Magic Academy Bans Harem

Chapter 112 All Patients
“Hahahahaha, what the hell is this pervert thing? I haven’t seen you for a few days, and you’re so abstract over there!”

During the weekend, the Bathing Goddess disappeared for a few days. After coming online and hearing about what happened in the past few days, she swept away her previous decadence and fatigue, and began to gloat over other people's misfortunes with full energy.

When asked the question "Don't you have any vacation?" as a high school girl, the Bathing Goddess still used the universal answer of tutoring.

And Ritas was very curious about how long the Bathing Goddess could stick to these statements.

"I have heard of rats and cockroaches, but this is the first time I've heard of perverts. Is this a common phenomenon in your place?"

"This is the first time I've heard of this in my life. Besides, there's probably no similar record in history."

Holding his forehead, Ritas sighed and said.

He didn't know whether it was because the existence of "abnormality" often affected a small area, only one city, so it would not be recorded by those recorders. Or was it that he and the city of Spring where he lived were experiencing the first bizarre event since the beginning of the world.

Although Ritas knew that the appearance of "abandoned lottery" was most likely unrelated to the goddess of bathing, he still decided to blame it on the goddess of bathing.

Since he met the Bathing Goddess, the style of his surroundings has become more and more bizarre.
"But it's unfortunate that a mansion like yours where a great wizard and a little swordsman live could be robbed."

"."

Ritas didn't know how to explain it.

It's not like the Sword Master's disciples can hear suspicious noises from a distance of ten miles. It's not like they can sense the presence of strangers as if they have some special ability when they enter the mansion.

That low wall is probably useless to professional thieves.

Therefore, in the eyes of thieves, Courteney's act of hanging clothes in the yard should be the same as throwing those clothes directly on the roadside.

"But Bathing Goddess, hasn't a similar incident happened in the Star Pattern world?"

Ritas asked.

If in the "Star Mark" game world, the hero solved the incident and even found out the identity of "Qi Cai", then he would not mind using his foresight to assist the guards of Spring City and catch the criminal who caused a lot of trouble in the city.

"No, no, this is the only time I can say for sure that there is absolutely no such thing. Because this kind of funny plot, even if it only exists for a short period of time in the game, will become the focus of discussion to a certain extent. Compared with serious topics, these things are more likely to be talked about with relish."

Compared to her own memory and exploration of the game, the goddess of bathing obviously has more confidence in the player group of this game.

"So, if you ask me, this 'abandoned lottery' is probably caused by you. You see, those characters who didn't appear in the game, such as Levis, 'that person', Tabatha, etc., basically appeared because of you."

So, why did John become an existence that cannot even be mentioned by name?
Does the Bathing Goddess think that she is very emotionally intelligent?
Ritas complained in his mind and found that he and the Bathing Goddess had the same thoughts to some extent.

He thought his "perversion" was the Bathing Goddess' fault, while the Bathing Goddess thought it was his problem.

"Ah! Shit. I suddenly realized something. What should I do? If this continues, I might end up providing useful information. What will happen to my character image?"

"Oh? Did the Bathing Goddess deliberately provide useless information in the past?"

Ritas asked teasingly.

“Hey, of course I did it on purpose. How could a goddess like me be so useless? I was just teasing you before~”

Even though she could hear the sarcasm in Ritas' words, the goddess of bathing was still able to climb up the pole. After a moment of pride, she began her story.

"Look, you attracted that pervert, right? And among the people you know, there shouldn't be anyone who became a 'discarded', right? Because, even if there is a slight impression, you can remember it. In other words, it was some indirect reasons related to you, such as some of your actions, that led to the appearance of the 'discarded'."

"Well, I've seen most of your actions over the past few months. So, I also have a general idea of which of your actions will lead to 'changes'. From the conclusion, after eliminating many factors, I think 'Qi Cai' is very likely a member of the 'Dark Enchantment'!"

Listening to the words of the Bathing Goddess, Ritas, who had not had any expectations at first, gradually opened his eyes wide.

Although the Bathing Goddess's logic is quite strong, and a lot of references are "off-site information", but just talking about this conclusion, Ritas thinks it is very likely to be correct.

It was precisely to invite Ritas that the "Dark Elves", who had been keeping a low profile in the "Star Mark" world until the third year, would frequently send out strange messengers and maintain a certain degree of activity around him.

As for the reason for excluding the other three organizations, it is simply a matter of style.

The styles of the "Trickery Society" and the "Beast Empire" are easy to identify. Now that Ritas has made an agreement with the "Star People", the "Forgotten Temple", which is likely to have a close relationship with the "Star People", has no reason to send out a pervert like "Abandoned Color" to attract the attention of the whole city in a short period of time.

"'Darkspawn'. So it turns out to be a perverted organization?"

Ritas Miski Berengrom, who received the invitation from the "Dark Descendant", asked in a slightly trembling voice.

"Well, I don't know how to describe it. Rather than saying they are perverts, I feel like they are more like a group of patients, a group of people with real problems in their brains. Therefore, their mid-level bosses have characters of different styles. The crazy 'Professor of Magic', the fairy-tale-style 'Bedtime Reading', and the serial killer 'Sunny Day Butcher'."

Compared with the last discussion, the Bathing Goddess mentioned a special character from the "Dark Indigen" organization.

Then, the Bathing Goddess took the opportunity to talk about what she could recall.

To some extent, the plot flows between the "Dark Enchantments" organization and the protagonists in the "Star Mark" world are the most unique.

As for other organizations, the protagonists vaguely discovered that there was a group of people causing trouble.

For example, the Dark Ceremony will hold rituals there, the Beast Empire will make the surrounding mazes, monsters, etc. become out of control and violent, the Forgotten Temple will try to kidnap the Star Mark holders, etc.

Then, while the protagonists are solving these problems, they gradually uncover the conspiracies of those organizations, and eventually develop into the revival of the Demon King and saving the world.

The only thing is that the situation with the Darkin is very subtle.

All the events of their main members are relatively independent. Some are serial killers in the city. Some are burning the elf kingdom. Some are attacking the magic academy exchange meeting. Some are stealing national treasures.

Moreover, all these events happened suddenly and continuously in a short period of time without any warning.

While the protagonists were busy running around, they suddenly realized that there was another group of "Darkborn" who occupied the academy and wanted to revive the Demon King.
In simple terms, other organizations are united in their efforts for the ultimate goal, and they only execute one plan from beginning to end. But the Darkborn seem to be executing ten completely unrelated plans at the same time, and the resurrection of the Demon King is just one of the ten plans, and it just happened to succeed.

As an organization, they were extremely disorganized. The coordination between them was basically just "other members were doing things in various places on the mainland, diverting the attention of the protagonists".

"An organization composed entirely of 'patients'?"

Ritas frowned slightly.

According to the description of the Bathing Goddess, whether the members of the "Darkborn" organization can work together is not mentioned for the moment. Judging from their hard power alone, they are undoubtedly the most powerful of the four organizations.

Since "plot arrangement" and "balance" are things that only exist in the game world, the Bathing Goddess may not feel it very well.

However, when other organizations are eager to put their entire armies on the chessboard to fight against the protagonists, the appearance of a mid-level boss of "Darkborn" can have the same effect, which already means a lot.

"Back to 'Abandoned'. If he is really a patient who was driven here from the 'Darkborn' just to recruit you, do you think he is the 'Professor of Magic'?"

"Why do you say that? Do they look alike?"

As Ritas spoke, he moved the paper with the "Abandoned Color" portrait on the table to a more conspicuous position.

Although the "qicai" thief has not been caught yet and there are few traces at the crime scene, there are still witnesses.

First, the second perverted behavior of "Qi Cai" is to discuss "philosophical" things with young men in dark alleys where few people go. Although "Qi Cai" disguised himself in this process, most of the time he wore a mask that covered most of his face. However, after many times, he was able to restore a certain appearance through description.

Secondly, when he was performing the first perverted behavior, he was repeatedly seen by passers-by running around on the rooftop carrying a large amount of women's clothing.

"Well, it's a bit like that, but it's also not like that. They all hide their true faces, so who knows what kind of monsters are under those masks. I have this guess, but it's not because of their appearance. If Qicai wants to appear in two completely different places at almost the same time, he must know the art of clones, which is probably teleportation. And these two things happen to be the skills of the Professor of Magic."

"Also, after you said that teleportation and teleportation are difficult to achieve from a worldview perspective, I thought about it carefully. Apart from the last Demon King, it seems that only the 'Professor of Magic' has demonstrated teleportation-like actions."

Listening to the Bathing Goddess's reasoning, Ritas was silent for a while, then spoke.

"I think the mystery of 'Abandoned Color' is easier to solve than imagined. He may actually be two or three people. This is why he has committed many different crimes. Apart from anything else, two kinds of perverted behaviors, one targeting men and one targeting women, are really too contradictory. As for the reason for the same appearance, there should be more twins and triplets in this world than beings with the ability of 'clone' or 'teleportation'."

"Ah, now that you put it that way, it does make a lot more sense. Eh? Then why did the Guard Knights insist on counting Abandoned as one person? Could it be that their intelligence is really that much lower than yours?"

The Bathing Goddess asked in confusion.

Not to mention Ritas, the Bathing Goddess felt that even she could come up with a similar and reasonable inference after thinking carefully for a while.

Could it be that everyone in the other world except Ritas is a fool?
"Perhaps the Guard Knights have evidence that we don't know about that can prove their theory. Or perhaps, they are simply spreading false information to induce the Abandoned Trio to let down their guard. Or even, to think negatively, the Knights feel that since there are criminals who are destined to be impossible to catch, or who cannot be caught in a short period of time, it is much better to have only one than three."

Ritas said, shaking his head.

“Tsk, it’s just speculation, but it makes me angry. Could it be that in the end, the Knights don’t need to actually catch ‘Qi Cai’, but only need the fact that ‘Qi Cai’ stops committing crimes and that they have indeed caught a criminal!”

The goddess of bathing thought about it. It has been a while since the appearance of "Abandoned Color". And the guard knights of Spring City have been helpless. Therefore, in order to suppress the situation, whether it is the situation she said or the situation described by Ritas, it is possible that it will happen.

"Well, what do you think, Professor Kosato? Since the Guard Knights are unreliable, why don't you challenge yourself and capture the Abandoned Ones yourself? If they are really the Darkspawn members you lured, you will have found a breakthrough."

Hoping to have a fun weekend, the Bathing Goddess tries to assign a task to Ritas.

After thinking for a while, Ritas neither accepted the task nor refused it.

“If I have the chance, I won’t avoid them on purpose. However, whether it’s thieves or guards, they are all professionals in their respective fields. I don’t think I can do better than them.”

If it weren't for the "Dark Enchantress" incident, Ritas originally wouldn't have wanted to get involved.

Even Courteney, who had lost her clothes, didn't care, and just kept asking for new clothes. He didn't lose anything, so he naturally didn't have the leisure to play detective games.

But if he really brought that group of people here, then even if he doesn't want to intervene, he will be dragged into it sooner or later.

"Don't worry, I've read a lot of detective works, and I can think of more than 30 ways to kill a person in a locked room with my eyes closed! So, with the help of a more professional detective like me, I'm sure we can easily catch the 'abandoned' one. So, Assistant Kosato, where should we investigate first?"

". Academy, Courteney and I are planning to meet the students of the seminar. Also, there are victims of 'abandonment' in the Yewwood class."

Ritas didn't lose anything, so it was even more impossible for the Bathing Goddess to lose anything. Therefore, Ritas didn't understand where the Bathing Goddess's enthusiasm came from.

“Eh!? Who, who was victimized! Was it my wife? Or was it Iris? Was it Charlotte? Or Sylvie!?”

The Bathing Goddess asked nervously.

"It's Miriam and Grenville."

Ritas filled in the "menu menu" of the bathing goddess, the only two names that were missed.

"Grenville, I heard that he encountered the second type of 'abandonment' while working. Well, in the process of exploring 'philosophy', he seemed to have suffered a huge blow."

Ritas couldn't help but sigh in his heart, why did Grenville always encounter tragic things?
"As for Miriam. All his clothes were stolen."

As he spoke, Ritas's expression became subtle and strange.
