073. I want to rest (2)
‘Why are these people here… … I quickly forgot the thought of ‘?’.
It is very common sense for parents to come to us because they are worried about their seriously injured child.
However, it didn’t seem very common sense that Sieg Blackfire was here.
‘It’s strange.’
I couldn’t even imagine seeing a pale face that looked like me on the ceiling of an unfamiliar hospital.
Blackfire is at the academy. Weird enough.
“Well… … .”
“Are you out of your mind! Aren!”
My father, Sieg Blackfire, grabbed me by the shoulder and shook me. ‘I have a headache… … .’ My voice didn’t come out right.
“Bocchan, how are you?”
Annie, who was politely clasping her hands next to Sieg, asked. Seeing that his expression wasn’t good, he must have thought a lot about me.
Seeing them reminded me that I had been seriously injured and that I had undergone major surgery accompanied by a doctor and a priest.
“Yes… … . My head hurts a little.”
I answered in a weak voice.
“Annie, go and get the doctor.”
“Yes. All right.”
Annie disappears like the wind, and as I follow her gaze as she exits, I realize that I am not the only one in this hospital room.
dumb dumb.
Cain, who was eating an apple, was sitting on a sickbed, and next to him, a woman who looked like Cain’s maid was peeling apples.
As I met Cain’s eyes, tears began to form in her eyes. With a bite full of apples.
‘… … Why are you trying to cry again?’
with a bang! Cain met my eyes and turned his head. Why? For a while, I was robbed of my gaze by Cain’s puffy cheeks as he stuffed an apple into his mouth.
“ha. Hey. Do you know how worried your father was?”
“… … sorry.”
“done. If you wake up safely, that’s it.”
I am the person who will become the head of Blackfire in the future. All the family members of this family must be worried about me. I apologized because I didn’t seem to have worried one or two people.
“I heard everything from that good student over there. Were you attacked by a monster again?”
Cain glanced at me again. He murmurs and nods his head. My eyes are still red with tears. If you’re going to cry, cry, if you want an apple, eat it… … .
I’m sorry for nothing
‘Well, it seems that he covered it well.’
As I had requested, it seemed that Regalug was kept a well-kept secret.
“It’s something I shouldn’t let go of once, but I can’t stand it twice.”
Sieg’s voice was heavier than usual. A quiet anger is felt.
“Your mother has already visited the board of directors. It must have been overturned by now. I wonder how messed up the academy security is. Tsk.”
People from Black Fire broke into the academy and asked why they kept being invaded by ‘monsters’… … . It must be a spectacle that is hard to see even with money.
It’s crazy.
If you think of Blackfire, who walks around the hospital in a casual academy scene, dressed as a pure-blood aristocrat in the middle ages.
Sieg, for a moment put aside the question of why this person is wearing a black panther skin cape.
“I… … How long have I been lying down?”
“Two weeks. It’s like two weeks. Son, are you all right?”
2 weeks?
I’ve been lying down for a long time
In fact, if I think about my physical condition right before entering the operating room, I nod my head even if I haven’t woken up for two months, not two weeks.
Rather, it was close to a miracle that he was holding on to his spirit even after the Magi exploded.
Perhaps thanks to the ‘Shadow Hand’, he was able to maintain his sanity to some extent.
If two weeks had passed since the festival day, the final exams would have been over. Well, it was the point of going up to the second year, so the grades themselves were not very effective.
If I go up to the second grade anyway, I can’t go up to the third grade, so I have to take classes with the remaining senior jockeys, so my class is about to change.
I was curious about the later story, but I couldn’t ask Cain for details because Sieg was so attached right now.
Sieg added, placing a hand on my shoulder.
“As for the arm, does the left arm move?”
Hearing that, I folded my left arm, extended it, and repeated. It was not difficult to raise the arm. I could feel the soreness as if my skin hadn’t healed properly yet, but this much would get better with time.
“Yes… … it’s okay.”
“Whoa. That’s good.”
Then Annie returned with the doctor. Sieg asked for a closer look and moved away.
The diagnostic results were generally good. The speed of wound healing was good, and the operation went well, so it is said that there is no harm to health.
The doctor left the hospital room after saying that Julius had to come and take a look at the problem of mental contamination.
“Good thing. I’m so glad.”
Sieg held his son’s hand tightly and emphasized it several times. I’m glad the price didn’t stop… … . this human?
After confirming that there was no problem with my health, Sieg continued to joke around with his original self.
“okay. Then, this father will get out of here. Take a good rest and talk with your friends.”
Sieg patted me on the shoulder and stood up. Then, he greeted Cain with a worldly smile and left the hospital room.
Cain whimpered and greeted Sieg.
The timing of the hit and run was amazing.
“… … .”
“Isn’t Annie going out?”
“I have to take care of the young master.”
Annie answered, sitting close to me in the seat next to me.
This is difficult.
“there. Excuse me, could you please step aside for a moment? Cain and I have something to talk about.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. It only takes a moment.”
“I will wait outside. Call me if necessary.”
Annie didn’t respond to my words and got up from her chair. When Annie woke up, a black maid outfit with a red frill caught her attention. This place is all white… … .
Cain winked at his lady-in-waiting and sent her outside.
Me and Cain, the two of us alone, asked her straight away.
“How is it?”
“Huh… … Do you ask that as soon as you wake up? After two weeks of barely breathing?”
“… … I wish I could live.”
“Ugh!”
Cain clenched his fists. If I said one more nonsense, I was going to feed my head with honey chestnuts.
Why are you angry and fussing… … .
I was taken aback by Cain’s quick-fire reaction.
“Worry about your body first. you stupid. How is your body? How are you feeling?”
“I’m okay. Are you really okay with your left arm?”
Looking at Cain, he still had a bandage on his arm. She decided to ignore the romance novel on her lap.
“yes? me, i’m fine I was almost healed, but I was told not to do anything until I was completely healed. What, look at what!”
flutter, flutter. phut! phut!
Oh, to say I don’t see… … . Cain blushed and hid the novel under the covers.
“okay. thank god.”
I said with a smile.
“Wake up, wake up and congratulations. I thought you were really dead.”
Cain turns his head and sniffs his nose. Even if I tickle, it seems that my worries were inexhaustible. Because it has a very cute corner.
well, that’s it I have to ask for water.
“So, what happened while I was asleep?”
What I asked was about the ‘Hero’s Room’ and what happened after Zeroth went missing.
“That’s a little bit embarrassing.”
“… … why?”
“As soon as the headmaster returned, he was called back to the royal palace again.”
Here’s what I’m talking about while I’m lying down.
That me and Cain had become like this was only discovered by Gilliott and Julius on the same day.
Cain decided not to tell me the details until I woke up, and just covered up that he was attacked by a monster.
In the end, Zeros disappeared on the day of the festival, and it is believed that the monster attack and Zeros’ disappearance are related, and the investigation is still ongoing.
Returning from the duchy, Pompey was summoned back to the royal family before he could fully understand the case.
Of course, at the same time as the monster attack, the captain of the royal knights’ storm troop disappeared, so the only person to take responsibility for this was Pompey.
The situation is like this, and even now, two weeks later, nothing has been properly resolved.
It was because I, the person in charge, hadn’t woken up, and Pompey, who was in charge of everything, was absent.
First of all, Zeros was temporarily absent from the academy, and the academy was running as if nothing had happened.
It’s like Cain and I just drifted off in the middle of the semester.
A sparrow sits by the window and chirps. Well, taking a break like this wasn’t too bad.
“What are you going to do now?”
“uh? Well… … .”
There was a lot to do.
Since vacation is coming soon, it is time to prepare for the operation to rescue Shiana. If Viktor’s persuasion fails, I have to think about going into the church myself and getting acceptance, and I have to arrange a place for Sianna to stay at my mansion during the vacation.
And since the story went out of whack, it won’t be without this effect. There is no way Argon and Diamon will leave me alone because I used the ‘Shadow Hand’ right away.
In addition, you have to get the Holy Sword back from Hilda, and you have to meet Lorena to check how the magic extraction research is going.
After the vacation, another key event in Act 3, 「The Principal’s Impeachment Case」, takes place. This episode was intended to be comfortable because it was decided whether or not Pompey would be impeached based solely on Ackerman’s choice, but it became a headache because I replaced Ackerman’s role.
The more I think about it, the more my bones hurt.
What do you have so much to do? Ackerman rolls and I try to suck the honey quietly next to it, but it doesn’t flow like I want.
I also wanted to buy it and suffer.
Still, if I hadn’t stepped forward, Regalug would have been resurrected, so in the end it was a good thing.
As long as I don’t completely disappear from this world, variables will continue to arise.
“under… … .”
I’m really tired. I feel tired.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Cain, who got out of his bed and approached me, touched my forehead with his right hand, then put his hand on his own.
“You seem to have a little fever?”
An anxious face. I wondered if he was a kid who knew how to make such a kind expression. You did a good job saving it. I’m also worried about Cain. this is healing
“I’ll rest for a bit… … .”
Even though vacation is just around the corner, there is still time left, so I wanted to take a break.
Eat, play and sleep without any worries, even for a few days.
“okay? You must be very sick. Not even that. Come on, rest. I’ll get you out.”
“… … .”
I closed my eyes. It didn’t matter whether Cain sang or danced next to him, but he had no reason to refuse to be left alone.
Squeak. The sound of opening the door is also cautious. But no sound came out. Listen. Cain returned to his place.
I wonder what’s going on, I open my eyes and look towards the door-
“Aren!”
Isn’t Siana standing there holding a flower?
Come to think of it, there was a fresh sage flower next to my hospital bed. The flower language of sage means to wish for good health.
No matter who sees it, Siana brought it.
Did he come every day and change the flowers?
‘… … It’s impressive.’
How can two of these pretty guys worry about me? It seems that he did not live carelessly in this world. the tip of the nose is frowning
“Aren! How, what happened! Are you okay with your body? when did you wake up Why didn’t you tell me!”
Shiana, who shoots questions like bullets, sticks close to me and examines my body. I touched my arm, checked the wound on my cheek with my own two eyes… … .
If anyone sees it, they’ll think that Siana is my maid.
Anyway, thanks to Siana, I saved my life once.
It looks like they planted their familiars in the magic framed goods… … The intention was impure, but I decided not to bring it out. As a result, I got Siana’s help.
“I just woke up.”
I calmed Sianna down and talked to her step by step.
I just woke up, and I feel fine. Did you come to see me in the hospital? Thank you. Flowers are so pretty OK. what? Cain You want to eat too? I do not care. Why Cain? Doesn’t Cain eat those things? Are you craving these days? okay? Really? suddenly? at this timing? etc… … .
As we were talking with Sianna for a while again, Cain suddenly held out his hand with a hmmm hmmm.
“Do you want an apple?”
At the same time, he came down from his hospital bed and forced an apology into my mouth.
“What is this… … .”
“Wasn’t Cain planning to leave earlier?”
Cyana looked back at Cain with a smile on her face. Cain also laughed.
“Ahaha. Come to think of it, I’m a bit tired too. Don’t worry, let’s talk~”
“okay? Have a nice day, Cain. Perfect for a walk too! Nice weather!”
“I see. I’ll take a walk later. later. I am tired now.”
The half-opened Siana’s eyes twisted as if she didn’t like it.
What is this suffocating conversation?
In those short words, I felt the waves as if martial arts masters had competed dozens of times.
The atmosphere was so cold that I wondered if the two of them had fought while I was lying down. I wondered if it was an illusion, but seeing that the kind-hearted Cyana wasn’t smiling at all, she was clearly not in a favorable state for Cain.
Shiana turned her head again and asked me. Cain’s ears perked up.
“Aren. Are you really in good shape? yes?”
“Ummm. it’s okay.”
I replied while chewing on an apple. With the words ‘Thank God’, Siana started unpacking her luggage in earnest.
All kinds of healthful medicines and herbs. Magical tools, artifacts, heal packs, spells, etc. that help with healing.
It seemed that he had brought all of the sponsorships that could be of help to him.
“Aren! I’ll give you all this! Should I eat and get well soon?”
A bright smile was engraved on Siana’s face as she said that.
.
.
.
.
.
“Aww! No. don’t take it Aren has to eat it all. Yeah? It’s too much!”
Of course, I was banned from all the nurses who came out to check my condition.
Not long after, Siana got up from her seat.
“Aren, will you come again tomorrow? Rest in peace! Be careful!”
I don’t know what to be careful of, but at the end, Shiana was looking at Cain. Cheer! It seems that sparks flew between the two.
As it turns out, Shiana ran to me during a 15-minute break in class.
Since it was the end of the semester, Shiana also had many things to worry about, such as exams, teaching assistants, and managing the flora and fauna museum, so she said that she came to visit me every day.
On weekends, he watched the anime and told me to take a break and stayed with him all day.
They say that when my parents came, they ran away and hid somewhere. A child you don’t know
“What a lovely young lady.”
As Cianna left, Annie entered and whispered with her eyes bent like half moons.
“Even the young lady sitting next to you cared about you a lot without knowing it, right? He was kind. It’s cute, both of you.”
“by the way… … Why are you talking in a whisper?”
“Uh-huh. After all, the lady next to you would be ashamed.”
“?”
at least… … What are you talking about?
Anyway, Shiana has left, and Cain is reading a romance novel in the seat next to him, covered with a blanket.
It was a time when I was pounding on the futon, hoping I could finally get some sleep.
smart.
A knocking sound that makes the tap turn.
Oh, I want to take a break!
Oh, I almost screamed, but I couldn’t. I’m not crazy about anything. ‘Cause I’m a noble
I winked at Annie. Then Annie walked over and opened the door to the hospital room.
‘… … !’
When I opened the hospital room door, the person standing there was beyond my expectations. At most, he thought of his parents, Giliot, and Julius.
“Cadet Aren Blackfire. May I come in?”
“… … Yes.”
Heavy, but restrained mid-bass. She looks like a beautiful woman in her 20s, but she is actually in her 60s. It is an appearance that has covered the traces of time with magic.
Her name is Ains Neromeri.
In the absence of Principal Pompeius, he was a vice principal who concurrently held the position of principal as acting principal, and was one of the candidates for the final boss of Act 3.
There was only one reason why Vice Principal Eins came to visit me at this timing.
Impeachment of Pompey.
I’d like to avoid it if possible, but it turned out like this.
As the final chapter of the second act was brought forward, there was still time until the vacation, so the third act began to proceed a little earlier.
The atmosphere was unusual. At first, I calmly greeted the hospital bed with a nod.
“I would like the others to step aside.”
There was charisma in his low-pitched voice.
After my permission was granted, Annie quietly left the room. Cain and the maid were also there.
space left alone.
“Cadet Aren Blackfire. I will ask you one thing.”
“… … .”
Eins, who confirmed that the people outside had moved away slightly, opened his heavy mouth only after using noise blocking magic.
“What do you think about the impeachment of Principal Pompey?”
The key to determine the ending of Act 3 came into my hands.
