Falling in Love at the Academy Means Death - Falling in Love at the Academy Means Death chapter 72

6:15.

The surroundings were slowly getting dark. After the parade, stalls were set up here and there along the road, and children were laughing as if they were chewing on snacks, reminiscent of a festival.

Ida sighed and said po-ho.

“Brother, I’ll go to the administrative unit and go through the formalities.”

“Don’t forget to get the key. Let’s meet at the library.”

“okay. go first See you later.”

Ida shook her pigtails and ran away. Before I set off, I checked the system log first.

[The main event ‘Assassinate the Princess’ has been cleared.]

[Reward Item: Gold]

[Reward: 1,500 gold]

[How to receive: Go to Adrine and collect the money.]

[Additional reward item: secret point]

[Additional reward content: 3 points]

The log that the event was cleared means that the assassins’ fighting spirit has been completely broken. Maybe Joan and Adrin did a good job.

And judging from the tumultuous bachelor atmosphere, it seems that the assassination attempt on Adrine was not publicized. This was also a good flow. This is because once you secure the identity of the assassin, you can monopolize the information he spits out.

Arguably, this is a real extra reward that doesn’t show up in the system logs. Information about the entrance leading directly to the ‘underground waterway’.

Of course, the aqueduct facility of the academy is literally the facility where the water here is treated. But at this point, the aqueduct also takes on a different meaning.

It is the battlefield of Kirov, the wizard who is the warden of the academy brothel and also the mid-boss of the game. One of her two magics is liquid handling, and the aqueduct is a place overflowing with such liquid.

And we don’t know anything about her second magic aptitude.

Because I am the original developer of this world, there are things that are possible. No matter what kind of magic it is or what kind of ability it is, if you know what it is, you can prepare for the most ideal solution. And the easiest way to prepare is to prepare items.

Just like the [Armor of Justice] in the form of a bow was prepared in preparation for the mercenary’s attack.

As if [Rainbow Potion Kit] was prepared in preparation for [Assassination of the Princess].

check my inventory

In this subspace dimension, the items I have acquired and kept are cataloged and remain.

[Equipment of Justice (Weapon)]

[Hidesolau’s Fang (Spoil)]

[Rainbow Potion Kit (Consumables)]

[First aid kit (consumables)]

[Dry food (consumables) (2 servings)]

[Heeyang grass (consumables) (15g)]

[Dog and Wolf Ring (Equipment)]

Considering the progress of the scenario, the composition is simpler than expected. The ‘First Aid Box’ and ‘Heeyang’s Grass’ were the items that he had in [First March], and the ‘Dog and Wolf Ring’ was an item that Johann Esperts had from the beginning.

And I still decide not to waste time. I have to quickly make the unknown into predictable, and put the characters I can use under my control.

Stories that have not been resolved still remain as inseparable points.

Gently touch my chest.

A bandage is tightly wrapped around the chest that was stabbed by the assassin, ‘Naf Nakisis’. Perhaps Joan or Adrinne would have done enough treatment for the poison, but the stab wound itself throbbed and complained of dull pain every time I walked.

I walked while thinking about various things to avoid the wound.

Walking out of the dormitory, I turn my eyes to the direction of living that I have been accustomed to for a while. A hill outside the academy, a blurry life leading towards the military hospital.

It belongs to Mubartrigger, the bastard of the Frodo family. It’s certain that there is a jackal at the end of the direction the killing spree is pointing, but what worries me more than that is that there is a woman with a face I know next to that jackal.

You should always be able to make a sober judgment.

Therefore, I first decided to regard her as a character named ‘Miri Inheritor’ rather than ‘Jeong Mi-ri’. After making that decision, the first question naturally comes to mind.

‘Here, what is the purpose of her staying here, at the academy?’

There is not enough prior information about her.

That he has the same face as ‘Jung Mi-ri’ and that he is a member of the family’s circus troupe.

Considering the way she responded to my kicks and the way she climbed the wall of the 12th floor dormitory, she might have the talent of a thief.

More than anything, she is the character level that Johann Espertz should have, [the main character].

If it hadn’t been for the [User’s Guide]’s warning, I would have tried to attack her first.

6:40.

I have arrived at my destination in no time. It wasn’t the library where Ida was supposed to meet. A two-story mansion with a yard filled with unmanicured lawns. Currently, the two main characters live there.

This is Bastia’s house.

I didn’t bother knocking.

There is a high probability that Arien, who can be said to be the main character of the ‘Wizard of the Year’ festival, and Bastia, the owner of this mansion, will not be here at this time.

Arien will go to the Wizard’s Tower to wrap up the banquet, and Bastia will stop by the temple on even-numbered days. They must be talking about warding off evil in the temple.

I opened the door and entered the mansion. As expected, it was not popular. And my business was with Bastia.

I pulled out a piece of paper and a pen from among his furniture filled with all sorts of sacred things. As I went to the dining table in the living room on the first floor, I thought about what to write the first sentence for, and then I remembered what Bastia had said to me. These were the words I heard on the day I was baptized on a harsh night.

‘John. I was trying to make you a man. But you have already become a man.’

This should also be called an advantage that I have because I am a ‘developer’. I know how to move Bastia.

After checking the ink on the pen, I wrote a short letter to him.

[I’m worried about the girl who made me a man. Please check on my behalf. I’ll take two more when I go out someday. -Johan Esperts-]

I, who even left my name, read what I had written. A bitter laugh came out. Of course, even if you are the swordsmanship teacher at the academy, it is impossible to meet a servant belonging to the academy without the owner’s permission.

However, the character Bastia has a unique characteristic. He is the only character who can react to an opponent who interferes with him for a legitimate reason by saying, ‘So, will you stop me?’

After thinking about it for a bit, I found another piece of paper and wrote ‘Complaint’. It was to give Bastia a stronger motive. The academy’s swordsmanship teacher traditionally takes on a role such as ‘student head’, and also checks the academy’s students and assistants’ attire.

I put the two letters I had written in plain sight and turned my back.

[Drinking with Bastia], a sub-event of [Bastia’s Shining Ceremony] that appeared at the beginning of the game.

This is also a prelude to forming a future party. I had prepared my own lineup for a long time, but it was a lineup that seemed like it would be a funny picture because of the subtly twisted flow of the scenario. I let out a small sigh and left the mansion without regret.

When I arrived at the library, Ida, who was wearing the armband of the ‘Graduate Director’, said while combing her hair.

“Where have you been? My brother told me to come here.”

“I was just watching the festival.”

“Is there much to see?”

“It was just like that. Did you get the key?”

“yes… . But did you scare me? I am completely responsible for what happened there… . Is there anything dangerous?”

I took the key she gave me. It was a rectangular key with the shape of the bookmark enlarged.

“What kind of key looks like that… . Are you going in now?”

No one else came to the library on this festive day, except for Ida and I. Ida whistled briefly, as if satisfied with that fact. I went to the place I had seen before.

A corner of the library.

The heavy-looking iron gate appeared. This door is the entrance to [Forbidden Book, Escomin].

An iron gate designed like the cover of a book. Where the title of the book should be, there is a nameplate that says ‘Academy Secret Library’, and in official documents, it is more widely used as the name ‘Forbidden Library’.

And as Ida said, even a library is a risky place.

Why is this place called the Golden Library?

The books here are not ordinary books.

I put the bookmark-shaped key Ida gave me into the end of the door. As Ida swallowed her saliva, I said quietly.

“Hey, don’t follow me.”

“yes. no.”

“It’s because it’s dangerous.”

“Then brother, don’t go either.”

“Listen.”

“No! Ah, since you went because of me, why am I again-?”

Ida collapsed before she could even finish her words. I cut her backside with the pommel of the [Equipment of Justice].

I picked up the girl who was about to be thrown on the floor and sat her down at a desk in the library. If Evangeles knew, it would be an act to break off relations, but anyway, there are only her and me here. I made her face down on the desk so she wouldn’t fall apart, and I searched her chest to find her student notebook and pen. And I just wrote ‘Sorry.’

I opened the door to the Golden Library where I had the key. As if the first page of a huge book had turned over, the iron door silently revealed its interior.

A room of 20 m * 20 m.

Hundreds of books were floating in the air filled with light sources of unknown origin. From a book the size of a notepad to a book the size of the gate of a tolerable mansion. The books came to me as if they were presenting themselves and tried to open up their titles and contents.

And I know the author without looking at the covers. These books are all written by one person. This is a library donated by Delparts, a mage of languages that once put the empire in danger.

After closing the door I came in, I quietly pushed the approaching books away with my hand. Among these many books, there is only one way to distinguish [Forbidden Book, Escomin].

Wizard, Delparts.

The reason why he had antipathy towards the empire at the time was because the empire was lukewarm about eradicating monsters in eastern Frantimo. And, befitting such a person, Delparts was extremely wary of the legacy he left behind being passed on to non-human beings.

And in this golden library, there is a detection magic to prevent this. And the hidden event starts from deliberately misunderstanding the detection magic.

Knowing this, I used the [Goblin Illusion] while holding the weapon of justice.

My silhouette was disorganized into two.

As if there was some clever mirror device somewhere, a figure that looked just like me stood next to me.

Then the system log popped up.

[Enter the hidden event, ‘Forbidden Book, Escomin’.]

Chuck- Chuck- Chuck- Chuck- Chuck-

Books whose pages had been opened toward me closed hastily. It was like a resistance that he could not convey his vision to the goblin.

Shasha Shot- Shashaak Shot-

The books flew and gathered on the other side of where I was standing. Of course I knew the shape they would create.

Chuck- Chuck- Chuck- Chuck- Chuck-

The gathered books were quietly piled up. As if each book were mechanical parts made to fit into each other from the beginning.

Chuck- Chuck- Chuck- Chuck- Chuck-

Eventually it took the form of a giant standing on two legs. The giant flapped the pages of a book attached to his head.

“Do-break-non-is-enemy-this-is-”

With the guy’s declaration, the system log indicated what I had to do.

[The ‘Golem of Language’ has defined you as an enemy.]

[Defeat the ‘Golem of Language’ and obtain ‘Forbidden Book, Escomin’.]
