Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 49

Chapter 12 The Traitor (3)

Deep underground in Obsidian.

In a room lit by a feeble torch.

Philly Terst, accompanied by two knights, appeared in front of him.

“It is dangerous to stay too long.”

“I know.”

Philly responded with a smile to the man standing in front of the door.

Philly opened the door and stepped inside with the knights.

“Hello.”

Philly greeted the man in front of him as usual.

“… … Lay down?”

The man who answered was Renzo.

“Do you like food? Do you have any discomfort?”

“… … Who are you?”

Renzo looked at Philly with a displeased expression.

For a brief moment, Philly turned to Renzo’s right hand.

His right arm is no longer there.

Moment.

“… … Do you want to follow?”

Renzo’s life sharply stabbed Philly.

Renzo saw that momentary eye movement.

But Philly was still smiling with a warm smile.

“No, no. Could it be?”

“This crazy bastard… … .”

Renzo stood up.

He had no restraints.

Two knights blocked the trudging steps.

however.

“Shut up. both.”

“Phi, Philly!”

The two knights were bewildered by Philly’s words.

Philly said without a single expression on her face.

“No, can you two just leave? I want to have an honest conversation with this person here.”

“Huh, but.”

“Don’t go behind the scenes.”

Philly widened that smile as she read the article.

“I gave the order. Don’t you understand?”

“… … !”

Then the two backed away in front of Philly, walked slowly and opened the door.

After watching Philly’s back anxiously, the two walked out of the room.

“Four years, have you really lost your cowardice?”

“Well, Renzo-san.”

“what?”

“Stop barking.”

At that time, Renzo’s patience seemed to have been cut off.

“Wow,” he said, grabbing Philly’s neck with his hand in an instant.

“Hey, you crazy b*tch, you dare… … !”

As if he couldn’t overcome his anger, blood stood out in his eyes, and tendons grew on his forehead.

But never broke Philly’s neck.

As Renzo loosened his hand, Philly straightened his messy outfit.

“I’m not stupid either.”

At Philly’s words, Renzo grunted and sharpened his teeth, but he couldn’t do anything.

“If you end your life in a place like this, it would be a very ‘fun’ day.”

“… … Four years, I don’t know what kind of bullshit you’ve been hearing.”

“You knew from the beginning that I was the Empress, didn’t you? What will happen if you kill me, who is above here.”

Philly read Renzo’s expression as he continued provoking like that.

A little confidence that comes from that expression.

‘… … The standard of life is only ‘fun’. That’s what it really was.’

Philly heard Frontier’s words from one of his knights, Robert.

The first was about being careful of the Imperial Palace, and the second was about Renzo.

Frontier told us about Renzo’s temperament.

A hedonist who prioritizes ‘fun’ over good and evil, right and wrong, damage and gain.

Frontier, the more you think about it, the more bizarre you are.

The fact that she treated herself as the Empress casually, that she knew about Dragon Heart, and that she blew out Renzo’s right arm.

In addition, he knows exactly what the keynote of the character Renzo is.

‘I’ve never seen anyone so hedonistic.’

Philly was convinced that Renzo wouldn’t be able to do something about him.

If he had been a madman looking only for fun, he would have become the dew of the prison officer earlier.

No matter how strong his skills are, an individual cannot defeat the country.

Not to mention, Renzo has only risen to the ‘strongest class’, and is not a child-only zone that differs from them.

No matter how much he acts like a fighter,

Even if you look like a person who doesn’t know how to waste one’s life for fun.

There is a clear reason for the fact that he has been living in good condition until now.

‘Well, now the limbs are not intact.’

I never thought I would lose an arm because of a student.

I would have believed you wouldn’t get hurt.

“Then, now that you don’t seem to know the location relationship, shall we have a more proper conversation? Sit there.”

At Philly’s words, Renzo’s life did not soften, but he staggered around and sat back down.

Philly sat across from him.

“So, what is the Empress to do?”

“There is something I want to ask you first.”

Philly looked at Renzo’s empty right side and asked.

“How did that arm fly away?”

“It really bothers me. you know The student here did this.”

“I’m not asking that, ‘how’ did that student blow that right arm?”

Philly is well aware of Renzo’s strength.

Compared to ‘Eden Hamerlot’ among pros, he said that if he wasn’t a criminal, he would be able to occupy a place in the ‘Zodiac’.

‘Zodiac’ refers to the 12 human weapons designated by the state.

Here, the general of Constell, ‘Osprit’ is also a member of the Zodiac.

Or ‘Zodiac Heldre’, who participated in the nobility meeting during the Mystiltein incident.

Of course, there are other powerful people in the Empire besides the Zodiac.

A typical example is the northern iron wall, ‘Ampere de Roach’.

The reason Ampere is not the Zodiac is that the Zodiac must always be under the direct orders of the Empire.

Ampere just hated it.

In any case, Renzo’s body also easily surpassed the category of ordinary people.

Even if he doesn’t use an auror, a clumsy sword won’t even scratch that muscle.

But Frontier did it.

Renzo clenched his chin and seemed to remember something unpleasantly, then muttered softly.

“I do not know.”

“… … Don’t you know?”

“Literally.”

Renzo just said so.

there is nothing behind it

Philly laughed.

“Huh? After all, if you ask an eyewitness, you know everything, right?”

“… … I don’t know.”

Renzo clicked his tongue and repeated the same words.

Philly had seen Renzo’s real expression a while ago.

I read signs of true anger, embarrassment, and resignation.

And based on that, as a result of reading the present answer,

‘… … I don’t think it’s a lie.’

I really don’t know.

what kind of attack you have been subjected to.

‘What happened in that fight?’

Renzo said he would find out if he asked the witness, but in fact Philly had already asked the witness.

As for the witnesses, there was only one daughter, Aten.

But Aten’s answer was similar.

-I do not know. Whatever Frontier must have done, Renzo’s right arm suddenly flew away. At least that’s how it looked to me.

At the time, when I heard this, I thought that Aten was far away so I couldn’t see it properly.

But neither party knows.

‘Well, think about that later.’

Philly brought it up.

“So, why did you kidnap my daughter?”

“… … .”

“The one in front of you is the mother of the girl who tried to kidnap you. It’s up to me to decide if your neck isn’t blown away, right?”

After that smile, Renzo clicked his tongue,

“Isn’t it obvious? Because that would be fun.”

“What about kidnapping the princess?”

“okay. lets think. The empire will be turned upside down and there will be chaos. Everyone’s going to be desperate to catch me, and the thought of it gives me chills.”

Philly looked at Renzo’s face again.

‘lie.’

Nothing to think about

The current Renzo is here because his kidnapping failed in the end, but he would have succeeded originally.

Success was normal.

After entering the field without being noticed by anyone, we reached a place where Aten and one student were alone.

There was no way it could fail.

But even if you succeed, what will you gain?

What’s the benefit of turning against the enemy of the Empire?

Aten Terst is the third princess.

Although the name has symbolic meaning, from the point of view of the empire, it is not worth it.

Renzo has nothing to gain by kidnapping Aten.

The Empire doesn’t trade for one Atten.

In order to save Aten, he desperately tries to find and kill Renzo.

Such is the life of a princess.

He pulls out his sword to save him, but does not reach out his hand.

As a result, even if the princess herself dies.

‘In other words, the purpose is not to make a deal after kidnapping the princess. The kidnapping had a purpose in itself.’

──Beware of the Imperial Palace.

Frontier’s advice somehow never left my head.

“Well, fine. I’ll come back later. If you feel uncomfortable sleeping or eating, please tell me.”

Philly stood up without hesitation.

There is no convincing information at this time.

To Philly, who turned his back like that, Renzo said.

“You know you’re smart, don’t you?”

It was somewhat like a loser’s sarcastic sarcasm,

It sounded like the usual exit line when running away,

It sounded like a curse from a coward.

However, an unpleasant ringing lingers in Philly’s ears.

“Think about it with that clever brain.”

“… … What?”

“I am just a small beginning.”

At that time, Renzo was smiling.

It was a provocative, cheeky smile.

“The empire will be turned upside down.”

emptiness.

“The imperial palace will burn, the people will scream, and a great earthquake like never before will tear the empire in two.”

exit ambassador.

“Then, I want to see how your cheeky face will change. A face squashed by his own foolishness.”

──Curse.

“… … ha.”

Philly sighed.

“See you later if you want to. Even the severed neck has eyes.”

at the end of that word.

Philly left the room.

* * *

Retirement was soon.

In the first place, Aten made a full recovery.

I soon returned to Constell.

Aster, Cybel, and Elodie were worried about me who had not been there for a few days, but they surrounded me in moderation.

I was very concerned that Cybel and Elodie had sad expressions again.

and.

“… … Yes?”

Aten asked blankly.

I said.

“So, you don’t have to follow me now.”

“What… … .”

Atten says he doesn’t understand.

I scratched my head.

Well, it’s also my fault for not telling you this.

He must have gotten used to Aten following me.

“The reason you followed me was because of ‘Dragon Heart’.”

“… … !”

“I told the Empress everything about Dragon Heart, so there is no need for that anymore.”

Aten is undoubtedly a spy sent by Philly to me for information.

… … No, is it too dismal to say that I am a spy?

I was going to send it to Constell anyway, so it would be best to get information about Dragon Heart from my class if at all possible, and if at all possible.

It must feel like this

But last time I told Philly all the information about Dragon Heart.

Aten doesn’t have to follow me the hard way anymore.

The gaze and gossip of the people around her must have been quite stressful for her as well.

It’s called freedom.

“Now you know? From now on, you can live your life here the way you want. I make friends too.”

“… … okay. You knew everything.”

“Well, because it was so weird.”

The Imperial Princess chases after the boy she first saw.

No matter how you look at it, it’s strange

“Well then, I have to go eat.”

Aten may look cold, but after a few words of conversation, it is immediately evident that he is dignified and humble.

I’ll make friends soon too.

If I’m there, it’s just a hindrance.

‘It’s comfortable because I don’t have to worry about it either.’

Hopefully, the relationship with Aster can be restored.

The magic that Philly casts isn’t that strong.

This is what win-win is all about.

I walked towards the restaurant with an empty mind.

… … I walked

“… … There it is.”

“yes.”

An answer came from behind without question.

Aten is still behind me.

still chasing me

“Hey, you don’t need to chase me now, do you? Enjoy your school life the way you like it.”

“It is.”

Aten said with that indifferent expression.

“You told me to do whatever I want, and I’m doing it.”

What does this mean?

Since when did following me become what Aten wanted to do?

I tilted my head, thought hard, and asked because I couldn’t do it.

“… … why?”

At my question, Aten blinked for a moment, then looked down, looked to the side, and looked to the ceiling.

… … It seems that you need to think very deeply.

Then came the answer.

“… … I do not know.”

“… … .”

what is this

Is it bothering you too?

Are you saying that my last thought was correct?

But Aten seemed to be thinking deeply about something, and looked at me with a serious expression.

“Mr. Frontier.”

“yes?”

“I am not strange.”

“Uh, what?”

“Mr. Frontier said it was too strange, but I am not.”

Oh, that’s what I said a while ago.

“Oh, that doesn’t mean you’re weird.”

“Yes. I know.”

“Oh yeah?”

Then why?

Aten murmured as if something was not being explained well, then said to me with that worried expression.

“I am not strange.”

“Yeah, so-”

“no.”

Aten interrupted me.

It was probably the first time.

That’s how Aten’s words began.

“I am following Mr. Frontier.”

as if a dam broke.

“What I would like to do,”

like you can’t control it.

“Things that we still don’t know why, everything.”

As if throwing out all of Aten’s sincerity in words.

“It’s not all that strange.”

poured towards me

“… … .”

I couldn’t answer for a moment.

Aten gave strength to her lips after saying that.

He seemed concerned about whether his words were conveyed properly.

“… … okay. Do whatever you feel like.”

I answered.

In the end, I don’t know why I’m chasing you.

As I said, I don’t know why.

In the end, I didn’t even know why I allowed her to follow me.

“yes.”

In that brief reply, her small smile bloomed.
