Chapter 98:
I caught him myself, didn’t I?
[Hidden Quest – Catch the Cult Spy!]
[Reward: 1,000 points.]
Somehow, I had cleared the hidden quest.
On top of that, I had also cleared the constant quest of avoiding death.
‘Not bad.’
At first, I was annoyed that my belly had been pierced, but the reward was more than I expected, so I didn’t feel bad enough to do a headspin right now.
It’s true that financial therapy is the best.
Anyway.
“I have to take this guy with me.”As I said that, I tried to take the unconscious Ward with me.
“Huh? Kaine?”
Kim Soo-yong appeared in front of me and Lisanna with wide eyes.
What the hell is this guy? Is he doing it on purpose?
It’s true that the protagonist is usually late, but isn’t he too late?
Kim Soo-yong appeared at this timing as if he had been waiting to take advantage of the situation, with a face that didn’t know anything.
I’m sure he was watching from afar somewhere.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have appeared now.
This isn’t a game world, after all.
Oh, right, it is a game world.
Anyway, it’s a game world, and he came out later, no matter what.
Yeah, that’s how it is.
While I was cursing Kim Soo-yong for taking advantage of the situation in my mind, the guy looked around the area where the tree and rock had been completely destroyed, tilted his head, and asked, “What’s going on here?”
That bastard. His acting is not ordinary.
My acting skills are enough to make actors blush.
Even I was impressed by his shameless face.
That bastard must have attended an acting school.
“Kaine, what the hell happened here?”
“A lot of things happened.”
“A lot of things?”
At that moment, he looked puzzled.
“He and I had a pretty intense session♥”
Lisanna touched her lower abdomen and spoke in a coy voice.
Kim Soo-yong looked at me with a displeased expression, his lips tightly shut.
“…….”
“No.”
Is he seriously giving me a dirty look?
.
.
.
I explained in detail what had happened here to clear up Kim Soo-yong’s misunderstanding.
He nodded, looking convinced.
“Well, I guess I misunderstood. I’m sorry, Kaine.”
“I know.”
“Yeah, even if you’re flirting with a lot of girls, you wouldn’t do that kind of thing in a place like this.”
But why does your expression contradict your words?
Kim Soo-yong looked suspicious for a moment.
It was as if he believed me, but didn’t fully trust me.
“Anyway, let’s move on from that. Let’s take this guy with us.”
“Okay.”
Kim Soo-yong nodded and grabbed Ward by the back of his neck.
Just as we were about to go to the professors.
“Honey, let’s have another round next time!”
Lisanna waved her arm with a joyful smile.
“…….”
“No, it’s not like that, seriously.”
Maybe because I spoke with a sincere, wronged voice.
Kim Soo-yong nodded with a completely convinced expression.
After that, we didn’t say a word until we reached the professors.
.
.
.
Eventually, we arrived at our destination.
The professors tilted their heads, looking puzzled.
“What’s going on? Did something happen?”
“It doesn’t seem like it, since both of you are fine.”
While the professors were talking, we arrived in front of Willy.
I explained what had happened today, hiding Lisanna’s identity.
Willy listened to my story and fell into deep thought.
It’s not surprising that he was thinking deeply.
In fact, Kim Soo-yong had never seen the situation in person, and I had deliberately left Lisanna so she could continue the test.
In other words, the current situation is based solely on my opinion, without any evidence.
So, there is a need to show.
-Whoosh!
evidence.
A small screen appeared in front of me.
I increased the effect quality to make the screen bigger.
-Whoosh!
It grew to a size that all three of us could see.
At the same time, the screen showed.
“Well, since I’m going to die soon anyway, I’ll tell you about my identity. I’m an assassin named Ward, working for the Cult.”
“The Cult? That incompetent group that only fails and has no dignity?”
Ward’s face appeared, confidently revealing his identity.
Lisanna also appeared, stating the facts.
The screen continued.
After three minutes, it finally ended.
“…….”
“…….”
An awkward silence filled the air for a moment.
Willy looked at the unconscious Ward, then turned his gaze to me.
“Well done. I’m going to torture this guy to get information about the Cult, but what do you guys want to do?”
“I just want to rest.”
“I’ll listen.”
Kim Soo-yong wanted to hear the information, unlike me.
It’s not surprising that he wanted to hear the information.
Unlike me, he had been wronged by the Cult many times.
‘Especially by Andrew?’
After the tournament ended, I was wronged by Andrew, and when I tried to recall the hazy memories from that time…
‘Yeah, a yandere constellation helped me and I survived. If it wasn’t for that, I would have died. Yeah, yeah.’
At that moment, I was rationalizing myself.
“Then you rest. I’ll listen to the information and let you know.”
“Okay.”
Is that really necessary?
I already know what he’s going to say.
Because the information he gave in the game came out.
It’s obvious.
‘He’ll probably talk about where the Cult’s branch is located.’
No, to be precise, it’s correct to say that he can’t talk about anything else.
Because if he reveals more information, he will die due to the Cult’s mind controll.
‘That’s why I can’t ask Lien.’
Of course, even without that, Elsa was a little suspicious of her and didn’t reveal much information.
Anyway, it’s a story I don’t need to hear.
But I can’t show that, so I nodded as if I didn’t know what Kim Soo-yong was saying.
After that, while the other assistant professor and professor were working, I used the map view to watch the activities of the chicks.
.
.
.
The entrance exam for new students was over.
The exact results were not yet known, but the top and second place had been decided.
The top student was none other than.
“…….”
Willy pouted with a sullen face.
Usually, he should be happy to be the top student, but.
“….I can’t accept this.”
“Why?”
“…..”
Willy gave Mark a look as if to say, “Don’t you know?”
Well, it’s obvious why she’s making that face.
That’s because.
“Hey, kid! If I hadn’t fought your brother, I would have definitely been in first place!”
Lisanna had fought with Kaine, which caused a significant gap in their scores.
In reality, Willy wanted to win against her, but not like this.
Willy’s face turned stiff as he felt uncomfortable about winning like this.
She paused for a moment, deep in thought, and then.
“But. Did you win against my brother?”
“….What?”
“I mean, did you win against my brother?”
“…..”
Lisanna remained silent in response to Willy’s question.
Upon seeing this, Willy became certain.
‘That red tomato definitely lost.’
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have remained silent like this.
Knowing this made her feel good for some reason.
“….Hmph.”
“….?!”
Was it because she had spent the vacation with Kaine?
She looked at the saint with a slightly hot expression, different from her usual indifferent face, and snickered.
Lisanna was suddenly mocked.
Then she immediately shouted.
“Hey! Let’s have a match right now!”
“….With your current stamina?”
Lisanna’s annoying question made her blush.
Maybe it was because her face turned red.
‘It’s like a rotten tomato.’
While Willy was thinking this, Lisanna was.
‘Damn it! If it wasn’t for the match against Kaine!’
She was trembling and making excuses in her mind.
In fact, until she fought against him, she didn’t think she would consume that much stamina.
He didn’t look that strong.
But he was unexpectedly strong.
Very strong.
Lisanna looked at Willy, who was smirking annoyingly.
Unlike her, Willy seemed to have a lot of stamina.
There was no way she could win against her right now.
So, the best thing to do was to stay quiet.
But.
‘I can’t just let this slide.’
With that thought, Lisanna opened her mouth.
“Hey, let’s have a proper match next time!”
“….Why should I?”
Lisanna shouted, and Willy tilted her head with an indifferent expression.
Soon, she said something that would have made Kaine scream if he had heard it.
“I always won against my brother…. If you want to fight me, you have to beat my brother first.”
The brother and sister were alike.
.
.
.
A few weeks had passed since the entrance exam for new students.
Not much had happened during that time.
I received the information I knew from Kim Soo-yong.
I cleared the quest smoothly after the entrance exam for new students.
Moreover, Mark entered the mansion.
Apart from these three things, nothing much had changed.
It’s strange for something to change in just a few weeks, to begin with.
“Hmm.”
Time flies, huh.
When I first possessed this body, I was worried about how to survive in this dog-eat-dog world, but I somehow adapted without realizing it.
“Indeed. It’s not for nothing that humans are called adaptable creatures.”
[The Goddess of Fate wonders why you are suddenly spouting wise sayings.]
No. Where did that guy hear the term ‘wise sayings’?
It’s not strange for a constellation to know it, considering how long they’ve lived.
‘It feels weird to hear it in another world.’
It’s also inevitable that I feel dumbfounded when a constellation, a so called god, says something like that.
It’s a trend that has long passed, after all.
While I was feeling dumbfounded in my mind,
-Knock. Knock. Knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
And it was none other than.
“It’s Lise. I’ll be entering your room, young master.”
It was Lise, who had come to wake me up.
She entered the room.
“Tsk!”
Lise seemed to want to kiss me secretly while I was sleeping, but now that I was awake, she clicked her tongue in disappointment.
‘After the engagement ceremony, the seal was completely lifted.’
In the past, she wouldn’t have shown her disappointment so openly, but now that it was implicitly allowed, and she had nothing to lose in terms of status, she was slowly unleashing her desires.
‘I might get attacked while sleeping.’
As I was thinking this, the constellation sent me a shameless message.
[The Goddess of Fate says that the woman might attack you while you’re sleeping. She advises you to be careful.]
No. Why are you saying that?
It’s not surprising that I’m thinking this.
That’s because she has a history of attacking someone while they were sleeping.
However, he didn’t die from sexual intercourse, but from a heart attack.
‘The fact that she attacked someone while they were sleeping is important.’
At that time, I felt a chill. It was like I was seeing a flash of my life.
Of course, the most he did after descending was to sleep while hugging me.
If I hadn’t been cautious and slept, I might have died from a heart attack.
At that moment.
“Young master?”
Her call snapped me out of my thoughts.
“Oh, yeah? What?”
“Hurry up. You need to get ready, or you’ll be late.”
“Oh, right. That’s true.”
I had forgotten about it while being lost in my thoughts.
Today was the entrance ceremony.
