My Destiny To Be Loved By The Villains [part 2 ]

Chapter 131: A Student's Duty

༺ A Student's Duty ༻

"..."

"..."

People who were drowning in their suffering could recognize each other by just looking at each other's faces.

That was always the thought that came to mind whenever I met Atalante.

"Let's make a bet."

Atalante, showing the most haggard appearance yet, spoke such a sentence in a subdued voice.

"A bet?"

"Between the two of us, who brought the worse news."

"..."

What an apt bet.

Considering I was summoned by this person as soon as I returned to Elfante, it was highly likely that she had brought some seriously bad news too.

"...A Grand Assassin is currently in Elfante."

I was the one to start it off.

Just by seeing her eyes widen in shock, it was clear that the news I brought was anything but good.

"...Won't you need a nation-level budget to employ that person?"

Well...

There were only two Grand Assassins in the entire continent. Seras, and [Hessed], the head of the 'Vagabond,' so her thought went in the right direction in a way.

After all, unlike Seras, who was exclusively under the Pope, Hessed was a freelancer who could be employed or contracted by anyone.

"Judging from what you're saying, it seems like they infiltrated the academy because of something related to you. I can take some measures to—"

"...No, just leave her be."

"Excuse me?"

"It's more dangerous to carelessly mess around with her."

It would be a different story if we had not met at all.

But if the Purple Devil's Fragment began to awaken due to my influence, interacting with her carelessly would be dangerous.

Purple Devil. Or, Devil of 'Obedience'.

Out of the Rulers of Pandemonium, she was the most... How should I put it...?

Unique... I guess...

"...I'll handle it somehow."

As long as I was well aware of how to handle her, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that she was the least dangerous one among the Devils, but...

Currently, the Devils were fighting over my 'shares.' Her inclusion would only further complicate my situation. So, there was no need to interact with her unnecessarily.

The better course of action was to keep her close and moderately manage my interaction with her.

In other words...

The things that I needed to do were...

Make Eleanor, Yuria, and Lucia feel better...Awakening Faenol's emotions...Carry a bomb that was a Grand Assassin on my back at all times.

"..."

Simple and easy, am I right? ...Hell no.

Chapter 4 hadn't even started yet, but I had to do all this?

"...Haaa..."

But still, it wasn't like I could run away from it.

Besides, everything that I had done so far was pretty much something unmanageable.
