“Is there such a thing as this? … ”
I muttered. It’s going to turn.
Old warehouse. In this place, where the moonlight shined through the large iron bars, the Heretic Questioner smiled brightly. Her face was serious and bright, even though she was in a situation that was no different from being imprisoned.
“Ah, there were many times when I was cross-dressed as a child. I never thought I would actually get the role of a female lady. “This too is a life experience!”
“I want to get a little bit of your infinite positive energy… .”
“The world is beautiful. Death King! Think positive!”
Is there ever a time when this person doesn’t smile?
Even if a meteorite falls in front of you, you’ll think, ‘Ah, this is a big problem! The world is being destroyed! I can’t help it. We did our best!’ I think I’ll laugh.
“What’s so positive?”
“This is it!”
The Heretic Questioner moved both hands and made a hand seal. And he whispered softly.
“Sacred technique, transformation.”
Light flowed between slender fingers. It was the Heretic Questioner’s proprietary, sacred technique. Transformation must be a technique that changes something… At first glance, nothing had changed in appearance.
But as soon as the Heretic Questioner opened his lips, he realized. What is it that has changed?
“How is it?”
Although it was only for a moment, I got goosebumps.
“Are you a little more like a lady now?”
“voice is… … ”
“yes! “I slightly changed the structure of the vocal cords.”
Grinning. The Heretic Questioner smiled.
“I still get told that my voice is androgynous. Just a little bit of trimming will make it suitable. Ah, I actually can’t hear my own voice objectively! How is it.”
“That’s amazing… ?”
Honestly, I was amazed.
“He looks like an aristocrat who exudes elegance. Uh, whatever. “As long as you keep your mouth shut.”
“thank you!”
“hmm.”
I stroked my chin.
Unexpectedly, I assumed the role of [Main Character Young-ae & Butler]. But the Inquisitor and I are fully capable of dealing with it. The Heretic Questioner has sacred techniques… .
Because I have a regression skill.
‘okay.’
It’s definitely worth the challenge.
“…….”
The Heretic Questioner lifted his head and looked at my face.
“Your complexion seems to have calmed down a bit.”
“yes?”
“Ever since he returned from the Chronicles of the Heavenly Demon, his complexion has been dark. Death King. The stress has built up significantly while conquering the Apocalypse.”
I was speechless for a moment.
“Well, it’s natural since we lost our precious master! So, I had concerns about this strategy as well. “I wondered what would happen if Death King couldn’t show off his skills due to his depressed emotions, but it turned out to be unfounded.”
“… Still, you can guess people’s emotions by looking at their facial expressions, right?”
“yes! I don’t know what it feels like to be depressed, but I understand it in my head! Ahhh. Machines also creak when there is grease in them. Stress is probably human grease. “As it ages, it turns into sediment and is difficult to clean, so take good care of it!”
amazing. Are you trying to understand humans in your own way? He’s a psycho, but he’s a unique psycho.
“By the way, Death King.”
“yes.”
“There was something strange from earlier.”
“What’s strange?”
“As I understand it, we are currently imprisoned by unjust powers. “Freedom of movement is suppressed.”
“That’s how I understand the current situation.”
“I’m glad that mutual understanding has improved! And usually in cases like this, those in power have separate guards or jailers to watch over the prisoners. Otherwise, they could easily try to escape.”
The Heretic Questioner tilted his head.
“But right now, I can’t feel any signs of presence outside the door, but instead, I can feel people coming from the window. hmm. In this world, would guards be placed around windows instead of in front of doors?”
That moment.
“damn! Strike!”
The iron bars fell and shadows jumped from the windows.
“It doesn’t matter if you kill a man! “Don’t just hurt women!”
The shadows had masks on their faces. The concept of the dress was too great for them to think of us as customers who came because they were worried about us. From anyone’s perspective, it was an attack by uninvited guests.
“Sparkle!”
[Yes, warrior.]
I unleashed the holy sword. Chaang! The attacker’s sword and my sword clashed.
There was no question-and-answer conversation with the attacker, which often occurs in movie attack scenes. ‘Who are you!’ ‘I don’t know! But we have someone with great power behind us!’ This is a conversation that can be summarized as: Both the other person and I were busy swinging our swords.
But I had a secret trick.
“Now!”
Flashing.
The holy sword lit up.
“Ugh?!”
The attacker, whose eyes had become accustomed to the darkness, closed his eyes tightly, even though it was only for a moment. In a battle where swords clashed, the winner was decided in a split second.

I blinked my left and right eyes alternately to secure my vision, then blew off the attacker’s wrist.
“—urg—-!!”
A scream mixed with the voice like marble.
“Death King! You can’t kill them all! “We need to find out who’s behind it, so please save us!”
So I did.
The Heretic Questioner was also active, the hem of his dress fluttering.
“Nonsense! “f*ck, you’re not an ordinary girl, right?!”
The raiders were astonished. They weren’t very skilled. No, are our skills too great? We couldn’t handle ourselves with small children who couldn’t even use auras.
In the end, the four attackers were quickly subdued. One of them was killed by the Inquisitor during the fight.
“Hmm. Ahaha.”
The Heretic Questioner wiped the blood splattered on his face with the sleeve of his dress. The attackers looked up at the Heretic Questioner. His face was white.
“I heard she was a weak noble lady… how… .”
“You have three options!”
The Heretic Questioner laughed while holding his dagger.
“First, you can just die by asking me to kill you right here and now! Second, you can reveal important information one after another while being tortured by me! Third, if you purely reveal information, you will not die or be tortured! Which one would you choose?”
“her… .”
The person who appeared to be the oldest among the attackers snorted. He was also the guy whose wrist got blown off by me.
“You crazy bitch. “Better kill me!”
“yes! All right!”
“what?”
And the Heretic Questioner’s dress became a little more red.
A percussive, dull sound echoed through the warehouse.
The head fell to the floor.
“Hehehehe… ?!”
There are two attackers remaining.
“Have you made your choice?”
“Please, save me. Young-ae. We just got the job done!”
“It’s a world where it’s hard to make a living. I understand.”
“then… .”
“But you must understand my situation just as I understand yours!
“Please tell us why you attacked us. Instead, I will send you back alive. “I think this is a deal where I give up a lot.”
The raiders hesitated.
“ah. It looks like you can’t make up your mind. All right! “Let me help you make your decision!”
“Hey. The word “help” means… .”
“It’s torture.”
The Heretic Questioner was still distracted.
“Pain proves that humans are alive. When pain reaches its extreme, a person’s survival instinct also reaches its peak. Ego. “I will maximize your wish to live.”
“Please, save me!”
“Please live!”
crazy.
I thought the genre would change to a 19+ romance at this point, so I got involved.
“Wait a minute. Mr. Heretic Questioner.”
“yes?”
“You don’t have to go that way. “Leave it to me.”
“Hmm… ?”
The Heretic Questioner gave a puzzled look.
“Death King, are you good at torture? Unless you are very skilled, I recommend that you just leave it to me. “I am an interrogation specialist.”
“no. There is no need to torture. And please wipe your face.”
I handed the Heretic Questioner a handkerchief and stood in front of the attackers.
The raiders breathed a sigh of relief, sorry. I’m not very generous to those who attacked first.
“You guys. “Let’s ask something.”
“Well, what is it?”
“You came in through the window during the attack earlier. The iron bars cut very easily. “Did you hear that we would be trapped here and cut the iron bars in advance?”
“…….”
The raiders did not answer. We just look at each other. But just because I didn’t answer with my mouth didn’t mean there was no way to find out the correct answer. ‘Portrait window.’
I could see their psychology with my own eyes.
“I heard that a woman would come into the warehouse.”
“Damn it, I said she was an ordinary girl, but it was a scam!”
also.
The raiders already knew we would come here.
“As they attacked us, they shouted, ‘It’s okay to kill men, just don’t hurt women.’ “Did you try to kidnap the lady here?”
“Well, that…” … That is… … ”
The attackers blinked.
“The request was to kidnap a woman here.”
“The client was very careful not to hurt that woman. That’s why she attacked with four people.”
hmm.
okay. i get it.
“ha… .”
I sighed. When I turned around, I saw the Heretic Questioner diligently wiping his face with a handkerchief. It looked like a baby hamster gnawing on sunflower seeds.
“I have a feeling who the culprit is.”
The Heretic Questioner pricked up his ears.
“what. Do you really know already?”
“yes.”
“I want to hear Death King’s reasoning.”
The Heretic Questioner’s eyes sparkled.
I nodded my head and whispered in his ear.
“First of all, the criminal is a person with great power. “I hired four assassins to infiltrate the academy, but this would be impossible unless I knew the academy’s security system inside out.”
“Hoo. That makes sense!”
However, the Heretic Questioner countered.
“Is it necessary for the culprit to be [a person with great power]? It seems relatively easy to figure out the security system of an academy, not a royal palace. “It could be possible even if someone in power simply uses a little bit of force!”
“It’s a sharp point, though.”
I shook my head.
“There is one more suspicious situation. Mr. Heretic Questioner. Do you remember what [Villain Lady] shouted earlier when she kicked us out?”
“Hmm.”
The Heretic Questioner thought deeply as he tucked his handkerchief into his sleeve.
“Yes, I remember. He clearly said, “Get it out of my sight, lock up that master and servant right now.” Why do you ask that?”
“I didn’t say a word about where or where I should be confined.”
“…….”
“The villainess just told us to get rid of the ballroom. But these attackers knew where we would be trapped and cut the iron bars in advance. “The people who brought us to this warehouse were the servants of a villainess.”
“Ohh… .”
The Heretic Questioner’s eyes became as narrow as squinted eyes.
“indeed. The villainess may be the one who hired the attackers. All you have to do is order the servants in advance where to lock them up and tell the raiders where they will be locked up. Ahhh. Since she is the daughter of a duke, she must have power.”
“yes. but-.”
“But, it’s so obvious.”
The Heretic Questioner stroked his chin.
“[I] am still the protagonist of the apocalyptic world. This is a noble woman who is having an affair with the crown prince. An evil spirit chases me out and attacks me at the place where she kicked me out? Even if you are a duke’s daughter, you will be caught up in a huge scandal! “It is a handshake that carries too much political burden.”
As expected, the Heretic Questioner is smart.
Stories like this spread quickly.
“In other words, the villainess is not the culprit. “The person who wants the evil young lady to be seen [as if she is the culprit] is the real culprit.”
“I agree!”
“And this real culprit values the Heretic Questioner, the female protagonist, to the point where he tells the attackers to ‘never hurt a woman.’ As a male butler, I don’t care if he dies or not. Lastly, he is powerful enough to bribe the duke’s servants.”
“Ahaha.”
The Heretic Questioner smiled.
“Soon enough, I know who the real culprit is!”
“You probably have the same thoughts as me.”
“hmm. I don’t know the feeling of love. But you know your loved one’s habits! “If the real culprit really cares about [me] as Death King guessed, there is no way I would really hand over my personal information to these attackers.”
“yes.”
I nodded.
“It’s probably waiting nearby. “You can rush in at any time.”
Quang!
It was at that time that the old door of the warehouse broke. Dust rose, and a group of knights rushed out.
At the front was a man who looked like he had never had his hands dirty in his life.
“Sylvia! Are you okay, Sylvia?!”
The man ran over and hugged the Heretic Questioner tightly. Blonde hair like a raw ramen sari was flowing. Although not as handsome as the Heretic Questioner, that man was also handsome. Shall we say that the appearance level is 0.6 of the Heretic Questioner?
“oh my god. My whole body is covered in blood! After hearing that I had been kicked out of the ballroom, I came here feeling anxious… . How dare you do something so vicious… … !”
And the psychopath level is probably around 0.6 Inquisitor.
The man ordered without blinking.
“Look! Quickly catch the suspicious guys! I will personally interrogate you and reveal everything behind it! “I don’t know which family did it, but even if you are a public servant of the empire, I will not forgive you!”
The knights answered in unison.
“yes! “I accept the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince!”
Yes.
“Lady Sylvia. do not worry. I will protect you. No matter how vicious the duke’s daughter-in-law uses, I, the only heir to the empire, will protect you. You only have to rely on me… .”
That man is the male protagonist of [Sormwin Academy Story].
And he was a prince who loved the Heretic Questioner.
