118 – For your happy ending (4)

* * * *

Now that Lily has been fed the elixir, the trashy nobles of the empire will rise up again.

It is because they faced the worst situation that they did not want for young Lily to die.

Destined to die soon anyway.

An age where you can’t have children.

Rather than fighting among themselves to claim the imperial power, they plan to work together to completely push out the imperial family and rule the empire as a republic.

The first step for him was Lilithiana’s death.

It is obvious how they will behave after they have gone off the rails from the first button.

… .

… .

A night when the light of the full moon flooded the streets.

I revisited the old man’s mansion as smoke with more quiet movement than usual.

“count.”

A chilly, bloody voice. A grotesquely shaped mask that covers only the eyes.

“Count Bortaire, right?”

Count Bortaire’s astonished expression. A landscape that makes me feel deja vu.

“…! Security… ugh!!”

But this time, it was a little different, and instead of cutting his vocal chords right away, he just overpowered him and thrust the moon into his neck.

“If you make noise, I’ll just kill you like this, so be careful.”

“…”

“If you understand, blink your eyes once.”

Flash.

The guy who was trembling in fear of the sudden approach of death managed to blink.

“Yeah, you listen. Is it because you heard rumors about me?”

“…Either, as long as it’s money…”

hooked I stabbed the moon into the inside of his thigh.

There’s nothing good about getting hurt.

“Turn off, ugh…!”

“I told you not to open your mouth, but why didn’t you listen?”

Only then did he grasp the atmosphere, so he kept his mouth shut while shedding tears in agony.

The reason I treated him differently from the last episode was no different.

Charleuk!

I said, scattering a pile of documents on the face contorted with pain.

“These are the countless corruptions you’ve committed so far. Considering the imperial law, it wouldn’t be strange if you were sentenced to death.”

Kwajik!

He stepped on a document scattered on the floor and acted out a mad smile.

“Besides, there’s a pile of silk that has nothing to do with you in the warehouse… what should I do with this…?”

wiggling eyes.

Apparently, he didn’t understand the meaning of my words, so I grabbed him by the shoulder.

“Listen, I’m not here to forgive you. You’ve sinned, and you deserve to be punished.”

“Ah…then why did you come? Think about it carefully. If you are sentenced to death with all these corruptions uncovered… what will happen to the rest of your family. Your wife? And…the two daughters?”

wife and daughter.

At the mention of these two beings, his breathing began to become very rough.

There is only one reason why I came to this guy.

He was condemned out of anger toward him, but the problem was that his two young daughters were enslaved and one was sold to a provincial governor and the other to a certain country noble.

The bastard’s wife also died while being speechless by the prison guards… As an adult, you must take responsibility for your actions.

Even if it’s a terrible death.

Of course, it’s not that I feel guilty for those daughters.

Just because the police caught a criminal, there is no reason why the criminal’s family should be held accountable for the hardships of life.

I just decided that this side was more correct.

Wouldn’t it be a better picture to offer it as a sign that he would repent of his sins and swear allegiance to the empire, rather than having the empire take over the remaining property after killing him?

“You understand what I mean? You take these documents and ask for forgiveness yourself. Kneeling and bowing to His Majesty the Emperor.”

“If you do, I will guarantee the safety of your wife and two daughters. There will be no future where you will be enslaved and run by other less-than-stellar guys.”

“…Seriously… are you?”

He opened his mouth even though Wolya was pressed against the nape of his neck.

He looked like he would be tired of urinating if he threatened him right now.

Wife or daughter or both?

Anyway, it seems that he has more important things than his own life.

“By my name, I swear.”

“Painting of the Emperor…”

“Shut the fuck up.”

“Hick!!”

… His body trembled, and then he felt a terrible smell.

“ha….”

Oh, this time I didn’t write down the punishment or anything, so why did it happen like this?

It’s all because of Lily.

Since I stopped sending letters after handing over the elixir, the imperial palace directly hit me with a wanted letter.

[Find the man who broke into the bedroom of the imperial princess. There are no special features regarding the appearance, and it is assumed that the age is young, and the person is good at stealth and has a beautiful handwriting. There is a strong possibility that he has deep knowledge in medicine or is related to such a person.]

‘Are you a criminal? I’ll hit you even wanted!’

Announcing that a man had invaded the princess’s bedroom on his own accord was an expression of his will that he would not care if the road to the wedding was blocked.

Such dissatisfaction was suppressed for a while when he saw the letters highlighted in red under the wanted badge.

[As soon as you find the person in question, report it to the Imperial Palace. Anyone who attempts to arrest or injure him will be severely punished in the name of Lilithia or Ekaterina.]

Why are you doing this to me, Lily?

tell me to wait… oh

right. Didn’t you hear your voice?

Only then did I catch my head and regret my actions at that time, but this was new blood.

The content of the wanted post changed from the point I started exposing the corruption of nobles in earnest and doing acts like banditry.

Yes, from that day, my dark history began again.

[Additional note: It is assumed that the person who broke into the bedroom of the princess is the one called ‘the emperor’s shadow’ by some… .]

‘Fuck!!!’

The title that only a handful of people still used to address me was an opportunity to spread beyond the entire empire and to the whole world.

* * * *

In conclusion, my choice was the right decision.

An emperor who provides the perfectly recovered luxuries of nobles to the stability of the people of the empire.

And the shadow of the emperor whose identity no one knows.

The nobles who suppressed the lives of the imperial people and tried to control the empire behind the scenes were presented as scapegoats in front of their eyes, rather than dying in vain one day.

The approval rating for the emperor is rising more prominently than in the second round.

The performance of Lily, the restored princess, smiling brightly at everyone also helped to stabilize the empire.

The evaluation of the emperor also changed from ‘a man who only pursues love’ to ‘the ruler of the kingdom of heaven and the world’.

Of course, even in the midst of that, the number of wanted posts against me showed no sign of diminishing, rather, they were busy increasing day by day.

“…There’s no way I’ll get caught doing that, can’t I? You dog?”

“Kurrure…”

house… A lycanthrope boasting the size of a lycanthrope opened its eyes at me.

This time, it is a real misunderstood house.

Just in case, all the monsters in this area have sprouted, so there is only this one left.

“It’s been a long time since I saw you. It’s nice to see you too.”

Saaak!

Perhaps he regarded my fishy smile as arrogant, so he blatantly went behind me and launched a surprise attack.

It was a movement that was difficult to follow with the eyes in the second playthrough.

To me now, the fact that it only seemed like a cute puppy for a day was very funny.

… Even after seeing me at that time, Finn didn’t laugh at me and silently helped me.

“A bastard is arrogant about humans.”

squeak. The moonlight cut off the man’s head.

* * * *

The arena where dust rises.

Ian, covered in all sorts of scars and sweat, is breathing heavily toward me.

On the other hand, I am leisurely pushing a sparring sword toward Ian with a dry face.

shit.

He raised his eyebrows at Ian and smiled.

“So, are you going to do more? Ian.”

“Ha ha ha… Berry you really…”

“So I said, abstain.”

“Abandonment! It’s not something a man aiming for a hero would do!!”

Caang! Ian and my sword collided.

If I go further than this, it seems like it will be too much for Ian.

“…Then, did you pass out for a while?”

“uh?”

puck!

My fist dug into Ian’s stomach.

“It’s big… uh.”

As Ian collapsed and passed out, the referee shouted my victory. and.

“Next! The finals between Finn from the Empire and Berry from the Empire…!”

“I will abstain.”

Pin looked at me and declared withdrawal.

He is looking at me with a tired face. To be precise, my mask I made on a moonlit night so that only Finn could see it.

“…a wise choice.”

Sudden withdrawal from the final match.

The judge, who was confused for a moment, came to his senses and hurriedly raised his hand and declared my victory.

“This, the top of the academy entrance exam this time! A Berry cadet from the Empire!!”

The head of the Faculty of Swordsmanship that was announced earlier than any other Faculty.

It was said to be an unprecedented event in the history of the academy.

trudge.

Finn sighs as he walks towards me.

“Ha ha. I couldn’t believe that Master was the same age as me.”

“What does age have to do with it? Doesn’t it? More than that… Abstaining is a pity. I just wanted to see how much I’ve grown.”

you are my master How far I have reached the level of the sun I saw.

“I don’t want to collapse aiming my sword at my master in a fight without any gains. My job is to protect Her Highness the Princess.”

“…okay?”

After all, you are you no matter how different you live.

The most loyal knight in the world.

I was not proud of that appearance, and I smiled without knowing it.

“…Master?”

The moment Finn tilted his head at me.

“Mr. Berry!!!”

“…Berry-sama.”

The two girls came straight to me as I had requested, as if the test had been over for them as well.

Anna Freesia, a girl with a short stature who can’t even tell if this is a child, jumps and pours black drugs at me.

It is unclear whether her eyes are open or not, but Grace is a girl who clearly feels her kindness.

And the overwhelming size difference between the two girls.

… For now, let’s call it key.

Because Anna might cry.

“Yeah, that too… Since it’s not a general undergraduate department, the results must have come out right away?

“Yes! He’s the chief! How did you know?”

“There is a way. Let’s say it’s the human eye.”

“…”

Grace staring at my chest.

He looks like that even though I warned him from the first time I met him in this episode.

“Hey, Grace.”

“…ah.”

He went over to Grace and whispered in her ear.

“I won’t say anything about seeing people’s souls, but let’s not get caught, huh?”

“…sorry.”

“No… I don’t mean to apologize.”

Maybe it’s because of what happened in the 2nd playthrough, but I won’t be able to speak harshly or curse at Grace like the 2nd playthrough.

I just sigh and scratch my head.

When did you become friends with these two again?

The day after I defeated the lycanthrope, Anna brought me the whole lycanthrope and said,

‘Anna Freesia, I want to trust your abilities and entrust you with a task… Do you have any thoughts on a long-term contract?’

Of course, considering Anna’s temperament, he didn’t forget to shake the gold nugget in front of her eyes.

-No, of course!!!!

In Grace’s case, it was simpler.

After confirming that she was praying in the cathedral, he quickly took the seat next to her and started talking.

‘Hello, Grace.’

… very, long time no see

-What is my name… .

A gaze subtly directed toward my chest.

He pulled Grace over and whispered into her ear.

‘It’s good to judge by looking at the inside of the soul… I’m going to do something very big soon, so I’d like to contribute something for humanity… .’

… No matter how much I think about it, the only saint in my party is you.

Grace widened her eyes and made a surprised expression.

She glanced at my chest, but that was probably all she could see.

Friendship, longing, welcome, friendship, joy, relief.

All kinds of positive emotions.

After giving her time to realize that I was not lying and that I was a trustworthy person, she asked again.

‘So, if you have time, would you mind helping me out? Roughly… It doesn’t matter even after the academy entrance exam is over.’

“Uh, ugh…”

Ian barely came to his senses.

He gestured towards Anna to hand Ian the potion.

“Ah, that… thank you, whoa?”

“You’re welcome.”

Gulp. Pooh.

After Ian drank the potion, he looked around.

“Then… is there only one Selina left?”

“It’s like that.”

“…? What do you mean, Master?”

“Oh right.”

Finn still had an explanation.

“Finn, do you have some time? No, you have to. If you don’t, I’ll drag you by force.”

“…Yes?”

“Let’s go out for a while. It won’t be long. One…20 to 30 minutes?”

Everyone’s eyes are on me.

Ian.

pin.

Grace.

Anna.

And from far away, even Selina, who was walking with a determined expression on her face.

All preparations are complete.

“We have to let them know that even the gods can search for them if they are not careful.”

Let’s not forget that the author who created this world gave it the name ＜Academy Demon God Subjugation＞.
