I Became an Adulterous Character in the Academy

Demon Beast (2)

A clothing store stopped by to purchase a robe for northerners.

As I was casually looking at the display stand, I suddenly sensed a gaze.

It was public attention that followed Leonard like a shadow. I’ve gotten used to it to some extent now, and I didn’t mind either.

I realized that non-reaction is the wisest response.

So, I tried to ignore it again. I was just trying to solve my business in silence.

But why?

As if attracted by a magnet, as if possessed by something, his head turned. Perhaps this is also the aftermath of 「Crimson Flame」 and 「Sword Arrow」.

Because Narsha was where my gaze landed.

“·······”

Luxurious interior decorated with black marble.

The strong lighting of the store.

Narsha was standing under that brilliant halo of light. He was looking at me with blank eyes.

I was trying to say something to her.

But before I even got lucky.

“you······”

Narsha approached and was embraced in my arms. Her warmth rushed in with a small recoil. My body, which had been chilled by the cold, warmed up even more.

Indescribable warmth.

Feeling embarrassed at the same time.

“·······”

I froze in place. I looked down at Narsha’s gray hair.

This is not the first time Narsha has acted unexpectedly.

A few weeks ago, there was a time when I had a sudden skinship at a dinner party. It was a mistake made in drunkenness.

So, did you drink again this time?

I took a deep breath. But there was no smell of alcohol.

Only the faint scent of perfume was detected, and the skin tone visible from under the head was as white as usual. That is, it was sober.

If he’s not drunk, why is he doing this all of a sudden?

“…?”

I looked down at Narsha with bewildered eyes. Just in time, Narsha also raised her head.

The two eyes met naturally.

It’s a face I’ve seen often, but today it was quite unfamiliar.

His eyes, which were always sharp, drew soft arcs, and a good airflow flowed through the pupils contained in them. The unique cold atmosphere has completely disappeared.

It was as if I was facing another person.

An unnatural sense of heterogeneity somewhere that shouldn’t be like this.

A change that is not accepted.

Still, I don’t like the look.

Are those complex and subtle emotions projected onto the face?

Narsha looked up at me and asked.

“why?”

He pulled his body closer together and smiled brightly.

“Can’t you just hug me? I am your girlfriend.”

“·······”

It was unanswerable brazenness.

It was true, so I couldn’t refute it.

It’s a calculated love that started for each other’s benefit, but anyway, dating is dating.

Officially, we are lovers.

“It’s not like that-”

“Okay then.”

Narsha took a step back. Then he approached the employee standing next to him.

“That’s about it.”

“yes? Ah yes. Has confirmed.”

An employee who entered the store’s warehouse came out with a wrapped woolen robe. Putting it in a paper bag, I looked at Narsha and I.

“Your boyfriend, by any chance, was Leonard?”

“yes. Right.”

Narsha confidently replied.

The over-the-top shamelessness felt cute. Naturally, the corners of her lips went up.

“Wow~ Aren’t you usually handsome?”

“Not bad.”

“I was curious about how handsome he was, but he exceeded my expectations. I hope you like it.”

“What… a little.”

A conversation that leads to a low voice that I can’t hear.

Soon after, Narsha finished the calculation and walked towards me. I unceremoniously held out my shopping bag.

“ruler. Wear it when you go north.”

“uh······?”

I accidentally received a shopping bag. I was a little taken aback by the unexpected gift.

Narsha said with a small smile.

“It’s yours. Dress well.”

“····thank you.”

“Is not it? thank you Let’s buy dinner then.”

······

After leaving the clothing store, we ate dinner at a restaurant.

I didn’t stop there, went to a cafe, watched a movie, and took a walk along the river in the city.

An unplanned date.

But it didn’t feel like a waste of time. Rather, the thrill that I hadn’t felt before left me with some kind of regret.

jerk- jerk-

Night sky with round full moon.

Two hands clasped beneath it.

“·······”

I thought as I walked under the street lamp.

jerk- jerk-

I don’t know what the reason or the trigger was, but Narsha changed.

The tone of voice, facial expression, and mindset have clearly changed from before. At least it was like that for me.

I glanced down at Narsha.

Is it because your impression has become milder?

I became pretty without knowing it.

Originally, her features were pretty, but as her face brightened, she became even prettier.

Strangely, to the extent that my eyes keep going.

“why? What did you put on my face?”

After staring at it, Narsha asked.

I just brushed the side of her hair.

“Your hair is stuck.”

“What is it, fresh?”

The reaction has definitely changed.

In the past, they would have yelled at me not to touch me, slapped my hand, or started a game, but now there is no resistance.

Like a cat tamed by its owner.

At this point, I was suspicious.

Could it be that he really likes me? Did rumors of dating include selfishness?

As I guessed, I arrived in front of the mansion before I knew it. This time, it was Narsha who brought me there.

“It’s all here.”

I let go of my hand and looked back at Narsha. Narsha pursed her lips in regret.

“I know······”

As if his steps did not come off easily, he kicked the ground for no reason. After a moment of hesitation, he opened his mouth.

“Leave to the north in three days, right? Stay for a week.”

“right.”

I nodded slightly.

“shall we go together? It’s okay to bring one more person with you.”

“I want to do that too, but I have a lot of research subjects left.”

“·······”

“Maybe today will be the last time I see you.”

Narsha’s face darkened. At the same time, my heart sank.

Even I don’t know why.

Is it that the empathy level has increased, or is it a pity that the breakup for a while.

“·······”

Silence hovering in front of the mansion.

The cold night air seeped into her skin, and her white breath flowed out like a sigh.

A sad wind blew through the quiet alley.

wheeess

I adjusted the sleeves of Narsha’s robe with my own hands. He put on a hood so he wouldn’t catch a cold.

“cold. I’ll go in now You go in carefully.”

“yes.”

Narsha’s expression brightened again. The corner of his mouth went up under the wide hood.

“I have something to tell you before you go.”

Narsha nodded her hand as if telling her to come closer. Then he covered his mouth with his palm as if he were going to whisper.

I naturally lowered my body. He tilted his head towards Narsha.

“What?”

“·······”

But Narsha didn’t say anything.

Instead, a soft touch was placed on the ball.

side-

A kiss on the cheek that is thicker than hundreds of words.

Eventually, when I raised my head.

Narsha, her cheeks flushed, was shyly looking up at me.

“I’ve said everything, so I’m going.”

Narsha waved her hand slightly. Then, as if running away, he turned his back.

I looked at the back figure that was quickly moving away.

“·······”

After a while, Narsha completely disappeared.

Before her afterglow was gone, I went into the mansion. Headed to the underground control tower.

My heart is still beating, but I unknowingly smiled happily, but I shouldn’t be dominated by emotions.

Not long left, “Demonic Southern Fall”.

In order to fend off hundreds of thousands of monsters that would flock to the extinction, more thorough preparation was needed.

I opened the basement door.

The smell of alcohol was thick, and the sound of nasty snoring echoed loudly.

“Gooo-! whee woo whee woo…”

A groan like chasing a pig.

Looking at the place where the sound came from, I saw Karios lying face down on the desk. Empty beer cans were strewn about him.

It seemed that he drank heavily alone.

“Tsk…”

I wrinkled my mouth.

I tried to wake him up, but quietly covered him with a blanket. If I wake up now, I’m sure I’ll whine about drinking.

“Gooo-! whee woo whee woo…”

Leaving him behind, I looked around. In the corner of the basement, there was a cart that I hadn’t seen before.

A cart full of documents.

I pointed out and read one of the dogs as 「Yeomdong」.

“·······”

It was a memorandum of sorts.

A certificate confirming that the training that may interfere with safety, such as the Beast Hunting Act and the Extreme Cold Survival Act, has been specified in advance and that the participant has agreed to it.

At the same time, a pledge to obey the instructions of A (hereinafter referred to as Leonard) in case of emergency.

It was a warning signifying that it was not an easy journey, but every participant signed it without missing out.

Looking at the piles of paperwork, I felt a great sense of responsibility.

Took-

I put down the papers. I turned off the light in the basement and headed to the study.

I thoroughly prepared for the descent of the Demon Beast, but it was too early to be relieved.

This is because you never know when a variable will occur.

To prepare for all those situations, to not sacrifice a single person, I have no choice but to raise my capabilities.

The study I visited in about a week.

I sat down at my desk and opened the magic book. I honed [Understanding Space: Magnification of Magical Power], which I hadn’t mastered yet.

same time.

northern part of the empire.

A fierce blizzard rages, and a cold, razor-sharp wind bites. In temperatures below common sense, even breathing is difficult.

Extinction with no trace of life left, Erytheria.

Yerina is walking in the middle of it. I barely step on my legs, which are not moving well because of the thick winter clothes.

Sobok- Sobok-

Erytheia was an inconvenient area in many ways.

Movement was limited due to the snow piled up to the calves, and vision was blurred due to the incessant blizzard. Not to mention the cold, and the time to eat was limited.

What benefit did I come all the way to?

Somehow, when I accepted Leonard’s offer, the Ministry of Magic’s expressions looked bad.

“How long?”

Yerina asked while staring straight ahead. I could hear Jake’s voice faintly from behind.

“I will arrive soon.”

“You said that before? Could it be that we are not in distress?”

“·······”

The agents were silent.

Yerina stopped walking.

“excuse me? Are you two okay?”

“yes!”

“We are fine!”

The answer came right away.

Fortunately, I didn’t fall or fall into a crevasse.

“You must answer me! It’s at the front, so you don’t know what’s going on behind it.”

“yes!”

“All right!”

Yerina took another step.

Sobok- Sobok-

Through the hazy snow fog, they struggled forward, enduring a sense of exhaustion that seemed like they would collapse at any moment.

At some point when I was moving so relentlessly

————–······

The raging blizzard had stopped.

My vision was clear, I didn’t feel a sharp wind, and I could see the construction team wearing yellow vests and the unfinished construction site.

They had arrived at the easternmost camp in the northeast, covered by a transparent magic barrier.

“Uhhh.

Yerina took off her winter hat. After brushing off the snow accumulated on his body, he approached the person in charge of Choi Dong-suk.

The person in charge of the construction site recognized Yerina first.

“You worked hard to come. Are we the last?”

“Yeah… I almost died.”

Yerina cried.

from the most west of the northwest to the most east of the northeast.

I only crossed the road all day under the pretext of management supervision. I wanted to rest as soon as possible.

Yerina hurriedly unfolded the location map.

“Let’s start testing. It is on the verge of collapsing.”

“All right. What you see on the left over there is the y-23 accommodation. The other side is y-24. That little building…”

The person in charge pointed out the building arrangement area one by one and explained it.

Naturally, it matched the layout perfectly.

“And finally y-50. It’s the biggest building you see over there. It will be used as Leonard’s personal accommodation.”

“Yes?”

Yerina asked in surprise. It was information she did not know.

“Really?”

“That’s right. I heard that Leonar-sama’s exclusive furniture is also placed in that inn, did you not know?”

The person in charge looked at Yerina with a puzzled look.

After thinking about it for a while, Yerina clapped her hands and trembled.

“Ah, that’s right~ was that right? I forgot.”

And then he smiled sinisterly. Because I came up with a good idea.

A little special trick to compensate for today’s hardships.

“Leonar-nim, I have special instructions. You want me to make a secret passage through which you can enter from the outside? You don’t have to tell others, just let me know .”
