63. Suspension
“Ian, Ian- Ian… … .”
Dinoir, held in my arms, shed tears and rubbed her head. The tears she shed began to wet the patient’s clothes and moisten her skin.
But she couldn’t be separated from her because of her huge attraction.
When I pulled her apart, who had been sobbing for a while, her top was all wet with tears and runny nose.
“senior.”
“… yes.”
“I won’t ask you why.”
What had already happened, why she stabbed me, and how she felt. Those things don’t really matter.
The important thing is to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
“So… Cooperate well with the investigation.”
“Okay… … .”
Dinoir nodded lightly and said so. I must have gotten her confirmation, and I must have known that her mental state was not too bad.
I opened the door to the interrogation room and went out. The interrogator, who was taking a break outside, looked at the suddenly opened door and tilted his head, and was startled when he saw my face.
“What, what!?”
“hello.”
The inquisitor immediately drew the sword from his waist, but stopped when he saw the pattern engraved on the back of my hand.
“… … Summoner? Are you an academy cadet? How is the cadet here? … .”
“Want to know?”
Looking at me as I said that with a smirk, the interrogator quietly shook his head.
Not knowing anything else, he was quick enough to understand the situation. You can tell by the fact that he had the ability to sneak in here, but he didn’t sneak out.
I opened my mouth and pointed inward.
“Start the interrogation. Now it will come out cooperatively.”
“What did you do… … By any chance, are you Ian?”
“I will not comment.”
Indeed, the quick-witted interrogator was quick-witted in this direction as well. It doesn’t spread even when you see my face, but if you look at your doubts, you don’t know me, but you probably heard something from Denoir-senpai… … .
Considering her personality, she probably said she wouldn’t cooperate until she saw my face.
“I will go first.”
“That, yes… .”
“Oh, you shouldn’t be tortured. I’m in big trouble.”
“… … Take my attention.”
Leaving behind the inquisitor who had shrugged slightly, I left the building.
I thought that the place for interrogation was usually somewhere in the basement where there was no light.
Whoa hey-!
“Wow… … .”
Surprisingly, the interrogation room here was on a high spire.
As I looked down at the floor of a street that could not even be reached without a flying pet, I ran into a big problem.
“How did you get this down? … .”
* * *
I somehow managed to get down from the spire and headed straight to the dormitory.
There were no injuries anyway, and he thought that going to the infirmary would only make him more scolded.
‘I just took a vacation.’
It was more like a sick leave than a vacation, but… … Anyway, rest was rest. Well, there was nothing I could do about taking a vacation from the academy.
‘It’s important to rest.’
To be honest – for me, enjoying the last pleasures of my life before I die, school life, which takes away most of my day, was a very dense life.
To the extent that it is too heavy for me, who was just playing and dying the day after tomorrow.
As I arrived at the dormitory, grumbling slightly, I realized that the door to my room was open.
‘… … Did I leave the door closed?’
It didn’t seem like that. When I opened the door, I saw women’s shoes that had been taken off in the hallway.
There is no custom of taking off shoes in this world. No one would take off their shoes while sneaking into someone else’s room.
So, this was a trace of someone who knew him very well.
I didn’t even have to think about who it was.
“… … stellar.”
“late.”
Stella Eritz was sitting on my bed and looking at me.
If you see them in school uniforms, it looks like they came right after class or came in the middle of class… … .
“How are you here?”
“Did the manager open the door?”
“… … Isn’t it your room?”
“I told you I was your lover.”
I spit out swear words to myself. The women’s dormitory is a subject that cannot be accessed unless you go with yourself or a woman. It’s a men’s dormitory, so security is so poor?
‘What do you mean by being a man?’
With so much dissatisfaction, he looked at her. From the moment I came, she hugged her knees and buried her head.
Just by looking at it, it didn’t look like he had come for something. If that had been the case, she would have brought it up right away because of her personality.
So… … .
“Why did you come?”
“Why did you come… That’s too much.”
Heh, looking at her lightly exhaling her nostrils, I could tell that she didn’t even know her own heart.
I must have come to you with a heartbreak for some reason after hearing the news that I had been stabbed with a knife. After coming to see my face, I don’t know what to say, so it must be ticking like that.
Naturally, I sat down next to her. The seat next to her is originally my bed.
As I sat down next to him, Stella opened the door a little. He must have been too shy to stick close to him while he couldn’t even understand his own heart.
“Why did you come?”
But shame is a sign of freshness. As I have already experienced everything, I couldn’t be as shy as her.
I just love her who is shy about this, and I just approach her first.
“… … just.”
“just? Aren’t you worried about me?”
“Well, what do you mean… Why am I worried about you?”
Looking at her blushing attitude as she said that, anyone who looked at it could only see that she was worried about me.
When she hardened her expression as if she was a little regretful, she realized what she had done belatedly.
“I’m sorry… If you had come because you were worried about me, I would have fallen for you.”
“What did you say… … .”
“Then, can I ask you again?”
He grabs her hand on her lap and slowly turns her gaze towards her.
Stella didn’t let go of my hand even though it was grabbed. She was always tickling with her mouth, but her body had long since been captured.
“What did you come here for?”
“… I.”
When her pink lips like cherry blossoms fluttered, and the word ‘a’ carefully leaked out of her mouth.
Suddenly awakened, she shakes my hands in amazement and gets up and brings her lunch from the kitchen.
“Hey, this! You can’t break a promise because you’re in the hospital, right? That’s why I just came-!”
I was handed a lunch box from her who was not honest once and checked the inside, and naturally exclaimed.
It was usually flashy, but it was because the menu gave me more strength today.
“Thank you, I’ll eat well.”
“huh.”
She folded her arms and turned her head. It was always Stella Eritz. Because I knew that she was such a person. I silently began to forget the lunch box she had brought.
Watching me quietly forget my lunch box, she cautiously opened her mouth.
“… … Are you not hurt?”
“I passed out because of the pain.”
“I know. He passed out so horribly.”
As I listened to her, I realized that the reason I fainted was because she had been stabbed with a knife instead.
When I think of that, the gratitude I had for her begins to disappear as if washed away with water.
‘No, I saved this bitch… … .’
“thank you.”
“A word of thanks… … .”
As if aiming, Stella interrupted me and thanked me. If I kept my mouth shut at the perfect timing, Stella burst out laughing as if it was fun looking at me like that.
While watching her face leaking out from the bash, she made eye contact with me and immediately apologized.
“sorry.”
“… … what?”
“at that time… When you were with a certain woman, you misunderstood and ran away. I apologize.”
“uh… Did something like that happen?”
“… … Did you forget?”
Carefully rolling my head, it was about ten days ago. When you just summoned Empress.
He seemed to have been caught walking with her.
Then they travel to another territory with Shira, or get a magic spell from Dinoir. I just forgot because there were so many big events.
“it’s okay. It’s not really that important.”
“Yeah, what. if you are.”
Was it because he realized that what he had been struggling with until now was no big deal to the person responsible for it?
Stella let out a smirk and put on a look of disappointment. I looked at her like that and held out the lunch box in my hand.
“Want some?”
“… … yes.”
As of today, she was not afraid of binge eating.

Murmur-.
In the morning, the school was noisy. The eyes of the children who were so noisy often flew and pierced me.
Seeing that their eyes were locked in their eyes, it didn’t seem like it was an incident that had nothing to do with me… … To be honest, it should have been a day or two for the kids to make such a fuss.
‘What else is going on… .’
What this time, did Stella claim to be my lover and sneak into my room?
But it wasn’t my fault, and it didn’t hurt me either. I quietly shut my mouth and headed to the classroom.
The eyes of the children who arrived first in the classroom also caught my eye.
“Ian-!”
Shiira, who had been to school first today, rushed up to me and hung it on my shoulder. It was close to an attack that would have fallen over without frequent shoulder exercises.
“… … what?”
Turning her slightly twisted shoulders and looking at Shiira, she asked me without stopping to smile.
“Did you see this?”
“What is this… … .”
She showed me a notice that seemed to have come from a bulletin board.
[Dinua Erebos]
—Seven days of suspension.
“What is this?”
It was reasonable. She has a history of cooperating with the demons to almost kill the 4-star Summoner Me and Stella.
That’s because, if the victims, Stella and I, had not submitted a non-punishment petition stating that they did not want to be punished, they would have deserved expulsion rather than a simple suspension.
“Hey, it’s De Noir-senpai’s job. Aren’t you surprised?”
“Why are you playing… … .”
And then – I realized that this was kept secret. It’s a secret that Dinua Erebos almost signed a contract with the demons.
And the fact that I almost killed Stella by signing a contract with the demons is also a secret.
“… … Uh, how did this happen?”
“Ian. What do you know?”
“No, you don’t know?”
When it was too late to remove the shichimi, Shira had a full smile on her face as if it was already too late.
I avoided her gaze and became as ignorant as possible.
