Abduction 28. A blue spring to you (10)
#A28
The fact that Gargarens was behind the terrorist attack was kept a strict secret.
The reason was that the incident was resolved smoothly and there was no need to create anxiety.
Ranse and Sechika also believed that the explosion was the work of terrorists, so the only people who knew the truth were Nabirose and the Mother of Fire.
Varen’s eyes widened as if they would pop out after hearing the situation from Nabirose.
“Well, what do you mean by that? “A bomb attack almost occurred at the Flame Palace?!”
“yes. Ranse and Sechika contributed greatly. “For now, only the professor knows about it, and I think it’s right to recognize the two of them as soon as the field trip is over.”
“Ahh… I can’t believe something like this is happening even though Ronan isn’t there.”
Varen grabbed the back of his neck.
The dizzying feeling of déjà vu was similar to what I felt when I was an advisor to the Special Adventure Club.
It was early morning the next day when Lanse and his group returned.
After chatting all night with Navardose, they secretly hid among the students doing the morning roll call.
“Lance, where were you stuck last night? “I thought he was sleeping, so I went to apply toothpaste, but he wasn’t there.”
“Why are you putting that on, you idiot? You said you were going to meet your father’s friend for a moment.
“Ah, that’s right. Anyway, it’s a gloomy morning. Flame bag… No, I really wanted to meet Navardose…”
Willump sighed as the ground fell.
Fortunately, no one noticed the three people going out.
Lance and Sechika were very diligent in cleaning up after themselves, and it was thanks to the fact that no sound leaked out of the flame palace.
“So, Sechika. “Did you kiss Lance yesterday?”
“Key, what about the kiss… I didn’t say I went to see him.”
“Don’t lie to me. I was afraid that a transfer student named me would seduce me, so I tried to beat him. So, what do you think of the first kiss? “Did you put your tongue in it too?”
“Ahh! “No!”
Sechika’s hair rose like fire.
She had to work hard to fend off her friends who questioned her.
It was a sight that made me smile when I saw it.
Nabirose, who was admiring the two struggling people, spoke softly to herself.
“Five days.”
It was a time when she could lead her life as a girl.
Normally, she should have returned to her 20s appearance a long time ago, but she asked Navardose to let her look like this until the school trip was over.
There was no particular reason.
I just thought it would be nice for friends to remain friends.
The subsequent travel schedule went smoothly.
“To me. How about this necklace? I guess you don’t really like Sechika? Since you are a girl like me, I would like to ask for some advice…”
“Don’t worry, the child will like whatever you give him. “If you pick up weeds from the roadside, they’ll jump up and down with excitement.”
“Well, that can’t be true. Don’t play around, give me advice. For your information, I’m just giving it to you as a thank you, it doesn’t have any special meaning, right? “Don’t misunderstand!”
“Haa… There is no need to take after my father even in this aspect.”
Nabirose sighed.
I had already felt the frustration of having about five sweet potatoes stuffed in Ronan and Adeshan.
She enjoyed sightseeing in Adren, accompanied by two new friends.
【Ah, I know who it is. You guys are Ronan and-】
【They are the descendants of Mage Asher, right?】
“Yes, that’s right…but which one is the Dragon King?”
【Haha, those kids too-】
【I asked the same question.】
We all walked around Adren together.
“Now, this is the place where Archmage Asher stopped Adren from falling. The magic circle on the floor belongs to the vicious Nebula Clazier…”
“To me. I’m bored. Would you like to go get some dessert? “There’s a store I’ve been looking at.”
“But wouldn’t it be nice to hear your father’s story?”
“Ugh. How many times do you think I’ve heard that? My younger siblings like it, so the Adren epic is played at the dinner table once a week. “My role is to imitate the voice of a giant?”
“Then there is nothing we can do.”
Sometimes I even dinged.
Nothing special.
It was truly a normal teenage school trip.
Except that I was having so much fun that I didn’t even notice the passage of time.
The last day has arrived before we know it.
Navardose, who came out to see the students off, spread his wings.
【bye. Children of the Earth. May you all become the dawn that will one day brighten this star.】
“Wow…!”
The students all burst out in admiration.
Navardos, which had returned to its original form, was so huge that it could not be captured at a glance.
The width of its wide spread wings far exceeded the length of Adren.
“Mother of fire! “I will never forget this grace for the rest of my life!!”
“You are the true owner of this planet!”
Willump and Sensen were shedding tears and banging their heads on the deck.
Navardose’s escape was completed sooner than expected, and they were able to have the audience they had dreamed of.
Although we weren’t able to take a commemorative photo, that overwhelming physical strength would forever be engraved on the backs of the boys’ retinas.
“Wow, that’s your true face… It’s so big.”

“I didn’t know there was a dragon bigger than the Dragon King. Well, that’s all it takes to create a flame pocket…”
“Fire pocket?”
“Oh, no. “There is such a thing.”
Ranse and Sechika were also trembling, holding each other’s sleeves tightly.
The human form was shocking in many ways, but it was nothing compared to the original.
“···Is this the end?”
The only one who had an expressionless face was Nabi Rose.
She was leaning on the railing and watching Adren walking away.
Suddenly, the words Navardose had said flashed through my mind.
It was said that retrograde means going back to the times you miss, not to the prime of life.
At first I didn’t understand what it meant, but now I think I understand.
She looked back at Ranse and Sechika and smiled slightly.
“I kind of understand.”
It seems like I was missing it without even realizing it.
Not a battlefield, but a youth that passed by in an instant.
The green spring that could never have come back as it was.
Nabi Rose called the two people.
“hey.”
“huh? what’s the matter?”
“Thanks to you, it was fun. “It’s really fun to play with friends.”
“······suddenly?”
Lance tilted his head.
Anyway, I was going to hang out with him again when I got back, so I didn’t know why he was saying that.
Sechika rushed over and wrapped her arms around her.
“I had a lot of fun too! Thanks to you, I had an unforgettable experience. Hehe, let’s come together next time.”
“If you have a chance to come.”
“Of course there will be. Because you are much stronger than us. Ranse and I will work hard to not fall behind. “Is that true, Ranse?”
“Of course. “I won’t lose next time.”
Lanse hesitated.
Looking at his determined expression, it seemed like he felt a lot while experiencing this situation.
Yes, this is how children grow up.
Butterfly Rose looked at the two people in turn and laughed.
“···okay. “Someday again.”
The sky was clear.
The airship on the windy road safely brought the students to Phileon.
After that day, Ranse and Sechika never saw Naro.
****
One month later.
“Ugh, it’s finally over. “What have you piled up so much?”
Ronan wiped his forehead.
Beneath the sweat-soaked sleeveless sleeves, well-trained muscles like those of a wild beast were visible.
He had just finished helping his old teacher pack up his belongings.
Nabirose said.
“I guess it’s a bit much. Good job.”
“What about the hardships? It was nice to sweat for the first time in a long time. “Anyway, how many years has this been worth?”
Ronan stuck his tongue out.
I thought about it the whole time I was organizing it, but it was such a huge amount.
Nabi Rose’s house, which was a mess, is now a neat space like a museum.
All gifts received from students were displayed in a specially designed storage cabinet.
“Well, that’s fine. “I’ve been collecting it since I started teaching, so it’s well over 20 years.”
“It’s really annoying. So that’s why you have all sorts of things… That’s right, I saw some underwear earlier. Did some pervert give that to you as a gift?”
“···That’s right.”
Nabirose shook her head.
Judging by the reaction, it seemed like it would be better to hide the fact that Adeshan gave it to him as a gift.
I tried it on again and it was the right size, but it was even worse because I couldn’t wear it in the end.
“They both worked hard. “Here’s the water.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Then Adeshan brought cold water.
Like Ronan, she was wearing sleeveless clothes and had just finished cleaning.
Considering his status, it was a very difficult sight to see.
A cleaning general.
Nabirose emptied the cold water in one go and asked a question.
“that’s right. Ronan Even if this guy is like that, are you really okay? “I have to do my country’s work.”
“It doesn’t matter because it’s summer vacation. “It’s been a while since I missed you, instructor.”
“hot. “Get away.”
Adeshan hugged Butterfly Rose as if she were a doll.
There was a big difference in height, so I was able to fit it into my arms.
Suddenly, Adeshan, who was looking down at her, tilted his head.
“By the way, instructor. “I think something has become prettier.”
“I am naturally pretty.”
“That’s true, but should I say that my skin’s elasticity has improved? Hmm… it’s definitely changed, but it’s hard to explain. And your hair suits you incredibly well.”
“is it. “If you have an eye for it, it will be accurate.”
Nabirose laughed.
She kept the short hair she cut at Adren.
I cut it off to avoid my identity being discovered by Ranse and Sechika, but when I actually spent time with it, it was refreshing and okay.
Adeshan clapped his hands.
“really. “Can I hear what your nephew is up to?”
“nephew?”
“yes. Was your name Naro? “I heard he’s a friend I became close with at Adren, but Lance complained that I can’t see him at all.”
“iced coffee. “You mean that girl? I’m sorry, but I don’t think she’ll be coming for a while.”
Nabirose shook her head.
Once the magic was broken, I couldn’t go back to being a girl again.
“Ah…then there’s nothing we can do. “Just tell me I miss you so much.”
“Sure.”
Ranse and Sechika had already come to see him several times, but even then, he could only give the same answer.
It was literally like a midsummer night’s dream.
Ronan, who had been looking around the living room, suddenly stopped in place.
He pointed to the most recent frame next to a picture of himself and Schlieffen.
“Oh, is this a photo you took on the last school trip? “I think it was attached to Lance’s room as well.”
“okay. “This was taken right after the terrorist attack was prevented.”
“You’re lucky to take a picture with Navardose, my son. “After all, it’s nothing short of famous.”
Ronan whistled.
It had been a very long time since I had seen the face of the Mother of Fire, even in a photo.
In the photo, the three little people, including Naro, and Navardozé were photographed in a composition reminiscent of a family photo.
Even though time has passed, her weight has not changed at all from when I saw her as a student.
No joke, it looks like one side is bigger than my head.
“Lance must have liked it. By the way, isn’t this girl named Na-ro really your sister’s daughter? “We look so similar.”
“Why are you making an innocent girl your child’s mother?”
“No…but this is really…”
Ronan stuck his tongue out.
The girl in the photo looked so similar that it was like looking at Butterfly Rose when she was young.
It was natural because it was like that in reality.
Ronan, who had been looking at the photo for a while, snapped his fingers.
“Ah, but there is one difference from you.”
“What do you mean?”
“She has a really pretty smile. “Just looking at it makes me feel good.”
Ronan tapped the picture frame.
Naro was making a V shape with his fingers between Ranse and Sechika.
His posture was a little awkward, but his facial expression was very cool.
“You say I’m pretty when I smile?”
“yes. “It would be nice for you to smile like this too.”
Butterfly Rose looked at herself in the frame in silence.
It was indeed as Ronan said.
It was a smile so bright that I wondered if I could make such an expression.
The corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
Adeshan’s eyes widened next to him.
“Instructor, are you sure you just followed along?”
“Ugh.”
Nabirose hastily covered her mouth.
Adeshan was looking at her with eyes that were so cute that she was dying.
Nabirose, who was wiping away her flushed face, turned her head in the opposite direction.
“noisy. “If you’re done, go now.”
“Hey, don’t be so cold, just eat something. “It’s been a while since the three of us got together like this.”
“That’s right, instructor. “I will live.”
“Don’t be funny, you fluff. “It’s not like I don’t earn that much.”
“Oh, so your sister lives here?”
“You’re saying it’s obvious. Choose the expensive one. “Because I made some money this time.”
Nabirose said confidently.
In return for saving Adren, Dragon King Ajidahaka allowed five chests worth of gold coins to be taken from his treasure trove.
Nabirose did not refuse, and there were few people in Phileon now wealthier than her.
“It’s expensive… I’m not really craving anything, so how about the Phileon cafeteria? “It’s been a long time since I ate.”
“Do you want to die? “I eat there every day.”
“Oh, that’s right. then···”
“now. Should we go out and think about it first?”
The three went out, arguing over the meal menu.
The blue sky, as if it was about to pour, stretched out over the islands.
Huge clouds like battleships, and the weather wasn’t that hot, so it was closer to late spring than summer.
Looking back, I have received so much from those two children.
Nabirose looked up at the sky and muttered softly.
“Youth.”
“yes? “What did you just say?”
Adeshan asked, but Nabirose did not answer.
Instead, he smiled without even realizing it.
The bright smile reminded me of sunflowers that bloom in the summer.
Ronan shrugged his eyebrows.
“As expected, she looks similar…isn’t she really my daughter?”
“noisy. let’s go.”
Nabi Rose took the lead.
The song of the cicadas at its peak rang out as if to bless her as she belatedly welcomed the green spring.
