Broken Possessors of Infinite Regression Academy

Chapter 67

67 – Raising a Hero – 1

When I thought about it, there was one more person at Bellium Academy who was acting inappropriately for his age.

“I have returned after completing the work that was entrusted to me.”

I looked down at Io Brante, who was wiggling his fingers because of his small stature and timid appearance, making him look even younger than 18 years old.

He is a little shorter than Rosaria and has a kind and timid look, but inside he is a worn-out 48-year-old mercenary who will do anything for money.

Even if the reason why he looked like that was because of the bracelet, an ancient artifact, on his wrist, it didn’t really suit him.

“Okay. I heard the news. “It was well disguised as an accidental death.”

One lost his footing, fell down the stairs and broke his neck, and the other drank until he became speechless and lay down, but ended up lying in an upright position, choking on his own vomit and dying.

Another person was unfortunately caught in a landslide while riding a carriage somewhere on a rainy day, and the last person’s cause of death was a heart attack of unknown cause. He probably used a poison that Io himself had concocted.

“At first, I thought about bringing a neck, but I thought that would make it noisy. “It’s better to make it look like an accident if possible.”

Because four nobles died around the same time, it became quite a topic of conversation, but in other words, it did not become more than a topic of discussion.

Because of that, it was safe to say that there would not be a full-scale investigation. All four of them are just low-ranking nobles from the outskirts.

I’m not particularly connected to a high-ranking family by marriage.

‘Quinn might give her a bit of a headache.’

You could probably do some personal research, but you probably won’t find anything. This was done by a mercenary who Priscilla and Rosaria agreed to say had at least one true skill.

Unless you were watching the vomit start to fall, you would probably be a bit annoyed.

“That is the correct answer. Anyway, good job. “Here’s the promised compensation.”

In addition to the basic payment of 2 platinum coins, an additional fee of 50 gold coins per head was added, making a total of 4 platinum coins. Tears welled up in Io’s eyes as she was placed in her palm.

“Thank you... ....”

Io swallowed back tears and bowed.

Because of the ‘younger brothers’ I have to take care of, I can’t even dream of long-distance requests that take more than a few days, and I’m always in a position where I have to be very careful not to reveal my true identity, so I guess that’s because I’ve never handled such a large sum of money at once.

“I paid a fair price, so it’s okay to say thank you. “If you understand, you can just leave.”

However, even though Io said it was okay to go back, Io remained standing.

“Why? “Do you still have anything left to say?”

Only after I urged him a couple of times did Io hesitantly open his mouth.

“I...... I know it’s not my place to say this...... Sir, if you don’t mind, do you ever plan on entrusting me with another request?”

“Another request?”

“Yes. I’m really good at everything. Assassination is of course possible. As long as the place isn’t too dangerous, I can ask you to kill everyone and get out. Or you can do simple chores. Also... ....”

I smiled slightly as I watched Io hastily explaining her strengths.

‘I guess you still remember what I said last time.’

There would be a huge difference between going back like this and waiting indefinitely for someone to call you again, and going back after receiving a confirmation that you would like to take on another request.

‘Rather than that, it’s a different request.’

I couldn’t think of anything in particular right now.

Assassinations disguised as accidents are not allowed for the time being because if they are used too often, it will have the adverse effect of raising suspicions over the ‘accidental deaths’ that have occurred.

I intentionally leaked information in front of Roxanna that I was going to buy dessert here on Saturday. Then, looking at her, she jumped out and it seemed like Roxanna was very diligent in her role as a spy.

One more reason not to be accepted into the club.

“Welcome, warrior. And...... What.”

When we got off the carriage, the priest came over as if he had been waiting and greeted Brünnhild with an arrogant look. He made it clear that he was blatantly ignoring me.

Even if he were a priest of the Starlight Church, he would rarely look down on the Crait family like this, and he seemed to have a fairly high rank within the church.

The Pope and his close associates are people who look down on even dukes and marquises as if they were subordinates.

“What are you doing now?”

“Calm down, Brunhild. “Because I’m fine.”

Because it wasn’t Brunhilde who couldn’t have seen that action, she started crying and tried to leave, but I stopped her. Why the golden eyes? I gave him a look.

“Your neck has gained as much weight as me. “How hard can it be to talk?”

This time it was the priest’s turn to turn red. A small sound of laughter was heard. The source, of course, was Brunhild.

“...... “What brought you here?”

“What are you going to do?”

The high priest twitched his eyes again. The nuns on both sides also had sad expressions. As expected, they were like b*tches who were clinging to a priest.

“...... “That way we can provide you with an escort.”

“The guy above us was bewitched by a succubus and was causing such a fuss, so if you join us as an escort, we’ll be at ease. And, don’t you know that just looking at your skills, we are at a level where we have to protect you?”

When I spoke while gently scratching my insides as if deliberately provoking him, the veins on his chubby face stood out. Brunhild was giggling softly next to him.

Aftercare? You don’t have to do that. These are things that will all be hung together as a group once the plan is over anyway, so why worry? The church will also choose to cut off their tails rather than save them.

“Yes, priest! “We’re in big trouble!”

Just when the atmosphere was starting to become overheated due to my continued provocations, someone came running in a huff.

“What’s going on?”

Then, the priest, who had tried to control his anger, changed his expression back to arrogant and asked a question. The soldier in charge of the messenger shouted out in panting.

“A dungeon has appeared! That’s also a form of spitting out monsters!”

I quickly got tired of the arrogant face. The priests and nuns lined up behind were buzzing.

Up to this point, everything is as planned. It seemed like Elisiere was doing a good job. I quietly whispered to Brunhild, who was next to me with a serious expression on my face.

“It just worked out well. Let us handle it. Who knows, maybe they’ll say thank you later and make our share of dessert with more care?”

“If you say that, it sounds like you’re just trying to help because of dessert. “You were going to do that even if I didn’t say anything, right?”

Brunhild grunted playfully and nodded. My eyes turned to the priest who seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to escape. Although this was not a situation that was originally planned, it would be right to get rid of those who might be in the way.

“Are you going there too? “It’s an ejection-type dungeon. Wouldn’t it be easier if the most religious high-ranking priest went there in person?”

I was even more fed up with the expression on the priest’s face as his path to escape was blocked by the words that were deliberately thrown with an honorific tone.

‘How will he react if he has to cut off his tail because of me?’

I wish I could stop holding back at least once and attack him.

Because then I can also get the right cause.
