As expected of a Name Hunter in the game, Eileen killed the demons I found one by one with a single blow.

Thanks to that, Jenny and I were able to ride Eileen’s bus without any trouble.

Thank you, Eileen, our bus driver!

Actually, wasn’t she pursuing a different meaning of the term “knight” instead of aspiring to become a driver?

I was having such a silly thought again.

Crunch!

“*Huff*. I defeated them all.”

Eileen completely turned one skeleton into dust.

No, how can you turn a skeleton into dust by cutting it up like that?

“But Eileen, why are you trying so hard to hunt down the demons?”

“Well, I’ve only been training in swordsmanship lately, so I wanted to have some real combat training once in a while.”

‘Do you usually have real combat training against lower level demons?’

Honestly, how much real combat training could you get against lower level demons? Even for Eileen, who has top-notch skills, it seems like it’s just a way to relieve stress rather than actual combat.

As I was struggling to understand, Jenny answered my question.

“She’s addicted to training, so it’s better to just let her do what she wants.”

“Ah… I see. Yeah, that makes sense.”

“•Sigh• Although it’s frustrating to accept with that expression, we have to distinguish between work and personal matters, so I won’t say anything.”

No. What am I doing?!

Although I’m not sure what expression Eileen is making, I think she might be smiling satisfied as she juts said.

“Anyway, isn’t something strange?”

“Huh?”

“What Is strange?”

The two people tilt their heads at my question.

“As far as I know, lower-level demons usually travel in groups. But the ones we found were all alone.”

“…You’re right.”

“Come to think of it, yeah.”

The two also feel that something is off and fall into deep thought with serious expressions.

…Why does something feel ominous?

[Goddess of Destiny asks why you’re so nervous about the future you can also see?]

If I had that kind of ability, I really would be happy.

No. I do have it. It’s just that you have to die to see the future.

Anyway, the ominous premonition spreads throughout my spine, so I turn up the volume just in case.

-Thump. Thump. Thump.

…What’s that? Why is there a sound coming from over there?

There are many demons and students here, so it’s not strange to hear someone walking.

However, the problem is that the sound of footsteps is coming from a place where it shouldn’t be heard.

And it’s not just one or two people, but the sound of several people walking.

…I should check this out.

“I’ll be back in a bit.”

“What?! Where are you….going?”

Eileen looks at me with a worried expression. However, Jenny, who is next to her, notices something and whispers to her with a serious expression.

“It’s obviously. To bathroom.”

“Ah, right….”

By the way, I haven’t adjusted the volume yet, so I accidentally overheard what she was saying.

Eileen blushed with embarrassment as she nodded her head in agreement to Jenny’s words.

“O-Okay. We’ll wait here for you.”

“Okay. I’ll be back soon.”

With that, I used my physical enhancement to run towards the source of the sound.

As I briefly turned my head, the two people stared at me with a look that seemed to say, ‘How urgent was that? Were you holding for a long time?’

…Damn it.

As I ran with my physical enhancement, I finally arrived at the target location where the cult was causing a terrorist attack.

And I looked around just in case.

Hmm. There are no surveillance cameras in this area, as expected.

The location of the surveillance cameras had not changed from the original.

Praying that it wasn’t true, I hid behind a nearby tree and peered out.

Sure enough, members of the cult were wearing reversed black robes and drawing magic circles with demon blood on the ground.

Damn it.

Why? Why did it have to be different from the original?

There was definitely no connection to the current main episode after the duel.

It wasn’t related to Kim Soo-young, and even though I briefly went on a date with Eileen, it had nothing to do with this incident.

But that doesn’t mean I’m involved with the cult….

I lost my train of thought for a moment.

– STAB

Suddenly, a blade pierced through my abdomen.

‘Huh? What’s going on? The cult guys were definitely there, right?’

I turned my head back, wondering who could have done this to me.

“Ha! David Von Kane. Did you really think you could survive after double-crossing the church?”

Ashard, a high-ranking member of the church, stared at me with cold, icy eyes.

Crazy. Why is this guy here? He was undoubtedly in front of me just a moment ago.

I couldn’t understand the situation and turned my head forward.

… Monster.

I thought it was some kind of trick, but it wasn’t. I just got stabbed from behind while lost in my thoughts.

Ashard pulled out his dagger and scattered the blood on the blade onto the ground.

“I never imagined you’d mess up our plans like this, just because of you.”

I wanted to argue back, but I couldn’t muster up the strength to speak.

– Thump!

My body fell to the ground.

It started to get hotter, as if I had a burn in my abdomen.

[Goddess of Destiny says not to die!]

Normally, she that would have lost interest in me once I died started to worry for the first time.

I feel sorry for some reason.

Still, if I just lie here and do nothing, I’ll feel like crap.

I used my physical and mental strengthening while lying down, but the bleeding from my abdomen got worse.

I want to recover with the holy cross, but I have to regress. So, let me just say one last thing before I die!

“You… are struggling even on the brink of death. You’re not the complete loser everyone thinks you are.”

“What did you say? You piece of s*it. Hey, mark this word in your soul. I’ll make sure to send you next to your dead mother next time. So be prepared to bow your head to me.”

With those words, everything went dark.
