Chapter 90 – Back to the Academy (2)

“Why don’t we create a secret organization right now?”

Wouldn’t it be fine if I didn’t have a back boat or a black curtain?

It’s a bit crazy even when I think about it, but what about other people hearing it?

Even Carla, who makes a fuss and praises me even if I breathe, tilted her head.

“Master… Are you serious?”

“Of course I am sincere. In fact, there was a secret organization! Wouldn’t it be somehow possible if we pushed forward?”

“Uh, um. That’s it….”

Carla licks her lips and can’t bear to say the next word.

In fact, there is no such thing as a secret organization in H&A.

That would be the case, since the main villain, the cult itself, is like a secret organization, so she has no reason for another secret organization to come out.

It is still the same now that it has become a reality.

Unless you know if it’s a simple criminal organization or spy organization, there is no group that does proper dark things.

Of course, since its very existence is a secret, it could be that I don’t know about it.

Anything that doesn’t appear in the game is something I don’t even know about.

But I really don’t think there are any secret groups other than cults.

The current cultists are slowly preparing to go to the front.

In about two years from now, they will rise up all at once and turn the continent upside down.

Without players, they would have destroyed the world smoothly.

There’s no way these guys didn’t clean up the surroundings.

Even if there was a fairly solid secret organization, it would have been annihilated or absorbed by the cultists a long time ago.

That’s why, at this point, there is no such thing as a secret organization other than cultists.

Thanks to that, if something suspicious happens, it would be more than half the case even if we attributed it to cultists.

What… Those who are here are those who once held a considerable position.

I don’t know about the future that the cultists will revolt soon, but I’m sure I’ve heard a lot about it.

At least you know that powerful secret societies are hard to come by.

Is that why? She opened her mouth cautiously, with her adult eyes that Iris didn’t want to shatter her childish fantasies.

“O master. Secret societies aren’t as great as you think. It’s an organization that opposes not only the neighboring criminal groups, but also the cultists hiding deep inside, and the public authorities who glar at the bright side.”

“As Master said, Yandel. That’s why even criminal organizations are said to be protected by aristocratic families and great guilds. Although it is a loose cooperation system that allows you to cut tails at any time.”

“Um… I can’t think of a good way. I also care about putting my hand in the shade. Of course, if the master commands me, I will gladly obey….”

Skeptical reactions. The elven family, who were still watching this side with a cautious attitude, didn’t say anything about it, but it felt similar.

No, but everyone seems to be out of focus.

“Who really said we should run a secret organization?”

“Oh? Didn’t you just say you were going to create your own organization that would look like your backwater?”

“Think about it. If such an organization existed, it would have been known long ago. If it suddenly pops out, you would be suspicious?”

“… You said Yandel made it!”

She heard Elisha’s cry, which looked a bit unfair, with one ear and let it flow through her one, continuing her words.

“I will make it. But you don’t have to actually do anything. The important thing is that you have to show up.”

“You mean just giving me the feeling that I won’t be able to treat you carelessly?”

She nodded to Iris, who patted Elisha, who was frantic.

“That’s right. She doesn’t even have to get her hands dirty. You just need to get in shape.”

“I don’t think it will work that easily, but….”

“Right. That’s why I brought it up to ask if it would be okay before screaming.”

Although the money-making at the auction house was a decisive factor, I had been thinking about how to explain my abilities and gold for a long time.

It’s a bit of an awkward fit, but… There is a way.

A setting that I had indirectly told Karla before to plausibly explain system calibration. A descendant of the dragon that caused the atavism.

I decided to actively use this.

“Did you tell me? The gold I have is from Dragon Rare.”

“… No matter how much the owner said after spending 100,000 gold in one sitting, it’s still hard to believe.”

“I know. But it’s true. One day, I suddenly saw a strange landscape in front of my eyes, and I thought I had to go there, so I walked blindly and found that it was a dragon rare.”

“Her. What is that… ?”

Stupid Iris. Well, that’s nonsense.

However, it seems that it was a very convincing voice for Carla.

“Also! The master’s blood… No, Mana must have led the master!”

“What do you mean, Carla? Wasn’t Yandel just a commoner?”

“Can I call you sister? Actually, I’ve been thinking about it until now too, but after hearing the story a while ago, I was convinced.”

Carla looked at me with slightly hazy eyes.

“Master is the one who manifested the dragon factor. … He is also the one who awakened the mana of the dragon, like the ancestor of the Lindelheit family.”

As in any fantasy world, the dragons of Eurelia are a very special race.

Infinite mana, magic engraved in instinct, lifespan longer than that of a high elf, and so on.

Dragons were a species that reached its pinnacle in name and reality.

Although, for some reason, there is a minor problem that the population is small due to the strange habit of being excited by humans rather than their own kind.

Dragons that have been polymorphed into humans sow seeds here and there, and there are quite a few people born with dragon blood in this world.

And among them, there are those who, extremely rarely, express the dragon factor flowing in their blood.

Such people have more than one extraordinary corner.

They are very strong, exude transcendent charisma, handle auras as naturally as breathing, etc.

Because it inherits some of the dragon’s abilities.

However, as an exception, if you are born with the dragon’s mana, your weak human body cannot handle it, and your mana will be crippled and your lifespan will be shortened.

The one who solved it on his own was the founder of the Lindelheit family.

… I just picked a couple of good talents at the start, only to receive mana insensitivity as a random penalty.

In any case, I must have seemed to Carla as a case in point with her own progenitor.

It’s a reaction I induced, but it seems like the lies keep increasing, and my conscience stings.

Still, I can’t think of any other way.

At first, he pretended not to know and tilted his head calmly.

“I… Dragon blood?”

“You know that master instinctively wants you to do something even when you use magic? That’s usually nonsense! There was so much mana that she was born with that she could ruin her body? This is impossible unless it is a special case like our ancestors!”

Carla was very excited. Then, he gently stroked the chin of Karla.

“Calm down a bit. How come you seem more excited than me, the person in charge?”

“How do you calm this down! By the way, to hear that you’ve been to Rare….”

“Since I still remember the location, would you like to go there during summer vacation?”

“Like!”

“Great. Then, since the story keeps leaking now, let’s go back to the main topic?”

“Yes!”

Laughter flows out of nowhere at the sight of Karla, who has become calm in an instant.

Well, it is true that I know the location of the dragon lair.

I haven’t actually been there, but there are a few dragon rares you can go to at H&A.

The place I’m going to is empty except for one key item… That’s it, it’s enough to say that it’s because I took all the gold.

“Great. How long have you been talking… Right. Didn’t I say I went to Dragon Rare?”

“I still have a hard time believing it.”

Elisha, who was still in doubt, smiled and continued her words.

“From now on, we are a secret organization created solely to exterminate cultists and evil spirits, inheriting the will of that dragon… No, it’s a setting called an association.”

“… Yes?”

I explained a bit more in detail to Elisha, who had a bewildered expression on her face.

Dragons are a mighty race. Exactly, it was strong.

Those great lizards were now ruined and were on the brink of extinction.

The cause is, of course, a great war 300 years ago.

Normally, dragons regard the continent of Eurelia as their playground, but they belatedly joined the war when the humans they cherished died en masse.

They were dragons who wiped out the battlefield with overwhelming force, but… The authority of evil spirits is a monstrous thing that cannot be understood by ordinary people.

As the evil spirit, who discovered the dragon’s weakness, materialized himself and went hunting for dragons, the few populations began to decrease one by one.

To make matters worse, just like humans converting to cults, one of the dragons has turned to the evil god.

When even a defector called the first demonic dragon appeared, the situation gradually returned to ruin.

In the end, most of the dragons lost their lives, and the few who survived went to sleep to recover from their wounds, burning their enmity towards the cultists.

In the last half of H&A, there was an event to wake up those dragons and make them helpers….

The anger of the dragons at that time was to the point where you could feel the bloodshed even through the monitor.

From now on, the imaginary organization I will create will use this as a motif.

If you’re going to hit a gura anyway, shouldn’t you hit it as grandly as possible?

“A secret society created by a dragon who intuited his own death due to worsening wounds. Those who have inherited all of the dragon’s heritage, but use it only to subdue the cultists.”

It’s not just some big criminal organization.

Those who have been killing cults in the shadows for a long time and collecting information about them.

Seekers without faith who do not intervene in the world, even with their mighty power, unless they are related to evil spirits.

Somehow secretive, somehow great looking, and somehow traditional.

But what’s going on is an organization that has recently sneakily revealed itself.

“This is the shell of the Order I am trying to create.”

“””…….”””

Even after my words are over, all of them remain silent.

Carla was the first to break the silence.

“Didn’t the master already know the identity of the dungeon and the cultists that were tightly hidden in the basement of Gef City?”

“Oh? Come to think of it, Archbishop Edmerek, who was attacked during the dungeon practice, was well aware of the penalty of authority, personality, and frequently used tactics.”

“Now that I think about it, the owner knew of the existence of the Seething Silence Church, which was said to be secretly acting secretly.”

A sudden strange atmosphere.

It was Carla who opened her mouth again this time.

“Master… Is that really a simple setup?”

“Uh, um.”

Would you believe me if I said no?
