18 – A Storm Strikes Twice A Storm Strikes Twice

“New students who have just entered the Imperial Academy. We sincerely welcome you. I would like to say only nice things in such a good place, but as the president of the academy, I want to make sure to point this out. In the future, really hard and arduous studies will haunt you. It will be difficult, but if you persevere, the light will surely dwell, so I hope everyone will go forward with strength.”

Starting with the dean’s short but bold congratulatory speech, the welcome party for freshmen began.

Academy’s biggest festival held in a gigantic banquet hall.

From freshmen to adults, there is no problem with getting drunk today.

“Nice to meet you! I am….”

“… Oh! You see it here! This friend here….”

Those who have been friends since before entering the school send their regards.

Where are you from, how are your parents, how is the estate?

The criticism that the academy is an extension of the aristocratic society was not entirely wrong.

Of course, commoners are by no means standing around blankly.

If a commoner entered the Imperial Academy, it could be said to be a verified check.

For this reason, nobles would exchange greetings and then go looking for commoner students to recruit.

Enrolled students and freshmen all over the place laughing and chatting with each other.

Especially freshmen deserve everyone’s attention.

Conversely, there were three men and women who were completely estranged from that interest.

To be more precise, one of them was taken as a brat from day one.

The other is focusing on the continent’s least popular sorcery.

I was avoiding the last one because it felt burdensome to even approach him.

Confused, confused. Oh, I just want to go and exercise. To the point where I even had the crazy idea of

. Currently, Kyle’s inside is not very good.

“It’s a very noisy place.”

“If it’s noisy, just go to your room, please.”

“I was told to attend, so I had no choice but to come.”

Tisha and Ian keep bickering right next to each other.

Since Tisha doesn’t want to stay away from Kyle and Ian wants to be next to Tisha.

In the end, it was poor Kyle who was innocent.

I’d rather Tisha be quiet and completely ignore her Ian.

It seems that she can’t condone the fact that Ian is by her side.

Even the problem was that this wasn’t the end.

‘These two alone are enough trouble….’

Isn’t it like that sometimes? When you feel like someone is looking at you.

At first she thought it was an illusion, but Kyle soon realized it wasn’t.

“….”

A red haired woman sitting in the distance and tipping her glass.

Princess Elgar had her eyes fixed only on herself in this crazy party.

‘Really… I want to run away.’

Ian continues to talk to Tisha, whether or not he knows Kyle’s intentions.

“Hey.”

“Hey, how many times do I say no? Do you really think my name is Hei?”

“Ah… sorry. Tisha. I have something I want to ask you.”

To be honest, I want to tell you not to ask, to keep your mouth shut.

However, it was very difficult for Tisha to treat others so coldly.

So I couldn’t bear to say that, and all I could do was cross my arms and wrap my arms around my dissatisfaction.

“Do you hate me?”

… Wow, this bastard Hit the fastball from the beginning.

“… I beg your pardon?”

“I asked if I didn’t like it.”

At Ian’s question, Tisha looks at him with a puzzled look.

Then I’m doing this because I hate you, or I’m doing this because I like you? Feeling to do.

It’s just that I’m not good at saying things I don’t like, so I didn’t say anything out of my mouth.

“… Why are you asking such a question all of a sudden?”

“I feel like he gets angry whenever I say something.”

“You think I get angry every time I talk to you?”

“Yes.”

“That’s right. I get angry every time you talk. Then why get angry?”

“Because you hate me?”

Now, Tisha must hate Ian.

The problem is, it’s not just that I don’t like it, it’s that there are definitely other causes.

Because of that reason, he gets angry every time he talks about it.

Ian’s eyes blink as if he doesn’t know why, or if he’s pretending not to know.

“Wrong, Ian. I’m angry with you, not because I hate you, but because I easily spit out words that are upside down in people. That’s why I’m angry, and that’s why I hate it. I know?”

“But I didn’t mean it in a bad way.”

Tisha sighs in amazement at Ian’s confident answer.

The same goes for Kyle, who was quietly listening to the absurdity.

If the words you’ve said so far are well-intentioned, then you should just get your snout stitched up.

“Ha… That’s Okay. I feel like my stomach will explode if we talk more.”

Even though all she knew was Kyle and Ian who were here, Tisha turned her body around and she disappeared somewhere.

“… Are you angry?”

“Then he’s angry, does he look like he’s joking?”

What the hell, this guy who doesn’t even notice rat droppings is the main character.

I felt stuffy inside as I felt like I had eaten 2,000 sweet potatoes the size of sweet potatoes.

‘I thought about it a bit, but now I really can’t. Original flow? Let’s say it’s something to eat.’

If you push it like the original, you or Tisha will die of fire disease.

Anyway, even if it’s the flow of the original, it’s all about knowing a little bit about the characters.

At this point, destroying the original would be much better.

“Ian.”

“I am listening.”

“I’ll go and calm Tisha down, so stay here.”

“I have nowhere to go anyway. You worry unnecessarily.”

“… Ian.”

“What is it?”

“That’s why Tisha hates you so much.”

“… ?”

“I just get it, just saying one word is just going around like that and turning people inside out.”

Then Ian slightly frowned and glared at Kyle.

When Tisha said something, she didn’t react at all.

When Kyle says, this time she says, ‘I’m kind of obnoxious.’ She’s like advertising.

‘What? Damn you bastard Do you think I’ll be afraid of staring at you?’

I know very well that Ian’s swordsmanship is very good.

I’ve never seen him, but he’s still the main character, so there’s no way he’s weak.

But just because he is the main character, he is by no means strong.

He may become the absolute strong when he goes to Naa Ah-jung, but he really isn’t right now.

Right now Ian is pretty good among my peers, that’s all.

‘When Ian’s opponent is Lear or Leah….’

No matter how much I think about it, I only draw a scene where Ian explodes.

It is the result of imagining cuteness by purifying it as much as possible.

If you actually really fight, you probably have to worry about crushing your limbs.

Leaving Ian behind, she moves in the direction where Tisha disappeared.

You can hear people laughing and talking from all over the place.

In the meantime, I overheard some rare conversations about Kyle himself, but I pretended not to know.

“Tisha.”

The footsteps stopped on the second floor balcony. Tisha was leaning against it.

“Kyle? Why did you come all the way here?”

“There then I will follow you, will Ian be with you? I am also frustrated.”

“Isn’t that true? I didn’t do it badly because I was angry alone, right?”

She herself gets mad and she herself gets on her nerves.

Ian, who actually caused the anger, didn’t even know what the problem was.

Kyle stood next to Tisha, muttering, “It’s a mask even if you’re too nice to be human.”

“I’d love to tell you to think positively, but I can’t.”

“I really want to do that. I know it’s not a lie to say there’s no malice. I know… Seriously, I feel like my stomach will explode just by listening to what he does or what he says. Aren’t I weird or bad?”

“Yes. Of course not. At least because it’s Tisha, she put up with it that much.”

Not just empty words, really, like everyone else, I would have been very outraged.

Right now, even Kyle himself wonders why this bastard is like this.

“Haa….”

Unlike a banquet hall full of brilliant light, the balcony gives a very calm feeling.

Is it because the moonlight is all that shines in a place covered with darkness?

With the addition of the cool night air, all the boiling speed subsides.

“To be honest. I think a few times that I want to get along with Ian.”

“Yes?”

“It is said that I wandered for quite a long time. That’s a bit unsettling though. He must have had something to do with it. So if that kind of person has changed indifferently, then I think it’s worth it. So the next time we meet, I wonder if I’ll treat you a little better….”

Tisha thought for a moment, but she shook her head as if she couldn’t do it.

“I can’t do that either. Ugh! That guy is the worst!”

Tak! Tisha knocked on the balcony railing a few times.

Kyle replied, ‘I agree with you.’ She tried to go inside.

If a man and a woman stay together for too long, strange gossip may circulate.

“Over there.”

But Tisha doesn’t follow her and suddenly grabs her hand.

“Kyle. Can I ask you something?”

I nodded her head, and she said with a slightly conflicted look.

“We are good friends, right? While we were just casually saying hello, the motives we briefly ran into on the way. It’s not like that, but you’re really close, aren’t you?”

“Of course. I’m just saying hello. I really think that would make me more sad.”

I don’t know Ian, but Tisha would be fine.

If Ian is the one who drives accidents and makes them bigger, Tisha is the one who usually solves them.

Still, if I were to choose a good protagonist because I got close, Tisha would probably be the first.

“Let’s go in slowly. I’m worried that Ian will get into another accident if I leave him alone.”

“Kyle seems to be secretly concerned about Ian, too, right?”

“It’s kind of like that. Still, I came all the way here after receiving a letter of recommendation from the Marquis.”

“I am. I just want to ignore it, but I can’t because I don’t know you at all.”

Kyle and Tisha are just walking inside, chatting about things.

Suddenly, a man appeared in front of the two men and women.

“Kyle John Nassen.”

The man’s true identity was none other than Leto.

“Princess… Hmmm. So, Elgar-sama wants to see you for a second.”

… Oh why again Please, Princess. Why are you doing this to me

The Archduchess of Littorio It was Kyle who was about to face another storm.
