Episode 75 – Eat some sh*t.
75. Eat some sh*t.
The last day of the holiday, Sunday.
Class A cadets gathered at a restaurant in Ellaim for an after-evaluation party.
The glass in front of them is filled with ale.
There was no problem.
The standard for adults here is 17 years or older. As 18-year-olds, it was natural for them to drink alcohol.
However, due to my status as an academy cadet who has to maintain my dignity, I have been refraining from doing so.
Since today is a day, everyone raised their glasses to cheer themselves up.

“Hey, I was in that desperate moment…!”
“How fast was Class F’s Goren…!”
“I was frozen at that time and thought it was over!”
The restaurant rang loudly. The cadets of Class A, who were moderately drunk, were excited and chatting.
They had become very close after working together for so long.
The subtle distance between nobles and commoners had completely disappeared.
The atmosphere in the room became increasingly heated, with no signs of cooling down.
There was plenty of conversation to be had. If we just got into the topic of Eledor right now, we could talk for three days and nights.
Meanwhile.
“But.”
Suddenly, someone raised a question.
“Where is Leon?”
It was Kiana.
“···Oh, so?”
“Huh, haven’t you come yet?”
Everyone blinked when they heard that. No matter what anyone says, Leon, the main figure of the evaluation and meeting, did not come.
The public’s attention was naturally focused on carotene.
Carotene stopped steeply tilting his glass and said.
“I don’t know either. No matter how hard I searched since the day before yesterday, I couldn’t find it.”
And shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, even if it existed, wouldn’t a place like this come? “It’s because I hate alcohol so much.”
“······?”
Kiana said as if it were absurd.
“You smoke that much, but you don’t actually drink alcohol?”
“I don’t know the exact reason, but I get sick of just smelling it.”
The cadets tilted their heads.
It was an unexpected part that did not fit the young image. Because Leon was a delinquent student who bitten tobacco without hesitation even within the academy.
It was then.
—Snap!
The restaurant door opens very roughly.
After that, the one who walked in again and again was Celia, a beautiful girl with a cat face.
Carotene waved her hand happily.
“Oh, Celia! What’s going on here? Would you like to sit together?”
“Um…”
Celia did not answer right away but glanced at the table.
It was immediately after that that her eyebrows narrowed.
“Leon, what about Leon? “Isn’t it here too?”
“······But.”
“Haa…”
Celia let out a deep sigh and turned her body.
Ttogak, ttogak-
And without hesitation, she began to walk away, as if she had no business without Leon.
As she left the restaurant, a somber whisper came out of her mouth.
“Where on earth have you been for three days without saying anything…? And that too with Aria… “I feel like I’m going to get so annoyed that I’m going to turn away…”
For some reason, even life is slowly leaking out in this simmering mood.
“””······.”””
Her A class cadets kept her silent until she was completely out.
‘Leon, it’s all your karma.’
Carotene silently prayed for her close friend to rest in peace.

“It was really… Amazing.”
“The sky is sparkling! “Something rumbles and explodes!”
“I have never seen such a sight in my 60-day life.”
“It was big enough to encompass the entire clock tower.”
“I’ve used a knife quite a bit, but when I saw that monster, the only thing I could think of was running away.”
“At that time, I only prayed earnestly to Artius! “He is the one who saved my entire family!”
“Do you come to your senses when you hear that voice? “Do you feel like we need to move something right away?”
“As I flew through the air and swung my flaming blue sword, the monster retreated helplessly.”
“Well, you moved the sky with a sword!”
“He was truly the embodiment of lightning and storm.”
“I thought Mertheon had performed a miracle.”
“That final blow was really…”
This was part of the listening records of Freeville citizens.
Although there were over five hundred victims.
In fact, thanks to Leon, there were over two thousand survivors.
Leon did not quietly let go of what he had done. It wasn’t a task big enough to be overlooked anyway.
After returning to Elaim, he went straight to the city hall and explained the situation.
First of all, except for the dead Merrick, we hand over the group of Freeville managers who collaborated with the blood donor group.
Now that there is no manager in Freeville and only citizens remain, a large number of people have been dispatched to go and take care of the situation.
I stamped my ID and it was easy.
You may be wondering why Elaim is involved in Priville’s work.
There was no lord in this area, so Elaim served as a kind of local government.
The reason why Elaim did not help in Priville’s murder case was because the group of managers who were helping the blood donation group blocked the information.
Many soldiers flocked to Priville.
Security forces, administrators, investigators, technicians, reporters…
In particular, the reporters, who were so excited by the sensation of a scoop, ran without even sleeping.
What actually happened in Freeville was truly a series of surprises. It was a huge event.
It was also natural that the name ‘Leon Crusiv’ always appeared in the mouths of citizens.
Rumors and the full story of the incident quickly spread throughout the empire.
Less than a day later, guests came to Leon.
“Young master, I see you again.”
Daniel Heclemin, head of the Intelligence Department’s second team, whom I met after dealing with the Reconnaissance Bureau agents last time.
“May the blessings of the gods be with you. “Brother, I heard that you have experienced something big this time.”
It was Rebecca Hylett, a heresy inquisitor and church investigator who visited during the Burrow incident.
“You’re here again?”
It was certainly common for people who had met at least once to come back.
The reason why these two organizations sent people.
The Intelligence Department is responsible for the security of the empire, and the Church regards the Demon World and demons as its main enemies and takes the lead in rejecting them.
In other words.
The Ministry of Information is due to an evil group called the Blood Donors, which has been appearing in Sinab recently from the Empire.
And the purpose of the church was to find out the appearance of demonic beasts and demons and the fact that the demon realm had been opened.
Leon recited most of the truth to them.
“When I heard of the terrible murder case in Freeville, I felt my heart boiling with a cry for justice. It was as if Mertheon, the god of order, had sent a revelation. “I ran straight to Priville along that road.”
······Although it has undergone some degree of adaptation.
Aria also accompanied Leon for the same reason.
She asked Hera, who was close to her at the time, to do her request, and even brought in Mukwoldae.
While she was conducting an investigation in Freeville, she was attacked by a group of blood donors and stopped them.
She only did honorable things, so there was nothing she couldn’t say.
Numerous corpses remaining there and witnesses served as evidence.
However, she did not tell us about the identity of the magic circle. Hera and the members of the Mukwol Team were also silenced in advance about the magic circle.
If you ask about the source of that information, it will be difficult to answer. It can’t be said that Aria, who was studying the gift given by the devil, found out.
Anyway, the wizards from the Intelligence Department were diligently investigating, so the truth would soon be revealed.
Let’s end the story.
“Young master, really.”
Daniel couldn’t hide his admiration.
“The light is here…”
Rebecca was so moved that she even had tears in her eyes.
The two realized the seriousness of the blood donation group and quickly left, saying they would immediately report it to their superiors.
Leon was convinced that this was once again an opportunity for the original content, that is, the future, to be greatly distorted.
The risk and capabilities of the blood donation group were unprecedented.
Manipulating hundreds of mentally broken people.
Using a large magical entity that has not yet been confirmed.
There is a high-ranking demon at the head who held on to the Master for a short time.
It is a high-dimensional magic circle that extracts hundreds of souls at once, and even opens the demonic realm.
In reality, the threat of the demon world was roaming freely over the land of the empire.
If this happens.
Probably, both the intelligence department and the religious denomination will move in and a large-scale subjugation and extermination of the blood donors will be carried out.
What if Belger’s plan succeeded in Priville?
In that case, they would have attributed all the damage that has occurred and will occur to the fact that the demonic realm was accidentally opened.
If the magic light is properly opened, the surrounding area will be completely devastated, so the destruction of evidence was also clean.
However, because Leon appeared and stopped them, the true state of the blood donation group was revealed.
‘You little Kryptos, eat some sh*t.’
In the end, it was obvious that any attempt to mess with the arch-devil Kryptos’ empire would result in complete ruin.
The leading figures in resolving this situation were each promised appropriate public honors and compensation from the imperial family and the church.
Leon decided to wait leisurely. Once the truth of the incident is fully revealed, his achievements will become even greater.
It is a great achievement that saved more than half of the citizens of Freeville from almost being exterminated. It even prevented the movement of the demon world forces and the opening of the demon world.
If the whole truth was revealed, the compensation he would receive would also increase.
I thought I would probably be able to get my share by the time the vacation started and I arrived at the island.
There was also a short conversation with Hera.
So, on to the topic of the relationship between Bergov and Leon.
Leon honestly wasn’t too worried. Isn’t Hera the kind of person who would spread something like this or report it?
Anyway, Leon was not someone who could do anything with force or threats.
However, it was clear that he had one fatal weakness.
As expected, Hera left, leaving behind only words of unknown meaning.
– Heh, little brother. Should we go on a date next time?
– ······.
Of course, Leon did not have the option of refusal.
Besides that.
When Celia saw Leon’s return, she seemed very upset.
When Aria looks at her like that, she secretly makes fun of her.
There were minor incidents, such as Carotene becoming depressed because he didn’t take her.
In that way, it seemed like the events in Freeville were at least roughly coming to an end.
