Episode 59. Whist Forest(1)
Finally succeeded.
finally!
“Uh-huh….”
I dragged my heavy body towards the training room door.
No matter how much I spent at least 12 hours, I think I was immersed in it.
Then it must be midnight by now.
With that in mind, I opened the door with difficulty.
“Mr. Heinkel.”
As soon as I opened the door, I ran into Emilia.
With Emilia who seemed quite angry as well.
what. what did i do wrong
“What the hell did you do that didn’t come out like that?”
“Ah… I’m sorry. Without a word. Time flew by because I was so engrossed in it, hahahaha.”
“I was worried….”
uh?
Emilia began to sniff.
Tears began to form in his eyes, a visual that almost made him cry just by tapping it.
Of course, it’s all acting.
But I didn’t even understand why he was acting like that.
“I’m not worried. Why-“
“Why! A person who ate a slice of bread for breakfast doesn’t come out until the next morning! It’s been almost 24 hours! No matter how much I knock on the door, there’s no response from inside… ·········”.
“ah······.
Come to think of it, after moving to the president’s office, I forgot to put an alarm system on the barrier of the underground training room.
I didn’t even know that Emilia was calling from outside.
“I’m sorry for worrying you. I’ll make something like a bell next time.”
“Surely! Please! What if I collapsed inside?
Soon Emilia was angry with me.
No, you have to hit it in moderation.
Everyone knows that if I die suddenly, the intelligence service will be happy.
News of the death of a threatening person like me is always good news for them.
Even if I could be friendly with the spy agency.
no wait a minute.
How many hours have I been there than that?
“Wait a minute. What time is it?”
“It’s six in the morning.”
“ah······.”
this crazy
The date passed while I was inside.
Today is the day of the field practice class for 3 days and 2 nights in Magic Warfare.
Obviously, the meeting time was 9 o’clock.
3 hours later
That is to say…
“I don’t have time to sleep.”
“Yeah?! Did you really spend the night inside?”
You have to go to the field practice in this hazy state.
I burst into laughter as I looked into the mirror on the wall.
The dark circles were drooping with the momentum to just reach the cheeks.
“Wake me up at eight.”
“Are you going to sleep now?”
“I need to sleep at least two hours, hahahaha…”
I scrambled back to the bedroom like a zombie.
Emilia came up to me and supported me because I was anxious to see her.
No, it is true that I am very tired, but it is not to the extent that I need support…?
Still, he didn’t dislike Emilia’s gentle touch, so he didn’t shake it off.
I didn’t even have the energy to shake it off.
“I’ll wake you up at eight.”
“Thank you as always. Emilia-san….”
As soon as I threw myself on the bed, I could not overcome the rushing Suma, and I slowly calmed my consciousness.
He must have said something in the process, but I can’t remember.

“Thank you, really…. What would have happened without Emilia…”
“···········?”
Schlus fell asleep on the bed.
Looking down at him, Emilia didn’t know what to do.
Schlusus was making a sleep talk that he didn’t normally do.
‘Emilia. That’s what you call it inside.’
I always add ‘seed’ when I’m singing.
In fact, he was younger, so it was natural in a way that he didn’t say respect in his heart.
However, just knowing that fact, Emilia felt a bit shaky for some reason.
‘You must be very tired…’
Originally, I was a person who came in all night and never snored even when I slept.
To that extent, Schlus Heinkel was the perfect person when I first met him.
A commoner, who never loses his manners and formality at home and outside, has no flexibility and will never smile broadly in his life.
looked like that person.
However, the recent Schlust was different.
I have to say that these days, it is a very harmful feeling.
No, it’s actually the same on the outside.
But inside, when he was alone with Emilia, he would show a gap like this, as if his mind had been loose.
He’s changed like this…
okay. It was after Henderson’s raid.
Ever since the time Schlus saved me with my life…
‘It must be the mood.’
Emilia shook her head.
At this point, it was nothing more than a delusion.
It’s just that I wasn’t feeling particularly well today.
There is no other special reason.
Emilia repeated it to herself, as if hypnotizing herself.
‘What if now?’
A small impulse arose in Emilia’s head.
If I ask Schulus anything right now, he won’t tell the truth.
The impulse that stems from the question.
Emilia, who had confirmed that Schlus was clearly asleep, couldn’t resist the impulse.
Emilia ran her hair behind her ear so as not to tickle Schlust, and slowly tilted her head to Schlust’s ear.
The opportunity was now.
“Heinkel-san. What kind of existence is Emilia to you?”
Immediately after asking that question, Emilia was startled by herself and backed away.
If given this opportunity, I should have asked Schlust if he knew I belonged to the spy agency.
I should have asked if you were living your life acting like you knew and didn’t know.
Why the hell are you asking such a useless question?

Just as he regretted it, Schlust raised his voice.
“A person who must be protected unconditionally….”
Yes. You would.
Emilia sighed heavily.
This is something I’ve heard before.
My people are unconditionally protected or something.
It must have been the sense of responsibility and absurdity of a knight struggling to save the lives of his servants.
But at the words that came out immediately after, Emilia seemed to choke.
“No matter what I do, no matter what I do, even at the cost of my life… the person I have to protect….. without Emilia… nothing means nothing… ··.”
“······································································!
I thought I heard it wrong.
what? Even if you sacrifice your life?
Wasn’t it because he was sure Henderson was going to release him the last time he put a knife to his neck when he rescued him?
Did you really think you were ready to die?
More than that, nothing means nothing without me.
What does this mean?
“hahahaha······.”
When he came to his senses, Emilia had already run out of the bedroom.
Taking a rough breath, Emilia looked to the side and was a bit bewildered.
There was a woman with a face as red as a tomato, looking stupid.

“Hurry up, gather together. We’ll be leaving soon.”
Sergei patted me on the back while playing tennis and shouted.
Shortly thereafter, students stood in an orderly line in front of Sergei.
“There are two carriages. Those who call their names from now on can ride on the carriage on the left…”
The students all acted politely, but they couldn’t hide their slightly excited look.
It is not a battle magic that can only be learned in a stuffy room, but finally practice.
It was strange not to be excited.
‘I couldn’t compete in the fortress barrel. I’ll ask him on the way to how he’s training in swordsmanship.’
Treer glanced at Schlus, who looked tired, standing in the distance.
Making up excuses to sit next to Schlust.
‘Recently, Schlus Heinkel’s form is unusual. It’s because he’s the guy I admit. Whoops. If I put my eyes first and make friends with Schlus…”
Meanwhile, Einz was making similar excuses and was thinking of sitting next to Schlust.
If I had just ignored Schlust as a commoner from the beginning, I would have hit the ground and regretted it by now.
However, unlike other nobles, he could not buy Schlust’s antipathy because he recognized Schlust’s potential early on.
After all, the strong must associate with the strong.
The two of them quarreled over the seat next to Schlus without knowing each other-
“············”.
“············”.
After 10 minutes, they sat next to each other.
This was because Schlus was assigned to wagon 1, and Trier and Einz were assigned to wagon 2.
There was an awkward atmosphere between the two people, who had little contact with each other.
Einz, unable to bear it, opened his mouth, but-
“I’m going to die of awkwardness. My name is Einz. Einz von Wiegenstein.”
“I know.”
“············”.
I shut my mouth again at Trier’s cold voice.
Trier didn’t intend to be very sharp, but that short answer was enough to make Einz nervous.
While the two of them turned their heads to each other,
“Hmmmm….”
Schlusus was sitting in the #1 carriage with his arms crossed and his head lowered.
With that visual that it was hard to believe that he was asleep, the students felt an atmosphere that could not be reached.
Because of that, the seat next to Schlus was empty.
About an hour after the two wagons left, they had completely left the city.
“Now I want to explain this practice! Wagon 2! Can you hear me!”
Sergei’s hoarse voice resounded.
That voice was clearly reaching the second carriage, which was following the first carriage over 10 meters away from behind.
It is likely to be buried by the sound of horseshoes or wheels…
The students couldn’t help but laugh at the absurd voice.
“The place we’re heading to is the Wrist Forest! Anyone know what kind of place it is?”
The students shook their heads.
“I don’t know! Before the war, it wasn’t an empire, it was the land of a kingdom! Everyone should be careful! Because the Wrist Forest isn’t usually dangerous! It is a place full of monsters too!”
“············”.
The students’ faces turned white.
I’ve never heard of a field trip being a real practice.
“What does that mean! The Wrist Forest is the perfect place to accumulate battle data! Harsh environment! Plus, various types of enemies! Expect to evaluate your ability to cope with crisis for 3 days and 2 nights! Look forward to another surprise test! I hope you all don’t slow down!”
“············”.
In a series of words that only felt anxious, the students had no choice but to resign.
Apparently, Sergei extended the word hell training like that.
That’s BS who answer like that when sleeping?
