Episode 40

Steps leaving the auditorium were heavy.

“Uh.”

The voice is sharp.

The lecture, which was scheduled for two hours, started in three hours. From next time, Q&A should also be included in the lecture time.

The more smart people there are, the more passionate students there are, and it’s exhausting to have more than 20 questions.

I think I know why professors ran away without being questioned at the end of class.

“Locks.”

I was just coming out of the exit when my name was called.

I was surprised to see if it was another question, but fortunately it was a familiar voice.

“Were you waiting?”

During lectures, we met eyes several times.

Hira was almost in the back row. It’s not easy to find the seat side because the lighting is weak, but it was strangely conspicuous.

“All the professors were busy leaving, so it looked like there was no one to talk to.”

“What do you mean?”

“Good work, lecture.”

“ah.”

I was sorry about something, but that was it.

“right. I worked hard.”

I thought I was a bit friendly with the students. I don’t hate it so much when I see the guys I’ve been keeping an eye on ran towards the practice room.

But professors do. They say that learning is useless, but they keep burning their passion at a late age. It was because of that passion that I was able to become a professor at Somerset.

I want people to know what I’m working hard on, but it’s greedy, but it’s obvious. give me a compliment

“You didn’t say a word that you did a good job.”

The students don’t know that this kind of lecture is difficult, but the professors should know… … .

“Wasn’t that one thing enough?”

Hira asked with a glance looking up. I’m sick of it. How do you answer that it is not enough? I said with a smile.

“Nope. That’s enough. I was moved.”

“Yes?”

“thank you.”

“Thank you, um. By any chance, Rox, are you busy right now?”

Hira replied as if she had been waiting.

what. It’s unmatched to win. He must have been planning something.

“I’m not busy… … .”

There was not much time left to use the magic core in the Professor’s Research Building. In the meantime, I was thinking of pulling out the main exhibition as much as possible. Above all, all the bedding and books to study are there.

I wouldn’t even dream of aiming for magic level 5. Still, wouldn’t it increase one or two decimal points that are not visible in the status?

“Do you want to go outside?”

“Out? Where?”

“Out of Summer Turge.”

Hira quietly raised her finger and pointed towards the front door. Out of Summer Turge?

“Looks like The Rocks are always in Summer Turge, even on the weekends.”

“Aren’t there fewer people going out?”

“That’s true, but have you ever left after entering school?”

“No.”

In fact, I only went out once.

When secretly hiring mercenaries. In order to hide that the mail was from inside Summer Turge, he ran hard to the nearby village.

I didn’t think it was a very good idea to mention it, so I just said no.

“Summer Turge has a lot of things, but the essence is an academy.”

“Finals are coming soon, will you be okay?”

“Ah, am I studying hard when Rox isn’t watching?”

“Then I’m glad.”

Hagiya Hira is in Class B, and even in Class B, it is high enough. Magic wasn’t very good, so the practical test score probably wasn’t high, which means that the notes were good.

Yes, magic power that doesn’t rise at all. It’s frustrating, so I guess I can go for a walk.

“I have a horse-drawn carriage ready.”

“Oh yeah… … ? How far are you going?”

“Is it even the system?”

“You are going far.”

It’s not a walk, it’s a trip?

Of course, the roads from Summer Turge to Jejedo are very well-maintained, and the horse-drawn carriages reach a certain speed per hour, so you can arrive at Jejedo in an hour. It’s close enough that you can look down from the tower on a clear day.

It’s not even close.

“It won’t be as comfortable as Aindar Locke.”

“Is our family that comfortable?”

“sure. Because it was handcrafted by Nael Aindarok.”

Five… …

Neil Aindarroch.

Who is it? A strange guy you’ve never heard of anywhere is wearing an Aindarlock.

I got into the car first and pulled Hira’s hand up. When it comes to wagons, I only set things like manners.

“Neil was famous.”

“yes? Oh, maybe it doesn’t touch Rox. Because they are cousins.”

Booung. The mana engine began to move with a sound. It wasn’t until I heard that they were cousins that I got a clue.

Coltman Aindarok has a younger sister. It’s like an aunt to Roxtrin, but it’s been a long time since she ran out of the family because she was scolded by the previous head of the family for not being good at magic in Aindarok, a famous magic house.

Neil seems to be the child.

“He is known as a magical engineer of the century, but it is surprising that his magic is only 2-star.”

“Because you need magic, not magic.”

Sorcery is a variety of tools that are spread throughout this world view, such as speakers that are open to campus, magic lights, and shower heads.

Things close to such modern civilization were merely put together, saying that they were somehow made with magic.

Therefore, I have no knowledge in that area.

“Hmm, now I see that Aindarok is full of great people.”

“My father and Neil are definitely like that.”

“The Rocks are the best in my opinion.”

“I?”

“Doesn’t everyone think so?”

I tried to look like that, so it worked out.

Then it would be nice if you knew that it was like that all the time, but sometimes I think that it would be nice if one or two people would know.

“I’m more normal than I thought.”

“Rox is terrifying in that ordinary part. It seems to be far up there, but if you look closely, there are stairs.”

“I don’t know. What do you mean, that?”

“Huh, there is something like that.”

Hira smiled helplessly.

It would be fun to talk for an hour, but Hira took care of me when I was tired from the lecture. I was able to calmly enjoy the view outside for a while.

“Good.”

After coming down from the mountain, the scenery outside the car window flows leisurely.

Compared to modern cars, horse-drawn vehicles are not fast. It doesn’t come out fast enough to swipe past. that’s good

In early summer, green is lush everywhere. The rustling leaves and waving wheat fields are all captured in the eye. Peace of mind that cannot be found in the irregularly sprawling city.

It was too far to go in person, so I used to look up pictures of wheat fields in Prague or the Palouse.

“The Rocks are the only ones who like the wheat fields they see every day.”

“Because it is a precious scenery to me.”

This would make sense even if it was a rocktrin.

Aindarok is wide and has wheat fields, but Tarum, where the fortress is located, is a mountainous area leaning towards the north. It would be hard to see a field of wheat, much less a horizon like this.

“Oh, I wanted to try that.”

“Which one?”

“Mercenaries sometimes climb on top of the wagon roof if there are no seats.”

It would be much better than looking through the car window. As I muttered that, Hira, who was listening next to me, tilted her head and asked.

“Can I open it?”

“uh?”

“Wait.”

Hira said something to the employee sitting in the driver’s seat, and soon a large hole was opened in the ceiling of the carriage.

Was this an open car?

“Because a lot of people like it.”

Come to think of it, Yuxilla’s horse-drawn carriage was quite high-end, too. Something like a simple ladder protruded from under the seat.

I quickly climbed the ladder. There was no dust even on the roof if it was well maintained.

“Ohhh!”

Admiration came out of nowhere. All sides were open.

Freedom that cannot be felt with only the legs, a fresh sense of liberation that has only been imagined in the face of daily life.

“pooh. It’s like a child, Rox.”

“No, it is fun. Come up too.”

“Maybe? It’s my first time too.”

Hirado soon climbed up the ladder.

The seats were narrower than the seats, so they were almost side by side. Still, I wasn’t worried because there was a handle.

“You didn’t see this uploaded?”

“Rocks, it is said that it is not polite for a girl to go up in a place like this. It is also scary.”

“I guess that kind of person is my taste.”

“Huh, I’ll try.”

Seen from above, it is quite speedy.

It rattles from time to time, so Hira was holding onto the handle tightly with the momentum to break it. That’s right, strength is level 1.

There was no need to look around intently. The surroundings are all similar. The clouds follow, and the clear sky meets the ground in the distance.

“Muaaa.”

“What is that?”

“This is fun.”

If you open your mouth, the air that passes by is stuffy but cool. The wind blew, and the hair was blown away.

It seemed that he hesitated several times, but in the end Hirado was hit by the wind with his mouth open. Then, when our eyes met, I burst into laughter because I was embarrassed.

“Hair, I’ve been touching it hard.”

“I didn’t pay attention to that.”

“it’s okay.”

Hirana and Nana were blown by that much wind, so their hair quickly became scattered. The bangs were pulled back, revealing the forehead.

Someone said you look ugly when you cover your forehead, but that’s all a lie.

“You can touch your head again. And I don’t think Rocks is looking at me that hard.”

“I’m a bit sorry to say that.”

“Never mind. I am self-satisfied.”

“Men are like that. I don’t know what changed. Other than the hairpin, I don’t know.”

“yes? that’s it… … .”

Hira was confused and messed with her hair.

“I only changed one hairpin… … ?”

Before, there was something like a large pearl in it, but the one I put in now has a flower shape, so it has a more modest design.

“What, then you got it right.”

“Even in the auditorium, our eyes met four times, and everyone said it was hard to find me if I was among other kids. It was the same in the social church. My mother is the only one looking for me… … .”

It’s hair that looks like normal brown when the surroundings are dark. There is a point.

Hira, who was talking gibberish, hastily came to a conclusion.

“Ah, anyway, Rocks was watching intently! Sorry.”

“I’m going to apologize… … .”

“What?”

Poof!

A short scream leaked out. It was because I, who was looking ahead, hurriedly pulled and pressed the back of Hira’s head.

“Why, why, why?”

“There are branches.”

A shadow swept past him beneath him. The road through which the wagons pass should be maintained so that trees do not grow on top, but it seems that they have not been able to get rid of it.

Surprised, Hira was holding onto my leg, not the handle.

“I will tell you when I get to Jedo. Shall we go down?”

“Yeah… … .”

I jumped down first and accepted Hira as she came down. Almost an hour had passed and the system came into view.

Outside of Summer Turge is not mentioned in detail in the game, so it is expected.

“But have you decided what to do?”

“Huh… … Yes Yes. You rarely eat at Rocks or Jinridang these days.”

“It doesn’t.”

It’s even more so since I stayed in the Professor’s Research Building. I wore the honorary professor’s medal, but I’m too lazy to use the professor’s cafeteria.

Going up to the tower and using the student cafeteria is a waste of traffic. So, lately, I have been eating bread or cookies from the store. I used to use it once or twice to eat ramen from time to time.

“Because Rocks always seems tired.”

“Nope. I’m fine.”

“You can see it up close. It’s even more like that now that my hair is like that.”

Even after entering the island, he moved by car.

The outskirts have pointed roofs painted with various dyes, and a leisurely lunch and the smell of life wafting from the streets are pleasant.

“People are following me.”

“Imperial welfare budget comes in our name. It has a lot to do with it.”

Within the system, Yuxilla’s prestige was comparable to that of Aindarok in the north, and in the midst of that, everyone seemed to bow their heads.

It is only at times like this that I realize that I am an aristocrat.

“Anyway, the important thing is the Rocks.”

“me?”

“The truth party food is not lacking, but I hope Rocks can cheer up. I have reserved a famous shop among the nobility of the islands.”

“What do you want to sell?”

Although the political families are fierce, they enjoy a commensurate standard of living.

What did they serve to those who grew up without a lack of food, clothing, and shelter, being treated with delicacies from exclusive chefs at every meal, so that they could become famous?

Hira said it confidently, but it felt a bit out of place.

“Health food.”

This world is too wide.

There is everything.
