Brown hair and eyes that look fluffy and soft like cotton candy.
A lovely appearance, a small body, and a quiet yet friendly personality aroused protective instincts in both men and women.
Despite coming from a high aristocracy in a distant foreign country, he has a warm personality to everyone.
The daughter of the Kruger family, who was so orphaned that she even received a cold shoulder. A lovely child who approached Guardia Training Kruger in an honest manner and eventually became best friends with her.
Even with someone you don’t know well, if you make eye contact, he smiles a little, and if there’s a classmate who is in trouble, he can’t help even one more.
When something upset or angry comes up and you complain, no matter how many hours you listen to it, you listen to it, comfort it, cry with it, and laugh with it without any expression of boredom or dislike, so who can hate Verbute?
‘But these days… I can’t say for sure, but… I mean, something is weird. There have been fewer people complaining.’
It’s been a few years since I’ve been like this, and it’s become a daily life, so I felt a little change, but Verbütt didn’t think it was a big deal.
‘It’s rather comfortable.’
There should be only one or two people who show their true feelings and consult with them.
It started with image management and to obtain various information contained in it, but in fact, how much benefit would it be to say that it is information spit out by young children who go to the academy.
Most of them are repertoires that are similar enough to make listeners bored or tired.
Study, job, family, friends, lovers. The trivial insecurities about such things.
So now, unless he was a child of a high-ranking nobleman, Berbut raised his hand and welcomed the decrease in such meetings.
Yes, it was at first.
“Would you like to come over to my dorm room today? Let’s talk all night together after a long time, we.”
“today? ah… I’m a bit busy today.”
“How about a cup of tea together after a long time? Come to think of it, I couldn’t do everything I said the other day.”
“Oh, that? are you okay. don’t mind.”
Even the high-ranking aristocrats, whom Verbut had cared about a little more than others, one by one.
Even if I can’t pinpoint it, this feeling that the distance between Verbut and them has subtly widened.
It wasn’t that he was openly distancing himself from Verbut. When they meet and talk, they whisper pleasantly and informatively, but strangely, the proportion of mentally leaning on Verbütt like before has decreased.
‘Why?’
Verbut sat on the sofa in the room and glanced at the female student who was doing her fingernails.
“Are there any rumors spreading within the academy these days that have anything to do with me?”
A question that is always asked.
“yes. Yes, Mr. Berbut. In particular, there are no rumors about Mr. Verbut’s name going up and down.”
always the same answer.
As always, he told me to answer only the questions he asked. Unlike the previous day, when he was satisfied with the words and moved on, Verbutt thought for a bit before opening his mouth again.
“If my reputation is the same and there are no unnecessary rumors, what do you think is the reason for the reduced tea time these days?”
The female student, who was carefully holding her hand and carefully trimming her fingernails, flinched and stopped at Verbütt’s question.
“that… I’m not sure.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Not sure, not sure?”
“… That violet.”
At that name, Verbüth rose and slapped the cheek of the female student who was trimming her nails.
“what. I must have told you to run Guardia’s errands outside the academy on the day he leaves?”
“But, but… I didn’t go out on errands. It was always only in this academy. Really.”
Killing servants of nobles, not even nobles. Even if it was a little late, it wasn’t a big deal, so there was no point in reporting to Verbütt what was going on.
If that Violet was really simply a servant.
“Tell me about it.”
“Not sure. Really! but… … .”
Verbut’s copybooks were always there. In addition to his looks, there were always people who thought that Verbütt’s popularity lay in his friendly personality, so he himself tried to treat someone and care for him.
However, since most of them are aristocrats, they always failed because of the fundamental question of why they had to listen to these stories.
“So, wouldn’t it be that only commoners or low-level nobles visited that attendant?”
Why are nobles nobles? How many people are arrogant and do not treat their inferiors as people.
Unless you were a commoner or a low-class aristocrat who grew up to be no different from them, you wouldn’t be able to say your personal words to an attendant who was not a nobleman like Berbut.
“so… That’s what I said I’m not sure.”
“okay… … . There’s no way that even high-ranking nobles fell for such an attendant, so there must be another reason.”
Just like a low-ranking aristocrat. Even if the attendant named Violet embraces dozens and hundreds of people, her status is different from that of Verbut herself.
‘But I feel bad.’
The fact that he had even a little influence enough to be pointed out as a reason in the first place was offensive to Verbut.
“If you don’t go out on errands… We must find a way to get rid of it inside the academy.”
“yes? Wouldn’t that be too dangerous?”
Verbut smiled sweetly at the female student’s words.
“One attendant is going to disappear anyway. What’s the big deal?”
* * *
“how is it?”
“It’s boring.”
this child. Are you saying that you can’t fight and that Luna and Rachel work hard but are bored?
I clicked my tongue once and turned my head. In fact, it might have seemed boring to Kane.
Luna is dealing with 4 people at the same time, and thanks to the 4 people attacking each other, she cannot immediately kill or subdue one person.
And even though Rachel is an opponent who can be beaten in a short enough time, she is deliberately dragging her time because it is a battle after a long time.
“Dare, dare!”
“dare? dare? Can you say anything other than that? They said they were mermaids, so the top of the neck is a fish, not below the waist? no, why can’t you tell me Didn’t you learn the language properly?”
Rachel is rolling her eyes and punching, but it seems to me that the damage inflicted by words is as great as the damage inflicted by fists now?
“Kuaa!”
Each time, her attack was blocked by Rachel, and the mermaid royalty, who had been hit by Rachel’s attack, suddenly roared and retreated.
“Everyone go into the sea!”
“Where are you going!”
“When this bastard is at his peak!”
In the end, Luna and Rachel chase after the mermaids who have been pushed into the sea and jump into the water.
In the middle, a column of water rose as if a bomb had exploded, and a nearby rock erupted with a bang and split in half.
“Wouldn’t it be better if I ended it?”
Seeing that, Kane quietly opened his mouth.
It’s not wrong to say that mermaids become stronger underwater. Shall we drop Kane at this point and finish it off?
– Manager. I’m back.
Just as he was about to answer Kane, Leaf walked over, rolling up his wet hair and wringing it out with one hand.
“great job. Change your clothes when you get to the boat.”
The moment I greeted Riff with a smile.
pop!
“hmm.”
“uh?”
“Ahh! My stomach!”
The boat we were in, floating on the sea, heard a pop and began to slowly roll to one side.
“Wait a minute, what is this?”
No, I sent a riff to protect the ship, but why did it explode, that’s it.
“Kane!”
As soon as I give the signal, Kane steps on the water and runs.
As if there was a commotion on the boat, I hurriedly packed my things, jumped into the sea, and started swimming this way.
Most of them were rescued by Kane, and some by Luna and Rachel. Fortunately, there were no casualties… … .
“… Please explain what happened.”
I glanced at the sailors who had turned into drowned mice and the captain who was bewildered with a vain face, and opened my mouth while lighting the fire.
“I’m sorry, Bocchan.”
“no. Because they are pushed, they suddenly go to the ship and crash into it, whether or not their colleagues die. He must have been deliberately trying to embarrass us.”
“I managed to catch two people who couldn’t go, but… … .”
“It’s underwater, so this is just… I also got them both in order, but the unluckiest one ended up breaking it.”
oops, doo
I grabbed my forehead as if hitting it.
“First, change your wet clothes.”
Did the accident happen anyway? After taking out the magic tent and personal luggage bag from the subspace, I sat down on a chair and let out a pained sound.
“Have you checked?”
“There is no such thing as a good ship.”
Just in case, I asked Kane to search the entire island and find out where the boats used by the people who originally lived were located.
“What do you think?”
“It’s only a matter of time before we can get out.”
Well, everyone except me can cross the sea. Depending on the total amount of mana or control, the time difference may fly, but it is said that there is no ship, so you cannot move at all.
After walking aimlessly, when the island comes out, land for a while and rest.
If you work hard like that for days and days, eventually an island with people will come out.
So, one way or another, there is a way.
“Then what about those people?”
“What do you want me to do?”
I glanced at the sailors who were huddled together over a bonfire at a distance from us to dry their wet clothes, and the captain who looked as if he had lost everything as the ship sank.
“It is our responsibility.”
The other side also glances at us from time to time and then averts its eyes. It seems like it wants to cling to it, but it seems that it is afraid of clinging to it after seeing them fighting mermaids.
Well, in the case of ordinary nobles and strong people, it would be fortunate if they did not cut their throats just because they were bothering them.
“We need a boat to take them all.”
Kane was right. Yeah, that’s not going to happen with a small boat.
In the first place, it was a place so remote that the Evil Gods made offerings.
Waiting for a passing ship is nonsense.
But will you send us the boat after we go out first? know exactly where this is. But taking only one of them who knows where this place is is a burden.
With the exception of Kane, just moving on the water for hours would be enough.
Besides, food is also a problem. There are no boats, no proper fishing gear, no big gardens, and almost no fruit trees.
If they are left alone, some, if not all, are in a situation where they do not know what will happen to them due to starvation.
“… Kane, you alone.”
“hate.”
what man
“Why don’t you like it?”
“To be honest, because of the uniqueness of the sea, it is not possible to find the location of this place only by looking at it.”
Literally, only those who know the sea route and the terrain around it can find this island. It was virtually impossible for Kane to go to the mainland to ask for help and come back alone.
The question is, can you trust him even if he takes the guide out?
“The battle with the mermaids created fear for us. In addition, I don’t think they just escaped by boat from an uninhabited island, so if I took them out, they would want to go back.”
The moment you think you can survive only if you are strong enough to walk on water, you will never go out to sea again.
In addition, we arbitrarily intercepted the place where we should have reported it in order to check the offerings of the Church of Evil.
Kane couldn’t stand the time it took to find a boat to come here again, sign a contract, trust the words of the guide who took one person out, and return to the island.
‘In addition to that, the hatred of people has decreased to some extent, but Kane bargains alone to get a ship in this place where there are many rough sailors?’
… okay. It’s a bit difficult, that.
Luna wouldn’t leave without me, and if that’s the case, it’s obvious she’ll tell Kane to go, and Leaf is excluded due to language problems.
Rachel is.
“The mana of water is not compatible with me. It is possible for a while, but it is difficult to move or swim on the water for several days.”
Send Kane, Kane!
The moment I pulled my hair out while watching Rachel do it.
＜Adelian. Where are you?＞
I raised my head at the momentary siren.
Zero?
