The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 345

345

: The day he was caught dressing up as a woman, he gave an important order to form an anti-imperialist coalition.

I wonder what the hell am I doing.

I don’t think the temperature difference between what I have to do as Reinhardt and what I have to do as Valier is too great.

In the meantime, I also realized the high-level talent of mana control.

And I even had a sense of crisis that I didn’t know when the things I’d done so far would turn into some kind of butterfly effect and attack me.

I felt like I was walking on thin ice after going through a nonsensical situation where my participation in the crossdressing contest led to Bertus investigating me.

And when will Ellen return?

That night.

Because of the long training, my body was as heavy as a thousand pounds, but I couldn’t sleep properly because I had a lot of things to worry about.

How long has it been since I tossed and turned for several hours and barely fell asleep?

-Kook

-Line… … . Reinhardt… … .

“Ughhh!”

I was startled and woke up by the urgent hand holding my hand.

When I got up from the bed, I could see Charlotte, who was almost toppling over, clutching my arm.

“shaman… … . shallot?”

“line… … . Reinhardt… … .”

Half of Charlotte’s face was covered in black darkness, crying as she looked at me.

Rather than astonishment and amazement, my mind flashed.

I thought it was quiet.

Wasn’t it completely over yet?

“I kinda… … . how do i… … . how… … .”

“Uh uh ah. okay.”

Without knowing what to do, I recklessly hugged Charlotte, who was trembling without knowing what to do.

“are you okay. all. everything is fine… … .”

“Ughhhh… … .”

With tears streaming down her face, Charlotte was trembling in my arms.

I thought it was over, but it wasn’t.

Even though I woke up, I focused on my mind. He speaks earnestly as if he were reciting a prayer.

“It will be fine.”

Charlotte’s strength did not disappear.

“Nothing will happen.”

As long as this power doesn’t disappear, will Charlotte have to live with this kind of pain forever?

I kept brushing Charlotte’s back, whispering that it would be okay over and over again.

language.

It must have exerted its power, but Charlotte’s tremors subsided and the darkness that seemed to swallow her body gradually subsided.

Is this really a response to the power of the spirit of the language?

Both Charlotte and Saviolin Tana understand it that way.

However, I didn’t know if this was a response to the power of my dominion of demons, a response to the spirit, or something completely different.

but.

“Huh… … . black… … . ugh… … .”

It seemed clear to me that I was the only one who could make Charlotte better.

When the tremors subsided and Charlotte returned to her usual self, her appearance came into sight only then.

Barefoot in a camisole.

It was embarrassing to look at as his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

Charlotte couldn’t get out of my arms.

“… … .”

“… … .”

After all, the situation is getting better, so I can’t think about what I’m going to be like.

I carefully pulled the duvet down and placed it over Charlotte’s shoulders.

“Are you okay?”

“Ughhhh… … .”

In the dark, Charlotte nodded as she wrapped the blanket I gave her around her body like a cloak. He lifted Charlotte from the floor and carefully placed her on the bed.

My visit was closed. I checked the lock and it was locked.

how did you get in

“What happened?”

“… … I didn’t lose consciousness this time. But all of a sudden it happened.”

Originally, I would lose consciousness or take my body while I was asleep.

But this time, while I was awake, a shadow began to encroach on my body.

“I have to go to you, but when I go out into the hallway… … . I don’t know who might see it… … .”

Charlotte trembled as if she was afraid even after she had done it.

The ability he showed when he was completely engulfed in the shadows the other day.

It seemed that he had moved directly from his room to mine using the power of moving through shadows or darkness.

“like this… … . I don’t want to… … . I don’t want to be able to do this… … .”

Charlotte was eventually able to come to me undetected because of that power, but the fact that it was possible seemed terribly frightening.

I felt like I couldn’t make good decisions because of my fear.

“Stay with me… … . Stay with me, Reinhardt… … .”

“okay. I’ll be with you.”

Charlotte looks up at me in the dark, clinging to my waist.

Tears welled up in her eyes, big, frightened eyes.

I thought it was dangerous.

I thought that Charlotte, who was in an unstable state, was now safe, but when she went through this situation again, she was on the verge of collapsing again.

“together… … . keep together… … .”

When Charlotte’s lips tried to part slightly.

“are you okay.”

I pulled Charlotte’s hair toward my chest.

“It’s okay, so there’s no need to be too scared.”

“… … .”

I feel like something irreversible is about to happen. I had no choice but to do that.

“Nothing will happen. clearly.”

Charlotte stayed still for a very long time in my arms.

* * *

As soon as the panic subsided, Charlotte fell asleep.

I guarded Charlotte’s bedside, as I had at the Spring Palace last time.

How long has it been since Charlotte fell asleep?

– Bang bang!

For a while, the whole body stiffened at the sudden sound of an urgent knock on the door.

-It’s Reinhardt.

The tension was relieved at the sound of a voice coming from the other side of the door.

Saviolin Tana.

Carefully getting up and opening the door, there was Saviolin Tana with a pale, disgusted expression.

-Suddenly,

“Reinhardt, is it possible that His Highness is here… … . You are there.”

She let out a sigh of relief when she saw Charlotte lying on the bed visible through the crack in the door.

She corrected her posture, entered my room, and gently placed her hand on Charlotte’s forehead as she slept.

“You suddenly disappeared… … . I came just in case.”

Saviolin Tana was at the Temple to guard Charlotte.

He didn’t share Charlotte’s bedroom, but he would check periodically to make sure she was sleeping.

Then Charlotte suddenly disappeared, so she came to see me just in case. Charlotte was fast asleep.

“I don’t think my consciousness was eroded this time. However, the sudden release of power seems to have come to my room riding a shadow.”

“is it… … .”

It’s not that consciousness is being eroded, but it’s a situation where power is being used arbitrarily.

Saviolin Tana and I have no choice but to know that Charlotte’s condition has not completely improved.

Tana was still looking down at the sleeping Charlotte with a disturbed expression.

“Somehow you can calm Her Highness’ condition… … . It’s like luck.”

She seemed to regard my presence as a great blessing to Charlotte.

“However, to suppress the power of the Highness in such an imperfect way forever… … . It’s just a stopgap.”

It is unclear how long I can stabilize Charlotte’s condition.

Saviolin Tana seemed to think that a more fundamental solution should be found, and I think that too.

But where would that be?

Finding a sealer was a daunting task.

In the end, I had no choice but to come up with an idea on that side.

Akasha.

I hate to treat it as an all-purpose tool that can fulfill any wish, but now I have no choice but to think about it.

Is there a way to seal Charlotte’s power there?

Saviolin Tana said softly, carefully wiping the cold sweat from the sleeping Charlotte’s forehead with a handkerchief.

“Reinhardt.”

“yes.”

“… … It is clear that Your Highness’s power is related to the Demon King. You should know that.”

“… … yes.”

That’s what I know best.

“Is it a leap to think that there may be a clue that can solve the state of the Highness?”

Saviolin Tana’s melancholy tone was mixed with the sadness of her being unable to provide any help to the suffering princess.

But the Demon King.

It’s not a nostalgic place, but a place to start.

I still don’t know what’s there.

“… … I do not know. Didn’t you already bring everything you could bring from the castle?”

“yes. However, the Demon Castle is also a very important place in the history of Dark Land, which is as long as mankind. We may not have found out everything yet.”

There are things that haven’t been revealed yet in the castle of demons. That’s why they’ve taken out a lot of things, including treasures, but what’s still hidden and they’re still investigating them?

After listening to her words, I thought that the fall of the castle and figuring out all the castles would be different issues.

All I’m doing is suppressing Charlotte’s power with the transcendental power of the Word Spirit. I’m not even sure if that’s really the power of the spirit.

I agree with her that a more fundamental solution is needed.

Are there any clues to the castle?

“Are you trying to go to Demon Castle?”

“… … Even if I don’t have to go, a lot of manpower has already been put in for the search.”

You don’t have to go directly. It’s not like there are few people she can handle enough that she has to step up herself.

“Your Highness… … . Why don’t you go to the castle of demons yourself… … . He said. obviously not dangerous I have been against it for a long time because it is dangerous. Both me and His Majesty.”

She looks at me with her hand on Charlotte’s forehead.

Charlotte knew that her condition had not been made whole. So, I thought that there might be an answer in the castle of demons, so I was trying to go there.

Of course, Tana would have continued to oppose it because it might be dangerous.

But today, Charlotte’s powers had another seizure. Saviolin Tana bows her head in front of Charlotte’s sleeping face and opens her mouth in a somber voice.

“Reinhardt, can I ask you a difficult favor?”

I couldn’t hear what she was saying.

“Let’s go together.”

“… … .”

If something happened related to Charlotte’s power, I would be the only one who could cope with it, so it was obvious that it was a story about going to the Devil’s Castle together.

At my answer without even listening to what I was asking for, she held the sleeping Charlotte’s hand and shook her shoulders.

“thanks… … . Reinhardt.”

I think it is something that should be done.

Was this what the emperor said I should do for Charlotte?

* * *

The next day.

After recovering her strength, Charlotte went back to her room with the help of Saviolin Tana, washed and prepared, and met with me again.

“On the demon king… … ? you also?”

“okay.”

Charlotte must have already explained everything, and it was clear that she was apologetic.

“… … It might be dangerous.”

“How dangerous can it be if the demon king’s castle is dangerous?”

Even though I said this, I don’t feel guilty at all.

To me, the demon king is just a dog-like bastard.

We will need permission from the emperor, but we will be able to go to the Devil’s Castle.

Charlotte doesn’t know, but we once escaped the castle together and go back together.

That’s what evokes a strange feeling in me.

Charlotte looked at me with a complicated expression. Starting from yesterday when she lost her temper and cried while clinging to me, I was even told that she would go with me to the Devil’s Castle this time.

Charlotte’s expression, which was a complex mix of shame, gratitude, and guilt, was indescribable.

“thank you. really.”

You said you always only receive.

So whatever I can give, I can give.

Charlotte added with a blushing face.

* * *

We are not leaving immediately for the Demon King. Saviolin Tana went to ask permission from the emperor, so it would take some time. At least for a few days, there is no choice but to have time.

I did what I had to do too.

I left the temple and headed for the Rotary Club.

“Is it worth it?”

“Yeah, everyone is nice.”

Adriana smiled brightly at my question.

Loyard somehow felt like Adriana’s dog, and the other club members naturally took care of Adriana because Loyard liked Adriana very much.

It wasn’t without worries, but it was fortunate that the other club members also viewed Adriana favorably, thanks to Royard’s easy capture.

Adriana seemed to be helping with housework at the club headquarters, perhaps because of her diligent personality.

So, it was certainly not an illusion to feel that everyone’s condition was a little cleaner than before.

While we were there, Adriana and I walked together near the Rotary club.

How do you feel about Adriana?

I was hurt by various things and now I live in hiding.

“How is your senior?”

Still, Adriana seemed more concerned about Olivia than herself.

“what… … . My personality has changed a bit, but as a result, I think I’m overcoming it well.”

“okay… … . I’m glad.”

There was a future that I dreamed of, but I gave up on it and came back and tried to regain my original life, but even that was taken away.

Adriana would be vague and vain.

You won’t know what to do next.

Just as Olivia became disillusioned with humans beyond her disillusionment with religion.

Is Adriana walking the steps before that?

“Those who were taught to love intimidated me, and those who were taught to hate for the rest of their lives saved me.”

Everything you believed in in your life will feel completely denied. Although she lives quietly here, it is clear that such thoughts are bothering Adriana.

Indeed, if she had gone back to the Temple or to the Monastery, she would have been summoned straight away to investigate what had happened.

And just knowing that he was rescued by the demons would have been fatal.

Even now, she is protected by demons without knowing it.

By me and Loyard.

“What do I have to live for? I don’t know anymore.”

Adriana looked up at the blue winter sky and smiled sadly.

Adriana lost her way because she was forced to know the truth she didn’t want to know.

* * *

The prince of the Demon Realm and the successor of the Dark Land, but I don’t know what is in the castle.

However, I have no intention of just going blindly to find out if I don’t know.

Even if I don’t know, there will be guys who know.

After taking a short walk with Adriana, I called Loyard outside.

“Where are you going again, how long has it been since you finished your job at the Council?”

“uh.”

You’re talking about the lord’s busy construction work in a way that he keeps wandering around.

“I’m thinking of going back to the Devil Castle.”

“On the demon king… … . Are you talking?”

At the mention of the demon king, Loyar’s expression became startled.

“As you know, I lost my memory, so I don’t know what’s in the castle. So, do you know if there is a secret space in the castle? A place that humans couldn’t rob.”

At my words, Royard tilted his head.

“… … How do I know that?”

“Have you ever been in the castle of demons? He said I bullied him in the past.”

“… … .”

At my words, Loyard glares at me with a puzzled expression. Could it be something like PTSD?

“You know, there’s no way I, who was neither a noble nor royalty in Dark Land, knew that. I don’t know if there is such a thing.”

“… … That’s right.”

Maybe because I lost my memory, I originally asked Loyard about what I needed to know. Of course, Loyard couldn’t know that.

“Then you don’t know either Elerith or Sarkegar?”

“Isn’t that likely?”

It is a golden area that only the royal family would know.

You can go there as if heading to the bare ground, but there is no reason to do so.

The royalty of the Dark Land except for me in the setting where I lost my memory.

isn’t there one

“Does Airi know something?”

“Isn’t that likely?”

Look at you saying the same thing as just now.

do you not want to deal with me?

There is the inconvenience of having to go to Edina Archipelago and ask, but it was important to bring the right information. That would be better than walking in vain.

It’s been quite a while since I first met Airi, so I need to know how she’s been doing.

However, the warp gate connection does not reach Edina Island.

That’s why unless you go with a wizard who can use teleport, you have to use the sea route, so it will take a very long time.

However, with Lucinil’s help, I’ll be able to get back in no time, so I don’t have to be away for a few days.

Return to the Demon King.

And things that may still remain in the castle.

Does Airi know about them?
