I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

178.Is What You Are Doing Now a Funeral? (12)

The moment when everyone is paying attention to Karina’s speech

People turned their heads at the sudden sound of music as if they had made a promise. A man with a scarred face. He constantly played a simple melody that even a child could easily play on the flute he was holding.

“What? “Suddenly playing… “

“What is he doing all of a sudden?”

“But isn’t there something exciting about it?”

A simple melody that you can play along to right away. But people were increasingly drawn to the repetition of that simple melody.

One person.

Two people.

Three people.

Instead of the saint’s speech rushing toward the end, more and more people stood up after hearing her playing a monotonous melody over and over again. In the end, the person who didn’t wake up felt awkward and had to stand up.

“What on earth…”

Karina stopped her speech at the strange melody and looked in the direction from which the sound was heard.

Johan Quartz.

Her escort knight.

The man was playing the flute in a strange posture. Both she and Leni, who was watching next to her, looked at each other with expressions of complete incomprehension.

“Why is the flute suddenly… ?”

“Before, I don’t know why people are attracted to the sound of that flute.”

Leni frowned and looked around her. Except for a very small number of people, people were standing up and shaking their bodies little by little. It seems as if they are reacting to an exciting performance.

However, since the performance was so simple that it was difficult to even feel joy, Lenny could not understand the situation.

“…Ah! Lenny! I think I know!”

“Yes?”

“That flute, it’s something that John took from the theological department’s basement storage the other day! I heard it was Philia’s keepsake… “What the hell is this…” ” “

Karina, who realized Piri’s identity her, looked at him in surprise. Even though he told me it was dangerous, I never thought it would be like this. As Karina listened to the performance becoming faster and more intense, she flinched without realizing it.

“No, when will something like that happen again…Karina? “Please tell me too.”

“I was so busy with work that I forgot. Even more than that, the sound of that flute…Isn’t it getting more and more intense?”

“Is that the sound of a flute in the first place?”

Lennie looked at his strange performance, something you would never see before, with a shocked expression on his face. Even though she liked him, seeing him like that made her not sure how to face him.

[I can’t forgive you for playing like that with my flute! Take responsibility!]

[Contractor! Something strange stuck to me?]

‘I’m going crazy.’

The rock spirit, or rather Philia’s thoughts, was manipulating his body her at will.

[It’s humiliating that the first person in hundreds of years to pick up my flute is so tone-deaf! Give it to me!]

Following Philia’s voice full of resentment, his fingers began to frantically play a new tune that he did not know.

A joyful yet sad tune. A contradictory melody was flowing from a flute that was at most two spans long.

“The body does what it wants… “

“Isn’t there something exciting? I feel like I want to dance-“

The audience was already dancing to the rhythm without realizing it. The guards were no exception. Only a few people are not caught up in the strange sight and are just embarrassed.

The assassins who tried to attack Karina also could not escape their target. The assassins could not even hold the weapons they had hidden in their arms, and they mingled with the people to the increasingly cheerful tune.

“I didn’t know that Yohan was good at playing!”

“Milia? How did Millia…”

A strange situation in which everyone, from young children to the elderly, fell in love with the dance. Karina, who saw that Milia was fine even in such a situation, looked at her with a surprised expression and then nodded her head with an expression of understanding.

‘Milia deserves it.’

First of all, since it has a body that is completely different from that of a human, it is understandable that it was not caught up in the performance that became so intense that it was difficult to tell whether what was being blown was a flute or not.

“Hehe, I’ve been making strange things again.”

“I didn’t make it. “It’s Philia’s keepsake…”

“No, where did you get that?”

Merlin, rarely free from her influence, looked at her in surprise at Carina’s her her her her. Karina answered her question with a slightly uncomfortable expression.

“John recovered something that had been left in the theological department’s basement warehouse…”

“Her. I see. “I never thought something like this would have been left carelessly… “

Principal Merlin laughed happily at this absurd dance performance.

If this had been caused by a malicious object, he would have looked serious, but the sound of the performance that dominated the auditorium was filled with the sole intention of making people happy.

“I didn’t know it was a flute with this kind of ability…”

“Isn’t this strength worthy of Philia? It is said that he was the one who opened the locked gates with his excellent playing skills.”

“Shouldn’t we stop though?”

“Leave me alone. The reason he took out the flute was probably because he had an idea in mind.”

At least the John he saw was that kind of person. He is a man who never acts without reason. Principal Merlin looked at Johan with happy eyes.

“I brought you a very fun gift for the festival.”

‘But why do this at this time?’

It was a fun sight, but the timing was very strange.

After all, it was when Karina was giving a speech.

Isn’t this an act of dishonoring one’s master? As he was thinking about why he did such a thing, he looked at her and saw her talking to herself.

“No way…”

“Do you know anything?”

“Now that I think about it, there’s only one reason why I’m dissatisfied with the flute.”

“Sneak attack. Is that right?”

Leni nodded her head with a serious look on her face. If she had noticed the presence of the assassins and played the flute, the assassins would have been hiding among the people who had started dancing.

“It would be better to take out the assassins one by one while everyone is busy dancing, but… I can’t tell them apart.”

People started dancing to the increasingly exciting sound of the flute. The auditorium was already full of people dancing, so finding the assassin there was definitely not easy.

[I still don’t like it, but it’s still not that bad!]

‘More than that. There are people out there trying to assassinate the saint.’

[What? There are miscreants targeting Sabrina’s descendants?]

Philia, who had borrowed John’s eyes, glared at the crazy people. The ferocious look in his grim face she created a terrifying atmosphere that would make even monsters flinch.

Fortunately, people were so intoxicated by the performance that they did not pay attention to his face.

[It’s true. There was a real mix of miscellaneous things.]

‘Can you please call me?’

[Well, that’s about it.]

The tune that was playing a cheerful tune suddenly changed to a sad tune. People’s bodies became increasingly sluggish due to the sudden change. After dancing so vigorously for almost 15 minutes, people who lack stamina would faint from exhaustion.

John’s fingers adjusted the rhythm with delicate movements.

[Who are the b*stards who point a knife at our descendants of Sabrina?]

As the mournful tune began to spread its majestic tones, various figures stepped forward from among the crowd with blank faces, as if hypnotized.

Adults, children, women, old people… People with no gender or age group in common walked forward, and the flute in John’s hand gave out a threatening tone.

The bodies of the assassins, dressed in various guises, automatically fell to their knees in harsh tones, as if wild beasts were roaring before their eyes.

’12 people. The numbers are perfect.’

[How much has the saint’s authority fallen? To the point where an assassin comes in openly? Hey, junior. Please explain.]

In response to Philia’s questioning, John obediently explained the situation. Karina was cursed and abused by the Harpas Church. And that an assassin appeared at a festival honoring Sabrina.

Philia, who heard the whole story, shouted in a voice full of anger.

[What? I have to do these !(*@&!(#&!$!*$!)Things! !@()_*$)(!)$*!) And !()#@*!)($* (! !]

The corners of John’s eyes were frowned upon by the unrestrained swearing. She knew what kind of character Philia was because she appeared briefly in the game, but I never thought she would swear at her so much that it made my head hurt.

John wanted to stop playing the flute right away, but since it had already started, it was Philia’s intention to finish it.

[Should I burst my eardrums? Or make her bang her head on the floor until her forehead cracks? Or…]

‘Calm down. And won’t you give me back your body too?’

[…Tch. I am taking care of you because you are the saint’s escort. If you’re going to play, learn it properly.]

‘I will keep this in mind.’

[And instead of you, hand it over to someone prettier. I don’t like men who look scary like you.]

John hurriedly put his flute into his bosom as the feeling in his hand his slowly returned. He couldn’t get used to the feeling of his body his being taken away.

‘It was fortunate that he didn’t seem to have any intention of completely taking my body.’

The side effects are less severe than expected.

It was an item she was reluctant to use because of the problem of losing her body for a short time and losing control of her body until Philia’s thoughts disperse. John put the object that was now an ordinary flute into his bosom

‘Let’s see the faces of the assassins.’

The assassins have not yet come to their senses.

Without hesitation, Yohan shouted the starter word to them.

“Production.”

Shackles protruding from the floor bound them.

“John? “Can you please explain what the hell is going on?”

Karina’s voice mixed with embarrassment penetrated his ears.

“With the help of Philia, we found the assassins.”

“…They don’t look like assassins…”

“It’s not like an assassin shows up saying, ‘I’m an assassin.'”

“I guess so…”

Karina looked back and forth between the people coming to her senses her with her strange eyes and the assassins looking at her with a face full of resentment.

On the outside, he looked like a human being who had been unfairly captured, but since he was clearly an assassin, he must have been hiding a weapon on his body. According to his own judgment, John held the face of the assassin dressed as a young man with his hands.

“What is this… !”

Jjiik.

The people who came to their senses at the sound of the skin on their face being torn, all looked at John, the cause of the commotion, and at the man with the skin on his face being torn.

“There is another human face inside the facial leather… ?”

“Why dress up?”

“Could it be an assassin?”

When a few people quickly noticed the atmosphere and started talking about the assassin, the atmosphere quickly started to turn ugly.

John, who was quietly watching the scene, clapped his hands as if to attract attention, and then opened his mouth.

“Those guys who wanted to turn this good festival into a funeral have crawled into this auditorium. As Karina’s guard knight, I have received the protection of Philia and used my flute to call out those who harbor evil intentions toward Karina. Everyone, pay attention!

These are the people who dared to assassinate the saint!”

Now the atmosphere went beyond being scary and started to show signs of madness. People didn’t come forward as if there were still lines to be followed, but they poured out a lot of swear words.

Numerous curses were poured out, such as calling them no better than dogs, deserving punishment from heaven, and being poorly educated at home, but the assassins just stared into space with blank faces.

This was because Philia’s playing had caused great damage to her spirit.

Thinking of Philia, who had a violent personality despite her beautiful performance, John removed the assassins’ bast masks one by one, opening the beginning of the execution ceremony that would be a funeral for the assassins and a new festival for the people.
