Chapter Index

    ‘I never expected this situation… … !!’

    Three girls fighting with different ideas.

    And the rapid acceleration of the Lalatina strategy, which I thought needed to be done step by step.

    The best situation would have been for Carla to change her reckless thoughts, but when Hye-ryeong stepped forward, things ended up getting even more serious.

    In order to urgently extinguish the situation, I wrote a letter telling her to go to the second floor and dropped it on Eloise’s head… …

    Who could have imagined that the biggest problem came after Heloise was sent to stop the two people?

    “Professor Eloise… … ”

    “Information… Are you sure… ?

    What happened… … ”

    Carla shrinks as if being pushed back by Heloise’s urging.

    Perhaps because she was in front of a faculty member, she had lost all of the confidence she had just a moment ago, and in response to Eloise’s various questions, she was ignoring everything she knew…

    “My brother is a teaching assistant, so I heard various stories… ”

    “I’m a professor too. I’ve heard some stories.

    Still, it is a rumor that anyone living in the royal capital has heard at least once.

    There is no evidence, but it is said that a large cartel in the back alleys is targeting the academy.”

    How openly did Lalatina reveal it before such a rumor was going around so much?

    But even with such rumors going around, the fact that no one could say anything to her may have been the biggest problem.

    You may have heard stories about criminals from the back alleys, but the word “cartel” has a different impact.

    “Cartel… … ?

    Why does the cartel have an academy… … ”

    In response to Yui’s question, Eloise was starting to look troubled.

    It seemed like hesitation, like he was probably saying something unnecessary to the students.

    “I don’t know if it’s accurate, but… I think it’s related to their business.

    It seems like he recently came to talk about formal procedures… ”

    However, perhaps because she felt that she should know what she needed to know, Héloïse was only telling them what she knew.

    In the end, it was inevitable that the girls’ expressions darkened when they heard the story.

    Even though it was a bit of an exaggeration, Yuira had heard about the cartel’s notoriety from Ranier and Aurora every time she visited Enic.

    And Hye-ryeong is deep in thought, as if gauging the other person’s abilities.

    But the other one, Karla, was showing a solemn expression and clenching her cute fists.

    “Then… You also know that if things continue like this, the academy will suffer… ?

    It was the Dean of the Department of Magic who personally recommended that I transfer my research rights, but…

    The person who conveyed the Dean of the Department of Magic’s intentions was Professor Eloise… … !!

    I believe that my research can be put to good use… I believed this wouldn’t happen… ”

    Of course, in reality, let alone interfering with the work of a strong cartel like LaLatina, it is easy to feel a threat to one’s safety just by looking at them.

    But was it because there was a difference between innocence and foolishness?

    Even after hearing the severity of the situation, Carla seemed to be trying to pursue her ideals… ..

    “Umm… … Miss Carla…

    No matter how much you say…

    As a professor, I can’t believe a student would do such a reckless thing…

    We can’t just wait and see… oh… !! ”

    Heloise was holding out her hand to the girls who were a little surprised to see her suddenly holding her head.

    “Professor… ?”

    “Are you okay… … ?”

    “Ah… it’s nothing… !!”

    Eloise, who carefully stepped on something that had fallen on the floor with the shoes she was wearing, was grumbling inwardly and smiling awkwardly.

    ‘If you’re going to drop a letter, isn’t it polite to avoid the corners…?

    If I meet you, I will definitely say something… … ‘

    “Ah… My stomach might hurt a little…

    I’ll be back soon, so let’s talk later?”

    In “… … ? professor… … !?”

    Eloise, perhaps starting to become more skilled at hiding things, pretended to have a stomachache, bent down and snatched the letter from under her shoe.

    She was running to the bathroom of the workshop she had visited before, leaving the students alone.

    “Haaah… Haa… …

    What else this time… … ”

    Heloise locked the door just in case, and took out a letter that was neatly folded inside an envelope.

    Soon, Heloise took out the letter and began to read it, but her exasperated breathing, which was full of complaints, suddenly stopped and her eyes widened as if she had seen something she could not see.

    And the voice that came out a moment later, almost like a scream, may have been a bonus.

    “Mi… Isn’t that crazy… … !!”

    “Professor… !! Does your stomach hurt a lot?

    Would you like me to give you some laxative medicine?”

    “Rice… It’s not constipation… … !!”

    As a result, Heloise got upset and dropped the letter when Hye-ryeong returned after hearing her screams and asked a ridiculous question.

    The small letter that fell at her feet had short sentences written neatly as if they had been printed with type, flickering black on the parchment.

    『Recovering research results.

    Address: 26 Fedierov, 3rd Street.

    Lalatina Safe House… … 』

    “What the hell are you…? … ”

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    The words written on the nameplate in front of the door, 26 Fedierov Street, 3rd Street.

    At first glance, it looked like an ordinary empty house, but there were actually five men sitting around a table in the living room, playing a card game.

    If you look at it alone, it could have seemed like a group of married friends who were kicked out by their wives were just gathering together to kill time until their wives’ anger subsides.

    However, when one of them stood up, slightly opened the door next to him, and glanced inside, there were several trunks and bundles of parchment scattered around the room.

    After checking the room and realizing that there was no problem, the man came back, sat down, picked up his pack of cards, and returned to the game.

    “You bastards!!

    Are you kidding me again?

    Why has the hand changed!!”

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about… … ?

    One plus!! Haha!!”

    “Let’s try something up!!

    Let’s raise the stakes!!

    If you’re scared, do you give up?”

    And in front of the door of the house.

    “There’s someone inside… ”

    “I know that too, right?”

    Hye-ryeong’s natural reply was heard in Yui’s voice as she quietly put her ear to the door, observing the movements inside.

    “Hye-ryeong… ! That’s not what I meant… !

    Are you really planning on doing this? … ?

    More than that… Is this really the house… ?

    Professor, how do you know this? ”

    Then, Yui, who was whispering in a low voice but raising her voice, cupped her forehead, and Eloise, who was next to her, cleared her throat slightly and was casting a round attack.

    “That… I have a helper who gathers information…

    Otherwise there’s no way I would know where this is… ?

    still… To some extent, this is reliable information…

    There must be a reason for me to do this… … ”

    Yui’s eyes were shaking as she saw Eloise trailing off at the end of her sentence.

    However, looking at the expectant Carla next to her, Yui seemed to have nothing to say and could only sigh.

    It was the very next evening that they ended up following the address written in the letter.

    Since each of them had schedules such as school classes or research during the day, they had time to prepare in the name of being perfectly prepared.

    The four women gathered together in the evening and waited until night fell and the crowds subsided.

    They followed the address written in the letter, passed through the alley without any problems, and seemed to have succeeded in arriving in front of the house.

    However, when it came, it was so sloppy that Yui, who was restless with the current feeling of confusion about whether it was true or not, was gently shaking Carla’s arm next to her.

    “Carla… It’s dangerous inside, so stay here.

    Hyeryeong and I will go in.”

    “I didn’t come here to stay still… !

    Let’s just all go in together…

    If you want to find something quickly, you have to have at least one hand… !”

    “Well, what Kazunomiya said is correct.

    Where is a kid who can’t even fight going to go?

    Those are more than enough for me alone.

    You and Kazunomiya should stay here with the professor.

    Securing an escape route is always a must.”

    After taking off the cloak she was wearing, Hye-ryeong was wearing an outfit that reminded her of the assassins’ night clothes, unlike her usual cheongsam or school uniform.

    Hye-ryeong, who was smiling with a confident smile, had smeared something from a medicine bottle she had taken out of her pocket onto the door hinges and was lightly placing her hand on the door handle.

    As she slowly turned the handle of the door, which had no longer made any creaking noises, the door opened quietly.

    Anyway, like Lalatina’s tendency to completely reveal herself.

    Was it her idea to reveal parts that should be hidden in the ordinary?

    In a situation where tight security with dozens or even hundreds of men was not enough, they appeared so lax that they could sneak in right up to the door without a problem.

    “Isn’t that too defenseless…?”

    “Well, on the outside it looks like an ordinary house.

    On the contrary, if you do something bad in a place like this, it may naturally become disguised.

    Tangmun also owns several houses like this.”

    “That… is it okay to tell us…?”

    “It’s okay. What if I just bury it the moment I start talking about it?

    Even if you are a young lady, you don’t look at that part?”

    It was Carla who trembled at Hyeryeong’s creepy words.

    In fact, it would have seemed more suspicious to organize defense personnel in such a flashy manner in such an ordinary place.

    However, once the information is lost, such camouflage completely loses its effectiveness.

    “I’ll finish it soon.

    Just watch and watch.”
