Please Do Not Abandon the Adopted Heroine

113 – The Lovers’ Mistake

My honest feeling is that I feel dizzy.

I can’t even guess where the error came from. I looked at the situation from afar as if I had been hit on the head with a hammer, but I couldn’t even make sense of it.

Moonlight Chaser is a fictitious blood relative I made up as an excuse during the Eunwol Festival. There are only a handful of people who know its identity. But how could that very fictional character appear before me wearing the same mask?

“… Oh my. Are you going to deal with me? “Are you serious?”

“of course. Let me formally introduce you. My name is Fedonandez. Freya’s faithful servant. In order to bring honor to Freya’s name, I won’t tell jokes like this. I don’t even feel like it. Yes, the Freya Lovers will reveal all of your evil deeds.”

“… It’s an evil deed. “I haven’t done anything particularly evil.”

The fake said with a grin. The fact that even their voices are similar is probably not just due to their mood. Undine, who had been watching me the longest, was startled and looked back and forth between me and the fake as if confused.

Is it a play? Is this a production prepared by students? I seriously considered the possibility, but if that were the case, the chairman would have made a comment this morning to prevent confusion.

Fedonandes glanced back at Cerberus and asked.

“… Cerberus. “Has the leader arrived yet?”

“uh. “I’m still communicating with the dispenser, and he said he has some urgent business.”

“hmm? If it’s an urgent matter that a competent leader can’t handle… ? no way… Moonlight Chaser! Have you already tried to trick the leader?!”

“… … Hmm.”

“Tsk! How can you be so suspicious! As for the leader, the pride of the fan club! A symbol of the fan club! The embodiment of faith whose love for Freya reaches its peak! To put the leader of the Freya Lovers in a corner! Are you saying that you are not someone to look down on? “I didn’t expect a situation like this to happen so suddenly, but it can’t be helped.”

“… “Are you going to attack me?”

“of course. “My signature Phantasm will not end up just a little stinging, so be prepared.”

Fedonandez’s remarks drew cheers from the surrounding onlookers.

Among the crowd was Freya, who was holding Lin and Ran’s hands and watching them with a disgusted expression.

Her beauty shined clearly even among the crowd.

There was no reason for the members who dreamed of Freya 365 days a year to miss her.

The moment the members, including Fedonandez, caught sight of Freya, they lost their senses and looked away.

That moment leads to a fatal mistake.

No one could think to avoid the fake attack that came at them in an instant. The laughter I gave at the sight of the three people leaving in an instant was fake.

“… This is absurd. Did you come out to do a play that didn’t work?”

“Cough! Cough! What kind of disgrace is this in front of Freya? .! Fedonandes, Cerberus. Are you okay?”

“damn… What is this, losing face? “It’s embarrassing, so shut up.”

“ha… Freya… To be seen helpless in front of Freya… This is so exciting that I can’t stand it like this. Isn’t this an opportunity to appeal to my helplessness and masochism? “It’s something you can’t experience even if you give a thousand dollars.”

“Pedonandez. That’s fine, but hurry up and put on your tattered clothes first.”

“ha ha ha! Don’t worry, there is a mask. As long as the mask is on my face, I am a pedonandez. We cannot lose our essence as Freya’s servant. “It’s okay if a little bit falls off, protein.”

“… Hey you crazy people. Please feel embarrassed in front of Freya. Those b*stards wearing fan club officer name tags. Especially you, Pedonandes! “You can’t even wear underwear, so get dressed quickly!”

“Hmm… Are you saying that in that short period of time, damage was done not only to the top but also to the bottoms…? also… Wasn’t he someone to look down on? There are some difficult parts to this. “My private parts exist only for Freya.”

Do you have integrity or are you just a pervert?

“… Is this really the end? This is outrageous after even provoking me. Or at least give me time to cast a spell.”

“You are full of confidence. It would have been the right decision to finish us off when the surprise attack was successful. It’s not too late to let go of regrets… Since you have given me this opportunity, I will especially show off my signature Phantasm.”

Fedonandez naturally began to unleash his magic.

“『An impure fire that has not been revealed for eons. The one fire demon beyond the twilight is the noble of the sun. The only fire dragon that ever existed will follow in the footsteps of the foolish dwarves and be scattered here and now.』

Imperially recognized 6th class archmage.

The greatest talent the empire boasts.

His magic is characterized by precision as if measured with a ruler.

The essential and auxiliary staff that sprouted from the fingertips were built at a speed as if they were machine-processed.

According to Fernandez’s casting, the direction of the surrounding flames suddenly bent and began to converge to one point. The flames slowly took shape and soon flew in the form of a huge dragon as if it would engulf Moonlight Chaser at any moment.

“… … Hmm.”

The ‘fake’ touch was simple.

He stretched out his index finger and tapped it. It falls.

The fire dragon is made of flame.

The larger the fire used as a material, the greater its power.

The only element that holds the form is magical power.

If the flame is disturbed, the magical energy that maintains the fire dragon collapses, and the fire dragon also falls apart.

And, fake knew the characteristics of the fire dragon better than anyone else.

“… … That’s pretty good for a human. “It would be a shame to let my talent go to waste at that age.”

“… … … … What on earth is this… !”

They probably didn’t think that the attack would be blocked so easily.

Although he often shows a slightly lacking side, he is clearly a genius.

I also dodged his Fire Dragon, but I couldn’t focus on blocking it. A mage like Undine, who has an elemental advantage, or Ignis, who is particularly good at defensive magic, would be able to achieve parity.

When he appeared amidst the black smoke with clear footsteps, Fedonandez froze, apparently so shocked that he even forgot that he was wearing a mask.

The fake guy smiled slightly and this time suddenly pulled out his sword.

I thought the tip of the sword was pointing towards Fedonandes, but I suddenly saw it pointing towards me in a thin curve. A gust of wind blows along with a cynical laugh.

… … You suddenly see me here?

“Are you next?”

“Master! Avoid… … … !”

I wasn’t so thoughtless as to bring a pata to a place like this. She quickly stretched out her hand, but only a flimsy sensation remained.

Sword blades, almost like afterimages, rush in.

In that brief moment, water droplets fluttered before my eyes.

This is Undine’s magic.

Even though no words were exchanged, the unique waves were familiar.

The water droplets gather together and begin to grow longer, forming the shape of a sword and then freezing.

Without even a second thought, I grabbed my grip and blocked the sword.

What the heck… !

Swipe the blade diagonally to find the strength point and apply the binding. The opponent also responds without twisting the trajectory. I clicked my tongue briefly. A piece of ice bounces and touches my cheek. I gritted my teeth and asked the fake.

“Tsk… crazy. “What are you doing?”

“… You still don’t know? “It’s extremely dull.”

The fake laughed and whispered quietly, almost out of breath, as if to prove that what he had just seen was fake. The voice is different from before. It would not be an illusion to feel as if it had been tampered with by magic.

“I’m even doing this play on your behalf. “If you know, please be grateful.”

“… … for a moment… ? Could that voice be Manwol? ?”

“Fuhuhuhu. Tsk tsk… It’s been a while~ Is this the first time since the last time you came to the Magic Tower with the DCs siblings and asked me a favor?”

This is when I went to her to borrow the power of Manwol’s signature, the white night.

“Why are you here? Who sent it? crescent?”

“If we really need to find the culprit, Manwol… So it’s me. I came because I wanted to come. “Why not?”

“Answer me. “What’s going on?”

“Wow, do you think that makes you more curious? “You don’t care why you’re here like this?”

“Shut up and answer.”

“Ahaha! “It’s chilly~”

She whispered, twirling her fingers.

“So, does this mean that you won’t mind if I make an expose in a loud voice here and now?”

“… … expose?”

“The fact that Eugene Seo Neferna here is a professor at the Academy, the head of a strange organization that chases after women, and a blood relative who threw the Academy into chaos, is also the Moonlight Chaser himself, who is currently very popular.”

“Damn. “Who would believe something like that?”

“pooh… Phew… “I don’t see any denial.”

“I don’t know how you knew, but I am an excellent and respected teacher at this school. “Who would believe that Moonlight Chaser’s true identity is me?”

“Ahaha! “I just finished recording those words~ Now I can’t even beat it if I leave it out~”

This b*stard… .

“… … “What do you want?”

“Thank you very much. “I wanted to hear that.”

Manwol said, suppressing laughter. It’s painful for me to have no choice but to watch in silence.

“Eugene! what’s the matter? “Where are you hurt?”

“Oh, no! Freya. are you okay! don’t mind!”

I quickly looked at Cecilia and Undine.

They nodded as if they understood me roughly and turned to Freya. I said as if I was gently throwing it to Manwol.

“Anything is fine, so I want to get out of here.”

“okay? why? “Isn’t it nice to get attention?”

“If it were you, would you want to stay like this?”

“That’s also true. Wouldn’t it be torture to see something like this childish delusion on your own? If it were me, I would have just kicked the blankets for three months, then bit my tongue and died! … Hahaha! … Well then, just watch closely from there.”

Watch closely… There was a moment when I too felt like I missed the subtle tone of Manwol.

I hurriedly tried to block it, but her actions were a little faster than that, as she flapped her cloak and swung her sword.

Manwol suddenly disappeared into the crowd with graceful movements.

I gritted my teeth and jumped in there.

It goes without saying that the purpose of the full moon is.

Sure enough, the full moon suddenly popped out of thin air, and in its arms was Freyja, frozen with a look of confusion on her face.

Manwol, Moonlight Chaser, covered her mouth and flew into the sky.

“Heh… … It’s not that big of a deal considering they even used newspaper advertisements to provoke me. Then, as promised, I, the Moonlight Chaser, will take Freya.”

In the silence, no one spoke.

In the unique atmosphere of a moonlit night and a full moon, or rather, an atmosphere that must have been created by the full moon through magic, people probably got drunk without even knowing it.

The first words someone said were:

“Kyaa! “It’s romantic!”

“What should I do~ I’m jealous of Professor Freya!”

Of course, the Freya Lovers ended up hitting the seizure button one after another.

“Tsk… ! Stand there!!! Gaaamhi! Dear Freya! They seem like vicious blood relatives! Are you cowardly planning to run away!”

“Protein! Come to your senses! Freya is in danger! … Cerberus! “You have to stop that!”

“okay! “I saw it too!”

Cerberus ran away at incredible speed.

Not only I, but also Anastasia, who was highly skilled in martial arts, was stunned by the leap, which was strong enough to make a dent in the floor.

… Was it that fast? When I thought about it, not only was there no way for her to see her fighting in the first place, but there was no reason for her to see it in the first place. She wanted to do that because she knew the identity of Pedan Desya.

“You’re slow.”

“… … What… ! “You b*stard!”

However, it was true that it was not enough to suppress Manwol, the head of the Magic Tower and one of the phases of the moon, with simple force.

Manwol, who was toying with Cerberus and took a light step back, shrugged her shoulders with a silent laugh.

“It’s too easy, so let’s play a game. … … Hmm, this would be good. Yes, tonight, if you don’t find me by midnight, I will get Freya drunk.”

“Merciless?! How cruel! What kind of safety is it that you are making fun of your mouth now? !”

“Take that tongue right now…” … ! If you don’t fall from Freya’s body, your life cannot be guaranteed!”

“Shit! You, don’t fucking move from there! “I’m going to rip off your skin and throw you away in front of the front door!”

Either way, Manwol glanced at the audience with a subdued expression, then smiled and spoke.

“… … Now, who will be the prince?”
