same ring?”
“Yes. “I gave this directly to my daughters… Ah.”
Instead of answering me, Fili convinced himself.
Through the questions and answers up to that point, I figured out my intention.
A hand placed near the mouth with sunken eyes.
“…indeed. “I know what you mean.”
“Do the rings look exactly the same?”
“It’s exactly the same. But there are no spares. “It’s a ring that was specially custom-made for me and my daughters.”
Then there are only 4 rings.
Because it has a very complex pattern, a clumsy copy is immediately noticeable.
“But I can’t take this ring off. “In a public setting, your every move is observed, so if it is discovered that you do not have a ring, your enemies will be on high alert.”
“There’s no need for that.”
I held the black lotus necklace in my hand.
Although I thought that one day I would show this skill to someone.
That’s the imperial empress.
There is nothing beyond praise.
Weaving (織造) Black River (黑川)
Grade: Unique
Fili’s Ring
[Fili’s Ring]
– The highest quality ring that Fili gifted to his daughters.
– Although it has no magical properties, its value is comparable to the artistry of the ring itself and the rarity of only 4 pieces.
I showed Fili the weaving right before his eyes.
A ring that takes shape in an instant and is placed in my hand.
It looks exactly like Fili’s ring.
“…oh my god.”
Fili looked at the scene blankly and said something.
I think it’s the most honest voice I’ve ever heard.
“What do you think, Empress?”
I held out the ring.
Fili looked around at the black cloth ring.
“…It’s the same. Everything, including texture and glossy patterns. “You won’t be able to tell it’s fake with your eyes.”
“With this, we will catch Constel’s traitor.”
Fili looked at the ring again at my words and then smiled brightly.
“It might be useful.”
* * *
Ales pointed to the ring I showed him and trembled.
“How did you get that ring…!”
“received. “I don’t think the teacher will believe me if I just say it.”
Ales will know the meaning of this ring.
“No, even if that’s the case…!”
Ales seemed confused.
That I am wearing this ring.
Ales doesn’t know the connection between me and Fili.
Even if I knew, I wouldn’t expect Fili to give me his ring.
Actually, this is a woven product, so it wasn’t something Fili gave me.
“Are you really saying that Elysia gave it to you?”
You said this yourself.
As Ales said, the mastermind behind all the crimes is Elysia.
To Aless, this ring will look like he received it from Elysia.
I would also consider the possibility that it was given to me by another daughter, Aten, Saleh, or Fili, but that theory collapses because I came to see it myself, calling myself a traitor.
I am the only one who knows that Ales is a traitor.
If anyone other than me had suspected Ales, the good-spirited Ales would have noticed right away.
Ales believes that it is impossible for anyone to know his identity.
That’s why my lie is working for Ales now.
There’s no way he would ever be caught, but the reason he was caught was because he was an ‘ally’ in the first place.
Because Frontier de Roach is her reinforcement sent by Elysia.
It’s impossible not to be caught up in this reassuring and sweet lie.
“Did you really give me that ring? “That precious ring?”
“That’s right.”
“can not believe it.”
“Then would you like to see it for yourself?”
I held out my hand.
Ales, who was planning to kill me just a moment ago, now flinches and pulls away when I even hold out my hand.
In the meantime, my eyes carefully scan the ring on my hand.
Well, it’s an item that even Philly, the owner of the ring, can’t tell apart.
There is no way Ales would notice.
“…But you are the one who interfered with Renzo’s plan! How can you be Elysia’s subordinate?”
Yeah, that’s the problem.
It makes no sense to say that I, who interfered with Renzo, am on Elysia’s side.
It’s important from here.
Ales now called me ‘the guy who interfered with Renzo’s plan.’
If you knew that I cut off Renzo’s arm, you would never express it like that.
In other words, Ales is now believing the false information I sent to Constel.
This is Aless’s weakness.
During the midterm exam, Renzo changed all the drones around him to fake ones to avoid being caught kidnapping Aten.
Because of that, no one in Constel witnessed Renzo’s crime.
Yes. No one.
Even Ales and Elysia, who were in Renzo’s group, did not see the situation at the time.
“That’s not true.”
“What?”
“Elysia has been planning to kidnap Aten ever since she confirmed that I was acting together with him. But I wanted a more reliable method. That’s why I was also dragged into Elysia’s side. “It minimizes the possibility of something going wrong.”
“But the plan failed.”
“yes. Still, it failed. Spotted by pro Eden Hamelot. Why is that?”
“Why…”
Aless’s embarrassed face is a sight to behold.
Aless rolled his eyes at my words, then opened his eyes as if he had realized something.
Ales has finally arrived.
To the fake truth I created.
“…no way. no. That can’t be possible. Elysia-sama could not do that….”
“….”
I was silent for once.
Because I know it’s more effective for bluffing.
And then he slowly opened his mouth.
“Elysia is suspicious of you.”
“That can’t be possible! It is a lie!”
“You were the only one who could possibly ruin this plan that would never fail. “You are the only one who knows all of Elysia’s plans in advance.”
“That goes for you too!”
“Everyone knew that I was acting with Aten. And above all, I tell others about Mr. Renzo’s intrusion without being discovered by Mr. Renzo. Do you think this is possible?”
It’s so ironic.
Originally, this lie was a clumsy lie made up to hide the fact that I cut off Renzo’s arm.
Now, instead of using that ‘clumsiness’ to put pressure on Ales.
“…I’m not. “Elysia will know when she hears my story in person.”
“Elysia said you need clear evidence.”
“What evidence do you mean?”
“Ales, are you really Ales?”
“…what?”
I narrowed my eyes at Ales’ question.
“Elysia suspects that you were ‘replaced’ along the way.”
“Replacement…”
“Are you really Mr. Ales?”
In the world of Etius, both magic and science remain at a high level.
Changing your face and body to imitate someone else. It’s not easy, but it’s quite possible.
In other words, Ales was ‘replaced’ by someone else without Elysia’s knowledge.
The real Ales is trapped somewhere or dead, and the current Ales is a third person whom Elysia does not know.
… is a fake scenario I created.
“gibberish! “I am Ales!”
“Then you must know about the plan.”
Of course, I know all of Elysia’s plans.
The problem is that the reason is ‘because I tried it as a game.’
For this reason, no one within Constel can be persuaded.
So, the person who persuades Constel’s teachers is not me, but Ales.
──Tell me, Ales.
Choose the path that makes you feel comfortable.
I will make you a tomb like a cradle.
Ales’ chin stood out as if he had bitten his molars.
He spits out passionately.
“Of course! “It’s an ‘raid’!”
“What attack do you mean?”
“The idea was to attract monsters to attack Constell!”
“How?”
“The plan was to spread a large-scale magic circle ‘Rafflesia’ in Constel to lure monsters to Constel!”
“The reason is that?”
“This excludes Aten Terst and Roderick Terst!”
A moment of silence after Ales’ loud shout.
Finally pulled it out.
Elysia’s ‘Raid Plan’.
As Ales herself said, Elysia uses Ales to build a magic circle that summons monsters to Constel.
When the magic circle is activated, the monster attacks Constell without hesitation.
If that happens, all the students in Constel will be in danger, and that goes for Aten as well.
And Elysia knows that if Aten falls into danger, Rodrik will come to her rescue.
The plan was to push them into the waves of monsters and kill them all at once.
Yes.
A quest alarm that previously appeared on my smartwatch.
This plan created by Elysia is the main quest ‘Raid’.
No matter how much he is cornered by me, the reason Ales can freely reveal his plans like this is because he believes in his own soundproofing magic.
That was Alex’s final mistake.
I glared at Ales for a moment.
This is the final stage of acting.
I smiled and said, as if relieved.
“Fortunately, the. “It seems like Elysia’s worries were unfounded.”
“…Of course.”
“Then I will go back. Teacher, you can proceed as planned.”
After saying that, I passed by Aless and headed out to the classroom.
The important point is that I ‘passed’ Ales.
Ales missed his last chance to kill me at this moment.
When I opened the classroom door,
“Ales.”
There were two women standing at the entrance to the classroom door.
“Can we talk?”
It was Malia and Jane.
“her…?”
Seeing the two, Aless was momentarily embarrassed, but soon regained his composure and spoke.
“What are you talking about?”
Ales made a fool of himself.
He believes in the soundproofing magic he placed in his classroom.
Malia smiled and pointed to her ear.
“Have you forgotten my abilities?”
Malia’s bloodline ability ‘Shared Senses’.
You can share one of your five senses with someone else.
If you share your hearing, Malia will also be able to hear the sounds the other person hears.
In this case, the soundproofing spell loses its meaning.
Because what I hear with my ears is what Malia hears.
Aless’s pupils were shaking without knowing what was going on, but
the look on his face when he finally found out was truly spectacular.
“You are this dog …!”
What did you hear earlier?
It’s not a dog, it’s a rat.
