Chapter 146. What? The Prince? (2)

“…Fire Butterfly’s Retirement Money, fall before my eyes!”

Ruin swallowed his saliva.

Yes, finally the severance pay!

“Fall!”

Suddenly, with a jingling sound from the ceiling, a small coin fell to the ground.

It rolled quietly and stopped… a single gold coin.

“…”

“Uh…? Something seems to have come out.”

“Do it again.”

Noah muttered again with a tense face.

“Severance pay, more of it, before my eyes-”

Jingle! Jingle! Jingle! Jingle!

1 Quid, 1 Quid, another 1 Quid.

They piled up on the floor like change falling from a vending machine.

Ruin touched the corner of his eyes, feeling so happy he could cry.

It’s certain. This is my severance pay!

They weren’t just ordinary coins, but special money made of gold. They were worth several times more than regular money.

And actually, what made him happier than the money appearing was the fact that his severance pay was really inside this Haven!

‘Thank goodness. I found it before the Hero!’

Soon, the moved Ruin said.

“Make more come out.”

“I can’t!”

Ruin clenched his fist.

“If hitting you makes more come out, be prepared.”

“Damn it! Come out! Severance pay! More of it!”

Noah squeezed out his strength.

Then it stretched out a little more.

Clang clang clang!

10 quid. 10 quid. 10 quid.

“….”

When will I collect all of this….

“Again.”

“…Again.”

“Again.”

This was repeated dozens of times-

“Again.”

“Urgh….”

Noah’s body swayed. Cold sweat began to flow from his forehead. However, Ruin didn’t stop picking up the coins.

“Keep going. Until all the severance pay comes out.”

Noah bit his lips and extended his hand again.

“…Severance…pay…. Aah….”

Eventually Noah collapsed on the spot. His body trembled, and black energy leaked from his mouth.

“…?”

And then a growling voice that shook the room.

“Stop it! This child can’t endure any longer!”

The whites of Noah’s eyes turned black.

Ruin tilted his head.

“What are you again? A contract devil?”

The unknown being spewed out the black smoke that had been surrounding it and shouted loudly.

“How dare you not recognize me! I am the Sixth Evil!”

“…Sixth Evil? What’s that?”

Ruin raised his eyebrows with a rotten expression.

“If it’s Five Evils, then it’s Five Evils. What’s this Sixth Evil?”

“Graaah…! Those bastards…! Did they erase my existence! Well, even when I was around, we had erased the Seventh Evil’s existence!”

However, Ruin crossed his arms indifferently.

“To sum it up in one sentence, you’re an old-fashioned devil living by possessing this kid.”

“How dare you call me old-fashioned?! Five Evils… Catalun, Alnair… Where did they all go…?!”

When the names of the Five Evils came up, Ruin’s eyebrows shot up.

…Is he really an ancient devil?

Ruin thought this was perfect.

“So, as a devil who’s always attached to him, don’t you know? How did this child come to possess the Demon Emperor’s Heart and the Demon Tribe’s Treasure?”

“The Demon Emperor’s Heart? Damn it, this body should devour it… Gah!”

Ruin casually unbuttoned two buttons on his gloves. Then he reached out and brought his hand toward the child’s forehead.

The child in his demonic state recoiled in horror.

“You, what kind of power do you possess!”

“If you do anything unnecessary, you’ll be annihilated.”

“How can you have such blasphemous power…! You bastard, don’t tell me you’re an apostle of the Nameless God!”

At that, Ginseng Superior bristled with anger.

「Why are you making my child into someone else’s child! He’s my apostle!」

“Graaah. If you’re an apostle of the Nameless God, I have no choice but to kill you!”

At those words, rough power immediately burst forth from Ginseng Superior’s body.

In an instant, Ginseng Superior’s shadow cast on the wall grew larger and took human form. It appeared to be a long-haired god.

「If you try to eliminate my child, I’ll eliminate you first.」

At the Shadow God’s momentum as he tried to tear through the ginseng and emerge in his true form, Ruin sighed.

‘Sigh… It’s always the shrimp’s back that gets crushed in a whale fight.’

Ruin casually pressed his finger lightly against Ginseng Superior’s and Noah’s foreheads respectively.

However, that wasn’t a simple ‘touch.’ It was his fingertip imbued with misfortune.

“Both of you, just shut up.”

The two great beings whined that they had no strength left.

That wasn’t all.

「Waaah, my head! My head!」

Ginseng Superior rolled on the ground, clutching his head and screaming. His hair seemed to be slowly burning away, with ominous energy rising like smoke.

Meanwhile, Noah clutched his stomach and screamed. Then he retched and vomited.

“Gueek…! Hueoooook! What have you done, you evil bastard! My stomach! This body’s stomach!”

Ruin let out a short sigh.

He quietly took out a tissue from the display stand and neatly held it to Noah’s mouth, wiping away the vomit. However, another foul smell then rose up his arm.

“…Hah.”

Ruin took off his gloves and washed his hands. A small, red thread bracelet intricately tied around his wrist was revealed.

A weak blessing dwelt within it. It blocked some misfortune when washing or when alone.

Originally it belonged to his master, but Ruin received it when he became an adult. And at the very end, when dying, his master had put this thread bracelet back on him with blood-stained hands.

Ruin put his gloves back on.

‘I should leave before unnecessary emotions arise.’

He glared at the 1st year boy Noah, who was sprawled out clutching his stomach.

“So-”

His voice changed. That cold, low tone was the voice of a Special Grade Wanted Criminal from the Intelligence Agency.

“The things you ate and the items – who did you get them from? Did you obtain those through Word Spirit too?”

Then, from the boy’s faintly trembling lips, another being’s voice leaked out.

“Kueuk… Black Moon… the Black Moon Dormitory Supervisor…”

Ruin’s eyes flashed. That eerie current that even shook the air.

“…Black Moon Dormitory Supervisor?”

Could it be that the boxes had been at Black Moon?

And if that dormitory supervisor bastard had discovered them and kept them hidden for himself…

“Anyway, now that I know you’re on my side… I’ll help you. Better than the Union. So give me some medicine! Uweeek.”

Ruin ignored him and reconnected Frix to Second Prince Ryle. Ryle answered immediately. Ryle looked urgent.

[So the reason you didn’t mention that box story was…!]

“Ah. Never mind. Did the Blackmoon Dormitory Supervisor touch that box?”

[Huh? Uh, well that’s…]

Ryle said something unexpected.

[The Blackmoon Dormitory Supervisor has deep ties with the Emperor… no, has deep ties.]

“?”

Why is this kid suddenly using formal speech?

‘Speaking of which, the Emperor.’

At that single word, complex calculations began in Ruin’s mind.

The being who commands the world’s strongest military force and suppresses the entire Union with his power alone. A man who could make any political enemy disappear without a trace.

‘…That Emperor and the Blackmoon Dormitory Supervisor were in cahoots?’

Is it because of his bastard son?

Well, it would be scary if a Five Evils Grade devil was inside.

‘To me, he’s just an old-fashioned superior though.’

At the same time, Ruin realized something.

‘Ah. So that’s why the Squirrel Prince couldn’t touch him?’

Because he can’t fall out of the Emperor’s favor. Since he was apparently killed by the Emperor in the past, he must have trauma.

“So you were planning to give up on Black Moon’s Blessing Box?”

[Since it would end up in the Emperor’s hands anyway…]

It can’t go there!

That’s why Ruin was serious.

“Selling off my box, I’ll have to deal with this.”

Then Ryle visibly hesitated.

[Professor, it would be better if you didn’t get involved with that person… no, I’m scared.]

“Why?”

[Because that person is the one who got you, Ruins Wayne, expelled from the academy in the previous cycle.]

“!”

The previous cycle… does that mean the ‘real Ruins Wayne’?

[That child the professor took away…]

“Ah. Noah Winberg. He really didn’t say much.”

[Kuk.]

“Now. Since the teacher is angry, let’s hear about the acorn information.”

[…That child dies at the academy, and you get framed for it and expelled from the academy…]

Ah, so that’s how it happens.

At the same time, Ruin swept up his bangs as if tired.

‘…Ha. I was trying not to do anything good for the students.’

「Why would it be good for the students?」

‘The Blackmoon Dormitory Supervisor is the former Head Professor who was in charge of Demon Hunting Studies a year ago and got students killed.’

Ginseng Superior, whose head was burned, was startled.

「What?!」

* * *

At the rumor that Ruin had taken Noah away, the First Prince, Imperial Princess, and 2nd Prince were in an uproar.

First of all, the First Prince had sparks flying from his eyes.

“…Is this all we have on Professor Ruins’ whereabouts?”

The Staff Officer standing in the meeting room broke out in cold sweat and bowed his head.

“I’m, I’m sorry. Professor Ruins is particularly difficult to track… even when we find traces, by the time we follow the route, he’s already disappeared…”

At those words, a document file eventually flew through the air and crashed to the floor with a bang. The First Prince pressed his brow and muttered.

“We provided the money and brought him here… why am I getting more and more anxious?”

The Imperial Princess and 2nd Prince were equally anxious.

“…You took Noah?”

In the Princess’s room, the Head Chamberlain sat silently while transformed into Ruins.

“The calculations don’t add up… Professor should normally have no interest in that child.”

She had been practicing conversations by transforming the Head Chamberlain into Ruins. Perhaps because of this, the Knight Commander beside her asked cautiously.

“…So, how many times are you repeating this conversation simulation with Professor Ruins?”

“The 101st time…!”

“…What?! Earlier you clearly said the 100th simulation was the most satisfying-!”

“Oh, that? I scrapped the hand-holding scenario because it seemed too radical.”

“…When will the Head Chamberlain be able to return to his original face…?”

“Now let’s try the 102nd simulation. Ahem, ‘Could it be that you’re worried about me…?'”

The Head Chamberlain immediately answered coldly. It came out reflexively, just like a machine.

“Me? That’s impossible. An F grade wasn’t enough, I suppose.”

“Ahh! Ruins! It’s so realistic, he’d really say that to me!”

The Imperial Princess covered her face with both hands, trying to cool her reddened cheeks.

The Head Chamberlain watching her turned his head slightly and let out a sigh.

“Your Highness. This is already the 200th performance today. My facial muscles seem to be paralyzed. Now I truly can’t even remember my real face…”

“Then just become Ruins. Overwrite your soul with Ruins too!”

“…May I know what I did wrong?”

The Knight Commander also spoke up.

“…Do you have the courage to actually talk with Professor Ruins-”

“I do! But only after completing up to the 500th simulation!”

“…”

Meanwhile, the 2nd Prince sat alone in the windowless room with paper spread out before him.

-Noah → Ruin’s intervention → emotional attachment occurs → falls for Noah → box location, should I tell him?

Biting his lips, he repeatedly wrote simulations on the paper, erased them, and wrote again.

“Grgh!”

Ryle clutched his forehead. A Regressor being swayed by someone else – this was a first in his life. At the center of it all was Ruin.

And currently, Ruin was in chaos for a different reason. Because…

“I’ll ask you straight to the point.”

In the heavy atmosphere, the Hero spoke quietly with his fingers interlaced. His tone was polite, but his eyes were not warm at all.

“Professor Ruins.”

“Yes.”

He asked Ruin with very serious eyes.

“Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

At that atmosphere, Ruin raised one eyebrow very slowly. Then he quietly cursed to himself.

‘…Are you my wife or something? What do you mean, anything to say?’

Go die.

“…If you put it that way, I don’t know what I should say.”

He was sincere. So please, could you speak in normal language?

“I’m asking if you really have nothing to say to me.”

“…”

“Do you really not know what you did wrong?”

“I don’t know. I’m always honest and upright.”

That’s what he said, but honestly there were too many things to know which one it was.

Especially since he recently even secretly copied the Hero’s fingerprints to get a farm loan under his name… he had even less idea!
