73. while he’s gone (2)
“Phew, the luggage has actually increased and arrived.”
“Iknow, right.”
Upon arriving at the dormitory, Tana and Eve sighed as they looked at their luggage. I had a lot of luggage, so I had a lot of trouble because the wheel was broken in the middle of the way.
“I want to go in and wash up.”
“It’s embarrassing, but there are still hardships left.”
“Huh.”
The women’s floor is on the 4th floor.
For the two of them, the stairs going up to the 4th floor felt like climbing a steep mountain.
“Shall we take a little rest?”
“Is that so?”
As Eve and Tana sat down and talked about each other, a naked female student, Arni Durattan, passed in front of them.
She was dressed in comfortable clothes, as if she had already unpacked all her luggage, but she glanced at the two people blocking the stairs.
“Oh, sorry.”
“Sorry.”
Arni asked with a strange expression as he watched the two people rushing to put their luggage aside.
“Why are you doing this here?”
“Because the load is heavy.”
Since they were from the same fishing ground, Tana, who was close to them, replied with a sneer. Arni took a peek and lifted the two of them’s luggage with both hands.
“Let’s go, I’ll listen.”
“Oh oh?”
“thank you!”
Tana panics and Eve quickly bows her head saying that she has met the savior.
Seeing the reaction of the two of them, Arni grinned and strode up the stairs.
“Wow, that’s really cool.”
“I eat two of those by myself.”
“I thought only Daniel could do it.”
Seeing the two chattering next to each other, Arni smiled strangely. It seemed cute to follow him like a chick.
At that time, as I was passing the 3rd floor, the male floor, I heard a commotion from the inside.
The three of them wanted to know what was going on, but they couldn’t go in because they were men, so they just held out their heads and checked.
It was the female students who were making a fuss there.
“What the hell are these crazy bitches talking about! Does he already have someone he likes? Are you planning to date?”
May Plov, with auburn wavy hair that looked a little longer, was screaming in frustration as if something was stuck in her throat.
“I realized. Daniel’s heart may be swayed for a moment, and he may end up liking someone else. But it is destined to come back to me.”
With Rin, who is holding her chest with both hands and making some pseudo-like remarks.
“What does it matter who the owner was dating? Does Mei throw away all her stuff when she gets a boyfriend?”
Elise wondered if it was right that he was having a conversation on the same topic.
“Wow, what’s the situation?”
“Hey, is this a fight from the start?”
“Elise?”
Tana and Eve wondered why they were doing this, but Arni was looking at it a little differently.
Elise, who usually behaves with dignity, but doesn’t really want to step forward, comes out like that proudly from the male floor?
During this vacation, I was able to notice that something had changed in my mind.
“Isn’t that Daniel’s room?”
Tana was startled by Eve’s murmuring and leaned forward to confirm. That’s right, it was Daniel’s room.
“……”
Tana glanced over at Eve, but Eve muttered calmly as usual.
“Did Daniel come? I want to say hello.”
“Hey, don’t you feel anything?”
“Yes? How do you feel?”
“No, there are girls in Daniel’s room. After listening to the story, it seems like something is fighting over Daniel, isn’t it just that your heart is boiling or something?”
“Are you talking about that again? It doesn’t matter.”
“……”
How did this happen?
Tana named Eve’s disease ‘Romantic Reader Syndrome’.
Her condition, who sees the relationship of the person she likes like a reader reading a romance novel, seemed serious to Tana, and she tried to treat her during this vacation.
‘Failed.’
Although he gave various advice, recalled the time when he liked Ares, and described his feelings at the time in detail.
The effect seems to have been insignificant.
“Is it a love story?”
Surprisingly, the one who showed interest was Arni, who was carrying the luggage. Moving up to the 4th floor, she asked cautiously.
“Well, Daniel seems to be a bit popular, but are you guys like that too?”
“Uh, um.”
“I was different from Daniel.”
Seeing Eve talking as if it was no big deal, Arni, who asked in reverse, was taken aback, but Tana sighed and nodded.
“I’m just a friend, and Eve likes Daniel… but.”
“Keuheum, you seem to have a much more open view of love than I thought.”
Arni is taken aback by such a confident appearance. Anyway, the two of them thanked her for moving their luggage to their room and said they would buy something at the cafe.
“……”
Arni pondered for a moment, then asked, blushing slightly like her red hair color.
“If it’s okay, can I help you too?”
“Well? Do you need anything?”
“As long as you don’t need stamina, of course!”
Even though the two of them nodded willingly without listening, Arni still hesitated and ran his hands through the tips of his hair.
He paused for a while, but eventually caught his breath and shouted with the momentum of throwing out his fist.
“Hey, dating advice please!”
*
While the students of AOS Academy are heading back to the academy, regretting the end of the vacation.
There was a man who was moving in the complete opposite direction to the academy.
Daniel MacLean.
It was me.
It feels like fresh air is pressing down on my whole body, and the more I breathe, the more I feel that something stifling is accumulating in my chest.
It was a forest of demons that I hadn’t been in in a while, so it took a bit of getting used to at first, but it was literally only for a short time, and I was able to walk around like my own home.
‘There’s no need to be at the beginning.’
He entered the forest of the Demon Realm to obtain herbs for Michelle’s disease.
It was a rare herb from the outside, but it was a herb that could be easily obtained even in the middle of the Pandemonium Forest, so the basket was filled with herbs in an instant.
‘If you think of Michelle in the future, your illness will probably be cured.’
Michelle, whom I met in my previous life, was weak, but seeing as she hadn’t taken any medications, it would probably be better if she developed a cure or took medication regularly.
‘I’ll have to collect enough to spend three years.’
As they started shoving them into not only the basket, but also the bag on their back and waist, they heard a chirping noise from around them.
“Umm, but I recognize the person who killed their owner, right?”
Huge insects with patterns engraved on their backs rushing towards me.
As if they recognized me for killing their king, Abbiel, they began to cry and run at me.
“Bitter, it bothers me.”
There was no need to deal with everything here.
Without even pulling out my sword, I started running to the other side. There were some nice places around here.
quack.
Quad Duck.
“Aren’t you curious? These are the Red Skull Roses. They have a habit of penetrating anything that enters their territory.”
Countless thorns pour out from a huge rose like a tree, and they come out and are stinged by insects.
Of course, I was simply avoiding it because I was used to it, but the bugs chasing from behind were not.
After passing the Sculrose’s area, the next area was the acid giant’s area.
He was said to be a giant, but his legs were cut off and he was drooling because he was unconscious, and the saliva made the surrounding muddy and it was a place where the sole of the shoe as well as the sole of the foot melted just by stepping on it.
If you step on the ground while looking at the less saliva here, you can pass without a problem, but the bugs did not.
Due to the nature of the boat being attached to the bottom, most of the insects eventually melted and only a few remained.
I was about to pull out my sword, but it was annoying, so I kept running and eventually arrived at the Silver Lake, which is one of the brightest places in the forest of the Demon Realm.
The lake with a silver color was showing the beauty of the word spectacular, but in reality it is not so great.
As we got closer, the lake started flooding, and it came pouring out and towards the bugs.
“Eutcha!”
The range is wide, but the speed itself is slow, so I avoided it, but the bugs in the back became completely prey to the lake and disappeared.
I was comfortable calling it Silver Lake, but in fact, it wasn’t a lake.
‘It’s a huge silver slime.’
It’s just an incredibly gigantic beast whose entire body is made of acid.
Well, it was still in the early and middle of the forest, so it was fortunate that only simple magical beasts came out.
If I got to the middle and bugs came out, I could have touched even the annoying ones for nothing.
As he was about to go back to the place where he had been gathering herbs, a man carefully appeared from among the trees.
I thought it was a bug again, but to my surprise, it was a human, and even more surprisingly, it was a face I knew.
“Daniel?”
“Adrina?”
Adrina, the witch of the Black Forest who finally survived Abbiel by fulfilling the prophecy of fate.
She dropped out of the academy because she had achieved her goal of surviving and returned to the forest.
