139. It’s a man… ?

***

Time passed and the afternoon lecture was over.

Anastasia and Medelfen’s arrival at the academy was quickly spreading the word.

The size of the central academy was clearly vast enough to be described as vast, and even though there were more than 10 buildings on the site, rumors within the academy spread faster than expected.

Once rumors start to circulate, it takes less than a few hours for them to spread… … .

…

“I heard that Major Anastasia came to the academy, do you know?”

“If it’s Anastasia, then Major Anastasia of the Western Front?”

“yes. The one who is called the main axis of the Western Front.”

“I know. But why did you come to the academy all of a sudden? Could it be because of the accident the other day?”

“I don’t know too, but Glesia right now? They say they’re meeting a cadet with that name.”

…

On the way to the training ground with David. Nature was involuntarily startled by the voices of the cadets chatting about rumors.

Already word of her was going around among the cadets.

‘Is Anastasia with Glesia right now?.’

While thinking about it, I inadvertently remembered the appointment time. As far as I remember, the time I decided to meet Glesia was at 6pm in the park.

“Agar Castle. Do you know about Major Anastasia?”

When David also expressed interest, I nodded awkwardly.

“…Not in detail, but I know it to some extent.”

‘Anastasia.’

One of the main pillars of the only four empires called the pillars of the empire, and beings that will bring about the greatest upheaval in this world. Her reputation was so high that even the cadets of her class knew her name.

“He’s someone who’s active on the Western Front.”

When I succinctly cut down on Anastasia, David let out a bewildered laugh.

“Yes, but what’s going on when someone of that size suddenly visits the academy?”

“Well. I’m not sure either. I don’t know if it’s really because of the incident, but there must be a reason.”

In fact, I couldn’t even guess.

Is it because of the accident related to Leteia or some other reason?

Since I didn’t know Anastasia’s personality, even if there were other reasons, I had no way of knowing that.

“Then, as the cadets passed by just said, didn’t they come to see a cadet named Glesia? You’re a bit close with Glesia, too.”

When David asked calmly, he didn’t deny it.

“If you guessed it, yes. But I don’t know if it’s real or not.”

“Have you heard anything from Glesia?”

“I knew at least that Major Anastasia was visiting the academy today. But I haven’t heard anything in particular about the purpose of my visit.”

“yes? Then I’m more curious. The instructors at the academy right now are all famous, but Major Anastasia is a different person… .”

Looking at David, who showed great curiosity, it was because I didn’t show it on the outside, but in my heart, I wanted to go see Glesia right away.

And I wanted to see Anastasia right next to me with my own two eyes… but now I still suppressed my heart.

‘I can’t approach it unnaturally.’

Having greatly experienced how important first impressions are to people, I thought that I should approach people as naturally as possible and give them a good impression.

Above all, he must never do anything that would offend Anastasia. That’s why I was thinking of digesting my usual schedule until 6 o’clock when we promised to meet.

that buck

He said while looking at the door of the training ground he reached before he knew it.

“David, stop thinking about anything else and let’s practice today. I’ll take care of the training properly. He said that you’re going to reach level 3 soon.”

“Right…then let’s practice.”

When David stopped thinking, I tried to clear my mind too.

I am actually the most curious about Anastasia, but… .

‘Let’s think carefully.’

again.

again… .

The sound of different footsteps sounded the same.

Two women who looked very much like each other were walking on the promenade inside the academy.

Dark blue hair, a calm, thoughtless face. But even so, the excitement in each other’s eyes is obvious.

However, even so, if there is a distinct difference, the biggest difference between the two people’s clothes can be said.

Glesia wearing a pure white cadet uniform and Anastasia wearing an officer’s uniform with countless medals.

That’s why the two of them have faces, but they resemble each other in so many things, even the emotions they have.

Took.

Upon arriving at the park within the academy, Anastasia stopped walking first.

Seruk.

As she slowly sat down on the bench, Glesia quickly sat down next to her.

Looking at Glesia, who was sitting next to her, Anastasia smiled kindly.

“Glesia.”

“yes. sister.’

Seeing Glesia respond right away as soon as she called, Anastasia made the smile on her lips even thicker.

“In the meantime… you were very sad about your sister, right? I can’t contact you often. It’s been years since we’ve met like this. I am also very sorry.”

“no. Why would I feel sorry for my sister? Sister, you had no choice but to do that.”

When Glesia, who hesitated for a moment, immediately denied her words, Anastasia stretched out her hand with a smile.

Squeak.

Unlike her own hair, which had become frizzy after standing on the battlefield for a long time, she carefully caressed Glesia’s glossy hair.

“…”

Glesia accepted Anastasia’s touch with a small smile. It was such a strange attitude that the cadets of the same A1 class would doubt their own eyes if they saw it.

And on the contrary, Anastasia, who displayed such affection, also had a look that an officer they knew would have doubted.

Anastasia, who lovingly shines affection.

Glesia smiles softly with a bright expression.

It was like a special appearance that appeared earlier when there were only two people.

“When you say that, it puts my mind at ease. and Glaceon. While I couldn’t see you… you really grew up a lot.”

“yes. I am now the same height as my sister.”

As Glesia smiled lightly, Anastasia looked at her younger sister leaning on her shoulder with an emotionless face.

“…I know. Now you can say that you are like me.”

Still, compared to a few years ago, Glesia became much prettier.

Even so, the innocent personality like a child did not change.

It seemed to Anastasia better than anything else. I was proud that my younger brother, who should have been alone, did not stray and grew up properly, and seemed to be adapting well to this world.

‘When did he really grow up like this?’

The younger sister, whom he always had to take care of, was now facing him as a fully grown adult.

Seruk.

Anastasia, who had been caressing Glesia’s hair with a hand full of affection, lowered her hand to caress Glesia’s cheek, and Glesia shook her head as if it tickled her.

“My real sister still treats me like a child… Now I’m old enough to face her.”

“You still look young to me.”

“no. Sister, I am an adult now.”

When Glesia appealed to her as an adult with a calm face, Anastasia burst out with a small smile.

“Yes, Glesia is also really grown up now. So how is the academy life? I heard that you got good grades enough to enter A1 class.”

“…Academy life isn’t pretty bad. I think I can adapt well enough.”

“yes? If so, that’s good.”

While answering, Anastasia felt a little more relieved.

I was worried that Glesia, who will be entering the academy this year, might find it difficult to adapt to the academy, but looking at what she is saying now, it seems that there is nothing difficult.

Seruk.

Anastasia, who was caressing her sister’s cheek like that, suddenly remembered an accident that had recently occurred.

inside the empire. It was also an unprecedented incident in which traces of an apostle appeared in the space where the academy cadets were.

“I heard that there was an accident in the middle of a lecture recently. I heard that the background was about an apostle… Is there anything wrong?”

Even when she spoke seriously, Glessia remained unconcerned.

“I’m fine, sister. It’s not like I was in an accident.”

Anastasia calmly nodded at the calm answer and spoke in a determined voice.

“Then I’m glad. And you won’t have to worry about it in the future. Regarding the apostles, there is a big movement going on in the army and the imperial family right now. As soon as the specific title of the Apostle of Sacrifices is revealed, the Subjugation of the Apostle will begin soon.”

In my heart, I wanted to solve it myself, but it was just a pity that I couldn’t do it right away.

“Actually, sister… .”

“yes?”

“There is a cadet who has been through that incident.”

“The cadet who was involved in the incident? Fortunately, from what I heard, both students were cured.”

“that’s right. It’s because the person I’m going to introduce to you today is someone who has been involved in an incident.”

“The person to introduce… ?”

“yes. I have a friend.”

When Glesia cautiously but clearly expressed her opinion, Anastasia blinked blankly.

“…friend? Glesia. Have you made friends?”

When she asked again and again as if it was hard to believe, Glesia nodded with a slightly awkward smile.

“yes. I also have a friend So when this incident happened, I was really shocked. Because your friend was in an accident.”

…Anastasia opened her mouth for a moment at the unconcerned answer.

“……”

But even for a while, Anastasia’s eyes shone as if she was really happy.

“Good! So, what kind of cadet did you become friends with? I only heard the condition of the cadet who had an accident, but I did not hear what kind of cadet it was.”

Seeing Anastasia speaking brightly, Glesia slowly checked the time.

“Sister. I will be back soon.”

“…Soon? So you’re coming here?”

“Yes. We decided to meet today. Also, I thought it would be nice to introduce my friend directly to you.”

At that time, Anastasia was even more surprised at Glesia’s appearance.

that buck

A man entered the entrance of the park just in time.

And Glesia’s expression brightened noticeably as she passed by Anastasia and identified the man.

“Sister. That person.”

…At Glesia’s bright voice, Anastasia slowly turned her head.

And she, too, could see it.

The figure of a man slowly heading towards this place.

“A man…?”

Anastasia leaked such words without even realizing it.

friend.

…It must have been Glesia’s first friend.

But that it was a friend of the opposite sex, not an ordinary friend… She really couldn’t even think of it.
