2nd Round Villain

140 – Harass the hero – 3

The blonde girl’s eyes widened. said Maria, who had the girl sitting on her lap.

“Are you awake?”

The girl blinked her eyes for a moment, then nodded.

“huh… I’m sorry, did I surprise you? came suddenly… .”

“no. are you okay.”

“still… Hey, did you tell the other kids or the teacher? As for my condition?”

The voice of Frey, the girl looking up at Maria with the soft touch hanging from the back of her neck, was clearly embarrassed.

Maria calmly shook her head.

“I was going to do that at first, but my roommate told me not to. The reason why you didn’t go straight to the health room or the teacher and came to me first… Maybe it’s because there’s something they shouldn’t know about… .”

“… good job. That’s why I came to see Maria. however… A roommate… ?”

Frey tried to straighten her back and looked around the room. It was black outside the window. In other words, it meant that night had come before he knew it.

At night, the academy students are not allowed to wander around. The ‘roommate’ Maria mentioned must also be somewhere in the room.

“excuse me… Lie down now.”

As Frey expected, the roommate was in the room. To be exact, he was lying on his side on the bed. facing the wall.

Frey recognized her identity at once. I could only see her back, but that was enough.

Because that girl was so famous. Maybe more than the warrior himself.

“… Her Highness the Princess.”

Curly blonde waves. A terrifying presence that dominates the space even though it is just lying on its back. An existence that seems to embody the words of dignity and dignity.

The student lying down was not a waste of such a chuimsae. The 3rd Princess of the Empire, Albrecht. Because it was none other than her.

As soon as Frey checked her, he managed to get up and get down on one knee with Albrecht’s back. It was an attitude faithful to the etiquette of a knight.

“The servant of the Lord, Frey de Siegfried, greets the noble princess, Her Highness.”

Swoop-.

Albrecht, on the other hand, did not even turn his head. Instead, he quietly raised his hand and shook it.

At first glance, it might seem that she was unpretentious, and in reality she was correct, but Frey was not dissatisfied with her. It was because he heard from Maria just a moment ago that it was she who helped him.

“I have been greatly blessed. thank you I will definitely repay this favor someday.”

“That’s it.”

The reply that came back was short and sneering, but Frey was not discouraged. On the contrary, he smiled.

‘Albrecht… He is obviously an extraordinary person, but in his previous life, he was killed too early by the Succubus Queen’s King Lang. There’s a creepy side to it, but I’ll save it at most in this life.’

It was because he was well aware of Albrecht’s peculiar temperament. Not focusing on meaningless things.

Maria, unaware of Frey’s feelings, took notice of Frey’s rude treatment by Albrecht. What should I do if her heart is broken, I worry in my heart.

“It’s okay, Maria. Oh and… Did you heal my wounds?”

“Ah yes. You hurt your stomach so badly… That’s why I breathed in the divine power as much as possible.”

“thank you. Was it very difficult?”

“Oh, no. No problem. This is enough for me… !”

Saying that, Maria glanced at Frey’s abdomen with a glance. It was Frey, who was pulling up his top to the pit of the stomach for treatment.

“Fortunately, I don’t think there will be any scars… But, why are you hurt? He’s fine now, but when I first met him, he was in a state where he seemed to be out of breath at any moment… .”

“Yes… uh, you don’t have to worry about that. I don’t know, but it won’t hurt anything… .”

“Hmm… All right. If the hero doesn’t want to confide in me, I’ll have to be considerate.”

Although the fact that she was hiding something from her would be disappointing, Maria didn’t pay much attention to that fact. Frey was proud of that.

Today’s Maria, that is, the daytime Maria, was not the ‘old friend’ Frey knew. She was just a young and well-learned female student, separate from the adults who had regressed through time together.

Even so, he is considerate of his opponent and does not show even the slightest bit of regret. Frey felt very mature. In fact, it was true that Maria was mentally mature compared to her peers.

“Oh and… Maria, I have a favor to ask you.”

“What?”

“Today, don’t tell anyone. Even to Maria’s closest person. Can you please?”

Clapping Maria’s hand, Frey asked with an earnest gaze. The white-haired girl nodded happily.

“Yes, because I believe in the hero.”

“thank you. Also, Maria and… I dare to ask, even Her Highness the Princess… .”

“If you want that, I have no interest in your circumstances, hero.”

“… ! thank you!”

I’m glad, he said. After hearing the two students’ answers, Frey thought involuntarily.

Until just a few hours ago, he had been walking lonely steps in pain. But now, although some are a little awkward, she is resting in a cozy room, leaning on her friend who has always been a strong support.

Even if time goes by, no, even if you go back in time.

A friend was a friend. A truly precious and valuable relationship.

At the warmth of that bond, Frey smiled heartily.

*****

The day after I went to the sunspot, beat up a suspicious guy, and had a big fight with Cheonung Stella.

Even when I got up, I grabbed my stomach, which was sore. As I woke up from bed, Aru looked at me suspiciously.

“What are you looking at, man?”

Aru, my friend who has spent the longest time with me in this life.

What a f*cking friend. No, the word friend is a waste. My hound, pet dog, mutt. Aru is just that.

“Does it hurt a lot?”

“Then do you think I’m doing this out of spite?”

“You are only human.”

“That person, if you leave later, you won’t be able to handle it either. Even now, if you’re not careful, you’ll lose?”

Shine Stella, what a scary year. What kind of bomber is each punch?

It’s not just stomach pain. The arm that allows continuous hitting is also tingling.

Still, my heart is happy. You kept your promise. What did Stella think later when she saw the bandage on her chin? Just imagining that makes me smile all the time.

Even now. I’m looking forward to it like crazy. It is all the more so because the future cannot be confirmed.

“Evans, does your head hurt?”

“Why, does it look like that?”

“Woof woof.”

“Originally, when demons get sick, my head gets a little dizzy. How sick would this be? Hey, look at this.”

Swoop-.

He pulled up his upper clothes, revealing his bruised abdomen. Aru swallowed in vain.

“It’s a demon’s body, so it’ll get better soon enough, but isn’t it terrible?”

“Ki-ing… .”

Seeing my stomach, Aru slowly approached me with her head down. Immediately, she bent down to her waist and buried her face in my belly. Aru’s tongue licked my belly.

“hey… What are you doing?”

“Beep, kiing… town.”

“Anyway, I guess it’s not a mutt.”

Um, isn’t it? Is licking a wound common to most animals, not just dogs?

Whatever it is, the important thing is that Aru is licking the wound on my stomach with utmost sincerity. When I put my hand on top of her fluffy hair, Aru closed her eyes like a kisser.

“Aru, you have something to do today.”

“Ooh, haw. What?”

“Do you smell what you smelled yesterday? That ‘guest’ smell.”

“Muh… That plain iron smell?”

“Anyway, if anyone smells like that at the academy today, tell me right away? can you do it Aruko has a wolf nose.”

“bruise.”

He may not have come to the academy. Because I’ve been beaten pretty hard in the stomach. You may be in the hospital complaining of abdominal pain by now.

But that’s fine as it is. I just need to go through the list of students and staff and find the student who didn’t show up today. If you don’t have a good feeling, you can find the cause by asking where the gun you stole yesterday was purchased from.

There are many ways. Right now, using Aru’s sense of smell is the easiest and fastest way.

Today, the schedule of Eden Academy is similar to other times. But unlike usual, during the 7th period, I will go around the academy as much as possible. take Aru. Using her sense of smell as a detection machine.

not much time given Therefore, it is necessary to allocate the space and time according to it efficiently. During the break of the 1st period, I went to the gym, during the break of the 2nd period, I looked around each classroom, and during the break of the 3rd period, I went to the dean’s office.

So, I was making an “academy investigation plan” for about a day… .

what.

“uh?”

“bruise.”

“huh?”

“Mung, are you a kid? I want you to know.”

Why, Aru’s finger, which I believed in, is pointing at the back of the hero’s blonde head?

How strange is it?
