Teron shouted in a panic. “What do you think you’re doing? Move that foot and back off right now!” “Say it properly. You’re the one stepping on my foot. If you want it moved, you move.” “Y-you! I knew you were brainless, but this is on another level…!” Teron’s face went pale. It wasn’t because…

Duke Luke’s eyes gleamed with a vicious light. You could practically see his intent to kill just by looking into them. Even so, the Demon stayed relaxed. Not once in his long life had he ever felt anything like fear. ‘The clause “You cannot attack a Demon of the Second Legion” is what’s keeping me…

Four people were now sharing the duke’s carriage that had previously carried only one. Lowell, Pleche, Duke Zeppelin, and his knight sat together. “Thanks for the hospitality. I really thought we’d be stuck camping outside again today.” “It’s fine.” “The carriage is nice. Having money really is the best, you know. Don’t you think so?”…

“Kill you? What are you suddenly talking about?” Caron shouted, pretending to be surprised. But it didn’t work on Dwener. “To think you’d consider killing me regardless of personal ties… This whole affair has convinced me. Choosing you as my partner was the best choice I ever made.” Money, strength, power, honor. The more you…

The reason Dwener knew the truth about that day. It was because Zero had given him a hint. ‘Keke, did you know? Sometimes fairy tales are created to hide a cruel reality.’ ‘Hmm? What do you mean by that?’ ‘Go pay Grandma Peggy a visit. You’ll hear an interesting story from her.’ Zero had only…

“May I come in now?” Caron poked his rough-looking face through the slightly opened door. Dwener shot him a look that clearly said, “Do you really think so?”, but Caron casually ignored it and walked inside. “What were you thinking about?” “I was thinking about a strange bastard. A truly vicious one who makes people’s…

“Hmm… so this is an Annwood Academy recommendation letter.” “Too bad. If we were old enough, we’d be the ones getting it.” “I-it looks expensive!” The kids huddled together, crowding around to stare at Dolores’s recommendation letter. The Trash Sprout Defense Squad’s second-in-command, Whale, whispered to Adel. “Boss, how about recruiting Dolores too? If we’ve…

“Is that really true?” Luna asked, her face brightening, and Caron answered with a simple nod. “That’s strange.” “What’s strange?” “Everything about this is strange. Buying up a dying village is one thing, but the Academy doesn’t gain anything from it. If they still went through with it… doesn’t that mean there’s some shady motive…

Rattle, rattle—. It wasn’t just Caron who appeared. Five wagons were trailing behind him. The strange thing was that iron-barred cages were loaded on top of the wagons. “Look over there.” “I told you, I knew from the first time I saw them. They gave off a bad vibe.” “Tsk, tsk. And they call themselves…

“Then shall we consider the Trash Village matter wrapped up with this?” “That sounds fine.” “Then we’ll move on to the next agenda item.” The conference hall of the imperial palace. Countless crystal orbs lit up the chamber. A council of nobles that had been convened since early morning. Yet no one complained, because the…
