106 – Story (5)
Because Envy didn’t know who she would touch and when, where, and what she would do.
As someone who read Envy’s novel, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
But surprisingly, time passed peacefully.
Was it because of Malik’s presence? Nothing happened to Sage and Rose.
This was the same for Daisy, who was protected by Lily and Darren in the temple.

Perhaps my perspective was too narrow?
Thinking like that, I began to periodically look at other important people other than those around me.
As usual, Dian made a boring joke to the cadets in the classroom.
Fran swung his sword in the corner training ground as usual. He was puzzled by the fact that his swordsmanship skills were improving so ridiculously, but that was to be expected since he was the main character of the original work.
These days of both tranquility and tension lasted for a month, and while I periodically checked on people around me, I also wandered around Adenia looking for Envy.
However, I couldn’t even find a trace of her, let alone Envy, and she had no choice but to feel a subtle nervousness and keep all her attention focused on various places.
Suddenly, such a question occurred to me.
I wonder if Envy may be out of Adenia.
But the doubt did not last long. To be precise, I quickly realized that my questions were in vain.
Was the tranquility so far the calm just before the storm struck?
The situation began to move quickly.
“Son-in-law, please take care of my daughter.”
Deron, who suddenly received a call from the emperor, called me to the carriage before leaving.
“And… I received a call from that person not long ago. They said he was coming here. “I think Envy was called by that woman.”
Deren said, waving a black communication device in front of me. The former hero Mort has completely become corrupted and is coming here.
After breaking up with Darren, I was struggling with the complicated situation, but Senior Randel, who came to me out of the blue, made my head even more complicated.
“An order was given to the organization in the name of ‘Alphonse.’ “They say they will attack this place the day after tomorrow to lay the foundation for a large-scale revolution.”
“Alfons is dead, right? No, apart from that, are there people in ‘Wings of Freedom’ who are capable of attacking the Academy?”
“Everyone worthy of that died like Alphonse.”
“Then what about the members around the seniors?”
“Because there were a lot of things that were uncomfortable, I decided not to follow them all. However, some members said they saw something strange.”
“Is it something strange?”
“I saw several ghouls entering the northern forest. “I chased after him, but I couldn’t find any traces.”
After hearing the unusual story from Randel, I was immediately convinced.
Envy, that woman has finally started to move.
I think the ghouls who entered the forest are members of the ‘Wings of Freedom’ revived by Envy. Among them, Alphonse will also be included.
I felt the need to tell Dian this fact right away, so after parting ways with Randel, I started walking towards Dian’s teacher’s office.
While heading to Dian’s office, I was passing by the temple and unintentionally overheard the excited conversation between several paladins, and had to stop immediately.
“Did you guys hear the news? “They said the pilgrimage date has been moved up.”
“Huh? “When?”
“Four days later.”
“Oh my god, it’s not the time to be like this.”
“Okay, everyone, let’s start preparing for the trip starting today.”
It was not good news. Even though Envy hasn’t been dealt with yet, Lily’s ‘pilgrimage’ schedule is moving forward right under her nose.
‘Envy, it’s her doing.’
I could guess. The reason why Lily’s pilgrimage was brought forward is because Envy told Rust, the sin of lust that controls her kingdom, to do so.
‘I don’t know how you know…’
I think Envy knows that I am going to follow her on ‘her pilgrimage.’
The reason Lily’s ‘pilgrimage’ was brought forward was probably to add to the confusion for me.
A situation that suddenly begins to become turbulent.
Honestly, I was embarrassed. Her mind became confused and she even had a headache.
Just a little while ago, I finished organizing my thoughts.
‘It worked out better.’
It is true that it is a complicated and difficult situation.
However, if you handle it well, it was also an opportunity to deal with not only Envy but also her former warrior, Mort.
Is that all? After dealing with them, you can follow Lily’s ‘pilgrimage’ right away without wasting time.
If you handle it well.

“I know.”
When I arrived at Dian’s teacher’s office and told him what I had heard from Randel, Dian calmly replied.
“They leaked the information first. “As if to stop it if you can.”
“You said it leaked there first?”
“Okay. “We have already been talking about this at the faculty meeting.”
“What were we going to do?”
“Well, I decided to prepare. With classes closed for a week, all professors capable of combat decided to reside at the academy. “We will notify cadets separately.”
After hearing Dian’s words, I thought deeply.
Envy, why is that woman trying to attack the academy, even bringing up the name of ‘Wings of Freedom’? Why did you intentionally leak the information?
As I was pondering over and over again, an episode from a novel written by Envy came to mind.
When the jealous female protagonist met her first love for the first time in a long time, the female protagonist killed her person first.
Her own first love A woman who wanted more than companionship from her own first love, sticking by her side.
I asked Dian straight away.
“Professor, is there a girl you’re close with these days?”
“···?”
“It’s good if you like the professor, but even if you don’t, is there any woman who sticks with the professor for a long time?”
“Because she is in the same grade, she and Professor Kalmia often come and go… But why is that?”
“Professor Kalmia, where are you now? “He is dangerous.”
“Why is Kalmia… Ah!”
Dian, who was expressing doubts about my question, his expression became stiff, and he went straight out the door and started running, and I followed behind him.
How long did you go around the academy like that?
“···.”
In the end, we did not meet Professor Kalmia.
****
After coming to her senses, Kalmia looked at the scenery unfolding in front of her and thought.
Am I dreaming now?
She had reason to think so.
Because this was her grave, her tomb, where she was chained to a wooden plank in the shape of a cross, and what she could see beneath her own vision were hundreds of ghouls.
In addition, she saw the face of her old friend smiling happily while looking at her.
“It’s been a while, Kalmia.”
“Cell…Retina?”
“I’m quite surprised that you remember me.”
Envy continued her words while twiddling Kalmia’s hair with her fingers.
“But why did you forget that I am very jealous?”
“What is that…”
“You girl, you’re acting like a fool. You like my fiance. “Looking at it from afar, how ridiculous it was.”
“I am… Eup, eup.”
Just as Kalmia was about to reply, Envy put a piece of black cloth in her Kalmia’s mouth and smiled seductively.
“Don’t worry. I won’t kill you right away. And watch. “How I stole Dian’s heart.”
Envy glanced at the ghouls and continued her words.
“It will not be too late for you to pay the price later for your unreasonable greed.”

Somewhere in the forest with a magnificent waterfall visible.
After receiving a request from Narita, Fran thought for a while before answering.
“We will help you. But please promise me this one thing.”
With a resolute voice, clearly.
“I won’t kill anyone.”
“Of course. “What I want is an encounter with an old love, not a petty killing.”
“And please keep that in mind. What I want to help you with is not the Seven Deadly Sins, but Princess Celetina’s past. “If you break your promise to me…”
After saying that, Fran got up from her seat and frowned as she tightly gripped the handle of her sword.
“No matter how much you have taught me, no matter how you really feel, I will have no choice but to cut you down.”
“I promise. And thank you. “For respecting my last regret.”
Narita smiled brightly looking at Fran like that.
He seems like a cute guy.
I muttered that to myself.
****
Malik was muttering as he watched the three women climbing the mountain from afar.
“Ah, now it looks like I have to give up my room as well. “You sound like a damn junior.”
Malik, who was protecting Sage and Rose from afar, had to sigh as he looked at the light blonde woman next to them.
It was worth it.
It was already difficult enough for Malik to stay with Sage and Rose, but on top of that, she also decided to have that woman, Daisy, stay at her house for the time being.
Although we haven’t talked to her yet, Malik, who was watching Daisy from afar, was able to recognize her right away.
Looking at the fact that she bickers with Rose and also throws her subtle harsh words at Seiji, it seems clear that that child also has a formidable personality.
Malik prayed earnestly in his heart. He doesn’t mind sleeping on the ground, but he doesn’t want his rank to fall to the ground.
“···?”
Malik, who was praying inwardly, tilted his head and looked curiously at a man approaching him.
A black flowing robe,
Dark skin visible through a deeply pressed hood,
An exquisite Maggi that gives a thrilling sensation through the bones.
It is dangerous. After thinking about that, Malik moved his hands to his waist and spoke in a calm tone.
“Ah, I think I know who it is.”
“···.”
“He was a warrior, but he became an idiot. “That’s you, right?”
With that said, finally.
The man covered in robes and Malik pulled out their swords at the same time and began swinging at each other.
