Episode 233
60. Doubt(4)
“… … Theodore!?”
“Let’s put the story aside, let’s get away for now!”
Theodore grabbed Yura’s wrist and ran quickly into the woods.
Then, as if waiting, all kinds of monsters came out from behind and chased after them.
Even if she had managed to defeat the tarantula, it was clear that she would have been in great danger if she had been alone.
“shit!!”
“Kiaak!!”
Theodore’s sword cut through the body of the jumping spider.
The essence of Arthur’s swordsmanship inherited from Irkan Bradamante.
Although he was only a freshman, the blow was never considered a freshman.
The tarantula, which had rushed forward with great force, spilled an unpleasant liquid and fell to the floor.
“The whole area is aiming for Seonghwa Woman candidate. Did you do anything?”
“Poetry, I used a little divine power… … .”
“I think it’s because it’s an area with a lot of magical power, so it seems to be sensitive to divine power!”
Theodore and Yura Esther ran non-stop.
Yura felt goosebumps all over her body because the entire forest was rumbling with the cries of all kinds of monsters.
But in times like these, you have to be more careful.
“Theodore! over there, over there!! It’s over there!!”
As the search barrier has not been lifted, Yura Esther can grasp the location of approaching monsters in real time.
That’s why he quickly draws out the optimal route and leads Theodore there.
After repeating the process a few times, the two of them had reached the border of the forest.
A glimpse of the outer wall of Paradise Island.
It was a defensive wall built to prevent the invasion of monsters inhabiting the southern forest.
“Pooh… … Whoa-“
“haha.”
The two breathed heavily. As the strength of the body that had been shuddering is gone, the tension is released.
“Whoa, where are you, Yura?”
“I am fine. How about Theodore?”
“as you see.”
Theodore raised his arm and tried to shrug. Then Yura’s hand goes up.
“oh.”
“uh… … ?”
Because she was holding Theodore’s hand.
I didn’t know when it was.
The moment he realized that, Theodore’s face hardened.
Yura quickly turned her gaze and pulled out her hand.
“that… … he, he! thank you!”
“Oh, no. I haven’t even entered the safe zone yet. Keep moving.”
There was a strange atmosphere, though.
Theodore took the lead, pretending to be innocent.
As far as the most dangerous forest had been escaped, it was not difficult to return to the school district.
Finally, just like when you sneak in, you jump over the wall.
They were completely relieved.
It’s been a long time since the hordes of monsters stopped chasing.
At least there were gremlins with flying abilities that were flapping around from the other side, but they couldn’t approach it and turned around due to the anti-horse barrier surrounding the fortress wall.
lived
Recognizing that fact, Esther Yura sat down in her seat.
* * *
“So… … Are you saying that Baek San-woo is colluding with the demons and plotting to do something with Azethos beyond that?”
“yes!! That’s it!!”
This is the manor dormitory on Nakwon Island and the building where Esther, the Seonghwa woman candidate Yura, is staying.
Theodore was sitting on the sofa in her room with a serious expression on her face.
Immediately after coming out of the forest, Yura Esther could not stand up because her strength was completely exhausted.
That said, I didn’t know if I would be caught by the guards and given a penalty if I waited around the fortress wall.
He was carrying Yura Esther and taking her to her dorm.
Anyway, I received a lot of help in many ways, so I couldn’t refuse her offer to serve tea in the room for a while.
The words Yura spit out were shocking.
Baeksanwoo is colluding with demons.
Theodore recalled the image of the Baeksan-woo he had seen in the abyss of Hisperiiff just a few hours ago.
The appearance of breaking in with a blue lightning and wiping out the monsters.
By simply following his movements with his eyes, Theodore was able to realize without filtration that he was a very powerful man.
The words of Dean Irkhan Bradamante were no exaggeration.
And I heard that he did an excellent job in the ancient Artel expedition as well as the last time.
Even though it was not officially announced, it was the content of the testimony of Theodore’s acquaintances who had fought together on board the ship.
He is praised by some as a greater man than Aidan Christopher.
For what reason did you have a collusion with the demons all of a sudden?
“I don’t know that either.”
“No, then it’s not just a heart attack. Didn’t Seonghwa-nyeo misunderstand the samurai for a demon?”
Among the wizards, there are those who occasionally use ‘summoning magic’ as their main force.
They are neither demons nor humans, but beings of a completely different world, often misunderstood as demons.
For this reason, it was not long after summoning magic itself was legalized throughout the continent.

Maybe Yura did too.Upon hearing this, Esther Yura screamed and screamed.
“Theodore! Do I look like someone who doesn’t have that much judgment!?”
“Isn’t it true that there are cases in which some priests in the temple have set out to subdue the samurai as demons?”
“Ugh… … .”
Theodore’s sharp remarks flew in.
It was.
There was still a discussion inside the temple about whether summoning magic should be recognized as an official magic branch or not.
However, the people Yura saw from the abyss were never ‘something’.
“I’ll bet on the status of the Seonghwa Woman candidate. They were dreamers.”
“nightmare… … .”
Theodore swallowed his saliva.
Among the high-ranking demons, they are considered to be quite difficult to deal with.
“Even if so, what the hell is it for?”
country overthrow? The Demon King’s Resurrection? Or the destruction of Paradise Island?
There are not many things that humans can do by colluding with demons.
Excluding such grand purposes, in the end, it would have been to receive power or authority through a contract with the demons.
What is the reason that the spirit magician who signed a contract with the 4th Star Thunder Spirit and Lioner made a contract with the Asmodians?
And the Lioner wouldn’t even look at it.
“I doubt that too. I can’t really guess how or why Baek San-woo is with the demons.”
It was difficult to see that the actions Baek Sanwoo had shown so far were on the side of the demons.
Theodore is no less than his father, who is currently in office in terms of political power.
As soon as he heard the name Baek Sanwoo from Dean Irkan, he immediately started collecting all the information about him.
Civil servants, academic staff, and even seniors on Paradise Island.
Baek San-woo’s whereabouts were known not only through documents but sometimes through rumors.
To be honest, it was almost heroic.
Rescue the current owner of the firefighting style from the Hisperiif dungeon.
In the dungeon where the boss was abnormal, he saved a number of Artels and subdue the boss in question.
Is that all?
Although it was just a rumor of unknown credibility… … One day, I heard that he infiltrated Paradise Island and even destroyed a cult that was trying to revive Thanatos.
How can this be said to be the behavior of a person colluding with the demons?
“But if you have such doubts, shouldn’t you just formally request an investigation from the Canaanite temple? Hopefully the temple won’t ignore Yura-sama’s request… … .”
“That is too dangerous for now.”
“why?”
“Baeksanwoo, that person is deeply connected to the inside of the temple now.”
Theodore shook her head as if in disbelief at Yura’s words.
“I’m not even a priest, but if it’s related to a temple, isn’t it? I am also a devout believer of the light from generation to generation, so am I also involved in the temple?”
“that! That’s not the problem! I can’t tell you right now, but it’s a lot more complicated!”
“Ugh… … .”
Theodore groaned. At least Yura Esther wasn’t joking.
Candidates for Seonghwa Girl.
Her power is certain. It was at a level that could only be said to have been chosen by the God of Light.
Have you not witnessed the intensity of that power right in front of your eyes?
‘If Yura Esther, who is no one else, was suspicious like that, there must be something.’
Theodore is a seasoned politician before being a great warrior.
It is the best virtue a politician should have to quickly grasp the flow of the world and bring the flow to his or her advantage.
“… … .”
A man named Baek San Woo had already clearly caught Theodore’s sight.
Regardless of his achievements or skills, the influence he exerted on Paradise Island was never negligible.
It is not enough that it has already been held or whether it is a trans-faculty competition.
Isn’t it projecting influence little by little beyond the bachelor’s degree and into the private business community?
One way or another, he is a person who has no choice but to be deeply associated with Theodore.
Wouldn’t it be better in many ways to thoroughly hold on to your weaknesses if you are not going to take them to your side?
“Theodore, trust me just once.”
In addition, the Seonghwa Woman candidate is asking for something like that.
‘After all, do I have the initiative?’
She decided that she could not borrow the power of the temple to investigate the allegations about the Baeksan-woo.
At this point, Yura Esther has lost the greatest power attached to her status.
So, you’re appealing to yourself to help out like this.
Theodore’s head began to spin rapidly.
A golden opportunity to seize the weakness of a senior who is treated as a hot potato on Paradise Island.
Not only that, but it was also a surefire debt to the Seonghwa Woman candidate.
As a politician, it is a proposal that cannot be rejected only if it is to be rejected.
Theodore, who finished the calculation in an instant, nodded and said.
“All right.”
“really!?”
“Yes, if no one else and Yura-sama would say something like this… … I am personally curious.”
“Thank you, Theodore!!”
Yura smiled broadly and grabbed Theodore’s hand.
“If it’s the two of us! I’m sure you’ll be able to uncover what’s hidden behind that sincere looking mask!!”
“It’s best to have nothing, but… … If it’s really a conspiracy, it should be blocked in advance.”
A small doubt of Yura Esther.
The fire that started there was getting bigger and bigger.

“Ah, tickle your ears.”
I scratched the inside of the ear that was strangely annoying from a while ago without remorse.
Why are you so itchy today?
Is George’s kid talking behind my back?
“Come on, if it tickles you… … I can have the succubus do the ear cleaning myself… … .”
Nabe, who was watching the scene, spoke harshly.
“Uh-huh, that’s too ecchi. no.”
Succubus ear cleaning.
It feels like the title of an ASMR video that has about 400,000 views on you tube.
it’s dangerous it’s dangerous
And, in fact, the dozens of dreamers living in the Dream Garden, I did not have complete control over.
Except for Nabe, Amodea, and the general secretary, Morak.
Everything else was under Nabe’s control, not mine.
It’s a story that a naughty succubus can suck my spirits while I’m unattended by the cool ear cleaning service.
‘Absolutely not. And if they get caught, I think Camila and Illyana will rush to kill them.’
However, these two have become incredibly strong lately.
Camila’s communion with Jorgan increased day by day, and she came to a point where she was almost completely alone.
Illyana was able to use some of the power of the creator god Sephiroth.
Those two people were particularly at odds with Amodea and other succubus.
In the meantime, if it became known that I had been cleaned by a succubus… … .
It didn’t seem like it could go on smoothly.
“But Master, what happened to you suddenly in your dream?”
“Ah, it’s nothing. Is the first floor of Dongsan completely neglected?”
“yes… … Even after the last subjugation, no new hierarchy managers were hired. The same goes for other floors.”
“Good.”
I flicked my fingers and added.
“It would be perfect if Hive Mind moved in here, right?”
