Chapter 152
A knock sounded from the door.
Is anyone else coming? – Everyone in the room I thought was looking at the door at once.
“·······My lord.”
Smith looked at Maximin for a moment.
Maximin nodded his head low, and Smith opened the door slightly.
“Who are you-“
“I’m sorry. I have an urgent situation, so please forgive me for being disrespectful.”
Marie and Natasha, who were outside the door, poked their faces through the narrow gap in the door, and then opened the door.
It was very rude, but there was nothing I could do about it.
Now Marie and Natasha are desperate to find Theo.
“uh?”
Marie and Natasha’s eyes widened as they looked into the room.
Besides Theo they had been looking for, there was a silver-haired middle-aged man and a red-haired short-haired girl before their eyes.
The middle-aged man looked somewhat like Theo’s father, but he wasn’t.
The man’s face was a figure that an incumbent warrior could not recognize.
‘Is Theo talking to Sir Maximin alone…? Even Miss Phil?’
And of course he knew that Maximin was Piel’s father.
Marie and Natasha looked at each other in surprise.
“······································································!
As long as I wasn’t an idiot, I knew the current situation.
A meeting or a similar situation.
‘······ruined!’
Marie, who came to her senses earlier than Natasha, bowed her head to Maximin and said:
“Girl, please forgive the disrespect! The great “Demon Hunter” Sir Maximin! While looking for Theo student who will soon be joining the pulpit, I’m frantic—”
“Haha, that’s fine. We’ve just finished talking. Then, Theo-kun, have a good presentation at the academic seminar. See you later.”
“All right.”
Theo naturally bowed his head slightly to Maximin.
Then he stood next to Marie and Natasha, who were frozen with a blank face.
“I’m really sorry for disappearing without a word. There’s something happening for a while. Let’s go quickly.”
“Yes… Yes. Yes. Let’s go. Please forgive the rudeness once again, Sir Maximin. And Miss Piel.”
When Maximin smiled and nodded, only then Marie and Natasha were able to move their stiff legs.
* * *
After Theo, Marie and Natasha left the room.
Maxim’s expression hardened in an instant. The face that had just been smiling before was nowhere to be seen.
“Everyone except Phil, get out.”
“I understand, my lord. Punishment for this matter will be sweetly received. Please stop your anger.”
“No, it happened. Let’s go out.”
“I understand, my lord. I will be waiting.”
hey hey-
Smith and three of his men left the room.
Either way, Phil’s gaze was fixed on the floor.
Theo hasn’t looked anywhere since he left.
‘······too bad. I’ve been following you all the way here for some reason… Maybe you can treat me a little kindly.
It was because of Theo that Phil accompanied him to the academic seminar.
I’m afraid I’ll ever meet him.
In order to show him to his father, who is a “Demon Hunter” who subjugated the intermediate demon who descended to Middle-earth twice.
He wanted him to understand his feelings even a little bit, but Theo was deeply engrossed.
As if he had no interest in anything like him, he quickly finished the conversation with Maximin and left.
‘Still, I can see you again after the academic seminar…!’
The overriding goal has been achieved.
Philip smiled softly and looked at Maximin, who had made an appointment. He was resentful when he was young, but now he is a very satisfied father.
Maximin, who was deeply in thought, whether he knew her heart or not, opened his mouth.
“Piel.”
“Yes, Father!”
Phil replied cheerfully.
“Is it because of Theo-kun the reason you needed ‘it’ even at the risk of ruin?”
“············”.
Phil didn’t answer.
It was because he was afraid that Maximin would see through Theo’s truth.
‘Of course, if Theo is related to a demon or a demon lord, it should be uprooted early, but…’
Is it because you listened?
Or is it because he is jealous of the fact that someone other than himself is going to get his hands on it?
Phil kept his mouth shut.
Because Maximin’s eyes on demon contractors are better than anyone else on the continent.
He was the first to discover that the former Markburn was [a contractor with the Great Evil].
But a decision must be made.
After looking at Phil for a moment, Maximin said.
“········I understand what you mean. It seems a bit embarrassing to say-“
“······Right.”
Phil cut Maximin’s words and continued.
“Your father’s guess is correct. He asked for ‘it’ for Theo.”
“······I see.”
Maximin looked at Piel for a moment with his sunken eyes, then muttered as he looked out the window.
“Yeah. Okay, no, he was a scary kid. When I was his age, I could have been- I wondered if I could have done that. Robert really gave birth to a dragon. I miss Robert after a while.”
Robert Lynn Walderk.
Theo’s father, the head of the Balderk family, who has now disappeared from the continent, and a former warrior who had a rivalry with Maximin.
Maximin looked at Philip and smiled softly.
“Still, my daughter has a good eye for men. Yeah, I don’t think you need to bring it in. Theo-kun asked me to invite you to the Salong Street.”
“······yes.”
Phil nodded his head low, then licked his lips again.
“By the way, father…”
“yes?”
“Theo, didn’t you feel anything strange about him? It had something to do with the devil.”
“·············Not like a child of that age, but I didn’t feel that. If it had anything to do with the devil, I’d be the first to notice.”
“······is that so.”
Phil thought for a moment with a cold expression on his face.
I remember the feelings I felt after seeing him naked before.
The first hypothesis is that there is a stigma of a demon contractor in a part that he has not seen.
The second hypothesis is that he is a [contractor with the demon king].
The probability that Maximin’s eyes are wrong is extremely low.
‘Then, too-‘
[Contract with the Demon King] is highly likely.
No matter how good the eyes are, [The Contractor with the Demon King] is a story that only comes down from myths now. Chances are you won’t recognize it.
With that thought in mind, Piel said to Maximin.
“I also need ‘it’.”
However, if there is only ‘it’, it can be revealed immediately.
Because ‘it’ is a holy thing that purifies all demons in the world.
Maximin narrowed his eyes and said.
“Could you tell me more details, Phil.”
“······yes.”

Fiel began to tell Maximin his own ignorance.

Hearing Fiel’s self-destruction, Maximin said.
“·············There are many things that are questionable. But I respect your opinion, Philip. Theo-kun may develop a deep relationship with our shalom in the future, so let’s go see him first.”
“Yes, Father.”
Maximin and Piel hurriedly headed to the auditorium where the academic seminar was being held.
* * *
After the conversation with Maximin, I headed to the auditorium where the academic seminar was being held with Marie and Natasha.
“············”.
Marie and Natasha glanced at me for what they wanted to say, only their lips twitched.
didn’t say anything.
‘·······They disappeared suddenly without a word, so don’t even get mad. Let’s apologize one more time.’
I looked at the two of them and said.
“Once again, I apologize. Professor Marie, Instructor Natasha. There was a small incident. It will not disappear without a word again.”
“·······Oh, I’m not trying to get an apology. I’m just a little surprised.”
“······So do i.”
Marie and Natasha said nervously.

returned to the auditorium.
“…so I finally succeeded in creating a perfect unicorn artificially!”
An academic seminar was in full swing in the auditorium.
But the voice of the man presenting now was familiar.
When he just arrived at the association, he was the one who used tricks on his Aid. Was your name Narande?
Anyway, listening to his presentation, I, Marie, and Natasha sat down in their assigned seats.
“…as you know, the unicorn’s horn is one of the main ingredients of the elixir!”
Narande, who stood at the pulpit, continued, pointing to the artificial unicorn that was trapped in the cage next to him.
“Of course, the artificial unicorn elixir doesn’t work as well as the real one, but it did have a pretty encouraging effect. Testing is almost over! We’ll be able to commercialize it soon!”
—Oh, oh, oh!
-I heard the news too. Taylor of [The Hilte] invented the Elixir, but that’s it.
Cheers erupted from the audience.
That’s right, Elixir is something that is hard to find even if you go with money.
It is natural for the warriors to welcome them.
‘Is the Elixir created by Taylor made with that unicorn’s horn?’
I looked at the unicorn in the cage calmly.
It was called an artificial unicorn, but it looked nothing like the real thing. Their appearance was similar, and they were blushing and snoring.
“Well? Why is he doing this all of a sudden?”
At that time, Narande on the podium expressed his doubts.
─Purple!
Because the artificial unicorn snorted harshly.
