“Kania, did you do well on the exam?”
“What do you mean?”
After finishing the final exam and returning to the dormitory, I asked a question to Kania, who was quietly following me.
“You know, Young Master, don’t I remember the previous episode? So, of course, there’s no way I can’t miss it.”
“…It did.”
Then she answered me with a look in her eyes asking what she was asking, then looked around and started talking in a low voice.
“And I don’t think it’s very wise to ask such a question outside like now. Even the current Young Master finds it difficult to even walk…”
“…Okay, sorry.”
I cut off her words, leaned against the wall for a moment, and muttered, taking a rough breath.
“It’s just, it’s one of the things I want to say when I have friends… I did it this time.”
Upon hearing this, Kania sighed and spoke quietly.
“I’m sorry, but in this state, if even one more Young Master finds out, it doesn’t seem like it can be undone…”
“No, you mean that you think of me that much? Thank you, Kania.”
As I was about to rush my steps after answering that, I hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief from my pocket and started coughing.
“Collock! Colloc!!”
Then, in an instant, the handkerchief began to turn red.
“Kania, get me a handkerchief with self-cleaning magic.”
I put the handkerchief in my pocket with a calm expression on my face, and ordered the thing I needed most now from Kania, who was looking at me quietly from the side.
“I’ll save you with the highest quality.”
After answering like that, Kania opened the door of my dormitory, which had just arrived, and began to speak in a serious voice.
“Oh, and there are two important reports.”
“…okay?
Kania’s expression was unusual, so I started to make a serious expression at the same time, and I sat down on the bed and started to listen to her.
“First and foremost… I think I’ve found a clue about ‘space transition scrolling’.”
“…okay!?”
Soon enough good news came out of her mouth, so I asked with a bright eye.
“So, what kind of motherf*cker did the swap?”
Then Kania shook her head with a slightly troubled expression.
“No, I didn’t find anyone who did the swap.”
“then?”
“I found the source of the scroll.”
Hearing that, I felt a little disappointed, but when I thought about it again, the source of the scroll was a pretty important clue, so she lit up her eyes again and asked for a detailed explanation.
“Remember the last time Young Master asked me to track down the ‘Magician’?”
“Why is that all of a sudden? Wait, maybe…”
“Yeah, I’ve recently been able to get a rumor that someone who matches the look Young Master described is running a scroll business in a back alley.”
As I frowned heavily at those words, Kania added in a low voice.
“And most of those magic scrolls were scams, and most of those scam scrolls were space-transfer scrolls.”
“…what is the level of sophistication?”
“They said that it would be possible to identify them only after performing a detailed analysis in the horse tower. It is also understandable that Arianne was deceived.”
“I’ll turn…”
I feel like my head is aching.
Obviously, the owner, who did not charge me with any fraud or rip-off, is running around some kind of scroll scam.
In addition, the sophistication is enough to be recognized by the horse tower. I knew that the skill of a craftsman was superior to that of any magic tool maker, but… if the magic tower admits it, the story changes a lot.
‘Somehow… Although it was stolen, I started to think that something was strange from the time I had a fight with Isolet with the magic tool I had…’
Although Isolet is now an academy teacher, she has the qualities of the next swordsman. Although she was robbed by her, the fact that she competed for a certain amount… After all, the owner is not an ordinary backstreet merchant.
“…Secure the owner. You can buy with money, or use force if money doesn’t work.”
“All right.”
I needed to know for what purpose the owner was cheating on the scroll, why he didn’t cheat on me, and where the unusual skills came from. began to tilt.
“The second report… is about the punishment of the Young Master decided by the imperial family and the Order.”
“…punishment?”
When I asked a question with my head tilted, Kania answered with a slight frown.
“Yes, although ‘mind control’ forced him to do things… It is true that he took the side of the Demon King, and public opinion across the country is also unavoidable, so this is a punishment that came down to show.”
“…So what’s the punishment?”
Feeling slightly anxious, I asked Kania, and she sighed and answered.
“He’s the type of forced volunteer at the orphanage that we established.”
“It’s crazy, really.”
After hearing those words, I spit out swear words and hurriedly asked Kania a question.
“Is it true that the relationship between me, my family, and the orphanage is clearly separated?”
“Yeah, it’s handwritten perfectly. Unless the Young Master himself reveals the truth, it won’t be discovered.”
Fortunately, I thought that death would not happen by spitting up all the blood in my body, so I suddenly frowned and asked a question.
“But why… After all, this is the nursery we built?”
“I think the decision was made because the current largest nursery school in the Empire was established by Young Master, and it was located in the capital city, and the difficulty of the labor was suitable.”
“…Right.”
Fortunately, after listening to Kania, it seems that information has not been leaked. Well, if the information had leaked out, I would have died sooner.
“So, when is the volunteer work?”
“From today.”
“…Ugh.”
Breathing a sigh of relief, I frowned and grabbed my head when Kania said that I should start volunteering from today.
“I’m sick of my body and I’m going to die… I have to do volunteer work…”
“…By the way, Young Master. Is there any problem with volunteering?”
I was already grumbling because it felt like my whole body was aching, but Kania asked with a worried look on her face.
“In any case… if volunteer work is recognized as ‘good work’…”
“…don’t worry about that.”
I gave her no problem, and opened the ‘unique skill window’ that I had never met since the freshman reception.
[Permanent debuff: False evil’s fate]
Description) Whenever you are found out that you are a ‘False Evil’, your vitality and lifespan will decrease. (The special stack only cuts life.)
[Stacks:2 Special Stacks:1]
I quietly stared at the debuff window where the description of the special stack had been added, and answered Kania with a subdued voice.
“As long as you are joking as much as possible and don’t cooperate at all and show no signs of remorse, even if you do volunteer work, there will be no penalty.”
“However…”
“It’s okay. The imperial family and the denomination will be punished for show anyway. If you keep the good in moderation…”
“…Young Master will receive volunteer work guidance from ‘Mr. Ferroche’.”
I tried to reassure Kania, who had a worried expression on her face, but when I heard that, I started to open my mouth.
“The church has attached Mr. Ferroche as an opponent to correct the Young Master. So, from now on, Young Master will spend a certain amount of time with Mr. Ferroche every day from now on.”
“Ugh…”
“Besides, when the volunteer work is over, go to the building of the Sun God Church and pray with Mr. Perloche…”
“…Isn’t there a way to change the punishment?”
At this point, if I were to be tied up with Ferroche, it would be quite troublesome, so I hurriedly asked Kania a question, but she shook her head and answered.
“…Public opinion is so bad, trying to intervene here may make the situation worse.”
“Well, yes…”
After realizing that I had no choice in the end, I said with a frown on my stomach and chest that started to feel stuffy again.
“Then, I’ll sleep well, so wake me up when it’s time to go to volunteer work.”
“…I’ll wake you up in 30 minutes.”
“Okay then… Wait, 30 minutes later!?”
When I slowly closed my eyes and asked a question after hearing that it was 30 minutes later, Kania said with a sad expression on her face.
“Even if it’s a show, punishment is punishment… because the time is set.”
“Ha… What’s happening these days… Cool! Cool!!”
Hearing this, I closed my eyes tightly and muttered and coughed.
“These days, it seems that the frequency of hemoptysis rather than hemoptysis has increased.”
“Looks like that… Cool!”
I coughed again while trying to answer her, but I opened my mouth, looking at Kania, whose face and clothes were covered in blood, with guilty eyes.
“I’m sorry Kania… I’ll take care of it, so you…
“…the user is supposed to use it in this case, Young Master.”
But Kania, who began to carefully wipe my lips again, looked down at the blood-stained handkerchief and said:
“I have to go out for volunteer work, so although it will only last a day or so and the function will also decrease… I’ll put the self-cleaning magic on Young Master’s handkerchief.”
“Thank you, Kania.”
I smiled at her consideration, and I slowly closed my eyes and muttered.
“You really are the best…”
However, as soon as I closed my eyes, I could not overcome the drowsiness that came upon me, and I felt Kania’s touch and fell into a quiet sleep.
“…whatever the latter may be, it’s probably too much of a title for me.”
Just before she lost consciousness, it seems that Kania’s voice, muttering in a sad voice, was vaguely heard in her ear.
.

“…Have you ever gone through a trial again?”
“No, I slept well this time.”
Kania, who woke me up 30 minutes later, asked worriedly, so I answered with a smile.
‘…is this how it comes out?’
Of course, that was a bona fide lie.
The ordeal locked me in a dark, closed space that I hated the most when neither painful nor happy scenes worked.
“Then, be careful, Young Master.”
“okay.”
Thanks to this, my condition did not improve at all, but I smiled brightly at her and waved my hand, opened the front door and stepped forward.
“…hello.”
“……..”
Then, Perloche, who had a cold expression on her face, came into my sight.
“You look pretty bad. So…”
Perloche, who had been looking at me for a moment, unwittingly spewed out her energy and approached me, then stopped right there.
“No. This is your karma. So don’t expect my treatment.”
“…I never asked for treatment.”
After a while, I replied with a smile to her who spoke with a determined expression, and Perloche began to make a slightly disturbed expression.
[Perloche Astellade’s Current Feelings: Hatred/Guilt/Hesitation]
Seeing Perloche like that, I hurriedly tried the ‘mind reading’ skill to see if she was worried about me again, but luckily it was my bias.
However, seeing that ‘guilt’ is among Perloche’s emotions… As expected, she seems to have full of qualities as a saint.
Aside from hating me, you can see just how badly I am broken in the eyes of her adept at healing.
However, she is currently in a situation where she wants to kill me after downfalling me, so what does she do to heal me?
In other words, she feels guilty about not being able to heal the sick person in front of her, despite the fact that she hates me terribly.
“Well, then we’ll start slowly…”
Unsurprisingly, she tried to look away from me and started walking down the hallway, speaking in a trembling voice.
“…cool.”
“👌”
I coughed as carefully as possible so as not to be heard by such a Perloche, but seeing her flinch as she walked away, it seems that she understood everything.
“…I’ll turn.”
I think you should definitely buy the ‘Increase Life Recovery Speed’ skill.
.
.

“Ah, hello…”
When I and Perloche entered, a female employee who was working inside greeted us in a cold sweat.
Judging from the look on her face, it seems that she is filled with a lot of pressure.
Well, from her point of view, it’s fair to say that at the workplace where she works, two key figures from the Empire are employed as employees.
“Hello! My name is Perloche! Are you the owner of this nursery?”
“Oh, I… that’s…”
“Wow… It’s a really spacious and comfortable place… It’s several times bigger than the nursery school operated by the church…”
After shaking hands vigorously with such a female employee, Perloche started walking around the orphanage with her eyes shining.
“I, over there… Mr. Frey? He, so…”
“…what?”
I blankly watched her like that, but when a female employee next to me spoke to me with a trembling voice, I answered in a hoarse voice.
“Uh… you need to change clothes…”
“no.”
Saying that and making a troublesome expression, the female employee bowed her head and said.
“Boo, please. We also got a call from the denomination yesterday, so it’s embarrassing, but… If Frey-sama doesn’t do volunteer work properly, the budget could be cut…”
“…what do you mean?”
When I asked a question with a frown on the sound that the budget could be cut, the female employee crouched again and answered.
“Yes, yes… So, there are people who donate anonymously to our orphanage… The amount of support is quite large…”
“by the way?”
“If you are a person who supports that much, it must have something to do with the imperial family or the denomination… It’s a big deal if you look hateful in such a situation…”
After listening to her for a while, I answered, thinking that she is a pretty smart person for an ordinary female employee.
“It’s not my part.”
“Yeah, but… Then the kids in the orphanage could end up on the streets again!”
Then, restless, she quickly closed her eyes and screamed.
“what is your name?”
I liked her quite a bit, so when I asked her name, the female employee looked at me gently and answered.
“…it’s Ruby.”
“Rubyra…”
I was repeating her name to remember her, and suddenly she knelt before me and started crying.
“Boo, please! Please visit our orphanage…!”
“Why, why?”

Eventually, she grabbed my leg and started to pray, and all the attention of the people in the orphanage began to focus on me.
“You! What are you doing now!”
In such a situation, I was staring blankly at Ruby crying, and Perloche, who was wandering around the orphanage, approached me with a frown on her face.
“…What?”
“To make a kind-hearted employee cry…! There’s nothing wrong with him…”

Eventually, Ferroche stood in front of me and tried to start preaching fiercely to me, but…
“…Hmm?”
Suddenly, he shivered and began to look around.
“…what’s the matter?”
It looked quite unsettling, so I asked with a bit of concern, and when I asked, Perloche, who had been looking around until then, suddenly frowned, grabbed my arm and started heading somewhere.
“…what, what? Why?”

Eventually, Ferroche entered the empty warehouse and opened his mouth, glaring at me.
“You, you’re trying to use some kind of trickery!”
“…What?”
“Sun God in heaven, watch over us and deliver us from the pit of evil…”

Eventually, she began to spit out a spell, and then the holy energy radiating from her surroundings came together and started pouring down on me all at once.
“I can’t take it any longer! Be prepared! A member of the Demon King’s Army!”
Ferloche, who had spent so much energy for a while, took a deep breath and began to look at me.
“…why are you okay?”
But as I frowned, she approached me with a bewildered expression and began to poke her fingers in places.
“It’s strange… I must have felt a sympathetic energy…”
“What are you doing?”
I got so annoyed by this and tried to push her out of the room, but Ferroche, who stopped by holding my arm, began to speak in a stern voice.
“You, from now on, answer what I’m saying straight away.”
“…okay.”
I didn’t have the confidence to wrestle with her because I wasn’t feeling so well, so I decided to give her a rough match and started to listen.
“What is the most dangerous operation among the Demon King’s recent operations?
But when I heard the words coming out of her mouth, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Oh, don’t laugh! I don’t know that you belong to the Demon King’s Army!”
“…I see.”
“Yeah! I don’t know why you’re still fine even after receiving my powers… Anyway, you’re definitely the Demon King!”
Saying that, Ferroche started glaring at me, shooting holy energy all over my body.
“Okay, volunteer work…”
“Then, answer this. What the hell is going on in the basement of the church?”
“…What?”
Perloche, who had been shooting every nook and cranny of my body like that, hurriedly asked a question when I picked up a broomstick from the warehouse.
“What…”
[Main Quest occurs!]
I was looking at Ferroche, who suddenly asked about the church’s basement, with a mysterious expression, and a quest window suddenly appeared in front of me.
[Main Quest: Secret of the Church of the Sun God]
– Quest Content: Uncover the secrets of the Church of the Sun God and drive away the darkness
[Reward: Increases the Awakening of the Hero’s Armor]
[Failure Penalty: Death of Ferroche Astellade]
“…if you negotiate, I can help.”
And seeing the contents of the quest window, I hurriedly changed my words and started speaking.
Again, it seems that I have no time to rest.
