Surviving as a Villain at the Academy

75 – To the Holy Kingdom. (2)

It was bound to take quite some time for the delegation to leave for the Holy Kingdom. This was because we had to make sure that there were no problems with the people who would go on the mission, and we had to filter out those who made rude remarks for no reason in the Holy Kingdom.

In other words, people whose usual behavior was shaky could not be included in the delegation. Actually, I was also quite at risk. Because he has a record of trying to rape Aris.

But fortunately, as soon as it was revealed that Aris and I had reconciled, I was able to join the delegation without any problems.

What followed next was, of course, instilling basic knowledge about the Holy Kingdom. What kind of behavior should one be careful of in the Holy Kingdom? Although the religion was the same, the culture in which they lived was different, so there was bound to be a clear difference between the etiquette of the empire and the etiquette of the holy country.

After being taught the etiquette by the priests, only then were we able to leave for the Holy Kingdom.

The journey from the empire to the Holy Kingdom was quite long. The Holy Kingdom and the Empire were certainly close by, but unless there was a separate space movement magic, it would basically take about a month just to get there.

Of course, this was possible by using lightweight magic and various magic. If it weren’t for those magics, it would have taken more than two months.

If I had known this would happen, I would have included something like a space movement magic circle when setting up. I wanted to write about the journey of the main character and his group, so it was my mistake not to include a space movement magic circle.

What can I do? It happened because I was stupid. But honestly, it was unfair. Did you think I would fail my novel? ….

Anyway, right now I was inside the carriage, staring blankly out the window.

Because there was nothing to do. It was impossible to practice magic, much less swing a sword. There was nothing I could do but watch the time passing by aimlessly.

“…… Haam.”

Asti, sitting in front of me, also yawned. It’s okay to be bored. We, who had been through all kinds of accidents and accidents, would never have thought that we would be hanging out so peacefully on the carriage to Seongguk.

“I’m bored.”

“I can’t help it.”

Asti whined and lowered her head with a sullen expression.

-Anyway, it’s really quiet. Should something explode?

At that moment, Asti spoke to me in chlorine.

-No. It’s not time yet. The Magic Mirror must be opened when you arrive near the Holy Kingdom.

-Why?

-That way, even if something unexpected happens, we can save the saint. The other people here can’t defeat the saint who combined with the remains. If Ruslan and I lose to the saint, we need another salvation to save the saint.

-Is that the number of people in the Holy Kingdom?

-Yes. Honestly, you can’t use your strength. Because you are just a student, Asti. It’s not Astaroth.

-Okay. So we have to stay bored like this all month?

-Unfortunately.

-Oh, my goodness.

Asty sighed deeply. In the first place, he came to the human world on a whim because he liked the entertainment in the human world, but the boring life itself was nothing short of a disaster for Asti.

But an even worse situation came to Asti. The delegation’s procession stopped for a moment. When I looked at the situation outside to see why it had stopped, it seemed like it was taking a short break.

And during that break, Aris, who was riding in the carriage behind me, sneaked out and came towards Asti. With Ruslan and her saint.

This time, Ruslan went on the recommendation of the saint, so she rode in the same carriage as the saint.

The male paladins and priests seemed secretly upset, but they barely held back their anger because they knew what Ruslan had done during this flood of demonic beasts. Above all, it wasn’t just Ruslan who got on the carriage.

Ruslan and his party were all riding in the carriage that the saint was riding. To begin with, the saint’s carriage was extremely luxurious and splendid, and it was developed in-house by the Holy Kingdom in order to serve the saint as comfortably as possible.

Anyway, since there were a total of five people riding in that carriage, the priests did not express any further complaints.

“Prah. Wait for a sec.”

Aris approached me and spoke as if she had something to say to me alone. I briefly excused myself from Asti and followed Aris.

“Why?”

“Just. I came here because I was bored. Honestly, it’s good that there aren’t any major incidents, but it’s a bit boring and difficult.”

According to what she said, Aris’ expression seemed to be quite bored and sleepy due to it. Moreover, there is a saint sitting next to her. It’s even more difficult because you shouldn’t do anything that would ruin your dignity.

“Anyway, it’s a bit uncomfortable, so if you don’t mind, can I get in your carriage?”

“In my carriage?”

“Yes. I heard it was just you and Asti…… Maybe it won’t work? It is a great honor to ride in the same carriage as a saint…… “It’s difficult because there are so many things to worry about.”

“What about the other guys?”

“Don’t even talk. The other kids also seem to be having a bit of a hard time. Especially John.”

“This guy is an apprentice priest, so it’s going to be even worse.”

“That’s right. “I was so depressed that I couldn’t even lift my face.”

“Did you tell the saint?”

“It’s a bit awkward to say it directly, but I was just having a hard time, so I asked if I could move it to Lancel’s carriage, and he readily gave permission. “If you feel uncomfortable, tell me in advance.”

“What about John and Diana?”

“What…… Wouldn’t those two be able to escape as well? “I think it’s probably uncomfortable to be around someone so high up that I can’t even look at them.”

“Only Ruslan will remain. “Aren’t you going to lie down?”

“Will he do that?”

“You never know.”

That’s what they said, but it was probably the saint who was lying down, not Ruslan. Because Adrian didn’t like unnecessary formalities. He’ll probably go somewhere and lie down after asking Ruslan not to tell him.

If Aris hadn’t gotten scared and escaped from her carriage, she probably would have told her directly that she was uncomfortable and told her to stay comfortable.

Anyway, if he comes to my carriage, wouldn’t it be an uncomfortable situation? Asti clearly doesn’t like Aris very much. She probably felt like she was sitting on a cushion of thorns, and there was no reason for me to put myself through that.

“I’ve thought about it carefully, but I think it might be a bit difficult.”

“Uh, why?”

“The carriage is not that big, so I thought it would be cramped if three people got on it.”

In fact, Lancel’s carriage this time was quite small, barely big enough to fit three people. The reason was that there was no need to show off one’s wealth on the way to the Holy Kingdom.

Imagine that something that is not even a saint comes riding in a carriage bigger than her saint. What on earth would the people of Seongguk think?

He must have been whispering from the beginning about how he arrived in a carriage larger than that of a presumptuous saint. Because most places where people live are the same.

Especially because the remains of Saint Este were found this time, the public sentiment in the Holy Kingdom toward Adrian was frantic. It was widely said that God allowed the remains of Saint Este to be discovered because he loved Adrian Deus, the current saint.

Since such a being exists, it was necessary to show a moderately frugal appearance…… So, my carriage was only meant for Asti and I to ride.

“Ah, of course. Lancel’s carriage wasn’t that big this time. “Is there any reason?”

I explained to Aris why I came in a small carriage.

“Anyway, I think it will be a bit difficult. Sorry.”

“No. “There is no need for you to be sorry.”

At that time, the priests told us that we had to start again.

“I have to go now. Ah, Aris.”

“Huh?”

“Try to talk to the saint.”

“What?”

“By any chance, if it’s not rude, can I stay comfortably? “I’m sure you’ll be happy to allow it.”

“…… Really?”

“Yes. “Do you think the saint would pick up on trivial issues?”

“I think so, but I still wonder if it’s a nuisance… ….”

“Just pretend to be fooled and commit it. Surprisingly, people may view it favorably.”

“Okay. “I’ll try.”

Aris had a determined expression. Seriously, looking at him like that, I don’t think he had any other reason to get in my carriage. It must have been quite uncomfortable.

“What did you say?”

As soon as I got on the carriage, Asti asked me.

“They just said the carriage was uncomfortable.”

“Is that all?”

“Yes. So, I said I wanted to come in our carriage, but as you know, this carriage is really small. I said no. Instead, I told him to ask the saint for a favor. “I want to be a little more comfortable.”

“Hmm.”

Asti seemed to be in a good mood.

“Anyway, bear with me even if it’s boring. “It will continue to be like this for some time to come.”

“I feel like I want to fly~”

“That’s the same for me too.”

“Ah, Prah. “Can I lie down for a moment?”

“Lay down.”

Then, instead of sitting in his own place, Asti came next to me and laid down on my lap.

Knowing why he was acting like that, I just chuckled and gently patted his head.
