24 – Student Council (1)

* * * *

There is only one reason why Grace, who became a saint, entered the NTR route.

It was because of the ‘Virgin’s Prayer’.

Magic that is activated by sacrificing enormous divine power… No, instead of being able to resurrect the dead, this spell had the characteristic of making everything subordinate to that person.

It would be nice if it was just subordinated, but the evil spell had more than that, and there were several fatal flaws.

first. The fact that the maiden’s prayer simply opens a portal to the underworld where the object is located, and the first person to step into that portal can possess everything of the caster.

As a result, even if a portal is opened near the target, if the dead of the underworld existing around it subdue the target and enter the portal instead, the caster will live forever being swayed by the dead of the underworld.

second. Even if the target is successfully resurrected, if the target does not have a certain level of favor with the caster, the caster is immediately taken to hell, and the body and soul are harassed by demons in all sorts of cruel ways.

This is the reason Grace entered the NTR route in the original work.

Ian may have had a crush on her as a close friend, but he did not harbor feelings of love, so Grace was dragged to hell as a reward for reviving Ian.

Since she had to sacrifice all of her divine power as a price for casting spells, having to suffer without being able to even resist the demons of hell must have been a cruel treatment that was even more difficult for her as a saint to endure.

and third. Even if all these conditions are met, the caster becomes a puppet-like being who can control the body, mind, and emotions of the target at will from that moment on.

Of course, since she cast it on Ian only in the story, she wouldn’t have to worry about losing her dignity as a human being… I mean.

‘Even so, the risk is too great.’

The intention of the writer’s kid to make Grace go into an impoverished route was too clearly visible.

This was the case with the fact that an enormous amount of divine power was required to cast the spell, and that the spell was only handed down to successive saints. The moment you become a saint, you naturally learn how to use it or something.

So I proposed to Grace.

“Are you saying that the student council will have the same party…?”

“okay.”

In the student council of this academy, the top and bottom seats are supposed to occupy the seats from generation to generation.

As the head of the Department of Divinity, she will participate in the student council as in the original story, and as usual, she will belong to the same party as Ian there and carry out missions with Ian.

you have to stop that The reason why this bitch fell in love with Ian is because of Ian’s disgusting herbal theory of justice.

‘Even the wicked can repent of their sins… If there is a possibility of repentance, forgiveness must be premised… Oh, I’m disgusted with just thinking about it.’

Even if there is only one Ojirapper in a party of 4, the difficulty often rises rapidly, but as the Ojirapper takes up half of it, the two of them throng and set it up without knowing the line they should not cross, and Ian suddenly dies.

Because of that, Grace sheds tears and activates the maiden’s prayer to Ian.

The best way to stop him is for me to take Grace with me.

If that happens, Grace won’t have a crush on Ian, and the other three will stop Ian from overdoing it unnecessarily.

Protecting the main character’s life, taking out insurance in case anything goes wrong, and having the best potion in the story come out and belong to Lily’s party, so it’s three birds with one stone.

As I was fucking running the happiness circuit in my head, Grace tilted her head at me.

“…Did you fall in love with me at first sight? Berry-sama?”

“no.”

“Ummm… that’s true…”

As I shook my head resolutely as my face became rotten to the extent that anyone could see it, Grace was worried as she touched her chin with one hand. Even her eyes seemed to tell me that I was telling the truth.

Because she said she has eyes that can tell when the other person is saying the truth or a lie.

I don’t know in detail how it looks because it wasn’t described in the work… Could it be that there is at least one word written on top of the head: ‘Truth’ or ‘False’?

“Then why do you want to include me in the party after we talked for the first time today?”

“I won’t go into detail, but there’s a reason you need to be in the same party as me.”

“You can’t tell me, but are you saying that there is a reason I have to go with Berry-sama…?”

Her jewel-like eyes looked down at me.

To this, I just silently nodded.

Then again, Grace asks me that fucking question.

“You’re not doing this because you like me?”

“…I don’t have that kind of feeling as much as the skin of this seed… so don’t worry.”

Because of the unexpected attack, I almost uttered a double curse without even realizing it.

It’s not that I don’t understand that way of thinking at all.

Rather, I think it can be enough. Grace is quite beautiful, and she has a body that would make a man turn his head at least once.

‘But at least it’s not me, you bastard.’

It’s not once or twice that I almost got cancer while reading ＜Academy Drinking Subjugation＞ because of you.

Aren’t they getting stabbed in the back for trying not to kill the guy who almost killed them in the name of giving them a chance to repent?

Even if the village chief continues to stare at you with a sinister gaze, he says that it can’t be helped.

He trembled about treating people who didn’t need to be treated, and then his holy power fell and he ended up becoming an unhelpful burden at a critical moment, and so on.

When I think about how many trolls this bitch has done thanks to Ian’s support, I want to slap him in the face, telling him to come to his senses right now.

As if my sincerity had reached her, Grace looked up at the sky for a moment and pondered, then nodded.

“Then I don’t think there’s any reason for me to reject Berry’s offer. Even if there is, I can’t throw out someone who needs my help.”

“Okay, thank you.”

I thanked Grace from the bottom of my heart.

This time around, it seems like things will go smoothly thanks to your inconsistency.

* * * *

-smart.

As Grace left after checking my condition one last time, I heard someone knocking on the door of my hospital room.

“Come on in.”

I stood tall and greeted the visitor, thinking that Lily might have heard that I had woken up, but a person completely different from what I expected opened the door to my hospital room and entered.

“…principal?”

“How is your body, Berry-kun?”

I couldn’t resist answering the situation when the principal came to the hospital to ask about the student’s physical condition, so I moved around and showed that my body had mostly recovered.

“As you can see.”

“That’s fortunate. Ah, the reason I came is no different. I came to apologize for this incident… and to talk about compensation.”

“A reward?”

When I responded with a wide-eyed surprise, the principal nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, Ian and Selina also went through this process, so even though I expected it to some extent, they deliberately showed a blatant reaction.

Oh, right? It’s kind of strange to have the same reaction.

“Yes, we should reward the excellent students who prevented something that could have turned into a big problem if they went wrong. Speaking of which, I heard that Berry-kun, even though he is a swordsman, doesn’t have a very good sword.”

“Yeah, well… that’s right.”

Isn’t it strange that I, a commoner, carry a good sword? While raiding nobles in the empire, he had seen good swords several times, but that was also the reason he couldn’t bear to touch the sword.

But it’s a sword… .

Certainly, a completely different development unfolded from Ian, who was an aristocrat. In Ian’s case, I remember getting a protection artifact instead of a sword.

As I was silently rolling my eyes here and there, the principal took a step closer to me and said,

“By the way, Lilithiana and Ekaterina said they wanted you to hand over all the rewards. They said they didn’t do anything.”

“…The princess?”

The principal nodded and said.

“That’s why I’m giving you the right to choose one of the swords from our academy’s treasury…what about it?”

“……Hey, if you do that, I’d just be grateful.”

thanks is shit.

It was only to prevent the corners of the mouth from ascending along with the cheekbones.

Was it the result of me being the only one who received the feat that should have been shared between Ian and Selina?

My lips trembled at the fact that even Ian, the main character of the academy, had obtained what he had received in return for defeating the demons that swept through the academy.

The principal seemed to have noticed that I was delighted as well, and he spoke to me with a happy smile still on his lips.

“Then… when would be a good time to enter and exit the treasure house?

“I’ll go right away.”

This matter should not be postponed. I don’t know if another bizarre incident will happen and block my path.

Having made that decision, I immediately got up from my seat and followed the principal to the academy’s treasure room.

Without even imagining that I would see something unexpected there.
