124 – Trap (3)
For a moment, there was an awkward atmosphere in the room.
“······.”
“······.”
I want to say something first, but I can’t open my mouth.
Isn’t that what they are looking at with cold eyes that they have never shown before?
‘No. Uh, um. ‘This is somehow unfair.’
To be honest, I am also in a caught-up position.
Of course, I was worried about Senna just like them, so I attacked her altar.
But, it turns out that she deliberately led me to be alone with me.
And there she attacked me.
So, I am definitely a victim as well.
Let me explain in a sincere voice.
“Are you done with the excuses? Professor?”
“Is that your last will?”
Yanderes look at me with cold smiles.
So I had to listen to their nagging for almost an hour.
***
It took a moment for the girls’ nagging to end and Elric to lose his mind.
“Whoa. “Anyway, I never thought I would get hit like this.”
The princess strokes her hair and glares at Sena.
Sena smiled shyly at her reaction.
“hehehe. “I haven’t been alone with the professor recently.”
“Whoa. Anyway, that’s true. “I never thought I would do something like this in today’s situation.”
“That’s right. “I had no idea that the most relaxed person among us could have planned something like this behind our backs.”
The rest of the female party nodded as if they agreed with what the princess and Jane said.
“Anyway, so please explain to me what really happened. From what the professor says, it seems like he is a victim, but it would be best to hear it from the person involved.”
“Oh, actually, the professor didn’t say anything seriously wrong. Well, the only part that wasn’t explained is that the Pope was an apostate?”
“”Yes?””
The next moment, the female group, including the princess, opened their eyes.
Pope.
He is a being with equal authority at the altar as a saint.
In terms of authority in the empire, it is no exaggeration to say that he is on par with the emperor.
It turns out that such a being was a traitor.
In some ways, isn’t this the most important story?
“No. “Why are you talking about it now?”
“That’s right. “You didn’t ask.”
“”······.””
Her fists were shaking at the sound of Sena’s spiteful voice, but she somehow succeeded in persevering.
The princess asked with a shallow sigh.
“So what happened to the Pope?”
“Uh… I know that too. “The professor probably knows that more than I do.”
At those words, the gaze of the female party naturally turned to Elric.
He spoke in a grave voice.
“I killed it.”
“You killed him?”
When the princess opened her eyes and asked again, he nodded her head without a moment of hesitation.
“Ha. The aftereffects are no joke. “There is an uproar just because the Pope is an apostate, but what will happen if it becomes known that he is dead?”
“You don’t have to worry about that part. Princess.”
“?”
In an instant, the entire female group tilted their heads.
The death of the Pope is enough to cause an uproar.
But, it is said that he is none other than a renegade.
How can I not worry?
I can guarantee that those in power who supported the altar will cause an uproar.
From their perspective, it’s no different from being stabbed in the head.
At that time, the princess suffered from her troubles inside.
“Can’t we just make a new Pope anyway?”
Unexpected words came out of his mouth.
The female party, including the princess, looked at him with expressions asking what he was talking about.
Elric continues to explain.
“Most people at the altar will not know that the Pope is an apostate and that he is dead.”
“······.”
“So, after the war is over, wouldn’t it be nice if I played the role of Pope and retired? In any case, even if there is no Pope, the altar system will not collapse as long as there is a saint.”
“·····No.”
The female companions were at a loss for words at Elric’s words.
That’s because it’s no different from just saying let’s cheat.
“Professor. “Isn’t that just a scam?”
“Hmm.”
He clears his throat, probably feeling embarrassed even thinking about it.
Soon, excuses are quickly made up.
“Princess. When doing politics, there comes a moment when you have to choose to lie. And I think that’s it now. “If you tell the truth, you never know what the devil will do when chaos comes to the empire.”
“······.”
“If she moves while the empire is in chaos, it is certain that she will suffer great damage unlike before. “I believe that the wise princess will definitely make a wise choice.”
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve tried flattering once or twice, but I’m just saying this.
The princess let out a shallow sigh.
“Ha. I didn’t know the professor could speak so well. “You’ve never flattered me like that before.”
As she narrowed her eyes and looked at Elric, he scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
“Ahahahaha.”
“Anyway, I understand. “I definitely think I’d rather tell a sweet lie now than tell the truth.”
It’s an act of deceiving the people, but in a way, it’s all for their benefit.
Isn’t it clear that the moment the truth is told, there will be great chaos in the empire?
“Hmm. “By the way, where are Lin and Ran?”
At that time, Jane looked around her head and asked a question.
The moment they heard those words, Senna and Elric let out an exclamation without realizing it.
“”Ah…””
“Looks like you forgot?”
In response to Jane’s question, the two looked at the distant mountains.
According to her words, it was so intense that she left the other two alone for a day.
“I’ll call you right away.”
Elric took out the communication crystal ball and immediately contacted Lin.
Next moment.
“Master! “How worried were you when you didn’t hear from me?”
Lin transferred into the room and tilted her head at the current situation.
Soon, he looks at Elric with eyes as if asking, “How did this happen?”
“Uh, um. Well, it just worked out well. Just think about it. “Ran is also alive and well.”
“Is that so? But where is Ran?”
Rin turns her head to look for Ran.
Then, Senna explains Ran’s location.
“You must be having fun in the basement restaurant right now. “Please go there.”
After hearing Sena’s words, Odo runs to Rin.
Only the female group and Elric remained in the room.
At that time, Elric was slowly getting up from his seat.
“Okay. Then, let’s start moving now…”
“Wait a minute. Professor.”
Roswin grabs Elric’s arm.
At the same time.
“Master. “Where are you going?”
“Why don’t you run away?”
Jane and Eve hold each other’s arms.
Not only that, Elsh, who had been watching quietly, tilts her head.
“Where are you going honey?”
“Uh, um. “Aren’t you done with your business now?”
Elric answered with an awkward smile.
“That’s it, isn’t there still work to be done with us? Right, Margaret?”
“Yes. You’re right. Princess.”
Margaret and the princess approach.
With the scariest smile in the world.
‘f*ck.’
On this day, Elric was raped by them all day long.
***
Same time.
The Demon King, who was conserving his strength for a moment by sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.
‘It is clear that the Pope is dead.’
When I didn’t hear from her yesterday, I didn’t think he was dead.
He must be like that too, because he can still feel the magic energy that was lent to him.
However, a few hours later, his magical energy suddenly disappeared completely.
At first, I thought it was because his body contained divinity, which is the opposite of demonic energy.
However, even though a day has passed, I cannot feel the Pope’s magic.
In other words, it would be better to consider the Pope dead.
‘Whoa. ‘This is unexpected.’
The Pope’s death is no different from the saint’s awakening.
It is almost impossible for Sena, a candidate for sainthood, to win against her altar.
“Ha.”
It won’t work.
What I’ve been feeling lately is that the devil’s army is getting pushed back.
No. It’s not because of my mood.
In fact, aren’t we losing the war with humanity every time?
‘Even if I came forward myself, I couldn’t win.’
Of course, she didn’t do her best.
If she had used all her strength, she would have had a 50% chance of winning.
But.
‘Elric’s power is becoming stronger than I thought.’
That’s right.
Elric is regaining her prime strength more than she thought.
Of course, he seems surprised by his own response and strength, as if it was unexpected, but even so, it is clear that he is getting stronger faster.
If the war continues like this, the outcome of victory or defeat is clear.
‘I can’t do it. Now I have to see the real end.’
I feel like I will be defeated by humanity if not now.
The devil called all the executives through the communication crystal ball.
Then after a while.
“Okay. “Has everyone arrived?”
“”Yes!””
The still surviving executives gathered in front of her, kneeling on one knee.
The Demon King looked down at them quietly.
Soon, she opened her mouth.
“From now on, all the Demon King’s army and executives should be ready to move.”
“”?!””

The next moment, the executives widen their eyes and are shocked.
One of the executives raises his hand and asks.
“What does that mean?”
“Okay. “As of this moment, it is an all-out war.”
With those words, the entire Demon King army began to move hurriedly.
This is the moment when something that did not exist in the original work occurred.
