147. clue
“Release your anger in moderation.”
Even if I spoke to Arni Duratan, who was sitting with her lips poked out and her arms folded, she just turned her head and publicly appealed that she was in a bad mood.
In the past, she had the feeling of a tough warrior who knew nothing but swords, but did she change like this after falling in love?
I glanced at Ares, seeing the feeling that I am a woman. From the guy’s point of view, he can’t do this or that.
While wanting to know about the imprints on the backs of both of his hands, he knows that his girlfriend will be very upset if she takes our side here.
“Hey, your boyfriend might be in danger. What’s wrong with showing you how many kisses?”
“It won’t work.”
May said, scratching the back of her head as if she was annoyed at the time being dragged on. Rin jumped up and came towards me.
“Can we show it too? Daniel, stick your lips out.”
“hey! for a moment!”
Rin pushed right in from the face. I, who was sitting on the bed, panicked and immediately ran back, and Mei also hurriedly ran.
“Why are you doing that?”
“It can’t be helped.”
“Then I…!”
The two start bickering again.
I’ve heard that they’re in the same class A, but I have no idea how they got here and share the same room.
“Do everything in moderation. Arni, I understand your feelings, but this is also important to Ares. That’s why you, my girlfriend, are also talking about it.”
When he said, subtly appealing that if it weren’t for that, Arni scratched the floor with his finger and hesitated.
“Okay. By the way! It’s not that I didn’t show you our height or a kiss! It’s not like you guys made fun of me!”
“Well? then?”
“My, how did I vacate the room! You can’t use it!”
Arni Duratan shouted with a blushing face.
From what I heard earlier, it seemed that since I was in this room, I was about to move over to Arni’s room. Did you ask your roommate to sleep somewhere else for the day?
“……”
Ares also kept his mouth shut, but from the look on his face, he agreed with Arni.
These are talking about the end of the world, but they say that reproduction and pleasure are more important, right?
Anyway, it’s already too late. If we wait longer than this, there will be kids who can’t wake up tomorrow.
“Okay, I’ll vacate the room tomorrow, so the two of you. Don’t use my bed instead.”
Then, Ares and Arni smile brightly and reply that they know. hey, that’s good
Seeing them so happy didn’t make me feel too bad. Until now, I thought the two of them were in trouble, but when I saw it, was it because they genuinely liked each other?
It wasn’t just the couple who reacted to my words with shining eyes.
“Daniel comes to our room and sleeps.”
“Five! Is that good?”
Rin and May raised their hands and shouted, but of course they refused.
“Don’t worry, I can ask the other boys.”
I thought I could sleep in the boys’ room in the same class, but Rin tilted her head and asked.
“Daniel doesn’t have any close friends with boys.”
“What are you talking about.”
With an absurd expression, I tried to call the names of the boys I was close to and fold my hands.
“Uh… um.”
none.
There is no real one.
The only thing that came to mind was the moment when, from the point of view of Ares, I became seriously concerned about how people were living in the academy.
“Don’t worry about that, I’ll take care of it anyway.”
I naturally close my fingers that are not folded at all and try to evade it.
If it really doesn’t work, why not just stay outside and come home? I lived in the forest of the Demon Realm, but it was easy at least in the back alleys of tourist cities.
“Anyway, let’s talk about it. It’s about the imprint of Ares and Rin.”
Now the atmosphere is calm. The four of them sit in a circle around me and concentrate.
“First of all, who doesn’t know that I went to the royal palace last time?”
Ares and Arni raise their hands. In particular, Arni asks me with a surprised expression.
“I can’t believe the recent dethronement of Prince Oliver…”
“Oh, I’m in too. But this is not very important.”
Arnie mumbles to himself what is more important than dethroning the prince of a country. Ares warned me from the side, so I kept my mouth shut for now.
“There, I dealt with a woman called the shaman of time. The ability that woman had…”
So I kept the description of the decisive battle with the shaman as short as possible, and explained the part where I read her memory because of the technique called the ‘balance weight of time’.
“The shaman’s purpose was to block the engraving power that Rin possessed. And the person who helped it was called ‘saviour’.”
He raises his hand and points to Ares.
“One of them is you, Ares. The reason why you have the engraving of the sun god Helios is to stop Rin.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Ares.
He glanced down at the patterns on the backs of his hands once, then slowly turned his gaze to Rin.
“But I have no intention of killing Rin.”
“I’m not confident that Ares will kill me either.”
“……”
He said it in a cool way, but Rin replied calmly. Arni pats the wrinkly Ares from the side and comforts him saying that he was cool.
“It’s the opposite. We must save Rin unconditionally. Rin’s death is a precursor to disaster.”
Some were shocked, others were relieved.
Rather than killing a classmate just because it would be a disaster, having to save it would be much more stable mentally.
‘Although it could start in other ways.’
Rin and I met eyes without anyone noticing. Anything more than that would only make me anxious.
“By the way, what level of disaster is it? Can’t even Daniel stop it?”
May raised her hand and asked a question.
The couples nodded and looked at me, and Rin also expressed her doubts.
I was silent here for a while, but I didn’t worry too much.
“You just have to think that people are very sick and very hurt. It’s hard for me to stop.”
“I think it’s too childish to explain.”
Having said that, he didn’t ask any further. Like Mei, who is quick-witted, she noticed that I didn’t want to talk about this part, and naturally handed it over.
“First of all, Ares, practice well on how to use the power of the imprint. Because there will come a time when you will need it.”
“okay.”
“Same goes for Rin, he’s doing great now, but he needs to be able to hold the reins more firmly. I will help if you need it.”
“Yeah, thank you.”
“The other two help out whenever they can. Arni is Ares’ girlfriend, so she’ll always stick around, and Mei is in the same class as Rin.”
“We should be together more than ever!”
“Wow, with him?”
Mei looked like she genuinely disliked it, but Rin also made a disapproving face. Rin could have made a face like that.
fresh.
“I’ll look for more people who have the imprint, just like you.”
There are a total of four beings with imprints that I have met so far.
Rin was chosen by the Goddess of Death.
Ares Helias, chosen by the sun god Helios.
Eris Anen Seriere, chosen by Artemis, the god of the moon, the hunt, and chastity.
Michaela Romers was chosen by Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love.
‘I heard that Michaela was executed.’
In addition to Bati’an’s massive brainwashing, the bishops strongly criticized her for insulting the cathedral, and she was eventually beheaded.
‘The shaman of time had no imprint.’
Of course, I thought she would have been imprinted by the existence of the goddess of time, but there was no imprint on her in the memories that flowed over.
“By the way, do you have anything?”
Arni’s voice, which was immersed in the deep sea of the accident, pulled up. Her eyes were clearly directed at me.
In the same way, the eyes of other students naturally fall into me and say one word at a time.
“right. I think Daniel has something to do with it.”
“God of Destruction! Or the sword god! Isn’t it just like this?”
Rin and Mei speak with fuss, but shake their heads.
“I don’t have any engravings on me.”
“It’s something you don’t know. You can’t check parts like the back.”
Ares’s tip stabbing sharper than expected. Suddenly Mei wakes up with her eyes shining.
“Take it off, let’s check it out.”
“Shut up your saliva and talk.”
“Chew.”
At my words, Mei wiped her saliva with her sleeve, but she did not stop moving.
Lyn also seemed to be wriggling to get up, so I passed the two of them and headed to the bathroom.
“Follow Ares! You can see it!”
“Oh, I hate it.”
is this kid?
Even as he said that, Ares followed after him. So we had a short time in the bathroom.
“None.”
Ares responded coolly.
“I checked really carefully just in case.”
He was very meticulous. I even checked between my toes. Anyway, I was able to gain confidence by sacrificing Ares and I for being dirty.
That I don’t have the imprint of God.
“Now, then, the really last and most important thing. Someone has a clue for us to learn more about this imprint.”
I remember getting this from the shaman of time, but besides that, it was a problem that I had been uncomfortable with for a long time.
“When exactly did Ares get the seal?”
“It was when we were preparing to rehearse for a play at the festival. I got it while swinging my sword on the rooftop at night.”
“Is not it? But before that, there is someone who has been strangely attached to you.”
It doesn’t matter if it’s engraved.
However, there was a person who clung excessively to Ares, who had no imprint, and was obsessed with it.
As if he knew that an imprint would appear on him.
“who?”
Mei asked with a puzzled expression, and I answered while thinking of a man.
“Heven Len.”
Ha-yun’s uncle, and an ardent devotee of the shaman of time.
Not only that, but he also tried to bring Ares into his family using Hayun.
Even before the imprint appeared on Ares.
“Isn’t it strange? All Ares had was that handsome face. Still, the Ren family forced Hayoon to woo Ares.”
Ares, a commoner, begged by an aristocratic family?
Now that the priestess of time is dead, the only person who can solve this clue is Heven Ren.
Especially since Ha-yoon said that his trend these days is unusual, I was more confident.
“If you slaughter that pig, something will come out for sure.”
