My On*Hole Academy [EN]: Chapter 265

EP.264 Tracking Clues

“…….”

The nun placed a hand on her chest and flinched, seemingly wary of me.

…She’s wary.

There was enough distance when she woke up, but she’s conscious of whether I did anything while she was asleep.

“I’m sorry. Did I startle you? I didn’t do anything. The drone took care of the wound.”

“Ah… Where is this…?”

“It’s the safe house you mentioned. I didn’t expect it to be this nice, but everyone is resting comfortably.”

Ugh.

I’m awkwardly talking too much… Can’t I be more natural? Sanghyuk!

“The children…?”

“They’re all safe. They’re even outside playing. Sara too…”

“Ah… Thank you.”

It’s strange at this point.

Why is such a polite and virtuous woman a villain?

Something must be very wrong… With my smartphone out of service, I can’t even skim through the press releases.

“We have to leave immediately. The monster will tear this place apart too.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. The demonic beast won’t come here for a while.”

“Pardon…?”

How do I explain that I corrupted the command unit with the superconducting boji [a device used to control demonic beasts]?

“A skilled hunter is guarding the area.”

“I’m grateful that you brought me here, but even that much…”

“What happened? Can you tell me about it?”

“…….”

She seems anxious…

“I was… held captive by that priest. Along with the children from the orphanage.”

“You were kidnapped by a violent organization?”

“Yes. I couldn’t escape because they threatened to harm the children…”

“…….”

Crack.

I should have caught the priest, even if I had to force it.

That son of a bitch is doing terrible things.

“After the monster’s attack, I couldn’t go back under Chunwon’s control.”

“Chunwon?”

“That’s… the name of the priest who leads the Black Star Society.”

“Aha.”

“But, I never imagined… that the signal was real.”

……?

The Saintess hesitated slightly before speaking.

“I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have brought you all here… I was just so desperate…”

“…W-Well, if you’re desperate, there’s nothing you can do…”

As the Saintess lowered her head,

her breasts, barely held in place by her full-cup bra under her nun’s habit, also swayed.

This is seriously hard on my eyes!!

Maintaining basic etiquette in front of this person is not easy. If I let my instincts take over and feast my eyes on her pretty face and big breasts, I might unconsciously try to scan downwards, so I have to watch myself.

“…….”

Was I staring too obviously?

The Saintess seemed slightly uncomfortable.

“I’m sorry. That…”

“No, it’s nothing…”

Her expression worsened, snapping me back to my senses.

“You saved me… I’m just grateful.”

“I know you’re tired after being injured, but could you tell me everything first? After hearing your story, I’ll decide what to do with my companions.”

“Yes… So…”

“Why shouldn’t you have brought us here?”

“Because the destination… is a place where hunters shouldn’t come.”

She summarized the increasingly mysterious story simply.

“We left Chunwon’s side to join the Villain Alliance, which is somewhere around here…”

「Villain Alliance」

I’ve finally found a clue.

‘Huh? That’s strange.’

Besides the violent organization led by Chunwon,

there’s another organization that owns such a luxurious mansion?

I thought the Villain Alliance = Black Star Society, but it seems that’s not the case.

Or maybe it’s too early to jump to conclusions with the information I have.

“Did they… did the Villain Alliance say anything to you?”

“I often received secret messages. They contained offers to join the Villain Alliance when things got difficult.”

“…….”

“I was being watched, so I had no way or time to check…”

“So, you immediately thought of it when the monster appeared and everything became chaotic?”

“Yes…”

So,

you’re saying she brought us to the alliance’s meeting place, which she had only heard about.

“I only heard it was a safe house, I didn’t know it would be such a nice facility.”

“Do you remember the person who told you about it?”

She shook her head.

The Saintess shook her head.

“No… The messages were always slipped into the place I cleaned… or something like that…”

“…….”

Let’s summarize.

Beze Saintess was working at an orphanage while being held captive by the violent organization Black Star Society.

She wanted to escape but couldn’t, so while she was looking for an opportunity, someone calling themselves the 「Villain Alliance」,

gave her information about a safe house to extract the Beze Saintess from the organization…….

“You were trying to escape with the children after the monster’s attack, but you ran into trouble… is that it?”

“Yes.”

“I have one question…”

“Ask me.”

I asked directly about something that had been bothering me since earlier.

“Why are you so nice?”

“Pardon?”

“I heard from Sieun before coming to the recovery room that you’re a villain. An S-class one at that.”

“…Ah…”

“You’re wanted, right? It’s hard to imagine that happening unless you’re an extremely vicious person.”

“…….”

“The Saintess Beze I saw gives the impression of being a victim of a crime, rather than someone who thinks about children.”

What kind of answer will she give?

I couldn’t read her mind just by looking at her expression.

Maybe…….

‘In fact, she’s the mastermind who’s even using Chunwon…?’

……There’s no basis for that.

If I had to find one, it would be that she has this kind of appearance, but En-chan gave her an A-grade rating for onahole qualities [a term used to describe someone’s attractiveness based on certain physical features]…?

If I interpret that as meaning there’s a flaw in her personality, it makes sense…….

‘I’m jumping to conclusions too much…….’

……I can’t be a detective.

“It must be because of my talent.”

“Talent?”

“I have a constitution that 『secretes a strong anesthetic substance』… so no one can approach me.”

“……!”

Is that why she was caught by that terrible organization!?

I see why she has the nickname 『Drug Saintess』… Come to think of it, the words ‘drug’ and ‘onahole aptitude’ seemed to appear repeatedly in the quest.

But…….

‘Something’s strange.’

It’s not strange that the violent organization’s source of income is drugs.

But were they relying on just one person’s talent to mine it?

Does that much profit come out of it?

“What happened because of that talent?”

“I’m sorry.”

The Saintess cut me off.

It was a clear signal that she didn’t want to talk anymore.

“I’m grateful that you saved me and the children, but beyond this…”

“…….”

“I don’t want to involve 「outsiders」. I’ll take care of finding the alliance. You can go back.”

Hmm…….

I can feel that she’s firmly closing the door to her heart.

I can picture En-chan struggling and saying, 「Let’s make her a superconducting boji and open the door to her heart, oooo」……. [referencing the device mentioned earlier]

I don’t want to do that here.

At least not right now.

Because it didn’t seem like she was lying.

From the way she treats the children, and considering the circumstances in which we found her.

This isn’t a situation where I can unilaterally judge her.

But….

We soon realize that we are facing a different situation.

She says we can just go back?

There’s an opportunity to capture an S-class villain right in front of us and use it as a record?

Soon, the nun, realizing that fact, trembled her shoulders so pitifully that it was heartbreaking.

“Or, are you, are you going to arrest me… and take me to the Hero Association…?”

“…….”

I have the power of life and death over this villain.

Considering the danger, it’s right to restrain her and take her to the base camp.

‘At that time, the Saintess will desperately resist.’

I don’t know how powerful the Saintess’s anesthetic talent is,

but considering that she’s been able to maintain her virginity despite all the yakuza’s advances in the organization,

I shouldn’t underestimate her just because she looks weak. She definitely has a sure way to protect herself.

Let’s try to persuade her…….

“If things go according to the Saintess’s wishes, the children will end up in the Villain Alliance. Is that okay?”

“Those children are cursed with talent.”

“Cursed with talent?”

“Yes. They were all abandoned by their parents and relatives and ended up in our orphanage.”

…….

I knew there would be some story behind it…….

“We can’t find a group to protect us. Honestly, going to the Villain Alliance is just grasping at straws. There must be people in the same situation as us.”

“…….”

“……I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to complain like this.”

“Why were they abandoned? Everyone was… bright, good children.”

The nun’s eyes welled up with tears as if she was holding something back.

“I don’t know what they call it these days… but it’s called 「child gacha」 [a term referring to the random nature of children’s talents and abilities, implying some are seen as more valuable than others]…….”

“…….”

“Among the children who awakened their talents early, some are abandoned in forbidden areas because they are considered useless, dangerous, or even lacking in dignity.”

Ugh…….

Damn it.

I’ve seen a disgusting side of the academy’s meritocratic society. It’s making me dizzy.

“How would those children have felt…? When their parents, who had showered them with love, suddenly changed overnight…”

I was wrong.

Trying to persuade her by talking about the children was a mistake.

To the children,

……the Saintess is more than a mother.

“I’ll tell you the conclusion first. I’m not going to arrest you.”

“……Thank you.”

I need to avoid 「mutually assured destruction」.

“But I’m not going back either.”

“Pardon…?”

And we came here with a different mission.

Don’t forget that fact. Kim Sanghyuk.

……President entrusted me with the mission of investigating the forbidden area. He told me to find out about the Villain Alliance’s movements since they were showing signs.

Maybe that’s why, at this moment.

Isabella is struggling with the monster in the depths, trying to find information about the Villain Alliance.

「Chase the Alliance」GO……!!

Then I can also increase the time I can build trust with Beze.

There will definitely be a time when she opens up and talks about her true feelings.

“I’ll help you find the alliance.”

“Why…? We’re just annoying to you, maybe even more terrible…”

“I don’t know about that. We also have a mission to find the alliance.”

“What will you do after you find them?”

I thought.

What should I do?

“That’s not a problem I can decide on my own, but I promise you. If it’s a utopia where they don’t deceive you and put the children in danger,

I won’t touch a hair on your head.”

“…….”

Even though I know there’s no such place anywhere.

Beze will have no choice but to take my hand.

“Conversely, if it’s a place full of only evil things, it can’t be your home, so I’ll get rid of it. How about that?”

“M-Maybe…….”

The Saintess suddenly stammered.

“Are you… a Master Hunter…?”

“Huh?”

I was so flustered that I asked back.

“Ah, well, how should I put it… You seem very strong…”

I’m embarrassed……!

Was I acting too cocky just because I’m a D-class in the academy?

I realized that I had become unbelievably arrogant, having become the owner of the Onahole Territory and having Bell-chan under my command.

“No, it means I’ll do my best. And Korea’s Master Hunter is a woman.”

I guess she wouldn’t have had a chance to watch TV here…….

SNS too!? A woman who doesn’t use SNS! My ideal type!

My brain starts burning with wishful thinking.

“Still, it might be uncomfortable to act with us. Decide.”

“Would you give me some time to think…?”

“Okay.”

I got up from my seat.

“Rest comfortably, and tell me if you have anything uncomfortable. There are clothes to change into, food to eat, and a place to wash.”

“Yes, thank you…”

She hasn’t been up for long, but she must have been exhausted from talking so much.

Let’s rest and talk again.

When I came outside and briefly conveyed the information I had heard, Yoona crossed her arms and pondered, “Hmm.”

“It feels like the nun has the next clue.”

“Right?”

“That’s because when we entered this building, the AI drone accepted us with the nun’s authentication information. I thought it was because I had been here once…”

“…….”

If the nun’s story is true,

someone from the alliance prepared the mansion, leaving only one AI drone here.

They were meticulously and carefully preparing to draw the Saintess out of the Black Star Society.

At this point, I was convinced that the 「Villain Alliance」’s hideout, whose location was unclear, definitely existed.

“The nun will be anxious to go alone with the children, so she’ll need our help. Let’s wait until she’s sorted out her feelings.”

“Okay! Ah~~ It’s a break for a while. Then.”

“What about the kids?”

“They’re playing in the yard.”

……Hmm.

Should I go play with them? As soon as the children saw me, their eyes sparkled and they ran towards me.

“It’s Jelly Oppa!”

“Jelly Hyung~~~!”

“Who wants a piggyback ride? First come, first served!”

“Me!!”

It was a Thursday afternoon with soft sunlight shining down.
