1031. Episode of EVE 25
The shocking fact that among the characters I see as the opposite sex, the one I like the most is Eve von Lohengrin.
However, when I saw it, I nodded without realizing it. I was convinced because it made perfect sense.
Based on the original, my favorite was Yuzunael, and the second favorite main heroine was Eve. If you include the subs, she’s third.
Meanwhile, Yuzunael is living a life of student council with Eve without knowing where she is. No matter how much I think about it, Eve’s favorability rating can’t help but rise.
That doesn’t mean I really love Eve and think, ‘Oh my. She’s my main heroine! I’m going to confess in front of the legendary tree tonight and make our love last forever.’
Of course, if you ask if it’s okay to be comfortable and friendly and have fun joking and talking every day, that’s closer to Sylphia.
Really, is the human mind this unpredictable?
“Let my mind think slowly, is it now the fifth act?”
Act 5 of Eve von Lohengrin.
It is the beginning of an all-out war with the Black Flag.
The story progresses faster than the original, but that won’t be a big change.
“We’re not going to the black market, but rather we’re going to take the head of the executive who’s camped outside. That executive is connected to the Demon Tribe, so if we don’t deal with him quickly, corrupted people will emerge.”
The demons infiltrate the dark hearts of humans and feed on them to grow.
Now is the time to thoroughly organize an expedition and destroy those guys.
He gently stroked the dagger hanging on his waist.
Even when the moment comes to kill someone, the mind is excessively calm.
Did I become a psychopath who still sees this world as an extension of a game and feels no emotion when killing humans? No, that’s not true.
Rather, the opposite is true.
If I don’t kill them, Eve will come out and take their heads.
I don’t want to see that. That’s all.
***
Eve blinked several times after hearing my report.
“Are you a Black Flag official who collaborates with the Demon Tribe?”
“Yes. I want to form an expedition to subdue this.”
“Um… who is that?”
“Saracenia. A disgrace to the Knighthood.”
“Ah. I know who you are. Hmm… . Shame. Right… .”
Eve hesitated for a moment, then nodded as if she understood.
“Tell the knights. This is their chance to wash away their shame. I’m sure they’ll all join in.”
“Yes. How many nights and days do you expect it to take to process?”
“It should be done within the same day at the earliest. It should be done within two days at the latest.”
“Is that possible?”
Not possible.
What could possibly go wrong?
“Oh. And there’s someone I definitely want included in the expedition team… .”
When I told Eve his name, he nodded lightly.
Nephterian.
As long as he’s there, the conquest of Saracenia won’t be that big of a problem.
“Then let’s quickly set out. You just wait and report.”
“No. I will go with you.”
“It’s dangerous.”
“You are much more dangerous. Even summary execution is not effective. Dealing with the demons is the duty of the royal family. I have no intention of abandoning that duty.”
“Whew. I get it. I get it. But… . It’s going to be a fierce battle. Be careful as much as you can, and…”
“And what?”
“No matter what I do, I hope you don’t hate me.”
“?”
Eve tilted her head, not understanding.
okay.
If you don’t understand, you should just deal with it as you see fit.
***
Saracenia.
Although he is a mid-boss in Eve’s story, his evil deeds feel undervalued for a mid-boss.
This Saracenia is a shameful existence even for the Knights’ College, so there have been movements to punish her in the past, but because she is so elusive, it has been impossible to even guess her location.
Alias. ?Master Slayer?Saracenia.
I approached the place where the students of the knighthood were packing their military gear.
“You’ve had a hard time.”
“Ah. You are Prince Wolfram von Lohengrin! Please take good care of me!”
“Hmm. I’m looking forward to it.”
The eyes of the guy saluting me are sparkling. His voice is bright and refreshing. How could I forget it?
The girl I always brought to parties and raised with great care. This is Nephterian.
“Excuse me. Do you really know where Saracenia is?”
“Of course. I gathered all of you busy people like this, but it turned out to be false information… I don’t intend to end it with the same nonsense. Trust me and follow me.”
“all right!”
At my request, Nephterian quickly removed his suspicious gaze. First of all, I will trust him. It was an answer that conveyed the guy’s way of thinking very well.
“Okay. Then, let’s begin the conquest of Saracenia. Our ground goal is one. The slaughter of Saracenia. And the safe return of everyone.”
“killing….”
“Are you… going to kill me?”
Everyone is abuzz.
I guess they only thought about catching them and locking them up somewhere, but they probably never even imagined killing them.
“Yes. Kill him. There is no reason to spare the traitor to humanity who has colluded with the Demons.”
“Ha, but… . Yes. Oh, I understand!”
The knights’ college guys are trembling. As expected, it doesn’t seem like they’ll be of much help in killing Saracenia.
Well, these guys’ usefulness isn’t in an all-out war with Saracenia.
Then where do you use it?
“Then, since I am weak, I will ride in the cart carrying the luggage.”
“Oh, yes… .”
Of course you have to give me a ride… .
What are you going to use it for?
***
Saracenia.
The so-called [Master Slayer] resides in the jungle south of Zephrin.
Because we had to forcefully make a path into a place that didn’t seem like a path, we needed the shovel skills of the College of Engineering.
“Leave the wooden planks that were used to make the road as they are. One row cuts the grass and passes, the second row pushes it to the sides, and the third row makes a path with planks for the cart to pass through.”
“yes yes!”
The knights’ department guys move quickly at my direction.
Yeah, that’s right.
The reason I brought these guys here is to make a path for me. I don’t have enough stamina to walk.
What kind of crazy boss would clear a path for himself to get to? Of course he had to clear a path for himself to get in.
One by one, they were getting tired, but the path was steadily made in the direction I had directed, and the students of the engineering department took turns working together to finish the work.
“Over there… I see a building!”
“Really!”
A report was heard that made the students of the College of Knights look at us suspiciously, wondering if that bastard Wolfram was deliberately trying to turn us around.
The four-story barracks over there.
It looked like a knights’ college dormitory.
Actually, that’s not wrong.
That’s another dormitory.
We quickly finished our meal, keeping a short distance between us.
No matter what, I couldn’t make a fire, so I ended up with just sandwiches and drinks, but the sandwiches were full of meat, and the meal I prepared had a lot of stamina recovery and ability boosting effects, so even the students who were exhausted on the way here were able to regain their energy.
Since the meal was only one serving, it wasn’t a lot of luggage.
“All hands. Prepare for battle.”
Everyone quietly drew their swords.
From now on, let’s go kill the Master Slayer.
***
Saracenia.
Why is that guy called by the outrageous nickname “Master Slayer”?
We must first understand what it means to be a master.
Master. An expert in a field.
Another meaning is….
Master’s degree.
That is, a graduate student.
Saracenia was a graduate student at the Faculty of Engineering.
Going to graduate school from a journalism department meant you were a lunatic, and she was exactly that type of person.
I don’t know what she was aiming for and what her goal was to go to graduate school for, but her advisor was a total piece of trash. He took 1.4 million lin from her monthly salary of 1.8 million lin for various reasons, including textbook expenses, and she, a freshman, had to live on 400,000 lin.
While doing so, he gaslighted her by asking if she was going to give up after putting in all that time and effort, and even stole her thesis. In the end, Saracenia stabbed the professor to death.
Up to this point, there is some room for leniency. However, from then on, she goes down an even more wrong path.
She made a deal with the devil.
He amplified the dark hearts of the graduate students around him and made them eat the devil, and the devil then manipulated the graduate students into placing magic stone bombs on the professor’s desk, shredding the professor’s thesis in a shredder, or going to academic conferences and giving out other professor’s bread while mentioning the name of their advisor.
The graduate students who had caused such an accident were imprisoned, but one by one, they disappeared from sight, and it didn’t take long for them to realize that all of this was the work of a villain named Saracenia.
Saracenia escaped, but the graduate school admission rate of the College of Knights fell even further, and the professors who lost a good talent, branded Saracenia a villain and issued an arrest warrant.
If you look up to here.
I might seem like a slightly mischievous graduate student!
Yes, I might have turned a blind eye to that level of evil, but the problem is the graduate student who was drained of energy by that guy. And Saracenia herself.
Literally the poison itself.
Neither she, who had her emotions consumed by the demons, nor the victims she had increased can return to being human.
If she was a normal demon, it might not have mattered, but the demon that ruled her mixed in a curse instead of the emotions she had consumed.
So, this is a poison spore nest.
“Let me confirm with you one last time. None of you want to go to graduate school, right?”
“Of course!”
I nodded after hearing Jeonwon’s confident answer.
Let’s kill him and go back.
***
Saracenia’s dormitory.
About fifty graduate students who had popped out from inside were staring at me, each holding a weapon.
The faces of these people are half-dead and you can’t find any sign of life even if you look hard enough.
“Ugh… . Ugh… .”
“Is this what a human being, addicted to curses, says?”
“That’s ridiculous….”
The undergraduates frowned and covered their noses.
Because their appearance was just like living zombies.
No. I doubt if he’s even alive.
but.
“No. That’s just what graduate students look like.”
“yes…?”
“From the moment they had an accident and had their emotions eaten away by the demons, their condition has been fixed.”
“Ah… Then really… .”
“Yes. These are the words of those who aimed to go to graduate school… . This is what they look like in their daily lives. That’s… a graduate student.”
“Ugh… . Ugh… .”
“Ugh…!”
Some people turn away, others gag.
Something emerged from that horrific situation.
There are freckles under her eyes, her face is half-sunken, the corners of her glasses are crooked, her hair is roughly tied back in a bun, she has no makeup on and has acne, she is as skinny as a skeleton but her body is not well-proportioned, her arms are thin because she sits too much but her butt and thighs are thick, her clothes are haphazardly put on and there are stew stains on top of them, and she has been wearing socks that are like sleeping socks for so long that the wool is dead, and she even wears slippers. She is a graduate student.
“oh my god….”
“How… How could someone like that…?”
okay.
That’s the ‘Master Slayer’
It’s Saracenia.
?You guys…. Student Zeprin…??
In the darkest shadows, a darker voice rang out.
Her gloomy voice is laced with hatred and anger.
“Yes. That’s right. I am Wolfram von Lohengrin from the Department of Magic, who has come to subjugate you.”
?I see. Are you a graduate student??
“no.”
?Then an undergraduate student…? An undergraduate student came here…? To catch me…??
“Yeah. Don’t look down on me because I’m an undergraduate student…”
?With that youth, you came to laugh at meoooooooooo!!!?
“Huh… What is this? This dark aura… .”
?I went to graduate school! I’m ten years older than you guys! You treat me like an old man?! I can’t forgive you. I can’t. I’ll kill you!?
Singing of sorrow and curses, the sorrowful graduate student roared.
?Give me your youth!!!?
