A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 460



459 – Birds and Mice (4)

Sometimes I wonder. What process does Luna’s snout go through?

Many people make the mistake of talking without specifying the subject or object, but Luna does it especially often.

I felt like I was going around and around in circles and getting lost. I couldn’t figure it out.

It’s so heartwarming that I want to open the lid and see what’s inside.

Luna’s way of speaking is not infuriating, but she has a knack for confusing people.

“Shivar.”

“why?”

“Be nice to Yeonju. Okay?”

“··· ···”

Even if you mix your own delusions into this? It’s enough to drive people crazy.

I don’t know what the hell he was thinking, but he looked at me with sad eyes. He even patted me on the shoulder.

I wanted to protest in some way because I was so embarrassed, but I couldn’t. I didn’t know what this woman was thinking.

I wonder if he really knew Lee Yeon-ju’s situation and was offering comfort, or if he was making an illusion that even I couldn’t fathom.

Looking at the situation so far, it’s closer to the latter, but that guy’s way of speaking is confusing people.

‘If I ask what you know, I think I’ll only get strange answers.’

Luna is definitely not stupid. She’s definitely smart, but she just doesn’t use her brain.

At least in Soul World, that’s how it was. At least, if you have ‘certain information’, you know how to use it well.

The problem is that the certain information is ambiguous or distorted in some other way. The moment you make a mistake, you are ruined.

“So when are you going to reveal it?”

“······What?”

“Not yet, I guess. Judging from the way you pretend not to know.”

It’s not that you’re pretending not to know, you really don’t know, you woman. You’re making another strange mistake by yourself.

I’m having a hard time deciding whether I should like this or hate it. This ambiguity is why I can’t easily come forward.

“Tell me when you’re done. I’ll keep quiet in the meantime.”

“······thank you.”

“What are you thankful for? This is all for our benefit.”

No, that’s not what I mean.

He said he was grateful that I wouldn’t stick my snout in strange places.

Please don’t go around and play with that mouth of yours. People will misunderstand you.

The words above rose to the tip of my tongue, but I barely managed to suppress them. I just laughed them off inside.

If Luna knew everything and said something like that, I would have spit it out. But this is a different situation.

I don’t know what it is, but she’s having some weird delusions. That’s why she’s saying things like that.

I was hesitant to step forward because I couldn’t figure out what the illusion was.

“Then I’ll be going now. Oh. You just came out of the tea house, right?”

“huh.”

“Should I try some oriental tea? Which one tastes the best? If possible, recommend something sweet.”

I answered without any hesitation.

“green tea.”

At least by my standards, it’s sweet, so I’m happy to recommend it. I’m not sure about Luna’s taste, though.

Luna left me a thank you note and went into the tea house. I started walking as soon as she entered.

‘What on earth is Luna?’

I only know that he is a descendant of a warrior, but I don’t know anything more than that.

If you really think that snout was inherited from the warrior, there’s something awkward about that.

The warrior only shows aspects of a sociopath, but at least he doesn’t use the same speaking style as Luna.

Rather, Luna’s way of speaking is so good that even the warrior is dumbfounded. It’s something I sometimes wonder about.

‘You’ll find out as the story progresses.’

Maybe you really do have a headache. That would be a shame in its own way.

‘By the way, are you coming for lunch tomorrow?’

Lee Yeon-ju, who left almost as if she was running away. As I said before, she is a bit mentally weak.

You could say it’s a typical style of being strong on the outside but soft on the inside. My sister, Lee Yeon-hwa is a comparison to someone who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside.

I will come out tomorrow as promised, but I doubt I will be able to properly carry out the plan.

‘You just have to go home.’

It’ll be okay.

*****

Time passed and it was lunchtime the next day.

Fortunately, Lee Yeon-ju kept her promise, although her mental state was slightly shaken.

“Hey. What the hell is that kid doing? You didn’t say anything knowing everything, did you?”

“You little brat. That’s harsh.”

“Then what do you say?”

“Just say it’s a year.”

“It’s even worse in the East.”

But there had to be a lot to talk about Luna. She must have been in agony all day yesterday.

First of all, let me say this: Luna doesn’t know anything. I told Dan Ye-rin just in case, and she laughed.

The point is that Dan Ye-rin didn’t tell us in detail. However, she said that it would be of great help to us.

“Helpful? Is that really true? If it’s the princess who said it, I can trust it······”

“I have to believe you. Are you trying to turn Luna into your enemy?”

“I feel like things that are already difficult will become even more difficult because of him.”

From noble mtl dot com

“hmm.”

That’s a relatable story. It’s something I’m worried about too.

But the Touhou episode is a huge episode comparable to the collapse of the Academy.

While the Tatar branch is clear, the Eastern episode has an uncertain branch, and you never know when or where something will explode.

Even the originally confirmed assassination of the crown prince has disappeared, so it must be a headache.

“Luna should be considered a trump card. In Western terms, should we call her a joker?”

“I think he’s the Joker for us too.”

“··· ···”

Lee Yeon-ju blinked at the undeniable story. Then she even slowly avoided my gaze.

Luna is a perfect fit for the Joker. No one knows what will happen.

Tatarstan, being a country full of romance and where military power was important, did not stand out.

However, since the East has to use its head as well, it is essential for it to be active as a joker.

“······Anyway! You just have to make sure that the situation doesn’t require the Joker. Your role is important for that.”

“huh.”

“No, Sister, Lee Yeon-hwa will be leaving on a business trip this evening. Therefore, the operation start date is at dawn.”

“What about the security spell? Shouldn’t it be nullified?”

“No need. If you go in through the door confidently, it won’t ring.”

As expected from a thief, he seems to have a talent for picking keys.

At the same time, it was a pity. If the country had not been taken away, she would have grown up as an ordinary noble girl.

The appearance of working hard for the country regardless of social status. He is fully qualified to be a patriot.

‘Except for the short temper.’

Let’s skip these useless thoughts and talk about something important. The deal I had with Lee Yeon-ju before.

She said that if he helped her, she would tell him in return who had sent the letter from the East.

Since I was curious about this at the time, I asked a question right away.

“Now it’s my turn. Who sent the letter?”

“Who do you think it is?”

“Prince?”

“Huh? How did you know?”

Lee Yeon-ju opened her eyes wide in surprise. She just tried it once, but was it real?

However, apart from the fact that the sender of the letter was the crown prince, the reason is completely unknown.

In particular, the prince has nothing to be sorry about since he has won over two of the generals.

“I took a picture. But is it true?”

“Yes. It is the letter the Crown Prince sent. I have information that someone in the palace received your letter.”

“Are there spies in the palace?”

“That’s right. We’re in the heart of the enemy. You idiots.”

That guy is probably your sister’s subordinate. He probably put it there himself.

Since it was a very confidential matter, it would not have been revealed to Lee Yeon-ju.

“But why the prince?”

“I don’t know much about that, but… maybe it’s to test you out? After all, I know you’re allied with the princess.”

“I don’t think it will have much effect.”

“I don’t know about that. The prince is crazy. He’s a man who would gladly execute even his own brothers and sisters if they are a threat to him.”

What that means is that they might send an assassin to kill me.

But so far, there has been no sign of that. It could be that I am not sleeping in the first place.

‘You’re not going to approach other people, are you?’

In that case, I can’t help but be a little worried. Especially with Ellie, who is weak in combat.

Cheonma said that the aura of death is constantly hovering around Ellie.

He said that although he should have died normally, he was kept alive for some reason.

“Be careful. Even if it’s not you, you never know what they might do to lure you in. You might even be warned to stay out of this.”

“Then we have to destroy them all.”

“Phew. That wouldn’t be so bad.”

“Or there is a way.”

“What method?”

I took a sip of my tea and answered in a calm voice.

“Lize.”

“Lize? Your Majesty?”

“Yeah. Just ask.”

“Let’s rule that out. I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.”

Even the stubborn Yeonju Lee seems to respect Lize. Judging from the way she is so polite.

Since there were still no signs, the conclusion was to wait and see.

“I’ll come to your house at 2:00 AM today. Just follow me then. Okay?”

“huh.”

Now it’s time to go find the rat.

*****

Meanwhile, at that time, in the forest of chaos.

As the vacation began, more students began to visit the forest, but no problems were observed with the ecosystem.

Rather, the ecosystem was more active as students dealt with several beasts and monsters.

But was it peaceful? That couldn’t be further from the truth.

“Cough······ Cough······”

A person who was struck by lightning and burned black.

Thanks to the proper tanning, the clothes that were originally black turned even blacker.

Moreover, their clothes were torn and they looked very unsightly. Why did they end up like this?

“Crack. Crack.”

“Yeah. Good job.”

Porori praised the cute and adorable squirrel’s sound.

The squirrel laughed heartily at the compliment and then walked away with his characteristically hurried steps.

Meanwhile, Porori clicked her tongue as she watched the black man writhing around without taking any action.

“It seems like there are a lot of guys after the owner these days······”

Porori mutters while crossing his arms like a human.

He turned his head, looked towards the academy, and muttered softly.

“Should I go find that guy and find out what’s going on?”
