I Became the Laughing Bell Character of the Academy

Chapter 96

While chatting with Arrieta.

About 5 hours passed.

“… … I’ll come back in a little while.”

“Yes, Arrieta. … … But not today, let’s do it next time.”

Arrieta couldn’t hide her displeasure.

No, it’s 5 hours.

After five hours of talking, is there still anything left to say?

No matter how warm the atmosphere is, I couldn’t even eat a simple meal with my eyes open.

I didn’t want to break this atmosphere, so I endured it, but wouldn’t it be enough if we chatted for 5 hours?

There will be plenty of time in the future.

“Ah, but a little more… … .”

“… … Many of you will be waiting. Arrieta.”

The guy who usually watches the situation over here from the window.

Arrieta must have noticed the presence of Lucia, who was restlessly watching from outside the window.

I don’t know if this is because of jealousy or regret, but Arrieta didn’t hesitate even though she knew she was waiting outside.

It is said that this side had no choice but to respond to the reaction as if it did not know anything.

After barely coaxing Arrieta out of the room, after a while I heard a knock on the window.

I had no choice but to open the window and Lucia entered with a haggard expression.

“Your fishery management skills are quite good, yes. Prince of Oz. It’s amazing.”

As soon as you enter, you get sick.

nope, that’s not the case

“Was it that hot outside?”

“yes… … .”

Lucia, who had been complaining about my question, lowered her head in distress.

She was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Army, as if receiving a commendation from the Vatican for her performance in this work.

Unlike general military uniforms, uniforms are unnecessarily embellished, so the hotness is understandable.

“Is it okay for Tenebris to be so openly active?”

“Because I can’t not do external work. Well, at that time, I used to work as a member of the 8th Corps, but… … .”

“It’s a lot of work. So, does Tenebris’ surface location mean that it’s the 8th Legion?”

“It’s just me. Captain, there shouldn’t be any cases that are revealed on the surface, and most of the rest tend to have problems with personality or abilities… … .”

“That, is it?”

In my opinion, it seems that they are working on the bottom line to send Lucia out of the water completely someday.

What does it mean to say that the rest of us have problems with our personality?

Is your group really good?

“Rather than that, the daily temperature difference in the Vatican is the worst. It was cold in the morning, but hot during the day. How can people live in a place like this?”

“There are better places than this.”

“That is the worst.”

Lucia opened the top of her dress button and began fanning it.

The kid is not very careful.

It was getting hard to look at.

“Rather than that, if you came in as part of the 8th Corps, why are you going in and out through the window? Could I have come formally?”

“hahahaha, do you know how short of breath it is just standing in front of the door to your hospital room?”

“Well… … . Right… … .”

Come to think of it, it’s not wrong.

Having said that, the most famous people in the Vatican right now are Arrieta and I.

Although it is said that the status quo has been maintained, rumors cannot be avoided.

But while Arrieta and I are talking, she keeps waiting in front of the hospital room door?

If it were me, I would die of suffocation at the sight of people.

“As I said beforehand, I am a cat and not a fish, so I have no intention of getting caught in your fishery. The Prince of Oz.”

“… … Isn’t that a beast-hating remark?”

I wanted to refute the fishing ground management, but I couldn’t bear to say it.

So I decided to ask the other side. I was honestly curious too.

Where the hell does the criterion for abhorring beasts come from?

“It’s okay because what I do is self-torture. But you can’t.”

“Isn’t that a bit petty?”

It seems to be a matter that depends on individual emotions.

“Well? I don’t know because I’ve never thought of it that way.”

Lucia shrugged and sat down on the edge of the bed.

I thought about it before, but this guy has a surprisingly close physical distance.

“So, what happened again this time, running to you as soon as I woke up and making you tired?”

“hahahaha, sorry? Prince of Oz. I’m sure you’ll get more tired after hearing the news I brought.”

“you… … . Now I see… … ?”

Suddenly, when I checked Lucia’s face, the area under her eyes was stained black.

Somehow, I thought the distance was closer than usual, but I was tired of my body and mind.

“There is good news, headache news, and crazy news. Which one do you want to hear first?”

“News that will be thrilling.”

“Let me tell you the good news. If you listen to the latter part first, good news won’t reach your ears.”

“… … .”

Are you the answer?

If that’s the case, don’t ask which one you want to hear first.

“First the good news.”

Lucia, who was sitting on the bed as if feeling stiff, laid her body back and stretched as it was.

Being a cat beast, he is quite flexible. However, I didn’t bother to say it because if I said this, I would argue that I hate beastmen.

“Due to your struggles, the number of victims in the Vatican is only in double digits. I salute you.”

“… … That’s good enough news, what.”

To be honest, the news is much more heart-pounding than I expected.

I thought it would have come out dozens of times that. Because it was like that in the game too.

However, there was little damage, whether it was because of the overlapping contrasts or because of [Those who challenged the Divine].

“Well, I can hear this anywhere, so I don’t really have anything to say.”

“is it?”

“Nothing. I used such conspicuous magic, but who wouldn’t know? Prince of Oz. You are quite a celebrity even within the Holy See.”

“There is nothing different from usual.”

“… … That too.”

I’ve been a celebrity ever since.

On the contrary, I can count on my hands the number of times it wasn’t. Moreover, even if it’s just the guy who usually spies on me, there are more than 10 people, including the cat, in front of my eyes.

“Then shall we get to the point now? Let’s start with the news that makes your head hurt. How are you mentally prepared?”

“If you say no, what about later?”

“Noah escaped the Vatican.”

This is really headache-inducing news in many ways.

It’s no wonder that my pun was ignored, but it was unexpected that Eleanor, who had been quiet here, escaped.

Where and in what way could things have turned upside down?

I’m really trying, but I can’t predict his behavior patterns.

“It’s not exactly a breakout, though. I just left right after my conversation with the Holy Father. I don’t know what was said, but he must have been given permission to leave.”

“Well… … . Yes, I will turn around.”

After a conversation with Lucia Domine, I left the Vatican without incident.

There is no particular problem.

In the first place, this uproar broke out, but leaving students alone would not be right as the Vatican’s stance.

However, it is a little different if the target is Lucia Domine and Eleanor.

“What a shameless old man?”

got hit

I guess that damn old man knew about Eleanor.

I’m not sure if that’s because I realized the key through [Contemplation], or if it’s because I’ve met them in the past.

The [contemplation] that Lucia Domine and I possess have the same root, but the direction in which they emerge will be different.

At least Lucia Domine’s eyes won’t see the game’s tooltips. Unlike me who knows the game, it would be quite foreign to Lucia Domine, who is from this world.

“Why didn’t I think of that?”

“Do you know something? … … Oh, that’s okay too. I wish you wouldn’t tell me. I don’t think I’ll be able to handle it if the work increases.”

“I think the Pope and Eleanor knew each other.”

“I told you not to tell me… … !”

What do you know? You did too, so I will too. Wouldn’t it be nice if we got along well and fell into the swamp of headaches?

-I don’t know if it’s my mistake, but uh… … . So, I saw someone who looked very talented.

In ＜Skientia＞ before, after stopping the invasion of [Myungwang] and rescuing Marie.

Eleanor had said that when Arrieta was said to be in critical condition.

-doctor?

-I do not know? Could be a priest.

Not a doctor, but a competent priest.

Eleanor evaded it, saying it was just a feeling, but… … . The choice of words was quite blatant.

So, do you two know each other?

When we first arrived at the Vatican, we acted like we didn’t know each other.

Yes, it’s ‘each other’.

Even if Lucia Domine doesn’t recognize Eleanor, it’s strange that Eleanor doesn’t recognize Lucia.

There should have been some kind of reaction, but the two acted as if they were meeting for the first time.

No, maybe the circumstances in which Eleanor was transported were absurd, so she didn’t get that feeling.

It was because she took first place in the ‘kind-looking woman’ category by manipulating Arrieta.

Even if we had a close relationship, I don’t think we would have wanted to pretend to know each other.

“I don’t know how far the Pope knows about Noah, but I’ll have to check this out separately.”

“You can leave that part to the Prince of Oz… … ?”

Lucia began to speak as if appealing to me with blurry eyes.

Apparently Lucia hasn’t come to her senses yet. Are you crazy?

“Calm down, Lucia. I am not a member of your gang. If you want the information I get, pay a fair price.”

“Prince Oz uses our information from time to time.”

“Then you become famous too.”

Would you rather be sponsored by me?

The information I get is no different from the donations sent to me by the Empire. It is said that this is all a debt of the heart.

“Then shall we move immediately… … .”

I don’t know how stunned I was, but the fact that Lucia is even wearing a uniform means that the confusion has been sorted out to some extent.

If so, it must have been at least three days since Eleanor left the Vatican. You have to move as quickly as possible.

“No, Prince Oz. Wait a minute.”

“Why are you so nasty? I’ll give you the information later, so why don’t you stop?”

“… … I hope you don’t treat me as a nuisance.”

Anything different?

If you really want to claim that’s not the case, I hope you hold on to the hem of my clothes while occupying someone else’s bed and don’t let it hang down.

You think I’ll take care of you just because you stick around like that? I’m not into stray cats.

“Those eyes annoy me, but first I’ll tell you what to say.”

Lucia spoke without hiding her rotting expression.

“There is still news that will make you crazy.”

“That was just… … .”

“Eleanor’s case is head-ache news.”

“… … .”

no. do not do that.

Is there anything worse than this? There can be no there shouldn’t be

“Then it’s exciting news.”

When I looked down at Lucia, who began occupying the bed with a dejected expression, she gently closed her eyes.

What the hell are you preparing your mind for?

“The hero contacted Noah.”

“… … .”

“Was it you before? He seems to know the Pope and Noah.”

She said, running a hand over her tired face.

“This one too. It seems that the hero and Noah know each other.”

dizzy.

I don’t know where to start pointing this out.

But, first of all, the most important thing.

Eleanor is a servant.

The warrior has a similar personality.

“I’ll be thrilled… … .”

As far as I know, it seems like the worst duo has come together.

How the hell did the two of them come together?

* * *

Still before Oz dawns.

Like everyone else, Eleanor was fighting a tough battle.

Just in case you have a problem… … .

“Keugh… … !”

“I see, isn’t it still a power that can be handled naturally?”

The difference in skill between the two was so great that it was incomparable to the fights of the others.

Strength, finesse, physique, speed, experience.

In all respects, Eleanor couldn’t beat Scar.

In the first place, the delay that controls Scar is the boss of Chapter 4. Since it accepted the power of the [Myeongwang] and became stronger, Eleanor had no way to win.

“Hoo-wook… … !”

Eleanor took a deep breath and charged again with her greatsword. A faint golden light lingered above the sword, but… … .

“hahahaha! Aside from that odd quality, it’s a power that’s nothing special.”
