Aegis (9)
235
Seria looked around and pushed her forward as if proud of Rei.
Those gathered in the hall did not fully understand Seria’s sudden action and were idly frozen.
Far from receiving the expected reaction, the atmosphere calmed down, and Seria pondered for a moment before saying a word.
“clap.”
“…”
Everyone looked at each other and started clapping without knowing English.
Clap clap clap clap-! Loud applause filled the central hall.
Rey, who was droopy after being captured by Seria, made her want to die even more. At least I wanted to pass out.
The applause continued for a long time.
Seria looked at Nelson with a satisfied face as she heard the applause.
Seria flashed Rey, who was a little taller than her, and slammed it towards Nelson.
“My nephew.”
“…Yes?”
When Nelson asked like an idiot, Seria said it over and over again.
“My, nephew.”
“…okay.”
“My nephew is cute.”
“…”
Seria emphasized once again towards the silent Nelson.
“My nephew is cute.”
“Yeah… well… you have a cute nephew… congratulations… he’s so cute…”
When Nelson reluctantly responded to Seria, she shook Rey up and down with excitement.
Eventually, Rey couldn’t stand the shame and covered her face with both hands.
The applause continued to this day.
*
At the Central Hall, Seria wasn’t bragging about Rei without thinking.
Seria had heard that Rey had entered the school while hiding her exact identity, so she originally planned to refrain from bragging about her nephew.
However, after experiencing Aegis briefly, Rey contacted Ernst to reveal some of her identity.
Ernst accepted Rey’s request even though it was very absurd, and the information about this reached Seria’s ears.
If Rey identified herself as Ernst’s prospective fiancée of Spera, Seria did not have to restrain herself from boasting about her nephew. At least that’s what Seria thought.
Therefore, it was entirely Rey’s fault that such a disaster occurred.
If Rey hadn’t been whining at Ernst for being too hard on physical training, he wouldn’t have been caught and applauded by Seria in front of others.
Rey grumbled, resenting her past self.
Surprisingly, Rey was helplessly waiting for this time to pass quickly, but when the applause stopped, Seria turned her back towards her.
An indescribable anxiety attacked Rey.
take it back? What are you going to do with it?
From Rey’s experience so far, Seria has done at most one or two to catch Rey.
Rey, who had just been drooping, looked at Seria with her eyes shaking violently.
“Oh, aunt…?”
Rey shook her head from side to side as she patted Seria’s arm that was holding her armpit.
However, Seria did not care and took Rei into her arms.
A plea that was close to a scream erupted from Rey’s mouth.
“Aunt, wait, wait…! Aunt…!! Gomo!!!”
Rey resisted, swinging her limbs back and forth, but was quickly overpowered.
After defeating Rey, Seria began to show off her affection for her nephew in earnest while everyone was watching.
As the kisses filled with affection for his nephew poured out side by side, Ray struggled while playing the game.
“…!!”
Everyone looked at the scene in astonishment, and Rey, who was rebelling, finally gave up his face, half fainting.
Seria, who poured enough kisses to the side, as much as she had not seen it before, came down from the podium with satisfaction alone.
In the midst of everyone’s attention.
Seria approached between the cadets, put Rei in her place, and climbed back up on the podium, showing a proud look.
“…”
Everyone in the central hall glanced at Rei.
Rey, whose heart was ragged, stood there blankly like a madman.
Those who don’t know the details of the situation first noticed that Rei was Seria’s cherished nephew, but she wasn’t really envious.
Meanwhile, Seria even introduced herself on the podium.
When the self-introduction was over, the cadets clapped again.
After the self-introduction, Seria retreated to the back of the podium and waved at Rey.
Desperate, Ray waved his hands together with empty eyes.

Nelson continued to do his job, even though he felt strongly confused by the chain of events.There are still people left to introduce.
“Next… I would like to introduce the advisors who have taken on the advisory positions from this semester.”
Aegis’s advisory and instructor positions were divided according to where the enemy was located.
In the case of instructors, their affiliations were temporarily transferred to Aegis, but in the case of advisors, they worked within Aegis as outsiders.
Those who are still playing active duty or high-ranking officials of the denomination usually held advisory positions.
As the chattering among the cadets subsided, Nelson introduced the advisors one by one.
As time passed, Nelson introduced the last advisor.
“…High Templar of the denomination, Anthony-nim, please come to the front of the podium.”
High Templar.
Among the Templars recognized by the denomination, only those who were particularly excellent were called High Templars.
Paladins, or priests called Templars, had significant individual differences in the way and number of ways to use divine power, so it was difficult to specify exactly what the standards of the High Templars were.
However, the Templars who had sharpened themselves sufficiently were able to squeeze their divine power into a grid structure and overwhelm their weapons, but those who were able to do this were usually classified as High Templars.
The weapon, covered with divine power woven in a grid structure, lost a lot of cutting power, but its rigidity was enough to block the sword.
Because of this, the weapons the High Templars carried were actually very strong and hard blunts, even if they were swords.
“…?”
It was natural for an excellent Templar to come to Aegis as an advisor.
However, Ray felt a strange… something strangely confused.
An unknown feeling of dizziness or anxiety made Rey’s heart beat a little faster.
Rey stood on the podium and looked at the High Templar, Anthony.
The other cadets looked at Anthony in the same way, and muttered a little in amazement.
Even the cadets of Aegis were slightly shaken by Anthony, who had an outstanding reputation among the High Templars.
At this point, ‘the one closest to the Paladin’s seat’.
As someone spoke those words, Ray recalled her memories that had been buried behind.
‘Yeah… you are…’
Rey looked at Anthony, who had a cold-blooded impression, and calmed his eyes.
‘The one I… did not save.’
*
The introduction ceremony of the newly appointed instructors and advisors was over.
The cadets had some free time, so Ray found an outdoor bench and sat quietly looking at the sky.
“…”
side by side.
At the sound of kisses that sounded like tinnitus in her ears, Ray twisted her body to and fro.
After tossing and turning for a while, Rey let out a deep sigh, telling her to forget about Seria.
‘Anthony…’
Rey has changed many parts of the world’s original history.
The few future information that Rey remembered also seemed to have lost most of its value.
Anthony, he died in vain without leaving a proper track in the future that Rey knew. His death had no effect or value.
At this point, Rey didn’t know what the end of Anthony would be.
But one thing was certain.
He will not be saved. never.
“…”
As Rey was sitting on the chair holding the weight, the second-class cadets passed by and found Rey, and they spoke to each other.
“Why is he still alive?”
“If it were me, I would go up the roof right away and fall from my head.”
“Do you carry your face with you despite that shame? It’s poisonous, poisonous.”
“…”
Ray felt very, very depressed.
If we had only been informed in advance that Seria was coming, we would have somehow met and petted the two of them first.
Rey was twisting her body while Aaron approached.
“Uh… Ray.”
Aaron had a very curious expression on his face.
Rey explained to Aaron what he was going to reveal a little later, because the pages were sold out in front of everyone anyway.
Aaron, who heard all of Rey’s explanation, made an astringent face.
As Rey explained, Rey had a connection with the Duke of Alstein as a prospect that Ernst intended to be the fiancée of her great-granddaughter Spera, and as Seria’s paternal nephew.
Although he was a commoner, looking at the background, there were no other golden spoons like this.
“I asked where the confidence that ran like a crazy pony in Aegis came from…”
“What mama?”
“Huh? Uh, no, I didn’t say anything.”
Aaron, who unintentionally let out the thoughts in his head, quickly waved his hands.
Aaron quickly turned around before Rey started arguing.
“Then where are you from? Like Sir Seria Alstein…”
“Hometown? Does my hometown know? Why are you curious about that?”
Ray responded quite aggressively.
Rumors spread that Rey loved her hometown, and it didn’t do any good.
Rei was going to play a village boy who was ashamed of his hometown, even in Aegis, and wanted to erase it from his memory.
Aaron understood Rey’s words as Rey wanted and nodded.
“Um… But Sir Seria Alstein really cares about you, poop…! He cares… big…!”
Aaron couldn’t hold back his laughter and kept shaking his shoulders.
When Rey gave a lively eye, he licked Aaron’s throat and straightened his expression.
“Wow…! Ummm… Do you want to go back now?”
“Do you still have some time to rest?”
“If you’re late, you’ll be in trouble. You have to be especially careful today.”
“why?”
“You’re allowed to go out tomorrow. If you do something wrong today and get control over it, you’ll have to wait another week.”
“Ah… that’s right.”
In Aegis, cadets are allowed to go out once a week.
They often left the Aegis premises to access the training facilities, but they were tightly controlled throughout the journey.
Therefore, they were able to move relatively freely and view the ecliptic only once a week.
Aaron added with a bit of excitement.
“Since the maintenance fee is also paid, you will be able to go out and purchase the necessary items even if you do not receive any other support. Although it is unlikely that you will be in need.”
“Yeah, I understand. If I’m late alone, it’s a solidarity responsibility, and I’m going to be resentful if I’m restricted from going out as a group.”
“Ha ha, yes.”
“Let’s go back together. But there’s no one to walk around holding hands with, so I think I’ll have to go out tomorrow.”
“…”
Wouldn’t it be okay to hold my aunt’s hand and walk around?
Aaron swallowed the words that had reached his throat.
Aaron was a man who had the ability to learn more than he looked .
