68 – Returner’s Meeting

A writer’s message that suddenly appeared.

Let’s wait and see what kind of reward will be given this time.

[We will give you a hint regarding the next movement of the Demon King.]

It is said that it gives a hint of what will happen in the future, different from what has been done so far.

It’s really ugly. Writer bastard.

Well, I knew that much from the beginning when I reverted back to having killed the Demon King quickly.

[The hint is none other than the necklace of subordination.]

Necklace of Subordination?

Surely Jane didn’t destroy it?

But, what does that have to do with the Demon King’s next move?

‘Hmm. Did the Demon King get it again?’

However, I think it makes no sense to say that.

Not only is the slave necklace not very common, but I only got one in the previous episode.

‘Hmm… This isn’t something I did with the princess sometime…’

Anyway, now I have to talk to not only the princess but also the returnees.

What is the devil aiming for now?

Aren’t we the returnees and the warriors?

Even if we don’t know anything, it goes without saying that since yanderes are involved, they have to talk.

‘You should catch me sometime and tell me the truth.’

-Can you even say that the owner is possessed?

‘Of course I’m going to hide that, but that’s not right. ‘You bastard.’

-You have to believe what you have to believe.

Thus, the group competition with the second graders ended in vain.

As an aside, it is said that a student named Celine who was kidnapped by Queen was fortunately found not dead.

***

Approximately a week has passed since then.

To explain what happened during that time, a rumor spread that demons had infiltrated the Imperial Academy.

Thanks to that, the empire was in quite a bit of trouble.

In fact, the fact that demons have infiltrated the Academy is because there is no way that other places are safe.

However, as if she had expected that much, the princess spoke with the church and revealed the hero’s identity.

Thanks to this, people who were shaking with anxiety began to live their lives as usual again, as if they had received a ray of hope.

From Noble mtl dot com

‘In the first place, the existence of a hero is literally like hope.’

-At least say that when you see what’s in front of you. Master.

Jukchang tackles me as if it were natural to hear what I said.

I shifted my gaze after hearing her words.

“Heo-eok… Heo-eok… No. Is it okay to defeat a hero like this? Professor?”

While breathing heavily and asking a question in a voice full of dissatisfaction.

I looked down at that guy and raised the corners of her mouth.

“Of course. “I am the one in charge of your training.”

“In my opinion, this person is clearly the devil. “That’s not the devil.”

“What?”

“Professor, you are an angel.”

This guy immediately changes his attitude when I ask a question.

I was dumbfounded by his words and exchanged the bamboo spear for a ring.

“Hmm? “Is it over already?”

“Huh? Really?”

“What? “Are the after-school classes from hell finally over?”

Then, the students from Class A, who had fallen, lifted their heads up as if they had seen a ray of hope.

No. What is it that you call hell for something like this?

After hearing Eve’s teaching method, I realized how kindly I had been treated.

At least I didn’t hurt the students.

– Those kids won’t think that way, master.

‘What do you know when you’re not a professor?’

I opened my mouth, easily ignoring Jukchang’s tackle.

“I have something else to do today. Let’s just get this over with. “Thank you all for your hard work.”

“Waaa!!! “It ended two hours early!”

“It’s f*cking heaven!!!”

These guys are so happy that they shout and even cry.

It is clear that I am a good professor.

-How far does the owner’s self-justification go?

***

The place I went to after finishing my after-school class was none other than the student council president’s office.

I knocked on the door and opened my mouth.

“Rosé. “Let’s go in.”

With those words, I took the princess, Sena, and Jane inside the door.

Margaret, the escort knight who was following us, stood guard in front of the door at the princess’s orders.

Let’s go inside the door like that.

“Are you here? Professor.”

“I was waiting.”

Eve and the student council president, Rose, were reflected in the field of vision.

“······.”

“······.”

Awkward silence between us.

Soon, I broke the silence first.

“Hmm. Why does it feel like I haven’t seen you in a long time?”

“It’s not like I’m seeing you again after a long time. “It’s been a while since I last saw you, Professor?”

“Ah. Is it.”

“Yes. Anyway, what is the reason you gathered us like this? “The professor who has been avoiding us all this time?”

Now Rosé says with confidence that I have returned.

Well, even if I get out of the way now, there’s no way they’ll believe me.

I went straight to the main topic.

“That’s because I have something to talk about about the Demon King.”

“The devil?”

At my words, the rest of the women except the princess tilt their heads.

Instead of answering, I quietly shifted my gaze to the princess.

Then, the princess lowered her head and opened her mouth.

“I think the devil has returned. “Like us.”

“”····Yes?””

The next moment, the yanderes open their eyes and make blank expressions.

The princess continues to explain.

“First of all, we have investigated the devil’s movements so far. But something was strange. Surely, who was the person the devil was targeting in the previous episode?”

“I understand that he was definitely a warrior.”

Rosé answered without hesitation.

The princess shook her head up and down as if that was correct.

“That’s right. He was a warrior. But what the devil is targeting now is none other than us. “For example, what happened with Jane last time.”

“Hmm. “Wasn’t it like that in the previous episode?”

“It would be better for Jane or the professor to talk about that rather than me.”

Attention was focused on me and Jane.

I gave Jane a look as if telling her to speak for herself, and she nodded her head and began to explain.

By the time the explanation is over.

“And finally, because of this incident, I got involved with the master.”

“””······.”””

No. Why are you talking about that at the end?!

They look at me with cold, cold eyes.

‘f*ck. Why does it seem like this is the most critical situation? Why?’

As I was thinking that, Senna poured oil on the fire.

“Hmm. I already did that too. That too Jane. “Before you.”

No. Why are you doing this?!

“I see. Ah! Professor. Now that I think about it, I made a promise last time, right?”

At that time, Rosé raised the corners of her mouth and asked a question in an alluring voice.

Eve claps her hands as if she just remembered something.

“Ah. As the student council president said, in exchange for helping Jane, you made a promise, right? “Are you willing to grant any request to the professor as much as possible?”

“·····No. That.”

I remember it too clearly to deny it.

I want to regret it, but honestly, I was in such a hurry at the time that there would have been no other way.

‘Shiva. I can’t even regret it. This.’

The moment I was thinking that.

“Everyone. “Please stop bragging about yourself.”

The princess crossed her arms, breaking her overheated mood.

Then, Rosé smiles warmly.

“I guess there’s nothing different from us? Princess?”

“Hmm. Well, think whatever you want. I am····.”

The princess naturally comes next to me, trailing off her words.

Then, he gently caresses my cheek and then responds with an alluring smile.

“While you were forming an alliance among yourselves, you and the professor were forming an alliance ‘alone’.”

“”””······.””””

The next moment, the remaining heroines grit their teeth with their mouths closed.

At the same time.

-Pazizik!

With their eyes wide open, they glare at each other.

I wonder if sparks will fly out of the rest of the atmosphere.

“Okay. We didn’t gather here for this. “Let’s quickly get to the point.”

I clapped my hands to calm the overheated atmosphere, and it immediately became quiet.

I went straight to the main topic.

“Well, the devil has returned. This is important, right? “If things continue like this, he’ll probably keep trying to target us.”

“Yes. Just as the professor said. But, is there some way? “We can’t invade the Demon King’s Castle right now, right?”

As Sena said, going to the Demon Castle now is an act of suicide.

It is impossible for us to annihilate the Demon King’s army now that we are not in our prime.

But.

“It is possible to prepare for their attacks.”

“Yes? “I know how the devil moves…”

The heroines, including the princess, make expressions of incomprehension.

I answered their questions right away.

“He’s probably going to aim for Shinsoo.”

“······.”

The next moment, unlike the others, Rosé’s expression changed significantly.

Soon, she asks a question.

“Is there any reason you think that way? Professor?”

“Well, it’s a long story. “There’s something I saw in the previous episode when I was secretly infiltrating the Demon King’s army.”

“No way…”

“Okay. “As you expected, what I saw was a divine beast who became the devil’s army with the necklace of subjugation.”

At the time, I thought that if I killed the Demon King, he would come back anyway, so I didn’t look at it closely.

However, what is certain is that divine beasts subordinate to the Demon King’s army were seen.

So, it is clear that the Demon King will definitely aim for Shinsoo.

However, just because of this, I am not sure that the devil will make his next move.

Just.

‘This writer mentioned the necklace of subordination as a hint.’

The reason the Demon King’s army used the necklace of dependence was none other than to capture the Divine Beast.

So, the Demon King’s next move will probably be towards Shinsoo.

“Let’s prepare.”

With those words, we continued the story further.

The meeting ended at 10 o’clock.

As an aside, there was a subtle war of nerves between the female group during the meeting, but it probably wasn’t that important.

***

Same time.

The Demon King, who was conserving his demonic energy, calmed his runaway energy and slowly opened his eyes.

At the same time.

“Demon King. Succubus Queen…”

“I know.”

An executive watching from the side.

Leviathan reports, but the devil cuts off the horse’s waist.

Even if he doesn’t say anything, he can feel that Queen is dead.

‘Returners aside, it’s a shame we couldn’t catch the hero.’

The Demon King was lost in thought for a moment as he savored his appetite.

If things continue like this, even if the warriors are left behind, the returners will definitely become stronger.

So, we have to somehow reduce their power.

‘First of all, the thing that bothers me the most is the Archmage and the Princess.’

Removing the princess’s brain is nearly impossible, other than killing her.

Therefore, it would be better to reduce the power of the Archmage, the daughter of the Magic Tower.

“Leviathan.”

“Yes. “Demon King.”

“This time, order one of the executives to use this to color the divine water reflected in the crystal sphere here with demonic energy.”

Leviathan listens to her words and receives the crystal ball.

Soon, his eyes sparkle and he speaks in a serious tone.

“Demon King. “I heard the story.”

“What are you talking about?”

“No wonder he went there to assassinate the hero.”

“Hmm?”

Me?

“Even if you pretend not to know, I already know. Because the hero said that the devil came to kill him!!”

“Uh…”

Really?
