Chapter 547

Episode 547. Disciple and Reincarnated Person (4) I don't mind him.

Besides that, I think there were a few masters that he probably recruited, but when I looked away, they all turned into corpses due to my unconscious counterattack.

It seems that each of them was one of the best people on the continent, but in front of me, they are just like a piece of paper.

... ... Perhaps, as he said, I am no different from a monster.

But now it didn't matter anyway.

I'm not here to meet up with that guy I don't even remember.

It doesn't matter what his grudge is.

What I'm looking for is another guy.

“Where are you! where are you!”

Rarely for a Nazi, he even yelled and went looking for him.

There is a rumor I heard recently.

There is a prospect who joined the Kingdom Society a few years ago.

As the daughter of a local lord, she is said to have learned various knowledge through a chance encounter.

In particular, she is said to have been active through pharmacy.

At first, she was seen as a mere local lady, but soon the depth of her knowledge and the efficacy of the medicines she suggested attracted the attention of many people.

Unsurprisingly, some people said that they asked her where the knowledge came from, as if interrogating her.

Usually, such questions can be moderately ignored or overlooked.

Even so, the idiot seemed to be proud of who he had learned from.

As long as that is the case, there is no problem.

Even though the teacher had a very different personality, he did a lot of things.

Even if it's as much as rat poop, there are people who respect it.

However, the contents also reached the ears of a foolish person who disapproved of the teacher.

For example, like a foolish prince who turned to blood a while ago.

It is bound to be a good excuse for those who hold grudges.

Apparently, he wanted to use that idiot to settle his grudge, both to usurp the throne and to use it.

To think of a hostage situation now.

Really stupid.

neither he nor she.

... ... Above all, I, who was the trigger that created this situation, was also—no... ... Now is not the time for idle thoughts.

“Elmena!”

Forgetting face, I called out to Elmena and followed her.

There's no way I'll ever forget that cheeky demeanor.

“. shit.”

Still, it was never caught.

At least, if it was somewhere within the grounds of this royal castle, there was no way I wouldn't notice it.

I clenched my fists, barely calmed down, and moved to a place I could guess.

There are limited places where people belonging to the society can be.

A detached palace located north of the royal castle.

On the other side, the whole castle is only a library or an auditorium and laboratory for lectures.

A place for scholars belonging to the kingdom. It is an area called Hakhak Palace.

Of course he will be there too.

But on the other hand, there is also a wish that I would rather not have it.

Because he's that guy, it's possible he won't be in the royal castle by going out to play.

... ... But that's just my hopeless wish.

I already know this from a lot of experience.

Reality always unfolds in front of us only at its worst.

No words come out.

How many times have I been so impatient in my life?

At least not in the near future.

A knight who had not yet grasped the situation attacked me, but I threw him into the wall without paying attention.

Just like that, he broke through the wall and became like a bag of unrecognizable blood.

“???? go away.”

Only then do the soldiers drop their weapons and start running away.

Still, I didn't even pay attention to them.

Ignoring everything, I went to the place where the prisoners were probably locked up, broke open the locked door, and checked inside.

Boys and girls who are still young, gathering and sitting down for some reason... ... ?

Perhaps they are students learning here.

And a blonde woman who collapsed as if she was just trying to wrap the children... ... .

It was Elmena.

I approached Elmena without hesitation.

The boys and girls, who were startled at the sight of me at first, barely calmed down and tried to explain the situation to me, as if for some reason they didn't consider me an enemy.

“The knight who was surprised by the commotion a moment ago... ... I swung my sword... ... Master wrapped me around... ...

“I'll listen to the explanation later.”

I feel sorry for the little ones who are trying hard to explain, but I can't afford to listen to every word.

I tried to say this, but my words went into her words quickly.

“It doesn’t matter whether it works or not.”

she insisted adamantly.

“If you don't do that, you're disqualified as a human being.”

“?... “

Human.”

As a human... ... is it.

I didn't expect such an answer to come out.

Of course.

okay... ... The answer would be not to throw it away there.

Normally you would think so.

Elmena's argument was not at all wrong.

“Yeah, let’s say that. Then why are you bragging about what you learned from me?”

“ah??????

“That's why the stupid prince went on a rampage.”

“I didn’t know that the grudge would be that deep. Aren’t people narrow-minded?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

I seriously glared at Elmena.

“I wanted them to think about Master again.”

“If you do, then everyone won’t notice.”

Will it?”

“Looking back over the years, you'll think it's not a big deal. In the end, it makes no sense.”

Humans are cunning.

I didn't say anything, but I saw it.

Among those who fled, Elmena's colleagues, scholars, were also mixed.

Of course not everyone is like that.

But not everyone is like that.

Isn't that human

Therefore, it is better to pursue more sensible actions.

And the conclusion I came to is resignation.

However, this disciple who learned from me says a different conclusion.

“meaning. You don't have to, can you?”

It is claimed without the slightest hesitation.

“Why are you... ... Do you think so?”

I am asking like that at some point.

“Because I am grateful for that meaningless action.”

“what?”

Elmena put her hand on her chest and stared straight at me.

“Master, you already know.

Who was the person who gave medicine to my father in the past?”

“... ... It was just a thing. It was a request, so I just listened. Did you get paid at the time?”

It was.

In the past, it was when I was still staying here at the conference.

There was a time when he came to ask for medicine.

It's an incurable disease here, but it was a disease that could be cured with my knowledge.

So I just happened to hear it and saved it.

“How long have you known?”

“Do you really think I begged you to teach me without knowing about Master?”

“... ... From the beginning.”

I probably didn't know at the time of the Earth Dragon.

But that's what I found out after that.

Unexpectedly, it is elaborate in a strange place.

“Is Master really disillusioned with humans?”

Because it's boring.”

“Then why did you teach me?”

“... ... It's a whim. It didn't matter anyway. It is no different now.”

“Then, even if I am really in danger, Master should be fine. No, you shouldn't have come.”

Even though it was her own life, she calmly insisted.

Was that prank from a while ago? Did you do it on purpose to see my reaction?

“Or if you're offended right now, I could stab myself right here.”

“hey??????

I was about to say something this time, but I stopped when I saw Elmena's eyes.

Seriously.

No, now Elmena is getting angry.
