A Failed Knight Who Went to the Academy To Get Married

088. secret feast

The pharmacist’s conference work did not end until late evening.

“I learned a lot today thanks to Teacher Yuril and Teacher Saymint!”

“Then let’s talk together again tomorrow!”

“Yes, Teacher Shuring, Teacher Ryung. Thank you.”

“See you all tomorrow~”

After Yuril and Saymint parted ways with the other pharmacists.

Seimint said to Yuril.

“Yuril, I have somewhere to stop by, so I’ll be away for a while.”

“Yes. Then, I’ll see you in the room later.”

When Yuril, who was alone, was about to leave the conference hall,

A woman with horn-shaped glasses approached her.

“Are you Yuril?”

“Oh, yes. You-”

Yuril was about to ask her name when he realized something.

This woman before his eyes was clearly the witch Trine had met.

“My name is Beluga. Nice to meet you.”

“nice to meet you.”

“Isn’t it surprising that you too were pursuing the path of a pharmacist?”

“I’m sorry, but do you know anything about me?”

When Yuril asked in a flirtatious manner, Beluga smiled mischievously.

“Hehe, there’s no need to pretend you don’t know. You already know who I am.”

When Yuril became wary of her and retreated,

Beluga looked a little embarrassed.

“Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to scare you.”

“Why are you talking to me?”

“I was also an attendee of the conference to begin with, and since it was an old meeting, I just said hello.”

“…….”

“Besides, I purely liked your presentation today.”

Beluga held out his hand and offered to shake it.

“I will support you and Trine’s love.”

Yuril held the hand and made a nervous expression.

“thank you.”

“I would like to suggest something more than that.”

A witch’s suggestion.

Is it also for the purpose of taking advantage of the relationship between himself and Trine?

Yuril decided to refuse no matter what he heard.

But an odd sound came out of the beluga’s mouth.

“Would you like to become my disciple?”

“…yes?”

Beluga let go of Yuril’s hand and smiled brightly.

“I don’t have any particular meaning. I just want to have a pharmacist apprentice for the first time in a long time.”

Yuril answered calmly.

“Thank you for the offer, but honestly I don’t trust you at all.”

“Hehe, that can’t be helped.”

Beluga turned around and said.

“If you’re interested, please come see me with Trine at any time.”

Yuril stared at Beluga’s receding back for a while.

Soon, Sia’s communication bird flew by.

“Sister! After the conference is over, do you want to come out and have dinner together?”

… When Yuril came out of the hotel, Sia and Trine were waiting, holding each other’s hands tightly.

There was no way Sia would pull a prank like that in front of Yuril, so I asked her.

“What are you doing?”

“Sister, come and hold your hand too!”

Sia grabbed Yuril’s hand with her free hand and pushed it towards Trine.

In the end, Yuril reluctantly took Trine’s hand.

Three people standing in a circle holding each other’s hands in front of the conference hall.

As the people around them smiled happily, Yuril glared at them and asked.

“Are you going to perform some sort of summoning ritual?”

“Do you know that your life is being threatened by an angel?”

“I heard it yesterday.”

“So me and my sister will protect our senior.”

Yuril opened her mouth as if to say something, and then,

Soon, he let go of Sia’s hand and started walking ahead, pulling the train.

“I’m hungry. Let’s go get dinner.”

Trine shouted as he was dragged away.

“Wait! Why aren’t you letting go too!”

Sia also stepped forward and pulled the trine.

“Finally trying something harem-like?”

Just looking at Trine’s expression, he looked like a cow being dragged to the slaughterhouse rather than a harem.

***

Sia took the two to the ultra-luxurious restaurant she had just made a reservation for.

The restaurant that Trine went to with the men yesterday looked shabby.

“This is a reservation-only restaurant that only accepts royals and dukes. And today we rented it out.”

As Sia spoke proudly while sitting in front of the table, Trine smiled bitterly.

“It’s like Shia.”

“Right? You can’t come to a place like this without me.”

“That’s not true, we rented it out on purpose so that no one could overhear our conversation.”

Sia looked a little surprised at those words,

He immediately said with a small smile.

“As expected, you are the only person who can make my heart flutter.”

Yuril helped from the side.

“It’s definitely because Sia trained me well, so my senses have improved a lot compared to before.”

Trine muttered.

“Training is freezing.”

The two women laughed for a moment, then Sia spoke to them with a serious expression.

“Senior, can you tell me in detail what the current situation is?”

As Trine opened his mouth, he noticed the waiter who had come in to deliver the food.

Then Sia said.

“It’s okay. This place has stricter security and secrecy than you could imagine.”

… Eventually, Trine slowly began to explain.

It is true that as long as Grokath and Senior Myungyoon are present, Gohyeop cannot approach Trine carelessly.

But some unsettling factors remain.

However, there is no guarantee that Gohyeop will not target people other than Trine.

For example, taking someone else hostage,

Or even cause a natural disaster like Teor Volcano.

“Of course, as long as Myungyoon senior is around, I won’t be able to do anything that goes against the rules or something.”

Second, Gohyeop may have a collaborator.

Actually, this is the biggest problem.

Last night, Gohyeop was targeting Trine by himself and was caught by Myeongyoon.

Trine suspects that he was captured on purpose to trick people into thinking he was alone.

“Third and final… I cannot completely trust Grokath and Senior Myungyoon.”

First of all, Grokarth helps Trine for some reason, so there is no need to worry about that part.

However, because he is a very free-spirited and impulsive person, his actions are unpredictable.

Moreover, senior Myungyoon…

“I don’t even know why senior Myung-yoon decided to help me.”

Sia asked, gathering her thoughts for a moment.

“Why did Myungyoon find out about this incident in the first place?”

Trine answered that question in a somewhat annoyed voice.

“Grokat came to see me in the student council room and exposed everything in front of senior Myungyoon.”

Sia sympathized with Trine.

“It must have been a disaster.”

Yuril took a sip of wine and asked Trine.

“So what precautions have you prepared?”

“Huh? There are no special preparations yet-”

“Don’t lie again. There’s no way you could have stayed quiet in this situation.”

Due to Yuril’s threats, Trine eventually revealed all of his cards.

“I asked senior Myung-yoon to secretly install a wiretapping device on Go-hyeop.”

“That was a very good move.”

“However, Senior Myung-yoon set a condition that only he would hear the contents of the wiretapping.”

“Why on earth are those conditions?”

“They say that if humans dare to know the secrets of angels, they will be punished… but there was still a harvest.”

Trine took out the Diamond 10 card he received from senior Myeong-yoon at the casino.

There was small writing on it.

‘Altoro land. 7 people. Disguised as an employee.’

Sia asked, looking back and forth at the card.

“Then I guess it would be a good idea to cancel our plan to go back to Altoro Land tomorrow?”

“If we do that, the wiretapping may be discovered, and the other party will come up with a new strategy.”

After Trine got the card back, he tore it into pieces.

“We decided to capture him alive after securing evidence that he violated the rules in Altoro Land.”

“Isn’t it too dangerous?”

“Grakkath and Myeong-yoon were to take over the task of capturing him alive, and all I had to do was run away.”

“There is a possibility that seniors can be used as a throwaway term, like Pyrrol and Locke did before.”

“So, I have prepared some things separately.”

Trine took out two items from his arms.

One is a small red stone.

“Perception-impairing magic doesn’t work on angels, but this definitely works.”

The other is a rolled up rubber flooring.

“It’s a simple teleportation device connected to Cat’s workshop. It can only be used two or three times.”

Yuril muttered with a somewhat puzzled expression.

“You’ve been doing a lot of things on your own, keeping it a secret from us all this time.”

“I said I was sorry about that.”

Yuril took out a small vial from her pocket and handed it to Trine.

“It’s a medicine that temporarily detoxifies your poison. It lasts 10 minutes.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Then Sia intervened.

“Actually, I have prepared something in advance just in case something like this happens.”

Then he suddenly clapped twice in a somewhat arrogant pose.

Then, suddenly, three waiters approached at the same time and stood side by side behind Sia.

“Let me introduce you! These are Artoria’s best ABI agents that my mother lent me.”

Then Trine’s eyes widened.

“ABI?! Wasn’t that an urban legend?”

ABI, intelligence agents directly under the control of the Artoria royal family.

The three people introduced themselves in order.

“It’s a lantern.”

“It’s a poodle.”

“It’s Shirou~.”

… The moment when Sia turned around in shock at the last familiar name she heard-

“Oh, my sweet little brother! Your brother came personally for you!”

Prince Shirou stroked Sia’s head.

“aaah! Help me! Senpai! Sister! Please kill this person quickly!”

Trine and Yuril were momentarily embarrassed as they saw Sia looking genuinely horrified.

Prince Shirou approached the two this time and wiggled the fingers of both hands.

“No need to be so jealous, right? Because I love you both as much as Sia!”

“I decline!”

“If you come, I’ll really cut you!”

“Now, now! Don’t hesitate and come into my arms!”

… The store, which had been quiet for a while, quickly became a chaos of chase and chase.

***

At that time, Maria was on the roof of the hotel.

She muttered as she picked up the angel feather that had fallen on the floor.

“What on earth should I do?”

… The reason why Maria remained after the demons’ invasion of the academy was over was because

Because her second mission still remained.

It monitors Trine and the people around him,

If it is determined that he is causing harm to the god Yumano, remove him.

Yumano Seongguk still dismisses the fact that Trine received Yumano’s stigmata as a lie.

Ultimately, Mary was a body that had to follow the instructions of the Holy Kingdom.

furthermore… I accepted the offer.

‘Trine has already broken the rules of heaven. God Yumano will be pleased if you kill him yourself.’

Now that Yumano’s name has been mentioned, we cannot ignore it.

Moreover, she has done even worse things and now has no right to hesitate to kill her friend.

only…

I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.

“Yumano, please show me the right path.”

Mary put her hands together and prayed.

If Yumano-sama speaks directly, she will not hesitate to turn Trine into an enemy.

However, Yumano never once answered Maria’s prayer.

“Yumano-sama, what on earth should I do?”

… Suddenly, what the priest said came to mind.

‘Being honest with yourself is the only way to hear her voice.’

Maria ignored the priest, saying he was not a very serious member of the church.

‘So the question you should ask is not what you should do, but what you want to do.’

But for some reason, it was only now that I remembered his words again.

“I… what do I want to do?”

After hesitating alone for a while, Maria finally…

“Yumano is our heart, and suffering is his ordeal.”

Maria took out her mace with a determined look on her face.

“That is why it is Yumano-sama’s will to swing the mace.”
