I'll Make It a Bad Ending Like a Villain

At his words, Carmen’s brows narrowed.

It was hard to fathom why Huey was smiling like he was having fun.

Isn’t it the same that a drug that would have been completed without difficulty would take such a long time?

There was a big difference between the potions he made and the drugs he manufactured in the lab.

Huey’s potion had a temporary expansive effect, while the drugs studied at the military academy were not as effective as the potion, but they were quite long-lasting.

What’s more, the biggest disadvantage of the potions used by Huey was the exorbitant cost.

Even though it was a military academy sponsored by the imperial palace, it could not afford to buy and experiment with his drugs every time.

What’s more, he knew that the imperial palace had also made deals with Huey on several occasions. So there was a good chance they already had the right amount of potions.

The imperial palace’s reason for sponsoring the military academy was to develop a different way of wagoning.

One of them was the combat weapon of the demon that had been studied for a long time. In fact, this experiment was stopped a long time ago due to a backlash from the Japanese people, but it has recently been revived.

Through various newspapers, the imperial palace explained how the military academy’s drug experiments were being conducted in the right way and how much importance it placed on the demon’s right to respect for life.

He also added great ambitions about how the experiment will protect the people of Alvar.

People who have been exposed to these media have reached a point where their belief in the military academy drug experiments has grown rather than antipathy.

Of course, there were negative reactions, but more people expressed confidence.

Carmen opened her mouth, looking at Huey quietly.

“What do you mean?”

At the seriousness of his voice, Huey shrugged lightly and said:

“No, because I think the people in the lab are deceiving you.”

Carmen’s expression wrinkled at the nonchalant sound of his voice.

“The people in the lab are deceiving me…, what do you mean?”

Huey, who had been staring at his face intently, said in a low voice:

“The original monster in the kennel.”

“Are you talking about the guy who killed Lord Fieldman until he got out of control? I know that the monster has already been dealt with at the military academy, but…”

“You sent him to the freezer? Did you know?”

“Yes, I was told I couldn’t handle it and that I was going to be sent underground.”

Carmen, who had been answering Huey’s words plainly, suddenly frowned.

It was a monster that had been kept for research, but it had never been successfully tested, so we had to see if it reacted to behavior-modifying drugs.

But why did they send the monster to the freezer right away?

Had there ever been a report that he was going to have a behavior control drug in his hand?

Not. Of all the documents, I never received a report on him.

The demons that succeeded in the study were given increasingly large doses of fortified drugs, so resistance was easily established.

So the behavior control injections didn’t work, and they ended up being sent to the freezer.

On the other hand, demons that failed to experiment with fortified drugs were not easily resistant because they were always injected in a certain amount on time.

There were some guys who had some behavioral control injections work.

Of course, this high-level demon has already died and revived many times due to Huey, so there is a high probability that it will not be able to control its behavior.

That said, it would have been foolish not to even try the injection.

He was the most powerful of the other high-ranking monsters in the kennel, so it was a shame to send him to the freezer as it was.

If the behavior control succeeds with a very small probability, it might have been better to use it as a research demon because it is a bigger guy than the others.

But why was it sent straight to the freezer?

It’s as if behavioral control drugs don’t work.

Carmen’s expression hardened more and more, and Huey, who had been staring at him curiously in front of him, raised her lips.

“Maybe the experiment with a fortified drug administered to a high-level monster has already been successful.”

Carmen’s eyes lit up as she looked at him.

The fact that the advanced demon had succeeded in the experiment meant that the moment Carmen had been waiting for had arrived.

He waited for the success of his drug experiments to reform the military academy.

As much as Weaver didn’t dare to touch it, it was going to get the academy out of control.

And blame all the events on Weaver.

He intended to show the results of such an elaborate and long-term experiment on monsters and completely destroy Weaver’s status.

Or it would be a fun sight to see the incompetent Weaver die a gruesome death at the hands of a demon he used as a test subject.

Carmen’s hands on the table clenched into fists and trembled.

“I’m going to have to investigate the researchers right away and get the drug report back.”

Carmen stood up and tried to approach the researchers, but Huey narrowed his brows.

“It’s not like you’re trying to hide the outcome because you’ve already noticed it from above.”

Carmen looked back at Huey, her expression contorted, then she let out a heavy breath and sat down again.

Huey, who had been quietly scanning him in front of him, spoke slowly.

“Are you really going to destroy the whole academy?”

At his direct question, Carmen turned her gaze and looked inside the lab.

Fortunately, the researchers paid little attention to the room they were in.

Carmen groaned coldly.

“You don’t mean to come and betray me, do you?”

Huey said, raising his lips.

“Don’t worry, I’m a very good promise-keeping person.”

Carmen’s face grimaced at his nonchalant voice.

“If the academy is destroyed, you’ll have an easier time getting into the forest of hallucinations.”

“…… Let me see. Even now, I’m not really going through the hallucinatory forest.”

Huey replied in a muffled voice, and Carmen pulled up the black band she was wearing on my wrist and brought it in front of him.

Then an X-mark was drawn over the thick skin.

Carmen gritted her teeth and spat out the words.

“Don’t forget that if you terminate the contract at will, this mark will follow you for the rest of your life!”

Hearing him, Huey pretended to be surprised with an exaggerated gesture.

“Child, be afraid.”

Carmen glared at him fiercely.

But Huey stood up with a nonchalant look on his face, walked over to the glass door, and arranged his hair.

“Is Filina in class?”

Muttering to himself, he quickly walked away and left the lab entirely.

Carmen, who looked disapprovingly at the spot where Huey had disappeared, shifted her gaze to the researchers who were working on the experiment.

I could see the corners of his mouth faintly rising.

“…… It won’t be long before Weaver’s place is mine.”

After class, she went into the dormitory building. As I walked up the stairs to where her room was, there was a familiar figure at the door.

It was none other than Ian’s escort.

Filina’s expression hardened.

No way, Ian entered my room again.

Sure enough, the escort spotted her and bowed her head slightly. Philina greeted him and walked to the front of my room.

As she was about to grab the doorknob, the escort driver spoke to her in a cautious voice.

“I have something to tell you for a moment.”

Philina turned her head in wonder.

“What’s going on?”

In response to her question, the escort driver was silent for a moment, as if he was troubled. Then, every once in a while, he glanced at Philina’s room, as if he were catching Ian’s eyes.

She moved her foot from the doorway to the other side. It was right next to the escort driver.

“Oh, thank you.”

He bowed his head slightly and said to her:

Philina dropped the body that stood in front of the door, so that he wouldn’t look at Ian, and he would speak comfortably.

“What’s going on?”

Filina asked, furrowing her brow. Then the escort driver let out a small sigh and opened his mouth in a worried voice.

“Not because of anything else, but because Your Highness has been in a very low mood lately. I’m telling you in advance because I’m afraid you’re going to say something bad to Philina.”

At his words, Filina asked, looking puzzled.

“Why is your Highness in a low mood?”

At her question, the escort driver paused for a moment. Then he glanced at Philina’s visit and spoke slowly.

“I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this, but I think it’s because of the rumors that have been circulating in the Alvar Empire lately.”

“Rumors?”

“Oh, I don’t know you because you’re at the military academy.”

He smiled embarrassedly and averted his gaze. When Filina didn’t seem to know about the rumors, she said she wouldn’t talk about it.

He had probably had many indirect encounters with Filina because of Ian, so he had spoken to her intimately without even realizing it.

Filina pulled her lips up faintly.

“Can you tell me what the rumors are? If your Highness is offended by this, I would like to comfort you as a gesture of friendship, as I have known you for many years.”

At the sound of her gentle voice, the escort driver was troubled for a moment.

Then Philina tilted her head at an angle and shouted once more.

“The escort driver is also in a lot of trouble. Our Venerable His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used to react sensitively to anything he was in a bad mood when he was a child. The escort driver who was closest to me was probably the hardest.”

At the sound of her friendly voice, the escort driver opened his mouth with a sullen face.

“No, I don’t. I was just doing my job.”

“The escort’s job is to protect the owner, not to make him feel good.”

“Well, that’s but—”

The escort driver curled his lips and turned his head. Apparently, Ian had a lot of things piled up.

Filina looked at him sadly.

“Oh my gosh……. You’ve been struggling a lot. What kind of rumor did Your Highness have bothered you so much?”

At her question, he sighed heavily and opened his mouth.

“Nowadays, there is a lot of talk among the people of the country about whether His Highness the Crown Prince is really a suitable person for the position of emperor. Also, due to the delay in getting engaged to Cecilia, there is speculation that there may be another woman.”
