The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy

Chapter 259 (1) - The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy

Sad news. Author is on indefinite hiatus.

I stared at Hensel's necklace with a rather serious expression.

It definitely wasn't to escape the current crisis.

Again, I'm telling the truth.

However, Hensel didn't readily answer.

"......"

Was there something she was feeling guilty about?

She kept her mouth shut even when I narrowed my eyes.

It really couldn't be more suspicious.

'What is it?'

An ominous premonition washed over me.

I felt like I had seen this necklace somewhere before.

But I couldn't say anything because the memory wouldn't come to me.

An awkward silence filled the Half-Demon Club room.

It was a Half-Demon club member who broke the awkward silence.

"......Mr. Adel."

Why are you calling me all of a sudden?

I turned my gaze.

A Half-Demon student was looking up at me with shining eyes, as if he was moved by something.

"That brutality is comparable to that of humans......!"

"Huh?"

"Didn't you threaten to cut off their heads just because they tried to figure out the truth?"

Uh.

That's not true at all.

But Hensel seemed to be terrified, as if she had taken that nonsensical bullshit as truth.

"Th-That's what you meant! I'm sorry! I won't ever doubt you again, Adel! No, I won't even try to find out. I'll accept you as you are, like a natural disaster!" ṝΑƝȱＢĚⱾ

No, you Half-Demon.

If you accept a natural disaster as it is, we're all going to die.

Well, whatever.

'I got out of it well.'

Fortunately, I bought myself some time to breathe.

I glanced at Luna and saw her looking at me with a dissatisfied gaze before she looked away again.

Why is Luna acting like that?

It seemed that she still had feelings for me.

Even after I treated her so harshly, Luna couldn't completely hate me yet.

So, in fact, it's impossible for Luna to completely hate me because of her nature.

That's why it's a little painful.

It's agonizing because my heart, knowing that Luna needs to leave Sytan to be safe, still wants her to stay by my side, is so contradictory and strange.

"Anyway, Student Adel, are you going to join the Half-Demon Club?"

Hensel asked me.

I took my eyes off Luna and looked at Hensel.

Something was suspicious.

It wasn't just one or two things that were suspicious.

The fact that Diana approved the establishment of this club.

The fact that Luna is in this situation.

The words that Idea said to me.

And the necklace hanging around Hensel's neck.

There was nothing that wasn't suspicious.

'This is ominous.'

It felt like a big incident was about to happen.

My body, which possessed the greatest talent as a villain, was sending me that warning.

A huge current.

It's moving, it said.

It said that the river flowing towards the sea is getting stronger at a moment I'm not even aware of.

......Is it just my imagination?

I hope so.

But from the moment I became Adel, I've experienced and felt so much.

Didn't everything I thought was just my imagination turn into reality?

'I need to be prepared.'

I need to become stronger so I don't get swept away by the strong waves.

Even stronger than I am now.

"Alright."

After organizing my thoughts, I opened my mouth to Hensel.

"I'll join. The Half-Demon Club."

"Ooh!"

Then the Half-Demon club members burst into cheers.

Luna didn't say anything either, but she didn't seem too displeased.

......Yeah, this is the right thing to do.

I have to stand at the center of the storm.

A place where I don't know which way it will turn, and where the remnants swirling within the storm are scattered everywhere.

That's where I stand.

And,

'I need to talk to Luna.'

What is she thinking?

What are her plans for the future?

I need to find out.

Otherwise, I feel like I'm going to go crazy with anxiety.

......Of course, it's a bit awkward to bring it up now with the club members watching, so let's talk later in private.

That kind of attention is burdensome for me too.

More importantly,

"But, what kind of activities does this club do?"

"Hmm, activities you say. Well, I should have explained that first."

"So, what kind of activities do you do?"

No matter how I look at it, these Half-Demons seem to be doing nothing.

I swallowed my words and stared at Hensel, who was smiling.

"We do very important activities."

"So, what kind of activities?”

"Improving the perception of Half-Demons, you could say. Securing our rights as Demons......"

"Be specific."

"Supporting you, Adel, putting up banners. Things like that......"

Further explanation was unnecessary.

It's clear that these guys aren't doing anything properly.

With a sigh, I asked calmly.

"Does anything change because of that?"

This was a question purely out of curiosity.

What changes?

In fact, nothing really changed, did it?

Half-Demons are still being ignored and discriminated against by Sytan students.

What good would it do to support me?

In fact, my public image isn't that great either.

Nevertheless, Hensel put on a confident expression.

"You'll see, I'll change things."

"......"

I wanted to say something, but I decided to keep my mouth shut.

It's not like I have the right to criticize them, and they seem so sincere, I didn't want to spoil the mood by saying anything.

Sigh.

It was then, while I was thinking that.

Swish-.

Luna got up from her seat and went somewhere.

Clang-.

At that moment, the bell signaling the start of class rang.

Break time was over.

"It seems like it's time for us to disband as well."

"Disband!"

"Scatter!"

And as I blankly watched the Half-Demons scattering, I turned my head at Hensel's words.

"Now that Student Adel has joined our club, we need to have a welcoming party."

"A welcoming party?"

"Of course! It's a party for Student Adel, so it's unacceptable for you to miss it!"

"......Hmm."

This is something.

I can't refuse.

Since I needed to find out why the Half-Demon Club and Diana were connected, I needed to stay with them for a while.

As I nodded,

"You have to come!"

I scratched the back of my head as I watched Hensel disappear, emphasizing her point once again.

I have a mountain of things to do. A mountain.
