174. Erwin(2)
The main gate of Imperial University.
Ervin naturally stepped in front of the checkpoint.
As always.
“This is Erwin Rosenthal.”
“Yes. Go through.”
Clap!
The moment she passed through her checkpoint, Erwin felt the pressure around her wrist.
She looked back in surprise and saw that she had already had her handcuffs on her wrists.
The strong barrier of her handcuffs was activated, completely blocking her use of magic.
“What is this-“
“Yes, Professor. Erwin Rosenthal, we have you arrested at the gate. Would you like to come yourself?”
“What are you doing, this!”
“This was the head professor’s order. Even if it’s uncomfortable for a moment, please follow the rules.”
“This is out of control!”
The guards were reckless.
No matter how hard she tried to struggle, Erwin was only able to break her arm and get overpowered.
She may have gone about 5 minutes with her face stuck in her wall.
From far away, I saw Professor Ludwig trudging towards me.
She had never looked as sullen as she does now, though I always thought she was sullen.
Erwin shuddered at her, unable to get rid of the impression that she was like a grim reaper who had come to take her own life.
“Erwin Rosenthal. Describe your actions over the past two days.”
“That, that’s… Actually, I was partying with my friends all day…”
“Call the address. Tell me all the names of the friends who were at the party. I’ll go check my alibi right away.”
“·······.”
Her mind seemed to go white.
Professor Sergei, who trusts me deeply. You could make a rough excuse, but he couldn’t work with the head professor.
“You have to tell me what the situation is!”
“You know that best. You cute b*tch who planned to free Untier and assassinate the professors, but escaped alone along the way.”
“Ugh…”
Erwin hiccups in surprise when the head professor thrusts his head in.
This wasn’t a doubt, it was a level of confidence.
There must still be a hole through which to escape.
If you say that what you said earlier was just a cover-up, and if you can make up a proper alibi from now on…
“It’s okay to keep it closed like that. It’s enough to take your blood and test it. Then it will be immediately determined whether or not you are a bugger who has received the power of demons.”
“Chae, what if you refuse to draw blood?”
“Then I’ll have no choice but to do it by force.”
“That’s illegal.”
“You must not know that no investigation method is illegal when it comes to a prime suspect without a proper alibi.”
The head professor took a needle out of his pocket.
It’s ruined.
I haven’t built a perfect alibi for two days yet.
How far does the Imperial University investigation department know my whereabouts?
When did you figure out when I disappeared?
Since I didn’t know that, I couldn’t hastily create an alibi.
No, even if I knew, I didn’t even have time to think of it because my head was now a blank page.
It was the moment Erwin closed his eyes as he watched the needle approach his finger.
“Head Professor. Please release this.”
“Schlus Heinkel······.”
Surprised by the touch on her shoulder, I turned around and found Enschluss Heinkel there.
What is it? Are you planning on cutting off your tail?
Erwin stood there blankly for a moment, dumbfounded.
“I am a suspect of an escaped terrorist. Let the investigation department take care of it.”
“Teacher Erwin has an alibi.”
“You have an alibi? For the past two days, I’ve been checking every corner of the new city boundary. But I’ve never seen this graduate student pass by. Can you elaborate on his whereabouts?”
“Yes. I’ve been in the old town all along, so I guess I didn’t get caught.”
“Where did you stay in the Old Town? Address.”
“It was Serena Motel. FYI, if she went to the motel owner, she wouldn’t get any evidence that she saw me or Erwin.”
“Why?”
“That’s because we both went in disguised with magic.”
“Why is that?”
“Because it would be dangerous if rumors spread that a knight under the direct command of the Emperor entered such a shabby motel alone with a woman and did not come out for two days.”
“·······.”
Only then did the head professor stop the barrage of questions and shut his mouth.
Unable to understand the meaning of the exchanged questions and answers, Erwin’s head turned to both sides of the extension.
The head professor glared at the expressionless Schluse Heinkel-
“Okay. Your Majesty’s direct knight is defending you, but you can’t arrest and draw blood without permission. You’ve just been removed from the line of suspect, Erwin.”
“Ah…”
Clap.
The head professor sarcastically whipped his hand around, and his handcuffs opened and he fell to the floor with a thump.
Around the time Erwin was gripping her tingling wrist, Schluss grabbed it and led it.
“Ah! It hurts!”
“Are you insane? Going to work through the front door?”
“So what? Secretly digging a tunnel to go to work?”
“You should have contacted Professor Sergei in advance to get protection. Right now, the investigation department is obsessed with finding the fugitive. There will be no one but Professor Sergei and me at the Imperial University to protect you.”
“Anyway, thank you. For making me an alibi…”
I thanked him, but Schluss glanced at me strangely.
Wanting to know why he was like that, Erwin was thinking about the question and answer from a moment ago-
“Ahhhhh! Hey! Hey you madman! Who’s going to a motel with you! What’s that? You’ve been there for two days?”
“Be quiet. It has already happened.”
“Ugh…!”
When I realized the meaning of that alibi, my face turned red.
Soon, the embarrassment turned to anger, and Erwin was huffing and puffing.
“I really won’t let you go.”
“Your little brothers are really cute. Did you say Robin and Louise?”
“Hey! You! Cowardly… Eww?!”
Just as he was about to scream in rage, Schluss’s grip covered his mouth and pressed him against the wall.
She couldn’t utter a sound because the fingers in her mouth blocked the movement of her tongue.
Meanwhile, the voices from across the wall drew closer, then moved away again.
When the sound had gone far enough, Schluss let go of his hand.
“Fuhaaa!”
“You still don’t understand the subject. You’re not my servant. You’re just a handmaid. You will absolutely obey my orders. Got it?”
“Ah…”
“If this happens again, then your brothers and sisters will pay the price. No second warning. Did you understand? Answer me.”
“·······.”
“Right.”
When he nodded his head vigorously, Schluss finally walked away with a faint smile.
That man only wanted to use me.
On the outside, it seems like you’re doing it for me, but in the end, it’s just a defense to use as a spy.
Erwin said, “For a moment, she couldn’t read his intentions. She felt grateful. She felt so pathetic and stupid.”
“Anyway, are you okay?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“What?”
“What are you going to do when a more specific question comes in? Just looking at it, it looks like a virgin who never crossed the threshold of a motel… Aren’t they exposed right away?”
The footsteps of Schluss Heinkel, who was about to leave, stopped.
Then he turned around again with an annoyed expression.
It must have been a straight line.
No one would ask Schluss Heinkel specifically about the course of the act.
But it should have succeeded in scarring Schluss Heinkel’s pride with this.
Erwin felt a moment of exhilaration at the thought that she had given him a shot.
“Then, let’s prepare the answers in advance for the questions.”
“Huh? How?”
“I reenacted Dan’s situation as an alibi. Starting today, the two of us will be living alone in a shabby motel. Then there won’t be any need to come up with an alibi. I’ll just tell you what happened today.”
“·······.”
Schluss Heinkel approached again and pushed her in the face. Erwin dyed her ears red and turned her head away.
She didn’t have the confidence to look her in the eye.
She didn’t like those empty eyes that demanded action as if nothing was wrong with her.
“Wouldn’t it be better to check whether it’s a virgin or not?”
“That, that’s…”
“I was kidding. If you spend two full days in a motel, your younger siblings will have to starve.”
“·······.”
“Don’t ever think about provoking me again.”
Having nailed it like that, Schluss Heinkel tied up his necktie and walked away.
It was only then that Erwin’s relaxed legs lost strength.
Erwin, who leaned against her wall and collapsed, dropped her head.
“f*ck you bastard…”
-I can hear everything.
That’s right.
She had no right to gossip behind my back.
Again, her tears came out.
.
.
.
“Suhueup······.”
What number was it?
She wanted to kill Schluss Heinkel.
Ludwig picked up the cigar and let out a big sigh.
“What the hell are you thinking, Schluss Heinkel.”
Imperial University has already been attacked twice by one force.
Once it was attacked from the outside and allowed to infiltrate, and the other time it was attacked from the inside by a spy.
In both cases, there was someone he was persistently targeting, and that was Schluss Heinkel.
So they clearly recognized Schluss Heinkel as a threat and were trying to get rid of it, but Schluss was strangely uncooperative with the investigation.
Of course, there could be no lies in Sergei’s defense of his assistant.
If you seriously believe in the nonsense that Schluss Heinkel, who has a commoner attendant, dared to seduce a graduate student and went to a motel in the old town to quench his s*xual desire.
Even if that were all true, Schluss’ attitude was somehow strange.
There was no physical evidence, but somehow it seemed like they knew more than the investigation department but didn’t share information.
“Is it a delusion…”
Since Schluss Heinkel is bluffing around so much, he must have seemed to know everything.
Ludwig shook his head and erased all doubts about Schluss from his mind.
If you tried to stab the black eagle-honored hero of the system and a knight under the direct control of the emperor without any physical evidence, this side could have been changed.
Since now, Schluss Heinkel has become so big that he can’t be touched by the position of head professor at the Imperial University.
“Artifacts are more of a problem than that.”
An artifact that can detect the power of demons in blood.
That was half useless now.
Of course, if the blood collection was successful, it would be possible to immediately test it, but there was no way that those who had been transfused with the power of demons would readily give blood.
“A nationwide compulsory inspection is necessary.”
If forced blood collection is impossible, this artifact is useless.
Therefore, it was necessary to prepare a legal basis for forced blood sampling by making a recommendation to the emperor.
Ludwig clenched his fists with determination.
