Episode 240 Prank (2)
Where should we begin to say that this is wrong?
The reputation of a superficial Grand Meister that not even the students of the Transcendental Academy can recognize?
Or the distrust of Lois that made it impossible for him to even have the slightest trust?
‘Hey, Lois is the owner of the tower? Lois’s face became astonished as she looked into Shiva’s eyes, where her inner thoughts were clearly revealed: ‘How can someone like that become the owner of the tower?’
Just-.
Sparks flew from Shiva’s forehead along with a strange sound.
“If you don’t show off that irreverent look right now, I’ll hang you upside down from the bell tower.”
“Well, why do you say that after hitting me first!”
Just-.
“Kak!”
Shiva, who was protesting, clutched his forehead again and fell down.
Kendrick came to his side and patted his back, saying, ‘I know that pain!’
Lois’s eyes narrowed as she watched the two of them.
‘That bastard…’ ‘Why are you becoming more and more shameless?’
It was Lois who didn’t give a single thought to the fact that Shiva was like that because of her.
Shiba stood up, sniffling slightly.
It seemed like he still didn’t believe in the existence of the Grand Meister, but Lois didn’t really care.
Anyway, it was something that would be resolved over time.
‘It would be fun to go and see what kind of expression that guy makes.’
Lois chuckled to herself and sipped her tea.
“uh… hmm… I’ll just go… … .”
Sierra, who was watching, left the lab with an awkward look on her face.
Although one person was missing, the pest extermination research group was still noisy.
There were already a lot of people in the small research room, but with the three Grand Meisters joining it, it felt even more cramped.
Because of this, Shiba, who was the president in name but had the lowest rank, had no choice but to crouch in the corner of the study room.
Instead, Shiva opened his ears and listened to the conversation between Lois and the three outsiders.
The red-haired woman, Erica, was the first to open her mouth.
“But tower owner, why is the name of this research club called Pest Extermination?”
“Why? “It’s to catch bugs.”
“A bug?”
“Pests eating away at the Tower of Desire.”
“oh? So, this is like a secret investigation agency?”
“That’s roughly it.”
Shiva’s eyes widened as he heard the story.
‘So the name of the research group was the Pest Eradication Research Committee?!’
When we first formed the research group, Lois gave us that name, so we thought we just made something up, but it had such a meaning!
‘No, but why am I listening to this so seriously?’
The conversation between the three who claimed to be Grand Meisters and Lois was strangely intriguing.
Shiva pricked up his ears again.
This time the old dwarf spoke.
“But is it okay for us to stay here?”
“Originally, it is dark under the lamp. Who would think that you who are known to be dead would be in the Transcendental Science Museum?”
“That’s true, but… Maybe someone will recognize me… … .”
“who?”
Lois snorted.
“The girl who left earlier, and that bastard eavesdropping over there… … .”
Shiba shrugged his shoulders slightly at the voice pointing at him.
Lois sighed when she saw this.
“You guys openly say, ‘I am the Grand Meister!’ “Even though I said that, I don’t believe it, but if other people say, ‘There’s a Grand Meister here,’ I’ll believe it.”
“Kuhm… … .”
It was so true, but it also hurt so much that Douglas cleared his throat.
‘Ah, in the past, if you just walked around outside, people would recognize you and rush at you… … .’
I went into seclusion for a long time to escape from people’s troubles, and I completely forgot about it.
As Douglas scratched his cheek in embarrassment, Floria opened her mouth this time.
“So what do you plan to do from now on?”
“Since I threw the rice cakes, I should have seen the fish fluttering around… … .”
The problem was that there was currently no suitable way to inspect the water where fish gathered.
Lois asked, looking at the three.
“Is there anyone you can trust? “A loyal guy who will never betray you and will tell you what’s going on inside the tower.”
The three Grand Meisters were lost in thought at Royce’s question.
“He’s a trustworthy guy… … .”
“hmm… … .”
To be honest, in the past I would have confidently recommended it, but now I cannot easily answer who I can trust.
When they hesitated, Lois clicked her tongue.
“Tsk, anyway, these trash bastards are stuck in a corner of the house all the time, but they can’t even properly control the house.”
“Well, you’re a nuisance in the corner of the room. “How hard we worked to revive the tower!”
“you’re right! Look how big our tower has grown! “This is all the result of our hard work!”

“We worked hard too… … .”
Lois was impressed by the three’s excuses.
“How about it? Who would hear this and think that you started from scratch? I laid all the foundations, but if I couldn’t do this, I would have to go out and die. is not it?”
“… … .”
The Grand Meisters couldn’t even get their money’s worth and kept their mouths shut.
Of course, it was true that they had worked hard over the years.
But the partnership with the Tower of Radiance, the mind wave conversion material, the tower’s basic funds, etc.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Lois had not thoroughly laid the foundation before leaving in the first place, the current Tower of Desire would not have existed.
All the Grand Meisters did was clean up the path that Royce had made.
Knowing that, the Grand Meisters had nothing to say.
Lois clicked her tongue as she looked at the three with their mouths closed.
“Tsk, so is there anyone in the tower you can trust?”
“… I do not know.”
“Hey. “Anyway, these things are just as helpful now as they were 250 years ago.”
The three of them turned sullen again at Lois’s face.
Who would look at those three and think that they are the great Grand Meisters?
Lois let out a small sigh.
“I can’t help it. I wasn’t going to do this… … .”
“Is there any way?”
“method? “Yes.”
Lois smiled at the gaze directed at her.
“Let’s play ghost game together.”
* * *
After hearing the news of his teacher’s death, Harold returned home and cried alone.
“Master… … .”
It was none other than Douglas who took him from the streets as a child, fed him, put him to sleep, and taught him.
Douglas was Harold’s mentor, father, and only family member.
No matter how much I had expected it, my teacher’s death was not without sadness.
The sadness that he had suppressed because he did not want to appear weak to other Meisters burst out when he was left alone at home.
“Huh… Master, just a little… “Why don’t you stay a little longer?”
I feel sad that I can no longer see my respected teacher.
I regret why I couldn’t have done better when I was alive.
Harold shed tears endlessly as he drank alcohol, which he usually did not drink.
The alcohol and sadness piled up, and Harold fell asleep without realizing it.
How much time has passed since then?
“Harold… … .”
Harold opened his eyes to the sound of a voice ringing in his ears.
‘This… … ?’
A hazy fog was hovering over his bedroom.
“It’s Harold.”
The voice calling me was coming from within the fog.
Also, that voice was all too familiar to Harold.
Harold suddenly raised his upper body and shouted at the fog.
“Master… … ? Are you Master?!”
As soon as he finished shouting, a figure walked out of the fog.
The shape of an old dwarf.
“iced coffee… … .”
Tears welled up in Harold’s eyes as he remembered the image of his teacher.
‘Hello… Are you saying he really passed away?’
He believed that the current situation was the spirit of his dead teacher visiting him through a dream.
Harold fell at Douglas’s feet, sobbing.
“Hehehehe, Master! How… “How could you have gone in such vain!”
Harold cried out so bitterly that it made anyone who saw him cry.
Douglas opened his mouth to him.
“I feel sorry… I feel so resentful… … .”
“S-Master?”
“Harold, Harold. “I feel so resentful.”
“W-what do you mean?”
“That guy… “They killed us.”
“yes?”
“That guy… They killed us! “That guy!”
Douglas’ white face was filled with bitter resentment.
Harold had a hunch.
The reason why the Master’s spirit came to visit him.
It’s meant to convey something.
“how… “What happened, Master?”
“Harold… … .”
“Who is that guy? “Who on earth killed Master?”
“Harold… Be careful… … .”
“Tell me, Master! I am… I will avenge Master! I definitely will! “Who on earth harmed Master?”
Harold shed tears.
His expression was so sincere that he seemed not to have the slightest disbelief in Douglas’s story.
‘Master’s death wasn’t an attack by a monster!’
Harold promised.
“I will definitely uncover the secret of your death, and after that, I will catch the bastard and tear it into a thousand or ten thousand pieces and place it on your grave! In this way, I will comfort your soul, Master!”
Harold’s shout rang loudly.
And it was that moment.
“Okay, cut! Until there.”
The fog cleared with a sudden shout.
At the same time, light came into Harold’s bedroom, and several figures fell from the ceiling.
“… … ?”
Harold is surprised by an unexpected situation.
“W-what is this?!”
Harold’s eyes widened as he looked at the faces of those who suddenly appeared.
“… Erica? Floria?”
The people who fell from the ceiling were none other than Erica and Floria.
‘It’s them…’ Even so… … .’
It is said that they also died together with Douglas.
If so, they could all appear together in their dreams.
‘however… … .’
The problem was that there was a completely unexpected person next to the three.
“Oh, you’re not wasting your age, are you? “Good emotional acting, Douglas.”
“Hehe, isn’t this all about age?”
This person pats his teacher’s shoulder.
There was no way Harold could not recognize him.
Because he was a student at his own school, Transcendental Studies.
That’s also a student he had his eye on.
Harold said his name with an ecstatic expression on his face.
“Rois… … ?”
While Harold was looking devastated, Douglas looked at Lois carefully and asked.
“by the way… “What did you think?”
Lois answered Douglas’ question with a smile.
“Not him. Are you sure. “If that’s acting, then he’s not a meister of transcendence, he’s a meister of acting.”
“That’s right. Lol.”
Harold had no idea what was going on.
A student at the Transcendental Academy who appears in his dreams and speaks informally to his teacher.
Master, who accepts this without any hesitation.
While he was so dazed, Douglas came up to him with a kind face and patted his student on the shoulder.
“Kkeulkeul, I believed it. I thought it would be different with us Harold! cancer!”
“S-Master?”
A heavy feeling on the shoulder.
Now Harold couldn’t tell if this was a dream or reality.
At that time, Douglas opened his mouth with a serious expression.
“Do you remember what I talked about with you?”
“Which… “Do you mean that?”
“Someday, the Tower Lord will return, so don’t be fooled by his appearance and give everything to him.”
“ah! “I remember.”
That was a story Douglas had told his younger self.
Harold nodded and Douglas smiled and pointed at Lois.
“Now, say hello. He is the true owner of our Tower of Desire.”
“yes? … “You mean Lois?”
“Uh-huh! Royce-kun! “It’s the owner of the tower!”
“… … ?”
Harold’s eyes turned to Erica and Floria.
Those nodding their heads as if what Douglas said was true.
And then Harold’s gaze landed on Lois.
‘That guy… Tower owner?’
With that thought in mind, Harold, who had been wandering between dreams and reality, nodded.
“ah… “It’s a dream.”
Harold mumbled and went back to bed and covered himself with the blanket.
“What kind of crazy dream… … .”
And then quietly close your eyes again.
Douglas, embarrassed by his student’s behavior, rolled his eyes and looked at Lois.
And he could see.
The bulging blood vessels on Tapju’s temples.
‘These…’ … .’
Sivana, Harold.
How come their reactions are the same?
Lois said through gritted teeth.
“Give me 3 seconds. “Wake up that bastard.”
“yes!”
Douglas’s action was swift.
