Chapter 73 – Butterflies Flap Their Wings Twice (3)
Fucked.
There was only one word that could describe the current situation better than the word fucked up.
‘The dog is fucked…!’
To be honest, I didn’t expect the princess to remain at this point.
If I had to make an excuse, it was because the princess never stayed at the academy during vacation when I was playing ‘Aka Assistant Teacher’.
‘…I should have thought that the contact with the princess was strange in the first place!’
As things go, the princess doesn’t begin to reveal her hidden nature and plans until about the second half of Chapter 4.
Until then, not only had the princess never personally visited me, but if she happened to run into her in an unpopular place, she would be instantly killed.
So, of course, I had a lot of other things to do until chapter 4, but I didn’t have to pay attention to the princess.
…I’ll tell you in case you don’t know, but the reason I’m running like this now isn’t because the princess’s life is in danger.
Would the princess worry that I was crazy when she knew that she could fight the army alone?
Of course, there is still a lot of time left until Chapter 4, when the princess goes to war with the army alone, so she may not have matured yet, but the essence doesn’t go anywhere.
Probably, even if there were dozens of Hikkat, they wouldn’t be opponents of the princess.
And in hindsight, Hikat is difficult to kill because of the defense of the ring, but in terms of combat power itself, even a senior in the second year can handle it.
It’s been a long talk, but in conclusion, I’m worried about one thing.
‘…The princess’ runaway.’
To be honest, I couldn’t have predicted what kind of chemical reaction would happen when the princess met Hikkat.
It was the first time the princess had responded favorably to me, and the first time I had stayed at the academy during vacation.
If you’re really lucky, the princess might choose to hide her powers and go through without anything happening.
‘…But it can’t be.’
I brushed my hair back and clicked my tongue.
In a situation like this, the idea that the princess wouldn’t do anything was too optimistic.
Liana Lumenhark, who would do anything for her own pleasure, could not pass up this opportunity.
Will definitely do anything.
‘There are two options that come to mind first… ‘
The lesser evil is for the princess to reveal her ‘true identity’ to Hikkat.
If that happens, the princess would have to give up all of her ongoing plans, so I think the possibility is low, but the princess is not a predictable being.
It is a being that can throw away everything that has been planned so far for the pleasure of the moment.
‘…Still, this is better.’
The real worst that came to mind was something else.
The princess, bored with the situation in which she became a hostage, just killed Hikkat.
It may seem like a big deal to kill Hikat, but due to the nature of the princess who still hides her power, there is a high possibility that she will kill all the students who learn her secret.
…And unfortunately, based on past experience, the likelihood of going down the extermination route was much greater.
As I said before, the princess is a disaster.
While playing ‘Aka’s assistant teacher, the princess kills her ‘Eugene Calliope’ for no particular reason, and her save data is lost when she dies.
If I did that a few times, I couldn’t help but feel angry.
That’s why I once accused her princess in the episode after her death.
When many students at the academy were watching, they accused the princess with inexplicable evidence of what kind of person she was, what kind of evil she had committed, and what kind of plans she was making in the future.
At the time of the successful accusation, I thought I had beaten the boss in Chapter 4, but…
It was an illusion.
The princess, who listened to it calmly, smiled at me and gave her applause, then killed all the witnesses except me at once.
…I still vividly remember the scene where countless students were scattered as dust at the same time.
And the words the princess brought out from the dust were spectacles.
‘…Now, even if you disappear from here, no one will know?’
If there are no witnesses, it is Liana Lumenhark who translates the crazy sentence of assassination into reality.
‘…Absolutely not!’
If the princess runs out of control, this world will completely deviate from the story of the ‘Aka Assistant Teacher’ I know.
Of course, even now, details such as attacking Vivian with tricks and saving Tristan are different from the romance, but the main story itself has never been twisted like monsters appearing during the midterm exam or Hikat attacking on the first day of vacation.
However…
It is a different story when the princess reveals her true nature of her.
It should be after her 4th chapter no matter what, that she starts to be active in earnest.
‘…At least I have to attack the saintess to have a chance to fight against the princess.’
Until then, confronting the princess was tantamount to committing suicide.
As I breathed in my white breath, I saw the beautiful blonde hair that I was sure belonged to Liana Lumenhark glistening in the moonlight on the roof of the dormitory in the distance.
‘…Damn it.’
Finding out the location of the princess was good, but her problem was that the princess was not alone, but Hikat and the other students were with her.
The princess alone would be of sufficient value as a hostage, but it seems that Hikat, that greedy bastard brought other students along with her.
“…Hit it!”
I can’t hear it properly due to the distance, but the atmosphere on the rooftop is unusual.
…How long will the princess’s patience be in that situation?
I don’t know, but it certainly won’t be long.
In fact, due to her princess personality, she had to be said to be amazing just for enduring without running out of control until this point.
‘…I’ll be late if I walk up the stairs.’
There was no time to go back to the front door and climb the stairs one by one to reach the rooftop.
I clenched my fists and leaped into the air with telekinesis, stepping on it and running.
─Pajik
I have only stepped on the first step, but my body shakes with an uneasy sound.
The second and third scaffolds are made.
It’s a technique I’ve never been able to use in succession this far, even in practice, so I’m uneasy…
I had to succeed now.
***
“…I never thought the princess would stay! Bad luck follows in the end!”
Looking up at the sky from the rooftop, Hikat shouted.
Hikat lost all his subordinates due to the unexpected appearance of an ambush, but the situation changed completely when he got his hands on the princess.
Originally, he intended to escape by holding the students hostage, but now that he has the princess in his hands his, he may be able to ask for more.
“Everyone move over there!”
Schoolgirls huddle in a corner screaming as Hikat points her sword at her princess and chins her up.
This was exactly what Hikkat was thinking of as students.
Unlike Luciana and the purple-haired crazy bitch, those who lacked actual combat experience were normal when they were busy trembling rather than thinking of fighting back even if they were slightly intimidated.
“Princess. If you stay calm, no one will get hurt.”
“…No, it’s okay if you don’t step out.”
“… ?”
When she suddenly saw the princess saying something out of her context her, she thought at first that her fear her had driven her out of her mind, but that was not the case.
“I will take care of it. Please wait patiently.”
“Shut up! Who are you contacting right now..!”
Hikkat gritted his teeth.
Even the princess needed to be shown what she would suffer if she did not obey orders to remain calm.
However, she decided to strike her with the back of her sword, as it was a burden even for Hikkat to dare to use her sword her against her princess her.
“…”
However, the moment he looked into her princess’s eyes her, Hikkat felt a sense of understanding.
There was no emotion in her princess’ eyes.
While doing this kind of work, I met a lot of assassins whose emotions were castrated, but it was different from them.
No, it was the wrong expression to say that I didn’t feel emotions.
Rather, there are so many things contained in those eyes that it is almost impossible to express them all with a small vessel called a human being.
‘…What’s this?’
Hikat gripped the hilt of his sword with the uneasiness of seeing something in human skin.
“…Hmm… Hostage taking is less fun than I thought.”
At that time, a word the princess uttered became a signal flare.
“I told you to shut up!”
The moment Hikat raised his sword with the determination to not kill, but at least leave a scar.
“… Stop.”
The man’s voice that could not be heard behind him stopped his sword without realizing it.
Hikkat, Liana, and all the other students all looked in the direction the voice came from.
With everyone’s eyes focused on one spot, the man jumped out of the air and landed on the roof with a thud.
The man had black hair that didn’t match his well-groomed face his, his breathing his was rough, and he had bloodshot, animal-like eyes.
“… Get back if you don’t want to die.”
Eugene Calliope, who slowly got up, warned again in a cold voice.
