Chapter 69. Urgent Butterfly (2)

 

Ruin hurried toward the Healing Arts classroom. Because that was the only way to get the Princess out of Haven.

 

What do you mean?

 

‘Getting out a spy who’s already been caught isn’t an easy task.’

 

He had told her the escape route before, but that escape path was already unusable. Because the Hero had increased security and blocked all the escape routes.

 

‘I don’t know why the Hero’s Luck Power had to activate at this time.’

 

That damn bastard. Suddenly, like whimsically saying ‘I’d like French cuisine for dinner tonight,’ he arbitrarily increased security.

 

‘Why on earth.’

 

Then Ginseng Superior provided the answer.

 

「The Hero wants to catch you, doesn’t he?」

 

So what.

 

「From the moment the order to save the Princess was given, the Princess became connected to you, right?」

 

So what about it.

 

「If he keeps the Princess captive, from the Hero’s perspective, he can meet you, can’t he? That’s why his Luck Power activated in the direction of strengthening security so she can’t escape.」

 

Ah, if you interpret it that way, it makes sense. At this point, isn’t he a stalker?

 

「Well, you’re the only weapon that can counter the Hero and the Demon Emperor’s joker.」

 

What are you saying.

 

「The Princess too. Honestly, I think the Princess surviving even in front of the Hero is all thanks to you.」

 

Well, if Misfortune was working, that would be correct.

 

‘So I need to quickly get the Princess out.’

 

The Hero has no mercy for the Demon Race. She’s just in standby because she can’t speak, but if she could, tremendous torture would be waiting.

 

Of course, even now the surveillance was intense. The best method was to bring the Princess as class material and secretly get her out.

 

The problem was how to bring her as class material.

 

‘Well, I could normally ask to use her as material for Demon Hunting Studies class.’

 

「…Are you planning to use her as a punching bag?」

 

…Right. That’s correct. No matter what, if I said to use her as Demon Hunting Studies material, the Five Evils, her parents, would probably get angry.

 

‘More than that, I can’t dare use the Princess as a punching bag.’

 

Ruin was serious.

 

So the safest option was Healing Arts.

 

‘With Healing Arts, I can conduct anatomy lectures. I can use her as anatomy material.’

 

「….」

 

…Dissection …what? Anatomy?

 

「You crazy bastard, a punching bag would be better!」

 

‘No. Lying quietly on a bed is better than getting beaten up as a punching bag, isn’t it.’

 

Ginseng Superior exclaimed as if dumbfounded.

 

「The bed side means she’s already a corpse!」

 

* * *

 

Ginseng Superior was incredulous. To think of using the Princess as anatomy material.

 

「I knew you were the Ice Eyes Madman, but oh my. I taught my seed wrong.」

 

When did you ever teach me anything.

 

「Pretty, pretty, raised you up, and you don’t know the grace of your master god.」

 

Didn’t you just use me?

 

「Even when you always offered tributes that weren’t my taste, huh? How much have I given you.」

 

So what is that taste anyway.

 

「Pretty things! Expensive things! Shiny things!」

 

…Just go play with the Hero.

 

Ruin sighed. Actually, though he spouted strange words, there was another reason for choosing the anatomy laboratory.

 

‘If I said to use her as Demon Hunting Studies material, the Hero would come and say ‘The Demon Race is my specialty, so I’ll help,’ spouting that nonsense and really demonstrate.’

 

As a bonus, he’d probably say ‘Ah, I accidentally killed her,’ and laugh that ahahaha fake laugh.

 

But Healing Arts isn’t the Hero’s specialty, so the Princess would be safe.

 

「What about anatomy? What if the Hero makes her into a corpse beforehand for dissection?」

 

‘Then that would be the Princess’s fate, I suppose.’

 

「….」

 

So for now, he decided to prepare the necessary documents and open a new class.

 

However.

 

‘This is troublesome.’

 

“Are you really planning to use this specimen?”

 

[Are you really planning to send me away?]

 

“This demon is truly dangerous. Even now, I should take charge of disposing—”

 

[Please make me belong to Professor now! I’ve even decided on a room number! Room 302! It’s right next to Professor’s room! So I’ll swear! I’ll become a loyal demon who only follows Professor! I can even fast from meat!]

 

This is really troublesome.

 

Ruin, who had visited the detention center, pressed his brow. On the left was a Hero who couldn’t feel emotions, on the right was a demon Princess who moved purely on emotion—

 

In other words, to put it simply…

 

‘The two of them are causing a ruckus.’

 

Caught between the two, Ruin looked up at the ceiling.

 

“No. It’s fine, so please let me handle the disposal.”

 

“But—”

 

The Hero looked at Ruin as if finding it strange.

 

“I highly regard Professor Ruins’ passion, but I don’t quite understand why you must open dissection classes at this particular time.”

 

Of course, the Hero wouldn’t know Ruin’s purpose. But he couldn’t let his guard down against the Hero’s characteristic intuition.

 

Ruin answered calmly.

 

“If students want to avoid death, they must first know what kills them. Knowing where devils attack from and which parts are vulnerable is the most basic of basics. We can’t hope for them to survive the battlefield through luck alone.”

 

“But among all of them, you specifically want to take this prisoner.”

 

The Hero with sun-like eyes looked at him suspiciously.

 

“You’re not planning to smuggle her out, are you?”

 

A moment of silence.

 

This moment of silence could have put Ruin in danger. However, Ruin skillfully used that crisis to his advantage.

 

“You caught me.”

 

“Excuse me?”

 

“If you’re from the Union, isn’t it natural to be interested in Fire Butterfly’s subordinate?”

 

“Excuse me?”

 

Clumsy excuses don’t work on the Hero.

 

‘Then I have no choice but to make a decisive move in a way that even he’ll understand.’

 

Soon, Ruin’s eyes flashed as he activated his decisive move.

 

“She’s Fire Butterfly’s subordinate, no less. Where else can you find a more precious experimental subject? Her vocal cords can’t be healed anyway. Why does only the Chairman get to monopolize Fire Butterfly so stingily?”

 

“!”

 

「Your decisive move is… whining…?」

 

‘Of course. With Hero-type personalities, playing mind games actually backfires.’

 

Special Admission Student Owen had failed at the treatment. That was only natural.

 

‘Since I blocked it with Misfortune.’

 

Instead, I copied Owen’s ability.

 

Actually, that’s why I deliberately called him.

 

‘Since I do need to heal her body and vocal cords.’

 

Therefore, Ruin shamelessly continued speaking.

 

“If you’re planning to kill her anyway, can’t I use her as a clinical subject to fill my thesis? My thesis submission deadline isn’t far off. I’ll only examine the specimen’s body.”

 

[Kyaaaah! You’re going to look at my body!]

 

Don’t get a nosebleed! What are you imagining?!

 

Ruin rubbed his brow and sent a telepathy to the Princess.

 

[More importantly, Princess. Don’t headbutt. It’ll increase what I need to heal.]

 

[Hnngh, then please tell me Fire Butterfly’s real name!]

 

[I can’t. I’ve never revealed my real name with my own mouth.]

 

[Then I won’t headbutt!]

 

[It’s Ruin.]

 

[Kyaaaaaaah! Even your name is sexy! That name you told only me, Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin! Ruin!]

 

Bang! Bang bang bang bang!

 

…Princess. Switching to body slams doesn’t reduce the damage!

 

The Teaching Assistants broke out in sweat watching the Princess covered in blood and causing chaos.

 

“Why does that prisoner act like that whenever she sees Professor Wayne?”

 

“Why else. Professor Wayne fed her a special torture drug… When he gives a signal, she suffers like crazy.”

 

“What? Even the Herbology Professor’s medicine didn’t work on her?!”

 

Well, she’s Hunger’s daughter. She has the advantage of not getting sick no matter what she eats. In other words, she’d be good for poison testing…

 

“Should we tell the Herbology Professor about this?”

 

“If it’s Professor Gransia, she might find it interesting enough to come out of her cave…”

 

No. Please don’t call my former target (lover)?!

 

But Ruin wasn’t one to not utilize this.

 

“As you can see, even the Herbology Professor failed, but the torture drug I developed works on that prisoner. Honestly, I don’t think there’s any scholar who wouldn’t be tempted by a thesis in this situation. If we do well, we might even be able to create a torture drug specifically for Fire Butterfly.”

 

It seems to have worked.

 

“I’m also confident in dissection.”

 

At the Hero’s words, Ruin’s expression hardened as if telling him to cut the crap.

 

“Dissection is a technique. What you do is just slicing meat.”

 

The Hero, looking hurt, spoke as if convinced.

 

“Then I’ll kill her cleanly right now-”

 

Clang! Thwack!

 

Ruin blocked the hilt of the Hero’s drawing sword with his palm.

 

As expected, this bastard can’t be let down one’s guard. But if he stopped the confirmation kill, it would only look suspicious. So Ruin brought out his prepared answer.

 

“Haven’t you already tried cutting that Demon Race’s body? Everyone failed.”

 

She’s the Princess of Pride, no less. She’d be fine even if stabbed with a knife. If necessary, she could even be used as a Princess Shield.

 

But the Hero smiled fiercely.

 

“I can do it. If I use Execution Technique, I can chop off her neck easily…”

 

Stop the bullshit!

 

“Doesn’t that power require a ‘price’?”

 

The Hero raised his eyebrows in surprise. His eyes seemed to ask how he knew that.

 

Ruin deliberately looked at the Teaching Assistants as he spoke.

 

“I won’t speak of it here.”

 

“…”

 

“As a professor of Haven, I have a duty to protect the safety of Haven’s Commander.”

 

The Hero’s eyes narrowed. It was a look of deep contemplation.

 

But only for a moment, the Hero sheathed his sword for some reason. Then he smiled slightly as if trusting Ruin.

 

“You wouldn’t use that prisoner for any ‘other purpose’ besides classes and research, would you?”

 

Ruin answered with a smile.

 

“Other purpose?”

 

“Well, fine. I’ll permit the opening of the anatomy class. I’ll observe as well. Your classes are always interesting, Professor.”

 

Ruin answered with a smile, but inwardly he didn’t let his guard down. The Hero’s last words were both a warning and suspicion.

 

When the Hero left the Isolation Room, the Hero’s Attendant approached and whispered.

 

“Is it alright to leave everything to Professor Wayne? If he’s in cahoots with Pride…”

 

“If that were the case, my Luck Power would have already activated and killed Professor Ruins.”

 

Then the attendant hesitated to speak, then changed his mind.

 

“…What if, just what if. What if Professor Ruins is Fire Butterfly’s minion, and Master’s Luck Power is following that direction?”

 

“Wouldn’t that be rather good?”

 

Excuse me?

 

“It means we could find Fire Butterfly. It would actually be good if Professor Ruins had connections, wouldn’t it?”

 

…Excuse me?

 

“To kill the Demon Emperor, Fire Butterfly comes first.”

 

The Hero’s eyes were murderous.

 

Meanwhile, Ginseng Superior in the Isolation Room asked as if wondering if things were okay.

 

「Hey hey, smuggling her out is no problem, but how are you going to handle the deception? Shadow Clone has its limits.」

 

Just watch.

 

So Ruin approached the Princess.

 

[Princess, there may be some physical contact from now on. Don’t be frightened. It’s a necessary measure.]

 

[Kyaaaah! It’s my first time so please be gentle!]

 

Bang! Bang bang bang cuckoo bang!

 

…Let’s not heal her vocal cords after all.
