Chapter 90 – Colleagues

Episode 90 – Colleague

I was momentarily dazed and stiff, so I desperately tried to control my emotions and frowned.

“Are you saying that too? “What is the reason?”

“Why?”

“Okay. “I met Scadia just now, so you know the rumors are false.”

“To be exact, only the rape incident and the fact that the culprit was Luan are lies. “It’s not a rumor that the masked man with silver eyes is a possessor.”

“…”

I was at a loss for words.

Deborah is right. What has been found to be false is only part of the rumor, and the authenticity of the rest has not yet been determined.

But being sure is another thing.

Without admitting my identity, I reflected on Deborah’s thoughts of her.

“Okay. Let’s say the rumor is true. Still, the culprit could have been in disguise. “There won’t be any evidence that it’s me, right?”

“That’s right. But there is other evidence.”

“Other evidence?”

“Yes. “My eyes.”

Deborah pointed her index finger to her own eye.

The transparent purple eyes of her occasionally sparkled like jewels and gave off brilliance.

It reminds me of the stars in the night sky.

I understood what Deborah meant.

“… “Is not being able to see the future proof of someone being possessed?”

“Yes. In fact, when I first met Luan, what I saw was not Luan’s future, but my future. I saw the rape scene. That’s why I was calm in the cave. Because I already knew. I just felt like something was coming.”

“Ha… So?”

“After that, I was curious. Why can’t I see the future? So I tried it a little bit. I took the lens out and looked at others. Then, I could see the future without exception. Even the priests who received God’s protection could not avoid my eyes. Of course, a few people may be able to deal with it.”

Deborah’s foresight has the power to read the movements of the heavens through the blessing of her starlight.

In other words, it is possible for strong people who have reached level 400 or higher to participate in fate itself to escape Deborah’s foresight her.

Of course, other high-ranking clergy members even block the power of God.

But I am neither of those.

“I still don’t understand. “That alone makes me a possessor?”

“More than anything, it is clear evidence. Ruan, Ye Jian sees the future. That applies to anyone who touches the realm of the star that blessed me. So, the fact that the Foresight Eye doesn’t work means that it comes from outside the realm of stars. Is it wrong?”

“…”

There is no room for excuses anymore.

If I am this confident, then whatever I say will be meaningless, and I don’t want to go to such lengths to deny it.

After a long sigh, I finally admitted that Deborah’s prediction was correct.

“That’s right. As you said, I am a possessor.”

“Of course!”

“So what are you going to do now? Are you going to report me to the church?”

I wonder how the saint will react if she finds out my identity.

Deborah shook her head as she pictured a future that never came in her mind for a moment.

“No? Why me? “I don’t do that.”

“Really? “I might help the Dark Church and plunge this world into darkness.”

“That can’t be possible!”

“How can you be sure?”

“The Luan I know is not that kind of person. “I only believe what I see!”

There was no wavering in Deborah’s eyes.

She was not swayed by the world’s judgment and rumors and she looked at me as I am.

That firm faith and trust pushed away the anxiety that was deep in my heart. The warmth makes me smile.

‘I’m going to fall in love like this.’

Maybe you’ve already fallen in love.

Without any hesitation, I suppressed my pounding heart and pretended like nothing was wrong.

“Then why did you bother to reveal what you noticed? If you’re not going to do anything anyway, you can just keep it a secret.”

In response to her question, Deborah seemed nervous, clasped her hands together, wriggled around, and took out her business.

“… “I want to ask you something.”

“What do you want to ask?”

“Yes. I heard that possessed people know the future. “Is it true?”

“… “I know about big events.”

So much has already changed from the game, so I don’t know if the future developments will be the same, but even excluding that, there’s a lot we know.

At least what was planned before the possessors showed up will remain the same.

“Then… Do you even know about my future?”

“Okay. “What do you want to ask?”

“For example, my surroundings. So, about Master…”

Was that what you wanted to ask?

I immediately read Deborah’s true thoughts and stopped her mid-sentence.

“I know. At least Roxana Sprouse dies in the future.”

“Ah… I see. Really, I know the future.”

Deborah fluttered her eyes.

Relief. Anticipation. Pleasure. Sadness.

Various emotions intersect in her expression.

This is because her thought that she was born with wisdom and that she would not be empathized with for the rest of her life she has now been shattered.

I am the only person she can confide in about her worries that have been on her mind for over 10 years.

She asked in detail, trying to suppress her overflowing emotions.

“Do you even know the exact time? When… “What happened caused Master to pass away?”

“… Approximately. But a lot has already changed, so the timing could change. Of course, even if it were, it would have to be at least next fall.”

“Autumn… There is now one year left.”

As it is an incident where Roxana dies, all the people involved in it are great.

There are as many as 3 apostles being mobilized and countless others, so in order to turn the game around, they must be at least level 300.

However, it was impossible based on common sense to reach that point in just one year.

After finishing her calculations, Deborah made a firm decision.

“Then we will have to evacuate Master then.”

There is a saying that if you can’t avoid it, enjoy it.

She means that it is more helpful to solve a problem to enjoy it comfortably than to suffer for no reason and find a solution.

But, to put it the other way around, it means that if you can avoid it, you should definitely avoid it.

Since she knew roughly when the incident would occur, Deborah’s intention was to persuade Roxana and avoid getting involved.

However, this is a wrong idea.

“Deborah. That’s meaningless.”

“Yes? Why?”

“Because you will have to face it someday. This isn’t just an incident limited to Roxana. The fate of the continent is at stake. So, even if you avoid it now, you will face bigger trouble later.”

By the fall of next year, the Dark Church will invade the deep realm and Cain and Verdan Roosevelt will be dead.

At that time, the conflict with the Dark Church would be intensifying in earnest, and it would be a big problem for someone like Roxana to run away just for the sake of self-reflection.

Rather than simply being criticized, he could be degraded into a traitor to humanity.

After hearing the explanation, Deborah despaired.

“Nonsense. So then I have no choice but to let Master die? Is that fate? Jeon… Should I just watch?”

The helplessness of not being able to do anything even when a loved one is in danger of dying frustrates people.

As I was watching her in her precarious state as if she would collapse at any moment, I grinned and grabbed her shoulder.

“We have to stop it.”

“… How?”

“Somehow. 1 year? That’s enough. “Just trust me.”

“Luan…”

The darkness gradually faded from Deborah’s face as she faced my confident face.

Her eyes her, her sparkle with hope.

“Can Luan really do it?”

“That’s right. In that sense, are you free this weekend?”

“On the weekend?”

“Okay. All two days. “I have somewhere to go with you.”

The possessed person would have been discovered anyway, and since Roxana needs to be saved, it would be better to hasten Deborah’s growth her.

With the vast amount of information I have in my head, that’s pretty easy.

Deborah blushed brightly at my suggestion her.

It almost makes you wonder if she is the person who was in despair just moments ago.

“Are you really going to sleep?”

“I guess so, right? Why don’t you like it?”

“That… “You’re not doing anything strange, are you?”

The squinting eyes are cute.

I suddenly became playful and whispered sarcastically in his ear her.

“What’s strange?”

“Well, that’s it. “That.”

“What is that?”

I don’t know anything. As she shrugged her shoulders with the same expression, Deborah blushed even to her neck and opened her mouth softly.

“Eww… Three, sex… Suyo.”

“What? Shit? Do you want to have sex with me?”

When asked with a deliberately strong pronunciation for emphasis, Deborah shook her head desperately.

“Oh, no! It’s not like that!”

“But why do you think like that? Of course, we will use each room. Of course, if you want, we can go together often.”

If a pretty girl like Deborah would give me her pussy, I would be willing to fuck her a thousand times, ten thousand times.

Of course, that can’t be true.

“That’s it! Rather, Luan shouldn’t do that! Do you want to get scolded by Master?”

“Master?”

“Is it so! If you keep doing this, will it come to this?”

Is Deborah the polar opposite of the teacher?

It seems like he relies heavily on mentioning Roxana whenever he does anything.

I quickly took a step back.

“Hey, calm down. Calm. It’s a joke. Anyway, I have somewhere to go this weekend, so save some time. “Understand, right?”

“Just try doing something weird. “I won’t leave you alone.”

“Okay. Because I won’t even lift a hand. Then I go first. See you tomorrow!”

After leaving a greeting, I left the women’s dormitory without hearing Deborah’s reply.

As I walked down the street, I was filled with strange feelings.

‘Are you and Deborah together from now on?’

I couldn’t have imagined it when we first met, but before we knew it, we had become so close. To the point where we share each other’s only secrets.

What will happen in the future?

*

Saturday lunch, Deborah and I finally arrived at our destination three hours after leaving the academy.

It is surrounded by bushes on all sides, and there is a clear lake in the back. It was attractive enough to make me want to go camping, unless I came to conquer the dungeon.

When the large rock is pushed away, the entrance is revealed.

“Are you here?”

“Huh. “It’s a hidden wizard’s dungeon.”

Inside, there are illusion magic traps and familiars that are resistant to various magic.

It was literally a counter to Deborah, so there couldn’t be a better way to break her limits.

Here today Deborah grows.

“Let’s go and have lunch before we go in.”

“Yes. Let’s go to the lake over there.”

We moved the rock again to cover the entrance, then sat down near the lake and started having lunch.

The gentle breeze is refreshing.

“Can I ask one question, Luan?”

“What is it?”

“What kind of world was Luan living in?”

As I picked up the lunch box side dishes, I looked at Deborah. Purple eyes full of favor reflect my bleak face her.

“It was a world without magic.”

“There is no magic?”

“Huh. Maybe I didn’t know, but most people didn’t even know magic existed. “No one felt the magic itself.”

“Really? How do you live without magical power?”

Deborah tilted her head.

In the Continent of Lepentia, magical power is the substance that makes up the world. Establishing her civilization without utilizing this is, for her, no different from creating something from nothing.

It was safe to say that magic attribute was the combination of oil and electricity on Earth.

In fact, I would say it is worse.

“It was a world where science developed instead of magic.”

“Science?”

“Okay. All phenomena that exist in the world have been established as theories. And we used the theory to create the phenomenon we wanted. That’s how civilization developed.”

“How amazing. Why doesn’t the Continent of Lepentia have such technology?”

“I guess that’s because there’s no need for it.”

Is there any reason to explore science when everything is done with magic? It is arrogant and a waste of time to turn one’s attention elsewhere to a subject that has not yet mastered the magic itself.

I picked up the side dish and took a bite.

But Deborah asked an additional question as if she still had some questions.

“How did you come from there to this world?”

“… “Why am I curious about that?”

“Because I want to get to know Luan better. “Can’t it?”

I was silent for a moment.

‘It’s dangerous.’

I am so happy and happy about Deborah’s kindness that I dare to ask for more.

Gradually, I become attached to her.

I silently chewed and swallowed my side dish and stood up.

“… Let’s go. “Now I have to start conquering the dungeon.”

“Oh! Are you ignoring me now? Please answer quickly.”

“I don’t like it.”

“This is disgusting! Do you know how much I was teased by Master because of Luan? “It was hard to keep it a secret!”

If a student, who usually stays in the magic tower and doesn’t go out much, leaves for two days, the teacher would be suspicious.

Of course, I would have asked a lot of questions.

Seeing his expression of sincere resentment, I decided to give him a chance.

“Then why don’t you tell me first?”

“Yes? Me? … What are you curious about? “I’ll answer everything!”

Deborah seemed to be very interested in me and she seemed ready to tell me anything.

I asked something I could never say.

“Have you ever masturbated after having sex with me?”

“W-what? Why are you curious about that? I can’t say that! “Ask something else!”

Just looking at the reaction, it seems like it’s happened before.

I heard at a retreat last time that she had never masturbated in her life, but it seems that sex with me awakened her sexual desire.

I put on a rejected expression and turned my back.

“What. Don’t you answer me? “You too are the same.”

“That and this are different! Luan? Luan!!”

Then, ignoring Deborah’s words, he walked into the dungeon.

And so, the attack began.
