Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 251

Chapter 80: Embers

We gathered together and sat down on chairs to have a proper conversation.

“… … “Then, Mr. President, tell me the whole story.”

“for a moment.”

Ospreet interrupted me.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t talk about that.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s not something students should listen to. “I’m sorry.”

Ospreet grinned as if there was nothing he could do, but as if he would never say anything.

I sighed.

‘Yes, there is plenty of time to find out.’

If you can’t decide, you can use analysis. I don’t know how well it will work against Ospreet.

“… … “Then why are Elodie and May here?”

I brought up another topic.

“Oh, that’s—”

Afterwards, Jane explained.

Elodie is said to have been here quite early.

I came here with May even before Ospreet returned. Even though Jane is under the influence of Ospreet, she is aware of the situation, so even if she has no memories of Elodie, she will be able to receive help.

“So what are you talking about?”

“I mean May.”

Elodie pointed to May sitting next to her.

“I thought about it for a moment when I heard that you wanted to tour Constel.”

While Elodie spoke like that, Ospreet was looking at May with interested eyes.

After all, if you’re at the level of Ospreet, will you be able to guess Mei’s identity at a glance? Even if that’s not the case, would you at least notice that you’re not human?

“I thought it would be better to adapt to human society since it has come to this.”

“May?”

“huh. “It’s a pity to keep living in that cabin.”

Elodie was casually stroking May’s head. May stayed still with an expression that made it impossible to tell whether she liked it or not. Well, it’s not that I don’t like it when I see it sitting still.

‘It’s pitiful.’

I don’t really intend to refute that statement, but I was a little curious.

This is the first time Elodie has seen May in this appearance. In the form of a child.

What would you think if you knew that this guy looked like a liquid monster when you first met him?

… … No, Elodie does not judge anyone based on appearances or preconceived notions. No matter what May was like, Elodie would have felt sympathy and pity for May’s situation.

It will happen.

“But of course it won’t work at our house, and the same goes for Fron’s house. I thought Constel’s dormitory might be the most appropriate. But then the problem is that it’s a roommate again… … .”

While Elodie muttered to herself and thought about it.

Jane blinked and looked back and forth between Elodie and me,

“Hey, Miss Elodie.”

“yes?”

“By Fron, do you mean Frondier?”

he asked.

Hearing that, Elodie blinked, wondering what he was talking about, and then,

“… … ?!!”

The eyes were wide open, the mouth was wide open, the shoulders were wide open and the body was lifted upward.

“Did I say that?”

“yes. You just said that. “It’s called Pron.”

“Ah, ahahahaha! I’m speechless! It’s hard to say the whole name Frontier! hahahaha, without knowing the words I’m saying for the first time in my life, ahahahahaha!”

“I see, right? “I thought it was a nickname?”

“It’s a nickname! “Why would I call Frontier a nickname!”

Elodie’s powerful appeal.

… … I have no place in this conversation. Let’s just keep quiet.

“Ah, anyway! I think a dormitory would be best! “As long as it’s on the condition that you don’t have to have a roommate!”

Elodie forced herself to continue the topic.

Ospreet shook his head at those words.

“That won’t happen, Miss Elodie.”

“Okay, President.”

“Constel’s rules are not rules that can be changed here and there depending on individual circumstances. And above all,”

Ospreet looked at May’s face.

“It’s even more suspicious that a child like that is sharing a room alone.”

“… … Yeah, right… … .”

Elodie becomes sullen. In the meantime, I’m also thinking a little bit.

… … As Elodie said, it’s a bit strange for May to remain in the cabin. Regardless of whether I felt sorry for her or not, I wanted to teach May various things from the beginning.

The devil Satan was very concerned about me being with May, but there is still no sign that anything has changed because I am with May.

I tried various tests with Mei, such as trying out various skills in the same form as me, light sparring, analyzing Mei using all my mana, and all sorts of things, but I found nothing in particular.

So my next step is to observe changes as May learns to see, hear, and learn more. In that respect, Elodie and I had the same thoughts.

“If you want to leave Elodie in the dormitory, how about coming out to the mansion and living in the dormitory? He also became May’s roommate. “Do you think it would be perfect?”

Elodie sighed at Jane’s words.

“… … I want to do that too, but my brother… … .”

“brother? Mr. Levett?”

“yes. “They said I would never live in a dormitory.”

Levette de Richae. Elodie’s older brother, Levet, is famous for his terrible love for Elodie.

Rather than being jealous of his younger sister’s exceptional talent, he promotes it extensively and praises her. It’s more cute than being hostile toward Elodie, but at this point, his overprotection goes beyond the level of a parent and child.

“Is the opposition that strong?”

“yes. “They even threaten me.”

“… … I don’t think threats will work on Miss Elodie… … ? “Are you just saying you’re going to kill me?”

“no. “They’re threatening to kill me.”

“… … aha.”

Surprisingly, this threat really works.

Because it looks like Levette is really going to die.

“There are two things my brother hates. One is me falling near him. “The other one.”

As Elodie spoke, she glanced at me as if she felt sorry for something.

I answered for you.

“I will stay close to Elodie.”

“… … “The dormitory meets both conditions.”

So that’s the problem.

Hmm. As my worries deepened, Elodie and Jane’s eyes suddenly turned to me.

“… … “How about Frontier?”

“yes?”

“Dormitory life. Frontier also goes back and forth to the mansion. “The distance must be considerable.”

Of course, it is a considerable distance. I have a car and the driver drives it himself, so I don’t feel very tired.

“How about going into the dormitory right now?”

From Noble mtl dot com

“Ah, just like Elodie, I too.”

Of course I was going to say no.

‘… … is it?’

When I thought about it, I realized there was nothing that couldn’t be done.

Originally, Ampere had nailed down the existing Frontier to prevent it from leaking anywhere other than Constel.

Dormitories were also banned as such. I’m afraid the lazy frontier won’t be able to be managed at all.

I don’t know if it was love or something, but in any case, his overprotection of Frontier was enormous.

But now.

Does Ampere still think of me that way?

“… … “Let me ask you.”

“Wow, then there is a solution.”

“I’m not sure.”

“Still.”

Jane smiled brightly. Elodie, on the other hand, looked at me with a little surprise.

“Are you planning to stay in the dormitory?”

“There’s nothing you can’t do.”

“Do you know how to cook, clean, or do various household chores? If May were your roommate, wouldn’t you have to do everything yourself?”

“Well, you can do it.”

It’s Frontier who doesn’t know how to do it, not me. All you have to do is live on your own.

“Then the remaining problem is.”

Ospreet opened his mouth.

“That’s what that kid looks like.”

… … A very strange sound came out of his mouth.

“What about your appearance?”

“yes. Anyone who sees it will know.”

I looked at May.

It looks cute. huh. The appearance of Frontier and Elodie is mixed.

“Anyone will see them as their children.”

… … .

At those words, I raised my head and looked at Elodie.

I thought for a moment and spoke to Elodie, who was glaring at me with a pouty face as if she was upset about something.

“Oh, you might think so?”

“Everyone thinks that way!!”

* * *

Since I had to get permission from the mansion first, the discussion about where May would live was postponed.

Until it is decided whether I will live in a dormitory, other families are meaningless.

At the end of the conversation, Elodie and I stood up.

“Then let’s go.”

“Congratulations on your return, President.”

After saying our goodbyes, we left the president’s office.

I’m worried about what you said about May earlier.

Hmm, and now that me, Elodie, and May are walking side by side, this is really…

“Fron, you’re not thinking strange things, are you?”

“… … “You’re calling me Pron again.”

“Well, what do you think? “Not here.”

Elodie responds in a calm and blunt manner.

I looked at her and asked.

“What are you going to do now? “Everyone must be confused in many ways.”

“I have to go back home first. “My head is already pounding, especially when I think about having to comfort my brother.”

Ha, Elodie muttered while sighing.

Levette would probably be crying right now, overcome with guilt that he had forgotten Elodie. It’s okay to say you’re in despair.

“Then May should go back to the cabin.”

“Umm, May. “It might be a little lonely, but it’ll come soon, okay?”

Elodie lowered her body to be at eye level with May. May nodded quietly.

Elodie smiled cheerfully.

“Then see you tomorrow! “Don’t forget to tell us about the dormitory!”

On the hallway stairs, Elodie waved as she left.

I waved to Elodie and walked again, exhaling lightly.

Is this roughly the end of the case? I’m concerned about how Ospreet went out into the world after casting such a spell, but since he said it’s something he can’t tell the student, let’s forget about it for now. I need rest too.

I walked down the hallway and opened the classroom door, relieved that the world was back to normal.

and,

“Welcome, Frondier.”

There was Ospreet. With Jane.

“… … .”

With the classroom door open, I took a step back, looked up, and looked at the doorplate.

‘President’s Office’.

… … Sure enough, I went out, walked down the hallway, opened the classroom, and ended up in the president’s office.

I made a rough guess and went into the president’s office and closed the door.

“Did you use space magic to call me?”

“The story isn’t over yet.”

“… … “They said it’s not something students should listen to.”

“yes. So I sent the student.”

Was that student referring to Elodie?

“What about me?”

“Why you?”

“I’m a student too.”

“ha ha ha.”

Ospreet laughed at my words. Is this funny?

“It’s right in front of my eyes. I have a comrade who fought with me. “The man who swept away the Indus and killed their leader.”

Ospreet’s eyes sparkled so brightly as he said those words that I felt as if I was seeing him in his prime.

“A man like that can’t be a student. “Keep your jokes in moderation.”

“… … Well, I wanted to hear it too. “I wonder what happened.”

I gave up and answered halfway.

Who was Ospreet running away from? No, who else would Ospreet have to run away from in the first place?

I thought that perhaps one of the gods had intervened. The story about how Ospreet can be found anywhere on the continent, and Ospreet’s actions when he had to escape from the world. All of that implied the existence of God.

“As you might have guessed, there is one among the gods who is after me.”

also.

I nodded, realizing the weight of those words.

The fact that God is targeting Ospreet means that Ospreet is very close to becoming an archmage, or has already reached the position of archmage.

Being an archmage means rising in rank as a human being in this world. Ironically, that’s why God was able to touch the body himself.

But what he said next was unexpected.

“But I haven’t become an archmage yet.”

“… … yes? then.”

“okay. “God’s hand hasn’t reached me yet.”

God is aiming for Ospreet, but he can’t reach Ospreet yet?

But Ospreet broke away from the world. There must be no good reason for that.

“God can only influence humans in this world through divine power. As I was practicing magic, I felt that I was getting very close to becoming an archmage. But at the same time, I could sense a completely new being and feel his life. “The moment I realized that, I stopped practicing magic.”

“… … That was God.”

“yes. But there was a problem.”

“What was the problem?”

“That life wasn’t just for me. That was a life for all of humanity. “It was swelling out of control, and it seemed like it would explode if there was even a slight delay.”

Those words made me realize.

The reason why Ospreet went out into the world.

“… … The president didn’t run away, but tried to observe. “To find out the identity of the murderer targeting all of humanity.”

“As expected, you’re smart.”

Ospreet smiled and nodded.

“As you said, I went out into the world to find out the exact identity of life. It’s a little funny, but in order to escape from God and contemplate the entire world at the same time, I had no choice but to fall into the lower world.”

“The world below… … .”

Ospreet laughed bitterly at my muttering.

“It’s a place called Nastrond. “There are no gods there.”

“… … It is.”

“okay. “It’s hell.”

In Norse mythology, there is a place called Helheim. The place where the mana I have acquired is originally supposed to be, the land of the dead, the afterlife ruled by Hella.

However, unlike the etymology of the word ‘hel’, which means hell, Helheim is not specifically hell.

It’s just a place where dead people go. They say it’s a bit cold, but it’s a place worth living in. However, it was only recorded in the in-game literature.

A place that can be called a true ‘hell’ in Norse mythology. That place is Nastrond. A place where people who have committed serious crimes go when they die. Here you can meet the famous dragon ‘Nidhogg’. Of course I don’t want to meet you.

“… … “You’ve survived well.”

“Of course, I was hiding in that world as well. “If the wolves there had caught you, you would have been in big trouble.”

Ospreet laughed refreshingly, hahahaha, like a young person.

“And I found out. “Living towards all of humanity, who are the gods and humans with divine power?”

“Who is it?”

“Can you guess?”

Ospreet actually asked back. I thought he was joking, but Ospreet looked at me with serious eyes.

Is this a test of me, or is the answer to this question surprisingly simple?

‘… … ‘Living for all of humanity.’

That one hint.

… … And if that’s enough of a hint to get the answer right.

I bit my lip.

“… … Mangot, is it?”

“also! “I think it would be more appropriate to say that your wisdom is wise.”

Ospreet’s exaggerated praise. But the eyes are not smiling.

Faced with the truth that I realized for myself, I can’t laugh while talking about it.

“It took a long time, but the time has come.”

“This is not a problem that can be solved within Constel.”

“of course. “This is a matter of life and death for all mankind on the continent.”

If I could put it off, I wanted to put it off until the end.

Even after recovering all the territory lost to monsters, it is okay.

No, if that clears the game, I’m satisfied with that.

“Frondier de Roach.”

But Ospreet’s heavy tone announces that the time has come.

“The sins the empire has accumulated will soon burn with fire.”

We’ve been doing it for a very long time.

It was called a fire.
