99 – Luden(6)

“Guy. Why are you running like that in a hurry?

“That means your friend wants to meet you.”

Orcus spat out an unreachable nagging at Noel, who had already disappeared. It is the appearance of an older brother who is always concerned about the safety of his younger sister.

Of course, from a realistic point of view, it is only right to worry about the person who will collide with her, not Noel, who has been strengthened by Aura and divine power and has durability that exceeds that of a reasonable tank.

what, what Noel wasn’t stupid enough to make such a mistake, and it was natural for him to prioritize blood as a family.

After escaping from Orcus’ guidance and walking toward Elena, unlike before, which was completely different from a science fair, food stalls and entertainment facilities that students would like to stop by now come into view.

Was it because of the taste of the guide?

It seems that this street was not as boring as I thought. I changed the (X) mark to (O) again on the score sheet in my mind and looked around.

At one of the stalls, you can see a machine that makes the candy you ate at Elena and Merrohim last time. Seeing this, I understood why her presence was felt in this area.

I bought each kind of candy written on the menu at the street stall, and after that, whenever I saw a snack that looked sweet around me, I started to take care of it one by one.

Orcus, who was well aware that I don’t eat sweets, looked at me strangely as I suddenly started buying sweet-looking snacks, and then approached me with an understanding face.

“You want to give all of that to Miss Elena? No matter how much she likes sweets, she probably won’t be able to eat all of that, so why not buy them in moderation?”

“It’s okay. This much.”

Orcus made a puzzled face at my answer.

I’ve never seen how much sweet Elena eats, so that’s what I’m talking about.

Of course, I had no intention of giving her everything I bought today at once. He says that he puts some kind of magic on it and it’s fine, but from the sidelines, he’s worried.

My mother-in-law also said she likes sweet things, so I just bought a little more with that in mind.

“But do you eat some sweets?”

“Well, I don’t like it very much, but I like it moderately. Why? You want one?”

Is it because it’s my first time seeing something like this? I picked out a piece of candy and handed it to Orcus, who was carefully examining the paper bag containing the snacks I bought.

It is none other than the colored candy that Elena ate in Merohim.

According to a later investigation, it has the downside of having the pigment intact in the mouth, but it is said that it is a popular product in the candy industry because it definitely contains the taste written on the candy.

Orcus would know that. Once you see the face, you don’t know for sure.

It’s not that he doesn’t like sweets too much, and even if he did, isn’t it rather strange that the prince, who is busy running state affairs, knows such trivial information?

Orcus looked at some of the items in the bag and eventually popped the apple-shaped lollipop I handed him to his mouth. If there was something I liked, I could talk about it, but maybe it’s because I said it was a gift for Elena, so it’s an atmosphere where I just accept it as it is given.

I mean, this guy is very caring.

At first, it looked like he didn’t know, but when he put it in his mouth, he seemed to like it.

Come to think of it, didn’t Noel like sweet things like Elena? I even thought of giving it to Noel, so I gave him a few more candies.

Orcus took one look at the clock tower and chewed the candy in his mouth to break it. Judging by the distorted face, it seemed that there was something sour inside.

“Uh, uhhhhh! Shire!!…What the hell did you put inside…So, have you met Altman Edelweiss?”

“No, it’s been almost 5 days since I came to Luden, and I haven’t even met a shadow. My mother-in-law said that she hasn’t come home since last week because she was immersed in her research. I’m in touch, but it seems like she does that very occasionally. .”

“I see. Well, it’s not that I don’t understand it as a wizard, but it’s still like that. It’s a little harsh that you don’t show your face even once when your sister and her fiancé came. Are you guys already being hated or something like that?”

“For useless words. I’m already hated for what I did. It’s been a while since I haven’t been in the house, so it’s probably not because of me. First of all, if you listen to your mother-in-law and Elena, you’ll see that Eltman is a human. I just can’t.”

“Uh huh. Don’t you know that a relative’s opinion can’t be any proof.”

The guy who knows that makes the person who will be brother-in-law investigate the brother-in-law.

When I looked at it with a puzzled look, Orcus passed it over with his signature smirk and continued.

“Well, I also have ears to hear. If you look at the reputation of the Mage Tower, they spent most of their time in the lab or otherwise only appeared in the Mage Tower library. I think they seem like research enthusiasts who have no interest in anything other than their field, but this year As long as we find out why he left Luden in the beginning, there will probably be no problem.”

“Why would a nobleman with a lot of money apply for research funds in this country? It’s annoying.”

Orcus tried to console me by telling me not to worry too much, but in fact I wasn’t as worried about Eltman as he thought.

I don’t know anything about where Eltman went earlier this year or why he applied for research funding, but I can say for sure that he has no connection to the heretics. As Orcus said, he was a simple research fanatic. It’s just that it’s a little uncomfortable that the name of a person related to Elena comes up in this topic.

If you don’t want to do it, you have to go to the lab or go.

***

After joining Elena, we tore to our separate homes as promised.

Noel seemed to want to play more after meeting Elena, but there was not much time left for the two of them to do so.

From what I’ve heard, it seems that today’s outing was given permission in a very narrow way.

It is said that this outing is the first time outside the imperial castle since returning from the south, so it is not that I do not understand the desire to be outside a little longer.

The situation has stabilized a lot now, but just a few months ago, it was Luden that was noisy with pagan-related issues. In such a situation, the fact that the royal family stays for a long time in a place other than the imperial castle is not without anxiety.

In the first place, to meet the imperial family, Elena and I had to go to the imperial castle, and it was unusual for the imperial family to come out to keep their promise like this.

It’s me, I called because Orcus told me to call it when it comes, but in any case, it means that the current situation is not normal.

“Brother. Shouldn’t we contact Hwangseong and tell them that we will be staying at the Edelweiss Villa today? That, the street is also very close to Hwangseong…”

“No. No matter how close the Edelweiss family’s villa is to the imperial castle, it is eventually outside. Even if you contact them, your father won’t allow it, and it’s against etiquette to suddenly come in at such a late hour without any promise. Noel, before you enter the academy. You don’t want to be banned.”

Noel tantrums a little at the end, but when Orcus even brings up the topic of curfew, he quickly lowers his tail.

Anyway, after Noel and Orcus return to the imperial castle.

Although we didn’t have restrictions on going out like the two of us, we decided to go back to the mansion for the evening time soon.

Even if it wasn’t for that, he couldn’t leave Adelia alone this time, who was feeling lonely because Eltman didn’t come home.

She said she would return to Merrohim after Elena and I entered the school, so wasting the little time left on other things wasn’t a good idea considering my relationship with her in the future. When you can spend the same amount of time, you should make the best impression possible.

“Oh, everyone went out to play, so I thought you’d come to eat outside, but everyone came back early.”

As expected, Adelia seemed very happy to see us back before dinner.

But later, when I saw another person sitting at the banquet hall, I realized that her feelings weren’t just that we weren’t late for dinner.

I heard that even a tiger will come when I say it.

Eltman Edelweiss, who showed no sign of coming to the villa no matter how long he waited.

He was a passenger who had arrived at the banquet ahead of us.
