Cheating on Each Other
“What is ahead, Master?”
I asked.
Although Master looked excited, he wasn’t particularly nervous.
But instead of answering me, she turned her gaze to the other party members.
“Well… Will you watch over there for a while?”
“yes?”
Everyone, including me, looked suspicious.
Anyway, the three of them turned around according to Master’s words.
‘I can’t feel anything over there.’
When I think about whether my senses are still lacking compared to Master.
“Louis, you too.”
“yes… ”
As I turned around thinking about what the hell was going on, I heard a rustling sound from behind.
Immediately after, Master grabbed me and turned me back.
“what… ”
“Shh.”
I closed my mouth.
Master turned to my back and hugged me close to me.
“Hey!”
A groan of embarrassment came out of my mouth.
Either way, Master raised his arms and really hugged me…
‘??’
… I did not lose, and carefully pulled the necklace from my neck forward.
He held it out of view, and hung it on a branch in front of us.
On another branch of the same tree, there was already another necklace hanging from Master.
“Come this way.”
Master whispers, takes my hand and walks away.
After moving a reasonable distance, Master stopped.
“what happened? Are you trying to say something that shouldn’t be recorded?”
I asked.
“Yes, yes.”
Master nodded, and I asked again.
“What the hell is going on… ?”
“I found Leo’s party right in front of me.”
“Why… ”
I tilted my head, frowned at the thought that came to my mind at the moment and asked.
“Could they be plotting strange things again?”
Master shakes his head.
“No, rather the opposite.”
“yes?”
On the contrary, what is that…
“Isn’t our party lacking a sword?”
“ah.”
“What do you think?”
I replied with a grin.
“Don’t you know what to think?”
“I knew you would like it, disciple!”
Master also smiles after me.
“By the way, if you ever get caught or get caught on a necklace… ”
“You know my skills, my disciple.”
“I know. It’s just that I’m worried.”
“Hi-Hi… Thank you for your concern, but you don’t have to, my son! Trust only this Master and wait!”
Master strokes my hair and says,
But that’s it.
“Wait? me too… ”
“Then you really get caught.”
sh*t.
I wanted to refute it, but it was true that my stealth skills were still lacking compared to Master.
I didn’t think there was any need to worry about getting caught at Leo’s party.
Because it’s hard to guarantee that they won’t be filmed in their recording artifacts.
“still… ”
“Don’t worry, just explain it to the kids! I will be back soon!”
After leaving those words, Master disappeared through the bushes in an instant.
I went back to Seth.
“Everyone, stay still… ”
I headed to the back of the set and began to carefully remove the necklace.
“Hee!”
When I put my hand on Veronica’s neck, she twitches.
“Lou, Louie?”
Next was Aine.
“Wow, what!”
Aine also stuttered in a very bewildered voice.
“Sigh!”
Felice made a strange noise.
“Louis… ?”
I hung the necklace on a suitable branch like Master did, and took the three of them and headed a little further away.
There, I explained to the three what Master had gone to do.
“Oh oh… ”
Veronica and Aine shed admiration again with respectful eyes.
“Again, because of me… ”
Felice muttered with a guilty face.
No, I was the one who threw the sword first.
Anyway, after explaining the situation to them.
We went back to our seats and waited for a while, and Master returned immediately.
Master holds a long sword provided by the academy in his hand and waves to us.
I smiled brightly at Master.
After all, Master, it is an easy success.
Seeing the necklace hung around Felice’s neck again.
Master handed Felice a sword and said chicly.
“I came and picked it up.”
“Go, thank you… ”
Perhaps he was conscious of the necklace, Master put his ear to me and whispered in a barely audible voice.
“It’s Leo.”
At those words, I giggled with Master.
—
“ok? what.”
Leo mumbled in an annoyed voice.
Still, in the hot and humid weather, water was not common, so I couldn’t wash it properly.
Even if I found a river or stream and washed it, I was soon covered in sweat again.
There were a lot of bugs out there, wondering if someone was not in the jungle.
There were as many small beasts as worms.
And above all, I was hungry.
The food provided by the academy had already been eaten, and it was not easy to find food in the forest.
Anyway, I was in a state of irritability for all sorts of reasons.
Now I have one more reason to be annoyed.
“Where did my sword go?”
Leo and his party members found a small clearing and were taking a break.
And then, I was about to start again.
For some reason, Leo’s sword was nowhere to be seen.
Leo’s annoyed voice makes the party members very nervous.
In fact, most of the work was done by other party members, and especially the party members were having a much harder time than Leo in order not to go against Leo’s planting.
That’s why, upon hearing Leo’s voice, everyone felt like sighing.
Like that or not, Leo was just as angry as Leo.
I definitely remember putting the sword right next to it, but I can’t even see where it went.
“damn!”
He shouted in anger, but there was no way that the sword Alice had brought would appear.
Everyone looked around to avoid taking Leo’s wrath.
In the end, the sword was not found.
“I, Leo… In case you dropped it in the middle… ”
One party member cautiously spoke out.
“ha? Are you sure I put it down next to you?”
“Mi-sorry!”
His words only aggravated Leo’s annoyance.
“Leo, maybe someone stole it… ?”
This time, Elin raised her opinion in a very cautious voice.
She was surprisingly sharp, though.
“What? Do you think I wouldn’t have noticed if someone was stealing from me right next to me?”
“Oh no!”
At Leo’s annoyed voice, Elin immediately lowered her head.
Because it was Leo who didn’t like Elin lately.
In order to change his mind, Elin was in a position to please Leo somehow.
No matter how humiliating or disgusting it may be as a noble elf.
Anyway, there was no way for them to know the truth, not even feeling Alice’s presence.
In the end, Leo opted for a simpler method.
“Hey, give it up.”
“Hey, here you go… ”
One of the party members immediately handed over the sword he had.
There was a bit of regret in his voice, but he acted quickly so as not to offend Leo.
It was a sword that was provided by the academy anyway, but I was annoyed because I couldn’t find it until the end.
Soon the sun started to set.
The dark forest was not bright even in the middle of the day because of the trees that covered the sky.
Still, it was nothing compared to the night.
While Leo sat and chatted with the saintess, feeling a little better.
The other party members began to make a place to spend the night using twigs and leaves.
After all the seats were ready, it was time to set the order of the non-visitors.
Of course, no one dared tell Leo to stay vigilant.
As usual, I was thinking of leaving out Leo.
“Today, I will also be vigilant.”
Everyone was surprised by Leo’s words like that.
“The order will be first.”
Of course, he arranged the order according to his will, but the fact that he voluntarily set a non-stop call was a surprise to everyone.
And then again after some time.
Everyone except Leo lay down and fell asleep.
beep.
A sound is heard among the bushes.
It was a very high and unpleasant sound that I had heard during the day before and could not miss it.
Others thought it was just the sound of a bird in the Dark Forest.
Leo, who had heard the sound even before the practice test, knew it was a signal.
Leo carefully gets up and takes off the necklace.
Because the upcoming meeting should not be noticed by anyone.
Putting down the necklace appropriately, he stepped into the bushes.
how much did it move
There was a man in front of him.
He was one of the teaching assistants who came here with the cadets to Bearn Island.
Leo smiles bitterly.
His father said that he would no longer have family support, and that he would forbid any arbitrary use of family members.
where would that be possible?
He was the heir to the Duke of Epsilt, and there were a lot of people in the family who wanted to do good to him.
Besides, how can you prevent yourself from using your family name and prestige outside the realm?
“Anything?”
Leo asks the assistant in front.
