Episode 132. Nameless Ruins (1)
Every time I took a step, all eyes gathered around me.
It’s a bonus to cover each other’s mouths and mutter.
Of course, no good stories were exchanged.
“That bastard and Princess Arin are getting engaged? “Do you feel sorry for Princess Arin?”
“I know yeah! “Even if you belong to the Duke of Amman Wert, you have to live with a man who finds it difficult to live in such a world. If I were you, I would just live as a single person.”
“Look at those sullen eyes! “I feel bad every time I see him!”
It was a sound you couldn’t hear unless you put your ear close to it, but as it happened, the boy was hearing it all.
However, I didn’t show anything or react and just walked my way in silence.
“… … !”
Meanwhile, Arin came up the stairs, faced the boy, and was shocked.
“Oh, hello Sian?”
I tried to greet them with as natural a face as possible, but the embarrassment was evident on my face.
-Nodding
Instead of answering, the boy nodded once and passed her indifferently.
“what? “I’m not even going to say hello anymore!”
Arin, who thought she had been ignored, puffed her cheeks and made a pouty expression.
Anyway, the boy calmly passed everyone by and soon arrived at his room.
-Squeak
Let’s open the door as if nothing happened,
“great job.”
Sian, who had been waiting, faced the boy.
When told that he had worked hard, the boy smiled and said,
-pop!
He revealed his true self with a strange binge drinking.
“Wasn’t it difficult?”
“huh! “It was really fun to go around dressed up as Papa!”
The boy’s identity was Nana, who was transforming into Cyan.
Although it was a short journey, it seemed like it was a lot of fun, and my mouth was full of happy smiles.
Sian was so happy that he patted Nana’s head.
Kayram, who was watching this, laughed as if it was absurd.
* * *
[Are you really crazy?]
“I’m not going to deny it either.”
Because I don’t think I would do something like this unless I went crazy.
[So, are you going to leave with that little boy as your stand-in, who never knows when he might go on a rampage? If you look closely, you seem to secretly enjoy this, but tell me honestly! It doesn’t matter if you get caught, right?]
“I hope so too.”
I’m doing this to avoid getting caught.
It’s not that I don’t understand Kayram’s feelings, but what can I do?
If there is any trick to get out, you should fully use it.
“I’m home. young master!”
Brian returned after Nana.
“great job. “How was it?”
“I don’t think there was any particular problem. Nana imitated the master so well that even I was a little confused… … .”
All I told them to do was keep their mouths shut and keep their eyes blank, but they seemed to do the same.
Is this why it is said that parents are the mirror of their children?
I don’t think that old saying exists for nothing.
“Master, are you sure you’re okay? I don’t know if it’s just the students, but I wonder if they can fool instructor Silica and those who are close to you… … .”
“Of course it’s not okay. “Maybe the head of the family will find out right away?”
“yes? “Then what should I do?”
“Say I told you to.”
Brian, with wide eyes, scratched his head and continued speaking.
“Well, is that okay? “I don’t think Sirika will be embarrassed?”
“You’d be angry, not embarrassed, right? But he wouldn’t kill you if I said I did it.”
Brian’s face suddenly turned pale and he froze.
It’s not a lie.
It may vary depending on how I feel that day, but I think there is a 60% chance that I will be able to survive.
It’s over half, so that’s it.
I am fully aware that there are risks.
Since I didn’t take the class anyway, I don’t plan on sending it away, and I’m just planning to have Brian accompany me and make eye contact periodically like I did today.
Since the president is away, it looks like Princess Arin will be avoiding me for the time being, and in theory, there doesn’t seem to be a big problem… … .
It would just be easier for me to finish work quickly and come back.
I’ll think about the rest later.
[…] … .]
Kayram was looking at me with wide eyes.
“Do you have anything to say?”
[Do you really need to look for that piece of paper?]
I’ve felt it before, but I think it’s almost certain at this point.

It seems like she doesn’t really want me to find the magician.
“Don’t just show that you don’t like it, but tell me the reason. “Is there any reason why I shouldn’t look for the magician?”
Kayram licked his lips at the somewhat direct question.
After thinking for a moment about whether to say something or not, she finally turned her head.
[That’s it. That’s it. What’s the point in saying it? Do whatever you want, master~]
What does the owner say that doesn’t suit him?
I once again feel that she is a woman whose true feelings are unknown.
* * *
Early morning with a blue curtain hanging over the black sky.
A large man in the distance looked at me and waved his hand.
“Welcome! Sian Berth! Are you ready!”
Even a loud voice would be better than that.
They are talking so loudly that it would be shameful to sneak out.
But when I looked closely at this guy, he didn’t have any luggage.
“What about your luggage?”
“hmm? What else is there to take care of? “My body alone is enough to get to Nodeli!”
It didn’t seem like anything to be surprised at, so I nodded, thinking it was just that.
“You didn’t forget your promise, right? After this experiential learning is over, you can spar with me! “For that, I will personally guide you!”
To tell you one thing, the application for experiential learning submitted by Set was immediately rejected by the head of the family.
In other words, this is not experiential learning, but strictly unauthorized outing.
Although I did my best to leave, he just came out with the firm belief that experiential learning was permitted.
He’s probably more interested in sparring with me than attending school anyway, so I don’t think it’ll really matter if he goes later.
The current time is exactly 10 minutes before 6:00 a.m. when the guards’ shift shifts begin.
I will take advantage of the brief moment during which the handover is taking place and quickly leave the city.
It’s a spy.
It’s a place I haven’t set foot in since the War of Unification of the Continent, so is this the first time I’ve visited in almost 20 years?
A dry desert that is sweltering all year round.
As someone who hates heat more than cold, this is a place I just can’t relate to… … .
“Where are you going to hang out?”
My body and Set’s bodies froze at the same time.
Unlike the guy who quickly turned his head away, I hardly ever turned my neck.
I think I already know who it is just by hearing their voice.
I turned around with a small sigh and a bug-bitten expression,
“You guys are so diligent… … .”
He is stroking his lips with one hand and smiling eerily at me,
I saw Lunav.
Without hesitation, I immediately snatched her hand and dragged her to the corner.
-bang!
Finally, he slammed one hand down hard on her side, which was against the wall.
“You can be too extreme… … .”
The answer to words that are not nutritious is to ignore them.
I have no intention of being swayed by nonsense.
“What are you? “How did you get here?”
“Isn’t that something I should ask? “What did two men gather together so early in the morning to do?”
“No problem! “I just came out to exercise!”
“If you’re going to make an excuse, please make it something plausible. “It’s so ridiculous that I can’t even laugh.”
Her gloomy eyes were glaring at me as if pitiful.
“I heard that you applied for senior experiential learning, but it was rejected, right? That’s why you’re going out secretly with Prince Set, and you’re going to an unnamed ruin located in Spania Nodeli.”
I asked back with a face that controlled my emotions as much as possible.
“Have you read too many books? Or is writing novels your hobby?”
“There’s no need to pretend. “I already know why you want to go there.”
She immediately took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to me.
“What is this?”
“Please confirm it.”
On one side of the paper was a seal symbolizing the Garam Society.
I checked the contents with a confused mind,
“… … .”
I was frozen in place.
“This is exciting data discovered recently by our academic society. In the past, a demonic beast summoned through the power of a magic book during the Shinma War lives in the ruins, and the local residents call that demonic beast Remi Haram, right? With the same name as Martha… … .”
I was so emotionally shaken that a ray of cold sweat ran down my back.
“Did you know that Maseo’s name is Remi Haram? It’s so amazing. Clearly, Martha’s name is a secret that only a very few people in our society know, but how on earth did she know about a senior who had absolutely nothing to do with the society? “It’s not like anyone can tell you.”
A half-baked excuse is nothing but digging my own grave.
All that can be done is meaningless silence.
She continued speaking without stopping.
“To be honest, I wasn’t sure. Even if the senior knew the name of the magician, there was no guarantee that he would visit the ruins. But lately, you’ve been hanging out with that Prince Set a lot, so I’m starting to get suspicious. When she heard that she had applied for experiential learning, she was immediately convinced. My senior is going to visit those ruins… … .”
There was just no way to freeze.
No, but how do you know that I applied for experiential learning?
If it had been rejected at the head of the family, it wouldn’t have reached the ears of other instructors in the first place, right?
Is this really possible?
“Oh, by the way, I heard from that person that a senior applied for experiential learning.”
Her slender finger was pointing at the set.
“I saw him moping around alone in the middle of the park on the weekend, and even though he looked pathetic, I was curious and asked him. Then you told me everything and told me to keep it to myself? I’m going to go on an experiential learning experience with my senior soon… … .”
I was so angry for a moment that I clenched my fists.
So, who would you blame?
I’m a fool for trying to work with that idiot.
When I glared at him with angry eyes, he scratched his head and laughed heartily.
“what do you want?”
In the end, given the current situation, I had no choice but to say what she wanted.
Lunav finally responded with a satisfied smile.
“It’s simple. Please take me to those ruins too. I won’t ask how you found out about it or why you’re looking for the magician. “I just want to accompany you as someone who wants to confirm the authenticity of the book.”
In addition to the materials she handed over earlier, she took out other materials from her arms.
“These are other materials from the society related to the Book of Magic. “These are valuable items that you can’t find anywhere, so I’m sure they will be helpful.”
Even at a cursory glance, I could see that it was confidential information from the academic society.
At this point, you can’t help but have doubts beyond doubts.
This is a clear obsession that goes beyond the scope of help.
Even though I extended her life, I didn’t even tell her that I did it. Why is she so obsessed with me?
“The reason is?”
“yes?”
“There must be a reason. The reason you’re so obsessed with me… … .”
She tilted her head differently than expected.
“Why are you obsessed? well? “Is there even a reason?”
“what?”
“I’m just doing it because I like my senior… … .”
I was once again speechless at her innocent smile, which was unusual for her.
In the world of give and take, I thought there was no favor without return.
At this moment, I felt like the beliefs I had believed in for decades were momentarily shaken.
