39. afterthought
“Hmm.”
The situation itself didn’t last that long, but it took longer than expected to wait for the knights Heini called to arrive or to be investigated.
Thanks to you, the dawn past midnight.
If the dean didn’t tell me that I could skip the lecture tomorrow, I’d have been hit.
The kids who just fought have already left, and Mei and I, who were the main members, stayed and talked until the very end, so it was delayed.
Of course, the knights were guarding the way back just in case.
“Why is he like that?”
“who?”
Mei was curled up like a squirrel when I rescued her, but now that she’s completely fine, Mei is no different than usual.
Scratching his head and rolling his eyes.
“It’s Lynn. You say you’ll keep waiting, what are you dating?”
“No… Well, there are some circumstances.”
“circumstances? what?”
I wondered why he was so tenacious, but I kept my mouth shut because I couldn’t speak out about Rin’s personal feelings.
Then Mei said it was no fun and poked out her lips, and I smiled as I looked at her like that.
“Are you all over now?”
I said this because Mei had only avoided talking to me before today, but she avoids looking at me because she is embarrassed for something.
“If everything is solved, what will be solved? It’s just that I wasn’t ready to apologize.”
“What?”
Of course, I thought I couldn’t forgive myself for taking advantage of myself, but suddenly I apologize?
“Because I made a mistake first and used force. I think I was punished because I did something wrong. Rather, I’m sorry I tried to expel you from school.”
“……Who are you?”
“What?”
“No, why is he doing this all of a sudden? Did the thugs give you any medicine? knight man! He’s weird here!”
Really urgently, I press my cheeks with both hands and look around.
The knights who were walking in front of us also approached me, wondering what was going on, but Mei blushed and pushed me away.
“done! No apologies! Wow! Cancel!”
“Kuk-ku.”
Yes, this is Mei-like.
The knights started walking again, saying it was no big deal, and while I was walking with my hands in my pockets, May asked me while looking at the floating stars.
“We must be preparing for the festival now.”
May now.
This is the season when preparations for the Thanksgiving Festival, the festival of Aios Academy, are in full swing.
I heard that clubs that have a lot to prepare for or that are fast are already starting to prepare.
“Do you know what your class is up to?”
“How do you know? We haven’t even talked about it yet.”
I thought it was talking about a festival all of a sudden, but Mei rolls her eyes here and there, then bows her head and asks a small question.
“Then I’ll write a wish ticket.”
“……yes?”
“Come with me to the festival.”
“……”
What should I say here?
Although he was a man who was completely ignorant of dating, he became aware of things such as Eris’ proposal and Rin’s confession.
And it felt similar to them.
“Guys, go in now.”
“You worked hard today, it must have been very difficult.”
As I was walking without saying anything, I arrived at the dormitory. The knights told us to enter carefully and went back.
Me and May standing in front of the dormitory.
A situation where I don’t know what to say.
Mei followed me as I stood still and kept her mouth shut and looked at me. Clearly and firmly without looking away.
“It’s over there.”
Scratching the back of the head and barely putting it on.
What I had to say was clear.
“I have someone I like.”
“……”
Mei didn’t change her expression, as if she had expected it.
“So I can’t date you.”
“Is it Lynn?”
It was a reasonable doubt, but I shook my head.
“no. Well, he’s not in the academy.”
“Are you dating?”
“……No, not really.”
“Is this a one-sided love affair?”
“Well, you can see it that way, but it’s also not like that.”
It is a position where I received a proposal for a marriage.
Of course, although I was in a previous life, I have a heart for her and I plan to meet her again and do well.
Thinking about it that way, it seemed that it would be appropriate to express it as unrequited love right now.
Then May snorts.
“Okay, okay. For now, leave the right to wish. Come with me at the festival. During the four-day festival, he sticks by my side all day long.”
“……Did I just miscommunicate the words?”
I must have politely declined saying that there was someone I liked.
Then, with an expression of no big deal, Mei rummaged through her pockets and tried to take out candy and eat it, but the kidnapped person had candy.
I just swiped the empty pocket with my hand once.
Mei replied with a chuckle.
“Aren’t you going to try to be good with the person you have a crush on?”
“…I’m going to do it.”
When I met Eris, I thought I would do my best to appeal to her.
Mei nodded her head boldly.
“Am I going to do it too?”
“……”
“You can and I can’t? This is completely mine.”
“No, it’s not like that…”
what.
For the first time, I felt like I was being pushed by Mei, so I felt a strange pang, but I couldn’t answer properly.
Perhaps this is a feeling that Mei is also feeling, and she creeps forward with a funny face.
“Yes, you.”
Mei smiled even more mischievously as she took a step back without even realizing it.
“Are you weak against things like this?”
“What?”
“No, he usually acts like an old man who seems to have lived the whole world alone, and when he fights, he’s very strong, but when it comes to dating, he’s a sucker.”
“……”
What can I do?
I mean, I spent as much as 10 years fighting and frying with the demons in the forest. I didn’t even notice Eris’ feelings until the last moment.
Feeling strangely uneasy about Mei taking another step closer, I took a step back and stretched out my hands in response.
“Stop! Don’t come any closer!”
I warned, but May grabbed my wrist with her hand, spread it out to the side, and dug in through the gap.
I was looking down because I was slightly taller, and it was so close that the bridge of my nose seemed to be touching.
I turned my head away in embarrassment without knowing it, and May came closer and whispered secretly in my ear.
“So, who told you to save me so nicely?”
Mei quickly lets go of her hand and goes inside the dormitory.
I exhale, fanning my flushed face with my hands.
Normally, I passed on thinking that these were just little kids, but when I pushed them so aggressively, I felt my heart pounding without even realizing it.
‘It’s embarrassing.’
The moment I let out a sigh wondering why I had definitely refused.
Sen, a girl with bleached white hair, jumps down from the 4th floor of the dormitory.
I knew it was a pretty dangerous situation today, but I’m glad I survived anyway.
There were no wounds.
“What’s up?”
When asked with arms crossed pretending to be nothing, Sen picks his nose once with an expressionless expression and turns.
I guess I was just looking at the situation before.
“……Pretend you didn’t see it.”
When I hinted at my warning, Sen shrugged and didn’t answer.
“Thank you for your work today. I heard that you took the initiative in solving the case.”
“It was just a coincidence that I saved you. If I had been alone, I would have been late. Thanks to Ares who moved first, thank him.”
“Yes, I will tell Ares and others.”
Sen, who had been bowing down, slowly raised his head and made eye contact with me.
“Is it okay if I ask you just one question?”
“No, I will go and sleep.”
already too tired
I don’t have to go to class tomorrow because of the dean’s consideration, but I still wanted to wash up quickly and lie down on the bed and go to sleep.
However, this also opens its mouth while ignoring my answer.
“How are you so strong?”
“Didn’t I tell you not to ask?”
“As you know, I am the Scouting Squad. We have been growing since we were 4 years old, receiving various trainings. I think I’m pretty strong among people my age on the continent.”
“Yes, I guess.”
In fact, if you were to pick a strong student in the 3rd year of Aios Academy, your five fingers would have Sen.
“But you are completely different. It’s as if you’ve been fighting all your life. It’s like we’ve already reached a point we can’t reach at our age.”
“……”
It wasn’t wrong.
Of course, I had intense training with my current body, but the experience at the time had a big impact on me.
“……”
I said no, so I just ignored her and walked past her into the dorm, and she didn’t even bother to hold me.
Come into my room and take a quick shower.
I felt like the hot water was comforting my body, which had been busy all day, so I smiled spontaneously.
“This is happiness.”
After confirming that I didn’t bring clothes to change because I was rushing into the bathroom, I wiped off my body with a towel and went out to change clothes.
I was going to lie down on the bed right away, but why?
The duvet on the bed was sticking out.
as if someone were
“……”
I really wanted to, so I secretly took my sword and opened the blanket.
“Coo.”
Rin was asleep with her body curled up.
*
After the investigation, Lynn said she would continue to wait for Daniel, but he stubbornly refused, so she returned to the dormitory with Ares and his fishing friends.
“Rin, are you hurt anywhere?”
“Yeah, I only used magic from behind, so I’m not seriously hurt.”
“I’m glad.”
Ares is just being kinder to himself.
As a childhood friend with Daniel, Ares was a good friend, but he was uncomfortable with something from before.
I don’t think I felt this way when I was very young, but I felt uncomfortable from some point on, but I didn’t show it.
Fortunately, Ares doesn’t seem to feel it either.
“……Sheesh.”
“Kuhm.”
Arni Duratan, a red-haired girl following her, clicked her tongue, and Adrina, a wizard, coughed and noticed.
He meant why he only took care of Rin, but then suddenly he wondered why Sen or Hayoon, who liked the same person, didn’t respond at all.
It was awkward for Sen, who is usually full of emotions, to keep his mouth shut and remain expressionless, so I didn’t bother talking to him and asked Hayoon.
“Are you okay?”
“Something looks comfortable.”
At Arni and Adrina’s words, Hayoon replied with a small smile.
“I’ve stopped doing that.”
“Hmm.”
“is that so?”
There was nothing too bad for the two of them.
If Ha-yoon, a strong rival in love, voluntarily fell for her, there was no need to stop him.
Still, there was a bond they had together, so they wouldn’t suddenly draw a line, but there would be fewer going around together with Ares at the center.
“By the way, didn’t Elise come?”
Hayoon glanced back and asked.
Elise, who always exudes a unique antique atmosphere with blonde hair, was nowhere to be seen.
Then Adrina smiled awkwardly, and Arni gritted his teeth.
“That guy, the noble himself, refused because he didn’t want to be involved in dirty work.”
“okay?”
“Well, I don’t think we would have won even if he was there.”
All I could say was that today’s defeat was shocking, not just for Arni, but for all the students here except Rin.
Even though they were evaluated as strong in the academy, they all attacked together, but were defeated by one gangster boss.
It was beyond shock, it was humiliation itself.
Especially for Arni Duratan, the eldest daughter of a famous swordsman.
“Do you have a schedule for this school festival?”
“Well? I don’t have one yet, but…”
Even so, he sighed as he watched Ares actively approach Rin from behind.
back to the dorm
Rin, who was about to enter her room on the fourth floor, grabbed the doorknob and suddenly remembered something.
“…Is there any evidence?”
Daniel said he likes someone other than himself.
However, there was no story about him at all.
Starting with the name, age, appearance, etc.
I didn’t tell him at all, but I wondered if there would be something about him when I went to Daniel’s room.
Knowing the ideal type of the person you like is one of the basics.
Rin used her footstep sound-cancelling magic to go to the men’s section, the 3rd floor, and stood in front of Daniel’s door.
“Shadow.”
A black shadow stretched out from Rin’s fingertips, slipped through the gap in the doorknob, and the door opened with a creaking sound.
“Wait a minute, I’m just coming to see you for a moment.”
There is still a lot of time left before Daniel arrives.
Thinking so, Rin, who entered Daniel’s room, began to feel something.
Even her body, which had been tired until just now, began to revitalize, and even a subtle smile appeared on her lips.
Daniel lived a frugal life, so he didn’t have much luggage, so it was easy to check, but unfortunately, nothing special came out.
“I’m sorry.”
When she thinks that she has failed, Rin suddenly returns to her rationality and realizes that what she has done is enormous.
Hurrying, I tried to get out, but at the moment I tripped and fell on Daniel’s bed.
‘Ah, the smell of Daniel.’
From then on, something really strange happened.
Lying on Daniel’s bed, you can smell his scent and close your eyes to feel like you’re in bed with him.
‘When I cover myself with the blanket, it feels like they’re hugging me!’
Shouting “Eureka” and wrapped herself in a blanket, Rin unknowingly enjoyed the whole situation.
Have you ever heard that happy times always go by so fast?
It was a fleeting moment for Rin, but the door opened and Daniel came in.
Fortunately, he didn’t even properly check if he was tired and went straight into the shower.
‘Even, I have to run away.’
I tried to run outside, but I didn’t want to move.
While the rational group, who said she had to run away quickly, and the emotional group, who said that it would still be okay because there was a little more time until the shower, fought inside her.
Daniel, who wanted to sleep quickly, finished the shower and came out.
‘ruined.’
In the end, the Emotional faction wins, fighting and wasting time.
But in the end, it was a defeat for Rin.
‘What do we do.’
Let’s sneak up on the blanket and check outside, wondering if Daniel is going somewhere.
“……!”
Isn’t he looking for clothes in his room and changing in the same state he was born in!
‘ah……’
Feeling blood rushing to his nose, Rin gave up.
I just muttered to stop thinking and leave everything to God, and cast a ‘sleep’ magic on myself.
‘I really enjoyed the meal.’
