I Became a Villain who Receives Obsession

88 – Arrival

The principal’s office located on the second floor of the Phrygia Academy, right next to the Academic Conference.

There, with only the chirping of birds and the warm wind blowing from the open window, Adelie, the principal of the school, was looking through stacks of papers piled on the desk.

Facts about incoming cadets

Land use permit for expansion of school facilities, etc.

I read the document slowly while wiggling my legs.

Then, her gaze passed by the densely written text stopped at a certain point.

“It’s Mine—”

It was a letter addressed to Adelie personally.

The correspondence contained information that beings presumed to be demons had appeared in Empsted and Belgrove, respectively.

Empstead and Belgrove.

Both of them were also places where her students went out for field practice.

She undid her legs, leaned back in her chair, and read aloud the last line of her letter.

“A demon that controls monsters, is it?”

Adelie quietly closed her eyes with her gaze directed upward.

It was because I suddenly remembered things that had happened in the past.

She laughed involuntarily.

“That’s not even funny.”

I inadvertently breathe energy into her hand holding her letter.

A flashing blue flame ignites and at the same time the letter in her hand disappears without a trace.

Adelie turned her head and looked out the window.

The setting sun was painting the sky red beyond the imperial palace in the distance.

Perhaps because of that, even Adelie’s eyes were red.

“Reports from Belgrove say that a demon named Goetia was using bloodstone to control the orcs.”

“Orcs?”

Adelie asked in a puzzled way at Bella’s words, who had been standing there until now.

She is the instructor in charge of Class A, which is currently on an outside practice, and was the one who wrote the report Adelie had just seen.

“It was not enough that the orc suddenly appeared, it is said that the savage orc quickly calmed down as the demon approached.”

“When it comes to blood fossils, you must be referring to the red jewels used in magic tools.”

A blood fossil that is not used much now, but was used a lot in the past as a material for magic tools.

It’s partly because the only mine that was mined was abandoned, but it’s no longer used as a substitute for blood fossils was discovered.

The main reason was the low efficiency of mana and problems related to stability.

Lost in her thoughts for a moment, Adelie brushed back her blue hair, untied her legs, and stood up from her seat.

“When the students return, I will go out for a while so that I can gather information about each town again.”

“You mean going out?”

Adelie answered Bella’s question with her soft smile.

“Let’s go to the imperial palace.”

A giant statue at the main entrance of the academy.

The symbol of Phrygia Academy, which is said to have perfectly reproduced the shape of Hairon, who was called the human king in the past.

Looking up at the gigantic being, each of us uttered a single word.

“It seems like it’s been a really long time.”

“Whoops, only three days have passed.”

“I feel like it’s been 3 weeks.”

I didn’t expect that the academy would be so welcoming even though I had only lived in a foreign country for three days.

‘No, I couldn’t have thought like this if I had spent it peacefully.’

Dealing with dozens of goblins, being chased by orcs, and finally encountering demons.

It may be because she went through too many things in her first practice field.

‘Or….’

Maybe he’s feeling mentally tired because of the kids next to him.

“….”

“….”

Elaine has a slightly dissatisfied expression on her face, and Raina has a colder air for some reason.

They are currently on both sides of me, each of them making me feel bad! Is clearly revealing.

Anyone passing by would know that something was not to their liking.

“Hey, Altein is now a lodging… no. Let me go first.”

“Whoops, it looks like cats fighting.”

“What are you talking about, Hilda?”

“Nothing, whooping.”

And Hilda or Hans, who sensed it, avoids her seat so that sparks do not fly.

She naturally tried to sympathize with him, but failed because Elaine grabbed her by the collar next to her.

“You must have been tired from the long trip, so let’s take a break now.”

“… Yes.”

“Raina, are you going to the instructor?”

“You don’t care where I go, do you?”

“Yes… It’s long.”

“… Then I will go first.”

‘Why are you doing this all of a sudden?’

Reina said very calmly and then went to the other side.

I looked bitterly at Reina’s back and headed to her dormitory with Elaine, who was stuck like a gum ticket.

‘It will be solved again.’

I don’t think he made any particular mistakes, and it could be that he was simply giggling because he was tired.

Or it could be that you are ashamed to sit on my lap now.

No, but didn’t she say she would sit down?

“….”

“The female dormitory is over there. Elaine.”

“Oh, I know.”

“Then why do you keep holding on to my clothes?”

Even though she passed the elevator to the girls’ dorm, Elaine continued to follow me.

I tried to ignore it and go to my room, but I didn’t let go of my uniform.

That’s why I’m a little worried about the eyes of the dormitory lobby.

“… It’s family anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”

Elain muttered with her mouth pouting.

‘Mmm….’

On the way to Elaine’s question, “How am I?”, In the first place, I gave the answer that there is a difference between feeling like a family member and liking someone of the opposite s*x.

Since she was Elaine who had been living alone all along, I thought she would really like it if I called her family.

She actually liked it too.

But when I returned to the capital, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

Suddenly, I was alone, and then it became serious as if I realized something, and then I got angry again like now.

I ask why, but they don’t answer.

“It’s almost time for dinner… So, did you make it?”

“Joe, good!— No, if the Count said that….”

“You said you were coming.”

Elaine seems happy again at my words, then clears her throat and tries to hide her expression.

… I can’t figure out what the heck it is.

“… Neither do I.”

After a simple meal, I put Elaine, who was dozing off in the corner, on the bed, and took out her notebook from the drawer and perused it.

It was a notebook where I wrote down the overall information and stories of the game after I first came here, so I was looking for information about Goetia here.

But, as expected, I couldn’t find any information about Goetia.

Even if I forget something, it’s normal to remember it when I see the name or the look of it.

There are two ways to think about this.

First. The demon named Goetia is an existence that will be destroyed in the original work.

She can’t appear in the game because she was destroyed by someone somewhere.

Second. The story was twisted because the villain, Altane, who occupied a significant proportion, did not turn black.

As a result, an original character was created.

Both are things that could happen at this point.

‘If the former… Does that mean that Goetia will soon disappear?’

Someone annihilates Goetia in a dark place that cannot be seen in the game.

Is there anyone who can annihilate such a demon?

At that time, as if out of nowhere, someone passed through my mind.

It might have been possible with him.

‘Altein… What about that guy who ran out of the academy and wandered around the continent?’

Wouldn’t it be possible if it was Altane, who was endlessly jealous of the main character, Siegfried, and even had his heirloom black sword taken away?

How did a guy who later colluded with the demons and was completely corrupted come to the eyes of the demons?

If Goetia was destroyed as a means of proof….

‘Is it too delusional?’

It could simply be the result of a twisted world view.

I didn’t have any information yet, so I crossed out the word ‘Altein’ written on the notebook and erased it.

Besides Goetia, there are still things to check.

First of all, the existence of demons is transmitted to the imperial palace after this outside practice.

This is just a matter of time before it spreads, as Raina has submitted her report to Bella.

Until now, Mephisto’s existence had been hidden, but now that another demon’s existence was discovered, it was time to make a move in the imperial palace.

When the imperial palace moves, the number of knights spread throughout the empire increases, and the demons who sense this cause terrorism in more diverse places.

After dispersing the power like that, the demons finally start to appear.

Mephisto, who appeared in the academy earlier, is a scouting role.

The demon control magic that Goetia conducted is a method to use when they invade this place.

Goetia.

Hilda.

I wrote two new names where I had erased Altane and closed the notebook.

First of all, the course of action until the next training session was decided.

The investigation focused on Goetia and Hilda, the original characters that I had no memory of.
