Episode 36
“Is everything going well today?”
“…I guess so.”
After discussing with Kania for a while how to prevent the ‘commoner dormitory attack incident’, we eventually decided that we would watch together.
Of course, Kania, who would be in quite a bit of trouble if anyone caught her sticking around, is now in my shadow.
“It’s strange, I thought it would start to move around at this point.”
“If you look at the main quest window still floating on the system, it’s true that the attack hasn’t happened yet…”
As we watched closely for several days and saw no signs of an attack, Kania and I began to grow increasingly tired.
This was because this job required a full night’s sleep, sharpened my nerves, and took a toll on my body and mind at the same time.
“…Just in case, the attackers aren’t aiming for this, right?”
“What are you talking about?”
“They may have found out about our existence or the existence of the Watchers through some kind of method, and are delaying the attack in order to reduce our power.”
“Hmm…”
If the attacker had noticed that Kania and I were watching, there was a high probability that a penalty window would have appeared.
However, in preparation for such a situation, I am blocking my presence with various items I purchased in a back alley a few days ago.
Also, although it is no better than an old brooch, I periodically take out a few magical tools with black magic and mutter incantations, so even if someone were to discover me, they would think I was using hex magic.
“So, there would be no chance of our existence being discovered.”
“…okay.”
When I mentioned those thoughts to Kania, she nodded for a moment and then quietly opened her mouth.
“However, I think we must continue to suspect that the attacker may be aware that there is someone trying to stop him.”
“Yeah, I think so too.”
As I looked at the sun starting to rise in the distance, I muttered quietly.
“…Because the opponent is the Demon Lord.”
As I was trudging back to the dormitory again today, I began to ask questions that suddenly occurred to me.
“By the way, Cania. What position do Perloche and Klana take on the ‘commoner dormitory attack incident’?”
“I was planning to report on the two of you’s recent activities when we arrive at the dormitory.”
“Okay, then…”
While I was nodding at Kania’s trustworthy answer, I stopped for a moment when I noticed someone approaching me from afar.
“…hello.”
Perloce came right in front of me with a stern expression on his face and started glaring at me.
I tried to ignore her and just pass by, but Perloche grabbed my arm and stopped me.
“What on earth are you doing?”
“…Let go of this.”
“Tell me. What on earth are you planning on doing?”
“I would have told you to let go.”
I wanted to catch up with her for a moment before going to class, so I put on a cold expression and tried to shake off her hand, but Perloce grabbed me, using the sun god’s protection, and started raising her voice.
“Are you planning on attacking the commoners’ dormitory!?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Recently, I’ve been feeling a very strange aura around the commoners’ dormitory. And, right now, that strange aura is overflowing from you.”
As Perloche said those words, she tried to project her holy power at me, so I got scared and stepped back, but Perloche bit her lip and opened her mouth.
“Look at it. After all, you are preparing something.”
“…so?”
“I know everything. I saw the past… no, I saw the future.”
Perloce began speaking, pointing at me with determined eyes.
“No matter how much I am currently in a master-slave relationship with you… if there are multiple victims… if it is a situation…”
But she could not bear to speak and lowered her head.
“”…………””
And there was silence for a while.
“…Come clean my room at 7pm tonight.”
I, who was still feeling disturbed by her because of the dream I had last time, left those words and before I knew it, I had let go of her hand on my arm and started to head towards the main building, passing her.
“Fray.”
However, as I was heading to the main building, she called my name and grabbed my arm again.
Thanks to this, I was so irritated that I tried to scream…
“Are you really, really planning on doing this…?”
When I noticed her starting to look at me with a disdainful expression, I closed my mouth.
“What on earth are you complaining about? Is it because I rejected your offer? Or is there something you’re after?”
“What are you talking about…”
“Actually, I want to kill you right away to prevent what’s going to happen, but if I do that, the transcript will be made public… and then Mr. Klarna, who looks like he’s having a really hard time even to me, a fool, will be in danger.”
“…what?”
“Even though I hate you so much, just as I obeyed you for Mr. Klarna… I can sacrifice my body for the sake of innocent commoners that you so desperately want.”
After saying that, Perloche bit her lip and then immediately got down on her knees and started begging while holding my legs.
“This is the judgment and conclusion I came to after thinking hard for several days. So… please accept my suggestion and please do not touch the commoner dormitory.”
As she said that, her eyes were still full of contempt, disgust, and disgust.
I looked down at her quietly and opened her information through information search.

“Even though it is something I hate so much… I will lose my status as a saint… but I will embrace you as you requested. So, please refrain from doing anything that causes harm to many people.”
Finally, when Perloche closed her eyes tightly and spoke, I, who was looking at her goodness shame, sighed and spoke.
“…It’s time to speak when I feel like it, so I’m preparing.”
After hearing those words, Perlche spoke gloomily, with a mixture of relief and disgust on his face.
“All right.”
As I started heading towards the dormitory, leaving behind the trembling saintess who was still lying face down, I said something vaguely to Kania, who was still in the shadows.
“Cania, can you brainwash Perloche?”
“Impossible. It is impossible to completely brainwash Mr. Perloce unless he is an awakened demon lord.”
“…I see.”
Abandoning the first plan I had in mind, I turned my brain around and opened the entrance to the dormitory building.
“Kania, I was thinking about it…”
“It’s not possible.”
Then, suddenly, I had a good idea and tried to talk to Kania in the shadows again, but for some reason, she hung up without even hearing what I was saying.
“Hey… I haven’t even said anything yet…”
“When you are assimilated into the shadow of someone you serve, you can vaguely feel the emotions that the owner of the shadow is currently carrying.”
While I was looking slightly embarrassed, Kania spoke in a calm voice.
“What kind of dangerous thing are you planning to do this time?”
Eventually, she asked me in a slightly angry voice, and when I heard that voice, I sighed and opened my mouth.
“If you stop the raider in the commoner dormitory incident, I will become the raider instead.”
While saying that, I opened the door to my dormitory and went in, and Kania came out from the shadows and frowned and started questioning me.
“Is it really necessary to go that far?”
“…I want to open the skill shop and item shop as quickly as possible. It’s still at the basic stage.”
“But then, Master…”
“Okay, we’ll talk about this later… but for now, please give me the report I mentioned earlier.”
Since I felt like the story was going to be long, I hurriedly cut off the conversation and asked Kania, who was a little upset, to give me the report I mentioned earlier.
“First, let me tell you about the events related to the ‘union’ to date.”
Then Kania, who had suddenly returned to her expressionless expression, took out the notebook she had in her arms and went into work mode.
“First of all, to tell you the overall flow, the ‘coalition’ made up of Mr. Klana, Mr. Perloche, and me is currently steadily preparing to take down the master.”
“Right.”
“Yes, as part of this, Mr. Perloche is receiving various education from Mr. Klana, and Mr. Klana is being provided with the secrets of the church by Mr. Perloche.”
“Does Perloche know the secrets of the church?”
As I was tilting my head because I couldn’t imagine her collecting the church’s secret materials and offering them to Klarna, Kania added an additional explanation.
“…He is transcribing by hand all the materials that seem suspicious to him.”
“Could it be possible for me to get some of those materials?”
“Of course, I remember everything. I’ll share it all with you later.”
After hearing those words, I realized once again how capable Kania was and smiled, but Kania frowned and opened her mouth again.
“And I am currently conveying false information to Mr. Klarna.”
“False information?”
“Yes, in order to disrupt the investigation, we are handing over various pieces of information mixed together. Of course, we are not handing over information that would jeopardize the family’s position all at once.”
“As expected, you’re talented. If it weren’t for you, I would have ended up on the street a long time ago.”
When I spoke jokingly, Kania lowered her head for a moment and then spoke again.
“And I am training in a remote place with Mr. Perloche.”
“training?”
“Yes, Mr. Perloche requested it a few days ago. He said he wanted to become a little stronger. Moreover, after training with me, he goes straight to Mr. Klana to study, which he hates so much.”
“…There was a reason why her sex power and intelligence increased little by little.”
The reason why she made up her mind was predictable, so she kept her mouth shut and nodded, so Kania started talking again, flipping through her notebook.
“For your information, Mr. Perloce, as you witnessed earlier, he is trying to somehow prevent the ‘commoner dormitory attack incident’.”
“But why are you suspecting me and not the nobleman who did what happened last time?”
“Mr. Klana warned Mr. Perloche about the ‘variable’. Thanks to this, Mr. Perloche is now suspecting you as the attacker.”
Hearing those words, I remembered that Perloche had pointed out the awkwardness I was feeling. When I asked Kania about that, she said with a calm expression.
“As expected, Mr. Perloce’s sexual power is improving day by day.”
“Hmm… I don’t know? Cania, maybe I noticed it quickly because you were in my shadow?”
When I asked that, Kania shook her head and answered.
“No, that’s not it. I’ve already made an excuse for the magic that permeates the shadows to Mr. Perloche.”
“What excuse did you give?”
“It is impossible to completely hide the dark magic from Mr. Perloche. However, you can lie about the details. That is why I explained that I placed a weak curse on your shadow.”
“Good, then in front of Perloce… Wait, then why did Perloce try to send holy power to me earlier?”
When I asked with a puzzled expression, Kania smiled bitterly and opened her mouth.
“At that time, Mr. Perloche was trying to send holy power to the deceptive black magic tool that the master was holding and reciting a spell.”
“…You sensed that?”
“Yes, that’s why I said Mr. Perloche’s sexual power is growing even more.”
Listening to Kania’s words, I feel a little strange.
It’s nice to see the future and see Perloche becoming smarter and stronger while receiving training from Klarna, but right now I’m going to die.
“So, how is Klarna reacting?”
“Mr. Klana… Of course, you are showing your will to try to stop it if possible, but the dorms are different and you have other things to worry about at the moment…”
“ball?”
“Yes, it is.”
Eventually, I was about to ask Klarna for her reaction, but when I heard the story about the ball, my head started to hurt again.
“Cania, how is Klana doing these days?”
When I asked carefully, Kania started talking with a dark look on her face.
“He is very depressed. Until recently, he had a hard time maintaining his confidence in front of us, but recently he has been sighing heavily.”
“…Well, I guess so.”
“You are increasing your wealth much faster than in the past, but thanks to that, you are being kept in check even more. This engagement ceremony is also part of the check.”
After sighing for a moment and tapping on the desk, I asked in a low voice.
“…Is there a way to prevent Klarna from rushing too much?”
“I don’t think so. Mr. Klarna is currently trying hard to seize power as quickly as possible.”
“Of course it’s because of me. Haha, I guess I should help you too.”
As I sighed again and imagined what would happen at the ball, Kania bit her lip and asked a question.
“…How will you help Klana?”
“Just like I always do.”
I gave her a brief answer and lay down on the bed to close my eyes, but Kania sat down next to me.
“I’m sorry to disturb your sweet sleep, but I have to ask you this. What on earth are you going to do at the ball tomorrow?”
Soon, she timidly grabbed my arm and started shaking it. She was so cute that I burst out laughing and started telling her my plan.
“…Okay, this is my plan. Okay? Then, wake me up right before class starts.”
Eventually, after revealing all my plans, I covered myself with a blanket and tried to fall into a deep sleep…
“young master.”
“oh.”
I had no choice but to postpone my sleep for a while because Kania made a dumbfounded expression and snatched my blanket.
“Please talk to me.”
“A little later…”
“Then shall we meet in my dreams?”
“……”
So I started arguing with Kania, who was very angry.
I have an ominous feeling that the bickering will continue until the bell rings.
.
“Hello, Mr. Klarna.”
“…hello.”
While Frey and Cania were arguing for a while, Perloche was greeting Klarna, who was waiting in the library.
“You seem quite enthusiastic. It’s nice to see.”
As she was looking through various documents with a gloomy expression, Perloce came and sat down next to her and began to praise her with an effortless smile.
“…thank you!”
Then Perloce, who was crying because of what had happened earlier, answered her with a bright smile, and the masked two began to pack the books in the library.
“…Okay, that’s enough. Then let’s go to the dormitory.”
“yes.”
The two of them, who had packed all the books they were going to study for today, started walking slightly away from each other and facing forward.
The relationship between the imperial family and the church was currently quite bad, so it had no choice but to be done.
“…Oh, Klarna. Where are you going this early?”
“…….”
As they were walking down the hallway away from each other, the First Princess suddenly blocked her path.
“…Tsk.”
Thanks to this, Perloche, who flinched for a moment, remembered Klarna’s words about never being close to other people, and started running down the hallway with her eyes tightly closed.
“Klana, you probably have something to do with that stupid saint, right?”
“…no.”
When the 1st princess, who was quietly looking at Perloche, asked with a cold expression, Clanna firmly dismissed the question.
“Well… even you, who do all sorts of things these days, probably wouldn’t have approached the saint. These days, the imperial family is trying so hard to keep the religious order in check. That can’t be possible, right?”
Then the 1st princess raised the corners of her mouth and began to caress Clanna’s shoulders.
However, Klarna, who was quite accustomed to such provocations, showed no reaction, and the first princess, who frowned for a moment, clapped her hands and began to talk.
“Oh, come to think of it… Tomorrow is the prom, right?”
When Klarna’s eyebrows trembled after hearing those words, the first princess smiled and began to whisper in her ear.
“All of the fiancé candidates were chosen by my mother, I, and my younger brother with great effort for you. How do you feel? Thank you so much, right?”
“…yes.”
Klarna tried to maintain her composure even in such a situation and answered, but eventually she closed her eyes tightly at the words she heard.
“If you don’t attend this time or don’t choose a fiancé… you better be prepared.”
“but…”
“My mother, who already values the church and the saint, is worried about you being close to her. Do you understand?”
The 1st princess, who tapped Klarna on the shoulder while saying those words, walked past her with a brisk pace.
“…Ugh.”
Klana, who had been standing in the hallway gritting her teeth for a while, soon remembered that she had made a promise to Perloche and slowly began to head towards her dormitory.
“Okay, Mr. Klana… it’s okay…”
“Well, how far have we progressed?”
“Oh, that’s… page 41.”
“Okay, then let’s meet again from there.”
Eventually, Klana entered her dormitory, smiled at Perloche, who had arrived and was waiting, and opened a book.
“Mr. Clana…”
“Why are you doing that?”
However, Perloce was still looking at her with sad eyes.
– Shaaa…
Eventually, when Perloche gathered her holy power into her hand and caressed her lips, Klarna realized that she had chewed her lips so much that blood was flowing.
“…thank you.”
Klana, who could barely suppress her emotions about to explode, quietly thanked Perloce and then began to look at the book.
“Mr. Clana.”
“yes?”
Perloce, who had been watching Klana with pity for a moment, took her hand and let out warm holy energy and said,
“Mr. Klana, please teach me how stupid I am… I will become your friend in return.”
“…A friend?”
“Yes, buddy.”
Klana, who was looking at Perloche smiling brightly as she said those words, quietly nodded and smiled, then turned the pages of her book and opened her mouth.
“…I think it’s page 14, not page 41.”
“Oh, yes.”
So Perloce and Klarna began reading the book, looking at the first friend they had made in their lives.
‘As expected, I have no choice but to give in to Frey for a moment, even for Mr. Klarna’s sake.’
‘For Mr. Perloche’s sake… I have no choice but to get engaged.’
Like friends, they worry about each other.
.
– Tap, tap, tap!
Meanwhile, at that time, the border connecting the Western Continent and the Sunrise Empire.
“…At this rate, I’ll probably make it to the prom tomorrow, even if I’m a little late.”
“Well, if that’s the case with you, I guess that’s the case.”
Serena was chatting with her maid in a carriage heading to the capital at high speed.
“…But what are you using now?”
The maid, who was yawning quietly in the carriage, tilted her head and asked a question when Serena was writing something down with an absorbed expression.
“It’s a love letter.”
“Ugh.”
The maid, who had frowned at Serena’s words, shook her head and opened her mouth.
“…Don’t you hate Mr. Frey?”
Serena stopped writing the letter for a moment after hearing those words, but then her expression became cold and she spoke.
“I hate you so much that I want to kill you.”
“But why can’t you give up?”
When the maid asked with a frustrated expression, Serena sighed quietly and answered.
“Because I’m your fiancé.”
