Chapter 499 – Episode 54. Daigo Succession War.
The monster was defeated and several translucent windows, including the level up window, appeared in front of my eyes, but I decided to check it later, and now I need to recover some of my stamina. He had used his physical strength, mental strength, and almost the abyss to the bottom and did not even have the presence of mind to check properly.
After sitting for a few minutes and feeling a little refreshed, I first approached Akina Konoe, who was bleeding from her eyes. She was the main character of the victory who gave a decisive opportunity with the Mystical Eyes, and the bleeding in her eyes seemed unusual.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine except that I can’t see.”
Akina Konoe calmly answers my questions. Isn’t it okay if you can’t see in front of your eyes? I cupped Akina Konoe’s cheek and looked into her eyes. Instead of Akina Konoe’s usual sparkling red eyes, her eyes were an empty, dull red color.
I don’t know if this is a temporary side effect or a permanent disability. I was very worried. It could be a serious situation, so we need to get treatment as quickly as possible.
“Sakagami, take Konoe to point A.”
The point A I mentioned was my house. It was our own password that we decided in advance with Rena Sakagami. Although most of the armor was destroyed, the helmet part remained, so my identity was not discovered yet, so rather than going with me, I asked Rena Sakagami to take me to my house.
There was a disciplinary committee that saw me, so I couldn’t hide the appearance of the Black Knight. However, it was obvious that if I moved with Akina Konoe myself, I would face a lot of trouble from the media and intelligence groups of each country, so I asked Sakagami.
Sakagami nodded her head at my words and took Akina Konoe with her and left the battlefield. When the two disappeared, I approached Rina Nakano.
“What happened here…”
“Are you asking me to keep it a secret?”
You’re quite perceptive. We have already seen Rina Nakano talking to Akina Konoe and Rena Sakagami, so if only Rina Nakano can keep her secret, she will have no one to leak the secret to. Kirie Kurayamada is currently unable to pay attention to this side due to her grief over losing her father, so if she can convince Rina Nakano well, her secret will be kept. Because of the Discipline Committee, the appearance of the Black Knight itself would be revealed, but it could not be helped.
“All right. “If it weren’t for you, there would have been a lot of damage to the academy, so I won’t tell anyone about this incident.”
Well, if the monster had continued to move because it was hungry, the nearest St. Francis Girls’ Academy would have been its target, so if it hadn’t been for my intervention, a huge disaster would have occurred. Nakano Rina also saw how the terrorists of Jin’s group were drained of their life force and dried up, so she must be grateful to me as Chairman Pongi.
After hearing his promise to keep it a secret, I approached the corpse of the fallen monster, the head of Jinildang. Kirie Kurayamada was standing next to the corpse.
“Father…”
Kirie Kura Yamada was standing blankly looking at her corpse. In the open area of her body’s solar plexus, there was a fist-sized jewel flashing an ominous red light. When she saw it, a translucent information window automatically appeared in front of her eyes.
◆Seed of Earthquake [Legendary + Elixir/Materials/Consumables/Seed]
A seed that can create an avatar of the sunken-root king who dwells underground. If refined well, it becomes an ingredient for an elixir.
It’s legendary plus level… It’s huge, right? Of course, there was an ominous explanation that it would become the avatar of an unknown god called the King of the Sinked One-Root, but since it was said that it could be used as an ingredient for an elixir if well refined, I thought it would be a good idea to get it first.
Perhaps the earthquake root that the head of Jinildang ate also had the effect of becoming the avatar of the King of the Drowned One – the King of Roots, and that’s probably why the head of Jinildang turned out to be such a monster. Since an avatar means an incarnation, the spirit of the owner of the physical body disappears under the pressure of the spirit of the godhead, and the body is used as a tool of the god, which is never a good effect.
There is also an elixir material item called Vampire’s Virgin Blood that I obtained from Yuka Otagi before, so I will take it and combine it later to make a good elixir. I picked up the Seed of Earthquake and approached Kirie Kurayamada.
“What are you going to do with the body?”
“Could you please take care of my toenails separately?”
Kirie Kurayamada answered my question. Kirie Kurayamada’s attitude exploded along with her heart, so she wouldn’t be able to cut off her toenails by herself. I created an abyss on the blade of my hand and cut off the root of the Jinildang leader’s long, sharp claws. Perhaps because the heart was destroyed, it was cut without any further resilience or recovery. Because it fought against my abyss-filled attack, it only had three claws that looked healthy, so I cut off the three that looked fine and took care of them.
“Thank you. Let’s talk later.”
Kirie Kurayamada passed by her shrine and disappeared, hugging her claws tightly as if holding something precious to her. Let’s talk later… Do you know my identity? I never called Kiri Kurayamada a Black Knight. I even changed my voice for fear of getting caught. She was physically present with me and was always with me at work, so I felt like she knew me emotionally.
Although she was very large, I was wondering if this unsightly corpse, with her chest blown out and even her claws missing, would be of any help to the Daughter of the Abyss, and although it was only for a while, I thought that it would be helpful since she was the avatar of a strange god.
He immediately sent it as an offering to the Daughter of the Abyss to erase any traces that the monster was ever here. The world is already in turmoil due to the appearance of superpowers, but if a monster like this appears, it will be even more chaotic, so I am cleaning it up in advance. Actually, the main reason is to receive compensation from the Daughter of the Abyss.
This time, like the last time he sent a tribute, the gift didn’t arrive right away, perhaps because he was trying to get Urabe Konoka to give him compensation. I can ask Urabe Konoka about the reward for the tribute later, but now I have to go home quickly.
“Okay then.”
I said hello to Rina Nakano, who was surprised by the sudden disappearance of the body, and then ran to get out of the forest.
After escaping from the forest and using shadow control to hide well, we arrived at the special unit building. Even after the armor was destroyed, I had to change my clothes because my clothes were tattered due to several monster attacks.
I had prepared exercise clothes to wear when using the fitness room in the training preparation room, so I changed into them and ran home again.
Even if I had shadow control and could move secretly, I could have been caught on CCTV wearing the Black Knight’s helmet, so I changed my clothes because I thought it would be better to move in my original form.
In the middle of my date with Akina Konoe, I rushed to the academy and had a long battle, so it was getting dark before I knew it. When I arrived home after running through the darkness, I saw Akina Konoe lying in the bedroom and Rena Sakagami sitting next to her with a worried expression.
“Are you a teacher?”
Akina Konoe asks me as I open the door and come in as if I’m still blind. She hoped it would be a temporary side effect, but seeing as she still can’t see it, it doesn’t seem to be the case.
I look at Rena Sakagami, and she shakes her head, confirming once again that I can’t see her. Her face looked as usual as if she had wiped the blood from her eyes while waiting for me. Except that her eyes feel empty.
“I’m going to go see Erica, sir. Please treat her archina well.”
“Yes, Oofuchi must have been very surprised, so please comfort him.”
Rena Sakagami bowed her head to me and left her room. She looks at Akina Konoe for a moment, so Akina Konoe opens her mouth.
“I know because I heard it from Lena. The teacher and him… “I heard that if you walk, your wounds will heal?”
Ah, Rena Sakagami told you in advance. I was thinking about how to say this out of my mouth, but she wisely said it in advance. Thank goodness.
“So today’s date ends the way I want? Lol…”
There is no anxiety about speaking without being able to see. If it were me, I would be very anxious if I couldn’t see in front of me. Do you really believe there will be a cure? I felt sorry for this because it was the first time since Yuka Otagi that anyone close to me was hurt this badly.
“What did Akina want?”
“Teacher, no, it’s connected with Ryuta.”
He’s been secretly provoking me sexually ever since I started doing yoga, so I thought he might be like that, but he says it so confidently. I stroked Akina Konoe’s hair. He couldn’t see, but when I suddenly touched him, he was startled, but then smiled.
“Ryuta, I like you.”
Akina Konoe turns her head towards me and speaks with her empty eyes.
“So please hug me.”
It was a voice filled with all kinds of emotions, including affection, thirst, anxiety, and hope. I hugged Akina Konoe tightly. Akina Konoe’s thin body felt even more pitiful.
After that, I started taking off Akina Konoe’s clothes one by one.
