Chapter 230 (1) - The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy
“Hoohoo, praise my glorious return!”
What is this?
I couldn’t get used to Fron’s suddenly changed voice and stared at her blankly.
Fron was showing the same arrogant attitude as before, but it made me wonder what all this was about.
Did she even hear me properly?
Then why is she talking like that?
I told Fron to live her life responsibly, but I couldn’t understand why she was using the same tone of voice as before.
Fron gave me a faint smile and opened her mouth.“I've thought about it for a long time.”
“What do you mean?”
“As you said, this body must take responsibility, for the children who died instead of me, and for Fron, that’s the right thing to do. But I couldn’t shake off the guilt.”
That’s why I was late, I needed time to think.
Saying the same thing, Fron looked at me.
“This body has decided to live Fron’s life instead.”
“But t
“I know what you're going to say, you want to argue that it’s not taking responsibility, it’s avoidance.”
“……That’s right.”
“So, what am I supposed to do?”
“Huh?”
I stared at Fron with blank eyes for a moment.
I didn’t expect her to be so brazen.
Fron chuckled.
“All I have to do is take responsibility, if I don't do this, I don't think I can stand it.”
“I will take responsibility, but if I am in pain and sadness, those children will not like it either. So I decided to live Fron's life.”
So you can't stand the guilt and you're going to try to forget it like this?
I wanted Fron to live her life selfishly.
Ironically, I wanted her to live her life responsibly.
What Fron is showing now was different from what I expected.
But it wasn't a bad thing, was it?
What was it all about?
What was important?
In the end, isn't it enough just to take responsibility?
Those words resonated with me.
Those who suffer because of the discarded settings I didn’t use.
Maybe it was my fault.
I'm not sure if I wrote it or not, but there are definitely people who are suffering because of it.
So I will take responsibility.
But what am I supposed to do?
No matter how I take responsibility, what am I supposed to do?
Something in my heart rippled like a pebble thrown into a still lake.
“
I opened my mouth, which seemed reluctant to let go.
Clank-.
Soon, Fron opened the prison door.
“Come out, now that you've decided not to die, we need to find a way to live.”
“All right.”
“We're finally escaping!”
Kyle jumped up and down with joy and jumped out of his seat.
Tsk tsk.
How reckless.
Clicking my tongue at the excited Kyle, I dusted myself off and got up.
“Adel.”
Then Fron called me.
I turned to Fron.
Fron looked at me and said.
“Can I ask how you know about my past?”
“……
I hesitated for a moment.
I wondered if it was okay to tell Fron about the pendant.
Actually, there was no reason why I couldn’t tell her, but for some reason, I felt that I should be the only one who knew about the pendant.
I wonder why.
There's no reason why I shouldn't tell her.
I decided to trust my gut for now.
My intuition was sharp in a way.
“I will tell you later.”
“Hmm, all right.”
Unexpectedly, Fron nodded her head meekly.
I didn't expect her to back down so easily.
I was prepared to answer if she kept pressing.
But Fron seemed to mean what she said.
“If you don’t want to tell me, there must be a reason, I'll trust you.”
Fron added.
“And for some reason, I feel like I saw you in the distant past, I couldn't have, since I’ve only lived inside the walls. I wonder why, I feel like I have memories.”
Does she remember the past I intervened in with the pendant?
But that didn’t make sense.
Even if the pendant had the function of recreating the past, it was only a recollection, it couldn’t intervene in the past.
But she says she remembers.
‘……Is there something I don't know?’
Perhaps the pendant held a great secret, one that I could never know.
Ugh.
I let out a sigh.
I didn’t know why I felt like I had more and more to do.
Still, I’m glad Fron let it slide for now.
‘……Now what should I do?’
I went over the things I had to do.
First, I had to escape from the Lust Territory.
And that would only be possible if I killed Pria.
And then what?
Sssk-.
I looked down at the red dagger.
Ares said it was a memento left by his friend.
However, seeing the functions of the red dagger lately, it seemed like it was more than just a weapon limited to the Bloodlust.
Should I say that it feels like another secret that I don’t know about is hidden?
……I had a headache.
The vacation was almost over.
When will I get information about the red dagger?
I had to resolve the scattered tasks quickly.
First,
“Let’s go.”
“Where to?”
“Don't we have to keep the promise we made?”
“
Fron's eyes widened at my words.
It’s understandable.
What I said was sworn to Fron in Sytan.
“I will kill your mother for you.”
“Are you out of your mind?”
“Yes, there’s no problem now.”
I had recovered most of my strength in prison and my body was moving without any problems.
Now was the perfect time.
Pria hasn’t taken over Fron yet, so she’s weak.
Now that I had consumed Crete’s body, it was enough.
No, it had to be now.
