The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 651

Chapter 651

Cliffman’s Message To be precise, it’s a request or a request.

Wanting to meet Liana.

It’s not a matter for me or Charlotte to decide in the first place.

Of course, I could tell him to go see him, but I didn’t want to do that.

Does Cliffman have the right to say he wants to see Liana?

Cliff didn’t even say he would take our side if we let him meet Liana.

Even if he is on our side, does Cliffman’s power mean much to us at this point?

Cliffman definitely got stronger and his major improved a lot.

However, in the current situation where master classes and archmages are infested, Cliff’s power won’t mean much.

It cannot be a variable like Kono Lint.

You might be thinking about things like that.

But I decided not to consider those things.

I didn’t even want to think about that.

Relationship issues are important.

Maybe the most important thing in the world.

I think so.

The world has become this way because of his relationship and his emotional problems.

If I wasn’t the demon lord Balie.

If Ellen wasn’t Lagann Artorius’ sister.

Unless Charlotte was the emperor’s daughter.

Because getting close without solving those problems properly is the cause of all the problems.

Such matters should not be treated carelessly.

So, in the end, this issue is not my decision.

You must decide.

“Me… … ?”

When Liana heard Cliffman’s message, she put on an indescribably strange expression.

Liana’s dilated pupils showed how surprised he was by that statement.

During his time at Temple, Cliffman was a shy guy.

No, that wasn’t enough.

Not knowing how to treat men as well as women, we met countless times at the gymnasium, but it was only after a few months that we exchanged our first words.

Even with the girls, when Ellen or Harriet talked to her, she often stuttered and sank alone.

In other words, he was a guy with a day’s worth of social skills, but his bowl was the size of a bowl of soy sauce.

When I was dealing with someone, I lost my mind alone and collapsed.

On the other hand, Liana did not cover her face at all.

On the outside, he looks very picky, but in reality he is very easy-going, so he didn’t care what anyone said.

In addition, she was always active in everything, so after getting close to the kids, it was always Riana who always told her to go somewhere to play.

A guy who covers anyone.

The guy who doesn’t discriminate against anyone.

Although they are different from each other, I rather thought that people with completely different personalities fit better than people with similar personalities.

In fact, Liana always looked at the passive Cliff and continued to drag him around.

I was the one who decided to put Cliff in Mr. Temple, but Liana was the one who helped me the most.

Eventually, the two became friends.

When Duke Grants died, he also vowed revenge on me.

But Liana showed up to rescue me on the day the gate avalanche opened, without saying anything to Cliffman.

Without saying anything about the real cause of my father’s death and the decision to rescue me.

Can we call that a betrayal?

However, while the work of Temple days was a few years ago in terms of time, it feels like it was a few decades ago in a sense.

Everyone has changed.

Liana has changed, and Cliffman must have changed too.

Cliffman, who was always passive and had difficulty dealing with people, asked to meet Liana.

and.

Liana was always active and bold and acted as if she didn’t even know the word shy.

“… … .”

Liana’s face turned blue and she was trembling.

* * *

Could Liana’s actions be a betrayal?

Liana would not have wanted to take Cliffman on a dangerous road.

Really, at that time, I had no power to speak of. Following me, even trying to save me from being held captive by the Empire, was madness.

Harriet was the only one who agreed to act with Liana that day.

Liana didn’t even know that Lord Vampires were trying to save me.

It was crazy risking her life, and Riana would have been prepared to die that day.

So I couldn’t have said that to Cliffman.

In fact, he couldn’t have taken Cliffman with him on his way to his death.

However, even if it is not betrayal, there may be a sense of betrayal. I don’t know what Cliffman thinks of Liana’s actions.

Of course, Liana wouldn’t know either.

Cliffman said he wanted to meet Liana, but didn’t say what he thought of her.

I don’t know what Cliffman thinks of me.

Like Christina or Ludwig, you might want to hold me accountable.

I’ve been through too much to imagine what it would be like in my Temple days.

Neither I nor Riana knew what Cliffman was thinking about and why he wanted to meet him.

That’s why Liana’s complexion turned blue and she was trembling.

I don’t know what you’re going to hear It is possible to be attacked at any time.

So much has changed that Liana is not the old Liana and Cliffman is not the old Cliff.

I can’t help but be afraid of that.

It’s not because it’s dangerous to meet.

The moment when you check with your eyes and hear with your ears how things have changed can be terrible.

Neither me nor Charlotte could judge this message.

At the very least, you should let Liana know.

“There is no need to force a meeting.”

“… … .”

If you think about it, it’s better not to meet.

Whether Cliffman is on our side or not doesn’t mean much to the general trend.

But Liana is one of the most important people on our side.

At the very least, there was only one possibility that Cliff would harm Liana. So it’s better not to meet.

The possible gains are very small and the possible losses are enormous.

If you hit the calculator, this encounter can’t even be considered.

However, although I can bounce the abacus, I have no intention of interfering with the result of the abacus.

Only one thing is important.

Doesn’t Liana want to meet him?

Even if I don’t have to say it, Riana should be able to calculate this much.

If you don’t want to meet, you don’t have to meet. Whatever the reason.

The decision is left to Liana.

Just as the results and reality of this world are not the result of calculating profit and loss.

In the end, what matters is not the gains and losses.

Liana was terrified.

It’s a strange thing.

Riana during her Temple days was clearly a psychic with tremendous potential. However, the force at that time was not very strong.

However, Riana was always full of confidence and confident.

What is Liana like now?

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most powerful psychic in the world.

Now, Liana’s power has become unmatched by any wizard, not just psychics.

Now, Liana, who has become stronger than anyone else, has become the opposite of her personality.

Easily depressed, struggling, and suffering.

turned into a negative

When he says he wants to meet Cliffman, he is terrified of what he will say.

Liana has become weak as much as she has become stronger.

Liana says.

“… … hey.”

“uh.”

Liana’s eyes were shaking.

“I am so scared… … .”

haven’t met yet

I don’t know what Cliff was thinking.

However, Liana’s eyes were burning bright red.

“I’m scared… … . I think I’m going to die… … .”

There is only one reason for such a violent reaction.

It must be because Liana values only Cliff.

Because it’s clear that your precious person will treat you with a different attitude than before.

because it’s so scary

I have no choice but to say that I am going to die.

okay.

The moment I face the changed Ellen would be in a similar context to the fact that I hate and fear to the point of death.

Liana trembled for a long time with her head down.

There were quite a few times when I showed anxiety.

But it was the first time I’d seen him so weak.

“still… … . Shall we meet?”

It must be because, apart from the position of King of Thunder, I think that as a human named Liana de Granz, I shouldn’t refuse it.

“There is no need to meet.”

Must we meet?

I’m not sure about that.

Rather, after meeting them, they may come back hurt in body or mind, and they may not be hurt.

“But let’s think about it later.”

“later?”

“okay. I don’t know what happened, but let’s think about it later.”

It is impossible to know what the future holds.

However, now he is in a situation where he can make a decision to meet only Cliff.

later.

“If you decide not to meet now, do you think you will regret it later? Do you think you won’t regret it?”

I don’t know if I’ll have a chance to meet Cliffman in the future.

But at this opportunity, if I said I would never meet you.

If he gave Cliffman such an answer or ignored it altogether.

what will happen

What would Cliffman think and would Liana regret later?

We put aside the necessity of whether we should meet or not.

I only think about regrets.

If we don’t meet, will we regret it or not?

“It’s scary like I’m going to die right now… … . however… … .”

Liana raises her head.

“If you decide not to meet now… … .”

Tears eventually fall from the red-hot eyes.

“I think I will live with this feeling for the rest of my life… … .”

I don’t know if this situation is an opportunity or a crisis.

but.

If I don’t meet you, I think I’ll regret not meeting you for the rest of my life.

Liana seemed to think so.

* * *

Is there something that you must face even if it is a scary and scary thing?

Isn’t it okay to run away or evade and pretend not to know?

But there are things like that in the world.

Something you will definitely regret later.

If you avoid it because you are afraid now, you will surely regret it later.

That’s why I’m afraid and scared, but there are things I have to do so I don’t regret it later.

For Riana de Grantz, that was it.

‘I can go with you.’

At Reinhardt’s words, Liana shook her head.

‘no… … . Meeting alone… … . I think it fits.’

I didn’t want to show the slightest sign of preparing for the eventuality, so Riana chose to face it alone.

They need someone’s help to come and go, but they have to be alone at the moment they face each other.

Even if it can’t be atonement for the time you left without saying anything, it’s the least polite thing to do. Liana thought so.

In the first place, Cliffman’s request had no reason to be accepted.

Heinrich, who conveyed the words to Louise, too.

Even Louise, who had heard that outrageous request.

Rowen, who handed over the message.

Charlotte and Reinhardt too.

Same goes for Liana.

and.

Even Cliffman, who actually said that.

I wouldn’t have imagined that it could happen.

However, in each person’s judgment, the message was transmitted beyond people, and the meeting was concluded by Liana’s own judgment after hearing such a request.

The world has changed, times have changed, and people have changed.

They used to be able to meet each other by passing through the dormitory hallway and knocking on the door, but now that so many things have changed, they have to go through countless people before they can convey what they want to say.

Let’s see.

You have to go through a lot of people just for that one word.

It became so difficult to move even a single word.

meeting that was so successful.

A forest where there is nothing but the strewn corpses of subjugated monsters and a long way to go.

Was the time really long?

However, psychologically, due to the nature of the era, where we had to experience more time than the time that had passed, we had no choice but to feel that time had passed for decades.

Cliffman could have the meeting he wanted on a stump there.

“… … .”

There was the face only Cliff wanted.

Always confidently, sometimes to the point of being overbearing.

The person who grabbed Cliffman’s arm and always dragged him somewhere and confidently swung the boy, telling him to trust only his sister and follow him.

Now, with both hands together, eyes were downcast.

Like a person who doesn’t even deserve to make eye contact.

As if he had committed a great sin and was unable to even look straight at the other person.

“… … hi.”

It was a very small voice, almost impossible to hear even the words he was struggling to bring out.

like that.

“Long time no see… … That’s it… … .”

Cliffman could see Liana de Granz, who had become so small that she couldn’t get any smaller.
