Chapter 46 – Red Is Busy. (With Illustrations)
The moment when classes at the academy are over and everyone should be happy with the sense of liberation.
“It’s fun…!”
Seria walked all over her capital city with her mouth sticking out like a duck.
It had already been a long time since I had dinner with Rike.
I was going to invite you to dinner tonight, but Rike has already disappeared.
Recently, Lee Ke is also conscious of her own hard work of secretly guarding her Robert. .
She thought that it was so delicious that it would be nice to have a lunchbox tomorrow as well.
‘No, no!’
When Rike wakes up at dawn and thinks about the lunch box to prepare, her regret runs away.
‘I won’t tell you after all…’
It was clear that something had happened to her friend.
Circumstantial evidence is spread all over the place, but it’s strange not knowing.
It is true that we have become closer and closer compared to her before, but Rike, who does not talk about her insides, felt vulgar.
It may be a really unspeakable situation, but…
‘Still, it’s sad to be disappointed!’
Anyway, for that reason, Seria decided to unlock all the desserts she was holding back today.
She snorted and moved her feet towards her shop, which was worth it even if it was expensive to eat.
She was always the only customer who came to the store alone, but she got used to it once she tried it.
As soon as you see the signboard of the store in your eyes, a sweet taste drifts in your mouth.
“Eh?”
Seria’s unstoppable feet stopped.
It was because I saw a woman circling in front of the store like a lost dog.
In particular, she was wearing her academy uniform, which caught Seria’s attention at once.
She is tall, with lumps of fat on her chest and gray hair that reaches her waist, which even she, a woman, is curious about the touch.
When she was in combat class, she was a knight undergraduate cadet she had seen many times.
‘What are you doing?’
Seria was going to just ignore it and go into her shop.
Seeing her beside her, her expression was so melancholy that it reminded me of Rike in a different way.
“… Won’t you go in?”
“Hick?!”
She hangs out in front of the store, so I talk to her slightly, but she is startled and has a seizure as if she had been hit by a knife.
Seria was also surprised by her.
“I didn’t mean to surprise you… I’m sorry.”
“Oh, no! I’m sorry…”
Seeing her fixing her gaze on her land, Seria quickly recognized and understood her disposition.
Although the information I had seen in the academy class up to this point was close to being put together.
“If you’re alone, would you like to eat together?”
“Yes···?”
Seria tugged at the troubled Chloe’s sleeve. She looked around her and began to sneak up on her ceria.
“My theory is that delicious food tastes better when shared.”
Seria led Chloe, saying, “I want to eat more delicious cakes today, so please join us.”
*****
There is something that makes you want to eat when your heart is full and your mind is full of fatigue.
Recently, since her older sister had been eating only low-salinity healthy food, she kept thinking about sweet desserts that made her mouth ache.
In the meantime, starting with the story of her marriage, Chloe forced herself to go out alone because she couldn’t stand her own situation, not knowing when she would be sold.
It was nice to come out excitedly. As long as it comes out!
After entering the academy, the female students of the Faculty of Engineering were once dragged in the name of a social gathering in front of a famous dessert shop.
I couldn’t forget the taste and came to my senses the moment I grabbed the doorknob to enter the store as if possessed.
‘Uh, what should I do?’
Inside, there were people huddled together with acquaintances at the table to spend time.
There is no one who comes alone like you.
‘I want to eat…’
Dessert flickers in front of your eyes when you come all the way here and go back.
I couldn’t do this or that, I was just walking around in front of the store.
In the meantime, a red string of salvation descended from the sky.
“… Won’t you go in?”
–
“The Mont Blanc here is really delicious.”
“No, that’s right!”
Chloe sympathized with Seria and carefully moved her piece of cake from her tray.
Seria squeezed in a huge amount of sugar to match her small frame.
‘Miraculous···.’
I’m not talking about eating.
In fact, including that… It’s been a long time since I’ve had a conversation like this for the first time, no, it’s the first time.
She had seen Seria during actual combat classes, but it was a completely different atmosphere from when she showed a combative atmosphere.
It looks like a small animal that came down from the back mountain.
She was only talking about dessert, so she was able to carry on the conversation without thinking too much about Chloe.
“Can I have more?”
“···Yes!”
Once again, the trays stacked in three tiers came in and only after they were emptied did the girls look satisfied.
“Whoah!
In Seria’s self-talk, Chloe naturally reminded her of Eclair.
What would you say if you found out that you ate dessert like this instead of a proper meal?
I don’t know whether to get angry or sigh or just be indifferent.
“…”
“Next time, if you’re going to come, come with me! Rike couldn’t eat this much, so I just watch and eat alone.”
Obviously, the two always stuck together at the academy.
The merciless use of the baton by Rike in combat lessons is deeply embedded in Chloe’s head.
Chloe couldn’t refuse and nodded her head once.
*****
It wasn’t the day when there were actual classes at the academy.
She has been asked to come to the academy if she has time, so she sits in the dean’s office and she faces Doran.
“How is it?”
I smiled as I flipped through the wad of paper Doran showed me.
“It’s anonymous, but the response is weaker than expected.”
Haha!!”
Doran smiled coolly at my reaction.
It is said that he received an intermediate impression and evaluation of the temporarily created class ‘Practice 1’ from the Faculty of Knights and Swordsmanship.
I already knew it after hearing Rike.
Most of the evaluations were filled with complaints, such as why it was a very violent class because I wanted to do it at this time, why I was only in the first grade, but there were also unexpectedly favorable evaluations.
The text written by Rike was close to an embarrassing hymn, and I could tell it at a glance.
“From the time I drafted the class at the tavern, I naturally expected that there would be a lot of complaints.”
“W-wouldn’t it be?”
What is the current perception of the academy among the sons of nobles?
It is an academy life to celebrate youth and form personal connections for a prosperous future.
The 2nd and 3rd years, which were out of sight of Doran, are progressing like that without any major changes.
Since there is no actual class for the second graders, who were the direct cause of the opening of the actual class, it can be seen as harsh from the perspective of the first grader who suffers even if it is the same as a chance.
Once a week, an adventurer who is not a noble comes and beats him up so badly that he cannot help but complain.
“I think the more the plants grown in the greenhouse react, the more they do it right. This is the essence of the academy and the meaning of its existence.”
“I’m glad we have a chance to make it right now,” Doran murmured.
“Looking at the reaction, I think we can either make it stronger or just go on like this.”
“Ummm- And since it’s not a regular class, there’s no need to take a separate test. The academy handles that in relation to attendance.”
“All right.”
“…And these are the opinions provided by Roland.”
I took the papers Doran handed me and glanced through them briefly.
“Will it be okay to have classes outdoors…?”
I thought there would still be worries and trauma about the last incident, but Doran’s face looked carefree.
“What wizards fear most is the moment they are not ready. It is my belief that if you prepare properly, there is no need to worry.
Doran ran her remaining arm through her beard.
“The church won’t turn a blind eye if they ask for cooperation in advance… According to Roland, after graduating from the Faculty of Knights and starting life as servants of knights, I’ve heard that there are many graduates who struggle because they don’t have knowledge about the camp.”
I don’t know the system of the knights, but the adventurers also have a lot of trouble at first in the camp.
“Hmm…”
“Of course, your opinion is the most important. The academy is in no position to say one way or another.”
“Let’s think about it. I think it’s a good idea.”
Since Rike has been camping with me before, I thought he would know some simple things and it would be fun in its own way.
Even though she grew up in an aristocratic family, she didn’t seem to have much objection to sleeping outside.
“Thank you… I’m eating up platinum’s time like this. Please know that I’m always sorry.”
“I hope you don’t mind too much. It’s a good experience for me too.”
In fact, when I think of Rike, it is not enough for her to work at the academy for free until she dies.
Hehe—- you always change the image of an adventurer I think of.”
“If you float it like that, I’ll get stabbed too.”
“It’s not empty talk. He has much more dignity and common sense than noble Roland.”
“…”
She didn’t really respond to that.
–
“Then I’ll stop by before the next class.”
“You’ll be busy with your day job, but thank you for making time for me. Take care.”
Drooling-
After a short meeting with Doran, he left the academy.
Rickey. She’s busy taking theory classes now, so I just have to look at other tasks.
–
I headed towards the slums to see if there was any contact from the information guild.
“Tsk-“
It was bullshit.
Should I go home and move my body until the academy ends?
The road from the slums to the outskirts of the capital, where houses are located, is less popular.
The back road, hidden by the buildings, was dark because the sun did not come in even in broad daylight.
…
…
‘····Are you feeling weak these days?’
Must have looked at it wrong
I pretended not to see it and tried to move on.
“It’s not like I didn’t see you, isn’t it too stingy to not say hello even if it’s not work?”
A face with pure doubt that he really does not understand.
With my knowledge, I was very embarrassed because I had no idea why Eclair, which was busy with construction, was in a back alley.
