89. What we got
Pelia came to visit,
Scarlett was in no condition to welcome her guest.
The reason I left the room in the first place was because she had already fallen asleep when she had placed her head in my hands.
However, I thought it would be a bit long to talk in the hallway, so I went outside.
The place that Pelia led the way was,
She recommended me and Scarlett when we first came here. It was under a tree in an open space.
A chilly wind passes by my collar.
There were many things I wanted to hear from the demon sitting next to me, but I decided to ask the most basic thing first.
This is a question that should have come up right away when you open your eyes, but due to the atmosphere, it was a confirmation that had to be postponed.
“What day is today?”
“Huh? There’s no calendar here?”
“…So, how long have I been asleep?”
“Well… Ah, three days. It happened exactly three days later.”
It is said that three days have passed.
A whopping three days. 72 Hours.
Thanks to the ‘aristocratic face’ built into Ivan’s subconscious, nothing embarrassing happened while he was fainting.
I promised myself again.
Crazy things like runaway cubes,
Decided to completely seal it.
“Oh, I called a carriage.”
“A carriage?”
“You said you were an academy instructor? I should go back. Or were you planning on doing some sightseeing here?”
“…Thank you for your kindness.”
When I heard the word carriage, it felt real again.
It’s over. Now all that’s left is to go back.
The purpose was achieved, but
I didn’t want to cheer.
I turned my head and looked to the side.
When I saw the side of her face from my side, I couldn’t see her expression because one of her eyes was covered with a bandage.
So I decided to just ask outright.
“Do you have any plans?”
“Plan?”
“Yes. Well, it’s not a big story. “How are you going to live in the future? That’s it.”
“It’s grandiose enough.”
She giggles and laughs.
However, it was far from the humorous behavior it had been when it first encountered me.
Covering depression with vitality,
Staying sane through mania.
Even though it is the same smile, the weight is so different.
Guilt toward Felix.
Disgust at having helped kill her younger brother.
And, even if the revenge was successful.
The price also remains as a scar forever.
It would be enough to break my spirit.
Even if you hang yourself right now to go see your brother, I have no right to stop you.
However, isn’t it possible to raise concerns?
He is a talent worth dying for.
Soon, the answer came back.
“I went there one more time while you were asleep. “In the temple’s basement torture chamber.”
“…Did you really have to go again?”
“Yes.”
I took a deep breath,
Pelia continues speaking.
“Because I am the older sister. “I need to know what happened to Felix and how much pain he suffered.”
It may not have been a pleasant process, but
From the trembling voice, I thought that I wouldn’t have been able to bear it if I didn’t do that.
“So, I don’t plan on biting my tongue or wasting time in a corner. “Maybe you can’t sleep because you’re so unfair?”
I killed the cleric, but
The female spirit decided not to shake off her hand.
Her next revenge was directed further upward.
“We will destroy the denomination.”
It also overlapped with my goal.
“I’m glad to hear that.”
“Right? I knew it.”
“But it won’t be easy.”
The owner of the stigma died here.
And soon, the cult leader will also find out.
It is natural that support will be cut off,
Wouldn’t they send assassins to find her mastermind, catch him, and kill him?
“It will be so painful that you won’t be able to sleep comfortably. Can you afford it?”
“You’re coming on your own to catch me, right? So you’ll welcome me with open arms?”
There was a rustling sound,
She held something out to me.
When I looked closely, I saw that the badge was stained with blood.
“The new leader of the back alley, Felia Cist, will have to deal with him personally.”
“Huh.”
Blood-stained badge.
In a way, it is the symbol most suitable for the revenge demons of the newly renovated back alleys.
I think I underestimated her.
I was planning on proposing to her in the first place, but there was no need.
At first it was Scarlett,
The cleric took over,
In the end, the position was usurped by Pelia.
A person who represents and is responsible for this place.
He had no intention of turning down that position.
“…Well, in the end, I am the owner of the pants.”
“Yes?”
You were doing well and then suddenly you became the boss of Baji.
Aren’t you motivated by revenge?
When I asked back with doubt,
She answered in awe.
“What? Do you really think I look like I have good hair? “Are you going to use this many members at the right place and destroy the church all by yourself?”
“…So, are you saying that there is some hidden talent that will lead them on your behalf?”
She heard what I said,
She looked at me with one eye.
As if he was asking why he was doing that again.
Then, she raised her finger and pointed this way.
“It’s you.”
“……”
After quietly standing up,
She walks in front of her.
“What the cult took away was not just Felix. “Because the children in the orphanage were all someone’s younger siblings and children.”
“…It’s a shame.”
“That’s right. It’s a shame, and I guess he turned his back on the church because he had a story. “I don’t really want to ask.”
That was only half true.
I was possessed here alone,
I can’t even guess the depth of her feelings.
However, one thing is certain.
“We might be able to help you with your plans someday. No, it will work.”
What I got from here is,
It was not just about material things.
“So, I’ll be waiting.”
Numerous crews in the back alleys.
The talents hidden within.
From Noble mtl dot com
And, a new commander who can move them.
I gained a connection called Pelia Sist.
Having a friendly force for me at the regional level was a huge benefit.
Someday, when you become openly hostile to the church.
Or, when something goes wrong and you have to hide.
It means that you have someone you can rely on.
I listened to her thoughts without hesitation,
I decided to offer whatever help I could.
“Please search the cleric’s living quarters carefully.”
“Hmm?”
“Because there is an armory somewhere there.”
A terrorist attack that was scheduled to occur soon.
For that purpose, weapons were mass-produced by the owner of the stigma.
Now that the back alleys have turned to my side,
The arsenal is no longer a variable.
“And, rather than my brother.”
“Huh?”
“You can call me Ivan.”
You keep calling me your brother. If you know my name, call me by your name.
I didn’t even talk to him after seeing him today.
As she slowly walked into the darkness, her appearance soon began to blur.
“Phew.”
I could hear laughter.
It was a sound that felt uncharacteristically pure.
“Now that I look at it, it’s not that bad.”
“…I will take it as a compliment.”
Just like that, she disappeared.
It was as if I had evaporated, assimilated into the darkness.
With only the last words left.
“I’ll look forward to it, Ivan.”
—
The next day, a carriage arrived in front of the orphanage.
From behind Scarlett and I, who were riding there, we heard loud voices.
I don’t know the world yet,
Young voices with a lot to learn in the future.
“Priest brother! “You have to come visit again!”
“Give hello to Felix!”
“Goodbye, Scarlett!”
What the hell are they doing this early in the morning?
How did you know and come to see me off?
The answer was obvious.
She turned her head towards the tree in the clearing.
“Well…”
Scarlett was waving to the children.
Her gaze naturally follows me.
“What, what is there?”
“No, there is nothing.”
If you don’t look closely, you won’t know.
She’s waving her hand under the shade.
It was a one-sided pupil, but
Because it was completely different from the color of the leaves.
I admire the wisdom contained in that eye smile,
I got on the carriage.
“…In case you didn’t know, this carriage also has a front seat.”
She is the one who rides next to me.
I thought you didn’t know about the existence of the front seat, but
She wasn’t like that.
“I’m borrowing it for a moment.”
Width-
Scarlett uses my shoulder as her pillow and closes her eyes.
In the past, this would have been unthinkable.
Once again, I could see how wary she was of the man named Ivan Kherson.
“…Aren’t you leaving?”
“Oh, yes. I have to do it. Sorry, Nauri. Flaw…”
I finished by urging the coachman to look back happily.
Events in the back alleys.
But, maybe I’ll see you again.
“Pelia Cist…”
“What, why is his name listed? What did you do?”
“…I’m going to sleep for once.”
—
The Academy has finally returned.
While riding the carriage, I organized what I had to do in the future.
First, we need to figure out how this new ability called jealousy works,
You also have to look at the heroines’ assignments,
We also need to check whether a new chairman has arrived.
No, more than anything else.
First of all, I want to sleep for three more days.
I thought so.
And, Ivan was a human being who was more efficient dozing off in the evil spirit’s stronghold than in the countryside.
Paula’s house visited with light steps.
Let’s stand in front of the temple of the Academy,
I erased all the thoughts I had before.
No, I postponed it for a while.
“Ugh, huh. hehehehe…”
Pitiful Crying A pitiful crying sound that would rank in the top ten even at the world championships.
It doesn’t even come from inside,
She sits down in front of the statue in the yard and cries.
Even if she constantly wipes away tears with her hands,
It pours out like a broken faucet.
The ground was getting wet.
Aren’t you dehydrated?
Paula was sobbing with her head down that she didn’t even realize I had come to the temple door.
And now, this paper stuck in front of me.
That may be the reason.
-Forcible execution in case of non-cooperation
…First of all, I have to ask.
To the Saint Paula who was sitting there.
No, to the homeless Maria.
What the hell is going on?
