The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 529

Chapter 529

Deep Night.

Charlotte went into the bedroom and so did I.

Harriet was asleep on her back in bed with her book open, probably falling asleep during her study.

With the book intact on the study table, I carefully laid down Harriet, who was sleeping.

Harriet laughs in her sleep, probably feeling my touch.

“Reinhardt… … . cat… … . this person… … . Joe… … .”

It’s so cute I want to bite it.

I also lie on my back in bed and get ready to fall asleep.

I told Airi to rest until today, so he doesn’t come.

king of the world.

It’s not that I haven’t thought about it, but it’s a topic that I’ve never thought about deeply.

It’s something you can’t figure out now that you think about it.

The problem now is the assassination of Heinrich von Schwarz.

It was difficult to intervene carelessly, and Charlotte said that the best way was to enlist Heinrich.

it’s a way

I have my own method that no one knows about.

The system functionality is still there, though it fell out of use at the time the world started rolling in a way that somehow tried to fuck me.

I don’t know when and in what way it will fuck me up, and it’s because it’s not reliable.

It’s been a long time since I’ve used the refresh function.

The assassination of Heinrich von Schwarz does not happen.

[Specify a date range.]

Date range.

but. If you do this as a revision, Heinrich will not suffer from assassination threats for the rest of your life, so you have to specify a date.

You can make it without an assassination for a week. But the assassination could happen the very next day.

It’s just a makeshift solution until the real cause is addressed.

How about ten days?

[2000 achievement points are required to cause this incident.]

2000 achievement points are required.

The achievement points totaled about 30,000 points, including those obtained while wandering around the Sren Mountains last time.

You can.

Heinrich’s safety could be guaranteed for ten days. And the next ten days will be possible.

However, this march does not end in a month or two. Of course, the year is over.

However, if you keep putting it off like this, you will only use up all your achievement points.

I already know that I can’t do a huge job with a revision anyway.

Events that are too big cannot be caused, and events that are too central cannot be avoided. It’s just that it’s designed to function more like an assistant in the first place.

You can’t expect too much in the first place.

if so, something else.

How about another long-forgotten system cheat.

[Counselor’s Advice – 150 points]

There aren’t many times when the scribe’s advice has been directly helpful. If you throw me into a new case, I threw it.

They usually threw help and crisis at the same time.

Seeing that I’m alive so far, I wonder if it was right that I helped in the end. I didn’t use it often.

Arriving at Elerith’s shop on the advice of the first scribe is the root of all these stories, but I haven’t written about it often since. I didn’t really need it, and there were many cases where I felt confused.

And I’m also aware that it could be a trap.

Now that you have to make the best choice in almost every situation, it might be better not to look at the advice of a scribe who has the possibility of a trap. I don’t know if it’s just my head that’s complicated.

So I didn’t even look at the advice in Ellen’s case. It was clear that retiring would be pointless, so I didn’t even try.

what about this time

What should I do now that the assassination of Heinrich von Schwarz is expected.

It would be nice if it wasn’t bullshit that only makes my head complicated.

[Sure scribe’s advice]

[Do nothing.]

“… … .”

I knew it.

It was a bullshit that only made my head complicated.

to do nothing

I don’t know if I can just leave it alone, or if Heinrich is better off dead, or if I try to contact him directly, which will only make things worse.

What if you do nothing?

Then what? You say it’s better to let me die You say it’s better to leave me alone?

If you want to talk, do it all the way!

The advice was direct, but the results were not intuitive, so I felt like my head would explode.

In this case, ambiguous advice would be more absurd.

Are you too?

[Ambiguous scribe’s advice]

[Why is Heinrich von Schwarz alive?]

What kind of nonsense is this?

Is it because it is strange that Heinrich is still alive?

300 points for my achievement… … .

It’s a bit much now, but still, achievement points… … .

“… … after.”

head hurts.

let’s go to sleep

“Okay good night… … . good night sleep… … .”

What else is our paktong dreaming about?

Are you dreaming of putting me to bed as a cat?

Eventually, I couldn’t stand it and stroked her hair a few times.

Barracks of the Kernstadt Army Headquarters.

In the dead of night, only three men remained in the headquarters barracks, with all the other commanders and soldiers bitten.

“sister. I’m not sure if this is right.”

“What do you mean?”

“Is it right to enlist that illegitimate son into our military… … .”

Alphonse von Schwarz responded to the words of German von Schwarz, the second and eldest son.

“I don’t even want to look at his face. Why do we have to command the army in the same position as that filthy bastard? These days, just seeing them condescending about being treated as a proud person makes me feel sick to my stomach.”

“Haven’t I told you not to use that word?”

At Louise’s words, German and Alphonse’s expressions hardened.

“sorry.”

“… … sorry.”

“Even if it is private, it is a problem just to refer to such words carelessly. I’ve said many times that people like us shouldn’t even say such ominous words. What would you do if someone heard it?”

bastard.

It would be a problem if anyone knew that the Schwartz royal family had spoken the word illegitimate child.

People will feel the hint that there is an illegitimate problem.

The moment you say it carelessly, the brothers pick up the word that becomes a problem too easily. Alphonse, the third of the brothers who had been silent at Louise’s words, opened his mouth.

“Anyway, that… … . I don’t know why we have to transfer the youngest guy to our army. That means his position will grow even bigger.”

“you’re right. Wouldn’t it be better to leave it on the Allied side of the Temple, far away from our army… … .”

There is a risk in changing Heinrich von Schwarz’s affiliation to the Kernstadt Army.

I don’t know if it’s a normal situation, but the illegitimate child’s position is getting stronger.

The second and third judgments were that the position of the enemy could be threatened.

But Louise von Schwartz shook her head.

“I come back as a hero, but it is the same whether I am treated as a hero here. After all, we are part of a huge system called the Allied Forces. No matter how far apart they are, as long as they belong to one system, there is no benefit to be gained from being far apart.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“You should use what is available. is not it? Just by bringing the youngest to our side, the General Headquarters will be able to put Heinrich into operations only with the consent of the Schwarz family. Don’t you know what this means?”

The youngest child who has become too influential to be pushed away by the word illegitimate child.

“It doesn’t matter what your origin or background is, as long as it’s useful. Think after the war.”

“After that… … .”

Louise von Schwarz’s cold gaze shines.

“Do you think an empire can still be an empire?”

“!”

“Who is your sister?”

The expressions on the brothers’ faces hardened at the word, which was like a taboo word.

“The Empire will exist.”

A smile crept across Louise von Schwarz’s lips.

“But there is no law that the owner of the empire must always be the Gradias family.”

“However, in this situation, for Heinrich von Schwarz to earn a major as a student at the Temple would only prove the Empire’s ability.”

“It means being treated as a talented person raised by the empire.”

“Heinrich has to make his mark. In this Kernstadt district, I have to major in the name of the Schwarz family.”

“Why should I hand over a major that can be secured to the Empire?”

“How long will you live contented with the mere façade of being the first empire?”

“Where is the law that the Schwartz family cannot become the Schwarz family?”

“Now that the empire is weaker than ever, the empire will think of the future after everything is over, so why shouldn’t we?”

“The Schwarz royal family can be changed into the imperial family, but such a background… … . okay. bastard.”

The word not to be taken out comes from the mouth of Louise von Schwarz.

“If an illegitimate child could help, it would be great. No, is it time to pick up the illegitimate child of the illegitimate child and pick up the individual’s likes and dislikes?”

At Louise’s words, the expressions on Alphonse and German’s faces became strange.

In this situation, Louise von Schwartz is trying to destroy the Gradias Empire after the war.

Kernstadt takes the place.

Taking over Heinrich von Schwarz’s recruits is just the beginning.

“But sister… … . The military and the people’s support for the youngest… … .”

“After the war… … . It may be difficult for us to touch.”

In front of the eyes of the two brothers, Louise von Schwarz reads the fear of an undetermined future.

The two brothers fear Heinrich as much as they hate him.

“I said I would use it. Did you say you’ll be with me until the end?”

eldest daughter

Louise von Schwartz shook her head as if not to worry.

“An epic about a hero is always made after the hero has laid down on the cold ground.”

Alphonse and German held their breath at the eldest daughter’s cold expression, as if everything was within calculation.

* * *

Saviolin Tana, who is in charge of the advance party, was quietly watching the surroundings while on horseback.

“This wouldn’t have been an area of operations.”

Saviolin Tana and her men remained silent as they surveyed the surroundings, occupying high ground.

Waiting for the next advance, the role of the Saviolin Tana unit is to check the monsters, plants, and densely populated areas in front, then strike and annihilate them if they can.

Ellen also had a similar role, but Ellen was now dispatched to another operational area.

So, the place where Saviolin Tana is now is an uncharted area that has never been set as an operational area for the Allies, and no troops have ever been dispatched.

“… … .”

But what Saviolin Tana saw in silence were the corpses of monsters scattered across the field, as if someone had already swept them away.

The monsters here shouldn’t have been subjugated, but the bodies of the monsters were scattered around as if a wave had swept them away.

Although some monsters were seen coming and going, it is assumed that they were introduced from other places.

“Someone besides us… … . It has already been swept away once, is this… … .”

Saviolin Tana and other members of the unit also had a hunch that something very strange had happened.

“Return to the garrison. I guess I need to check more.”

Although she hadn’t confirmed it with her own eyes, Saviolin Tana had no choice but to guess where the unknown reinforcements belonged.

At the same time, the advance party led by Ellen was also facing the same scene.

reconnaissance and search. And annihilate when possible.

The original guideline was to retreat and bring a larger force if the enemy was outnumbered, but since being able to draw on Rappelt’s power, Ellen has annihilated most of the enemies she encounters.

Even the unit members had little to do with their strength.

Sweeps away once with flames, and slashes enemies that do not die with flames with the Void Sword.

There has never been an enemy that hasn’t been killed by the Voidblade.

However, Ellen, who had overcome the limit of only being able to engage in close combat, was able to do something similar to the one-man corps.

“… … .”

Ellen and her troops were looking at the remnants of a group of monsters that had already been annihilated, just like Saviolin Tana’s group had seen

.

Judging from the different ways of death, it seemed to be the work of several people, not just one.

Although it cannot be specified, an unidentified unit that can use various types of powers has already organized the monsters.

“It seems that all the monsters in this area have been swept away. It’s not nonexistent, but since the number is extremely small, it’s assumed that the monsters were introduced from other places after that.”

“… … is that so.”

After confirming that there were no monsters in the current area, the members of the unit who had gone out to reconnaissance in all directions returned and told the same story.

The monsters in the vicinity of the place scheduled for the advance route were wiped out.

There are monsters, but they are presumed to be monsters that appeared in other areas after being wiped out.

There are unknown collaborators.

Ellen looks at the scene still, holding the necklace with her left hand.

‘line… … . Reinhardt… … .’

Ellen seemed to know who was doing this.

Ellen catches on to her fading spirit.

The mere mention of that name fills my head with anger and hatred.

It’s not a cursed name.

Every time Ellen thought about the Demon King and Reinhardt, it seemed as if negative emotions were consuming every cell in her body.

There were times when I lost my mind.

But I’m not going to lose my mind and fall down.

Instead of collapsing as if someone took control of her body for a moment, someone takes Ellen’s body.

It doesn’t even do anything weird.

Just like Ellen, she performs her duties, hunts monsters, and obeys military control.

It’s just that it’s not Ellen.

someone controls my body

The cycles were not yet very frequent, but Ellen was implicitly convinced that they would become more frequent.

Clutching the necklace in her left hand, Ellen gazes at the plain where the monsters were slaughtered.

“Let’s go back.”

Ellen turned her head.

Some already had a hunch about the truth about this unknown situation.

of course.

‘Is there… … ?’

Ellen wondered inwardly if that black ball of cotton would be waiting for her when she returned to the garrison.

The vengeful spirits who hate the demon king neither hate nor dislike small beasts.

That’s why I didn’t feel the pain of tearing my head just thinking about it.

Something that can’t be painful just by thinking about it.

It wouldn’t be a bad thing to have such a thing.

Of course, when Ellen returned to the Royal Class Garrison, the black kitten was nowhere to be found.

Feeling sad about that, Ellen was sullen all day in a different way than before.

* * *

Returning to the garrison, Saviolin Tana shared the current situation with the General Command under the premise of confidentiality.

Unidentified people are paving the way.

Saviolin Tana did not even add that it was assumed to be the power of the demon king. It would only add to the confusion if it became known and spread within the garrison.

If information spreads clumsily, rather than accelerating the advance, soldiers and commanders might come out terrified, saying that they would only fall into the trap dug by the demon king.

Knowing that the Demon King’s army is cooperating is rather an obstacle to the army’s progress.

Keep it top secret, but even if it is known, it must be known as if it were an arrangement of the Allied Forces.

After reporting to headquarters about what was happening on the march, Saviolin Tana looked for someone.

A person who can grasp this situation faster and more accurately than anyone else.

“Forefront reconnaissance… … yo. this?”

“Yes, I need your strength.”

It was none other than the teleporter, Kono Lint.
