Volume 10, Chapter 5: Trying Out Preventing the Ritual – Part 3

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Leaving the Headmaster’s room, Horun lead the way to the special reference room.

Only a portion of students were able to enter here.

Angeline’s figure, was already gone.

And then, right now, there weren’t any teachers either.

The ones accompanying her were only Diablo and Sylvie. Merci returned to the classrooms.

──What kind of relationship do they have?

Being in the Second Year Class A meant she was an honor student. Why would that Merci be acquainted with Diablo’s group? The circumstances bothered her, but the issue at hand took priority.

「Erm……There are students that have gone missing in this Magic Academy -ssu.」

「How many?」

「Ten people. Ah, it’s twelve people since this morning -ssu.」

「Fumu……So it isn’t thirteen people?」

「Eh? Yes. There’s no mistake that twelve people have gone missing -ssu.」

Diablo made a pensive look.

「……So it means that not everything is the same huh. Or could it be that I was beaten to the punch?」

Horun continued her explanation.

「I did some investigating, and I thought that the teacher Bihyakk was suspicious -ssu. Doing some observations, I saw Bihyakk go into the old school building with a female student -ssu.」

「Hou? The old school building huh.」

「Thinking that there was absolutely something going on, I stepped in but -su kedo……」

Diablo was suspicious of something.

「Could it be, was there nothing to be found?」

「Yes -ssu……」

Remembering what happened last night, she gritted her teeth.

Again, Diablo pondered.

「What’s going on? You’re saying that there was nothing in the old school building? What about the other classrooms?」

「Nothing from what I saw……」

Sylvie nodded.

「If there was nothing when a level 80 Thief investigated, then there is surely nothing there. It would be different if an illusion or something was shown.」

「There was none of that -ssu.」

As for why, it was because Horun was together with Babylon.

It was something that she called herself, but it seemed that magic didn’t work at all on Goddesses from another world.

Even if Horun was mislead through magic, Babylon should have seen through it.

『Fufun……It’s like ya can’t trick the eyes of this Babylon-sama!』

Babylon, who was in the bag this whole time, stuck her face out and said that.

She continued her explanation.

「At that time, the student council president of this academy, Angeline-san, was together with me but……since this morning, she had gone missing -ssu.」

「Did you go together with her back to the dormitory?」

Sylvie checked that.

「No……Only I was sent back, and it seemed that Angeline-san remained.」

「Arya, that was a mistake. In both taking an ordinary person on a quest, and not sufficiently guaranteeing their safety.」

「……Yes. It’s exactly as you say -ssu.」

Horun hung her head.

Having been too disappointed, she became negligent on the crucial parts.

Even with her level raised, she was fully aware that she herself was a novice Adventurer that lacked experience.

Diablo made a lengthy consideration.

*Butsu butsu……* He was saying something.

With Horun’s sense of hearing, she could hear it, but since they were words that didn’t belong to the Lifelia Kingdom, she didn’t understand the meaning of them.

At times, he was neither a fearsome Demon King, nor a skilled Magician, but would sometimes display an expression that seemed like a child immersed in play.

Going *Yosh*, Diablo raised his head.

「The fact that he showed his true character that openly, we don’t have the time to postpone things──that is how we should think. Normally, the last boss should appear by the time we march into the old school building after all.」

「Eh?」

Ignoring Horun’s confused voice, Diablo gave out instructions.

「We might be too late but, Sylvie.」

「Got it. It’s about what you said this morning, right?」

「Umu. Do it quickly.」

「Leave it to me! I’ll be going!」

It seemed that they had decided on something before hand. Sylvie left the room at a quick pace.
