That’s what I called her. Exercises at Limba. A crazed chimera that suddenly appeared……. This is the event that shook the freshman A class.

“Oh, no, I don’t want you to play dumb with me, senior. You already know that, don’t you?”

“……What’s that about?”

“Chimera break-in, isn’t that you? You witch.”

“…………Haha.”

　Sailor contorts her expressionless face for the first time and raises the corners of her mouth. An eerie, evening-appropriate laugh.

“……I thought you were going to die, Noah Akright. It’s like having a conversation with a ghost.”

Sailor muttered.

“I’m afraid I’m in good condition. …… I’m going to be straight to the point. You’re the one who went after Nina, aren’t you?”

“…… I wonder why you think that.”

“That chimera is not wild. You can’t find a wild chimera in a place like that. It’s a chimera that was bred and released into the forest somewhere, just like the goblins. I’m not sure how a monster that big could be in the academy’s land without being defeated.”

“And then? What does that have to do with me?”

“Just listen……. too big for a stray. It was as if they were raised to kill people. –And most of all, the drug reaction from the chimera’s body was a reaction to the…… alchemy-made madness drug. The medication caused madness and physical growth. You’ve been carefully nurtured by a killing machine.”

Yes, that all-attack move is a drug-induced effect. Moreover, that size of body must be doping, too. And the only way to make such a drug is through alchemy.

“Alchemy is so common.”

“Only a few elites are able to make such advanced medicines. A person who is in a position to learn advanced alchemy and breed monsters. You are the only person who can interact with the monsters in the underground facility. You’re the only one. And why the chimera is only interested in Nina…… Perhaps it is Nina’s biometric information. You’ll be able to find out what you’re looking for, and you’ll be able to find it. You’re the only one who meets those requirements, Sailor Yggdrea.”

“…………Yes.”

Sailor stares at me with vacant eyes.

It’s not like she has given up – more like a somewhat joyful expression.

“–Haha…… That’s right, Noah. I was the one who raised the chimera, created the madness potion with alchemy, and tried to kill Nina. Congratulations.”

“You confess so easily, don’t you?”

“Because it makes no sense. The alchemical reaction from that chimera’s body is to be expected. I knew from the beginning that I was going to be noticed from there. –well, in my plan, you were also going to be killed by Chimera. I didn’t think Chimera was going to be dead… So impressive. Nina is going to be killed by the Chimera, and I’m going out quietly, this was the perfect plan.”

“I’m sorry, I’m ruining your plans.” 

“It’s true. I can’t believe I failed at this …… job that was given to me. …… I’m going to run for now.”

Sailor cowers her shoulders.

“Do you think you can get away from here?”

“Hmmm, I still have friends outside the academy who trust me. You haven’t abandoned me yet. They are all magicians of some ability.”

“You’ve prepared well. –So, what was your point in all this? Why do you want Nina?”

Then Sailor giggles.

“So I told you, Nina is a good girl, but being a member of a duke’s family, there are people who are after that much.”

The dukes …… are political.

“Just like that?”

“It’s not silly. The future of this country is at stake. If we have different ideologies and can’t communicate, why not make it easier to get through to them?　The king doesn’t have long to go. The battle for the throne has begun. The dukes are no exception.”

Sailor’s words are unassuming. There’s not a hint of guilt, as if to say that she has done her duty.

“Well, it’s all coming from me. As for me, it didn’t matter if the target was Nina or not.”

“?…… I don’t know, but I know you’re determined. Well, I honestly don’t care what you’re trying to do. I’m sorry for the fact that I’m so comfortable spilling the facts, but I’m not going to listen to you in-depth.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“So, now, you’ll have to let me go and kill Nina once and for all–“

“Not only.”

I interrupt Sailor’s words with a snap.

“I’m not going to forgive you if you’re going after Nina. It’s a good thing that I’ve saved her. If she doesn’t finish her time at the academy, she’ll fail in her mission.”

“Huh, you are like a parent after all.”

“……No.”

“I can’t do it if you’re protecting her. –I think I’m going to have to leave now. I’ll spend the rest of my life in some faraway country.”

“So you think I’m going to let you go?”

“Of course, you can’t let me escape now that you’ve defeated the chimera. But if all the people waiting for me attacked you at once, even you wouldn’t be able to handle …………, would you?”

Sailor grins with those words.

“–It’s been a fun few days. I would have liked to talk more with you as well, but …… that’s life. I hope my people don’t kill you.”

Sailor raises her hands above her head.

A moment later, when the magic is activated, a signal bullet is released.

The red light glows dazzlingly in the dark night.

“Huh, why don’t you run? Now all our friends are here —-“

“Careful your back.”

“What—-“

A moment later, there is a sharp snap and a blade is thrust into Sailor’s neck.

Drops of red drip on Sailor’s neck.

Sailor’s movement stops completely. If she moves even one step, blood gushes out at once.

“You’re not the only one who has friends around you, alchemist?”

“………… Who is it? It’s a distraction for my fun.”

The woman standing behind Sailor, her ponytail fluttering, and a voice that passes in the darkness, says her name in a hackneyed voice.

“I’m Haruka. The hunter of evil. …… Sailor Yggdrea. Your associates have been taken into custody. We will protect the security of this academy. We will not allow you to do as you want.”

“Vigilante……”

Sailor looks at me.

“Sorry. I had to be tipped off.”

“Damn it ……!

“If I did it, I’d kill all of you. You should consider yourself lucky that they caught you.”

“…… Truly……. You really do destroy everything I aim for, don’t you? I’ve lost because I didn’t underestimate your energy and ability.”

“Of course. If it wasn’t for me, Nina would be in the chimera’s stomach right now, and you’d be in a faraway sunny place.”

For the first time, Sailor looks regretful. She grits her back teeth and looks me in the eye through her long bangs.

“…… haha….Oh well, it’s okay. It’s not like you’re going to be able to find a place for me to fail anyway. You can do what you want.”

Serra relaxes and slowly raises her hands in the air as if she has given up.

“…… Say hello to Nina for me. You will not be able to enter this facility anymore, but you can call your teacher when you move on.”

“You have feelings for Nina? I’m going to tell her something.”

“Is that enough, Sailor Yggdrea?”

“You’re impatient.” 

“Take her.”

And so the witch Sailor Yggdrea disappeared from the scene, accompanied by a group of vigilantes. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to find out what they are. What beliefs did he have? I don’t know now. I’m sure the interrogation afterward will reveal …… but that’s not of interest to me.

“Thank you for your efforts, Noah. You saved us.”

“I thought you guys had a monopoly on such things. …… What will you do about her? She’s Nina’s favorite, aside from me.”

“She caused enough trouble for other students to get involved in …… and it won’t be just a fight. It will be brought to justice. But it’s a very serious matter. I’m sure the details will never be told to you. Of course, I won’t.”

“I see…….. Well, I’m glad it happened where I am.”

“…… Hmm. Sometimes Noah.”

Halka puts her hand on her chin and looks at me.

“What is it?”

“How about working with us as a vigilante? You’ll be perfect in your abilities. There are a lot of sorcerers with bad feelings in this school. Like Sailor. I think your power will be a deterrent.”

“I’m not interested in being a policeman. I’m not interested in being a policeman at all. –Well, if you need help, I’d be happy to help you.”

“…… Haha, okay, I get it. You can count on me if you need anything else. I’m looking forward to seeing you in the future. Thanks for the help this time. I’ll see you later.”

Saying this, Haruka spun on her heel and walked away.

This is the end of the matter. The culprit was also eliminated…… But I’m sure there will be more opportunities like this in the future. It’s not easy being a duke.

I’m not sure what sailor is going to be, but it was a good senior to Nina (well, she was being used, and she was looking for an opportunity to kill her), so it’s a bit of a pity that she won’t be able to see her.

Anyway, I’m tired…….

I’ve never been this involved with humans when I was an adventurer. It’s a good thing that I’ve enrolled in this school.

–I’m going to go to bed quickly today. The hard bed is waiting for me.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
