Episode 97
What was it?
Until the next day, I didn’t even understand why Ares wanted to shake my hand.
If you want to express your gratitude, express it, and if you say thank you, then why not?
You have to get good grades in order to master Adele’s mental methods.
It would have been easier if I had talked to someone about this, but… … .
[…] … .]
Samuel had been sleeping soundly since the operation and would not wake up.
That’s why there was no one to discuss Ares’ bizarre behavior.
Anyway.
Ares is not normal either.
“… … So, the scores will be released right after class today!”
As I was thinking about this and that, the inquiry of Idea came to an end before I knew it.
Ssuk-.
I looked around.
The cadets were still confused and unable to concentrate.
It had to be.
Just a few days ago, I fought and shed blood, but now that I’m back to my daily routine, it’s normal to feel comfortable and let go.
The deaths of his colleagues must have not gone away yet.
Edea knows that, so she’s going to keep it quiet for a while.
However, this atmosphere seemed to fade soon.
Because the final exams will start soon.
Just like that, when I was about to get up from my seat.
“Class president, come here.”
Edea called me
what?
do you have something to say to me
I tilted my head and moved toward Edea.
Then Edea spoke to me with a stern expression.
“Tell me honestly.”
“What do you mean?”
“Are you hiding something from me?”
“… … !!”
Startle.
At Edea’s words, I had to shake my shoulders mercilessly.
Because there are countless things I hide from Edea and other people around me.
There were not only one or two stabs, so I had no choice but to react sensitively.
no way.
‘I’m sure my identity wasn’t found out, right?’
But I can say that I thoroughly hid that… … .
I covered the tattoo on the nape of my neck by distributing mana to my dark talent even before my mana ran out.
So my lineage won’t be exposed.
then.
‘… … I’m inducing.’
She’s trying to get me to tell you what I’m hiding.
But I didn’t know what Edea noticed and asked me.
Let’s take a look.
So far, Edea has never doubted my identity.
The sudden question is that something happened yesterday.
Eventually, I realized why Edea was questioning me.
‘You saw the recorded video.’
The process of the midterm exam contained in the yen flower.
He must have felt a sense of déjà vu there and asked.
one.
There were so many vague corners that I couldn’t really answer.
First of all, let’s get out of the way.
“… … You got caught too.”
“Class monitor! Hurry up and confess!”
“Actually, I didn’t want to eat the emergency rations the instructor gave me, so I secretly killed and ate wild animals around me.”
“… … !”
At my words, Edea widened her eyes as if she had seen a traitor to the organization.
Then she spoke.
“I never thought I would dare to ignore the instructor’s sincerity. From next time, we will give you double the amount of emergency food!”
Edea spat out such cruel words without hesitation.
While I was trying to be different, Edea opened her mouth.
“Well, actually, I didn’t call the class president for that.”
“Then why did you call me?”
“Looking at it, it seems that the class president has arbitrarily introduced a ‘beast’ inside Saitan without formal permission.”
“ah.”
I sighed.
Was that why you called me?
– Hiss.
When I made a small gesture, the solitude in my arms peeked out.
At the sight of her solitude, Edea’s eyes lit up with a slight discoloration.
“Was it this guy who defeated that human cadet?”
“Yes, I think the word repulse is an exaggeration. I was able to save my life thanks to him.”
I agreed with Edea’s words.
In fact, I thought about hiding the identity of solitude until the end, but I thought it was a bad decision.
There was no benefit to hiding his identity at the point where the existence of solitude was known to the instructors through the already recorded video.
Rather, the fact that I had taken out the solitude by arousing curiosity about solitude could have spread to Renée.
Edea pondered over my excuse for a while, then asked again.
“That snake, where did you work?”
“… … that.”
I was not quick to answer.
If you tell Kyle that you brought it from the Barares family, as she did to Kyle, Edea will soon realize that the snake’s true identity is loneliness.
In Kyle’s case, it was only possible because he saw me as Barares’ secret henchman.
Even so, the reason why Kyle was sent again with a letter to Crete in Baares is because he had a ‘device’ in the letter.
And according to the contents of the Demon God’s Oath, Kyle couldn’t do anything that would threaten me.
but.
‘Idea is different.’
It wouldn’t be strange if she grabbed my leash and shook it.
So the answer I came up with is.
“It’s a snake from the human instructor’s lab.”
“In the lab?”
“At that time, it suddenly came out and I was so surprised that it released mana. But, it ate my darkness… … .”
In order to add credibility to his words, he fed Solitude with drops of water painted with darkness.
Burr-.
Then, as if he liked it, he trembled once.
Thanks to the thickening of the water drops as the level of the dark attribute went up, these days, solitude has been enjoying an unusual meal.
Edea’s eyes sparkled at that sight.
“Cute.”
“You mean this guy?”
I blinked my eyes in bewilderment.
Loneliness is cute
To put it mildly, the appearance of solitude was terrifying.
If it was gross, it was gross, but I never expected that it would be called cute.
What a peculiar taste.
As I stood still, Edea opened her mouth.
“The class president knows about the school rules, right? Bringing animals into Saitan is forbidden.”
“Ah, it was.”
Only then did I realize why Edea was questioning me.
Bringing animals from outside Saitan into the interior was strictly forbidden.
Thanks to that rule, I also noticed that the plain-looking progenitor is the intelligence falcon that Ares keeps.
Because no living beings other than cadets and instructors existed on Saitan.
for a moment.
That’s the story… … .
“Are we supposed to get him out of Saitan?”
Saitan is wary of the tricks of the human world and makes no living beings except for the cadets and instructors.
The reason that solitude has been possible in Saitan so far is because it was not a living being.
However, since he consumed the homunculus and became a living being, it was right to be exiled outside of Saitan.
The problem is that if that happens, a signal will go to Crete immediately.
If that happens, I can’t survive.

Not only can I not shake off Crete’s witchcraft with my own strength yet, but the modifier ‘Baares’ escort’ that was protecting me will fall off.
As I was thinking about this, Edea shook her head.
“No, you don’t have to. There is only one way.”
“How do you mean?”
“Yes, to be recognized as a familiar.”
If it’s a workhorse.
Like the progenitor raised by Ares, it meant a beast recognized as a possession.
Among Saitan’s cadets, there must be those who have the talent for familiars.
However, there is one reason why the cadets’ familiars were not seen in Saitan.
‘Because it’s difficult to meet the criteria to be recognized as a familiar.’
Also, classes on familiar horses are not conducted in the first year course.
Maybe it will be done when I’m in high school.
Or teach them before ‘war’ happens.
Therefore, it was also a favor that Edea brought up such a story in a situation where it was almost impossible to be recognized as a familiar.
I asked Edea.
“I understand that in order to be recognized as a Familiar, you must pass a suitable test.”
“that’s right. I have an exam in about a month, so do you really have to come? I’ll tell you the exact date again. If you don’t come, will you be expelled?”
“… … All right.”
I nodded toward Edea, who was threatening in a friendly tone.
when I was about to leave.
Realizing that there was one thing he hadn’t said, he took out the Sijo from his bosom.
― Beep… … .
The boy seemed to be sleepy.
I said to Edea while gently stroking Shijo.
“It was a bird near my dormitory, but it happened to be tamed. He also has excellent abilities, so he wants to be recognized as a familiar, but can more than one beast be recognized as a familiar?”
“… … It works.”
Edea stared at Shijo and dragged the horse away.
He probably noticed that the founder belonged to Ares.
However, I was hesitant because I couldn’t bring myself to say that Ares had been spying on me.
Also, you will know.
That I had already noticed the identity of Sijo.
Therefore, Edea could not retrieve the Sijo from me.
So I decided to let people know that I had Shijo.
In addition, there will be a scene with the progenitor on the Enzer Flower Insignia, so even if you hide it, the pod will be caught soon.
‘It seems that Ares also implicitly allowed me to raise the progenitor.’
If they had tried to retrieve the Sijo, they would have taken it right away.
However, Ares didn’t say anything about the progenitor even when he was alone with me in front of the medical room.
This is probably because Ares decided that it would be better for me to keep the founder.
for convenient monitoring.
Edea also opened her mouth, probably noticing Ares’ intentions.
“It will be possible. If it’s a special bird, it’ll be useful for the class president’s activities.”
At that, I smiled.
Maybe Samuel would be very happy.
Because he seemed to have a lot of affection for Shijo.
― Beep?
Seeing my laughter, Shijo tilted his head as if he didn’t know why.
