129 – Incubation
“Beep!!”
The first thing that greeted me as I cautiously moved was none other than Sella.
‘Thank you, my baby.’
Thanks to that, I was able to reach Selina’s side naturally, placing her hand on her head.
“Kreung…Kreung!”
“How are you? Anything?”
“…”
Even though his gaze and words were directed toward Selah,
The subject of the conversation was Selina.
“…Yes.”
“You said it was you who brought Elena here? I heard that thanks to her, she was healed on time.”
“That’s right.”
“… Thank you.”
Somewhere it seems cold, but
Seeing that he doesn’t complain as always or smile his eyes, it seems to be a matter of a slightly different resolution.
However, there is no need to scratch and make scum,
Silently, I waited for Selina to open her mouth.
“Honestly, I was a little upset at first.”
“That…”
“You don’t have to apologize. You said you were angry, didn’t you say you were still angry?”
“…”
It was a bit different from the usual playful conversation atmosphere.
-Beep!
“I’m not fighting with mom and dad.”
Even though she has grown in size, she still looks at me and Selina as if she is anxious with her bright eyes.
“It’s just… If you think about it a little more, you’ll understand. You’ve always been in a position where you have no choice but to choose the best. I just wasn’t the best.”
“… Hey.”
“It’s not like my self-esteem is low or anything like that. I’m also resentful.”
“…”
“Actually, thanks to bringing Elena this time, you are able to stand safely like this.”
-Beep…
“In the position of having to hide her identity, I was eliminated because I had to be with Sella. I took the grade.”
Right?
… I didn’t have much to say.
Selina’s reasoning was exactly what I was thinking when I was selecting her starting members.
Aside from just scratching her head shyly and affirming Selina’s words.
“…Uh.”
When I heard the undesirable answer,
Selina turns her head to me and meets her eyes.
With mature yet playful eyes,
Beautiful black hair flowing down the nape of her neck.
Fishik.
“Why are you so stiff? Is there something wrong?”
It’s mischievous.
The reason why you still use honorific words for me,
Just around the time I thought it might be fun to see me in trouble like this.
“…Selado.”
“… Huh?”
Selina turned her head again,
She opened her mouth slowly.
“…Sela and me. I’m still growing.”
Somewhere, a little bit of sadness.
“Someday.”
With a calm tone, as if to hide her sorrow.
“Someday I’m sure… It will come in handy for you.”
When you need help.
To be able to call me before anyone else.
“…”
How should I answer?
Honestly expressing my gratitude by saying ‘thank you’?
Or should I jokingly say, ‘We’re going to sing together next time?’
Or else…
‘Sorry…’
It was then.
“What is this!! Is this really the kid at that time?!”
“…Meirin-san?”
Turning her head at the sound of a loud voice echoing through the yard,
From far away, a Baron woman with orange hair was running at high speed.
She went out to reconnoitre the surroundings with Deiran, and now she seems to have returned,
Mr. Meirin arrived in front of Selina in an instant with artifacts for her reconnaissance equipped here and there…
“It’s a dragon!!!”
Like a child actually seeing a combined robot,
With her eyes sparkling, she began to receive the real thing of Sella, who was covered.
“…You.”
As if he recognized Mei Lin belatedly,
Let Selina bow her head politely to greet her.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. As long as it’s Verdine and the family, you don’t have to be so formal with me.”
“…Is that so?”
“Eh. I don’t care too much about positions in the first place. It would be nice if Verdine took the Master’s position too.”
…I think you should listen to the other person’s opinion.
In an instant, the atmosphere of the place changed drastically.
Her partner,
Deiran seemed accustomed to this situation and began to rest under the eaves of her inn, shaking off the mud from the soles of his feet on the nearby grass.
“I heard from reports…! Did you really come by car…?! Can you fly?! Maximum flight distance…? Load capacity?!”
“… Sella is not a machine. It varies from condition to condition… But it can usually carry four adults and up to 300kg.
Of course, the pace slows down and you get tired quickly.”
“Sorry… I’m so excited about it. It’s called Selah… Can I pet it?”
I’m sure you told me your name the other day…
Well, even if we met, it was just a fleeting moment.
I don’t know anything else,
I think you know that she is a very my-paced person.
“Oh…Ohh!!”
Even so, there is no doubt that he is a skilled tamer,
Began grooming the cellar with a delicate professional touch.
-…Beep.
Sella, who was a bit reluctant at first,
She closes her eyes and calmly accepts the hands of the two women, as if Selina has calmed her mind as they stroke them together.
“… I envy you.”
“What?”
“No. Then I’ll go inside and see what’s going on.”
As I stepped towards the inn,
Mei-Lin asks her questions and begins to tell her secret secrets that she didn’t ask.
This is the advice of a famous guild master.
I don’t think Selina has too much useless information.
‘Let’s see…’
Are Veronica and Yoon Mi-rae doing well?
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a narrow-eyed senior,
I couldn’t even say hello because I didn’t look well…
Smart.
Go up the hallway for guest rooms on the second floor and knock on the door to Veronica’s room.
-…
There was no response.
I opened the door just in case…
-Kiik.
“…?”
What is this?
-Beep!
With a hologram monitor that runs any text without hesitation.
-Tap, tap, tap, tap!
Despite typing in the air,
A militant sight that makes you feel like you can hear the sound of typing, reminiscent of one-on-one typing practice.
“Senior! Didn’t we do this part with the code for folder number 2 at that time?!”
“Uh…Uh?! Maybe…”
“Perhaps? I have to be sure, not speculate! Does this look like a joke?!”
“Ah…. No. That. That’s right! It was the vital code in the 2-3 folder. A graduate made it 4 years ago…”
“Then…”
Even if you go closer and look at the monitor,
I have no idea what it is.
Senior narrowed eyes seemed to notice my existence, but
Yoon Mi-rae was asking questions so passionately that there seemed to be no gap for her to turn her head.
She couldn’t help but think that she should ask Veronica what she was doing, so she opened her mouth.
“The principal…”
“It’s the future. This part? It looks like it’s been damaged a lot… But looking at the way the end is arranged, it must be a mana condensation code.”
“That’s right. If only I had found it a little earlier…!! No. I’m glad I found it now.”
“…”
Eventually.
She had nothing to do but sit quietly on the bed and watch the balls talk.
‘Bruise…’
Has it been about 30 minutes?
Around the time when the questions and letters like earthworms running on the monitor gradually became clearer.
“…Whew.”
“Recovery seems to be limited to this much.”
With a mixed expression of satisfaction and regret,
Mi-rae Yoon, who was drinking water, finally looked at me.
“…? Since when?”
“Uh… Half an hour ago?”
“If you come, at least say that you have come…”
“I’m not in the mood for that.”
Perhaps I should have pushed my face without notice and appealed to my existence,
There must have been a cold glance waiting for him to not cover the monitor.
“So. How’s things going?”
“…I’m not sure, but I used the code we developed as it was, except for some parts.
Considering that the password I put for security purposes was part of a specific code and I didn’t even touch it…”
The password I set for security… Is that okay?
Even now, that person is sitting in Eris’s room across the hallway, shaking hands in an anti-forced smoking cessation.
Since Elena, who was treating Eris, hated the smell of her cigarette,
Even the slightest smell will be stopped by Elena, the dog.
It’s an inevitable choice if you want to see Eris’ face while she’s undergoing treatment, but…
Anyway.
“… Then. Can we use the gate inducer too?”
“That’s…”
From noble mtl dot com
Yoon Mi-rae is biting her lip in anger.
“Unfortunately, that’s still impossible.”
It was Veronica who answered my question.
“…But. Mirae and Reggle-kun have been incredibly helpful. To be honest, I didn’t expect a student to have this level of expertise…”
“Ah. No! I was just putting a spoon on the knowledge left behind by my graduates…”
“That alone is amazing enough. The amount of the future is this much in only half a year… To be honest, it’s the realm of genius.”
“Well. I’ve been receiving a lot of training as a successor.”
Well, there is no need to talk about Yoon Mi-rae’s genius.
In the first place, it was a tremendous task for a human who did not have a lot of mana to compete for first or second place with Neneto, who had the specialty of hawk eyes.
By the way…
‘The narrow-eyed senior’s name was Reggle.’
She wasn’t interested at all, so I just found out now.
She actually said that she knew now,
The next time we met, she wasn’t even worthy of being called by her first name…
“Speaking of which… Miss Mirae and Mr. Reggle would like to stay here and help with the analysis.”
“…Yes?”
“There is still… One gate left. If you can find a meaningful clue there,
I think I might be able to find a fatal flaw.”
Come to think of it,
There was still a gate on the side where Elena and Seong Jin-ha moved.
“… Time is of the essence, so I asked Mei Lin right away… Hasn’t he arrived yet?”
Huh?
‘… No way.’
I immediately got out of bed and walked to the window,
I unlocked the lock and pulled up the window.
Drreuk!
Then there,
Now I can see Meirin struggling to get on Sella somehow.
“Mr. Meirin…”
I just
I quietly pointed my finger out the window.
“…?”
Veronica got up from her chair and looked out the window.
“That human is really…!”
Wheek!
In an instant, he grabbed the window frame,
He jumped out tough.
“Ha…. Head of the school?!”
– Huung!
Just before landing,
Veronica successfully landed using wind magic skillfully.
-Give me the chips. Chip!!
I immediately started running towards Meirin.
“… You’re in a state of war right now, right?”
Of course, the appropriate measures were taken, or
It’s because she’s so confident in her skills that she can afford it, but…
At that time.
Thump thump!!
Someone started knocking on the door urgently.
“…Who are you?”
-Sir Veronica!!
Come to think of it,
This was originally Veronica’s room.
Then the person at the door right now,
Veronica has business…
-It’s a big deal!!
The speed of knocking on the door,
I can feel the urgency from the voice.
And a strangely familiar voice.
Passing by the narrow-eyed senior who looked around her head, not knowing what to do,
Let’s open the door.
“There was an emergency request for help from the Beinhard family. Contact was lost!!”
“…What?”
A senior knight of the Blood Ghost Knights,
Banterga, who formed a close relationship with me.
“…What?”
With an expression full of urgency,
I came out of Veronica’s room and was staring blankly at my face.
“From the Beinhard family…?”
Beinhardt.
It was an unforgettable name.
Beinhardt is in the yard with Veronica, who was none other than Banter.
Because it was Selina’s family.
