Dear My Knight

3. Ashera Glade & Chersha Kalua (11)

***

The eastern part of the continent. Alcea Nursery.

“Ai, do you really want to keep doing that?”

“What~ I didn’t do anything.”

“You kept touching my arm. Why are you pretending not to be?”

“Oh, I didn’t!”

The two children started talking at each other as if they were bickering, and then, as if speechless, the boy, who was stuttering, suddenly moved her body as if to run away, and the girl followed the boy with an angry expression. Was chasing

“….”

A girl was just staring blankly at the appearance of those two children in the parlor for guests in the Alcaa Nursery School.

Despite the obvious distance, the children’s voices continued to chatter clearly reached his ears.

“Already… Eight years.”

He opens his mouth in a small voice.

As if she was just trying to get out of her girlish look, she was a girl whose appearance was suitable for the word beauty. Just as a flower full of water expresses the fresh vitality of its surroundings. The girl’s beauty seemed to be in full bloom, brightening up her surroundings.

However, she still retains the face of a girl.

Long wavy blonde hair down to her waist. The gray hair between them seemed to attract more attention, rather like a singularity.

What is the name of that girl?

Chersha Kalua.

It was the name of a mage whose name was already well-known as the next mage master of the Eastern Mage Tower, and even in the Chaldean Empire, which had a vast territory, it was one of the figures that must be mentioned when mentioning the names of a few people with particularly brilliant talents. It was people.

He was also the only child of ‘Gria Kalua’, the lord of the magic tower in the eastern region, and a wizard who reached the 5th level at the young age of only 17 years old. It was an unprecedented record that had no history in the entire Mage Tower, so each and every trivial move of Chersha was spread to the extent that rumors spread throughout the East as well as among wizards.

And Chersha, who is the party to such rumors, is the afternoon of a golden weekend.

She was located in the Arkea Nursery School.

Clap.

With the sound of the parlor door opening, a person soon enters the parlor.

The person who entered the drawing room was an old man who was close to the age of 5 to 60 years old on the outside, as if he had greeted the traces of the years.

It was Flyan, the person in charge of Alcaa Nursery School.

“This is really… Didn’t I make you wait too long to greet the precious person? Really… I am infinitely sorry.”

Chersha, who didn’t even turn her head to Flan’s voice, just nodded her head slightly.

Despite Chersha’s rude appearance at first glance, Flyan only lowered her head.

No, to be honest, there was a reason why Flyan couldn’t help but do that.

A few years ago, the environment at Alkea Nursery School was as poor as any other city nursery school. All of that has changed because of just one person.

And that person was not anyone else, but a girl in front of him.

The enormous donation given by the Magic Tower is that the Alkea Nursery School is not like a nursery school, the exterior and interior of the building have all changed, and the children of the nursery school are growing up in a better environment than ordinary people, from meals to education. Even in the region, there were even those who deliberately sent their orphans to Alkea Nursery.

“The children in the orphanage are more grateful than anyone else after hearing the name and reputation of Chersha. If… If you don’t mind, even a letter of thanks from the children to Chersha….”

Flyan, who continued his words, was very careful in every action he took. He couldn’t help but pay attention to the fact that he repeatedly flattered her, even though he had offended Chersha.

‘… Please don’t let anything happen.’

Even now Chersha How much the environment in her nursery could be different if she changed her mind. Knowing this better than anyone else, Flynn was unmoved even when he was aware of his servile attitude.

Because I had to deal with Chersha so that she wouldn’t change her mind.

Even with the lives of her children in her own hands, isn’t she looking at triple digits beyond double digits before she knows it?

Although there is a difference in social status and a difference in age several times, it seemed like nothing to Pleaane to bow her head to Chersha.

“There is nothing like letters from children… I do not need. So, isn’t there anything lacking in the nursery school?”

“Ayu, to say thank you so much…. Even the current donations from the Mage Tower are not enough, to the point of overflowing. I really don’t know how to thank Chersha….”

Flian continued to bow her head to Chersha, continuing her words.

Chersha doesn’t care about her, as if she was just overhearing Flan’s words over and over again. She doesn’t give much of an answer and she continues to stare out of her window.

Through a small window in the drawing room, you can see the children playing in the nursery school grounds.

“Kyahahahaha!!”

“Oh sold, it’s mine, give it back!”

“Julia! Come play with me!”

“Turin! How do you touch this?”

The appearance of children getting along with each other in a variety of ways was so bright in itself.

The appearance of children seems to energize even the viewer.

In the faces of such children, it seemed that the darkness that I could see just a few years ago was no longer visible. It was hard to recall the dark appearance of the children at the nursery school.

Is there such a lively nursery school in the Chaldean Empire….

Looking at the children while blankly thinking about that.

The Alkea Nursery School, which had been changed one by one according to his own will, felt different at the same time.

The atmosphere at the nursery school was bright enough to make me suddenly think that way.

“….”

Actually, his intention wasn’t great for the children who are playing so brightly now.

From the bright faces of the children, the memories of oneself are very small…….

It was really nice, even a little bit, so it was my memories of hanging out with him. I was doing it because I wanted a very faint image of him to come to mind.

With his actions, he gave hope to the children at the orphanage.

Seeing the lively and bright children, he himself was sponsoring the orphanage after all, even though he left this place a long time ago.

Did he notice Chersha’s gaze?

“Oh!?”

“Look over there!”

“It’s Chersha!”

“Oh! You really are Chersha!”

“Thank you!”

As some of her children find Chersha in her second-floor drawing room, she bows down and expresses her gratitude to her as one of her.

The expression of gratitude shown by some children made even the other children look back at Chersha, who was seated in the drawing room, as if it was contagious.

Many children looked at Chersha in the drawing room and bowed their heads to express their gratitude.

“… Chit.”

Chersha made a small noise and finally pulled herself away from her window.

I had to feel the subtle sensation of tickling my hands at the sight of the children spitting out various words as they thanked me.

I certainly didn’t feel bad about it, but it felt burdensome to be stared at by such innocent children.

Naturally, Chersha sits on the sofa in her drawing room and looks at her plian.

“I must have told you not to tell your children about me….”

And the way Chersha stretched out her words, she seemed to be asking what happened to her now.

“Oops. How can I not follow Chersha’s words? I’m not just talking to the kids. Didn’t Chersha’s name spread far and wide throughout the East? Other than that, good stories like Chersha-sama’s good deeds have spread, and the children of this orphanage naturally know about it.”

After her words were finished, Flan looked at Chersha and smiled subtly.

“… It’s okay.”

Chersha, who wanted to say something for a moment at Flan’s words, let out a sigh as if resigned.

She really knows what she looks like inside of him.

You don’t have to look too hard to see that he continues to say praises to himself, gratitude, the achievements the Mage Tower has contributed to the empire, the need for wizards, and gratitude, even to the children at the nursery school.

The old man, Flynn, never listened to him, even though he had been told countless times before that he should not continue to say such things.

As if he was trying to make the children aware that they were looking at him.

Perhaps he sensed Flan’s shallow intentions to prevent him from ending his sponsorship.

Chersha lifted the tea from her table with her graceful hand.

The delicate scent of tea leaves had long since spread throughout the drawing room.

Flyan looks at Chersha’s appearance with an anxious heart and waits for her reaction that will follow soon.

The tea was brewed with tea leaves called Adilan, which was obtained with a lot of money in anticipation of Chersha’s visit.

It was such a high-priced tea that even myself would shake my hands when I tried it, so this time I was hoping that Chersha would like it.

“This is a tea leaf called Adilan that I found with difficulty… Will she be able to fit her Chersha-sama’s mouth….”

Should I speak up or not? I thought about it, but Flyan finally spoke up.

Chersha I wanted her to know. She knows that she is putting so much effort into your reception.

“Anyway… It’s not bad.”

Chersha’s words are spoken in a flat tone without much emotion.

But with just that, Flyan’s expression brightened enough to know that anyone who saw it was happy.

It was a car of a quality that I would not have touched if it was inside the magic tower. When visiting her nursery, Chersha had a softer side to her demeanor.

Even the tea she is drinking right now, called Adilan, just feels like her scent is a bit weak compared to the teas she drinks on a regular basis.

Chersha didn’t bother to point it out.

She knew from her memories with him that there would be nothing good for her to show a sharp attitude here.

As Chersha caresses the teacup for a while, she comes up with an idea.

‘How much…… , How much longer do I have to wait?’

When did she really intend to come to her?

She herself has already reached a 5th tier mage who can strike a contract with a knight.

Eight years. She herself was not dazzled by anything, and was only immersed in magic, and she herself did something that was not even in the history of the Mage Tower.

I did.

By the way… When will Ed come back to him?

Ed said he would become his own knight.

She herself still never forgot those words.

No, how can I forget? Even at that young age of 9, the boy looked at him with such sincere eyes and said….

Occasionally, I tried to find news about him in the Mage Tower, but strangely, I couldn’t hear anything special.

Considering the scale of the Mage Tower, it would certainly be possible to obtain quite a few rumors and news, but even so, there was no news about it.

In the meantime, I heard the news that Ed had been given the surname of Glead two years ago. He was extremely excited when he heard the news.

It’s been two years since there were no other rumors.

Receiving the surname of Glaad must have meant that his talent was recognized even within the Glaad family….

Even if you keep looking for rumors about Glaad, all you hear is ugly words about Glaad’s immediate descendants that you don’t want to hear.

In fact, nothing was said about Ed.

What is Ed’s level as a knight?

Again, how is Ed doing? There was no way to know the news in the eastern region, which is the opposite of the northern region.

“… ….”

Chersha, who slowly put the tea down with her graceful touch, wondered if she had suddenly changed her mind. She stood up in an instant.

“I’ll leave for today.”

She was taken aback by the visibly changed tone of Chersha, but she soon realized that she didn’t mean anything and hurriedly lowered her body.

“Ah. Yes yes! Chersha-sama, please go inside carefully.”
