Episode 68 Valley where the sun never sets.(2)
* * *
Early in the morning, at dawn, they always leave for the same destination.
Glenlunark is now easily accessible without looking for a signpost.
Likewise, today, while I was about to head to that starry valley.
“Where do you go every morning like that?”
The rustling sound seemed to have awakened Priscilla.
“To Glenlunark.”
“Have you found another woman already?”
“What nonsense.”
I wish it had been a woman.
Seeing Notang Jomma who is over 100 years old, what kind of power is overflowing, tormenting me all day and not doing anything makes me cringe.
Even a subject without an arm or an eye.
“I thought you were leaving me and going to meet another woman.”
“I wish it was like that.”
“Is this all we have to do?”
“What is between us? You are friends.”
“get out!”
Priscilla’s pillow all-powerful helmet flew in.
With the sound of an explosion, the torn wads of cotton flew away.
I quickly left the dormitory so that my head wouldn’t explode next time.
Still, I think I’ll have to come back a little early today.
They’re the same kids who followed me because of me, but what’s wrong with neglecting them?

“You seem to have gotten used to drawing a magenta sword.”
“Thanks to Master.”
“You had the talent to draw the magenta sword from the beginning, so all I did was awaken your talent. I’m still very nervous, but that’s enough.”
It is true that the frequency of the appearance of the magenta swordsman is much higher than before, but as he said, he is still very uneasy.
Because it is almost impossible to draw a magenta sword arbitrarily.
“Is Ryujin no longer needing to be polished?”
“That is for you to judge for yourself. It is not for me to decide.”
“I don’t know what kind of skill there is in Spiritualism, so I don’t have a sense of it. If there were various skills similar to Ryujin, I would continue to hone Ryujin without much thought.”
“If you think like that, it would be better to constantly hone Ryujin. Spiritualism doesn’t have many skills that can still be used universally.”
Is it a feeling that there are a lot of techniques that feel like a kind of ultimate?
Then it’s a different story.
“It’s a pity that you can’t learn spiritual food quickly.”
“Your growth rate is fast enough right now, but you have a lot of greed.”
“Hey, when I go back to the academy, I don’t have time to learn from Master, right?”
“Even if I don’t have many days left to live, it’s not so serious that I can’t even wait three years. you do your thing It’s not like you can’t train anywhere else.”
To be honest, I can’t help but be impatient.
It is said that my growth is good now, but what will I do when I reach a point where growth is blocked later?
The world doesn’t wait for me.
“You look worried.”
“My temper is urgent.”
“Tell me one thing. Worry or not, what will happen will happen, and what will not happen will not happen.”
“What does that mean?”
“It means that your worries are useless.”
It’s a serious concern.
I’m a little saddened to say it’s useless.
“But, I don’t have much time left.”
“Then you will have no choice but to work harder. Accept your enthusiasm, and let’s increase the intensity of training in the future.”
“I have to go home early today. Your body should be fine.”
“When did I even kill you? Your body has never been unhealthy.”
I had the experience of crawling down a mountain every day, and I doubt whether it can be called normal.
“Today I really have work to go back to.”
“Is it urgent?”
“It’s urgent.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
My future is at stake, and of course it’s urgent.If you do it wrong, you’re spiritual and you might get stabbed and die before you even do anything.
“Yeah, I’ve been working hard so far, so it’s okay to take a day off.”
“thank you.”
Surprisingly, Nihilis kept her words well.
He sent me away before dinner time, and the intensity of the training was much lighter than usual.
It was the first time I was able to come down from a mountain on foot like this.

“Why are you here so early?”
“I think I neglected you too much, so I came a little early today.”
“Oh, I was a little impressed.”
“Well, is there any place you want to go to? It’s time to go and visit at least one place.”
“I am.”
“me too.”
They both seemed to have a place to think about.
It would be nice if the two opinions overlap, but that’s unlikely.
“Why are you asking me to go to a library that is not fun? There’s no point in coming here to play.”
“Is there any special meaning to going to the riverside?”
“I didn’t tell you to just go to the creek! Fairy Pool is a famous place in the Highland region! Besides, the Isle of Skye is famous for its fishing, so it’s a good place to have dinner there.”
“The National Library of Scotland is also a famous place.”
So, we fight again.
To be honest, just listening to the story, neither is a place I like.
At the most, it is ridiculous that the library is the place to take a woman, and it is a wonderful natural scenery.
At first, I thought about just staying at the dorm, but it didn’t seem like a good idea, so I stopped.
““Which one do you like better?”
It was also my side that sparked.
Isn’t it a bit awkward to say that sparks are fried?
This is the story I brought up.
If I had to choose, I think the library would be better.
First of all, Aina is my priority over Priscilla, and I am not the type to hate reading books.
“Then, shall we go to the library today?”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Aina greeted me with a bright smile.
On the contrary, Priscilla had a sullen expression on her face.
Of course, he thought his opinion would be accepted.
sorry. Priscilla.
A slave must listen to his master.
“Guide me. Priscilla. We decided to be friends without quarreling, right?”
“Yeah, it was. let’s go.”
When did you say that?
I don’t know.
I don’t know what agreement was between the two.
However, I was surprised that the covenant actually worked.
Although Priscilla sharpened her teeth, she did not openly hostile to Aina, and Aina didn’t do anything to contain Priscilla in particular.
Not fighting in front of me seems to mean something like that, but to me, this is rather scary.
Because I don’t know what kind of dark peacock is coming and going under the water.
A woman is a unique nature of living things, so there is nothing that can be done about it.

The National Library of Scotland was huge.
Even more surprising was that it was one of three separate buildings.
If I had to pick one thing that I regret, most of the main building where I am now, except for the general reading room, was a place to store collections of rare value such as old books and special books.
For collectors and those who are interested in history, it may be a utopia, but not for me.
When I have to explain this book to me this way or that way, I can only say, ‘Oh, there’s such a background.’
However, Aina seemed interested in such things.
When I found manuscripts of a certain author or the first edition of a book written by a famous 19th century writer, I was very happy.
It was me, ‘I’m from a long-established family, so I guess I like things like this’, but I left it alone.
“Hey, would you like to leave Aina here in the main building and go to another building?”
Priscilla, who read my eyes, spoke in her ear.
Of course he refused.
It’s not because I don’t like going to another building.
Rather, it is better for me.
It is a place where more video media are stored than books, so it would be a much better place for me who likes movies.
Priscilla must have known that and made this offer to me.
However, from the moment they agreed to respect Aina’s wishes, they shouldn’t do that.
“Then don’t.”
Surprisingly, Priscilla meekly accepted my words.
He didn’t seem to think his proposal would work either.
After that, he never made any such proposals.
They just quietly followed us.
Strictly speaking, it must be said that we are following Aina’s footsteps.
“How long will you be in the special reading room?”
“Is there still a lot of things you want to see?”
… Aina’s special reading room tour went on for a really long time.
Even I couldn’t stand the boredom and thought about opening my mouth several times, but in the end I couldn’t.
She said she was happy to receive all the old books she wanted to see in real life.
This was also true of Priscilla.
In the end, we had no choice but to chase after Aina until she made a full round of the special reading room.
* * *
At this time, after Aina’s long journey, we were spending our own time in the general reading room, choosing the books we wanted to read.
I felt that I was losing concentration, so I decided to go for a walk to get some wind.
“I’ll go out for a while.”
“yes. go go.”
To be honest, it came out because of a lack of sugar.
I don’t know if I only use my body, but when I try to use my head, which I wasn’t using, my body keeps sending signals that it needs sugar.
So, I had no choice but to get out.
Because the library was strictly forbidden to eat.
Take a small piece of chocolate and put it in your mouth.
It had a slightly bitter taste, and the taste was well-balanced.
“Can I get one too?”
“When did you come out?”
“According to you.”
when did you come along
I didn’t feel popular at all.
Aina often behaves like this, and every time she gets hit, she is startled.
At this point, maybe she’s enjoying my reaction too.
“Come on, here.”
“No, not that.”
“I’m not talking about this.”
“You are here.”
Aina’s tongue crept between her lips and took the chocolate that was rolling in my mouth.
I didn’t say anything to her surprise attack.
“What all of a sudden? Just thank you. I know this is boring too. That’s why Priscilla turned a blind eye to such an offer to you. Even if you accepted the offer, I wouldn’t really care. But, you didn’t leave me. In return for him.”
While I was contemplating which answer would be appropriate.
A soft touch touched my lips again.
“You didn’t like the answer? Then take it back.”
Chocolate returned to its original position.
I couldn’t open my mouth until it all melted away.
“Thank you for hanging out with me, who is not funny. I’ll have to tell Priscilla too. Anyway, let’s go back now.”
The chocolate flavor remained in my mouth until the moment I returned.
Oddly enough, there was no sweet or bitter taste left.
If so, what is the remaining flavor?
