9-1. Hwang?Is the prince route right?

***

“..So, President Laplace. You really didn’t know about the dungeon under the academy?”

“I didn’t know. All the books in the Library of Truth have been blanked out.”

A neatly dressed man took a short nap. It was Laplace, the president who gave a speech at the entrance ceremony of Grand Hearts Academy.

Due to the abduction of the second generation of saints that took place the day before yesterday, he was talking with the executives at the board of directors.

“As expected, I don’t think there’s a need for those with abilities that borrow the power of the gods. God of intellect? You can’t even use it against the warrior cult.”

“I don’t know if it’s another demon king, but it’s ‘omniscient’! What do you say to me! All of our libraries are down right now? Third time after me!”

“..Are you saying I should have seen it even if all the students died? Professor Beatrice?”

The sage with devil horns and the president with the identity of a librarian shouted at the short-haired nun.

“Stop it, Beatrice. They say the apostle imitated you.”

“..Oh, Mr. Dennis. Did you already hear what Shar said?”

“Answer me. Did you really not know about this day?”

A narrow-eyed woman with only the corner of her mouth smiling. The corners of her eyes did not curl, giving her a little goosebumps.

“You know where I was at that time, right?”

“…”

“Perhaps, he used a substitute. Is it like this?”

“It’s not entirely unlikely. Because you are a spy….”

Dennis, with her blue hair and white eyes, glared at her nun. However, Beatrice showed a relaxed appearance as if she had nothing to worry about.

“Stop. Dennis! You know that Beatrice is not a succubus! Even if we fight among ourselves, only demon kings will like it!”

“..You should be suspicious. Drake.”

“You become too sensitive when only the Demon King of Omniscience appears!”

Drake, the dragon slayer, intervened and prevented a fight from happening.

“..Can’t we be sensitive?”

“Is it because of him again? Didn’t you say you couldn’t even remember his name!”

“Yes, but I am alive. That it exists My body proves it.”

Spitting out a tingling intoxication, he stumbled. As the light in his eyes faded for a moment, he opened a bottle of alcohol and poured it all into his mouth.

Then again, white light emanated softly from his eyes.

“..I investigated with my spirit…. It was from a very long time ago. The order is reversed.”

Then, a pink-haired dryad wearing a purple flower spoke her words.

“What? Professor Maria? That means….”

It was Maria, a professor of animism. As she summoned the hamster spirit, she began to recite the information she had learned. A spirit that moves a small ball.

“The period of formation of stalactites. And the spirits talked to me while watching the growth of the moss, and I think it was prepared ‘from the beginning’.”

“Before the academy was established, it was underground..? Damn, I got hit.”

Drake put a hand to his forehead and frowned. The shape of the scars changed briefly. The blonde-haired dragon slayer looked in Beatrice’s direction again.

“Beatrice, have you really never been involved with the Cult of Braves?”

“..I never left the academy. Dragon Slayer.”

“Hey, if you were involved, the Demon King would have stayed silent!”

As soon as he finished his words, the blue-haired man stood up. He opened his mouth as if addressing everyone present.

“The power of the demon king…. It’s a really powerful ability. Doesn’t everyone think so?”

“I agree. Think about your body, though. Dennis.”

“That sounds right.”

“Even if it wasn’t just the head…”

He spoke in a dejected tone to the two who had been listening to the nun a while ago. He stared at the ceiling and let out a long sigh.

“I always catch head acres. Do you have any objections?”

I took out a sphere magic circle from my palm and launched it into the air. A magic circle that has quite a few rings now. The rotation was repeated several times.

“..It might be possible with this.”

Dennis, who made a fist to cancel the cast, spoke briefly. Contrary to the previous one, he was burning with enthusiasm. Looking at it, Drake asked.

“..Dennis, what is that strange thing?”

“Oh, this? Richt-kun told me. It’s called a three-dimensional magic circle.”

With a grin, he told Drake,

“Your disciple… How dare you…? I have magic…?”

“I guess he didn’t like old-fashioned swordsmanship. Old man.”

The dragon slayer’s forehead narrowed. Even though he had been training with himself for over five years, he seemed dissatisfied with Dennis.

“So, should I tell this to His Majesty the Emperor?”

“If it’s older brother… well. It’s like saying, ‘There was a school of warriors in the basement of the academy your daughter goes to!’!”

“Will we all die? I’m against It got a little worse after becoming emperor.”

As the sage raised his objection, the other ten were nodding their heads. Seeing that, Maria expressed her doubts.

“..Anyway, it’s Your Majesty.”

“Oh, Maria. Do you really want to disappear into the dew of the executioner? In the end, no one was hurt.”

“But… it was almost dangerous.”

“If you directly touch the academy, there will be a war. The Brave Cult are not fools, are they?”

“That’s not true… Cardinal Beatrice…”

As the blonde-haired nun scolded him, the dryad had no choice but to retreat. In fact, there were no casualties, and if he had intended to create confusion by targeting the vacant position of the second saint, he would have killed him.

‘I’m anxious… I moved after being still for nearly 20 years. Will it be okay?’

But there was something on her mind. As if to calm their anxiety, the 10 girls began to think of ways again.

“I will try to increase the strength of the academy’s barrier as much as possible or block outsiders’ access.”

“I need to put more effort into fostering the successor..”

“There is no way the demon king will attack the academy. Because Locke-nim has already had a muk bowl once!”

“..I have to give them actual combat training under the guise of an assignment.”

Then, he seemed to have thought of something. Dennis spoke to Drake again. There was information that flashed in my mind at the expression that I served the muk bowl.

“Oh, that’s right. Didn’t you say that it was Licht-kun who solved this… Not Nex, the vice-principal’s son?”

“Yes! Dennis, a disciple of the person who takes the apostle class. With this level of skill, there won’t be any problem even if a group of warriors come in! hahahaha!!”

“Yeah, great. Not only that, but Fine Yang is also very strong. If the demon king attacks, I will be there, and you will be there too…. It will be fine.”

A brief moment of silence.

“…”

Everyone tried to pretend that nothing was wrong, but in each other’s hearts, there was a corner of worry. Fear of not knowing that war might break out again.

“Then.. If the tail of the Brave Bridge is caught, open it again. Because the dungeon collapsed and no one was found alive.”

With the wise man’s words, the agenda of the board of directors came to an end.

***

“Ugh, I feel really bad.”

As soon as I got out of bed, I heard a crunching sound from my body.

“Kinel.. Went to class.”

The empty space is a technique that puts a lot of strain on the body. Since I wrote it consecutively, these four months are worth it. I looked around the dorm room where I was alone.

“Let’s summarize what we learned this time.”

The academy has already applied for an excused absence. I picked up the notebook from the bookshelf.

First of all, regarding the status window,

‘It rises and falls.’

If the love line becomes dangerous, it will be displayed, so this was able to prevent the Grand Route from going wrong.

‘If it exceeds 50%, it seems like you are starting a relationship…. If it’s 100 percent, is it marriage? After all, it’s ‘love’ too.’

62% Of couples get engaged even after marriage.

As for Nex, you’ll have to settle the feud with Asha Aureus.

I thought that the end of a relationship would be a happy marriage. Then, will our saintess get married after dating?

“…”

The illustration I saw right before I became possessed was like that, so I think it’s probably right. Tears began to cover my eyes. I just need to clap from behind.

“..No matter what, you will hate a man like me.”

I thought of the time when I was caught in Servi’s nightmare. As soon as I touched her face, I immediately realized it was a dream. No matter how many times I think about it, I don’t think I’ll like this kind of look.

Suddenly, old memories flashed through my mind. A line he said when a white-haired woman gave him encouragement.

[It’s just that those people are bad. Don’t be intimidated. Knight…!]

But back then it was a game, and this is the past. The saintess and I would have no contact now.

“The real reality is not so easy. Holy Maiden.”

There were many other characters besides her who spoke favorably to the player,

You shouldn’t hang on to it. I had to throw away the idea that even if I took the saintess route, I would be able to fall in love.

Because I’m satisfied just by protecting the saintess by my side.

A contrived word created by people in the first place. In fact, it may not exist anywhere.

I let out a deep sigh. I really need to see a happy ending this time.

I don’t want to see her sad again.

“..Head Ake.”

I opened a page that says ‘The Demon King of Battery’.

The demon lord explained that the death god from another world was summoned as a hero. A madman obsessed with the number of lives written in the life and death book.

When I raided the dungeon yesterday, what was the reason I was more optimistic than the Demon King of Truth….

‘The demon king who saved our saintess.’

At the end of , He actually addresses the player directly. She said that since the nameless saint did not need to touch her, she would keep her alive.

After that, she is forced to leave in the final battle before seeing the ending, and that’s how she survives until the end of the original work and appears in the sequel.

As such, if it suits his plan, he is a human who reduces unnecessary killing to a minimum. But if the calculation goes wrong….

‘A demon king who kills without mercy or beats the power.’

This is the case with Dennis. He avoided killing according to the devil’s creed, but he put a curse on his lover.

‘..I am still too weak.’

Strength entered the grip. Yesterday’s work was fortunately a believer who knew his abilities, and my constitution suited me as if I was lucky.

But if it had been a ranged ability that could perfectly counter me, I wouldn’t have been able to protect Nex, let alone save senior Shaartine.

Demon King, is it right that I can catch it now?

Fatigue came. I don’t even have a way to block the authority. It was a joke because I knew the location of the dungeon, but in fact, it could not have been there.

Should I become stronger while protecting the love line at the academy? The grand route shouldn’t have failed either.

I feel like I’m missing something, but…

The road ahead was bleak. I still don’t have any connections or anything to get a weapon. If at least I had a holy sword, I wouldn’t know.

“I don’t know how to do it.”

Currently, it cannot reach the Demon King. As usual in the original and subsequent works, they are scammers with authority.

I have no choice but to do it.

“Prince Route.”

No matter how much I think about it, I should ride it.

Is there a way for the current me to protect her when she meets the Demon Lord?

I knew how to use divine power, but it was a character designed to the extent that I couldn’t catch even a passing bug.

‘Chartines and Beatrice are normal though.’

In the community, there were many harsh evaluations such as ‘incompetent’ or ‘healer who only uses it briefly in the beginning.’

Actually, most of the healers in the game do battle. There was also a clergyman like a berserker who wielded a mace, and Munch who split the sky and pulverized the earth with just his fists.

Besides, the wolf beasts were not that rare. If you were a person on the Imperial side, it was common to have dog ears or cat ears.

‘If you look at the bodyguards, they are a human race with wolf ears and tails.’

I just liked it and carried it to the end of the game. It was because I just had to push with the control, press with the spec, and catch the demon king.

And I liked the things she would talk about occasionally while taking a break after the battle.

Slightly high voice, transparent and clear personality. Text that says it smells like roses.

[I only received help today. Knight… But, if it’s not me, why don’t you go somewhere else to get healed?]

It still shimmers when I close my eyes,

[Yes? Why is that suddenly?]

The comment that makes a huhu sound, smiles and jokes at me.

[..Because I might be jealous.]

It remained in my memory and made my heart beat like a habit.

“…”

I started to worry about her safety again. Where the hell is she and what is she doing?

My saliva was dry. Because of that, I quickly started looking for the most dangerous stumbling block in the notes,

“..Magic Hat Masquerade.”

I mumbled that the mad magician was the most dangerous.

A person who wears a mask, deceives others, and at the end of Even cuts off our saintess.

The reason I possessed it in the first place is because of this guy.

Since the Brave Cult’s activities have begun, he will surely start moving.

My guess is that the main character of Is Lupus Grancia. Even if you struggle like this, you’ll have to fight hand in hand in the end.

If it’s for the sake of the nameless saint, I’m not in a position to choose any means or methods.

A bad ending might be avoided if the demon of truth is made incapacitated in the past like the crown prince.

Even if I insist, the saintess doesn’t know me anyway. If she stays still like this, she could be attacked by her demon king.

It would be fine if I only had Lupus as a companion so that the conditions of the saint’s route would not go wrong.

As my thoughts became clearer, I came up with something to do.

“..Let’s go see Nex-senpai first.”

A spirit that has grown into an adult. Now that would be really helpful. Even if the demon king attacks the academy, he won’t be able to break through the cradle of the phoenix.

“I need to buy a pure love injector.”

Besides, I had to buy a new sword. I’ll sell it because it’s an academy. I stepped

***

In the space where the chandelier illuminated her round table, five figures sat.

It looked like it was a place to eat, with many appetizing-looking dishes lined up.

“..Is it really all over? Head?”

“Yes, with this, Nex must have learned the ‘Cradle of the Phoenix’. There will be no mistakes in my calculations.”

“Do you go this far to reduce the number of people who will die? It’s really poisonous.. If you just do it all at once… !!”

“No. You have to go where the odds are highest.”

A woman dressed as a magician holding a fork and a gentleman-like man in a suit alternately checking books with her monocle. Next to it,

“..I think this plan is really good. Right? Brother Finn?”

“Right. Intinium.”

A man and a woman who looked like twins were eating and laughing. Her blood dripped from the steak she cut with her knife.

“Was the hero of the battery only kidnapping? It’s not even funny. It’s not like children’s playhouse.”

A long black-haired man with deer antlers scolded a man wearing monocles in a scratchy tone. Then, feeling uneasy, he opened his mouth.

“Heukwoon, you have a bad mouth. This is the best And stop calling me that.”

“This is what our battery warrior thinks. Could it be wrong? Whooping!”

Tilting her magician’s hat, the white-haired woman spoke with a smile. She was pounding the back of a man called Head, as if to cheer her up.

“..As expected, you had better not open your mouth.”

“Why? In the past, our warriors were close to each other.

“It’s been a long time since I abandoned the name of a warrior. Magic Hat.”

“Yes, I understand. Demon King!”

A magician who inflates his cheeks as if he’s pouting. Looking at it, the man and woman who looked like her twins were laughing and giggling, and the old man named Heukun twisted her expression displeasedly.

“But even if it was a battery, was there any reason to use Servi? There is gluttony and there are many other apostles.”

“If you do this, you can make a loophole in reverse.. Hmm?”

Head’s hand stopped turning the pages.

As if something big had happened, a man wearing a monocle opened the book again and flipped through it several times. He even broke into a cold sweat as if checking to see if there were any mistakes.

“Oh, why are you like that? Head..?”

“It can’t be like this. Obviously, this time Nex will be the traitor….”

Head’s hands trembled. As a result, the other demon lords’ attention was focused on the gentleman.

“Ha, as expected. Then it is..”

“Ake, are you okay..?”

Seeing that, the corners of the magician’s eyes became crescent moons, her long gray hair fluttered, and her golden eyes shone.

“..This sounds like fun!”

Seeing someone’s name written in the life and death book, the Demon King of Truth laughed.
