The Demon Prince goes to the Academy Chapter 583

Chapter 583

The day after Louise von Schwarz arrived at the Temple.

In the first place, not many people returned to the Royal Class Dormitory, and Louise was the commander of the Kernstadt Army.

That’s why I felt that those who recognized her were a little nervous, but it wasn’t noisy.

Whether people recognized her or not, Louise found it strange that she was in the Temple itself.

breakfast time.

“… … He was patrolling the area.”

“Yes, sister.”

“Didn’t I tell you to rest?”

Louise’s expression hardened slightly.

“sorry… … .”

“I didn’t mean to hear that.”

Just looking at the gap between the two makes me feel like something is going on inside me.

Seeing this scene where they are so awkward with each other, from the point of view of people who know each other, I think I’m really going to die of confrontation!

“still… … . There was nothing particularly special about it. The area around the ecliptic certainly seemed safe. The monster couldn’t even poke its nose. Ellen? yes?”

At Heinrich’s request for support, Ellen, who had been quietly breaking bread, nodded.

“Yes, I definitely don’t have a monster problem. I don’t think I will do patrol because it doesn’t mean much anymore.”

After returning to the temple, they went out like crazy, but these two couldn’t draw a knife or cut a radish. So, it was time to rest.

However, Heinrich and Ellen’s expressions darkened as they looked at the eyes looking out of the banquet hall window.

Following starvation and cold, piling up snow was also a big problem.

The cause of all this was the gate avalanche and the monsters, but now the monsters have become a secondary problem. While talking about this and that, Louise looked at Ludwig at her meal.

“Well, by the way Ludwig. Thank you for yesterday.”

“yes? ah… … . No, Commander. It was no big deal.”

What do you mean?

Louise What is this man thankful for Ludwig?

Perhaps feeling Heinrich’s gaze the way I felt, Louise became startled.

An expression as if he had lost money by saying something that he shouldn’t have said.

“Yesterday on the road… … . guided me.”

“Directions… … yo. this?”

“When I arrived yesterday, it snowed so much… … .”

Louise’s face was slightly flushed.

no no no

“if… … . Are you lost?”

“… … Yes.”

What.

why is this lady so cute

She doesn’t even look like an ajumma, maybe because she’s a superwoman who went to the master class in the first place.

Come to think of it, yesterday Louise von Schwarz arrived at the temple very late.

Both Ellen and Heinrich were out in the lobby because they couldn’t sleep at all because of the piling up snow.

It wasn’t that he arrived late in the first place, but that he was lost in the ecliptic.

It seems that it is unavoidable because there is too much snow.

A princess who gets lost and wanders on a snowy day.

“So if I hadn’t met Ludwig in time… … . I must have been more lost… … .”

It is said that he met Ludwig after getting lost and was guided to the temple.

No, now that I think about it, even if I found the temple, it’s a problem.

The inside of the temple is incredibly spacious.

Even if you tried to find the temple, you would have lost your way again while looking for the royal class dormitory.

If I hadn’t been lucky enough to run into Ludwig, I might not have greeted my morning on the street at all.

“Ludwig, were you busy with work yesterday? You must have arrived late.”

Heinrich asked Ludwig, who was eating, whether Heinrich felt my doubts as well.

“It’s not that I’m busy… … . The work was done on time, but when I came back… … . I’m late to help because someone needs help.”

“That’s awful… … . It feels like you.”

“haha… … .”

He said he couldn’t give me my habits.

That’s why I was able to find the lost princess, so I think it’s a good thing in the end.

Anyway, I could see Ludwig’s expression getting better.

It seemed that the purification work was realizing that Ludwig could do something meaningful for him.

The wound may not be completely healed, but it can be overcome somehow, and Ludwig seemed to be in the process of overcoming it.

Because Ellen forcibly brought her to the temple, it’s like gathering information, but I also think it’s fortunate to see Ludwig getting better and better.

“huh?”

-Aug

“Yep.”

As I sat on her lap, Ellen gently rubbed my back.

this… … .

very comfortable… … .

If it wasn’t for the gate incident, I might be able to live as a cat for the rest of my life… … .

Of course, you should be good at choosing the owner like me.

To be honest, it seems that Paktong also likes the cat image… … .

Heinrich looks at Ludwig and asks.

“Are you going out with that priest for purification work today?”

“Yeah, he told me to come early today, so I’m going to leave early. Because it snowed a lot.”

“Purification work… … ?”

Louise tilted her head as if to say something.

“A contagious disease is spreading in the ecliptic, so I am in charge of guarding the priest who purifies the contagious disease.”

At those words, Louise’s eyes widened.

“You are doing a good job.”

“Oh, no. In fact, I don’t do much. There are more cases where we just end up walking next to each other… … .”

“Still, isn’t that a good thing?”

“that… … . thank you.”

Louise quietly nodded, as if it seemed admirable that she was trying to do something even with her body like that. She seemed even more sorry.

That lady, that lady, seems to have already reached its maximum liking for Ludwig.

what… … . If there are people who hate a guy who is just nice, that person who hates them is the problem.

And I hated Ludwig for nothing.

yes i have a problem

If you think about it, everything in the world is because of me, so the problem is right… … .

I’m suddenly depressed… … .

Louise stares at Ludwig’s back as he leaves the banquet hall.

“You are a good boy.”

Louise seemed to think that Heinrich was fortunate to have such a kind-hearted friend among his friends.

And it seemed that such a person had no choice but to feel sorry for the reality of losing an arm like that.

“Yes that’s right… … .”

At Louise’s words, Heinrich smiled bitterly.

* * *

Both Ellen and Heinrich had confirmed that the area outside the ecliptic was safe, so there was no need to go out on patrol.

And Heinrich wouldn’t be able to go out even if he wanted to because of Louise who had entered the temple.

After breakfast, Louise and Heinrich came out of the Royal Class Dormitory.

I have no intention of patrolling the outskirts anymore. For several days, I had seen everything with my own eyes that I was already sufficiently well-prepared.

The reason Heinrich left the dormitory now was to let him look around the temple.

Even Heinrich, who was not very observant, knew that his mother, who did not show much emotion at all, was in a state of excitement right now.

But there was a problem.

“Your eyes are so… … . A lot have come.”

“I mean… … .”

The snow that had started to fall yesterday dyed the whole world white, so everything around it was pure white.

Fortunately, the snow continued to fall, as if the snow had been removed, but it wasn’t so much that it was uncomfortable to walk around.

“There must have been an uproar outside.”

“It will.”

Like everyone else, Heinrich and Louise couldn’t be happy with these eyes. So the snow falling from the sky just felt like a terrible curse.

Heinrich looked at Louise as if he remembered something.

“Shall we melt the snow?”

“You mean by your ability?”

“Yeah, I’ve never written anything like this before… … . I don’t think there’s anything I can’t do.”

“Um… … . Would you like to try?”

“yes.”

Heinrich begins to concentrate his strength.

“If it goes well, don’t you think we can melt the snow of the ecliptic instead of patrolling?”

Heinrich was smiling heartily, as if he was thinking of clearing the ecliptic of snow with his own abilities.

“Yeah what… … . Try it for now.”

For the moment, Louise quietly watched what Heinrich was doing.

-Kurrureurreung!

Louise soon saw a red orb of flame in the high sky.

“I am the youngest. Are you going to summon the sun… … ?”

“Well, that would be a big deal, but for now… … .”

Not only did the flames spread tremendous brilliance everywhere, but the powerful heat was felt on the skin.

A sphere of flame that burns with a roar.

It was melting the snow accumulated on the ground.

obviously.

– patter

“… … .”

“… … .”

The snow that fell from the sky turned into rain and began to pour.

Naturally, the two of them had no choice but to get rained on instead of snow in the middle of winter.

As it was raining instead of snowing, the clothes Louise and Heinrich were wearing were soaked in an instant.

“Uh, no… … .”

Heinrich made a foolish noise and destroyed the fireball that was blazing in the sky.

Louise let out a deep sigh.

“It looked like it would be here.”

“Is that so… … .”

“If the heat is enough to melt the accumulated snow and evaporate at once, you can use this method. However, it would be a big deal if people were exposed to that kind of heat. No, worrying about fire must come first. But if you melt the snow clumsily like this, the whole street will turn into ice.”

Louise thought that the big picture drawn by Heinrich would not mean much, but decided that Heinrich would do it himself rather than explain it in words, so he left it alone.

“… … sorry. I just got wet.”

Heinrich’s face reddened, as if he was ashamed that he only realized it after doing something that he could have known just by thinking about it.

“I hope I get into the habit of thinking a little deeper.”

“yes… … .”

“still… … .”

Louise laughs at Heinrich.

“You use your heart right.”

“yes… … .?”

Even if it failed and it didn’t mean much, I tried it because I wanted to help people.

“I wonder if that alone is enough.”

Louise laughed and added that.

Heinrich couldn’t help but be dazed by the sudden words.

“Go, thank you sister… … .”

Seeing Ludwig forced Louise to have a change of heart. And Louise couldn’t help but be happy that Heinrich had a similar appearance to Ludwig.

of course.

Louise, like Heinrich, lost her senses even after talking about something she wouldn’t normally do.

And, that’s not the only problem.

So naturally, in the cold winter air, the two had no choice but to feel the extreme cold in real time.

In Louise’s case, it wasn’t a problem, but in Heinrich’s case, it was a problem.

Watching Heinrich’s lips turn blue, Louise sighed.

“… … Let’s change our clothes first.”

“… … yes.”

The two went out for a walk and had no choice but to go straight back.

* * *

Heinrich and Louise changed into other clothes and went for a walk in the temple.

“Maknae, aren’t there as many people at the temple as before?”

“Schools are not running, so people are one-tenth the usual? No, less than that.”

“If you can clear the snow like this even inside the temple, you might not need to worry too much about the outside.”

“That would be nice.”

Louise and Heinrich walked the temple.

“Do you know about the education of the temple?”

“I know.”

There is also an academy in Kernstadt, and in fact, the Kernstadt Academy has followed Temple’s method quite a lot.

From the method of conducting common education and major education separately, to education from a very young age, to receiving education in a mixture of all classes without restrictions on social status.

“That is the classroom building where we received common education.”

“ah… … . I see.”

Louise looks at the pure white classroom building.

“That was a swimming pool… … . That’s where I did my physical training… … .”

“okay.”

Heinrich went around the temple and explained it.

The classroom building where education was held during the Royal Class, the building where psychic powers were taught, the places where magical power transmission training was received, and so on.

And she took Louise not only to the royal class, but also to the primary and secondary schools she attended as a very young child.

“This is Main Street. Although the store is now closed, most of the Temple students used to gather here to eat or stop by the cafe. Except for going out to the ecliptic on weekends, most of the students came here.”

“The distance is very large.”

“Yes. There are more than 100,000 students alone, and it is the street where those students usually gather. And with students from all over the continent, I was able to taste the indigenous food of many places. what… … . I didn’t particularly like it.”

“I see.”

People who came and went were extremely rare except for the guards who were clearing snow, but the space was once crowded with numerous students.

As people from all continents gather, cultures from all continents gather.

Main Street, while not an educational site, was a symbol of Temple’s success and prosperity.

However, now there was not a single store open in the snowy streets.

Louise knew all the places in her head.

The number of students, the main street, the other schools Heinrich attended.

I knew it in my head, but in reality it was the first place and sight.

“You’ve lived your whole life in a place like this.”

“yes.”

Louise said so quietly, and Heinrich nodded.

“How can I say this… … . I may be rude to my sister, but the temple is a nice place.”

“It’s okay not to notice. Do you not know that the academy in Kernstadt is no better than Temple?”

Louise stares at the scene of the snowy temple.

“The Academy in Kernstadt is not, and cannot be, the size of Temple. Looking at it like this, I think it was possible because it was an empire.”

Although the academy in Kernstadt followed Temple, it was not able to secure the scale of Temple.

First of all, there is no reason to choose Kernstadt Academy when there is the best academy on the continent called Temple. Most of the students who enter Temple are from wealthy families. There is absolutely no reason why they should be admitted to a second-tier academy.

The academy in Kernstadt subsidizes tuition, but the state itself stumbles if it is fully funded like Temple.

That’s why the number of academies themselves is small, and the scale is inevitably small.

It wasn’t that Louise didn’t know that in the first place, so just because Heinrich said that didn’t mean he was ignoring Kernstadt Academy.

“No, sister. It didn’t mean that.”

Heinrich said quietly as he met his eyes on the streets of Main Street.

“I’m just saying I’ve lived my whole life in a good place.”

“ah… … .”

Louise’s sudden words made her breathless.

“I wasn’t particularly happy, but I wasn’t particularly unhappy either. Rather, I was in a good place, with good people.”

“… … .”

“So, you don’t have to make that face.”

Only then did Louise think about what kind of expression she had been making all this time.

As Heinrich passed many places, schools, dormitories, and streets he had been through so far.

Louise felt a lot of guilt for not being able to watch the scene, for not being able to stay with her, and for living her whole life without even knowing the truth.

That’s why I couldn’t tell you the proper impressions while passing through all the places.

Louise had no choice but to have a hardened expression the whole time because the guilt was not resolved and rather deepened.

It’s been a while since I came to the temple and was happy.

In the end, it was regrettable that she couldn’t watch them, and she was also saddened, and in the end, she was sorry, so Louise’s mood was sinking more and more.

Temple is a nice place, and I have been in such a nice place.

So that means you don’t have to be sorry.

Louise didn’t know if she deserved to hear those words.

I had never looked after her, never taken care of her, never had a proper conversation with her.

Even after knowing all the facts, we still couldn’t have a proper conversation.

In case someone hears, they still call their son the youngest, and the son calls his mother his sister.

“Thank you… … . Thank you for growing up well.”

“Ah, you think so… … . thank you.”

Louise couldn’t help but blame herself for not being able to say that.

Even if the nation’s power was intact, Louise confirmed with her own eyes that Kernstadt could not follow Temple.

thank god.

If Temple was a good place for my son to grow up like this, it’s fortunate that Kernstadt couldn’t follow Temple.

I was in a good place, with good people.

How lucky is that

But while Louise was moved by that thought, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Did you live among good people?

What a terrible lie that is.

Louise smiled bitterly.

“I lived a temple life with the demon king, but to be with good people… … . Can I lie to you to comfort me? still… … . Thank you for saying that.”

“yes? ah… … .”

Her son must be one of the ten most unlucky people in the world.

Even so, it was a lie to comfort herself, Louise had no choice but to understand.

However, at her words, Heinrich was speechless as if he had received a great shock.

Louise resented her tongue as she looked at her son, who was silently widening his eyes.

Did you mention the devil too carelessly?

It is clear that he said something inappropriate.

You might feel guilty for not being able to stop all of this without knowing anything while being by the devil’s side.

“Youngest, I just… … .”

“sister.”

Louise nodded in bewilderment, amid fear that somehow seemed to tighten her heart.

“okay. I am listening.”

From Heinrich’s terrifyingly stiff expression, Louise felt the kind of fear she had never experienced in her life.

Heinrich’s expression hardened sternly.

I was thinking.

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but he just looked at himself for a while as if he was trying to choose his words.

I can’t say anything, but if I hear words of resentment, will I be able to stand it?

Under pressure that seemed to suffocate, Louise waited for the words to come out of Heinrich’s mouth.

After a long silence, a long time had passed, enough for the snow on my shoulders to stop piling up and fall.

“I’ve been contemplating whether or not I should talk to my sister… … . I think my sister should know.”

“I… … . What you need to know… … ?”

“yes.”

The words that came out of his son’s mouth were not words of resentment or an expression of sadness.

Heinrich opened his mouth slowly with a firm expression.

“actually… … . Before my brothers try to kill me… … . The Demon King has come.”

“!”
