The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 304
◈ Episode 304 Epilogue (2)
Black Cat’s daily routine is as follows.
First, wake up early in the morning and check the general business of the market.
Afterwards, he begins his day by eating breakfast while understanding his basic duties as the chairman of the board of directors of Valhalla Academy.
After eating breakfast, I go to Valhalla Academy and start my day.
In fact, the chairman of Valhalla Academy didn’t have much to do.
After all, this Valhalla Academy, purchased directly by Black Cat, was already completed.
If you need to assemble it or buy a sample, you will need to reinforce it to some extent, but the Valhalla Academy was already purchased by Black Cat in perfect condition.
In short, even if you don’t pay much attention to the Valhalla Academy that Black Cat bought, the academy will run well.
This Valhalla Academy is already full of outstanding professors and instructors.
However, at this point, Black Cat was living a fairly busy life as the chairman of Valhalla Academy.
The reason is because of the Tower of Destruction.
As soon as the Tower of Destruction came down, all the constellations also came down, and all the constellations began living inside the Tower of Destruction in Valhalla and raising contractors.
In short, the Academy’s work has disappeared.
If you look at this fact alone, some people will not understand.
The academy is running out of things to do, but Black Cat is said to be busy.
But there is a good reason for this: the Holy Sees began to select their contractors from within the Academy.
In short, it has become a higher-level institution of the Holy Sees’ Academy.
Thanks to this, other academies, including Valhalla Academy, were becoming even busier.
Meanwhile, at Valhalla Academy, Black Cat, the chairman of the board, was having a busy life as there were quite a lot of huge work documents that he had to process every day.
Of course, even though she lived a somewhat busy life, Black Cat was not particularly dissatisfied with her current life.
Rather, Black Cat felt that this busyness was to some extent a source of vitality for her daily life.
That’s why he lived his life thinking that such a busy life wasn’t that bad.
‘…In the past.’
Black Cat muttered that and sat down on the chair with a slightly tired expression.
“Huh…” As
soon as she sat down on the chair, Black Cat pulled down her mask and massaged her eyes.
The reason he was feeling tired was none other than his own constellation.
The true owner of this market.
It was because of the ‘master behind the scenes’ who was also his own constellation.
“Ugh…”
Actually, she wasn’t bad.
Even if she is bad, the reason Black Cat lives such a rich and affluent life in the first place is because of the master behind it, so I thought it was funny that she didn’t show any particular dissatisfaction even when she treated Black Cat.
To begin with, there are definitely some among the Constellations who treat contractors rudely.
However, the reason Black Cat was having a hard time was not because the ruler behind him treated him poorly.
Why is he having a hard time?
It was because of the fight between the disciples, including the ruler behind them.
“Huh…”
Of course, the fight is not one where you actually beat someone.
The fight that Kim Joo-hyuk’s disciples, including the master behind the scenes, are fighting is a fight over political power.
So, to put it simply, it was a fight to see who would be first.
‘From what I hear, Choi A-rin and Yan Lang seem to be wondering why they should decide on something like that.’
Everyone is already in that mood, and it has been over three months since Kim Joo-hyuk returned to earth.
At a time when spring had just arrived, Black Cat was caught up in the disciples’ fight and was suffering enormous damage.
And if it is really natural, should we say it is natural?
“…I’m here.”
“I’m here…?”
“Yes…”
It was the same for Adelia Bentrick, who was currently in a romantic relationship with Black Cat.
As soon as she entered Black Cat’s office, she collapsed helplessly on the sofa across from him and made a groaning sound.
Black Cat, who was looking at her, sighed and spoke.
“…I guess you had a hard time today too.”
“It’s very difficult….”
Adelia Bentrick, who did not deny Black Cat’s words and continued to procrastinate, soon began to express her dissatisfaction.
“It’s really too much. How on earth do I know that….”
“What did you ask…?”
“You keep asking questions about how you can kill Kim Joo-hyuk in one fell swoop. I also recommended this and that, but all I heard was that you don’t know anything…”
Adelia Bentrick had a difficult expression on her face.
“…It looks like someone prepared an event that would make him go crazy.”
“Yes, I guess there was. From what I heard, it seemed like such a story came from Tugui’s side.”
“From Tugui’s side?”
In response to Black Cat’s answer, Adelia Bentrick manipulated her smartphone with a helpless expression and showed a photo.
“This…?”
In the photo, Tugui, who Black Cat is also familiar with, was wearing a cosplay of the nine-tailed fox character from a famous game.
“…I guess their contractors recommended it. But…”
“How did he react?”
“I guess there was. When I see the Constellation dissing me…”
Adelia Bentrick speaks weakly.
It’s not like she hasn’t given advice of various kinds.
In fact, it was she who gave me the most advice in the second month.
However, the problem was that Burigamen was too shy to carry out Adelia Bentrick’s advice.
…Honestly, more than she thought.
“Why on earth are you giving me advice when you’re so embarrassed…”
Adelia Bentrick muttered with an extremely gloomy expression, probably remembering what Beak Mask had said.
Black Cat, who was looking at her, nodded in agreement.
In fact, the treatment he was receiving from the ruler behind him was not much different.
Therefore, Black Cat, who was looking really tired, muttered in a flowing tone.
“Ah, I guess there wouldn’t be any problem if he just decided clearly and neatly…”
In fact, the starting point of this fight was Kim Joo-hyuk, who was silent and did not say anything.
If Kim Joo-hyuk had stepped forward to stop traffic, would this have happened?
‘It probably didn’t come out.’
Black Cat knows. His disciples listen to everything Kim Joo-hyuk says.
If you think about it a little scary, the disciples’ affection for Kim Joo-hyuk is close to fanaticism, to the point where you might think that if Kim Joo-hyuk were to tell them to commit suicide, they would actually commit suicide while laughing.
So, if Kim Joo-hyuk stopped the traffic…
“That’s it!”
While Black Cat was thinking deeply, he heard a voice and turned his gaze to look at Adelia Ventrick.
She opened her mouth with sparkling eyes, as if she had found the right answer.
“We’d rather ask for it!”
“ask…?”
“yes! “I’m going to explain this situation to Joo-hyuk and ask for his help!”
“I wonder if that will work out…”
Black Cat unconsciously expressed skepticism at Adelia Bentrick’s words.
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like even if I told Kim Joo-hyuk that, he wouldn’t move.
The most important thing is, what if you say that and Kim Joo-hyuk does not choose Buriga Mask or the ruler behind it?
‘…That could lead to a real hell unfolding.’
Of course, if you look a little further ahead, you will end up thinking that it is similar whether you suffer now and experience hell later, or you burst out now and experience hell now.
‘If you talk like that and experience hell… I think it will really be hell.’
Black Cat thought so and remained skeptical, but these days, she was suffering from the longing of the beak mask, and she looked at Black Cat as if she had no other chance than this.
“Let’s give it a try!”
“…really?”
“Really!”
“Then, if you choose someone else…”
“So, you have to tell it as secretly as possible!”
“backstage?”
“yes. As far as I know, Joo-hyuk is not meeting anyone at this time today.”
“…Oh, if you think about it.”
Apparently, Kim Joo-hyuk had been saying he wanted to spend some alone time for two months and had not been seeing anyone for a few hours on certain days.
‘As expected, they are disciples, but are they suffering…’
Black Cat opened her mouth, thinking so.
“So, if we’re going to talk soon, let’s go during his break and explain the situation… something like this?”
“Right…!”
Black Cat began to seriously think about Adelia Bentrick’s words, and soon after some time had passed.
‘Sure… In fact, even if I do that now, I don’t think anything unexpected will happen, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try.’
In the end, Black Cat came to that conclusion and spoke.
“…Then let’s give it a try.”
“yes…!”
“But let’s check first. “If I wake you up while you’re sleeping, things won’t go well.”
As soon as she heard Adelia Ventrick’s answer, Black Cat immediately started using her abilities.
His ability to utilize space.
Of course, it would be crazy to just create this ability in Kim Joo-hyuk’s room.
Because there is a 100% high chance of being caught.
‘But the place where he is resting now is inside the market.’
In this market, even Black Cat could use some space to check inside Kim Joo-hyuk’s room, so he decided to risk a little rudeness and look inside Kim Joo-hyuk’s room.
It’s better than messing with her and seeing her in a bad situation while she’s resting comfortably.
In this way, the ruler behind the scenes soon dug a hole as small as the palm of his hand, but so small that the other party could not feel it at all, and explored the inside.
“…uh?”
“ah…?”
Black Cat and Adelia Bentrick soon froze at the sight of what they saw inside the palm-sized hole.
That was because what they were seeing through the palm-sized hole they were looking at now was a completely different picture.
“Woman?”
“And… not the disciples, but another woman…?”
What they saw through the hole was that in the room where Kim Joo-hyuk was, there was a woman with black hair who anyone could call beautiful, together with Kim Joo-hyuk.
And that too in a slightly provocative manner.
Therefore, Adelia Bentrick was staring blankly at that scene without realizing it.
“…This seems really dangerous…”
He said it as if he instinctively sensed danger.
“I didn’t expect this at all…”
Black Cat, who was looking at the scene, muttered and tried to carefully close the door.
“?”
Strangely, Black Cat felt strange that her space was not closed.
Soon he realized.
“Ah…”
That there is a hidden ruler behind him.
And that she is not allowing herself to close the space she has created and at the same time has very scary eyes.
“….”
That’s why Black Cat was looking at that scene.
‘…help me.’
I couldn’t help but think that way without realizing it.
