139. cheat keys (3)
Ackerman’s hometown is a small city called ‘Redderi’ located in the southern part of the kingdom of Aeonia.
His hometown is located at the beginning of the elven forest, so he has been close to nature since he was a child.
When he was young, he was adventurous, wandering the elven forest and exploring caves. There were many dangerous things, but it is clear that the experience at that time made him strong.
“Hmm. I never thought I would come here again.”
Ackerman stood at the beginning of the Great Forest with his bag wrapped around him, scanning the forest. Akerman’s luggage was in his right hand, and Akeron, the sealing sword, was in his left.
His attire was also comfortable sportswear, and just by looking at his attire, it was easy to tell that he was here for ‘training’.
―Hero, are you ready?
“Of course, Lord Acheron.”
Acheron introduced himself to Ackerman as the ‘sealing sword of a great hero’.
Ackerman, who admired the great hero, had his eyes light up as soon as he heard that comment, and there was nothing more to say after that. Ackerman sincerely believes in and follows Acheron.
There were some problems, but thanks to the success of persuading him in the end, Ackerman has now become a believer in the sealing sword.
“By the way, I have a question for you, Acheron. Can I do it?”
―He won’t take my question lightly, but I’ll allow it.
“thank you.”
Ackerman bowed his head, holding the sword in his left hand forward. If anyone saw it, they would have spit out the sound of a madman.
“Will demons really attack the academy and resurrect the demon king?”
-There was wisdom. It’s a story told to me a long time ago by someone who could see the future.
This was the script that Aren informed the sealing sword in advance.
‘An ancient seer told him the future, and Acheron slept until the hero appeared, and finally awoke… … It’s a boring story.
Of course, Ackerman believed this story with red eyes. It was also proof that Aren perfectly penetrated Ackerman.
―That’s why I woke up after hundreds of years. ‘Ma’ is coming, and the world is in danger. I will give you strength just as I gave strength to my colleague and comrade-in-arms in the past.
“Geuhup… … thank you Lord Acheron!”
Indeed, Ackerman is easy to fool. Every time Ackerman easily believed Acheron’s story, the sealing sword was repeatedly convinced that Aren was the possessor.
-Then let’s go. During the vacation, you guys should grow beyond recognition. To the point of slaughter the demons!
“All right!”
Ackerman exclaims boldly, and finally sends a message with the contact marble.
– Princess. Stay healthy during your vacation and see you later.
The reply arrived right away.
―My Love Princess: I hate you.
ok How come I feel uncomfortable from the beginning. He declared that he would train with desperate determination, but seeing Elace’s reply, it is true that his heart was weakening.
The lesser Acheron corrects him again.
―There is nothing more important than love, but we must not forget that you are a hero. If the demon king is resurrected, who else will protect that princess!?
“Ji, that’s the right word!”
Ackerman clenched his fist again and entered the elven grove.
This is the beginning of the closing ceremony.

“Areaen… … .”
Sianna grabbed my sleeve and wouldn’t let go.
From earlier, he had pouted his lips and puffed out his cheeks, expressing dissatisfaction with something, but he kept his mouth shut.
“what’s the matter.”
“Areaeen… … .”
It was like a puppy that didn’t want to let its owner go, as it was limp without energy.
So even though it was time for the carriage to depart soon, my steps did not fall easily. Lorena was trembling in the carriage, and Annie was holding onto the carriage door, waiting for me.
“Siana, I have to go now.”
Time was too late. I really had to leave now, so I grabbed her by the shoulder and began to gently comfort her.
“If you have something to say, say it now. Is something bad happening?”
“No hey… … .”
Shiana didn’t tell me why she didn’t want to let me go.
If I dare to guess with my shallow knowledge and intuition, I think ‘Bell’ might be the culprit.
Apparently, Shiana was keeping Bell in check, and she didn’t really like me going to see Bell. I can’t say it openly, so I moan like a puppy.
“There will be nothing to worry about. So please pay attention to what I ask of you.”
“Ugh… … .”
Shiana let out a deep sigh and let go of her hand holding me.
What I asked Sianna for was research on the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’.
Until the highlight of Act 4, I would have needed something similar to the Philosopher’s Stone, but Lorena’s speed now felt a little lacking.
So, Shiana used the cheat key to make the Philosopher’s Stone.
It’s because Siana’s knowledge and intelligence will definitely come in handy.
I also planned to accelerate my research on the Philosopher’s Stone during this vacation.
“Hey, Aren.”
Instead, Shiana grabbed me one more time saying she had a favor to ask of me, which was shocking.
“I’m going to stroke my hair… … . Then I will study hard.”
I felt like I was doing something wrong all the time.
Well, how can you refuse when you look at me with such pitiful eyes? This is a really big deal.
.

“young master. The love business seems to be going well.”
When I returned to the carriage after sending Sianna away, the sound of Annie’s voice was spectacle.
“yes?”
“Oh. Are you pretending not to hear everything? You seem to be getting cuter and cuter.”
Annie covered her mouth with her hand and smiled slightly.
It’s really jingling.
“animated film.”
“Yes, sorry. because you look good I’m embarrassed.”
“ha. It’s not like that.”
“All right.”
“Hands covering your mouth. Look down.”
Annie couldn’t help but open the carriage door.
“Puhh… … . Come on, let’s get on.”
I stared at it for a long time, wondering if this was the lady-in-waiting who served me as the owner, and Annie started to take a bite.
“You haven’t forgotten Lady Cain, have you?”
“under.”
Homunculus, who had lived for hundreds of years, thought I would never be defeated, so I ignored it and got on the carriage. I promised myself that one day I would truly educate Annie.
“young master. Although they say they’ve gotten along recently, you shouldn’t forget that the place you’re going to is the Vatican.”
“I know.”
Blackfire and the church have been enemies for a long time. It’s a relationship where you shouldn’t be vigilant because everything will change overnight. Annie warns of that.
“Yes. Then, I will be waiting for you at the Silver Tower with Miss Siana.”
“yes. please animated film.”
Annie kept her expression as if she had never done that before and bowed her back. Even though the jokes were mischievous, she played the role of a lady-in-waiting so perfectly that it was hard for me to say anything.
The carriage started.
A flag with a black dragon symbolizing Black Fire flutters. The two horses are also prepared as ferocious black horses.
Normally, I would refuse to ride out of embarrassment, but this time was an exception.
It is necessary to use the prestige of the family to clear Lorena of false accusations. This is because the Vatican thought that such a performance was necessary to use some strength.
“Senior Lorena. Do not worry too much.”
“… … i’m so scared Seriously, what if I’m contaminated with Magi?”
After all, Lorena is just a student.
In front of the mighty power of the Vatican, even the confident woman can’t help it. It’s only natural for one person to be so weak. I felt sorry for her frizzy, faded, wine-colored hair.
“Lorena-senpai is like a member of my family. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best as the next head of Blackfire.”
They were Hilda, Lorena, and those who had contracted to work in the Silver Tower. In other words, if there is a problem with them, it means that they have an obligation to take responsibility as the next head of Black Fire.
“… … okay. thank you.”
Lorena sighed at my words and calmed herself down. It seems much better than before.
“Since you say that, you really sound like a great nobility. I didn’t know that usually. It looks a little different.”
“is that so.”
It was an exaggerated statement just to be relieved, but it seemed that the meaning Lorena accepted was a little big.
“And don’t worry, Viktor will be there too.”
“under. That guy was there, too. Just hearing the name makes me smile.”
Lorena finally found a smile. It seems inevitable that his hands tremble as he sips the drink.
Even though Viktor is so foolish and seems immature, he is the son of a cardinal in his own way. As he is aiming for the next cardinal position, his power cannot be ignored.
He would definitely be able to help Lorena.
After running for several hours, Blackfire’s wagon proudly entered the Holy See.
Surprisingly, as soon as I entered this place, my itchy forehead was completely healed.
‘Is Bell’s power getting stronger in the Vatican?’
I began to sense Bell’s divine power.

“Stop. I will check your ID.”
“Please get off the carriage.”
The new guards of the Vatican branch, Geld and Pirnar, checked everyone who visited with their discipline in full force.
After graduating from the Priests Division, they were nervous about not being able to find a job, and since they were introduced by Viktor, the two of them worked harder than anyone else.
Today, as always, I was spending a proud day dealing with visitors and checking to see if there were any suspicious people.
As usual there were no problems. I liked it too. It was peaceful itself.
That is, until a wagon with a black dragon banner appeared, reminiscent of a battle wagon.
A man with a white face like a vampire got out of the carriage and a haggard woman who was dying.
All of them were suspicious.
Geld and Pirnar’s eyes crossed their eyes, and the two began to be wary of the unusual people with one mind. not ordinary people
“Here it is.”
But something amazing happened. Isn’t that the suspicious man holding out the Bars card?
What is Bars Cardra?
The pope, cardinal, and archbishop had the right to a free pass that allowed anyone to prove their identity and freely enter and leave the Holy See.
‘What the hell is this human? Have you lost your fear?’
‘How dare you counterfeit the Bars card?’
Without the slightest hesitation, Gerudo and Pirnar regarded the vampire-like man as an impostor.
That’s also true, because the two of them didn’t go well with the church… … .
If you say that you are a worshiper of the demons, you will nod your head without a doubt, but these people have Bars cards?
It was judged that it could not be done without a cardinal or an archbishop mad.
Gerudo and Pirnar exchanged glances once more.
He deliberately pulls a conspicuously decorated wagon and holds out his Bars card.
It was an award no matter who saw it. terror? attack? Anything. It must have been an emergency.
How did you get a job!
You can never just let this go. I was also taught to report anything suspicious.
“Could you wait a minute? Call the captain of the guard.”
“Do you have any problem?”
“It is a matter of procedure. Don’t worry.”
Pretending to reassure the man, Gerd visited Onir, the commander of the guards. My heart is in a hurry.
Pirnar was very nervous, prepared to pierce the man with a spear if he behaved in the slightest nonsense.
“… … Are you really okay?”
The red-haired woman trembled with anxiety. Seeing that, I became even more convinced.
‘As expected, there’s something!’
The moment the doubt turned to certainty, a suspicious man took a step closer and asked.
“It’s a Bars card, what’s the problem?”
It’s threatening. I don’t like the eyes. How can a person be so gloomy and sinister? Why are dark circles so bad?
Feeling his head stand on end, Pirnar immediately thrust his spear at the man.
“Oh, don’t come! stand still Raise your hands!”
“… … ?”
The man frowns. Are you finally revealing your true feelings? Pirnar gulped and began to pray inwardly.
Call the prayer of bondage at any time.
‘I’m going to use this opportunity to make a mark!’
While Pirnar was catching the terrorist, Gerd finally called Onir, the commander of the guards.
Gerd already jumped forward holding the spear, and Onir exclaimed with a solemn expression.
“Who is it! Who dares to counterfeit the Bars card!?”
“Hey, I see! Captain!”
an imminent situation. Pirnar’s hands trembled and he did not take his eyes off the man in front of him.
The man seemed to have given up, but he did not show any reaction.
no rather… … .
‘Smile?’
That’s amazing. Don’t you know what situation you’re in? Or, was it maddened by fear?
Whatever it is, you’re done, you bastard. Even if you counterfeit it, it’s not enough to be fearless to counterfeit the Bars card!
It is just before the ball is set.
The day will finally come when you will be praised by Onir, the leader of the Tiger Guard.
――!
… … As he was so thrilled, Parnar felt a tremendous shock in the back of his head and fell forward.
“Eh?”
“Hey idiots!!!!!”
Something went wrong.
A cold sweat ran down Parnar’s back.

“You must keep your thoughts clear, your posture correct, and your heart directed toward the Lord.”
“The God of Light is always with us. We must never stop praying to Him. Candidate Saint.”
“You have a lot of thoughts in your mind. Empty, empty, throw away. Nothing else matters.”
Belle Irushi was summoned to the Vatican as soon as the semester ended, and was training as a candidate for a saint.
Even so, it was a tedious and painful schedule of repeating prayers and praises in one place.
For Bell, who is not religious, this kind of practice is just painful.
Bell felt only skepticism about what the title of ‘candidate of a saint’ was, which entangled her.
‘If there is a God, please save Sister Olivia…’ … .’
She wanted to run away right away, but Bell held it in even for the sake of Sister Olivia.
Forcing herself to believe that becoming a true saint was the happiness that Sister Olivia wanted.
“… … Today’s practice ends here. Now go and purify yourself, and pray before going to bed.”
The archbishop in charge of her education leaves, and Bell finally relaxes her tense body.
It is frustrating. The air is thick and dark, and even the view is narrow.
Half a day has already passed. Belle has to pray for half a day every day in a place like this to nurture her faith.
“no… … .”
The more you repeat this difficult process, the more your faith in God disappears.
Can I really be a saint?
no. Bell already knows. that it is impossible
If this continues, the pope, the cardinals, and the archbishops will notice. That Bell had no qualifications or qualifications as a saintess candidate.
When that time comes… … Will Bell be safe?
Will she be able to live comfortably in this world with the identity of a fake saint woman candidate? I can’t leave it alone in church. It’s good if you don’t kill it.
No dreams, no hopes, no plans for the future. I feel like my life is gradually falling apart.
Rather, staying at the academy was much more fun and made me feel alive.
At the academy, though, there was no such thing as tying oneself up like this. Rather, there were people who treated themselves comfortably.
‘Senior Aren.’
Suddenly, a man comes to mind. Strangely, I want to see him.
There were also many questions.
The man gave off the impression that he was deliberately trying to hide his incompetence.
“You should ask when the vacation is over… … .”

Kiik-
At that time, the archbishop who had gone out returned. Bell was nervous again.
“Candidate Saint.”
“… … Yeah? What happened?”
“A guest has arrived. What should I do?”
Guest?
Bell asked, a little excited, just in case.
“who… … Joe?”
“This is Arren Blackfire.”
Bell didn’t notice the corner of her mouth rising for an instant.
“… … Boo, please call me.”
