Chapter 36 – 35. Academy Without Aris
Aris woke up early in the morning to the sound of someone knocking on her door. When she opened the door, she saw three women wearing military uniforms.
At that time, the woman who seemed to have the highest rank spoke first.
“Is your name Aris? “As of now, we will be deploying you to explore the dungeon, so please follow us.”
“…?”
“No. She suddenly goes like this? “Without prior notice?”
Are these really a joke? You come early in the morning without telling me and tell me to explore a dungeon? I will never go. No? I can never go!
“I’m a bit embarrassed that you suddenly came like this. Why don’t you come on a different day?”
Aris came out with a strong attitude to postpone the dungeon exploration, but the women’s facial expressions did not change at all.
“Well, okay. Then all you have to do is go to jail.”
“… “
Jail for just a little thought. It must be a joke.?
Aris, who thought she was lying, looked at the women’s faces and unfortunately, she could tell from the women’s expressions that she was really planning on sending herself to prison if she didn’t go to the dungeon.
“Ha. I’ll go! “I’m going!”
“Then follow me.”
Aris sighed at the woman’s gesture, and she followed them.
Wait… Come to think of it, I understand that dungeon exploration takes a long time?
“Hey, how long does it take to explore the dungeon? If it takes a long time, it might be a bit…”
In response to Aris’ question, a woman spread out two of her fingers.
“Two days.”
Yeah, about two days is fine-
“Two days.? What do you mean, of course it’s 2 weeks? Since you’re an academy student, you probably don’t know what dungeon exploration is.”
2 weeks.? Are these bitches really crazy.!
Ha… I can’t go to jail. Wait… Now that I think about it, you didn’t even talk to Arthur!! If you disappear for two weeks without saying a word, you could be in real trouble!
“The. Sisters.? There’s someone I need to let you know that I’m going on a dungeon expedition. Can you give me a moment? Hehe.”
Because she was Aris, who was willing to sell her soul for Arthur, it wasn’t very difficult for her to give up her pride.
“Hmm. Then I’ll give it 10 minutes.”
10 minutes? Could it be that he really lost his conscience.?
“Lol. Since you gave it to me, can’t you just give me 20 more minutes and make it a neat 30 minutes?”
However, despite Aris’ request, the woman’s attitude was firm.
“10 minutes.”
“Please. Or at least 20 minutes.”
“10 minutes.”
“If you don’t like it, leave now.”
That bitch is really a fucking bitch. Unless you have bad feelings towards me, how could you do that?
Of course, contrary to what I thought, even 10 minutes were precious, so the flattery did not stop.
“Ah, thank you for 10 minutes! “I’ll come back right away!”
“Wait.”
However, Aris had no choice but to stop her steps at the words of the woman who seemed to be her subordinate.
“But what is your relationship with the person you are meeting?”
Why are you asking that? I guess not.
“He’s my boyfriend.”
After hearing Aris’ words, the woman’s face began to distort like a demon.
“This really isn’t going to work. Don’t go! I can never let you go!”
As the woman began to cause a scene, the woman who appeared to be the leader began to stop her.
“Go quickly and come back.”
Perhaps she felt betrayed by the woman’s actions, and the woman who had caused her trouble began to stiffen.
“Leader.? Why. All couples…”
“Keuhum.”
“No way. The captain also has a boyfriend.?”
“… “
The woman collapsed in her seat, perhaps shocked by the fact that the person she trusted also had a boyfriend.
“Haha. I’m the only one who isn’t there. I’m the only one who’s not there. Furthermore, I also got a captain…”
“What do you think that is? What’s difficult about dating? “Have you never dated while attending the academy?”
Aris, who could not understand the woman’s attitude, asked the woman slightly harshly, and after hearing her words, the woman took off the hat she was wearing and showed her face.
“!!”
I couldn’t see her face clearly because of the hat… But she looked hideous. Hmm… If you look like that, it’s not worth it. Wouldn’t it be impossible unless you go to a world where your appearance is reversed?
Aris looked at the woman’s face again, wondering if there was something wrong with her eyes, but to her disappointment, all she could see was that her eyes were not wrong.
Wow… How does a person’s face look like an apple pie dropped from the third floor? I’m really glad I didn’t end up like that. Thank you so much, mom and dad.
Aris couldn’t help but be surprised by the amazing looks(?) Of the woman she had never seen before, and at the same time, she felt grateful to her parents. And it didn’t take long for these feelings to turn into sympathy.
“I. I’m sorry. I was careless.”
“… “
Aris, who acknowledged her mistake, immediately apologized to her woman, and upon hearing this, the woman simply put her hat back on without saying a word. And for a moment she thought she saw tears streaming down the woman’s face, but she decided to pretend she didn’t see them, thinking it was just her mood.
“Then. I’ll go and come back.”
In response to Aris’ words, the woman captain motioned silently for her to come back, and Aris bowed her head and ran to Arthur’s room.
…
ㅡKnock.
“Ugh… Who are you from this morning…”
At the sound of someone knocking on the door in the morning, Arthur opened the door, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and saw Aris standing there looking restless.
“… Aris, what happened this morning?”
“Arthur, I have to go somewhere for a long time, so I came to tell you that.”
“When are you going?”
“Now…?”
Huh.? Are you going now? It’s so sudden.
“. When are you coming?”
“2…”
“2? I can’t hear well.”
“2 weeks…”
2 weeks.? Did I hear wrong? Looking at his face, it doesn’t look like he’s lying.
“You’re not kidding, right? Then I’ll be furious.”
Arthur hoped that Aris’ words were a lie, but unfortunately, Aris’ expression was extremely serious.
“Sorry.”
Ah. I can’t do it. Endure for 2 weeks without Aris.? Let’s first tell them not to go.! Since Aris likes me, she will listen to what I say.
“Then. I can’t go.?”
However, perhaps because she had anticipated Arthur’s reaction, she held Arthur’s hand without saying a word and continued her speech.
“You know I came here to tell you because it doesn’t work, Arthur.”
“And since this is disciplinary action, I don’t have a choice. They say if I don’t go, they’ll send me to jail. What should I do? I just have to go.”
Ah, prison… Now that I think about it, I heard that they were punished for looking for me the other day… I guess it was because of that.
“… “
Seeing Arthur standing there without reacting, Aris let go of her hand and hugged him tightly.
“Huh? Don’t get upset… And two weeks go by faster than you think?”
It can’t be like that… Life at the academy is really hard these days, so you really can’t go…
“I. I’m having a really hard time these days… Is there really no other way.? I can’t do it without you…”
In the end, Arthur started to bully her to stop her from going to Aris, but even Arthur himself knew the truth. That there is no such method. Even if he said he didn’t go right now, he would have to go to jail if he did so, so it was no different.
Aris was also taken aback when Arthur, who was usually not shy, showed up like this, but since she didn’t have much time left, she had to go.
Haha, if I had just had a little more time, I would have appeased him somehow.
“Arthur! If I go, it’s not like I’ll never see you again. If you keep doing this, it’ll be hard for me too.”
“When I come back, I will stay with you. Huh? So, can you wait a moment? “You read a lot of books while I’m away, and I’ll definitely check them out.”
After finishing her words, Aris let go of Arthur.
“I really have to go now! It’s still close… See you in two weeks, Arthur. “I love you!”
However, Arthur could not say anything despite her words, and she could only watch Aris disappear while smiling at her.
…
Arthur felt very bad about the fact that she wouldn’t see Aris for two weeks, but she had to attend her classes anyway, so she calmed down and entered the classroom.
Since there was some time left before her class started, Arthur opened her book and began to preview what she was going to learn today.
“What do you mean… Should I read an easier book first…”
While Arthur was stressed about studying, she saw a familiar person coming in from her front door.
“Fabian!”
Arthur called his name out of joy, but Fabian seemed to not have heard him and looked around before sitting down somewhere else.
What? Did Fabian not see me? Hmm… That could be true. I will have to take class alone today.
Arthur felt sad for some reason and started reading the book again. However, she had no choice but to raise her head again when she heard a voice coming from next to her.
“Arthur, hello?”
When I looked in the direction the voice came from, there were male and female students I had never seen before.
“Ugh. Hello?”
I couldn’t quite remember who it was, but I accepted the greeting.
“I heard that. “I heard you have amnesia. Is it true?”
. I don’t remember telling anyone, how did you know.?
“Yes.”
When Arthur answered yes, she started whispering among themselves.
“Wow, it’s real?”
“Look at that. “You’re solving practice problems.”
“Your body is sick, but your head has also become sick? Kkkk.”
It seemed like she was speaking quietly, but since she was close, Arthur could not help but hear her.
Bye… You idiot… You’re not talking about me, are you? I didn’t do anything wrong…
At that time, a woman in the group spoke to Arthur.
“Arthur, it’s hard for you to adjust to losing your memory. Shall we help you? “How about I watch your studies too?”
Arthur’s heart began to shake at the sight of the woman smiling brightly and extending her hand as she said she would help him.
I guess I heard wrong… Well, if you hate me that much, there’s no way they’ll help you…
Studying has been really hard these days, so I’m glad I did.
“Thank you for your help, but were we originally friends? “I don’t remember much.”
“Hmm. Well, we were somewhat friendly, right? But don’t worry, we can become friends again. Right?”
“Ugh.”
At the woman’s words, Arthur just thought that he had more friends and moved on. Without seeing her bitter smile.
