“Well, even if I sold it, it’s a pittance. Will the price of voting tickets be enough to buy a candy or two? That was it.”

Tia shrugged and said.

“By the way, do you know what hitting the goal here?”

“Is there still anything more painful than this?”

“Duplicate voting was possible.”

“… … .”

At Tia’s words, I glared at Eleanor, who was crushed in the corner.

Eleanor frowns even more as if she knows what she did wrong.

don’t raise your head because you are guilty

“under… … !”

A real laugh out loud

Eleanor, where did this bastard learn such bad things… … .

Eleanor sold her voting rights.

However, duplicate voting is possible. What does this mean?

They instigated competition among those who bought the right to vote and alienated them.

It’s a great business savvy.

Basically, because Eleanor knows a lot of people, she can do it.

Now, I am afraid of the recognition she has in ＜Skientia＞.

“Note that… … . Whew… The ticket for you sucks… Ha, more than the number of people expelled from the academy… It’s a lot. Fuhahahahaha!”

“That’s information I really didn’t want to know at all.”

“Ahahahahaha!”

Tia knocks on her desk and bursts into laughter at my blatant displeasure.

I really want to hit you.

After laughing for a long time, Tia soon wiped the tears from her eyes with her fingers and told me the more shocking truth.

“Oh, and you’re the triple crown.”

“… … .”

“Congratulations. Was it popular? The #1 bad guy who suits women well, seems to cry a lot unexpectedly, and seems to have made a lot of women cry.”

I’m dizzy with one thing, but three things. He must have cried a lot and made a lot of women cry.

What kind of tear lover are you? It’s not enough to shed, so do you even let it shed?

It’s ridiculous.

“Oh, by the way, the kids are quite serious about voting. The number of votes for you is the size of a city.”

“What is that… … .”

It couldn’t be worse.

Doesn’t that mean that some of the people who have been monitoring me up until now might have been serious about voting like that?

Doesn’t it mean that there might be at least one person among them who truly wants me to dress up as a woman, who, surprisingly, has a lot of tears and regards me as a person who makes me shed tears?

I’m afraid I won’t be able to walk around campus anymore.

Rather, ＜Spellage＞, which is hostile to me, might be safer.

“Noah… … ?”

“Too, it’s not my fault that the voting results came out like that… … .”

He strides towards Eleanor, who committed such an evil and terrible thing.

That one should be beaten.

“Whoa, whoa, calm down, Oz. You shouldn’t use violence in the dean’s office.”

As I try to approach Eleanor, Tia uses magic to restrain me. I can’t move at all.

one cup! Just let me hit that idiot with just one shot!

“And a woman’s dress might be unexpectedly right? If you just purify those eyes that look dirty… … .”

“no!!!”

now i get it The reason Tia called me was not because I had an accident or because Eleanor had an accident.

Being instead of a guardian is just an excuse. She called me… … .

“uh? Do you really think you’ll be fine?”

It’s because I caught the number of cases that would bother me. As an adult, you can’t be as naive as a child.

“Well, let’s end the joke here.”

“… … If you want to stop, lower that corner of your mouth first.”

“Hmm, hmm… … .”

When I look serious, Tia, who had been struggling to hold back a laugh just before, scratched her cheek and said,

“Anyway, this is the main point. What Noah did… … .”

“no.”

What do you still have left? Eleanor, what are you really doing?

“Well, it’s simple. It’s voting manipulation. He said he killed King Wu by himself.”

“… … .”

Until now, I felt resentment and anger to the extent that I couldn’t forgive it, but now I feel sorry for him.

Is this how parents feel?

It is a pitiful feeling.

“No, how did you get the number 1 cute girl… … . Let’s say there was a little bit of room for that.”

“Wait… … .”

Eleanor pleads with Tia. It is a surprisingly pale face.

“But the number 1 girl who seems kind is a bit… … . The difference between Arietta and the number of votes is three times… … . Didn’t you think I was too careless?”

“OMG… … .”

Eleanor’s face couldn’t be more red with shame.

As if she had no courage to face the world any longer, she fell flat on the floor.

“Noah… … . What the hell am I supposed to do with you… … .”

“Kill me… … .”

He forcibly lifts Eleanor, who is stuck on the floor and refuses to move, and puts her on a chair.

The heart understands, but you have to live.

Live to pay for your sins.

“Well, that’s why that idiot was called to this place. A massive scam. You did very well.”

It was a cold voice that made it hard to believe that he had been laughing just before.

No, it was just that she hadn’t noticed it because she was being ridiculous until now, and Tia had never looked at Eleanor kindly from the beginning.

If such cold eyes of contempt were constantly exposed, even the seed of interest would have been crushed.

“Originally, I would be expelled without looking further. Know?”

“Yes, yes… … .”

Eleanor was starting to weep now. yes, that would be scary

I know this because I’ve been through that.

“Whatever… … . Considering that the intention was desperate, it is understandable. Well, even if you consider that, it’s usually paid.”

Tia, who was looking down at Eleanor with cold eyes, looks sideways at me.

Because I decided to take care of her.

They probably won’t really get paid. For example, I’ll have them do things similar to what I’m in charge of the daily dungeon.

“This time, I’ll treat you as an out-of-town service. Half of the vacation is confiscated.”

Well, since she and I are in different positions, it is only natural that we become volunteers.

“It’s too much!”

Of course, Eleanor, who was making a grand plan to visit Chrysos during vacation, had no choice but to protest.

Isn’t that what made money by doing things like that in the first place?

“If you don’t like this, then you have no choice but to show violence?”

“On second thought, it seems like a very reasonable alternative… … .”

“Yeah, well thought out.”

However, in the face of top predators, it has no choice but to be docile.

Eleanor could only nod and hide her tears.

She finally realized.

That the existence in front of me is more like a tyrant than an educator.

“There is nothing grandiose about volunteering outside the suburbs. Just in case you both need some emotional stability… … .”

“Me too?”

“Then will you leave it out? Oz.”

I can understand asking you to go with me, but being emotionally unstable is a bit… … . isn’t it too much?

To be sure, there is no one more normal than me in this academy.

“Well, that’s all right. Then what will the place be like?”

I want to avoid places that are too remote or isolated if possible.

Even if I immediately took my killing spree from ＜Spellage＞, I am still an expensive body. Even if it is not ＜Spelling＞, there are many people who will aim for it.

Moreover, there may be people who are targeting Eleanor.

[Myeongwang] Thanatos’s boss or ‘existence’ is like that.

Furthermore, as long as Eleanor’s power was clearly shown than in the original work, the unit of that boundary would be much higher.

“What about the place, I don’t intend to send it to a particularly dangerous or messy place.”

Tia shrugged and winked at me. It looks like there is nothing to worry about.

Apparently Spina’s egg has started moving, so he doesn’t want to be disturbed. They’re thinking of getting rid of us for that reason.

“I wonder if it would be good to go to the Vatican and strengthen your personality a bit.”

“… … .”

A response that seems to be nothing.

But I couldn’t help but freeze. chill down the spine

Chapter 4 of the main story out of sync.

The death of the Red Lion Mercenary Corps and the leader of the Mercenary Corps, ‘Scar’.

[King] Thanatos’s intervention.

A warning from Marie.

… … And where Eleanor will be headed next.

It all went on like a puzzle being put together.

The big flow of the original work is hard to twist.

It was confirmed by the death of Gerard, who should have been subdued, and the ‘existence outside’ that escaped despite thorough surveillance. There was an ingenious trap hidden in the flow itself.

In Gerard’s case, ‘outside beings’ intervene.

Tia’s hidden help in the case of the laboratory’s “existence”.

It was difficult to notice any of them in advance, and even if they did, it was difficult to deal with.

The only thing I twisted with all my might was to revive Marie who should have died.

A large flow is like a waterway, so it is difficult to twist by itself.

“Is it the Vatican… … . I hate it because it feels like something will be stuffy.”

“Aren’t you weird at the point of feeling that way?”

We see Eleanor having a casual conversation with Tia.

All events revolved around Eleanor. No, since we first paid attention to Eleanor in the game ＜Broken Sky＞, it is natural that we only know about events related to her.

If so, her actions should not be taken lightly.

Eleanor’s actions have already changed from the original story. That’s what led her to commit such a large-scale scam.

During the final exam, the top of the intermediate swordsmanship test should have been her.

However, she did not receive the scholarship because the format of the examination was changed. As a result, this situation has become.

We must head for ＜Hedenia＞, a city-state called the Vatican.

Should we consider this a mere coincidence?

No, the situation is too exquisite.

“Did the order change?”

The order of chapters 4 and 5 has been reversed.

I can’t be sure, but I have no choice but to admit the circumstances. It’s not like Chapter 4 of the main story has disappeared.

Sooner or later, she’ll step in to check on Chrysos.

Aside from the fact that Eleanor won’t be able to find a mercenary, given her power of action, she won’t give up.

The biggest variable planted by ‘existence outside’ has been removed, but the purpose itself has not collapsed.

Eventually, what will happen.

But the order has changed.

“Sickness… … .”

When I think of Oz’s actions in Chapter 5, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable.

Do you really want to push me into chapter 5 and make me laugh?

The situation is too full of malice.

“teacher! I want to leave at the same time as vacation. We’ll fix it right away.”

“yes… … . I hope so.”

After hearing all the explanations from Tia, Eleanor came up to me and said,

Looking at that bright smile, I can only worry.

* * *

on the day of school holidays.

In the first place, I wasn’t enthusiastic about my studies, and I didn’t attend separately because I thought the atmosphere would be depressed if I was there.

I did… … .

“Hi-Hi.”

“… … .”

“Oh dear. Master didn’t study better than me? Hi-Hi.”

Eleanor von Chrysos.

This annoying guy finally found me hiding in a corner.

Publication of grades at the same time as the vacation ceremony. As I said earlier, I was not enthusiastic about my studies.

Except for the subjects I needed right away, I took the test itself.

But Eleanor is different.

She is an attention seeker who needs to be noticed in everything.

If there is a problem, there are times when that kind of psychology develops in a good direction, and that is the same as this case.

Like I said before, she did well on the written test so she didn’t have to worry about repeating grades.

When it comes to handwriting alone, he ranks first among first-year combat students. If you include the non-combat system, it is about to rank in the top 40.

“If Master wants, can I teach you about studying?”

“Is it noisy and packed?”

“Hee hee hee. to turn the horse. Well, I have to understand, what.”

Sometimes I really want to hit Eleanor. It pisses people off by forcing them to care about things they don’t even care about.

“Noah, if you’re done talking nonsense, go and get your things.”

“Chit, Master is not funny after all. In this case, wouldn’t it be okay to give a little encouragement to the student who worked hard? It’s not popular because it’s so stiff… … . No, come to think of it, it wasn’t that he wasn’t very popular, was it?”

“What are you talking about… … .”

“You know what? teacher? 90% of the votes that went to the teacher in the men’s section, which seemed to look good in women’s clothing, went to one person. Because there was no room for manipulation? It is very popular.”

“Yes, Noah. I got it right.”

Eleanor has a point.

At times like these, it wouldn’t be bad to give her a boost and fill her lacking mentality.

I guess I was lacking in consideration.

Isn’t she the one who is constantly working hard in the first place? It is not a good idea to deny the effort, even if the intentions are impure.

intermediate magic

[high wind]

“Kyaaagh!”

So I decided to float it.

If you continue to annoy me, I will launch it so that you can look down on the entire ＜Skientia＞ at once.

“Bring your things.”

“Yes, yes… … .”

After being suspended in the air, Eleanor, who came down to the floor, trudged along as if she had lost her mind.

Now the uninvited guest has been kicked out.

“Do you have anything else to do with me? Alexios.”

So, I have to greet another uninvited guest. There are many things to prepare in the future, but there are many guests.

“You’re a bastard who has no idea what you’re doing… … .”

Alexios murmured as if he didn’t understand me, who was physically lifting Eleanor up until just now.

“Being a wizard originally has many facets.”

“Crazy.”

Alexios dismissed my excuse in one word. It’s obviously a short word, but it comes more heavily than I thought.

“I am going to the Commonwealth from now on.”

“Sure.”

“I’m going to break Lena’s leg. And I’m going to pull it out of that f*cking parade.”

“It seems that the ends and the means are opposed. Is it because of my mood?”

Why does breaking a leg sound like the main thing?

“Well, anyway, today I came to say thanks to you. This is more useful than I thought.”

Alexios said while tapping the bracelet-shaped magic tool wrapped around his wrist.

It’s a magic tool I ordered from ＜Tenebris＞ in the past.

“If you’re really thankful, why don’t you choose your words well? What is ‘you’?”

Why is your face so thick?

“under! it’s funny For a bastard like you, ‘you’ is enough.”

Yes, what do you expect from your personality?

After that, Alexios’ expression became a little more serious.

“And one more.”

“… … ?”

“I want to prove my innocence to my brothers and sisters.”

Alexios bowed his head in a polite manner that would be unthinkable for his usual bully-like appearance.

Still, it looks like the gangster is greeting the boss politely, but… … .

“I’m stupid and I don’t know how. So can you teach me?”

I know for a moment that it’s sincere.

For Alexios, who was kicked out without even being able to make excuses, it would be difficult to convince them.

“Yes, you want to dispel doubts, right? You don’t seem to have thought of it, but the method is surprisingly simple.”

“Simple… … ?”

And I know how to get Alexios to dispel his suspicions in the simplest way.

“Yeah, that’s what I would say.”

I put my hand in front of Alexios, who was lowering his head.

The shape of my hand is a symbol of promise with the rest of the fingers folded except for the ring finger and thumb.

“I’m afraid you’re not the culprit… … . Hmm, hmm. All you have to do is swear an oath to Mana.”

“… … .”

What would you do if you looked at me like that? Did I say something wrong?

If you’re proud, isn’t it common sense to just swear by M?
