Episode 234. I have demon blood flowing through my veins, but I am not a devil (4)
Meet and talk to Adonis 1:1 (1/1)
Proving that you are not an enemy (1/1)
Survive for 5 minutes (success)
[Congratulations! You have met all the requirements.]
[You have cleared Main Quest #6 ‘Prove to Adonis, the Thunder Emperor, that you are not an enemy.’]
[Adonis’s affection for you increases.]
[You will receive 300 EXP and 15 Gold as a reward.]
[You have acquired Adonis Original Secret, ‘Adonis Ryu Counterattack (S)’.]
A system window appeared, blurring my vision.
But my taste buds were bitter.
‘To waste the opportunity to obtain Adonis’s secret weapon like this… … .’
I glanced at the wall of the training ground.
The wall that Adonis had blown away as a demonstration was still lit up with electricity making a crackling sound.
As expected of an S-class skill, it had incredible power.
‘I grumbled that it would be easy to follow… … .’
Well, it would definitely be easy.
This means that [Adonis-style counterattack] will be used automatically as soon as [Sword Defense] is activated.
‘It’s a shame, considering the reward I received from Adonis… … .’
If you just activate it, you will be able to deliver a certain critical hit.
I also know a way to increase the ‘activation probability’ of [Sword Shield Technique].
‘We have not suffered any losses, so let’s be satisfied with this level.’
It was a quest that was so difficult that it was impossible to clear from the beginning.
It’s amazing that he didn’t die.
It was a time when I was straightening my hair that had fallen backwards due to wind pressure.
“Now, it’s time to satisfy my curiosity. Where did you learn about Ilseom? What was the deal you made with Caron? What was the devil’s curse on you? And also… … .”
Adonis’ questions continued without end.
Although he tried hard to pretend not to care, it seemed like he was curious.
“Haha, aren’t you asking too many questions?”
“It’s only natural. It’s also to protect you, so I hope you’ll give me the information without hiding anything.”
“Um~ First, contact Professor Caron. He will be able to explain it more clearly than I will.”
“Hmm… … Personally, I’d like to hear both sides.”
That won’t work.
There were two reasons why I did not want to give information directly to Adonis.
First, information errors may occur.
‘If you talk to Adonis, there will be times when he will present a different argument.’
There may be some differences from what was said to Caron.
What if Charon and Adonis, who were matching information about me, found out about that?
It was a perfect time to be dragged to the torture chamber that Caron had newly acquired.
And the second reason, and much more important than the first.
as soon as.
‘Because my skin is precious.’
Time was already running towards 1:00 a.m.
To maintain skin as clear as white jade, you need to get enough sleep.
It was obvious that I would have to stay up all night talking to Adonis, but I didn’t want to put in that much effort.
‘But it’s too weak to use skin as an excuse.’
So let’s talk about something more important.
“Unlike Adonis, I am a child in the midst of growth.”
“Oh, that’s right. I was fifteen. I keep getting it wrong.”
Unlike Adonis, who has already grown up, I am a child who is still growing.
Adonis knew very well that growth and sleep were inseparable.
“I have to attend class tomorrow too.”
“Hmm! I see. My thinking was short-sighted. I almost made a big mistake.”
Is it because the goal of old age is to nurture future generations?
Adonis accepted my opinion more easily than I thought.
“Okay, then let me ask you just one thing. It seems like you have a lot of information… … Where did you get that information?”
Information power on the level of Caron. No, information power that is enough to make a deal with Caron.
It’s an incredible amount of information for a fifteen-year-old student to have.
‘This is information I’ve gained from playing the game thousands of times… … but it’s a given for me.’
This is not the case for Charon and Adonis.
But it is impossible to reveal this fact.
therefore.
“Haha, it’s a secret.”
A phrase said while placing the index finger on the lips.
Adonis, who had been blankly staring at me, burst into loud laughter.
“Phew! I see. Of course, we should keep it a secret. With that much power, I guess we can make a deal with Caron.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“Okay, I’ll ask Caron myself. It’s a bit difficult, but… … I guess there’s no way around it.”
“Are you in trouble?”
“Aren’t there just so many eyes watching? You can’t even call a rat… … .”
I could immediately sense Adonis’s situation.
The number of students avoiding Charon is considerable. No, it would be safe to say that all students avoid Charon.
‘I have a cold personality, but… … I’m scared.’
I wonder if they will drag me to the torture chamber because they don’t like me, or if they will infiltrate the family and find out their secrets.
Because of this, there were many children who couldn’t even ask questions properly.
Anyway, Charon, who was usually difficult to approach, was also Charon, but Adonis had the same problem.
‘Adonis is… … cute.’
Short stature, youthful appearance that makes it hard to believe he’s fifteen years old.
Because he had golden hair and eyes, there were children who treated Adonis like a chick.
In particular, girls were crazy about it.
But then that chick squeaks and approaches Charon?
Everyone would think it’s strange.
It is unclear what effect the public meeting between Charon and Adonis will have on the main characters.
‘I guess I have no choice but to step forward here.’
The story has already changed a lot. Any further variables were out of the question.
“I’ll take care of that.”
“Huh? Are you talking?”
“I’ll make arrangements to meet you tomorrow at lunchtime. The rooftop of the library would be appropriate, right?”
It’s easy to make an appointment with Caron.
I could have spoken to Charon directly, or I could have sent a note through the rat.
Unlike Adonis, I am known to be quite close with Charon.
“Hoo… … It looks like it wasn’t a lie that I was close with Caron.”
“Haha, don’t say such horrible things. We’re not close, we’re just in a business relationship.”
“Hahaha! Is that so? I want to hear about you from Caron soon.”
Adonis slapped my back, as if he was so happy.
I wonder if Adonis knows that my HP has just been reduced?
“By the way, does Caron know?”
“What are you talking about?”
“That you have the Holy Sword.”
Yeah? Of course… … .
“… … .”
I don’t know
I didn’t even know that I was under the devil’s curse. Of course, this is a lie.
“It looks like you didn’t tell anyone. Hiding information even from Charon… I don’t know whether to call this bold or a foolish act.”
Adonis is more closely related to Charon than to me.
The information that I have the Holy Sword will naturally be spread, and it is natural that Charon will assault me ??for not telling me… no, threaten me.
Now that it has come to this… … .
“Hehe, could you please convey the message clearly?”
“I wonder if there is a reason to do that.”
“If you have any questions later, I will provide you with the information.”
“A deal… … Well, okay. Let’s do that. I’ll make sure to stop Charon from killing you.”
… … It sounds like getting hit is inevitable, am I mistaken?
It was just as I was about to conclude my difficult conversation with Adonis.
“Huh? Someone’s coming.”
“yes?”
“Someone is coming this way. Maybe a student trying to secretly gather herbs in the mountains.”
Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine, and my hair started to prickle, just like Leger’s stupid hair.
This is not a skill.
‘Intuition.’
I had a gut feeling. I had a gut feeling that something huge was coming.
The trash can in my arms was screaming like that.
“Um… … I think it would be best to run away quickly.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Hehe, I have a strange feeling that Senior Rodelin might come… … Is this a strange intuition?”
Adonis’ gaze turned towards the collapsed wall.
A cold wind was blowing in through there.
“Well, it was my mistake. But isn’t that too much of an assumption? This place is quite far from the girls’ dormitory.”
Well, right? Maybe I overdid it?
It was a time when I was calming down the trash can in my arms.
“Well, I guess that kid is right.”
“yes?”
“I checked the mana. It’s the mana of the Lucid family. She’s the only child of the Lucid family currently at Annwood Academy.”
“Can you even know that?”
“Everyone has their own unique characteristics. If you listened carefully in class, you would know.”
Well, I know it in theory, but I don’t know it in practice.
Because I can’t feel ‘mana’.
“… … You don’t have any magical powers, so you’re impossible to track. But you don’t have even a single bit of mana in your skill. How strange.”
Adonis narrowed his eyes.
It was a look of half curiosity and half suspicion.
“I didn’t have the opportunity to learn. Because I lived such a difficult life… … I was misunderstood a lot during that process. Just like now.”
“Hmm, I see. Even I looked at you with suspicion… … It must have been a difficult life that I couldn’t even imagine.”
Adonis looked at me with compassionate eyes.
He said this while wiping away the tears that were not flowing.
“Right now, running away is more important than talking about that. If we get caught, we’ll share the responsibility, right?”
… … .
But there was no answer.
When I turned my head, Adonis was nowhere to be found. Only a single trace of electricity remained.
He ran away first.
‘… That kid?’
But there was no time to get angry.
A being that even the world’s Adonis fears.
Because Rodelin, the vice president of the student body and the academy’s dinosaur(?) position, was coming.
‘Let’s hide for now!’
After leaving the training ground, he threw himself into a large bush.
After about 30 seconds, Rodelin came up the hill, panting.
‘Hmm~ Rodelin is the type to sleep in her pajamas?’
He had come running so quickly that he was still in his pajamas.
I don’t know why I’m wearing an armband on my left arm.
‘As expected, our Delin is cute, right?’
In particular, the part engraved with EMPIRE ANNIVERSARY was cute.
These are pajamas produced to commemorate the birthday of the Empire.
I love the Empire even when I sleep!
It was a Rodelin-like action, dreaming of becoming a soldier.
‘I must keep this cute appearance forever.’
After taking out the camera, I started taking pictures of Rodelin entering the training ground.
A criminal act?
It’s the opposite. Cute is the right thing to do.
Yes, now I was in the process of realizing justice.
Because there was a hole in the wall of the training ground, Rodelin’s every move was visible.
He started looking around, turning his head here and there.
The ceiling split by [Tearing the Sky].
The floor of the training ground was shattered as [Ilseom] and Adonis stopped it.
[Adonis Ryu Counterattack] Even to the wall where the hole was made.
“Kuaaaahh …
Rodelin screamed and started to run around.
Well, there’s another dinosaur at the Academy.
‘Is this game any good?’
Even though it’s a game, it’s too much. Well, it’s cute, so it’s okay.
He put the camera away and left.
If you get caught.
Because it was obvious that I wouldn’t be able to even pick out the bones.
