Damn Academy chapter 170

170 – Return (5)

“Kiss.”

Is this really okay?

The fear that this may cause a rift in my relationship with Silverine grows in my heart. If there is no hindrance to our future relationship, I will do it without hesitation. Otherwise, I wanted to be as careful as possible.

“Kiss!”

Silverine relentlessly pushed ahead as if my intention had nothing to do with it.

The strength of the forearm that tightens the waist becomes stronger. This wasn’t something I could resist and solve. Stronger than me.

“Please turn your head slightly.”

Sylverine shakes her head with a grin on her face. Then he fixed his gaze directly on her. Isn’t she telling me to put it to my lips? This is a really big deal.

“Teacher, that’s….”

“Come on.”

She never seemed like she would break her stubbornness. Even after doing such a thing, will she be able to remain completely her teacher and student?

No, maybe I’m overthinking it. It could just be an expression of intimacy.

Silverine’s body is hot. The air is heating up one after another, and heat is rising from the ground. It’s magic. Are you angry? Not if you look at his expression. It’s so bright.

This seemed like an unspoken message from her that if she disappoints herself, she will pay the price.

Silverine looked down at her day with playful eyes, her red lips slightly pressed together.

I finally came to my senses and slowly raised her head. And then he slowly brought it to Silverine’s lips.

Page.

It was a light kiss, but I couldn’t come to my senses. I felt dizzy, as if all the blood had rushed to the blood vessels in my head. The faces are so close that I don’t even know where to look.

“… Once more.”

The corners of Silverine’s mouth went up when she saw me.

“….”

“I’m kidding.”

She hugged me tightly and rubbed the back of her head.

“Send letters often.”

“Now I won’t forget.”

And with that, I said goodbye to Silverine for the last time. She pulled her robes deeper and walked away into the horizon.

After she left, a corner of her heart felt empty. And on the other hand, I also felt worried. Anyway, she always goes for dangerous things.

She ran as fast as she could, changing her tired horse as she moved, but it took quite a long time to get back to Eternia.

After ten days, I returned to Eternia.

***

“The principality has not announced anything regarding the eradication of Hwansu?”

“Yes. “I decided to keep quiet about that part.”

“Yes, you had a really hard time. “I will report on Hwansu in detail tomorrow, but go in and rest first.”

“Yes, and what I asked for was…” .”

“You mean Cecil? He took action, so don’t worry too much. If you have any problems with that, report it to me.”

At the same time, if Candy was absent when I was away and reappeared at the same time as my return, I would be suspicious in many ways, and I had previously asked Professor Candinella to take action in this regard.

It looks like everything has been resolved well, but what measures were taken to resolve the suspicion? Has it touched your memory?

After completing the return formalities with Professor Candinella, I left the professor’s office.

Somehow something went wrong and there was a gap in classes for almost a month. In the escort mission, the highest score was achieved at the request of the principality. The disadvantages of not attending class were more than compensated for, but because the period was so long, I somehow felt like an outsider. The chaotic atmosphere at the beginning of the semester was gone and everything seemed to be more deeply immersed in the atmosphere of Eternia.

After completing the formalities, I stood in front of the door of the Thorn Garden Dormitory in the Labyrinth after a long time. Trisha wonders how she has been doing.

Light leaked from the window of Trisha’s room as she looked from outside. She seemed to be here.

She lowered her hand to knock. She’s in my dorm too, so there’s no need to knock.

I opened the door and went inside.

And then Deng stood in her hall and called to her cautiously.

“… Trisha?”

Thinking he might have fallen asleep, she called again.

“Is Tricia there?”

Suddenly, a loud banging sound was heard from the second floor. Soon, Trisha jumped out with a thumping noise. She then leaned over and screamed as if she was going to fall over the railing.

“Why come now!!!”

“I’ve been very busy so far.”

“You’re lying, you must have been fooling around to skip class!!”

“It’s sad to see you like that.”

Even though I look like this, I almost came back from the dead.

Then she bounced back down the stairs. She was in such a hurry that her hair was tied up in pigtails on one side, her feet were bare, and she was in her nightgown.

“What are you doing here now?”

Trisha’s eyes are filled with tears. I thought it was a good thing that I came, but when I looked closely, I saw blood gushing out of my shin. It seems that this is the identity of the loud noise a moment ago.

“Are your shins okay?”

“It doesn’t hurt!”

“….”

Trisha took my luggage and quickly opened it and rummaged through it.

“What are you doing?”

I looked at her eccentricity with suspicion. Are you looking for something to eat? What are they looking for when they only have simple clothes and equipment? After Trisha rummaged around for a while, she said:

“…… Doesn’t exist.”

“What?”

“Shield! There was a rumor that you received it from a princess. “I guess it’s just a rumor!”

“Is it important to you that I received a shield?”

“There was a lot of noise at school for a while because of rumors about you! There were strange rumors going around about you getting engaged to a princess and all that! Do you know how much I cared about you? “I worked so hard to sort it out!”

“… “The platinum shield was heavy, so I left it at the door.”

Trisha turned her head toward me and looked at me with her sunken eyes.

“Lie!”

“Go and check.”

Trisha got up and went out the door. Immediately she was so startled that she covered her mouth and screamed.

“Aye!”

“… ?”

Trisha stood there motionless, as if she was shocked. No, is she really that shocked by that?

“Why are you so shocked?”

“Then…” Are you marrying a princess?”

“No, this has nothing to do with that. “The engagement is just a rumor.”

“Then what is your relationship with the princess?”

How exaggerated are the rumors, so much so that even Trisha appears like this?

“… We became friends. “She was on vacation and she decided to stop by.”

“I don’t like it. “You were supposed to go to my house during vacation!”

“That’s right, I’ll take you with me as I go.”

Trisha looked up at me with a pout and said.

“… “How close have you become to the princess?”

“….”

“Are you closer than me? “Does it take precedence over my promise?”

Trisha looked very distressed.

What should I answer? A bond was formed with the princess because we went through something dramatic… She has not yet developed the level of intimacy that she has with Trisha.

“That’s… ….”

“Is that something you even have to worry about?”

“That’s right….”

After thinking for a moment, I opened her mouth and she shouted, cutting me off.

“Of course you are closer to me!”

“… Yes. “I’m closer to you.”

I was thinking that going together would help shorten the schedule, but now I see that it wasn’t a good decision to let Trisha and Princess Vivi meet.

***

Actually, even when I returned to Eternia, my heart was focused on Princess Vivi. Even during her return, I thought about Princess Vivi. Specifically, about the princess’s illness.

So the first thing I did in the morning was go to the library. It was to get even the slightest clue about the curse of the goddess’s blood.

Half of it was due to curiosity, and the other half was due to sympathy for the princess.

After my first messy class after returning, I headed back to the library.

I also searched for information on the elves’ archives, but could not find any proper records. Around lunch time, I heard a sound through the bookshelf of Library 3, where I was standing.

Library 3 is the area for alchemy books, an unpopular area, so there were no students coming in and out except me. The only people in this large area were me and an unknown person.

I didn’t think it was a big deal no matter who was there and proceeded with the research. After rummaging around like that for about an hour, I pulled out a book and made eye contact with the person across from me through a gap in the bookshelf.

“… ?”

I only made eye contact with one eye through a thin gap, but I was startled and tried to walk away quickly.

Although I only saw part of his features, I remembered who he was.

“…… Luna?”

Then the sound of footsteps moving away suddenly stopped.

Soon after, she returned to the opposite side of my bookshelf where she had been a moment ago.

I pulled out two more books and opened the gap so I could see the faces. She cautiously revealed her face.

As expected, Luna was right.

But she couldn’t meet my eyes.

“It’s an amazing coincidence to see it in a place like this.”

“That’s right… exorbitant… Accident….”

“Are you here to look for an alchemy book?”

“Yes…. “I like alchemy.”

But has my avoidance of men come back? She hesitated and lowered her head. Well, since he hasn’t had any contact with me for over a month, he could have become uncomfortable again.

“Is it okay if I talk?”

“Yes….”

“Thank you for the amulet.”

“I’m glad you came back healthy.”

“Wait, there’s no one nearby, right?”

Everyone knows Luna’s avoidance of men, and she is known to only have one piece of candy when it comes to men she is close with, so I had to be careful because if someone saw her calmly talking to me, it would arouse suspicion.

“Yes….”

I lowered my voice and spoke.

“It just worked out well. “Do you remember that we decided to invite you to dinner earlier?”

After finishing the circulatory system class, I decided to invite Luna to her mansion and treat her to a meal.

But Luna couldn’t remember her.

“That’s right…” … Was it?”

Looking at the reaction, it seems that it wasn’t that important to Luna. Maybe she was pretending not to know because she didn’t want to go to the man’s house. Well, in that case, it might be better for her to just ignore the promise.

“No, not if you don’t remember. Let’s just pretend it never happened….”

Then Luna suddenly spoke urgently.

“I remembered.”

“… ?”

“I was supposed to invite you to dinner…” …. “I remember exactly.”

“… Okay? Then, I’d like to invite you to this week’s holiday. How is it?”

Luna lowered her head and paused for a moment before speaking.

“… Good.”

“Luna, what do you like? “You don’t really like cooking, do you?”

From what I remember when she accompanied me to the circulatory system class, Luna didn’t have much talent for cooking. When she tried to grill the meat on her own, she ended up turning it all into a pile of charcoal.

However, contrary to expectations, Luna shook her head.

“I like it. Me… I’m good at cooking. “I will help you too.”

“Okay, when I see the exact schedule next time… …. “Now that I think about it, there aren’t many places where we can meet.”

As long as she was without her mask, she had almost no way of contacting Luna. We had to pretend we weren’t interested in each other.

“… “It’s not bad here either.”

“Then let’s go three steps ahead and meet at exactly this location. “I’ve been there too, so I think it’s good to meet quietly.”

I picked up a book that was sitting in front of me.

“I’m in front of the book ‘Alchemy to Resolve Family Discord’ Luna, what about you?”

She also picked up one of her books from the shelf in front of her and said.

“Murder potion.”

“Okay, I’ll see you again tomorrow, at this time, right here.”
