Love Letter From The Future chapter 133

2. The Lord is with you (54)

the night is cold

It was the way to find Delphine senior.

I was moving my steps, harming the cold night air. The academy was quiet in the middle of the night, with the final exams coming to an end.

It was time for everyone to study in the library.

Obviously, it was morning until I left the temple, but it was night before I knew it as I spent time frantically.

It was because acquaintances who heard the news of my discharge came to visit me one after another.

At first, Celine and Leto came as if it were natural. Even Seria as a bonus.

It seemed like they were still fighting every time they met, but Celine and Seria seemed to be going out together recently. Leto tipped off that Celine was participating in Seria’s training.

It seemed that the last practice period had stimulated Celine.

It was not a bad opportunity to grow as a prosecutor. I was just happy to hear that two of my dearest juniors became close.

As soon as Celine and Seria saw me, they immediately ran at me. There was no one to say who was first.

It was quite worth seeing how Seria’s arrogant expression changed to a crying expression at once. Celine gave me a slap on the back.

“Aagh! Hey Celine! For patients who have just been discharged… … .”

“I was worried, you idiot!”

Then, seeing Celine start to cry, I couldn’t say anything. Seria also looked a bit tired, probably because she had been through a lot of hardships.

I had to comfort the two juniors who looked up at me with teary eyes.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. It just seemed like it was about to die.”

“Please, Senior Ian… I want to fall Don’t do this again.”

Seria clung to me in a pleading way. I had no choice but to nod my head and clear my throat.

To be honest, I didn’t have the confidence to keep my promise.

If the letter comes tomorrow right now, isn’t it that you don’t know what will happen again.

However, there was no need to light candles in the current atmosphere. I stroked the hair or back of the two crying juniors while waiting for them to stop crying.

Leto just shook his head.

“Did you use the scroll well?”

“Very useful.”

“Then pay it back, kid. That’s more than my two months’ allowance.”

As always, the conversation between Leto and I was concise. They had nothing to hide from each other anyway. However, like a wizard, he was more rational than Celine and Seria.

He briefly told me what had happened during my absence.

“They said they were launching a massive investigation into the Gilford Orphanage. It seems that the castle and empire are making noise because of the Mine discovered in a few years.”

While stroking Celine’s weeping head, I asked in a slightly calmer voice.

“How about the flesh nest?”

“I’m investigating, but I’ve been asked to keep it a secret because it’s such an outrageous story. Won’t someone come to visit you soon?”

That was about as expected, so I nodded.

Even if a monster from a myth appeared, there was a strong possibility that it would only create public anxiety. After going through a little more clear investigation, the cause and countermeasures were to be concluded, and then the announcement would be made.

I didn’t know how long that period would take. With a high probability, it would take more than a few months.

There won’t be many places that keep historical materials from thousands of years ago right now.

Graduate students majoring in mythology or archeology should have been screaming by now.

I have no way of knowing whether it was a scream of joy or a death-bending cry.

Come to think of it, someone is coming.

It was useless to worry about it now. At least it won’t harm me, so I shook my head and shook my thoughts.

Leto looked around for a bit, then lowered his voice and spoke to me.

“I’ve heard it too, but it seems that the name of the black man who orchestrated this incident is coming out.”

“… … Where the hell do you hear that?”

I looked at Leto with a puzzled look. But Leto only sneered and shrugged. It seems to be that simple.

“Of course, as a person involved in the case, this is the information I gathered while cooperating with the investigation. The name of the person who regularly delivered hundreds of gold worth of cash to the Guilford Orphanage was written on the ledger.”

“Who is that?”

“… … ‘Mitram’.”

It was the first name I heard. As he pondered the name over and over again, Leto added with a wry smile.

“There is a high probability that he is a priest of the Dark Church.”

‘Dark Priest Mitram’.

For some reason, I had the feeling that I would be hearing that name for a while.

While I was in trouble, Celine dug deeper into my arms and buried her face in my chest. Then Seria, not to be outdone by him, dug into my arms.

Unfortunately, my arms were not big enough to hold both girls. In the end, Celine and Seria, who were crying, began to stare at each other.

“… … hey sh*t A little narrow?”

“Yes, it would be perfect if Miss Hastur got out of the way.”

And the two women start growling.

I smiled bitterly.

Fighting with each other in front of seniors, I can’t even fix my quirks with a hatchet.

After the trio left, it was Emma who came to visit me while I was resting in my dormitory room.

As soon as I opened the door, a tear-stained face suddenly entered my field of vision.

She was a lovely girl with reddish-brown hair and bright green eyes.

She asked me again as she came back carrying something.

“Ian! it’s okay?”

It was a voice full of worry. So I accidentally brought her into the room.

It was a bit embarrassing because of the bottles of alcohol placed everywhere. It was a sign of sipping alcohol alone at night to soothe loneliness.

However, Emma glanced around the room and, as if not paying too much attention to it, began pulling something out of the bundle she had been carrying.

“Now, this is a potion that helps to energize the body. And this is hornet nectar, and if you mix it with water and drink it, it helps to recover from fatigue. Also, this is porridge I made, but if you feel uncomfortable right after waking up, you can warm it up a little and eat it… … .”

I shut my mouth for a while at the majesty of the bundles of medicines, drinks, and even cooking.

I’ve been thinking about it since last time, but isn’t it too much?

Besides, I had already been indebted to Emma. Thanks to the potion she gave me, I was able to save my life.

If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be able to live and breathe like I am now, and I wouldn’t be able to talk proudly of the saintess.

So I carefully held her back.

“Emma, it’s okay. It’s been a long time since I’ve been cured anyway, and it just took me a while to regain consciousness.”

“Ha, but! Hasn’t your body weakened a lot in the meantime? what should we do… Look at how much weight you lost.”

It wasn’t the weight, it was just the loss of muscle due to not being able to exercise, but that alone made Emma cry as if her heart was being torn.

She immediately rolled up her sleeves and left.

“My, can I make something for you now? Even so, I’ve taken quite a few bridal lessons, so I’m confident in cooking. And while I’m doing it, I clean my room a bit… … .”

If you leave it as it is, it was really ready to do anything. So I had to call her name quietly.

“… … Emma.”

But Emma didn’t even pretend to hear me. Like an alchemist, once he got stuck in something, he didn’t seem to be the type to listen to others.

In the end, I decided to resort to last resort.

“Put the bottle away, and then um… Is there a lot of dust over there? The stomach has just woken up, so the food is porridge or soup, or pros… … ?”

Saying “Kyuu”, Emma’s words stopped as if she was taken aback by the hand that held her hand. Round, light green eyes looked at me.

I smiled wryly.

“Emma, it’s okay. How am I going to get your hands wet?”

Even so, it was unreasonable to have guests do housework.

But Emma reacted just the opposite of what I thought.

Her face went red, and she had a hallucination of steam rising above her head. Her head bowed.

She hesitated, then sat down in a chair, tapping her skirt. Someplace.

“… … Yes. okay.”

And Emma began to feel restless for some reason.

He glanced at me, blushed and turned his eyes away several times.

I let out a light laugh. I felt that Emma’s appearance was quite cute.

Coincidentally, Emma had something to deliver.

I got up and took out a pocket from the drawer. Then, cautiously, she pushed her pocket in front of Emma’s seat.

Emma’s eyes turned to me with questions.

I said it like it was nothing.

“It’s the price of the potion.”

At my words, Emma’s eyes went blank. She hurriedly looked into her pockets. At first glance, there were many gold coins.

In fact, it was the reward I received from the last time I caught the wolf master. Adding this and that to that would be about 150 gold.

To be honest, I wanted to add more, but the reward for defeating the monkey and the demon has not yet been paid. The same goes for finding and destroying flesh nests.

He was willing to pay Emma an extra fee if more money came later.

But as soon as Emma counted the gold coins in her pocket, she immediately burst into tears and tossed the pouch onto the table.

“That’s too many, Ian! And I don’t want to get paid… Me, I just want to help you… … !”

“Emma, you are a worthy person.”

My words were calm when I said that. So Emma could not speak any more and had to look at me with a teary face.

“I know better than anyone. So I cannot accept your hard work for free.”

“But I owe you my life… … .”

“This time you saved my life.”

I picked up the bag Emma had dropped and carefully put it back in her hand.

Her light green eyes looked up at me.

“This is all for now, but I’ll pay the debt someday.”

“… … Anyway, too many.”

To Emma’s voice, which sounded like a whimper, I replied with a light smile.

“Then let’s say we hired them, permanent employment.”

At those words, Emma’s gaze hurriedly avoided me again. What the hell is so embarrassing about?

In many ways, I don’t know, but she was such a lovely and devoted girl.

In the end, after that, I had to live on the nutritious food and porridge that Emma gave me for a few days.

The last person who came to see me was Elsie.

It was just when I was walking down the main street of the academy.

A cone-shaped hat was seen jumping around and jumping around somewhere. A little girl was looking around urgently.

The expression on his face looked very anxious. A girl with a lovely appearance was like that, so that alone made it quite a picture.

I quickly realized her true identity.

Elsie Rainella, a ‘little villain’ who was once feared at the academy.

My hand slipped. Then Elsie-senpai’s round eyes turned to me.

I greeted him with a wry smile.

“It’s been a while, Elsie-senpai.”

To be honest, it didn’t feel real even though it’s been a while.

I just closed and opened my eyes, but they said it had already been a week, so I just thought so.

But Elsie-senpai’s time seems to have flown properly, and as soon as she sees me, she puts a smile on her face.

Then he jumped up to me and held me in my arms.

It was an emotional reunion.

It would have been if it had not been for Elsie-senpai’s mouth being opened.

“… … master!”

No, why has the name changed?

A cold sweat started to run down my back, and as I looked around, it was as expected.

Passers-by’s wide eyes came out and were looking at senior Elsie.

Apparently, the problem that I was worried about exploded.
