70 – Hot Springs (1)
After being beaten up for a while, the guy urgently shouts, perhaps thinking that he is finally going to speak.
“I’m going to tell you! So stop hitting me!
It would be great if you said that from the beginning.
Thinking like that, I slowly listened to what he said.
After hearing the explanation, I was lost in thought.
‘Hmm, this is a little unexpected.’
It is said that the place the Demon King headed to was a small village in the east.
I heard that the village was destroyed by demons.
Actually, it doesn’t matter up to this point.
Because there are more than one or two villages that were destroyed due to demons.
If there’s just something I’m concerned about.
‘Our village is also in the east.’
Rico Village, which can be called my hometown.
When I was on the front line, our village was destroyed by demons.
I don’t know how depressed I was when I heard that news.
However, it is said that the devil is now heading to the ruined village in the east.
‘Something feels uncomfortable.’
Why?
I had a feeling that this guy was looking for our village.
No, more precisely, what the monster from this world said comes to mind.
-You are a descendant of people from another world!
The monster from another world that shouted at me like that the other day.
The guy said that people from another world sealed the monsters of this world.
And if I really am a descendant of people from another world.
‘The devil will be looking for traces.’
Of course, he won’t be able to find it that easily.
I also couldn’t find any traces of that.
“Are you going to save me now?”
“Hmm? Did I say I would save your life?”
“What?”
For a moment, he looks lost.
And then, he screams.
“Don’t be ridiculous! “I told you everything!”
“Okay. I told you everything. But that doesn’t make what you did go away, does it?”
“·····.”
He remains silent, perhaps at a loss for words.
“Damn it…”
-Pow!
With those words, I stomped on his face and burst it open.
The students watching from behind shake their heads.
“That is the real devil.”
“I don’t know who the demon is.”
“At this point, isn’t the professor actually a demon who transformed into a human?”
“Let’s use demons instead of demons, because there is no reason to kill the same demons.”
“Admit it.”
Uhm, should I seriously hit each honey chestnut?
While I was thinking about this for a moment, Livia, who was watching from behind, expressed her gratitude.
“You worked hard. Kael.”
“Okay. “Then let’s go back.”
That was the moment when the Holy Alliance incident was quickly resolved.
***
The next day.
The traitor was eliminated, but that does not mean the experiential learning is over.
Students walked around with free time.
And in front of me, I was having a conversation with the Pope sitting across from me.
“Thank you for helping us directly like this.”
“No. “If it weren’t for me, I would have been able to resolve it.”
“Even so, it is an undeniable fact that it was a great help.”
He says this with a knowing smile.
If you look at that smile, he seems like a really good grandfather, but in reality, he’s just a grumpy old man.
I think I know how he rose to the position of Pope.
‘Well, that doesn’t mean his personality is trash.’
While I was thinking this, the leader of the Holy Knights, Rait, asked a question.
“But was there any information you found out? “I think you would have gotten enough information.”
“Hmm.”
I did get traces of the devil.
But, I think it would be better not to talk about it for now.
To be honest, this is just my guess.
“There is nothing in particular. “He also didn’t know anything.”
“I see, that’s a shame.”
“Is there anything you want to ask more than that?”
In an instant, the Pope asks with a friendly smile.
I thought for a moment.
Coldly speaking, there is nothing to gain from this.
It’s not that I don’t have enough money, but it’s not that I need anything.
“Hmm, then I would like to be treated to a meal.”
“Is that enough?”
“Of course, I’m talking about all students and professors, including me.”
“I understand. I will talk about not only meals but also accommodation separately. “The lodging there is also owned by our church.”
After hearing that, I nodded with a satisfied smile.
And on this day, I didn’t know.
Because of this, an incident will occur soon.
***
Some time passed and evening came.
It is clear that the Pope had a great hospitality and was treated to a meal, and the feast was so sumptuous that the people watching were salivating.
“Wow! “It’s crazy!”
“As expected, Edin Academy!”
“You’re crazy!”
Students eat their food hungrily while watching it.
Judging by his reaction, he must have been quite hungry.
At that time.
“What on earth did you do to treat me like this?”
Lisa tilts her head with a puzzled expression.
I roughly explained what happened yesterday.
Then, after hearing her entire explanation, she nods her head with an understanding face.
“That’s why they treat me like this. “Hmm.”
“You have to do this to save face.”
At that moment, Libya intervened in the conversation.
Soon, she naturally comes next to me and smiles softly.
“More than that, Kael, they said they are opening a separate hot spring at the accommodation this time.”
“Hmm? Was there a hot spring too?”
“Yes. “Originally, you had to pay to use it, but the Pope said that he opened it after speaking separately.”
I didn’t know you would treat me like this.
To be calm, it’s something that can be resolved by oneself, even if it’s not me.
Well, it’s good for us.
“Are hot springs separate for men and women?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I see. “Then I will go first.”
“Yes?”
“Huh?”
The two people were shocked, probably not expecting me to say I was going right away.
Soon, Livia asks.
“Aren’t you going to eat?”
“Okay. “I’m not particularly hungry.”
“Still, alcohol was served too?”
Judging by his reaction, it seems like he was planning on having a drink with me.
I flatly refused the invitations of those two people.
“Sorry, I’m still working. “It is against the law to drink alcohol while working.”
“Wow. Really knowledgeable. “Holy lady, was she always like this?”
“Ha. “I often did this when I was at parties, but nothing much has changed.”
“Hmm.”
I felt unfair for some reason, but I felt like nothing good would come of me refutating.
But at that moment.
“Master! “The food here is so delicious!”
Shiro shouts with his cheeks full of food.
Looking at their expressions, they seem to be quite satisfied with the food.
“Make sure you eat a lot.”
“Oh, why do you say that with a smile? Awfully.”
“······.”
Shiro gets scared even though he said it with a smile.
How on earth did my image become like this?
Thinking like that, I quietly left the restaurant.
***
Kael escaped from the restaurant.
Livia and Riza thought as they watched Kael leisurely leaving.
‘I have to go too!’
Thinking like that, the two people looked at each other.
Soon, they nod their heads without saying anything.
But, before you go.
“Tia. Please.”
-Yes, I understand.
Livia quickly worked on her bath.
“What did you do?”
“hehehe. “You will find out later.”
Liza tilted her head at Livia’s words.
I don’t know what it is, but I don’t think there will be any loss here.
The two people naturally walked towards the hot spring bath.
“Let’s go too.”
“We should go quickly before it’s too late.”
“Yes. Huh.”
Not knowing that the female students in the S-grade class were also thinking the same thing!
***
After leaving the restaurant, I went straight to the hot spring bath.
She must have prepared as Livia said, but even though she is still in front of the entrance, a cloud of smoke is creeping up.
‘I guess it’s here.’
Entrance covered with blue cloth.
Just looking at it, this is a men’s bathhouse.
I went inside without hesitation.
Soon, I took off the clothes I was wearing and tried to go inside.
At that time.
[Please take the towel provided at the entrance and enter.]
The sign says to bring a towel when entering.

I didn’t go to hot springs that much, so I thought I’d just do it.
Each country has its own culture, so we should respect it.
I quietly entered the bathhouse with a towel.
“Whoa.”
For a moment, I felt as if my body was losing strength.
The Pope was definitely trying to treat him properly, so the soup was quite good.
That time when I enjoy a bath for a while.
-Roaring.
Suddenly the sound of conversation is heard from outside.
It seems that other students also came in to enjoy the bathhouse.
I just thought about whether students would come in without thinking and enjoyed the soup.
But at that moment.
“What?!”
“Huh?”
“?!”
The people who entered the bath were Livia and Lisa.
In addition, they were female students from the S-class class.
***
10 Minutes ago.
Kael entered and Tia, one of Libya’s subordinates, quickly changed the cloth.
Soon, he held up the communication magic orb and muttered quietly.
“The plan has been completed. “Saint.”
-Good job.
That was the moment when everything went according to Libya’s plan.
