I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

297.Baron Johan Quartz Is Entering! (12)

“John, did you sleep well?”

“Karina?”

Wasn’t it my room? Why Karina?

I looked at Karina who was sitting in her chair looking down at me. When Karina made eye contact with me, she smiled brightly and said,

“John is a sleepyhead. “It’s already midnight.”

“I slept longer than I thought.”

I thought I could wake up around dinner time. I turned my head and looked out the window.

Pitch-black darkness. All I can see is the moon faintly visible beyond the window. As she said, it seemed like she slept for almost half the day when she said she would sleep a little.

…Why is Karina here?

“Karina. “What are you doing here?”

“I was watching John sleep. “I originally planned to take a short look, but after looking at it…Hehe.”

What is that meaningful smile? Are you saying you were watching while I was sleeping? I looked at Karina’s finger poking my cheek and asked her.

“I don’t know what it was, but it seemed like it was fun.”

“Do you know? “Sleeping Johan is cute.”

“I don’t think I look like someone who would call me cute.”

“But it’s cute. I was a little surprised when the bottom got bigger, but…”

Below?

Ah.

“… “I’m sorry.”

“No. Rather, I feel reassured.”

“What?”

“…Hehe, no.”

I don’t know what it means, but for some reason I felt like I shouldn’t ask. I had a feeling that I would be the only one feeling unfair for asking. I got up and put on my shoes.

“I’m going to take a quick shower.”

“Aren’t you sleeping any more?”

“I already slept well. And…I’m worried about Sitri.”

I don’t think there was an accident while I was away, but I felt the need to go check on the situation. Even though I was half-sealed inside the sanctuary, I couldn’t feel safe.

“I’m going to go to the bathroom for a moment. “You… “

“I’ll wait here.”

I have to go quickly. I packed a change of clothes and headed to the bathroom.

————————-

“Johaan…”

“There is no need to stand guard.”

I stroked the back of Milia’s head as she came into my arms and nuzzled her face against her stomach. Milia nuzzled her face in my arms like a puppy, then lifted her head and said.

“I watched closely as John said.”

“What is Rue doing?”

“Now it’s Rue’s turn to rest, so she’s sleeping.”

“I see.”

Are you sleeping? But could he sleep? After gaining a body, I was able to perform physiological activities in the same way as a human, so it is not strange for me to sleep. I brushed Lue out of her head and opened the door where her Sitri was.

Beyond the door that opened with the sound of scraping hinges,

“…I’m sleeping well.”

Are there demons no different from humans when they sleep?

We looked at Sitri, who was sleeping without the world knowing. The blanket that had fallen under the bed caught my eye. Apparently, he had bad sleeping habits.

“…If you look at it like this, I don’t know what’s different from humans other than skin color…”

“I agree.”

“You sleep very comfortably…”

Since I confirmed that he didn’t run away, let’s go first.

No. Let’s check just one.

“Karina, please watch here for a moment. Millia. Come here for a moment…”

I took Milia back to the hallway and spoke quietly to her. Milia listened to me, and she nodded her head vigorously.

“Just leave it to me…”

“Thank you.”

“It’s a request from John, but how can I not listen to it?”

We went back into the room and approached Karina. When Karina, who was watching Sitri, quietly approached me and nodded her head, she quickly realized my intention and smiled.

“You seem to be sleeping well, so let’s go back first.”

“You’re probably hungry, so why don’t you tell the maid and go eat?”

“That would be nice too.”

As we talked just barely enough for Sitri to hear, we took one action and left the room.

And then, we quietly stuck to the wall in the hallway and listened to the wall with Millia between us.

How long has it been since then that I hear a faint rustling sound coming from beyond the wall? Did it happen? As expected, he was pretending to be sleeping.

Not long after, we heard Sitri screaming and opened the door. In the room, I saw Sitri passed out with foam in her mouth, and Milia smiled brightly as she looked at me.

Aren’t you too weak when it comes to devils?

I picked up her milia’s head, wiped the joint of her neck with her sleeve, and placed it back on her neck.

“As we were leaving, he stood up while looking at me, and as soon as he made eye contact with me, he fainted!”

It’s kind of funny that the devil faints when he sees the severed head. I fell to the floor and gently slapped the unconscious Sitri’s cheek and waited for her to wake up.

I guess I hit him roughly three times. Sitri came to her senses, looked at me, and opened her mouth.

“My, my, my head…”

“You have too little courage when it comes to the devil.”

“Even the devil is surprised when he is surprised!”

Is this the devil?

She was so sloppy in so many ways that I wondered for a moment whether I had caught an innocent civilian and not Sitri.

“Okay. What were you doing after we left? “Don’t even think about lying.”

“Let’s search the room…”

“What?”

“There are so many interesting items…”

“Milia. Bring Lue…”

“Lies!”

“I was looking for a way to escape…”

“I would have warned you that it would be best to stay still. If this happens, I have no choice but to give you a penalty.”

It seems he woke up because of the screaming. I made Lue, who had popped up next to me, back away with a wave of her hand, got up from her floor and sat down on the bed.

“Since this has happened, I have something to ask. “Where is the place where Agares often appear?”

“A clock tower in the center of the capital. There is a secret hideout for the Agares Church in the clock tower!”

It’s a clock tower.

“Where is Agares likely to be?”

“I don’t know that~”

Sitri answered in a droopy voice, as if she was mentally exhausted.

“It’s a clock tower. “I don’t know if they searched that place.”

“I can’t find it using normal methods.”

“You know how to get in.”

“…Wouldn’t it have been changed by now?”

“Is the church setting up a guard?”

“Huh? Of course.”

“Then that’s it. Karina. Millia. Are you ready for everything I said?”

“Maybe? “I think I’m done with the viola.”

“Ellie and Shuri will be perfect.”

“Okay.”

“Me, me?”

“You go too.”

The morning schedule has been decided.

Let’s reveal the secret space of the clock tower.

———————

“Is this the clock tower?”

“It’s colder than I thought…”

As soon as Karina spoke, she hugged my arm. It was difficult to tell whether it was because it was really chilly or if they were making an excuse. I stared at the back door of the clock tower, trying hard to ignore the soft feeling wrapping around my arm

“Sitri. Did you say that you have to go through this door in a special way to move to the Agares Church’s hideout?”

“Yes.”

“Get started right away.”

“Okay, so can I release this? You can only open it if your hands are free~”

“If you try to run away, this will be your place.”

“Okay! Got it! Stop scaring me!”

As I released the vines, Sitri stood in front of the door, massaging her arms that were still stimulated by the vines.

“Then shall we begin?”

“Do it quickly.”

Because I want to get in quickly when there are no people around.

I ordered her while fiddling with her mithril shovel blade.

“Hmm, !@*()&!(#*!!!@*&!#!”

Sitri spat a series of unintelligible words against the door. How long had it been since I said that, but the door did not open?

“Ah…I think I’ve already changed it.”

“Is there any other way?”

“It’s not like there’s no way…” ” But it’s probably a bit too dangerous, right?”

What is it?

I looked at Sitri and urged her to speak quickly. Sitri hesitated for a moment, then she put her hand to the door and said,

“We are going to force a breakthrough. Then you can go inside.”

“Hmm. It must be dangerous… Sitri, please explain the internal structure of the hideout to me.”

“Uh, so…”

Sitri explained the structure of the hideout to me one by one. Although it was a bit verbose, I managed to draw up a suitable blueprint in my head.

It’s a fairly complex structure with three underground levels. When I counted the number of guards, there were quite a lot of them.

“What is the hideout made of?”

“Uh… I guess it’s normal? “No special items were used to build the building.”

“Then that’s enough.”

“What?”

“Hurry up and open the door.”

“Really?”

“Okay.”

“Okay…Don’t be angry?”

Sitri hesitated a little, reached out for the door, and began muttering something unintelligible.

Then, after a few minutes, Sitri raised her right leg high and kicked the door.

The door flew away with a bang, revealing a pitch-black space where nothing could be seen.

“…What was the order before?”

“Let’s gather strength! “This is sturdy.”

Is that so?

“Then let’s all go in.”

Everyone spoke with determination at what I said.

We stepped beyond the door into a space filled with only darkness.
