Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 105

Chapter 31 Rumors (3)

Pascal was staying in his mansion. He was leaning against the window and talking to someone.

“Your information is wrong!”

Pascal exclaimed. He felt anger in a long time.

[sorry. I thought it was highly reliable information in its own way.]

In front of Pascal, a crow was making fun of its snout.

“It’s an illusion… … .”

Pascal could not understand, but he understood.

When he had a light (?) match with Frontier, Frontier definitely hit his aura.

But that wasn’t the Frontier releasing the Auror. I don’t know what he slashed, but unlike the Aurors, I couldn’t see it at all.

‘It was a strange technique.’

It was invisible, but considering the distance from the frontier at the time the auror was deflected, the range is not small.

I’m not sure because it’s an Auror’s sense, but it felt like ‘metal’. Then another sword? or a shield? Are you using the weapon’s invisibility magic?

“Next time, bring the right information. That’s why I’m connecting with you guys.”

[of course. We, Indus, will always move for mutual benefit with Pascal.]

“You speak well.”

Although Pascal gave him a pin, he mostly trusted the information the crow gave him.

In particular, the information about the articles is reliable. When a crow asked for information about the knights who committed the problem, the knight was either caught or fled.

Pascal didn’t care what happened to the other knights in the palace. Without it, it would have been fine. Because competitors within the Imperial Palace disappear.

His only goal is to become the empress’s escort.

[Then please also ask for the following information. Please do your best to ‘verify’.]

“okay. I don’t know why the Indus is doing this.”

[We are just trying to uncover the lies and reveal the truth. The more the dark side of the palace is peeled off, the easier it will be for Pascal to climb.]

Is it really for the common people?

I don’t know why the Indus, who said it was for the common people, approached him. As long as you provide information, it will be useful.

“okay. Stop it.”

Pascal bit the crow with a gesture. Whoops-! The crow suddenly returned to that of a flying beast and disappeared with a cry.

“Uh-huh, I almost would have hurt the student.”

Pascal muttering like that.

But a different crow flew through the window.

The crow had a piece of paper in its mouth.

“What is this?”

[This is our Indus business card. I brought it because I wanted to build a close relationship with Pascal in the future.]

“Business card… … ?”

Pascal took the paper and looked at it.

* * *

I asked Aten for help to meet with Empress Fili.

It was absurd to try to meet the Empress in this way, but it had to be done because the matter was a matter.

But before I met Philly, I had a few minor problems.

“Selena. I have something to investigate today. Go back first.”

I said to Selena, who was standing still next to me.

Selena said in a voice that seemed full of loyalty.

“Where Frontier-sama is is where I will be. Anytime, anywhere, I will be there to protect Frontier-sama.”

… … ha.

As I feel these days, Selena is a victim of indoctrination.

I don’t know what Mangot taught or how, but the expressions and dialogues were perfect, but there was no back and forth at all.

‘If Selena intervenes, the story only gets complicated.’

I thought about it for a while, but there really was no such thing.

To be honest, that would have been the case.

“Okay then, stay by my side. The Empress Dowager will be here soon.”

“… … If you tell me to tell the Empress, the only Empress of the Terst Empire, Philly Terre,”

“long. And it is correct.”

Selena shut her mouth at my answer.

After a moment’s silence, Selena bowed politely.

“If Your Majesty is by your side, there is no need for me to be there. I will follow your orders.”

“… … okay.”

I wanted to tease you a little, but I got bored and quit. As soon as she heard my answer, Selena disappeared in an instant. It was almost like running away, no, it was just running away.

For some reason, Selena is very afraid of powerful people.

Boo-woong-

As I waited in front of the school gate, a sedan stood in front of me. It was a completely different car from the last time I saw it. I heard that the cars change periodically to avoid the attention of those around you.

“I’m sorry, Philly. There’s something really important, so I’m going to… … .”

I said hastily in front of the car window going down.

and saw

“… … What did you just say?”

A sharply forged sword-like gaze, a sharp-looking, handsome man was staring at me.

… … It was Aji

“Frondier, I just called your Highness ‘Mr. Philly’,”

“Ah, Frontier. It’s been a while. Did you have a good vacation?”

Philly, who was sitting next to me, looked at me and waved my hand. And looking at Atji, he said a word.

“It’s okay, because I allowed it.”

“Are you saying you allowed me to call you ‘Mr. Philly’?”

“yes. ’cause you deserve it Frontier, you can sit in the front passenger seat.”

I walked over to Philly’s words and got into the passenger seat.

… … I can feel Atji’s eyes burning from behind. No, rather than blazing, it feels like I’m stabbing the back of the head with my eyes like an awl.

“Frondier, I will ask you again about what you just said. You’ll have to come up with the right answer to convince me.”

“No. Did I say I allowed it? If you blame Frontier for nothing, you will know that you have ignored me.”

Atzier stares at me, Philly defends me. In the flow of that conversation, I didn’t say a word.

Because if I said something wrong, I really thought I would die.

“So, Frontier, what did you call me for? Even if it wasn’t a big deal, no matter how broad-minded I was, he wouldn’t forgive me.”

Philly changed the subject. It was truly a tearful caring.

“… … The Empress Dowager may,”

“Call me Philly. It’s always been like that.”

“… … .”

I looked at Philly in the rearview mirror. Philly smiled softly. It felt very good.

“… … Maybe about an article called Pascal,”

“Call me, Philly.”

The tactic of just going through it didn’t work either.

“… … Philly, do you know of an article called Pascal?”

“sure. I know. A promising knight in the Imperial Palace, I don’t know? I also know that I work as a teacher at Constell.”

Philly’s voice, which seemed to be very satisfied, was full of kindness.

Atjie, who was next to him, closed his eyes deeply and sighed.

For now, let’s try not to worry about Atjie even by force.

“Well, that Pascal knows I’m writing an auror.”

“Hmmmm, right?”

“I don’t know exactly where or how this rumor spread, but I don’t think Pascal would have believed it without any basis. It was a convincing lie. When you think about it that way, there must be a reason behind that rumor.”

“Wait a minute, Frontier.”

Then Philly stopped me. She tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.

“Why is that a rumor?”

“… … Yes?”

“yes?”

Something doesn’t match the focus of the conversation. Me and Philly looked at each other with similar expressions.

Then, soon after, Philly opened her eyes wide as if she had realized something great.

“Frondier, don’t you know how to use an auror?”

“… … Yes. That’s right.”

As I affirmed, Philly opened her mouth more astonished.

“No, then how, what have you done so far… … ?”

Philly omits detailed explanations, even though she is surprised. Things like Renzo or Chimera. Thanks again for that consideration.

“It’s hard to say, but I don’t know how to write an auror.”

“… … Oh my gosh.”

Philly paused for a moment as if thinking about something. Meanwhile, Atjie was talking to me with his eyes, ‘What the hell are you doing?’

“──Well, I get it first. So what’s behind it?”

“I can guess who is behind it.”

“Is the force behind that huge enough to call me?”

Philly’s question had a bone.

From what I’ve heard so far, it would seem like I’d come up with a personal problem and whine to the imperial Empress Philly to solve it.

It’s not really that bad, but there’s one other thing.

“I think it’s the work of a guy named ‘Gregory’… … .”

I told Philly the stories I had researched and guessed. Philly listened to my story and after a moment’s silence, she opened her mouth.

“That guy named Gregory is talking about Constell. Through information obtained through spying.”

“Yes. In Constell and in the Imperial Palace.”

“… … How much do you know? Frontier?”

Philly, who had guessed what I meant, asked in disbelief.

Yes. A travelogue by articles that have been occurring recently. Given that it occurs simultaneously and causes commotion, this also has nothing to do with Gregory.

… … But actually, I’m not saying I’m bragging about this. Because it’s the fact that the sub quest told me.

Philly said, narrowing her eyes.

“But to spread a lot of rumors, you have to reach a lot of people. Even for influential people. How is Gregory leaking information to them? And why do they believe Gregory and spread rumors?”

Gregory usually takes the form of a ‘crow’ when approaching others.

It would be difficult for anyone to believe without a doubt what the crows say. Why did they believe Gregory’s words?

I also knew the answer to this.

“Gregory is a former member of the ‘Indus’.”

“… … !”

Philly’s expression changed.

On the surface, Indus is an organization that works to improve the rights and interests of the common people. This is the organization to which Serp Daniel and Gregory, who were targeting me, belonged.

However, since Serp died and Indus succeeded in cutting off his tail, very few people are aware of the darkness of Indus yet.

Of course, Philly is included among the extremely rare people who know the darkness.

“Gregory was expelled from the Indus after being caught by the police for sympathizing with the crime. But the general public is not aware of it. That’s what cutting off the tail is like in the first place.”

“… … In other words, Gregory was kicked out of the Indus and still pretending to be the Indus?”

“It is very likely. After borrowing the name of the Indus and gaining trust from the main characters, it seems that all kinds of rumors are circulating. They may be skeptical at first, but when Gregory’s words turn out to be true, they too will begin to believe Gregory.”

“What is Gregory’s purpose?”

“… … I still don’t know for sure. I think they are planning an escape.”

I understand that Gregory is trying to make a fuss.

If he borrows the name of Indus and spreads all the rumors he has collected so far, of course, the image of Indus will be damaged.

The police are still moving to investigate the crimes of the knights, and Indus is moving to restore its image.

… … However, it is hard for me to imagine whether the commotion made by rumors will become so big. Maybe it’s just going to be a little noisy.

“As long as Gregory is running like this, the Indus won’t stand still. I can only guess that Gregory is aiming for that gap.”

“okay. Not bad.”

Also Philly. Investigation is fast

I nodded and said.

“But the information I got did not confirm why the knights were committing the crime. Once you know that, you will get a clue… … .”

That was then. A bell was heard from somewhere. It was the seat next to me, the driver’s side.

“I’m sorry, can I take it?”

“That’s right.”

Philly said he didn’t care. The driver took out the sage phone and took it to his ear. and,

Boo-woong-

The speed of the car was staggeringly fast. The speed of the car, which was slowly rising, became something that could not be ignored.

I looked at the driver.

“… … Hey.”

The moment I uttered a soft voice, the driver steered the steering wheel. Continued acceleration, unstoppable acceleration, guard rails in front of them, and a cliff that knows no bottom.

Aww!!

The sedan hit a guard rail and soared into the air.
