The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 358

Chapter 358

Ellen was proudly claiming that she had received the holy relics of the sun god, just as she had received lunch from her mother.

I was rather frustrated because the situation was so absurd.

“Didn’t Alixion exist?”

When I asked if there was a holy relic of Ritter, the god of courage, Ellen put her index finger to her lips and tilted her head.

what.

That’s why, anyway, it’s the right time to think it’s because it’s cute, but not today.

“I don’t know. I wonder if it was there or not.”

What the hell is he talking about to me right now?

“You say your house is in a rural area?”

“huh.”

Why are there holy relics in a rural village somewhere in Kernstadt?

“Why are there holy relics in a remote village somewhere in Kernstadt?”

Come to think of it, I couldn’t say anything, so I just spit it out.

“I don’t know. My mom and dad just gave me this and didn’t explain anything.”

The hero and the hero’s sister.

I thought there might be some setting there, but it seemed clear that there was a serious background.

Come to think of it.

In the past, you said that your family was originally strong.

Was it something like a double line?

As I was dumbfounded and unable to speak, Ellen’s mouth began to come out.

“I am more curious. It’s not that I can’t say it, it’s that I really don’t know.”

It’s not that they don’t talk like you do, but that they can’t, Ellen let out a hint of sadness.

make people feel sorry

“Oh no… … . It’s not that angry… … . That’s because I just don’t understand. Would you believe me?”

A small rural town (with two warriors).

but.

Even in the original work, it was a setting where the probabilities were not eaten, so now that it has materialized, can it be enough even if it is a more absurd situation?

Rather, is there something like this to add more probability?

Anyway, the cloak of the sun god.

On the collar of the cloak of flame that Ellen was wearing, as with any holy relic, there were characters that only I could recognize.

[Burn with hatred.]

Hatred.

It was an eerie word, so I had no choice but to freeze for a moment.

I now know what the crests with relics mean.

Inscription engraved on Tiamata.

[I will purify the world with my anger.]

In my anger, I was able to draw out Tiamata’s true power.

Even though he was not a priest, he was able to use divine power.

Hate then.

Is the cloak of the sun god a thing that responds to hatred?

and another one.

I wanted to see it again with my own eyes.

“… … Show me some lament.”

“huh.”

At my request, Ellen summoned Lament in her right hand.

Moon sword Lament.

[It will be forged with tears.]

Tears are sadness.

The sun god’s cloak, Lapelt.

[Burn with hatred.]

And hatred.

“… … Why Lament?”

sorrow and hatred.

Can the two coexist?

“I was just wondering how cool it would look wearing both.”

“… … ?”

will be able to coexist.

If it were me, I would be able to bring out both emotions in Ellen at the same time.

In front of the new topic of Ellen’s hometown, my foreboding imagination was growing.

In the last Pandemonium War, Lagann Artorius left a lament for Ellen. I didn’t set that intention, so I didn’t know why Lagann Artorius intended to leave Rament to Ellen.

However, in Ellen’s hometown, there was even a sacred object called the Sun God’s Cloak.

Even if he took care of one more, he left two holy relics and fought against the demon king.

What is Ellen’s hometown like?

It is easy to guess that there, after all, corresponds to some kind of secret society.

Presuming that Ellen was too young to keep secrets, her parents forbade her to tell her the truth about the town.

Didn’t he just tell me he brought this from home? Of course, I don’t know if I’ll tell others.

I have an ominous feeling.

Cantus Magna.

There is no law telling them to only collect magic.

In some sense, you may need a holy relic, and in reality, a holy relic has powerful, if not magical, power.

Ellen’s hometown… … .

Could be Cantus Magna.

then.

What am I supposed to do?

Ellen looks at me and says quietly.

“Did you miss me?”

“… … uh?”

It was so out of the blue that I couldn’t help but be a little dumbfounded. As I am dazed, Ellen’s mouth pops out.

“I wanted to see you.”

Ellen looks at me as if I’m not answering quickly.

He wants to ask something, but instead of not asking, he looks like he wants something else.

I don’t know why you’re doing this

“I missed you… … . of course.”

At my words, Ellen Bashish laughed.

It was only for a moment, but it was the kind of smile that made all my worries disappear.

* * *

Ellen has obtained a new Hallow, Rapelt, the Hallow of the Sun God.

With this, he became the only person on the continent to have two holy relics since Lagan Artorius.

“It would be better to keep this a secret. It will only bother you more if it is known that you have it.”

“… … huh. I guess.”

Ellen seemed to be thinking about something, then reverse summoned Rapelt.

The setting is that the Empire found the birthplace of Lagan Artorius and enrolled Ellen in the temple.

If you think about whether the empire knows that Ellen’s hometown is an unusual place, the weight is tilted toward not knowing.

So, if it was known that Ellen had brought the sun god’s mantle from her hometown, there was a possibility that the imperial family would pay unnecessary attention to it.

If it’s Kantus Magna, then it’s better not to touch it, so it’s better for the Empire not to know about it, and if not, it’s better to leave it alone as it’s a place that doesn’t do anything good because it’s prowled around.

In the end, Ellen’s parents didn’t tell Ellen much.

Lagann Artorius originally did not want to go on an adventure, but to find something. As a result, Ellen explained, she had come to know too much about the world and thought she couldn’t leave it as it was.

It is clear that Ellen’s hometown does not interfere very much with the affairs of the world. So Ellen’s parents probably didn’t give any special help to their son going to fight the demon king.

Home of a mysterious secret group and Ellen.

Even though I felt an ominous feeling, I had no choice but to remember it.

* * *

Ellen is back. With the cloak of the sun god.

Charlotte started researching a way to recover her condition with the soul magic she found in the bunker of the castle.

and Harriet de Saintoine.

next day. I got Harriet to share her findings so far.

“An imaginary dimension?”

“huh.”

Hearing Harriet’s explanation, I couldn’t help but tilt my head.

“It’s a theory about a dimension that doesn’t actually exist. It’s like an imaginary map set up to maintain the warp gate system.”

“… … Don’t you understand?”

“Whoa, this sucks.”

“… … suddenly?”

I couldn’t help but be taken aback by the sudden attack, and Harriet grinned as if she was satisfied with giving me a surprise attack.

no.

Still, you suddenly come in at this timing?

“No, but isn’t this cheating? When it comes to magic, I can’t be bothered, can I?”

Harriet shouted at my words.

“Did you say that I was really pissed off because I was pissed off then!”

“No, I didn’t mean that you’re stupid… … . hmm. yes sorry.”

I teased him for being a paktong endlessly, so I have nothing to say.

“I’ll explain it to you, so listen carefully.”

Harriet became elated and began to explain.

Knowing that they wouldn’t understand even if I used jargon, Harriet explained things in a simple, step-by-step manner that I could understand.

After listening to the explanation, it was surprisingly easy to understand.

It’s a subway map.

Subway maps are drawn up independently of the actual distances and topography between stations. Therefore, it is written for the convenience of the viewer regardless of the actual topography.

Although the imaginary dimension is different in that it is for the designer, not the user, it is not much different from the subway map in that it is a map composed of its own purpose for comfortable viewing, regardless of reality.

“Do you know what I’m talking about?”

“I understand.”

“… … .”

Harriet looked at me with sullen eyes, feeling ‘I can’t do that’.

no.

I couldn’t explain what the subway map was, so I got it right!

“Anyway, this imaginary dimension doesn’t exist, but there are so many formulas and magic formulas that have been created assuming that this dimension exists. That’s why the wizards involved in the maintenance of warp gate facilities must first understand the imaginary dimension.”

A new concept called the imaginary dimension.

“Wait, then, if you get used to the imaginary dimension and all that stuff, you’re saying that dogs and cows can interfere with the warp gate system?”

“… … as it were.”

Hearing my ominous voice, Harriet muttered quietly, as if feeling an ominous premonition.

“But don’t worry about that. Even if you understand the imaginary dimension, it’s not easy to interfere with the warp gate system. Constructing a warp gate itself isn’t that difficult, but it seems that interfering with the core operation of a warp gate is only possible for selected and selected mages throughout the empire.”

It’s not difficult to make or operate a machine, but it’s difficult to touch the machine’s system itself.

“So I heard that only the elite of the elite and carefully selected mages directly under the imperial family have the right to interfere with the warp gate itself.”

Everyone knows that warp gates are as dangerous as they are convenient, so the Empire had no choice but to stick to security.

That said, it is quite unusual that Harriet was able to access the concept of an imaginary number dimension this time.

And it was my request, not Harriet’s.

With the imperial coat of arms, I have access to the most secret parts of the empire. At the point of saving the life of the princess, there was no need for reliability verification anymore.

“But it seems that opinions are divided even among professional researchers.”

“Galanda?”

“It seems that some people think that an imaginary dimension might actually exist?”

“what?”

At those words, goose bumps ran through my body.

“So it seems that this is just an estimate because no professional research has been conducted… … .”

Harriet narrows her eyes as she recounts what she has heard.

“Where does the gate actually exist? I think it’s because of this question.”

“Where are you? Isn’t it right in front of you?”

“The gate itself is both an entrance and an exit. However, they say that neither the space corresponding to the entrance nor the space corresponding to the exit actually exists. In other words, it is somewhere in the middle, but where the hell is the middle?”

It exists in both the exit and entrance spaces at the same time.

A gate basically has two states in one space.

“So the gate we see is what dimension it actually belongs to. And when we cross the gate, we experience a little delay. you know that?”

“… … uh.”

Obviously, passing through the gate, you get the feeling that you are passing through something very briefly.

“The space researchers who passed by at that time said it was a gap between spaces, but even professional researchers don’t know where that space is.”

Warp gates are in use, but even researchers don’t fully understand the magic of warp gates themselves.

“So, assuming a virtual dimension called the imaginary dimension, I created a warp gate system, but when I look at it, people say that it actually exists. I don’t know if it was created because there were more warp gates or if it existed originally.”

Harriet looks at me with her arms crossed.

“So, in the end, this is also nonsense, and it is more speculation than research.

the way through space.

If such a thing really existed, it seemed to be Herriot’s conclusion that it was just a concept of an imaginary dimension, a space that existed as nothing. It could be a different world, but there could be no existence in another world.

“Anyway, nothing is certain, so I’ll have to find out more. In the end, I think I’ll only get to know the other world and the warp gate better. I don’t even want to be a warp gate technician.”

Harriot explained the purpose and method of the warp gate he found out. Actually, the things Harriot needs to understand will require a higher level of intelligence. And it seemed clear that he was understanding it very quickly.

“Isn’t it fun?”

“no? Who says it’s not fun?”

Harriet said as if she would be happy if she was willing to take out and eat the empire’s biggest secret like a snack, but there was no reason not to dislike it.

He doesn’t want to be a warp gate engineer, but Harriet is basically an honor student who thinks that the more magical knowledge the better.

“Anyway, I don’t think the warp gate system has much to do with the other world you’re curious about.”

no.

Rather, I felt like I was getting the strands right.

but.

With so many clues and everything with its own risk, I wasn’t sure where the real problem was.

warp gate.

imaginary dimension.

Cantus Magna.

Akasha.

Black Order.

Balie Junior.

Ellen’s hometown.

There were so many clues scattered all over the place that I felt like my head would explode. Harriet rose from her seat as if she had explained everything that needed to be explained.

“I heard that there is progress in the Magic Research Society, so I will go there. Would you like to go with me?”

“So what?”

As long as one of the power cartridges or moonshine is completed this winter vacation, there will be no such feat, so I got up along with Harriet.

* * *

I left the dormitory and went to the Magic Research Society, but there was a familiar face standing near the entrance.

“… … teacher?”

Harriet looked at Mr. Epinhauser, who came to the dormitory as if unexpected, and greeted him.

Even though it was vacation, I already knew that the teachers in charge of the Royal Class didn’t particularly play, so it wasn’t too surprising that he came.

As always, Mr. Epinhauser, who had a cold and indifferent impression, looked at me and pointed to the outside of the dormitory with a chin gesture.

“Reinhardt, follow me for a second.”

Harriet looked at me as if it was a pity, and whispered softly.

“I’ll tell you about the study group later.”

“uh… … . okay.”

It’s winter vacation and there are no classes, so what are you going to do?

Is it Charlotte’s problem, including Saviolin Tana’s? The two of them are now returning to the Spring Palace to study soul magic. If Charlotte’s power triggers a seizure, I’ll need it, but for now, the study of soul magic is the top priority.

After leaving the Royal Class Dormitory, Mr. Epinhauser walked quietly beside me.

nature of the problem child.

“I wonder what… … . Did you have an accident?”

I get scared when the homeroom teacher calls me.

Haven’t you bought one recently though? The last thing that caused trouble was with Oscar de Gradias.

Although not an accident.

Do you consider attending a dress-up contest an accident?

I think so.

“Why did you dress as a woman?”

“!”

I felt like my head was going to freeze at the barrel that suddenly came in with a hook.

no, was it really?

Did Bertus tell you?

Or do you know because you are a teacher?

By any chance, these bastards from the student council?

Mr. Epinhauser did not seem to be particularly scolding or interrogating.

It’s like I’m just curious.

“That is it. thing… … . That’s it.”

Mr. Epinhauser watched me quietly, then shook his head.

“done. If your walls are like that, then I don’t have to worry about it.”

“Oh no?! west wall? Isn’t that what it is?”

I’m going crazy!

I’m a bastard who will kill me for entering the crossdressing contest! How long are you going to bully me with this?! Since you’ve also acquired the talent for mastery of magic, be beaten a little more, right?

“If it’s not a castle wall, then what is it?”

“Oh no. I have a business situation. that… … .”

Well, in the end, there is only a lame excuse that it was because of money!

“done. That’s not what I’m really asking.”

“Yes? Then what… … .”

“Is the information about Cantus Magna ready?”

“!”

in that word.

It was as if the blood in his body had gone cold.
