The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 416 Part 1 - The Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Machia (5)

[…….]

[The reason I came here personally is that you have crossed the line.]

[Are you insane? I have connections not only to the nobles but also to the royal family of this country, even to King Palma himself. If you do anything reckless to me, something you won’t be able to handle will happen.]

[Is that so? Then let me tell you something as well.]

Frondier made a slightly more subdued sound. In his head, he was thinking something like, ‘So the king’s name here is Palma.’

[If you do anything reckless to Carla, something truly unimaginable will happen.]

[……!]

[You see, I want to create a society where humans and devils can coexist peacefully. But for that to happen, several prerequisites are needed. Devils like humans, but humans hate devils. So, wouldn’t it be necessary for them to be prepared so that they won’t be hated even if they enter human society?]

Even as he spoke, Frondier thought it was such a load of crap.

Humans and devils cannot coexist. Even if it were possible, it doesn’t mean it’s okay for them to be mixed together in one social organization.

Just as you wouldn’t put a dog and a monkey in the same cage, there are clearly areas where they can never understand each other.

Of course, he was saying this knowing it was bullshit. To appear more like a devil.

[Preparation, what kind of preparation…….]

Then, Madam Achaea’s expression changed.

[Don’t tell me, gathering information on the nobles is……!]

[You’ve figured it out.]

Not at all.

Frondier smiled darkly, as if it were all part of his plan.

[You seem to think that’s a task Carla just started at Atlas.]

Madam’s eyes wavered at Frondier’s words. The premise she had been thinking about was crumbling. That was the look on her face.

Driving the wedge in further.

[When do you think I would have started gathering such information?]

[……Lies…….]

It was a lie.

[Do you think the connections you speak of will be more effective than the information I hold?]

Madam Achaea said it herself. That she was connected to the king.

It was an appeal that the king and the royal family were likely on her side, but conversely, it meant that if she made a big mistake, it could affect the royal family.

[……What exactly is your purpose?]

Finally, that question came from the Madam. It was practically a declaration of defeat.

[I can’t tell you that.]

Because Frondier didn’t know either.

[Atlas is where my son goes. What in the world is going on there? Why is Carla gathering information about devils? And what’s the reason for collecting information on the nobles and doing all this?]

Madam Achaea was worried about her son. Perhaps most of the nobles who agreed with her felt the same way. Maybe they were thinking of leaving Atlas when this was all over.

That was a bit of a problem for Frondier. He still needed his position as a teacher at Atlas, and if Aias left Atlas and his reputation suffered, it would be difficult for him to continue as a teacher.

[Don’t worry.]

So Frondier said.

[Nothing will happen at Atlas. I’m working to ensure that.]

[……What’s that supposed to mean?]

[The coexistence of devils and humans, I mentioned it before.]

[That nonsense.]

It was nonsense.

But maybe there were people who believed it wasn’t.

Frondier decided to become one of those people.

Just for a little while.

[We devils are currently in conflict.]

We devils. He got goosebumps under his arms as soon as he said it.

[Conflict……?]

[Just like you humans. I believe there’s no need to fight with humans.]

[……And yet you gather information to threaten the nobles?]

[Is that a problem?]

Of course it was a problem, but Frondier tilted his head and asked.

That’s what devils usually did. Frondier was getting better at acting like a devil.

[……I knew it, you’re impossible to deal with. You can’t understand humans.]

And it worked perfectly.

It worked so well that Frondier felt a little bitter.

[Anyway, just watch. Your interference is not needed yet.]

Frondier said that and stepped back.

He exchanged greetings with the other nobles and bid farewell to Madam Achaea in the same manner.

A voice flew at his back again.

[Don’t tell me, you’re one of the 72 devils?]

Frondier thought for a moment before answering that question.

[I’m close with Baal.]
