The Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 190 (1) - The Academys Weapon Replicator

Frondier, having heard all the explanations in the faculty room, returned to the classroom.

It seemed that several preparations were needed to conduct the skill test. The faculty members were dismissed, with the promise of being contacted again in a few days.

‘Then shall I go straight to Selena?’

As previously promised, Frondier was going to go shopping for clothes with Selena. They would probably visit the Terst Department Store, but he was also willing to look around other places if necessary.

‘I said I’d buy her clothes, but it’s harder than I thought.’

The clothes he needed to buy for Selena weren't just a matter of fashion.

He needed to find replacements for her overly revealing outfits, but if those replacements were inferior to her current clothes, it would be better not to buy anything at all.

Selena's clothes were basically combat uniforms.

‘If I just wanted to find good clothes, I could use the workshop and analysis appropriately, but ultimately, they have to fit Selena.’

Creak-

Frondier opened the classroom door.

“Selena, have you been waiting?”

“Ah, Frondier-nim.”

Frondier approached Selena. Sybil was next to her, giving Frondier a stiff smile.

“Oh, oh! Frondier! Hi? How have you been?”

“……We already greeted each other this morning.”

“The more greetings, the better!”

Is that so? Well, if that’s Sybil’s philosophy.

“Then let’s go, Selena.”

“Yes.”

Following Frondier’s words, Selena stood up.

Seeing that, Sybil said blankly,

“Y-you’re really going together…….”

“Huh? Ah, I guess Selena told you.”

At Frondier’s words, Selena nodded. Of course, there was a slight difference between what Frondier understood and what Selena had conveyed to Sybil, but Frondier had no way of knowing that.

“H-hey, Frondier.”

“Yes?”

“H-how long do you think you’ll be gone?”

Frondier thought for a moment at Sybil’s question.

He had been pondering a similar question earlier. So, the answer came quickly.

“I think it will take quite a while.”

He needed to choose good clothes and see if they fit Selena.

“A-a long time?”

“Yes. I think I’ll spend quite a bit of money too.”

He couldn’t just choose Selena’s clothes carelessly.

Frondier said so and left, waving his hand. Of course, with Selena. Selena bowed her head to Sybil and followed behind Frondier.

Flutter, flutter, Sybil blankly waved her hand, seeing Frondier off.

Then, with a gaze that seemed to spark, she turned her head abruptly.

Behind Sybil were the students who had just returned from the faculty room.

Sybil’s burning gaze was directed particularly at Elodie and Aten.

“You both heard, right?”

…….

“A date?”

Elodie’s expression naturally furrowed after hearing Sybil’s explanation.

A date and Frondier. The two most incompatible words in the world.

“Yes! That Frondier guy is trying to go on a date with his hired bodyguard!”

“Trying to go? They’ve already left.”

“Ugh, r-right.”

Compared to Sybil’s fuss, Elodie was much calmer. After thinking for a moment, Elodie said,

“Who did you hear that from?”

“Huh? I heard it from Selena.”

“If Selena herself called it a date, then she accepted the date request. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that…….”

Sybil pursed her lips at Elodie’s words.

Sybil wasn’t particularly worried about Frondier causing any trouble. She just felt like she had to do something.

Aten, who had been listening, tilted her head.

“Um, a date is, like, when a man and a woman eat together or go shopping, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Like an outing?”

Suddenly, it started to sound quite wholesome.

Sybil shook her head.

“No, Aten. A date is something lovers do.”

“Lovers…….”

After chewing on the word for a moment, Aten’s eyes widened.

“Then Mr. Frondier and Ms. Selena are currently lovers……!”

“W-well, I don’t know about that yet, but a date is something that people who are lovers or are going to be lovers do! It’s to confirm each other’s affection!”

“I see…….”

Hearing that, Aten thought for a moment.

Frondier and Selena. The one being protected and the protector. Due to their relationship, they spent a lot of time together, and without trust in each other, things wouldn't work out.

And since Selena had been closest to Frondier among the Constel students during the winter vacation, it was possible that their relationship could develop into a romantic one.

……I see. Lovers.

“So what are you going to do? Follow them?”

Elodie asked in a voice mixed with a sigh. Of course, she wasn't asking seriously.

“Yes!”

Sybil’s answer was cheerful and clear. Ha, Elodie’s exasperation doubled.

It wasn't like anything would happen if Sybil followed Frondier, but it certainly wasn't a very honorable thing to do.

Elodie couldn't just stand by and watch her classmate stalk another classmate.

The fact that Frondier and Selena were going on a date was quite bothersome to Elodie as well, but she didn't particularly want to interfere.

“Aten, say something too. Following them? That’s a bit much, isn’t it?”

Aten nodded at Elodie’s words.

“You’re right, Sybil.”

At times like this, it was time for the princess of the Empire, who always kept her public and private life separate, to step up.

“It must be difficult alone. I’ll go with you.”

It wasn't.

The princess of the Empire was completely useless.

“Aten……. You’re going to follow them too? Why?”

“I need to confirm if those two are really lovers.”

“What are you going to do after confirming?”

“……I’m not planning on doing anything.”

Aten shook her head. Her white hair flowed smoothly down her shoulders.

“I just want to confirm.”

“……Sigh.”

Elodie sighed. Her mind was racing.

The case where Sybil follows them alone.

This was rather better. Because Sybil ‘generally had a tendency for things to work out well’.

This tendency was absurdly strong compared to others, so even if she was following them, Elodie wasn’t too worried.

At the very least, even if she got caught, she would be able to get out of it without much trouble.

The problem was Aten.

Aten seemed like she had never done anything like following someone before, and contrary to her appearance, she was a bit clumsy.

It wouldn't be surprising if she accidentally got caught somehow.

……It can’t be helped, even though I really don’t want to.

“Fine. Then I’ll go too.”

Elodie made a decision.

It wasn't like they were the type to be stopped by force.

At the very least, she had to make sure they didn’t get embarrassed.
