chapter 35
35. Society (10)
“Lit, you and I will move separately from now on.”
“yes? Professor, but… … .”
Now it is the end of the conference.
Since my lecture was effectively the last event, the crowd will be dwindling. If that happens, the pursuit of the Holy Empire will be unavoidable.
The biggest problem for me right now is Lit.
If these guys find out that this guy is a demon, both Ritt and I will go to the Inquisition.
As I said, this crazy fanatic group omits the process as long as there is a justification.
“Didn’t you say The Holy Empire is attached.”
Why are you hearing this face for the first time?
I opened my mouth and pressed the squeaks that rose up in my mouth.
“I cannot put you at risk. The only thing they’re watching is me. So, it is better to move separately.”
Lit is a demon.
What if I was with a demon like that?
That fanatic is going to slap me too.
You can’t sell rit.
As long as you know her future, you know how well her potential is worth.
The best solution is a two-way operation.
Rather than staying together and being arrested, they move separately, turning their consciousness on me, and digging out evidence that can be said to be the only one.
This is the heart of this plan.
* * *
– I can’t put you at risk. I can’t put you at risk… … .
One word from Lucas keeps ringing in my ears.
I can’t hide my blushing face.
Calm down.
Outside of now, the people of the Holy Empire are aiming for Lucas and himself.
But I can’t help it that my mind keeps falling in this direction.
“Are you listening?”
“Yes Yes! professor. But how did the professor… … .”
This question came to me instinctively.
Even if you ask a question, you do not understand yourself.
He was more selfish in terms of survival than anyone else, and he was worried about the survival of others.
“Am I a demon?”
“ah… … !”
Without confidence, Professor Lucas wouldn’t have to suffer because of them in the first place.
It was hopeful, but somehow sad.
“Don’t worry about me and leave quickly.”
“yes… … .”
shoulders sag
It hurts to know that you are getting in the way, if not helpful.
“Lit.”
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
“yes… … .”
“As I always say, there is nothing wrong with you. So, spread your shoulders.”
“professor… … .”
A blunt but heavy sincerity reached her.
From the beginning, knowing that he was a demon, Lucas understood himself and was on his side.
told me there was nothing wrong with it.
‘I’ll be strong. I will become strong so as not to become a burden to the professor.’
Ritt vowed to himself.
“Oh, and this one.”
“Hey, this is… … .”
hearthstone.
It is the core where the magical powers of demons are gathered.
And this is the Manastone of Baltan – that is, the Manastone of the Higher Asmodians.
“professor… … .”
“hurry.”
Ritt carefully took the magic stone from Lucas’ hand.
Woong-
The magic stone that resonated with Lit’s magic was absorbed by her in an instant.
* * *
‘No, hold it… … ‘
A magical stone of balancing that disappeared in an instant.
The fact that demons infiltrated Grasco was not known yet, so holding this manastone would only hurt my head, so I tried to send it to Lit, but Lit absorbed it.
The moment I thought it was a waste…
[Lit’s ‘grade’ is upgraded.]
[Lower Asmodian -> Intermediate Asmodian]
[Lit’s favorability is greatly increased. +100.]
I forgot.

Manastones act like experience stones for demons.
The Manastone of Baltan was given so much experience that it would instantly turn Lit, which was not enough to become an intermediate demon, into an intermediate demon in an instant.
This is possible because the bullet is a high-level demon.
‘then… … ‘
I have one more magic stone. It is also a high-level magic stone.
“If you go to my office, you will find Levi’s magic stone. Take that too.”
“… … yes!”
To me, it’s just a souvenir that looks like a jewel.
Rather, it is much better to grow the lit with it.
[Lit’s favorability is greatly increased. +200.]
He invested all his favorable feelings into his magical powers.
You can see that Ritt is getting stronger.
However, he hasn’t been able to adjust well yet, or he hasn’t been able to control his magic well.
Ordinary people wouldn’t notice it, but the Holy Empire gnomes would immediately notice it if they got close.
“I will go first. There will be no separate check-out, so please leave when you are organized.”
I gave her enough time to gather her strength.
Now the problem is to break through those Holy Empire bastards head-on.
* * *
“My, how I have been down like this!”
“So… … .”
“No, before that, where is Professor Lucas!”
“I will be in the hotel… … I heard you’re leaving today… … .”
Alan jumped up and pushed him away.
“Hurry up! I’m going to the hotel where Professor Lucas is staying right now!”
He walked out the door excitedly.
* * *
“Professor Lucas, no, Lucas is out of the hotel!”
“Everyone, be nervous. From now on, it’s practical.”
There was not much time left for Lucas to remain at the conference.
It also means that there are few opportunities left to secure his recruits.
So I decided to use it as a last resort.
They decided to hide their identity and openly secure his recruits.
Everything that would remind me of the Holy Empire was removed from my body.
He was just aiming at the enemy in a pitch-black outfit.
In fact, the best time was when the lecture was over.
However, his lecture was so shocking that he did not even think of catching Lucas as he left <Themekan Hall>.

Most of the people who aren’t the ‘scholars’ were too busy collecting the knowledge he left behind.
‘I won’t make that mistake this time!’
If Lucas was really related to the demons, this continent would inevitably face great danger.
She is a saint chosen by God.
The danger of throwing the continent into chaos had to be cut off.
That was his fate, and that was the reason why Bert reigned as the Holy Empire.
“Everyone, get ready.”
At her instructions, the knights of the Holy Empire raised their masks.
Through the entrance window, Lucas’ new model was dazzling.
‘now!’
At her hand signal, the Holy Empire Knights moved.
But then-
“Professor Lucas, wait a minute!”
Unexpected variables have exploded.
* * *
“… … .”
It was a really awkward three-way meeting.
On one side, the president of the Alan Society, whom I stunned, and on the other side, the Holy Empire guys in black robes that looked like they were going to attack me.
“… … What are these?”
Alan said a word to the Holy Empire bastards.
“Hey, are these gangsters aiming at Professor Lucas? That’s fun. Even if it wasn’t for me, my body ached from anger, would you like me to release some for you?”
However, the Holy Empire did not seem to have rushed forward with normal determination.
Even in a situation of complete failure, the momentum was rather raised.
and-
“Oh no!”
Sadly, the jade bead-like voice began to emit a divine-looking light from someone’s body.
‘Secripis?’
self-sacrifice.
Normally this would mean absolute recovery, but not in my novel.
That’s a skill that creates an absolutely advantageous situation for allies instead of sacrificing yourself, suitable for the group of fanatics.
And the brilliance that explodes like an explosion while casting is temporarily blinded.
It was already too late to step out.

“Mom, my body is not moving!”
“Oh, I can’t see!”
Except for me and the Holy Empire guys, everyone was out of sight.
Everyone was struggling as if they were caught by something.
In the middle of the city center, chaos was spreading.
“Why are you doing such a stupid thing!”
“You need to get out quickly. Hurry up!”
“I shouldn’t have done that!”
“Karin, there is no time!”
Guys try to step out.
But I couldn’t leave it like that.
Because even if they step out, they will always get in the way of me.
“Stop.”
He used the Dragon Fear to bind the feet of the Holy Empire.
“Ugh, uh, how!”
At the sudden situation, the guys panicked and struggled. It would also be questionable if I could move freely.
The situation was reversed.
I approached them slowly and asked.
“Give me a reason why the Holy Empire attacked me, and a good reason to mess this place up.”
“Poetry, Holy Empire? Why the hell are they?”
The effect of Dragon Fear is 1 minute.
When that effect is over, they will disappear as they are, and my danger will not go away.
So, their identities were revealed.
Again, people have questions.
Why the hell is the Holy Empire doing this at the Society, and why is it targeting me?
This question will now become their strong fetters.
“Saint, Karin. You answer.”
But I didn’t stop there, I threw another bomb.
“Wait, the saint is here?”
Naturally, confusion arose.
They now need a reasonable excuse.
Why did those who advocate ‘world justice’ do this? Also, with a saint in front.
As if the effects of the secretaris were going away, more and more people were coming to their senses and waking up.
He pressed them around as if they were surrounded by the Holy Empire.
“… … .”
The person in the lead pulled the mask off and took it off.
Long blonde hair falling like a waterfall, but a beautiful appearance that overwhelms the eyes even more than that.
The most beautiful woman in my world, Saint Karin.
The flowing tears further accentuated her neat charm.
“I am really a saint!”
“No, but why did the saint attack Professor Lucas?”
People expressed strong doubts about their identities revealed.
Now, if a reasonable answer is not given, it will cause diplomatic problems with the academic society and the country to which these many articles belong.

My purpose has been fully accomplished with this.
Now the feet of the Holy Empire are bound.
“we are… … They tried to arrest Professor Lucas.”
Karin said with a tone of resignation.
You tried to arrest me.

My expectations were pretty much right.
If I had left this out, I would have been knocked out.
“Professor Lucas is a man who fought against demons, so why did he want to arrest him in the Holy Empire?”
“Hey, that can’t be revealed.”
“Can’t you tell me? why?”
“Bert’s… … It is confidential.”
There were not enough answers.
The public was agitated.
Now all the circumstances have been created for me to get out of their grasp.
In this case, it would be better to come back comfortably with Lit… …
Whoa!
At that time, the portable communication tool cried in the pocket.
When I checked, it was Deyan.
-Professor, decryption is complete. President Heinz is currently confirmed to be in Berth, the Holy Empire.
