Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

128 – Ruid’s Choice (4)

First line of defense, Windsor House.

Sophia was laid neatly on the bed.

The therapist, who had been examining the body for a long time, stood up.

“The body is normal.”

“Do you know why it doesn’t wake up?”

“I’m not sure, but… “

Louise nodded her head as she looked at the gray-haired old man.

“In the past, I have cared for a patient with a similar condition. It was 12 years ago when there was a massive wave that would never happen again.”

He stared at Ruid calmly.

“Have you heard of Memories of Memory?”

“No.”

“It is more cruel than any other demon. If you get hit by that demon, your very existence will disappear.”

“…… Existence itself?”

Ruid’s pupils widened.

I knew that there were various types of mines, but I had never heard of such a thing being possible.

“Yes. No one will be able to remember. Lovers, family, even children.”

“Does that have something to do with Sophia?”

“Symptoms similar to those suffered by the memory demon. It’s like a doll, it’s alive, but it doesn’t feel like it’s alive. But… I don’t think this girl is like that. It remains in everyone’s memory. This is the limit of my ability.”

The therapist said sorry.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”

“No. It was helpful. You may go.”

“Sure.”

After the therapist left, Louis sat in her chair with a sigh.

“Is it like this?”

I was expecting it.

Even if the Sofia of the past and the Sophia of the present are exchanged, there is no way the dead person will come back to life.

Well, even if you change the past, Sophia’s death is already ‘confirmed’.

Ruid was just curious.

Deep in her heart, she couldn’t save Sofia because she had ‘doubt’ about her own magic.

Or maybe she-no matter how much magic she had, she couldn’t bring the dead back to life.

“Even if you exchange rotten bread for new bread from the past, will that part still rot? It’s been a good study.”

The magic failed.

But there was an income.

At least Sophia’s body, which was a mess, is now normal.

It would be nice if only the soul could be saved, but it is far off at the moment.

Ella is confined to her closet and is trying to find her way, but even if she is Ella, this case is difficult.

“Is there anything more I can find out? No matter how dead you are, you can’t do any more experiments. Now… “

‘Currently, it is impossible to save Delrin without any intervention. After all, is it best to let the warlocks take care of themselves?’

If possible, I wanted to save Delrin.

But it’s not that simple. You can’t even use dragon hearts. Unlike the first emperor, Delrin does not have a body.

In the original work, the black magicians also used the three sacred relics, not corpses.

In other words, we have to save Delrin without a body… What immediately comes to mind is one of the three sacred objects. It’s just using ‘Tears of Delrin’.

It is unclear whether this will work properly.

Ruid stopped thinking and stood up.

She opened the closet and pondered for a moment. All of her clothes in the closet were wild.

‘In the military, this was called a ski kappa, right?’

To withstand the cold, it is an outer shell made of thickly bundled ‘White Bearwolf’ hair.

Ruid doesn’t get cold very much, but he enjoys wearing it. This is because the soft polar bear fur on the inside feels very good.

There are also various colors. White, black, green.

Ruid took out green and put it on. She zipped it all the way up her neck. She was a bit heavy, but her overwhelming warmth made up for it.

‘This is it.’

Satisfied, Louis slid her sleeping Sophia once, opened the door, and went out.

It’s already been a week since the incident happened.

Ruid decided that sending the students to the system like this would be a handshake, and for the time being, she took the students as her original plan and came to the first line of defense.

Students generally panic. If it was natural, it was natural. Because the friend who laughed and chatted until yesterday died.

But it wasn’t that serious. Even though she is an empty shell without a soul, at least she was trusting Louis when she saw Sophia, who looked fine on the outside.

She

Thanks to her, she got a cause. She was able to detain them with what she called, until Sophia woke up.

So the situation is neither serious nor hopeful. No, it was a problem if it was too quiet even after one person died.

… Yeah that was the problem

After coming out, Ruid kicked off the ground and flew into the sky.

“…… I mean, it’s weird. It’s so quiet. A commoner I know. Especially with Justin, it’s not strange to make a fuss. Are you overwhelmed?”

Ruid frowned as she crossed the sky at high speed.

A part of my heart kept feeling stuffy. Ruid found the place where the students were gathered and lowered the altitude.

They were training. The swordsmanship department was led by Amelia, and the magic department was led by Hercy.

Ruid landed next to Charlotte, who was watching with a yawn.

“Ah, boy. How about the mafia?”

“Sofia, not the Mafia. It’s still the same.”

Charlotte smiled and tapped her own thigh.

Louise, who suddenly opened her eyes, quietly went over to her and sat down on top of Charlotte. Charlotte whispered as she hugged her Louis de.

“Brother. What are you going to do?”

“… ….”

Ruid looked at the trainees in silence.

‘But why is Asha over there?’

“Does the boy have an interest in that child too?”

“No, not really… “

“Is it a jackpot? I didn’t know there were people with such talent in Jedo.”

“Ashaga, do you have any talent?”

‘Come to think of it.’

Ruid recalled the sparring she had with the student council in the past.

She didn’t have a seat, so Asha, who only put in her assortment, surprisingly did her part.

At that time, I just passed it on, but I never thought I would have talent.

“He is a coveted talent. If she only trained for about two years, she could be put into the Knights of Windsor.”

“That much?”

Ruid was a little surprised.

She knew how difficult it was to become a Knight of Windsor.

“What can I say… He wields his sword really poorly, should I say the finish is good? The process is bad, but the result is good. That’s a good talent, boy. Did you find out beforehand?”

“Uh, uh… “

Louise replied with her shy face.

After a while, Ruid spoke in a small voice.

“Forever, we can’t leave it like this.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Did you know?”

Louise nodded her head.

One day, they will return.

There’s nothing wrong with saving Sophia, but-

If not.

“If a problem arises, what choice will our boy make?”

Charlotte smiled brightly.

“…… I do not know.”

I know rationally.

What crime could the emperor be guilty of now?

All you have to do is resolve it amicably.

But emotionally…

The scene I saw then was very impressive.

Perhaps Ruid’s mind was already inclined towards the fall of the empire.

In that state, if the Empire uses Sophia’s death as an excuse to damage it.

Then it’s like…….

Doesn’t everything seem like an order to destroy the empire?

**

Ruid visited Irene’s office.

After completing the mission of the 4th defense line, Irene returned to carry out her original job, ‘Overseeing the 1st defense line’.

However, one thing is unexpected……

“Damon. What did you tell me to do that bothers you?”

“Hmph, easy question. Crush, kill Anything other than that is uncivilized.”

“Hmm. You learned it right.”

‘… What the hell did you teach the kid!’

Ruid couldn’t contain his astonishment.

Originally, Damon lived with a bit of madness, but he was now consumed by that madness.

“Oh, Louie.”

“It seems like I haven’t seen you in a long time.”

“… What have you been doing?”

Ruid approached Irene with a shy face.

“Come here.”

Irene hugged Louis and sat down in her seat.

If you hold Charlotte loosely, it feels like holding Irene so that she can’t move.

Feeling as if you are being restrained. But she doesn’t feel too bad.

‘This.’

Louise’s eyes widened as she was hugged by Irene, and she saw a map in her eyes.

What were you doing with Damon until just now? The table was pretty messy.

Things like chess pieces are placed all over the map.

‘The red ones are monsters, and the blue ones are knights.’

Countless red pieces are placed in a row.

What is unusual is that the middle part is empty like a tunnel.

“A map of the defense line?”

“Right, Louie.”

Irene patted Ruid’s head and explained briefly.

“As you can see, together with Damon, we penetrated deep into the fourth line of defense.”

“Did you catch Damon and the monster?”

“Because you are Louis’ friend, special training?”

Ruid looked at Damon with her quivering eyes.

“There is no such thing as training. It was all about chasing after Irene Windsor.”

“But did it help?”

“Yes. Thank you.”

“You will be able to become a good emperor.”

‘Really… Irene is unpredictable.’

Ruid let out a sigh.

She suddenly took Damon and wiped out the monsters in the defense line.

Even the emperor… ….

‘Emperor?’

“… Oh, sister Irene?”

Louis hurriedly turned her body.

“Why? Cute.”

Irene smiled and unzipped Louis’ night jacket. Thanks to the large night gown, Louis de’s face, which was half hidden by her, was fully visible.

“Emperor, what does that mean?”

Ruid asked, wondering. Irene blinked her eyes and answered without hesitation.

“It meant that Damon would become emperor.”

As if saying something very obvious.

“… ?”

“You are twice as cute today, Louie.”

Irene brushed her cheeks, her eyes twinkling.

“A friend of such a cute Louis would have to be an emperor.”

“Now, now, wait a minute.”

Ruid grabbed Irene’s arm.

“What are you talking about, sister?”

“Huh? What’s wrong with you?”

“A problem, of course! That… You mean treason.”

“I don’t feel good when you say treason.”

Damon frowned.

He crossed his arms and proudly declared.

“It’s just getting my place back.”

“That is treason… !”

‘Why are things like this?’

Louis couldn’t contain her bewilderment.

She knew that Irene was an asshole, but she didn’t know that she would gaslight the well-to-do prince to the extent that she declared, ‘I’m going to become emperor!’ In such a short period of time.

“Louis.”

Irene grabbed Louis by the armpit and lifted him up.

“Ugh, yes.”

“You don’t seem to understand.”

“… Of course.”

“Then ask the other way around.”

Irene smiled as usual, raising the corners of her mouth.

But her eyes were serious.

“Is there any reason why Damon shouldn’t be emperor?”

“That…… “

Ruid blinked her eyes.

Come to think of it, there was no such thing.
