Chapter 110 – Before the Storm on the Floating Island

“Huh~”

She is a woman with the appearance of a girl wearing a costume that looks like a wizard or a witch with high exposure to the point of being a prostitute at first glance.

Lenea, the principal of Pryunar Academy, yawned as she stretched on the sofa.

“Principal. It’s not rude.”
“A person younger than me is rude to an adult? What are you talking about?”

The principal grumbles at Blut’s words.
Seeing her like that, Blut sighs at her and Alfred shrugs her shoulders.
Currently, they are in the general office.

It is a place to see and adjust the overall situation of the floating island.
It was also the space the principal used to manage the spells granted to the floating island.
As it is such an important place, security is absolutely tight.

Several layers of thick iron gates and magical defenses. Numerous surveillance systems.
Even if they managed to break through all the difficulties, they would have to deal with monsters called instructors at the academy, and even if they made it to the control room, they would not be able to do anything without the headmaster with total authority.

Currently, the principal seems to be doing nothing but rolling around, but the situation of all the streets is being transmitted to his retinas.
Processing potentially thousands of pieces of information at once was a miracle close to magic.

“By the way, I’m a reporter. Why are you so upset?”

Looking at the exceptionally quiet subordinate today, the principal asked in a plaintive voice.

“…What do I mean?”
“What is it? You look worried on your face.”
Haha. It seems that the eyes that have been shining for so many years have finally faded.”
“…Do you want to be beaten?”

The principal rolls his eyes at the reporter who is making a joke.
As she said, the reporter was not the usual laid-back yet dignified figure, but a little bit intimidated.

“Hmph. Have you finally remembered your mistake?”

I’m a reporter who laughs weakly at the words of Blut’s day.
It was referring to an incident in which someone brought something and messed up the academy’s magic.

“Everyone knows. He’s reflecting. We’ve prepared an event to erase that mistake.”
“I’d love to see if there’s an event to cover up that colossal mistake.”

It was sarcastic, but if that reporter, Ire, was properly prepared, I would definitely miss her as a magician and as a scholar.

“By the way, what is Instructor Emily doing apart from Gwen and Mullin?”

Blurt asked the principal.

“He’s not even a kid, he’s probably doing his job and wandering around where he wants to go~”

The principal’s trust in the witch, who was quiet but sure of getting things done, was ironclad.

“Um… As far as I know, he’s usually confined to his house or lab. It seems like he rarely goes around.”

She didn’t ask for the location, she asked for the purpose.
Witches usually have a strong tendency to stay at home.
Emily was no exception, but she was out on the street today for some reason.
Since you can’t figure out where you are now, you must be moving with stealth magic.
What are you going to do with such an annoyance?

“I heard you’re looking for someone.”
“Yes? Who…?”
“Did you find out yourself?”
“Principal.”

The headmaster was disgusted with the rebuking tone.

“Uh. Be strict.”

The principal, who jumped up from the sofa, entered the entrance as if he was frustrated. She emerged through a hatch in the ceiling.

“No, where are you going when you’re not working?”
“I’m going to rest in preparation for the hero festival in the evening~ You guys can do other things as you like, but you want me to be strict and prepare perfectly for the hero festival?”
“No…”

Blurt was dumbfounded by the headmaster’s confident negligence.

“Oh, really. Vice-principal?”

Title, not name.
Seeing the reporter raising her head, she smiled brightly.

“It seemed like there was a plan behind it, but it seems that it didn’t go well? Then stop doing anything else and prepare for the Hero Festival. Okay?”
“Yes. Principal. That’s what I originally intended.”

Lenea opened her mouth a little and was taken aback.

“For some reason, he’s so innocent. It’s even more suspicious. Whatever you report to me, do it without mistakes. If you make a mistake, I’ll punish you.”

After that, the headmaster slipped through the door without even opening the door before Blut had time to grab hold of him.

Blut was about to pursue it, but gave up.
No matter where he goes, he will definitely return in time for the Hero Festival.

The Hero Festival is the best main event that the principal, who is the actual owner of the floating island, has insisted on for a long time.
Since it has already become a specialty for a long time, it was necessary to thoroughly prepare as she said.

“Eh. Tsk tsk. It’s because he hates work too.”
“Because I am a child.”

Blurt opened his mouth a little at the words that were more violent than his own, then closed it.

“…Excuse me, Alfred?”
“Moreover, what is the trend of stranger killers?”

At Alfred’s words, Blut replied while grumbling.

“Hmm. I thought Prince Kaiche completely drove Almiraj, but he seems to have missed it. Fortunately, there were no casualties because the people gathered under the hero were so prominent.”
“Is it.”

Anyway, so far no major problems.
Yes.
The degree to which one mansion was blown up was not an accident from the point of view of Fryunar Academy, and it could be rectified.

There will be no casualties.
No matter what accident happened, I was confident that I would completely rectify it.

In fact, among the strangers, a group of madmen, there was no way that there would be a crazy guy who had an accident on this floating island, except for the crazy guy Almiraj.

“Any other instructors?”
“Hmm? Who?”
“Have you noticed the trend of instructors other than Emily?
“Can I know?”

The instructors were all selfish, so it was difficult to figure out what they were doing.
Still, the work ethic is firmly embedded, so you will be doing what you are entrusted with.

“Okay?”

Alfred answered nonchalantly and stared at the monitor that showed the whole view of the floating island.
An unknown chill passed through his eyes.

***

Haha. Look at that. Ashita. Isn’t it really cool?”

A handsome man with a greasy but nobility point pointed at a fish swimming in the sky.
Those fish are a defense system that protects the floating island, and they don’t usually show up much. It is a thousand words.
It is said that if there is someone who has a mighty Ryunar nearby, they will flock to it, but today there are a lot of them.

“Huh? How do you look?”
“Yes. It looks great.”

The handsome man’s name is Medeus Plain Boy.
The lover next to her is named Ashita Lacey.
Even her boyfriend’s words, she’s just casual.
Still, it was different from her usual way of trying to please her.

Medeus was well aware of his relationship with Asita.
He and Ashita are in a romantic relationship, but rather than lovers, they are only visible on the surface like exhibits in a gallery, but in reality they are using each other.

That’s why, originally, they had to look friendly on the outside.
If it were Fengso’s Asita, she would have agreed to Medeus’ words and she would have let out a laugh on the outside, pretending to be amused.

Today was different.
I didn’t like it very much when he gave a short answer with a dead expression on his face.

‘A haughty year.’

I was annoyed.
We’ve been dating for a long time, but we haven’t had that common skinship.
I wanted to force it, but I couldn’t. Even though her family was insignificant, her father was Apiz Laceya, one of the ‘Five Swordsmen’, famous as one of the best in the kingdom.

Medeus’ family Plain Boy has a great influence with his power and strength.

Even with that Ashita, she is not an ordinary woman.
Even though she had a grim expression, she was so beautiful that it caught the attention of those around her.
Whether she is a man or a woman, there is no one who does not look back, and that made Medeus shrug his shoulders and stiffen her neck.

…Not just the neck, but other parts as well. Stiffen up

Neither Apiz nor Ashita could treat her carelessly as they had inexhaustible value in the future.

‘Shit. Anyway, there is a degree. Are you ignoring me too much?’

When will this motherfucker really start to treat herself?
Blood from the Plain Boy family. Like his ancestors, Medeus met several women even though he had a lover.

It was instinctive, but it was also to incur Ashita’s jealousy.
But there was absolutely no reaction at all.

‘Someday I’ll definitely put it under my stomach.’

Confession heard from several women.
Even this beautiful, haughty woman next to her smirked that she would be no different if she was crushed under his stomach.
Until that day comes, she will have to be merciful.

Standing next to him, Ashita was well aware of her boyfriend’s dirty desires, but she didn’t even care about hers now.
Normally, she would have been in a bad mood, but now she was just indifferent.
All her attention was now on Dre.
She was exactly about the information she heard from May Yal over the communicator that she had just run off alone to buy her a drink.

The two were sharing information about each other’s current situation and planning how to talk to Dre.

‘You bought May Yar this and that, and she gave Claritt her prize?’

Eagle Eagle.

An inexplicable feeling surges in her heart.
Like the bastard who cheated on her, she assumed that other women were being cheated on as well.
Maybe the red-haired woman she saw then was also being tricked by Dre.
Burning at that moment. Anger rising like a volcano.

…What.

Ashita suddenly thought.
Why am I angry now
She’s a bad guy who is deceiving her, so it’s right that she shouldn’t even care anymore.

‘…Ah yes! Friend! It’s because I’m worried about my friends being fooled by that guy!’

Ashita, who came to a conclusion, gave a satisfied smile, albeit for a moment.
And she remembered the evening she was about to come.

Then Mayall said that Dre had something to say to Ashita.
It’s not the same to be honest, but I’ll have to listen to the last excuse.

‘…I never gave you anything like a present. Never. Never get angry I won’t forgive you.’

While thinking so, Ashita was thinking about the evening to meet Dre, hoping to get away from the trash next to her.

***

“A hero system?”
“Huh!”

Mayal replied with a bright smile.
It is the main event held on the night of the festival.
Simply put, it is a screening of movies using the sky as a screen.

The theme of the film is the journey of a ten hero.
It was an event suitable for a floating island where many teenage families were stationed and their final fight took place.
It will probably be aired in two parts.

“Because our principal is preparing with all his might for the Hero Festival! Is the video very dynamic?”
“Hmm.”
“That’s why I sit next to Ashita, listen to her, sympathize with her, and apologize at the end. Then you’ll accept it reluctantly, right?”
“It’s a perfect plan.”
“Isn’t it? Hehe.”

It is the afternoon of a sky with a red-hot sunset.
Already looking forward to the night.

“Um! I’ll watch it from the side too!”
“…Don’t worry. Did you hear me? You said we should be left alone?”

To May Yal, who smiled grimly, our gold proudly stretched out her chest.

“I hear you, but why should I get out of the way?”
“Eh, huh?”
“I was looking forward to watching the Hero Festival with my brother too! I’ll tolerate it with tolerance for about 30 minutes, but after that, it’s none of my business!”
“…You really haven’t changed since you were young.”

Seeing May Yal shake her head at her sly, her wry smile comes out.
Gold is still mature enough, but in relation to me, he’s like a kid.
It may seem like he did it on purpose.
But, I’m very happy with that. Like, with my dad…
…
…

By the way, I succeeded in holding hands secretly with Repelt.
Big. Exciting. The feeling of this secret relationship.
Now I’m going to touch the secret part.
That Lehfeldt would hate it? Well…

“…”

Even now, when you see me looking at me with blushing cheeks, it seems like I’m rather looking forward to it.
Hehe. There’s still time until evening, so until then, I’ll make progress…

“Dre.”
“…?”

What.
According to someone, it was the same thief whom he had seen earlier during the day and who was said to be a friend of Kite’s.

“Kaitz-sama is calling.”
“So it is.”
“…?”
“…?”

No. What do you say when that bastard is calling?

“Are you serious?”

Seeing the thief whose eyes turn ferocious, a snort comes out.

“Then?”
“…What?”
“What?”

He wanted to raise his spirits, so I raised him too.
Then she looked a little surprised…

Gira, not mana.
From what I’ve felt so far, dealing with Ki is harder than mana, and it’s usually focused on strengthening the body.

It may be stronger than you think.
Anyway, I’m stronger.

“Rabband Barland.”

Gold quietly called the thief by name.

“Did the hero Kaitsu intimidate your older brother?
“…”
“Your answer will determine his dignity.”
“…The latter, of course.”
“Then behave accordingly. I will go with you.”

Gold sends a signal to accept with his eyes, to go with him.
In Gold’s opinion, the situation seems impossible to refuse.
If so what have to follow

“Let’s go.”
“You did well…”
“Before that, please apologize for the earlier rudeness.”
“…?”
“Don’t hate it.”

When I really turned my back and walked away, the female thief rap band was bewildered.
Then, as if he knew that I was serious, he said in a crawling voice.

“I apologize for my inappropriate behavior. Please forgive my rudeness.”
“All right. Let’s go.”

There are all bastards like this in rap bands, right? I looked at him with a puzzled expression, but I ignored him.
Kitz, what the hell is this fucker, come and go.
I smiled at Mayal, who looked at me anxiously.

“I’ll be there soon, so go to the meeting place first.”
“Yea, I got it.”

Looking at Clary Le, he nods his head wordlessly.
Huh. As expected, it seems like he’s not interested in me!
When I got to Hamart, I was very happy that I would turn it off.
We’ll see you again soon, Sasha.

Refeld and Gold, me and I followed after the female thieves.
The place we arrived at was unexpectedly close, but it was an ordinary house.
However, once inside, it is quiet and dark, as if no one lives there at all.

…Isn’t this a trap?

However, soon after opening one of the first-floor doors, she saw the face of the unlucky Kaitsu, and she knew it was not a trap.

Inside the room, mirror-like magic circles were broadcasting scenes from all kinds of places.

“Welcome, Dre.”
“Hello, Mr. Kaitz. Let’s start with the main topic.”
“No.”

The rap band next to me made an expression of wanting to argue with my words, but Kitz laughed.

“I want to ask for your cooperation in capturing Almiraj.”
“What I was trying to help is the Demon King’s descent, and there’s still a week left, so why should I help?”

Rabband has lost his temper.
Is it because you think my attitude is too disrespectful?
But no.

“Kaitz-nim. Did you tell Iza everything?”
“He was the one who told me about Almiraz in the first place. He’s a man you can trust.”
“…”

The eyes have changed
Why is that thing blowing me up? Feel bad

“Dre-sama. How was Almiraj actually?”

I even know of a brief encounter with Almiraj during the day.
It’s like a dirty guy.

“…Well, it was worse than I thought.”

It was.
Although strong, it was hard to consider him the infamous slayer of strangers.
But Katz smiled.

“At first glance, it’s just a matter of saving power. His true value begins after he changes.”
“Does it change?”
“Yes. So, I would like to borrow Dre-sama’s powerful attack power.”
“…”

Why is this bastard answering Dongmunseo?

But do I really need to borrow my power?
The attack power should be similar to me and Kitz.

Since I am a stranger, I may be rather weak against the overwhelming Almiraj because I don’t have enough experience in combat with strangers to the point where I’m nicknamed the stranger killer.
He’s not the one who doesn’t know that.

This bastard Maybe… Are you trying to imprint me on your colleagues?
Or do you have other intentions?
…Thinking about it is annoying.
Whatever the intention, it just needs to be done quickly.

“Let’s finish quickly. I have an appointment.”
“You’re really disrespectful. Master Dre. I wouldn’t ask you to be polite to the hero, but aren’t you being too rude beyond that?”

This time it was Marie.
I saw it standing on the wall, but I ignored it.
Gold stepped in at Marie’s words.

“You were the one who ignored the promised period and called it at will. Isn’t it?”
“Is the heir of the Heart family arguing about the hero’s cause?”

Gold was at ease with Marie’s nervous attitude.

“Since when did the hero and his companions intimidate people like this? It’s absurd. Cardinal.”
“…!”

Mari tried to say something, but Kitz stopped her.
You lose an argument with me too, but will you be an opponent to Gold?
Aigoo twist it haha
However, when Marie bowed down with her sorry face and apologized sincerely, she laughed inwardly.

The kid has a quick temper, so he’s really nice…

“Excuse me. Mr. Dre. Mr. Gold. I really need your help for a moment. Please.”
“Hmm. I’m willing to help at any time if it’s the hero ball’s request. However, I want each other to be polite.”
“Of course.”

Why is your tongue so long?

“Let’s start soon.”
“Ah. Please wait a bit.”
“How much?”

I didn’t ask why.
No matter what, it is clear that there must be a reason.

“It’s time to jump right in when the Heroic Festival begins.”
“…”

Fuck.
I’ll be a little late for my appointment.
Ashita Lee Ki-bae. Isn’t that more annoying?

“The reason is that there is a way to completely nullify Almiraj’s unusual powers at that time.”
“All right.”

I sat down on a nearby chair in silence.
Marie and Rabband looked at each other with surprise, but quickly withdrew their gaze.

In the meantime, Gold and Kitz had a conversation.
A large number of knights were put in, but Almiraz was not caught and only injured.
Even though Al Mizra is an empty place without people, she bursts into a private house without hesitation.

I stopped talking, and Kitz looked at me and said.

“Oh, Mr. Dre. What promise did you make with your friends?”
“…”
“Dre?”
“…”

Don’t talk to me, bitch.
Gold answered instead.

“In the evening, my friends and my brother, the new instructor, decided to have time to get to know each other. The place is the great mage’s rest.”
“Aha. What a wonderful place.”

The Great Mage’s Rest.

It has a grandiose name, but the reality is an ordinary pub.
However, it was a bar frequented by the great mage who established the system of magic and this floating island.
The food is very delicious and tasteful, so I’m looking forward to it.

It was such a boring time.
Soon, a dark night came outside.

And.

Puffer puffer

Firecrackers explode.

Haha! All of you who came to Floating Island today! Hello!!]

…I think I heard this voice somewhere.
Uh… Blurt installments?
Really? That picky installment?
What is this solicitor mode?

A smile bloomed on my lips without my knowledge.
I’ll have to play around with this later.

[The time you all look forward to the most has arrived! The best blockbuster depicting the journey of ten heroes! Name the life of a ten hero!! Kya!! Illegal shooting is okay! But even if you watch it illegally, you won’t be able to see it in person, right?]
“…”
[Everyone listen to the popcorn! Get a drink too! And get ready to open your mouth at the video quality! Yahoo!!]

Hmm.
How are you going to tease your grandpa later?

“It always starts with the teenage family symbol and the appearance of Pryunar.”

It was Katz’s words.
…Fryunar?

“I used to make them look as close to them as possible, but Fryunarman said otherwise. His records are virtually non-existent, almost imaginary.”
“No records?”
“Yes. That’s why historians often say that Fryunar is a fictional character for the despairing people of the time.”
“Hmm.”

He replied nonchalantly, as if he was not interested, but honestly, I was curious about who the important keyword in this world was, Pryunar.
Will his performance appear in the movie?
Before long, a hologram large enough to be seen from this distance began to emerge.
From afar, the cheers of the residents can be heard like an echo.

Katz added an explanation.

“Although it is said to be transmitted to the entire sky, it will be inconvenient to watch with just that, so it will be simultaneously transmitted in a size suitable for each zone.”
“Explainer.”
“…Yes?”

As if asking what that means, Chewyz asks back.
Looking at the insect-bitten expression, I understood this bastard.
Then I’m going to go watch a movie.

“You should prepare to rush in soon.”

A handsome chewy who pours cold water as if I read my thoughts.
Come or come I’m going to finish it quickly and go to the kids and apologize for being late.

But even when I wake up, I can’t take my eyes off the sky.
A hologram that looks like a huge giant.
One figure looked like a typical adventurer’s outfit, and it looked like the outfit of my world.
Prunar slowly turned his head, and the ten heroes who appeared beside him also turned their heads.
And the screen spins around as if the camera is spinning, showing the front of the ten heroes and Fryunar…

…?

What. Weird.
The ten heroes looked pretty similar to what I saw in the cinematic. At least that’s the back view.
But the front, the face feels uncomfortable. No, it’s obviously weird.
Faces that don’t fit the body.
By the time he reached Prunar, he was wearing a hood.
Are you broadcasting a play, not a movie, by any chance?

“Hey. Are you doing a play right now?”

Looking to the side, Gold’s expression was very serious.
He had a look of disbelief.
Katz hardened his face.

[Hello everyone! Floating Islanders!!]

…Broadcasting.
No, no.
The air and atmosphere changed completely.
The echoing shouts had long since ceased.

[Hello! I’ll start introducing myself right away. We are strangers that you hate! It’s a mother!!]

Murderer.

The guys who said they would only come in a week have now appeared.
Now I get it
The sense of incongruity of that hologram was that only the faces of the mothers were attached to their bodies in the video of the ten heroes.
It’s just weird.
That’s because the heroes who looked like women at first glance had male faces attached to them.
They were grinning unpleasantly.

[Cut down and get to the point! I’ve set up bomb tricks all over the floating island!! And in a little while, the more difficult devil among the demon lords of Purgatory 2 is going to descend here!!]

Buzz buzz.
Sensitive hearing heard the anxious whispers of the people from afar.

[Not only that, but they also took hostages! The biggest tavern that everyone loves. You have taken over the great mage’s rest! Hey There are so many great people like a famous place. What is it? Huh?]

…What?
At that moment, Fryunar’s, no, the corner of his mother’s mouth was slit.

[We have only one condition. It’s so damn simple, you fucking bastards.]

Murderer said nothing.

[Give me the authority of the floating island. Otherwise, we’ll bring this island to the ground in a matter of hours. Before that, I’ll break the heads of five of the bastards in this archmage’s rest every hour.]

The moment I heard those words, my head and heart became cold to the extent that even I was surprised.
…Under.

I’m fucking and I’m sleepy. To turn around
