Became an Academy Spearman

898. [Western Front] – Ariya’s Third Demand (173)

***

I didn’t understand at first.

What on earth happened and what happened to me?

And as a little time passed and I began to see the infinite night unfolding before my eyes, I could not understand ‘anymore’.

“… “What is this?”

What is it?

I mumble absently and look around.

A vast grassland spreads out.

And you can see the night sky with countless stars.

A night sky with a very special and dreamy atmosphere seen in this world.

A car that once again took in the beautiful night sky.

“How do you think, pretty?”

“… … “Ariya.”

I immediately burst out laughing at the voice I heard next to me.

When I naturally turned my head to the source of the sound, she was looking at me with her characteristic mischievous smile.

“You are truly blessed. There will be less than ten beings who have been able to enter this space before and in the future.”

Aria, smiling brightly, was next to me through the hem of her pure white robe.

And at a distance so close that our breaths can touch each other.

However, regardless of that, I decided to ask first.

“So where are we?”

“My world.”

“… … ?”

When I looked at her as if I couldn’t understand, Ariya burst out laughing.

And then he gently spread both his hands.

It was as if he was trying to wrap his arms around the vast grassland.

“This is private land where only I can enter, and an area that can only be called my space. So, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is my world.”

“In short, you’re saying it’s Ariya’s space?”

“Yes, you are in my space.”

“… … “I didn’t know that Ariya, who would be at the Central Magic Tower, would bring me here from such a distance.”

In other words, it felt new to me that we could meet at any time like this.

‘Then the Lucent medicine… … .’

I guess you didn’t need to take the time to send it to me.

We can meet in person like this.

“I can read all your thoughts, but it seems like you have very arrogant thoughts?”

“… … “Me?”

When I paused and answered, she smiled and raised the corners of her mouth.

In the pitch black night, pure white silver hair contrasts dazzlingly.

And when we finally met again, her smile strangely caught my attention.

“Okay, what are you thinking that we can meet sooner or later?”

“Honestly, yes.”

I didn’t deny it.

And as if she knew how I felt, Ariya poked my arm.

“It may feel like magic that I am performing these mysteries, but it is not magic. “I created a kind of ‘surreal’ using my unique characteristics.”

“… … “Isn’t that magic?”

That’s what I feel, but Ariya shook her head strongly as if it was nonsense.

“It’s completely different. By using the distance between you and me and the crystal ball as a medium, I invited you into a space that only I can enter. Do you think this surreal reality can be dismissed as simple magic? “Even long-distance teleportation is a high magic among high magic?”

Her voice was so powerful that I felt like I had touched something, even though I didn’t know what it was.

“Now that I think about it, it seems a little different. Ahaha… … .”

“Yeah, it’s a lot different. That means it’s rare to invite someone to my space like this. So, you can be proud of being in this space. “Because you have been invited to the magic tower’s unique space.”

Even though I didn’t understand what she said, I found it fascinating.

The fact that I, who should be in a barracks on the Western Front, exist in an open space like this for a moment is not at all ordinary.

“Anyway, I think it would be quicker to show the last request in person rather than say it. And because your growth is amazing, I invited you to my space like this.”

“… … yes. I understood. So what are the conditions?”

The last condition Ariya would ask for.

Considering that the first and second conditions had been quite difficult, I felt nervous for no reason, unlike the ease I felt in the open grassland.

“Hmm… … Are you feeling nervous now? “Because you don’t know what I’m going to ask?”

Looking at her smiling mischievously, I neither confirmed nor denied it. I just looked calmly.

She said it was an easy request, but I have no faith in whether that request is really an easy request.

Sreuk.

And at that time, Ariya naturally held my hand.

“First of all, Anastasia said she feels close to you, right?”

“… … “I think I said it was intimacy, but there is a clear line.”

As I wondered why she was holding my hand, she gently moved my hand.

My eyes naturally followed her actions.

Tuk.

I couldn’t understand the sudden hand gesture.

No, more accurately, I felt like I would become strange if I understood this.

“What kind of action is this?”

Even though I asked carefully, my hands became stiff for a moment.

It felt like if I lifted even one finger, something very strange would unfold. So, without realizing it, I started focusing on my senses.

Excited.

Exciting… … .

However, the heartbeat felt through the heart touched by my hand was very clear.

“… … .”

Even as I swallowed, my eyes focused on my hand touching her chest.

And Ariya, who showed strange behavior, just smiled strangely without saying anything. It was as if he wanted to see my reaction in his eyes.

“Can you feel it?”

“… … Yes, I can feel it. however.”

“Don’t move your hands, just stay still.”

Seeing her speaking so innocently, I was already putting those words into practice.

Because I don’t think she led my hand to her breast out of selfish or ulterior motives.

Above all, Ariya’s unique strange eyes said that to me.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Time passed in such a strange atmosphere.

As I placed my hand on her chest, I could clearly feel the slight rise and fall of her chest with her heartbeat.

Even though it was beyond the clothes, that didn’t mean I couldn’t feel the feel of flesh.

Tuk.

And suddenly she took my hand away from her chest.

“You can do the same.”

“The same thing, am I saying this to Major Anastasia?”

As I asked again without realizing it, Ariya was grinning.

When I saw that, my mind seemed to turn completely white for a moment.

‘no.’

In my experience, it probably lasted about 10 minutes. And in the meantime, I looked at Ariya, paying attention to her eyes and words and actions.

… … Because it felt really strange.

Even though I knew that Ariya had no interest in me, I couldn’t help but be more conscious of her behavior towards me.

That’s right, this action is full of strong meaning enough to make me think of her as a member of the opposite s*x.

“then. You should do it to Anastasia. Well, on the other hand, you can make Anastasia do this to you.”

He said it lightly as if it was nothing, but I shook my head without realizing it.

“… … “No matter what.”

“Anyway, what?”

I was momentarily speechless when I heard the horse holding the pod.

After all, this was a kind of Gabulgi.

“… … .”

Ariya suddenly looked up at me innocently, looking at me as if telling me to say something.

Are you excited?

Did I have any other thoughts about his actions now?

… … If it’s not, it’s not, and if it’s true, it would be a very strange statement.

“Why can’t I do it? So, can you give me another suggestion? But wouldn’t this be harder to do?”

Seeing her smiling like a devil, I hesitated with my lips.

‘I think I’ll make it more difficult.’

That too was 100%.

If I say I can’t do this, Ariya will make me do something that will get me in more trouble.

“… No, I will. “Yes, I will.”

“Good idea. I thought you were rejecting me again. “I almost felt a little disappointed with how much I’ve done for you so far, right?”

Seeing Ariya smiling softly, I also smiled awkwardly.

… … There were times when I thought it was good will or favor without compensation, but in reality, it really was not without compensation.

‘Because Ariya is Ariya.’

Of course, even taking that into account, what she showed me could definitely be called a huge favor and goodwill.

Even now, this is probably nothing more than some kind of prank or petty venting of her anger on me.

So, I had to fit in.

“It will only take 10 minutes, right?”

“Yes, that would be appropriate. “You’re meeting Anastasia tomorrow too, right?”

“yes. Right… … “Yes.”

“I’ll give you a special reprieve, even the sand. Because if you tell me to do it tomorrow, it can be a burden. Anyway, the problem is that I’m too nice?”

She laughed, twirling her silver hair, but her eyes never left my expression for a single moment.

… … So I burst out laughing.

“I really appreciate those words.”

“Well, the magic tower lord has rarely been this kind to me.”

Seeing her not saying a word, I also nodded. And I felt some sense of resistance.

‘Something… … .’

It was a little unfair.

I know Ariya is playing with me, but I just have to face it.

Even now, I wanted to make Ariya, who was smiling like a goblin and not a high elf, a little bit of a problem.

“Ariya.”

“huh. why?”

I smiled softly as she seemed to really like my compliance and my troubled and helpless reaction.

“To be honest, I was a little excited.”

“… Oh, really?”

Seeing her pause for a moment, I gently brought the hand she was holding to my heart.

Excited.

And, conscious of the distinctly different beats of Ariya’s heart and mine, I intentionally let out a light breath.

It’s as if she’s lost in lingering thoughts about what she did.

“… So, I hope you will be careful from now on. “I might have selfish interests without even knowing it.”

Even though I say it with my own mouth… … .

It really felt like my hands and feet were all shriveled up.

Nevertheless, I struggled to look at Ariya and strangely rolled my eyes.

‘It’s called Yeokjisaji.’

In short, I wanted you to experience it too.

What I meant was that I wanted her to realize that if she wanted to get me into trouble like this, she might get into trouble herself… … .

Perfect!

Suddenly, Ariya flicked her hand and the world suddenly changed.

“… … !”

The moment I opened my eyes in a strange illusion where space seemed to be swirling, I found myself staggering around without realizing it.

And before I knew it, I was back.

In my own space in the barracks, where I should be.

“no… … .”

Even as I opened my mouth in a daze, my heart immediately skipped a beat.

… … In the split second where Ariya disappeared, I saw it.

Ariya’s eyes seemed strangely clouded for a moment.

But I couldn’t tell if it meant something good or bad, or even if I was in trouble.

Because it was such a complex expression.

“Was it something you didn’t want to hear that much?”

Without realizing it, I touched my arm.

Well, even I felt like my skin was growing as I joked about it.
