Chapter Index

    After finishing all the business at the training ground, we went to the room where Camilla was.

    Why Camilla called us here.

    It was strange that Lucius, who was supposed to go and catch the demon right away, followed along so obediently.

    Since it was good, I nodded my head too.

    From the beginning.

    My goal was to kill time somehow.

    In the first place, the original purpose of the duel was simply to kill time.

    It can be said that the purpose was achieved by unintentionally knocking out Lucius.

    … Lily would be satisfied with this.

    However, the really important issue is from now on.

    “Um… .”

    I placed my hand on my chin, made myself comfortable, and thought.

    Since he had declared that he would follow Lucius and help him, it was something that could not be said with just one mouth.

    … Should I pretend to catch it and just barely miss it?

    As I was chewing my lips and thinking, Camilla knocked on the desk.

    “Hey, Grandma~ Would you please pay attention to what I’m saying?”

    Why does he bring up his age like that when he’s not that young himself?

    Pouting her lips.

    However, if I bring up my age and fight with him, it will definitely be a mud fight.

    … I guess I, as a respectable adult, will have to take care of things here.

    “… I’ll listen to you, so don’t call me that anymore.”

    He waved his hands around like that and looked at Camilla with a pouty expression.

    The damn brat let out a ‘whoosh’ sound as he let out his breath, and then made his signature annoyed expression.

    “I thought I was getting old and losing my hearing.”

    “… What?”

    -Picky

    A vein appeared on his forehead.

    Either way, the damn kid turned away from me and stared straight ahead again.

    “Then I’ll keep talking~”

    That kind of behavior is even more disgusting.

    I came here to ask you to listen to my story, but why are you acting like that?

    Even a three-year-old wouldn’t do that.

    Just as I was about to stand up to begin teaching him,

    “Master… You must not fall for such trivial provocations.”

    Anonymous grabbed my shoulder and shook his head slightly.

    “… Yeah.”

    If you hang out with a fucking brat like that, you’re going to lose.

    I bit my lips hard to stop my trembling body and sat up straight again.

    “Do you know the information on the demons you are chasing?”

    Lucius bit his lip in annoyance at Camilla’s question and shook his head slightly.

    “… I don’t know.”

    “Phew, I knew you guys would do that~ Okay, here.”

    Camilla threw the paper on the desk and looked smug.

    There were countless letters written on that paper.

    … Since I can’t read, I can’t figure out what’s written there.

    “Hmm.”

    As I was biting my lip in embarrassment, Myeong-i looked at me and opened his mouth slightly.

    “After the story is over, I will read it to you myself.”

    “Oh, thank you.”

    Without refusing, he nodded.

    He smiled slightly and took his gaze away from the nameless man, then looked at them again.

    “What is this?”

    Lucius glanced at the paper, his eyes widening in disbelief.

    “You guys are so sloppy that you probably don’t have any proper information.”

    “… Is this information about the Demon Tribe?”

    Camilla didn’t bother answering, but nodded her chin toward the paper.

    Lucius nodded at Camilla’s reaction and quickly looked through the paper.

    The corners of Lucius’ mouth rose noticeably, as if the information he was looking for was correct.

    In contrast to Lucius, I was constantly sweating profusely.

    Ugh… You shouldn’t find it quickly.

    Why does that fucking kid always do things that are useless to me?

    Didn’t you say from the beginning that you had something to do?

    What on earth made you change your mind and suddenly help Lucius?

    He bit his lips in anxiety.

    Lucius looked at the paper for a moment, then smiled and bowed, feeling refreshed.

    “Thank you.”

    “No matter how sloppy you are, you know how to be grateful, right?”

    Camilla is under a curse that will kill her if she doesn’t take down her opponent.

    This time too, Camilla smiled her signature excited smile, but Lucius just nodded with a refreshing smile.

    “Ugh… .”

    Camilla waved her hand slightly, perhaps losing interest at Lucius’ boring reaction.

    “Then go now, I’m done with business.”

    So everyone got up from their seats and the mood was such that I, who had been shaking my leg, suddenly got up from my seat.

    “Ugh!”

    Naturally, everyone’s eyes were turned to me.

    “… Master?”

    “Huh? What is it, grandma?”

    But those kinds of gazes are burdensome.

    I held it in for a long time.

    No matter how much I think about it, if we leave right now…

    All I can see is a future where I will be in trouble because the demons will be defeated in an instant.

    More than that… .

    I got up in a hurry, but what on earth should I say?

    My eyes were spinning.

    After suffering in that awkward silence for a long time,

    Anonymous looked at me for a moment.

    As if he noticed something in me, he nodded and turned his gaze towards Camilla.

    “Camilla.”

    I looked at that nameless person with admiration.

    As expected, my disciple!

    When the teacher is in trouble, he helps him right away!

    Bangsilbangsil – A smile appeared.

    Camilla, who turned her gaze away from me at the anonymous voice, opened her mouth with a blank expression.

    “Pedo check, do you have anything to say?”

    “…”

    At Camilla’s words, the nameless man’s brow furrowed miserably.

    No, more than that.

    The words coming out of her mouth are truly ominous.

    … A pedophile inspector, our nameless one?

    He looked at the nameless man with an expression full of astonishment.

    Elia, who had been just listening quietly until now, couldn’t stand it this time.

    “Ugh! Oh, I’m sorry… .”

    He let out a small laugh and then walked behind Lucius with an embarrassed expression.

    There was an awkward silence for a moment, and Camilla, who had been tapping the ground with her foot, narrowed her eyebrows and looked at Moo-myeong.

    “Pedo check, why didn’t you answer when I called you?”

    “… May I ask why you are helping us?”

    This time, Anonymous chose to ignore Camilla’s words.

    He continued speaking with his lips tightly bitten.

    But rather, the sight of an anonymous figure who did not deny anything sent a chill down my spine.

    … Really?

    My disciple is a criminal?

    Of course, it was Camilla who brought it up, and I didn’t believe it even though I had been seeing the anonymous for a while.

    I think it’s half a joke too.

    however.

    One question is clouding my mind.

    Has Anonymous ever done anything to Camilla that would make her a pedo?

    If you think about it, Camilla doesn’t really put others down with such wrong words.

    … That doesn’t mean I’m really a grandmother, but it’s true that I’m old.

    He shook his head and turned his gaze to Camilla, continuing his thoughts.

    How on earth did she call an anonymous person a pedo… .

    He tilted his head.

    Hmm… If you had feelings for Camilla, it would be natural for you to be called that… .

    for a moment.

    In a flash, a thought crossed my mind.

    By any chance, does Anonymous really have feelings for Camilla…?

    Once you have a question.

    Events that I had forgotten about began to creep into my mind one after another, as if my mind was being caught up in my thoughts.

    Come to think of it.

    Anonymous already has a history of taking the side of that damn brat in place of the master who raised him.

    And if that was the nameless appeal that made Camilla fall in love at first sight… .

    My head started spinning quickly and the puzzle pieces started to come together.

    Anonymous said he liked women who were two inches shorter than him.

    Although he clearly said it was his hand, if Anumyeong mistook it and it was actually two spans long, he would be about the same height as that little kid.

    Plus, there’s even talk that association is good… .

    … This can’t be happening.

    I still can’t believe it, but… it seems like Anonymous has feelings for Camilla.

    Let’s recall that fact.

    It felt like someone was grabbing my heart and shaking it.

    …Why does my chest feel so suffocated?

    By any chance, is this something I’ve only heard about?

    Is this the heart of a parent sending their child to a woman they don’t like?

    “…”

    no.

    It’s not confirmed yet.

    … later, it is certain that you will ask the anonymous person directly and hear the answer.

    Conflicts that arise from lack of communication are the most useless… .

    He nodded his head creakingly.

    My heart still feels heavy.

    I lifted my head to listen to their conversation again, forgetting the thoughts that were swirling around in my head.

    Camilla opened her mouth, waving her hands as if the anonymous question was nothing.

    “I found it by chance too, so that’s the end of my curiosity?”

    “… Yes.”

    Nameless frowned, lowered his head, and quickly left the room.

    When I left, I saw the face of the anonymous person I saw briefly – it looked like he was quite hurt by the redness.

    I guess I need to offer some comfort.

    … I have to ask the anonymous person if it is true.

    Holding his pounding head, he let out a small sigh and followed the nameless man.

    “… Then let’s go too.”

    “Oh right, a sloppy warrior.”

    “Yes?”

    “If you go there and find something like a scabbard, let me know.”

    “… scabbard? Okay.”
