Chapter 164
Episode 164 Message Test (3)
A fight between someone who is trying to provide information somehow and someone who has no clue whatsoever.
Of course the winner.
“Thanks for the advice! “I’ll go first!”
“… … okay.”
It was Luna. After finishing her conversation with her Charon, she left her post.
This is because we had to take care of Leger, who had fallen due to centrifugal force.
“… … .”
It was a frustrating conversation just to watch.
However, there was a subtle smile on Charon’s lips.
Could it be the proud smile of a father?
Of course, a smile appeared on my face as well.
“Hehehe.”
“… … What. “Those eyes.”
“Can you see my eyes? I can’t believe I see narrow eyes. “It’s truly amazing.”
“bouncer. You’d better not let your guard down. “The paper test will never be easy.”
“I think so. “It is an evolution of the entrance exam.”
Charon frowned.
“… … “I gave you too many hints.”
He responded lightly by shrugging his shoulders.
I knew from the beginning, but I’m acting like I found out thanks to Luna.
If you say you knew before then, the psychological warfare from hell will begin again as to where you got the information.
I wanted to avoid that kind of thing as much as possible.
“I guess I’ll just have to go. “Make sure you work hard too.”
Charon turned around.
He is truly a pathetic guy. He wants to leave as soon as his business is done.
‘I can’t send it away like this.’
A puzzle piece called ‘Rhenia’s Death’ obtained through Lucia.
You have to use it to solve a puzzle called Charon.
This may be due to the deceased’s desire to know all the stories in this game.
‘If you’re lucky, you might be able to attract Charon as an ally.’
Become on the same side as the imperial rat?
You can probably get most of the information easily.
When Charon took a few steps towards the entrance to the training ground, he opened his mouth.
“Anyway, are you really surprised?”
“… … ?”
“I never would have thought that the person who took care of Renia-sama was Teacher Karon. Wow, that was a real shock. I thought I was making progress in this direction… … “I think we still have a long way to go.”
Charon turned and looked at me.
Actually, it was closer to glaring, but I decided to place significance in stopping for now.
He glanced in the direction where Luna was and approached me.
“What’s surprising is actually mine. “You mean you didn’t know that until now?”
Come to think of it, Lucia was like that. It’s an incident that everyone who knows is aware of.
So, it is not unreasonable for Charon to say that.
‘Because the information I have provided so far is considerable.’
A child with a lot of suspiciously good information.
So, of course, he would have information that he killed Renia. You would have thought so.
‘Maybe it’s one of the reasons you saved me from the anthill.’
I am the one who said that I dreamed of being the Leicester family’s rat.
But he confidently approaches her even though he knows that he killed Renia?
They couldn’t help but think highly of me.
“… … .”
Charon looked at me intently.
You know confidential information, but you don’t know non-secret information.
You might think this is strange.
But it’s not to the point of being suspicious.
Although our relationship is quite strong for us to be suspicious about something like this.
In the first place, information tends to be focused in the direction one wants.
“Now that I think about it, you said you dreamed of being the Leicester family rat. So, are you planning to take revenge now?”
“It can’t be. On the contrary, I felt confident.”
“assurance?”
“yes.”
I opened my mouth while using the [Open Eyes] skill.
“I’m sure you’re hiding something… … “That is.”
Charon’s mood changed. Just as intended.
Now I am in an extremely serious state. If you’ve been falsely accused, tell me. I will listen.
The [Open Eyes] skill seemed to encapsulate the above sentence.
Use the skill to hear Charon’s inner thoughts.
but.
“Nothing is hidden. I killed him and decapitated him. “That’s it.”
Charon did not easily reveal his true feelings.
He is a truly annoying person. How about you tell me a little bit?
“Hehe, I don’t think you protect Miss Luna simply out of guilt.”
“… … “I have never protected you.”
How can you say something like that even after giving Luna a terminal artifact?
He is truly shameless.
Well, I don’t know if I can continue to react shamelessly even after hearing the next words.
“Hehe, one of the enemies is Teacher Charon… … “I really wonder how Miss Luna will react if she finds out about this.”
“… … !”
Charon’s complexion hardened.
At the same time, the frozen face distorted. It’s like looking into a mirror full of cracks.
This expression is not appropriate when describing a person’s facial expression, but it cannot be helped.
It’s the first time I’ve ever seen an expression like that.
‘I didn’t know you would react like this. ‘Does she mean that she doesn’t want to be hated by Luna?
If I didn’t have eyes to see, my neck might have turned 180 degrees.
But the expression changed only for a moment.
The distorted face instantly returned to its original state.
Did he realize his mistake? Charon burst out laughing.
“As expected, one provocation is top-notch. “There is no way you would tell Luna about that.”
“Hehe, why do you think that?”
“Because you have to do business with me and get information about them.”
Bastards.
I’m talking about the guys who framed the Lester family and accused them of treason.
“If Luna harbors hostility toward me, there will be a major disruption in information exchange in the future. “I don’t think you would do something stupid like that.”
That’s correct. I won’t tell Luna that Charon killed Rhenia.
However, the reason is slightly different from what Charon thought.
I already know exactly who the ‘culprit’ who made the Lester family like that is, and that’s why.
‘I’m just not telling Luna the truth.’
Yes. Although Charon killed Renia, it was those bad guys who created that situation.
I don’t know what happened, but I guess he had to kill Renia due to unavoidable circumstances.
So we can’t say that Charon is the problem.
Of course, Luna may view Charon as a target of revenge.
Do you forgive the person who killed your mother just because there were unavoidable circumstances?
It’s not easy.
Anyway, unless it’s something special, I won’t tell Luna that Charon killed Rhenia.
‘I thought Charon would understand my intentions right away… … .’
It only lasted a moment, but Charon couldn’t control his emotions.
It must be that he cares for Luna that much.
“you’re right. It’s other guys that Miss Luna should be envious of. “The dirty bastards who made the Leicester family like that.”
“… … .”
“So please tell me the truth about that day. You don’t know, do you? “Maybe Miss Luna will understand.”
Luna was used to pressure Charon.
but.
“… … There is no such thing. There is no need for that child to understand.”
Stubborn.
If you apply more pressure than this, it is not surprising that your neck may turn.
For now, I decided to take a step back.
“Well, that’s enough. “I just need to find out.”
“Stop it. Let’s dwell on the past. “Nothing changes.”
“Even if we can’t change the past, we can improve our future relationships. Do you plan to stay by Miss Luna’s side, hiding your secret for the rest of your life?”
“… … .”
Charon closed his mouth. Maybe she thinks that such a relationship isn’t that bad.
Don’t you know that the longer you cheat, the more hurt the other person will suffer?
‘Well, it’s not something I care about.’
There will be another opportunity to collect the puzzle pieces about Charon.
So, you need to focus on other things, the things that are right in front of you.
‘There are two things that need to be solved right now.’
First, the fifth main quest, ‘Get recognition from Lucia’.
This is a pass for now. There is still a week left, but there is no clear breakthrough.
Then second.
‘How do I get that damn sunfish rabbit to pass the honors class… … .’
An incident occurs during the midterm exam, and if the current plan is followed, it is possible to explode like in the ant cave.
Since the students from the top class will be put into groups, Leger’s promotion is essential.
In other words, Leger must achieve excellent grades in this paper exam and be promoted to the advanced class.
And in order to increase that probability even just a little… … .
“I need something.”
“What?”
“I need to get confirmation first. “Can you get me what I want before the paper exam?”
“… … “I don’t know what it is, but judging by your reaction, it seems like I can do enough to save you.”
After all, it is Charon. If you pretend, you pretend.
As the deadline was tight, I knew that I would ask for something that was common sense.
“Of course, if you pay enough.”
“We will answer any questions you may have. Oh, except for the question about the Leicester family.”
“Is this providing selective information? “This is very impudent behavior.”
About 10 seconds passed? Charon continued.
“Okay, what do you want?”
“First, we need three intermediate artifacts that block illusion magic.”
“… … “You’re saying you’re going to take the second test the same day.”
It’s just as he said.
As mentioned earlier, this paper test is an evolved version of the entrance test.
Labyrinths, illusion magic, and duels.
There are small changes, but the big picture has not changed. This is especially true for illusion magic.
‘As long as you have the artifact, you can easily attack it.’
Not only Luna but also Leger will be able to endure it well enough.
“That’s stupid. “You don’t think they’ll ban the artifact?”
“Hehe, then it can’t be helped. But haven’t you decided to allow it?”
Because guessing what the test is is also a skill.
Yes. Today, when the message test was announced, the test had already begun.
This means that inferring the content of the paper test is also a part of the test.
‘During the entrance exam, there were children who obtained information through illegal means. So, Elester used strong magic, but… … .’
This time it is an ordinary illusion magic circle.
A mid-level artifact should be enough to overcome illusion magic.
“Think whatever you want. bouncer.”
“Looking at the reaction, it seems like what I said is true. I took a picture and guessed it right. Wow, I had no idea my photography skills were this good.”
“Shut up and keep saying whatever you want.”
Instead of sympathizing with me, you cursed me.
This is why T doesn’t work.
‘Someone like Yuridia!’
I felt a little more at ease. Because I cursed very harshly in my mind.
“I need an artifact that eliminates odor.”
“Anything else?”
“doesn’t exist.”
Charon rummaged through his arms and took out something and threw it.
It is a small, square-shaped container. An unidentified hippopotamus pattern was drawn on the outside.
‘Information window.’
[Pure white hippopotamus: D]
This is an artifact developed by a wizard to get rid of terrible foot odor.
It is excellent at removing odor.
Cleanliness +10%
An artifact that removes odor.
It’s not surprising that Charon has it.
Although it is also a low-level artifact that even ordinary people can afford without any burden.
‘Because Charon is an assassin.’
For those who have to work in secret, smells are a no-no.
Eliminating odor is essential.
So he always had it with him, and he threw it to me.
“I will try to obtain the welcome defense artifact as quickly as possible.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
It was while I was collecting artifacts. Charon asked quietly.
“Where do you plan on using that?”
Where are you planning to use it? Of course.
“Hehe, is it a secret?”
Charon’s face turned bitterly cold.
