Chapter 601 – The Tea Party
A day has passed since the riot broke out at Pryunar Academy.
Right now, the academy is in the middle of restoration work.
The building was easily and easily repaired, but the remaining Ryunar, magic, and spells in the academy were quite dangerous, so it seemed that the academic staff were having a hard time.
Ordinary students don’t have a clear memory of that day, but they know that they did something wrong, so they’ve been helping with the repairs… The young ladies of teenage families are said to be providing manpower and financial support as much as they can.
Fanatics are also said to be helping with the restoration work.
Really. No matter how much I thought about it, it was a godsend that Lena and Almiraz remained in the Heart family.
Well, since Lena thinks that she is more like her family’s crush rather than a rational crush, she probably wouldn’t go berserk…
[Miss Lena doesn’t come, she’s really fortunate…!]
[I think so too.]
[If the great spirits appeared from the sky, no matter how much the academy was… Whoa…!]
Do they know Lena as a God of Destruction?
FYI, I’m not at the academy right now.
I was alone with Leo, the head of Grise, at a luxurious restaurant.
It is because there are many things to hear.
After a while, I sipped my coffee, thinking about what I had to do in the afternoon, and Leo looked down at the paperwork and opened his mouth.
“Nova’s movements are strange.”
“Again?”
He is also very tenacious.
I thought he was trembling because he was even confiscated by me…
“Of course, I don’t dare to openly attack you, but you seem to be thinking about something else.”
“Specifically what…?”
“We are gathering the opinions of members of teenage families who have doubts about your successor qualifications, and we are inviting exceptional wizards and shamans.”
“Powwow…?”
Leor nodded his head.
“Probably, to prevent the phenomenon that took all powers from you.”
“…”
“If you can block that, you’ll think it’s worth trying. Of course, I’m not going to fight, but it’s a minimum preparation.”
“Is that so.”
Well, that much is understandable.
It would have been an unpleasant experience even for me, so I can look at it cutely just to prepare for it.
But seeing how Leo dared to say it and how cautious he was… That’s not all.
I stared at him as if to say something, and Leo said in a calm tone.
“This is just Nova’s idea.”
“Thought.”
“Yes. Not put into action, just a thought.”
“…”
“He’s prepared for any unforeseen situation, Miss Lena or Miss Raj. People who are similar to him…”
“Okay. I see.”
No need to hear more
“..Excuse me, but if you kill him…”
“I don’t think so.”
He is Clair’s father.
I don’t want to see her cry.
I’ll forgive you if you didn’t put it into action, if you stopped just thinking about it.
But.
Now that I’ve had a disgusting thought, I think it’s okay if I do nasty things to him once in a while.
“…To add to the old woman’s heart, I really just thought about it. It seems that Nova was so afraid of you and the successor that she did it because she thought that she might be harmed at any time.”
“Leor, I understand.”
“…”
Leo swallowed and said he was sorry.
I keep forgetting, but I’m not close with this bastard.
I still distinctly remember trying to fuck me up and kill me.
I only had a business relationship because of L.
“I’d like to add to my old-heartedness, you remember that it’s okay if I do something wrong to you once, right?”
“Of course.”
What a shameless answer.
It’s good that you still remember the promise.
“Please continue.”
“Yes, next is the situation in the Pandemonium. It’s something that even a hero would know as well as I do, but recently news of the return of Yuna, who is said to be a legendary demon, is already hot in the Pandemonium.”
“Hmm…”
“But there’s also news that she’s an idol or something, so there’s an atmosphere of excitement.”
“…”
You are preparing to become an idol steadily. Yuna.
“Aside from that, the notable news is that the ranking of the Demon King of True Purgatory will change soon.”
“Ranking.”
Demon lords have a ranking order.
It’s not that it’s serious, it’s just that it’s displayed as an influence…
“It is said that there are newly recruited people in Jin Purgatory. They say there are two… One must be Yuna.”
Leodo knows that Yuna really resurrected and went to the Demon World.
Then what about the rest?
“He is a very warlike Demon Lord known as the Demon Lord of Battle. It seems that he is planning to take the place of Lis, the Demon Lord of Color Dreams you killed.”
“Hoo.”
“And Twiga, the Demon Lord of Distortion… No. I’m not sure about this, so I’ll stop.”
It’s embarrassing not to talk.
“Other than that, there are no special agendas in the Demon Realm.”
“Is that so…”
I thought for a bit before opening my mouth.
“Leor.”
“Yes.”
Why did you destroy Brave?”
“…”
It must be distasteful, but judging from how he doesn’t show it, a big man is a big man.
He pondered a little, then replied.
“Because, as I said before, they were trying to start a war they were not prepared for.”
“Is that really all?”
“You feel really good…”
Leo let out a sigh.
“Further information is forcibly restricted.”
“Are you the owner?”
“Yes. I, the head of the household, also have many restrictions. We… Found out about something that Brave had been hiding and took the opportunity to destroy it… I can only say this much now.”
“Are there any survivors?”
He stared at Leo.
If it’s false, you can tell at least roughly.
“The Braves were mighty and valiant. Everyone lost their lives in battle. They all committed suicide, even if they wanted to be left behind.”
“Um…”
“It’s just my brief insight, but it doesn’t seem like what you want to ask about Brave?”
Quick-witted kid.
But I can’t ask you this.
If you ask, this bastard will dig into that part, and may find out some suspicions that are currently only my suspicions.
“You don’t have to answer. I’m your subordinate.”
“Thank you for knowing the subject.”
He smirked openly, but Leo didn’t even sigh.
I got pissed off and clicked my tongue.
“El, please do something.”
“…”
“Why do you keep coming at night and harassing people?”
“That’s… We’ll find a way soon.”
Leo also had a painful look.
“Even if my wife doesn’t step out, that child… Whoa. I think I’m going crazy too.”
It was sincere.
Her concern for her daughter was read and she did not hesitate to ask further questions.
I wonder if I just remembered Leo, who sighed. He made a sound.
“Come to think of it, flat looser.”
“Why flat?”
“I thought I was feeling better these days, but since yesterday it seems like I’ve been depressed.”
“…”
If it was yesterday, it would be after that great upheaval.
I can guess why. It was because El, who was not in his right mind, treated Flat too carelessly.
“…Please take good care of him.”
“Yes. I also take care of my daughter.”
A dog don’t say a word
I took a sip of the drink in front of me.
Leo also took a sip of tea with the same graceful movements that he had grown accustomed to.
Click.
The sound of tea cups being placed on the table is exceptionally loud.
Leor opened his mouth while looking at the interior of the quiet cafe.
“So, why did you bother to visit me today?”
“…Just. I want to hear this and that.”
“You even asked the principal to ask for permission to meet me?
He seemed to want to read my intentions.
It’s just my opinion, but I guessed that maybe I had a huge intention.
[There is no such thing.]
[Right. I just ran away because I was embarrassed to see Mayal’s face…]
See the inner world!
But there was no disgrace.
The bitch runs away, puffing on a smoking pipe, and only Malachia laughs.
In a fit of rage, I hit Malachia on the arm, and I said “Ouch…” And sighed at her.
With this huge and majestic figure, there is a gap…
Shuuk.
Back to reality
…Okay.
I ran away
What. Why. What.
What can I do though?
After doing such a thing, there was no way I could see Mayal’s face the very next day.
Ah. I care.
Did May Yal act like that under the control of her authority?
But isn’t it premised on a rational liking? Then… Do you like me…One?
Of course, if I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t have done this or that until now…
Anyway, I needed time to organize my thoughts, and I wasn’t the principal to take care of my dings, asking for time.
Since you’re sorry for me, you might just back off if I act coercively, but I didn’t like that, so I just mentioned Gryze’s name.
However, it seemed that Leo still had some intentions with me.
Bother you
I decided to tell you something about something I’ve heard lately.
See… What was it
Ah.
“Do you know that it is a super giant?”
“Super giant…?”
Grise, whose intelligence is fraudulent, is also a name I have never heard of.
I just didn’t know.
It was because the first Hest, whom I stumbled upon when Yuna, a legendary demon who had lived for 10,000 years, was telling us old stories, was in progress.
Hest’s successor, Laldud, probably didn’t even know what it was.
Blizzard had a huge secret called Blnar.
I can’t guarantee that Hest won’t have that kind of power.
We don’t know what a portrait giant is, whether it still has that name, or whether it even started a project.
But a smart guy like Leo might dig in and come up with a result if you say a meaningful word.
Give him a sense of satisfaction and get information you might not know.
When I deliberately sent a provocative look, Leo smiled.
“…I see. I see. It’s fun.”
What do you know
However, while talking about it, it is necessary to gradually reorganize the teenage family.
Yagem made by a bastard is important for the future, but the real important thing is to draw out the power of the teenage family, the successor of Prunar.
Looking at the quests that have been done so far, the teenage family management system is probably not there for nothing.
There will definitely be something to use in the future.
Coincidentally, Boyd and Whikatsu also told them to come find them, so let’s go find Boyd first.
…Good. Let’s use this as an excuse to give us a little more time to think…
[Ugh, idiot.]
Will you fall behind…?
[Kid. Why don’t you admit it now?]
…
[Quack. If you postpone it, it will be fun as long as you postpone it. Haven’t the people who have a crush on you been pretty much weeded out because of this incident? I’m sorry. Mullin. Flaon… I wonder how synergy will be created.]
Aren’t all three of them not interested in me?
But the disgrace was only a giggle.
I want to turn that giggle into a moan of pain.
“Come to think of it, I heard that Euclid told you to come find me.”
“It was.”
When I was suffering from the aftermath of the battle with Yuna, he came and told me to come and tell me what I was curious about.
“Beware of that man.”
Leo said really seriously, not responding.
Are you a bit surprised?
“Leor, you’re wary of everyone, but I feel like you’re especially wary of him.”
“I won’t deny it. He’s… Dangerous.”
Dangerous?
“It has an unknown potential. Also, while we know what we don’t know, we are preparing something without expressing it.”
“…”
“His unique Ryunar is very powerful. Also, unlike Hest.
It’s scary not to know what kind of power it hides… I don’t think it’s the same logic.
I asked with my eyes if there was any reason to be vigilant.
“Even Gryze’s intelligence of light and darkness was not able to uncover his secrets. Also, his attitude of being relaxed at any time… I assure you, he is aiming for a huge blow.”
“A huge room…”
So, do you have any circumstantial evidence?
But Leo continued to speak with a serious face.
“He’s a sinister figure. If he invited you, he must have important intentions. Heir. Be careful.”
…Umm.
I twisted my head and decided to ask directly.
“Are you that dangerous?”
“I think so, but…”
Even for the same head of household, this kind of evaluation is rare, and Leo’s fear is obviously great.
But i…
“You seemed like a nice person…?”
“…Your eyes are sometimes wrong.”
This kid?
“Or are you saying you’re the same type? They seem to have similarities in hiding their potential.”
What else are you limiting me to?
Hi and annoying
I just nodded to be careful.
After that, we ate a cake recommended by Leo.
Is it delicious…?
There are a few shops he recommends, and I thought I’d check them out sometime.
I decided to go to Boyd tomorrow, saying that the ox horn was also sweet.
First of all, I’ll take care of Madora’s business and leave right away.
When I tipped off to Gold, he made a serious face.
“Going to Boyd? Big brother… Are you going to be alone in that dangerous place? Where is that dangerous man?”
He seems to regard Euclid as dangerous.
Is it that dangerous…?
No, it seems strong, but…
“What do you mean?!”
Gold and I turned our heads at the piercing voice.
There is a girl with bun hair.
What to hide It was Gold’s half-brother Charles.
She struggled towards me, then recoiled from Gold’s stern gaze.
And I said
“What are you talking about. Are you going to Boyd’s estate in the Magic Stone Forest?”
“What do you mean by that?!”
Charles couldn’t hold back his excitement and screamed loudly.
It’s very noisy.
“You! What about a tea party! A tea party!”
“…Ah.”
I had really forgotten about that.
