Chapter 153

“You haven’t come back yet?”

“Yes. They say the monsters won’t appear anymore, so it should be fine.”

Frid opened the door to the stale room and entered, answering my question.

“Still, it’s strange.”

Was it a very urgent matter?

It is understandable that they did not wake me, who was probably sleeping, since the imperial carriage suddenly left Summer Turge in the middle of the night. I wish I had left at least a note.

Me, Frid, Baeller, and Ramyu could take charge of the barrier one by one. Also, today is the last day.

If it’s outside news, I’m listening. When asked if there was anything special, there was nothing in particular.

Aindarlock’s declaration of support for Vector will, of course, bring a big repercussion. The focus is on the forces of Tane and Tania, and those two forces are still looking at each other.

“Fortunately, today is the weekend, but what if I don’t come back by next week?”

“I wish I could. If that happens, I will be in charge of half of His Highness, and you will be in charge of Hira’s half.”

“Since midterm exams are coming soon, I don’t know if the practice room will be rented.”

“I’ll go to the main building later and find out.”

The refugees who were taught by Ainim and Hira suddenly lost their instructor.

Everyone was progressing similarly according to the textbooks, so even Frid and I would be able to handle it somehow.

Of course, this is a story when the two did not return until the weekend. I think that probably won’t happen.

“How are you today, senior?”

Frid went out into the clearing with dumbbells, and I asked Baeller, who was yawning on the couch.

In the morning, he visits every room without exception, but Baeller does not stay long.

For Baeller, the room is just a place to rest for a while, so the rest of the time is devoted to practicing magic. to the point of getting bored

“Still slow. The maximum is “Blade Vortex”.”

“Because that’s how fast it is. Because it’s the end of the 4th star.”

Baeller is now able to cast even the final stage of 4-star magic, 「Blade Vortex」, with imagination theory.

It may be a long way from replacing Kanin’s share, but I don’t think there is any need to be impatient. I will do my best to help you reach 6 stars within the remaining year.

‘Even though I didn’t eat it.’

regret remains

The dragon hearts I ate would have doubled mine no matter who in the engineering department fed them.

“Good morning! Aren’t the sisters back yet?”

“I mean.”

“Then look at this!”

Ramyu spurred through the door of the stale room with a clear voice. Without showing any signs of worrying about Ai-sama or Hira, he abruptly held out something he had brought with him.

“bow?”

A palm-sized bow and short arrows.

At first glance, it was the size of a toy, but sure enough, the arrow was not a point, but was covered with some kind of smooth leather.

It is commonly referred to as a pop-up.

“It’s a toy.”

“Remember? I played with this a lot in the castle when I was little. I shot this in my brother’s forehead and got scolded.”

“I don’t remember, but I picture it very well in my head. Where did you get it from?”

“I brought it because it was in an ownerless locker.”

“Don’t shoot people again.”

“yes.”

Then, Ramyu immediately pulled a protest against the stale wall. It was a photo that Neil copied and left in the ward.

Tick.

The form was held as it was, but the arrow could not even move forward properly.

“It sucks.”

“Ahaha, so it must have hit my brother’s face. Would you like to shoot?”

“Give me.”

I took the bow from Lamu. All of the special ability points are consumed in the trick, so it’s level 8.

Can you shoot a bow well?

Poof!

“Oh oh!”

drawing a neat trajectory.

The arrow that left the protest was stuck in the center of the photo. It was exactly where my face was. I nodded.

“This is me.”

“You’re so proud that you got one right… … Ouch.”

“It’s the weekend, what are you doing?”

I smiled and pressed the arrow firmly into Ramyu’s broad forehead. With the arrow attached to his forehead, Ramyu clapped his hands with a clap.

“Oh, I forgot. come in!”

no, what is it Were there people standing outside?

Red hair sticking out into the room. Nasha was glaring at Ramyu with narrow eyes.

“… … Lamu.”

“sorry! Sometimes I come into the room and see my brother’s face and I lose my mind.”

“I know roughly what you mean.”

“Is not it?”

Nasha was led into the room by Ramu’s hand.

I didn’t seem to be aware of the previous contract yet, but I asked with a sorry heart.

“Would you like some tea?”

“Oh, no. I’ll be leaving soon.”

“What is it?”

“I called.”

Unexpectedly, the answer came from Baeller, who was sitting and drinking tea.

Baeller closed the book he was reading and put it in the bookshelf behind him.

“Are you a senior?”

“I am getting some help. Did you bring your medicine?”

“yes. But will you be all right? First of all, I tried it too, but I almost passed out with just one… … .”

“it’s okay. It feels familiar.”

After clearing the teacup, Baeller stood up.

By medicine, do you mean the medicine you made last time? Apart from my help, it seems that Baeller was also looking for a way to break through the blocked wall.

“let’s go.”

“yes.”

The guy who used to wait tick-tick for me, but there is no other lady in front of Baeller. Nasha chased after Baeller, who had left the room first.

Only Lamyu and I were left in the room.

“Today, the room is empty.”

“I know.”

Insolvency is quiet.

As if there was nothing to do, Ramyu was lying on the sofa with his upper body on the sofa, shaking his legs. I also finished my daily routine today with only the morning routine.

Coltman was in charge of external activities from now on, so there was relatively little room aside from preparing for the next episode.

“boring?”

“Um, I usually go to Jedo Island to shop on weekends. A lot of stores are closed, and money is running out… … .”

“Shall I tell your father? Money won’t be enough anymore.”

“Ah, it’s okay! Maybe that’s because I wrote too much! And because it’s so quiet. I came here wondering if I should monopolize my brother.”

“I’m a bit expensive.”

“Ugh, how much is it?”

You cheeky boy.

After tidying up the desk, I approached Ramyu, who was lying on the sofa. It is not a rare opportunity to be empty of bankruptcy.

“I’m not busy today, so borrow it.”

“Is that so? It’s okay.”

“Let’s get some fresh air.”

“Can I not sleep?”

“Who will come? Nothing expensive.”

I went out of business with Ramu.

I walked across the field and glanced back. Originally, my ears were sensitive, but I even deliberately checked it by spreading my magic power.

‘What are you so cautious about?’

It’s just going to hit you hard.

I thought I was dying from waiting. I had a bit of trouble deliberately making the lock on the drawer a little flimsy.

If you lock the drawer that Nael made, you can’t open it without breaking it. But if it’s not locked at all, you’ll be rather suspicious.

Anyway, I’ve been preparing for quite a while, so it feels like it’s finally coming.

It was also a big help that Hira and Ai-nim emptied the room at the right time.

“The weather is nice.”

“Because it is spring.”

It is late spring.

In the flower bed, various flowers are in full bloom, showing off their colorful colors.

Compared to this time last year when I was anxious all day for the midterm exam, I wonder if the situation has improved a little.

If you think of it as a condemned prisoner waiting for the day of execution, it doesn’t seem that different.

‘… … Rather.’

I’m also worried about those two.

I didn’t notice it when I always left it next to me, but after leaving it, the back of my head tickled.

Wouldn’t that be dangerous? If you put both of them at the level of magic, it doesn’t seem like you’re going to get hurt anywhere.

There won’t be anyone in the empire who doesn’t know about the golden hair of the imperial family, so there won’t be any trouble… … .

“You don’t have to worry.”

“yes?”

“Sisters.”

Poof, said Ramyu as he threw a pebble into the fountain.

The fountain was not rising, so a gentle ripple spread through it.

“Since I’m always thinking of you, it won’t be anything to worry about.”

“I wish I had.”

“Honestly, I am jealous. Guess I’m only one year older. If I had come to Summer Turge a year earlier, I would have been able to become close to my brother that much.”

“Even now, I don’t think we’re very awkward.”

“Haha, what do you know? Silly. foolish.”

Ramyu sighed and shook his head. The blatant gaze stings.

do you have any complaints

“Do you really not remember anything from the past? My brother is a genius.”

“You’re more normal than you think.”

“Even if it was eight years ago. Wasn’t my personality like this before?”

“How was it?”

“Oh my, I was very timid. can’t talk to anyone If you see someone, hide.”

“Well… … .”

“It’s not a lie.”

I couldn’t believe it when Ramyu, who seemed to have no strangers at all, said such a thing.

Wasn’t this the guy who jumped up and hugged me when I first met him in Jedo?

“I, my grandfather raised me after my parents died.”

That was something I knew.

Lamu, who lived in a mountain village, followed his grandfather to the market and was noticed by Coltman, who was inspecting it.

“My parents were in debt. I was beaten to death by debt collectors.”

“… … I see.”

“Originally, I was very shy, but after watching that in front of my eyes. I was busy running away when I saw anyone other than my grandfather.”

I didn’t know there.

It wasn’t that I didn’t have any parents. He just said that he followed his grandfather to the village.

“Grandpa must have had a hard time. Even though you are sick, you worked hard to feed me. It was my choice to go to the mansion.”

“It’s fortunate that there were few people in our mansion.”

“Right.”

There are few servants in the mansion of Tarum.

Since Coltman absolutely forbids unnecessary spending, it is much smaller than a typical count’s mansion, even if it is said to be a mansion. It is a setting that there are times when you do the cleaning yourself.

“To be honest, nothing much has changed since we were together. My brother played with me, but he didn’t talk much. It was when I went out that my personality changed a bit.”

“how?”

“I didn’t know when I was living in the mansion. I lived without making eye contact, so I thought everyone in the world looked like my older brother or the Count, right?”

“Can it be?”

I burst out laughing.

It is common knowledge that Rocktrin has a 10th level of charm, the highest recognized world view, and that appearance is hereditary. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have come this far.

“Later, I peeked at normal people’s faces, and suddenly burst into laughter.”

“why?”

“You are so ugly!”

As if remembering that time, Ramyu smiled with his eyes closed.

“What kind of squid is floating around, how can I hold back my laughter? Even if that person gets angry, I can’t stop laughing. They thought I was crazy and left.”

“If I had raised my fist in anger, it would have been a big deal.”

“Then would you like to be a little calmer? Anyway, from then on, I wasn’t afraid of people. And did you find out that I’m slightly cuter than the others?”

Ramyu once again threw a stone into the fountain. I threw it a little harder this time.

“Whoa, even then, I can’t intervene. Because the unnies seem to like my oppa ten times as much as I do.”

“Um, maybe?”

“There’s no way those older sisters would worry my older brother. They’re probably preparing a surprise present.”

“It’s a gift… … .”

After hearing the story, it seemed that my anxious mind had calmed down.

“So, I just need to kill time in moderation until I get back.”

“Yes, you are right.”

“Shall we take a nap in the clubroom?”

“I’m going to practice magic. Take some tutoring.”

“Nuee.”

Lamyu pouted, but he did not appear to dislike it.

it’s a surprise gift

I hope so.

If possible, a big one.
