How To Live As An Academy Extra Villain

46 – Plot(4)

When I followed the Heretic Inquisitors to the plaza, it was also filled with numerous students.

Maybe it’s because they’ve been harassing the academy all day, and there’s another strange rumor going around.

The inquisitors surrounding me spread in all directions and pushed them away, and only then did I see the faces of the students surrounding me.

And among them, some with familiar faces stand out.

The first thing that caught my eye was Eugene, a handsome blonde boy.

I didn’t really want to see him, but his hair, which was exceptionally prominent, took my gaze away against my will.

In the midst of this, when I see him again, I feel an unpleasant feeling in my heart about to come out.

Next to Eugene were his companions.

The silver hair is Patricia, the red hair is… I think it’s Claudia. And a little further away… Iris.

Facing those characters with such a tail, I feel like my whole internal organs are twisted.

The sights I’ve seen so far have rotted my insides enough, but I was able to face a more unpleasant face only after that.

Walter.

That lowly, frivolous commoner was looking at me not far from Eugene.

With his characteristic, unlucky, mean-spirited smile.

And a girl with tawny hair, just like she had seen somewhere, was standing next to him.

I couldn’t see her face very well, but when it comes to tan hair, one thing comes to mind.

The person I bumped into in the hallway a few days ago.

The girl who was groping for me also had tawny hair.

And seeing her and Walter together, a hypothesis suddenly starts to pop into my head.

There is no physical evidence, and it’s already in the past, but it’s a hypothesis that can’t be let go.

Walter. A commoner who hates nobles. plotting resent me

A brown-haired schoolgirl. collide with me falling down groping my upper body

handkerchief. pocket. devil. summons.

Walter. plot. female. devil. handkerchief.

Dozens of words passed through my head in an instant, and now only one conclusion remained in my head.

Walter, that lowly worm was conspiring again.

***

‘Such a dog-like bastard… ‘

The despicable smile on his face didn’t even think about falling, but rather it was getting more and more.

And that expression was the same as evidence that made my hypothesis even stronger.

Anger flared up again, but I was able to calm it down a bit by looking the other way.

It’s fortunate that he and I were quite apart.

Otherwise, I would have rushed over and beaten him.

I shouldn’t have left that worm like him alone.

I didn’t want to cause any more unnecessary accidents, so I skipped over the warning last time, but now it’s a different story.

Investigators are not blind.

No matter how much my handkerchief was found near the summons, a little detailed investigation would quickly prove that it had nothing to do with me.

I don’t know if he knew it and did it to get me into a little mess, or if he was just a fool and wanted to see me truly punished.

But this clearly crossed the line.

Because of what he planned for his own petty revenge, I was suddenly caught up in a story that was supposed to happen in the first place.

He’s sincere when it comes to plotting on stupid subjects.

And there’s no law forcing Walter to do something like this again. No, rather, if I get out safely, he’s the one who will come out more aggressively.

Since he ignored the warnings he gave to his family and did something like this, it’s obvious that he doesn’t have to say it.

If I leave him alone at the academy, he will harm me forever.

After this was over, I was determined to get rid of Walter by any means necessary.

Even if it harms me.

The investigators took me to their quarters and started some preliminary procedures for the interrogation that was about to begin.

I chanted prayers according to their instructions, and when I finished reciting the prayers, they injected a large amount of holy power into my body.

According to the investigator’s explanation, those whose bodies have already been consumed by demons show an extreme rejection of even a small amount of holy power.

And, of course, I had nothing to do with that side, so I was able to pass the verification process without any problems.

Soon after, the interrogation began, but the conversation continued in an atmosphere where the words were interrogation and not so heavy.

I very strongly insisted that I had nothing to do with this incident, and the investigators who accepted my opinion took a closer look around the site again.

After going through several procedures, it was eventually discovered that the time my handkerchief fell there was a long time after the time the gin was formed, and that the footprints that were said to be stamped around it did not match any of the shoes I had.

In addition, since I was always accompanied by Ellie when I was at the academy, I also had a perfect alibi.

“…So, are you sure that what happened now is that that student named Walter is plotting to frame you?”

“That’s right.”

end of the interrogation. In the modestly decorated residence of the inquisitors, Lazarus and I sat face-to-face and had a conversation.

“He has a history of getting me into trouble in the past, and he looked at me and mocked and insulted me when I was brought here earlier.

“Huh, true.”

Upon hearing my words, Lazarus clicked his tongue and made a gurgling sound.

“If what you’re saying is true, this is a very serious matter. How can you conspire with your own feelings over such a vital matter. I understand. I’ll tell you to investigate that side separately.”

“How is the search for the central summoning circle going?”

“…I’m sorry, but it’s not something I can tell the witness. Now, it’s late, so let’s stop the conversation here. You should stay here for the night and return tomorrow after noon. “There are procedures on our side as well. Please understand.”

“…tsk, I understand.”

I heard a thud and the door closed, leaving me alone in the small room.

I lay down on the hard wooden bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

The investigator didn’t answer directly, but judging from the nuance, it can be said that they haven’t found the central summoning circle yet like in the original work.

Of course, I know where the summoning circle is, but if I said it now, it would be nothing more than a confession as a criminal.

It’s tomorrow morning that Eugene catches the devil worshipers, so if you spend enough time here, everything will be over by then.

I couldn’t get used to the hard wooden bed, so I tossed and turned all night, and I was able to fall asleep only at dawn when the sun was hazy.

– Bang bang!

Suddenly, when I opened my eyes, there was a continuous knocking on the door from outside.

I stood up from my seat, frowning at the hot sunlight entering the room.

It must have been around noon, as the sun was in the middle of the sky, but I must have overslept.

By noon, Eugene would have already caught the devil worshiper. I will have to go back to my daily life now. I’m going to have to go and think about what to do with Walter. And I thought of what I would ask of Lazarus for defaming me…

– Jump!

I was getting out of bed and tidying up my clothes when the door suddenly opened and a man ran in.

But somehow his face is familiar. If you look closely, it looks like the young priest who followed Lazaro all day yesterday as an ascetic, but what is this…

“Confucius! You’ve been coughing. This is not the time to be like this. Go home and obey the evacuation order! Time is running out!”

“What is this now…?”

I was about to retaliate at his rude behavior, but I was dumbfounded by the sudden words that came out of the priest’s mouth.

When I was losing my senses, the priest came over to me and pulled me by the arm to stand me up.

“You must wake up! Hurry up!”

“Look! If I suddenly ordered you to evacuate from bottom to top, who would obey? You have to explain everything roughly, right?”

I barely came to my senses and questioned, shaking off my arm, and the priest pulled me outside and shouted again.

“It’s not the time to be like this! The coming of the devil is imminent!”

… what?

“From one of the auxiliary summon circles we were managing, blood has been pouring out everywhere since 15 minutes ago! ! If you understand, move quickly! Come on!”

I couldn’t help but swear at him.

no.

Something is wrong.

In the original work, when Eugene found the central summoning circle, it was still in the middle of the ceremony, so it wasn’t stained red, let alone bloody.

But now, that means that the caster has completed all the rituals he can perform to the end.

Even if I find the summoning circle now, I can’t turn it back.

Eugene.

where are you now and what are you doing
