The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 566

Chapter 566:

Midnight Class B Dormitory.

-Ludwig… … .

– Welcome back.

There are Cristina and Louis Ankton and Anna de Guerna.

And even Dettomorian and Ludwig.

Five people were sitting together.

-I’m fine. Because there are still things I can do.

Ludwig, who may have started working as a security guard, would leave Burinake Temple in the morning and stay outside all day before coming back.

I don’t know if it was Bertus’ breath or what, but Ludwig found something he could do anew, and the despair on his face was gone.

You have to do something to overcome despair.

If you look at it like this, Ludwig will be able to regain a little bit of the bright look of the past.

“uh? He… … ?”

Cristina’s eyes widened as I approached

her .

It’s only natural that all three of them are embarrassed because the cat that should be in the Allied Garrison is here.

“Ellen brought it. Right now, Ellen is also resting in the Class A dormitory. I think I will probably grow them here.”

All three nodded at Ludwig’s explanation.

“Oh, I see… … .”

Anna stared at me, then lifted me up and sat me down on her lap.

… … no wonder.

Maybe I’m too used to sitting on someone’s lap.

I’ve been transforming for too long though. If you go back to being a human, won’t you be able to adapt?

these three.

Seeing as they came back on the same day, I can definitely tell that they are working on the same project.

The deaths of Ludwig and Delphine, who were injured while everyone was sitting together.

Having said that, Ludwig did not cry.

But just because you don’t cry doesn’t mean you aren’t sad.

It seemed that he didn’t know how to express his sadness, rather than saying that he was used to being sent away.

Ludwig thought Delphine was dead because he was weak.

Of course, no one said that Delphine’s death was because of Ludwig.

Cliffman said in the nuance that you were to blame for Delphine’s death in order to dissuade Ludwig, but Cliffman wouldn’t actually think so either.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Ludwig’s fault.

But if Ludwig hadn’t tried to save Scarlett, Scarlett would have died and Delphine and Ludwig would have lived.

However, if Scarlett had died, Ludwig’s self-blame situation would have been the same in the end.

I must have been blaming myself for not saving Scarlett, so Scarlett died. In that case, I wouldn’t have lost an arm.

In the end, the theory of blame for who is responsible is difficult and does not help anything.

If I were to put it that way, Delphine wouldn’t have died if I didn’t exist at all.

In the first place, if there hadn’t been Junior in Bali, the gate situation wouldn’t have happened, so these things wouldn’t have been necessary.

Because of the future I knew clumsily, I had to face the future I was trying to avoid.

When will these difficult stories that everyone blames themselves end?

Everyone can’t be happy, but can the story end happily for those who remain?

I watch the scene of the guys talking about each other after sharing their sadness.

“Is that why you joined the guard?”

At Louis’ question, Ludwig nodded vaguely.

“To be precise, rather than becoming a security guard… … . I’m helping the guards. Patrol or… … . What kind of thing is that?”

Ludwig had been helping the guards for several days and, by nature, would have gone to the most dangerous place.

Therefore, they have no choice but to see the reality of the refugee zone with their own eyes.

“The refugee camp monster problem… … . Are you really that serious?”

“I can’t say it’s not serious, but… … . I’ve heard it’s not as good as it used to be. The real problem… … . I am not a monster.”

“What if it’s not a monster?”

Ludwig’s expression darkened at Christina’s question.

“Even with hunger… … . People are the problem.”

His expression turned bad as if he understood what everyone was saying.

crime.

and hunger.

The refugee zone is not a problem with monsters, but with people.

Ludwig didn’t seem to want to say more.

You would have seen with your own eyes the truth that life is desperate and miserable everywhere, and that’s not a problem that can be solved by speaking out here.

“Anyway, you must be very busy? Seeing how infrequently he returns to the dormitory.”

The words Ludwig brought out to change the topic were the words I had been waiting for.

research.

When the subject came up, Cristina nodded quietly.

“What is it?”

Cristina said that, but Anna and Louis’ expressions weren’t good. That alone is clue enough.

I wish I could ask more questions. Of course, he won’t open his mouth, but just looking at his reaction is enough clue.

“What kind of research are you doing back at Temple? Are you making something like Titan again?”

If more things like Titan were made, the war would go a little easier, so Ludwig could no longer participate in the war, but his eyes were shining.

no.

child… … .

How alchemists and black magicians make huge weapons… … .

Don’t you know the difference between magic crafting and alchemy?

“No, that’s not our field… … . nothing different than usual It’s like improving moonshine and doing this and that.”

“ah… … . I see.”

The lie was obvious.

It was confirmed that all three were involved in the same research project.

And Christina lied as the representative, and Ludwig did not find out. Naturally, only a few people know the circumstances that the bodies disappeared en masse, so there is no way Ludwig would see through such a lie.

He just nodded, wondering if it was because he couldn’t even think of doubting his friend in the first place.

but.

The one who has been silent all this time.

“… … really?”

Dettomorian tilted his head slightly, looking at Cristina with grim eyes.

“uh? What do you mean?”

“I wouldn’t… … .”

Dettomorian muttered quietly.

And, of course, Louis and Anna’s complexions became pale as well as Cristina’s.

I also felt like my hair was standing up.

No, it looks like it’s actually bristling?

Dettomorian, this bastard.

I don’t know anything, but I hit this right now, right?

Dettomorian’s penetrating gaze turned Christina’s complexion white.

“what… … . You may have an idea… … .”

The guy hinted strongly that he knew something, but he stood up staggeringly as if he wouldn’t pry unless he said it himself, and went to his room as usual.

Ludwig looked at Dettomorian and the three pale-faced friends alternately with a bewildered look on his face.

“Dettoga… … . What are you talking about?”

“well? Isn’t Detto like that sometimes?”

Cristina immediately changed her complexion, as if she had never been embarrassed.

Calmly as if nothing had happened.

“It is, but… … .”

To be sure, Dettomorian often said things that he seemed to know or didn’t know, so Ludwig showed no sign of doubt.

Because that’s where it was originally.

I skipped over that one word.

Dettomorian.

I know he’s not a bad guy, but no matter how you look at it, he’s a good guy.

Ludwig didn’t understand the situation properly, and Dettomorian had the attitude that the three of them would do whatever research they did.

After Ludwig goes back to his room, saying he has to go to bed early because he has to go to work tomorrow.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

I watched in silence as Cristina, Louis, and Anna exchanged glances.

Now only these three remain.

So, maybe we can talk about research from now on?

But they only exchanged glances and did not speak.

“Let’s go in and rest, everyone.”

“… … huh.”

“I guess so… … .”

Did they decide not to talk about the topic of research outside?

The three of them just chatted and then dispersed.

* * *

Night time when everyone is asleep.

I left the royal class dormitory still in cat form.

I was able to see the three I was looking for and was convinced that their research project was confidential.

But the inference is only confirmed.

I really don’t know what they are doing yet.

Even if those three are key researchers in the first place, it is clear that a significant number of wizards will also be involved, as was the case with the Titan project.

In fact, I know where to go without having to follow the three of them.

There is no way such research could be conducted outside of the temple. There is no way to conduct such a research project outside the temple, which is more secure than anywhere else.

Project Titan was developed on a moving Allied base.

It must have been a fairly harsh environment, so it was a miracle that the Titan succeeded in its first maneuver.

However, there is no reason why the research environment should be poor.

Since the Titan is an overly large superweapon, it would have had no choice but to be developed in the field where the Allied Forces were moving.

If it wasn’t for that situation, Titan would of course have been developed in a stable environment.

As long as it’s clear that research is going on at Temple, it’s clear where the place is even if I don’t follow the B-class three.

Where is the best research environment in Temple?

Temple University.

There, of course, the Magic University Research Building.

It is a self-evident fact that research is going on somewhere.

The reason I didn’t go there until now, knowing it would be, is simple.

-… … .

After running through the night temple, the Temple Magic University, where they arrived, was completely restricted from entering and exiting.

There were temple guards near the facility, and there were people monitoring the entrance to each research building as well.

The number was staggering.

There were so many guards that even an ignorant person could see that they were doing something inside.

Maybe it’s because it’s strict.

Anything is possible in that area.

There is no chance that the guards will try to chase a cat away.

The important thing is that the only place I can go around in this form is the research facility site.

It would be impossible to get inside the building.

Rather, if a stern beast tries to enter, it will be driven out. It’s only natural that, regardless of whether I’m suspicious or not, a beast might accidentally enter the research facility and touch something harsh.

There is nothing to be gained by wandering around the site itself.

So even though I knew the project was going to happen here, I didn’t bother to come and waited for the three of them to come out and spill the information.

However, the three of them do not mention their research, probably because they have been silenced.

Somewhere in the Temple Magic University research facility right in front of me.

Here, a large-scale project comparable to the Titan Project is underway.

How are you supposed to find out what the heck you’re doing?

Kono Lint does not attract.

I also told you not to recognize it with my mouth, and this is obviously dangerous.

It only makes him dangerous if you let him know that he is useless.

It is impossible to transform into a bug. No, you can, but you won’t be able to control it.

It took me a year to get used to being a cat, but I don’t even notice bugs.

Should I call Sarkegar this way?

But now, even the site itself is heavily guarded.

The area where the research is conducted will obviously strictly control not only the personnel but also the environment itself.

It is highly likely that the environment is so precise that even crawling insects are not tolerated.

Can Sarkegar find a way out of that situation?

The use of force is, of course, out of consideration.

Of course, if you think about it without hindrance, it is possible to enter right away.

Christina Anna Louie.

If you transform into one of the three, you should be able to enter right away.

But, of course, it is the worst of the worst.

frustrated.

It’s so frustrating that I just want to grab Bertus by the collar and ask him what he’s doing.

Of course, if you were going to do that, you would have contacted me a long time ago, so it was too late. Even if I ask what I’m doing after making Death Knight in the first place, it’s funny, and if I say I’m going to grab it by the collar and fight, just like the Empire has no reason to give up on Titan, I won’t give up on this either.

How is it?

There’s no big problem if you ignore it at this point, saying that the empire will take care of it. After all, the research here is probably a project prepared for the current war.

But just as everyone in Edina was worried about what would happen if the Titans headed for us, even if that would never happen.

It is unknown whether the research conducted here will later become a threat to us.

If it was simply a level of making it a Death Knight like we did, it might not be something we need to look into this far.

But after black magic, alchemy.

The link doesn’t mesh.

It seems that more complex research is going on than I thought.

I couldn’t figure out what it was.

There’s no corner to break through if you’re wrapped up alone.

I gave up.

Let’s go back to Edina for a while and come back.
