The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me chapter 60

“Good night, Young Master?”

“Oh, Kania.”

The next day, after returning safely from the forest to the academy, I woke up feeling quite refreshed.

“I slept really well today. Really.”

Instead of waking up looking at the old ceiling of the secret base or the sky full of sunlight, waking up looking at the ceiling of the dormitory feels quite secure.

“Are you really sure you’re right?”

“Yeah, you slept really well this time? Thanks to the ordeal ended early, I was able to get a good night’s sleep without even dreaming.”

Nevertheless, when Kania continued to ask, I answered with a soft smile, but upon hearing that, she frowned and asked again.

“Then, is it a lie to say you slept well?”

“Uh… is that so?”

At that sharp question, I gently avoided my gaze and muffled my words, and Kania sighed and sat down on my bed.

“Young Master, there’s no need to hide that from me. I’m the only Young Master…”

– Profit…

Then, just as Kania held my hand and talked, the dormitory door slowly opened and someone came in.

“Oh, hello?”

When Irina entered my room, she saw me and Kania holding hands and greeted me with a slight blush, and then there was silence in the room for a while.

“…He’s not the only one who understands, but he’s a loyal henchman.”

Kania, who finally broke the silence, glanced at Irina gently and finished her speech.

“Uh… So, I’ve finished the procedures. So, from today on, I’m your maid.”

As Irina said, starting today, her official status is my dedicated maid.

At first, Irina insisted on leaving the academy and joining my maid, but I desperately ripped her off.

This is because leaving the academy will not only hinder her progress to the position of the archmage she so longs for, but will also have a negative effect on the scenario.

As a result of tearing it up and drying it for a while, Irina changed her mind to become my temporary employee and wanted to live in the same dormitory as me, but this time, Kania desperately stopped it.

By the way, I don’t know the reason for the marriage or the conversation between the two of them after that.

The only thing I know is that after hours and hours had passed, Kania came out of the room with a cold smile and Irina had a gloomy expression on her face.

Anyway, as a result, Irina, who was neither my exclusive maid nor a temporary worker, eventually got a job as a maid in a noble dormitory as a last resort.

Of course, working as a maid in an aristocratic dormitory and being an academy student at the same time was against the rules, but I was able to circumvent the rules by giving the dean Lionel a small gift.

So she lived in an empty room right next to my dorm room and became a dedicated maid who came to me whenever I called.

“By the way… it’s a bit awkward too. No matter how unavoidable it is…”

“So, Irina-san. Why the hell did you make such a choice?”

Irina, who was looking around with an awkward expression on the maid outfit she wore for the first time in her life, answered Kania’s bitter question with a serious expression on her face.

“In regards to that, there’s something you guys need to know.”

Saying that, Irina sat down on the chair, took a deep breath, and spoke surprising words from her mouth.

“I’ll start with the conclusion. Kania, you are currently under suspicion, and Frey may be assassinated sooner or later.”

When Kania and I with those words opened our eyes, Irina sighed and finished speaking.

“So I came in as a double spy to try to improve the situation somehow.”

Kania and I, who had been bruising for a while even after Irina had finished speaking, looked at each other for a moment and then exchanged words one by one.

“After all, I must have been under suspicion. Somehow, the information that has been coming to me lately has been too sparse.”

“Yeah, why didn’t the assassin come? Now the difficulty will rise rapidly.”

After saying that, when we both looked depressed at the same time, Irina looked at us and started talking again.

“First of all, Kania, you are being suspicious of the princess.”

“Are you talking about Clana-san?”

“Yeah, I’m not sure yet… The princess sees a high possibility of your conversion now, and is trying to get some evidence.”

At those words, Kania said with a firm expression.

“Well, no matter how exquisitely a vague secret document is conveyed… If it repeats itself, there’s no way Clana-san won’t notice.”

“That’s right, I’ve often seen the princess muttering while feeling strange about the documents you gave me.”

As Irina responded to those words, Kania turned the fountain pen she took out of her arms and fell into thoughts.

“And, the princess is also preparing to assassinate Frey.”

“Is Clana-san preparing to assassinate the Young Master?”

Then, when Irina started talking again, Kania stopped turning the fountain pen, frowned and interrupted the conversation.

“Obviously Mr. Clana’s plan wasn’t to completely destroy and then kill the Young Master, was it?”

“Yeah, it was.”

Irina looked at me and continued, looking at the two women who were casually talking about a terrifying story, thinking that maybe it was fortunate that they were caught.

“But the princess’s thoughts have changed because of the ‘People’s Dormitory Assault’ and this ‘Sacred Undead Knight’ incident.”

“…how?”

“If it is possible to kill secretly and secretly, I will kill you as quickly as possible.”

Hearing that, I hardened my expression for a moment, but then answered with a smirk.

“It’s okay. There’s no problem with that. No matter how fast Clana expands her power… within a year, it’ll be hard to get enough power to threaten me. So the level of an assassin is definitely…”

“The princess has joined hands with the elders of the ‘Moonlight Family’.”

Hearing those words, I felt my heart pounding and began to express myself.

Clana has the confidence to overcome the assassination plans and assassins that she has devised and selected by herself.

However, if she had teamed up with the Moonlight family’s ‘senior council’, the story would be very different.

This is because the Moonlight family’s elder council, which has been working on assassination since the family’s founding until now, is about to start in earnest.

Of course, the Senate had already ordered Serena to kill me, but the fact that they are trying to kill me by inviting other factions means that their plan is going wrong.

This is because it is quite unusual for the Moonlight family, who is nothing more than the shadow of the empire, to join forces with other powers, no matter how princess Clana.

“Probably, they’re going to your birthday party next week. To prevent that, I tried to convince the princess that I would risk becoming a spy, but… I’m not sure if that worked.”

“Umm…”

With that thought in mind, Irina, who passed on additional information and looked at me, spoke in a low voice.

“So be careful. Don’t die for nothing.”

After saying that, Irina slowly turned her gaze to the side, and I laughed out loud at how funny she was, then I tilted my head in curiosity and asked a question.

“By the way, how the hell do you know such information? I don’t think Clana shared all of that?”

“Ah, that’s…”

Hearing that question, Irina answered as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“…It’s true that Clana shared the assassination plan, but I discovered the cooperation with the Moonlight family myself.”

“how?”

“I stole the letter.”

Hearing this, I made a blank expression for a moment, then asked in an absurd voice.

“Isn’t that information that could be stolen so easily?”

Then Irina said with a slightly proud expression on her face.

“Because I was poor when I was young… I’m good at stealing things.”

“By the way, the first time I met you was when I ran into you on the street with bread in a hurry?”

Hearing those words, I suddenly remembered Irina and asked a question with a grin.

“At that time, when the bread was scattered on the street, I got very angry, so I bought a larger one several times bigger…

“mm, I mean, there was nothing I could do to make a living.”

Hearing that, Irina blushed and laughed as she made excuses, when Kania, who was sitting quietly next to her, suddenly interrupted the conversation.

“Now is not the time, Young Master.”

“yes?”

“Shouldn’t we come up with the next plan and strategy? We shouldn’t cause any more variables.”

I nodded quietly at those words, and Kania took out a notebook from her arms and started asking me questions.

“First of all, I want to know a little bit about who will be a threat in the future. I will deal with it in advance… No, I will investigate.”

“Umm…”

Hearing those words, I began to answer while recalling the contents of the Prophets.

“If they are people who will be a threat in the future… Except for the ‘main heroines’, they will be ‘sub-heroes’.”

“A sub-heroine?”

“Yeah, like Isolet… or Arianna, Irina’s friend.”

Hearing this, Irina was startled, while Kania began to write something down in her notebook with a serious expression on her face.

“Ah, and next year I will be entering the academy… The daughter of the intelligence guild leader who dominates the afterlife, the youngest paladin of the Sun God Church, and the princess of a small country in the Western Continent are also sub-heroes.”

Then, as the number of people I was referring to increased, Kania clenched her notebook tightly and whispered softly.

“…what are so many?”

To her words, I answered with a smirk.

“Of course, that’s a story on a normal route… In the false evil route, they’re just as difficult as the main heroines.”

“ha…”

I looked at Kania, who sighed after hearing those words, with an apologetic expression, and secretly delivered the good news.

“Still, I have a good relationship with the information guild’s daughter right now… That part…”

“Okay. Then, what’s the next ‘Main Quest’?”

Kania’s eyes, who for some reason cut off my words, were cold, so my spine shivered for a moment and I quickly opened the system window in front of my eyes.

[Main Quest: Liberation of the Slave Market]

– Quest Content: Raid the upcoming massive slave market and free the slaves to prevent catastrophe!

[Reward: Increases the awakening of the warrior’s armor, increases the total amount of mana]

[Failure penalty: Reputation greatly reduced]

“…A raid on the slave market?”

As soon as I read the contents of the system window that appeared in front of me, Kania said with a hopeful expression.

“I’m sure it’s not the case I’m aware of, is it?”

“I can’t read your memories…but it’s probably the case you’re thinking of.”

Upon hearing those words, Kania sighed deeply and bowed her head.

“The slave market is like a bomb shed. If you get it wrong… even a Young Master won’t be able to handle it.”

After a while, Kania opened her mouth quietly and began to speak in a worried voice.

“Isn’t it necessary to follow the main quest? If you are too swayed by the system, Satan will surely arise someday. So, I think this main quest is…”

“It’s not because of the main quest.”

“yes?”

I looked at her like that, and started speaking with a determined look.

“Even if this wasn’t the main quest… Even if the rewards and penalties were reversed… I would have decided to block this case unconditionally.”

“Young Master, but…”

I raised my hand to stop Kania from interfering with my words, and spoke again in a clear tone.

“It’s already been decided in the previous episode. I will prevent that disaster and free the slaves no matter what.”

“…okay.”

Kania, who had hardened her expression for a moment when I did not change her mind, said with a soft smile.

“If the Young Master’s will is the case, then I will obey. I am the Young Master’s henchman.”

“Thank you, Kania.”

As I responded to her with a soft smile, Irina, who was quietly watching us from the side, timidly intervened.

“Uh… I’ll do my best to help.”

“Yes, thank you. Irina.”

I said hello to her as well, got up from bed, and left the dormitory.

“Then, I’m going to go to class now.”

The time has come to go back to boring classes.

.

.

.

.

.

“Today is the last day of the first semester. And, at the same time, it is also the day the special exam begins.”

Something is wrong.

As usual, I was trying to pass time by listening to boring classes in a boring classroom, but Isolette takes a special exam.

“…how did this happen?”

“Well, I don’t know either.”

When I asked a question with a mysterious expression, Kania, who had entered the classroom with me, also answered with a look of incredulity.

“Hey… a special test?”

And when a commoner student raised his hand and asked if it was the same for the other students, Isollett said with a calm expression.

“The special test you will be taking from today is a test to reselect students who will be dropped from Class A next semester.”

Upon hearing this, the noble students and my faces turned blue.

“That, what does that mean!”

“The results of the last final exam… Weren’t all the dropouts from commoners?”

“This is an abuse of power! No matter how prestigious the professor is, this kind of behavior is…!”

Eventually, the noble students got up like a swarm of bees and started protesting.

“…it’s an order from the imperial family.”

When the nobles all shut their mouths at those words, Isolet grinned and said.

“Thanks to those who lobbied hard and bribes to get the points… The imperial family got quite upset when the talented guys were eliminated.”

“Well then…”

“The imperial family chose to retest instead of investigating the facts. Therefore, I just follow it. Do you have any objections?”

Of course, no one disputed that statement. Because the moment you raise an objection, you will be objecting to the decision of the imperial family.

Amidst such a chilling silence, I rolled my eyes and immersed myself in thought.

‘Something strange…? Was the imperial family such a clean and conscientious group?’

The present imperial family is a breeding ground for corruption and a bureaucracy where all kinds of conspiracy tricks are rampant.

In fact, most of the corruption and corruption occurring in most state institutions are managed and controlled by the imperial family.

Therefore, the large-scale corruption case that occurred in this final exam must have also closed its eyes at the same time as the imperial family intervened.

But, why did the imperial family make such a decision?

‘Is it Clana?’

I glanced at Clana just in case, but she also had an unfamiliar expression on her face.

In fact, even Clana, who has gathered quite a lot of power, will not have the authority to intervene fully in these corruptions yet.

And, not only Clana, but also the majority of officials will not have the authority and power to make this decision that goes against the existing position of the imperial family.

‘…The Empress? 1 prince? 1 Princess?’

So I started to think of people who could do these things with the click of a finger, but no matter how much I thought about them, I couldn’t think of any reason why they would do these things.

“Umm…”

After that, I tried to guess what happened for a long time, but when my head started to hurt, I gave up guessing and started asking questions to Isolet.

“So, what is the content of the exam?”

Then, Isolette started talking without even looking at me.

“The special test we’re going to see today will be a team fight.”

When the children heard the word dungeon and teamfight, they began to murmur, and Isolet, who blew out a cold energy to the children and quieted them for a moment, looked around and continued talking.

“The team, as always, is divided into a noble team and a commoner team, and each team has a commander appointed.”

Saying that, Isolet put the ballot box in front of the school table.

“The commander is decided by everyone’s vote. So, nobles and commoners should vote for their commander from now on.”

Saying that, Isolette handed out the papers, and most of the nobles began to sneak a glance at me.

‘…well, they don’t want me to be the commander either.’

Right now, I am being hated by everyone because of the rumor that I am closely related to the Demon King.

So, even aristocrats who are willing to stand in line will not vote for me.

If they are quick at calculating, wouldn’t they choose Clana, the current rising sun, as their commander?

“Then, let’s start counting.”

I was so engrossed in my thoughts, Isolet suddenly tapped the ballot box and declared the count of the votes.

– Shrek!

Then, the chalk on the blackboard moved automatically and started writing down the voting results automatically.

– Noble side: Frey Raon Starlight

– Commoners side: Clana Solar Sunrise

“…under.”

And the result, quite simply, exceeded my expectations.

‘The nobles are more stupid than I thought… the commoners are smarter than I thought.’

At that time, when I was despairing at the fact that I had to take on the role of a commander whom I had so much to do, I was going to die.

“Okay. From today, I will appoint Frey Raon Starlight as the commander of the commoners and Clana Solar Sunrise as the commander of the nobles.”

When those words were finished, there was silence for a moment.

“Hey, Professor? What is that…”

“I’m not mistaken. In the special exams that will continue throughout the holidays, Frey will be the commander of the commoners and Clana will take the commander of the nobles.”

When those words were finished, everyone fell into silence again.

Perhaps, he was in such a shock that he did not even think of humming.

“Then, the commander has been decided, so let’s reveal the identity of this special test.”

Isolet, who was looking at those children calmly, raised the corners of her mouth and said.

“From now on until the end of the vacation, if you protect your commanders, you win.”

When everyone was embarrassed by that, Isolet quietly added a word.

“The leader of the winning team will be given the authority to select some of the people who will be eliminated.”

.

.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the back alley at that time.

“So, what is the Demon Lord’s intention?”

“Anyway, you haven’t revealed your identity until now, so I’m going to die of disbelief… Isn’t this too much of an act?”

“This is unacceptable. How can someone who is neither a demon nor a monster…”

People who had gathered in the dark room, covering their faces with robes, were complaining one word at a time.

“Quiet, quiet!!!”

When a man sitting at their top table slammed his desk in disgust, everyone stopped complaining and kept their mouths shut.

“This is an order from the majestic Demon King…”

The second-in-command of the Demon King’s army, who was staring at them coldly, looked down at the same photo everyone was holding and declared in a low voice.

“…From today on, this man is one of the top executives of the Demon King’s Army.”
