202. error (3)
“These crazy people… … !”
As soon as I ran out into the lobby, I found Devlani and Iden.
Where did you come in so fearlessly?
It’s not even a human, it’s a perfectly normal demon!
There are strict guards around, and skilled mercenaries also patrol the academy.
In addition, even outstanding professors are on duty, so how did they break through the security guards and come into the lobby unscathed?
Unlike me, who can transform into a human, Devlani is saying that’s impossible. Just walking around gives off demonic energy, so you can’t escape the surveillance network.
Polyjuice worked because it was a sepia town. It’s really dangerous to do that in the middle of the academy.
By the way… … .
Where are you?
No matter how much I searched, Devlani and Iden were nowhere to be found.
Even if he tried to feel Devlani’s energy using his senses, he could not find the enchanting demon.
‘what?’
There’s no way I can’t detect her presence.
That’s why Devlani was… … .
That you didn’t come here.
“Stir.”
“Well?”
As I continued to look around the lobby, someone spoke to me from behind.
He had his head down, but somehow it felt like he was avoiding my gaze.
The face was also the first person I saw.
Now that I am in my third year, I can roughly remember the faces of quite a few cadets.
Now, it was clear what it meant to have a new face in the dorm lobby.
“Aiden?”
“Shh, shh! People de, listen… … .”
I knew it.
Devlani sent the text like that after only sending Iden. Devlani made fun of me pretending not to be. How dare you play a prank on me?
Even so, I couldn’t say anything because it was a good thing to send Aiden by faking his face.
It was true that Iden was in the lobby, so it was not wrong.
‘Ah-oh.’
It’s nasty. I hate you.
I took another quick look around. People are always animals who are less interested in other people’s affairs than they think.
In the lobby, two men were watching the surroundings suspiciously, but no one cared about this side.
“What about Devlani?”
“count… … We are waiting outside Sepia Village.”
insecure voice.
I haven’t heard of this person since Aiden was sent to the Demon Realm, but it seems that he went there and was severely beaten.
The 3 princes who were confident and fearless could no longer be found.
Right now, there are only weak human beings who live as fugitives and get hit and run here and there by demons.
‘You bastard Krakchar. How much do you pay for being a fan?’
Every time I said a word, Iden trembled. It’s even to the point of feeling pity.
“No, why did you come in the first place? You should just wait outside.”
“I-I said I wanted to come in… … .”
“uh? why?”
“Sah, because I miss people… … .”
Aiden’s eyes were wet as he said that. It was Mannani’s bitter words.
* * *
“Raise your hand straight up.”
“Hey… … .”
It wasn’t until after midnight, when most were asleep, that I sneaked out of the dormitory and met up with Devlani and Iden.
Naturally, Devlani scolded me.
First of all, he reprimanded me for not contacting me carefully, and for doing something dangerous by arbitrarily complying with Iden’s request.
I was going to say something about bullying me, but I decided to pretend to be pitiful and move on.
When I asked why did you accept Aiden’s request?
The answer came back saying that it was so pitiful and that they wanted to show results quickly somehow, but those were excuses that would not work.
“Is it because you don’t know how meticulous and dangerous humans are?”
Whenever I talk with demons, I always think of humans from the perspective of demons.
Even if I didn’t want to, this was the inevitable flow. I guess that’s how spies feel.
“Sorry… … .”
Devlani begged my forgiveness with the most pitiful face he could put on.
There’s no way.
We need to raise awareness of what this guy just did.
“Raise your hand straight up.”
“yes… … .”
Devlani dropped his pointy ears and held his arms upright.
‘Well? What is it?’
He seemed to smile a little when I got angry… … I must have seen it wrong because it was night.
I turned my eyes again and fixed on Iden.
“Report.”
“Yes, yes!”
Iden, who was fidgeting next to him, opened the map he had brought with him in amazement. It was a map depicting the Aeonian kingdom and the surrounding terrain.
“I know, there are three hiding places in total.”
Aiden pointed to the map with his finger and pointed out the location.
Surprisingly, all of his lairs were inside the kingdom. It was not a place outside the Demon Realm or the Kingdom.
One was a small city right next to the capital, one was the northern entrance of the southern elven forest, and the other was a mountain not far from the academy.
Then Devlani intervened.
“Me and Krakchar have been all over the place, and we confirmed that they are staying at ‘Marus’ mountain near here.”
She lowered her hand and sneaked up to me, looking at the map with me. It was embarrassing, but I didn’t bother with it any more.
“Are you sure?”
“yes!”
Devlani confidently answers. On the contrary, since this guy answered vigorously, why am I anxious?
Anyway, there is no one I can trust properly.
“Shall I make it right?”
Devlani asked with her amethyst eyes shining.
Close your eyes for a moment and think deeply.
From now on, every decision and action I make must be directed towards causing errors in the system.
Only then can I change the destined future, the death fate of my friends.
Argon, the main villain role that runs through the entire story, is a character that can make a big difference to the system.
The Argon guy must play an important role.
Not just to play a role in influencing the story, but to mess with the system.
Let’s think of one by one.
Making Argon the main villain again?
The system is already replacing the pope as the main villain. In that situation, if Argon was promoted as the main villain again, there would definitely be an error.
However, being replaced by the pope in the first place was changed because of me, and it was not foretold by fate from the beginning.
If Argon was put up as the main villain again, there was a strong possibility that the system would shout ‘I rather like it’.
That must have been the original story.
‘Except for this.’
So what kills argon?
It’s not an easy problem.
Anyway, since the Pope came out as a substitute villain, the use of Argon became very ambiguous, and even its survival became unclear.
‘Should I keep him alive?’
It was even questionable if the system would make more use of him.
If you kill Argon in such a situation, the Pope’s main villain system will be more solid. Because the system is already preparing for that situation.
If that happens, I have nothing to lose, and since Argon is already weakening, there is nothing much to change.
From the moment I realized that the variables and story were being controlled by the system, I didn’t put much meaning into killing Argon.
There is definitely a personal grudge, but you don’t have to kill it to achieve the big goal of clearing the story.
then… … .
How to make the system in trouble while repaying the grudge?
There’s no point in just killing them. There will be no inspiration.
If you let him live and let him do villainous things, there will inevitably come a moment when he gets caught.
Then again, it’s best to bother Argon and make the system unusable again.
At the same time, destroying it altogether would be the best way.
And in a way the system never expected.
“Devlani.”
“yes?”
“You said you were an enchanted demon, right?”
“Yes. Whoops.”
Devlani suddenly laughed coquettishly. I don’t know what to say and how to make that face.
“How far can you enchant?”
Devlani thought as she rubbed the bottom of my lips with the tail of a heart.
“Well… … . I do not know. I’ve never done it before.”
Then she put her hand on my forearm and whispered.
“Then~ Shall we try to seduce Blackfire?”
I got goose bumps.
Why do the faces of Sianna and Cain come to mind at this moment? A cold sweat broke out at a rapid rate.
My instincts were screaming no way. I just experienced it clearly. ‘Death’… … .
“Uh huh. Don’t cross the line.”
“Yes.”
Devlani turned away sullenly.
“Eh, hmm. It was a joke, but if the opponent is defenseless or unable to resist, it will work against the Demons.”
Devlani patted my tail and laughed. It was a pretty confident smile.
Is ‘fascination’ a nickname for nothing? It was an understandable expression.
Certainly, it wouldn’t be strange if he lost his mind and died by sucking all his spirit.
Thinking of that, at the same time, I smiled with a repentant smile.
“then. Can you knock Argon out of his mind?”
“yes? I do not like it. It’s not even my taste.”
“no. not what to do I’m telling you to hang yourself so that the longing wears out. like a dead man.”
Devlani thought hard and then clapped his hands as if he had come up with a good number.
“So? You mean crawling like a dog!?”
I don’t know how you understood what I was saying, but it must have made sense.
“Well, that means.”
At that moment, Devlani’s face changed forever.
It was a beautiful face that seemed to bring all the beauty of the world together.
“Heh. Just leave it to me.”
With a lethal laugh, Devlani grabbed the hem of her skirt and pretended to say hello.
“then… … What should I do with him?”
Devlani raised his head and kicked Aiden’s calf with his toe.
“Uh, uh… … ! Wrong!”
Aiden stood up violently, like an earthworm wriggling.
‘Why are you doing that?’
No, what the hell did these guys do to Aiden, why did humans peck like this?
I told you to give up your soul… … .
Well, the torture of demons and humans are different concepts, right?
I stopped thinking more. When I think about it, only terrible things come to mind.
To begin with, Iden is a villain.
The maniac itself that harassed Cain and the people around him. This much was still only the beginning of karma.
I just wanted to clean the bathroom in the demon world and tell him to rot for the rest of my life, but Iden is still a useful guy.
“Iden.”
“Yes Yes… … !”
As soon as I called his name, Iden knelt down and bowed his head as if he had been thoroughly educated.
It was different from the time when he was treated as a ‘vessel’, and I really liked his attitude as if he really served me this time.
My shoulders feel proud for no reason. Being worshiped by humans makes me feel like a ‘real’ Demon Tribe.
Above all, this guy still maintains the status of the 3rd prince.
This means that there is still honeydew left to suck.
“You go back to the castle.”
“… … ?”
Aiden raised his head. His eyes were full of fear.
“Well, what did you mean by that?”
The palace has been a fearful place for him ever since the pope urged him to commit suicide.
But now things have changed.
At that time, there was no force supporting Aiden, and now there is a great demon, ‘Blackfire’.
“You have nothing to fear. I’ll look after you.”
“… … !”
I promised him full protection.
It is to protect him with my power, the shadow.
“Dear Overlord… … ! Calm… … !”
Aiden This guy seemed to expect me to throw away his mulberries after eating them.
So this must be a surprising reaction. You see me as such a bad guy
“Instead, you have work to do.”
“What, what is it?”
It’s good to make a seed that works for me even in the royal castle.
If he is the 3rd prince, he is a person who can fill the role.
“Go. Stay sober. as a prince.”
“Yes… … .”
“And invite me the day after you make some say.”
It is to create a legitimate means to go to the royal castle through the three princes.
And there were many things to do when I went to the royal castle.
You need to check the location of the demon king, make a plan for what to do next, and make sure that Odelia is also safe.
and… … .
‘Three divine prayers.’
Bell takes the three gods in the Vatican, and I take the three gods in the castle.
It seems that Ackerman only needs to find one.
‘Let’s think about whether to give it up or not.’

I worried about everything, but nothing I feared happened.
Throughout the day, this spear did not disappear.
Instead, another window appeared before my eyes the next morning.
