Chapter 154 – 154. The Northwestern Giant
After confirming that the carriage was fully loaded, I slowly turned towards the academy.
Winter vacation has just begun.
I was planning to tour the kingdom like I did this summer to solve incidents caused by evil spirits or unsolved cases that were buried due to the work of evil spirits.
Saint Lucia seems to have some free time recently and has been working hard, so I am planning to move to Violen, the Bright family’s estate, for a reunion.
Erica, checking the luggage in the same carriage, quietly approaches next to me.
“Do you have any other plans?”
“Anyway, I’ll come in from the other side with my head down, so there’s no problem.”
Erica nods her head at my words, but then looks at me with a subtle expression.
“It sounds like you don’t have any plans?”
“… … .”
“Something out of the ordinary, isn’t it?”
She didn’t bother to answer, but perhaps because it felt even more strange, Erica now looked worried.
“Something is wrong, right?”
“does not exist.”
When I answer firmly, Erica appears to back off for now.
“But where is Findeneye? Normally she would be the loudest.”
Erica asked about FindenEye, perhaps thinking of naturally changing the subject. But she unintentionally hit the nail on the head.
“She left.”
“You left?”
I thought I was using my usual voice and way of speaking. Is it something different?
Erica’s expression distorts and she turns to look at me. The worry in her eyes was strangely agitating to me.
“Yeah, I’m from the Clark Republic, so I went back there.”
“… … .”
Erica, who was staring at me, clenched her fists and bit her lip. She then lowered her head and said.
“Let’s chase after him.”
It was unexpected.
I had no idea that the words to chase after Findeneye would come out of Erica’s mouth.
“There is no need to waste time trying to catch a runaway maid.”
“You’re not just a maid!”
There were quite a few emotions contained in Erica’s loud voice. Jealousy and anger mixed with compassion and consideration.
She was talking to me, pushing away her emotions.
“I thought there was something different from usual, so that’s why. Dayus, it’s okay, let’s go to North Weden. “It’s okay to cancel since it’s a meeting in name only.”
“This is nonsense.”
“What doesn’t make sense!”
“The Bright family is probably already preparing to welcome us, and Darius has already left.”
“but!”
“And we also invited the Xeronia family.”
“what… … ?”
Erica asks again, taking a deep breath without realizing it. An expression that said he had no idea that name would come up here.
“Of course, you won’t have anything to do with it. “Don’t worry Gideon.”
“No, the Geronia family said they would come?”
“You should come.”
The Xeronia family is gradually retreating from a cliff. After reading the letter I sent as a memorial service, you will feel so heated that you will not be able to hold it in.
I would have set off for the Bright family right now with my butt shaking.
My letter probably looked like something out of an old fairy tale.
In fact, they did not even know that the rope was a leash that would bind them.
“what… … “It’s not like there was no plan at all.”
Erica, who was speechless, became calm again and cleared her throat and spoke.
“Anyway, we have to chase Findenai! “You are a precious person!”
“It seems that you surprisingly have a lot of affection for Findenai.”
Erica’s eyes widen at the calm answer, and she bites her lip and barely manages to speak.
“you… … .”
“… … .”
“It’s because I’m worried about you.”
It was a word full of shame and shame. Finden Aira doesn’t want to acknowledge the weight that her woman holds within her, but she still needs her, so she accepts it.
That means.
What should I say to Erica?
The moment I was about to open my mouth while thinking about this and that.
“professor!”
Aria ran towards me with her hands raised. She seemed to have come to say hello since it was winter break and she had to be away for a while.
“I’ll just go! Thank you for your hard work this semester!”
“Okay, good job.”
“Okay, see you later!”
After saying that, Aria quickly walks away. Her steps were light and the smile on her face was that of an ordinary girl.
“… … It went really easily, huh? “I feel like I’m looking forward to it rather than regretting it.”
Erica looks at Aria’s back with suspicious eyes. As she stayed silent and said nothing, another female student came.
“Deius!”

“… … “Yes, princess.”
During the vacation period, it is time to return to the position of a princess rather than a student, so I accept Eleanor, who runs towards me while calling my name.
“I’ll just go! See you later!”
She too just smiles and winks and walks away.
Erica crosses her arms and asks again as her steps seem urgent.
“What is this situation?”
“What do you mean?”
“No, you both backed down too easily.”
“It’s vacation, so there’s probably a lot to do.”
Erica groans, saying she has nothing to say if she answers like that. She frowned, probably feeling that she was the only one who didn’t know something.
“What are you thinking?”
“Nothing has been confirmed yet.”
“… … .”
“But if the time comes when I need to talk, I will definitely tell you.”
“Hmm.”
When Erica answered firmly, she closed her mouth and walked away. I turned again and looked at the carriage.
“Let’s leave soon.”
* * *
It’s been about a week since Lovern Academy’s winter vacation began.
A somewhat unique scene was taking place in North Wales, where the chill was in the air.
Burning flame.
North Sweden was a place of sharp cold, but right now the heat from the fire was blowing in the wind and raging like a storm.
Since all the people had already evacuated, the streets were empty, as if it was a ghost town.
There were only sparks crackling here and there in the city, showing extreme violence.
And its center.
The Doberman, who single-handedly destroyed the city, was in the central square with his head down and his eyes closed.
Clap, clap, clap.
The sound of the heavy armor is serious and spreads. The Doberman, who had his eyes closed, realized it was a sign of battle and raised his head.
The armor worn was decorated with thick animal skin, unique to the North. A long black cloak stretches behind the tanned silver armor, and thick fur decorations are wrapped around the waist and shoulders.
However, what is noticeable is that the armor and cloak have burnt marks along with soot.
thud.
Darius Verdi, the Northern Wall carrying a greatsword on his shoulder, glared at the Doberman and opened his mouth.
“Did you make our hometown like this?”
“… … .”
“You’re the one who planted the bomb-type mine outside.”
There was no answer from the Doberman. He simply raised his right hand and pulled his trigger.
bang!
The bullet fired from a long-barreled, copper-colored revolver quickly flew towards Darius, aiming for between the eyes.
Darius conversely opens his eyes and raises his entire body’s mana.
That was the end.
Darius didn’t move at all.
His mana, like the chill of the North, did not allow even a lead bullet to reach its owner.
“Thanks to you, I came back in a hurry while attending my younger brother’s reunion.”
Thanks to the quick report, the citizens of North Wedden were fortunately evacuated to the nearby estate of Count Helian, but the damage to North Wedden itself was extensive.
For reference, Count Helian was in charge of protecting the North Weden Mountains while Darius was away.
“Helian… … .”
Helian died with a bullet lodged between his eyes with his eyes open near the feet of a Doberman.
The body seemed slightly frozen as it had been left outside for a long time.
“Thanks to your bullets and bombs, I suffered quite a bit.”
Because the Doberman had planted mines at every entrance to the city, Darius was unable to bring his troops, and Darius broke into the city alone.
Since the opponent was alone anyway, he broke through alone without causing any casualties from being swept away by the bomb.
The soot that appeared all over the body was created at this time.
“But it wasn’t enough to protect against the cold in the north.”
Crash.
The visor of the helmet lowers to protect Darius’ eyes.
At the same time, the greatsword held in both hands lowered low. A northern giant crouching at his waist and taking big steps forward with his feet.
bang!
Darius rushed forward, leaving behind the sound of a literal bomb exploding.
Each of his steps was heavy and made the earth cry.
Beep beep beep!
A warning sound rings out from the ground again and an explosion explodes.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
It wasn’t just one or two.
A huge amount of bombs had been planted near the Doberman, and they exploded all at once, producing flames and black smoke.
The Doberman slowly lowered his hand and put his revolver in his waist again.
Huh!
The wind blew.
It’s also very harsh.
A storm named North Weden.
“iced coffee!”
A sigh and a laugh of ridicule penetrate the smoke.
The Doberman urgently tried to pull out his revolver again, but it was already too late.
“Is this the flame of the republic?”
The cloak was completely burned away, and the silver armor had already become dingy and dark in color.
In fact, the owner Darius’s steps were the same as the first time, moving forward and just moving forward.
“It’s lukewarm!”
The great sword was aimed precisely at the Doberman’s heart.
