I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 201

201. Zeto is bad (3)

As Zeto was looking for an informant, the demon appeared at the perfect timing as if he had been waiting.

I also liked that he was competent.

I had to give him a high evaluation in that he had already connected his past life that he didn’t know about.

However, there is too little information about this demon.

Getto, like Bernice, couldn’t confirm the truth of what he said.

There weren’t many things that bothered me that made it feel like a lie, but that’s why I was more concerned.

Because the more insidious the lie hidden in the clear truth, the harder it is to find out.

Moreover, his background as a direct subordinate to the staff was also taken.

If he was a staff member who had all the information of the demons, he would have been enough to send a double agent.

It wasn’t clear why he had to do such a thing, but he couldn’t rule it out.

“…”

Even the slightest movement of his arm would slash this weak demon’s neck deeply, and soon black blood would spurt out.

Now that the future has changed considerably, Jetto has to be careful about his choices.

But the demon didn’t look as frightened as before.

“Well, I was prepared for everything to happen like this. If it’s Zeto-sama, whom I understand, it wouldn’t be strange for him to make this choice. Anyway, I’m a demon with horns growing on my head… The demon is Zeto’s teammate. It’s not the enemy.”

Every time I opened my mouth and spat out words, the blade of the sword thrust into my throat cut me and blood flowed out, but the demon did not give in and answered with a straight voice.

He had a face prepared for death.

Even when his life was in danger, he did not blink an eye and solidified his will. At least, it felt like it wasn’t just bullsh*t to get out of a crisis.

At this, Jeto pushed the last remaining question to him.

“…Did you just say that you learned about the world that the Nameless One sought? What kind of world did he wish for?”

What kind of world was that, and his followers, whose records had been lost in the past, still remain, and why the foolish demons in front of him are acting like this?

To answer this, the demon’s lips fall.

“…A world where demons and humans coexist. The Nameless One seems to have wanted such a ridiculous… Impossible thing.”

The coexistence of demons and humans.

At that absurd sound, Jeto ate and laughed.

Then he immediately took the sword that was thrust into his throat.

“Mr. Zeto…?”

“I’m not saying I trust you.”

Zetto just wanted to understand the wish of his presumed former life.

“…Did you say you want to serve me as your lord? Then you’ll have to show your abilities to match. Trust is a bonus.”

“You are right.”

The demon, who was wiping the blood from his neck, lowered his head at the words of the next two words.

“I’ll think about your proposal again after I’ve built up enough trust. Of course, the relationship between a lord and a servant is still awkward… I think it would be better to call them colleagues.”

Jetto smiled lightly.

I didn’t believe in demons.

Zetto thought that even if he was a double agent, he could use it as a double agent.

“Come to think of it, I didn’t hear your name.”

“My name is Keraf.”

“Keraph…”

Jetto remembered his name as if he would not forget it.

“I have another question…”

“Ask me anything.”

“I know that might be a bit of a question, but… I was just wondering why you’re so weak.”

Keraph’s magic was so weak that it was difficult to even recognize that he was a demon. The reason that Zeto was able to recognize that he was a demon was not because of the demon, but because of the energy of the dark spirit he possessed.

To Jetto, the skinny Keraf looked incredibly weak. He even wondered if he could win a fistfight with an ordinary adult man.

No, at this level, it seemed difficult to guarantee victory even with an ordinary adult woman.

“hahahahaha, that bothered me.”

At Jeto’s question, who was scratching his cheek, Keraf chuckled.

“Actually, I’ve never absorbed the life force of a human. I’ve never absorbed the life force of a beast, let alone a human. I’d have to say I can’t exactly.”

Keraph shook his head.

“…Can’t you?”

“I’ve been like that since I was a kid. Maybe it’s innate. My horns can’t absorb life.”

“Ah…”

From the perspective of the demons, it was supposed to be quite unfortunate, so Zeto’s voice diminished.

“The ability given to me as a demon was limited to being able to deal with low-level spirits. At one time, I used to resent the world, but now I’m living my life with gratitude like this. I was able to follow the rules set by a nameless person.”

“What are the rules?”

Jetho tilted his head at Keraf’s explanation.

“Do not harm humans. According to what is known, the Nameless One often hung out with humans.”

In reality, Keraf had never harmed a human. Because I had neither the ability nor the reason to do so.

It was only then that Zeto could understand, albeit shallowly, why Keraf was able to be influenced by the thoughts of the Nameless One.

“This is enough of my introduction… Is there anything you want me to do right away? If you leave it to me, I, Keraf, will do my best.”

Keraph clenched his fists with an enthusiastic look.

“Hmm…”

It was the moment when Zeto, who thought that the first priority was to grasp the trend of the demons, was about to ask him about it.

“……Looks like something needs to be done right away.”

Jetto, who had been hesitant to answer, finally answered.

“What is it?”

“Hide. Right now.”

“Hide…? Why are you suddenly doing that…”

“She’s… She’s coming.”

Keraph frowned at Jeto’s blank voice.

‘She’s her…? Who the hell is she that makes Jeto-nim react like that?’

***

Keraf finally hid himself in a shabby trash can in his alley.

An unbearable stench stung his nostrils, but there was nowhere else to hide in a hurry.

Fortunately, the trash can was large enough to hide his skinny body.

‘This is enough to endure.’

Since he was a Keraf who was prepared to give up his life to serve Zeto as his lord, he could easily endure his stench and discomfort.

So, Keraf was faithfully carrying out the first task that Jeto had entrusted to him.

He looked up, lifted the lid of the trash can, and kept his eyes on Jetto, who was standing against the wall in the alley, waiting for ‘her’.

“Jetto…?”

Not long after, a woman’s voice rang in her alley, and she opened her mouth, loosening her arms from Jetto’s grip.

“Ms. Eisel? Is there such a coincidence? I see Ms. Eisel outside the academy.”

The platinum-haired girl who cautiously approached Jeto and tilted her head was a person Keraf knew.

She was ‘Eisel Ludwig’ whom Jetto had previously protected while fighting Murka.

“…I see. It’s a coincidence. What are you doing here?”

“I was making the preparations I had to make before I left for the East.”

“At such a late hour, in such a gloomy alley, preparations?”

Eisel shifted her gaze towards the end of the alley, holding her breath and lowering her head, lest Kerraf might be seen.

Then the sound of Jetto’s laughter is heard.

“hahahaha, I had a lot of things to buy, so I was taking a break, but it seems it’s already too late.”

“It was late.”

“…So what has Miss Eisel been doing all this time?”

“I… I have something to prepare…”

Eisel, who was unable to look at Jeto with her head turned, was captured in Keraf’s eyes, which lifted her lid quietly.

Her eyes were the kind of suspicious eyes that had something to hide.

‘Anyway, didn’t the two get along?’

However, the conversation between the two, which had been heard in Keraf’s ears, was heard as if they were trying to find out each other’s feelings under the guise of a normal conversation.

“I had something to say to Jeto…”

“What is it?”

“…I want to ask you something.”

“…”

“Isn’t it…? Jetto… Loves me…?”

“…”

“Do you love me?”

“…I love you, Miss Eisel.”

They looked like lovers who had been dating for quite some time.

‘No, they could really be lovers.’

Since Keraf had researched not only Jeto, but also the people around him, he had a rough idea of his relationship with her.

Anyway, he was wondering if it was okay to secretly watch the story of their sweet love that suddenly started.

“…That’s good.”

Until Eisel suddenly sprayed Zeto’s face with the mysterious perfume he had been hiding behind her back.

“Ai… Ms. Zell…?”

Jetto, who inhaled the perfume without much resistance, tilted his head and tilted his body as if he had lost strength.

—-Surely…

In the end, Jetto seems to have completely lost consciousness, his legs giving way and he falls slowly leaning against the wall.

‘…What is it?’

Keraph, watching the scene, doubted his eyes.

“Zeto is bad… Because Zetto is so nice… That’s why he’s nice to them too…”

Eisel, who was staring at Jeto out of breath as if she was very excited, muttered in a sullen voice as if possessed by her ghost.

Within seconds, Eisel picked up Jetto, who had fallen on the floor, and slowly disappeared out of her alley.

‘What happened right before your eyes?’

I was dizzy at the large-scale accident that happened out of nowhere, but Keraf, who managed to interpret the situation, was shocked.

He grabbed his head in a completely enclosed space with a stench.

What should I do with this?

I don’t know why, but it looks like Jeto was ‘kidnapped’.
