“It’s nice weather.”
The sky is blue, and the cool autumn breeze cools the heat that has not yet subsided. It is a nice day.
On days like this, I wanted to do nothing, lie down in the garden, and leisurely watch the autumn leaves ripen, but I couldn’t.
Soon, a tragedy that does not fit this sunny weather will occur throughout the capital.
Separate from the main force targeting the Academy, a squad of devil worshipers is planning to create disturbances here and there in the royal capital and distract the surrounding area.
Their military power itself was nothing special, but if they set fire to the city, the Knights had no choice but to be dispatched to stop it.
The main force, taking advantage of that opportunity, attacks the academy.
Perhaps because of the trust in the dean and vice dean’s abilities, the academy’s security was not very tight unless there was a special event.
To be precise, it should be said that it is not strong enough to stop devil worshipers.
No matter how deteriorated it was, considering that this was a royal capital, it was not surprising that the discipline of the guards was becoming lax.
Not far away, there is an order of knights protecting the royal family, and the dean has also reached the realm of a superhuman like Fiona, so who would dare attack him?
They will be laughed at for being paranoid and saying that they focus on training while being wary that devil worshipers supported by the empire might attack the academy.
That complacency is what causes students to die, but it is actually a good thing.
Not all of them are like that, but most of the noble students are like Gus’s backwards compatibility.
Does it matter if I die?
Theresina and Lang would have stolen nobles who were thought to be better off alive.
“Oh, the signal fire went off?”
As I stood on the grass and looked at the sky, a gray thread stained the blue sky.
It felt unpleasant, as if someone had suddenly sprinkled ink on a whipped cream cake that had not yet been put on anything.
The number of beacons signaling the start of the fight grew rapidly and soon covered half of the sky.
-Fire!! fire!!!
-Ah, the devil!!!
-fuse!! No, call the knights!!
The screams of people heard everywhere.
It was not a very suitable BGM for enjoying nature.
“Is it okay for it to stay like this? I think it has already started.”
“… Well, we’re not specifically trying to stop the rituals of devil worshipers.”
All you have to do is go the moment the devil summons you or before you are defeated by someone.
“Would you like to have a cup of tea? There is also a piece of cake.”
“… You’re too relaxed.”
Even as Sarah said that, she sat down and enjoyed the whipped cream cake topped with strawberries.
The heartbreaking screams of people crying for help were still echoing throughout the capital, but it had nothing to do with us right now.
It was supposed to be like that… .
“These bastards are targeting my house too?”
A gremlin suddenly appeared screaming, raised its spear high, and invaded the garden.
The gremlin, drooling as if it was hungry, rushed towards us who were leisurely drinking tea… .
“Gerrrr!!”
It was captured by a dryad planted in the garden and became the dryad’s food.
This dryad was a monster used as a familiar in the sea of water, and its level was 41 and it could mimic a tree, so there was no better monster to have in the garden.
In addition to dryads, several fairies and loyalists were placed throughout the mansion.
It hadn’t been long since I bought the mansion, but I didn’t think I could laugh it off if I were caught up in such a trivial terrorist attack and the whole thing burned down.
“… Then shall we go now?”
Now, the time is ripe.
Sarah stood up first, then got up, wiping the whipped cream from the corner of her mouth, and went out to the garden one step ahead and looked around.
It looks like the fire hasn’t reached Noble Street yet.
Unlike the commoners’ street or the dump, the entrance to the nobles’ street was guarded by knights, so it would not have been like the commoners’ street.
However, like the gremlin from before, there will be some that fly through the sky and bypass the knights, so it was only a matter of time before Noble Street turned into chaos.
Everyone will have at least one or two bodyguards with them, so no one will die, but the streets will definitely become a mess.
“I’d love it at the junkyard. Isn’t that right?”
“… I guess so. Actually, there might be a few people from the scrapyard in there.”
“Because it is local procurement… . That seems likely too.”
“But isn’t it too late? What if the dean or vice dean had subdued them before we arrived?”
“Don’t worry about that.”
The devil worshipers and the Empire are not stupid either, so they had already prepared for such a situation a long time ago.
“There is an item called a chain that seals the hero. It is a consumable item that binds enemies below level 50 for a certain period of time, and the Dean is bound to this item.”
Of course, this doesn’t last long, and the dean is eventually released.
But by then everything was already over.
Since there was only one chain to seal a hero, Vice Dean Tyrone remained, but as a warrior, he could not handle the entire academy by himself.
In the route where the devil worshipers’ plan succeeds, a catastrophe occurs.
Tyrone, who witnessed the deaths of many nobles, somehow makes the best judgment on the spot.
Tyrone runs away, leaving behind the burning streets and the evil that descended into this world with the blood of students.
With Kasumi.
Unlike the Dean, who has the excuse of being hit by an enemy item, there is no excuse.
It was obvious that he, who had a relatively inferior family background compared to the dean, would be blamed and held accountable.
We don’t know how he lived after running away with Kasumi and the family’s property.
There is no way to know.
In the original, Felt happened after he was killed by the devil.
“But… .”
What happened in this episode when the Kasumigama sword was obtained?
We hurried along, thinking we might see something interesting.
*****
The Academy, where the status of nobles and commoners was clearly divided, divided nobles and commoners in several ways, one of which was the uniform worn at all times.
Unlike the uniforms of commoner students, the uniforms of noble students had gold thread embroidery on the sleeves and lapels.
In other words, this was proof that they were of noble blood, and noble students did not drape their collars and fold their sleeves as if to boast about this.
However, now that fire and demons have engulfed the academy, it has returned to the students as a sacrificial brand.
The devil worshipers, who had carefully prepared this plan, gave orders to the devils to attack students who had gold thread embroidered on their collars or sleeves.
Of course, the noble students, who were not aware of this fact, could not think of folding their collars or sleeves, and lost their lives at the hands of demons.
-Gurrr!!
The gremlins flew up, lifting the bodies of noble students who had just stabbed their necks with spears.
As the blood spurted from the noble student’s neck fell to the floor, a terrible scene was created, as if blood was raining down.
‘This is terrible… !!’
Kasumi, who was hiding behind the teacher and watching the destruction, held her breath and waited for the demon to leave.
Beside her, the corpse of a gremlin, its head and torso separated, was rolling around carelessly.
At first, she planned to fight against the devil and drive it out, but as the army of devils poured out endlessly, she gritted her teeth and chose to run away.
Judging by the screams coming from outside the academy, this must have been thoroughly calculated.
This was not a problem that could be solved by just one student, Kasumi, defeating one or two demons.
‘Where should I go now?’
At first, I was planning on leaving the academy, but there was no way the devil worshipers would leave me alone.
At the front gate, there would be a devil waiting to guard the street to prevent students from escaping.
It would have been nice if I could escape by climbing over the wall, but I couldn’t because there was a defensive magic on the outer wall of the academy to prepare for such situations.
The newly acquired sword split the gremlin’s body like a piece of paper, but it was not clear whether it could cut the magic on the outer wall.
If you fail to cut through the defensive magic, an alarm will sound immediately and the demons that hear the sound will immediately flock to the wall where Kasumi is.
I couldn’t take that gamble unless I was sure I could cut down the outer wall.
So what should I do?
Kasumi stood up without even being able to come up with an answer.
Demons are rummaging through the remains of a building.
This was no longer a safe place.
Kasumi escaped from the remains of the building, taking advantage of the demons’ lack of surveillance, and ran blindly toward a place in the sky where no demons were visible.
The only good thing about this situation was that the devils were flying in the sky.
If it were a demon hiding among the bushes or collapsed buildings, it would have already been ambushed several times.
Let’s run for a while, looking towards the sky, not the ground.
“Help!!!”
When I immediately looked down at the sound of someone’s voice coming from the front, I saw a noble student with a particularly noticeable gold thread on his collar running towards me, crying.
Kasumi stopped involuntarily at the pitiful sight of the girl running towards her, covered in tears and snot, without caring about her face.
As a foreigner, Kasumi did not have very good memories of the nobles of the Torare Kingdom.
There were more grudges than I could count on two hands, but I couldn’t just ignore them as they were begging for help so desperately.
“Wait!! Now I――!!”
The moment I was about to shout that I was going to save him.
The spear that pierced the girl’s chest transformed into a hook and pulled the girl’s body.
As the body of the girl who died instantly after being pierced through the heart fell limp like a corpse, Kasumi was only then able to see the face of the devil standing behind her.
A hideously distorted green face like a goblin.
The little devil, covered in what looked like rags, had chains wrapped all over his body, and in both hands was holding a spear that pierced the girl’s chest.
The end of the pole was connected to a chain, and it seemed like the chain was wrapped around the pole and pulled the girl’s body down.
“… That guy!”
Although its body was small, the evil mana gushing from its body was still too ferocious for Kasumi to face.
When you are unable to move forward or turn around and run away… .
“Lower pressure!!”
Tyrone suddenly appeared from behind and cut the devil’s body into pieces.
