chapter 7
Entering the Academy – 2
Due to the combination of the wagon that Carl has been riding for a long time and the sh*tty road conditions, he is in danger of being forced to check what he ate, and the sympathy that does not know that By the time I was breaking out in a cold sweat and guiding the knife. Around the time the sun rose in the morning, it was time for the students to open their eyes one by one to go to the academy.
Outside, people open shops or move around for their livelihoods, while inside, students prepare to receive education. The day at the huge academy has begun.
The sunlight coming through the curtains tickles the girl’s face. She turns her head around to see if it bothers her, but she eventually gives up and opens her eyes. This sunlight was like an alarm that let the girl wake up.
She was a girl curled up in a white blanket, rolled over and she got out of the blanket, and she suddenly shuddered at the cold air hitting her body. It was a morning in mid-March, about ten days after her entrance ceremony, and the weather had yet to completely clear up.
“Huh~”
Rather, the girl who was lying down carefully raised her body and stretched her body, as if the sudden chill had definitely woken her up. She still has time for class, but if she moves too slowly, the time will pass in a flash.
In these ten days, she has already been so late for two times, so she should be more careful. Quickly but surely, the girl, who had adorned herself, checked her reflection in the vanity mirror one last time and rose from her seat with a satisfied nod.
“Today too, fighting!”
A girl has a liveliness that is difficult for others to dare to look straight at, and that is difficult to befriend. Quite a lot.
“Heheheung, heheheung♪”
It doesn’t sound like a hum, but the person hums something that claims to be her hum, and the girl moves her steps lightly. Her long pink hair, which moved back and forth as she walked, looked like cherry blossom petals that had bloomed prematurely. Her sparkling eyes were the color of an immaculate clear blue, as if they contained a cloudless sky.
Passers-by who turned around at the mysterious sound would nod their heads at her and admit that they had heard her hum. Because the completion of a hum song is a face.
“Louise!”
The pink-haired girl humming her tune, her voice calling her Louise, turned her back and smiled broadly when she saw who was calling her.
“Irina!”
Louise ran to Irina and crossed her arms, as if she had dramatically reunited with her long-lost friend. Of course, the two of them had dinner together last night, let alone for a long time. Anyway, the two close friends got together and the movement speed was reduced to 1/2, and after that, the party gradually increased.
When someone passed by and called for Louise, Louise greeted her and invited her to join her group. So 1/3, 1/4, 1/5. Louise’s movement speed gradually decreased as if she was directly passing through a floor with a speed reduction debuff. But what about it, none of the five who suffered a reduction in group transfer was dissatisfied with it. If it’s for friendship… Wouldn’t it be right to risk being late?
“Then I’ll be late. Wasn’t it dangerous yesterday too?”
Still, because Louise had a shield to prevent her from being late, she was able to endure without being late.
“Ah, Erich! Good morning!”
“Yes. Good morning.”
After talking to Louise, Erich smiled and accepted her greeting. And when she naturally approached Louise, Irina, who was closest to Louise, secretly made a place for herself. Erich smiles shyly at that consideration, but sneaks up next to Louise, as if he has no intention of refusing.
Irina and her three girls, who were observing the scene up close, whispered among themselves and giggled. Her original love affair is a fierce battle, but isn’t her love affair with others fun to watch as much as Byeonggyeong across the river? Unfortunately, it’s not love yet, it’s one-sided interest, but sometimes it’s more worth watching.
In order to turn a one-sided interest into a two-way one, Erich will have to work hard, but viewers don’t have to worry about that. A person in need will do it himself.
The party eventually grew to six. However, Erich could move at a faster speed than before, as if he had a movement speed increase buff. In the meantime, the frequency of conversations did not decrease, but rather increased, if it was an ability, it must be an ability.
“Erich got gray.”
“It shouldn’t happen already.”
“It’s a lie. Actually, it’s just a thread.”
Louisé, who removed a single strand of white thread from Erich’s black hair, blew it away in the wind with a smile. Irina, who looked away to protect Erich’s little pride, whose face was slowly turning red, tilted her head while looking at the direction the thread was flying in the wind.
“Who is that person?”
She said that and her gaze turned to Irina, and she knew that Irina was looking at someone and she looked that way.
“So? You’re not a student, you’re not a faculty member?”
“That’s strange. Are you an outsider?”
“Can outsiders come in at this time?”
I am not a student because I do not have a school uniform, and I am not a faculty member because I do not have a blue cape. The moment her question spread, Erich, who had barely calmed her blushing face, turned her gaze to where Irina had been looking at her.
“Huh…?”
Erich, who had narrowed his eyes at the distance where she could barely see her face, confirmed the identity of the unknown outsider and let out a voice brimming with bewilderment. Her opponent also started to approach Erich with strides, probably seeing Erich’s face.
“Erich. Do you know someone?”
It seemed that they recognized each other’s faces, so Louise asked Erich. Erich reacted as if he knew that person, and when that person saw Erich, she immediately approached.
Erich was unable to answer even when Louise asked. She was obviously the one she knew, but he was also the one who couldn’t be here. There’s no way there’s anyone in this distant academy complaining about not having enough time to go home? The shock of a person who saw a person who shouldn’t be there was not easily dealt with.
Meanwhile, the unknown person came right in front of her and stopped, looked at Erich and said.
“It’s been a while. How have you been?”
***
I crossed the climax and barely managed to find a bathroom before the forced disclosure of the ending. I’d rather pour it out, and the speed has calmed down a lot. I really haven’t heard of being weak anywhere, but why are you like this?
Recently, I’ve been confined to my office for a long time, thanks to that, it’s been a long time since I haven’t been in the sunlight, and I’ve been riding in a carriage for a long time. I had to eat in that state, so I forced myself to eat even though I felt strange.
Well, that’s reason enough.
After self-reflection, I went outside the main building and looked around the inside of the academy. Like it or hate it… No, I f*cking hate it, but now I have to stay at this academy for a few months. The academy isn’t usually large, so you need to figure out the structure.
How disrespectful it is to get lost when you have to go somewhere because of an urgent matter. Perhaps somehow, the news will reach the Minister’s ears and be thrown around. It’s the director of the inspection department who can’t even find the way. Even though I just imagined it, it makes me angry just like I heard it.
I swept my hair up and moved to the building that seemed closest to the main building. It’s like this in my imagination, but it’s even worse when I actually hear it. I couldn’t afford such a future, so I wanted to figure out the structure as quickly as possible. It would have been perfect if the students’ arrival times hadn’t overlapped when they were in full swing.
‘What should I do?’
I can hear students whispering as they pass by. Hey, it would be a natural reaction to suddenly see an outsider. In the end, during school hours, I turned my feet back to the main building to stay stuck in the main building without students, and then I saw an impressive sight.
“What is that lump?”
A mass of six people, when at most two or three gather together. Even the sex ratio collapsed catastrophically. 1:5 Rani, no matter who the man is, he’s amazing…
‘But that’s my sister.’
What a dog. The older brother is suffering, but the younger brother enjoys the older brother’s lifelong wish casually and goes on a date. It’s more reprehensible than Section 2. Erich’s expression hardened, as if he had recognized him as well. OK, let’s go rob.
I walked toward Erich with lighter steps. The closer I get, the more my pupils tremble. Strangely, he has been intimidated in front of me since before. I didn’t bother or did anything.
“It’s been a while. How have you been?”
“Uh, uh. What about you?”
“It was the same as usual.”
The words “I’m not okay all the time” Rose to the top of her throat, but since there are many eyes and ears near her, she decided to keep them in her heart. It’s embarrassing to lament the life of a civil servant in front of students you’ve never seen before.
As I turned my gaze toward the five huddled together, I bowed my head awkwardly. She would have just learned from conversation that he was her friend’s older brother. However, one person who did not feel particularly awkward came out.
“Hello! Are you Erich?”
A friend with a lot of tension jumped out to think it was a courtesy greeting. If this were a cartoon, I wonder if the sound effect of “Twinkle next to the eye” Would be written.
Blue eyes, pink hair, high tension. It is a style that will attract attention wherever you go.
…
…?
But why is it strangely familiar when I see it for the first time?
I looked at the pink hair that came forward with a subtle sense of déjà vu. Pink… Blue… There’s something reminiscent of it, but it’s vague. Have you ever had a picture on the list you saw while working?
“Yes. My name is Karl Krasius. Are you Erich’s friend?”
It is a common etiquette to reveal your name as well if the other person revealed his/her name first. If you can’t remember who it is, it’s enough to hear the name. At least if you hear the family name, you’ll be able to guess where you saw it.
“Yes, my name is Louise, Erich’s friend. Louise Naird!”
“I see.”
‘f*ck’
The body nodded calmly, but the head went into emergency.
When I heard the name, I remembered it. Louise of Baron Nayard. Pink hair and blue eyes. A human capybara who drags people around like a piper. No, is it human catnip? In any case, she receives people’s affection for her appearance and personality.
‘He’s the main character.’
I glanced at Erich next to me. Even though her body stiffened with tension, her eyes were still on Louise. And a strangely reminded ball. Like a dog
“It wasn’t four, it was five…”
“Yes?”
“No. Nothing.”
What I said inside came out of my mouth. No, it’s a good thing.
My eyes filled with subtle sadness turned to Erich again. Erich, who was stared at directly, flinched, but I couldn’t bear to look away.
‘Poor bastard. You are the weakest.’
One prince, two princes, and one potential saint candidate. There is a difference in status, but it is a difference that can compete with each other on an equal footing in the academy. By the way, the second son of the Imperial Count in that lineup? Oh, that’s a bit
I patted Erich on the shoulder with affection. To comfort my younger brother, who was clearly about to lose before he even stood on the starting line.
On the first day of dispatch to the academy, I met the main character of the original work. Even as a friend of my brother.
Even ‘we want to remain good friends.’ Between friends who seem to have a strong ending.
