48. Bad baby

“An ancient witch?”

Sen asked me back with a puzzled expression.

No matter how much the extermination party is, there will be no information about the depths of the Pandemonium Forest, so it’s a natural reaction.

However, I couldn’t tell you everything in detail.

It’s a kind of secret to the world.

Something huge that shouldn’t be known.

“There is such a thing. Anyway, the academy is in a very dangerous state right now.”

That bug just now must have been a minion of the ancient demon beast. Because there was a sentence I knew.

Of course, there were odd parts.

‘If you’re dealing with bugs, is it Abbiel?’

King of worms, Abiel.

He leads numerous bugs and cannot use magic, but the number and physical abilities of his minions are excellent.

It should not be taken lightly, but it also meant that he defended his place with his physical abilities among the ancient beasts who dealt with various high-level magics.

‘But Abiel was already dead in a previous life.’

The bugs he left behind were so numerous that I often saw them in the forest, but Abiel heard that he had already died before I even went into the forest.

‘Abbiel is still alive at this time?’

I heard about it from a witch I was close to, but he didn’t like talking about other people, so there’s no clear information.

Anyway, from what my close friend told me at the time, I heard that Abiel was a demon who personally demonstrated that even a bug could be called a disaster.

‘iffy.’

I’ve never dealt with Abbiel myself, I don’t know why he’s here, and who’s calling him.

I have no idea.

‘Anyway, it means that it’s dangerous that his minions are revealing themselves like that.’

I once read that when one insect appears in the house, hundreds of insects are already living together.

Abbiel was probably worse than that, but not less.

“What the hell are you thinking all by yourself?”

“ah.”

Unknowingly, I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I had forgotten Sen’s existence.

She was sitting on my bed and staring at me before I knew it, but I thought it was better and smiled slightly.

“Let’s do one request.”

I have to use the line of the extermination party here, where should I use it?

“What?”

“It looks like there is a guy who is calling a very dangerous magic beast to the academy right now? Call your officers and ask them to catch him.”

The amount will be greatly divided, but isn’t our dean there?

Anyway, if I don’t stop it, the academy will all be destroyed, so I’ll bring the money even if I have to go into debt.

Then Sen’s expression darkened and he shook his head.

“I haven’t been able to contact the Extermination Squad lately.”

“What?”

what is this again

But suddenly, as if he had started counseling, Sen began to speak at random about what he had to say.

“After Zavalanco, I lost contact with him. And that’s it. While entrusting the assassination of Javalanco and collecting information, he hid from me the fact that he used to be an executive of the pirate lord.”

It was her first time seeing her like this.

Sen’s eyes trembled in fear like a child who had lost his parents. I was shaking and feeling like I didn’t know what to do.

‘The gang completely ruined the kid.’

It is highly probable that the Defeat had betrayed him, but he was still unable to let them go. Because they thought they were everything.

But it was strange.

As far as I know, she will act as a scoundrel in the future anyway and eventually die by my sword.

I pretended to think for a moment, then replied, don’t worry.

“Isn’t it difficult to contact you right now? For example, fighting a fighting dog.”

“Then why did you hide Zavalanko’s information from me?”

“……I guess they were trying to test you.”

“exam?”

“To find information on the target person by yourself?”

I just spit out anything, but Sen nodded his head slightly to see if he understood.

“I see.”

“Anyway, I can’t get in touch with the Extermination Corps right now, right?”

If this is the case, it gets weird again.

But Sen shook his head and got out of bed.

“I’ll accept it.”

“What?”

“I am also part of the Reaper. I will accept that request.”

“Is that possible?”

To be honest, I wanted to borrow even a cat’s hand, so if I accepted it, there was no reason to refuse it.

However, the opponent who does not know who they are is a threat to the extent that they are summoning ancient magical beasts. Sen could be dangerous.

“It’s okay, I’ll start moving right away tomorrow morning. A person who behaves unusually or is different from usual. Anyone who seems to be up to something will be investigated.”

Her face, which had been pale before, seemed to have a little vitality, but it felt like she had set a goal.

“OK got it. Please.”

Upon entrusting the quest, Sen went out of my window with bold steps and went back to his room.

*

the second day of the festival.

I, who entrusted the quest to Sen, was now in a state of supremacy.

And with his head on Arni Duratan’s lap.

“I lost everything.”

As I spoke in a hoarse, dying voice, Arni responded by gently holding my hand.

“I am still there.”

Arni making eye contact with me.

Raising the corners of my mouth slightly, I slowly closed my eyes.

“The thing I wanted the most, finally came to me.”

Now that I have closed my eyes, I don’t know what Arni is doing, but it seems to be gently stroking my hair.

“Ugly person.”

After the crying voice, we waited for a while, and Professor Bertio’s bitter voice was heard.

“It’s not enough, it’s still not enough. The emotions are not well captured.”

“is that so.”

Arni getting pale.

Professor Bertio continues with his own advice.

“Have you ever liked or liked someone? It will be a little easier if you substitute him.”

“……All right.”

“Think of it as Ares.”

As Professor Bertio whispered quietly so that he could not hear me, Arni glanced at me and replied, droopingly, that he understood.

I wondered why the boy, who was always confident, suddenly did that, but anyway, practice continued after that, and it didn’t get much better.

After such a short practice.

As I stretched out, someone tapped me on the back.

“Were you here?”

“……”

I thought it was going to be some kind of goblin.

Mei, who was crossing her arms, glared at me and snorted.

“I asked you to go on a date, but where the hell are you going around like that?!”

“No, I was caught helping Arni act.”

I don’t know why I’m making excuses, but I felt like something would happen if I didn’t.

Maybe she thought it was because of the play rather than avoiding herself.

“Let’s go. I mean, I have plans to do it with you.”

Watching May speak with a smile, I cautiously loosened her arms, feeling aching in my heart.

“why? okay. Originally, we were going to be together during the end of the festival, but I’ll just end it with today. Instead, let’s play with that density.”

It was a fun festival, so I tried to say it after the festival was over if possible, but I felt like I had to tell Mei now.

I didn’t want to give any room.

“May, like I said before, I have someone I like.”

“……”

“I don’t want to give you room and hope so in vain.”

definite refusal.

But if you don’t do this, you’ll end up only hurting Mei.

“I am very grateful for what you have for me. I also don’t want you to get hurt more here because you’re precious.”

I thought this was the right thing to do, even if my relationship with her went wrong, or if it was simply a relationship where I came to help out of necessity.

Mei replied calmly.

“You said it last time. I know.”

“Yes, so this is…”

“I know that?”

May takes the candy out of her bosom and starts tearing off the wrapper, but the wrapper doesn’t open properly, unlike usual.

“This is the first time I have felt this way. It’s the first time someone really liked it and couldn’t stand it. In the past, I thought I liked Ares, but these days, the feelings I feel when I see you are completely different.”

May continues to speak while staring at the candy she barely unwrapped without putting it in her mouth.

“So I’m really sorry, but I can’t afford to care about what kind of mind and emotions you have. I am overwhelmed with my feelings right now.”

“However……”

I tried to say something, but Mei’s candy slipped into my mouth. She put the candy in her mouth and twisted the stick around so I couldn’t speak.

“Why are you uncomfortable? Are you annoyed by the tangle of bitches you don’t even like? I was always a selfish bitch.”

“……”

“So let’s go, I’m hungry.”

As I watched Mei lead me with her arms folded again, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut and followed her tremblingly.

It wasn’t persuasive.

but,

Because she could see the small drops of tears in her eyes, who had been pretending to be indifferent, glistening in the sunlight.

As if his body had lost his strength, he had no choice but to follow her without saying a word.

“Bad bastard.”

A small whisper came out so bitterly that I couldn’t even hear me right next to it.
