Chapter 77
Chapter 77
Even though it was only a fleeting moment, it is a person who is not forgotten in life. For me, that person was Delt.
In order to kidnap Ragnis, he mobilized two flying dragons, a flying dragon pilot, and four people who reached the level of a semi-knight, a person who celebrated perfection even in the remote village.
Even though I had to skydive without a parachute because of him… the fact that he made me struggle to the brink of death doesn’t diminish my amazement at him.
Because he’s the one who gave another meaning to beheading people to end things painlessly.
Delt’s eyes, which accept a blow that can never be avoided or blocked, still have an incomprehensible creepiness when looking back on them.
Those eyes that understood everything in less than a second and eventually understood and accepted it, not resignation, had the power to make one have no choice but to respect him even though he was an enemy. What the hell was he doing? Why did he have to work on the opposite side of Ragnis? A lot of questions followed, but there was no way to solve it, so I just left it alone.
That incident gave me an opportunity to blindly believe in the supremacy of a surprise attack and at the same time teach me a lesson not to be vigilant.
Why are you chewing your memory all of a sudden?
I was sitting in a cafe alone and reminiscing about this and that, and suddenly it popped out. As a result, it became a situation where I was concerned with the difference between the strong of this world in relation to Gwilve and Rag, who made me fight with swords from the morning.
Since I started to deal with magical powers, I have had no major problems. Of course, it was a close fight a few days ago while fighting the demons, but fortunately, it was a fight within the family. It is said that it was not a threatening situation where the danger of death came and went every time he swung his sword.
In the end, the only time I truly encountered an unexpected situation was during the double trap prepared by Delt.
They say they are living very smoothly now, but in the end, the day of adventure to kill the destroyer of my hometown is coming, regardless of whether I invade the demons or whatever. At that time, there was no guarantee that it would be the same as now, so honestly, there was a desire to meet the overwhelmingly stronger person than me in the safest possible situation and to know my current situation in detail.
But that seems to be the hardest thing to do.
It would be helpful if there was a chance to compete with Sir Ecap or Radnell Vandes, but everyone is extremely busy, so I can’t dare to compare them. Even the knights of the Ogatorv family, who were said to be a little long, were not at ease enough to give me one-on-one sparring, so my desires had not been resolved until now.
“My son…”
I peeked out the window and could clearly see a group of enthusiasts snooping around waiting for me to come out of the cafe.
No, don’t they have classes? A student’s duty is to teach, not to stalk idols.
Left alone while Ragnis took additional magic lessons, I was eating coffee and dessert at the cafe recommended when I first came to the academy.
It wasn’t that I really wanted to eat this. It’s just that I was able to pick up from Zeke that there is a culture in the Empire where if you don’t even read a common book or newspaper while drinking tea alone like this, you think you have something to think about, so you leave it alone. there was only
At that time, I opened the store door and an unidentified white-haired girl immediately walked towards me with a very confident gait.
You couldn’t tell that he was an aristocrat just by looking at his gait, but since this is an academy anyway, aristocrats are common.
There was nothing particularly surprising about the white hair or the white skin, which felt as if he had albinism. I wonder what the golden eyes are like, but… there are many more unusual things in this world. Even in my previous life, there were plenty of amber-colored eyes depending on the pigment, so there’s no surprise here. It’s a bit strange that it shines so beautifully.
And it’s not uncommon for all of those things to come together to form a cute appearance like a really small doll, but this isn’t surprising either. I am a man who has lived with an elf for over 5 years. I am confident that I will not be surprised by her modest beauty.
The problem was that gaze. As soon as I first entered the store, he found me and looked at me, and as soon as I saw the gaze, a guy called instinct sounded a small alarm.
Extremely calculating eyes that analyze people down to the bone. From the outside, she looks less than 12 years old, but those are not the eyes a child can ever have. Even if he can’t do it, his growth will be a bit slow, but he must have aged more than his appearance, and it is clear that he is in a position to deal with people.
Having judged that far, I asked the girl who was approaching me still making direct eye contact with me.
“Would you like some cake?”
“Uh, huh?”
“I think you came because you had something to say to me, but eating and drinking by yourself is a bit like that. Or would you like a drink?”
“So, is that so? Then…then drink and cake…”
What is it? From the hesitant appearance, it felt as if the gaze from just before had disappeared without a trace. Am I mistaken? Are you just a girl?
It was a little out of the way, but since an ordinary girl might feel intimidated by me, she escorted me by using the experience of being a butler that I had learned from the Ogatorv family.
The height difference alone is approaching 50. If you’re really a kid, simply facing someone bigger than you can feel intimidating. I didn’t want to be remembered as a twin who made a young aristocratic girl cry even abroad.
That’s why I got up from my seat in the most friendly manner possible, pulled out a chair for the girl to sit on, helped her sit down, gave her a recommended menu before thinking about the menu, picked a tea that went well with it, finished her order, and returned to her seat. There was a girl looking at me with her eyes.
“Well, something is very good.”
natural bottom. unique speech. If nothing else, he must be a fairly high-ranking aristocrat. Even so, maintaining a manner that does not go against manners… It hinted at the possibility of a high status, not a crazy pride of aristocracy like Gwilve.
“I only learned enough to not be ashamed of.”
“…Do you know who Yeo is?”
“No. I’m sorry, but it’s the first time I’ve seen her and I’m not familiar with the social world, so I have no idea.”
However, I do know that it is a bit seriously cute that the way an elderly person would speak naturally sticks to his mouth. Is that the way your grandpa talks? From my previous life memories, it seems that the royal family or dragon-like beings in the novel referred to themselves with the expression “Yeo”, but there is no way that a dragon is roaming in the middle of the empire… Since Eselua, who is a royal family, was blonde, she must not be a royal family either. .
Well, it may be a little high noble, but if it’s not the royal family and the dragon, it’s going to be something!
“That’s right. You treat her like this even though you don’t know who she is.”
“I’m not born in a noble family, but I’m not a guy who hasn’t learned basic etiquette.”
“Hmm. Birth doesn’t matter. Even if it’s an empire right now, there are people who don’t even look like butchers wearing nobles’ masks. People’s character is not tied to those things.”
It’s so cute to say the right words without biting your tongue once! The future of this empire is brighter than I thought. It’s to the point where I want to show it to Zeke. It was so admirable that I decided to give it a little bit of praise.
“You have a keen eye. You are indeed a nobleman of an empire where an academy exists that encompasses both commoners and nobles.”
“Um…? How did you know? Didn’t you say you didn’t know her?”
“Well, since she wasn’t even wearing a school uniform, she wasn’t a student. If she was an envoy who came to meet the hero, her attendants would have been with her all the way. Above all… the students who were watching me from the outside disappeared as soon as they saw the lady. ”
The girl, who had been giving me suspicious looks, opened her eyes round and round in a very cute way, looked outside the window and at me a couple of times, then burst into laughter.
To be honest, the students almost disappeared as if they were running away in a panic, so even I started to be a little scared of who the hell he was, but I didn’t show it.
“Oops! I didn’t even think of that. By the way, I heard that you’ve only been at the academy for the third day, have you already gained followers?”
“There are only a few people who give a little overestimation even though their ability to teach others is not enough.”
“Haha. ‘The ability to teach others’! I see. You have no intention of being humble about your ability to beat a hero and kill a young lion in Rudra!”
I was convinced with a light smile when I saw the girl who accurately caught my intentions from my words without making a mistake at all.
I don’t know anything else, but I’m not a casual bet.
Judging by the reaction of the waitress who served the cake and tea with a shudder, she must be the daughter of a family with considerable power. I didn’t want to ask who it was now, but seeing the sparkling eyes as soon as I saw the cake, I decided to just enjoy it as if I were looking at a cute little brother.
“Did you know? They say that sweet food is very helpful when you use your brain. They say it’s quite helpful not only to get rid of anger, but also to clear your mind.”
Did I mention that glucose is like fuel for the brain? It was knowledge that I had picked up at least once in my previous life, but I couldn’t say it here, so I answered moderately with a small smile.
“I had no idea. But I guess it’s true, seeing as I always crave something sweet when I have a lot of brain work.”
“It’s true. It’s a big deal when you’re working even if you’re working, thinking that an hour is far away and looking for a cake.”
I haven’t eaten yet, so it’s nice that I don’t have to worry! I was a little worried about whether the cake would suit the taste of the girl who eagerly ate it, but looking at her satisfied appearance, it seemed that she was not the owner of a very picky appetite.
To be honest, I expected to see him munching like a hamster and eating a full meal, but the girl kept the old-fashioned dining etiquette and ate the cake bit by bit.
I’m sorry… so sorry!
