198. Secret Societies (1)
“hey! You don’t even communicate well! Aren’t you being too mean? I knew he was that kind of guy. haha!”
“Ugh, uh. Tongue, brother, let go of that… … !”
Viktor wrapped his arms around my shoulders and swung me around to express his delight.
I couldn’t figure out why these people were in my room, so I couldn’t get my mouth shut.
“Uh, um… … .”
Should I start by saying hello?
“hello. long time no see.”
“Yeah. this child. Are you treating me awkwardly now?”
Viktor grumbled as if he was sad. I feel like the only bad guy.
I didn’t mean that!
you’re just so embarrassed is not it? Aren’t you surprised when my room is filled with people like this right after class starts?
I thought about it, but I didn’t show it.
Once I calmed down my surprised heart, I closed and locked the door.
As he entered, he felt the chill from Cain on the tip of his nose.
I felt like I would get a hit on my forearm if I sat next to him, so I sat down on the bed slightly apart.
‘I’m dying of discomfort.’
The disadvantages of not dividing buildings by gender were immediately highlighted.
There were good things about being able to be together, but there were also uncomfortable things about being too close.
‘Jade gave me the password, right?’

Kill them when they meet. That was all I could think of now.
I had to be under Cain’s fierce gaze, suffer from Viktor’s delight, and feel Bell’s unknown aura.
The more you think about it, the more ridiculous it gets.
What combination is this again?
Even if it was Cain and Viktor, I couldn’t understand why Bell was in my room at all.
“therefore. Why are you all gathered in my room?”
I was lucky that I had some complaints.
“I have an important story.”
Bell answered as if he had been waiting.
And the news she brought me was quite bewildering.
To be precise, I expected it, but the place and timing of talking about this were amazing.
Why am I telling this important talk on the first day of school, on a sunny afternoon, in my room with no security at all?
‘Goal hits. really.’
Bell first started with the story that Ackerman had received the revelation of the hero.
The main point was the story that only Ackerman was chosen for the sealing sword used by a great hero named Acheron.
It was originally written by me, but there was no problem since all memories of the user had already been erased by Acheron’s authority.
A warrior’s revelation.
Resurrection of the Demon King.
demon worshiper.
Several serious stories came out, and eventually reached the story of the secret society.
“It’s a secret society.”
A secret society formed for the purpose of overthrowing the demon king and worshiping the demon tribe, and is active in Act 5, centering on Bell and Ackerman.
Afterwards, this death squad will have content to recruit the main characters one by one, and an event to take care of Ackerman’s final battle, the Three Gods.
In fact, the story can be seen as the entirety of Act 5.
In terms of the game story, there are currently only Bell and Ackerman.
After looking at the recruiting target… … .
Cain.
Siana.
Odelia.
Ponte.
Hoya.
Hilda.
This will be enough.
In order to convince them, the main story is to clear the quests given by the characters one by one.
Then, according to the revelation of the sealing sword Acheron, the quest to farm the equipment to defeat the demon king is given.
―Eye of Entero
-Nastal’s Oath
―Rachel’s Phoenix Egg
All of them were the weapons of the heroes who went out to subdue the demon lord in the past.
In game terms, Entero’s Eye supports 100% critical hits, Nastal’s Oath is immune to all debuffs and interruptions for 10 minutes, and Rachel’s Phoenix Egg adds 1 life coin.
On top of that, even the sealing sword that was the weapon of the great hero.
These are essential items in the Demon Lord War. Without any of these, subjugation is impossible.
‘Ackerman must be busy.’
Unfortunately, that weapon of the Great Hero did not exist in the Hall of Heroes in the academy.
I’ve confirmed that Entero’s eyes are there before, but the other two are kept by the royal palace and the Vatican, so you’ll have a hard time.
This is Bell’s story.
It is said that he created a secret society to overthrow them while bringing up the story of the demon worshipers who were involved with the pope.
The members of the death squad are recruited one by one, but Cain, Victor, Ackerman, and Siana are all recruited, but now it’s my turn.
‘It’s fast. I’m doing well.’
Of course, this is just a cosmetic process.
In the first place, I was the one who mentioned the secret society to Bell Iruthy earlier.
Bell knew all of that, but when people offered to recruit me too, she couldn’t refuse and came to me.
Thanks to that, Bell and I had to pretend we didn’t know each other the whole time we were talking.
“All right.”
I obediently joined the secret society.
I was the one who informed Bell about the secret organization, but somehow the rest of the people seemed to regard the candidate saint as the head of the secret organization.
This must be a secret between me, Belle, and Lorena.
Anyway, thanks to the fact that I created a secret organization from the 4th act, the main story progressed quite a bit.
Originally, the secret society had just been created and they started recruiting them one by one, but they had already recruited more than half of them.
‘It’s good if you prepare in advance.’
So far, my plan was going successfully.
As it is, the season of external missions begins without incident, and it is time to collect weapons in earnest.
Even people who were not in the plan, such as Victor and Lorena, were included, but there is nothing to worry about as they are reliable people.
“Good! In order for me to be active as well, I came to work as a teaching assistant for priests!”
“It doesn’t suit you.”
“Isn’t it usually the right time to praise that you look good together?”
I say it because I am friendly. In any case, it was true that he was glad to be back.
No wait, then… … ?
“Is this why Lorena opened a wine and cookie shop?”
“right!”
As if he had waited, Viktor took out her hit product, ‘Cookies with the outside and inside,’ and boasted.
Viktor’s return to the academy and Lorena’s business were all in order to organize activities for the secret society.
All of this was running like a cogwheel on a plan.
No, wait. Was I the only one who didn’t know?
It’s an organization I created, and I… … Were you bullied? Oh, wait a minute, some tears.
Viktor was talking hard without stopping.
He talked about his terrible church life, and talked about the curriculum he was going to teach this time.
In the meantime, I met Bell’s eyes, but every time Bell strangely avoided my gaze.
I wonder if it’s because the two of them know the ‘secret’ of the secret society, so if they see each other, they’re going to burst into laughter.
I thought I would laugh for no reason, so I decided to avoid making eye contact.
“Ah, good talk! It’s usually a drink on a day like this. It’s been a while since I’ve unwrapped the hoepo!”
“Isn’t the reason you came back to your brother’s academy was because you wanted to drink?”
“Oh, how did you know? I cannot deny it.”
I haven’t seen Viktor one-to-day, and this human’s head is as clear as the palm of my hand.
You will enjoy the escape without any desire.
“We will talk more about it next time. I will contact you first. All the members of the death squad, please be as normal as you are.”
Bell put her chestnut bobbed wig back on in a calm posture and said.
Seeing him speak, he seemed quite like a leader. I looked at him saying I was doing well. Bell was startled and averted her eyes.
“Then I will get up. If I’m away for too long, people watching me will notice.”
“Yes yes. Candidate Saint, please go back with me.”
Viktor did all the talking, and all Belle did was sit still and smile benevolently or say a few words.
He used to talk less, but lately it felt like he had lessened significantly.
She becomes more and more aware of her role as a saintess and becomes more serious, but it is true that she is a bit worried when she sees her weight even in a position like this.
‘I don’t know if I’m burdened too much.’
Even during vacation, we exchanged regards through contact beads, but talking face-to-face is another story.
I really need to take my time. There is a sense of procrastination because I have been distracted for so long.
“Oh! Candidate Saint!”
Viktor was about to leave my room with Bell when Viktor suddenly blocked the way and called out.
“yes… … ? What are you doing?”
“Come to think of it, I haven’t even heard the name of the secret society yet.”
“Eh, what’s your name?”
Just looking at Bell’s back, you could see a look of bewilderment.
She cautiously turned around and asked for my help.
For Bell, I’m asking me because I’ve been active in this organization for a very long time.
But, isn’t it strange to say the name of the organization with my mouth here?
I signaled her with my eyebrows to make up her mind.
Bell hesitated in amazement.
“Yeah… … The name of the secret society… … . That’s it.”
The name of this organization that appeared in the original game is 『Warriors of Light』.
I wondered if Bell would say ‘warriors of light’ as set up… … .
“… … Ether.”
“Yes?”
Victor asked again.
Bell lowered her reddened face and decided on the name of the secret society.
“Crusaders… … yo. this.”
bell. Are you also in second grade?
nice to meet.
* * *
“Close it.”
Being left alone with Cain made me feel uncomfortable, so I opened the door and signaled to her not to leave.
The answer that came back was as cold as the ice valley in the Prelod Mountains.
“Uh, yes.”
“sit down.”
Why! Why can’t I refuse!
It wasn’t that I was threatened by a knife in my throat, but my back felt hot for no reason. Cain’s eyes and voice were as sharp as the blade of a swordfish.
“Why do you keep lying?”
“What a lie.”
I just grabbed it and averted my gaze.
The reason I didn’t make eye contact with Bell was because I was trying to keep from bursting out laughing, but things were different this time.
‘scary… … .’
It was because I was afraid that if I made eye contact, I would get scared and blow it all up.
“You’re the one who saved me in the North.”
“I was at the mansion at the time?”
Cain didn’t give up on what he had been asking all through the vacation and was attacking.
Cain’s obsession was scary in a different way.
Why are you so obsessed with it?
There’s no reason you’re doing this. Mr Cain.
“Are you going to keep pretending?”
Cain narrowed his eyes and took out something wrapped in luxurious cloth.
“… … This?”
“It’s your hair.”
A few strands of shiny hair, black as obsidian.
It’s a bit ridiculous. Are you just sticking your hair in as evidence?
“Why is your hair?”
“It was on my clothes when I was rescued. Just look at your hair.”
“It must have just been buried by someone from your family.”
Cain laughed. It was a face that knew that.
“Isn’t that? There is not a single person with black hair in our mansion. Abella, Bunga, servants, and even puppies!”
uh? really?
Do you think so? Even I, a veteran player, have learned something new.
There is no black hair in Abella’s mansion!
This is not important… … .
There must be a reason for being so persistent.
what did i do wrong Was it because you were careless that you found out that you were in a great demonic state?
Suddenly, I started to worry seriously.
“No words. It was you too.”
“not really.”
Deny once and see.
“It could be the hair of someone you met while passing by.”
“I know that? All northerners are blonde.”
“The merchants probably aren’t.”
Cain sneers.
“How do you know I met a merchant?”
How do you know, since I read Bahanuntu’s report journal… … Alas!
I was too careless in front of Cain. I was properly caught off guard.
Did you notice that the demons were monitoring you? Do you even know that I became a great demon?
When he was worried about all kinds of things, Cain spat out unexpected words.
“As expected, you were following me… … .”
His eyes and voice suddenly turned warm. And a hand gently stroking the back of my hand.
Why is he suddenly like this?
“Follow me. What are you talking about.”
“Idiot. do you know i don’t know I was somewhat aware that someone was following me.”
No, you penetrated Bahanuntu’s stealth? how?
Then, I realized
The fact that Cain also has the ego sword ‘Sword Fish’.
Even if Cain didn’t notice, with that sword, he would have at least noticed the ‘existence’ following him.
‘Bajanuntu’s journal says he didn’t notice. So, did you act like you didn’t know?’
Cain smiled lightly and touched my cheek.
“I didn’t pretend to know you on purpose because you don’t seem to want to be found out. It would have been better if we had gone together. Wow, that was cute.”
No, he misunderstood so badly.
“I am not… … !”
“Idiot. I only told you about going around hunting monsters, right? Other than you, who follows me?”
“What?”
oh, this is sh*t
According to her words, the culprit had no choice but to be me.
Hair, alibi, Cain’s trap.
All circumstances were pointing at me.
In such a certain situation, it is impossible to confess, ‘You actually made it to a demon?’
If I did, it would really kill me.
“Are you worried about me? yes?”
Cain asked with a face that didn’t know what was so exciting.
The answer was already decided.
I was properly caught in Cain’s entrapment.
It’s definitely not me, but I have no choice but to answer that it was me.
This is the real slope.
I gave up everything and nodded.
“I worried.”
Then, Cain quickly stood up with his cheeks blushing.
“Hehe! It’s very rude to secretly chase after a lady, but since it’s you, I’ll forgive you~”
Then, with a curiously excited gesture, he put on his overcoat.
“I will contact you later. Choose in advance what you want to eat.”
Cain walked out toward the door. He didn’t even give me a chance to say anything.
“I’m a bit busy today. Then see you tomorrow?”
Cain smiled and turned the doorknob. I quietly waved my hand and lay down on the bed.
The moment I try to catch my breath, thinking that the fuss is over now.
“yes? Cain? Why is Cain coming out of Aren’s room?”
My heart sank.
