Apart from the entire empire floundering in chaos.

The cradle regained its usual appearance in just two days.

Teachers still work in the damaged Sealstone area.

Although the injured people from the incident that occurred the day before yesterday are still in the hospital ward.

Everyone in the cradle is far from ‘normal’ to be shaken to this degree.

“Do you think they won’t take the test just because the gate is open in the cradle?! Aren’t you concentrating?!”

“If the situation is like this, you have to work even harder! Dear students!”

These are juniors who will soon take over from them.

Those juniors can’t make one serving? That is how much they are involved in the field.

I retired because I was tired, but there is nothing worse than coming back.

So it was natural for teachers to grit their teeth and go to class.

“I can’t do it! Test the notes as soon as class starts tomorrow!”

“The teacher clearly warned me. See the self-evaluation next time.”

“Aaaaa!!”

“Gaaa!!”

All morning classes. From 1st to 4th grade.

In a way, it was natural for all the students to hold their heads.

Today again, no one was sitting around Deus.

Only one person. Only Yurishia was opposite him.

Deus, I’m not worried too much because I’m in a situation now.

Rather, I thought it was a good thing. If someone sits next to you, you might hit them with their arm.

From my perspective, it’s a ‘tap’, but from the other person’s perspective, it’s literally a car accident.

Then why? Are Cradle students still like this?

It’s a supernova that easily defeated a newly appeared enemy by itself.

He is a junior who truly deserves the title of cradle hero!

‘no. A hero, a supernova, something… . Why are you frowning like that? !’

‘Is that by any chance? ‘If you come up to me and talk to me, I’ll cut you in half with the spoon you’re holding?’

‘It looks like a lot of people have already gone and bothered you, right? That must be the face of someone who was buried alive.’

‘How on earth is that a junior? ‘I think I’ll faint if I run into you on the street!’

His face was usually quite fierce, but today it went beyond that level.

conflict! The moment I shouted, it felt like the restaurant would split in two and collapse.

‘I want to talk to you. I really want to walk… !’

‘curious. Ahhh! I’m very curious!’

‘Junior. I don’t want you to smile, so please don’t just frown… .’

A person of the opposite sex who wants to approach and talk to the person everyone is paying attention to.

A battle of survival instincts that threatens to kill you if you approach them takes place everywhere.

It probably couldn’t have been more intense if there had been sound effects.

“Um.”

The main character who is actually frowning. It’s not because I feel bad or because it’s annoying.

‘Today’s restaurant menu. It’s changed… ! thank you thank you! ‘Thank you, devil!’

The pitfall is that until I received my meal, I thought the menu was seafood bibim sauce.

Due to the gate, all the candles that were scheduled to be delivered to the restaurant were damaged.

As a result, today’s lunch was hastily changed to a different menu.

‘It’s a worldview mixed with Gukbbong, but it’s disappointing if bibimbap is missing. cancer.’

In a world where bread and soup are supposed to be eaten, vegetables and red pepper paste! ha ha ha!

They even had sesame oil on it, as if they had set it up properly!

Deus, who was trying hard to play with the spoon, looked at Yurishia with a thought.

“Eurisia.”

“Ah, yes. Deus.”

“Please. Eat it slowly. I feel like I’m going to pretend everything I see.”

“I’m sorry. I’ll be careful!”

Although I said that.

―Papapapat!

“… .”

Even today, in the end, Yurishia ate twice as fast as Deus.

Actually, I also want to eat slowly. I want to match the pace with the person sitting in front of me.

However, to think that Deus might sit and wait because of him.

The speed naturally increased and swallowing slowly became automatic.

Deus looked at Yurishia for a moment and then shrugged his shoulders.

Well, there are people like that. These people are naturally fast eaters.

It seems that Yurishia is one of them. Or do you like bibimbap?

“Did you quit your part-time job after just one day?”

“Cheer, I was going to do that at first… I thought it was fun to do. Let’s try a little more.”

“Good. To work hard. Fighting.”

Deus thinks it’s a struggle to earn pocket money.

Yurishia believes that this is a support that comes from the heart.

They are both entangled in each other’s illusions and are very upset.

“… Deus.”

The pink puppy that had been sitting quietly waiting cautiously opens its mouth.

“I heard everything. this time… It’s no different from Deus saving everyone in the cradle.”

Then Deus had to stop spooning for a moment.

Did you get it? I? Rather, it should be seen as putting him in a crisis.

In fact, if only the seal stone had been intact, there would have been no way for the gate to be created.

Because the opponent is Luciel. It was fortunate that she was the third princess of the empire.

If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have been able to avoid responsibility.

“The investigation team came into the cradle earlier. By now, the monsters Deus defeated… .”

“Devil.”

uh? What did you just say?

“Not a monster. It’s the devil.”

“Evil, evil?”

“You can think of them as the main characters who have been sending monsters through the gate over the past few decades.”

“How do you know that?”

“Originally, all bosses have a bit of an explanation-oriented temperament.”

Explanation? What is it? Yurishia blinks her eyes.

“So. It means he said it with his own mouth.”

“Ahh.”

“I patted it a few times and it started blowing on its own without even asking.”

Still, he said he had pride in his appearance, so he didn’t blow it all up.

The other vanguards, the main unit, and even the king will come soon. Just wait.

Deus shrugged his shoulders and was just about to continue speaking.

“If you don’t mind. I want to hear that story too.”

Yurishia, startled, quickly turns her head to my side.

I didn’t notice at all. It’s coming this close.

There was no sense of presence at all. It’s a human, but it doesn’t look like a human!

“Can I sit down? Student?”

In “? Ah yes! Oh, please sit down!”

“Thank you.”

Next to Yurishia. Opposite of Deus. A middle-aged man sitting there.

His identity was the same man who appeared in front of Luciel not long ago.

“I heard it on the way. You are that unidentified monster. No, devil? You defeated that thing, right?”

“… That’s right.”

“I see. ah. My introduction was late. Helken is the investigation team leader.”

Investigation team. That’s the person Yurishia was talking about a moment ago.

As the name suggests, are you here to find out what happened?

“That person must be a Deus student. Where is this?”

“Yu, my name is Yurishia!”

“You’re a pretty junior. This is how my daughter should grow up.”

“Thank you!”

After adjusting the assortment of greetings appropriately. Helken looked at Deus blankly.

I roughly understand what it means. This means that the details will be discussed elsewhere.

I almost finished lunch by now. Yurishia’s plate must have already been empty.

Deus stood up and headed to a deserted place with the two men and women.

“… Phaaa! Sue, I thought I was suffocating to death… !”

“Now I know what it means to be able to tear a person to death with just momentum.”

“Isn’t there really a monster hidden behind that back? I guess that’s right?!”

Little did he know that the restaurant he disappeared into became a lake where a wild animal left.

*

It’s been 10 minutes since I sat on the bench and listened to Deus’ story.

Helken scribbled something down in his notebook and then opened his mouth.

“… therefore. The monster you defeated. No, says the devil. A beast that they have been using to explore this area for decades. By our standards, is it a monster being sent?”

“I was just talking about something like that.”

“I don’t understand. Was there a need for such a long search?”

I don’t know about that either. He shook his head to mean that.

Helken also didn’t seem to have any intention of asking further questions.

“I would like to ask if there is anything else.”

“This is all I can say for sure.”

“I understand. I’ll have to find out the rest by looking at the evidence you gave me. Thank you very much for your sincere answer.”

If this had been the novel I was originally reading, it could have been a prophet.

Here, you don’t know the future, so there’s nothing good about talking recklessly.

“Deus.”

When the conversation between the two men seems to have come to an end, Yurishia approaches.

“I’ll go first. It’s time for part-time work soon… !”

“Really? I’m going to be late. Go quickly. No, you should have said it first and left?”

“Well, I don’t think it’s polite to do that… .”

Ugh. Anyway, no needless worries. Okay, go quickly. hurry!

When Deus was so annoyed, Yurishia waved both hands and left first.

“… .”

“… .”

The pink head gradually moves away. Then, it disappears altogether.

Between the two remaining men. Some strange current begins to flow.

“… Deus student.”

“Yes. Commander Helken.”

“You already knew. Right?”

well? Deus smiled once instead of answering.

Helken was shocked at that sight. I had to let out a sigh.

“There’s nothing to take away. Even back then, it was a long time ago. I see it today. From the moment I spoke with Her Highness the Princess. You probably knew I was nearby. Am I wrong?”

“No comment.”

“Silence is a strong affirmation. For some reason, I thought the way he was treating me was strange. Ha, how can this be? It’s time for me to retire too. The stealth was enough to fool even Sabel. Now this young. No, it has reached a level where even young students can be caught.”

I suddenly feel very sad. Because it’s proof that I’m getting old.

Because it means you really have to step down from the front lines now!

The only thing that is less unfair is that the person in question is not an ordinary student.

It is a monster that turned a cradle teacher and a detachment of people into corpses.

‘I am impressed by Her Royal Highness’s insight. I think I know why your eyes sparkled so much.’

Is it simply because I discovered an outstanding junior?

Or something… Is it because of some other reason?

Helken thought for a moment and quickly cleared his mind.

As a subject, there was no reason to worry about this, nor should it.
