Mesugaki Tank Enters The Academy-Chapter 671: Jundong (7)

“Hmph. Sniff.”

After a while, Bishi finally calmed down and lowered his head to hide his bloodshot face.

“Are you okay?”

His mother’s expression filled with worry.

- Bishi.

Adri, who somehow clung to him and had no intention of letting him go.

“Pheuheu.”

Lucy narrowed her eyes as if she was watching something interesting.

Surrounded by these three, Bishi couldn’t raise her head because she felt so humiliated.

Even she could feel her cheeks getting hotter and hotter, she felt like they were going to burst.

But she couldn’t help it.

Tears kept welling up in her eyes just thinking about the scene from before.

Her mother, who knew that she was a warlock, stepped forward to protect her.

Lucy, who told her mother that she was a good person.

And Adri, who thought that in the worst case scenario, she would turn everything upside down.

All of that scenery was warm and she felt shabby standing in the middle of it all, so Visi didn’t know what to do.

Knock knock.

That was when someone came to visit from outside the mansion.

Lucy, who blocked Visi’s mother who was unconsciously trying to get up, kicked the door open as if she was going to break it open.

“Haha. You’re really annoying.”

The Pope took a step back as if he had expected that.

“You’re so fat and diligent, you know?”

“I’ve developed the habit of living diligently for a long time.”

Lucy’s tone was full of hostility, but the Pope on the other side was looking at Lucy as if he loved her so much.

Her expression dripping with affection was so creepy that even those standing behind Lucy felt creepy.

“So why did you come here? If you want to get hit by me, I can hit you hard.”

“It’s a really attractive offer, but unfortunately I can’t nod this time. I don’t want to show my ugly side in front of my subordinates.”

The Pope, who looked at the captured knight and smiled, clasped his hands together and continued.

“I propose a deal. I will step aside without doing anything, and will you hand over the child? I promise you your safety on the Lord’s behalf.”

“Why me? You are a worthless bastard who can’t do anything to me anyway.”

“Ah. Of course I can’t do anything to you. Not to you.”

Lucy chewed her lips after hearing the Pope’s words and grabbed the knight’s neck with one hand and threw it at the Pope who had come up.

The Pope, who easily took the powerful throw, put him down on the ground and politely thanked him.

“Before I step down, let me give you one piece of advice, Apostle. Do you think I only did this in one place?”

The moment Lucy heard those words, she flinched and tried to run outside in a hurry.

As soon as she saw that, Adri grabbed Lucy’s shoulder.

- I’ll send you! Just tell me where! “You...”

- Say it first! Right now!

Adrian, who had immediately sent Lucy away, gritted his teeth and looked at the Pope.

The Pope, who received a gaze full of sullenness, snorted and shrugged his shoulders.

“Don’t worry, I have no intention of doing anything. I just made a promise with the Apostle.”

- I know. That must be why this little brat left you behind.

“A commander who believes in the Lord’s Apostle. How interesting. Is this also the Lord’s grace?”

The messenger who rejected the Lord’s embrace and remained on earth trusted the Lord’s Apostle and took a possible risk for her.

The Pope felt his heart welling up with emotion, closed his eyes, and offered a short prayer.

I now realize why I came to believe in the greatness of the Lord.

I decided to love him because the Lord is so merciful and gracious.

I suddenly wonder. Would the Lord embrace someone who brought misfortune to the Apostle he loved?

“I swear to God that you will never threaten this place again. So, you can rest easy.”

With those words, the Pope closed the door.

Those who remained inside heard the Pope’s footsteps grow quieter and let out a sigh of relief.

*

Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.

I thought too easily. What am I supposed to do if things have been resolved too easily so far?

This isn’t a game. This isn’t a world where variables are fixed.

I’d rather send my friends here.

No. Then the Pope would have done something.

Then what was the best option?

What choice should I have made?

What should I have chosen in that situation.

<Lucy.>

‘Grandpa. Was my choice really the right one? Wasn’t there another better way? No, in the first place.’

<Worry about that later! For now, just think about running!>

‘... Yes!’

I put more strength into my feet moving forward. I pulled out all the strength I had and tried my best to run a little faster.

Ignoring my surging breath, I smashed the ground, and even the time that turned to the side slightly, I thought of a way to run a little faster and headed forward.

“Lucida.”

When I arrived, the dungeon had already been cleared.

The warriors who had been fighting the monsters outside were laughing as they treated their wounds, and my friends standing in the middle were embarrassed by the compliments from others.

“Oh. Youngae-sama. You came early?”

“Lucy. Why do you look so anxious? Were you that worried about us?”

My friends who found me out of breath came towards me one by one and smiled and said a word.

“Haha. Even though you always look so fierce, you’re still a girl inside.”

“Lucy. You’re cute.”

“Isn’t she cute?”

“It might be a bit of an exaggeration, but Youngae-sama is cute.”

...Someone ran to you because they were worried about you guys, but you guys are saying that?

I was seriously angry, so I raised the corners of my mouth and pressed the shoulder of Joy, who was at the front, to make him kneel half-forcibly.

Then I nodded to the others and pointed down with my finger, and the guys who had been snickering just a moment ago hurriedly sat down.

Only Frey was tilting his head, but when I ignored him without even getting angry, he quietly sat down next to the others.

After relieving my stress by bullying my friends for a while, I sighed and sat on Faby and asked her to tell me about the dungeon raid.

“First, I took charge of the overall command direction, and Joy took care of the supporting parts.”

“The Third Prince has worked hard in many ways. I don’t know where he learned command, but he seemed quite skilled.”

“I can’t say there were no dangerous moments at all, but we were able to resolve those parts with our own force. It’s annoying, but Frey, that guy is a monster.” “Not really? It’s just that the prince is so sloppy that it looks like that.”

“...And even small curses and wounds are resolved right away because the saint is here.”

“It wasn’t that difficult. Rather, I think it was my fault for not stopping it before.”

“Hmm. Anyway, clearing the dungeon wasn’t that difficult. Even if a few variables were added here, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference. The dungeon you made was more like hell.”

The boss fight wasn’t much different from clearing the dungeon.

Since I told them everything about the boss in advance and even told them about any variables that might arise, my friends were able to easily defeat the boss and return to the surface.

“I won’t say that I did as well as you. But isn’t it better than you thought?”

Arthur was about to answer with a smile, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded.

Yes. You did much better than I thought.

I won’t deny it.

But if you ask me next time if I can leave you alone, I can’t say yes.

Everyone else is fine. I would gladly leave everyone else here alone except you.

But you can't. If you go wrong because of my mistake, I will probably fall apart too.

The Pope knows this.

The moment one of you goes wrong, I will definitely be shaken.

That's why I'm going to target you.

If I weren't there at that time, I don't know if I could get up out of my guilt.

"You gave up on beating me? I'm glad you finally figured out the topic. That's what suits you."

"... Can't you try to set the mood a little?"

"Then try to act a little better. How can I compliment you when you're always acting so pitiful?"

I had so much to say, but I couldn't say anything.

He kept it and sneered at Arthur.

Friends are kind. If they knew that I was worried about them, they would think that they would be a burden again and try to prove it somehow.

It’s not your problem. It’s just that I’m anxious and don’t know what to do.

After that, after clearing a few more dungeons, I returned to the Holy Land to rest that night.

I couldn’t sleep well and was thinking that I should move my body more when I heard a knock on the door.

I was startled when I remembered the Pope’s knocking that I heard today, but I felt relieved by the warm divinity I felt from beyond.

It’s Faby.

“Young-ae. Do you have a moment?”

“Why did you come? Could it be something dirty? The perverted woman has finally revealed her true colors...”

“That’s not...! Ahem. This is serious.”

“Come in. I’ll play with you. The sloppy woman.”

Faby, who came inside, looked at me quietly, took a deep breath, and slowly opened her mouth.

“Are you worried about us?”

...Uh. Was it really obvious? I thought you were doing well as usual without saying anything.

“Isn’t that obvious? It’s not strange that you guys can fall apart at any time.”

It won’t change much just because you got caught. It’s a separate issue from you guys becoming stronger.

“You’re just like me. I always worry about Yeong-ae.”

“Me?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Yeong-ae always goes to the most dangerous places first. She doesn’t ask anyone else, as if it’s natural for her to sacrifice herself.”

I... didn’t have such noble thoughts. I just did it because it was something I could do. I didn’t sacrifice myself for anyone.

“But the reason I haven’t said anything until now is because that sacrifice is Yeong-ae. No matter what we say, you’ll just jump into danger again.”

Faby, who had been smiling, cleared her throat as she sat down next to me.

“Even our worries will become a burden to you, so I don’t want to talk about it. But I came here because I have something I want to suggest to you.”

“What? Just do that useless thing.”

“I’ll just eliminate the situation where variables will arise. Since Lady Youngae has so much influence these days, that won’t be difficult. Even if there are problems, I’ll make it easy for you.”

Faby’s smile under the moonlight looked more like that of a villainess than a saint.

“For you.”
