141. standard
…clearly there was something.
contract. You said it was a contract.
Who did you do that with?
Judging from the conversation between the principal and Luke, it seemed that there was definitely some friction between the humans and Luke, and that the contract was probably made with them.
The important thing was, if that was the case, what kind of cards did humans have to hold such a monstrous person here?
Even though he couldn’t defeat the demon king because he wasn’t a warrior, there would be no one like him when it came to dealing with the rest of the demons other than the demon king.
It was already 1000 years ago that the demon lord was defeated.
If he maintains his skills or trains more than that, he is sure to be the strongest…
I continued to roll my head and arrived at the dormitory again. As soon as I arrived on the 6th floor, I was able to find two people with familiar voices.
“No! So you go in first?”
“uuu
Natasha and Arin.
The two of them stood in front of Seria’s door, with expressions that couldn’t do anything about it.
“What are you doing. You guys.”
When I asked them, the two of them pounced on me like wild beasts finding a desirable prey.
“Sirius! Nice to meet you!”
“Wow! That’s amazing timing!”
“What… what is it. Why are you doing this?”
The two began to explain their brilliant plans to me.
“Hmmm…! That’s why, if you help us a little, I’ll try to recommend that you take the hero especially as a porter.”
…I’m better at magic than you, so I’m going to be a porter for the hero’s party.
Of course, I was in a position where I had to refuse even if Seria suggested it, but I couldn’t help but laugh at Arin’s words.
“I… I’ll write you a special letter of recommendation too.”
I guess you just can’t It’s Natasha.
There was no way Seria would take the guy carrying a bundle of dolls to the battlefield if he was sane.
“So I know it’s such a great plan, but then you can do it yourself. Why do you need my help?”
“That’s what I mean.”
Natasha hesitated.
Arin put on a grieved expression for a moment, then placed a hand on her meager chest and shouted at me.
“I thought the hero seemed a bit chilly, so I was wondering if he would like it if we went in.”
aha. So I want to go into Seria’s room and have time to flatter her, but I’m afraid it will backfire.
That’s what you mean.
“Well… I still can’t admit it, but the hero likes you quite a bit.”
If it wasn’t for the rhetoric attached to the front, I thought I’d help you open the door.
As expected, Arin, who has pink hair, was always cheeky and had nothing to say.
Although I was confused after meeting Luke, I decided to accept their offer, thinking that it would be better to check Seria’s condition periodically.
smart smart
“who are you.”
“It’s me. Seria.”
profit.
The door opened and Seria appeared.
Seria greeted us with a smile.
But it’s still an empty smile.
It wasn’t the same laugh as before. that one.
“Oh, if there are other guests besides you, you should have told them. Yuwol-ah.”
“No, it’s because we met by chance at the door and decided to go in together.”
“It’s as you said. Hero. I was going to knock on the door first, but that guy is bothering me saying that he misses the hero, right?”
hey. scale. you.
What should I do if I get hated in front of the door and ask if it’s okay for the guy who was stomping his feet to talk like that.
“Sit down. Everyone.”
At Seria’s words, we sat in a circle with the table in the middle.
“…because I’ve been away for so long, there’s only tea in the room. Is everyone okay?”
“If the hero gives it to me, I like anything~”
“Me too.”
You came with a lot of grease on your tongue.
When we heard the sound of boiling water in the kettle, Seria, who had served tea, asked us.
“So what’s your business?”
Uncharacteristic of her usual personality, Arin was opening her small mouth.
“Is there something wrong?”
After she didn’t say anything for a while, Seria tilted her head.
“Hero! Please tell me honestly!”
“If it’s something I can answer, I’ll do it.”
gulp.
Arin was obviously having a conversation, but the sound of Natasha’s saliva dripping could be heard from me sitting across from her.
“Yo… Hero-nim, have you decided on the final hero party member?”
To be honest, I was curious too, but it was a question I had never asked Seria directly.
If I asked, I would have answered, but I felt uncomfortable with the topic.
The ones Luna and I have to face after a few days of her anyway.
Because I decided it would be better not to ask.
“Ah. That’s why you’re here.”
Seria smiled brightly.
“Yes. Of course, there are members I have a crush on.”
Arin and Natasha were both extremely nervous at a glance.
“May I ask…?”
Arin looked into Seria’s eyes and tried to get lucky.
“He’s a strong man.”
Instead of mentioning specific members, Seria started talking about the conditions she thought of.
“The criteria for the selection of the people with whom I will take this last final exam will be based on strength.”
“I don’t need people holding me back because I’m weak.”
“The demons we need to annihilate are very strong, and the great demons have no mercy in their hands.”
The light of despair in Seria’s eyes flickered for a moment, then disappeared.
…This is probably the conclusion she reached through countless deaths.
It must have been something she had learned from the experience of having her limbs torn off.
“So… Then, who do you think is the strongest in our class right now?”
Natasha couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked Seria a question.
“Is it Luna?”
There was no hesitation in Seria’s words.
So clear and neat, Seria is the princess of the Demon Realm who will betray herself.
I called Luna’s name.
“Ha… But even the hero knows that Luna isn’t cheap!”
Arin seemed unhappy that his name was not being called.
“It’s better to have a good and incompetent party member die than a good and incompetent party member who dies.”
Seria seemed to have already set her own firm standard.
If it had been before entering the rift, I would never have said such a thing.

Knowing the circumstances, I couldn’t help but feel sick.
Arin looked like he was thinking about something, but he closed his eyes and asked Seria nakedly.
“Hero, am I among the members you are considering?”
Oh…
It was Arin who was sincere about joining the warrior party more than anyone else.
Luna and I prepared to stab her in the back.

Kairin and Raven, who followed only after Luke.
Zeke always laughs heartily without thinking about it.
Compared to these people, Arin always participated diligently in class and worked hard to please Seria.
To be honest, I don’t know about Natasha, but I thought that Arin had the right to ask Seria desperate questions like that.
“You’re persistent. Arin. I should have told you the standard.”
But Seria’s answer was callous.
“Arin. If you really want that position, you wouldn’t be here like this.”
“Go and get ready for your final exam.”
“Refine your skills and prove your strength. If I told you there was no name for Arin, would you just sit back and mess with it?”
Seria’s stinging cane mercilessly hit Arin’s mentality.
drooling.
Arin pushed the chair and stood up.
“I understand. Warrior.”
We couldn’t tell what kind of expression she was making as she lowered her head.
“Let’s go. Natasha. It seems pointless to be doing this here.”
“Huh? Me too?”
Natasha seemed to want to leave after something else, but in the end, she couldn’t win over Arin’s eyes and got up from her seat.
“You haven’t finished your tea yet.”
“Let’s go first.”
After that, Arin dragged Natasha’s wrist and headed for the front door.
thud.
The door closed and the two disappeared.
In Seria’s room, me and Seria. Only two remained.
Even though the two of them spurned their seats, Seria sipped her tea quietly without a slight movement on her face.
“Did you really have to say that?”
At first glance, Arin seemed hurt by Seria’s answer.
“Yuwol-ah. Do you really think Arin is a talented person who can join the hero’s party?”
“What do you mean? That’s it.”
“Don’t you know?”
Seria got up from her seat and slowly approached me.
“As long as you are there. Arin has no place in the warrior’s party?”
And I heard the words of concern spilling out of her mouth.
“I’ll let you know in advance. Luna and you. I’m considering the two of you as confirmed members of the hero’s party.”
You expected me, but you didn’t expect Luna, who was your nemesis?
…I was terribly afraid of the aftermath of what happened a few days later.
