152 – Rumors of the Academy – 6
“Ah, you’re here not too late. Prince Gregory.”
When I opened the door to the student council room and entered, Scarlett, who had been reading documents with her glasses on, took off her glasses, rubbed her eyes once, and greeted me with a welcome face.
“Isn’t it over yet?”
When asked about the way she was holding the documents even though lunchtime was over, she shook her head and got up from her seat and stretched out.
“No, that was over a long time ago. Would you like to check?”
Scarlett smiles brightly, picks up the paper bag that was on the desk, and waves it at me.
Is there anything about the culprit in it?
“Then, let me thank you.”
He slowly approaches her and hands over the briefcase in his hand. Bag lighter than expected. As I shake it slightly to measure the weight, Scarlett laughs as if she is having fun.
“You will be quite surprised to see the culprit. I was also surprised.”
“okay?”
After loosening the thread sealing the briefcase, examine the contents inside.
“… … … … surely.”
“Isn’t it surprising?”
“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t surprised.”
I can’t believe this person is the source of the rumors.
“If you look at the back page, there will be details about why things turned out the way they did.”
After listening to her, turn to the next page and look at the page where the beginning of the incident is written.
“her.”
I shook my head and put the papers back into the envelope.
“Now what? Ball Gregory Jones.”
“What? Shouldn’t it be corrected?”
At the point where both the culprit and the reason have been found out, the only thing left to do is implement justice. I immediately turned my steps and tried to face the culprit in order to realize justice.
“for a moment.”
Until Scarlett called my name as I was about to leave the student council room.
“what?”
“No way, are you going to just leave like this? Did the student council step out and solve the problem like this?”
“I would have told you about that in the morning——”
“The student council is not an entertainment agency. Prince Gregory.”
Scarlett’s voice, which had been filled with friendliness until just now, suddenly turned cold.
“So, do it as much as you weighed the debt. How is it?”
I couldn’t help but nod my head at the sight of him smiling with a friendly smile at the end of his words again.
It would not be wrong to say that he owed money, as he went so far as to investigate the culprit as well as the course of the rumor.
“do whatever you want.”
“hehehe, I won’t ask you too much, so you don’t have to worry. Then, go carefully. Prince Gregory.”
Leaving behind Scarlett’s greetings, I leave the student council room and immediately move towards the place where the culprit is.
There are still about 20 minutes left before the lunch break ends. Now, I could have guessed where the culprit would be, so I started walking towards the place where the first grade classrooms were gathered at a quick pace without hesitation.
wait a moment. Coming soon.
* * *
It was still lunchtime, so the classroom was noisy. Originally, there was no interest in me even though I came in, probably because I belong to the first year and shoot here and there in the academy.
Well, for me, this one is quieter and better.
He immediately raises his head and looks at the guy who first spread the rumor.
“Well, the other great devil, Mr. Eligos, appeared there and bowed his head to Gregory, and he was very surprised?”
The criminal talked as if he had seen what happened in Delinia right in front of his eyes. It was clear that talking like that had put on weight and got out of control.
“So what? So how did it go?”
Another student who is immersed in the story of the culprit and keeps asking for the story.
“What! With me at the head, they rushed in and dumped those bad necromancers. A sad farewell at the end… … … … Especially when Monk Eligo, who is said to be returning to the Demon World, was looking at Gregory with sad eyes, how sad it was… … … … ”
“Ahh… … … … ”
Yes.
Who would talk like that after going through that situation?
Who could have spread the adventures we’ve been through so far?
“It would have been dangerous without the help of Miss Tequila and Demonic. After all, it is best to deal with strong opponents with quantity.”
“As expected, there is no business in front of head count! That’s what it is.”
“that’s right! So, if there are guys stronger than me, I just gather stronger people and beat them!”
“cool. Rosé!”
“You have come on a great adventure!”
“lol… … … … ”
Yes.
The culprit is that guy.
“Rosé von Euglia.”
“huh? ah! Gregory! Did you find the culprit?”
Rosé finds me and welcomes me with a bright smile. Seeing that, I let out a sigh and approached him… … … … He immediately pressed his black crown with his fist.
“huh? Sudden stroke of the head——aaa! It hurts! It hurts! Go, why suddenly!”
“Well, since we found the culprit, aren’t we punishing you!”
“Bur, you are the culprit! It hurts! It hurts! Agghyaaagh!”
No way, I never imagined that Rose herself would be the culprit.
Rose, who had no friends except for a few. However, the appearance of Rosé, who rapidly rose in rank by clearing out big events at the same time as my appearance, was a great shock to the students around her and became an opportunity to approach Rosé one by one.
In response, the children wanted to ask the secret of Rosé’s rebound, so many children began to ask Rosé about what had happened so far, and Rosé began to tell stories of her adventures so far to answer the children’s questions.
However, Rosé had one big problem.
It was the fact that Rosé had no friends ever since she entered the academy.
Rosé, who had never talked to children her own age, was very flustered and excited when she suddenly saw children approaching her. The stories that spread have gained weight one by one and have reached this point. That was the whole story of this incident investigated by the student council.
Of course, I also had Gingamin at first.
Could it be that Rose is the true culprit of the rumor? To be honest, I didn’t believe it when I saw Rosé’s name. However, as soon as I checked the report on the back page, the image of Rosé came to my mind, and when I thought about it, I came to the conclusion that it was possible with Rosé.
In this situation, how can I not believe the report Scarlett gave me?
“It hurts! It is Gregorini!”
Seriously, I thought he was a summoner who couldn’t be stopped.
And, the result.
“… … … … I’m sorry everyone. Rumors spread because of me. I’ll be careful in the future… … … … ”
At the place where everyone gathered for make-up class, Rosé apologized to the other children involved in this rumor.
“I never thought that what Rosé proudly talked about would turn out like this.”
“I agree. Still, it’s fortunate that someone didn’t start with malice.”
Fortunately, the two children involved in the case accepted Rosé’s apology with a smile. And Rosé let out a sigh of relief as if he was really fortunate to see that.
“Thank you both very much… … … … ”
“no. I don’t know if it was a real rumor. The rumors that were spreading in the academy right now were actually nonsense. Sooner or later it will be dismissed as nonsense.”
Priscilla also heard that such rumors were spreading, and it seems that she believed that the rumors would disappear soon, as if she had independently investigated them.
“But it is strange. Just because Rosé is talking, it’s like the Demon King Rosé, or Gregory-sama being lecherous. There’s no way rumors will spread, right?”
Meanwhile, Tequila didn’t seem to understand how Rosé’s story could be misrepresented in such a way. And Raphael smiled and answered her.
“Because human rumors are originally like that. Rumors breed rumors, and those rumors turn into new rumors.”
Raphael is talking about a good story after a long time.
“So, it’s a world where even rumors give birth to rumors. Shall we have a baby too, Gregory? The child’s name is Gregor Jones. how is it? whooping… … … … ”
I tried to think positively of Raphael for the first time in a while, but thanks to him immediately spitting out strange noises, my perception of Raphael in my head could not change.
Who the hell brought him here as an angel?
really.
“In the end, this will put an end to the rumors floating around the academy. From now on, only Rose will have to be quiet.”
Rosé’s ears drooped as soon as he became sullen from the pack of tequila.
I didn’t want to see them stunned, so I opened the third page of Scarlett’s report in front of the children.
“Of course, it’s not just Rose’s fault. The people listed here are the ones who deliberately added false rumors about us.”
Yes.
She researched not only the source of the rumors, but also the students who added the strange rumors in between and passed them on to me.
“… … … … It’s more than you think.”
Priscilla sighs as she scans the names in my hand.
“Looks like you did this to keep Priscilla in check or bring down the recently emerging rosé.”
A tequila that could see through its purpose just by looking at its name.
“I agree with Tequila. I’m sure that’s what made the rumors so bizarre. So, I want to respond to them too.”
“Is it bloody revenge?!”
Rosé’s expression became lively as her drooping ears popped up.
‘Blood revenge’. That’s why you hear the demon king.
I shook my head and answered her question.
“Because we are students at the same academy, revenge for blood is a bit difficult. Instead, I am going to avenge what I was trying to do beforehand.”
“yes? The method Gregory-sama was trying to do beforehand?”
Rosé tilts her head as if it was unexpected.
If I explained it, it was clear that just imagining it would be terrifying, so I decided to spare my words.
