Episode 78. Lunav Rainriver (1)
“… … !”
Anyone looking at it would think that that blanket could be a top-class magic robe.
The sight of him shaking and covering his whole body as a means of defense was truly pitiful.
“How long are you going to stay like that?”
I asked, unable to see.
“Do, Master, what on earth did you bring in? How can you think of raising a child like that in a room… … .”
“You say you won’t be scared anymore even if there is a demonic beast in front of you?”
“Well, that’s a different story! Moreover, he is not even a magical beast… … .”
Her frightened eyes met those of Nana, who was eating.
“Hey, hey!”
It seemed as if it had stopped, but then Emily ran away to her room, letting out a strange groan.
Nana came up to me with a puzzled look and asked.
“Papa. Emily, why are you like that?”
“don’t mind. “You will adapt on your own anyway.”
I said, stroking her head gently.
Nana grinned, as if satisfied.
Emily was eventually brought to the Academy.
According to the procedure, she must return to Belias’ mansion.
However, for nobles, a personal servant is like private property, so the destination can be changed at any time if the owner wishes.
In other words, since she is still classified as my personal maid, I can decide her future.
No one can get involved in this unless they are the owner of the family.
Emily probably has no idea.
That he was used as a castaway to kill me.
Even though their plan failed, there would be no reason to keep her alive, as there were many possibilities.
In the end, going back to Belias won’t be a good thing, and I have no intention of just watching it happen.
Anyway, no one would question the fact that I am taking my maid back, so they will not be able to approach her carelessly.
Well, that’s what Emily says… … .
My eyes turned to Nana, who had resumed eating again.
Is this what parents worry about as they watch their children grow up day by day?
Although I’ve hidden it well for the past two years, it wasn’t perfect.
As there are suspicions not only from the dining table but also from other parties, if this continues to build up, it will inevitably explode.
At least, thanks to the liberalization of humanization, the leakage of magical energy is suppressed… … .
It would be impossible to continue this life in the future.
In any case, I think we should fake enroll in school instead of fake employment like Emily did.
“I’m home. young master.”
Just then, Brian returned from personal training.
As soon as he arrived, he handed me two unfamiliar letters.
“Both were received from the Academy’s official recipient.”
It seems like I’m receiving letters quite often these days.
I was a little worried that it might be another strange invitation, but fortunately it wasn’t.
First of all, it was a letter from older sister Ellis.
In addition to a short greeting, the letter stated that he had finally decided on his career path.
That’s what I’m going to do eventually.
Join the Knights of Light to continue the family.
It wasn’t that surprising.
My older sister’s choice was a natural one, as I had heard it over and over again since I was young and had already promised myself dozens of times.
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that she chose the best direction she could go.
I also do not deny that the place where her natural talent can be most effectively used is in the Knights of Light.
When you apply to join, there is usually a review and probation period of about 6 months to a year, but for my sister, that period will probably be drastically shortened.
If you are asking if special hiring is possible, yes.
There is no need to waste time and delay a talent so renowned that everyone in the empire knows about it.
My sister will be awarded the title of Knight of Light within three months at the most, or one month at the earliest.
The problem is next.
Although there was one incident, my sister’s life is moving in the same direction as her previous life.
That means that the end of that life will be the same as the previous life.
There isn’t much left.
Sooner or later, the day will come when I will leave the academy again.
After reading my sister’s letter, I carefully sealed it and kept it aside.
Then, naturally, I looked at the second letter.
“what is this?”
It was clearly listed as me as the recipient, but no matter where I looked, I couldn’t find the sender of the letter.
So I opened the letter and checked it right away.
The moment I saw that awkward title attached to my name, I knew immediately who the sender was.
It was Lunav.

Anyone who sees them will think that they have a very affectionate relationship with their seniors and juniors.
Is it because of my mood that the more I read the letter, the narrower my eyebrows become?
They say we’re meant to be just by brushing each other’s collars, but isn’t this a bit excessive?
It was no exaggeration to say that this was almost like one side was forcing the relationship.
No, what purpose does this little guy have for keeping approaching me in the first place?
Other people might criticize me by saying, ‘Isn’t this girl showing interest in you right now?’ But I have a negative mindset from the beginning, so I don’t feel any emotion even when I see things like this.
Rather, it only stimulates people’s vigilance.
Meanwhile, when I read the last sentence, the corners of my mouth went up without me realizing it.
I said this out of fear of being misunderstood, but I laughed because it was ridiculous.
Are you saying I’ll see you soon? Are you saying you’re coming to see me before school starts?
I had a strong feeling of anxiety that something annoying would happen.
At that moment when I was seriously thinking about going somewhere else for the rest of the vacation,
-smart
An unfamiliar tapping sound echoed throughout the room, ringing in my ears.
At the same time, the anxiety that arose after reading the letter grew stronger like a burning fire.
I stopped Brian from leaving and slowly approached the door.
As I said before, it is vacation time.
In other words, I am the only student currently living in the Royal Building.
The fact that an unfamiliar visitor has now come to this place where even the facility managers pay no attention… … .
I haven’t checked yet, but I think I already know who is beyond the door.
Hoping it wasn’t the girl in my head, I carefully opened the door.
-Squeak
“… … .”
I opened the door and just didn’t say anything.
It’s not that I was so surprised that I couldn’t speak, it was just that the situation I expected unfolded before my eyes.
The unfamiliar visitor looked at me with fierce eyes without any hesitation and said,
“It’s been a while, Senpai.”
* * *
Of course I couldn’t let her into the room, so I grabbed her hand and dragged her outside.
Lunav followed along helplessly, like a soulless doll, and did not offer any resistance.
The place we arrived with her was a cafeteria that we had never set foot in since entering school.
Of course, there were only two people there.
“You’re a more extreme man than I thought, aren’t you, senior?”
She said, stroking her wrist.
“Stop saying anything weird and get to the point. “Why did you come to see me?”
“I’m bored.”
An infinitely confident and upright expression.
It didn’t feel like a lie at all.
“Looking at your face, you look like you’re facing someone with a plan.”
I know.
I agreed silently.
“I’m a little disappointed. “We are sitting across from each other at the same table.”
To be exact, you probably joined us while we were eating.
I don’t want to waste time talking about trivial things.
He leaned back, crossed his arms, and spoke with a look in his eyes that showed anyone watching.
“Hey junior. “I think I misunderstood the desirable relationship between seniors and juniors, but if you count the time you and I have met face-to-face so far, it’s been less than two hours.”
“It’s not as good as I thought, huh? “I thought it was about 20 hours.”
You’re talking like 20 hours.
“In human relationships, trust is not created even if you live for 20 years, not just 20 hours. “Don’t you think it’s strange that I treat you so kindly, even though I’ve only seen you for two hours?”
“… … .”
It seemed like he was speechless for a moment, but he didn’t look shocked.
“Sir, you’re only one year older than me, but you’re speaking as if you’re talking about the experiences of someone who has lived for more than 20 years… … .”
I had nothing to say in response, so I avoided eye contact for a moment.
You are so quick to notice.
“great. Anyway, trust has to be formed between you and me, right? “I already have trust in my seniors, so all I have to do is build their trust in me.”
You speak clearly and clearly.
Runab closed his eyes for a moment and then fell into deep thought.
He seemed to be thinking about how to gain trust in me.
“Can I tell you a secret about our society that you might like?”
“… … ?”
“In fact, high-ranking people in the society, including my grandfather, are keeping an eye on my senior. “The reason I was sent to this Imperial Banquet was to investigate my senior.”
For a moment, I frowned, thinking I had heard something wrong.
what?
What am I listening to?
“You may think it’s unfair, but unpleasant things have been happening at our academy recently.”
“Something unpleasant?”
“yes. One day, a knight who supplied the blood of demonic beasts in the frontline area was suddenly assassinated, and a merchant who had provided research supplies and human test subjects to the academy was also suddenly found dead. There were dragons that helped our magic academy the most to survive, but they also suddenly disappeared near the academy due to someone, and things that were too fatal to be called coincidences kept happening to us.”
It was absurd, but I couldn’t help but laugh.
This was because the series of facts she just said were all related to me.
For now, I asked without showing it off.
“… … So, the Garam Society is now looking at me as the culprit of the unpleasant things you mentioned. “Is that what you heard?”
“yes.”
Lunav’s answer was consistent.
“Don’t you know that telling lies to gain trust can backfire?”
“I’m not lying. “I told you the truth.”
know.
I don’t know anything else, but the events she described were absolutely not lies.
The problem was that the incidents were related to the Garam Society, to which Lunav belonged, and they were looking at me as the culprit.
“On what basis are you saying that?”
For now, I had no choice but to deny it, saying it was nonsense.
“To be honest, I also think it’s nonsense. However, because my grandfather has a very suspicious personality, he keeps all possibilities in mind. In the case of senior Xian, he lived on the front lines before entering the academy, and I think he focused on the fact that he possesses dark attributes that make it easy to erase traces.”
“In other words, it is a vague guess, not a definite inference?”
“That’s the way it is.”
President of Regens Society.
I knew he had a suspicious personality, but I never thought he had me in mind.
Moreover, the dragons I killed were actually related to the Garam Society… … .
This is a fact that even I did not know in my past life.
It’s a collusion between dragons and humans.
How would other dragons, including other countries, react if they knew about this?
“Okay, if what you say is true, people in the academy, including your grandfather, are now suspicious of me, and you’ve just told me about it. Is there any reason to go to such lengths to gain my trust? “There’s nothing I can do for you.”
This is not just a secret, it is strictly confidential.
It’s not something that can be said at a light level like favor.
But why her? For what reason? Is she trying to gain my trust by continuing to approach me?
Unless I tell her this, she will never escape my watchful eye.
“… … .”
The same indifferent gaze continues to be fixed on me.
Her slightly trembling pupils gave a glimpse of her inner self, as if she was deeply worried about something.
Lunav soon opened his mouth.
