28. At that time, the warriors

At the academy, demon kings, elves, and war heroes were whispering to each other.

“Can we really do this?”

“….”

“No, Michaela and Cellapy are the same! Say something!”

The four warriors were spending time away from the academy.

To be more precise, it might be said that he was half-forced to wait here.

“The academy is said to have been closed, but there are still demon kings there. Shouldn’t we be doing this, leaving only the demon lords alone in the yard where the demons invaded?”

“… I am anxious.”

Even the meta, who usually doesn’t talk much, has opened its mouth to complain about the current situation.

As rumor has it, I don’t know if the demon lords are really enemies or allies, but at least they’re able to compare themselves with those demon lords, and they’ve taken them out so far away. I didn’t understand.

Or as part of power conservation? Couldn’t you be by my side and get attacked? Then why is Lethe still there? As a war hero, she is an expert among experts when it comes to fighting demons.

Some people doubted Lethe, but Haniel firmly believed that she was talking nonsense.

‘Stupid. How do you know seniors?! No matter how much he saved the demon lords, it was only to save four demons who were being abused by their own people when they were not demon lords in the past! And if those demon lords really did a cowardly trick, he’s the one who will fight them with us!’

Haniel was frustrated. Idiots who don’t believe in Lethe, this situation where they have to watch those stupid things. Those who cannot take the initiative.

“Don’t fret too much. Haniel.”

Michaela, who was quietly reading her book, opens her mouth as she turns over the pages of her bookshelf.

“You have nothing to worry about. I’m not sure… I think so.”

“Me, Michaela?”

Haniel looks at her leader in embarrassment at the voice that is so firm.

Until a while ago, I was extremely wary of the demon lords. No, isn’t she the one who showed her hostility beyond that? It was so intense that Haniel himself was worried.

Since nothing has happened yet, he advised me not to look too badly at the demon lords.

However, as the armistice was concluded, demons suddenly attacked the academy. It was as if he was trying to commit something terrible while keeping his eyes on the demon king who wanted peace.

Haniel wasn’t the only one who thought so. So was the meta, and many had their doubts.

Isn’t it strange that you were aiming for the academy? There were many other places, but didn’t they look like those who came to follow the king on an order?

‘Of course, the demon kings came forward and dealt with the demons themselves, but….’

If we look at what the demons have done so far, we cannot rule out the possibility that even that was a smoke screen.

It could be that they tried to get rid of the suspicion pouring into them at once by cutting off their tails or getting rid of their subordinates because they thought the situation was unfavorable.

Being suspicious of someone is what Haniel hates the most. However, if someone could get hurt by not doing so, he thinks it’s right to be suspicious.

So, as a mage, she decided to keep all her possibilities open and prepare accordingly. At the same time, she said she knew it would be like this, and she was worried about how to stop Michaela, who was very likely to run amok.

“It’s okay. Calm down and get some rest.”

However, I never really imagined that such a reaction would come out.

“Michaela. Really… Are you okay?”

“Tell me how many times. It’s like their independent actions. Haniel may know, but there are people who were purged by the Four Heavenly Kings, right? It could be the work of the remnants of their forces.”

“That’s true, but….”

“Take a break. Even if it weren’t for that, the nobles would have grumbled at us about the academy, and we would have been tired and annoyed without even realizing it.”

For a moment, Haniel was speechless. At the same time, something boils over.

It was amazing. A few days after the raid, nobles gathered and raised objections against them, asking why they hadn’t noticed the invasion of the demons earlier.

How could the warriors do that? They grumbled that they believed it, but regretted it, but Haniel wanted to erase all their voices with a moment of silence magic.

Of course, it is their fault for not noticing it from the beginning. But didn’t he immediately notice the change, wipe out the remnants of the demons, and protect the students?

It’s right to be thanked, not blamed, but they were really nasty. It’s probably because they’re trying to put the blame on themselves. It was because there was a banquet at the time.

“… It is our fault for not realizing it right away.”

“Meta! But this!”

“I can’t help it. The moment we become a hero, all responsibility will come to us.”

Meta murmurs bitterly as she opens and closes her fists over and over again. Even though the warriors were there, they were later than the demon king, so what could they say?

Even if you’ve done everything you need to do, in the end, there has to be someone to take responsibility. And those who took responsibility for it were mostly those who rolled and rolled in the field.

After such a moment of silence—

“So, Michaela doesn’t think the demon king came here with an ulterior motive?”

Haniel sat down on the sofa and tried to double check her leader’s thoughts.

The person she expected to show the most hostility to was none other than Michaela. She felt that if she had to be persuaded, she would have to do it first.

“I am not sure. But… It gives me more room to look.”

“Even that is surprising. Not too long ago, you acted like you were going to catch and eat demon lords.”

Hmmm! Michaela clears her throat. Anyone can see what’s going on. There is, but I don’t know what

“Michaela. What….”

“No! No! Never, never! Nothing happened. I just thought of it a little differently.”

From noble mtl dot com

“….”

I don’t know what kind of change of heart there was, but it’s not bad. It’s not too late to find the reason and show hostility. Haniel, who was about to say something nice, just kept his mouth shut.

It is said that there is no person, but it is clear that ‘something’ happened. Come to think of it, he seemed strangely close to the Demon Kings a while ago. Is there anything good going on?

“I think the same as Michaela.”

Sella Py, who was leaning against her window and puffing on a cigarette, turns her body around. Then, holding on to the bottle of wine that was placed next to her, he muttered that.

“Selapy, you too?”

“Yes.”

After Michaela, the person who showed distrust of the demon lords is Sellafie. Now both women are saying, ‘Mawang, that’s a bit unsettling, but I think you can trust it this time.’ She’s doing it.

Thanks to that, Haniel and Meta looked at each other and reacted, “What the hell is this?” It was only natural that something was happening that was the exact opposite of what they had imagined and worried about.

Pong!―

Uncorking her, Sella Pi drank the entire bottle without even pouring it into her glass. Her spicy alcohol and rich grape scent blend together to warm her throat.

‘The appearance of the demon king Marmar I saw then. It was never about acting.’

She saw herself. Very close, very accurate. The Demon King’s attitude toward the demons who invaded the academy.

That was not the image of a king welcoming his men. It wasn’t even someone who was surprised to find out about my plan. The demon king he saw that day was just a girl who was so happy that he didn’t know what to do.

‘I couldn’t have imagined that I would be so happy to have my heart pulled out.’

Whoop-

She let out a long puff of smoke, and Sella Pee recalled the scene she had seen that day.

Very meticulously, be careful not to break it. The image of Marmar digging out each chest with that quiet gesture and taking out the red heart that had been beating inside.

In an instant, I became convinced. Ah, that woman is a demon king, but she is not a demon king. Demons and the like are out of her interest. The only thing that matters now is the situation itself of pulling out the heart. She

It bothered her that she kept calling Lethe’s name in the middle of it, but seeing that her voice mixed with earnestness and nostalgia, I guess she wasn’t all that bad.

‘… I really don’t know anymore Are those women really as bad as the other demon lords? No, even if it’s different from her existing demons, it seems too different.’

Could it be that Lethe noticed this long ago and saved them and taught them?

It is these guys who will have completely different thoughts among the demons in the future and will bring peace to this world in their own way.

It’s not very likely. In fact, Lethe has won many victories thanks to her great foresight. Michaela, Haniel, Meta, and even Sellafi herself. Wasn’t that the reason she admired and followed him, thinking of him as a hero?

At this very moment, almost similar thoughts were coming to the heads of the warriors little by little.

Perhaps those four demon lords. No, the four women might be completely different from the demons we know.
