THE ACADEMY’S WEAPON REPLICATOR

The flying devils soon arrived gracefully before Frondier.

Along with Arald.

All of them had faces brimming with pride.

“……”

Frondier looked at them all with cold eyes.

He felt worse than when he was cursed with sloth.

Frondier looked around and asked Arald.

“So, are all the devils of the Empire gathered here?”

“Yes. Except for Hitchcock’s leadership, they are all here.”

“Of course not. They are all here.”

The devils that remained in the Empire. These were the unresolved knots that Frondier had yet to deal with.

He had revealed that devils were hiding in the Empire, made them his subordinates, and even prevented the advance of the devils in the west, but he had not decided what to do with them.

‘So this situation is good for both me and the Empire.’

It was good for the Empire that the threat of devils hiding somewhere had disappeared, and it was an opportunity for the devils to finally escape the Empire where it was difficult to live in hiding.

Perhaps most of them here followed Arald’s words happily.

Frondier also thought that they should go to the land where they originally belonged, so it was a good thing.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand why Arald moved like this.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand, but.

“Arald. Let’s make this clear.”

“What is it?”

“I have no intention of becoming the Devil King.”

The keyword “Devil King” came out in the process of Frondier asking Arald to find the devils hiding in the Empire.

The devils of the Empire needed a leader, and Frondier was clearly that leader now.

But the ‘Devil King’ that Arald wanted wouldn’t be that.

“I’m human. The Devil King is naturally a job for a devil. I agree that the balance between devils and gods must be maintained, but there’s no reason for me to do it.”

“Of course, but.”

Arald nodded. And with a gentle smile, he asked.

“You won’t forgive Satan and Odin, will you?”

At those words, Frondier paused for a moment.

But soon, a smile spread across his lips as well.

“──Of course not.”

“Then that’s enough. I have no intention of forcing you to become the Devil King, Frondier-nim. It was just a request.”

Arald’s words seemed to retreat without any lingering attachment.

But at the same time, Frondier felt like Arald was saying this with his eyes.

‘In the end, it will be as I said.’

“And Elodie.”

Frondier turned and looked at Elodie.

Elodie, who had been watching silently, tilted her head.

“You know, but there’s no turning back now. You’ve come this far, so you have to be prepared.”

“I already did that in Constel.”

Elodie stuck out her tongue, saying, “Beh.”

In Constel. So that’s what Elodie meant when she said she was “thinking” back then. Maybe Elodie would have been here no matter what happened.

Frondier sighed.

“If it turns out like this, there’s still one problem left.”

“Problem? Is it a problem that I’m here?”

“It’s not a problem that you’re here, it’s a problem that you’re not in the Empire.”

“Huh?”

Elodie tilted her head.

Then Frondier felt a presence and turned his head.

“Maybe that guy is around now.”

As if he had measured the timing.

Pabat!

Someone appeared from Frondier’s shadow.

Elodie and Lily naturally assumed that Selena had appeared, but there were two.

One was Selena, as they expected, and the other was.

“Hello.”

An indifferent voice. An expression and movement that matched it.

A child whose gender was unclear, waving calmly at Frondier.

“…Mei!”

Elodie exclaimed in surprise.

That’s right. She had forgotten. Mei was originally being cared for by Elodie and Frondier in the cabin.

Since both of them were leaving the Empire, they hadn’t thought about what to do with Mei.

“I thought you’d stay in the Empire, so I wasn’t worried.”

“…I see. I’m sorry, Mei. My head has been so complicated that…”

Mei tilted her head at Elodie’s words.

“You don’t have to be sorry. You stayed with me all that time.”

After saying that, Mei looked at Frondier.

“And I’m tired of the cabin.”

“…I guess so.”

“I’ve read all the books you sent me. Take me with you.”

Frondier hesitated for a moment.

He couldn’t decide for a moment whether it was right to take Mei with him.

Mei, who learns everything she sees at high speed. Originally, he planned to let her learn slowly in Constel, but now that Frondier was leaving the Empire, learning in Constel was something Mei had to do on her own.

“Frondier. You told me to observe many things.”

“……!”

“When I imitated and learned many things, and truly became the ‘disaster’ that people fear.”

Mei doesn’t lie.

She doesn’t assert that her future self, strengthened by high-speed learning, will not become an enemy of humanity.

Because she herself doesn’t know what will happen.

“You’re the only one who can control me. Frondier.”

That’s why Mei wants to stay by my side.

“And with Elodie.”

That one sentence would have been cool enough without it.

“Huhu. That’s right.”

Elodie, who was listening next to her, stroked Mei’s hair.

I looked at Selena, who had appeared from the shadows with me.

“Thank you for coming. Selena.”

“It’s only natural.”

Selena bowed her head with a gentle smile.

Looking at her, I asked what was on my mind.

“…How was the situation in the square?”

Selena had been next to Malia, who was in the square as a member of the Roach family, until she came here. Of course, the people of Roach knew that Selena would follow me.

Selena said with a face that was difficult to speak.

“…I think it went very well, as Osprey-nim and His Majesty intended.”

“…So.”

“Yes. Elodie was enchanted and kidnapped by a devil named Frondier, Frondier succeeded in escaping with Lily, and the devils that Frondier had hidden in the Empire took to the skies all at once, heading towards Manggot… It’s roughly that kind of story.”

“The Imperial knights and nobles must be running towards us with all their might by now.”

“Yes. But it will be difficult to chase us, who arrived here in an instant using spatial magic. Osprey-nim is unlikely to help either.”

“But there are quite a few people who can use flight magic.”

Elodie, who was next to me, then said.

“What’s the use of flight magic? As individuals, there’s nothing they can do even if they come here.”

“Ah.”
