Chapter 19: The Mastermind and the Truth

"Owh, Lucia you're home."

Two people who looked like kings and queens appeared to approach the two.

"Mom and Dad are here."

The king cleared his throat.

"Call us kings and queens if anyone else is."

Adi interrupted.

"I don't mind at all."

"Ara, who's this young man what's your boyfriend?"

"He's my friend's mother, his name's Adi."

His mother was crying while his father was smiling faintly. Both should have known about Adi from a man named Edgar.

"Our daughter who never had a friend brought her friend home, this should be celebrated."

"Let's have a party of three days and three nights to celebrate."

Anything with this family, Adi said in his heart.

"Let's go in, we'd better be at the dinner table right now," said the king leading everyone to where he said he was.

"Adi also knew his older brother, even though he attended the Academy he was also an adventurer."

"Know Alicia? I'm not just gonna give up my daughter."

"Dad, he didn't try to propose to her? Calm yourself."

"I just want to say that once in a while."

"I'm sorry, but my family's like this. Well, I don't think they're the leaders of this kingdom."

"I can see that."

Adi was not bothered in the slightest by that, it was just that the warm feeling in the dining room like this was what he had always wanted. Sometimes Adi would go to Riho's house just to be able to enjoy dinner like this.

"Then is there a certain purpose until you who are an adventurer go to the academy at a time like this?"

"Master Edgar should've talked it over with you."

"I expected it."

Lucia looked at the king and Adi with a cynical look.

"What are you guys really talking about?"

"Little girl shouldn't interfere in adult men's affairs, quickly finish your food."

"I'm not a little girl anymore."

After eating the queen brought Lucia to leave the king and Adi who was only two in the room.

"I've heard everything from Edgar, thank you for wanting to investigate the academy, he said you're just a few people who can be trusted to do so."

"Not a problem."

"For a leader of the Shadow Hunter, you're quite humble."

Mesna cut immediately.

(At first I thought he was a stupid king, I didn't think he knew your identity)

(It is likely that one of them had previously met the king)

"I didn't investigate you or anything, before we had trouble on the front lines when the demon lord's army attacked, a man named Furniture appeared and he helped us to beat them back, he said, I just asked who the leader was and he immediately told me that it was a man named Adi."

In this conversation it is clear that once in a while the king also participates in the fight, he may not actually be a king who can only rule in his seat.

"Furniture too careless to give my name."

"Don't worry, I'm the only one who knows.I gave him 5,000 gold coins instead."

(So, with that much money, it will be helpful to increase Shadow Hunter operational funds in the future)

Adi chose not to bring it up further, only the king might it not be a problem, after all Adi is not a crime organization that threatens the state. He was just someone who wanted to save the world in his own way.

"So what brings you close to my daughter?"

"What do you mean?"

Vern surprisingly appeared near Adi and then he dropped the person on the floor whose hands had been slashed neatly.

"Sorry sir, this man is about to kill himself."

"Is he Demonic?" ask the king who Vern answered quickly.

"No, he's just a regular guy working for them. I've been interrogating him but he has no information except for the person who gave the mission to him, I cut off his hand because he wanted to kill himself because of the magic effect of someone, he said, at least with this guy we can tell who broke into the academy."

The guards appeared and took him to the basement. Vern himself disappeared after his task was completed.

Adi started with the information he wanted to ask.

"Is there anything different about Lucia?"

"Lucia was a disciple of the previous hero, it was likely that they thought that Lucia was a threat to them in the future."

Adi is not very familiar with the hero who was sent before, from what Mesna said she was a woman from another country.

"Rinko Hoshimiya."

"True, he used to visit this kingdom and teach Lucia some sword techniques, we did allow him to practice but we did not intend to put him in a real fight, it's weird that they're after him, too."

"I think the devil is so afraid of his name as a hero even to those around him."

The king confirmed with a nod.

Hoshimiya Rinko is said to have mysteriously disappeared, many people say that she is dead and others say she ran away from the demon lord. All the information becomes overlapping with each other.

"It's best to provide an escort to Lucia as well."

"I think so."

Adi decided to leave the palace immediately, and Vern was waiting for him at the gate.

"Sir."

"Give all Shadow Hunter units to search for Hoshimiya Rinko's whereabouts, and for the one who infiltrated the academy we end them."

"Good."

From the names previously given to Adi, two of them are Demonic.

The next day the previously built stage had been completed in two days, it was a short time how big this place was made.

Adi showed a troubled face.

"They're really staying up late to finish it, preferably Vern's appearance should satisfy everyone instead."

Vern himself had been standing on the stage in twinkling clothes with a microphone in his hand, he started greeting everyone and playing himself in real idol mode.

"Thanks to everyone I can stand on this stage, it's been incredible. As a thank you, listen to the song Vern wrote himself, enjoy."

Music was played along with Vern's energetic and mesmerizing dance, everyone was hysterically shouting in their own way, some carrying banners also bearing his name.

"Truly festive, Vern is good at entertaining people."

"He is an idol."

Yorin in tight clothes appeared while dragging two students in his hands, of course both of them had been shot dead by Adi's rifle, he was only in charge of cleaning everything.

"Who knows the mastermind of the man's previous murder?"

"If we don't get information from his followers I think it's very difficult to figure it out."

Adi walked away from Yorin with a gun in his hand that had just been filled with bullets. He opened the principal's door and found him sitting in his chair quietly.

"Who would have guessed that the principal was the mastermind."

"True, the people I have are all useless.but I've told the center that you're a threat, should Demonic or demon be chasing you later."

"That's not going to happen, because everyone knows that I'm only a level 8 adventurer."

Adi threw a grenade under us the man, when it exploded, the headmaster was thrown outside the building before falling to the ground.

Adi followed while pointing his gun.

"It's over."

Bullets pierced his body from all directions.
