I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 148

148fury

In fact, what caught my attention more than the princess was the appearance of the doll..

Not only the clothes you are wearing, but even your skin and hair... … . Except for the short limbs, it was so precise that it could be mistaken for a human..

Perhaps in the public eye, it is called a Bisque doll or a ball-jointed doll. That's probably what they call it..

‘Is that cute?.’

I don’t want to criticize other people’s sense of beauty, but… what should i say.

Does it look like a gloomy lung lying in the same place??

The materials of the clothes and accessories were luxurious, but that doesn't make me feel like I would ever want to bring them home..

In fact, in terms of the completeness and overall quality of the dolls, the dolls of Iron Blood Ball and Leone that the Dean showed were much more complete.…….

The doll the princess was holding had an unpleasant appearance because it vaguely resembled a human being..

Anyway, the doll's eyes were open, but the white and black colors were reversed, making it even more burdensome..

‘My eyes widen…….’

…Even without the doll, the princess's personality was a bit burdensome, so I wanted her to take Seren with her if possible..

The princess readily entered the store and sat down across from me..

Then he looked at me with eyes that looked exactly like Glenn's and smiled slightly..

“I heard that all Badniker bloodlines have rare black hair and magical purple eyes, but your hair color is a bit strange..”

“I inherited a stronger lineage from my mother..”

“aha. I thought you used hair dye too, but you didn't..”

dye?

I saw the princess.

The princess's hair was pitch black. A person who carries on the royal bloodline naturally has red hair..

The princess must have noticed my gaze and smiled, twisted her hair and said.

“It's pretty?”

“…….”

For a moment, the word 'gabulgi', one of the speaking habits of the third executioner, came to mind..

It means that guarding is an impossible skill, and that's exactly my situation right now..

Here, if you praise her for being pretty, it means that dyed black hair is better than the red hair that is traditional for the royal family.…….

But if you say no, wouldn't that constitute an insult to the royal family or something like that??

Fortunately, the merciful princess changed the topic..

“What is delicious here??”

“…The stewed chicken and grilled lamb ribs are delicious..”

“I see Please give me a cup of black tea.”

“…….”

I wondered if there was a menu like that in a place like this. The owner nodded quickly, wondering if he was a clueless person..

“I'll get it right away!”

If there were no tea leaves, they were ready to grow them, harvest them, dry them, and then brew them..

The princess looked at us with a relaxed expression and said.

“Seren, it looks like they were having a secret affair. Did I somehow disturb you??”

“no.”

“Hmm. I also have classes in the afternoon, so I'll be gone soon..”

The princess joked as if she wasn't unaware.…….

I really drank a cup of black tea and then got up..

The attitude was that he really only came to say hello..

“Black tea is just so-so. Anyway, I'll just leave now. Come to think of it, did you gather some members??”

“sorry. No progress yet.”

Then the princess's eyes turned to me..

“I think this friend will be okay too.?”

“hmm… If that's what you mean, princess, let's talk about it separately..”

“That's it.”

The princess smiled and left the store..

Seren pressed her temples with a tired face and said.

“…Could you please order me a beer??”

“okay. owner?”

“It's here.”

The owner brought me draft beer as if he had prepared it..

Seren drank what seemed like 500cc of beer in one go and wiped his mouth..

“Fuhuu…….”

“Surprisingly, he was a drunkard. I want to eat some snacks too?”

Seren glanced at the plate and spoke in a gloomy voice..

“I want to eat fried chicken.”

“Is that so... … . What is the member the princess just mentioned??”

“I'm talking about the ghost story club. The princess is the manager there..”

“What is a club??”

“To put it simply… It's a group of students with similar hobbies..”

“Hmm. It's just a meeting for fun..”

“The princess wants to secure up to five members there. I don't know the exact reason, but.”

“That's right.”

I also asked while picking up a piece of chicken and eating it..

“How many people are there now??”

“There are only two of us, me and the princess. If you add you, there will be three..”

“So that means we have to save two more people..”

“okay.”

Seren said nervously..

“They say that if you gather all five people, they will invite you to the clubroom. I think there might be a clue there..”

“You have to hurry?”

“It's not a situation where there is leisure. Because there are less than 10 days left until the full moon.”

Why is the full moon again?.

Sometimes conversations get blocked like this because of gaps in information..

This is an inconvenient factor if we are to maintain a cooperative relationship in the future..

I saw Seren.

I opened my mouth with the thought that now was an important turning point..

“I haven't properly explained the situation yet. I'm just asking because I can't believe it.…….”

I lowered my tone..

“…One of them is a church member.?”

“…….”

Seren couldn't answer readily, but.

I could see the tip of my chin going down slightly..

“I know it's hard to believe.”

“no. believe. You took a peek at Laplace's new book..”

rattle-!

Seren jumped up from her seat and looked at me with an angry look on her face..

“What do you think about the new book?……?”

I snorted and drank my beer..

I've been thinking about it for the past few days.

Even though I know something about this guy's situation, I'm trying to pretend I don't know everything. It's so exhausting..

In the future, we will continue to meet face to face and cooperate from time to time, but it is not suited to my temperament to worry about making a mistake every time..

So conclusion.

I also decided to reveal my true feelings to some extent..

“Just sit down. You stand out so much now.”

“…….”

Seren looked around..

Due to the atmosphere of the store, no one is particularly interested in what other customers are saying..

While we were talking, he suddenly stood up and caught everyone's attention..

I continued speaking as I watched Seren sit down..

“Just as you know something I don't know, there are also things I know that you don't know. At least beyond your imagination.”

“…….”

“Hey. I don't think that trust between people can only be formed through sincere relationships. Rather, I tend to believe that there should be secrets even between parents and children..”

I ended up speaking in a slightly rambling manner, which is uncharacteristic of me... … . I hope this guy understands what I mean..

In fact, if Seren refuses and tells me to tell everything, there is no way for me to respond..

‘It's just a ruin.’

However, in my judgment, Seren Goodspring is not the owner of a simple concept..

A guy who can think flexibly at times..

Above all, it would be very disappointing for this guy to end the relationship here..

“…….”

After a moment of silence, Seren's head shook..

“…It's as you said. Thanks to Laplace's new book, I partially know the future..”

Looks like a conclusion has been reached.

We decided to continue this alliance for now..

Of course, apart from that, the guard against me may have risen slightly, but it doesn't matter..

Because I once thought of Seren that way too..

However, Seren showed that he carried out his justice until right before his death.…….

When I saw that, a thought occurred to me..

I'm thinking, what's so important about the secret this guy is holding?.

So, I don’t have to worry about my head hurting either..

Because apart from hiding secrets, I am proud of myself..

“What was written in the new book??”

Seren said in a slow tone..

“… The second full moon, the reddest river of twilight, will reach all the way to the dark sky. When despair and grief swirl and destroy the tree of knowledge, the river of blood dyes the full moon in its own colors..”

“…….”

I heard that the prophecy guy usually talks in a way that is difficult to understand.…….

Fortunately, this prophecy was not so difficult that I could not understand it at all..

“…The second full moon seems to refer to the full moon in February..”

“The only place in the system that can be called the Tree of Knowledge is Cartel Academy..”

“If it's a dark stream, does that mean disaster happens at night??”

“It will happen. Lastly, the phrase that the river of blood dyes the full moon in its own color is…….”

“You're talking about the blood moon..”

Only then did I feel like I knew who the devil would appear at Cartel Academy..

“Hadeneihar.”

“that's right.”

Seren nodded heavily..

Demon King of the Blood Moon.

A faction also known as the Assassination Order. It is the most secretive force in the church, and most of its members are experts in assassination, infiltration, and manipulation..

He is also a demon lord who has had his own entanglement with me... … . The guys who tried to kill me in the Gem Mountains were none other than Hadeneihar's assassins..

In other words, they are good at hiding their identity..

Seren lowered her voice even further..

“To be honest, I'm half-convinced that the princess was the one who betrayed him..”

“…Normally, when you say that, it's said that Glenn was the insider..”

“It's like that in novels. Reality is different. Suspicious people are suspicious because they act suspiciously. It's even weirder that a guy like that isn't the criminal..”

I agree with you.

“There is a basis?”

“His actions are very suspicious. When she's not taking classes, the princess locks herself away in the research wing of her academy. There are a lot of rumors that she's a bit strange..”

“research building?”

Seren nodded..

“It's the area north of the academy. Professors are usually the ones who rent labs, but in rare cases, students with exceptional talent can also rent private labs..”

“What are the rumors??”

“Hearing something like a scream inside the room, seeing the princess covered in blood, moving a leather bag by herself without knowing what was inside... … . That kind of thing.”

“It seems like a rumor, but…….”

Seren received my words..

“…No, there is no smoke coming out of the chimney.”

“hmm…….”

“Of course, you shouldn't jump to conclusions. I will also investigate further, so please take care of the prince..”

I nodded..

“okay.”

* * *

“Research building? I know there!”

Pam, whom I met at the restaurant, was chattering..

“They say it's no joke, it's a scary and gloomy place.?”

“scared?”

“huh! There were a lot of ghost stories. In the middle of the night, you hear a knock on a glass window in an unlit building, or you feel gazes from somewhere, or your body is taken away when you make eye contact with a pale woman in the window.…….”

Hearing this, I remembered the strange rumor about Princess Perist that Seren had told me..

Even though I didn't ask, Pam continued talking with a dark smile on his face..

“The most impressive thing was the story about ‘Building 13, which cannot possibly exist’..”

“13arc building?”

“There are only buildings up to number 12 in the research building, but building number 13 appears on Friday the 13th? It is said that if you cannot overcome your curiosity and step into building number 13, you will be halfway into the other world..”

“Then what happens?”

“They say the game of tag has begun. They say you have to beat the ghosts inside by morning to return to the original world..”

“Hmm…….”

“Additionally, the setting was more detailed than expected, so it was fun. In a building, only the infirmary is absolutely safe, or only cleaning tools in the material room can attack ghosts.…….”

I just passed what Pam said with one ear, but Pam seemed to have suddenly remembered something and clapped her hands and said:.

“ah! Come to think of it, I heard Evan went to the research building yesterday.?”

“Evan?”

“huh. On an errand for the swordsmanship professor-.”

“Wow!!”

A desperate scream cut off Palm's voice..

Pam, who was in a good mood by telling scary stories, was startled..

I wasn't to that extent either, but I was quite startled and looked at the source of the scream..

At a table a little away, Evan, who we were talking about, was standing there..

This guy was looking at a student rolling around on the floor with an expressionless face.…….

When I looked closely, this guy looked familiar too..

‘tallith?’

This is the guy who started a fight with me in Professor Alec's class..

He was looking up at Evan with his nose bleeding, as if he had been hit..

“you you… … ! I know how dare you do this to me and get away with it?”

“Wasn't it you, the one who insulted the Helvin family first? He swung his fist first..”

Then, attention immediately focused on Talis, and the bear got angry with a very red face..

“When did I say that?……!”

“There is a communication crystal installed in this restaurant. Would you like to use it to determine the authenticity? I don't care.”

At that moment, Talis suddenly stood up and rushed towards me..

The speed is quite fast, but the movements are clumsy and the attacks are simple..

It means it's too emotional..

Evan easily dodged the attack, broke his arm, and smashed Tallis' face on the restaurant table..

Kwasik!

“……!”

At the sound of a plate breaking, someone let out a short scream..

A chilly silence suddenly fell in the once noisy restaurant..

“uh…….”

Even Palm looks shocked..

I also felt like things were going out of the ordinary..

“…I know people like my senior well..”

Evan whispered as he looked at the blood spreading on the table..

“They are the disgusting type who first look for authority when they are wrong. But why don't I know? That proud authority does not even protect one's life..”

“Shut up……!”

“It's probably because they don't know that they have to walk to avoid disputes. I'll teach you. If you do something stupid, you have to pay the price.,”

Evan gave strength to his broken arm. Then, Talis' arm joints began to tilt at impossible angles..

“Ugh, uhuh……!”

The moment Talis, who was pinned to the table, started a riot, Charis who was next to him quickly stopped him..

“Evan! That's enough!”

“…….”

“hey! Can't you hear me? That hand right now-.”

Charis trembled..

It was the moment I glanced back and saw Evan’s face. Unfortunately it wasn't visible from my angle..

“you…….”

“…hmm. Did I go a bit too far??”

Evan smiled slightly and relaxed his hands..

Talis woke up with a crunching sound..

And the moment I made eye contact with Evan, I hurriedly left the restaurant with a "hi" sound..

“Why are you like this these days? It's a little strange.”

“What's strange about it? You learned it at the retreat. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

“what?”

“Rather, I took matters into my own hands. If I had been wearing a sword I would have cut off a limb..”

The moment Charis' face hardened, Evan smiled again and said.

“Relax your expression. Because it's a joke.”

“…….”

“Let's eat something. thank god. You're lucky. There was no blood on the lamb..”

Evan sat down, picked up the mess of food on the table, and ate it..

“…Wow, I was surprised..”

Palm put her hand on her chest with a face like a squirrel seeing a wild beast..

“Was Evan that kind of personality? I think it's the first time I've seen you so angry. ah. Of course she was smiling…….”

“…….”

“Seo, it could not be possible that the body was taken away by a ghost... Probably not?”

I drank the water without answering, but…….

However, he continued to follow Evan with his gaze..
