A Failed Knight Who Went to the Academy To Get Married

042: A Vine for the Nun

Seymint, who was guarding the entrance to the real world, was startled by the eerie silence.

“Save me!”

Suddenly, the Dorea Knight burst out and ran wildly, and Maria followed, chasing after Dorea.

“It’s pointless to run away, you know. Lady Yumano is everywhere, after all.”

…After the two of them left.

Seymint suddenly found himself with nothing to do.

“Hmm? It’s clear that other soldiers should be coming here, but…”

In fact, there were almost no soldiers left in the castle.

The Yumano knights had all been defeated by Seymint and Cat earlier, and the soldiers and knights of Altoria had headed towards the underground dungeon.

As a result, Seymint found himself completely unnecessary, unintentionally.

“Hmm… Should I go in and help?”

He said, glancing briefly inside the backstage area,

but somehow the atmosphere didn’t feel right.

It seemed like none of the people were paying attention to anything except their own rival.

“‘Shin Dong is not just a rumor,’ it seems!”

“What’s wrong, are you okay?”

“You’ll die if you just sit there!”

“You’re the one who needs to get your act together!”

Seimint exclaimed.

“Can I help you two?”

“No, don’t!”

From noble mtl dot come

“I’m just standing back!”

And it turned out that Altoria placed great importance on duels.

So he judged that it was not the right time to intervene.

In the end, Seimint closed the backstage door and muttered to himself.

“Oh, what a pain.”

At that moment, Maria suddenly appeared from nowhere.

“Maria? What’s going on?”

“Run, run!”

“Yes.”

A huge slime was chasing Maria from behind.

Dorea, who was chasing after the slime from behind, shouted.

“Hahaha! This is the true power of the Supreme Idol, Yumano-sama!”

After a moment of hesitation, Sei-min suddenly started chasing after Maria.

“You could easily crush such a slime, couldn’t you?”

“Absolutely not! I don’t want to even look at such a disgusting creature!”

“That’s the reason.”

“You have to experience the slime’s torture and humiliation to understand my mood!”

Sei-min smiled wryly, then turned around and held out his cane to the slime.

“Born from the unforgiving earth, spirit of origin, abandon all regrets and return to the earth.”

As the slime dissolved and disappeared in an instant,

Doria’s sylph-like figure hesitated and retreated.

“What are you doing, you scoundrel!”

“This is a normal way to eliminate slime, you know.”

Then Mary clung to Seimint’s back and shouted.

“Teach me that magic too!”

“Are you treating the magic of the Elf tribe like a heretic, Yumano-sama?”

“Yumano-sama has a broad heart, so you can’t even look the other way!”

“I won’t forgive you for touching Yumano-sama’s creation with your own hands!”

Doria’s sylph-like figure pulled out black gemstones from her bosom and threw them away.

“The slime was the weakest of my minions just now! Let’s see if these kids can take it down too!”

His words were not wrong.

Hell Hound, Black Jaguar, Killer Rabbit…

Each one was as dangerous as several knights.

Finally, Seimint burst out in surprise and took a step back.

“But what’s the point of summoning these disgusting demons anyway?”

Maria, who had been slightly calmed down, spoke up from behind.

“It’s when you torture heretics that the spirit energy accumulates to create demons.”

Dorea, the envoy, retorted.

“Don’t be ridiculous! You’re just giving those dirty souls the chance to worship Ma No-sama!”

“Seriously, how far has that fallen angel fallen… Ma No-sama, I’ll apologize on your behalf.”

Maria pulled out her Mes and approached Seimint.

The frightened expression from earlier had disappeared, replaced by a face that looked extremely delighted.

“I’ll send them all to Ma No-sama’s side at once.”

“Ah! Even if you’re incredibly talented, you can’t defeat these demons-“

Maria threw her Mes with all her might.

The Mes pierced the demons’ bodies all at once.

And then flew swiftly above Dorea’s head, narrowly avoiding it.

Maria’s eyes narrowed as she spoke.

“Thank you, Lady Yumano, for the gift of small stature.”

“What, what is this nonsense!”

Maria yanked off her nun’s habit and approached DoRe Mi, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

“Is there anything else? Or will you just die quietly?”

“Hah! I didn’t plan to use this much!”

DoRe Mi tossed the last gem from her bosom out the window with all her might.

The gem exploded in mid-air, revealing the true form of a demon before them.

Seimint and Maria’s eyes widened simultaneously.

“Dragon?”

“That’s a dragon!”

“I’ve never seen one before.”

“I have too.”

“Ha ha ha! Have you seen it? This is truly the power of Lady Yumano!”

The power of Lady Yumano was also black as coal.

Anyway, both Sei-min and Maria looked troubled this time.

A giant’s teeth that could fit into a mouth like that.

The oppressive feeling was so intense that it could shake a building just by screaming.

“As for dragons, magic doesn’t work on them, you know?”

“And skin that’s not as hard as diamond can’t even be scratched, you know?”

The Doria priestess grew even more agitated and shouted.

“If you don’t even try to escape now, you’ll only be left with your life!”

However, Maria ignored him and jumped out the window without hesitation.

“That’s finally a decent one!”

Sei-min also chased after her, shouting.

“Let’s go together!”

As the dragon was about to devour Maria with an air of anticipation,

Maria climbed onto its head, as if waiting for this moment.

However, the dragon’s intense thrashing made it difficult for Maria to cling on, barely managing to hold on.

“Help me!”

Sei-min-ta held the staff and recited a spell.

As he did, the wall’s creeping vines suddenly sprouted and wrapped around the dragon’s wings.

“In the name of Yuma-no-nim!”

Maria swung her Meis at the dragon’s head.

As the dragon helplessly plummeted and ceased movement.

“… Ugh, what a nuisance.”

Maria jumped out of the dragon, muttering to herself.

“This is just a giant lizard. What a waste of time.”

Beyond the window, the Dorea emissary’s expression turned solemn and she took flight.

However, the vines grasped the emissary’s waist and dragged her out of the window.

Maria gazed down at the Dorea emissary and asked.

“Dorea Sister, how will you take responsibility for my annoyance?”

“Ah, Sister! Please calm down.”

“But I asked how you would take responsibility.”

“Ah, what do you want! Is it money? Is it status?”

“Ah…”

Maria hesitated for a moment before bringing down the mace onto DoReMi’s head.

But then something occurred to her and she put the mace away.

DoReMi let out a sigh of relief, but then…

“And so, you owe me something,”

“What is it?”

Maria grabbed DoReMi’s hand.

And then she snapped the thumb on her right hand.

“This is Elford’s share.”

The flesh on Maria’s arm began to tear, and her bones were about to show, so…

DoReMi let out a horrible scream.

“Kahahahahaha!”

She continued to crack her fingers, expressionless, and snapped the other two fingers as well.

“This is Trian’s share. This is Yuril’s share.”

“Stop! Please, stop!”

“This has made me furious.”

“Please, please stop!”

“And if you only talk to yourself, you’ll be lonely, you know.”

“Ahahahahah!”

After Maria finally let go of his hand.

“I’m sorry. If I had a proper tool, I could have reduced the pain a bit more.”

“You… you little brat!”

The tears-stained Doréa Sainte Jean thrust out her hand on the opposite palm with all her might.

A radiance burst forth from his hand.

The Holy Magic Bullet that had pierced Elphard.

Just before it was fired, Maria grabbed his arm and twisted it.

“Ahahahahah!”

Doréa Sainte Jean started kicking her legs and removed the veil covering Maria’s head.

And then a rabbit ear appeared on top of her head.

But not a pair, one.

One side was torn and ripped off.

Dorea’s Seal saw the scene and burst into a rage.

“Ah, you’re a species of Suiren, aren’t you?”

“…”

“Can you dare to pretend to be the offspring of Yuma-no-sama, the Lord of the Dirt?”

Maria didn’t respond and just hung her head, staying still.

Dorea’s Seal became even more agitated and shouted.

“You’re doomed to death! If you return to the Holy Land, I’ll make sure everyone knows-“

Suddenly, Meise flashed her eyes and-

Dorea’s Seal’s head vanished.

Seimint released the magic of the entwining and laid the corpse aside.

“Maria-san, are you okay?”

Maria approached Seimint, taking a few steps forward.

And then she thrust the blood-soaked Meise into Seimint’s face.

“I’m a Suiren, you know, so keep it a secret, okay?”

Seemint smiled without blinking an eye.

“It’s not threatening, but asking, okay?”

Maria glanced at Seemint for a moment before turning around and adjusting her veil again.

Seemint suddenly grabbed Maria from behind.

“What, what’s going on?”

“Just wanted to do this, I guess.”

***

A little while ago, Dorea and Maria had just escaped from the real world.

Cat rushed towards Commander Tantegren, and just in front of the sword’s attack range, she threw an explosive shell at his face.

“Ah!”

Commander Tantegren calmly parried it with his sword, keeping a distance.

As the sword attack was about to hit Cat, she took a big step back.

Commander Tantegren immediately pursued her, swinging his sword.

“Good grief!”

The clothes ripped off Cat’s body, and the explosive devices she had hidden away fell to the floor.

Tanjett stepped back calmly, readjusting his posture and speaking up.

“That’s not just a rumor, it’s the truth!”

Cat’s expression turned sour as he gazed at Tanjett’s overly relaxed demeanor.

“Good grief, I’m still sitting here!”

Just then, Seimint’s voice echoed from behind.

“Can I help you two?”

Cat responded immediately.

“Don’t interfere!”

As Cat had predicted, if Seimint intervened, it would only put her in harm’s way.

Her magic was strong, but it took a while to activate.

In that moment, there was no way the assassin could miss.

Tanjett’s expression turned sour.

“Are you really okay on your own?”

“It can’t be like that, can it?”

“Even if you say you’ll substitute me for the T-rail, I’m not that weak, am I?”

The cat nonchalantly scratched its head and responded.

“It’s not that kind of thing, but I’m quite strong, you know.”

“Really? You think I’m strong enough to substitute for the T-rail?”

“In a 1:1 duel, even the T-rail would lose to me.”

“Hoo.”

Tandjet Major drew his sword and said.

“Then let’s see it once.”

The cat took out three small coins from the deepest part of its waist pouch.

“As you wish.”
