Chapter 645
after a while
Ludwig returned from a short walk.
To be precise, he had just stopped by at the Magic University, but it didn’t take long.
Because of my nervousness, I couldn’t leave my seat for long.
Scarlett was in a very dangerous situation right now.
It was only natural for Scarlett to be taken aback when she said the unreasonable thing to do as I said without explaining the proper circumstances.
So it was natural to give him time to think about it, but he couldn’t give it much time.
Returning to the Temple Dormitory, Ludwig cautiously knocked on Scarlett’s door.
“Scarlett, it’s me.”
Ludwig stood in front of the door and waited quietly.
There was no answer.
Are you thinking somewhere other than your room?
-smart
“Scarlett.”
He knocked again, but Ludwig did not hear an answer.
Ludwig waits quietly in front of the door for an answer.
-smart
And three times.
Ludwig’s expression hardened.
Ludwig knows too.
In the first place, there are no people in the room.
I just knocked on the door just in case.
Ludwig knew that Scarlett was not in the room.
“… … .”
if.
no way.
It can’t be.
never.
It can’t be.
Scarlett can’t do that.
Ludwig repeated himself as if hypnotized.
Thinking so, Ludwig’s pupils sank more and more into the abyss.
then.
What to do.
how do i
How is Scarlett?
no.
How to ‘scarlett’.
Should I?
“… … .”
Just like that, around the time when the ominous shadow of his heart passed over Ludwig to the thought that he had to make an ominous decision.
“Ludwig.”
Ludwig turned his head at the presence that he felt in the lobby rather than a visit.
Scarlett was walking from the lobby, dragging a huge trunk.
“I have something to take care of.”
The words were barely audible to Ludwig.
Ludwig walks towards Scarlett as it is.
Seeing Ludwig stride forward, Scarlett couldn’t help but panic.
Seeing that terrifying hardened expression, Scarlett unconsciously took a step back.
“Ludwig… … ? Why do you look like that… … .”
– Wow!
“!”
Ludwig hugged Scarlett roughly as it was.
Scarlett, of course, was taken aback by Ludwig’s sudden hug.
“Why, why all of a sudden… … .”
“thank god.”
“… … yes?”
“thank god.”
Even though Scarlett didn’t belong to her, she vividly felt Ludwig’s heart beating furiously as if she were about to burst.
What are you happy about?
What are you so relieved about?
“thank god… … . I’m so glad… … .”
Scarlett doesn’t know.
no wonder.
I think I know a little bit.
Scarlett couldn’t help but shiver a little.
“Gee, calm down. I… … . I am not going anywhere.”

Scarlett hugged the relieved Ludwig and carefully rubbed his back.
Because they were hugging, Scarlett couldn’t see how violently Ludwig’s eyes were shaking.
“thank god… … . Scarlet… … .”
Because you don’t have to think about anything.
Because you don’t have to imagine anything.
Ludwig muttered the same thing endlessly like a madman.
Scarlett did not suddenly disappear like Ludwig’s ominous imagination.
It was just that he had gone somewhere to get something, and he had brought a large trunk with him.
“You said you didn’t have time. Go right away.”
“ah… … . okay. Let’s go, Scarlett.”
as if to calm down.
Saying she’s not going anywhere, Scarlett just rubs Ludwig’s back as if to reassure him while hugging him.
Scarlett was packing her things without asking or arguing anymore.
But Ludwig was thinking that Scarlett might have disappeared.
Then I was thinking what to do.
If Scarlett had disappeared, if she had other thoughts.
then what to do
I was imagining what to do with Scarlett.
He doubted Scarlett, who was trying to follow him, even for a moment.
Beyond doubt, I even had a fearful imagination.
“I’m sorry, Scarlett. Sorry… … .”
“no… … .”
Hearing Ludwig’s voice suddenly apologizing, Scarlett hugs Ludwig even tighter.
Just as Scarlett couldn’t see Ludwig’s wavering eyes because they were hugging each other.
‘I am… … . I’m more sorry… … .’
Ludwig also couldn’t see Scarlett’s distorted expression.
* * *
Ludwig and Scarlett were walking out of the Royal Class dormitory.
Aside from Ludwig’s relief that his ominous imagination had not become reality, Ludwig couldn’t help but be curious.
“By the way, what did you go out to pack?”
If there’s anything you need to take care of, isn’t it all about clothes? The clothes should have been in Scarlett’s room, but they appeared in the lobby.
“Oh, I brought some books from the library. I guess… … . Ludwig won’t talk, but I think he’ll be around for a long time.”
“I see… … .”
Even without telling him anything, he seemed to know that he would be leaving the temple for quite some time.
Ludwig had no choice but to accept that he had brought books to pass the time.
“Is Ludwig taking care of the return?”
Scarlett looks at Ludwig with a mischievous expression and says.
to return the book
It sounds really carefree, but Ludwig smiled bitterly because it meant that Scarlett was deliberately ignoring it.
“… … I’ll return it, and if you need anything, I’ll bring it to you.”
“You mean it doesn’t have to be a book, right?”
“of course.”
It’s a world where there isn’t much to save, but he intended to bring anything within his power.
Naturally, I couldn’t help but be grateful. How can I be thankful for you politely obeying the words that you will find a place to hide somewhere in case someone tries to use your power.
“But what about the cat? I think I can take you.”
Ludwig wondered why Scarlett had not brought the cat she had just taken for a walk.
I don’t know if it’s a human, but isn’t it okay if it’s a cat?
I’m sure you’ll lead a boring life.
“He played with me for a while in the first place, he wasn’t even my cat. Wouldn’t it be better to stay in the Temple Dormitory?”
“ah… … . I guess so. Scarlett just came back too.”
“Yes.”
Scarlett quietly sees the temple entrance approaching.
someone who doesn’t say anything.
A person who tells outright lies.
who is worse
Of course it would be the latter.
Scarlett thought so.
* * *
As soon as she came out of the temple, what Scarlett faced was a wizard wearing a robe.
It was a wizard wearing a plain gray robe with no special features.
Scarlett didn’t ask Ludwig anything, and Ludwig was grateful to Scarlett for not asking anything.
However, Scarlett knew who the existence in front of her was.
No, the expression “who” would not be appropriate.
I knew ‘what’.
An army of the dead.
However, when I didn’t know the identity, I wanted something, but now that I know it, even facing it can’t help but feel creepy.
In order to end the war, he dabbled in dangerous magic, and what is in front of him is only a small part of it.
– Flash!
With the teleport magic, Scarlett was able to reach a room she had never seen before.
Scarlett arrived not on the street, but in a certain room in a certain building.
Scarlett looks around in the spacious but unfamiliar room.
And I had no choice but to know at once the characteristics of the room I was in.
There are no windows.
I don’t know if it’s underground or above ground.
“Ludwig, this is… … . Where are you?”
Scarlett didn’t even know if this was somewhere inside the ecliptic or some other city.
When Scarlett asks where she is, Ludwig calmly grabs Scarlett’s shoulder.
“Scarlett.”
“… … yes.”
“wait a munite. I will never, never let you stay here too long.”
Make a promise, not an answer to a question.
Ludwig’s words say it all.
There is a meaning that you have to live a life that is equivalent to being imprisoned.
Ludwig explains various things to Scarlett.
If you need something or need something, tell the person outside the door if something happens.
There is plenty of food and other things to eat.
“I can’t go out here… … . did you?”
In the end, Ludwig lowered his eyes at Scarlett’s direct question.
“I’m sorry, everything to protect you… … .”
Ludwig was about to say that, but shut his mouth.
As if he couldn’t stand himself talking about the subject of locking up his friend.
“Sorry.”
“… … I can’t help it.”
The words of inevitability that came out of Scarlett’s mouth had a resonance very similar to what Ludwig once said.
* * *
Ludwig is back.
An army called Immortals.
Scarlett now knows that the rear support unit was the one she was talking about.
Ludwig would have been fighting on the front line, not in rear support. He must have been fighting in the most dangerous place.
Both the Demon King and Ludwig did what they could.
And Scarlett, too, chose what she thought was her job.
A room without windows.
The room itself is spacious, with a bathroom, of course, and there seems to be nothing inconvenient in life.
However, it was a spacious and large room, but Scarlett felt that the shape of this room was strange.
It’s not like there’s an iron bar.
All the furniture seemed to be made of luxurious materials.
However, there are no windows, and the structure of the entire room, which is unknown whether it is above ground or underground, soundproofing. There are things that I feel through those things.
It doesn’t look like a prison, but it’s a room made of a prison.
A prison built to confine those who are difficult to treat as prisoners.
Before the gate incident, was this room a prison for confining someone?
Scarlett doesn’t know.
But what has already happened must be accepted and endured.
Scarlett takes her clothes out of the trunk and starts organizing them.
You’ll have to stay here for a while.
The trunk contained more books than clothes.
Among the miscellaneous books, there are specialized books, novels, and history books. And there’s even a dictionary.
I brought it to pass the time.
Scarlett explained it that way.
Honestly, it was a book at a level that would take a year to read it all.
In a room with no one but herself, Scarlett pulls out one of her ordinary novels and opens it.
However, the contents of the novel were not written there.
Scarlett turns page by page.
There are certain expressions and shapes written there.
[Teleport]
[Mass teleport]
[Noise canceling]
The novel contained a magic scroll, not a novel.
‘I’m sorry, Ludwig.’
Scarlett carefully covered the scrollbook disguised as a novel and tucked it into the stack of books in the trunk.
Ludwig imprisoned Scarlett in an unknown prison.
No, to be precise, I misunderstood that I was locked up.
One thing I received from the demon king, a scroll book.
And the second thing.
Scarlett was adjusting the purple brooch she kept in her bosom.
When the time comes, the demon king will send a signal.
Then do what you promised.
“… … .”
Suddenly, Scarlett’s hands were wet with cold sweat.
* * *
‘… … I’ll help.’
After long consideration, Scarlett decided to help me.
To be honest, I didn’t expect Scarlett to be on my side.
But like Scarlett said, there could be people who understand me just as there are people who don’t understand me.
And Scarlett was the latter.
After returning to Lazark, I talked with Charlotte and Harriet.
“Wouldn’t it have been better to bring him?”
Harriet narrowed her eyes, wondering if she was worried about leaving Scarlet alone.
It seemed uneasy after returning with a scroll book and a signal.
Regardless of whether or not she can be used, it is dangerous to leave Scarlett there as long as she has decided to help us.
“I thought so too.”
“… … Could it be that you said you would stay?”
“uh.”
Charlotte was biting her lip.
In Class B, Charlotte was best friends with Scarlett.
“It’s risky, but at this point, Scarlett made a wise decision.”
However, contrary to her anxiety, Charlotte had no choice but to admit that Scarlett’s decision was for the best.
‘Wouldn’t the situation be more dangerous if I disappeared?’
Scarlett clearly said so.
“Even if Immortals are damaged, they can be restored automatically. Scarlett is the person who can neutralize Immortals most completely without any damage at this point, and if that Scarlett suddenly disappears… … . Something more dangerous could happen.”
Now that Christina, Ludwig and others are in control of the Immortals, provoking them is very dangerous.
It is the best decision that can reassure them that Scarlett is being held for now, rather than causing the guys who are excited just by Scarlett’s disappearance to do something more mysterious.
Scarlett chose to become a prisoner herself.
I’m grateful that I decided to help, but I even ended up in the most dangerous situation.
That’s why he gave me the scrollbook I had with me, as well as a signal I had made in preparation for how the story with Scarlett would unfold.
If Scarlett is in danger, or if Scarlett is needed on our side, we will send a signal.
In the end, Scarlett has to fool her friends.
A friend who has to lock up a friend.
And a friend who has to trick a friend who wants to trap him.
“… … It’s sad.”
Perhaps it was difficult to bear the reality of the class B classmates who were once classmates, Charlotte murmured dumbfounded with a depressed expression.
The possibility of Scarlett’s power transmitted through the antiaircraft.
As soon as he heard the news, he moved immediately, so he was able to reach Scarlett faster than Ludwig.
What if I was late?
What if Ludwig arrived at the Royal Class Dormitory after disappearing with Scarlett?
If Scarlett couldn’t figure out where she went.
How was it?
It was quick this time.
So Scarlett was able to use it.
But, like I said with my own mouth.
There is no change to the fact that using Scarlett is, in the end, endangering Scarlett.
turn around and eventually.
because of me.
Two original heroines.
Delphine is dead.
Scarlett has to cheat on Ludwig.
“… … .”
“everything will be alright.”
I don’t know what my expression was, but Harriet carefully hugged my shoulders.
“that’s right.”
Seeing the scene, Charlotte also nodded with a firm expression.
“everything will be alright.”
please.
that it should be fine
We say so, but whether it is a conviction or an assertion.
Or is it a prayer.
Is it just the wind?
We didn’t even know anymore.
