A Failed Knight Who Went to the Academy To Get Married

059. festival for the devil

Early morning, train station.

Pyrrol and Locke were seeing Sia off.

“Are you really going to go back?”

“Let’s go see the festival together.”

Then Sia smiled brightly and answered.

“I’m sorry. I don’t have the courage to look at Senior Trine’s face right now.”

“…Are you going to keep your promise?”

“All three of us must enter the knight department.”

“Yes. I will definitely keep that promise.”

Just before Sia got on the train, a liaison bird flew towards Sia from afar.

“Who sent it?”

As Sia tilted her head and let the bird sit on her shoulder –

“The Nuisance Plush Trio! Gather at the gym immediately!”

Sia almost fell at the sudden shout.

“You must have made a big fuss yesterday! You guys really have to be prepared today! Every minute you are late is one lap around the playground!”

“senior…”

“And if one of you runs away, I will show hell to the other two, so you know that!”

At those words, Sia finally burst out laughing.

He laughed so hard that he almost shed tears, then turned around and said to the two.

“I can’t help it. Should I go to my senior first?”

***

Soon Sia regretted not getting on that train.

From noble mtl dot come

Of course, Shia was prepared to take any punishment if it meant scolding her directly.

However, it was not Trine who was waiting for the Plush Trio, but the student council president.

“Get down! Stand up! Get down! Stand up! Do 100 reps!”

Physical training started without even telling me why I was being scolded.

While the three of them repeated the same motion nearly hundreds of times, each of them gasped and asked Myeong-yoon.

“Seo, senior, Trine, senior, where are you-”

“Ask something! Of course it’s during class!”

“Well, then, student council president, why-”

“I’m exempt from class from the beginning, so don’t worry!”

“But why on earth are we getting scolded-”

“I guess I still have energy left to talk! 100 more rounds!”

… It wasn’t until lunch time that Senior Myung-yoon gave us time to take a short break.

When the three of them were lying down on the gym floor together, Trine came up to them with a grin.

“You seem a little more calm now. I should have behaved like this a long time ago.”

Sia smiled brightly and answered.

“Are you feeling a little better, Senior Trine?”

“Yeah. It’s really refreshing to see you three now.”

Trine said, squatting down in front of Sia.

“Don’t do what I tell you not to do.”

“…I wanted to be helpful to my senior.”

“If something happens to you, it will be a nuisance to me.”

At those words, Sia looked at Trine.

“Senior, you don’t hate me, right?”

“I’m not going to answer.”

Trine fed chestnuts to Sia’s forehead.

“That is my punishment for you.”

“Hehe. You like me so much that it’s embarrassing to be honest?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

At that time, Myeong-yoon suddenly intervened.

“Stop talking nonsense! Trine, what are you so proud of?”

“Huh? No, I-”

“Why on earth did you disobey the order to report immediately if you spot a demon, regardless of the reason?”

“No, yesterday was so sudden-”

“Get down! Stand up! Get down! Stand up! Repeat a thousand times!”

***

… after school.

Again, numerous people gathered in the student council room.

Student Council President Myeong-yoon spoke to everyone.

“It’s too early to be at ease. Tomorrow, on the day of the festival, they will probably try to infiltrate this place in a way other than possession.”

Trine paused for a moment at those words and then asked.

“Wouldn’t it be better to call off the festival?”

“No. The devils are a secret to everyone, and even if the principal knew about it, he wouldn’t be the kind of person who would stop the festival.”

Myeong-yoon looked around at the people gathered around him and said.

“In other words, the fact remains that we must stop the devil’s plan with just the people here.”

… Trine, Eloy, Maria.

And Yuril and Plush Trio, who have already found out about the existence of the devil.

Instructor Elroy glanced at Sia and asked Myeong-yoon.

“Are you really going to include those little kids?”

“The more power, the better. And those three also seem to know how to protect themselves.”

“That doesn’t seem to me at all.”

Then the Plush Trio roared.

“I won’t do anything like yesterday!”

“I’ll listen carefully to what you say~”

“Don’t treat me like a child. Honestly, I’m only one year older than you, right?”

Trine said with a short sigh.

“I will watch over you to make sure you don’t do anything wrong.”

“Yes. Please, please.”

At that time, Maria, who had been silent all this time, asked Myeong-yoon.

“Student President, you are an angel, right?”

Myeong-yoon paused for a moment before answering that unexpected question.

“To be exact, it’s an apprentice angel.”

“You’re shamelessly pretending to be a human being in a place like this.”

Trine tilted his head and asked at those barbed words.

“Why are you showing off so much disgust? If you’re an angel, aren’t you on the same side as Yumano?”

“Are you stupid?!”

“what-“

“The only one I serve is Yumano-sama! That abominable angel is an apostle of another god, not Yumano-sama!”

“Is that so?”

“Remember! In the first place, everyone except Yumano is an evil and cunning god!”

Myeong-yoon answered in a calm voice.

“Maria, I don’t want to argue with you about the circumstances of the heavenly world, so let’s be careful with each other.”

“…Just until this is over.”

When Maria stepped back with a shocked expression on her face,

Myeong-yoon also nodded slightly and spoke to everyone.

“Everyone, keep in mind. If we don’t stop the demons, the world could be destroyed.”

***

The next day, early morning on the day of the festival.

Cat sat in front of the booth and asked Yuril.

“Miss, our job is to take care of the injured person, right?”

“Exactly.”

“Then why did you ask me to bring bombs?”

“Just in case.”

“Why did you warn Trine earlier to conserve his magic power?”

“Just in case.”

“Besides, why are you holding a sword instead of medicine and bandages?”

“Just in case.”

… Cat said, dropping her ears in resignation.

“Instead of just making this up between the two of us, please tell me too.”

“I’m sorry. I’ll tell you when the time comes.”

“Huh… I think Yuril is starting to resemble Trine for some reason.”

Then Yuril smiled bitterly and responded.

“It’s the opposite. Trine will start to resemble me from the beginning.”

***

Meanwhile, Maria was patrolling along the school wall with Pochi.

Meanwhile, I ran into Prince Siran and Lisbeth.

They both questioned Maria while holding heavy-looking props in both hands.

“Are you taking a leisurely walk alone?”

“For some reason, you seem to be the only one leisurely, which makes my stomach hurt a little.”

Maria lost her temper at those words.

“Who has free time? Even though you look like this, you are on a very important mission!”

At those words, Prince Siran glared at her and asked.

“Trine and Sia, what on earth are you guys planning?”

“It’s a secret.”

Then Lisbeth put down the prop and said.

“Everyone is scolding me. I can’t believe I entrusted this kind of work to a foreign student who has only recently arrived.”

Prince Siran also said, dropping his box on the floor.

“We’ll join you on your walk for the time being.”

Maria asked in a slightly annoyed voice.

“Why are you being so useless and meddlesome?”

“Didn’t you know that our class’s motto is ‘Just be nosy for now’?”

“What does it mean to be a good friend?”

Maria narrowed her eyes at that half-hearted answer and muttered.

“Are you just trying to skip the special activities club because you don’t like it?”

***

Instructor Eloy and student council president Myeong-yoon were standing guard on the rooftop building of the main school.

“…Will this strategy really work?”

When Instructor Eloy asked, pointing to the huge spherical object behind him,

Myeong-yoon answered without taking his eyes off the playground.

“There are very few people who know the true appearance of the celestial sphere, and since it is also a sacred object, they will definitely be deceived.”

“I guess they aren’t stupid either.”

“It’s being guarded by the most important people, so we can’t ignore it.”

Instructor Elroy scratched his head once and smiled slightly.

“Anyway, entrusting Trine with the real celestial sphere, that’s a lot of trust, isn’t it?”

“Because it is also an opportunity to evaluate whether he is suitable to be the next student council president.”

“It kind of feels like an excuse.”

Instructor Eloy openly noticed, but Myeong-yoon kept his mouth shut.

… At that time, a small piece of paper flew from the sky and fell onto Myeong-yoon’s hand.

***

Trine, wearing a white cape and eye patch, said as he crossed the playground.

“I repeat my name. No matter what happens, never draw your sword without my instructions.”

… But no answer came back.

When I looked back, I saw three kids enjoying the festival as they pleased.

“Give me four churros!”

“We only received a little bit of pocket money. Can you cut it off a little bit?”

“Wow! That armor is really cool!”

Trine hit the Plush Trio’s heads one by one.

“If you guys keep behaving as you please, you will really die.”

Then the three people each shouted.

“You’re telling me to naturally act like a guest?”

“If you stay too quiet, you’ll get noticed.”

“Brother, please act more naturally as a customer.”

Trine sighed as the ground fell.

The only mission given to Trine is to ‘don’t get caught at all costs.’

If we can get through today without the celestial sphere being taken away by demons, that will be a success.

However, since the celestial sphere cannot be taken out of the academy,

In this way, they decided to pretend to be customers while hindering awareness.

“I’ll say it again, even if you find a demon, don’t ever think about fighting it.”

Sia said as she placed the churros to Trine’s lips.

“I understand. I won’t make the same mistake twice.”

“I’m really begging you.”

“Anyway, how do you think you would act if your senior was your enemy?”

At those words, Trine muttered with a serious expression.

“If it were me, I would hold the other students and guests hostage and threaten them for a thousand spheres.”

“What will you do if that happens?”

“Even if all the students are killed, we will just run away.”

In response, Princess Xia opened her mouth after a little hesitation.

“It will be a painful mission.”

It was then.

A contact bird flew to Trine and Plush Trio and whispered softly in Myeong-yoon’s voice.

“This is a message from the devil. If you don’t give me the heavenly sphere, I will kill a random person every minute.”

Then, after a pause, he spoke.

“For now, we will try to negotiate here, so the rest of us should not panic and proceed as planned.”

… At that voice, the Plush Trio looked around and whispered softly.

“It’s just as Trine said. It’s amazing.”

“If they kill randomly, isn’t that dangerous for us too?”

“Shall we go around and secretly look for demons on our own?”

Trine answered calmly.

“We never interfere with the schedule.”

Then he glared pointlessly at the blue sky and grinned.

“Let’s be a complete coward just for today.”
