Chapter 125. Younger Sister (2)

However.

“…What? Why isn’t it here?”

There was nothing inside the dresser. All that was there were various kinds of underwear.

When Ruin began thoroughly searching through even the underwear, treating it like rocks, a scream soon rang out.

“You crazy bastard!”

Adeline rushed at Ruin.

“It gets dirty when you touch it! Take your hands off!”

However, Ruin casually lifted up Adeline and threw her onto the bed. Then he continued his investigation.

Finally, after throwing even the last piece of underwear and finishing his search, Ruin frowned.

‘Why isn’t it here?’

According to the Shadow’s prior investigation, the Demon Emperor’s item was definitely in this room.

Ruin’s eyes narrowed and turned cold.

“There’s no way it’s not here.”

And then, a voice came from behind.

“…I don’t know what you’re looking for, but…”

Adeline, who had put the underwear back, was trembling with anger.

“Could you stop doing creepy things? Don’t tell me you have some weird fetish?”

Ruin slowly turned his head.

“Where is the item you took from the Military?”

“!”

At those words, Adeline’s eyes widened. Then she let out a scoff as if it was absurd.

“Ah, that? I was wondering what you were looking for.”

Adeline was cooperating with the Military as a member of the Wayne Family. That’s why she could enter and exit Military facilities. One of the direct descendants had to cooperate with the country.

That’s why Ruin’s eyes flashed sharply for a moment.

“Where did you put that thing?”

“Why should I tell you that? A professor prying into a student’s private life would be a violation of academy regulations.”

“I’m a dormitory supervisor before I’m a professor.”

“….”

“And you’re my younger sister.”

Adeline’s eyebrows twitched.

“Hey. Don’t use that word.”

“Fine. Then let’s make it between a dormitory supervisor and a problem student.”

Ruin casually began searching the room again. He opened the closet and even found and searched through a secret box in the wardrobe.

“Wait, what are you doing! In someone else’s room! Aaah! Not there!”

“It’s the dormitory supervisor’s legitimate right.”

“Are you insane?!”

“Could be.”

Ruin lifted the bed mattress.

At that moment-

Crash!

Bundles of paper spilled out from under the bed mattress. Fluttering envelopes and letters, colorful ribbons and sealed envelopes covered the floor.

Ruin frowned.

“What’s all this now.”

He picked up one letter and opened it. As soon as he read it, the corner of Ruin’s mouth lifted slightly.

“…Ah, are these love letters by any chance?”

“What?!”

After reading the contents, Ruin looked disgusted.

“Are you doing compensated dating?”

Adeline’s face turned bright red.

“What nonsense! Those are from sponsors!”

“…Sponsors?”

Ruin hesitated for a moment, then asked back very slowly.

“Spon.sor?”

Younger Sister is relying on someone other than ‘Ruins Wayne’?

“That’s right! Someone precious who supports me! What I took from the Military was only sent to my sponsor!”

Ah. So that’s what it was.

Then well, I just need to take it back from the sponsor.

「I’ll be stealing it…」

Even so, Ruin had an angry expression.

His patience had been cracking since the box disappeared from the Military, but it was growing worse.

And for good reason – why does the sponsor have to be this bastard?

“By any chance, is that sponsor’s name… Lionel Croft?”

There was an edge to Ruin’s voice.

Adeline tilted her head as if wondering how he knew.

“Huh? That’s right. The Blue Moon Supervisor.”

Then she soon answered with a reddened face.

“True to Blue Moon’s nickname ‘Wall of Reason,’ he’s always rational, and unlike someone else, has excellent academic understanding. He’s someone who supports me well.”

Ruin laughed helplessly. That laughter soon turned into deep Freezing Aura.

‘…Ha. That AEGIS Agent? He was sponsoring the Wayne Family?’

No matter how you look at it, the intention is obvious.

This wasn’t sponsorship but Surveillance. At that reaction, Ginseng Superior grabbed Ruin’s side and whispered.

「Hey, calm down. Let’s not deal with AEGIS Agents. They’re Nox’s sworn enemies. If you carelessly mess with them-」

However, Fire Butterfly, who had his Treasure Chest stolen, flashed his eyes.

‘I’ll kill him. That AEGIS Agent.’

Ginseng Superior’s eyes widened.

“Calm down!”

However, Ruin pressed his brow.

‘…Come to think of it, sponsorship. How long has it been going on?’

From before? Or since I took the position at this Academy? Is the target Adeline, or is it me?

Well, it doesn’t really matter.

‘The Military’s item is the Demon Emperor’s Heart.’

His intuition told him that.

But to send that to an active AEGIS Agent…?

Pride’s legendary Spy seemed annoyed as he ran his hand through his hair.

“Do you even know what that was when you sent it?”

“Demon Dried Goods stored in the Military?”

…Dried goods. Hey.

‘It’s not entirely wrong but… that’s the Demon Emperor’s Heart…’

Of course, one might wonder how such a thing could be in the Military, but surprisingly the route was simple. A Soldier found a Treasure Chest rolling around in the Military Underground and stuck it in the Warehouse.

Moreover, since the Treasure Chest’s creator had died, the seal gradually began to weaken until eventually anyone could open it.

‘Or maybe because it was the Demon Emperor’s Heart, the Sealing Magic couldn’t hold it.’

But still, even so.

“Why did you send that to your sponsor?”

“…The Blue Moon Supervisor is very interested in Demon Race items. I happened to have something decent-”

“So you stole Military property?”

“Ugh. Everything in that Warehouse is just trash anyway.”

Fire Butterfly’s eyes turned menacing.

How dare they call my treasures trash?

However, Adeline let out a hollow laugh.

“If it was important in the first place, they wouldn’t have put it in such a shabby Burlap Sack-like Box.”

…Burlap Sack? How dare they call my Treasure Chest that?

“It is a bit shabby looking.”

Eventually, Ruin’s voice turned menacing as his anger flared.

“…Adeline. Do you… do you even know how ridiculous you look right now?”

“Ridiculous?”

“He’s sponsoring you because you’re connected to the Military.”

Adeline’s eyes turned fierce.

“I can tell that much myself. What’s the problem? In return, I received research funding and I’m using it to conduct research and produce results.”

“You think you’re just receiving that support for free? All that information goes straight to AEGIS.”

“…!”

Adeline spoke as if flustered.

“A-AEGIS? What connection could the Blue Moon Supervisor possibly have with AEGIS…!”

Ruin fell silent.

At that moment, a memory flashed through his mind. The memory of when he first met the Blue Moon Supervisor. At the time, Ruin had caught a familiar scent from him.

‘This is the scent of the special soap that AEGIS agents use to conceal their presence.’

Suspicion became certainty, and he immediately asked his Superior to investigate the man’s background. The answer came quickly.

“Confirmed. Lionel Croft. Former Union Military Officer, current Blue Moon Supervisor and Information Department Professor, and AEGIS field agent. You managed to find quite something, didn’t you? As expected of Fire Butterfly.”

Ruin let out a short sigh.

He still didn’t know the purpose. But as long as it was certain that the other party was an AEGIS agent, he was nothing but an enemy. And yet such a person is sponsoring my younger sister?

Ruin carelessly tossed aside the heartfelt letters.

“Enough, stop receiving sponsorship.”

“What?!”

Adeline looked incredulous.

“You’re saying this without any evidence?”

“Enough, don’t receive sponsorship.”

“If you’re a professor, you would have known the sponsor list from the beginning, so why were you quiet all this time? Why are you making that expression now?”

Why? Because he hadn’t touched my box before.

But from the moment he touched it, the story changed.

But if I said that, all hell would break loose…

“Because you’re my precious younger sister.”

“!”

Ruin turned around sharply.

Adeline’s eyes widened in an instant, as if she had heard something she shouldn’t have.

‘Just now… what?’

Adeline’s pupils shook wildly. She seemed to have forgotten how to breathe. It was unexpected.

Did Ruins Wayne just… say those words? The person who had never acted like family, now of all times?

As if responding to that, Ruin turned around and said one thing.

“So, I’m going to kill the Blue Moon Supervisor.”

…What?! Hey?!

* * *

Bang!

The door to the Blue Moon Supervisor’s Office burst open violently.

Lionel Croft, the Blue Moon Supervisor, furrowed his brow and looked up.

The one who entered was Ruins Wayne. Lionel pushed up his glasses as if tired.

“Professor Wayne, unannounced visits are-”

“Why are you sponsoring my younger sister?”

A direct hit that flew in before Lionel could finish speaking. At that straightforward question, Lionel raised his eyebrows slightly.

“…You mean Miss Adeline?”

“Do I have any other younger sister?”

Instead of words, Ruin threw the letter onto the desk.

As Lionel was about to unfold it, someone rushed in hurriedly.

“Wait! Wait a minute!”

It was Adeline.

In the cold atmosphere between Ruin and Lionel, Adeline looked back and forth between the two with a flustered face.

“Wait… why are you doing this to the Supervisor?!”

Lionel leaned back in his chair and very slowly crossed his arms.

“I don’t see what the problem is. Sponsorship is… sharing the resources I have with a student who shows promise. That child has talent. She’s a major asset for the future.”

Ruin’s lips curved upward.

“You’re coveting our family for such a trivial reason?”

“…?”

“Acting like family as a sponsor, giving advice, exerting influence… In the end, you’ve extended your dark claws toward my younger sister.”

Lionel’s gaze sharpened.

“…That’s an unpleasant leap of logic. Adeline is simply a student to me. An exceptional student.”

“Ah. So that’s why Aegis is targeting the Wayne Family’s information?”

Lionel looked at him with apparent confusion.

“What did you just say?”

“Lionel Croft. I never expected those who guard the ‘Night’s Gate’ to take interest in the Wayne Family.”

Lionel’s eyes wavered greatly for a moment.

Night’s Gate was slang for an Aegis Black agent.

‘Could he have noticed?’

The mocking smile he’d been wearing while looking at Wayne stiffened for the first time.

“…I don’t know what you mean.”

“What do you mean what do I mean? It’s useless for a faithful dog of the state waiting for commands to make excuses. Our family’s ‘Hound’s Insight’ has the power to see through what shouldn’t be seen.”

“…!”

Lionel’s eyes shook.

Adeline, who had been standing behind him, quietly swallowed.

“Wait… Hound’s Insight? Don’t tell me…!”

“That’s right.”

Ruin’s lips curved up coldly.

“I’ve awakened. What I couldn’t see before, now I can see with my ‘eyes.'”

「Awakening my ass…」

‘Be quiet.’

Meanwhile, Adeline’s expression hardened. And for good reason, since that was a Full Bloom Ability passed down only to Wayne Family bloodline.

Saint had ‘Destruction’, Gloucester had ‘Defense’, Isles had ‘Command’.

And Wayne had ‘Hound’s Insight.’

But Ruins Wayne had been dismissed and ignored, said to be distant from that power since birth.

But now.

‘Those eyes that pierce through truth… have awakened?’

“…This can’t be possible…”

Those eyes were an ability that had now disappeared even from the Wayne Family.

Of course, her siblings also had powers close to Hound’s Insight, but Adeline had the ‘Misfire’ ability that saw through attacks, and her Younger Brother had the power of ‘Distrust’ that read and concealed thoughts. There was no complete Hound’s Insight.

Lionel also looked flustered. While it was true that AEGIS intended to monitor the Wayne Family, could it be that among the Wayne Family’s failures, the biggest failure was?

“…How…”

Ruin didn’t miss that opportunity.

“The sponsorship ends here. From now on, my younger sister will be protected directly by the Wayne Family, not Blue Moon.”

Lionel’s smile slowly faded.

“…Is this a declaration of hostility?”

Then Ruin laughed briefly. His voice was calm, but there was a Freezing Aura within it.

“It’s a warning.”

Lionel’s eyes trembled narrowly. Ruin coldly added one more thing.

“So hand over what you took.”

Yes, so hand it over.

My Treasure Chest! The Demon Emperor’s Heart!

Without that… I can’t even retire and I’ll die! Damn it!

「…A legend who stakes his life on Severance Pay.」
