149 – Saint Psyche (5)
Ecliptic. Crow Fay Guild Headquarters.
With the deaths of Nicolseta Heisman and Kaeran Heath, the plan to relocate to Mystic Island was put to nothing, and only the lion emblem symbolizing the empire fluttered here.
-Turn around and go.
And investigators dispatched from the imperial family were controlling the access of ordinary people.
-What happened?
-I heard you tried to rebel by joining hands with the demons…
– In this situation??
-Crazy, crazy.

Regilus’ office.
– Bass Rock!
Regilus, who received a search warrant bearing the imperial seal, crushed his teeth as hard as he could.
Then he threw it in Sera’s face and said.
“Yellow D, Yellow D Latasia… What happened now!”
“No contact.”
“What?!”
“… We are out of contact.”
She was her last hope.
Unexpected things have happened over the past few days.
First of all, the Beast summoned by Yellowdy, the Three-Headed Dog, broke through earlier than expected,
Here, the Heisman family’s ugliness was sacrificed,
This acted as a trigger, and Kaeran Heath’s mage tower operation was blocked.
As the Mage Tower became unstable, Marcosias’ large army could not even set foot on Mystic Island,
Even he, the Prime Evil, lost his life and returned to Pandaemonium.
So, the only contact I had left was Latasia, Yellowy.
“Then, where the hell! Where did you go!!! What are we going to do in this situation!”
Regilus started to run wild, but Sera had a rather peaceful expression.
“Heisman, is there any sign of the Heisman family?!”
“Due to Nicolsetta’s minecraft case, it seems that his brother Macleod Heisman has gone into hiding, and the rest are under investigation. Even related families.”
“Kaeran, Kaeran’s… In the family?”
Heath, the family that took in her orphan Kaeran.
Under the direct control of the imperial family, he only carries out secret missions,
In the first place, the name Heath is a family so mysterious that some say it is a pseudonym.
“… He says he cut himself off after losing the Clarisse Ranked Play.”
“Ha ha ha… “
‘I was properly scammed… ‘
Regilus looked up at the ceiling and laughed, then put his hands on Sera’s shoulders.
“Sera, tell me. Do you think this makes sense?!”
“… “
“Lev Denek? Only one little boy Does it make sense that this huge plan goes awry because of that one guy!!”
“… Please fix it.”
“Do I look real now? Uh? If you had recruited that lesser bastard well in the first place… “
“It’s ugly. You.”
“…… What?”
Unlike Regilus, Sera was calm.
She continued her speech in a calm tone.
“It is true that I did not fulfill my calling, but are you not the same?”
“Sarah, you. Are you crazy?!”
“The essence of the jet-black armor, the ring of imprint left by the Lord of Pleasure. You never went out on your own because you couldn’t find anything.”
“This year… !”
“It’s pitiful… I mean.”
Regilus’s hand went up.
And the moment you try to run over her,
– Tup!
Someone grabbed his forearm.
“Senior. Long time no see?”
“You…You?!”
“It’s already heavy, but let’s not add more guilt.”
Strong body, cool face. It was Dustin, a war hero dispatched from the imperial family.
“It looks good. Inspirational.”
“What…?!”
And at the door was Archmage Scarlett.
She said something in a spirited way.
“So you should have managed your subordinates well. That woman confided everything.”
“… “
She pointed to Sarah Cervantes with a serious expression.

The fact that the large guild [Crow Pay] And the prestigious family [Heisman] Tried to collude with the demons spread even to Claris Academy.
– Did you hear? You know that large monster dog that appeared in this screening test… All intentional transactions.
-You mean it’s an act of demons?
-Yes… Ji? I don’t know exactly, but there is a story that Crow Fay tried to activate the magic tower.
-Ah, so that’s why you’re investigating…
-In the meantime, Macleed Heisman disappeared?
-No matter how much you are the chairperson of the Assistant Magic Department… What kind of mug will you go with?
– Indeed.
When the cadets walking around the academy start talking about this incident,
Likewise, after the lecture, the pure white girl, Yeriel, was walking around the campus alone.
[Lecture Schedule]
[Grade A, Lev Deneck]
‘… ‘
-… Lev, show me the course registration.
-… I’ll hear it all… ? I don’t think you’re overdoing it.
-I decided not to leave Lev alone… So this time I’m going to do it my way…
The timetable for the two of them, which he set up first by using a group.
It has lost its significance now.
Because he is no more.
‘Rev.’
Rev. Rev.
I swallow his name in my heart.
It won’t be easy to get used to, but you have to adapt somehow.
In the end, it could be seen that he sacrificed himself for everyone.
If I hadn’t followed him to Area 3, Mystic Island would have become a base for demons.
Perhaps, everyone could have faced the worst ending as they were trapped in the barrier.
‘For saving everyone… Thanks.’
Another thing that was really fortunate for Yeriel was something else.
It was the fact that I completely cut ties with the Heisman family.
If you don’t like Lev…
Perhaps Artina had a wedding talk with the Heisman family, which would have aroused suspicion from the imperial family.
Her own mother, who is always looked down upon as her concubine and whose position is insecure… It might have been greatly shaken by this incident.
It must have worked out well in many ways,
Even so…
‘Lev, I… It’s fine.’
The circular train platform without him… It was so lonely.
“Yes. It’ll be fine… “
Unable to complete her words, Yeriel sobbed quietly.

Pandemonium, intro.
The vast red land.
Among the winding rocks, goblin-type guys who seem to be low-level demons are doing unknown labor,
Orcs in rusted armor roam around and watch over them.
It’s dark around and there are many rocks, so it’s not easy to spot,
– Pibbing!
You can’t avoid all eyes.
-Fajik!
My windbreaker penetrated his green skin between his armor.
Because I aimed at the guy’s neck, he couldn’t say anything and just went round and round before collapsing.
The extra technique obtained when the crossbow proficiency reached 9 was [Mute].
In other words, there is no sound.
‘Yeriel, Arya.’
Thinking of those two,
I immediately looked behind me and gave instructions.
“Now. This way.”
“Now, wait… Hold on!”
“Shh!”
I put my hand over her mouth and pulled her body.
“!”
She was as slender as Yeriel or Arya, so she was easily dragged along.
“Senior, how are the surroundings?”
“How thick? It’s okay if you turn east and west.”
Too much delay.
Of course, when Psyche is resurrected, it would be best to return immediately with the teleportation technique, but
It couldn’t have been.
As Arya awakened, her powers were divided,
In order to successfully move through space, I had to find the outskirts where the magic of the demons did not reach as much as possible, or under the lamp.
“Ha ha ha. Sorry. I’m still not used to controlling my body… “
Her wrists and ankles were thin, and she was breathing heavily as she looked at me.
‘It’s a big deal.’
Maybe because of the long sleep, Psyche’s condition didn’t look good.
“It’s okay. Take a break.”
I went up to her and handed her some water.
.
.
.
‘How could this… ?’
The gray man’s luggage seemed enchanted.
Of course, there must be an expansion magic that can put various things in it, but…
Water, food, potions, even simple traps.
Depending on the time, what you need comes right away.
As if he had predicted everything.
“… “
I can still feel the warmth of the wrist he pulled as he pulled me up on the rocks.
‘Is your purpose really just to pick me up?’
If it wasn’t for him, Psyche who lost her power might have become a plaything for demons.
‘… If so… You probably won’t even be able to do Kroon’s request… ‘
Psyche studied the face of the man who would become her benefactor.
His sharp eyes seemed to represent his personality.
-!
In an instant, our eyes met as he drank the water.
-?
He raised his eyebrows as if asking why.
“… “
Originally, a saintess has a strong image as an agent of God, and those who worship her are uncomfortable making eye contact, let alone skinship.
But he feels like a stranger who doesn’t know he’s a saint.
-Psyche, this way!
‘Maybe even more than Kroon… ‘
It was a familiar feeling that I felt after a long time.
Anyway, the request he presented to Psyche is that he also return to the empire.
This shouldn’t be too difficult.
First of all, the space movement magic she uses is a bit different from her normal magic.
As a [Miracle of Rest], It is classified as a divine revelation that consumes divine power and returns to the sanctuary.
Therefore, if he is a human and not a demon, there is no problem in going back together.
However, isn’t the situation too contrived?
-Psyche, a saint should cherish her body… There are many people who are looking for it.
While Psyche is thinking about Kroon’s advice…
“Um~. You seem to be almost there?”
The gray man’s mouth opened once more at the demon girl’s words.
“Let’s try our best. If you go over one hill from here, you will be on the outskirts, so I think you can use divine magic.”
“… “
“Saintess?”
“Ah. Yes.”
“May I leave?”
“Ah, that… “
At this rate, I would end up getting caught up in the man’s pace.
Your wrists will be pulled again.
‘My successor… It is a power that must be conveyed to Arya… ‘
So, Psyche mustered up the courage to speak.
“That… ! I’d like you to let me know now. Why are you two here?!”
She is a saint.
If by any chance these people are lying, it’s enough to notice.
