Chapter 95
“That’s all for today’s cla.s.s . ” (Diego)
<hr>
Eleonor didn’t appear all day . I’m sure something’s wrong .
When Eleonor was in the temple she said she couldn’t move by her own will . If she’s in the same condition as that time then she might not be able to come meet me .
Should I go meet her?
“Um, Arnos-sama . Did anyone talk to you about going to the festival?” (Misa)
“Fumu . I’ve got a bit of business to take care of but you should go and enjoy it . ” (Arnos)
“I see . ” (Misa)
“I’ve going to give it a miss today as well . I’m pretty tired . ” (Ray)
“Were you up late?” (Misa)
“I not sleeping well due to the pillow being different . ” (Ray)
“I see…… . ” (Misa)
Misa looks a bit disappointed so Ray goes over to her and whispers
“Do you want to join me taking a nap?” (Ray)
“… . . Eh, errm… . . ” (Misa)
I see . You want to be alone with Misa .
“Don’t want to?” (Ray)
“N . . no . I mean yes I’ll… . come with you . ” (Misa)
The girls in the fan union started whispering about them .
“……Ray-kun is sleepy…… . ”
“Yeah . Don’t Ray-kun and Arnos-sama share the same room……?”
“Waiit, waiiit! What are you thinking about!?”
“Nothing . I’m not thinking about any special contact or anything… . ”
“Don’t say special contact!”
“… . . Then, theeeen, in other words… . . now… . . Misa is… . ”
“Going to indirectly share a bed!?!?”
<hr>
Leaving them to their talk I leave the auditorium .
Using my demon eyes I try to locate Eleonors magic power but I can’t find it anywhere .
Are you erasing your magic power? Misha couldn’t find Eleonor either when she was looking .
What I can find and follow though is Diegos magic power .
If the hero academy has done something to her then there’s no way the head of the school doesn’t know about it .
I make myself invisible with <Rainel>, hide my magic power with <Najira> and follow Diego .
He leaves at a quick pace and heads to lake Seimei .
Using <Fres> Diego quickly moves through the empty lake and heads to a formerly underwater cave . I thought he would have headed to the temple .
We proceed through the dim cave and as we approach the back a small spring gus.h.i.+ng out holy water appears .
Using <Coco> Diego jumps into the spring .
Following closely behind I find its both deep and very large . Its outside state is different from the inside .
Using <Fres> again Diego swims like a fish through the water and dives towards the bottom .
Just as I was wondering how deep it was the bottom finally shows up and I see a huge door locked with <Digit> .
Diego opens the door and heads inside but I wait .
Even with my magic and figure hidden he’ll notice someone opening the door so I wait for him to leave .
“Open . ” (Arnos)
After waiting a few minutes I open the door to find a stone building inside .
This side of the door is dry due to magic holding the water back behind the door .
What on earth is he doing here?
As I walk down the pa.s.sage I find a collapsed wall and its new . Within a few days I’d say .
The further in the building I go the more internal destruction I find . Floors, ceilings and walls are crushed, cut or just fallen into holes .
Fumu . It’s like there was a battle here recently .
“Aren’t there any clues yet!”
An angry voice calls out and its Diego .
It’s coming from behind a nearby door .
I stand behind it and listen carefully .
“…… . I know he’s a masked man… . ”
“I received that report this morning! I’m telling you to give me something new!” (Diego)
“I’m very sorry . ”
“Is this not the work of the demon king academy?” (Diego)
“… . . I couldn’t detect the thief’s magic power . I can’t even tell if it was a mazoku…”
A masked man whose magic power you cant sense huh?
That’s a familiar story .
“Besides, our plan isn’t known to the demon king academy so it’s unlikely they attacked this facility . It’s probably the work of the Virhia Empire to the west . ”
“There’s no reason for those guys to do this! We’ve been building up friendly relations with them for more than a 1000 years!” (Diego)
“… . As may be but it would be foolish to completely trust all of Azes.h.i.+on . Is there a spy in the academy? They might have heard the rumours of the holy mother . ”
The room falls silent . Is Diego keeping quiet?
