26-3. Christmas carols rang out.
***
The Demon King of Battery, Head Ayck, was watching the situation from afar.
‘..Something is strange. No matter how much it is said that a variable called a hero has been added.’
It takes too long.

Dennis can’t come out of the central hall because he hasn’t mastered the three-dimensional magic circle, and Laplace and the sage’s information power must have been blocked by the authority of ignorance.
“This is already the 7th iteration. I already checked last time.”
He muttered briefly as he checked the number of bullets in the revolver’s magazine. Only one bullet is empty.
The head has become complicated. Where did the error come from? Assuming that, I took out the book from my chest and went through the information I had previously written down.
“..It’s 11:15. It’s already been 15 minutes.”
If it had been according to his calculations, it would have been enough time for the Apostle of Gluttony to subdue all the students in the academy.
“The transmission magic is also broken.”
He shifted his gaze towards the playground. This cannot be the case with Metus, who eats the traumas of others and uses them as their own.
There was a downside that if you inhaled the black mist through your respiratory system, you wouldn’t be affected, but the students at the academy wouldn’t know about it.
“This is so strange. I’ll have to go there myself….”
I got the feeling that something was seriously wrong. There is a person who neutralizes his omniscience or ignorance, but it may be that he trusted too much his weakness called trauma.
─Bang.
The Demon King, who was struggling, shot the revolver in the direction he was looking, and his body moved in an instant.
He felt the texture of stepping on the sand on his feet. Upon arriving at the grounds of Grand Hearts Academia, Head looked around.
“..What the hell is this all about?”
A playground where no one has collapsed except for one person. All of the students at the academy looked fine, with no hairs injured.
“Keek..! Demon King! Please save me!!”
The Apostle of Gluttony was already subdued by being wrapped in something like a chain made of water, and the warriors and wizards Kainel and Ariel were not trapped in trauma.
“Besides, the princess is on the side of that hero? Why..?!”
Holding the hand of a fallen man wearing a black knight helmet, I felt a sense of incongruity as I looked at the glass knight kneeling beside him as if to pray in a noble manner.
It was because it felt so strange to Head that a person named Fine Grancia, who is famous for his cold emotions and attitude, would act like that.
Surely, that knight should have been trapped in a trauma and had to go through the past of being beaten by Magic Hat. It was all the opposite of what he expected.
“Are you curious about the reason? Head.”
It was then. As if a projector was spinning in front of Head, who did not know what to do while judging the surrounding situation.
“That’s because the devil’s strategy always fails.”
Clap, clap. The scenery around me was changing with a sound. Soon after, the demon king was teleported to a place like a corridor where golden figures were sitting.
“It’s been a while. Do you remember me?”
“..Dennis!!”
The pinnacle of water magic. A drunkard wizard who twists his attributes to use magic using alcohol. Dennis walked out and blocked his way.
“Did you even learn the three-dimensional magic circle?! No, wrong. It can’t be like this! Obviously it takes a long time….”
“You don’t know the bachelor’s and master’s course. Head.”
I couldn’t hide my surprise when I saw the three-dimensional magic circle in the blue-haired man’s hand. It would take at least a month to master such an ultimate skill.
Who the hell twisted fate and made it this far?
“..Dennis, you won’t be able to protect Chartines or Nex if you stay here?”
While forcibly rolling his non-working brain, he persuaded Dennis. In this place he is at a disadvantage.
“Wahhahahaha!!”
“Drink!! Let’s get drunk!!”
A banquet hall where people glistening with golden light are sitting side by side drinking alcohol.
The existence of these people meant the barrier created by Dennis as a three-dimensional magic circle.
“Bless this sake! Grace!”
“Let’s play hard today!!”
When Dennis learns his ultimate skill, the three-dimensional magic circle, he can teleport the opponent at any time to a place he has prepared in advance.
“Are you not a professor like me, where the lives of students are precious? Dennis!!”
It was impossible to escape without using the Holy Sword. However, if he responds with a revolver here, the prophecy may not be fulfilled.
In the first place, this was an unexpected situation. He needed to lead him as far as he could into the future he knew.
“Are you talking about the sophomores?”
“Yes! If you weren’t brazen, you would know!”
For this reason, he had to press the opponent while revealing the cards he had as much as possible. Seeing this, Dennis stopped his hand for a moment.
“The warrior cultists brought this time are strong!! There’s no way the students alone can repel them….”
The omnipotent demon king who shouts loudly and pretends to be relaxed. The cradle of the phoenix used by Nex is, as far as he knows, when he destroys the academy.
“The sophomores are already safe. I came to see Nex use the Cradle of the Phoenix.”
“..What? Shouldn’t it be now…?”
“Absolutely invincible shield. You must have seen Asha wearing it during the war.”
Because it was the last bastion to prevent students from getting hurt.
“hahahaha. You’re good at lying too. Hurry up, cancel your ultimate and go rescue the students!”
“This looks like a lie. Head.”
“…”
“The rest of the students are all safe. I was just about to check everything out.”
Looking at the resolute wizard, he made a puzzled expression. The head is a three-dimensional magic circle that Dennis couldn’t have mastered.
“Nonsense. Are you saying I’m all wrong?”
The Apostle of Gluttony that was helplessly subdued, the changed behavior of Fine Grancia, and the cradle of the phoenix of Nex that had been accelerated. Put all of this together.
“Who the hell…? Who could fool a battery like this?”
I can’t use it right now. Why can my calculations vary so much?
“..I was not deceived. The future has changed..?”
If Magic Hat was covered up using lies, then the information must be completely wrong. Clearly, the prophecy seemed to be coming true.
“Licht!! Is it because of that hero named Richt!!”
It was absolutely not the demon king of truth who did anything. Then, the thought of a hero named Richt flashed through his mind like a flash.
“There must be something that even the Demon King of Battery doesn’t know.”
Looking at the blue-haired man with white eyes shining, not even moving,
“No! This was not the future I saw!!”
Head howled as he tore at his hair.
‘It was also thanks to our Licht-kun. Then he could be an all-knowing hero as well.’

Dennis guessed that it was thanks to a student named Richt who was summoned as a hero. He didn’t bother to mention it.
‘But I can’t tell you.’
If you say something like this, the information could be caught and used against Head.
“Brothers!!”
He didn’t miss an opening and quickly started chanting.
“Today we will reclaim the stolen spring!”
In the hand of the blue-haired wizard, a drinking cup made of water came into being.
“For the Empire of Grancia!!”
“For!!”
“Together, let’s erase the ‘concept’ of the demon king named Head Ayke! “Toast!!””
“Cheers!!”
As he raised his glass high, he shouted, and the golden glowing people clinked beer glasses to share with him.
The smell of beer spreads, and chew-. There was a bubble sound. Golden beer was automatically filled like magic to everyone who had a glass.
“Ahahahaha!!”
“Drink! Get drunk!”
“Wahhahahaha!”
“Cheers! Toast!!”
People who enjoy drinking it and talking while eating meat. Except for the demon king, they were lively and lively.
“This barrier using the ultimate skill and beer gold…. You must still be weak..! If you cancel…!”
Looking at that, Head took out a red revolver from his pocket and aimed it at Dennis.
“What are you doing now? The Demon King of Battery.”
Keep it up. His vision whirled around like a drunk, throwing him off balance. Seeing the demon king unable to aim his gun at the enemy, Dennis intuited victory.
“I can’t do this.. I can’t..!!”
The head is to resist the sudden drunkenness and the sound of laughter that will burst your eardrums.
“My perfect prophecy…! There’s no way it’s wrong!!”
He raised his arm toward the ceiling of the corridor and pulled the trigger.
***
A hospital where it is snowing heavily.
“Look! Does Santa Claus really exist?”
“Yes. You are right. Youngmin.”
“hehehe, Suhyeon hyung cried today so he couldn’t get a present~!”
The kid in the red beanie doesn’t know what’s going to happen in the future,
“Ho-ho-ho. Merry Christmas!”
“Thank you! Santa Claus!”
He was smiling brightly as he received a gift wrapped in colorful wrapping paper. I looked at the boy and devised a plan.
“Wow, it’s a combined robot! I really wanted to have it..!!”
A robot that combines a car and a dinosaur. If you received a toy that contains all of a man’s romance, you should be happy enough.
‘..Fate cannot be changed. There was a saying.’
An apostle of gluttony. This is Metus’s attack. This is my trauma. In the end, the future where Youngmin dies does not change.
‘What should I do? How the hell….’
I wanted to close my eyes tightly. Now there are less than 3 hours left. Soon, the moment people go to bed, there will be a fire.
Inescapable destiny. Are you saying that there is no hope of overcoming this somewhere?
I tried to talk about the fire while holding a fire extinguisher nearby, and I tried to run to the front of the stage and shout, but all failed.
“Hoho, Merry Christmas to Lee Suhyun.”
After I was lost in thought, it was my turn before I knew it.
“Did Suhyeon get a present too? Santa must have taken a look!”
“..Snow globe?”
The gift I received from an adult wearing a red outfit and using the pseudonym Santa Claus was a snow globe.
In the glass beads, snowflakes falling slowly caught my eye. An object that puts various decorations or miniatures inside a sphere to make it look like it’s snowing.
‘Wait, like it’s snowing?’
Snow gloves don’t actually snow. It is a toy that makes it “Look” Like snow falling when shaken.
If you can’t change the past, just recreate it.
“..Youngmin.”
“Why, Suhyeon hyung?”
“Behind the Christmas tree over there, Santa’s Rudolph appears every night.”
I pointed my finger at a large tree in the distance. Also, as I expected, this works. Originally, it would have been an action that hadn’t happened in the past.
“Don’t you miss Rudolph?”
“Of course I want to see it! But, they don’t let us come out of the ward at night…”
“..I will sneak out and get Rudolph.”
I don’t know why the boy in front of me was found at the place where we are now during the fire. Then….
“Youngmin, stay still in the hospital room today.”
I just need to sacrifice my life for this boy. The burning past does not change,
“Really! It’s a promise!”
“Yes, it is a promise between the two of us.”
The fact that ‘a boy’ will lose his ‘life’ does not change tonight.
“So, don’t tell anyone.”
It’s a long overdue atonement, and the attack of the Apostle of Gluttony may affect reality.
Because the black knight is a person who sacrifices himself for others.
