Her Identity

Kugugugugu!

The vibrations that had struck the entire academy began to intensify.

Wh-Whats happening?

An earthquake? Is it an earthquake?

It cant be, right? An earthquake at the academy?

The students bewildered expressions turned white as a sheet .

Not to mention intrusion, the Academy had never experienced any kind of natural disaster through the use of various ancient magics.

As a result, despite several recent internal incidents casting a shadow on its reputation, Sunrise Academy was still considered to be the safest place in the empire.

Crackle, crackle!

Kyaaack!?

Yet, at this moment, that academy was shaking to the point where the walls were cracking. Therefore, it was natural for the students to fall into panic.

But, they shouldnt be surprised just by something like this.

But that was because they didnt know anything.

This was just the beginning.

Would these guys have any idea how much this academy would be entangled in incidents from now on?

According to the prophecy foretold by the Ancestor, the invasion of the Academy was an inevitable clich, like fate.

Also, as predicted, the upcoming Siege of the Academy would lead to a large-scale invasion of the academy.

Of course, I had destroyed the Dark Golem, the final boss of the siege scenario, during my first year, so I had been somewhat relieved during that time.

However, if things were as they were supposed to be, shouldnt the Erosion Phenomenon occur much later? And wouldnt that eye monsters and the intermediate Dark Golems only spawn at that time?

After such events occurred haphazardly, I couldnt feel relieved at all.

Therefore, I resolved to become stronger and make the heroines stronger, too. However

Master! Danger

Crash!

I swung my sword, knocking away the light fixture falling towards Lulu and me. Then, I stared at her with a pale face.

Ssk, ssk

Uh, eaaah?

At that moment, I gently rubbed Lulus cheek with mine.

So soft

I felt a warm feeling.

Now I could understand why she kept rubbing her cheek against mine.

I-I want to do it too.

Ssk, ssk

N-Now because were lovers

After I briefly brushed my cheek against hers, Lulu pressed her cheek against mine.

Nuzzling

Thanks to that, a somewhat hilarious scene unfolded as we earnestly nuzzled while embracing each other for a while.

Thump, thump!

D-darn it Wh-What the heck is happening

S-Save us!

Fortunately, the surroundings were so noisy that our reactions went unnoticed.

Act slowly according to the order!

Hey, you there, dont run recklessly!

The student council and some professors began to command loudly and lead the chaotic students towards the sports field.

Crackle, crackle

However, the incident seemed to be originating from the sports field.

Others might not have noticed it due to the vibrations, but I could clearly see the space gradually breaking apart in the corner of the sports field.

Originally, this scenario started with an explosion incident in the annex, but such variables seemed bound to occur.

Hmm.

Thanks to Lulu, who helped me calm down, I could assess the atmosphere in the classroom.

The atmosphere in the classroom was still chaotic.

Even the students who wanted to bully me during lunchtime were pale-faced and trembled.

Beep, beep

Although I was relieved, if things continued like this, there could be casualties. So, I communicated with Kania, Irina, and Clana, who were quietly observing the situation.

Go to the sports field. Its the Erosion Phenomenon.

After hearing my brief command, they quietly left the classroom, being careful not to attract attention.

Lets go too, Lulu.

Ah, yes!

After I watched them go, I spoke to Lulu in a low voice and held her hand before starting to move my wobbly legs.

We must prevent this disaster now.

P-Prevent it?

Upon hearing my muttered words, she reacted by tilting her head.

Arent you the one who caused it, Master?

And then, she uttered the words.

About to retort with disbelief, I quickly recalled that she saw me as an executive in the Demon Kings Army. So, I hesitated for a while before speaking again.

It wasnt me.

Th-Then?

It was the Church. The Church is the Third Force.

Ah, I see.

Upon hearing that, she immediately nodded in understanding.

Ill remember it.

As she mumbled that, she took my hand and began leading me.

The Church is your enemy The Church is an enemy eliminate, I must eliminate them

?

If she had a tail, it would have wagged vigorously as she casually muttered such scary words. Watching Lulu in a daze, I soon chuckled to myself and quietly mumbled.

Did I just see it wrong?

I definitely saw something growing on Lulus head.

.

.

.

.

.

Crackle, crackle!

Hmm

Lulu came outside with Frey, and quietly lit up her Magic Eyes. She started to analyze the distorted space he pointed out earlier.

This is strange. I have no idea about the structure.

However, even she couldnt analyze the distorted space caused by the Erosion Phenomenon.

She is the one who can instantly analyze the space that Dmir Khan, the worlds greatest authority on spatial magic, has put a lot of effort into distorting.

Not only that, but since her Magic Eyes were upgraded, she was able to analyze anything that was magical or had rules to it.

Uh, uh

However, for the first time, there was something she couldnt analyze.

As a result, Lulu broke into a cold sweat. She checked Freys reaction and spoke faintly.

I-I dont know Master.

What?

I cant analyze it at all. I dont know the components or anything else Heik!

Then, Frey quietly reached out his hand towards her head. Lulu flinched with a frightened expression on her face.

She knew that Frey had never hit her, but the moment she realized that she couldnt help him had triggered her past trauma.

The fact that she deserved to be beaten if she wasnt useful or couldnt help had been deeply ingrained in her mind.

It was somewhat faint, but that memory was undoubtedly

Ssk

Ugh.

As fear gripped Lulus mind, Freys gentle touch reached out to her.

Its okay, Lulu.

Before long, Freys gentle smile came into view for her.

At this moment, your presence by my side is already a tremendous help.

Then, Frey tightly embraced her.

Thump, thump

Then, she could feel Freys heartbeat.

Ah

His heartbeat was beating several times faster than hers.

Her master was experiencing fear and dread several times greater than hers due to some kind of curse.

This isnt the time for this.

Therefore, she made a resolution once again.

Lets ignore the past traumas. Protecting the Master in front of you is what matters now.

Originally, she had a mental strength of only 1, but due to recent changes, her mental strength had remarkably risen.

You decided to become stronger, Lulu, didnt you? Master wants you. So, you have to meet his expectations and become stronger.

It was an achievement made solely with the determination to protect Frey.

As Masters loyal pet, it was only natural to protect him.

Lulu, who had overcome the trauma of her past on her own for the first time, tilted her head as she felt a tingling sensation in her head.

Whats this?

Recently, whenever she harbored an ambition to climb higher, whenever she wanted to become stronger than she was now, her head would feel itchy.

Well, then, can you analyze those guys?

Ah, yes!

Thanks to Freys question, Lulu, who had been awkwardly rubbing her head in his arms, widened her eyes and nodded vigorously.

Huh?

And the moment she looked beyond Frey, Lulus mouth opened wide.

Krrroooaaarrr!!

Kkiek, kkieeeeek!!

Hideous-looking demonic monsters crawled out from the distorted space.

K-Kyaaahhhh!?

Damn! What the hell is that!?

Suddenly, screams and curses erupted from everywhere.

Th-This cant be

The principal, who had hurriedly come out of the sports field, turned pale and sat on the ground, horrified by the disaster unfolding before his eyes.

T-The academy is under attack

The Sunrise Academy, the Sanctuary which had never allowed intrusion since the final battle between the Demon King and the Hero a thousand years ago, was ruthlessly under attack.

Lulu, analyze the information on the monsters and the combat patterns of the first-year students. Dont worry about the second and third-year students.

Yes, yes

Except for the commoners, everyone in the second year is not worth analyzing Instead, focus on analyzing and evaluating how the first-year students respond to crises. You can do that, right?

Y-yes, I got it!

Thanks to Freys urgent shout, Lulu quickly snapped out of her daze and nodded.

Analysis was her specialty.

It might have been a bit challenging in the past, but now that her Magic Eyes had been upgraded, let alone analyzing the combat patterns of the first-year students, even analyzing the entire school would be a piece of cake.

Also, analyze the combat patterns of Kania, Irina, and Clana. Theyll be facing three mid-bosses each.

Ah.Understood. B-but where are you going?

As Lulu clenched her fists determinedly, she urgently asked Frey as he began heading somewhere.

Theres something I must do.

Then, Frey responded by fiddling with the Robe of Deception in his arms.

No matter what I need to minimize the Heros influence.

Freys face turned pale with considerable fear as he said that.

While revealing the Hero of Money for the first time, I must also protect all the first-year students. I cant allow a single casualty. I must turn this incident into a lesson.

Wait a moment!

Indeed Do I truly have no option but to enter the gate?

L-let me go with you!

Lulu desperately ran towards him because, just by looking, it was evident that he was trembling so much that he appeared pitiful.

Lulu, please take care of what I said.

Frey said that with a gentle smile. He trembled with fear as he stepped into the crowd of people who were staring at him coldly.

Ssk

At that moment, the robe of deception slipped away from his arms.

Crackle

Mas-Master?

Lulu, who was desperately trying to find Frey who was mixed in with the crowd with her magic eyes, began to break out in a cold sweat when she couldnt find him with her magic eyes for some reason.

Master

She stared blankly at the crowd, resembling a dog that had lost its master, and mumbled. Soon, a single tear streamed down her face as she muttered once more.

Frey

Lulu called Freys name not as a pet dominated by him, but as a lover who loved him more than anyone else.

At the same time, her expression began to change more seriously than ever before.

Indeed, I must become at least hundreds of times stronger than I am now.

Lulu stood still as she clenched her fist. Then, she trembled and spoke with a fire of determination in her eyes.

Wherever you are, no matter where you go, no matter where you hide I will find you.

Then, this time, her tailbone tingled.

She quietly twisted her legs when she felt the prickling sensation.

Focus Lets focus.

Following the sensation that she felt in her head since earlier, she was now starting to feel it in her pelvis too. She ignored the prickling sensation and simply operated her Magic Eyes and began to speak intensely.

I will always find you, so that I can be your pet forever.

At the same time, the attention of the demonic monsters began to slowly shift towards her.

.

.

.

.

.

At that moment.

H-Hero! What should we do now!?

That Those are demonic monsters, right?

Keugh

The students sticking to Ruby were shouting at her with pale faces.

H-Hero, its time for you to show us your strength.

Thats right. Hero, youre strong, arent you? So, just those guys

Darn it.

In that situation, Ruby was quietly sweating and gazing at what was in front of her.

[Passive Status: Honesty MAX, Vulnerability MAX]

Frey that bastard

In the current situation, the worst curses were piled up on her.

Did he already connect to the special system? Moreover, did he willingly spend points like this? Hes not that kind of guy, is he? So, what the hell is going on here?

Ruby observed her own special details with an annoyed expression.

Well, playing like this would be fun too.

Shortly after, she murmured with a smile full of interest.

As expected, you always make me happy

Crackle, crackle!

..Hmm?

She casually looked around to search for Frey, who might be busy running around somewhere. Suddenly, her eyes widened, and her hair stood up as she stared at something.

Sigh.

She let out a short sigh as she noticed the sudden and drastic change in Lulus body.

Speaking of losers, what are you going to do now?

As she was about to avert her gaze, Ruby noticed the intense stare directed at her. She added a brief word.

Regardless, you are always persistent, little sis.

The cold gaze of Ruby, who spoke so honestly, intersected with the eyes of Lulu, who had turned ruby-colored.
