105. First impression
In a book I read before,
There was such a phrase.
If you come at three o’clock,
I’ll be waiting from two o’clock.
It was a truly romantic sentence,
It could have been used in a slightly creepy way.
I am like that now.
It is now 8:30 PM.
The place where I am hiding in silence is Adela’s unlit office.
It was a nun who was waiting.
Because I knew you were coming at nine o’clock,
I will be ready to punish you at eight o’clock.
The group called assassins are thorough.

Even if the appointment time is 9 o’clock,
These are not people who come in leisurely and on time.
So, open your ears as much as possible.
It’s time to focus all your attention on the presence of people in the hallway.
How long has it been like that?
Zeuk-
·
I heard it.
Although it was very subtle, it caught my ear.
Rather than the sound of human footsteps,
It was closer to the sound of a heavy wind.
Because I know that the person who will visit here is an assassin of the church,
I stretched out my right hand.
Towards the door.
I wait for the door to open.
They say the hand is faster than the eye,
There are times when you have to rely on your ears rather than your eyes.
Squeak-
·
As soon as the sound of the door opening reached my ears,
I attacked the human beyond.
Whoosh!
Pressure felt at the corner of the right hand.
He grabbed my neck and lifted it up.
“Wow!”
At the meeting with Adela, Adela was not there,
I was surprised as soon as I opened the door.
Because it was a double-designed plate,
The nun in front of her couldn’t even think of avoiding her.
“Ugh…”
However, she is also not an ordinary human.
A close associate of the religious leader. A person who infiltrated the academy under direct orders from him.
The person who was brainwashed by the cult leader,
Because it becomes much stronger under the influence of that power.
Sure enough,
Her arm caught by me and hanging in the air.
Saaak-
It was stained black.
Just like that, the slash was aimed at my right hand.
Reacts automatically at the same time,
Her right hand holding her arm and letting go of her.
“Uh, how…”
The nun was astonished.
Her struggle failed, and I could have grabbed her neck with my right hand at any time.
She also found out about it,
That alone was enough.
Instead of ending her nun, I
I took a couple of steps back.
And said.
“Nice to meet you.”
“……You. What?”
She never lets down her guard.
Although her arm was still stained black.
Without any heed,
I answered the question.
“Ivan Kherson.”
“…Ivan!”
This is our first meeting.
I have never met her,
Nuns also don’t know my face.
However, the moment the name he had heard so well from the religious leader caught his ear.
She reflexively takes a couple of steps back.
However, it seemed like he soon realized it.
“Please come in.”
An empty hallway.
As of right now, there is a distance of about a meter from the man in front of me who almost killed me.
In addition to being told to come in,
That means there is no real choice.
—
We exchanged the most extreme greetings in the world,
I never attacked her when she came into her office.
Rather, after having a cup of tea,
They were placed in the seats of the nun in front and me respectively.
Of course, she didn’t even touch her mouth.
I drank leisurely and started the conversation.
“It looks like you knew my name.”
“……”
“I wonder what you heard that made you look so pale.”
It was an obvious question.
Enough to make her frown.
The nun rolled her eyes from side to side. She
Soon she accepted the reality that there was no escape for her here, and she sharply removed her mouth.
“I came after being told not to meet you.”
“Why?”
“…Because it’s dangerous.”
I have to live first, so I answer,
She holds back words as much as possible.
To correct that attitude,
I decided to remind you of a very obvious fact.
“I am not an enemy of the denomination. “He’s not a traitor.”
“How can I believe that?”
She shrugged her shoulders and continued speaking,
The contents were quite creepy.
“If he had planned to do that, he wouldn’t be alive right now.”
The reason I started with half the opponent,
It was all for this one word.
It is similar logic to when appeasing Adela.
If I had intended to disturb you, I would have just dropped out, tore it up, and preached to you.
I didn’t do that.
Just change the word exactly,
Let’s apply it to the situation just now.
If I became an enemy of the church,
I would have just killed you.
It was a situation that could have been possible, but
I didn’t do that.
So, I am on your side.
“……”
I seemed to understand what you meant, but
She never raises her suspicions.
I would like to add one more word,
A wedge was driven.
“Well, if you don’t believe it, you can run to Dane and ask him. “At least right now, I hope you don’t distrust me.”
“Dain…”
Dane.
She was the chairman of the board who was dispatched before her.
This situation in which I put his name on,
It will make her think of two possibilities.
Either Ivan was proven innocent first by Dane, or even Dane was fooled by the traitor Ivan.
It will be one of the two,
No matter how much you think about it, the former seems more plausible.
Because we think at similar speeds,
By the time she finished thinking, her expression relaxed slightly.
Horok-
The nun finally put her tea cup to her mouth.
“…Next time, I would like to ask for a more gentlemanly hospitality.”
“Well, if I had approached you with both hands up and asked to talk, I don’t know if I would have listened.”
The life of that voice has become dull,
I got to work.
“Adela Cathy. Is it true that you were sent to take her to her Order?”
“…How did you know?”
“I heard it from myself. “I am that friend’s direct teacher.”
The nun’s mouth opened slightly.
She seemed unexpected.
“Are you saying that you brought in the top first-year student and successor to Cathy as her direct student?”
“I hate to repeat what I said, but it’s true.”
As she put down her teacup, I could feel her looking at me with her slightly narrowed eyes.
And then, she carefully removed her mouth.
“…It’s twisted.”
Things went wrong.
It was an appropriate expression.
Let’s think about Ivan from the nun’s perspective for a moment.
The church treated him as a potential traitor and acted on him, but
In fact, Ivan was steadily planning his future.
And, quite coincidentally.
Adela Cash was included in the big picture.
A funny situation occurred where the targets on the same side overlapped.
However, the nun will not be able to back down either.
We said we had misunderstood, and Adela said, “You can use it for your own good.” After saying a word of well-being, she will not go back.
I came here under orders from the religious leader.
And, first of all, Ivan is also under the cult leader.
In that case, it was Ivan who had to give up and change his plan.
I frown slightly,
It conveyed the discomfort of planting.
At the same time, the nun’s shoulders shrank,
She speaks steadfastly.
“I’m sorry for you, but I guess I’ll have to take Adela.”
“Well, that should be it. I understand.”
I leaned forward on the chair and leaned forward.
He looked into the nun’s eyes and said.
“So, let’s get to the point.”
“…”
“I have to listen to the plan properly first, so I can cooperate properly.”
I obtained credit,
You also reminded me why I shouldn’t lie.
It was safe to say that the nun in front of us had become an information vending machine.
In the name of information exchange, I
I started checking everything one by one.
“Is the sacrifice offered to lure Adela the boy she is looking for?”
“That’s right. “You already know.”
“What on earth did that boy do to make her die like that?”
“It’s a lifesaver, but in the end, it’s a cliché.”
I thought I had spent a hot summer night, but it turned out to be a lifesaver.
This really has no candidates other than the main character.
And, just as I expected.
The nun tried to appease Adela by offering a reunion with Adam.
“Does that person who is that boy actually exist in the first place?”
“No.”
The answer was no.
And then, the lament that follows.
This addition was possible because of mutual trust.
It was also very important information.
“Exactly, I couldn’t find it.”
“They said they couldn’t find it. Was there a need to find it in the first place? “It’s not like I’m going to let you meet me anyway.”
“He did this because he was interested in proving its existence. “I failed in the end.”
I didn’t even find it,
It is very different to say that you looked for something and it wasn’t there.
The truth was the latter,
Adam does not exist in this world now.
Judging by the fact that the church did not find him even though they searched for him, he is probably dead.
I swallowed the bitterness inside.
This is what happens in the end.
“Anyway, Ivan, I am even more relieved to hear that you are cooperating.”
“There is nothing we can do. “After all, I am also a human being who works for the cult, so can I go against the will of the cult leader?”
Okay. I found out everything I needed to know.
Now that I have heard the nun’s plan,
Now it’s time to tell you my plan.
In other words, it was time to bluff.
I took out a piece of paper from my inner pocket and waved it.
“I received her resignation letter from her. This probably wasn’t your idea. “I guess the first attempt at appeasement failed, right?”
Common sense tells us that the nicest situation for a nun is.
When they first met, Adela was tempted and immediately decided to run away from her love.
I may have tempted you that way, but
First of all, it failed.
“…Yes. It was expensive. “I’ll resolve it in a good way, so just give me some time.”
Adela’s last conscience,
She put the brakes on ending her and Russell’s relationship with ‘elopement’.
The nun cried and decided to eat mustard.
From Noble mtl dot com
You must be feeling a little frustrated right now.
“I think I can help you.”
“Are you saying you can repair her resignation letter?”
“No. Anyway, that is beyond the instructor’s authority.”
This is true.
A student dropping out is a serious matter.
The confirmation also does not come from the instructor line.
“It would have been nice if it had been possible to borrow Dane’s help, but unfortunately, it is the principal’s responsibility to fix the withdrawal.”
“…I see.”
“So, let’s ignore the opinion of that friend who will be brainwashed anyway.”
“Yes?”
“What I mean is that I will drop out and bring Adela to you.”
I am stronger than you,
He also has a close relationship with Adela.
So, I will try to persuade you.
If that doesn’t work, try to persuade, and if that doesn’t work, just try to use force.
I said so,
She nodded her head.
“How long can you do it?”
“Just wait here.”
I needed to enforce the position of a nun.
Of course, everything you’ve said so far is a lie.
Just as she deceived Adela with a boy,
I cheated on her with her and also with her Adela.
Not only do I have no intention of urging Adela to escape from Russell, I will tell her the whole truth the moment I meet her after she gets out of here.
The evil deeds of the church and the existence of the boy.
And about your identity.
It would be quite difficult to make Adela understand from scratch, but the night was that long.
So, I promised.
“Before dawn. She will come back with her.”
It wasn’t wrong.
I will come back here with Adela.
“…I understand. “Let’s wait.”
Armed with Cheonhwa.
