163 – [Side Story] Student from the East Continent – 22
After the weekend, weekdays came again.
The real Alyssa, who had fallen asleep all night, regained some energy by eating the food prepared by Lilu.
Of course, there was no way she could eat proper food in a brothel, and even the meager meals she ate were often taken away by other people staying in the same room.
Because it was Alyssa, she was in tears, not only because her body was in good condition, but also because she was eating a high-quality meal for the first time in a long time.
“There’s still a lot, so eat it slowly so you don’t get sick.”
“Ugh…Yes…”
Alyssa, who was eating with tears in her eyes, was finally able to see her surroundings.
The original owner of the room was nowhere to be found.
“Um…Hey…Sir…?”
“Sir has headed to the academy.”
“I see… I see.”
Alyssa’s expression darkened.
For Alyssa, Bondi Academy was a dreamlike place she had aimed to live up to her father’s expectations.
But now, it was also the place where she went through the terrible experience of having her life fall apart in an instant.
Lilu, who read the anxiety reflected in Alyssa’s eyes, opened her mouth.
“It’s okay.”
“Yes…?”
“Sir is strong. He is not someone who can be taken lightly.”
When I entered Sirga Academy, more than half of the students had already gone to school.
Among them, there was also a fake Alyssa with Alyssa’s body.
And the crown prince and his followers seemed to surround her.
“Miss Sir! Hello!”
“Yes, hello.”
The students who discovered Sir smiled brightly and greeted him, and Sir also smiled and returned the greeting.
At the same time, Sir slightly glanced at the crown prince and his group.
Everyone reacts differently when they see Sir come in.
Alyssa wrinkled her expression out of sight, and Prince Joshua turned his head as if ignoring her.
Nord flinched without realizing it, and Prince Portis, a merchant who always smiled, also frowned as if he was uncomfortable.
And the one remaining, Chris Maletti.
He looked at Syr, her mouth slightly open, and her expression contorted as if she were angry about something.
Prince Joshua, who had turned his head to see her expression, opened her mouth.
“Chris? What’s going on?”
“Oh…No. It’s nothing.”
Chris Maletti immediately corrects his expression and clears his throat.
After that, the professor came in, and even as class began, he appeared to be biting his nails as if he was anxious.
Seeing him like that, Sir was convinced.
According to the information Leelu brought in yesterday, it appears that Chris Maletti was the one who hired the attacker.
Of course, I had no intention of questioning that fact now.
Anyway, there’s nothing to call it evidence now, and it’s clear they’ve been caught.
Lilu said she would take care of finding evidence for Chris’ instigation of the attack.
For now, it was enough to just be on guard against Chris.
Rather, it’s the fake Ali Sada sitting there, resting his chin in boredom.
A person who has stolen the real Alyssa’s body and is pretending to be Alyssa and engaging in various misdeeds.
And, although there is no evidence yet, he is the one who wounded his body containing the real Alyssa and sold it to his brothel.
It was an urgent matter to find a medium for her sobriety that she probably had.
As long as the medium is still intact, the curse will continue to try to change the bodies of the two people, no matter how much Sir returns them to their original state with his power.
If that happens, the minds of both people will not be able to overcome the burden and will be broken.
I couldn’t leave it like that.
‘Medium…What on earth is it…?’
Sir was in trouble.
The medium itself only serves to maintain the curse, and has no energy or magical power.
Since we cannot feel anything in the medium, it is impossible to specify.
Either just destroy everything you can, or make her blow it out of her mouth.
Well, the former may be possible if Rilu brings evidence, then she consults with the emperor…
Sir sighed softly.
Lunch time at Belnoa Academy.
Alyssa, who was going to have lunch, and Chris left the academy after leaving the princes.
In fact, it was not a good idea to leave the academy during lunch hour, but I had already done it several times with the crown princes anyway.
Recently, I’ve been refraining from doing it because I’ve heard things from my parents, but it’s not to the point where I have to worry about it anymore.
The security guard who saw Chris leaving the academy only sighed and did not try to stop him.
After leaving the academy and walking through the city, Chris entered a back alley.
From here on, the security wasn’t so good, but Chris didn’t really care.
He just puts on a hood and slightly covers his face.
Chris was somehow able to defeat the common gangsters in the back alleys by himself.
And, unless he was a bastard with a very swollen liver, he was confident that if he revealed his identity, almost no one would want to touch him as the prime minister’s son.
Knock knock
Chris arrived in front of a building in a back alley and knocked on the door.
Repeat with a certain rhythm, knock knock knock
“…Come in.”
It was a very rude tone, but Chris opened the door and entered, wondering what kind of gangsters in the back alleys were.
The building we entered is a tavern with old floors and ceilings.
At the counter of a bar with no customers, an old man was sitting.
“Okay, what’s your business?”
“…The previous request was not completed.”
Hearing Chris’ words, the old man took out his ledger as if he was annoyed.
“What is the number?”
“Number?”
“Why is that the number you gave me when you entrusted the request?”
After hearing the old man’s words, Chris seemed to remember something, searched his pocket and took out a piece of paper.
The number 71 was written on the piece of paper.
“It’s 71.”
“71…71…Hmmm?”
The old man who was looking through the ledger opened his eyes wide and stood up.
Leaving Chris with a puzzled expression, the old man went inside the counter.
The old man walked back to Chris, who was waiting with a frown on his face.
Unlike his annoyed expression, this time he had a strangely serious expression.
“Please come inside.”
“What?”
“He said he needed to talk to me in person.”
As the old man spoke as he opened the counter, Chris clicked his tongue and went inside.
Chris thought that it would be a good idea to tell her father and get rid of this place because he was making her go back and forth so bothersomely.
There was a passage inside the counter, and there was a door in that passage.
Unlike the inside of the tavern, which was all worn out, the door was made very strong.
“…Go in.”
“……”
Chris was a little anxious, but she swallowed her saliva and opened the door and entered.
He himself is the son of the prime minister of this empire.
If you think it might become dangerous, you can threaten it with your identity.
Until now, whenever I brought up my father’s story, no one dared to rebel.
“Please come in.”
With a slightly more polite tone than the old man, Chris approached and sat down on the chair.
The man sitting across from me had a grim face and sharp eyes.
“I’m Marco Allon, in charge of requests.”
“…”
Marco had a normal expression and polite tone, but he was giving off an unusual aura, as if he was angry.
Chris’s momentum made me flinch without even realizing it, but he too has lived a long life as an aristocrat.
The most important thing for a nobleman is bravado, and Chris was no different.
“Okay, so about request number 71…”
Marco opened the ledger on the desk and opened his mouth.
“I will cancel this request. I will also refund the deposit.”
“What…What?”
“I don’t intend to accept this request again. Now, here’s the down payment.”
Saying that, Marco placed a bag containing money on the desk.
Chris shouted, blood rising in his neck.
“Cancel…Cancel! Why on earth?”
“Why? Are you asking why now? Chris Maletti!!”
Hearing Chris’ words, Marco slammed the desk.
Chris unconsciously flinched from the force and stepped behind him.
“Request target, didn’t you give us wrong information?”
“What…What do you mean?”
“You said she was just a student studying abroad in a small country, but I found out she was being treated as a state guest.”
Chris crumpled her expression as if she had been stabbed.
It is true.
Actually, Chris also heard about it from her own father.
Don’t provoke her again.
“That… That much with his father’s power…”
“Ha! Do you think even the prime minister can cover up a problem that could spread into an international problem?!”
“That…That…If it were my father, he would somehow…”
“It looks like they’re trying to deceive and look down on those who work in the back alleys like us, thinking they’re stupid, but there’s no way around it.”
Chris couldn’t say anything.
In reality, Chris deceived them, and if they committed the crime without knowing anything, he planned to blame them for it.
It was a blatant lie from the beginning that he would cover it up with his father’s power.
Realizing that it was no use trying to fool them again, Chris grabbed her purse and stood up.
It doesn’t matter.
Anyway, the Allon family is not the only bigwigs that dominate the empire’s back world.
You can entrust the request to another organization.
She thought so and Chris got up roughly and tried to leave the room.
At that time, Marco’s voice was heard from behind her.
“Oh, I’ll tell you in case you’re thinking about something useless. It’s no use trying to go somewhere else and ask for help.”
At those words, Chris’ feet stopped.
“We are competitors, but we are also partners in the same industry. We share sensitive information that could destroy the industry.”
Chris stood there blankly for a moment, then closed the door roughly and left.
After Chris left, someone spoke in the corner of the room where he thought no one was.
“Ha, you really are a young master with a lot of courage.”
“Sister.”
This is none other than Yumis Allon, the boss of the Allon family.
She was quietly lurking in a secret room hidden in the corner of her room, with no trace of her presence.

“Sister, what happened?”
“Oh, it’s perfect. Look at this.”
What Yumis took out while saying that was an object that looked like a conch shell.
The object, which had several magic stones embedded in it, was glowing softly with a faint magical power.
Miss Yu stretched out her hand and poured her magic into the object.
『Why? You asked why now? Chris Maletti!! Request target, didn’t you give us wrong information?』
『What…What do you mean?』
Chris Maletti’s voice was clearly flowing from that magic tool.
