124 – Hear the engines! (1)
The words I heard from the finger-twitching Akade were shocking.
“Even when I came last year, I couldn’t tell where in the hell the smell of demons came from in the imperial family. It has grown considerably now, and I can get a rough idea of its location.”
“Are you saying that the third prince is a devil?”
“Approximately, approximately.
No, what if you, a demon expert, don’t know?
“That’s why I need that poisoned apple. It’s a bit dangerous to take risks with this body right now!”
After saying that, Akade shouted, proudly showing off her immature girl’s body.
“Look! How can you fight demons with such a delicate body!”
Then, with both of her hands, she held her small breasts together…
“Don’t look! Don’t even show me!”
Aisha quickly covered my eyes at Akade’s trivial action.
Hey… I’m not the kind of person who gets excited about a body like that… What do you see people as?
“So what is the reason you came to see Tyr!”
“Simple! Luatir, I want you to eat the poisoned apple and go into the dream and deal with the demon!”
A ‘poison apple’ used by wizards as a slang.
Its true identity is a fruit called ‘Dream Fruit’.
Even a single bite of this fruit with purple flesh plunges the user into a dreamy world. The problem is that whoever eats this fruit even once becomes a target of demons after that.
These demons are frantic to drag people into the dream, but there is no way they will miss those who have entered the dream on their own feet.
It is said that every time you sleep, demons come over and torment you and eventually corrupt you.
You’re going to feed me something dangerous like that? Where is your conscience?
“Don’t worry~ I’ll release you from the poisonous apple’s influence once the work is over. I can do just about anything!”
“If it’s a devil, isn’t the great witch of dark clouds more certain? Why are you asking me like that?”
“Ughhh… It’s a secret, so I can’t tell anyone… “
Akade, who cutely put her hands behind her back and scratched the ground with her toes, smiled brightly and said cheerfully.
“I’ll tell you two! Because I really need your help!”
“Don’t be trivial, say it quickly!”
As Aisha approached, Academy sneaked closer to us. Covering your mouth with both hands, lean over and whisper.
“I am, actually… “
We waited slightly nervously for her words.
What the hell are you trying to say?
“On the night of two full moons, I cannot use my power.”
I just had to wait.
According to her words, it was like this.
A dream is a dream. Dreams can only appear when people enter the borders of the unconscious.
That’s why during the Lunar Festival, when the light of the moon that illuminates the night is the strongest, she is the great witch of dark clouds, not to mention demons, so she can’t use her own magic properly.
Even so, since the powers of both Akade and the devil are weakening at the same time, as usual, Akade alone wouldn’t have been too much trouble…
“Strangely these days, demons are making a fuss, right? Ah, it’s about my body. For what harem! He said he was in a state of madness, so he seemed to be having a hard time.”
Oh, Duya… I also had my share in paying for this sadal. Probably because of the declaration of war against me.
She’s like a goddamn ignorant goddess. She acts as if she has no interest in the world, but her own people certainly do.
“This is the reason I come to the academy every month. I’m in danger, not anyone else! However, if you are inside the academy, the imperial castle’s surveillance will reach you, and there are excellent barriers within the academy as well.”
In a nutshell, they don’t come here to supervise the Lunar Festival, but their main purpose is to protect themselves.
I wonder how many demons have suffered from Akade until now. Even if her selves are weakened, they will try to harm her with all her means.
‘Wait a minute… ‘
At that moment, a thought ran through her head.
Is it a coincidence that once a year, when the great witch of dark clouds is weakening, the third prince feels the presence of the devil?
And just a month ago, didn’t you put an end to Eriark’s long-awaited plan? It also had something to do with the devil.
Above all, the devil is not the only enemy that targets the Dark Cloud Archwitch.
There is a ‘Swamp of the Five Elements’.
[ What? Master! What is the master’s dignity? Did this trigger? ]
I see. La Crucio’s words convinced me even more.
‘Eriark… Is it you again?’
From nob le mt l. co m
My nemesis is plotting something again this month.
It was a premonition like an instinct.
I have a hunch that by now he will be plotting to kill Aisha and dedicate me to Erek, with an eerie laugh.
Thinking of Eriak made my bones ache again, but Akade, who was unaware of this, said cheerfully with a naive smile.
“So, eat a poisoned apple and quickly deal with the devil!”
“Why did Tyr… !”
The moment Aisha is about to pour out her passion toward Academy.
“No! Never!”
A familiar voice hit my ear.
In unison, we cast our eyes to where the voice came from.
There is Nemenia, who runs excitedly with her pale pink hair…
“hehehe… Oh hello… ?”
Professor Luctae smiled awkwardly… No, why do you keep popping out? Where else are you not going to eat?
When I silently questioned Ruktae, he glanced away. Hey… Aren’t you doing something weird again?

Meanwhile, Nemenia strode in front of the Dark Cloud Archwitch, spread her arms out to the left and right, and stood in front of me as if to protect me.
“Great Witch of Dark Clouds! That method is absolutely unacceptable as a candidate for a saint of the Holy Land!”
“Aigoo~ I was planning to come unnoticed, but you are a saint!”
Since I came by stepping on the demons’ means of transportation, I can’t avoid Nemenia’s sensitive senses. Perhaps by now, the temple was in a frenzy that the devil could appear again.
“In the first place, the fruit of dreams is designated as a prohibited item in the Holy Land! Raen’s grace does not reach those who voluntarily venture into the dark side!”
Even in front of her dark clouded witch, Nemenia did not break her momentum in the slightest and pushed her.
I never thought that Nemenia would express her opinion so stubbornly. As expected, she is a devout believer whose eyes roll over when it comes to religion.
“And why does the West have to eat that dangerous fruit! The Archwitch or others can do it!”
“I agree with this puppy this time too!”
Thank you so much for worrying about me… As a saint, I don’t know if that’s the right idea.
At the strong protests of Nemenia and Aisha, Akade sullenly folded her arms and turned her head away.
“Hey! I’m not saying this without thinking, without getting anything in return!”
“It has nothing to do with it! I am telling you that the method itself is wrong!”
“Right! That’s right!”
Ayesha actively sympathizes with Nemenia’s opinion, which is very rare. Even so, if Nemania leans against me, she’ll switch her stance right away.
What a superficial sense of cooperation.
Academy, who couldn’t stand it, protested cutely waving both hands.
“Profit! Let’s say you have an idea! Why do you keep calling me the bad guy!”
“Then tell me what you think!”
“It’s not me, it’s him!”
Academy suddenly pointed at me and shouted.
Why do you keep talking about it here and there? Why am i again
“You can’t fool my eyes! I know you have a demon child!”
Ah, you mean the plate. He became my summons not too long ago. Also, there’s Yumeha, although I haven’t summoned her recently.
“If you eat a poison apple and go into the dream with him, you can defeat the demons enough. I’m afraid that the guy who works for Knox’s family will fall into some kind of dream, which I couldn’t do!”
That’s right too. To me, who has seen Yumeha use her powers, dreaming is not an unknown territory.
In addition, there is also a Yucanis storage box that Luktae made for me, so I can fight the devil myself with dreamy mana.
There are two demon summoners who protect me and me who can fight against demons. I don’t know how I knew it, but it was enough reason for Academy to choose me.
No, it’s not like that, I’d rather leave it to them to solve everything.
“And I’m not asking you to do it bare-mouthed. If you do me a favor, I’ll teach you a unique magic!”
The voice of La Crucio is heard as soon as those words are spoken.
[ Yay~ Naki will inform you! A new quest occurs! ‘Dark Cloud’s Request’ begins! ]
[ Hidden Quest: Dark Cloud’s Request ]
[The night of the Lunar New Year, when the Great Witch of Dark Cloud loses her powers. Knowing that the demon created by the swamp of five elements is aiming for her life, she earnestly asks the Master. ]
[ Condition: Deal with the demon dwelling in the 3rd prince and spend the night of the Moon Festival safely. ]
[ Reward: Inherent Magic ‘Dream Attunement’. ]
She nodded, saying it was a pretty decent suggestion, but Nemenia declared that she couldn’t accept even that, placing her hand in her own voluptuous pouch of holy power.
“But no! I’d rather the West eat the fruit of the dream!”
Rather?
“I will eat it!!”
Ugh… That’s not it. Don’t do that.
