Then the bus arrived. The two of them rode in silence. There were only four or five passengers in the bus.

As soon as Shilok sat in the back seat, Beren followed and sat in the front seat. His attitude was very cold, no, to be more precise, he was embarrassed.

The evidence is that she kept stealing glances at Shilok.

Shilok didn't quite understand what Beren's shyness was based on.

Weren’t you quite proactive in the Ferris wheel just now?

Then Shilok stood up and sat next to Beren.

"Come a little closer."

I pushed her shoulder roughly. Although Belen pouted, she still squeezed towards the window seat obediently.

"Don't push too much..."

"What does this matter?"

Shilok said with a smirk.

"Humph."

Beren simply leaned on Shilok's shoulder.

"I'm sleepy, call me before you get off the bus."

"Good good."

"Just say 'OK' once."

Beren pinched Silok's flank.

Just the right amount of itch to make you want to do it again.

119. Pyramid

Monday, April 5th.

"What's this?"

Hillock in front of him was about to put the jelly on the strawberry tart shaved ice into his mouth, but stopped when he heard what Cass said.

"Hilok, do you feel alright?"

Cass tilted his head slightly, his flowing hair swaying, his eyes full of surprise.

Her nails were neatly trimmed, her ring was shiny, and her casual clothes were also gorgeous, with brown and black as the colors were elegant, which was enough to show how much importance Cass attached to this meeting.

Kas and Shilok officially started to spawn monsters on the second floor at noon today, using those unconventional locations under Shilok's guidance.

It was 6 o'clock in the evening and the two were in a somewhat fashionable Idli restaurant.

Compared to the solemn Cass, Hillock's outfit was very ordinary, wearing jeans, a GAP jacket, and cheap sneakers.

But Cass didn't care. He was very happy just that Shilok could come.

"I mean, that Henson said to my maid, 'I can kill Cliff in a duel,' and I wasn't the one present at the time... Why did he mistake my maid for me?"

Although Shilok had confirmed it before, Cass couldn't help but ask:

"Does this mean that my...my identity has been exposed to the Fallen Demon Society? They knew about it so quickly, maybe they have already infiltrated the National Explorer Academy."

"Ah."

Shilok put the jelly into his mouth and swallowed it.

"You are right about one thing. They have indeed sneaked into the school."

"I see. No wonder he knew... No wonder—!"

Cass was so excited that he almost stood up, but his voice was a little loud, so he had to apologize with a wry smile to the few customers around him.

"Isn't this terrible? Everyone in the school is in danger!"

"calm down."

Unlike the excited Cass, Shilok ate calmly:

"My next goal is to eliminate the members of the Fallen Demon Society in the school."

"....Huh? Really?

Hearing this, Cass touched his chest.

Sure enough, Shilok would not sit still and wait for death.

"There's no benefit in keeping them.... although it's just by the way. But maybe starting next week, I'm going to take a long vacation."

"Long vacation?"

Then Hillock and Cass talked about some general plans for the future.

"Dungeon mission... We won't have the chance to meet for a long time..."

Cass was very disappointed.

According to Hillock, he won't be seen for two weeks or even longer.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried.

But right now, there was another problem for Cass to worry about.

anyway.....

The Fallen Demon Society already knows that I'm pretending to be your brother?

If the news reaches his mother Victoria, he will be expelled from school soon.

Cass opened his watch and glanced at the news—

Henson was arrested and executed.

The people who knew my true identity are already dead, but that doesn't guarantee that my true identity hasn't spread among the Fallen Demon Society.

"What's wrong with you? You look terrible. Do you have a stomachache?"

"No, it's just... the air conditioner is a little cold..."

Cass himself knew that this lie was lame and his face turned pale.

In fact, Hillock's spoon scooped up the strawberry tart slowly and looked at himself suspiciously.

In this case, only by killing them all can we ensure that the news will not reach Victoria.

I absolutely cannot drop out of school.

The relationship with Hellux has just started, and the relationship that was finally brought closer will become distant again...

Dark thoughts arose in his heart, and he was thinking about how to find the members of the Fallen Demon Society one by one and have Hetanid eat them.

"Cas, let's get back to your question. What Henson said was, 'You are truly amazing. No wonder you were able to defeat Cliff in a duel in seconds.' Is that right?"

"Eh? Ah, yes, yes."

Shilok finally put on an expression of serious thinking, but he was eating big mouthfuls of shaved ice that had not yet melted in his hands... Didn't he feel his teeth were chattering from the cold?

"He probably doesn't know your identity, but he may have mistaken you for someone else."

“Ah——?!! How could I have recognized the wrong person?”

Cas quickly covered his mouth.

Hillock slowly began to eat the last strawberry:

"Members of the Fallen Demon Society help each other, but do not interfere with each other. The highest code of conduct they follow is 'holy duty', and everyone's holy duty is different.

Unless otherwise required by the order or the mission is to achieve the same goal, members of the order do not usually exchange information.

The issuance of the Holy Orders is directly informed by Izabilis.

Henson is a member of a lower-level organization.

The mission he received was probably something like "give strength to the blue-haired person at the amusement park platform". He didn't think about whether it could be more accurate, but how he could understand it. Ha, a bunch of psychopaths."

Hillock chopped the biscuits into pieces with a spoon in annoyance, muttering: If there were no Fallen Demon Society, this game would be just a daily show, and the opponents would be easy to deal with.

"According to you," Cass continued:

"Henson is looking for the 'blue-haired person'. Is it possible that he mistook someone else with blue hair?"

"Correct."

"The last thing he said to me was what he heard from a colleague lurking in the school. Just because of my blue hair, he mistook me...the maid for me?"

Shilok nodded:

“The information transmission between their personnel is very mixed, especially for people like Henson who are at the lowest level and receive information unilaterally, the information is distorted even more.

Hearing the key words "Cas" and "blue hair", I mistook the maid for you, even though they are obviously different genders."

Although your situation is more like a chain reaction of the supporting characters beside the protagonist, Shilok added quietly.

Cass touched his hair with mixed feelings.

In other words, Henson mistook me for Cass last night, and it was just that my outfit at the time happened to meet the requirements?

If he met other people with blue hair, he would say the same thing.

What's unlucky is that I have to run into this situation.

Fortunately, it happened to me and no other powerless ordinary people were hurt.

What a strange organization.

In a "holy ministry"? ...This is a nice, casual way to cause harm or even death to people.

Fortunately, after this discussion, at least I can be sure that the other party may not have discovered my true identity.

It was Henson who made the mistake.

It would be better to think so now.

"call....."

Thinking of this, Cass felt much more relaxed.

But when I think about the existence of such people lurking in the city, or even in schools, I feel uncomfortable.

The room looks clean and tidy, but there are countless cockroaches hiding in the invisible corners....

Just thinking about it, Cas's face turned black with disgust.

"The Tuner can't get any information... Low-level employees like Henson only know how to follow orders, right?"

"Lower-level employee? About the same."

Shilok smiled, acknowledging the analogy.

"This group of D-class personnel only received the information of 'what to do', and 'why to do it' was not within their consideration. Who told you that your maid looks so much like you, Cas, and you let her use the same color weapon as you?"

"I can't help it! She insisted on imitating me."

"Why did your voice become so high-pitched... That maid looks so much like you, I almost thought it was your sister Katya, but that's impossible, she's lying in bed in hibernation."

"..."

Cass could only sweat in silence.

Shilok kept calling "maid, maid".

Could it be that Hill didn't tell Shilok his name?

Or maybe, Shilok is simply not interested in being followed?

Cas frowned in dissatisfaction and bit his lower lip.

"But what Henson said to the maid at the end, according to their personalities, was genuine admiration and praise, but the fact that he made a mistake was quite funny."

“Haha…I see.”

"Since we're talking about D-class personnel, let me also talk about their organizational structure. Anyway, it's the kind of organizational structure that's everywhere..."

Shilok paused, and those green eyes looked at him.

"What's wrong?"
