Chapter 279 – Red Truth
Episode 279 – Red Truth
It is May.
After the kidnapping incident, the activities of the Dark Church were greatly reduced, and the Academy became peaceful.
“Did you hear the news? “There are a lot of disappearance cases these days!”
“Oh, that? I heard they only select pretty girls and kidnap them? From early to late 20s.”
“Who on earth could it be? “Isn’t he the rapist?”
“I don’t know. “I wonder if there are more possessors.”
However, humans are beings who turn their attention elsewhere when they have free time.
I suddenly suspected that I was the culprit of an unremarkable disappearance case.
‘Anyway, they are women of a certain age…’
It may just be a coincidence, but it bothers me that the missing people have something in common.
Since she is a beautiful woman in her early 20s who has played Deborah, Alyssa, Isis, and even Pernia and Scadia, there is no guarantee that she will not be a target.
Of course, with her considerable skills, she would have been arrested that day instead of being kidnapped.
Still, it’s not a bad idea to give some advice to be careful.
‘I need to find out personally.’
I’ve already cleared all the dungeons these days and Kenneth and Noah are joking around, so I think it would be good to use them here.
With such a brief thought, I passed them by and found a familiar face in the central garden.
“Sarah. What time do you have this weekend?”
“Time? There is still time. Why are you doing that?”
“Good for you. If it’s okay, why don’t you two go on a short trip? “I heard there is a festival in the southern county of Cantreville.”
The County of Cantreville is the territory where the most plants grow naturally in the empire.
The festival held there attracts people every year, especially couples.
“Two, two?”
“Yes. If it’s a burden, you can refuse.”
“Oh, no. It’s not burdensome… “No.”
“Then do you agree?”
“… Yes.”
Sarah blushed shyly and nodded.
Just by looking at their reaction, you can see how deeply their relationship has progressed.
‘I’m glad you look happy.’
I smiled bitterly and left the place.
Although I thought it was definitely a good thing, a strange sense of loss and discomfort arose in my heart.
When I realized that it was a kind of attachment and obsession, I became disillusioned with myself.
“Crazy bastard.”
I was so disgusted with myself for having so many women and even being greedy for Sarah.
Sarah’s heart had always been focused on Professor Verdan, but she couldn’t think of anything else just because she got involved.
To Sarah, I’m just a hateful rapist.
I sigh as I realize once again how greedy and conscienceless I am.
“Ha… Let’s calm down.”
I don’t want to waste time that I can’t even use for my people on things that have already left my hands.
Sarah just needs to be happy like this.
That was originally what I wanted, and it was the greatest apology I could offer her.
I shook off the distracting thoughts and hurried on my way.
*
After school, Deborah was walking down her hallway with her arms crossed.
Her head was facing the floor, but the reflection in her eyes was different.
That day, after finding out that Luan and Master had an affair, I kept my own control in check.
Such as intentionally engaging in skinship in plain sight, or even indirectly showing a relationship.
Fortunately, the teacher seemed to lose as if he had no intention of actively fighting.
Thanks to you, I was finally at ease…
“It’s suspicious.”
These days, Luan and Roxana often meet.
It also felt like the two of them were communicating personally, rather than through him.
Was lying really the problem?
‘The last time I went somewhere, the reaction was strange.’
While meeting with the Lord of the Yellow Magic Tower for a while, he played around with some magic tools and went out in clothes he didn’t normally wear to experiment.
And when I came back, it had changed strangely.
I can’t explain it clearly, but should I say that the atmosphere is a little stranger?
Anyway, from the next day onwards, Luan’s way of looking at her teacher changed a bit, and she seemed quite reluctant to touch him.
‘Could it be that you haven’t completely fallen for Master?’
When it comes to Luan’s priorities, he is moved to tears just thinking about being pushed out by his teacher.
It was already difficult these days with Isis joining, but the situation is getting even worse.
Of course, there are not only bad things.
The more precious people there are, the more Luan will become attached to this world, and the probability of breaking up will decrease.
Still, I can’t help but want to be first for the person I love.
‘Isn’t there a good plan?’
A way to capture Luan’s heart right away!
Just as she was shaking her head, Deborah suddenly felt her legs hit her.
“Ugh!”
Cuddatang!
Eventually she lost her balance and fell to the floor.
As I was rubbing her sore knees, I turned my head and noticed her stick out through her little slit.
I took it out and saw that it was a broom. It looks like someone took it out to clean it and shoved it in.
‘Who on earth would do this!’
Deborah, nervously picking at the broom again in frustration, was about to get up when she sensed something strange.
“Ah! The lens!”
Now that I see it, I fell, and the lens came off.
Although I’ve become quite accustomed to spying on the future, using my foresight is still scary.
Deborah found the lens right away.
And the moment she got the lens, a human figure appeared in front of her.
She reflexively raised her head.
“Oh! “Well, Professor Verdan?”
“You’re Deborah? “Are you hurt?”
“Oh, no! I’m looking for something for a moment. “You don’t have to worry.”
“So? “Did you find your item?”
“Yes! Here!”
When Deborah held out her lens, Verdan’s face, once full of gentle smiles, hardened.
He looked at Deborah in her shiny chair, adjusted her tie, and said,
“Thank goodness. Well then, I’m busy, so I’ll just leave. See you next time.”
“Ah yes! Goodbye!”
Deborah greeted Verdan politely.
And only after he disappeared and put on her lenses did I realize one thing.
“Uh? But why… “You couldn’t see it, right?”
She clearly looked into her eyes and couldn’t see Verdan’s future.
What this means is…
*
That evening, I received shocking news.
“Professor Verdan is a possessor?”
“Yes. I definitely saw Ye Jian, but I couldn’t see the future.”
“No way… Didn’t I see something wrong?”
“Really! As soon as he realized that my lenses had come off, his expression hardened, and he left, saying he had urgent work to do.”
“It means I know everything about you.”
“That’s right.”
I ended up touching my forehead.
‘How did this happen?’
To be honest, it’s not like Verdan didn’t have his doubts. He even put me in the list of candidates just in case.
However, when the Dark Church attacked during summer vacation, I completely gave up that thought after seeing the sacrifices made to protect Sarah.
In fact, it was natural that the game progressed in that way.
Above all, it is too great a price to say we had to endure in order to avoid being suspected.
However, if Verdan had a way to easily deceive the crisis, then it would not make sense.
There are just a few things that come to mind right now.
‘Fuck. Is it real?’
Are you really saying that Verdan is the possessor? So what happens to Sarah?
My head started to get complicated.
‘No. Let’s calm down.’
It hasn’t expanded to being a possessed person yet. It could just be that something urgent suddenly came up, and I was away.
The reason I can’t see the future is… Anything can be explained if you look for the reason.
For example, a person who should have already died came back to life due to my intervention and became an unobserved being?
It’s almost unreasonable, but it’s easier to think of it this way.
“Deborah. First, thank you for telling me. “For now, it would be better to take some time and look at it slowly.”
“What. I’m just saying what I saw. And don’t worry too much. Even a possessed person can be a good person. Like Luan.”
“I’m not particularly good-natured, am I?”
“There are circumstances to that! Anyway, rest assured.”
Deborah gently stroked my head.
Her nerves, which had become more sensitive to her gentle touch, calmed down.
‘Okay. There is no need to feel bad about it.’
Even if Verdan is truly possessed, there is no problem as long as he does not cause accidents.
Actually, even if you’re a criminal on Earth, you can live quietly here, right? I was immediately falsely accused, and Kenneth, Noah, and Pernia were at a level where we could coexist.
So, just because Verdan is a possessor, there is no way the worst will happen.
But it is true that we cannot be at ease.
At least there is a need to inform Sarah of Verdan’s identity.
The next day, I handed Sarah her semen potion and warned her.
“Professor Verdan is a possessor. Be careful.”
“What? What are you talking about out of nowhere?”
“That’s literally it. It’s called a possessor. So don’t let your guard down.”
As she spoke in detail again, Sarah’s face became distorted.
She put her semen potion into her arms with difficulty and clenched her fists.
“You… “What are we doing now?”
“Yes?”
“I’m starting to look happy, so you don’t want to see me? Do you want to bother me in some way?”
“No. That’s not it…”
“Then why are you saying such bullshit! A possessed person? So? Then did you think I would break up with Professor Verdan? “Did you think I would thank you and open my legs!”
Sarah shouted as if she were yelling.
That meant that this warning was terrible to her.
After overcoming countless pains, she finally found love and tried to climb the stairs of happiness, but it was like they were interfering with it.
The problem is that the target is a hateful person who destroyed everything about her.
Even if it was okay for anyone in the world to say it, I should never have said it.
‘I made a mistake.’
I should have asked Deborah.
But no matter how much she hated me, she couldn’t give up on this.
“You can say anything. But keep in mind. Professor Verdan is a possessor. You’d better be careful.”
“You until the end!”
“Then I’ll just go. Have a nice trip.”
I bowed my head and left the alley, leaving Sarah behind.
‘This is enough.’
Once you hear it, even if you want to ignore it, you have no choice but to be conscious of it, so you won’t suffer from Verdan in vain.
The best thing is that he truly loves Sarah.
‘I hope it’s rain.’
… A day passed, and on Saturday morning, Kenneth and Noah came to visit.
“What?”
“Did you go to the place where the disappearance occurred yesterday? But there I met Professor Verdan. “Did you happen to stop by nearby for a moment?”
“… Professor Verdan? Are you sure?”
“That’s right! We also had a conversation. Am I mistaken? “I’m sure!”
I was dazed for a moment.
At times like this, why does the saying that the criminal always appear at the scene again come to mind?
Why is Verdan there?
I wanted to think deeply, but unlike my head, my body moved instinctively.
“Damn it!”
I ran outside without listening to everything Kenneth said.
‘Please don’t be late!’
Sarah is in danger.
