Act 4-7: Babel’s Circumtance

【Babel】’s Top Floor.

「No matter how much I look at it, it’s a complete beatdown.」

In the headmaster’s room located at the top floor of Babel’s tower, Babel’s grand headmaster, Inea Renren Lorelei, was examining the data sheet in front of her while muttering her thoughts.

Examining the data sheet, she concluded that Kai Heineman would become a key player of this world in future. His strength aside, her main focus was on his character, she wanted to know just what kind of a person Kai Heineman was, to grasp his character. The data sheet was just one of the many information files gathered by the secret investigation team.

Written in the sheets were information simply too unbelievable, yet true.

It started with the inauguration of princess Rosemary as the lord of East End in the beginning of Amelia kingdom’s crown contest. Naturally, there was no such thing as “Normal” inhabitants living in the East End. The one that Kai Heineman choose was the people who happened to hide in there, the Wind Cat.

And the leader of the Wind Cat was none other than the missing duchess of Amelia kingdom, Felis Loto Amelia. If that was the case, it was normal to think about inhabiting them as citizens, yes, if it was stopped at that point.

「The strongest transcendent in the history of this world…」

Transcendents―― They were abnormal existence that surpass even the spirits, and dragons. Though no one had witnessed them before, they would come out without fail in fairy-tale, or myths. And yet, Kai Heineman insisted that he wasn’t one.

In fact, Inea thought that Millefeuille was exaggerating things when the latter was explaining the matter about Kai Heineman. But now, she couldn’t think a reason why he insisted on that. If she didn’t hear from Millefeuille before that Kai Heineman was insisting to be a human, Inea might have assumed that Kai Heineman was playing a prank on her.

‘I can understand that idiot prince of the human race who insisted that Kai Heineman did something really unforgivable to him.’

Nevertheless――

「Trying to sentence Kai Heineman with the death penalty, eh… what a buffoon.」

No matter how much she could relate to Gilbert’s feelings, she felt no shred of sympathy for the latter.

Because if what Millefeuille had said was true, Kai Heineman still regarded himself as a human. The reason why he didn’t go as far as killing the idiotic and reckless prince was the very evidence of that. Thus, if the action was taken within the rules of being human, Kai Heineman wouldn’t go overboard. Since that was the case, she felt that advancing with the first plan wouldn’t rouse Kai Heineman’s anger.

「I’ve never expected that such a plan will make me so nervous and exhausted.」

Inea heaved a deep sigh,

「But―― this is interesting!」

Yet muttered so with sparkling eyes in the right next moment.
