96 – Rescue Evangeline (4)

* * * *

smart-

“It’s open. Come in.”

It’s a soft and dignified voice every time I hear it. His behavior is somewhat frivolous, but he shows off that he is pursuing freedom paradoxically in the opposite position.

“Oh…Cadet Berry. So, what’s going on?”

As soon as he saw me, the principal of the academy smiled happily and rested his chin on his chin.

name is… I’ve heard of it, but I can’t remember. Even the titles to be called anyway are ‘principal’ or ‘principal’, so why do I need to remember them?

“Do you remember that I took the Operati Anulus from the treasury the other day?”

It wasn’t my hobby to talk around the corner, so I brought up the main topic before I even sat down.

I had no intention of showing this side of myself to anyone by talking at length.

“Of course I remember it. How could I forget it? I didn’t know you would wear the red one after hearing that explanation.”

“I took it with that intention in mind. So, to get straight to the point…”

“Oh, yes… tell me. What’s your business?”

The principal looked at me with worried eyes and said.

“Can I set the transfer location to this room? I think there is no other place as safe as this one.”

“The word transfer…”

The headmaster sighed and closed his mouth.

“You may not have known because you can freely enter and exit the main gate due to the status of the student council, but our party will soon head to Wiridia. We have the same student council friends there.”

“…I’m heading to the battlefield to save my friend. Is that what you mean?”

Risking to save a friend… If you just listen to it, it’s the same behavior as in a boy’s cartoon.

The meaning behind it is completely different, and I’m not actually heading to Wiridia… Judging by the results alone, it might seem that way.

“One of the academy’s iron rules. ‘All actions by students are permitted as long as they do not violate the pre-determined school rules’, wasn’t it?”

No matter how immoral an act is, no one will say anything unless it goes against school rules. This is the background in which the academy was able to nurture excellent talent.

That’s why it’s a tightly set school rule, and that’s why the exception of ‘free access to the student council’ is a huge privilege.

“So, I’d like to set up a transfer point here in case something goes wrong. And if possible, if the princess is transferred to this place, I’d be extremely grateful if you take action to prevent her from getting hurt.”

A shadow falls on the face of the headmaster who was looking at me.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone try to use Operati Anulus in that way. Oh… Looking at you, I get the impression that love is a truly great feeling.”

“But I don’t think it’s good to be prepared to throw everything away just because love is good. Oh, by the way, this is advice from the principal of the academy. From my point of view, isn’t it natural to devote your attention and affection to someone with a higher value? .”

In other words, this academy meant that my value was higher than Lily’s.

“Even though he’s the only heir to the empire and the second-in-command at the Faculty of Magic, are you talking about that?”

“So, how about you? You single-handedly defeated the lycanthrope and entered the school as the top student without any background, and saved the Phrygia family a while ago?

“Where the hell did you get all that information…”

“Anyone can do this level of information gathering. Do you know that the swordsmanship department instructors are struggling because of you?

“So, I’m worth more…that’s what you’re saying.”

He nodded his head softly at my words, and then gave a warm smile. The faint sadness hidden behind the smile makes the shadow of the smile even thicker.

“But to speak from the perspective of an old man who has lived his life for 93 years…do as you please. I will also accept your request to take action so that cadet Lily doesn’t get hurt. I don’t know what that means.”

My relationship with Lily.

And considering the effect of Operati Anulus, it was a result that could be easily inferred.

The principal nodded to stop it.

“thank you.”

“Well, if it’s a request from an excellent cadet, it’s only natural to do so.”

With that kind smile behind me, I stretched out my hand toward the floor and shouted.

“Expansio.”

The soul of the red butterfly is fragmented, and half of it begins to permeate toward the floor of the principal’s office.

* * * *

Deep in the woods, where only the chirping of insects can be heard.

Me and Ian, dressed as women, are looking over the bushes at the entrance to a certain cave.

“Let’s finalize the information. Ian, your name is…”

“Ah, right?”

“Don’t hang up, shut up and listen.”

“…yes.”

“Anyway, your name is Ea from now on. The setting is that you ran away from the fallen Kingdom of Diark. And while you were running away, you were caught by me.”

“…okay.”

Our plan was like this.

First of all, Ian, who appears to be a slave of good goods, enters their base with a lie that he has come to sell.

And after leaving Ian to them, I head to the place where the slaves are gathered with the excuse that I want to see what’s good among the other slaves.

Anyway, the location where Evangeline is trapped is shown in the original work, so if you go a little deeper, you can kill the guy who guided me right there and escape with Evangeline.

Ian was told to call Durandal and escape on his own.

He’s a guy who knows how to take care of himself, so he’ll do well enough.

This operation was chosen because it had the least risk of Evangeline being taken hostage, but problems arose from the beginning.

“Oh…hehehe. This year, the frightened face looks sharp? Let’s just taste it before exhibiting.”

Didn’t the slave trader, who saw Ian, stick his tongue out and try to put his hand on Ian’s thigh?

He hurriedly pulled Ian by the scruff of his neck and shouted at the slave trader.

“Do you want to go after things that you haven’t even paid for yet?!”

Since I had to play a character who had to walk to sell a slave in a forest like this, I had to use more explicit and vulgar words than usual.

“I also put up with picking and eating virgins to sell this bitch at a high price. Even while I was here, I only used my mouth to make sure there was no problem with my virginity, but what if you touch me and damage my hymen?”

Ian looked at me with a shocked face.

fuck.

I tried to save myself from being touched by a man, but instead I ended up being treated as gay. You bastard dog, I’ll hit you some more.

Perhaps fortunately out of all the misfortunes, the slave trader seemed to regard Ian’s expression as a tool to determine whether my words were true.

“Ohhh… Judging by the expression on her face, she really looks like a virgin?”

Only a virgin, this bastard is a virgin.

“Do you think I wouldn’t know, once or twice, if you lie with a virgin, you’ll be soaked without even a rat knowing?”

Of course, it is you who is soaked today.

“Your brother’s face is so smooth.

Saying that, the slave trader scolded me.

He gave him a grin while acting the same as the evil of evil.

“What’s fun about fucking a compliant woman? I don’t want to get dirty, so I like to pounce on a rampaging bitch.”

“Kiya~ hyung, with that face, that’s what you like? That’s great, isn’t it?”

There was something beyond shock in Ian’s expression as he looked at me.

This asshole must have forgotten to explain that I would act according to the situation.

… Is it my fault for hitting my head too many times?

“So, I’ll give you two, so I’d like to have 2 or 3 other suitable slaves who don’t mind being broken… If you need money, add more.”

“Would you like to exchange? Well… With a high-end item like this, even if you take a normal 4-5 people, there will be more than enough of us… Hey!”

At the call of the slave trader, one of his subordinates came running in a hurry.

“I’ll take this person and show you the showcase…”

He glanced at Ian and continued talking.

“Choose 3 people from showcase number 3, and one person will take half the price. And send it.”

If it’s showcase number 3, it’s two floors apart from showcase number 5, where Evangeline is confined.

Depending on the value, it is structured to be imprisoned in a deeper place, so the value of Ian in cross-dressing must be at least the 4th showcase or the 5th.

It was said that a suitable slave was enough, but it seems that the appropriateness was set as the standard for Ian dressed as a woman.

‘Congratulations, Ian, if it doesn’t work, you can dress up as a woman and work as a striptease.’

Or he might become a millionaire just by acting as male prostitutes of widowed aristocratic wives with their original faces.

I left behind Ian, who was still looking at me with a blank expression, and moved on.

… Or maybe my acting was too realistic.

* * * *

Every time I take a step, the unique smell of the basement stings my nose.

Still, this is a nobleman. The kids in this case number 3 seem to be getting baths regularly too.

Showcase No. 2 smelled of unwashed stink, and Showcase No. 1 vibrated with the smell of urine that had not been cleaned properly.

‘Actually, it’s quite serious.’

If you think that Evangeline was carried to showcase number 5 while looking at these scenes one by one… I think I know why he hated humans so terribly.

If it had been an elf rather than a human like Ian and Selina who had been saved, he might have become a rare racist.

I walked around showcase number 3, picked only the kids who looked a lot younger than me, and told the subordinate who was guiding me.

“With him, with him. Give it to him. No. I’ll give you more money. If possible, can I give it to all children of that age?”

“Did you prefer the younger side?”

“……Don’t talk nonsense and give it to me quickly, right?”

“Ah, yes…”

He scratches his head and jingles the key.

Now that there are no slave traders, is there any need to act? At the thought of that, I involuntarily became furious.

… Or maybe it was quite disgusting that little kids the size of Evangeline were being held captive.

see even now

Aren’t your hands shaking as you resist the urge to take out the moonlight right now and cut that guy to pieces?

But still.

Ian’s crossdressing hasn’t been revealed yet, so let’s make the most of our time.

“There aren’t that many products as young as this…that’s all.”

There are a total of seven young girls brought before me like that.

Rags, not even clothes… It was worn roughly, covering only the important parts.

Her hands were fidgeting with a terrified look, but the fear imprinted on her seemed to prevent her from shedding even a single tear.

“Ah, you said that you prefer to cry and make a fuss, right? Then I’ll take a whip…”

squeak. You can see a fun scene. The laughing guy’s neck fell toward the ground and rolled on the dirt floor.

“Oh, fuck. It’s a whip.

“Heeep.”

Even if a person’s head fell in front of their eyes, they do not move.

Even that common scream. There is no movement to escape.

If he did, he must have been too afraid of the punishment that would follow.

Fear lingers in the eyes that look at me.

I did it without even thinking about what happened next.

Frankly, these children are just baggage in the process of rescuing Evangeline. Ignoring it and going my own way was the right decision.

But it didn’t. I hated being ignored.

Oddly enough, I didn’t seem to be immune to the sight of a child suffering. I wonder if those children are feeling the emotions I felt in my childhood… I want to think.

It was a good intention that I didn’t even become a rough-mouthed and violent person. self-satisfied good will.

I said with a firm face to the children standing in a row and looking at me.

“If you want to live, just follow me. Then at least you won’t get hurt.”

Instead of pretending to be nice and smiling, I decided to act as an object of fear.

That would be one of the quicker ways these kids could be rescued.

The total number of children following me through window 4 was 18.

In terms of appearance, it was no different from ‘The Pied Piper of Hameln’.
