2nd Round Villain

167 – An Unsolved Unsolved Case – 3

Scarier than ghosts are unsolved cases. The students were seized with shock and horror.

The police concluded that it was an outsider’s work because no one was caught on the academy’s surveillance cameras and there were no air guns. However, students thought differently.

Isn’t it possible that the culprit is hiding among them? The greatest fear comes from the unknown. The students trembled with indescribable emotions.

There were also rumors that ghosts lived in the academy. Merlin, the great wizard who searched Veronica’s corpse for energy, testified that it was ‘not human energy.’

The academy is a safe facility, but it’s not a place where people don’t die. Fighting with a real sword can be accompanied by an accident. Occasionally, even in the midterm evaluation, external hunting tests, human casualties did not occur.

The students chattered that a ghost who had died unjustly wandered around the academy every night, and that the ghost would brutally eat the soul after calling a person’s name three times. The teachers denounced the students, saying it was nothing but crazy, but deep down in their hearts, they too were secretly afraid of the existence of ghosts.

But anyway, an academy is an academy.

The Empire’s education system is not going well enough to be swayed by mere superstition.

The academy soon began to return to normal in the afternoon. However, as much as the incident is an incident, changes have occurred.

Thinking that their own children or descendants might be killed, parents and guardianship groups sent students to escort them.

Of course, Eden Academy raised a half. However, the security of the academy has become unreliable at the point when people have already died. In the end, the two claims had to be negotiated.

The content of the negotiation plan is that it is okay to attach people, but only one person. The academy doesn’t even provide food, clothing, and shelter, so you have to do it yourself.

Of course, not all students had escorts. Needless to say, commoner students felt burdened even by nobles. It was because he thought that class division could occur between students because who had a stronger escort.

In the end, escorts were sent to places where they had the confidence not to be intimidated, or where they had to be sent.

“Knight Commander. I didn’t know that a person with a stature equal to you would come to the academy.”

“This is the order of His Most High Majesty. To protect the safety of Her Highness… .”

“Anyway, I wasn’t defeated by a teacher here a few years ago. But will you take care of the safety of the original woman?”

“… please trust me We have made several steps forward since then.”

Franklin, the Commander of the Imperial Knights, given to Princess Albrecht, a descendant of the imperial family.

“… sh*t.”

“oh? Why are you looking so sh*tty? Warrior?”

“Oh, no… Please escort me.”

“Whoops, I won’t let anyone touch the tip of the warrior’s hair. Even a teacher.”

“Ugh… .”

“… Lighten up your face a bit. I feel really bad to be with a girl. Seriously, why is this great hero a woman?”

The No. 1 Sword of the Continent, given by the Empire to the Hope of the Continent, which must never die. It was given the nickname Blood Cheonhwa because the flower buds of blood bloom profusely every time the sword was swung.

However, perhaps it was burdensome to have the name Continental No. 1 Sword as an escort, Frey only put on a worried expression. that’s me too

I heard resentment from Maria. That fact alone is disturbing enough, but I have to worry about Frey too.

Maria told Frey to turn his back. However, judging by my intuition, Frey, who had been calm even after seeing the corpse earlier, was by no means something to be ignored.

I think it would be best to keep an eye on it for a bit longer, but it’s an escort. It’s not annoying at all. It is not just a warrior, but the continent’s number one sword.

For me who knew her identity, it was not at all burdensome.

“hello… .”

“The sword that guards the Order meets the noble daughter of the Lord.”

“Saintess, the escort has arrived. Don’t be pressured, just go on as usual.”

“Now, please take care of me. Celtic… kyung. Sir Emelia… .”

Saint Maria was assigned the Holy Knight Celt and Emelia. Both of them were sent by the Holy Church, but they weren’t at the level of knight commanders, but they were elite warriors. However, Maria seemed to be burdened by the appearance of the two.

It was a similar feeling to other students feeling ashamed when they saw their parents during the observation class.

In addition to them, escorts were attached to some high-ranking nobles and royal families of other countries. Thanks to that, the academy was suffering from untimely clutter.

Well, chaos is familiar to me like home, so I don’t really care. Rather, the emotion I feel now is gladness.

“Howdy! Celts! long time no see!”

“hmm? Do you know this article?”

“Let me know. I never thought that the twine’s relationship would be so twisted!”

He waved and greeted one of the two escorts behind Maria. The paladin Celt looked at me with the eyes of an insane person.

I understand, but I’m sorry. We were together the whole time before we died.

Celts. He doesn’t know me, but I remember him. in a different way than it is now.

you have a nice face The skin is also stretched without wrinkles. Is it because it’s the time of the Holy Knight?

Worst prison on the continent. tower of Babel.

It’s on the 7th basement floor. Tartarus. If Alcatraz on the 6th floor was the layer where the people who ruled the continent were trapped, Tartarus is where those who control the fate of the continent are trapped.

A facility where I was imprisoned for 111 days before I was executed, and afterward, Saint Mary also entered and spent seven days and nights.

Celt was the jailer there. He was the one who voluntarily stepped into the Tower of Babel after abandoning his position as a paladin.

Come to think of it, Theseus, who was the chief jailer of Tartarus, must be with us now as a freshman at Eden Academy. I’m not particularly interested.

After growing up in the distant future, Taeseus becomes strong enough to be called a god slayer. It will be a great power by then, but that is too far away. I have to prepare for the demon king battle soon.

“… Holy maiden, it seems like a strange close friend somewhere… .”

“Gwa, it’s okay! Evans is a trustworthy person. hmm… Even if it looks a little strange on the outside… .”

“I am relieved to hear that the saintess said that. Did you say Evans? I am truly grateful for being close to the saintess.”

Celt reaches out and shakes my hand. If you think about his disposition, you may think inwardly, ‘Is it right that a person like this is with the saintess…’? .’

It doesn’t matter. Nature is good. I clasped my hand and shook it.

“I wish you well. The people escorting Maria are really reassuring.”

Come face to face, I remember that time. Even in Tartarus, the prisoner, Maria and I, and the jailer, Celt, got along well. It feels like the childhood memories that have been forgotten and buried are emerging again and again.

“Celt. Don’t be too friendly with students. Our original purpose is to escort the saintess.”

“I know, Emelia. Still, shouldn’t I say hello? How about saying hello too?”

“… This is Emelia, a Holy Knight of the Holy Church. Let’s get along.”

A female knight with bobbed hair hanging down to her shoulders greeted me. I responded with a light smile.

Holy Knight Emelia. I’ve heard of it. I heard her story quite often while talking to the Celts for 111 days in Tartarus.

Celt had a crush on his colleague Emelia. Because of that, he secretly adored her passionately, to the point of suffering from a fever of love.

It seems that Emelia didn’t have feelings for Celt either, and it was said that there was always a subtle air flow between the two. Of course, since it was only a one-sided argument by the Celts, there was no guarantee that Emelia thought so as well.

However, according to the law of the Holy Church, priests are to worship only gods. Love is not allowed. Celt couldn’t bear to convey his feelings.

Around the time when only such affectionate and ambiguous years passed, Emelia died in the war against the demons. The Celts felt a great sense of loss.

Afterwards, when the Holy Church was in danger of being subjugated by the demon king’s army, Celt left the church. Then he entered the Tower of Babel on his own feet and got a job as a jailer. He said that it would be more comfortable to manage the evil prisoners of society rather than becoming a servant of the Demon King’s army.

Feed-.

“Evans, why are you laughing?”

“I’m just happy to see you. I think it might be fun.”

111 days before execution. During the last 7 days, I spent an hour with the saintess, but the 104 days before that, I endured with the Celt as my companion. The amount of conversation we had was not small.

During that long time, the Celts would often confess their regrets about the past. Even if I advised that there is nothing more pathetic than obsessing over time that has passed, Celt couldn’t stop regretting it.

He always regretted it. If I was going to break away from the paladin and become a wolf anyway, I would have confessed to Emilia. I lived with those words in my mouth.

“Kuhm… That, Emilia. Don’t sharpen your teeth on other people. Is it where the saintess goes?”

“Hey, you’re good at that. Last time I went for a drink after a while and hit five or six wrestlers.”

“that! Because they insulted Emilia… !”

“funny. Can a Celt be my lover? I’m calm, but why is the Celt angry?”

I didn’t confess. I’ve already been pouring out my favorite tea. Wasn’t the reason why we couldn’t date each other just because we didn’t have feelings for Emilia?

“… … Well, I didn’t hate it. That doesn’t mean I liked it, so be careful with your behavior! I want to be punished by the bishop again!”

… no It’s just that both of you are so savvy about dating that you couldn’t express your feelings.

Still, seeing the two young men and women makes my uncomfortable mind more comfortable.

When I recall that merciful Maria even went so far as to go against it, it seems that something is firmly connected. how should i release it?

And how should we have a tryst at night when an escort paladin is attached?

The bone goes deep.
