The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy-Chapter 258: The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy

Diana was still staring at Robolt's ring on my finger.

My Adam's apple bobbed up and down like a wave.

I couldn't think of anything to say.

What was Diana feeling right now?

'Betrayal? Maybe even murderous intent.'

Sytan's instructor had sided with a mere half-demon instead of the next Demon Lord candidate.

It was enough to make Diana furious.

But there was a way to get out of this situation.

'Right now, I'm on Diana's side.'

The Headmaster.

She was standing behind Diana.

So, as long as I agreed to cooperate with the Headmaster...

Diana couldn't touch me.

Diana stared at me silently, a smile on her face. But it was a chilling sight.

'She must be suspicious.'

Suspicion.

The doubt in her expression.

But even if Diana was suspicious, there was nothing she could do.

I hadn't done anything wrong yet.

That meant I hadn't stopped any of the plans Diana was going to carry out.

So,

"Do you have anything to say? You seem quite interested in this ring."

"……."

Diana's eyes narrowed further.

But within those narrowed eyes,

I was sure there was a thick, murderous intent that could tear me apart a thousand times.

Yes, I was certain.

Otherwise,

"Rene, look at that. I guess he got matching rings with Pinky. Showing off their love already. Hey, Mr. Escort, school is for studying."

"……Is that true?"

She wouldn't say that in front of Rene…….

Or would she?

Was she always like this?

If so, that was a problem in itself.

I gritted my teeth inwardly and turned my gaze to Hansel, who was staring at me blankly.

"A, a half-demon talking so peacefully with Lady Diana……."

She seemed impressed by something, but I didn't want to react, so I went straight to the point.

Ha.

I really didn't want to do this.

"I'll do it."

"What do you mean?"

"That half-demon club, I'll join it."

"R, really?!"

Hansel's eyes widened.

She was so happy that she was about to cheer, so I quickly covered her mouth with my hand.

"Mmm! Mmm……!"

"……Please be quiet. The other students are staring at us."

That's right.

With the next Demon Lord candidate Diana, the descendant of the controversial Bares family, Rene, and me, a somewhat famous figure in Sytan, it was natural to attract attention.

"Oh my, that guy never stops bothering other students."

"Look at that, covering the mouth of a young girl like that…… He looks creepy, and his actions are just as……."

Damn it.

I quickly removed my hand from Hansel's mouth.

Maybe she was trying to get my hand off, but my palm was soaked with her saliva.

And Hansel, who was getting angry.

"What was that for?!"

Her face flushed red, and he fumed.

Oh, come on.

I was speechless when suddenly, Rene looked at Hansel with a cold expression.

"If you're going to get angry, get angry at me."

"Y, yes?"

Hansel stuttered again, selling her noble way of speaking.

This guy is a typical classist.

Should I really join a club with someone like her?

But I had no choice.

"Huh? Mr. Escort, why do you keep looking at me? It's embarrassing."

"……It's nothing."

I turned my head away and continued my thoughts.

The fact that Diana had approved the creation of the club.

There must be some kind of conspiracy behind it.

This wasn't just the creation of an ordinary club.

It was the creation of a club for half-demons.

The fact that Diana allowed this was a contradiction in itself.

'What is she planning?'

Besides, there was one more thing I couldn't overlook.

'If she's talking about the pink-haired girl, she must mean Luna.'

Luna.

She was a member of the half-demon club.

And Diana told me about it.

That meant Diana had me by the throat.

Damn it.

I bit my lower lip.

I couldn't refuse now, even if I hated it.

I looked at Diana and said the best thing I could.

"I hope you won't lay a finger on her."

"Huh? I don't know what you're talking about."

"……Hansel, let's go."

"Where are you going? Hey, wait up!"

I narrowed my eyes and ignored Diana, who was laughing as if she didn't know what I was talking about, and started walking.

Hansel followed behind me.

"……."

Rene just watched me walk away.

* * *

On the way to the half-demon club room to join the club.

"Sir Adel, why were you so rude to Lady Diana?"

"……I have my reasons."

"Huh, I don't know what happened between you and Lady Diana, but she's not a bad person. I'm sure there's a misunderstanding on your part, Adel."

Misunderstanding?

Misunderstanding?!

I couldn't just punch her.

My fists trembled with rage, but I let out a deep sigh and rubbed my forehead.

Patience.

Yes, I have to be patient.

I couldn't do anything to Diana before she did anything to them.

As I was suppressing my anger, Hansel suddenly stopped walking.

"We're here!"

This is it.

The place where Diana's scheme begins.

I looked at the shabby club room with a small sign that read 'Half-Demon Club'.

"Come on, let's go in."

"No, I get it, so stop pushing."

Why is this little kid so strong?

Ugh.

I was dragged into the half-demon club room by Hansel's hand.

Inside the club room, I saw signs that said 'Adel is cool', 'Adel, hooray', and many members hiccuped when they saw me.

All of them were half-demons.

'Those were their doing, huh.'

I had already guessed, but I felt embarrassed for some reason.

I felt like I was going to die of shame!

The sudden presence of a popular figure caused a stir among the half-demon club members.

"Whoa, jackpot. It's Adel. The Bloodthirsty Killer Adel."

"Am I dreaming?"

I seemed to have acquired some grand title.

The students were hesitant to approach me as if I were some kind of celebrity.

In that situation, Hansel stepped forward and spoke.

"Now, now, everyone calm down. I have some great news today."

"What great news? It's probably just another trivial story."

"Heh."

Hansel smirked at a student's mockery.

A shocking announcement came out of her mouth.

"Student Adel has become a member of our half-demon club starting today!"

"What?"

"Is that true?"

The half-demon students' eyes widened at Hansel's words.

The ones who couldn't even approach me before came closer and started to examine my features.

"Wow, is this a dream or reality?"

"Awesome, Adel is handsome up close."

"I dare not speak the name of the Bloodthirsty Killer……!"

From comments about my appearance to the appearance of what seemed to be my fan!

It was pure chaos.

Then, I made eye contact with a girl and gasped.

That girl is,

"……Luna?"

"Don't say my name."

Luna snapped at me.

The half-demon club members' gazes turned to us.

Hansel approached me.

"Student Adel, I have a question for you."

"……What is it?"

"Is it true? This has become a huge topic even among us half-demons."

"What are you talking about?"

"The public confession."

"……!"

I flinched.

Both Luna and I flinched at the same time.

"It's a fact known to all students of Sytan that Student Adel made a public confession to Luna in the auditorium. But there are those who doubt its sincerity."

"I'm one of them. There's no way the Bloodthirsty Killer Adel would do something like a public confession just because he's crazy about a girl."

Why is this being brought up again?

I felt a cold sweat run down my spine.

I closed my eyes at the chilling sensation and opened my mouth.

"I never did that."

"So you're saying you don't have any feelings for Luna, and it's okay if another guy dates her? Something like that?"

No, this guy.

He had to use that analogy.

"You heartless bastard?"

And the finishing touch.

An awkward silence filled the air.

I glanced at Luna.

Twitch, twitch.

Luna, who had turned her head away, was wiggling her ears as if she was eavesdropping on the conversation.

What is this?

What is this situation?

My head felt dizzy from the sudden turn of events.

It seemed that the issue between Luna and me had become a great source of gossip among the half-demon students, as all the members in the club room were glancing at us.

'This is…….'

The pressure was so immense that it made my previous conversation with Diana feel like nothing.

I felt like biting my nails off.

Then.

'……What's that?'

Something caught my eye.

Pendants hanging around the necks of the half-demon club members.

It was definitely an unfamiliar symbol, but it felt strangely familiar.

It was as if an alarm bell was ringing in my head.

I approached Hansel and spoke.

"What's this?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? More importantly, the answer to this question……"

Ignoring Hansel's words, I asked again.

"Where did you get these necklaces?"

I wasn't trying to get out of this situation.
