Episode 167 There are too many crazy bitches (1)
* * *
After finishing the silent flapping of her wings, Izayoi landed on Aina’s shoulder.
“Why did you come back early?”
Thinking that Aina had returned hungry, she held out a few pieces of meat to her beak, but Izayoi turned her head as if she had not returned for that reason.
“Then why?”
It wasn’t until she cried twice with a nervous clamor that she could understand why her owl had returned.
Because that cry meant that the enemy had appeared.
“I see. Well done.”
Aina looked at the direction Izayoi was looking, then slowly returned to the inside of the academy.

“You think a suspicious person broke into the academy?”
“Izayoi says so.”
you’re a suspicious person
There’s one reason I’m guessing, but I’m not sure.
‘If this year is the most peaceful year ever, next year will be a year of chaos on the contrary. It’s because there’s a massive disappearance at the academy.’
It is doubtful that a strange guy appeared at the academy at this time, near the end of the semester, but it was difficult to relate it to the disappearance case with only that news.
“Is there something you can point out?”
“Not yet. Guess I’ll have to watch a bit more. What is that person’s name?”
“Claudia Crescentia.”
“It’s the first name I’ve ever heard.”
“I am attending class A, and it is said that my special ability is an outstanding memory that no one can match. He has an ideology associated with books.”
“What?”
This is Hilda Werpel.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
My senses were so sure.Some of the other people may have ideas related to books, but if it’s an incomparable memory, it must have been her.
If there is one thing I’m worried about, it’s that she, who hardly ever shows up, came out so suddenly.
“Have you figured out who it is? Did you just have that story?”
“My senses say it is certain, but… There is still not enough information.”
“Then I’ll keep an eye on you. But, you don’t need to be so nervous. If you were such a dangerous villain, the president or the dean would have noticed earlier.”
“I beg you, please.”
Even if Claudia was Hilda, there would still be plenty of room for it.
Because Hilda is not in a hurry, and she was a character who cared for her body very much.
Even the quick-witted Aina was just starting to doubt it, but Hilda wouldn’t be any different.
If there was no clear motive to move right now, it was obvious that she, too, would be quiet for now.
If we move hastily, we’ll only live on Claudia’s border.
For now, it was better to just watch quietly.
“Then we should tell this story only the two of us know.”
“right. If too many eyes are focused on it, they might notice it and run away.”
“Okay. So I’ll end this story here, and let me know if I see anything different.”
After that, there was no more talk about Claudia.
There were some things that I didn’t have much to say, but the biggest reason was that Aina had always looked at me with sticky eyes.
There was no reason to give up on it.

Early morning, not even dawning yet.
An unexpected person came to me.
“Can I call you Sungjin Park?”
“… who are you?”
Of course I know who this person is.
Until just yesterday, we talked about this person.
It was only because I couldn’t believe it.
Because it was none other than Claudia who came to me.
“Even if you are the greatest genius of Trinity Academy, it seems like a child is a child. If you put on a tee like that, anyone would know that you’re wary of me.”
Involuntarily, a hand went up to the left waist.
If it hadn’t been for Claudia, no, Hilda’s continued words right away, I’d probably have pulled out a managlaive and swung it right away.
That was so embarrassing for me.
“calm down. Because I have no intention of fighting Park Seong-jin yet.”
“… What did you come to me for? Claudia.”
“Are you still going crazy? Well, Claudia… like. From now on, I will assume Claudia.”
“I don’t think we are in a relationship yet to talk.”
“It’s nothing. I’m just here to share a simple story. Excuse me for a moment? in a quiet place.”
“I hope the story ends as soon as possible.”
As if Hilda didn’t even listen to my story, she casually entered my room and sat down.
“Is this a U-class dormitory? The Class A dormitory was so good that it could not be compared to the shabby place I was staying in, but this is enough to make me want to sit down and live.”
“What are you going to say?”
“I’m here to let you know that I have no will to fight you.”
I was stunned by the sudden declaration of the agreement.
‘You have no will to oppose me’?
Hilda, who is no less than one of the key members of Somnium Liberator?
“Looking at you, you look embarrassed. It deserves it. Suddenly I’m talking like this.”
“Why are you making this offer?”
“Yeah, I’m a scholar before I’m a villain. Scholars are always struggling with money. Reputable scholars usually have people who give them money, but unfortunately, that is only the life of top scholars, and there is no one who can support someone who studies a nameless and worthless study like me.”
Hilda was eating the sweets with a sly expression on her face.
When did you bring that out again?
It’s hidden in the closet.
“You look like you think it’s an inappropriate reason.”
“Isn’t it natural?”
“Hmm, it seems like you don’t want to talk until you tell the truth, right? Sure enough, that shrewd old man might even call him a fox cub.”
That’s what Chloe calls it.
Furthermore, I’m not claiming to be a pure-hearted person, but this was completely unexpected even for me.
this person is.
Of course that’s it, and this is this.
“Let’s hear it somewhere. What did you come to talk about?”
“It’s simple. I felt that holding your hand was faster than the somnium liberator. I.”
“Why?”
“When the first infiltration failed, we just assumed it was a coincidence. I just thought that stupid guys made a mistake. But not after that.”
Hilda paused for a moment, and glanced at me with interest.
Then, he gave an evil smile.
“It was not enough to start collecting the remnants of dreams faster than us, and to get rid of him before Jinjo became stronger, but he also joined hands with Blake to sway public opinion. There… As if he had expected the mediator to come forward, like now, he also got to know the Phoenix ahead of time.”
A cold sweat trickled down.
How the hell did you know all these facts?
As the Somnium Liberator’s brain is hostile to me, I would have been able to figure out the incident related to my own organization, but I would never have been able to find out the rest of the news.
“It’s surprising. Even though Seongjin knows a lot, I have very little experience of being left behind in knowledge anywhere. More than anything… I’m working harder than Sungjin.”
“After all, is this information obtained through psychometry?”
“It’s half right, half wrong. That, of course, plays a big role, but it is this book that plays a bigger role than that.”
Hilda took a thick book from her bosom and opened it in front of me.
The book was blank, with nothing written on it.
However, when she put the cookie in her hand on it, as if it had been in the book from the beginning, it was naturally sucked into the blank paper and became a picture.
“This is my ability. The ability to store any object in a book, and this book is linked to my memory and my thoughts. In other words, most of the information about the objects in this book is stored in my head. Of course, the ability to interpret that information is useless unless supported by the knowledge to interpret it.”
“That makes it even more suspicious. If it was an ability that was not limited to objects, but applied to all objects, it would have been enough if they had attacked me from the beginning and pushed me into the book.”
At that, Hilda gave a fishy smile.
As if I hadn’t really thought of such a way.
“Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t have that in mind in the first place. However… That’s against the spirit of a scholar, isn’t it? Learning about and exploring the unknown is the spirit of a scholar. If it’s solved that easily, it wouldn’t be so much fun.”
“So, you mean you want to extort information from me?”
“It’s extortion, I would like you to refrain from using words that blaspheme me. I have come here only to get fair trades and learning.”
“I don’t want to understand much, so I would like you to keep things simple.”
Hilda’s expression changed as if she was a little annoyed.
It was like, ‘I thought you would understand how I feel’.
Of course I couldn’t understand it at all.
I’m not some kind of mad scientist.
“Then let me explain. I’m very interested in those white pebbles that Seongjin is collecting hard. So far, only Somnium Liberators have been interested in that item, so I was attached to it, but now that there are other sponsors, there is no reason to stick to it.”
“It seems that too many steps have been omitted.”
“Whoa, it’s just that I’m tired of being a graduate student now. He’s not even a decent person, he’s under villains, and it’s hard enough. Seongjin doesn’t seem like such a clean person, but at least it’s a much more secure side than the Somnium Liberator side.”
Being a graduate student
How would you describe how much you have accumulated?
Suddenly you understand and you feel a lot of sympathy?
Even if you know the nature of this bitch is a villain.
“I almost got it. So, Claudia-san is interested in this dragon ball, a stone that can make wishes come true, but the academic community has no research funds to devote to such nonsense.
“Exactly.”
“When you work together, you don’t have respect, and you act like a slave?”
“How, you understand my heart so accurately.”
Of course, this was not true.
Rather, being lazy and persecuting the Somnium Liberator was closer to Hilda, but Park Seong-jin had no way of knowing this, so it was only a lie.
Even holding hands wasn’t a lie.
Because she knew how pathetic it was to keep hanging on a rotten rope.
“… What is the basis for me to trust Claudia, no, Hilda-san?”
“If you go to a child or a sheep, you can find out.”
Unknowingly, I frowned.
Why did Aina suddenly appear?
Perhaps, this was all Guraping, and I even wondered if it was to get rid of Aina.
Because her control of mind was the reason that Aina was the key to reigning as the strongest among us, and the Joker who could be hired at any time.
“Why don’t you test me for mind control? If you’re in doubt, it doesn’t matter if you just walk around with your mind control at all when you’re together.”
… Where the hell did this crazy bitch come from?
No matter how you look at it, it’s not a normal person’s thinking.
It wasn’t because I was attached to the villain side for nothing.
“Hilda-san, does it matter anyway?”
“Sure! No, it’s just digging into my head, if you think it’s the price of discovering the secrets of the universe, I can give it to you.”
“What if Aina tries to kill you?”
“I never thought of that, but… It won’t happen. It’s not like I’m so weak… I don’t know if Seongjin-san is also joining, wouldn’t it be difficult for a child or a sheep to subdue me alone?”
For some reason, the more I talk, the more I feel like I’m drying up.
Yeah, I’d rather take her to Aina.
If you think it’s a really dangerous bitch, Aina will kill you.
We don’t know what will happen when, so we should be vigilant so that we can draw out the sword immediately.
“Ha, yes. Let’s go. to Aina.”
