Became the Golden Sun of the Academy

27 – Retreat (3)

Turb, tumble.

On the way back to the room after converting the chips won at the gambling hall into money.

It was a hallway with an identical door under a magical lamp that gave off a soft light, and an endless window on the other side.

The hallway was not very wide, so as we were walking in a single file, Adele opened her mouth with her head facing forward.

“So, are you satisfied now?”

She said she wanted Adele to rest, but she knew at least she didn’t mean it wholeheartedly.

She glanced back and saw Charlotte following through the blackened window in the dark night sky.

“I’m not sure what you mean.”

She erased her expression from her face and tilted her head in total disbelief.

“Are you thinking of making fun of it?”

It’s shameless to have fun like that.

It looks like he’s trying to hide the fact that he enjoyed it in the name of rest, but it’s been a long time since he’s been exposed.

“What fun is living if you live as if you have no feelings or desires?”

Should we say that we look to curb the desires we should have?

She has been closest to her since becoming Adele, but she has seen only a handful of human-like people, and usually only has a dry tone and clichéd attitude like a machine.

I don’t know if you consider that to be the aesthetics of a maid, but I think it’s better to reveal it a little more.

“It sounds obvious, but I also have feelings and hopes.”

Charlotte looked like he was saying something so obvious.

That was the response that Adele had bitten her bait.

“Oh? It’s the wind What is it?”

If she doesn’t feel anything right now, she just needs to bring out something in her that she should have.

If things turn out like this, she won’t be able to get off her chin like she did just a moment ago.

“That… ….”

Charlotte just opened her mouth in her embarrassed face, but she didn’t give a full answer.

“It’s difficult to tell… ….”

“Is it difficult to tell me? What, like my life?”

She pursed her lips as if displeased with Adele’s playful remark.

“No.”

She thought of asking more, but her Charlotte’s eyes narrowed and she was in no mood to do so.

As if to let her know that it wasn’t because of Adele’s prank, her gaze was over his shoulder and toward the dark hallway.

That moment.

Pot, pot, pot.

A magic light that suddenly flickers.

If it was just one thing, I would go ahead, but all the magic lights hanging from the ceiling in the hallway were flashing.

“… ….”

Adele stopped.

As if he had seen the future to see what would happen, he sighed and poured his magic into the ring.

“Have you lost your mind already after losing your old butler, Nikita Sylvester?”

Pod────

In an instant, all the magic lights flash blue sparks, and the taste wears off, and then the hallway becomes dark.

And.

──.

The curtains swayed silently.

A ray of blue moonlight came through.

A figure faintly visible at the end of a dark hallway.

A total of six people can be detected in Adele’s fairy tale stretching across the hallway…… No, a total of eight, including the one who was hung upside down from the ceiling like a ninja and the one who was grabbed by Adele’s hand as soon as he jumped in.

Anyway, I felt a spirit that was incomparable to the hunters I had met before.

“It’s good though.”

Adele twisted the neck she was holding with her right hand.

I tossed him back out the window with a thump and his head hanging like a puppet with his neck broken as his neck bones snapped.

Plunge——!

Water drops patter like rain with the sound of water.

This ruthless grip was obtained thanks to Adele’s assimilation with the ability of the man she had just strangled.

Of course, it was an eccentricity that would have been impossible before.

A big reason why assimilation was possible in the moment when flesh and skin touch each other is that his ability is simple, but other reasons were even bigger.

Uh uh uh

That’s the ring on his right hand.

It was the ring made with Raviel’s arrangement that he had obtained from the snowy mountain.

While the ring trembled, magic was flowing in reverse through the blood vessels.

Because the explosively increased mana filled his body, his mana was able to activate his attributes at that speed.

“Because I have a place to dispose of it out of sight.”

As if the assassins were united, they moved in unison.

They climbed the side walls, hung from the ceiling, ran upside down, and threw memorization at the same time.

Wedge liquid─

Several memorizations flying around Adele.

With one stomp of his foot, the raised floor blocked two amphibians.

The operation of the fairy tale was smooth as if it had been oiled.

It’s the first time I’ve used fairy tales in battle since wearing a ring, and I could definitely feel the difference between having them and not having them.

“And, as you said, it was good that we went together.”

He swung his fist as he read the trajectory of memorized words flying across the air of a fairy tale hallway.

Teddying!

Sparks flew three times in the air with a metallic sound, and the memorized machine that flew in rotated and stuck to the wall.

And the memorization that Adele failed to intercept was in the hands of Charlotte, who was standing next to him.

“Certainly, if I was alone, it would have been too much for me.”

It is safe to say that the skill of assassins would have been lost nine times out of ten if Adele had not obtained the ring.

It would be correct to say that Nikita, who hired them, properly assessed his skills and hired the right level.

However, Nikita failed because he did not know the ring and the variables called Charlotte.

“Don’t leave the back to me.”

Charlotte gave a concise answer and then disappeared in an instant.

Before she knew it, she was already on the way to get right in front of the guys who came from behind and blow one of them.

She seemed to just care about the guys in front of her.

Blame, blame, blame.

Those who started running at the same time as the memorization throw appeared in the dark.

A man wearing a black mask pulled out a sword from his bosom hidden by a cloak and threw it out.

Adele avoided the attack with a slight twist of her body, grabbed the guy’s wrist and threw it away with the guy following him.

At the same time, I made the walls soar, and they pierced my body using the momentum of their flight.

Kwajik!

The two assassins, who had holes in their chests, were dangling from the wall like skewers, pouring out blood.

Also, Adele gave in to the recoil when throwing them, and while spinning them, she fired a rounds kick at the one she couldn’t handle.

The whipped legs rushed at the assassin.

The bastard caught the attack through his mask, but couldn’t avoid it because of the speed already attached to his body.

f*ck!

The kick went in properly.

The head was dented like a dented tin can.

However, even after changing into that grotesque form, the assassin kept his legs on the ground to try to hold on, but it was only for a moment.

Boom!

Unable to withstand the shock, the assassin’s body floated up in the air, hit the wall in that state, and fell limp.

After taking care of the attackers in front, Adele looked back and saw that the attackers from behind had fallen in Charlotte’s hands.

The suppression ended in an instant.

They seemed to be careless, thinking that Adele’s eyes couldn’t adapt to the darkness, but Adele, who had activated Fairy Tale, had good vision, but only had it.

Since this fairytale space itself was Adele’s eyes and body.

Their plan failed at the point where they couldn’t quickly kill Adele while hiding in the dark.

“Answer me.”

As Adele stepped on the fallen man’s chest, I could see her eyes twisted in pain through the black mask.

“Are there other assassins hired by Nikita other than you?”

While clearly writhing in agony from a broken breastbone, the assassin answered madly like a madman.

“Why. Did you plan on stretching your feet and sleeping when we’re done?”

Adele’s eyebrows twitched.

“Then answer me. The number of assassins hired by the lady is in the hundreds or thousands.”

Speaking nonsense.

If I had any intention of negotiating with his life, I was going to blow up the information and deal with it, but the guy seemed to not care about his own life.

“I tremble in fear for the rest of my life thinking of the people driven to the streets by your words—”

Kwajik.

Before the assassin could stop talking, Adele trampled on his chest.

The bastard groaned and vomited dark red blood through his mask at the same time, but he didn’t care and poured out curse words.

“Let’s die…… A child like a dog…….”

As he slithered down the wall, he glared at Adele until he died, then dropped his head.

‘Nikita’s behavior is more extreme than expected. Was the loss of the former butler a bigger loss than I thought?’

As I cleared the window of the fallen assassins, Charlotte came over and handed me her handkerchief.

She said quietly as she wiped the blood from her hands.

“Anyway, until we catch the culprit, I think it would be better to stay together.”

“It certainly is.”

Adele nodded.

It’s hard to believe that he would have acted to divert power, but it was better to be prepared for the odds, as expectations could go wrong like today.

Besides, to be honest, it was quite scary that there was a guy who was targeting him, so it seemed impossible for him to sleep alone.

“Maybe we can stay together for a few days.”

About 3 days to reach the island.

The day is all gone, so we’ll just have to pass the remaining two days.

In the meantime, there should be no problem physically if you take turns staying vigilant.

“Then you should go back to pack your belongings in your room.”

In order to get to Charlotte’s room first, the two turned back the way they came.

Adele didn’t know where her room was, so she kind of followed her from behind, and her earlobes peeking through Charlotte’s hair seemed to be red.

* * *

“As expected, it’s too small for two people to live together.”

Adele’s impressions as she opened the door and entered the room.

Thanks to being an aristocrat, it was more spacious than other single rooms, but objectively it wasn’t big enough for two people to stay.

“First of all, I need to plan how I will spend my time considering the time to eat.”

Adele sat astride her bed and peered at her papers.

“Come in and make yourself comfortable.”

“Excuse me… ….”

Only then did Charlotte enter the room.

She put the suitcase she had brought next to Adele’s and sat down in the single chair across from Adele.

Adele was lost in her thoughts, so she put her hands on her lap and looked around her with her head raised like a meerkat.

Unlike the Heitz family’s mansion, the room is narrow.

I was nervous at the thought of having to spend two days with Adele in an unfamiliar environment.

It’s a master-servant relationship, but weren’t they male and female before that?

If you stay in such a small room for days, you might feel that way.

The moment you think so.

“Do you want to wash first?”

Charlotte’s shoulders trembled at the low sound that echoed through her quiet room.

It must have been something he said without thinking…… No, maybe not?

Just in case, Charlotte turned her head to look at Adele.

“… ….”

He is still lost in thought, looking at the paper he is holding in one hand.

That’s right.

It was a pointless idea and unnecessary tension.

Shaking off her thoughts, Charlotte, with her usual expressionless expression, got up quietly and headed to her bathroom.
