The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 329

Chapter 329:

Measures were taken immediately in the imperial capital.

The festival itself was over, but the temple, which was supposed to be open until this weekend, immediately began to control the number of people, and measures were taken immediately throughout the ecliptic.

Measures were being taken to restore chaos while the military controlled all the gates of the imperial capital.

Of course, all of that happened outside the temple, so I just felt like the one-day temple festival ended a little early.

“It is quiet.”

“I know.”

Ellen and I were taking a walk through the deserted Temple once again.

Even if Miss Temple is elected, Ellen is just Ellen.

It didn’t change much from usual, and he didn’t seem to attach much importance to it. Rather, I did it if it bothered me.

The festival is over.

Since the tournament was over, he would have an audience with the emperor, but given the circumstances, such an opportunity might not arise.

The issue of embezzlement of subsidies for childcare centers will be resolved later.

In the end, she couldn’t go to the contest, but Ellen became Miss Temple, and Cliffman said that she was in the rankings.

I don’t know if the problem of self-confidence or human depression has been resolved.

Ellen was elected to Liana, but it seemed like she was being scolded for why you couldn’t.

Isn’t this not a cure for depression, but just an Iljin in charge?

There is also the work of Lydia Schmidt.

Lydia Schmidt is missing. Despite graduation, Radia Schmidt is an unrestricted tournament winner and still a Temple student.

The issue of her disappearance will soon become visible.

Elerith, who is with her, will take care of it, but Lydia Schmidt belonged to an unknown order. He was obviously going to be the main witness to this case.

For the time being, I can only hope that Elerith will keep it well hidden.

blast furnace.

“It’s vacation.”

“Yes.”

Winter break has begun.

The imperial family will be in a frenzy, but I have finished my work by killing Lebarrier Ranche.

“What are you going to do this vacation?”

Ellen looks at me and asks.

“Well, since I don’t have anywhere else to go, I should be at the temple.”

There’s a lot of work to do.

Negotiations with the Vampire Council.

Re-contact with the Black Order.

Obtain information about Cantus Magna.

Decision on Adriana’s whereabouts.

Contact and action against revolutionary forces.

It’s not my job, but I have work for the Magic Research Association.

Rather, I felt like I was putting off things I couldn’t do during the semester until after the vacation, so I can’t tell you, but I was busier now, after the vacation.

Ellen quietly walks beside me.

“I am going home.”

“… … house?”

“Yes, home.”

Naturally, Ellen’s parents are alive and well. I couldn’t go back to my hometown all year, so it seemed like I was going back home this winter vacation.

Ellen’s family situation or these parts were not set in detail. Ellen is not particularly an aristocrat, but a commoner.

The hero Lagann Artorius grew up in an ordinary family in an ordinary village and became an adventurer.

So, the younger sister, Ellen, is also a girl who grew up in an ordinary family in an ordinary village.

Ellen was also reserved for words, but she didn’t talk about her hometown at all. Of course, it’s not that I don’t want to talk about it, but I feel like I’m not talking about it because I want to have a reason to do it.

I never even asked in the first place.

If I start asking questions like that, Ellen will ask too, and then I have nothing to say, so I deliberately didn’t ask.

By the way, if I go home, I’ll be with my family for the first time in a while, so are you trying to stay back throughout the vacation?

“… … When are you coming?”

“I don’t know.”

He seemed to have no thoughts or plans other than to go back and spend time with his family.

Are you trying to come back for the new semester next year after the vacation is over?

How many months then?

Even if you say you’ll come back around March, you haven’t been to the temple for two months?

“… … why?”

I don’t know what my expression was, but Ellen looked at me and tilted her head.

“Would you like to come sooner?”

no you!

you’re like this

What’s that that pops up all of a sudden?

Are you sad that you can’t see me for a long time?

He stares at me with that expression.

you… … .

you really… … .

“… … uh.”

In the end, I felt like I was dying rather than sick, so I said that.

no.

I get worried if I don’t see you for too long.

No matter how much you go home and stay there, you don’t even know what people do.

isn’t it?

It’s not that I’m afraid I’ll miss him without him.

it won’t be… … . maybe.

Ellen seemed to think for a moment, then tilted her head.

“Then do you want to go with me?”

“… … uh?”

“my house. shall we go together?”

I forgot my words for a moment when the words came in again.

If you think you’ll miss me while I’m gone, just ask me to go with you.

something is something… … .

Now I don’t know what’s going on with him and me… … .

I said I had nothing to do, so I don’t have anything to say about going together.

It’s not like I’m going to say why I’m going there, because I’ve invaded Arnaria where there’s no Heriot.

“If you don’t like it, don’t.”

Ellen walks quietly as if that’s all right. I don’t think I’m particularly angry or anything like that… … .

You’re not angry right? When he gets angry, his mouth pops out, but it doesn’t seem like that.

however.

They are Ellen’s parents.

They must also be the parents of the hero Lagan Artorius.

I’m curious.

I just roughly set it up as a hero and a hero’s sister, so I didn’t have to explain what my parents were like.

I wonder who the parents are so that both of their children are monsters.

No, leaving that aside, I just… … .

I wonder what kind of environment Ellen would have grown up in.

However, there were so many things to do this vacation.

I can’t leave my seat

“… … sorry.”

“What are you sorry about?”

I have no reason to be sorry that I can’t go with you.

Ellen shrugged her shoulders as if she was okay.

Adriana has been in trouble the past few days.

Of course, that was very different from the hardships he had suffered when he was captured by an unknown order.

“Hey, do you need anything?”

“no… … . It’s okay, sister.”

It was because the person who seemed to be the boss of this mysterious organization after Reinhardt dropped it and left it was hovering around him at every opportunity.

“swimming. Yep. If you need anything, just tell me. I’m always here.”

top floor of the building. It was her job to sit on the sofa in what should be called her office and do nothing. Adriana had been living all day in that back room.

“But if you give me a room… … . Where is your sister sleeping? … . On the floor last time… … .”

“me? I don’t really care about that.”

In the first place, I didn’t use the room well and just stayed near the office.

Yesterday, Adriana was startled while going to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

It was because he saw the boss who gave him a room sleeping on his stomach on the bare floor of his office.

Give yourself a room and sleep on the bare floor.

I was so surprised that when I told him not to sleep in a place like this, he scratched his stomach and said, ‘I used to sleep like this’ and fell face down again.

I don’t see you as a bad person.

Being the type of person she’d never seen before, Adriana felt strange whenever Royard hovered around her.

‘What are you doing?’

‘Aren’t you bored?’

‘Do you want to go for a walk?’

‘Don’t you want something to eat?’

‘Are you comfortable?’

If you meditate in the room, he will go round and round and keep talking to you.

Adriana doesn’t think it’s annoying.

Rather, it should be said that it is like a puppy that keeps running around and asking and wondering about this and that.

Even though I knew it was rude to think that way, I couldn’t help but think that a large dog was circling around me. It was subtly cute, so Adriana always felt weird whenever she saw the boss with a messy look.

‘What are you doing… … .’

Adriana doesn’t really know what she’s doing here, and she doesn’t know why the boss is the most beggar here.

Others don’t wear expensive clothes, but they wear them properly and wash them well.

This man is always disheveled, like an unwashed dog in the rain, and his hair is in all directions.

Adriana lived in a monastery.

It is a life that focuses on self-cultivation, self-management is natural, and cleaning the surroundings is of course very strict.

Adriana, who has lived the life of a tidy monk, feels for the first time in her life that she had a strange obsession while watching Loyar.

Regardless of what kind of person Royard is.

Regardless of how terrifying a person you are.

It’s too conspicuous for someone to live like that.

“I… … . sister.”

“huh? why? what?”

As Royard approached, Adriana smirked slightly and backed away.

“that… … . How about washing up… … .”

“Wash? why?”

“That’s right… … . It’s nice to see that… … . It doesn’t even smell weird… … . Could it be… … ? Oh no! It’s not that my sister smells weird! its just… … . I thought it would be bad for my health… … .”

Royard tilts his head and sniffs his arm.

“Does it smell? Is this my body odor?”

“That can’t be a body odor… … ! Ugh.”

To say it doesn’t smell is actually a lie.

I couldn’t tell her that it smelled like a wet dog, so Adriana munched her lips.

For a while, I thought about what Adriana should say.

“Then you should wash it.”

Loyard hurriedly went somewhere, saying that that would be the way to go.

“… … .”

And when she saw a white-haired woman with water dripping from her wet hair, Adriana was staring at Loyar.

“I washed it. Can you still smell it?”

From the looks of it, it was clear that only water had been poured on it.

It was even the same scruffy clothes he had just been wearing. He said that it was okay because he washed it and said that.

Adriana felt that something important in her heart had been shattered.

Adriana seemed to understand to some extent why Reinhardt sometimes ran into him without thinking about it like a madman.

It felt like this.

-Pak!

“Huh?”

“Follow me.”

Adriana started dragging the bewildered Royal.

* * *

– Cudangtang!

– I hate the smell of this!

-What if you don’t like the smell of soap!

-evil! don’t put it on! It’s slippery!

-Stay still!

Club members of the Rotary club all tilted their heads at the sound coming from the shower.

“What?”

“You know, the girl Reinhardt brought over a while ago.”

“Why is that girl?”

“Looks like you’re washing your sister.”

“Sister?”

– Come here!

-no! I hate it! i’m going out!

– Where are you going after you take off all this! Aren’t you coming soon?!

-Kudangtang!

Club members walking down the aisle were gaping.

To think that there is a guy who tries to forcefully wash Irene’s wild dog. It seems that someone inside is grabbing someone like a mouse, but hearing it aloud makes it clear that it is not Adriana who is being caught, but the boss.

Their sister hates trouble the most in the world and is very bothered by washing and changing clothes.

This is the person who claims to have washed his face with water.

– Don’t! Stop!

-Are you not coming?

A lady who said she came from the temple is forcibly washing such a royal. Royard made a sound like catching a dog, whistling and avoiding it.

“As expected, a temple seems to be a temple.”

“Tell me that. My sister can’t move.”

Everyone said that the temple was a very strange place, saying one word at a time.

* * *

Washing a big dog that has been beaten to death is hard work. Of course, the one who gets washed is bound to get a mess.

Adriana’s hair and clothes were all wet. Of course, Adriana was carefully brushing her wet hair with a towel while Royal, the person who was washed, changed into new clothes.

“see. How nice it is to wash.”

“… … is it?”

Loyard, looking at his reflection in the mirror, had a sad expression.

After drying her scattered hair well, Adriana was brushing Royal’s hair with a comb.

Royard didn’t know anything else, but the feeling of the brush gently scratching his scalp and hair felt good, so he closed his eyes, leaving his body to Adriana’s touch.

The messy gray hair was reborn under Adriana’s touch.

Of course, it hadn’t been taken care of at all, so it didn’t have shiny, silky hair, but it wasn’t like a wild dog that hadn’t been taken care of a while ago.

“From now on, wash your hands well.”

“Yes… … . I don’t know.”

Royard tapped his head.

“Comb your hair some more.”

“… … .”

In the end, Adriana combed her hair for a while longer.

The club members were stunned when they saw Loyard, who appeared for the first time in the form of a human.

-Your sister is a human being.

-Tell me so.

“What are you talking about you bastards!”

Everyone nodded blankly, saying that my sister was right.

Tourists all over the ecliptic quickly left the ecliptic under control. There was still a sense of crisis that overflowed the ecliptic in orderly movements, but the chaotic atmosphere was gradually subsiding.

The imperial court had to make an announcement to prevent the spread of rumors indiscriminately among the general public.

As demons appeared in the southern part of the imperial capital, members of the Five Great Main Religion, including former Knights Templar Leverier Ranche, who were meeting in a nearby abandoned monastery were slaughtered.

It is a situation where it is not clear who the demons who attacked are, and the imperial family is investigating the case with all their might.

It is true that it is an emergency situation, but do not be confused by rumors related to the Demon Lord.

To summarize the contents of the imperial family’s announcement, it ended up like this.

There was absolutely no lie in it. There was no reason to mix lies.

In a situation where a large-scale civil war might break out if there was a reckless clash with the forces of the five major religions, the demons instead blew their noses.

The hostility of the Five Great Gods towards the Empire turns into hostility towards the demons.

I was sitting quietly in an underground waterway covered in darkness.

With a bonfire lit.

–

Someone appeared with the sound of footsteps in the distance.

It was Count Argon Fonteus who appeared.

Sarkegarda.

“Are you here?”

“Yes lower.”

“sit down.”

“yes.”

Sarkegar sat across from me.

It wasn’t long before Elerith appeared from the air.

“What about Ladia?”

“I am in my room. I won’t run away, so don’t worry.”

Elerith also sat quietly on the side of the campfire.

As for the last incident, I had a story to share, so I called all my men to the place that was the base of the old Rotary club.

When Loyard comes, you can start talking.

How long did you wait? With the sound of footsteps, someone appeared.

“… … ?”

“?”

“what?”

And seeing the person who showed up, all three of us couldn’t help but tilt our heads.

“… … ?”

Since we all looked puzzled, the person who came to us also tilted their heads.

“Royard… … ?”

“I don’t think so.”

Gray hair is not uncommon.

Royard was right, but it was so different from usual that all three of us couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

The usual Royal is always like a beggar, so when he gets close to him, he gets a little distant.

no.

Did Loyard look like that?

Are you surprisingly fine?

“Have you washed?”

At Ellerith’s question, Loyar nodded.

“Then why not?”

“why?”

Sarkegar and Elleris are shocked just because they washed and changed their clothes.

royal.

What kind of life have you been living?

And why did you wash it?

It’s already absurd to be surprised by someone washing.

Royard sat down.

“The child you entrusted washed me.”

“… … Adriana?”

“yes.”

It was also quite strange to hear someone proudly say that they washed it.

Could he really be a dog?
