Episode 36. Raven Henderson(4)
Henderson looked back and had to doubt my eyes.
Schlus Heinkel, who had no idea what to do with gratitude for saving him, was raising his hand.
And the finger was pointing at Henderson.
“Did you think you could break into the dormitory and return safely?”
“Ha! hahahaha! Oh, you want me to have a fight right now?”
Henderson realized the meaning after a while and laughed like crazy.
It wasn’t a laugh that came naturally from a head injury.
It was a genuinely ridiculous laugh.
“Didn’t you tell me my name earlier? I’m Henderson! Crow Henderson! Don’t you know? Crown Prince Assassin! The strongest crow! None.”
The name of the crow Henderson is unknown to all across the continent and beyond the Empire.
He was so synonymous with fear that there was even a legend that Henderson would catch a child when he cried in some provinces.
Even so, you’re still going to attack me.
Henderson smiled for a while, then shook his head and smirked.
His eyes were staring at him, but his mouth was torn and he was smiling, a rather bizarre color.
Dang······························· Dang
“Isn’t there anything you can do about your seniors?”
The clock rang at midnight.
I don’t think it’s because I don’t know the name Henderson.
He was so engrossed in his talent that his cockiness seemed to pierce the sky.
If that’s the case, the only way to know is how high the sky is.
If you inflict a fatal wound, you will have a hard time working when you become a crow, so you should avoid vital points.
Then… will I even rip off the chin?
If you seal it up quickly with magic, there would be no danger of death.
That cheeky mouth won’t be able to talk anymore.
Henderson put his hand in his pocket and fiddled with the glowstone inside.
“Education must be done in advance…”
While speaking, he pretended to be a mistake and dropped a glowstone.
As the glowstone made a small noise as it rolled over the ground, Schlusz’s gaze was focused on it, not surprisingly.
Henderson closed his eyes tightly and shouted in delight.
At that moment, the glowstone exploded and scattered flashes of light everywhere.
“·············· Sure!”
“Ugh?!”
Henderson’s new model jumped to the front in an instant.
The moment the glowstone exploded, Schlusus, who was looking straight at it, must have lost his eyes.
It was a simple but sure trap that took advantage of human vigilance instinct.
In that brief moment, because no one can think beyond instinct, he has never failed.
Now all that’s left is to pull out the jaws of Schlus, who lost his sight and became incapable of combat.
It was the perfect surprise.
“uh?”
Henderson’s eyes widened as he thought.
Schlust’s hand was pointed directly at Henderson’s head.
Even if he moved to the side, his fingertips just followed and aimed at him without a single error.
You must have been hit directly by the glowstone explosion, but how do you see it?
This was the moment when a question like that popped into Henderson’s mind.
“bread.”
“······································································!
A soft word came out of Schulus’s mouth.
Immediately after that, a huge wave of magical power came over Henderson.
Magical dissipation magic. I couldn’t react because it was such a fast-paced magic, but it was okay.
The output of magical power that has not undergone elementalization is not that high.
A lump of magic broke through the barrier that surrounded Henderson.
There are still three more layers of barriers inside.
Of course, Henderson was relieved, thinking that everything would be blocked.
“uh?”
When the 2nd and 3rd barriers were broken one after another, I was embarrassed.
But by then it was already too late.
Henderson’s dagger was about to pierce Schlus’s jaw.
“Huh! Ha ha ha ha!”
Paang!
The magical tidal wave hit Henderson’s head as it was.
Unable to withstand the pressure, Henderson’s head shattered, shards of blood and flesh splattered behind him, polluting the hallways.
Henderson couldn’t reach Schlust in the end and just fell to the ground. with the head lost.
“············”.
At that grotesque sight, Schlusus was at a loss for words for a moment.
***
If this was a movie, I would never get a full audience rating.
I suddenly thought of that as I saw the bloodstains splattered everywhere.
“under······.”
In the end, he succeeded in killing Henderson.
I just felt that feeling, and the tension was relieved.
There were no great tricks.
It was just that Schlust’s body was immune to glowstone.
There’s no use in blinding the already dead eyes.
Next, he used ‘Selection and Concentration’ on his magic, pouring all of his magic into him at once.
His quadruple barrier would have been able to defend against any attack even if it was unexpectedly attacked.
It was set to be enough to block even if 50,000 mana was used as it is at zero distance.
But what if 100,000 mana was poured out?
It pierced all barriers in an instant without even reacting to the magic that unfolded in 0.01 seconds.
The result is this snippet. The sight of blood and flesh scattered everywhere.
I want to delete this
I guess I’ll have to change the wallpaper and carpet all over again.
“…Mr. Emilia?”
Something hit and hit his back.
Emilia grabbed my clothes and buried her face in her back.
“Why…why…why….”
There was a strong tremor, and an occasional sniffling was heard.
No, I guess I’m crying…? Steel heart Emilia?
It couldn’t be.
This must also be smoke. Because Emilia is not a great person to be terrified of just like this.
At the moment my heart was pounding, the reason within me quickly came to a conclusion.
“I was very scared. I’m fine now.”
“No, it’s not….. Why… why are you holding a knife to your neck there…?”
Is this acting…?
In the middle, the sound of choking and snoring or snoring kept confusing me.
So it seems like Emilia was really worried about me.
“I’m sorry. Because of me… I almost died because of me. It was just a disturbance…”
what’s just a hindrance.
If Emilia hadn’t worked hard and didn’t take the time, maybe my hair would have flew away before the cooldown of her ability passed after 12 o’clock.
“No. If Emilia hadn’t made a sound, I wouldn’t have woken up. Emilia saved my life.”
it was fake I never slept in the first place.
Something was wrong and I kept waking up.
“But why…why are you risking your life for something like me…”
“Aren’t you my attendant? From the day I signed the contract, I was obligated to take responsibility for Emilia-san’s life.”
If Emilia dies, Hurt Locker will become a villain that no one can control.
So I had no choice but to risk my life to save it.
Emilia’s death is the same as the destruction of this world.
“Mr. Emilia.”
“yes?”
I turned around and looked down at Emilia.
His face was just covered in tears and runny nose.
If you want to become the ace of the intelligence agency, you have to act like this… admired
“You may terminate the contract if you wish.”
“Yes? No. Why did you sign-“
“Think carefully before answering. Because it’s a life-threatening event. This will continue to happen in the future. Like today, Emilia-san will fall into countless crises.”
I’m talking seriously.
To be honest, every time I ask if I can save Emilia like today… it’s hard to answer that.
If Emilia dies, the complete blackening of the Hurt Locker will make the ending a million light-years away, so she must save her life.
With that in mind, it is right to drop Emilia down.
However, the advantages of having Emilia by her side are also not insignificant.
As of now, Emilia is the only link between the Secret Service and me.
It means that I have to carry Emilia with me to appeal that I am harmless to the spy agency and that I am more favorable.
If you can’t attract the intelligence agency as a colleague, it’s also the same as going far away from the ending.
So Emilia is like a double-edged sword.
“Each time, I’ll do my best to save Emilia-san, but there are times when I’m unlucky. It’s not always possible to guarantee safety. Would you like to remain as my attendant though?”
It was a very difficult task for me to choose.
So I handed the option to Emilia herself.
will it remain will you leave
Emilia’s answer was obvious.
Of course she wouldn’t have known it would be this dangerous…
“I’ll stay.”
“······Yes?”
I thought you were leaving.
how did this happen
“If it’s okay with Heinkel, I’ll stay with you. I’ll do my best to serve you. I’ll try not to get in the way. I’ll follow you to the end of the continent. So please don’t cut it…”
Emilia grabbed my hand with both hands and pulled me closer.
okay. Emilia was a person who valued the success or failure of the operation more than her own safety. I remembered that late.
Now, this means that her desperate efforts to make the operation a success are absurd.
I pulled out my hand, holding back the laughter that was about to escape. And then he handed it to Emilia again.
Emilia, who tilted her head for a moment as she looked at the hand, carefully grabbed my hand, as if she had realized my intentions right away.
“Then the contract is renewed. Let’s raise the salary by 100%.”
“Fufu, thank you.”
Emilia looked up at me and gave me an alluring smile.
Even though I knew for sure that it was a calculated smile to shake my heart, I almost fell for it.
Emilia was so beautiful that she smiled with tears in her eyes. And it was attractive.
Seeing my character that I created shone brilliantly, I felt an unknown satisfaction and burst into laughter again.
***
Post-processing was carried out in an instant.
As soon as the name Henderson was mentioned, Sergei and Ludwig were summoned in less than an hour, and the mansion was closed down with investigative officers and an investigation began.
Surprisingly, the conclusion came quickly. It was concluded that Henderson was the owner of the body.
I thought I had figured it out without a head.
It must have been that he had collected fingerprints in advance.
“Are you hurt?”
“Yes. That’s fine.”
Sergei approached and spoke to him.
Without pounding his back hard as usual, he had a rather serious look.
“I’m glad you’re safe. There are so many things I want to say, but I’ll start by saying I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Since the last terrorist incident, I was also in charge of the investigation, but this has happened…
Sergei shook his head slightly.
Although the school is responsible for intrusion, there is nothing Henderson cannot break through among the barriers created by humans.
It was like an unavoidable disaster.
Nevertheless, Sergei’s broad arrogance was revealed in that he had to bow his head and apologize to the commoners.
“Okay. First of all, I’m sleepy and want to sleep, but when will I be able to use the mansion?”
“No, are you sleeping? You killed Henderson….”
“It’s tomorrow’s class, Professor.”
“Zeep. He seems like a carefree guy. Yeah. Let’s take a deep breath and talk about it tomorrow. But it’s probably difficult to use a single room in the dormitory tonight.”
I thought so.
The death of Henderson, whom the imperial family has been pursuing for years.
The mansion will probably be unlocked only after the Imperial Police and all the people from the Imperial Palace have come to check it out.
So, I want to give you a room in the dormitory.
I’ll be staying there for a while.

Just as I was thinking, I heard a soft voice from behind.
“So, I’ll give you the president’s dormitory.”
“Yes?”
“If you want, you can stay there all the time, or you can return to the dormitory for singles later. The president doesn’t use the dormitory anyway.”
I turned around and saw Ludwig with his luggage behind him.
Does the president’s residence refer to that huge four-story mansion located on the school grounds?
that it’s empty? why······?
‘ah.’
Come to think of it, there was a setting that Alexia would lie down on the desk of the president’s office and sleep.
If you were the president of Imperial University, it would be no wonder to have a mansion on the school grounds, so that huge mansion was empty.
The president’s quarters, which were hardly even mentioned in the original, would appear like this.
However, there is one person who suddenly becomes in trouble when the mansion becomes more than doubled.
Emilia. Her cleaning burden increases tremendously.
“It’s a place protected by the high-power barrier of the president, so you won’t have to worry about being attacked.”
“Okay. I’m sleepy first, so I’ll go and sleep first. Emilia-san?”
“Yes? Oh? Yes….”
“But why are your monks there?”
“You seem shocked to see the blood. Don’t worry about it.”
Emilia followed me behind me with a confused look.
I felt intuition as I watched him stumble without strength.
That’s not smoke.
Perhaps he regrets signing a new contract by now.
