PAID Chapter 142
Io Brante.
A mercenary known for doing anything for money at the academy, labeled as a miser. In the original story, after the tragic death of her 'younger siblings' whom she cared for, she fell into despair and eventually joined the Demon Lord's army, becoming an obstacle for Leona and Aria.
She was last known to have carried out a mission involving falsifying documents for the Starlight Order and had amassed a considerable fortune from a warehouse. After that, there was no news of her, so I assumed she had retired from mercenary work and was living peacefully with her siblings.
But why is she here?
“No… No, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. Io Brante is inside; I’ll call her out….”
I was just as startled as the woman who offered this flimsy excuse. As I observed her, I started piecing together the situation.
Io Brante was said to have the ability to change her appearance and body shape at will using an ancient artifact. Despite being 48 years old, she could attend Velium Academy thanks to this artifact.
Was that ring she just took off the artifact?
Now that I think about it, I might have heard that it was in the form of a ring. I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time since it didn’t seem relevant to us.
“It seems I’m right, judging by your reaction.”
“I told you, you’re wrong! How many times do I have to say it, you’ve mistaken me for someone else!”
As she shouted almost hysterically and tried to fling the door open, I grabbed her by the shoulder.
“Don’t you remember? I paid you in platinum coins.”
“……”
The woman, who had been thrashing violently as if to shake off my hand, suddenly froze. Slowly, she turned to face me.
Although it wasn’t the Io I remembered, her shocked expression was unmistakable.
“...Employer?”
There was only one person who called me that. I couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly at the absurdity of it all. I thought she was living a quiet life, but here she was, involved in all this.
I quickly dispelled the voice modulation magic on my mask and whispered in my original voice.
“Yes, it’s me, Mira Crate. Do you remember my voice?”
