Chapter 71 – Episode 71. Dark Purple (2)
“We, the Einhafen Empire, were able to eventually unify the empire based on the role of the tightly secured supply line… Are you listening, Astrid?”
It was the corner of an empty classroom. The sunlight was really clear and pure, and now it was the season to welcome summer. The wind blowing through the wide open window was quite cool.
“… Nggg.”
Astrid was dozing with her chin resting on his chin.
With the disk supporting it, even her sleeping figure became a picture, and Leopold stared at Astrid.
After coming to this academy, my impression of Astrid changed a lot. He knew that they didn’t just hate each other, and even now, Astrid’s new side that came to mind clearly was enough to overturn Astrid’s previous impressions to Leopold.
‘… I have to take good care of my country.’
That’s what Leopold thought.
Astrid’s sudden decision to come to the academy might have come because she really liked Leopold, contrary to what Leopold initially thought. The reason he said he wouldn’t come until then… I don’t know yet, but there must be a reason for that too.
Leopold also knew that Astrid had been left out of the academy due to her lack of knowledge.
If so, she should stand closest to her, at least if she is her fiancé.
So that her tension could be relieved by Leopold’s side.
That’s how Leopold organized his position.
She reached out and cupped Astrid’s chin with her hand.
Astrid, who almost slammed her forehead on her desk without her doubt, woke her up in a fright and looked around her, then looked at Leopold and put on a puzzled face.
“Yeah, that’s right. Rice is important… Isn’t it?”
“I think that’s even more amazing how you can fall asleep while facing each other like this.”
“It’s nothing.”
“Isn’t that a compliment?”
Leopold sighed and closed the book. From Leopold’s point of view, Astrid really had no connection with studies. This may be why she is being evaluated as an ignorant woman who is strong behind Astrid.
Of course, it is said that Leopold took special measures immediately after hearing the story, but there is a limit to that alone, so Astrid has no choice but to become an honor student in order to clear the stigma. Or at least she put her hobbies on study.
However, as they are now, both are distant. I thought it would be close to impossible. It was absurd that most of the aristocratic children learned everything before coming to the academy, and only knew the fields they wanted to know, rather than knowing them well.
“… Shall we do this today?”
“Great. Studying too much is not good.”
Looking at Astrid, who had been waiting for those words, Leopold felt like he wanted to sigh.
【Aren’t you too smart?】
‘I feel like I’m losing the courage to live after hearing such things from you… ‘
Even so, it wasn’t so bad. I also studied well. She wasn’t an honor student, but she wasn’t a failing student like she is now. I did, but now…
“Shall I go and relax a bit? Astrid, what should I do?”
“Relaxing yourself, what do you mean… ?”
“Hmm.”
Leopold thought of something and smiled softly. Not knowing the meaning of that laugh, he was about to ask why he was laughing, but Leopold opened his mouth.
“What would happen if a man and a woman relaxed, huh?”
For some reason, Astrid’s face turned red. She blushed rather than blushed.
Leopold stared at Astrid’s face and smiled. I know what the hell you were thinking, but I held back when I was about to tell you that it wasn’t really like that.
Leopold stood up and held out his hand.
“Okay, then let’s go. I’ll just warm up my body, so I’d be grateful if you could watch it from the side.”
“To? Yes? What, what?”
Astrid looked at Leopold’s face and hands alternately. His face was flushed red, and he was embarrassed without knowing why.
“Come on, let’s go.”
Leopold did not wait any longer. He grabbed Astrid’s hand, who was showing embarrassment, and Leopold headed out of the classroom.
The academy, which carries the banner of training knights who will carry the future of the empire, also serves as a military academy, so it has well-equipped training facilities including physical training.
The place where Leopold and Astrid are now was one of those training facilities, and it was a relatively small training room that could be used by individuals or three or less people.
It was one of the huge buildings with dozens of rooms slightly larger than the lodging rooms. Leopold took Astrid’s hand and entered the training ground entrance.
“What, what are you trying to show me?! Please let go of this hand!”
Astrid still didn’t think of removing his hand. Leopold wasn’t even holding Astrid’s hand that tightly. If she wanted to, she could easily shake off Leopold’s hand, but Astrid didn’t let go of his hand.
【If you don’t like it that much, you can just walk away, right? It’s not that I lack strength.]
‘Yeah, that’s true!’
It’s a problem because it doesn’t work! Astrid was genuinely perplexed, but was led by Leopold’s hand to the entrance of the training ground.
There were dozens of training grounds, and the key to each room was hanging at the entrance. If this key is still hanging, it is also a sign that there is no one in the training ground, so Leopold picked up one of the keys in an appropriate place.
“Room 203. Shall we go?”
“What are you trying to do… ?!”
“Hmm… “
Leopold was about to climb the stairs, but let go of Astrid’s hand and turned around. And he stood close to Astrid, looking down into her face.
“Astrid, her face is red.”
“More, because it’s hot… “
Their eyes met hers, and Astrid, somehow terribly embarrassed, averted her gaze. It was also burdensome to see Leopold’s blue eyes peering into him.
“Do you know what we are doing here?”
I do not know.
She’s one of those places where she really has no contact with Astrid, who doesn’t need any training or anything, so she’s never been there and she’s never been particularly interested.
“I don’t know… “
It’s hot anyway. Astrid lowered her eyes without answering Leopold’s question. It’s finally here. Seeing her take out the key, maybe this place is like a simple lodging.
Is that really what Leopold is aiming for? Astrid was taken aback by the sudden situation. Too fast. It’s not the time yet.
“… I know what you’re thinking, Astrid. If you were a cadet at the military academy, it would be good to know the purpose of the building. This is a training ground. It’s a collection of small training grounds. It might be because it’s my first time here, but it’s good to know that much.”
Only then did she know what to use. She thought Astrid didn’t know what the hell she meant until a little while she had been herself, and that shame returned like a boomerang to her.
“Your face has completely turned red. Go anyway Today, Astrid, I want you to help me.”
Leopold grinned.
That smile also looked cool in its own right, so Astrid was a little embarrassed.
‘Why are you so unnecessarily cool and crazy? Annoyingly.’
【Sometimes you are a bit shy… 】
“Come on, let’s go.”
“Joe, good. Song.”
Since it’s a training ground, there’s nothing to shy away from. Astrid started climbing the stairs after Leopold. But they didn’t know. Veracien’s gaze at the backs of them climbing the stairs in the training ground.

‘It’s really boring.’
Veracien, who had been rejected by Astain again, was walking around the campus grumbling. I did a lot of strange things because I wanted to find out how far the instructors reacted, or whether they just tolerated it.
I’ve experienced major accidents like the appearance of Helvey, and I’ve lowered the level little by little to do things like stealing school supplies warehouses and destroying seals.
However, the response of the instructors was not so prompt. Information power, action ability, reporting system, establishment of chain of command, etc. Were not up to par in Veracien’s view.
– So, you can start slowly.
– No, not yet.
Astain laughed softly with her eyes half open and shook her head. She is Astain who keeps saying that it is not the time yet.
– It’s still time to lay some more ground rice. Just wait a little longer.
It is the base food that has already been laid from the past. That’s how Berathien saw it. However, Astain was still repeating the word to wait.
‘It’s not really funny… ‘
Just fun, fun, fun.
This one element of fun was the driving force that made Veracien move.
Vera Shien, a princess of the underworld called Beraya, wanted to get out of the underworld where she was bored and couldn’t find anything interesting to do.
Meanwhile, she sensed that she was summoning somewhere, and Vera Shien, who responded to her spell called this summoning, which she hadn’t had in a long time, responded to the summoning with one reason that she thought it would be fun, and she returned to her human world. Showed up in
The summoner was Astein, and upon hearing his purpose, Vera Shien agreed to a contract with him for the reason that she thought it would be fun.
‘But I didn’t know I’d just have to wait like this all the time.’
Is there anything else fun to do? As Vera Shien walked through her campus, she was unobtrusively looking around her.
“Hey, wait! Leopold… “
“It’s not because I’m going to a strange place. Do not follow me.”
Leopold and Astrid, led by his hand, were going somewhere. Seeing the two of them, Veracien’s eyes lit up.
These days, those two seemed subtly fine. From Verathien’s point of view, the two must have been in heat with each other, but for some reason they were desperately hiding it.
‘If you push your back even slightly… Won’t they ignite each other?’
She’s Vera Shien who’s been around for quite some time, but there’s something she’s never seen before. It was the scene of her intercourse with humans, but Vera Shien had never witnessed such an intercourse between her man and woman.
So, seeing that scene now, Veracien was slightly interested. Maybe, I thought, if I could light a fire between the two of them, I might be able to see the scene.
‘Where should I push my back?’
Vera Shien licked her lips and she started following the two of them.
