86 – Finding the Skull (3)
Randel was sitting at the table, reading the letters delivered to him one after another.
“What on earth are you planning?”
Landel threw the letter she was reading on the table and closed her eyes with a sigh.
She deserved it. The content of the letter that Randel had seen until recently was that James, the leader of ‘Wings of Liberty’, was in constant contact with the Chaos Church.
“It’s a pain in the ass…”
Randel was lost in her thoughts, holding her throbbing head.
The betrayal of someone she trusted was causing her headaches.
Suddenly, he found himself in a position where he had to take responsibility for the uncertain future of those who trusted him.
“We have to deal with it quickly…”
The author is still the actual head of ‘Wings of Liberty’.
In addition, the number of members who are aware of his betrayal is counted within five fingers.
Therefore, Randel was in a situation where he could not make a hasty move until the perfect opportunity arose.
James seemed to be planning something in that situation, and his whereabouts so far have been unclear.
“Have you become impatient?”
Landel sighed again and picked up another piece of stationery.
Being anxious will not help, so wait calmly and slowly look for an opportunity. He thought so.
It was definitely like that.
“What is this…?”
While reading another letter, Landel found something incomprehensible and had to hold back his pounding head.
It was worth it. The content was none other than the news that one of the secret residences of ‘Wings of Freedom’ had been taken over.
Is that all? The presence of the person who occupied the secret residence also disturbed Randel’s thoughts. I couldn’t understand it at all.
Not only can it move, but it can even talk.

After I decided to get help from my acquaintances.
I met many people and was able to hear many stories.
First of all, there was a minor episode with Daisy where she was caught up in her delusions.
After struggling to find it again, she decided to organize and bring me the rumors floating around the academy.
Professor Dian told me something I didn’t know, and decided to pass on information coming to the Academy.
Next is Sage and Tweet.
Sage said he would look for information about the skeleton, and Tweet, who had been fooled by me, decided to search all over Adenia under the pretext of playing.
‘I told Rose, so next time…’
It was Randel, an assistant in the combat department and the top third-year student. The reason I came to see him was to borrow the information power of ‘Wings of Freedom.’
Randel frowned and answered my question.
“It was a talking skull… It was already a car that gave me a headache because of that skull.”
Is it because they are rebels who are good at information?
Randel knew information about the skeleton, and I could not help but rejoice.
“But junior, why are you looking for this skull? No, ask first. “What on earth is that skeleton doing?”
“He is a thief. “I have to get the stolen items back from him.”
“You got robbed?”
“Yes, it is something more precious to me than life.”
“He’s a bad guy…”
“That’s right. Senior Randel, do you even know where that guy is?”
“I know, but…”
When I asked, Randel trailed off and appeared to hesitate.
“I think it would be difficult to tell.”
“Why?”
“It’s one of our secret residences.”
Randel answered with a very serious expression. So she tried to protest something.
Randel seemed to have sensed my momentum and continued her words with a shallow smile.
“I promise you this much in return.”
“What?”
“I will get back the items you said were stolen, no matter what happens.”
Randel put her hand on my shoulder, and she made a meaningful expression.
“I was planning on going and handling it myself.”
After hearing Randel’s promise, I had to think for a moment.
‘Are you going to be okay?’
Skeletons that have existed for a long time,
Randel, the 3rd year senior in the Combat Department and the owner of the Memory Eye.
The conclusion was reached quickly, and I was able to answer Randel with a smile.
“I will definitely ask you to do so.”
I understood the situation of Randel, who would be of great help to me in the future, and I did not want to cause a minor conflict.
More than anything, no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think Randel will ever be harmed by that skeleton.
Even if Randel suffered, I still had faith in him.
‘Because I know where the secret residences are.’
Anyway, we found out where the skeleton might be staying.
If you didn’t hear any news from Randel, all you had to do was visit him in person.

Under a chandelier ornately decorated with expensive luxuries and jewels.
An old man with a face covered in age spots and an old man with short, white hair were drinking wine glasses.
“Wow, a dog you trusted is trying to bite its owner… You must be in a lot of pain. Do you have any plans?”
Mandara, the Archbishop of the Chaos Church, asked with a sad expression.
“Giggles. What can I do? “I tamed the dog myself, so I have no choice but to take responsibility for training it.”
James, the leader of ‘Wings of Freedom’, responded by waving his hand as if nothing had happened.
Then Mandala took out a black gem from her bosom and handed it to James.
“So that’s why you requested this item. “I hope it helps this time as well as last time.”
“There’s no way it wouldn’t help. “It’s something that turns normal people into puppets.”
“By the way, are you still having fun? “Is he well?”
“Of course. Thanks to that, he is still waiting for this lowly commoner with his legs wide open today.”
“The Emperor, who has been looking for him for 12 years, would really be pleased to hear this. Ha, ha ha!”
What is so enjoyable?
Mandala and James clinked their glasses and laughed for a while.
How much did you laugh like that?
Mandara bowed his head to James, whose face turned red as if he was drunk.
“Please do me a favor.”
“Giggles, I understand. “Don’t worry, I will take responsibility for bringing that boy called Camel or something.”
“hahahaha, I’ll just trust James. Then shall we have a toast? Now, give the people the right to equality!”
“Religious freedom for the people!”
The two ugly old men clinked their glasses and smiled brightly.
Without revealing each other’s true feelings to the end.

“Tweet! Tweet!”
-Rat, rattle.
Skeleton Malik was lost in thought as he tore the cheese jerky to the blue bird, who was vigorously spinning in his treadmill.
‘No matter how much I think about this, I think it’s a loss for me.’
The reason Malik lured this bluebird to Camel was because she wanted to see the child in trouble.
He looks very similar to the leader who has been running him for 1,000 years,
Like the leader, the favor he receives from his first love,
In addition, the child is receiving great attention from several pretty women.
He said he had never received one in 1,000 years.
Malik didn’t like that aspect of his arrogant junior, and he wanted to get grumpy before saying hello.
So he kidnapped this Qingjo, who seemed to be Camel’s familiar.
He was willing to wait leisurely until the angry Camel came to him.
Even though it looks like a skeleton.
As a senior in his life, Malik wanted to provide some education to his juniors, who probably thought he was the best in the world.
I also wanted to find out what level of Camel she is at both her job and her job.
No matter how much I think about it, I am very proud of it, and it was a perfect plan.
I thought so.
“Tweet! Tweet!”
-Rat, rattle.
The blue bird, chewing beef jerky and running on a treadmill for 9 hours non-stop, was more than enough to change Malik’s thoughts.
“It’s Twiss. “
“Tweet!”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Tweet, tweet. I’ll definitely remember it. But tweet. “Aren’t you feeling sleepy?”
“Tweet!”
“Shut up the skull gourd and just tear up the beef jerky? Ah Okay···.”
Malik thought quietly as he began tearing into the beef jerky again, scratching his skull instead of the back of his head.
‘Is this damn bluebird’s damn personality hereditary?’
Then I think back to old memories.
The familiar that the leader carried around,
Although she is not the owner, she often looks after the blue bird,
The Qing dynasty looked down on itself.
‘Pebu. ‘I didn’t know I would miss you.’
In Malik’s opinion, Tweet was an even more f*cked up bluebird than Pevud.
“Tweet! Tweet?”
“But why are you being so nice to me?”
Then, Tweet’s indifferent chirping reached Malik’s ear.
Malik answered in a rather faint voice.
“When I look at you, I think of an old friend who sadly passed away.”
If not, I would have made a whole roast a long time ago.
Malik, who almost said something like that, but held it back, continued to tear into the beef jerky without saying a word.
‘Junior, can you come quickly?’
Is it because I tore up the beef jerky so much? Malik hoped, feeling as if the bones in his fingers were out of alignment.
Carmel, I hope that child will hurry up and bring that damned blue bird… No, to him.
Has that wind even reached the sky?
-Crash.
The sound of the locked door opening was heard, and Malik quickly turned his head.
“Huh?”
“It’s you.”
However, the child wearing gold-rimmed glasses who opened the door was not Camel, but a child I had never seen before.
‘What should I do?’
Malik, who had not expected anyone other than Kamel to come here, was quite embarrassed, and Randel quietly muttered to Malik.

“Carmel, you are the thief who stole my junior’s precious items.”
“Oh, do you know Camel?”
“Are you really talking?”
“Can you please answer me?”
“I guess we know each other since we’re juniors, right?”
Randel responded and pulled out the sword from her scabbard.
“hehehe, hehehe!”
The skeleton smiled evilly and pulled out two daggers from his belt.
It was difficult for Malik to hold back his laughter.
Because, not only was the kid standing in front of him going to tear the beef jerky for Tweet instead of him, but he was also going to help Camel pick on that kid.

After class, I was sitting in the lecture room and quietly whispered to Rose.
“Rose, let’s get some rest today.”
“Today too? “Ah, why!”
Then Rose puffed out her cheeks and made a fuss.
I understand. Even though I told Rose that I would show her swordsmanship and magic again, I can count the days when I actually got to see her properly.
“I’m sorry. “I’m really busy with work.”
“Okay…”
Was that disappointing?
Rose, who had become sullen, bowed her head and did as I said.
As she looked at that pitiful sight, she felt the urge to head to the training ground with him right away, but she couldn’t.
Because today I heard that Randel was absent from her academy without permission.
‘I’m sure it didn’t hurt you, right?’
Looking at the actions the skeleton showed last time, he doesn’t seem to be a complete enemy, and he doesn’t seem like he’ll harm anyone.
Once she stopped hearing from Randel, she started to worry.
‘I have to go quickly.’
I was about to stand up with that promise, when a beautiful voice came into my ear.
“Camel.”
When she looked up, Seiji was licking her lips with an anxious expression.
“My baby is gone.”
What?
She tried to answer that way.
I could not bring myself to open my mouth due to the bloody voice coming from next to me.
“What does this crazy b*tch say?”
Turning her head, she saw Rose with her features contorted like a demon.
