Episode 178

A voice that seems to have added a bit of harshness to Ronan’s beautiful voice.

At first, Ray thought that Ronan had spoken rudely to him and was about to get angry, but he soon realized that it was not Ronan.

The owner of the voice introduced himself.

[Jea Este. Ronan Este’s older brother and the current head of the Este family.]

“Hoo… Jea. “How dare you talk to me?”

[There’s nothing you can’t hang. I am Ronan’s older brother.]

“Are you trying to act like a parent to the subject?”

[It’s not a role, it’s literal.]

There’s no way Ray’s magic circle was drawn on Zea, so she’s probably speaking to Ronan’s magic circle.

Ray became hostile towards JeA and his tone became aggressive.

Seeing Ray’s attitude, JeA sighed heavily as if she wanted him to listen, and then opened her mouth.

[Ray Vallière. If you were wise, you would have already reached it. No matter how angry you are, the only way to resolve the current situation in the shortest possible time is to receive my help.]

“her. How do I go about killing Adi? “That can be solved in the shortest amount of time.”

Ray was bluffing for no reason.

Then JeA’s voice became even harder.

[…] If you really think that way, I can’t leave Ronan in your care.]

“what?”

[It means you are not qualified to be a teacher.]

“Huh, what does this have to do with teacher qualifications? Is there a law prohibiting teachers from killing people? “Are teachers supposed to easily forgive even their enemies?”

[There is usually a law prohibiting anyone, including teachers, from killing people.]

“Don’t grab pods needlessly.”

Ray tried to end the conversation with JeA.

This is because I knew how to uselessly talk about justice and say that I was not qualified to be a teacher.

In the first place, such excuses don’t work for Ray.

It’s not like Ray didn’t kill someone before he took over as a teacher… … .

As I was about to cut off contact with JeA, JeA spoke.

[The reason you are not qualified to be a teacher is simple. This is because, as a teacher, you are not looking at one perfect student.]

“What dude? Are you saying I’m not fully looking at the student? What is that… … .”

[Isn’t that right? You are now looking at Ronan as a ‘member of the 12 families.’ Aren’t we looking at the student’s background, not the student?]

“… … !”

[joy. In this way, it is no different from teachers who favor nobles or teachers who discriminate against students based on their family circumstances. It looks like you don’t have the qualifications to be a teacher.]

Ray couldn’t answer at that moment.

Because there was nothing wrong with what JeA said.

The reasons for discrimination were different, but Ray did not trust the students from the 12 families.

As JeA said, Ray’s actions were not much different from those of discriminatory teachers and, by extension, Eshin.

“me… I am… … .”

[what? Do you have any excuses?]

“… Then you… Are you telling me to trust you? You guys… ! What did your previous generation do to me? … .”

[That’s it. Does that have something to do with Ronan?]

“what?”

[I’m being honest. I don’t know why you killed the mages eight years ago. And I have no intention of understanding him. You will too. The two of us will not understand each other and will walk parallel paths for the rest of our lives.]

“… … .”

[But Ronan is different. I don’t know why, but Ronan trusts you. In that case, as a parent, I have no choice but to help Ronan.]

“… … .”

[So there is no need to think hard. Since I am Ronan’s parent, I will purely help Ronan, and Ronan will help you. There is no malice or ulterior motive whatsoever. All you have to do is trust Ronan.]

JeA took a breath and opened her mouth again.

[Now, let me ask you. Ray Vallière. Do you trust your students?]

The moment I asked that question, what Ronan said earlier came to mind.

―When I teach you, is there a guarantee that you will not betray me?

-That can’t be possible. We saw it with our own eyes in the words of the person who pointed the knife at Ray… … .

After thinking deeply, Ray managed to open his dry lips.

“Hey Jea Este.”

[what?]

“This incident started with your 12 families, so I will not place any debt on your families. “I guess that’s okay, right?”

[Do whatever you want.]

“instead… “I guess I should put some debt on my student.”

[okay. That’s right.]

There is no such thing as favor without reason.

That’s what I thought.

And that fact is not wrong.

If that’s the case, Ronan and Flyne too.

Of course there must be a reason why they show me favor.

Normally, he would have doubted, worried, and guarded while trying to find the reason, but Ray decided to exclude that reason as much as he does now.

‘They’re just my students, so let’s believe it. I do not trust Ronan, the son of the 12th family. ‘I trust Ronan, the student.’

After making that decision, Ray stood up.

Then, I walked out of the dark, shadowy alley and headed toward the path illuminated by sunlight.

* * *

Ray arrives at the Este family mansion.

This is my second visit, as I came once last time when I left Lumiere there.

Of course, it was a dark evening then, but this time it was bright day.

Ray entered the Este family’s mansion while receiving glares from the servants and headed straight to the living room.

The living room had a table in the center and sofas on either side. Zea Este, Lumiere, and Ronan were sitting on one sofa.

“So, what do you do?”

“Didn’t I explain everything earlier?”

He was a handsome young man with blonde hair typical of the Este family, and unlike Ronan, who was chubby, he had a sturdy physique befitting the head of the family.

Ronan’s father, Vijan, had the same characteristic, but Zea also had quite dark circles under his eyes.

Ray, who entered the living room, once again asked Jea about her plan.

JeA sighed as if she was annoyed and explained it to him again.

“We will let the public know through the media that you are not the criminal.”

“I heard Blois has a tight grip on the media?”

“It’s just holding on tightly, but you can use your hands to pull it out to some extent.”

“… Are you going to fight with the Blois family?”

“As I said before, I have no intention of losing ground. “My job is not to let you know that you are not the culprit, but to find the real culprit.”

“Hoo… Right. So, in other words, rather than revealing that I am not the culprit, I will naturally remove myself as a suspect by revealing the real culprit… “That’s it.”

“If I do that, I won’t really be betraying the Blois family. At the same time, I can also grant Ronan’s request. “Isn’t it perfect?”

“It’s amazing.”

Ray snorted and sat down on the sofa opposite Jea.

“But, do you know the real culprit?”

“I don’t know.”

“Then how are you going to find out the real culprit?”

“I have to look for that first.”

“… … .”

Ray gave Jea a look of disbelief.

Upon receiving that look, JeA was embarrassed and stood up from her seat to make an excuse.

“hey! Don’t look at me like that! “If I had found out the culprit in just one day, I wouldn’t be doing this!”

“… “You useless child.”

“This bastard… … .”

JeA said, ‘If it wasn’t for my younger brother’s request… ‘ she muttered and sat down.

Ray glanced at Zea and Lumiere and Ronan next to him, then scratched his head and spoke.

“I know who the culprit who burned down Garion Mansion is.”

“yes?!”

“Who are you!?”

Lumiere and Ronan stood up at the same time.

Jea also looked surprised, although not to the same extent as the two students.

“Who is the culprit?”

“You wouldn’t know even if I told you that?”

“I will decide on that. If I don’t know, all I have to do is use my family’s power to find it. So who… … .”

“I’m a doctor.”

“… doctor?”

JeA tilts her head as if hearing this for the first time.

In that brief moment, looking at his reaction, Ray concluded that JeA had nothing to do with the doctor.

“that… party… A treating doctor? Why does that suddenly appear? Does this mean the criminal’s occupation is a doctor?”

“So I told you. Even if I tell you, you won’t know. I know who the real culprit is. So, all you have to do is publish an article about it.”

“hmm… I have no idea what you’re talking about… … .”

“Oh right. Ter… So Ter, Garion’s son, will also testify. “Get help if you need it to write your article.”

“yes? Ter will help you, Ray? No way!”

“I thought so too, but Flyne used some strength.”

“That guy… … .”

Lumiere pouted when he heard that Pline helped Ray.

While Lumiere was reacting, Ray handed over the documents he had received from Beninian to Zea.

“This?”

“Evidence received from Beninian. Write this in the article too.”

“Hmm… Even the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is helping you… … .”

JeA receives the evidence.

After checking the evidence, he opened his mouth and said that he had a question.

“I ask one more thing. “This is my personal question.”

“What?”

“Where were you and what were you doing during the Garion Mansion arson incident?”

“Don’t you understand?”

“How do I know?”

“really? hmm… “Think about what happened after the Garion Mansion burned down.”

“After the mansion burned down… Aaron, the head of the Bartia family, has passed away… huh? no way… … .”

“I won’t say I didn’t know.”

“… “Are you serious?”

“I’m serious.”

“… “I don’t know why I need to help you again.”

“haha. “If you pull out now, I don’t know how I’ll kill you.”

JeA was worried.

That’s because Ray’s words just now were no different from confessing to killing Aaron.

In other words, although he was not the culprit who burned down the Garion Mansion, he was committing further crimes.

The two students were tilting their heads as if they did not understand the situation.

“Ugh… “I can’t use this in an article.”

“Then please take care of me.”

When Ray finished talking with Zea and stood up, Ronan followed him and said.

“Ray, where are you going? “Wouldn’t it be safer if we just stayed in our mansion?”

“No thanks. If unnecessary rumors spread, it would be bad for your family. “If you want to help me, help your brother and finish the article quickly.”

“… yes.”

Ray left the living room, leaving Ronan’s worried look behind him.

‘Now that I think about it, why should I worry about the Este family?’

It was Ray who was muttering.
