Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy chapter 249

249 – On Sight (3)

“······?”

Piel looked up at Theo.

His appearance is a little different from usual. He looked like he was doing something difficult, and was enduring something intensely.

Moreover, he gives eyes to himself and takes them off.

Piel tilted his head.

“Do you have anything to say? Are you sick?”

Theo answered slowly.

“······It’s nothing.”

“Then I’m glad. If you are in an uncomfortable place, please tell me. “Because my room is over there.”

Piel pointed to Theo’s right with his finger. Her finger was pointing precisely at the door next to Theo.

Theo said.

“······I understand. “Anyway, what’s going on?”

“I just wanted to let you know that dinner is ready.”

“Hmm… I guess so.”

It was a strange situation. It was too strange to just ignore.

‘What’s strange?’

Theo thought deeply for a moment and finally opened his mouth.

“Piel, why did you come in person? “Isn’t this kind of work done by servants or deacons?”

“······Uh.”

Piel was speechless.

Piel felt Theo’s eyes looking at him with her mysterious eyes.

‘You have to say something…!’

She didn’t want to give Theo a sinister impression for no reason.

In the midst of Piel’s confusion, she answered after choosing the ‘least’ good excuse that came to her mind.

“Ah, ah ah. That? Aunt Kula asked me to do it. Please tell me instead. Ahahahahaha… I guess something happened to make you busy.”

Of course, the subject was reversed. It was not that Theo’s deacon, Kula, had asked her to do so, but she herself had asked Kula that she would speak directly.

“······I see.”

Theo looked at Piel intently. She was an awkwardly smiling Piel that he had never seen before.

The feeling of discomfort became more intense, but it wasn’t a matter of arguing about right or wrong.

‘I guess I’ll have to look into it later if I feel uncomfortable.’

Theo nodded to Piel.

“I understand. It seems like the story has gotten longer. “Then let’s go to dinner.”

“Yes, yes! The story was too long. “Let’s go!”

When Theo was heading to dinner, following Piel, who was unusually loud.

Burr, burr──

The communication crystal ball I kept in my arms vibrated. A call has arrived.

‘Who is it?’

I have no place to contact you…

Piel also felt the vibration and told Theo.

“What? “I thought you called?”

From Noble mtl dot com

“I guess so.”

Theo took out the continuously vibrating communication crystal ball from his pocket and pressed the receive button.

“Hello. “This is Theo Lin Walderk.”

─Oh, that, that… Me, it’s me!

A voice that is a mixture of trembling and refreshing sounds in my ears.

Although the other person only referred to himself as ‘I’, it was a familiar voice to Theo.

“······Ah. Hello, Senior Sonya.”

─Yes, yes. Oh, hello! I’m sorry for contacting you on the weekend… It’s not that I didn’t, there’s something I’d like to ask you…

Theo’s eyes brightened.

‘Sonya has something to ask me for?’

It was a large ship. In the first place, if there was nothing to do on the weekend, the weekend didn’t have much meaning to him while he was training.

Theo immediately opened his mouth.

“No. “Can you tell me what’s going on?”

Theo gave a hand to Piel, who had a sullen expression next to her, and went back to his room with her contact crystal ball pressed to his ear.

“······.”

Piel, who was left behind, glared at the space where Theo had disappeared.

And then he muttered softly.

“Bad… Guy.”

Piel muttered things like ‘Who is Sonya?’, ‘I heard it’s a young woman’s voice…’ and waited where she was until Theo came back.

Endlessly.

Approximately 10 minutes later, Theo returned from the phone call and headed to the banquet hall for dinner with Piel.

‘Hoo.’

The banquet hall of Châlon Castle was a favorite of Theo, as he may have been an influential figure on the continent. It was a space filled with understated splendor.

All other people are already seated.

“Sorry for being late. “Because something unexpected happened.”

Theo bowed his head politely to all of them.

After hearing those words, Piel’s sullen expression eased a little.

‘As expected, it was a business contact!’

Then that’s right. It’s a bit odd that she has a young woman’s voice, but if she has a crystal ball for contact like Theo, she’s probably an unusual character.

Maximin, who was sitting at the head table in the center, looked at Piel and Theo for a moment and said.

“I hope the work doesn’t have to do with my daughter. Anyway, please sit down quickly. “The food is getting cold.”

“Thank you for your understanding, Sir Demon Hunter.”

“hahahaha. Then let’s listen. Please try it and comment on how it is. “I heard that Theo was coming, so I made an emergency call to the chef at Ruber’s 5-star hotel, who is on monthly leave today.”

After Mak Si-min finished speaking, the servants brought out food.

The servants placed food on each table.

A middle-aged man wearing a white chef uniform walked out from inside the banquet hall. He approached Maximin and bowed his head 90 degrees.

“Thank you, my lord, for giving me the honor of serving you like this.”

“No. Since the food is cold, it’s okay to say hello, so why don’t you introduce the food. “I’m hungry.”

“I understand, my lord.”

The chef continued speaking while looking at the guest.

“As an appetizer, we will prepare a soup made with mushrooms, which are grown in very small quantities only in some parts of the outskirts of Rubus──”

“Fish dishes from the southern seas──”

“For meat dishes, black cattle roamed around in the granaries of the Eastern Empire──”

······In that way, the guests ate dinner while listening to the chef’s explanation as each dish was served.

Dinner is all over.

Mak Si-min said, moistening his lips with hot coffee.

“Did everyone enjoy their meal?”

Although he said ‘everyone’, his eyes were only looking at Theo.

Theo answered first.

“I was quite satisfied. “The taste was delicious, but I was even more satisfied because it mainly featured dishes that can only be tasted at Rubus.”

“hahahaha. As expected, even if Theo falls into the sea, his mouth will float. That’s right, I got on my nerves.”

Mak Si-min laughed cheerfully.

That served as a signal, and everyone except Theo gradually began to open their mouths. Naturally, it was time for small talk after the meal.

Seria, who was accustomed to this kind of aristocratic culture, skillfully pleased Maximin.

She said as Ceria looked at the picture hanging on the wall.

“Hmm, that work. “I don’t know the name, but I can really feel the style of Eve All, a genius designer and painter.”

“Oh my. That’s right. I hung it up as a gift from a relative of my family with an ambitious attitude. “It was a bit bizarre at first, but as I looked at it, I could feel the situation at the time permeating the work.”

“Yves All revealed in his autobiography that he was happiest when working as a painter. He initially wanted to become a painter, but due to his financial difficulties, he had no choice but to devote himself to the design industry. Judging by the style, it appears that the work was painted after he retired from the design industry.”

“hahahaha. Perhaps because she is the daughter of the Lord of the Black Tower, she also has great talent for art.”

“That’s too much praise. “In a broad sense, she considers magic to be a form of creative activity, so she only has a small interest in the field of art.”

Either that or not,

‘Haaa~ Poom.’

Piel, who had no interest in art, looked around with bored eyes.

As was my habit, the first thing I noticed was Theo.

‘What are you whispering about, boy?’

Theo was talking with Alps and Alice.

When I listened carefully, it was a story about topics such as ‘Did the food go well?’ And ‘Have you had any difficulties these days?’

It was extremely unsightly.

It was the same for Theo, Alps, and Alice. The reason why the two women’s cheeks look red is probably not due to their mood.

From what I learned in class, I heard that most of a man’s desires come from his genitals.

······So, is there a high probability that the reason Theo is talking to two women right now is because of his genitals?

Bang─

Pubung─

Bububububebung─

After thinking about it up to that point, Piel’s mind was shaking. Her edgy thoughts came to mind at once.

As I promise not to think about it, I think about it more and more.

In an instant, Piel’s face turned red, similar to the color of her own hair.

Meanwhile.

“Then, Theo. Would you like to go this far and achieve the purpose you came for? “I will help you digest your food and take you on a tour of the treasure trove.”

Mak Si-min said.

Theo nodded his head.

“Thank you.”

“hahahaha. As expected, it’s nice and refreshing. “Then everyone, let’s leave.”

When Mak Simin encourages others to stand up.

“No.”

Theo’s voice stopped him.

Theo continued.

“The number of people visiting the treasure trove is me. I think one person will be enough.”
