Episode 26

Episode 26. The Clown, the Hero, and the Parrot (8)

“devil! devil!”

“Yes~ Yes. I’m going to meet you today. So calm down, parrot.”

A parrot greets me as soon as I leave the dormitory.

I understand how you felt, but you needed to calm down a little.

There is a 50% chance that today’s strategy will succeed.

“Didn’t you endure well for 20 years? But it’s not like you just can’t stand today, right?”

A student passing by looked at me with a look in his eyes that said, ‘You’re crazy,’ and then slowly avoided me.

But my behavior is not strange at all.

Because this parrot can understand human speech.

The parrot, looking straight into my eyes, exclaimed politely.

“devil!”

“Hehe, good. Please follow me slowly.”

The parrot spread its wings and began circling in the sky.

As I said before, the probability of success in today’s attack is 50%.

I wanted to block out as many variables as possible. Even if it’s a parrot.

‘Because being on the devil’s side is no joke.’

The devil’s side is strong. It means he could really die.

Although we have installed several safety devices, this is the first time we have tried this type of attack.

I also got to challenge Episode 1.

My body is shaking.

‘It’ll be fun.’

Of course, it was trembling due to joy.

He came up with an extraordinary strategy that no one had ever tried before.

It’s my first time using it.

Although this is my first time, I am in an extreme environment where mistakes are not tolerated.

I can’t help but be happy.

It’s not that I’m a pervert, any person would be like that.

‘You came out quickly.’

Luna could be seen in the distance.

Luna wearing a real sword on her left side.

As expected, Luna looks best in that look.

“Miss Luna.”

“hey! Why are you here so late? “I thought I was going to die from the heat.”

Clearly, Luna was sweating profusely.

I am not late. No, in fact, he came out 10 minutes early.

So then, since when has Luna been around?

“How long have you been with me?”

“huh? About 3 hours ago… … Oh no! “I just came out!?”

“Aha, I see.”

“Well, it’s real! why? “I wonder if anyone was even looking forward to playing with you?”

Then why are you here 3 hours ago?

Who would have thought someone would leave it behind?

He doesn’t even lose his temper like usual.

I guess I was looking forward to this day.

‘It’s not a feeling of love.’

It’s 100% friendship.

It seems like it was quite fun playing with the kids at the square last week.

From Luna’s perspective, today is her second time playing with her friends.

I feel a little sorry that my thoughts have reached this point. Because we didn’t meet today to have fun.

“Huh, huh! Be thankful. “It’s about taking time out of your precious weekend to have fun.”

“Hehe, are you playing with me instead of doing my favor? Then I don’t have to ask questions.”

“huh? That’s natural. “Why do I get paid to play with my friends?”

“… … .”

Yes, that’s right. There’s a price to pay between friends.

The problem is that today’s game is a devil hunting game(?).

Kukkuk!

Well, a feeling of guilt pricks my heart.

I tried to force myself to dismiss it as a game, but if it didn’t work, it couldn’t work.

“I’ll give you the right to ask questions.”

“huh? no. “There’s no need for that?”

“no! “Be sure to ask questions after today’s play!”

“Oh, you don’t like it? Come on! “Don’t stick around!”

He clung to Luna’s leg and began to beg.

Luna started kicking to throw me off.

Hmm, something feels strange. It feels like I’m opening my eyes to a new taste… … .

Beep beep!

“Unhealthy dating of the opposite sex is grounds for penalty points!”

Rodelin showed up at a good time.

Thanks to this, I was able to keep my eyes open to new tastes.

“He’s just clingy. look.”

“Well, it’s definitely a different approach than usual. Zero, hurry up and get off. “Only a pervert would grab a girl’s legs.”

“I think you’re a pervert, senior.”

“Hmm, I guess so.”

Luna and Rodelin started whispering.

There is a feeling of disdain on both of their faces as they look down at me.

Hmm, I feel like I’m about to discover a new taste.

Before that, I quickly stood up. Because I’m not a pervert.

“Hehe, I can’t believe you welcomed me warmly. Thank you.”

“It is a body that distinguishes between public life and life. Well, it was my mistake to react to words that were nothing more than lies and delusions.”

The Lucid family has been cursed by the devil.

It was a question that Rodelin could not help but be taken aback by.

That’s because Lucid is a secret that only people know and must be kept hidden.

“I have to reflect. There will be a lot of things like this in the future. It looks like the tension has eased for a moment. “I am grateful to you.”

The Lucid family to which Rodelin belongs is one of the most prestigious families.

A famous family that can maintain its position as one of the pillars of the empire without creating a faction.

Rodelin must be feeling both burden and responsibility.

“Hehe, so I hope you understand that there are circumstances I cannot talk about.”

“of course. Because responsibility is not a privilege reserved only for nobles. “I guess Zero-kun is also carrying something.”

Good, very good.

I knew he was a noble and reasonable character, but I never thought he would respect me this much.

From now on, it seemed like most things could be passed over as ‘Hehe, it’s a secret.’

“Well, then let’s move on to talking about work. “We looked closely during our patrol, but we didn’t find anything that looked like signs of erosion.”

“Hehe, actually, it’s the same for me too. So… … “How about we track down the rumor?”

“rumor?”

“Yes, rumors about erosion and demons.”

“Hmm, but it’s so massive. Even if we limit the space to just the academy… … “It’s so massive.”

I started acting, pretending to be lost in thought for a moment.

The process of guessing the space where the ‘devil’s piece’ is located.

Because I knew the progression route perfectly.

All you have to do is feed it to Rodelin naturally.

“Hehe, what if we limit it to people from 20 years ago?”

“… … “20 years ago?”

“Yes, don’t you know that the Parrot Army has been around since then?”

This time Rodelin was lost in thought.

This is probably what’s going on in her head.

I don’t know when the prototype for erosion was created, but for some reason it leaked out and left a mark on the parrot.

Parrots appeared about 20 years ago.

The words spoken are devil, danger, protect, save, help, etc.

It’s a unique word, but the word ‘devil’ is especially unique.

What if the parrot encounters a being that could be called the devil and asks for help?

But talking to animals is impossible.

then… … !

“We obtain information through incidents that occurred at the academy about 20 years ago or from people who were staying at the time, that is.”

“Hehe, that’s correct. “As expected, you are amazing.”

This is a level of reasoning that will make you burst out in applause.

“Didn’t Zero give you a hint? “It was a very simple deduction that anyone could make after hearing that.”

I looked at Luna in silence.

She was still tilting her head.

Yeah, it’s there. A kid who can’t even make simple deductions.

‘Just grow healthy and grow quickly.’

Even today, I felt the heart of a father raising his daughter.

* * *

A conversation with the building manager.

“20 years ago? It was absolute chaos back then. “Because the holy sword suddenly disappeared.”

“Are you talking about the warrior’s holy sword?”

“okay. The holy sword that had not been drawn for over 100 years has disappeared. All that remains is the trace left after the holy sword was pulled out. I don’t know if it still exists. “It has been a closed area for a long time.”

A conversation with the head maid.

“This is a rumor that was going around at the time… … “There was a rumor going around that another student had gone missing as well.”

“Missing? “So you still haven’t found it?”

“At the time, the investigation team was focusing all their attention on finding the holy sword. Besides, it was just a rumor… … .”

“What is the name of the student presumed missing?”

“I don’t remember. It was so long ago… … .”

Rodelin sighed.

They can’t even properly determine whether a student is missing.

“What on earth were the student council executives doing at that time? … !”

Rodelin shuffled through the documents.

It was information about people who have been working since 20 years ago.

As the vice president of the student body, I was able to easily obtain information.

‘Well, I can find something like that without it.’

This is the route of the hidden piece that has been repeated thousands of times.

Now, all you have to do is have a final conversation with the unknown grandmother.

“Now this is the last time. “He is the person who has stayed at the Academy the longest.”

“It looks like that guy over there. huh… … ?”

Grandmother standing in the flower bed. And next to it.

‘Raymon?’

The pure evil Neg Raimon was taking care of the flower bed.

“Raymon?”

“ah… … Oh, zero! Oh, hello! Seo, hello to you too, senior!”

Raimon bowed his back.

He is a polite young man. Of course, the mouth isn’t like that.

“hey! “Can’t you see me?”

“ah… … Lu, Luna! sorry. It’s too small… … .”

“Hey, this! “Do you really want to die!?”

“Why, why are you angry… … . Me, I was just telling the truth. “You’re really small.”

Luna grabbed Raimon by the collar and started swinging it around.

Rodelin tried to calm Luna down.

Well, it wasn’t anything I cared about.

“Hello, grandma?”

“Holhol, there are a lot of customers today. “Nice to meet you all.”

“Do you remember what happened 20 years ago? A devil or something… … A holy sword or something… … .”

“It was 20 years ago… … “There were rumors about the devil.”

“Did you just say devil?”

Rodelin hurriedly approached and asked again.

“okay. Many people said they saw something black and jagged. “I couldn’t find any traces so it became quiet.”

“okay. “I heard there was also a presumed disappearance.”

“It is true that he is missing, not presumed missing.”

“yes?”

“I saw that kid often.”

“that! What is your name?”

“I don’t know your name because you didn’t tell me. I wandered alone every day as if I had no friends. “She was a mysterious child who walked around with a parrot.”

Rodelin’s eyes turned to the parrot floating in the sky.

He is also a smart kid.

“Why didn’t you report it!”

“I did it countless times. But no one believed me. The student record has disappeared. “Someone must have had a hand in it.”

“That can’t be possible!”

“Do you really think so? It is a huge disgrace that a disappearance occurred at Annwood Academy. The student who was supposed to protect him has disappeared? “Everyone would have wanted to do something that never happened.”

“Well, that…” … .”

Rodelin could no longer speak.

Because dirty guys exist everywhere.

He could have easily done something like expunging one student’s record to protect his position.

“I guess you belong to the student council. yes?”

Rodelin, shivering greatly, covered her leader’s name tag with her hand.

Even though it’s not something that can be hidden.

“There is no need to be embarrassed. “It’s not your fault.”

“still… … sorry.”

“If you bury this in the ground after hearing about it, you should be sorry. “How about you believe this old man’s words and find the child?”

“It’s natural. Vice-student president… … No, I swear on my name.”

“Thank you. “I feel a little relieved now.”

As soon as she turned her back on her grandmother, Rodelin’s expression turned grim.

He must have realized that the people who buried the student were nobles.

‘Now all I have to do is take the time to reason.’

After gathering information and making inferences, go ‘there’ and the battle begins.

It was when I was about to leave.

“But do you know that kid?”
