The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 414 Part 2 - The Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Frondier looked at Lady Achaea with a refreshing smile.

The lady froze for a moment at the sight, then thought.

‘What about the others…?’

The lady briefly turned her eyes to the noblewomen around her.

They were calm. Someone who had business with Lady Achaea had come to say hello. That was their reaction.

Frondier had arrived so naturally.

“……Yes, hello.”

The lady tried her best to compose herself and spoke.

Frondier was a person she had been suspicious of from the beginning, and this timing was no coincidence.

But if she confronted Frondier now, this place would be in chaos. Lady Achaea didn’t want that. She had come to reveal Carla’s true identity, not to ruin Machia.

Frondier wouldn’t want that either. Above all, she had no direct evidence to accuse Frondier of yet.

“We met in the staff room last time.”

“……Oh, yes. That’s right. I showed you an unsightly appearance then.”

The lady said it as if she was embarrassed.

Of course, it was an act, but it was also a warning.

The power that Frondier had used at that time. She had pretended not to know its identity to Lily and Arald, but Lady Achaea knew exactly what it was.

The power of a devil. Frondier had used it. In other words, Frondier was clearly a devil.

So he was originally involved with Carla, and they must have had a cooperative or hierarchical relationship.

‘…But that power, I have a dangerous feeling about it.’

The reason why Lady Achaea knew about the power of devils was simple. She had experienced it.

But Frondier’s was different. It wasn’t that it was a different kind, but rather that it was on a different level.

What the lady had suffered in the past, no matter how strong the power was, she never thought she would die.

But the power that Frondier had emitted was clearly thin and faint.

But she knew one thing for sure.

This power, if he used even a little more strength, would kill all ordinary people.

‘Frondier approached me among all these people. As much as I suspect Carla, Frondier also suspects me.’

Then how did he know?

The answer came quickly. Arald and Lily. So they were in cahoots with Frondier.

‘…It’s a good thing I prepared just in case.’

But no worries. The lady smiled triumphantly.

She rummaged through her bag and took out a small sticker-like object. It wasn’t a very secret item, and most people knew about it.

She discreetly stuck it on Frondier’s clothes.

[Frondier, are you a devil?]

It was a device that helped with telepathy.

Telepathy originally required quite difficult techniques magically. The sticker that the lady had attached assisted with that. By attaching the sticker, it accurately designated the target, so that much calculation could be omitted.

Of course, it was only possible if one understood telepathy, so it was useless to attach this sticker if one knew nothing about it.

Frondier looked at the lady for a moment.

As expected, she knew about the power of devils, and that’s why she thought of Frondier as a devil.

Frondier smiled at that.

[Yes.]

A short answer, and then the next words came right out.

[I’m a real devil.]

After confirming Carla’s identity, Frondier first met with Arald and Lily.

He was able to find them quickly because they were acting as Pielott’s parents.

After moving to a place where no one would see them, Frondier spoke.

“It’s a shame.”

“What is?”

“Carla. It’s a shame to leave her be.”

At those words, Lily’s eyes narrowed.

“Did you like her that much? Carla? As expected, she has the looks to easily charm men, right? That’s it, isn’t it?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“It’s not like that, men are all the same if they’re pretty,”

“It’s strange that Lily is the one questioning whether Carla’s beauty is enough to charm men or not.”

“……Ah, huh?”

Lily paused for a moment to understand what Frondier meant.

While she was racking her brain, Frondier continued.

“What I regret is her knowledge.”

“Are you saying that Carla has the knowledge that Master Frondier needs?”

Frondier nodded at Arald’s question.

Carla was almost certainly Medusa.

[T/N: In Greek mythology, Athena cursed Medusa for breaking her vow of celibacy. Medusa was a priestess of Athena who was seduced by Poseidon in Athena’s temple.]

It was a name that was unfamiliar and unknown in this world, but it was a name that was too famous and familiar in the previous world.

‘If Carla is really Medusa, she would know about Athena and Poseidon.’

Of course, this world didn’t follow all the myths of the previous world. But judging by Carla’s reaction, she was definitely connected to them.

Especially Poseidon, it was more important than anything else for Frondier, who had received a hidden quest from him, to know information about him.

It would be even better if he could find out his weaknesses.

‘The only problem is, no one but me knows this knowledge.’

Frondier briefly looked at Arald and Lily.

Carla had the knowledge that Frondier needed. There was no doubt about that, but it was impossible to convince these two of it. Unless he brought up the previous world.

So he needed to come up with a new reason why Carla needed to be an ally,

“Then we’ll have to make Carla our ally.”

Arald said there.

“……Ah, huh?”

“Isn’t that what you meant?”

“……Uh. That’s true, but.”

Arald was willing to follow Frondier’s will without even asking why. Frondier then looked at Lily.

“What, are you asking for help with the plan?”

Lily tilted her head. This one was off the mark too.

“……Both of you, you don’t ask. Why I need Carla.”

Lily said to that.

“Well, there must be a reason. If you didn’t fall for her, that is.”

Arald said.

“If we ask Master Frondier every time he saves or helps someone, there will be no end to it.”

“……Right.”

Frondier was a little embarrassed by Arald’s words and replied.

His words were simple, but there must be many more feelings in the two of them than what he had just said. Not asking, that was one of the many ways of trust.

“But what are you going to do? If we actively try to help her, she’ll get suspicious.”

“Ah, that’s fine.”

Frondier replied to Arald’s words.

“Lady Achaea already suspects that I’m the mastermind behind Carla.”

Then he might as well live up to her suspicions.
