Chapter 196: Ranchi Just Listened to a Public Lesson
Whenever the wind blew, the wooden-framed window would make a “creaking” sound, and the fabric hanging on the small window would tremble slightly, and occasionally a few drops of rainwater would drip down from the cracks of the fabric.
In the center of the dimly lit room, the Great Love Poet was speaking in her flirty voice around Phoenix.
“Phoenix-san, right now your sister Phyllis is in the school hospital.”
“……”
The mere presence of the Daemon beside him terrified Phoenix beyond measure, and she amplified the fear infinitely more as if she could manipulate his emotions.
Naturally, Phoenix knew what the Daemon said was going on.
It must be that Phyllis had accidentally seen Ranch on the screen dueling with Adams, mistaking him for that principal in the Purgatory Cloisters Academy, and had fainted in fear.
Actually, it wasn’t a coincidence that they were able to bump into Ranch’s team on the first day of school at Ichorite Academy, but he just happened to receive the news that he could go and intercept the hunting target for a bit, so he participated in the match.
After he returned, he stayed in a hypnotized state in the present world to ensure that his identity and mission were foolproof, completely forgetting everything about himself related to the Church of the Resurrection until he received the wake-up command.
There was no chance to tell his sister the information the church had gotten.
“Do whatever you guys want with her.”
Phoenix cut in, coldly, like he didn’t care if she lived or died.
“Hmph.”
The Great Love Poet sat down at Ranch’s table and hooked a finger.
Without needing words, Ranch understood what she meant and pulled out a bunch of translucent cards with different glows from his soul space for her to choose from.
But he also didn’t know which magic card the Great Love Poet used to want.
The Great Love Poet picked for a while and drew out a [Change Magic: Demon] for Ranchi to use.
Ranch then changed back to his image of the Glowing Demon from his time at the Purgatory Cloister Academy.
The Great Poet of Love tapped the table in front of Huberian again, signaling her to remove her disguise and change back to her original appearance as a half-demon.
At this moment, this warehouse looked like it had turned into a demonic territory in a flash.
“Which of the two of us is the summoner of whom, anyway.”
Ranchi rather breathlessly put away the magic deck.
He even felt that the Great Love Poet was truly the perfect living being, as long as he as the host didn’t die, the Great Love Poet was also immortal, and even if she was defeated, as long as he waited for the summoning cooldown to expire, he would be able to summon her out again.
“Heh, if I’m a card maker and can get your soul material, I’ll also make sure to make you into a Poet of some kind as my natal card.”
The Great Love Poet hummed smugly back.
Her card making talent was much more powerful than Ranchi, but unfortunately, she was limited to the first rank and could only give him a hand.
With that, the Great Love Poet looked back at Phoenix.
“Phoenix, imagine a scenario, suppose later on I take Ranch to visit your sister in the hospital, she has just woken up slightly relieved from the nightmare of being scared into a coma, thinking that she has returned to reality …… then on this dim stormy day when thunder rolls in, she sees that the hall is famous for its security of the Ichorite Academy that I, a living demon, could walk into her hospital room with impunity, and that the next person to walk into the hospital room would be Headmaster Glow Demon, what would happen to her then?”
The Great Love Poet smiled pleasantly, painting a scene for Phineas.
“She’d be broken, right? Definitely will, right?”
The Big Love Poet’s leaping expression seemed as if he was beyond excited to try it out.
She observed Phoenix’s progressively uncontrollable expression, already bruising his face, and the Great Love Poet finally pointed at him and let loose with a loud laugh.
“I thought you didn’t care about your sister at all? Didn’t you say – ‘do whatever you want with her’? Why does it seem like you can’t sit still now?”
The great love poet deliberately mimicked Phoenix’s earlier tone, mocking him.
With the emotions amplified, Phoenix’s intentions were too good to see through.
Earlier it was just a deliberate attempt to act like he didn’t care about his sister.
With just the slightest sign, the great love poet could easily identify the gap in the prisoner’s mental defenses. “No! You can’t lay hands on my sister, she’s not a Resurrectionist, none of this has anything to do with her!”
Phoenix roared in near-collapse.
These demons might not hurt his sister a hair, but they could essentially destroy her completely!
“I guess now you’re thinking that decent people like us couldn’t really do something like threaten you with your family …… as well as that we wouldn’t do anything to your sister if we were sure of her innocence …… “
The Great Love Poet spread his hands, raised his eyebrows meaningfully and said slowly to Phoenix that
“But now that you take a closer look, are we human?”
The Great Love Poet was all smiles and stepped aside.
Behind what she was showing, sat two demons.
Their expressions were bland, things were not their concern, this evil and coldness that only the demons possessed.
“……!”
In an instant, Phoenix actually had a terrifying thought-
It was as if this place was no longer the royal capital of the Houghton Kingdom, Ichorite.
Rather, it was the base of the demons.
It even made Phoenix suspect that this country, has been eroded and infiltrated by the Demons ……
“How about this, or later on, why don’t we just have the student council organize a campus event, and the theme will be called everyone dressing up as demons and hosting an orgy, and when your sister wakes up and walks out of the hospital, she’ll find that the entire academy is filled with demons, and that everyone looks like they’ve gone crazy, so think about that image, how about it? This real life demon game, first let her run away, and then when she thinks she’s almost escaped the nightmare, then let the glow demon principal, Ranch, show up ……”
The great love poet was still tirelessly working like a director to keep painting a rosy picture for Phoenix.
For a long time.
“No, say no more.”
Healed by the words of the Great Love Poet, Phoenix’s mental defenses finally crumbled, and he trembled with tears as he said
“I promise you all whatever you say …… Don’t go hurting Phyllis ……”
“……”
Not far from the table.
Huberian looked sideways at Ranch without a word.
Ranch was still sipping his tea now, listening attentively to the proceedings of the interrogation of the great poet of love, his face filled with the expression of relief at seeing the prodigal son return.
Like a school leader sitting at the end of the classroom listening to a public lecture by the ideology teacher.
“We’ve saved another wayward teenager, and again, we’re full of merit.”
Ranch noticed Huberian’s glance and looked at her sideways as well, smiling.
“……”
Hubertarian couldn’t pick up on that.
She didn’t want to spend another minute with these two Chosen Demons in the room right now, she just wanted to get to Tata and heal up quickly.
If Ranch was a pseudo-human, his great loving poet was a true gate species.
The Great Love Poet didn’t even act.
But there is a difference between the Big Love Poet and Ranch, at least the Big Love Poet is aware of his own bad taste and has a clear self-awareness of his lack of human origin.
Ranch is the one who doesn’t think he has a problem at all.
Hubertarian could no longer tell which side of the room was the good guys and which side was the cultists.
She shuddered to think what Dean Loren would think of them and how he would speculate on what kind of brutal transformation they had done to this elite congregation when they handed over the washed-up, refreshed Phoenix to Dean Loren tomorrow.
