Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 9 Menosorphs (4)

Next day.

I sat in my room and pondered deeply.

‘Menosorphos, where are you testing?’

Last time, I tested it in the vacant lot of the mansion. Because I thought it was a not-so-great magic circle.

However, the story is different unless you know that this is an ancient magic circle. Whether it’s dangerous or not, you never know what’s going to happen.

‘I’m glad it didn’t trigger.’

This time, I learned how to properly activate it. That I should say ‘Menosorph’.

But this time, the problem is that we do not know the effect of the magic circle.

If it’s a needlessly noisy and colorful magic circle, you can’t hide it if you do it in a mansion vacant lot.

But doing it in Constell doesn’t make any sense anymore.

There is a personal training room, but the same is the case with anxiety.

‘Even if there was an explosion, no, there would be no way.’

So after deep thought,

Realized.

I realized that it wasn’t something I could do on my own.

“… … After all, I really don’t want to do this.”

I took a stance.

You have to go through a very difficult process from now on.

It’s painful, like cutting bones and flesh, but all of this will take me one step further.

I took a deep breath.

and.

“──Anyone out there?”

shouted for a visit.

It seems to have hairs all over his body.

After a while, I hear calm but rapid footsteps.

quiver-

As soon as the door opened smoothly, an elderly man bowed his head towards me.

“Butler Vikar. Here it is.”

… … Wow, I am now.

Did you call someone older than my father in the original world halfway?

It feels like committing a sin. I was just trying to call a passing maid.

“Yeah, yeah, yo. Bika… … Seed.”

“… … Frontier?”

No.

The name doesn’t come out of your mouth.

‘Nope. wait.’

The butler must be a considerable position within the mansion. Even the sons of nobles would use honorific titles with respect to the butlers.

The problem is that I don’t know what Frontier was originally like.

‘But that’s how it happened!’

I just decided to run.

“Mr. Vicar. Lately, I have had a lot of things in my head.”

I swallowed while speaking.

I’m afraid my honor will sound strange to Vikar.

“… … Yes, you are.”

Vicar responded to my words plainly.

But it’s so bland, I don’t know if I think it’s strange or not.

Truly a prestigious Roach. Even the butler is high-class… … !

“I want to rest without being disturbed by anyone. Is there a suitable place?”

In order to use Menosorphos, there must be no one around anyway. Even if there was an explosion, even a passing wild animal would know.

A secluded place where no one is looking.

… … Is there?

“Hmm, how about the hut you used to go to often?”

“hut?”

“Yes. It’s our family outhouse. When I was young, I used to play there often. Elodie de Richie and… … , Excuse me. Now it is Elodie de Inies Lischae, you.”

Frontier with Elodie? You two were really close.

… … but it’s difficult

don’t know the way

“If you want to go, I will bring a car. The driver knows the address.”

Nice Vicar! Nice driver!

High class too!

“Good. Then right now.”

“… … Right, are you talking?”

“Yes.”

But, as to what I was thinking, Vikar stroked his beard for a moment.

And then he said.

“But, Frontier-sama. You have changed a lot.”

pounding.

“… … is that so?”

I pretended to be calm and asked, but my heart felt like it was going to explode.

Also, was my tone of voice strange? Or was it just a weird answer to just go right away?

“Because normally, you would have slept soundly in your room when something like that happened. The distance to the hut is quite money… … . To be honest, I thought you would be bothered.”

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Ah, that’s it.

So the word ‘right’ was strange.

“Now it’s too much of a hassle to sleep.”

“Heh heh, that’s Frontier-sama. Then I will pass it on to the driver first.”

“Let me do that.”

After that, Vikar said politely and left the room with a smooth motion as if he had come.

I then breathed a sigh of relief.

‘… … It’s a hut.’

It was the place I chose to test the Menosorphs.

The place where the old Frontier and Elodie used to be.

I got very little interest.

* * *

Frontier gets in the car and heads to the cabin.

a little later.

“No?”

Cybel stood in front of the Roach mansion with a confused face.

“Yes, you left a while ago.”

The gatekeeper guarding the front of the mansion answered.

Cybel shrugged her tired shoulders.

‘At times like this… … .’

Cybel felt a growing sense of anxiety in her body.

Yesterday, I heard an ominous sound from Serp.

-As for our next ‘target’, this is Frontier de Roach.

I don’t think he’ll attack Frontier as soon as he says that.

But I thought I should let Frontier know in advance.

At first, I took out my Sage phone, but I changed my mind. Texting and phone calls are dangerous.

‘Serf deliberately told me that Frontier was the target. why?’

There is only one reason I can think of.

Serp wants to be known. To inform Constell and the whole area that Frontier became a target of ‘Indus’.

Frontier’s reputation has improved a bit recently, but that’s just a pointless comparison.

A few plus points from Constell’s worst reputation doesn’t make it out of the worst.

Fake Mystyltaine, Dungeon, Golem.

All of the events in which Frontier was involved were either unfamiliar or unfamiliar to the general public.

Rather, the actions looked like ‘travelling’, and some reputations were further damaged.

‘So you’re a target? Is ‘Indus’ aiming at the ‘incompetent noble’ frontier?’

But behind Frontier, there is a huge family called Roah.

Is Indus an organization that can touch Roach? Or do you have a guarantee that even if you touch it, it will be safe?

‘… … It is an organization that seeks to increase the power of commoners.’

Indus wants to further increase the influence of the commoners. In order to do that, you will have to make public opinion on your side.

If that’s the case, I’m not going to attack Frontier all the time. So it’s just a criminal group.

If designating as a ‘target’ does not simply mean attacking, Cybel cannot recklessly disclose what he has heard to other places.

What if Cybel’s phone calls or texts to Frontier were leaked and known to Constell?

Indus will add several fleshes to the leak and inflate it significantly.

Indus operates under the title of ‘for the common people’, so the general public’s awareness is very good.

Perhaps if Frontier becomes a ‘target’, that is, if the Indus begins to cry out that Frontier is a troubled noble.

Citizens will perceive Frontier as a ‘bad man’ that can be targeted by the Indus.

That’s why I came directly to the mansion.

“So, where did you go?”

“I can’t tell you.”

“I am a friend of Frontier. Still can’t?”

“Because Frontier-sama wants to rest without being disturbed by anyone.”

The gatekeeper’s words were courteous and kind, but they didn’t seem likely to tell them anything.

Cybel bit her finger.

… … It was at this moment that she knew for the first time that she had a habit of biting her fingers when impatient. Because I’ve never been in a hurry in my life.

Cybel cannot rely on luck in this situation.

Her fate manipulation is extremely personal and selfish. It only makes her situation better, and she has no interest in other people.

So far it has been Just as fate doesn’t care about others, so did Cybel.

but now.

Cybel, who bites her fingers and rolls her head with delicate eyes, is different from the girl of the past.

‘… … think.’

She had just met Frontier. Because of this, not much information is known.

It’s impossible to know where Frontier might have gone now. Is there one or two places where you can rest without being disturbed by anyone?

… … Yes.

Cybel doesn’t know.

Then someone who knows-

‘… … Elodie.’

I don’t know if Elodie and Frontier are friends.

But the Roach and Lischae families. The rivalry between the two families is well known. They even know that they meet regularly to check their acquaintance. It seemed like a show off to other families, though.

If so, Frondier and Elodie, the sons of that family, must have had their own exchanges.

‘But there is no guarantee that Elodie will know where the Frontier has gone now.’

The odds will be slim.

I’ve never played such a beggar gamble before.

“… … great.”

Cybel made up her mind and turned her back.

Head to Lisha’s mansion. For gambling with low odds.

──But, is it really a child loved by fate?

That choice was definitely the right one.

* * *

The car stopped.

The sun had already set and night was near.

“Im here.”

At the knight’s words, I got off without a word.

To the left of the car, there was a long trail. If I keep walking down this road, will I come to a hut?

… … Let’s hope so.

bum bum.

The small trail that crosses the dense forest is clearly marked by faint traces of people.

It must have been quite a while since I was on this road. It was probably a path only used by the Roach and Lishae families.

Fortunately, there was no problem for me to walk alone, and the road was smooth.

but,

Whoa!

Occasionally I hear crows in the forest, only to make noise.

After walking for a while, luckily, I could see a hut in the distance.

I grabbed the hut doorknob.

The doorknob and my hand glowed blue, and the doorknob that had been blocked turned gently.

‘Is it a password?’

It seemed that the doorknob was a code that recognized the owner.

Upon entering, I let out a silent sigh.

The inside of the hut just smelled of wood.

I turned on the light and saw the inside.

Wooden bookshelves and tables occupied the walls, and a fireplace was embedded inside.

Is this the villa of the Roach family?

I swept the wall for a moment.

‘… … Frontier and Elodie from their childhood here.’

For a moment, I was immersed in emotion and walked around.

A place that can never be reached by gameplay.

The feeling of looking outside the boundaries of the game I loved was something new.

“… … Well?”

I felt uncomfortable in my feet while walking.

Something caught my foot as I was stepping on the carpet.

I walked on the carpet that lay on the floor.

There was a door on the carpeted floor, and a handle to open it.

“… … cellar?”

* * *

The Indus is such a vast group that individuals do not know the size of the whole.

Serp also does not know the specific size. Even who the head of the Indus is. Serp just does his job.

“Frondier left the mansion?”

“Certainly.”

Serp received a report from a crow from his abode.

Literally, the crow sitting by the window was talking intently to Serf.

This afternoon, Frontier left the mansion. With only one driver.

The car traveled a considerable distance to reach a secluded forest, and after Frontier disembarked, the car returned to the mansion.

“Isn’t the follow-up noticed?”

“My magic, you know?”

said the crow.

The true identity of the crow is Gregory, a member of the Indus.

His long term is timing.

It is possible to tame an animal and see with its eyes instead. The magical power used at that time is very small, so it is erased by the animal’s natural magic. No matter how good a person is, they will never notice it.

You can also designate an animal and use its mouth to convey your own words as you do now.

It is the best technique for spying.

“There are many crows in that forest. You will never notice.”

“Hmm. Frontier is alone now.”

Serp wiped his face with his hand. A smile peeks through those fingers.

At first, he was only trying to scare Cybel.

After exploring the dungeon, he knew that the two had become friends.

Cybel Forte is friendly to everyone. It must have been the same for the human sloth Frontier.

However, that friendship is only a formality.

Serp thought that if he spoke properly, Cybel would text or call Frontier. Even if that’s enough, she’s done her duty.

“Any contact from Cybel to Frontier?”

“no. In the first place, since yesterday, Cybel has not had a call with anyone.”

“Hmm.”

So Cybel didn’t even think of contacting Frontier at all.

Completely ignoring the warning I gave you?

Or in order to protect Frontier by noticing that he was deliberately giving out information… … No, I’m not going to do that.

‘Did you consider it a luxury to contact ‘human sloths’ separately?’

what’s good

Then you have your own way.

Serp laughed.

The original plan was to start later.

Frontier has no choice but to take advantage of this situation where he is alone.

Serp made a decision.

“The schedule has changed. I need to bury Frontier.”
