The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 362

Chapter 362

I still have something to say, if it’s the last, it’s the last.

No, rather than the end, in some sense it would be appropriate to call it the beginning of having all the preparations.

Temple Dormitory.

night time.

“As of yesterday, I had contact with Owen de Getmora.”

In my room in the dormitory, I listened to Sarkegar’s report.

“how is it? Aren’t you surprised?”

“It seemed to be somewhat surprised, but it seemed like it bounced from the abacus, perhaps because it was a merchant by nature.”

While promoting the republican revolution of mankind, he must have been taken aback when the demonic forces suddenly asked to join hands. But I guess I calmed down and started to calculate the situation.

“First of all, I said that I should discuss it with the top officials, but as you said, the environment for a positive answer seems to be right.”

As long as they are caught by us, it is no different from being caught on a leash. If you don’t want to hold hands, you just have to hand over information about the revolutionary forces to the empire.

“Yes, from the perspective of the Empire, the fire that fell on our feet would be the revolutionary forces, not us.”

The continuation of the forces of the Demon Realm itself is the basis for uniting mankind. However, the movement of the revolutionary forces is internal division.

Demonic forces cannot bring down an empire, but revolutionaries can.

So in reality, it is the revolutionary forces, not us, that the empire will really turn a blind eye to and exterminate.

Sarkegar looks at me cautiously.

“Of course, Owen put a condition on the meeting.”

“It’s a condition… … . what is that?”

“He said he wanted to confirm with his own eyes that the descendants of the demon king exist.”

“Hmm.”

It’s not something I expected. They will wonder how much power we have left and what we can do if we join hands.

And you want to check if the last rumored demon king really exists. If I had the same strength as my predecessor Valier, I would be very reliable.

But I don’t have that real power.

“What do you know when you see an Archdemon?”

“That’s right.”

So it won’t be much different if I show myself.

“What would you like to do? Of course, it seems that we need to coordinate opinions on where and how to hold the meeting. Also, you don’t have to face him face-to-face. There can be any number of traps and dangerous things.”

We know them, but they don’t know us.

It is not a good choice to show up and expose your power in that situation.

But they’d rather be allied than be exploited.

It has already been caught by the Black Order.

“It would be dangerous for me to go there myself. It is said that there is no face-to-face encounter until a certain level of trust is established. You don’t have to look at their faces to be able to work together.”

Desolation is when you restrain yourself.

“Okay, low.”

Sarkegar looks at me as if the report is over.

“We decided to cooperate with Order.”

“okay.”

He did not say that Epinhauser was a member of the Black Order. If so, Sarkegar will do anything to get me out of the Temple.

“The purpose of the Black Order is still unclear. But they seem to have agreed on the purpose of bringing out Kantus Magna and fighting together. As long as mutual interests coincide, even if there can’t be a relationship of trust, it should be seen as going hand in hand.”

“… … I think it’s too risky.”

Sarkegar’s judgment is correct.

And I’m actually in a more dangerous situation. Sarkegar would be furious if he found out that I had hidden Epinhauser’s affiliation with the Black Order.

“I don’t know if it’s right to hang like this on Akasha. Couldn’t that be what we wanted?”

“I guess so.”

What is Akasha

I do not know.

Just because you’ve decided to do something, you have to do it.

The die has already been cast a long time ago, and now it is only moving its words.

If I hadn’t moved my words, I would have been hiding in Ellerith’s shop in the first place, quietly killing time in the corner of the narrow two-story house, leaving all incidents and accidents alone, including the explosion of the gate.

“And you know that I stopped by the Devil Castle this time.”

“Yes lower. Was there something there?”

“Even if there is something like a shelter, supplies that can survive for a very long time are stored there.”

At my words, Sarkegar stares blankly at me.

“In the basement of the castle… … . You mean there is such a place?”

“Yeah, I guess you don’t know either.”

“Yes, this is the first time.”

“It seems like a labyrinth where the road itself doesn’t open unless it’s an Archdemon.”

“It is a mysterious labyrinth… … . The previous demon king mastered magic, so there’s nothing surprising about it… … .”

In fact, Airi only vaguely knew that there was such a secret space in the castle of demons.

The Four Heavenly Kings must have known about the bunker. However, the secrecy was very strict. Even Airi knew about the place, but didn’t even know it was a bunker.

If you know about the bunker, then the Four Heavenly Kings, the Demon King, and me.

The rest is that they didn’t know about the secret space of the castle. Of course, someone else might know, but I don’t know.

“There is a labyrinth. It seems like you can’t even get in unless you’re an Archdemon.”

“okay… … .”

“Anyway, there were a lot of magic books of the Pandemonium. I will use it as bait when I bring out Cantus Magna.”

Enough bait.

So, together with the Black Order, prepare to catch a big fish named Kantus Magna.

“Deliver the related information to Lucinil. Then Elleris will know too.”

Share the information you find out and decide what steps to take in the future.

“Yes lower.”

Sarkegar transforms into a sparrow and flies away.

I calmly pressed my temples and took a few deep breaths.

Isn’t it right to meet the revolutionary forces in person?

Is it right to stay calm in the temple in this situation where the Black Order can use its hands on me at any time?

It’s right that soul magic is the answer to solve Charlotte’s condition, right?

What if I accidentally touch the Cantus Magna and cause a bigger problem?

when everything went wrong.

Actually, if I said I was trying to save everyone.

Who the hell will trust me?

* * *

Four days have passed.

Nothing special has happened so far. Contact with the revolutionary forces was being approached cautiously, and no particular opinion arrived from Mr. Epinhauser’s side.

but.

It seems that there were quite a few guys who caught my eye walking around like death.

“Hey, come out.”

I locked myself in my room and was wrapping my hair when Liana called me out of the blue.

It shows up in an unexpected way at an unexpected time.

“What?”

“I want to play with my sister.”

No, he got a taste for beating only Cliff, and now he’s doing this to me too?

“… … Why are you?”

“That’s what the bastard says.”

He grabs me by the collar and pulls me out of the room.

“Yuk!”

“Anyway, me and this child.”

This guy lives thinking that he has no worries and just needs to have fun.

She is a girl from a rich family, but she looks like a girl from a rich family, but at the same time, she doesn’t seem like anything at all.

Liana de Granz.

“a drink?”

“Are you and I not old enough to ask for a drink as if it were natural?”

“On a topic like that, the other day I screamed loudly and died of joy?”

no wonder.

In this situation, the behavior of a guy like Liana, who lives without any worries, is comforting.

It is still afternoon.

Liana says as she drags me along.

“Anyway, take your time.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Let’s talk.”

Liana smiles at me.

“I don’t know why you’re dead, but when you’re dead, not one or two kids get tired.”

– Pakpak!

Liana taps me on the shoulder.

“I won’t die if I go around with a frown on my face.”

It’s not that it’s impossible to go around wearing an impression.

So, isn’t it okay to go around with an impression?

“Yes.”

When I laughed helplessly, Liana clicked her tongue at me.

“I don’t think the young pig that will be taken to the slaughterhouse tomorrow will have the same expression as you.”

“Are your words a bit harsh?”

“Yes, come out like this. Because this is more familiar.”

Just as I was about to lose my temper, Liana giggled and patted me on the back.

Liana de Granz… … .

It always seemed far away, but it was also close.

he’s a weird guy

* * *

He told me to give him some time.

Liana took me outside the temple.

“Where are you going?”

“Just follow me.”

He even took me on a horsepower train.

Come to think of it, there weren’t many times when I was alone with this guy.

The first time I spoke to Liana was during a group mission to an uninhabited island. Even after that, it didn’t seem like we were particularly close, but it felt like we started to treat each other casually after summer vacation.

In other words, there weren’t too many incidents or things that had accumulated, but it was a strange relationship where we somehow became close and didn’t feel any discomfort with each other.

A relationship where you can call each other friends without hesitation.

I think so.

While holding onto the handle of the horsepower train, where there are not too many people, but there is not, I stare blankly out the train window.

Landscapes that are similar to Seoul but can never be like Seoul pass by.

Although the process of taking the train itself is the same, the landscapes of the imperial city do not resemble the landscapes of Seoul in my head at all.

in a swaying train.

“What’s up?”

Liana de Granz asks quietly.

I could feel his concern for me in simple words.

what’s going on a lot I just can’t tell.

“Because nothing happened.”

“okay. Because people can do that for nothing.”

I didn’t believe it very much, but he didn’t ask too much. Liana was silent for a while, perhaps trying to find another topic, then opened her mouth.

“The juniors will come in now.”

“… … I know.”

I was not paying attention to the problem at all because I was focusing on the problem at hand.

We are now in our sophomore year and soon the new students will be entering the Royal Class.

Even in the junior unit, there are quite a few guys who played roles in the original work, and my actions wouldn’t have affected that part, so they would normally enter the royal class. It’s mainly related to Ludwig.

Of course, even there, there will be a feeling of reproducing the conflict between the seniors by being divided into 1st year AB classes.

be a junior

Thinking about that, in fact, didn’t I get a little far from the temple?

“I wish I didn’t have juniors like you.”

“… … What about me?”

“If you’re like me, do you think it would be nice to have a junior who would start by fucking a senior who came to discipline himself?”

“ah.”

Thinking about it makes me feel dizzy.

A junior like me is coming?

It’s the worst.

Liana looks at me and asks.

“If Harriet gathered the juniors and talked about this and that, what would you do if I told you that something the size of a rat made them cry, saying, ‘Where is the discipline?’”

uh.

That’s it.

uh… … .

“… … .”

“Aren’t you going to let me go? Aren’t you jumping down with a huff like that senior who came with you last time?”

I can’t say no!

I cursed Ludina, who had come to discipline the juniors, and Ludina haughtily said to wait and see, then brought Ard, a 2nd year student. And I barely escaped the danger with a groin breaking after getting hit by Ard.

But now that I am a sophomore.

Although our paktong won’t discipline our juniors.

If you say you do it, and the junior bastard is talking about double-speaking to Pktong.

If Harriet saw that and cried in surprise and told me that this had happened.

‘My junior told me… … .’

If you even talk like that.

I don’t have the confidence not to make it with that bastard’s half-baked sound.

Ard de Gritis… … .

you… … .

It was worth it… … .

It was only after a year had passed that I came to understand the feelings of the senior who had been chasing me.

If it was worse, it would have been worse, but I am confident that it will not be less… … .

What are you? Even if she looks like this, she’s a princess.

When I was hit, I was disgusted and annoyed, so I ran into it, but if the situation turns out to be that way, I have no confidence that I won’t!

Seeing my expression, Liana giggled as if she had read what I was thinking.

“But when you think about it, it’s strange. When you did such crazy things at the beginning of last year, I thought you were a really stupid asshole… … . How did it happen?”

He literally had no reason to be friendly with him, but after a lot of things, we became close. Liana wouldn’t have known at all that a guy like me would take a walk outside because his expression was dead.

Liana looks out the window and smiles lightly.

“It was fun this way or that.”

“… … .”

“I hope it will be like that this year too.”

Like Riana said, because there were many fun things last year, I hope there will be many fun things this year too.

“… … I know.”

I hope so too.

* * *

After I got on the magic train, I soon realized where Liana was trying to take me.

A densely populated area of mansions in the northern part of the ecliptic.

Even there, in front of the huge mansion’s gate, Liana stopped.

“It’s obvious, but isn’t this your house?”

“I know.”

excuse me.

What the hell does it have to do with me feeling down and you inviting me over?

Liana smiled.

“Now I’m going to have to get permission.”

“allow? What permission?”

“marriage.”

“No, no. what?”

“What. Don’t you like it?”

What is this bastard talking about?

Have you been looking at me with those eyes all this time?

“Oh that ah… … . no. I don’t understand what you are talking about? And I’m sorry… … .”

“… … You’re joking, are you serious?”

Liana tutted and kicked her tongue as if she was dumbfounded. Then, blue lightning flashed from his hair.

– Pajik!

“And you’re a little annoyed because you’re so serious?”

“No, what should I do! Stop playing pranks like this!”

“Noisy.”

Liana crossed her arms as if she had only hurt her pride by playing a prank on her, and soon after, the door of the mansion was opened by servants.

“Are you here, lady?”

“yes.”

“Everyone is waiting for you in the annex.”

waiting

who the hell

“Just follow me.”

Liana held my arm and led the way through the vast mansion.

“You should know that you are blessed, bastard.”

Liana made an incomprehensible noise as she dragged me along.
