Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer chapter 44

44 – Conflict (5)

“…… Is it so. In the end, both the dragons and the sky dragons went out of control due to the curse of the ‘seed’. What are you talking about?”

All explanations are finished.

I conveyed the truth about the day of Gaebyeok and what happened ten years ago as it is.

“The devil’s power… ….”

That the Day of the Gaebyeok incident was a disaster caused by the mistake of the dragon, who lost control of his body due to the devil’s trick in the past.

The reason why the sky dragon ran amok was because she cut Bahamut’s life herself in the process of stopping the rampaging evil dragon.

The ‘seed of evil’ created by the devil did not disappear even after the host disappeared, and it persisted and successfully transferred to the sky dragon’s body.

So, the fact that the sky dragon burned down your village was ultimately not her own will.

“… ….”

When the story of the village, which was no different from her own evil, was brought up, Beatrice was shaken for a moment.

In fact, she had no choice but to do that.

Even within the Holy Church, there is almost no one who knows the past of the ‘saint’ properly, except for the emperor, the most powerful person, and I, who hadn’t met anyone before entering the academy, mentioned it casually.

The shock you will receive from that cannot be compared to the fact that the plan to destroy the demonic sword was discovered.

‘…… Hmm.’

If you hadn’t had an in-depth conversation just a moment ago, and had brought up the story of the village right away, what kind of reaction would have come back?

I think that maybe, starting from that point, I could have taken the bad ending route. Not joking, seriously.

‘In front of Beatrice, who is still wary of me, do I mention my hometown?’

That’s not something I would do with the title of possessor. You can’t do that, just.

Should I say that it’s no different than putting a knife through Flügel’s throat in front of Tsumei?

As far as I know, the story about hometown was the surest trigger to bring out Beatrice’s emotions. I’ve seen a lot of devil worshipers who died while messing around with it in the story, so there’s no way I’m going to make fun of it.

“…… You are… ….”

Well, in the end, to put it another way, things have changed a bit now.

Now that I’ve succeeded in building a relationship of trust with her, albeit precariously, at least she won’t be hostile to me.

“It’s a bit hard to say now, but there’s really nothing I don’t know.”

“I’m kind of like that.”

After a little mischievous shrug, Beatrice let out a weak laugh.

“I didn’t mean to compliment you… ….”

It wasn’t.

I nodded with a serious expression on my face.

At that time, Beatrice’s eyes captured me with a mysterious light.

“…… West of the empire. A small, nameless village on the outskirts. A place that disappeared ten years ago without leaving a trace due to the ferocity of the Sky Dragon.”

She murmured briefly, adding her words in her slightly stifled voice.

“As you said, my hometown is there.”

“… ….”

“Apart from His Holiness the Emperor, only the nun who took me in at the time knew this. I know the purpose of my admission. I could have considered the possibility of an inductee, but there is no other room for this. There’s no way you’re connected to His Holiness the Pope, and the nun passed away from old age six years ago…….”

She stopped her words for a moment, organized her thoughts, and finally put her conclusions into her mouth.

“Now I can tell you that you have not been gathering information in the usual way. At least you can assume that he didn’t jump on his feet to figure it out.”

Beatrice bit her lower lip and glared at me.

“What is it really? Why the hell do you know these things? No, how? Even if I give up my past 100 times and set it aside, how did you figure out the secret history of the previous generation, which was almost 100 years old, such as the seeds of evil?”

“hahahaha… ….”

“Don’t laugh. Is this funny?”

I didn’t know what to say, so I scratched the back of my head shyly, but Beatrice narrowed his eyes and glared at me as if he was suspicious of even that.

“Lastly, are you really nineteen? I’m really asking for the last time.”

I spit it out, but it seems that you still don’t believe in my age.

Anyway, even if you’re hundreds of years old and know everything, you’d be incomprehensible when you call yourself less than 20 years old in a dubious yard.

‘If the position were reversed, I honestly don’t think I would have believed it either.’

But what can I do, the truth is that.

If in doubt, ask the status window.

The status window tells me to be nineteen.

I answered with a light shrug, and Beatrice immediately clicked her tongue as if she understood the meaning properly.

“Okay then. The opportunity for confession ends with this. After this moment passes, the day comes when I find out for myself, then I really die.”

“Yes, yes, yes or no.”

He smiled, meaning that it wouldn’t happen.

Was the sincerity conveyed? Beatrice only jerked his head away, but he didn’t say anything more about him.

And I pretended to be natural and thought to myself.

‘Hmm.’

The age before being possessed is not applicable, right?

It’s not like I’m a few years older anyway, so please look at me.

*****

“Omniscience.”

Beatrice put that one word in his mouth, brushing his bangs up.

“Assuming that something like a super-large intelligence agency that dominates the shadows of the continent, whose scale is unfathomable, exists somewhere, and unless you have such an organization in the background……. All I can think about is that, after all.”

I took a listening posture and just nodded politely. It was a nod that contained no soul at all.

Beatrice continued to speak while frowning as if disapproving.

“…… Even if your superpowers aren’t in the form of prophecies like the astrologers of the East, if you dare to look for possibilities, it’s related to them. ‘Peeking into the future’ and ‘getting a grip on everything’ both have similarities, don’t they? Although the latter is too overwhelmingly powerful.”

Soon he sent me a gentle gaze as if he was trying to figure out my intentions, but of course he didn’t answer. To be honest, I didn’t even know what to say.

I can’t brag like I’m from the outside world.

Well, if you look closely, Beatrice’s words weren’t completely wrong.

If omniscient is now talking about the point of view of an omniscient player (?), Then it should be said that it is infinitely closer to the correct answer.

Of course, I had no intention of kindly telling you the correct answer.

Even if you put aside the question of whether or not you can believe it when he tells you the truth, looking at it now, he seems to be secretly enjoying reasoning.

“Since omniscience is so absurd, I think it would be more reasonable to think that there is actually a dark force that moves the continent in the dark. Anyway, that doesn’t seem like much. Hmm…….”

The saintess is happy! Leave it alone.

“I’ve never been interested in superpowers before, but there seems to be a need to look into them. Should we stop by the church headquarters library…….”

He kept talking to himself, so I roughly made the choice of pretending to listen with one ear and letting it go with the other.

It might be more beneficial to take a look at the demonic sword than to hear more about it.

“So, what is the conclusion?”

It was around the time I was about to turn my head slightly thinking about that.

“I’m asking you to tell me soon, Dante.”

Suddenly, her voice dropped seriously, and Beatrice threw a calm gaze at me.

I had to blink at the sudden change of atmosphere.

“…… Uh, what?”

A question that popped out without me knowing, Beatrice said to that.

“That the rampage of dragons proceeded against their will, that there was a demon from the other world behind the trampling of your childhood village, and that you see through all the behind-the-scenes stories. I know everything. I understand everything, now tell me.”

“… ….”

“There must be a reason why you bothered to tell me those stories in this situation?”

Beatrice pointed at the demon sword with a wink, and I reflexively shut my mouth.

It was an inevitable reaction.

What she said was unmistakably true, but I still had concerns about how to tell the next story well.

The identity of the demonic sword.

To be precise, the identity of the dragon that dwells within it.

Anyway, Beatrice lost her village to the Blue Dragon (Thousand Dinosaurs). She’s practically the enemy of her family.

No matter how much I had to say it, I didn’t know that such a story would make Beatrice suffer.

Considering her personality, she doesn’t think her revenge will be directed towards Flugel…….

‘This is a slightly different matter.’

Yes, this is a slightly different issue.

To purify the demonic sword, Beatrice’s help is essential.

But for Beatrice, it was almost certain that she would break the demonic sword.

She could say that.

“If you haven’t made up your mind yet, I’ll tell you my position first. Before entering the academy——”

The reason is not different.

To put it simply, she is.

“──I received an oracle.”

Because I have peeked into the future through a different method than Jibril.

I slightly hardened my expression, and Beatrice continued her words while observing my reaction.

“Looks like you knew this roughly. So, can you guess what I’m going to say?”

…… There were several times when I played the game several times and made the demonic sword in the basement of the academy into a bound item.

In all of that, I’ve never once mobilized ‘Beatrice Louise’ for an underground raid.

‘Because it took less time to steal the Holy Grail from the Church Headquarters and purify it.’

What this means is that going up to the religious headquarters located in Jedo, infiltrating and infiltrating, sacrificing one of the three sacred relics, and then returning and starting to penetrate the underground, only one saint who is enjoying campus life at the academy persuaded her daughter with her daughter. It means that the difficulty is lower than taking it with you.

I don’t know if that makes sense, but it’s true. Whenever I brought up the story to get some help in attacking the underground and demonic swords, the ‘Saint’ and the ‘Holy Church’ raised hostile signs without exception.

The detailed reason, wouldn’t the lychee tell you soon?

“Through God’s eyes, I was able to see a concrete future in which this academy would be devastated. Many students were injured and died. …… The cause was this ‘magic sword’ in the basement of the academy.”

Beatrice pointed her slender finger at the demonic sword.

As if she had recalled the scene of the oracle, her expression hardened somewhat.

“At first, I tried to destroy the demonic sword as soon as I found it. Because I know better than anyone that the ‘dragon’ inside is dangerous. As I guessed, the dragon sealed in this demonic sword is also going berserk like a dragon or a dragon in the sky. It’s not urgent, but I don’t have that much free time either.”

Beatrice paused at that point and looked at me with a meaningful look.

Hurting and anticipating, interest and hesitation, some conflicts and worries, etc. The emotions contained were quite diverse.

“…… So if you have something to say, do it quickly. Even now, I am thinking of you and holding back a lot. Listen, and if your story is reasonable, I won’t touch the demonic sword. If not, I will deal with it without mercy.”

A friendship is a friendship, and a dangerous thing is a dangerous thing. I’m sorry if I’m not talking about it properly, but I’ll break the demon sword right away.

It was as if he was saying that.

“If you can convince me, do it. Please explain the ‘reasonable reason not to break the demonic sword’ somewhere.”

‘…… Write.’

I let out a small sigh inwardly.

Actually, I know. Even this alone was a development that I had not experienced while playing the game, and it is also certain that Beatrice respects me considerably.

From noble mtl dot com

After being possessed, I can see the angle, and I won’t have time to steal the Holy Grail, so it’s me, not anyone else, who made the choice to bring Beatrice in.

If that’s the case, you’ll have to really wake up and attack straight.

Whether it’s an underground labyrinth, a demonic sword, or an intermediate gateway level boss…….

Or the heroine.

‘To be honest, Liche seems closer to the middle boss in every way.’

…… Anyway, persuasion was my share.

If you coax Beatrice well at this time, it should be possible to make her give up destroying the demonic sword, as well as to turn her eyes to purification.

So, what?

Let’s clean our mouths well.

Anyway, I’m not confident.
