veronica? Who is that?

The question did not last long. Pieces related to the name Veronica came to mind in my memory, and the woman in front of me kindly explained them.

“You don’t know who it is. To explain a bit, Veronica is a descendant of the Count Tribia family and the captain of the Loved Crew. Surely you wouldn’t say you don’t even know the Trivia family? So hurry and follow me.”

Veronica Trivia. Count Trivia.

It’s a name that’s a bit unwelcoming to me. This is a place that I personally destroyed in my past life.

It’s an uneventful story. At the time, I was in love with Stella, and I had to commit an evil deed that would incur her wrath.

The Trivia family was the sacrifice.

The Count and Countess of Trivia were known to have extremely good taste. So, I became a lowly errand boy, sneaked in there, and somehow bewitched the wife. The deep affection built up over countless years was no match for the supernatural magician’s charm.

In the end, my wife had an affair with me, and I proudly spread it to the world. The wife, who was discovered to be in cahoots with the demons, was kicked out and divorced, but in the process, I fabricated and spread the count’s false accusations.

Naturally, the family was devastated. In despair, the Count and Countess committed suicide elsewhere on the same day.

The eldest daughter, Veronica, used her crazy strength to support the beam, but during the first battle between the continent and the Demon World, Jack, the Duke of Demon World, took the lead and knocked off Veronica’s head. That’s how the Trivia family collapsed.

I remember Veronica because she was an unusual person who covered half of her face with a mask.

Jeopuk-.

“What do you do? Don’t follow me quickly. You stuck out your flippers earlier, but now you have ears too?”

ha… Honestly, I don’t want to follow along. If I followed Maria now, I would be able to observe her.

However, the bun-haired person who was the head of the reading club said that Veronica was a powerhouse in the third grade. It would be quite annoying if someone with great influence saw it.

Well, it looks like it’s already been filmed.

I had no choice but to follow the female senior. The female senior walked slowly and moved to the third-year dormitory. I quietly trampled on her footprints.

Just because I was a 3rd year student did not mean that the dormitory was any different from a 1st year student. What if there are a few more instruments? This is the dormitory that Maria and I will use one day, so I kept my eyes on every corner of the dormitory.

As the steps stopped, a door appeared. My senior told me to open it and go in.

There is no reason to bend your back. I confidently opened the door and entered.

“You’re here.”

The room was decorated with luxurious furniture for a dormitory. These are furniture purchased by students with their own money, rather than supported by the academy.

There was an antique chair placed in the middle. On top of it, a naked woman was sitting with her thighs crossed.

“Sit comfortably. I called you because I wanted to talk.”

“You should sit on the chair, and I should sit on the floor?”

“I’m comfortable in this position. If you want a chair, get it from over there. Because it doesn’t matter.”

“Let’s just sit down, okay. The view is a bit bad, though.”

“… I was sloppy.”

I took off my shoes and sat cross-legged on the floor. The faint white color inside the twisted thighs was barely visible.

When he made fun of it, the girl Veronica got down from the chair and sat down. Her face blushed slightly, as if she was embarrassed that she almost showed her underwear for a moment.

A red mask is written on half of Veronica’s face. That’s unusual. It’s rare to see only half of it covered like that. I have no intention of hiding my identity, but is there something I don’t want to be discovered?

Anyway, the chair was empty. I quickly got up and put my butt on the spot. Veronica stares at me with puzzled eyes.

So what. You woke up. I shamelessly took the chair with all my might.

“… Are you not paying attention to your senior’s views?”

“Yes? I beg your pardon? Because I’m a person who doesn’t care about other people’s feelings. I can’t hear you well?”

“You’re a rude freshman.”

As I pushed her away, I spread her legs wide, and Veronica lifted her head and stared at my face. It’s clear that he looks quite perplexed.

“Did you actually do that to your senior?”

“Do not generalize. First, let everyone come and go… I just don’t want to be polite to you.”

“… When you say that, I have nothing to say. Sorry, my situation was a bit urgent.”

Veronica said that she was a third-year student, and even though she apologized, she did not even bow her head. Instead, he placed his palms together and held them together.

It’s surprising. I thought he would be furious and angry right away. Was he like this?

“I think I know why you called me, but can I guess first?”

“No, I’ll tell you.”

“I don’t like it. You called me because of the book club, right? To disturb you.”

“… That’s correct. How did you know?”

“I heard it. To the manager. A senior named Veronica doesn’t want the book club to continue.”

“Then you must have heard that I am a powerhouse in the third year.”

“I heard it, but wouldn’t you be embarrassed if you said that out of your own mouth?”

“Because it’s true.”

“Even so, you can’t match the power of senior Cheonwoong. Isn’t this also true? Very obvious.”

“You… You really have a knack for getting under the skin of people. If it were any other senior than me, I would have punched you in the face by now.”

That’s what I hope for. You’re a young girl who doesn’t know anything about this world.

If the opponent attacks first, he or she can beat him up and then claim self-defense.

“That’s right, I probably blew it. Instead, you probably couldn’t get it right.”

“I heard it was Class A, but even considering that, it’s a bit harsh. I’ve never seen a new student as rude as you.”

“This is my first time seeing someone as cheap as you.”

“Oh, my head hurts. Why are there all these kids? Okay, I have one favor to ask. I think I’ll be the only one who gets tired if I talk to you.”

Veronica scores a goal. I shrugged my shoulders smugly.

“Please do not join a reading club. It’s a request and a compulsion.”

“Why? There is no reason for me to listen to what a third-year senior says.”

“Because I want that. And that will be beneficial to your academy life.”

“Sounds like a threat, not a coercion?”

“It’s okay to look at it that way. I can’t bear to see that bitch Charlotte happy. I don’t mean to cause any harm to you. I will compensate you sufficiently. If it was a threat, nothing like that would have happened, right?”

Saying that, Veronica pointed to the corner of the room behind the chair with her thumb. There was a black bag lying there that seemed to anyone who looked at it to say, ‘I have a lot of money.’

“Are you materialistic?”

“My family, the Earl’s family.”

“It must be nice to have a lot of money.”

But my house is a ducal house. To begin with, human currency is nothing more than scraps of paper with numbers written on them that are useless to me.

If you need money later, just print out a bunch of fake bills. Of course, if you suddenly become a wealthy person, countries like the Empire will be suspicious, but you can also create multiple false identities.

“I’m not interested in that kind of thing, just tell me one thing. Why do you hate book clubs so much? With senior Charlotte.”

“… .”

I don’t hear an answer.

Well, did I mess with Yeokrin?

“Phew… Yeah, whatever. It must be infinitely unfair on your part. You were trying to have fun with your friends and join a club by yourself, but some third-year senior appeared and tried to separate you. Let me tell you what you’re curious about.”

Veronica, who was silent for a moment, raised her hand. A hand slowly rose and removed the mask covering half of her face.

An ugly face was revealed. Incomparable to the other half, his face has a different color, as if he had been burned. That’s why he was only wearing half of his mask.

“This is what Charlotte is like. Because of that bitch, I lost a precious opportunity.”

“Is that your motive? For mistreating that senior?”

“Yes, I hope that bitch gets ruined more cruelly than me. don’t worry. I’m not a fool who harms you for no reason. If you break your promise to Charlotte and leave the book club, I will fully support you at least for the one year you are at Eden Academy. I hate Charlotte so much.”

Looking at the eyes, it’s not a lie. Veronica seemed to have decided that she had shown enough scars and put on a road mask.

“I couldn’t bear to say this to a saint. I don’t think they will listen to me anyway, and I don’t want to make the Holy Church look bad. But you are different. I heard you two are pretty close? If I persuade you, won’t the great saint go to another club?”

“Okay, okay, I understand. You don’t need to explain further.”

“Then, what is the answer?”

“The answer? What are you asking?”

It’s natural.

“Have some taffy.”

“… To refuse? Are you showing some chivalry because you feel sorry for Charlotte?”

“Chivalry? Don’t talk like a bastard. I don’t know if it’s Charlo Change or Bun Machine, but I didn’t even remember their names until just now. I don’t keep bugs like that in my head. Do you ever remember a rat lying on the street?”

“… He was just crazy.”

“The reason I joined the book club was because I just wanted to do so. I want to participate in the ‘reading club’ with ‘Maria’.”

『To Eden Academy’s reading club.』

Ever since that day when my head was cut off on the guillotine.

500 years have passed, but what I see has never changed.
