56 – Omen

“Whoa… .”

After Mephisto left, I unknowingly sat down on the floor of the gymnasium.

At the same time as the tension was released, it felt like the remaining power of Ishtar was draining away.

“Ugh.”

Now I feel the pain in my side.

The trauma was healed by Elaine, but it seemed that the body was still remembering.

“Count!”

As I sat down and massaged my side, Elaine, Reina, and Bella approached me.

“Gwa, are you okay? Where did you get hurt-“

“No, there is nothing wrong with it. I’m just tired.”

“… .”

“Do you have anything to say? Raina.”

“You were the one who blocked Mephisto’s magic a while ago, right?”

“What is it?”

Although it is Ishtar.

Reina’s words helped Bella, who was next to her.

“It didn’t seem like ordinary magic.”

“It could be magic.”

“Student Lian seems to know magic better than me.”

“There are many facts that have yet to be revealed in the world.”

Bella’s eyes narrowed at my words.

It was a big emotional expression for Bella, who doesn’t usually show a change in expression.

Then, a thought struck me and I asked Bella.

“Come to think of it, did you cast an invisibility spell on Siegfried?”

“I tried it just in case, and it worked well. Siegfried’s movement was good.”

“no. It was only possible because of Instructor Bella’s magic. hahahaha!”

Siegfried approached with a friendly smile.

It’s a joke, but it’s like it’s already proven that you have skills from receiving the invisibility magic and catching Mephisto’s back.

No matter how careless Mephisto was, he would have been caught if he approached clumsily.

He’s not a guy who’s in a good mood, but he’s probably the main character even if he dies soon.

“By the way, demons appearing, what the hell is going on… .”

“Student Lian.”

“Yes?”

Bella bent her knees and met her gaze.

“When Mephisto appeared just before, I moved first than anyone else.”

“Yes, what.”

“The response was very quick.”

Is it my imagination that Bella’s eyes looking at me seem warmer than before?

“If it wasn’t for Lian, I wouldn’t have noticed. Even if they had noticed, it would have been after the lives of the students were in danger. Good job.”

“uh… Well.”

“Maybe I accepted the wrong facts about student Lian.”

According to Altane’s usual rumors, it would have been a situation where he could have been suspicious of the first reaction.

“No, that’s right! I didn’t know what you were talking about at first, but… The Count must have had an idea!”

Elaine, who now blindly trusts me,

“… I still live because of you.”

Even Reina, who seems to admit it to some extent.

“right. Seeing him throw himself to the point of being injured made my blood boil.”

that guy is done

Still, I tried to twist the original story somehow, but I think I gained the trust of the other guys a little bit because of this.

‘Not bad.’

It wasn’t intentional, but it’s a good sign that you’re gaining trust little by little. Because I won’t be able to get through it alone forever.

Other guys must have seen me confronting Mephisto, so wouldn’t the way they see me change a bit in the future?

When I was quiet in the gymnasium, the students outside started snooping in little by little.

“Instructor!”

“What the hell was that?”

“Asmodians… It definitely looked like a demon… .”

Everyone makes a fuss and gathers around Bella.

Bella told me calmly as she bit the students.

“Student Lian will be tired, so please go in. I’m going to report to the school principal. Would you like an Iceteen student to follow?”

“You mean that?”

“Still, I think I need the words of a student who was there. Siegfried, please stay and explain to the other instructors.”

“All right.”

“Student Elaine—”

“I-I take care of the count… .”

“Are you not particularly hurt?”

“… .”

Elaine bites her lips tightly and puts on a dissatisfied expression.

No, is everything really good?

Even though she’s a saint, isn’t she too devoted?

“Count!”

“Uh, yes.”

“… Ugh!”

Even stamping your feet.

“Anyway, let’s do that and we’ll go to the principal’s office.”

“School principal… .”

“I am not that frightened. I’m sure I could get along well with the Iceteen students.”

Raina followed Bella, but turned around halfway through and looked at me.

Are you looking at Elaine?

“You seem to have gotten pretty close.”

“Yes?”

“It’s Reina. It seems to care about you quite a bit.”

“Is that so… ?”

“Other than that, there’s no way I’d look back like that.”

I’ve been resting for a while, so let’s go back now.

We passed the big event well, so let’s take a break for the time being and think about what’s to come.

Ignoring the crowd of students around me, I stood up and asked Elaine.

“Let’s go back, Elaine.”

Originally, I was going to lie down for a while, but I don’t think I can because the gazes are so burdensome.

I left the gymnasium and headed for the dormitory.

Throughout the academy grounds, I saw people wearing clothes I hadn’t seen before, as well as some knights wearing glossy heavy armor.

“As expected, Mephisto… Is it because?”

“I guess so. It’s because the Mine that appeared for the first time in decades appeared in the capital of the Empire, not in the outskirts.”

“How did you come here… .”

“It is transfer magic. It’s a magic used when you need to move between regions, but if you’re good at magic, it won’t be a task to increase that distance.”

“But didn’t you say that the demons were expelled from the Central Continent?”

“right. That’s why these people came. Because an existence that shouldn’t come has appeared.”

After losing a long battle, most of the demons were pushed back to the East Continent.

At that time, with the power of the spirit Mercia, a strong barrier was created in the central continent to block the access of demons, and it was called the storm wall.

Since then, with the grace of Mercia, humans have been given mana, which has been used to maintain the storm wall.

As long as the mana in the central continent doesn’t dry up, there’s no way the storm wall will disappear.

That’s why there is no way for the expelled demons to come here unless they teleport.

yes. Teleportation.

‘Did they say they transferred with the help of demons?’

Normally, it would be necessary to draw the coordinates of that point on the magic circle in order to transfer.

However, how could the demons who couldn’t even access this place accurately find out the coordinates of the academy?

Later, there is another similar incident, but at that time, Altein joins hands with the demons and takes on the role of a bridge that tells the coordinates.

In the case of Mephisto, a demonic spy within the empire informed him of this, but he will die on his own, so you don’t have to worry about it.

Because he’s like a common extra in games.

Upon arriving at the dormitory, as expected, the lobby was teeming with students.

Gathering together, they are hesitantly talking about the identity of Mephisto who appeared a while ago and the midterm evaluation.

“Go and get some rest, Elaine.”

“Yes? yet… .”

“Anyway, the evaluations and classes won’t run properly for the time being, so take a break when you can.”

Sooner or later, midterm evaluations will be canceled and classes will be suspended.

That’s because the existence of Mine was a major event.

When I stand in front of the elevator going up to the upper floor, Elaine stands right behind me.

I pointed to the elevator next to Elaine and said.

“The F class is this way. Elaine.”

“… I know.”

Elaine’s face looked dissatisfied as she answered with a puzzled expression.

Round Elaine makes her thick eyebrows into the shape of an eight.

He just looks more cute than angry.

It feels like watching your dog barking.

I pondered why Elaine was doing this.

―Well, I’m taking care of the Count.

… no way.

“Are you really trying to nurse?”

“… Mo, I don’t know.”

“There are no injuries anywhere, so-”

go back-

I couldn’t say anything behind it.

It was because Elaine’s expression was slowly collapsing when I tried to open my mouth.

Her face was full of despair, as if she was hearing words she shouldn’t have heard.

What the hell is nursing so obsessed with?

If I send it like this, I think it will follow until the end… .

‘I’ll have to wait and let it go.’

“… Let me stay for a while.”

“Wow!— Oh, no, I see!”

I pushed the elevator button with Elaine, who was stomping excitedly.

I’m already worried.

*

fuck.

“Elain.”

“… Yes.”

I touched the collar of Elaine, who was sleeping on my bed.

Elaine, a 17-year-old girl sleeping secretly in a private dormitory, was sleeping with her stomach covered as if it were her own room.

This situation made me laugh out loud.

What happened?

They say that it will definitely loosen up the muscles in the injured area and give a massage on my back.

Suddenly, I look around my room and clean it.

Wouldn’t you like to cook for me?

After doing all the things a lover would do, he took a shower and came back to sleep alone.

‘Isn’t that too defenseless?’

Her white belly was uncovered and part of her navy blue skirt was turned inside out.

It’s sublime to see.

I took off Elaine’s uniform top and covered her with the blanket next to her.

It would be a really big situation if it was Altane instead of me.

If it had been Raina or Bella instead of Elaine, I wouldn’t have known, but at least I’m not a sex freak enough to touch a child who hasn’t reached adulthood.

But I want to touch you strangely.

Without realizing it, I pressed my finger on Elaine’s convex cheek.

A soft touch felt like touching freshly baked bread through your fingers.

“Ugh… .”

You frown as if you’re having a nightmare.

Are you reminiscing about the past, or-

“after.”

Anyway, I succeeded in passing Mephisto’s attack unscathed.

The next big event will probably be an outside practice.

Until then, there will be no major incidents.

I took the chair next to me and sat down near Elaine’s head.

Looking at Elaine’s face, who is soundly asleep, it feels like peace is coming to my heart.

The saintess was a saintess.

Even the way you sleep gives healing to others.

‘Is Allegri next?’

One major incident passed, so I’ll have to finish the rest.

wait old man

Fidgeting with Elaine’s hair, I retraced my future steps.
