Fake Saint Of The Year

It has been a week since Ellise disappeared from school.

He said he had been invited to an exchange meeting with kings of all countries, but it was too late to return.

The place should have been the Castle of the Virgin, but the distance between the school and the Castle of the Virgin should be as close as you can get by a carriage for three hours.

That should be it, this Alfrear Magic Knight Training Agency is an institution for training knights of the Virgin.

The Castle of the Virgin is where those who have done well in this school go to work.

Therefore, the school is located near the Virgin's Tower, just at the border.

That's why it was obviously strange not to come back for a week.

Have you stopped staying at school and returned to the castle?

It's not impossible.

It is unusual for the Virgin to attend school.

Then I can say I just went back to where I belonged.

But Bernel knows.Ellise did say 'I'll be back soon'.

Even if she had a reason to stay in the castle, would she have left without saying anything?

It's obviously crazy.

Sunset time after class.

Bernel was gathering and discussing his usual members.

Belnell, Eterna, John and Fiora, Marie and Aina, and a supplement that has been shaking with a blur since you haven't seen Ellise for a week.

They are in an unmanned classroom and ask why Ellise is not coming back.

"Were you attacked by a monster or a bandit...?

"Even so, Ellise-san will be able to fight back without any problems.

Leila is nearby... and if that happens, it's going to be a lot more noisy. "

Eterna talks about one of the possibilities, but John denies it.

If the Virgin went missing for that reason, there would be more fuss everywhere.

The country will issue a search warrant, move the soldiers, and look for them.

However, that is not the case now.It's so peaceful that I get angry.

At least the country is not making any noise about this.

Above all, it is creepy that after a week of the absence of the Virgin, the school side did nothing and did not tell the students anything.

There is also a noise among students as to why Ellise is gone.

Even so, I will not take any action.This was obviously abnormal.

"Sensei, the principal...."

"I only repeat 'no problem' like an idiot.The details have not been communicated to our teachers.

They've already told us that the Virgin is leaving school. "

"From the country?

"Oh, the Virgin went to a dinner with the kings and was told that the Virgin would not return from the land.

In other words, in this case, the kings of each country may be biting one piece. "

The country harms the Virgin... you must have laughed a little while ago that wouldn't have happened.

But not now.

In the battle against Diaz, I learned about the relationship between the Virgin and the Witch.

I know that the Castle of the Virgin is actually a prison for the Virgin... and I know that the ancestors of the Virgin Alexia were about to be killed by the Nation.

With that knowledge, the idea of 'no way' is overwhelming.

"The kings trapped Ellise....?

But why? I didn't kill the witch and become the next witch, so why lock up Ellise now?

"... I'd rather do that now...?

Fiora said strangely, but Marie seemed convinced.

Then speak quietly.

"Even if I don't defeat the witch... the world is peaceful now...

The witch... doesn't move in fear of the Virgin...

Perhaps it would be better... to leave it as it is... than to defeat it?

"Does that mean... if Ellise is going to be a witch, it's better to keep things as they are, so the kings are trapped?

"... maybe."

No one could dispute Marie's speculation.

As long as Ellise does become a witch, it seems much better to maintain the status quo.

There is no complete peace beyond witches.

But in the first place, the "Peace Without Witches" lasted only a few years.

In contrast, 'Peace with Ellise' lasts as long as she lives.

I can't think of a reason why I can't force myself to defeat a witch until I throw it away.

"...... Still, I don't think I'm right to ignore the person's feelings and lock them up.

Then I'm just using Ellise-sama. "

Perhaps Ellise should remain trapped in the castle.

Maybe that's the wrong thing to do.

I don't know which is right for Bernel.

But it seemed impossible for Bernel to leave it like this.

"Whatever you say here, it's just speculation.

Someone who seems to know the details... let's go and ask your father directly. "

That's how Eina stood up.

Viscount Fox, who took over as principal on behalf of Diaz, is her father.

Eina, my daughter, may be able to tell me what the principal knows.

Belnell thought so and decided to ride Eina's plan.

"Well, let's go ask.

It makes no sense to talk here forever.

We need to find out the truth. "

If this is what they think too much or are mistaken, that's fine.

That's the best.

But if the foreigners really want to deprive Ellise of his freedom and use it for their own sake....

At least fight yourself against the King.

Yes, Bernel made a secret decision.
