The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

369 – Scene 369# the Library Is Closed Again Today.

*

“Long time no see. Chairman.”

The person who greeted me as I got off the carriage was Mondry Cremont, the president of Maykahel University.

“… Is there a need to come out to meet me like this?”

“Haha… “It’s really hard to see the chairman’s face these days.”

Well, it’s been a really long time since I’ve been to school like this. Because I was traveling around with the emperor to take care of the northern, I couldn’t come to school very often. I don’t know how long it’s been since I last talked to President Mondry.

“I couldn’t help it because I was busy.”

“Being busy is just an excuse. Even when Arthur was chairman, he came to school once a week.”

Mondry was not the only one who came to meet me. Next to him was Professor Ariel Richet.

“It’s been a while. Professor Ariel.”

“Yes. It’s me. And congratulations.”

“Congratulations?”

“I heard you’re getting married. “Congratulations on finding not one, but three beautiful partners.”

Although her tone was a bit sarcastic, Ariel was congratulating me sincerely. After clearing up all her misunderstandings through the northern, she no longer harbored hostility towards me.

“It’s too early to celebrate. “We haven’t even decided on a wedding date yet.”

“I don’t know when I’ll see you again, so please think of it as congratulating me in advance. Since the chairman is so busy, I might not be able to meet her until the day of her wedding, right?”

Maybe Ariel is right. If possible, I’m thinking of marrying them after the service starts, that is, once everything is resolved. Until then, I have to be busy, so it will be difficult to show up at school often.

“Anyway, Wendy will be lonely if the chairman gets married.”

“… “Wendy?”

“Yes. “Wendy follows and likes the chairman a lot.”

“… Right… “G.”

“Wendy skipped a grade, so she’s not.” Actually, she’s a little kid who needs a lot of affection. “She may be a b*tch, but please don’t neglect her just because she’s married.”

Ariel, who did not know her situation, spoke in a warning tone.

“The chairman is like a father to Wendy. She would be anxious that her position would be diminished if such a father-like figure were to marry her.”

“No… I ‘m like her her father her her her…”

“It’s okay for her not to pretend to be humble. If it wasn’t for you, Ms. Wendy, she wouldn’t have been able to come to our school and spread her wings. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the fact that Wendy is where she is today is all thanks to the support of her chairman.”

“…”

I know what Ariel means. But apart from that, my conscience was pricked as if pricked by a needle. Fortunately, Mondry ended the conversation at the right time.

“Haha… Professor Ariel. “Don’t take up too much of the chairman’s time.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s been a while since I last saw you, so I’m talking too long. Then I’ll just…”

Professor Ariel bowed and walked quickly toward the research building. Did you really just come to say hello?

“Are you going to the library today?”

“Okay.”

“Please follow me. “I will guide you to the entrance of the library.”

Mondry said that and took the lead.

He didn’t mind going alone, but I insisted on guiding him, so he didn’t refuse. At least he has something to say. Just as expected. When the library began to come into view, Mondry opened his mouth.

“Chairman. What do you think of Professor Ariel?”

“… What do you mean?”

“Ah… I asked this question too suddenly. What do you think of Professor Ariel’s abilities?”

“… Excellent professor. “I think I am setting a good example as a senior professor.”

Ariel’s abilities are beyond doubt. But President Mondry probably knows this better than I do, so why bother asking me this?

The answer was immediately apparent.

“Then, would it be okay if I appointed Professor Ariel as president in place of the old man?”

“… Mondry. Are you thinking of resigning from your position as president?”

“Haha… In fact, there is no need to back down. I was only acting as the acting president. Of course, I left it in for a long time.”

President Mondry smoothed his beard and smiled. That smile was not an old and lifeless smile, but rather the smile of a child who seemed to have discovered something new.

“It’s sudden. “What are you planning to do after handing over the position of president to Ariel?”

“Actually, I’m going to try to become a wise man again.”

“A wise man?”

This time I couldn’t help but be surprised. I thought Mondry gave up on becoming a wise man a long time ago.

“Haha… Don’t they say that when the time comes to die, you think more about the dreams you couldn’t achieve than the meals you couldn’t eat? I think I need to try it before I get too old to “Satisfy my instincts. Isn’t it?”

“Ugly guy.”

The calico cat that had been hiding in my shadow until then appeared. Sage Myohail, the real president of Maykahel University and the pinnacle of wizards, looked up at Mondry as if he was disapproving.

“What have you been doing for so long that you now want to become a wise man? “It’s too late.”

“Haha… Is it too late to become a wise man?”

“It means it’s too late to make up your mind. “You ugly disciple.”

Myohail’s appearance shimmered for a moment and an elderly man appeared. He looked older than Mondry, but he was taller and his waist was straight. Although it was an old man I had never seen before, I realized that it was the true face of the wise man Myohail.

Mondry seemed a little surprised to see his teacher after a long time.

“Master…”

“You said you hated it so much, but why did you change your mind now?”

“Just… At first, I was afraid that I would fail. Then, as I got older, I was afraid that my skills would become more dull. Yes… “I think I was always afraid.”

Mondry smiled bitterly and suddenly looked at me.

“I thought so before I met the chairman.”

“Me?”

“I don’t know if the Chairman remembers, but he once said that to me at an academic festival.”

-If it’s an academic festival, shouldn’t you, the president, prepare something?

-Do you mean me? No… I’m not standing on the podium…

-A place where you, too, once challenged yourself to become a wise man. Isn’t he ahead of most wizards?

I remembered. I’m sure there was a time when I said something like that.

“When I heard that, it was like that. “All the professors at this school are diligent in their research, but I never thought that I would have to set an example by becoming the president.”

It was a comment thrown without much thought. But Mondry must have taken what I said seriously.

“Now that I think about it, I am more afraid of my passion dulling than failing or my skills dulling. I am more afraid that Professor Ariel and the professors under him will lose their desire for magic and desire for truth. So, I plan to entrust Professor Ariel as acting president and challenge the Magic Tower.”

“…”

“It’s late, but for the sake of this old man’s regret, would you please allow him to retire?”

The resignation of the president is a decision that must be made by the school board of directors. However, the Ruelberta family is holding on tightly to the school and foundation. My opinion, as chairman of the board and Count Ruelberta, is more important than the decisions of the directors. That’s why Mondry is asking me this.

‘Honestly, there is no reason to object.’

It’s true that I can’t refuse when Mondry asks me this much. However, I wanted to keep him in the position of president just a little longer.

[63 days until service start]

It won’t be long before the players arrive. We are fully prepared, but we cannot afford to lose the talent that will protect this school.

“I will allow you to retire.”

“Thank you…”

“But not right now. You will be stepping down from your position after you have fully completed the handover process to Professor Ariel. Likewise, we must wait until a successor takes over the senior professor position held by Professor Ariel. But it’ll be okay, right?”

“Yes. Of course. “I also have no intention of leaving right now.”

“Hmm…Shouldn’t you learn more from me?”

Myohail tapped the floor with his cane and clicked his tongue. In response to his teacher’s grumbling, Mondry shook his head.

“Is that possible? There is nothing more to learn from Master.”

“Bouncer. “Say that and just be a bad wise man.”

“Haha… Please wait a moment. “I will become a disciple who surpasses his teacher.”

Eventually, we arrived in front of the staircase of truth, the entrance to the library.

“Haha… Then this old man will leave. Chairman.”

Mondry nodded lightly towards us.

“I’m waiting for the wedding invitation.”

[Report any abnormalities to the barrier worker.]

“Nothing more than a wall… ! It’s myo!”

[I get it. Good luck.]

Jingling jingling.

Myoruji, the striped cat who finished reporting to the magic bell, wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“Phew… Well, I did it…”

After going through the librarian training center and becoming a second-class librarian, he was a rookie among rookies who still had the speaking style of a young cat. Therefore, even this reporting process was a series of tension for him.

Maykahel University Library, Wall of Truth. The entrance there is called the so-called barrier among librarians.

“Kyahahaha. That’s right. They say someone is coming. “I told you to take it easy.”

“Myo, Myomegi Senior Librarian’s grave…”

Myomegi, a cat with catfish whiskers, patted Myoruji on the shoulder and laughed.

“The guys who came on the radio just did it as a formality. No matter what you say, I will just say that I understand.”

“Well, you still don’t know…”

“By any chance you don’t know? Are you afraid that some rats will come in? Would you let rats come into a place full of cats? “Unless you’re a crazy rat!”

“That’s true… ” .”

Actually, what Myomegi said was right. As the entrance to the library, the wall played an important role in preventing intruders, but the work was quite relaxed.

Normally, students and professors would come in to borrow books, but during vacation periods like now, the entry of outsiders is strictly controlled. Except for the occasional visit by high-ranking professors, most people’s daily routine was to check access cards and send them back.

Moreover, the highest elder of the Library of Truth has been away for a long time. As soon as military discipline falls, it is inevitable.

“Hey. I’m going to take a nap. “If anything happens, wake me up.”

“Grave, grave!”

“I’m going to sleep trusting you, so stand up straight. “Understand, right?”

“Please leave it to me!”

Myo Megi untied her apron and stuffed her body into the space between her bookshelfs.

Myoruji, left alone, stood on the barrier made of books in a very nervous state.

“Ah… !”

Myoruji spotted the visitors walking from the other side and stepped in front of them holding a wooden club.

“Okay, I’m going to check you for a moment!” “Excuse me, but my reading card…”

“It’s me.”

It was an elderly man who said that. The old man, who so shamelessly said it was me, just stood there, turning a blind eye to Myoruji’s request.

“Well, didn’t you hear me clearly?”

“Haha… Have you forgotten my real face now?”

“You probably don’t recognize it because of its appearance. “If it’s a viewing certificate, is this okay?”

The gentleman dressed in black standing next to the old man took out a card from his pocket and held it out to Myoruji. Maybe he’s a professor? He was a man with a very dignified and gentle appearance.

However, Myoruji’s thoughts stopped the moment he checked the man’s access card.

“Uh… ?”

Purple.

It was a purple reading card. It is the only color among the reading certificates. That means only one thing.

VVVIP.

A being far above the highest elder in this library.

A conversation they had not long ago flashed like a flash in young Myoruji’s mind.

-Didn’t Senior Librarian Myomegi say that he personally received the purple reading certificate?

-Ah. Okay. It was when I was a first-class librarian… His hands were shaking. Phew… If it were me, it would have ended like that. If it were you, you probably would have urinated.

-Sigh…

What Senior Librarian Myomegi said was almost true.

“Yiyi… “Second-class librarian… “Myoru…”

Myoruji’s teeth chattered. She didn’t stop urinating, but her legs gave out and she fell down.

But the wonders did not end there.

“Hmm. “I guess I have to look like this to be recognized.”

When the elderly man tapped his staff on the ground, he turned instantly into a calico cat.

“Grave, grave, grave, grave, old man…” ” ” .”

Myoruji, a newcomer, also knew that there was only one calico cat in this library. It was none other than Myoil, the oldest person in this library who had been away for several months.

“Where is your senior going and is he alone?”

“Well, ugh… ” .”

He tried to answer due to the shock of encountering such a high being, but his voice trembled and no words came out.

That’s why Tristan, who checked the bookshelf in the corner, gave Myoruji’s answer.

“I feel like I’m sleeping.”
