Springtime (3)
I couldn’t stand the constant laughter. I held my breath desperately to prevent a burst of laughter.
“ね.”
Nevertheless, it is unavoidable that a small amount of laughter leaks out.
I reached out my hand carefully and stroked Akshi’s hair.
it was dull It was perfect for calming the mind.
It was really dangerous when Akshi used his knees instead of his shoulders as his pillow.
If I hadn’t been able to control my mind even a little, I would have burst out laughing.
Oh, it’s still funny.
I remembered Akshi, who somehow tried to imitate the tone of the succubus queen.
It was a little clumsy, but when I saw Aksi that neatly imitates the tone of the succubus queen, I thought that a dragon is definitely a dragon.
But there’s something she’s missing.
primitive color.
The energy of the succubus queen was formed to attract people in the first place.
That’s the reason why Akshi can’t follow it perfectly, even if it does.
much less
Even if she followed perfectly, not neatly.
I can’t be obsessed with her.
‘Because I’ve never been possessed by the original.’
So I burst out laughing. I couldn’t stand it because I knew roughly what the intention was.
I smiled and looked down.
Akshi is asleep while breathing hard.
My leg pillow was more comfortable than I thought.
“Ummm…”
Even so, Akshi’s sleep talk wasn’t as bad as he thought, as he sometimes makes cute sounds.
I gently stroked her hair.
Unfinished cherry blossoms fall from her hand.
I slowly rested my head against the tree.
A cool breeze glides across your clothes and face.
“Are you going to be like this for a little while?”
It was time to get out of the image, but I didn’t want to wake Akshi from his sleep.
No one will wake her up if she sees her sleeping.
I leaned my head back and looked up.
A building that tries to touch the modern background, that is, the sky.
With sparsely lit windows, the buildings were locked in darkness. In the night when all the colors have disappeared, only the moonlight is left alone and sees the world.
and.
over there I saw a chair somewhere closer than the building.
It was a chair with all kinds of soldiers standing at an angle.
That chair was creating an atmosphere that did not match the modern background and was far from my image.
I glanced at the chair and closed my eyes.
In the chair, I could feel the light magic.

After a while, he moved to eat the academy’s education.
Lately, there have been a lot of things going on, so it seems that most of them ate outside or didn’t eat.
‘There were many rumors that the Academy’s education was better than that of any restaurant.’
I don’t know if it’s because it’s the best academy on the continent, or if it’s just the dean’s intention to dislike tasteless food, but the academy’s learning was definitely delicious to my taste.
Even the cooks who make ingredients, tools, and food have no reason to bow down to an outside restaurant, so most of the students are educated.
And Agnes was among them.
She was eating rolled up tomato pasta that came out of learning.
No one is sitting around Agnes.
Obviously, because school hasn’t started yet, there are no people inside the academy.
Even if there were people, he would not approach Agnes.

Just watching from afar.
I got the tomato pasta just like her and sat down in front of Agnes.
Agnes looked at me without eating pasta and widened his eyes.
“Deron?”
“What are you so surprised about?”
I feel it all the time, but he’s surprised too often when he sees me.
I don’t know why.
I said with a slight frown as Agnes sat blankly with a fork in his hand that rolled the pasta.
“Don’t worry, eat. I didn’t mean to disturb you.”
“Ah yes.”
Even though I said that, Agnes looked at me to see if I was concerned.
I put the pasta in my mouth, trying to ignore the glitch in my eyes.
“……”
It’s definitely delicious.
The pasta noodles are also noodles, but I like that the tomato sauce is slightly spicy.
It has a delicious taste that is not bland and is stimulating.
Slowly turn the fork to roll up the pasta, and carefully put it into your mouth.
You might get a little annoyed if you ask your clothes.
I brought a napkin just in case I asked.
I wish I didn’t have to use it anyway.
hurricane.
As I ate like that, the gaze I had ignored came into my eyes.
He raised his head slightly and looked at Agnes. She was staring blankly at me as she finished eating the pasta.
“What are you staring at?”
“Uh, that… isn’t it uncomfortable to eat like that?”
What are you talking about?
I tilted my head and Agnes pointed a finger at the fork.
Pasta rolled in two to eat in one bite.
I asked her, raising my fork slightly.
“Are you talking about this?”
“Yes, it takes a long time to eat it again and again, doesn’t it feel uncomfortable?”
“Then how are you going to eat it?”
“If you just eat the noodles as they are…”
Ah, that was the story.
I nodded once and opened my mouth.
“I know it’s much more convenient that way.”
“Then why…”
Instead of answering, I picked up a napkin I had brought in advance and brought it to Agnes’s mouth.
She opened her eyes and moved her body back slightly.
“Stay still.”
He stopped moving at my words.
I wiped the area around Agnes’ lips with a napkin.
A lot of red tomato sauce on a white napkin.
I showed her a napkin and answered.
“Because of this.”
“ah….”
It is convenient to eat like that, but there is a high risk of getting it on your mouth and clothes.
So it’s better to reduce the discomfort a little and roll it up and eat it in one bite.
Agnes sighed as she looked at the sauce on the napkin.
Her face is dyed red like tomato sauce.
I smiled as I watched Agnes bow his head to hide his face.
“Let’s go outside and walk for a while.”
I have several things to tell you.
**
“Yes!?”
“Keep your voice down, unless you want to spread the word throughout the academy.”
When I told you about the Succubus Queen, this is the reaction.
In fact, it is natural to have such a reaction, but the sound was too loud.
“Is it possible that the saint passed away to the Church…?”
“The appearance of a high-level demon indicates that the coming of the Demon King is not far away.
Morax’s case is special.
A demon called Morax also likes to make contracts with original humans.
But the Succubus Queen is different.
The Succubus Queen, who spread more information than other demons, is notorious for leaving her residence and entrusting most of her work to an agent.
And most of it has to do with prostitution.

Just like normal nobles, there are also nobles who use succubus as prostitutes.
Considering the appearance and body of a succubus queen or demon, and their characteristics, this is quite possible.
“Twitch.”
I remembered the ugliness I had encountered in the paperwork, and I kicked my tongue involuntarily.
Agnes stood still with a serious expression on his face.
Of course, my feet stopped at the same time.
As long as Agnes, who is a little ignorant of rumors and news, knows that Adele is Rebecca, the fact that she is a saint seems to have spread within the academy.
“Then why did the heretical judges enter the academy…?”
“It has nothing to do with it.”
Agnes sighed in relief as soon as she heard my answer.

Just don’t do it
Agnes must have noticed long ago that the inside of the academy was cluttered.
Rumors that spread after Professor Akdin or Morax subjugation lowered the status of the Iliad Academy.
In addition to that, what if the news that the Succubus Queen appeared?
If it spreads that the Heretic Judge stayed at the academy, it can no longer be a rumor.
Heretical judges are such beings.
An existence that I can’t dare to confront, but I don’t want to welcome either.
The fear itself of the denomination that makes you tremble just by staying there.
‘It would mean nothing now.’
I remembered Bishop Ifelsio, who had already died. He grafted demonic energy or monster body to the heretical judges.
Heretic judges who have been so empowered gather to hunt those designated as heretics.
So the Heretic Judge has no choice but to become a fearsome creature.
Rebecca had gone to the church to announce the fact.
In the church, it may be easy to move on, but first of all, those who knew it had to know.
It was a situation where a high-level demon appeared. It’s never good to just skip it. Even the Pope and Rebecca must be aware of that fact.
‘Besides, the succubus queen is a bit unusual among demons.’
A rumor that was not well known in the original story, but is an open rumor in this world.
It was possible for the succubus queen to rise to a higher rank because she had risen to the position of the devil king’s lover.
So she was able to be given the title of Queen in a special way.
It was quite a possibility.
“If it’s not the Succubus Queen, why is the Heretic Judge in the academy?”
“Probably because of the saint.”
“Saints… are you?”
“okay.”
I looked down at Agnes. She hardened her face and stepped forward.
I didn’t tell her about the denomination.
There is no need to give out such information, and if you find out about it and damage Rebecca’s identity or Agnes’ mentality, it’s actually a loss.
Why is there a saying that sometimes unknown is medicine?
It exists for situations like the present one.
**
‘Saint…’ I said.’
Agnes inwardly recounted what Deron had said a while ago.
Not a saint, but a saint.
It could be because of Deron’s personality, but Agnes didn’t feel that way.
A question pops into her mind.
The saint, Rebecca, has been close to Deron lately.
What if you became close and became close enough to be able to call your name?
Agnes’ body felt goosebumps. It wasn’t just her mana.
‘no way.’
Agnes has already been defeated by a saint once in a battle.
I didn’t want to lose even this.
She made up her mind while staring at Deron, who was moving forward first.
