The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 359
Chapter 359
When Mr. Epinhauser asked if the information on Kantus Magna was ready, I didn’t answer for a while.
Epinhauser was a member of the Black Order. He didn’t bother to answer. Thinking it was a surprise, he seemed to be waiting for me to calm down.
The Black Order saw me with Lord Vampires.
It turns out that Mr. Epinhauser had known since the death of Aaron Mede that I was no mere Temple student.
Does that mean that the person in the black robe who came into contact with me at that time was actually an Epinhauser?
I know it’s not a concern that fits the situation.
Were you the one who called me a pretty boy girl?
Apart from that thought, it was as if a knife had been inserted into the nape of his neck.
A word from Epinhauser could have put an end to everything.
You may not have known until recently that I was Valie, the successor of the Demon Realm, but it wouldn’t be difficult to deduce who I was in relation to the current situation of the Empire the moment I commanded a vampire as a subordinate.
It should be assumed that my true identity has already been discovered.
Mr. Epinhauser, who has the setting of being a patriot, left me alone.
What the hell is the Black Order doing and what do they want?
I realized the obvious truth that I didn’t know the Black Order more than I didn’t know Cantus Magna.
I’ve felt fear many times.
The fear of losing something, the fear of dying, I have felt all of those things.
but.
I was thinking that I might lose everything I was holding at any time.
When I realized that everything could have been blown away at any time by the simple decision of the Black Order, fear seized me.
I stared at Epinhauser in terror on a level different from anything I had ever felt.
“I… … . Why did you leave it alone?”
“We do not act rashly.”
I could lose everything in all the busy moments of attending classes, training, and attending festivals as usual.
The Black Order was watching me.
There’s no way I’m unaware of the fact that I’m the next demon king.
“Information about Cantus Magna. Is there?”
What are you going to do to me without it?
Are you forced to take it? Or are you threatening me by saying you’re going to end my temple life?
He approached the Black Order on an equal footing and did not use honorific titles.
But Epinhauser.
In front of this person, I feel suffocated like a mouse in front of a cat.
He’s not particularly overbearing, and he doesn’t seem to question or intimidate me.
It was just staring at me with a cold expression and calm eyes, just like when we first met those eyes.
It was driving me into endless fear.
Only one thing I know right now. The Black Order wants information about Cantus Magna.
“there is. that… … . I don’t know if you guys know.”
“is it.”
On my side, I have the information they want.
And what I wanted was information about the portal to another world.
“Unfortunately, we do not have any information or magic about the portal to another world.”
The Black Order doesn’t know about the magic I want.
But the Black Order can force me to answer. Otherwise, the whole truth will be forcibly exposed and you will be prepared to leave the Temple.
It was always possible, not because Mr. Epinhauser belonged to the Black Order, but since the Black Order found out that I was a Lord Vampire. It was only because they had a bizarre certainty that they couldn’t choose that kind of option.
“You have the information we need, but we have nothing to give you.”
If so, the deal must be broken.
“Then ask me one thing. We don’t have the information you really want, but the Order will fully cooperate with you if you provide information about Cantus Magna. It might help you find what you really want.”
“… … .”
The Black Order does not know anything about magic related to the portal to another world.
But is it that you will be on my side if I give you information about Kantus Magna?
“If you refuse… … . How is it going?”
Mr. Epinhauser looks at me still.
“Nothing will happen.”
“but.”
“We will be watching you.”
The words gave me goosebumps.
They also know my true identity.
Does that mean you’ll just watch? Without laying a hand on me or doing anything to reveal my identity or anything like that.
what is it
What does the Black Order want?
The obliteration of Cantus Magna?
or something else?
The Magical Order is a group that is indifferent to the affairs of the world and is only loyal to its own principles and goals.
But if you don’t get any information from me, you’re saying that you’re going to back down.
What does it mean that you will continue to watch over me after that?
I am the demon lord who infiltrated the Temple Royal class. The words that he will continue to watch over me regardless of the deal.
The word itself suggests to some extent that the Black Order is not a group that is indifferent to the world.
“What is the Black Order a group for?”
Mr. Epinhauser looked at me silently at my question and was silent before finally opening his mouth.
“I haven’t decided yet whether I can tell you that or not.”
Are you thinking of not telling me?
“However, we have not yet judged you as an enemy.”
Because it is a group that does not move recklessly, they did not decide whether to use their hands against me. That means worrying about yourself.
The moment I contacted the Black Order, I was already within their range. I was always prepared for a dangerous situation like this to happen. Because you can’t touch only safe things in a safe place.
However, he did not know that the truth that Mr. Epinhauser belonged to the Black Order was hidden.
If I pursue Cantus Magna with the Order, they will be on my side.
Otherwise, they will watch me and may try to define and eliminate me as an enemy at any time.
Hand of the Black Order.
Is it really right to catch this?
However, it was surprising that his identity had already been identified and that it was Mr. Epinhauser who found out about it, but he was prepared for this situation to some extent.
However, he has already made any number of allies whose identity is uncertain.
There is no reason not to accept it just because it is an ally with unknown intentions.
It’s not a situation where you can hold your hand. Time is running out and the gate crisis is approaching by the minute.
Their holding hands with me must have the purpose of monitoring me after all. If not, there is no reason to say that you will watch over me.
“great. We cooperate.”
First of all, join hands with the Black Order to track down Cantus Magna.
Later things are, after all, later things.
It’s just words, but after the important negotiations are concluded, Mr. Epinhauser looks at me with the same expression and speaks seriously.
“Okay then ask again.”
“… … yes.”
Do I have to tell you the secret about Cantus Magna?
But what if the Black Order just listens to information and tries to discredit me?
Mr. Epinhauser asks me.
“Why did you dress as a woman?”
no.
Stop bullying me!
* * *
Mr. Epinhauser and I took a leisurely stroll.
Mr. Epinhauser didn’t ask me why I needed magic to open a portal.
The settings I wrote will be true.
Mr. Epinhauser is a patriot. That’s true.
So, if there is a connection between Epinhauser being a member of the Black Order and being a patriot, is the Black Order an institution related to the Empire?
I don’t think so. Neither the emperor nor Charlotte Bertus know who I am. Then, even if the Black Order is related to the Empire, it will have nothing to do with the Imperial Family.
Somehow, I become a mouse in front of a cat only in front of this person.
It has become a strange alliance between the Black Order and the remnants of the demon world, but basically I am conscious of this person as a teacher.
however.
The Black Order has already figured out my identity, and my life is at stake, and I said we should cooperate because we need strength in the end.
I’m not asking about Cantus Magna.
Why do I keep asking why I am dressed as a woman? … .
Why are you asking me to leave the more important things aside, are you simply trying to annoy me?
The demon king who infiltrated the royal class went out and won the women’s dress contest even if he held his breath and lived?
and… … .
I guess I’m curious too… … .
What kind of crazy idea did you do that?
however.
Each other has a position and a position, right?
But I’m not asking you to give out information about Kantus Magna, I’m asking why you keep participating in the crossdressing contest… … .
Mr. Epinhauser didn’t bother to answer, and I just walked beside him with a dying expression, not knowing what to say, as if I were a sinner.
I want to die.
I want to die in a different dimension from the one I was caught by Bertus.
Still, Bertus found out that his classmate was dressed as a girl.
The Black Order could do something on a continental war scale, and he found out that the guy who did the daring thing of killing Leverrier Ranche had gone to something out of the ordinary like a dress-up contest before that happened.
“that… … . please… … . Should I tell you?”
“As much as possible.”
“No, why?”
teacher.
I think I’m going crazy.
What are your evil intentions? What are you trying to do by opening the gate? Can’t you just say something like I’ve already figured out your dirty intentions and true identity?
pestilence.
Why on earth do I have to explain why I’m dressed as a woman to a member of a strange, shady secret society like you! And why are you wondering about that!
Mr. Epinhauser looks at me and says.
“Are you ashamed?”
“… … .”
“I asked if it was embarrassing to explain why I was dressed as a woman.”
“Aren’t you ashamed?”
If you’re going to do this, just kill me! You feel like you’re being mentally murdered?!
“That’s enough.”
“… … yes?”
“I said that was enough.”
I had to explain the reason why I was dressed as a woman, but I was ashamed to say it.
what the hell do you want from me? Why is this question so important?
“how… … . Why are you doing this to me?”
“I was just wondering what you thought of the Temple life.”
“… … yes?”
no way.
Did he want to know if he abandoned his identity and dignity as a demon king and dressed up as a woman only for his personal hobbies and desires?
Are you wondering if I’m serious about Temple life or not?
no wonder.
I don’t know the details.
Is it something like the fact that I’m not very dangerous to the Black Order by dressing up as a woman?
He’s a demon king, but since he’s a pervert in disguise, he doesn’t seem too dangerous.
feeling like this?
If that’s the case, good is good.
why… … .
Do you feel like a dog?
