Even after that, after having small talk with Arrieta.
I headed for my original destination.
I wanted to spend more time like this, but I have a purpose and Arietta is busy, so I can’t help it.
“Marie, let’s go.”
“yes.”
After returning the crystal ball for communication to Olivia and starting to move, Marie follows with quick steps.
“There is something I want to ask you.”
“yes?”
[King] Thanatos.
The variable caused by him is now disgusting.
It has been like that since before. The boy’s behavior has been unpredictable since before.
It is said that the flow has changed from the original, but this guy is severe.
It’s not even close to being the original. The guy shows behavior worthy of the term “butterfly effect.”
Compared to him, the rest is fine. Even if things go wrong, most of them move along the line of prediction.
“Do you know anything about King Myung’s recent actions or purpose?”
“Sorry Oz, I don’t know.”
“Is that too?”
Marie was silent.
probably don’t know
In the first place, Mari was the discarded group of [Myungwang]. There was no way I could have taught her more information than was necessary.
“But your brother might know.”
“brother?”
“Pied brother.”
“ah… … .”
Even if you want to meet him, he is not a person you can meet. Because he went under Janus.
“Come to think of it, how long did you say it was until he regenerated?”
“uh… … . Wouldn’t it have happened again by now? Paid oppa is the sincere one.”
Do you get up late if you’re lazy?
no. What… … . I’m curious, but I don’t feel compelled to ask.
“I want to ask you many questions, but… … .”
We have arrived at Stasia’s residence.
It’s an embarrassingly grand building to call it a dormitory.
Well, naturally, her escort is also full.
“But why are there only guys who are close to meeting each other?”
It’s a first meeting, but I’m sure he’s a skilled person. Fighting for self-defense is permitted in ＜Skientia＞ as well.
And that rule, of course, also applies to those who stand guard.
In other words, I may need a battle to get through here.
So what’s the problem?
There is only a guy who is a first-timer here.
Yes, it’s just a first impression.
“Where did Discre go?”
The problem is that the most dangerous guy can’t be seen.
The world’s most dangerous assassin is nowhere to be seen.
That fact holds me back like a thorn in my throat.
“Seeing as you haven’t responded even after talking to me from earlier, it seems that you have no intention of having a conversation… … .”
It wasn’t that I couldn’t hear the exact inside story from Lucia, but it must be certain that the current Stasia is not the one to show others.
“Can you tell me where you went? I’m on the heavy side.”
“… … .”
“Well, not as much as you guys.”
Are you really not going to say a word? Still, I’m also the king of a country, isn’t it too arrogant?
“Hmm… … .”
Shall we pretend to be an arrogant authority figure?
It’s easy to use my social position to prank.
Even those who are mere escorts will be uncomfortable if you threaten them under the pretext of international affairs.
However, if there are people who work for it, there will be people who do not work.
And Discre is a man that doesn’t work.
“Discrete Punisher. Do you really think you can get in the way against me and Marie?”
Of course, this is a lie.
If it’s a discre that’s close to an assassin, it won’t be a problem to subdue me and Mari, who can be called wizards.
A glass cannon with no potential. If that is the image of a general wizard, a warrior is one who sweeps the battlefield.
Moreover, it goes without saying if it is a master of stealth.
“You’re not going to come out even after I said this? Then there is nothing you can do.”
In a battle with such a discre, I have no choice but to do my best.
“number of animals.”
“yes?”
“Open it.”
“… … yes?”
Marie, who was extremely obedient, raises her question for the first time.
She tilted her head, as if not understanding what I meant, and then asked with a shocked expression.
“uh… … . really? Aren’t you scolded by the headmaster?”
“it’s okay. I will take responsibility.”
What’s the best way to deal with an invisible enemy?
“Open the way to hell in this world.”
You just have to swallow the whole space.
Fraud is the power that gnaws at people’s lives just by existing.
The hell she unfolds will reach the hidden discree as well.
It has an invincibility called [Schrödinger’s Cat], but it can’t be maintained for long in front of the power of a cat that changes the space itself.
“Be open.”
darker surroundings.
Hair melting into darkness.
Gray eyes shining in pitch darkness as if they were eaten by the darkness.
Another [Pyeongwang]. The power of Marie Cistus encroaches on the surroundings.
Of course, I have no intention of actually opening the door.
I said I was responsible, but no matter what, this is a major accident.
“Life… … .”
What I was aiming for was to bring out the hiding person at the desired timing.
It is said that the road to hell is opened in this world, but no matter how hard it is, it will not be possible for this guy to come out.
“Thank you for falling for the obvious ruse.”
“… … .”
A red-eyed black cat, Discre Punisher, appeared breaking through a part of the space that Marie had encroached on.
The guy froze as he attacked Marie with an expressionless face.
transcendental magic
[Round Table – Dangerous Seat]
A space where anyone who does not allow it cannot stand. Those who set foot in this realm without my permission were unable to move as if time had stopped.
Caught a discrete.
“Nice.”
Anyway, Discree is a great guy. I’ve never seen a guy so well guarded.
Still, he showed up with a wooden sword, not a weapon, because the opponent was a student.
Of course, the wooden sword had reached right in front of Marie.
“????”
And it wasn’t just Diskrae who was stopped.
Same goes for Marie.
He was frozen in the same position as he was about to use the key.
Those innocent eyes are painful.
“No, that… … . I’m sorry.”
I couldn’t help it.
This guy does it. He’s a guy who really does it.
No matter how much you do, you can’t make ＜Skientia＞ a mess.
But it was because Mari had that side of her that she was able to fool Discre.
“by the way… … .”
If I had known you would look at me like that, I wouldn’t have developed transcendental magic, but in a sense it’s regrettable.
Even at this moment, I couldn’t see the guy’s full power.
“Aren’t you going to back down after this?”
The most dangerous enemy, Discre, has already been defeated. Moreover, what I used was transcendental magic.
Without information, there is no defense.
There is no way you can rush to the scene while watching the discrees that cannot move as if time has stopped.
Yes, it’s true that I couldn’t go out in the first place, but… … .
“… … Well, you guys have a position too, so there’s nothing you can do about it.”
They still didn’t move, blocking my way.
What can I do? They are imperial dogs whether you like it or not. There is no choice but to obey the order.
But at the same time I am royalty.
No matter how far-fetched it is, touching me could lead directly to international issues.
It’s too heavy a problem for an individual to handle.
“Oz, what are you going to do now?”
“Well.”
Marie, freed from the magic before she knew it, tilted her head and asked.
This strange confrontation must be uncomfortable.
But what?
To be honest, I thought that defeating Diskra would get me out of the way.
In the first place, I didn’t even think that there would be guys who were truly loyal to Stasia.
But I should have thought.
Not to be loyal, but to be loyal.
The situation is at odds with each other.
By now the monsters should have started agitating from below the surface.
“It can’t be helped.”
Now that this is the case, there is no choice but to either defeat them and walk past them or quietly retreat.
Look at this. I am the bad guy again.
It has already subdued even the discreet. It would only be a unilateral loss if we retreated from here.
I won a bet with her. A little rudeness will be more than enough to offset the cost of the bet.
However, if you withdraw from this, you will not have a chance to have a conversation on an equal footing. You will just lose the price of the bet you have earned.
You have to force yourself to push through here. That way you can have a conversation on an equal footing.
“sorry but… … .”
“Oh, a guest has arrived.”
Just then, a creepy voice came through the crack in the door.
That voice froze everyone including me and the escort.
There is nothing to check who it is.
That is the [Goddess Princess], Stasia Van Helios.
“Ahh… … I can’t. It shouldn’t be like this. ha… … . this is true… … .”
“… … Marie, it would be nice to go back as well. It is not right to harass innocent escorts for our purposes.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s it.”
Yes, this coercive method is not good. No matter how conflicting the situation may be, shouldn’t it be harming others?
We need to find a better way.
Isn’t that the nature of human nature?
I’m not trying to run away.
“I was waiting. all along… … .”
There is no way you can have a conversation with ‘that’ in the first place.
A crackling sound comes from beyond the steel door.
Is it a fingernail or a tooth? I don’t know what it is, but it’s a scratching sound.
It gives me goosebumps.
The sound, the absurd power felt from within.
-Your Highness has grown too. It’s not the Highness you were when you collapsed at the drop of your blood.
Lucia’s words flashed through my mind.
She said Stasia had grown up. Not just resistance to blood, but physical strength as well.
No, not growth. Rather, it would be more accurate to call it liberation.
yeah, i haven’t forgotten
That she was so strong and threatening that she was originally the main villain in Chapter 13 of the main story.
“Marie, I’m asking just in case, but if Princess Stasia attacks, can you subdue it?”
“… … .”
Marie is silent.
Again this is quite rare. Was it enough for her to hesitate even though she answered quickly?
“You are talking too much.”

Kwajik!
The metal door is dented.
It is the space where the princess of the empire resides. Except for the escorts, there were plenty of defenses.
It wouldn’t have been soft metal… … .
He crushed it with brute force that didn’t even use mana.
That’s not a matter of talent or skill, it’s literally pure monster.
“If you say that, it’s as if I’m going to attack you two, right? That I would do something so ungrateful?”
“Dignity? … .”
Talking about dignity at a subject that drools and glares at like that.
Whoever sees it, isn’t it the eyes that face the prey, not the guest?
I was complacent.
I’m crazy for thinking I’d train something like that. That was a beast that could not be shackled in the first place.
A hungry beast that does not quietly accept and eat the meat of the breeder, but devours the breeder who gives it to you.
“Ah, Your Highness Oz. okay. Are you here to get paid for the bet?”
“I thought so… … . Are you willing to keep your promise?”
Stasia slammed the door completely and came towards me with a graceful gesture. Well, even if it’s elegance, it’s just gestures.
“The price is clear… … Was it Lucia’s help for a 100-day rental?”
“… … .”
It is rational. Clearly, the words and behavior are in a rational state.
But that’s all.
“Um, but it’s difficult. To subdue Lord Diskre… … . I can take this as a challenge to the Empire.”
“How about offsetting that for the price of a bet?”
“Then there will be change.”
I wonder if the value of the discre is okay with that… … . It will be fine.
Anyway, that’s what’s important.
Stasia’s condition is not serious.
The rhetoric in analyzing the case is still skillful, and the demeanor is gentle and dignified.
But it’s bizarre.
The fluttering hair, the dripping saliva, and the void-filled eyes cover everything.
The boundary line between consciousness and instinct.
A state like a sandcastle that can collapse at any time if you touch it.
“Sueup— ha… … .”
And a situation where the wind seems to be blowing towards the sandcastle.
“Then, Your Highness Oz? What business do you have with me?”
Mari, who had been brought to prepare for her, and the numerous knights to escort her had now lost their meaning.
“Where, relax. Shall we have a conversation in a quiet place?”
She is on the verge of being swallowed up by madness.
I never thought it would be in a similar state to the original for a different reason… … .
“… … good.”
no, it was better
The situation is dangerous, but her reason is still there.
We can’t miss this opportunity in a situation where we don’t know if it will recover in the future or if it will get worse.
“Would you like to have a cup of tea now?”
What I have to do now is a sandcastle game called Conversation.
However, what needs to be dug up is not sand, but a topic that will benefit both parties.
The flag that shouldn’t fall was protected by her as the princess, reason.
“Whoop whoop whoop.”
Well, isn’t that a familiar thing?
Walking a f*cking tightrope with a dangerous woman.
woman.
