2nd Round Villain

120 – Academy nights are long – 2

When I was left alone with Maria in the library, we started talking about what we had accumulated over the past 18 years. Originally, it was possible to communicate through the rosary for even 20 minutes a day, but even that was impossible after Mary was born.

Cut-.

“Holy Lady, can you see this? The saintess gave it to me.”

“You’ve managed to keep it all this time.”

Maria puts on an expression of emotion. I waved my cross proudly.

“Shall I give it back? Now this doesn’t mean anything Although it can be used to burn monsters.”

“No, I have another rosary in this lifetime. Please believe that it is the thread that connects me and Joker-sama’s previous life, and take it.”

“Sorry. It was a lot of fun communicating with the saintess.”

“I’m sorry too, but wouldn’t it be possible to solve the problem face-to-face?”

Maria leaned sideways on my shoulder. I moved my hand and wrapped it around her side. Her slender waist was held in one arm.

“You’re a demon of your own, but are you allowing your side so easily?”

“If enduring 500 years was easy, no man in the world would ever touch a woman.”

“Still, pinching makes me gain weight. In Tartarus, he was so skinny that he looked like a living corpse.”

“Was that enough? I didn’t have eyes at the time, so I couldn’t examine my body.”

“Yes, it’s not just empty words, but the boat’s skin was clinging to your back? It was said that the skin and bones were very ugly.”

As if teasing, Maria responded with a smile.

“The words of someone who went into heat and went through a wet dream with such an ugly woman is unreliable.”

“… .”

No matter what you say, you can’t beat Maria. I was reminded of that funny truth again.

“Your hands are very dirty, this rosary.”

Maria is curiously rubbing the rosary that I handed over.

“How many times have you touched it?”

“I don’t know, and I haven’t touched that much. It’s just that it’s been a long time.”

“Are you too polished for that? As if someone had cleaned it up well until recently.”

“Ghm, do you really have to go to such an embarrassing place?”

“Joker has a cute side to him.”

Maria is the first person to say I’m cute. Suddenly, a question came to my mind and I asked.

“How does the saintess look at me?”

“yes?”

“Just curious. How I see myself in the eyes of the saintess.”

Maria looked carefully at my appearance and said,

“Wouldn’t it be important to have an appearance that will wither someday? What is important is the inside, that is, the human heart.”

“If someone else had said it, I would have snorted, but since the blind saintess said it, I can’t catch the pod. let me know though I want to hear it. How do I see myself in the eyes of the saintess?”

You can ask if you can see yourself in the other person’s eyes, but unfortunately, Maria’s eyes are white, so something is not reflected.

“… It’s just as expected. Cunning, savage, insidious, but… If you look closely, he is naive, playful, and good-natured.”

“You see what you really want to see. Those who knew the Joker from the previous life would be horrified to hear that? The amount of radiation after seeing the Demon King’s North Duke.”

“The affairs of the previous life must be buried in the previous life and come out. However, after reading the text I left during the day, I heard that there is a Sangvis teacher named Beatrice at the academy. Is that the person I know?”

“Oh, Beatrice? That’s right. That paladin I picked up 400 years ago.”

“I heard that there is a beastman named Aru. Is he the King of Lang?”

“Yeah, I brought her as my roommate.”

After answering that far, Maria slightly darkened her face. Her white eyebrows twitch displeasedly.

“The national power level has gathered at only one academy.”

“Later, there will be big events like the descent of the demonic pupil. preparing for that time Of course, I will protect Maria, but you never know, right?”

“All good. everything is good… Why are you roommates? With Lang Wang?”

Jealousy wells up in Maria’s benevolent eyes. I laughed out loud and stroked her hair playfully.

“Ahahahahaha! did that take? What is the one room with Langwang?”

“Oh… Although Lang Wang is a beast, she is a woman. Is it right for the person who promised me love to sleep with an extraneous woman?”

“Who is sleeping? You’re at the library to meet the saintess right now.”

“You’re not going to be here every night, are you? No matter how strong Joker is, as long as he is his life, he will eventually have to sleep… .”

Maria doesn’t know that I haven’t slept a single time over the past 18 years evolving the meta into a goblin god. So that’s what I’m talking about.

I don’t have the heart to make it a secret to Maria, but making a god is a great disrespect. No matter how much she loves me, Maria, who serves the main god, will not tolerate it.

“Why do you think you have to sleep only in dorms?”

“yes?”

There are several avenues to answer. It is the lover’s duty to give an answer that will please Mary the most.

“You can come here every day and sleep. with the lady. No one will know anyway.”

“That, like that… ! oops… .”

“Why, don’t you like it? Don’t you like me?”

Like a man skilled with women, he grasped Maria’s chin with his thumb and forefinger. Then, he slowly pushed his face forward.

“… Still, staying in one room with King Lang is… .”

Maria avoided my gaze and babbled in displeasure. Doesn’t work either If that’s the case, most women go crazy. Maria’s jealousy must have been stronger than my fascination.

“I can’t help it. Aru can only be controlled by me.”

After standing up for a moment, I put my butt back on the chair.

“Maybe it’s because he grew up in Masurim, so he has no social skills. Hey, in my previous life, let alone the academy, he was the strongest assassin, so there’s no way that’s the case.”

“If you don’t have social skills, how much is there… .”

“In today’s class assignment test, some people were almost crippled if they didn’t receive divine power treatment. Like cutting a tendon in half, or turning the whole body skin like peeling an apple.”

“… .”

“While I was having a sparring with Maria and the teacher during the day, these are the things that happened at the other gym. Because of that, in just one day, Aru became a hot topic receiving attention from students. I still have the title of being the first dog in the academy. Is it right that I am not by your side?”

Even if the accumulated jealousy is a bit extreme, Maria is a reasonable person. If it is judged by reason, not emotion, she will make a reasonable decision.

“Whoa… Having said that, I can’t hold on to it. Still, I can’t help but feel stuffy in my heart in this town.”

“stuffy? why?”

“I am also a woman. Women have a woman’s intuition. Even if Joker-sama has no negative feelings towards King Lang, the affection he has lived through is not light.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Even King Lang isn’t Joker-sama’s friend who has been with him the longest. much longer than me… As many as 500 years… .”

Whoops, having heard that far, I couldn’t stand it and spilled arsenic. The rare Maria’s complaint was unbearably funny.

Do you think you are jealous of mutts? Looking at the extremely ‘master-servant’ relationship between me and Aru, I wouldn’t even think of that.

“Why, why are you laughing… ! I’m so serious… !”

“I guess… In order to resolve the overflowing old woman’s heart, we must give her some faith.”

“You give me faith? how?”

“like this.”

side-.

Like a waterspout attacking by surprise, he secretly stuck out his head and kissed Maria’s cheek. A blush settled down on Maria’s white face, and her expression turned red like lipstick.

“The saintess is the first time I kissed a woman on the cheek. Both the last episode and this one.”

“Huh… nice But it went by so fast. I didn’t even have time to feel right.”

“Once more?”

“… Once more.”

side-.

The saintess’ cheeks were as sweet as sugar. How do you know? When I kissed you on the cheek, I opened my lips slightly and stuck out my tongue. It’s because I’m a bit of a badass. For some reason, he wanted to follow the male’s instinct and mark his territory.

“This is a kiss.”

“Don’t get me wrong. It’s hard to even call it a kiss, because it was just a kiss.”

“It was the skinship of a lifetime for me. Do you know?”

“Kuhkuh, then I’ll have to tell you better in the future.”

Whispering skillfully in her ear, Maria smiled brightly. Fortunately, it seems to have succeeded in diverting Maria’s attention from Aru.

“Ummm, anyway, tell me more about the placement test. During the day, I locked the message that I was assigned to class A. How was it exactly?”

“It’s just literal. Even if it’s a young saintess, the saintess is a saintess. You’ve already blocked all of Beatrice’s attacks while using the shield of the sun? If you had even attacked, you might have been assigned to the S class?”

I spit out the words with a little exaggeration. As if she didn’t hate the idea of giving herself up, Maria smiled softly.

“How about Joker?”

“me? I just did it with a magic wand. Just like the saintess, I was evaluated for my sparring with Beatrice. First of all, I didn’t know the devil’s intentions, so I played an active role without being noticed.”

“During the day, I left a lot of compliments and favorable comments about a person called ‘Evans’, and those reviews were quite similar to the Joker I know. ”

“Evans is me. Evans Grant. My status as a human being provided by Beatrice.”

“As expected. That’s a great name.”

Evans is a cool name? Hmm, neat and gentlemanly, but not a fancy name. Still, Maria says she likes it, so I like it too.

“How have you been, warrior? Did he take the exam with us?”

“Warrior? Frey is he? I don’t know, I’m not particularly interested in kids who don’t care. But does the saintess still use the word ‘nim’ after being betrayed by the hero? Nothing has changed from my previous life.”

“… The work of the past life is the work of the past life. And everyone makes mistakes. Should I, who even embraced Joker-sama, leave him alone?”

“Saying that, I have nothing to say. The warrior… I was only eavesdropping on it, but it seems like they won first place on their own. like a previous life. I didn’t know that even Aru would win, but they said that Aru withdrew on his own. Anyway, there’s no way that pathetic girl can beat Lang Wang.”

I said it without thinking, but Maria’s expression is quite serious. I shrugged and continued.

“But I don’t know for sure. The teacher in charge was Beatrice, who was mine on our side, but the teacher in charge there was a teacher I didn’t know at all. He was a mysterious teacher who restrained his prayers to the fullest.”

“If you tell me what he looks like, I can carefully guess who he is.”

“Oh, is that so? Let’s see… He was rather slender, and mostly had his hands behind his back. Oh, I also remember that I had narrow eyes. How about this, can you guess? Should I say more?”

“… ?”

Maria has a suspicious look on her face. what is it, why are you like that

“When I was in the academy… There wasn’t a single teacher with narrow eyes, right?”

“… uh?”

“Are you not looking at it wrong? As far as I can remember, there was no teacher who was blind.”

“No, obviously the teacher was narrow-eyed. So, when referring to it, I called it ‘Snint-Nun Teacher’.”

“Is it a variable born from the butterfly effect?”

“… Write, maybe he’s the demon lord’s henchman… Tsk, I’ll have to look into it. From origin to background, history, everything.”

Even if I don’t believe in other people’s memories, I believe in Maria, who is the best on the continent in terms of wisdom.

It’s fine if it’s really from the butterfly effect, but if it’s not, there’s nothing wrong with investigating it.

*****

Eden Academy’s dormitory.

Frey de Siegfried, who had won a private room with the authority of the ‘Hero’, was actively playing with a pen on the notebook where she wrote down things to remember or pay attention to.

“List of variables… The appearance of a dog named Arura and… .”

Fumbling about the various things that happened during the day.

“The Evans that Aru mentioned… I have to ask the back alley to find out who it is… also… Beatrice, a teacher who suddenly appeared 18 years ago and rose to the ranks of the strongest in the academy… .”

As she was writing down the subject of investigation in her notebook, her fingers stopped at a certain point. it reminds me of a man

“and… That narrow-eyed student. Why do so many people who didn’t exist in the previous life appear… Maybe it’s all in one piece… .”

The regressor had many thoughts.

*****

Late at night at Eden Academy, a time when lovers have a heartfelt tryst in the library, a regressor is struggling in a solitary cell, and ordinary students are dreaming of thrilling dreams.

A man was sitting in the window of the student dormitory, bathing in the blue moonlight.

In the man’s hand was an open, half-empty bottle of whiskey.

Ssss-.

Outside the window, dark energy gathered in the sky of the academy. It was a phenomenon that anyone watching would have been in awe right away, but the only witness, the narrow-eyed man, remained calm.

round shape-.

The narrow-eyed man passed the whiskey down his throat and opened his mouth.

“came? I was waiting for you.”

In response, the energy that had gathered in the air transformed into a human form.

“It’s not like you to say respectful words that don’t suit you.”

“It’s been several years since I’ve been involved in the gyoza game, so I have to act like a gyoza no matter who sees it. It’s a trend these days for teachers to show respect to their students because of the lack of teaching authority, right?”

“The guy who made even the archangels of the world tremble was treated with respect by mere humans. When they hear it, they will not be able to contain their lamentations.”

Two black wings hung from the figure’s back. In addition, the red horn rising above his head and the inverted cross in his hand showed that he was not human.

“No way, Lucifer should do it for you. About 400 years ago, the person who enjoyed amusement even disguised as a Holy Knight of the Holy Kingdom.”

“Kick, it was because of the toy I was playing with back then. Do you know me too? Because it’s the same co-worker. Beatrice Constantino, I mean.”

“You should at least have a chance to talk to that reticent person.”

The narrow-eyed man did not tremble in fear even when he saw that alien appearance. Rather, he smiled as if it was nothing to be surprised at.

“How was the demon I was talking about? You hinted to me that you would be able to recognize him right away because you had King Lang by your side.”

“I hide my strength, but I can feel it just by standing in front of you. Are you a descendant of yours? If it’s properly attached, it’s probably similar to me, but I didn’t know that such a monster would come out among your descendants.”

“I was surprised too. I hope that Uriel… no, this is done By any chance, don’t reveal his identity to him. In an old game, descendants, saints, warriors, great sages, King Rang, and even the great devil, who is considered the chief among demons along with Beelphegor, are all in one academy. It’s rare to find a game that’s as fun as this one. is not it?”

The red eyes in the narrowed eyes shone secretly in the darkness of the night. The great devil, Lucifer, looked over at the devil sitting on the window sill with an arrogant gaze.

“Satan.”
