Chapter 503 – Request

“…”

The atmosphere in the clubroom was frozen.

There was an awkward silence.

What on earth is going on?

Shouldn’t I run to Gabia right now?

“Kuhum!”

Veronica’s cough brought back my spirit that had briefly run away from home.

I looked around quickly.

The clubroom exudes a dark and gloomy atmosphere reminiscent of a mystery research club.

In some ways, it seems similar to the Chaos Room.

I think I know why Chaos joins and participates in this club without saying anything.

Even if it wasn’t about finding Helena, this clubroom had quite a few vibes that Chaos might like.

The female student, assumed to be Veronica, looked pretty, just as Chaos said. She was a pretty girl with a cat costume who seemed a bit stubborn.

The two pretty girls were carrying a lot of weight, but they just looked cute to me.

I saw a male student standing awkwardly next to the pretty girls.

The two girls made such a strong impression that I finally caught my eye.

He is a chubby-looking male student wearing horn-rimmed glasses.

He was watching us.

Especially when he looked at me, his expression was visibly anxious.

… It was no exaggeration to say that I was shaking.

He was a guy who looked as scared as he looked.

Is that guy also a member?

He was unusually lucky to be participating in club activities with two pretty girls.

“Mr. Bark, I heard from Miss Chaos that you are also looking for him.”

“Him? Ah, Helle…”

-Pa pot!

Veronica came in front of me with her lightning and covered my mouth.

(Shh! It’s dangerous to say that name here.)

Veronica looked sharply around her and whispered to me carefully.

“…?”

I spread out my senses and looked around, but there didn’t seem to be any people or devices in particular eavesdropping on our conversation.

“Nothing…”

“Shh!”

When I looked at Veronica’s eyes, I instinctively thought that she wouldn’t listen even if I told her the story.

“Mr. Bark, please follow me here.”

The bookshelf on the wall of the clubroom was pushed to the side, and another room appeared.

Veronica led me to her secret room.

Why is there a device like this in the clubroom?

Did it originally exist?

Or did Veronica install it?

Looking at Veronica’s attitude now, it seemed highly likely that it was the latter.

Although Veronica did not understand her actions, she decided to do whatever she wanted.
When you go to Rome, you have to follow Roman law.

A secret room painted silver.

The strange patterns engraved there had an occult atmosphere, but judging from the sense of magical power, it seemed to have a real effect.

Perhaps they installed something similar to soundproofing magic?

The atmosphere itself felt more like a living room than outside, and it was brighter here.

Secret room, picture frame decorating one wall.

The beautiful female demons inside caught my eye.

“… This?”

I had some idea who this was, but I still asked.

“This is Helena.”

Veronica’s expression seems somewhat proud as she confirms what I said.

‘… Is this Helena?’

Purity? Helena, who had an innocent-looking face, seemed a bit lacking in force to be considered the devil.

What’s unique about it is that, unlike other demons, it has pointed ears similar to elves?

The figure wearing the white robe looked more like her researcher than her demon lord.
Well… If you think about it, Demon King was a name given by Panthera.

“Mr. Bark, there is one thing I would like to ask.”

“What is it?”

“Why are you looking for Helena?”

“That’s…”

“If she’s just looking for interest, it would be better for her to stop now.”

Veronica puts on her serious face and warns me.

“What… Do you mean?”

“This is not something you should rush into with a light heart. It will be much more difficult than you think.”

“It… Seems like she’s on the run. It’s true that she’s having a hard time finding her.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about! It’s just a minor issue. Ha… This is a big deal. You really don’t seem to know anything. Why did you jump into this blindly? It’s frustrating. Mr. Bark, you don’t know how much danger your family is in. Do you know if you have been exposed to it?!”

“…”

For some reason, even though I was the instructor, I was getting scolded by the student.

“Whew… Looking at you, I’m worried. I wonder if it’s okay to drag a family member into such a dangerous thing.”

Veronica gave her anguished look.

“President Veronica, my father is already fully prepared to face great evil. You don’t have to worry too much.”

Chaos persuades Veronica.

I didn’t say anything, but the two of them were playing drums and janggu.

It’s hard to follow what’s going on.

“Is that so? Huh… I can’t help it. If you have that kind of determination… Mr. Bark, I will recognize you as the instructor for this mystery research club.”

“…”

Without Veronica admitting it or not, I had already been recognized by the Academy and became the instructor for the Mystery Research Club.

“There is a large, evil organization that controls this world behind the scenes. And that organization is controlling information about Helena.”

We also knew that there was a force controlling Helena’s information.

“Mr. Bark, you don’t seem to know how serious the situation is. You… No, your family may already be under surveillance by the organization.”

If our identity is revealed, and we are being targeted, I think it is impossible not to know.

“If possible, avoid directly talking about Helena to the outside world. It would be better to call her by her code name. How about code name White?”

“Chairman, isn’t blue better?”

This… Was severe.

Now, it is difficult to even cut a loss.

The information she has might be real.

“Mr. Bark, it may seem a little early, but I would like you to do your job as a guidance teacher right away.”

“… What’s going on?”

“We would like to conduct an on-site investigation. Please take us to Selby.”

Veronica was originally not interested in Helena.

Helena was originally the object of interest of Veronica’s mother, Ronia.

Ronia was in love with Helena.

She would research Helena and tell her stories about her to her daughter Veronica every day.
She was called Zephyria’s god of magic engineering.
The Great Demon Castle on Earth was also created by her.
Things like the creator of demons… Were all stories I heard from Ronia.

There were no passionate fans like that.

“I’m trying to go to Selby.”

Then one day, Ronia said she was going to Selby.

“Selby? Why are you there?”

“There is a story that Helena’s laboratory was located in that city. Would you like to go with us?”

Ronia is not going to have fun.

It was obvious that she would wander around here and there to investigate Helena, and it would be difficult to follow her.

It was quite tiring to go around and do research on Helena, who was not interested in Veronica, who was her housemate.

“I’m done. I’ll just play games at home.”

“Really? Don’t skip meals because you play games.”

“Okay, so don’t worry.”

Ronia went to Selvi to investigate Helena and returned a few days later.

And that evening.

“How is life at the academy? Do you ever get bullied or something like that?”

“It’s okay.”

“It seems like a strange group, don’t go in.”

“I told you not to worry.”

“…”

While having dinner with Ronia, Veronica felt a sense of discomfort.

This is because not a single word about Helena came out of Ronia’s mouth.

Normally, it would have been normal for her to go to Selby and talk to Veronica about what she found out.

“Mom, how did the Helena investigation go?”

In the end, Veronica brought up her story about Helena first.

“Helena? Hmm… Well? Why are you curious about that?”

“Why are you curious? Didn’t you go to Selvi to investigate Helena?”

“Helena? Did you…? Why did I do that? That’s strange.”

Veronica felt her heart sink at Ronia’s answer.
This is because no interest in Helena could be seen on her mother’s face.

Since that day.

Ronia, who always told Helena’s story with sparkling eyes, disappeared.

Other than that, Ronia’s appearance was no different from usual.

But… Seeing Ronia like that, Veronica felt an unknown emptiness.

This is because her mother, who had enjoyed talking about Helena, disappeared.

‘Who did this?’

Veronica felt angry.

Veronica began to take an interest in Helena, who had not been interested in her since then.
She carefully began her investigation about Helena. And she could see that Helena’s investigation was quite dangerous.

Ronia was naively unaware of it, and it was clear that something bad had happened to her while investigating Helena.

“You’re going to Selby?”

Ronia asked.

“Yes. Club activities.”

When she said it was part of the academy club activities, Ronia gave permission without saying anything.
Her appearance gave Veronica bitterness.

“Then, I’ll come back.”

“Veronica, don’t forget to buy a gift when you come~”

“Okay.”

Veronica left her house, leaving her mother to see her off.
