Chapter 498 – Leisure Not Given

It was an incredible night in many ways and lasted for several days. And for the first time in a long time, I felt sane this morning.

“The light… “You betrayed me.”

Helena wraps a blanket around her shoulders and speaks in an empty voice. Her sparkling eyes are unfocused and blurred, and her brilliant blonde hair is dull and disheveled.

Anyone can see that she looks like a saint who is on the verge of turning black after seeing a difficult situation. But you have to listen to Solari’s opinion on this as well.

Lion ears suddenly pop up on Helena’s head. She’s wrapped in a blanket and you can’t see it, but her tail is probably sticking out too.

Her wild hair remains the same, but the light returns to her unfocused eyes and they become like those of an animal. Solari, who had completely risen to the surface, protested as if it was unfair.

“It’s unfair! How could I have abandoned my child?! “I was just knocked out by her husband!”
“But even when you came to your senses, you still didn’t give me a shift!”
“That’s because you were enjoying it, Helena!”
“It was definitely like that at first. But not later!”
“… “At that time, it was a little dangerous for me too, so I stopped.”
“It was like that too!”
“Lord, give what you have to give and throw away what you have to throw away!”
“Just wait and see! One day, I will return those words in the same way!”

Helena is furious and fussing, and Solari is sorry but shamelessly protests that she couldn’t help it.

At first glance, he seems like a mentally dangerous person who wraps himself in a blanket and talks to himself… In reality, it is an argument between a god and a saint.

Since only those with the utmost faith and the right spiritual wavelength can become apostles, there has never been an apostle who has dared to argue with God.

If I had told other priests about the scene before my eyes, they would have either not believed me or would have lamented it, saying it was proof that God’s heart had moved away from humans.

What should we do in the face of such a historic scene?

“There is nothing we can do. “Carla, please bring some snacks.”

“I prepared it in advance!”

Carla brings out a crispy biscuit as if she had been waiting for it. What do you know?

She huddled together and shared food with the other women and took a moment to watch Helena and Solari. What suddenly occurred to her was put into her mouth.

“I guess I should go to the academy soon, right?”

“It’s been a while since I’ve been away. “I’m a little worried about Soaring Blue, who is alone.”

“Okay… Affection?”

I don’t think anything will happen to the surging blue. Rather, I am worried that because there is no one to stop him, he will run wild and cause trouble to the students around him.

If you imagine it just a little bit, you can picture it right away. Kidnapping a couple walking on the street, or a man and woman dating, and locking them in a room where they can’t leave unless they say goodbye.

Of course, the words in OO could be Yasu, Confession, or Duel. It will depend on the relationship between the kidnapped people. Because the surging blue must have that level of discernment.

“… The more I think about it, the more anxious I become. “Speaking of which, let’s go back today.”

“If the master wants to do that, then so be it. “Anyway, everything we had to do here was already done, right?”

“That’s right. “I haven’t even left my room for the past few days, so going back to the academy now won’t be a problem.”

She nodded and turned to the window. There was Iona, basking in the sun, using her telekinetic magic to bring her biscuits one by one.

In the meantime, the windows were closed and the curtains were drawn, so it seemed like the sun was welcoming for the first time in a long time.

What? Although I wonder if it looks a bit vampire-like to make such a flabby expression in the sunlight.

“Now that I think about it, Professor Iona. “Professor, shouldn’t you stop by the academy sometime?”

“Yes? “Why?”

Iona answers with a loud voice. Even though I am not doing anything, I feel an even more intense feeling of not wanting to do anything.

But aren’t things in this world inherently not as planned? She decided to confront Iona with a reality she had momentarily forgotten.

“I think the professor’s work must have piled up a lot while she was away.”

“Kek.”

Iona suddenly frowned as if someone had a thorn stuck in her neck.

After all, I have a special position at her academy. First of all, thanks to his friendship with Rebecca, he acts as an acting chairman in times of emergency, is the strongest member of the faculty in terms of pure force, is a hero who played an active part in the war of the gods, and has recently become a member of a party that destroys the heads of evil gods.

Although she previously felt like the Academy’s second-in-command, now it would be no surprise that she actually takes over as president at some point.

Of course, Iona herself has already completed her revenge, and her remaining evil spirits are almost exhausted, so she doesn’t seem to have any intention of moving up to her position as chairman of the board.

Maybe Rebecca knows about this and wants to make me her successor.

Well, in any case, given the situation, Iona’s work is bound to pile up as time goes by.

I heard that they took care of it last time and set up a minimum system so that it would be okay for them to leave… Even so, I won’t go back completely without Iona.

She eventually realizes that she has to go back to work, and her Iona’s face turns like a platypus witnessing the sight of her house being submerged in a flood.

“Si, I hate it! No! I don’t want to work! I just want to hang out here with Yandel students every day! I want to live by sucking blood instead of honey! Mite! I am a baby! Mites don’t do anything! Mite! “Aaaaaeaaae!”

“Huh.”

Iona suddenly begins to herd, flailing her limbs. She understands. If she goes back this time, she will have to live buried in work and take care of various things for a while, so she probably doesn’t want to go back.

But isn’t she too ugly to be 372 years old? Although it’s cute in my eyes.

“Don’t be like that, Professor. There is no rush now, so you can take your time. “If anything, I will help you.”

As soon as I finished speaking, her flailing limbs stopped and she secretly turned her head towards me.

“What. Yandel student is helping me? How?”

“Hmm… “I’m not taking that class anyway, so why don’t we go around and use the professor’s exclusive blood pack?”

“… Omg!”

Iona swallows her breath, her blood-red eyes glowing. Before she knew it, her arms, which had been fidgeting, were lightly squeezing her own breasts. As if he was trying to suppress something in her.

“There, there. Yandel student. First of all, let me tell you, in terms of vampires, it’s very…”

“Are you saying it’s really dirty? “You did it knowingly?”

“Huh!”

Now, Iona closes her eyes tightly. I’ve been with him for some time now, but it’s been a long time since I developed this level of vampire sensitivity.

It’s still unclear what exactly it feels like, but it probably feels similar to Pay calling itself my own Payhole.

Anyway, things are a little strange, but Iona seems to have given permission, so I guess I should pack my bags quickly.

“Tsk.”

I got up from my seat and took out the clothes I had taken off from my inventory. I was trying to put it on awkwardly, feeling that it had been a long time, but Carla and Elisha were clinging to me from both sides.

“I will help you, master.”

“Instead, I hope you can help us get dressed.”

After dressing each other and adjusting our clothes, we opened the door and raised our magic power.

“Deacon? “Can you come here for a moment?”

A voice amplified by magic echoes throughout the mansion. There was no answer, but a familiar presence caught in a corner of my senses.

The head deacon walks as fast as he can without losing his dignity and bows his head in front of me.

“Did you call me, Duke?”

“Huh. I think I have to go back to the academy now. “Is there something I need to do right now?”

“Doesn’t exist. If the Duke wishes, I will prepare a carriage right now.”

“Oh, we’re going to teleport, so there’s no need for a carriage.”

“But then no one will recognize the Duke’s accomplishments in ending this war.”

“Are you okay. “I don’t have any intention of making a fuss around the neighborhood just yet.”

There is still a lot of reign left to be done, but it is a bit weird to be going around with a noisy victory ceremony already.

However, the head deacon seemed to have accepted my words and nodded with a serious expression.

“Yet… What do you mean? All right. “In that case, would it be okay for me to resolve the territory’s affairs first, as I have done so far, and report on important matters separately and then contact you?”

“Uh. “Please do that.”

“I will obey your orders.”

The deacon bowed his head deeply once again, slowly straightened his back, and asked.

“Anyway, when are you planning to leave? “We will prepare to send off the residents of the territory according to the schedule.”

“I’m going to go today, so why bother sending me off? It’s okay. “Just leave an empty lot.”

“… I am honored, Duke. This is not just a show of pretense, but also a declaration that the Duke is over this situation. The duke’s dignity is necessary for the stability of the people of the territory.”

“Ah.”

I’ve never thought about it from that perspective.

Do it. One day, they heard that a huge evil dragon was suddenly attacking them, so they evacuated in a hurry, but when they came back, their house had collapsed.

No matter how quickly it was restored with the help of the punitive force, it is unsettling to see the testimonies of those who were unable to evacuate and the traces of destruction that remained intact.

Even if you know in your head that we won and the war is over, it won’t be easy to realize it. If you think about it, there was a plan for a festival among the reports posted by the head deacon. This would also be an extension of that.

“Okay. Then, let’s go tomorrow, but there is no need to prepare a separate seat. Just tell them to look up at the sky when the bell rings 12 times.”

“Do you mean the sky?”

“Uh. “If it’s a dragon, it’ll be visible from anywhere, right?”

The lord turns into a large dragon and teleports away, saying thank you for your hard work? Even if I were Young Ji-min, my heart would have been majestic.

As I was nodding my head at the perfect plan, the head deacon dissuaded me with a slightly shocked expression.

“Managing with fear is also necessary, but now I think you should think again…”

“…”

Fafnir’s appearance is a bit scary. Just looking at it, it looks like a rare demon dragon that will burn the empire.

… Well, since I’m not a dwarf, wouldn’t it be okay if I just don’t use Fear?
