Declaration of War
We left the room.
As I was going back to the classroom through the hallway, I heard a voice from behind.
“Louis, Louie… Thank you very much… ”
Felice says softly.
“Ugh, thank you so much… ”
“What… ”
I blurted out my horse’s tail.
That’s why you have to work hard to face the Demon King.
Even Leo’s share.
… I mean, now that I’ve done it anyway, I’ll have to say something.
Both of them had tears in their eyes, so I didn’t say anything.
“Feel so good! Then, let’s choose where to go this weekend together!”
The master speaks in a joyful voice.
At first, it was the Master who didn’t like the two of them because of the things they did to me.
Other than that, I think they were fine.
Anyway, Master likes to go to homework.
I like the quest completion money, and in fact, I think I like it because I think I’m going to go play.
Now that the Veronica event is over, stop practicing the battles together like before.
Instead, can I do my homework while playing the way Master wants me to?
In the first place, last year, starting with Leo, the party composition was a mess, so I could never expect such a fun task activity.
I am also looking forward to it.
Anyway, the thought of dealing with the Demon King makes me worry about Aine.
To be honest, Aine is too weak to be a hero party right now.
Anyway, this isn’t a problem that can be solved just because I’ve been thinking about it.
After her event is over, she will wake up, so in the end, she has no choice but to wait.
No, recently, Master was also teaching Aine.
Because Aine was the closest to Master’s fighting style.
Master seems to be good at handling not only daggers, but also swords, spears, and fists.
He said he was most familiar with daggers.
Since Aine was learning from such a master, she might become stronger than the original.
I think so.
While talking about where Master wants to go to play, no, to do assignments.
We arrived at the classroom.
Come on, let me open the door.
As the classroom becomes quiet, the eyes of the classmates turn to us for a moment.
Right after that, though, he started talking again as usual.
As I just felt certain, our party is being ostracized from the class.
Needless to say, I’m not half of it, but I’m an academy official bully.
Master is an old prisoner whose origins are not even known.
Aine is a commoner orphan.
No matter how you look at it, it’s a difficult combination to make friends with.
In Felice’s case, it was thanks to the fall of the family.
And thanks to her lies, she became a new target of bullying by the cadets this year.
Although these days, thanks to our blocking, there is no more openly harassing her.
Even for me, who hated Felice until then, it was serious enough.
In particular, her blunt personality must have seemed unkind to some of the cadets.
In other words, Veronica is the only person at our party that the other cadets can approach.
The problem is that Veronica has a bit of a personality too…
Anyway, I’m used to it anyway.
We chatted and started moving to our seats.
And of course, Leo was in the same class as us.
Leo, who was chatting with the saint, met us.
“Chit!”
Veronica clicks her tongue in annoyance.
You might be surprised that her reaction is only this.
In fact, while I was in the hospital after losing my mind and collapsing.
Veronica said she had already gone to kill Leo.
From what I’ve heard, she didn’t have any injuries at all.
When he was able to move, it is said that he went to look for Leo.
And just like her personality, as soon as she saw Leo, she poured out mana without any hesitation and cast a spell.
Leo, who noticed later, tried to stop it.
It wasn’t anyone else, but Veronica’s magic, and there was no way Leo could properly stop it.
I tried to defend somehow by pouring out the overflowing mana.
He was seriously burned, and he said it would have been dangerous had it not been for the treatment of the saint next to him.
Well, on that day, the people around me ripped it off, and it was somehow ended.
Of course, it was something that could never have been overlooked.
In fact, the cadets who were around also questioned what the hell was going on, and it became a topic of discussion.
Leo didn’t say anything.
Obviously, if he takes this as an issue, his actions may come to light, that’s the calculation.
It means that there is a point in itself of acting like that anyway.
Anyway, it was Veronica who thought she would go wild again after that.
Whatever he had in mind, he was surprisingly calm as he is now.
even to me.
“Wait a minute, Louie.”
It was like this.
Anyway, I can’t go out like Veronica because I don’t have a back belly.
Obviously, it was Felice who hated Leo as much as she did, and Aine.
In Master’s case, he seriously asked me if I would kill him.
I asked you to wait a moment.
The academy has asked us to stay quiet until a conclusion is reached.
Well, I don’t know how it will end.
First of all, there’s Veronica, and she talked to her teacher, the Red Matapju.
It doesn’t make sense to just skip it as an academy.
In fact, if it were the character of the president I know, there would be no way I could get past this without Veronica.
and apart from that.
I was still looking for a way to hand over Leo’s position as a hero to someone else.
In the meantime, though, I realized.
There was surprisingly little information about the hero in this world.
No, the amount of information itself was large.
Most of that information is the hero who subjugated the Demon King.
Or whoever was a warrior who won what war, who married a princess.
Well, that was all there was to it.
Is there a lack of diversity of information?
The hero is dead, or there is a hero who has lost his character like Leo.
I couldn’t see anything like that.
No, I couldn’t even find a proper explanation for the Hero or the Demon King in the first place.
All I could find so far was the biography of the hero with a heroic and happy ending.
There was something bizarrely biased in the direction of information.
I also had my doubts here.
Anyway, the thing I need to worry about now is that I can’t find what I’m looking for.
The library in the Wallenstein Mansion was also very large, but the library in the Academy was incomparable.
If it is not here, there is probably nothing I am looking for anywhere on the continent.
Even if there is, I can’t access it.
There are areas in the Academy Library that I haven’t entered yet.
looking for a way to get there.
However, if there isn’t any material I’m looking for either.
I turned and met Leo’s gaze, who was staring at me.
‘The fate of the world is a gamble, and I’ll have to kill that one.’
—
“Long time no see.”
Duke Konrad Epsilt salutes dryly.
“Yeah, you bastard. What did you call me for?”
white hair and beard.
An old man with a ferocious appearance and still muscular body.
Duke Alexei Rurike is greeted by him.
“Haha, why don’t you stop using the word baby boy?”
Duke Epsilt said with a smile.
Duke Ryurike only snorted.
“Hey, your father and I were friends. you’re still a kid… ”
“Apart from that story.”
The Duke of Epsilt interrupts him.
“I will ask you straight up. Are you thinking of starting a new job?”
Duke Ryurike’s eyes widened.
Soon, he smiles wildly.
“hahaha, was that so? If that’s the case, I can forgive you for calling out this body!”
There was no explanation, but it was a question that anyone would tilt their head to hear.
Duke Ryurike was the one who understood it at once.
He asks the Duke of Epsilt with his eyes glistening with greed.
“Okay, where are you this time?”
“That’s it, it’s up to us now.”
Duke Ryurike, who looked puzzled at Duke Epsilt’s answer.
“Well? What does that mean?”
“Literally.”
“Wait, wait, wait.”
Duke Ryurike asked in a slightly heavy voice.
“Isn’t that what the imperial family decided?”
Duke Epsilt nodded.
“Yes. This time, without the imperial family, it was meant to be shared between us.”
Again, Duke Ryurike laughed out loud.
But his voice was colder than before.
“Your dream is big. By the way, do you think it’s possible? No, even if it were possible, I couldn’t be with a kid like you because I was anxious.”
The Duke of Epsylt grimaces.
“Well… The Duke of Wallenstein was the work of my father, but Count Rothschild didn’t help me either.”
“It was my work. Your father only helped me! And, Count Rothschild actually only did what the imperial family ordered… ”
smart.
At the sudden knocking sound, Duke Epsylt frowned.
I should have told you never to disturb me, but why…
Duke Ryurike snorted.
“It’s a good thing you’ve invited guests.”
“sorry.”
he opens the door
It was Duke Epsilt who was thinking about how to punish the person who knocked on the door or whether to be decapitated.
Hearing his knight whispering softly, he too had no choice but to understand the knock.
“The Red Horse Tower has declared war, Your Majesty the Duke.”
