Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 222
Main square in front of Ardel Academy.
The square, which had been quiet for a while, was crowded because it was time for the lotus party to start soon.
“Did more people come than you expected?”
“I know.”
I said poking the circle’s side.
Although it is an annual event, it is not a very important event and I had no idea that it would attract so many people.
The gathered crowd was constantly rushing into the square, and there were also young faces mixed there.
Won looked around and pointed his finger in the corner.
“What are these little ones?”
“I thought he belonged to the Imperial Kindergarten.”
The richness that seems to be buried from head to toe in high-quality clothes that are all shiny and shiny. Just by looking at the mark on the school uniform, it was clear that he belonged to the Imperial Kindergarten.
They’re rich kids, so they’re different.
Actually, I’m not really interested in that… .
“But why do you keep looking at me?”
It seems that the eyes of those youngsters have been on this side since before.
Is it your mood?
I shifted my seat a bit.
Then, the children of the Imperial Kindergarten also sneakily follow me.
what.
I don’t think it’s the mood?
“Wow!”
run away again.
“Wow!”
Now they are starting to follow them openly.
what is it, i’m scared
The kids keep chasing me.
“Where are you going!”
He hurriedly retreated, but in the end he was unable to beat the majority.
Little kids all around me.
In particular, one kid in the middle was particularly active, so it was burdensome.
“Castica’s time limit!”
“Look here!”
“Wow! Wow!”
I didn’t know you followed me, but… .
Ugh, do you know my name?
I didn’t feel bad about the enthusiastic cheers that reminded me of a fan club.
The kids are chasing you and you can’t push them away, let’s just let them go.
I thought so and tried to play with them.
That was the moment.
Solia, who witnessed the scene belatedly, ran to her with a bewildered face.
“What, what’s going on?”
The answer was won instead. It was just a hoarse voice.
“I don’t know. His popularity is no joke. It must be a face that little ones will like.”
That said, I accepted it.
“Are only children really going to like it?”
“… Can I hit one?”
“Would I win?”
“Ah-oh… really this… .”
Won clenched his fists and grabbed the back of his neck.
Solia glanced at the children of the Imperial Kindergarten as if it wasn’t important.
Solia’s gaze turned to the girl in the front row.
I asked why the embarrassed face, and the reason came out of her mouth.
“that person… You are a princess.”
“Princess?”
Is it Anne who jumped in the middle earlier?
Almost anything, the fan club president?
Of course, I don’t want to have anything to do with the Hwang family either way.
I’m already tired just looking at the prince and the emperor.
Seeing that even the youngest daughter has such a tired personality, that is also hereditary.
I clicked my tongue and shook my head.
“The future of the empire is bleak… .”
“Hey, be quiet.”
In the midst of this, the little boys who crossed the line and walked over to this place had their eyes twinkling.
“How old are you?”
“sixteen.”
“Wow, old!”
hey
It’s actually twenty-nine.
I wanted to run away slowly at the painful words thrown at me, but these little boys grabbed me and wouldn’t let me go.
“Then what grade are you?”
“I’m in third grade.”
“Wow, I’m 16 in third grade… So are you a man?”
What is this bastard?
“Where is Castica?”
“… ?”
“Do you have girl friend?”
“Are you studying well?”
stop! now stop!
It’s pure and cute, but I don’t really like crazy kids.
I nodded my head roughly, answered a few questions, and sent it back.
“I think I’m going crazy.”
Fortunately, as the lotus party began in earnest, the children who were running wild became quiet.
Thanks to them, I was able to run away and find a place inside the line.
Han Lee, the representative of the school year, grabbed the microphone and started the procession, and the distinguished guests invited to the lotus party came up one by one and gave a short greeting and went down.
I scanned the VIP seats slowly, and found the Emperor Linia sitting loftily in the gap.
Next to him sat the knights of the imperial family and Han Tae-soo with stiff faces.
It is ironic indeed.
More than anyone else, those responsible for the past riots are here at the Lotus Lantern to honor them.
It was when I thought of that and smiled bitterly.
“Han Shiha.”
huh?
Suddenly, Lee Han called my name.
While he was losing his mind, Lee Han, who seemed to have done something, motioned towards him.
“Please say something as a student representative.”
Solia whispered from behind.
Only then did I grasp the situation and handed Lee Han’s microphone.
“Mmm.”
As soon as they grabbed the microphone, the children who had been chattering in the corner became silent all at once.
This is what it feels like to be a boy who plays the flute.
I didn’t have much to say, so I thought I’d end my comment briefly.
“Thank you for attending Ardel’s Lantern Festival this year.”
In an instant, Han Tae-soo’s eyes met.
His eyes were so calm that he didn’t know what he was thinking.
He glanced back at it and spoke.
“It seems that the night sky is especially dark for this year’s lantern festival.”
Not a single star can be seen in the clay-dark night sky.
“There seem to be a lot of people to remember, so let’s light a light with those people in mind. So, I hope you have a good time.”
I handed Lee Han the microphone and came down from the stage.
The full-fledged lantern festival started now.
The plaza filled with people started to get quieter for a while, even more noisy than before.
This is because the lanterns filled with the wishes of the students appeared from the other side.
It has been a long time since the romantics of the quiet lotus party were destroyed by the frantic push of humans who flocked to see their backs float, but there was one person who was secretly excited.
when did you come
“Han Shiha!”
Adela put her hands together and smiled.
“I like other events, but the lotus party was really pretty.”
“okay?”
The back has increased a lot since then.
The people who had set their lights on and set their lights on were loudly signaling.
“Put it up… !”
Then, the main lotus meeting.
A huge back began to float.
To express someone’s wish, or to commemorate someone.
Slowly rising one by one, etc.
Countless lights began to burn brightly, illuminating the dark night sky.
The sky, which had been dark until now, is shining reddishly.
It’s midnight, just like the sunset.
the sky is so red
Adela, who was smiling happily with her eyes full of the sky, caught my eye.
His face looked as ecstatic as when he saw the fireworks for the first time.
I spoke gently.
“Surely it is.”
“Yeah, what?”
“Yeondeunghoe is pretty as you said.”
Maybe it’s because of the sky like the sunset at sunset.
Maybe it’s because I feel better with the cool air that brushes the tip of my nose.
If not, I don’t know if it’s just because I like this atmosphere… .
“I think it’s a little more romantic than fireworks.”
It’s been a long time since I felt like my heart was being ripped open.
I smiled lightly after Adela.
“uh!”
Adela exclaimed, pointing her hand at her back, which had become a dot.
“That’s it! It’s the lantern I wrote my wish on!”
“Can you see that?”
“It’s just a feeling.”
You are not Youn Ha-eul.
I laughed out loud at Adela’s nonsensical remarks.
“Then there will be my wish next to it.”
“Oh, maybe it will.”
Anyway, that wish.
I think I was writing it down quite a while ago, but I suddenly became curious.
“What wish did you write down?”
“yes?”
Adela closed her eyes and pondered.
I asked without thinking. Was it a very serious wish?
Just as she was about to start to wonder, Adela put her index finger to her mouth.
“It’s a secret.”
Well, what a great wish.
I couldn’t help but spit it out in a hoarse voice.
“Then I have a secret.”
“You begged me to marry you.”
Oh, I just got it.
Adela looked at my bewildered face and clicked her tongue briefly.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
“why?”
“You can do it with me.”
Oh, I see… yes… .
huh?
Wait a minute.
“Are you coming in like this?”
“no?”
“… .”
“That’s good.”
Why is this happening!
“good?”
“no.”
“really?”
“It’s hot, so stay away.”
I thought the weather was cool, but somehow it was muggy.
“It’s too hot.”
“It’s just an excuse… .”
I pushed away Adela’s burdensome gaze and looked up at the night sky.
The night sky was still burning softly.
* * *
The night after the lantern festival, late in the morning.
As soon as Won and Han Si-ha returned to the dormitory, they fell asleep immediately.
After wandering around for several hours at the lotus party, my body was exhausted.
After the people returned home, the Ardel Academy became quiet as usual.
Inside the dormitory, only the sound of breathing can be heard.
Han Si-ha, who had been sleeping on the pillow, jumped up.
“… yes?”
what.
It sounded like the wind.
A sense of sensitivity with the Cube of Senses woke up Han Si-ha.
it’s kind of ominous
In the dark room, Han Shiha fumbled at the desk to turn on the light.
found.
Click-.
The very moment I reached out and turned on the light.
bang bang!
A loud knocking on the door rang out.
It stopped as it was.
“eww… What’s up?”
Won, who had woken up from the commotion, also frowned with a hazy face.
Meanwhile, the outsider knocked on the door again.
Bang!
“Please come out for a second! Hurry!”
A loud voice came through the door.
You don’t seem to be a student.
Hanshiha carefully gripped the cane. Then, quelling the sound of footsteps, he slowly approached the door.
What kind of lightning bolt is this in the night?
I had no choice but to be vigilant because I didn’t know who was behind the door.
Thinking of an attack from the start if it was too late, he held onto the doorknob tightly.
and.
burst-.
Han Shiha opened the door sharply.
“… !”
A rough face with a bushy beard.
A man in a knight’s suit was standing in front of the door.
He bowed his head and shouted loudly.
“This is Bern, a knight belonging to the Imperial Family!”
There was dirt all over his body, probably because he ran in a hurry, and he looked tired.
In many ways, it didn’t make sense.
“Imperial Knight… ?”
Won looked at the man slowly as if he was suspicious, but Hanshiha noticed it at once.
The face I saw at the lotus party. The knights belonging to the imperial family seemed to be right.
Hanshiha asked cautiously.
“What’s going on?”
“The prince is looking for you.”
“… yes?”
Suddenly the prince finds you at this hour?
believe it?
This is a work that doesn’t even sound like a word.
The moment I was about to stop.
Bern added eagerly.
“It is urgent! You must go now.”
It didn’t seem like he was lying.
