This is for the sake of caution

"I'm telling you, what exactly do you want by following me around all day long?"

Rogge looked down at Ira, who was sitting on the ground.

Ever since the day Ira was taken to the infirmary, this guy has become a shadow, always hiding in a corner and spying on him.

Roger didn't care about having this little tail following him around.

But the first plot point of failure is about to arrive, and this loose end must be dealt with.

"Just say what you have to say, don't try to hide from me."

"Can I really say anything?"

Iraq looked up at Rogge, her eyes shining.

Without waiting for Rogge's reply, he bowed to Rogge.

"Brother Roger, please accept me as your younger brother. I want to follow in your footsteps and become a true man like you."

It turns out that on that evening, when Rogue beat up the Celestial Trio, Ira had not yet completely lost consciousness.

He witnessed the entire process of Rogge's righteous punishment and imprinted it firmly in his mind.

When he woke up in the infirmary, he immediately realized that it was Roger who had saved him.

Thus, under the sublimation of feelings of admiration and gratitude, he automatically filled in the blanks in his mind that Rogge was a great hero in the ancient fairy tales that circulated in the streets, who was not afraid of power, dared to fight, and fought for the world.

"The idea of ​​mortals fighting against the Celestials is something that only exists in forbidden fairy tales. Brother Roger is undoubtedly the great hero described in those fairy tales!"

Are you kidding me?

Roger's lips twitched slightly.

Unfortunately, he wasn't some great hero fighting for the world, but rather a great demon king dedicated to destroying the world.

"Speaking of which, you actually peeked at forbidden books. If I report you to the Truth Cult now, you'll be finished when the Inquisitor arrives!"

There exists a Church of Truth in this world that advocates love and peace and combats heresy and superstition.

In order to maintain world order and stability, the Truth Cult, together with the royal family, created a list of banned books, strictly prohibiting the dissemination of books and picture albums that endanger world order.

Anyone caught peeping at or distributing banned books will face heresy trial by the Truth Cult.

There is a reward for reporting.

However, no one has claimed the prize under their real name yet.

"Brother Roger is a great hero, how could he possibly report me..."

Upon hearing about the trial of heretics, Ira immediately shrank back and cowered.

That's a being that even celestial nobles would fear.

"In short, the great hero you're talking about, I'm not, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense."

Rogge didn't want to be targeted by the Inquisition prematurely because of something like this.

He glanced at Ira.

"If you want to seek refuge from the Celestials' oppression, wouldn't it be better to go to the Third Prince?"

In her predetermined fate, Ira became the third prince's loyal follower, thus avoiding being targeted by the Celestial Nobles.

Rogge, however, refused to submit to the royal family and was ostracized and discriminated against by the Celestial Nobles.

"But I would rather be like Brother Roger, self-reliant and strong, and record and spread his great achievements."

As he spoke, Ira presented a notebook with both hands.

Roger picked up the notebook and took a look.

"On [Date], the great hero Rogge won first place in the school competition against the Holy Sword Maiden..."

"On [Date], the great hero Rogge, outnumbered but outgunned, subdued the four Celestial Nobles..."

"On [Date], the great hero Rogge angrily rebuked Princess Lingsa for her foolishness and ignorance..."

"..."

Roger was speechless.

He himself was unaware that he had done these things.

It's all written in a subtle, euphemistic style.

"I'll confiscate this notebook for now."

Roger promptly confiscated the notebook to prevent it from getting out and causing big trouble later.

He turned to look at Iraq, lost in thought.

Ira's ability to enter Class One despite being an ordinary citizen speaks volumes about his exceptional talent.

He had also read banned books.

It might be very useful in investigating the Demon Sword of Sin.

So he reached out towards Yila.

"I don't take on followers, nor do I tolerate being followed. If you really want to become a real man, then interact with me like a normal classmate, instead of sneaking around. Also, you're not allowed to remember these things anymore."

"Then, can I learn from Brother Roger?"

"It depends on my mood."

"That's great! Brother Roger, please guide me in the future!"

Ira was overjoyed and reached out to shake Rogge's hand.

In that instant, a strange sense of unease suddenly arose in Roger's heart.

Ira's affection for you has exceeded a certain threshold.

You have made your first acquaintance with a Royal Academy student.

[Note: The more students you connect with, the higher the final evaluation of the task objective will be.]

……

Having temporarily dealt with Ira, Rogge, who had no classes in the afternoon, was finally able to leave the academy and meet up with his alien subordinates.

They take action under the true identity of a descendant of a sinful race.

He walked through the bustling streets, and after wandering around, he arrived at the front of an ordinary family's house.

Roger knocked on the door.

Soon, a plump woman in her forties opened the door and rushed out.

"My dear nephew, you've finally decided to come back to see your aunt!"

She gave Roger a big bear hug, making him completely sink into her body.

Then they forcibly dragged them into a small dark room.

"Stop! That's enough!"

Roger quickly patted the other person on the back.

He was being held tightly in the other person's arms, and he felt like he was suffocating.

The woman took a deep, greedy breath before reluctantly letting go.

"OK."

Her voice, which had been rough before, was now clear and melodious, like a bell.

Roger looked up and saw the old woman from before vanish into starlight butterflies.

Instead, a proper and well-mannered white-haired maid took her place.

"Your Highness Rogge, welcome back."

The white-haired maid lifted the hem of her skirt and gracefully bowed to Rogge.

Its fluffy fox ears twitched slightly, and its bushy fox tail stood up high.

She is one of the four top executives under Roger, the fox spirit Shulan.

"I already said there's no need for all this fancy formalities."

Roger waved his hand.

The criminal race is to other races what the royal family is to humans.

Strictly speaking, as a descendant of the Sin Clan, Rogue held a noble status among the alien races and could even be called the Sin King of the alien races.

However, Rogge felt that he was merely a figurehead with no real achievements and was unwilling to become king.

"Instead of this, could you please not be so exaggerated next time? You hugged me so tightly that it made it hard for me to breathe."

"No, that would create a strong contrast with my personality, making it impossible to tell that it's the same person."

Shulan answered calmly.

Roger glanced at Shulan.

Indeed, it's hard to imagine that the usually serious and proper maid and that enthusiastic and outgoing middle-aged woman are the same person.

"But is it necessary? The difference in appearance is already quite significant."

"This is just to be on the safe side."

"……All right."

Roger didn't pay much attention and changed the subject.

"Where are the others?"

"They are already in the Hall of Sin, awaiting Your Highness's arrival."

Shulan controlled the mechanism, opening a dark, secret passage leading underground.

Roger followed Shulan through the secret passage.

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly the view opened up before me.

What comes into view is a huge underground ruin, surrounded by crumbling walls that have not been repaired and retain an ancient and profound historical atmosphere.

Judging from the remaining massive pillars and fragmented murals, this place must have once been a magnificent palace complex.

Rogge possesses the memories of the fragments of fate and is fairly familiar with the ruins where they are hiding.

Without needing Shulan to lead the way, he went directly to the dilapidated Sin Hall in the very center.

Passing through the tall doors of the Hall of Sin, one enters a hall furnished with a round stone table.

At this moment, the other three cadres were already seated around the round table, waiting for Rogge's arrival.
