Jeniel Celebration (2)
smart-
Hearing a knock, the private room became quiet for an instant. Everyone instinctively turned their heads.
After a moment of silence, the luxurious door opened slowly.
The person behind the door did not reveal his identity, but the “fragrant body odor” that came in first reminded him of his face.
A handsome man who overwhelms the atmosphere just by appearing, matching the enchanting smell of flesh.
It was Leonard Adonis.
“Lee Yeol~ The character is still the same.”
“So. Just by looking at his face, Ji is the main character.”
“Why are you so late?”
“Leonard!”
While his classmates warmly welcomed him, Karios jumped up from his seat. I had a few glasses of wine, so I was more excited than usual.
“My old friend! Talking about old memories, you can’t be left out. sit down quickly There is a bundle of things I want to solve.”
“okay.”
Leonard smiled politely and took the last seat. When Edelia, who was sitting across from her, tried to pour her wine, she euphemistically refused.
“No, I’m done drinking.”
“why? We should have a drink on a day like today.”
“I have to go in a little while. I have to stand guard at the camp today.”
“What? Are you still doing that?”
Edelia’s brow wrinkled.
I’ve known Leonard for 15 years.
Of course, he couldn’t be with him for a long time due to his early graduation, but at least the Leonard he knew was a person far from public affairs.
By the way, don’t you follow as a professor in charge of MT, or stand guard without being told?
Looking at recent trends, he seemed like a completely different person.
Other motives showed similar reactions.
“In addition? You’ve already been on guard for three days.”
“I heard that support came from the Immortal Knights?”
“You keep drinking Hot Eight and getting sick all night. It takes only a moment for your health to deteriorate.”
Jeniel also helped out with a word.
“I’ll leave it to the knights from today…”
A voice mixed with worry and regret.
It would be tiring if he stayed up all night for four days, but to stand guard while refusing even his favorite wine.
I was proud, but worried at the same time.
From the day after the Gladania Incident, the work was enforced. Even though he collapsed from magical exhaustion, he did not take a day off.
The safety of others is important, but I also want to take care of my own health.
······Apart from that, I wanted Leonard to remain until the end. It’s because Karios always took care of himself at drinking parties that were neglected.
He told me to stop drinking when my face turned red, went out with him to get some fresh air, and bought me ice cream when I was drunk.
Especially on a day like today, I wanted Leonard to be by my side.
However, Leonard steadfastly accepted all those worries.
“If there is an offensive mage, there must be a defensive mage as well.”
Then, screams poured out from all over the place.
“You are doing too much. I’m sad that you haven’t been playing well lately, Leonard.”
“Anyway, I’m trying to do all the cool things by myself.”
“Okay~ you’re proud, drink some water.”
Edelia poured water into an empty glass. Before long, seven wine glasses collided on the table.
DEEING-
After the toast, the chat continued.
“Anyway, everyone was drunk and staggered, hurt, and it wasn’t a fuss.”
“Jake threw up. I was sober to clean it up.”
Another school trip was talked about. It was boring now. Jeniel stared at the table with a sullen face.
However, someone reflected in the marble was looking at him.
A “superior appearance” recognizable even with a blurry reflection. It was Leonard. Jeniel raised his head and looked at her. just as expected. Leonard was watching.
“…?”
When our eyes met, Leonard naturally looked away. Adele said at the same time.
“ah! And Bonnie Leonard didn’t go on a school trip.”
“Is it? Oh right.”
After the demon attack in childhood, the family banned outside activities for a while. Instead, they had a party at Adonis’ villa that week.
Although Jeniel couldn’t attend because of a fever.
Carios scratched the back of his neck as if he had forgotten.
“That’s right… I heard he didn’t say anything.”
However, they were not aware of Jeniel’s absence. Same for other motives.
Everyone’s attention was on Leonard. Also, something that only Jeniel didn’t know about came out.
“The barbecue I had that evening was really good.”
“So. I want to go again.” “Leonard, didn’t you pass the presents back then? What was it?”
“·······”
I was upset. I was sad. I didn’t go on a school trip either, and I couldn’t even go to a villa party, so why am I the only one who doesn’t know…
At that time, Jeniel’s expression darkened even more.
“Well····”
Leonard lengthened his horse’s tail. It was something to worry about.
Leonard, who was taking his time uncharacteristically, spat out unexpected words.
“Let’s stop talking about the old days.”
Having said that, he turned his head. The pupil who stayed with Edelia turned to Jeniel, who was sitting diagonally.
Then he said carelessly.
“It’s a place where we gathered to congratulate Jeniel.”
“·······”
Jeniel watched the whole process in awe. At first, I couldn’t understand why he said that. Then I realized belatedly.
Why did Leonard stare at him earlier?
I wasn’t just staring. Torazin was the only one who cared about himself.
What I was sad about.
You knew everything about school trips and not attending parties…
After all, Leonard was the only one who took care of me.
Leonard asked before he was overcome with emotion.
“Jeniel. When does the lecture start?”
Then, the distracted attention turned to Jeniel again. After a lot of thought, he changed the topic with a single word.
Consideration done so that others do not notice, so that you do not feel ashamed of yourself.
Jeniel smiled brightly at Leonard.
I wasn’t happy to receive attention.
It wasn’t good being the main character.
It was just that I was grateful for taking care of the marginalized.
＊＊＊
A door too luxurious to knock on.
smart-
I knocked twice and entered the room. Other than Karios and Jeniel, unfamiliar faces.
I said goodbye and took a seat at the end. I was sitting awkwardly, but the woman across from me offered me a bottle of wine.
When I refused, complaints poured out from all over the place.
······I-ssi, is it like an entrance shot?
I don’t know much about this because it’s so bad.
As I looked around, I poured water.
After that, they talked about school trips for about 5 minutes. Of course I don’t know.
I pretended to sympathize and looked at Jeniel.
“·······”
Jeniel was still pretty. It was cute that his cheeks were red from being drunk with wine. I only stared at the table, probably drunk, and thanks to that, I was able to look at it casually.
Suddenly, Jeniel raised his head. The two eyes met.
An embarrassing situation in many ways.
“·······”
I pretended not to be looking there, pretended to be cross-eyed, and naturally turned my head.
It was then.
“ah! And Bonnie Leonard didn’t go on a school trip.”
The man I saw at the engagement ceremony suddenly looked at me. At the same time, everyone’s eyes were on me. It was burdensome.
“Leonard, didn’t you pass the presents back then? What was it?”
I do not know. I didn’t even know that Leonard had a villa. I stretched out my horsetail and pondered.
“Well·····”
I had to be careful because I didn’t know anything. If I pretended to know it, I could have been in trouble.
would you say you don’t know?
Not a bad choice, but not the best.
The subject of rakugo has already moved on to the villa party.
In other words, the topic had to be changed.
“Let’s stop talking about the old days.”
I said as if I wasn’t interested. As if recalling a bad memory.
And then I looked at Jeniel.
“It’s a place where we gathered to congratulate Jeniel.”
Fortunately, everyone’s eyes turned to Jeniel. At the same time, I had the same question.
As Ryan’s survival was extended by 2 days, Jeniel’s enlistment was also delayed by 2 days. If it’s short, it’s a short period, but I didn’t know what other variables this would bring.
I asked Jeniel to confirm the theme and also to check the information.
“Jeniel. When does the lecture start?”
“·······”
But it was really strange. Jeniel looked at me and smiled broadly.
Not a simple response, but a smile as if something was overflowing.
“The first lecture is next Tuesday.”
At the same time, my heart also fluttered.
It was fatal, but I was able to control my emotions because there were many people around me.
After that, questions about Jeniel continued one after another. It was a successful adaptation.
“How long? how much do you do?”
“At first, I decided to try it for about two weeks. If a successor does not appear, it may be extended a little longer.”
“How many lectures do you have?”
“2.”
“Two heat~ Not one, but two? Are you busy, Professor Jeniel?”
“I’m a temporary professor, so what should I do?”
Next Tuesday. 2 lectures.
It was identical to the original.
Ryan’s butterfly effect seemed to end here.
I ate a few snacks and focused on listening. Time passed quickly in the closed space, and the hands of the clock passed 10 o’clock.
Now is the time to step out.
“I’ll just go.”
When I got up, the conversation stopped abruptly. As if I had made a big mistake, I could feel the eyes that weren’t pretty.
“Wow~ You really want to go? It’s very exciting!”
“You have changed a lot. The one who always stayed until the end.”
“I’m sorry, Leonard.”
Everyone was drunk, so their emotions were directly expressed. Somehow, it was the atmosphere of a big day when I went out. Among them, the one holding my ankle is…
“You really want to go…?”
Jeniel’s huge eyes. There was a deep sadness in those deep, beautiful eyes. Of course, the will collapsed in an instant, but the firm duty-training sentry was holding on.
It was also good to volunteer.
“Sorry, it’s time to go to the sentry.”
After saying that, I left the private room. As I closed the door, I heard a clear notification sound in my ears.
belt ring-
[Quest Complete – Jeniel’s Celebration]
▶ Reward: 200 points
◆ Retained points: 4200
4200 points already. collected a lot From now on, if you collect only 5800 points, you can purchase [Offensive Magic Legend].
I’ve come up with a good trick, so it should be possible by next Wednesday.
The manager who was waiting in front of the door escorted me to the entrance of the store.
“Thank you for coming, Professor Leonard. There is a pick-up service only for you, would you like to use it?”
30 minutes on foot to the academy. 50 minutes left. It was worth walking.
There are some things to worry about while walking.
“it’s okay. We will use it next time.”
“All right. Farewell, Professor Leonard.”
The manager bowed his head 90 degrees. I bowed lightly and came out.
As I breathed in the cool night air, my steps became lighter. On the other hand, my heart became heavy.
“under······”
In the end, Jeniel’s temporary professorship was not prevented.
But it wasn’t that there was no way.
All you have to do is to spoil the lectures for two weeks so that Jeniel won’t be selected as a professor this semester.
The professorship that Jeniel so longed for…
It is enough to trample on her dream, which she has worked harder than anyone else.
Microscopically, it’s a tragedy.
From a macro perspective, it’s for everyone.
So, let’s ignore the guilt we feel now.
“… how to interfere.”
Shall we use the decomposition defense magic “Piltrow Infuser” to tear the lecture material to shreds? Shall we imprison them for two weeks with “Barrier”?
Or should I destroy the entire classroom with [Expedium]?
As I thought about that, I began to see the main gate of the academy before I knew it.
As I was walking vaguely, I felt someone from behind.
Four Trilogy-
Looking back, I saw Amilla, a member of the Templars. When I stopped, Amilla followed suit and stopped.
“…?”
“·······”
Silence permeates the streets at night.
I asked meaninglessly.
“Are you even tailing me?”
Then Amilla was startled. As if to prove his innocence, a blood band was erected around his neck.
“Yes Yes? no. Why am I? It is overtly self-conscious.”
“It’s a joke, but it’s sensitive.”
It was annoying to deal with, so I turned around again. Jeniel’s thoughts alone made my head hurt.
Let’s quietly move forward
tadadat-
I heard a thump behind me. Before long, Amilla stepped side by side.
“Where are you on your way?”
A disapproving expression somewhere. The face reflected in the street lamp reminded me of a desert fox.
Looking at it like this, I think it looks pretty.
“I see no reason to report.”
“why? Have you been stabbing anything?”
“no. I’ve been dealing with the attack mage.”
“…Did you put it in the middle of the day?”
Amilla got angry again. I politely accepted.
“All incompetent defense mages are like that.”
“No, people can make some mistakes.”
“Who is it?”
“to. They give me 3 servings, very eye-catching.”
“·······”
As I ignored it and walked away, Amilla rushed at me.
“Oh, so where did you go?”
“Personal privacy.”
“Wow… You are defending thoroughly like a defense mage.”
“Befitting an attack mage, the way he speaks is aggressive.”
“Are you really going to end up like this? Who are you supposed to be with all night?”
“A person like that takes out all his anger on his own.”
“Yes. That’s the guide I’m paying for all by myself. why?”
At that time, when I was fighting for a long time, something stopped in front of me.
To be precise, the lines overlapped.
The top of my head comes to my shoulder line.
“…?”
When I lowered my head slightly, I was able to confirm its identity.
The white skin and long black hair that I’m used to.
A face that looks excited today.
It was Elia Agnes.
Embarrassed, Elia was momentarily at a loss for words. He froze with his eyes open like a rabbit.
“uh······”
A bill sticks out above his clenched fist. It was probably going to a hole-in-the-wall shop near the front door.
I grabbed Elia’s shoulder and turned.
“It is late. If it’s not urgent right now, tomorrow morning-“
“There are still 10 minutes left.”
This time, Amilla grabbed Elia and swerved. Elia, who quickly turned around, put her hand on her forehead and complained of dizziness.
“Egugu…”
“Are you Elijah?
“yes? yes.”
“Because my sister will go with you. Let’s go quickly.”
Amilla led Elia by force.
Elia looked at me several times while being dragged away.
“I… the professor… told me not to go-“
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Do I have to grow up and join the Immortal Knights?”
“… Nem.”
“And if you can, don’t listen to the stupid and incompetent defense mage.”
“yes······?”
The two quickly entered the hole-in-the-wall store and approached each holding banana milk in their hands. Unfortunately I didn’t have mine.
“I didn’t say anything to the professor. Never mind.”
After that, Amilla passed me by. I followed the two ahead and entered the Zenith building.
It’s obviously provocative on purpose… why is he doing his best to such an extent?
＊＊＊
same time.
Outskirts of the empire.
In a place where infinite darkness is everything, two wizards are walking side by side. Behind them, those wearing black robes formed a formation from a distance.
He said.
“Ruinel Agnes.”
“Yes, Mr. Lucaradelos.”
“What do you see?”
The wizard stopped walking and gently closed his eyes. Moments later, her eyelids lifted, revealing a red glow in her eyes.
“I can see the destroyed world…”
“Right.”
He smiled contentedly.
“Now it’s time to go see your brother.”
