Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 48

Chapter 12 The Traitor (2)

As Malia predicted, Frontier had a gut feeling that there was a traitor among the teachers.

If you notify any of them, the criminal may find out.

Then you are in an even more dangerous situation.

That’s why I didn’t tell the teacher.

‘Was the Frontier so wise?’

This is safe enough, my son.

smart-

Then a knock was heard on the conference room door.

All the teachers looked at the door.

Who else is coming here now?

“Excuse me~ Can I come in for a moment?”

A muffled, muffled voice.

Alex expressed an uncomfortable feeling.

“Who is coming in?”

“Ah, I’m Fili Terstra~”

Phil, who?

The professors were all stunned for a moment.

Malia was the first to realize.

“Wow, open the door! hurry!”

The other teachers realized that too.

The teacher who was near the door quickly walked over and opened the door.

“Wow~ I’m so sorry for the hospitality~”

Philly came in and nodded her head.

Fair skin, lively eyes, and a warm atmosphere filled the conference room.

“Pi, Philly. How can I get to this place alone… … !”

“It’s so boring. I sneaked out.”

sneaking out

The faces of the people around him became cold.

“Don’t worry too much. It’s about protecting myself.”

The word itself is not pretentious.

Philly has enough skills on her own, and the knights who protect her are always with her.

But simply because there is such a thing as common sense.

“Phillie, I’m in trouble. The president isn’t even here right now, but if you come out like this and find yourself.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay~ I’m here because I have a proper business.”

That’s not the problem.

While the teachers wiped their sweat, Philly looked around.

Then he found Malia and smiled brightly.

“Wow, Malia! There was too.”

“… … How have you been, Philly?”

“What is it, that tone?”

“Ahahaha,” Philly laughed.

Malia was smiling too, but it was awkward.

“Okay, I can’t speak comfortably here. Let’s talk later.”

Then Philly coughed in vain.

He looked around and said.

“Everyone knows that my daughter was in danger this time, right?”

A warm atmosphere and voice that is no different from before.

However, the content was so unusual that the conference room was immediately tense.

“of course. Anyway, that’s why we’re here now… … .”

“Well, I know that. The teachers at Constell are great. I believe.”

Philly, who cares about teachers like that.

But for some reason, the minds of the teachers began to become more anxious.

“So that’s it.”

Philly’s eyes narrowed.

Those red eyes shone.

“I want to meet Renzo.”

“Wow, Empress… … !”

“Are you here? In the basement of Constell.”

After being arrested, Renzo was imprisoned in Constell.

Ironically, the place where the students are trained is much safer than the flimsy detention center.

“Yeah, yes, it’s dangerous!”

Alex stopped Philly.

Philly laughed.

“But you don’t even know who to trust now, right?”

“… … !”

There is a traitor in Constell.

Philly noticed this as well.

“Then wouldn’t it be best for me to talk?”

Philly put her hands together.

With a clearer expression.

“I’m really curious as to what I was trying to kidnap my daughter.”

* * *

I forgot about it for a while because of Renzo.

I was originally taking a practical exam.

After I woke up and came to my senses, I was worried about the results of the practical test.

Hopefully, Renzo’s intrusion won’t be annulled.

Because there were no real casualties.

Most of the students wouldn’t even have known that there was a break-in.

I was trying so hard to catch a monster, but suddenly it was invalid.

But then, this time, I’m the problem.

Because of Renzo, I couldn’t catch any monsters on the way.

So I asked Aten.

“Me and Mr. Frontier are in 16th place side by side.”

“16th place?”

It’s a weird ranking.

It’s not very high, but considering the fact that we couldn’t supply materials along the way, it’s not even low.

“Please eat.”

“Ah, thank you.”

Aten sliced the apple.

… … delicious.

“Oh, so, how are we 16th? Did you ever get a bonus for stopping Renzo?”

“No, even if I had gotten that score, it wouldn’t have made a huge difference to my rank.”

“yes?”

Aten tilted her head slightly.

Those white eyes blinked for a moment as if thinking of something.

“That person, Aster Evans.”

“yes?”

“It is said that the boss monster and all nearby monsters have been swept away.”

“… … .”

“So at that point, the top ranking is confirmed, and we say that it is the highest ranking among those below. In fact, from 15th place, we were far ahead of us.”

“… … I see.”

I always play the game as an Aster, so I don’t know how the real Aster will move during the actual game.

Normally, once the first place is confirmed, the player does not catch any more monsters.

If you eat alone too much, there is a risk that your friendship with the people around you will be diminished.

But the real Aster doesn’t care about that.

This time, I lived because of it.

“Well then.”

“yes.”

“When will I be discharged?”

Aten and I are in the hospital room together now.

I’m starting to fall in love with this hospital.

“Mr. Frontier went right before he died. Hospitalization is normal.”

“You saved everything.”

“Nevertheless.”

Aten’s return.

I didn’t even know it was possible already.

I heard that he saw his own future.

Eventually, Philly’s worries became a reality.

That reality saved me.

“Is your body okay?”

“yes. I really thought I was going to die.”

Read at noblemtl.com

Not an exaggeration.

I was prepared to die.

He saw the dangers of weaving dragon hearts too lightly.

… … Just because I knew the danger, I don’t know if I would make a different choice.

“Never again.”

“yes?”

“It was a coincidence that I succeeded in ‘reduction’. After spying on information like a momentary moment, I barely managed to do it. And I don’t have the confidence to see the future, and I don’t know how.”

Aten, like Philly, is a descendant of Bala.

The blood fades as the generations pass.

Just like Philly isn’t a proper foresight.

It was pure coincidence that Aten saw his future.

Aten clasped the skirt above her knees with both hands.

“… … I can’t afford to save you next time. So, please.”

“don’t worry. Now I can’t because I’m afraid.”

It really is.

It is a miracle that Aten succeeded in giving back at this time.

I don’t want to do such a dangerous thing again.

“… … You don’t know how scared I was.”

“yes?”

“How scared I was. I’m afraid I’ll lose you-“

quiver-

Then the door to the hospital room opened.

I wondered if the doctor had come, but a strange man came in.

The man in a suit bowed his head politely to me.

“Excuse me. Mr. Frontier, right?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“My name is Detective Robert, who is in charge of the investigation of this case.”

“A case?”

“About the allegations and the full story of the attempted kidnapping of Princess Aten.”

That’s right, is it listening to ejaculation?

I nodded, and Robert brought the chair forward and sat down next to me.

He took out his notebook.

“I heard that Mr. Frontier found Renzo first, but where was it?”

Atten’s words made Aten nervous.

To say that I found Renzo in advance and succeeded in responding to it in the first place is a lie I guessed in advance.

If the investigation continues, it could be revealed.

but.

“Mr Frontier? Where was your location?”

I laughed when I saw Robert, who was acting quite skillfully.

“… … Robert, did you say?”

“Yes.”

“I am not a detective.”

Unfortunately I know who Robert is.

The suit doesn’t really fit.

“… … If not a detective, why am I doing this?”

“It must be Philly’s order.”

At my words, Robert’s eyes widened.

I said, pretending to scan Robert’s whole body.

“You can see it here too. Calluses in the hands, hardened muscles that are difficult to hide even with a suit. When he came, he tried hard to look natural, but when he bowed his head at me, he got into a habit.”

“… … .”

“You are an imperial knight under Mr. Philly. Right?”

I literally said nothing.

Calluses and muscles, you know what.

I already know that Robert is one of Philly’s knights.

He uttered the right words to explain how he found out.

I saw it in the game, I can’t say anything like that.

“… … It’s amazing.”

Robert nodded in candid admiration.

If you know the answer, the solution only needs to sound plausible.

Robert hardened his expression.

“However, you treat the Empress with a very light title. Be careful next time.”

“Excuse me.”

this. Without realizing it, the word “Mr. Philly” stuck in my mouth.

I will take care in the future.

“But it wasn’t the Empress’s order. I came to Mr. Frontier with my own will. That’s why I wanted to hide my identity. I apologize.”

Robert nodded again.

He’s a very polite person.

“it’s okay.”

“I don’t need to hide it, so it’s easy to talk about it. I have a question for Mr. Frontier, who has fought Renzo himself.”

“What? I don’t have much to answer for.”

How did you cut Renzo’s arm?

Even if you ask me, I can’t answer that.

That’s probably what I’m most curious about.

“Renzo approached you and Aten without anyone noticing. Do you think it would be possible for him to do such a thing on his own?”

I thought for a moment.

Renzo’s actions and lines at that time.

I shook my head.

“It would be impossible.”

Renzo’s stealth skills were excellent.

It came so close that Aten and I did not notice.

However, he contracted Menosorphosis.

In the first place, Menosorpo is not a magic circle for the purpose of security, so it is difficult to think that Renzo broke through other crime prevention facilities alone.

“Then, do you think there is an accomplice?”

“Yes. in the constellation.”

“… … It is, too.”

What do you mean by saying this?

I know the accomplice, the traitor in Constell.

But that’s not what’s important.

If you are preoccupied with finding the traitor, your investigation runs the risk of going to the mountains.

“… … Mr. Robert is the knight of His Majesty Philly.”

“That’s right.”

“I have something to tell you.”

“What?”

“There is one more.”

Robert blinked briefly at my words.

Then his face became serious in an instant.

“… … Is there another accomplice?”

“Renzo said he was paid a decent amount for this job.”

Renzo has an employer.

The traitor in Constell must also have betrayed him because someone encouraged him to betray him.

Or, infiltrated the spy in Constell from the beginning.

In other words, there is a third person who hires Renzo and at the same time creates a traitor within Constell.

“… … Mr. Frontier, I don’t want to ask, but I have no choice but to ask.”

“What?”

“To tell it to me and to His Majesty, that is.”

“Yes.”

I nodded my head softly.

“I believe the person is from the royal family.”
