How To Survive at the Demon Academy - How To Survive at the Demon Academy chapter 88
A man who moves stealthily.
In line with that, we quietly followed.
But soon, I had no choice but to miss the man’s trail.
A natural result.
In the first place, we have no information about this area.
But the opponent is a being who lives here.
It was difficult to pursue an opponent who moved freely between maze-like complex alleys.
“How do I do it? I think I missed it.”
“Okay.”
I called Sebastian.
‘Find him.’
<Okay.>
Sebastian’s built-in navigation mode.

Utilizing this, it was possible to find the trail no matter how complex the place was.
Sebastian uses his familiar like a drone and sprays it everywhere.
After a while, a map was created through the hologram.
<I think you can go like this.>
The route Sebastian tells you.
Even in the complex-looking darkness, the destination was accurately indicated.
“Follow me.”
I started moving with my group.
The map led us deeper and deeper.
But that’s for a while.
‘Is this correct?’
I wanted to ask Sebastian just in case.
<Exactly. There is no possibility of error.>
Sebastian’s confident words.
If so, then this map indicates the correct direction.
‘What… It’s unexpected.’
It is easy to think that it is usually located in a secret place if it is an information guild in the dark.
In fact, there were quite a few such cases.
However, what the map now indicates was the downtown area.
It’s a dark area where not many people go around, but it’s the only place that’s lively.
It was out of my expectation.
‘They told me to hide in the forest to hide a tree.’
Rather, it seemed that it would be more difficult to find if it was revealed like this.
Perhaps other students except me would have to spend a considerable amount of time to find this place.
“Where are you going?”
Erina also had an expression of incomprehension.
“Just follow me.”
“I believe in Kyler!”
“No, it’s not that I don’t believe it… .”
While moving along the map, he also did not forget to look around.
It was definitely a downtown area, so there were more people than before.
But avoiding us has not changed.
‘This is what. It feels like being treated as a monster.’
the place you arrived at.
“Are you here?”
“okay.”
A four-story building in front of you.
A sign saying Leaf Inn was welcoming us.
“Let’s go in first.”
kiik-
The grating sound of the old door hits your ears.
“welcome.”
A boy who looked to be in his early teens greeted us warmly.
“Are you here to stay overnight? Right now, one room is empty. Oh, it costs extra to even eat, is that okay?”
A child with a smile on his face.
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary employee.
‘how will we do it.’
Except for the pressure of force.
If it was going to happen that way, the professor wouldn’t have warned me.
‘Should I observe the situation first?’
Anyway, the fact that I came here must have been immediately communicated to the head of the guild.
There must have been a lot of snow on the way to this place.
It may be possible to approach it from the other side first, so it seems better to wait.
If there is no response, then think again.
“I will make accommodations. We also eat together.”
“All right. Then I will show you to your room.”
Then, an urgent voice came from the side.
“Now, wait a minute.”
“Why?”
“You mean you and I are sharing a room?”
“Are there any problems?”
“No, but how can the two of you share a room!”
Erina reacted violently.
It’s not that I don’t understand.
Anyway, men and women.
They weren’t special, and staying in the same room could have been awkward.
“Then what do you want to do? They say there is only one room left. If you’re thinking of going to another lodging by yourself, I won’t stop you.”
“It’s not… .”
“Nothing you worry about will happen.”
“W-what are you talking about! Alright, go up.”
Erina hurriedly leaves with a reddened face.
Seeing this, Jetty tilted her head.
“I think Erina has a fever. Your face is red.”
“What… I’m sure you’ll have a fever.”
I smiled and followed Erina.
“Okay, this is it.”
The room the waitress guided us to was quite spacious and tidy.
It is large enough to accommodate three or four people.
The Jetty took up very little space, so it seemed like I could spend a leisurely time.
“How should I eat? If you want, I can bring it to your room.”
“Please go to your room.”
“All right.”
I turned and handed a coin to the boy who was leaving.
“You take the rest.”
“Go, thank you.”
A child’s face brightened by an unexpected income.
“Then, rest in peace. I will come to you when the meal is ready.”
An employee carefully closes the door and leaves.
Seeing that, Erina opened her mouth.
“Then why did you give me so much money?”
“It was on purpose.”
“On purpose?”
“okay.”
It wasn’t just a tip.
The purpose is to let people know that we have a lot of money.
“Maybe they will react in some way.”
“Are you sure this is where the target is?”
“I’m not sure, but I think it might be related somehow.”
Erina stared blankly at my face.
“How amazing.”
“What do you mean?”
“There is not much age difference between me and I think he spent most of his time in the castle of demons… I think you have a lot of experience.”
Erina comes to a conclusion that is surprisingly close to the correct answer.
Of course, I had no intention of telling the truth.
“It’s a conclusion that anyone can infer if you know how to think a little.”
“Wow… Really unlucky.”
“The room is large, so you can rest over there.”
“Yes~ yes~”
After a while.
“The meal is ready.”
“Come in.”
Not the kid from earlier, but a middle-aged waitress who brought in a meal.
It looked like the food that I paid attention to whether it had the effect of giving a tip.
“Then have a good meal.”
As soon as the waiter left the room, Jetty jumped at the food with an excited face.
“Wow, I was hungry, but it turned out well.”
“Wait a minute.”
“what’s the matter?”
Instead of answering, I called Sebastian.
‘Try analyzing the food.’
<Okay.>
Sebastian’s conclusion after checking all the food.
<It contains poison.>
As expected, it was confirmed that they were playing with food.
‘Certainly, it’s not a typical inn. What kind of poison?’
<It is a simple type of sleeping pill. It doesn’t seem to be intended to harm the target.>
‘I guess so.’
If he was simply intending to take the money he had, he might have used extreme poison, but if he was aiming for more money, it would have been better to subdue him and interrogate him.
‘Is it possible that wiretapping or similar kind of magic was installed in the room?’
<No signs of magic were found in or around the room.>
Fortunately, the situation was only a prank on food.
It doesn’t seem like you need to be careful to have a conversation.
“Why are you doing that?”
“It looks like they were playing with the food.”
“yes?”
“Really?”
“okay. Jetty, use magic to decipher it first.”
“okay.”
Light green light emanated from Jetty’s body.
Light that naturally disappears after permeating food.
“It’s done!”
“Good job.”
“Did you do this for money?”
“I guess so. Well, it may have other purposes. What is certain is that you will find out if you wait.”
“Can I eat now?”
“okay.”
In order to avoid suspicion anyway, you had to show the food you ate.
It was detoxified, so there was no problem.
We emptied the food neatly and called the waiter.
“Is your meal okay?”
“not bad.”
“I’m glad you were satisfied.”
A waitress clearing empty dishes on the table.
I didn’t miss the smile on his lips.
“Then, rest in peace.”
After the employee leaves the room.
“What are you going to do now?”
“I’ll have to go along with their pranks first.”
I ate all the food with sleeping pills, so if you pretend to be asleep, it will move on its own.
“I see.”
“Jetti is fine.”
We naturally lay down on the bed.
After a while.
“The medicinal effect is also good.”
“It’s not like doing business for a day or two, of course.”
A waitress entered the room with two colleagues.
“What are you going to do?”
“I saw a lot of foreign guys. Will there be any problems?”
“Anyway, the villagers can’t make fun of themselves. Besides, these guys are the ones who walked into our inn on their own, so as long as you clean up properly, there should be no problem.”
They were pouring out information, thinking we had fallen asleep perfectly.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to deal with it here?”
“A secret warehouse would be nice. I have used it a few times.”
“great. Let’s go there.”
“where are you?”
“What are you talking about? Of course there… Huh!”
The trio took a step back as they saw Jetty smiling.
“What, what? Weren’t you asleep?”
“I don’t think medicine works on slime.”
“I do not care. Because only one slime can’t do anything.”
That’s not wrong.
If it’s a normal slime, that is.
Whoops.
Jetty’s magic instantly restrained their limbs.
“Eh, magic?”
“What crazy!”
“Call backup.”
The guys screamed momentarily, trying to announce their danger.
However.
“It’s no use, so don’t be noisy.”
From the moment they entered, the surroundings were completely blocked with magic.
No sound coming from this place could pass through the magi’s membrane.
“If I had been a little late, I would have really fallen asleep.”
“So is Jetty.”
The intruders, who had been screaming loudly, realized the situation as they watched the two calmly.
and.
“Sah, save me.”
“This is all because he ordered me to do it.”
“These traitors!”
Three people start to find a way to live by biting each other.
I simply shut them up.
Parss.
A table that turns to dust and disappears at the touch of a light hand.
“Be quiet.”
“Yep.”
“Okay then, let’s start a conversation. Where do you all belong?”
The three of us looked at each other and rolled our eyes at my words.
“If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to.”
Red magic wrapped around their necks.
“No, I will tell you. This is the Ripper Guild.”
“Who is the boss?”
“I am Kuate.”
Actually, from my point of view, it didn’t matter where these guys belonged or who the boss was.
After all, the target is the flag of the god of death.
I just had to check if they knew any information about him.
“I’m looking for something called the god of death flag. Do you know?”
“The flag of the god of death? uh… I’m fine… .”
“I don’t know either.”
“Never heard of it.”
A situation where all three of them say they don’t know.
But I couldn’t believe it was true.
‘It would have been more comfortable if I had Serenia.’
If it was her charm, it wouldn’t be a job to make these guys open their mouths.
It wasn’t that there was no way.
‘Because violence is the best confession.’
It’s hard to harm normal people on the street, but these guys are a different story.
It’s just a matter of touching it moderately without killing it.
“It may hurt a little from now on. If you remember, tell me right away.”
I grabbed them by the shoulders and raised Margie.
Whoops.
The three of them begin to tremble in the dark red demonic air.
“It hasn’t even started yet.”
Right before Magi seeps into their bodies.
“Stop it.”
Someone’s voice came from outside.
‘He reveals himself on his own.’
I had already noticed that someone was hiding nearby.
However, it could have been simply the number left for reconnaissance, so I tried to wait, but the situation showed movement earlier than expected.
“If you have something to say, come in.”
kiik-
Soon the door opened and someone appeared.
