Episode 247. Invasion of Carpathia (3)
“I see. So if you are greedy, you will split like a shape… … How profound.”
Scarlett shivered as she imagined herself divided into pretty hexagons.
“Is there anything else?”
Other things. Of course, there was plenty of it.
The problem is that it’s beyond Scarlett’s capabilities.
‘It’s also difficult for other rats to find out that you’re picking up mysteries.’
One at a time, whenever the opportunity arises.
Excessive greed tends to bring about despair. The current pace was just right.
It was when I was quietly putting the rice ball that Scarlett had brought inside my body.
One thing came to mind. Something that Scarlett could do that would not arouse suspicion.
“Do you know about the training method that was recently started at Annwood Academy?”
“Cultivation method? Oh! Are you talking about those five strange movements?”
Even at the lowest level, a rat is a rat.
It seemed like he knew about the [Fleur Family] that I was spreading.
“Please spread this throughout the empire. I will leave it up to you to figure out how.”
“It’s not that difficult… … The problem is that it could spread to other countries. The influence of the Annwood Academy extends to other countries as well.”
“It doesn’t matter if it spreads to other countries. No, it’s even better.”
“That’s easy. But what does this mean?”
Scarlett pricked up her ears as if curious.
There was only one thing I could say to him.
“Haha, it’s a secret.”
“How lethal! Is this what happens between us?”
“Well, there’s no harm in following the movements. I’ll tell you that much.”
“Hmm… … Is that so? Okay, I’ll do it a hundred times starting today.”
Scarlett’s reaction was quite curious.
‘I guess other people will have similar reactions.’
A training method used by students at Annwood Academy.
If you just follow these movements, you too can be a student at Annwood Academy starting tomorrow!
The latest revised edition of Annewood Academy’s education! Appendix, Vice President Rodelin’s secret private life(?) is revealed.
Well, with a title like this, [the Fleur family] will wander around the continent.
I can’t reveal the name yet, but wouldn’t the Fleur family in heaven be satisfied with this much?
You feel bad because it looks like an illegal private tutoring flyer on the street?
Well, it’s none of my business.
It was when Scarlett was secretly adding another rice ball to her meal.
“Well, if I’m wrong… … please take care of my little sister.”
“yes?”
“Isn’t there a risk that my body will become a figure? If so, I should prepare for the eventuality. I don’t ask for much. Just cure my sister’s illness. She will take care of the rest.”
Why Scarlett follows my orders.
It’s to treat the ‘sculpture disease’ that my younger sister is suffering from.
It was decided to obtain the cure, the ‘Eternal Snowflake’, within a year.
So it wasn’t strange that he followed me.
But leaving my younger sister in his care was a completely different matter.
“… … Why do you trust me with your little brother? You don’t even know what kind of person I am.”
“I know enough. And… …you’re the only one I can lean on.”
Scarlett’s eyes became moist.
Not only is his expression an expression, but he also says things that could be misunderstood if heard.
If Yuridia had been here, it would have been a disaster.
“Zero-kun?”
“… … ?”
It was Yuridia. Judging from the fact that she was holding a rice ball in both hands, she seemed to be weighing it.
‘Why are you here?’
It’s a little embarrassing, but it’s okay. Unless you overheard our conversation…
Gulp-.
Soon blood flowed from Yuridia’s nose.
… … Yes, that’s right. You heard that? You heard that very clearly.
This is really ridiculous timing.
At this point, it’s manipulation. This is a fucking mess!
Yuridia threw the rice ball she was holding at me.
“Sob sob! How did Miss Luna come to like such a troublemaker? I feel so sorry for Miss Luna!”
No, I’m more pitiful.
Because of you, my ‘Hero of the Academy’ life has transformed into ‘Exciting Academy’!
The game genre has changed!
“But don’t worry. We at ‘Sa-eung-dong’ will do our best to support Luna-yang’s love!”
“… … .”
“I’m disappointed in Zero-kun. Cheating is absolutely forbidden in front of Luna-chan! If you do, watch. I’ll blow you away like the wind!”
With those words, Yuridia disappeared like the wind.
Was the farce funny? Scarlett giggled.
“What a funny kid. Are you his friend?”
Are you a friend?
It was a time when Yuridia and I were communicating through our eyes that we were enemies, or something more.
“Assemble! All students, assemble at the parade ground immediately!”
The instructor’s shouts could be heard from all directions.
It was a signal that 30 minutes had passed.
“… … It’s the beginning. Come back alive.”
“Haha, I’ll try. So you should try too.”
“A mystery? Don’t worry about that. I will definitely… … even if it costs me my life.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Scarlett tilted her head.
I whispered as I passed him by.
“Save your little sister yourself. Don’t rely on someone else’s help.”
“… … I see. I’ll try.”
“Of course, before that, you’ll have to survive a battle with thousands of rice ball legions.”
“Haha! I see!”
Scarlett tapped me on the shoulder and headed toward the kitchen.
It was only when I left the restaurant that I realized it.
ah.
Because of that guy, I lost all my time getting free rice balls.

Someone’s office.
A man was leaning on a chair, seemingly passed out.
“No… … Ah, no… … .”
Was he having a nightmare? The man writhed and writhed. Cold sweat was pouring down his body like rain.
“Huh!”
The man sat up in shock. His gaze turned to the picture frame nailed to the wall.
The appointment certificate of the Chancellor, with a large seal, directly awarded by His Majesty the Emperor. It was looking at him.
Yes. The identity of the man who had a nightmare while sitting on the chair.
It was Dwyer, the president of Annwood Academy.
“Oh, it was a dream. Then that’s right. A dispatch? Hahaha! That can’t happen!”
Dwenner was having a terrible dream.
An order from the emperor that arrived one day.
The content written was simple.
Erosion has begun in the Carpathian region, so send the Academy students to stop it, or something?
“That’s ridiculous. Sending in student soldiers. This isn’t some kind of war… … Hahaha!”
It was the most boring and creepy joke I’ve ever heard in my life.
Dwenner, who had been laughing heartily, suddenly turned his gaze to the desk.
Red paper wrapped around high-quality paper.
It was a beautiful piece of paper with golden threads embroidered here and there.
“… … ?”
It seems similar to the order I saw in my dream… … Could it be an illusion?
Dwenner unfolded the paper with trembling hands.
It was a dispatch order. Dwenner froze when he saw that it had the Emperor’s large seal on it.
“… … .”
Damn it-.
Dwenner passed out as if he was asleep.
This was already the fifth time I fainted.
Because we can’t accept reality, our brain continues to show a rejection reaction.
“Huh!”
Dwenner opened his eyes again.
Although he was an incompetent Dwyer, he had no choice but to accept reality at this point.
“Huh, why… why do accidents keep happening!”
A demon that has been living underground for decades suddenly awakens.
The high-ranking demons attacked the academy for the first time.
An evil force called the Four Heavenly Kings appears.
Until I received an order to be dispatched to the area where erosion had occurred.
“Why! Why does this have to happen when I’m the president! Aaaah!”
Dwenner seemed to be going crazy. No, he was going crazy.
Damn it-.
“… … President?”
“Huh!”
Dwenner woke up from a faint again.
Because I heard Charon’s voice, which was scarier than the devil.
“Oh no! Am I finally in hell? I lived a good life, so why… …!”
“… … If you mean a hellish situation, then that seems like a good metaphor.”
“Hell… … No? Did I fall into hell, or was I already in hell?”
“ha…….”
Caron let out a small sigh and began to report.
Arrangements for transportation, number of students, available troops, deployment map, and even the current situation in the Carpathians.
The report was finished in an instant. Now all that was left was to depart for the Carpathians.
But Caron still had one more task left.
“The president, please stay here.”
“Uh, yeah?”
“If something happens to the Academy, we need someone to deal with it. The president who is familiar with the Academy is the right person.”
“That, that’s right. The Academy is in the palm of my hand… … .”
Caron breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Dwenner has been showing extraordinary signs of late, he is a man with no connection to martial arts.
It means that taking it to the battlefield won’t be of any help.
‘To be honest, it’s a nuisance.’
Caron smiled with satisfaction without realizing it.
Dwenner looked at that sight and became lost in thought.
‘Wait… … Is this by any chance… … .’
Could this be a sophisticated strategy to oust himself from the presidency?
Dwenner let his imagination run wild.
What if you successfully defend Carpathia while you’re gone?
-You abandoned the students and stayed at the academy?
-How shameless. As shameless as an empty head~
-Huh~ Yeah. The president is a sloppy person.
-What good is being competent when your personality is trash?
– Step down! Trash chief, step down!
A shower of eggs pouring from the sky!
“Ugh! Ugh!”
Dwenner, who had been hit by an egg in his imagination, twisted his body this way and that.
“Mr. President? Are you okay?”
“Ah, it’s okay. Phew, that was a terrible experience.”
“… … ?”
Caron tilted his head. Dwenner glanced at Caron.
‘As expected of the imperial rat. Using such a fearsome strategy!’
Charon was the emperor’s sword and tool before he became a teacher.
Moreover, he is a man of the Marquis of Ashizu, who holds the emperor in check.
It could be that Charon is waiting for an opportunity to cut himself off.
It was a reasonable suspicion. Of course, Caron had no intention of doing so.
“Can’t I go too?”
“… … No.”
“Why! I’m the president! Then it’s right for me to go!”
“It is not easy to protect the academy.”
“but…….”
“Is it because of political issues? I don’t think about that. You know that fighting is taboo when the empire is in crisis.”
“Ugh… … .”
It was as Charon said. The Emperor, the Marquis of Asiz, and the other nobles.
In times of crisis, everyone cooperates.
It means not making inefficient choices to gain political advantage.
And this was one of the reasons why the empire became such a powerful force.
‘Ah… … Should I just not go? Even if Caron says something like that… … . Right. Even if I go, I won’t be able to fight properly. And there aren’t any students who like me… … .’
Normally, Dwyer would have given up on his claim and remained at Annwood Academy.
That was the original story, though.
“Hmm… … I guess I can’t help it. If you say it like that… … .”
At that moment, an image of someone laughing flashed through Dwyer’s head.
No, there was. There was a student who liked him.
Zero. There was that kid.
‘This idiot! Zero, who else would protect that weak child if not me!’
Dwenner clenched his fists.
“That is an excellent decision, worthy of a competent president. Then, I think you should stay here… … .”
“No, I’ll go.”
“……yes?”
“How can I, as the president, stay behind when students are risking their lives heading to the battlefield?”
“… … ???”
Dwynne, a descendant of the great Sagan family that fought against the 4th Legion Commander Balafar hundreds of years ago.
Declaration of participation in the Carpathian Defense Battle!
It was the moment when the hidden piece that Zero could not have imagined was activated.
