57. Welcome to Calon Academy!(3)
Elina…Dead?
I couldn’t come to my senses at the shocking news.
Elina.
The Faculty of Knights, that is to say, the heroine of knights. A heroine with a cheerful personality, full of responsibility and sincere personality. It’s a heroine covered in clichés, but in a game like this, at least one or two heroines assembled from clichés are necessary.
Elina was a heroine with a fairly high recruitment rate because of her performance as a colleague.
If it’s popular, it’s not, but… This game was run with a lot of dealerism, so the human Elixir Karina covered all the damage with heals, so the tank characters were almost halfway through entertainment. .
Even so, she is one of the fastest recruiting companions and can obtain high-performance weapons through dedicated quests, so she was the heroine chosen as the first recommended companion for newbies in the knight job…
Dead?
Really?
Isn’t that a hidden camera?
“John?”
I belatedly came to my senses at Milia’s voice. This is not the time. I thanked the bespectacled girl who looked at me curiously and left.
“John! Where!”
“I have something to check.”
“Go with me!”
Milia grabbed my sleeve and walked in line with her stride. Sorry for whining and following, I shortened my stride and slowed down. There’s plenty of time anyway, so there’s no need to get excited. No matter what happens in the world, you have to be calm before you can see the way.
“John, what are you really doing? Can’t you tell me?”
I can feel Millia gripping my sleeve. Even so, it’s a weak power, but as much as the power contained in her grasp, it seems to wonder why I did it. Even if it were me, it would be awkward to ask if I suddenly rushed. What to answer I can’t tell the truth, so I have to evade it moderately.
“It’s nothing to worry about. I just vaguely remembered the past.”
“The past? Before coming to the deserted island?”
“Yes.”
“I see…”
Fortunately, Milia seemed to agree. She didn’t particularly inquire about her past. Well, despite her childlike appearance, Millia had a mature side to her. In terms of age, she’s hundreds of years older than me, which is understandable. We walked slowly across the garden again.
The destination is the Faculty of Knights.
If Elina died, she had something to check.
“Where are you going?”
“I have something to check with the Knights Faculty.”
“The Faculty of Knights? Is it related to the past?”
“Yes.”
“I can help too!”
“There is no need for that.”
There is nothing I can do to help. Anyway, today I just came to check it out.
I stood in front of the front gate of the Knights Faculty with the crossed swords and shields and looked around.
Perhaps because of the school closure, there were hardly any people in sight. Even that, no one was interested in me and Milia. Maybe it’s the aftermath of the Hell Hound incident? I secretly plucked a flower from the flower beds spread around the building of the Engineering Faculty. Pure white flowers. Is it a lily? It was also the flower that was the symbol of Elina’s family.
The ancestor of Elina’s family was a very famous knight, so it was such a famous symbol that there was a saying that the lily was the Elina family. So Elina’s family used to pass on her lily-shaped ornaments to her heirs.
Someone has a necklace. Ring someone. Someone’s earrings.
In Elina’s case, it was earrings. I entered the building thinking of Elina’s smiling face wearing her earrings. And picked up the old paper that fell on the floor and used the skill.
“Production.”
A clumsy flower quickly became a flower wrapped in clean paper. Milia tugged at my action and asked, pulling her sleeves.
“Who are you giving it to?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“…For memorial use.”
“Memorial?”
“Yes.”
When she answered that it was for a memorial service, Milia shut her mouth. It seemed that the word “For memorial service” Was on her mind. Was it too dark a word for Millia? There was a brief pause in conversation between us. Milia, who had been constantly chattering like a lark, was quiet, and her mood instantly became awkward. I’m used to this atmosphere, but Millia glanced at me as if it wasn’t the case.
I intentionally ignored that gaze and recalled the faded memories. Where was Elina’s classroom?
Second floor?
3Rd floor?
I just need to know where the new students enter the classroom.
I wonder if there is a map somewhere. I don’t know if an outsider can see it. I searched slowly from the first floor, vigilant to make sure no one was around. But was it too conspicuous? I was grabbed by an elderly middle-aged man on the stairs to the second floor.
“Who are you? Why are you walking around the Knights Faculty building?”
“I came to pay tribute to Miss Elina. No.”
Don’t try. A person may not be able to speak. Anyway, using respectful words doesn’t stick to my mouth.
“…Are you acquainted with Elina?”
“There was a relationship a long time ago.”
I tried to look as sad as possible. When I poked Milia’s side with my finger, I saw that Milia had the same melancholy expression as mine. Fortunately, the middle-aged man made a pitiful expression on my face and opened his mouth.
“Go to the end of the corridor on the right on the second floor. There is a place that Elina wrote. It’s loaded with flowers, so you’ll find it right away. And it would be better to leave right after the memorial service is over.”
You mean don’t do anything suspicious and get out of here right away? It stings me a little.
“Thank you.”
We thanked the unknown man and went upstairs. At the end of the corridor on the right on the second floor. We walked to the end of the hallway on the second floor and looked out the window. Behind the building of the Faculty of Engineers. There was a gymnasium that was bigger than the average playground.
The gymnasium, which was built for the training of engineering students, was quite crowded even though it was a holiday.
Seeing a group of people running in full heat brings back memories of my military days. I really hated cantering in the morning. Running while singing the military song was really annoying, so I used to expect rain in the morning…
“John?”
“Why did you call?”
“It was John who stopped.”
At Miria’s words, I nodded and walked forward. As I approach the end of the corridor, a somber atmosphere greets me. This is the part where you can see how big Elina’s seat was. I passed the people with melancholy faces and cautiously arrived at Elena’s seat.
Numerous flowers placed in front of the cabinet Elena must have used. Seeing water stains on the paper wrapped around the flowers, I wonder if there were people who cried while bringing the flowers. I meditated silently, placing a lily on top of the flowers, thinking about useless thoughts.
Rest well there.
I will do my best in this world.
After the memorial service, we quietly left the classroom. The next destination was the 3rd floor. A floor with classrooms and lounges for third-year students. And in that corner, there was a room that only Elina’s family could enter from generation to generation. I can’t remember exactly which way, but I wanted to check the room. Because that room will contain the clue I was looking for.
The problem is that it is not easy to enter.
So, today I thought to check only the location of the room. I quietly took Milia upstairs to the third floor. You can see the expressions of people who are puzzled by the appearance of a stranger. I ignored them and walked down the aisle. The building was quite large, so it took more than 5 minutes to walk to the end of the hallway.
“Wow… What a gorgeous door.”
Is this the door? A door that can only be opened with a seal passed down through generations. How can i get in The gaze stabbing the side of the head is stinging. I followed my gaze and turned my head to see a female student staring at me from afar.
Elina’s friend … It must be a third grader, judging by the yellow armband on her arm. Do we just look suspicious?
…If you look at my appearance, there’s no way you wouldn’t be suspicious.
“Milia. Let’s go down now.”
“Huh? He said he had to see things.”
“I saw everything.”
There is time, so there is no need to act impatiently. I quietly got out of the knights academy with Milia.
—————————
“Yo~han~ I’m hungry! Let’s go eat!”
Perhaps it was lunchtime, and when Miria left the building of the Knights Faculty, she clung to my arm and whined. Milia acting like a child made people passing by stare at us. But why would that bastard stare at her parents’ enemies and scream?
“f*cking couple bastards… Why do I…”
Ah, you were single from birth. But where do you see this as a couple? It’s a combination of a 14-year-old old man and a fresh young man. I have no eyes to see. Actually, is that a motherly solo?
…I’ve never dated a girl before.
We moved to the main building surrounded by strange glances. It was to go to the restaurant on the first floor of the main building. It was said that guests of the Dawning House could also use it, so there should be no problem eating it. And as I thought, we were able to use the restaurant without any problems. It was thanks to the fact that the title of follower of the saintess was effective in its own way.
Although it took some time to prove that identity.
“John, look at this. It’s cake!”
Don’t pay attention to dessert when you haven’t eaten yet. I took Milia’s hand and led her towards the dining corner. This makes her feel like she has a little sister who takes a lot of care. I looked at Milia, who turned her gaze towards her dining corner as she hummed.
“Shh. Everyone stares. Speak quietly.”
“Okay!”
I don’t think I understood at all. Still, because she looked like a child, the people around her looked at her with a heartwarming gaze, as if they were looking at a cute little sister.
He’s hundreds of years older than me.
“Hmm heh heh heh heh…”
Scan the dining corner. Like a school overflowing with rotten money, the menu in the dining corner was top-notch. It was hard to tell whether it was a school lunch or a buffet at a 5-star hotel, with all the dishes that looked expensive just by looking at them.
We picked up our plates, picked up enough food to eat, and sat down to enjoy a great meal. The taste is so amazing that it cannot be compared to the inn dishes I ate during the trip. After a while, I emptied my plate, savoring the delicious taste of the dish.
“I will bring more.”
“Come~”
While being sent off by Milia, we rushed to the dining corner. As I picked up the menus that I hadn’t tried right away, I tried to grab the tongs to pick up the only leftover grilled fish with plenty of seasoning. However, there was a hand that picked up the tongs a little before me.
“Uh…”
“…”
Purple eyes skim me quickly, then our eyes meet. A girl wearing rimless glasses. It looked as if a little scruffy had come from somewhere. I felt a sense of deja vu when I saw her bright purple hair.
It looks familiar.
“…Hee, hee…”
I didn’t do anything.
Why are you scared?
I tried to talk her out of it because I didn’t want her to go on like this.
… Until she ran away screaming at her.
“A monster, a monster!”
Covered with the food on the plate she threw, I sighed.
What the hell is that?
Amid the stinging glares of people, I sighed.
