The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 335

Chapter 335

It’s been a week since vacation started.

Harriet was almost at work stamped at the Imperial Magic Department to study dimensional magic. I didn’t visit the Magic Research Council too often because it would only get in the way if I checked it.

Elerith left the Ecliptic.

According to the Rotary Club, a meeting will be held at the Vampire Council in the next week. Ellerith would be back in time, so if she went to the Rotary Club around that date, she would be able to attend the Vampire Council.

Five vampire families.

If you can get their cooperation, it will be no different from gaining a thousand troops and horses.

I have to gain their power through threats or persuasion, but it is still unclear whether that will be possible.

It is unknown how to persuade and intimidate those who did not cooperate in the Pandemonium War.

The Black Order will also contact you again, and you must prepare to obtain information about Kantus Magna for negotiations with them.

If he couldn’t get that kind of information from the Vampire Council, he might have to do something crazy to lure out Cantus Magna using sobriety.

In addition, through the information about the warp gate itself, the sensitivity to the gate situation was catching up to some extent.

The brooch Charlotte gave is already a clue.

If you pass through the warp gate of the ecliptic with the brooch type artifact activated, you will be directed to the warp gate under the palace of spring.

The detailed process is unknown.

The important thing is that magical technology that can interfere with the warp gate system already exists.

Of course, this is an authorized artifact.

The important thing is to obtain information that there is a magical technology that can interfere with the warp gate’s route no matter how it is set.

The existence of the artifact Charlotte gave her already suggested a possibility.

therefore.

Therefore, from now on, I started to seriously dive into the problem of saving the world.

My head feels like it’s going to explode, I can’t afford to think, and depending on the result, my life is at stake, of course, and there’s a lot of possibility that my identity will be found out.

Of course, even in the midst of that, there were a lot of small things in the end.

– Kang! Kagak!

“Whoa.”

“Not bad.”

After exchanging swords with Olivia, I hung the training sword on the stand with a tingling sensation in my hands.

Without Ellen, there are no opponents to practice swordsmanship. Because of that, I was practicing swordsmanship with Olivia at the gymnasium.

I could do it with Cliffman, but in the end, he hasn’t learned to enhance magical power yet, so he’s not an opponent I can do my best with.

Of course, if you go to Saviolin Tana, she will teach you how to do swordsmanship, but she decided it was better to focus on teaching Ludwig.

So now I was practicing swordsmanship with Olivia.

Olivia, who was swishing her training sword around, puts the sword on her shoulder.

Olivia’s skills came to be known after this tournament. Until then, Olivia hadn’t said anything about teaching me swordsmanship or anything.

Of course, I asked for it, so he said yes and came to the gymnasium.

Olivia’s skills are definitely amazing.

The output and stability of magical power enhancement, and the skill of swordsmanship itself are incomparable to mine.

I did everything I could to strengthen my self-suggestion magic, but it felt like I couldn’t even keep up with my toes.

I couldn’t help but realize that being able to kill Lebarrier Ranche was a fluke according to achievement points, words, and circumstances.

“Shall we try again?”

“I see.”

Olivia looks at me with calm eyes while holding her sword.

I take out my training sword again and start strengthening my magic power.

– Kwakang! Get a card!

Olivia rushes at me in an instant and pushes my training sword roughly.

“Gap!”

-side!

“!”

As I pushed my sword away, my chest opened, and Olivia hugged me by the nape of my neck and kissed me on the cheek.

“Oh really. Why don’t you do something like this?”

“If you don’t like it, are you stronger than me?”

All good.

It was a problem because he sometimes did bizarre things.

* * *

After grumbling for a long time, I almost collapsed on the floor of the gymnasium.

It is true that his physical strength has improved incomparably compared to before, but sparring with magical power enhancement gives him a stronger sense of exhaustion.

Exhaustion in a slightly different sense from losing strength.

Fortunately, there was almost no damage to the magic circuit caused by the use of magic enhancement itself. There is also an increase in the amount of pure magical power, and in the first place, I already have two talents for mana management and response.

It’s weird if you don’t get used to it quickly.

“You’re a weakling, Reinhardt.”

“… … Seniors are weird, right?”

“Wouldn’t it be nice if it was especially weird in a royal class where only weird kids were gathered?”

“That sounds right.”

Olivia, who was squatting next to me lying sprawled on the floor of the gymnasium, nudged my cheek.

“He said he went back to his hometown?”

“yes.”

“Sheesh, you should know that you really mean too much to me.”

I was speechless when he pointed out that he was looking for me because Ellen was gone.

“I’m sorry, seeing as you can’t say anything.”

Olivia said that, but she didn’t look very angry or arguing.

There are many things I feel sorry for Olivia.

still.

They don’t know that I risked a lot to save Olivia and Adriana. without even wanting to know

Still, I don’t think I’m a nobleman. I want to forget it nicely, but that doesn’t work.

I’m a little annoyed that I can’t show condescension with this! I have no intention of talking about it, but this situation itself, where I can’t be condescending, just pisses me off!

Because of your sister, did you take a risk far beyond the level of being caught at a dress-up contest? If you feel sorry for me, that’s a bit like this!

“Reinhardt.”

“… … yes.”

“Did you do it?”

“… … yes?”

What are you talking about?

Did you notice something?

What clue? There can’t be any reason or clue for Olivia to figure out that I’m the demon king?

Olivia smiles sadly as she sees my expression as if my brain has stopped.

“The nursery school I sponsored… … . Those principals and teachers… … . They were all dragged away.”

“… … ah.”

The thief numb my feet.

I was talking about a completely different story because I was stabbed a lot, but I took the strand in a strange way.

yeah that’s what i did

I couldn’t tell the emperor, but he told Charlotte about the evacuation of Elerith and said that it worked out well. I want you to solve some problems with the orphanage.

I already knew about the orphanages that Olivia was personally sponsoring. It seems a little strange to be poor in a situation where they can’t be poor.

It had only been a few days ago, but it seemed like Charlotte had taken action right away. I think Olivia noticed that too.

Olivia looks at me with a sad expression.

“you… … . Did you?”

“yes.”

“… … .”

I didn’t want Olivia to know, but in the end, it’s a problem that I have no choice but to know.

“The Imperial City is already carrying out a support project for war orphans. So it just didn’t make sense that there were childcare centers with financial problems.”

Olivia didn’t seem pleased. can’t be happy

The children could lead a prosperous life under more thorough management, but Olivia was betrayed by the people she trusted.

Olivia collapsed on the floor of the gymnasium.

“I didn’t think they were like that. I never even had a doubt If you are a person, you can intercept such money in the middle… … . I thought there was no way.”

trust in humans.

Trust in human goodness.

Olivia had that kind of humanity. After being disappointed in religion and faith, is Olivia now disappointed in humans?

Olivia was silent for a long time before opening her mouth.

“They say the funeral will be held from today.”

“If it’s a funeral… … .”

“Yes, my adoptive father.”

Leberier Ranche.

His death is a big deal to the religious world as well as to the Empire itself.

No matter how dismissed, it is the death of a war hero. He even died in battle with the demons.

So, no matter what the inside story is and what problems are actually involved in it, on the surface, his death is a very unfortunate event for the public. So, now that the fuss has subsided, a funeral is being held to mourn the death of Leverier Ranche.

“Reinhardt, can you go somewhere with me for a minute?”

I couldn’t bear to refuse Olivia’s request.

* * *

I couldn’t feel it inside the temple, but I could tell that Lebarrier Ranche’s funeral was held at the state level. Every house on the street hung a black flag as a sign of condolence, and there were people selling flowers for wreaths on the street.

It was said that the funeral procession would head from the abandoned monastery where the bodies were collected to the headquarters of the Templars.

The funeral procession entered from the southern end of the ecliptic, and the road leading to the Knights Templar was controlled by the guards.

– Maybe this is good… … .

-It’s like demons to kill… … .

Many of the people who flocked to see the funeral procession would be believers in the Five Great Gods, and those who had nothing to do with it would also be civilians mourning the death of a war hero.

Hatred of the demons and fear of the demon lord spread among the people.

It doesn’t matter why Leberier Ranze was there on that date.

People believed that Leberier Ranche was killed after a fierce battle with the remnants of the demons, and that is true in the end.

I just don’t know the story behind him.

No one knows the true face of Leverrier Ranche, who tried to regain power by threatening his foster daughter and eventually tried to join hands with the Demon King when his life was on the verge to divide the empire.

Olivia would also be amazed by this situation.

Thanks to the attack of the demons, this situation is safe.

It would be difficult for him to accept this situation in which Leverier Ranche, who threatened him with Adriana’s life, died and became a hero.

A grand funeral procession appeared at the entrance to the southern road.

Escorting the funeral procession were paladins and priests.

Dozens of ornately decorated coffins were following the wagon they were pulling. It was supposed to be the hall for Leberier Ranche, Paladins, and members of an unknown religious order.

Leberier Ranche was decapitated by me. I don’t know how they recovered the corpses torn and broken by Loyar, bursting with magic, and burned.

I don’t know what the whole Templar’s opinion is, but I saw Ileion Boelton leading the procession on a white horse at the vanguard.

Both the Empire and Ileion Bolton would be happy with this situation.

Nevertheless, for the sorrow of ignorant citizens, he feigns sadness and leads the funeral procession with a solemn expression.

When the funeral procession appeared, people burst into tears one after another because of what was so sad.

-Aigoo!

The tears that started to spread from a few cries were quite unfamiliar.

They won’t know Leberier Ranche.

But I don’t know why I’m so sad about that death and even shed tears. I don’t know if it’s because they are believers.

But I have no right to be suspicious of their tears.

Because I am the most inhumane person in this place.

Regardless of whether or not they deserved to die, I am a madman who has been to the funerals of the people I have killed.

There were quite a few people who did not cry in the gap between the mourners who had become a sea of tears in no time.

However, those who did not cry were somehow troubled.

He was restless as if he had become a sinner because he hadn’t cried.

Tears are like involuntary muscles.

Unless you have done special practice, just because you want to cry doesn’t mean you can cry. Tears come up, because they cannot be raised.

Olivia watched with a calm gaze as the funeral procession drew closer.

“Reinhardt.”

“yes.”

“To think all of this is so disgusting. Am I too bad?”

Olivia speaks calmly as she watches the coffin with her adoptive father’s body approaching.

All of this is just a show after all.

People don’t know what they need to know. I just did it like this because I like the picture to make Leberier Ranche die and become a hero.

Olivia would hate Lebarrier Ranche, but she would also hate this situation where that death was used.

All of this disgusts Olivia.

“I think it can.”

Olivia nodded at my words.

As the funeral procession gradually approached and began to enter through the main road in the southern part of the ecliptic, the surroundings became more noisy with people’s cries.

Under the guidance of Ileion Bolton, they will head to the headquarters of the Templars. People who gathered to see the long procession would throw flowers and shed tears.

We were watching the scene.

– There… … .

-Hey, Holy Lady… … . is not it?

-If it’s a saintess… … ?

-You’re the captain’s daughter!

I’ve been watching for too long

Olivia was a known face.

So there were enough people to recognize Olivia.

In the midst of the sea of tears, someone gestured to Olivia, and in an instant, people’s eyes were focused on Olivia.

A saintess of Eredian.

He is the main character of the downfall of Lebarrier Ranche, but people are not interested in such things now.

The former commander of the Templar Knights and a war hero who died honorably while fighting the demons.

It was important that his daughter was here.

-Oh, Holy Lady!

“… … .”

Olivia’s expression hardened, and in an instant, the surrounding crowds began to gather around Olivia and me.

“Oh, Holy Lady! Maybe I like this one! Maybe it’s good!”

“You have to take revenge on the dirty and ugly demons!”

“According to my father’s will, the saintess must also take the lead in eradicating the demons!”

“Oh, Holy Lady! I cannot live in fear!”

“Saintess!”

“The saintess must save us!”

“Maybe this is good when the hero isn’t here!”

The surroundings quickly turned into a mess.

Countless people knelt in front of Olivia and cried, as if Olivia was some kind of god.

Neither the reason for Lebarrier Ranze’s fall nor Olivia’s betrayal of her faith are invisible to them.

the devil is back

But now there are no warriors.

Someone has to go against the demon king.

Someone other than me, someone other than me, great, brave, good, powerful.

Defeat the Demon King instead of me.

people wish

-We must defeat the demon king, saintess!

-There is only the saintess!

-oh my! Holy Maiden! Save us!

They don’t know what Olivia’s real skills are.

It’s just that she has very strong divine power and has a great personality enough to be called a saint, so you probably only know her roughly.

As if many people made themselves kings.

Watching them kneel down and beg to die in their place.

Looking at the countless people who proudly beg to sacrifice for us.

I watched Olivia’s eyes lose focus.

Olivia was suffering from excessive pressure.

Restore your faith.

I saw the disgusting act of trying to take the life of others at will to use myself, and I even saw the sight of such a person’s death being praised.

The teachers were intercepting the donations that had been squeezed out until now.

Beyond the issues of faith and religion.

Now I see people crying out in a place completely unrelated to faith and religion and proudly asking for death in their place.

Watching the actions of people who try to push someone to death calmly over the shield with tears as a shield.

Olivia seemed to have broken something important that was still in her heart.

“why me?”

A cold, emotionless voice came from Olivia.

“Why should I?”

Olivia is broken.
