XCI.

They say things in this world don’t really go as planned… .

“This is Gray… .”

“I heard you took care of the demon stooge?”

“This time, not by force, but by strategy… .”

“I, too, am a fan… .”

“It won’t work? Are you confident you can pass the gatekeeper, Melissa?”

.

.

Why did things turn out like this? I didn’t intend or want it at all.

“Pfft!”

“The gatekeeper… . Kick! Hey, Melissa. Giggling!”

“Uh, sister! Lee, Lina! Ooh, don’t laugh!”

.

.

To explain this confusing and messy situation, we have to go back a few days. So, back to the time when the bitches who treated Melissa like a servant took the bait.

◈

The clown’s plan was simpler than expected. If we show that we are close to Melissa within the academy, she will approach us on her own.

I couldn’t understand, but according to what the clown and Melissa said, my name value was very high not only in the Academy but also throughout the continent. In terms of the dimension where Go Gon-seong lived, there is no one who does not know about ‘Rodaju’ level.

So Melissa just had lunch with us and took a walk around campus. Just for one day.

But the next day, I took the bait. He called Melissa out to a group of women who treated her like a servant and called her ‘dull’ or ‘gained weight’.

If I had simply called him and asked what happened, I would have just ended it that way.

As I said, I didn’t really have any personal feelings for this woman named Melissa. Rather, what I was worried about was that the clown was hurt because of what happened to Melissa.

That’s why I followed the opinion actively presented by the clown without saying anything.

however… .

“What? Say it again.”

“… Bring Mr. Grene.”

It’s not that you want to meet me once, or that you want to serve me once, but that you want to bring me with you? Like calling a lady in a room?

“Did you really tell me to bring you? Don’t purify it, just convey it as is.”

“Uh, uh… .”

Melasa stuttered at the words she had thrown out just in case. This made it clear to me. Does Melissa suit you? No. Those guys who manipulate Melissa are a bunch of idiots.

“Our cute Melissa~? Because I’m not trying to scold Melissa. Why don’t you tell it to us as is? Then won’t we, ourselves, be prepared~?”

“Uh, uh… . Those, those, those… .”

“Those?”

I should have noticed it there. The fact that Melissa was different from usual wasn’t just because she was embarrassed.

“They, they, they dare to kill Gray… .”

“Huh?”

“Please come and say hello to Gray… . Should I pulverize my face with an acid potion? Or should I use an explosion potion to make it disappear without leaving a trace? Or should I just burn it with an ignition potion? Should I freeze it with a quick-freezing potion?”

“Melli… Buy?”

“Should I kill him? Wouldn’t it be better to kill him? After all, it would be a pity for the divine powers to keep such things alive, right? Oh, you can’t just kill them. You have to die very painfully and cruelly, regretting your sins. How dare you, Mr. Gray.”

Taaah!!

Melasa, who was gradually turning black, came to her senses only after being hit on the forehead by a clown.

“Let’s calm down. Melissa~? We hate people who are obsessed. I absolutely hate Yandere~. You need to know that?”

“Yes? Ah yes. Yandere… ? Dere? love? Gray and I are in love?! Heee!!”

As I looked at Melissa, who was losing her mind again, I asked the clown if this was okay, and the clown tried to cover it up with an embarrassed laugh.

“Are you a clown?”

There is no way.

“Hehe♥ Now, honey?”

“This is the guy you chose and the clown’s plan. Should I endure evil with courage?”

“Heeing… .”

The clown brought Melissa back to her senses. And while I was explaining the plan and saying that I would go to the meeting with her, the light in Melissa’s eyes went out several times and then came back.

‘what. He. scared. ‘Fuck.’

How would you feel if you saw a child like soft tofu, who was once so innocent, lose the light in his eyes and say things like ‘Should I kill him? How should I kill him? By freezing him? By burning him?’ without even taking a breath.

I heard that there is a novel called ‘Yandere’ in the dimension where Go Gon-seong lived. That’s because it’s a novel. What if we actually meet? What if the target is you?

To be honest, I was a little more scared than when I met a mid-level demon before!!

“Mmm. Do you understand~? Melissa?”

I wonder if it’s for no reason that the clown is watching me while asking Melissa to trust me.

“Yes yes! I understand everything! Clown sister!”

“Good~! Then, what about chulbaal?”

“Yes! Chu, let’s go… ! That’s it!”

I clenched my fists tightly, but not only my fists but also my arms were shaking. How did a kid like that just become Yan Mode? I have no idea.

So, with Melissa leading the way, we headed to the meeting place of the golbin bitches. Evergreen Academy was apparently using a fairly large space for the tea party, as the members were quite wealthy.

“It’s here. Gray.”

“Good. You know how to act, right?”

“Yes. Just trust me.”

“Let’s go.”

As it was a large place, I opened the large door on both sides and entered. Melissa was not the shy and timid child she was when she was with us or like she usually was.

Again-. Again-. Again-. Again-.

There was a sound of shoes hitting the coated marble floor. And the gaze of those who were drinking tea with each other fell on Melissa, then over her shoulder and onto me.

“Oh my!”

As if they had noticed it too late, the surprised women with their clumsy acting were wearing dresses that were so flashy and uncomfortable that it was hard to tell whether this was an academy or an aristocratic party.

“Melissa.”

I ignored those stupid bitches and called Melissa. Then Melissa moved aside near the table where the busy bitches were gathered and bowed politely. No, I sat down on my knees.

“Mel… Lisa?”

“What are you doing… ?”

“Huh!”

.

.

A noblewoman kneels on the floor with her shoes on, even if it is coated? This was a huge deal. Then you have to pay attention.

“How can you be so vulgar…? .”

“This is why anyone can receive it… .”

.

.

Assholes were still assholes. Realizing once again that the saying that it’s not about rewriting people didn’t come out for nothing, I walked on.

Kwaang-!!

“Aaagh!”

“Aaagh!”

“Ahh!”

.

.

He kicked the table with the refreshments on it, shattering it into pieces.

“Is that you?”

“What are you doing!!”

Before I killed the demon, no, before the gods recognized me, most people at the academy, including Dean Hu, called me a ‘crazy bastard.’ Of course, I didn’t say it out loud, I just whispered it.

Kicking the tea table of a nobleman during tea time? It’s cheap.

“Are you the one who came to me, a candidate, and politely bowed to me and called me George?”

“What are you talking about… !”

“That’s right. Gray. They did that.”

“Really? That’s right!”

“Oh, no… !”

“Well, it wasn’t that bad… !!”

Kwaang-!!

The bitches who were trying to make excuses fell silent when I pulled out a spear from my magic bag and hit the ground.

“You guys! These fucking bitches. Did you hear Satan? Are you a demon stooge? Really?”

“!!!”

When has a noble lady ever heard the term ‘doggy bitches’ in her life? These bitches don’t even know what Satan is. However, instead of being surprised or angry at the words “demon stooge,” he reacted by flinching.

“Huh? Hmm~?”

Neither I nor the clown missed it. And the clown was a woman without any excuses.

“Vice Dean~. There’s something strange here~?”

Instead of the dean who was protecting the witch and May, the vice dean, currently the most powerful person in the academy, was summoned on the spot.

Vice Dean Fletcher is always around me, within 5 seconds of being summoned. You said you were guarding the door to the training room when you were training.

So, it took exactly 2.8 seconds for Vice Dean Fletcher to arrive in front of me with her voice transmitted in one direction, like a clown sending a telegram with divine power.

“What’s going on?”

Vice Dean Fletcher spoke to everyone in our group. And the complexions of all the Golbin ‘ladies’ who saw the vice-dean speaking loudly turned pale.

But whether the idiot’s complexion turned pale or not was of no interest to us. And as the clown’s very, very, very exaggerated explanation continued, Vice Dean Fletcher’s mood became more violent.

To be honest, I was like, ‘Do you believe this?’, but Vice Dean Fletcher’s mood became tense, as if he had been convinced.

“I see. It’s strange to hear. Miss Melissa Sina was the only daughter of the Marquis Sina family of the Kingdom of Moria. The people over there are either vassal families of the Shina Marquis family or daughters of lesser families.”

“… Yes?”

She was the daughter of a marquis? Is that the kid over there shaking like a rabbit?

No, wait a minute.

“The daughter of a vassal family treats the daughter of the lord’s family she serves… Eat it?”

I thought he came from a Korean-American baronial family because he was teased and teased so much. The marquis family of the Kingdom of Moria, ranked 7th out of 2nd and 7th. Why does he treat me like that… ?

“I need to deal with this urgently. hmm. okay. While playing and eating at Evergreen, there are things that smell like chicken coops, so I will dispatch them urgently.”

“… uh. Could it be that… . Those super people I saw last time?”

“Yes. They are trouble makers.”

oh my god. I can’t believe you used the expression ‘it smells like a chicken coop’ to three superhumans. Vice Dean Fletcher. Do you have multiple lives? Is it not one coin, but one two-and-tee coin?

“First of all, these ladies will be detained as witnesses.”

What started out like that, three days later,

“… Why is this real?”

It has become Lee Wae-jin.

In fact, it is said that the Marquis of Cina had only one child, Melissa, and so he had no choice but to bring in a son-in-law to continue the family line.

However, the Bongshin family that was competing for that position had that thought at some point.

[Melissa is stupid.]

[It is easier to target Melissa rather than the picky Marquis.]

[Let’s gaslight Melissa.]

What started out as a miracle syllogism turned out better than expected, so other thoughts crept in? On homo sex? A dragon appeared? It was a renegade dragon, but it didn’t have the eyes to detect it.

He said he would brainwash the Marquis and turn him into a puppet.

Fortunately, the mistake of the noble ladies, who had become enraged after hearing the news from the family just before work began, reached me.

Did he think that his family would prosper only if the demons did well?

Thanks to them hastily showing their hostility towards me as a candidate, they have captured demons before the job even starts and are torturing them in various ways.

This happened in just a week and two days. In such a situation, it’s obvious what the clever guys will do.

“I’m a fan! Gray!!”

There is a precedent called Melasa, so let’s give it a try. A fan. Since that day, if nothing special has happened, Melissa has been serving us like a butler.

“A fan?”

A shabby guy approached me with a sly smile on his face. And Melissa, who discovered that she was a fan,

“A fan? Gray’s?”

With sparkling eyes, he suddenly came between me and a guy whose name I didn’t know.

“Yes? yes… .”

“Do you know the day Gray arrived at Evergreen Academy?”

“Yes. It was March 7th.”

“Is that so? So, what was the third thing Gray did after arriving at the academy that day?”

“… Yes?”

“The third thing you did. You know? Because you’re a fan?”

The guy who was asked the question broke into a cold sweat and made a stupid face. And the clown’s eyes looking at me were no different from that.

“(Do you know? Baby?)”

‘What. that is. I don’t know either. I told you he was scary.’
