40 – Shackles_2

Lane rarely lies.

The reason I said ‘almost’ is because Rain is also a human being, so he has told white lies.

However, you can be confident that you have never seen a single lie to cover up the truth and take care of personal gain.

The introduction to the history of warriors appeared as a required course at the Geary Academy even though the person himself said so much.

The hero’s mindset that was most emphasized there was full of words such as honesty, trust, and integrity that made the body stiffen just by hearing them.

The key here is ‘honesty’. Me and Rain, who deliberately learned the devil’s language to get information and lied even in the demon realm, lived a life that matched the word, and were still living with the mindset of such a warrior.

There were too many thoughts. That’s right, he declared that he had put the shackles on me with his proud attitude and undisturbed wave of magical power. Honestly, sincerely.

This was not an easy situation for me, who prides herself on being shameless in her own way.

“shackles?”

“Yeah. Fetters…it’s nothing grandiose to say.”

Lane says that as she touches the back of my hand – something that is attached to it. So I’d like you to tell me what this is.

“Ron, you know I care a lot about my colleagues, right?”

“It would be strange not to know.”

“The colleague I had a conversation with as if he would never disappear again has not been heard from me for a long time. You must have been anxious, right? There was no word from the colleague whom I accidentally reunited with for two days, 14 hours and 52 minutes. He was probably outside the border. I’m sure you were worried?”

I wanted to ask why I was memorizing the time zone perfectly, but because of the situation, I obediently lowered my head slightly.

“Yes. It was my fault. I’m sorry.”

“theory.”

I felt like I was choking on the name one letter. For some reason, it feels like Lane’s hand gently caressing the back of my hand is placed around my neck.

“I think it’s better to show it directly than to say sorry. Especially since you have a precedent.”

“hahahaha.. I won’t do that anymore..”

“theory.”

name again.

I feel the pressure as if Lane’s hands are gripping my neck.

“It’s your fault too. If you had told me just once, I would have been relieved.

“Ah. That’s right. Mi..”

“So I guess I’d better just keep an eye on it myself. You’re like a cat. You don’t tell me when, where, how, or why you leave.”

The wave of her magical power was calm like a calm lake. Calmly telling the bloody words of spying on people conveys the feeling of just conveying the truth.

“..surveillance?”

“Yes. It’s an object that delivers information about where the person it’s attached to is directly to my brain. Until now, I haven’t used it because it seems against my will… Knowing where you are is more important than my will, isn’t it? “

“That’s right. You’re not that kind of person. At least I don’t think the Lane Guard-On I know was like this.”

“Ron. The world has changed a lot, you know? Rivers and mountains have changed so much, how can people not change?”

“Rain. You’re a bit unstable right now. Let’s take a deep breath. Take a deep breath. Now breathe…”

“Don’t worry, Ron. I’m calm right now.”

Lane lets go of my hand and starts staring at me. Her blue eyes are automatically pictured in my head.

The hand goes up slightly.

And Lane grabbed my hand.

“I’m doing it because I’m worried. It’s not my jurisdiction where you go and what you do. You’re a free person by nature. I don’t intend to confine you like anyone else. Just, as long as I know where you are, that’s enough. I can follow you. “

A rain guard on following me? I don’t know what kind of profit comes from such an act, but I nodded my head. My senses were quick to insist on getting out of here.

“..so, never take it off.”

It was only after I agreed to Lane’s almost commanding words one last time that she let me go.

I guess I’ll have to put off what I was going to say a little later.

..

“..would you like to have lunch together?”

As usual, he passed the lecture time with bruises.

It was fun at first, but the more you go, the less fun it gets.

Once you’ve lost interest, you’ve lost interest, and now you just count the time on your own or pass the time with meaningless thoughts like street animals.

“Would you like to have lunch together?”

It was a bad choice not to tell Lane my business. Since we are in the same academy, there will be many opportunities, but I can’t erase the judgment that it would have been better to tell it when I remembered it.

Lane will surely realize that he went too far. It’ll be just right for a day or so.

Since that day, facing Lane was a little burdensome, so I think it would have been perfect to say it at that time. The more I think about it, the sadder it is.

“..Mr. Bandage, lunch..”

“Priercil? Why are you talking to him?”

“Uh… Huh? That’s…”

One way might be to tell Solar first. Because Solar is also a person in a fairly high position.

Come to think of it, I think I forgot something. What was it? Mana Stone… I think it was something related to the Mana Stone…

“So sorry for today. I wanted to talk to you because I was a fellow colleague.”

“As expected, Priersil is kind.. The chief and the people are also nice… Anyway, okay! Work hard!”

“..Phew… Mr. Bandage? Why do you keep ignoring me?”

Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Odrox. It was a bit nice to see Lian suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

That said, I don’t have any intention of having a party again, contacting each other, or anything like this.

“Mr. Bandage!”

“..Huh? Huh? Why are you next to me?”

“It’s been a while.”

“Hey, I’m sorry. Move over?”

She shook her head hurriedly when I said that because it reminded me of the kids who went to school with Priercil before.

“Ah.. no! I have something to say to Bandage-san today.. while having a meal together..”

Somehow, it seems that he is embarrassed to lower his head and fidget with his index finger. Was it my mistake to growl to eat me? It seems like something has changed a lot.

So you want to eat together? It doesn’t matter.

As usual, I was going to have lunch with food from the canteen and eat here and there in the academy.

“Where are you going to eat?”

“It’s just, the cafeteria…?”

“Is there such a thing?”

“Ah… if you don’t like it…”

Was there a cafeteria? Presumably knowing that I wanted to ask, as an intention of refusal, Priersil began to glance at me as if looking at me.

“Let’s go. I’m curious.”

“Have you never been?”

“I didn’t even know it was there?”

“Ah.. yes! Then please follow me!”

This attitude is unacceptable. Among the academy cadets, my image was something below the abyss.

After all, it was a meal at the academy run by Lane. It is certain that a sumptuous dinner will be served. Even if you spend some money, you should try it once.

I stepped into the restaurant while answering Priersil’s chatter.

‘Aren’t you listening?’ It seemed that his lips came out a little, so he asked for it roughly, and he said that he liked it again.

Is this really the senior in my memory?

“So, is the restaurant food worth eating?”

When I asked that question while thinking about the meal that felt like home-cooked meals in the dormitory, Priersil made an ambiguous gesture.

“..Umm.. so.. you can feel the vividness of the scene..!”

“What bullshit are you talking about?”

“So… meals at the academy cafeteria are cheap, and the quality of the ingredients is good…”

“Isn’t that nice?”

“Should I say it feels like eating while camping in a labyrinth..”

The feeling came right away. I must say it feels like honeydew porridge. Somehow, for some reason, there was no one inside the restaurant.

“That… I’m sorry… if you don’t like it right now, go outside for a while…”

“Can’t we go outside?”

“Yes? Didn’t you say anything like that?”

uh? Then what was the prion quarreling about then? Was it just that I didn’t want to see it?

“In the first place, the class itself is organized autonomously, but you shouldn’t be banned from going outside. Since the dean is Mr. Grein, there are no strict school rules.”

Saying that, Priersil bought a meal ticket as usual and started pouring food into a bowl. I followed her and slowly put the food.

Because it is a deep bowl, the ingredients that are simply cooked start to mix.

Oh.. This smell really reminds me of memories.

I’m not the type to choose food, but isn’t there a saying that what looks good tastes better?

He took a seat at an empty table. There were no people anyway, so the seats were empty.

Friersil scooped up a bowl of rice that reminded him of that memory – mixed at random – and put it into his mouth.

You are truly an adventurer in nature.

..

silence.

Why did you ask to eat together?

I’m deliberately holding back my words to fit in with Priersil’s conversation, but the lady in the seat in front of me is too silent. It seems like an adventurer right before starvation eats to live by simply pushing in the rice.

He must have called me to talk about something, but since he only opens his mouth to eat, he gets a little frustrated and only sips water.

“Didn’t you ask to eat together to talk about something?”

“..Kuhhhhh..”

“What are you so surprised about… Now, drink some water.”

“Huh? D.. Bandages? Are you eating here?”

“Ah. Professor Solar.”

Saying that, the moment I was about to hand over the water I was drinking, I heard a familiar voice that seemed really puzzled.

“Good. Can we sit together?”

While saying that, he sat down without permission and pushed the bowl into his mouth.

“..Professor, do you eat something like this?”

“What is this? Did you think I was this kind of person after cutting steak? I lived an adventurer’s life too. Son.”

While saying that, he placed his hand on my hair and tousled it randomly. There was something cute about the way he stretched out his arms, but he didn’t bring it to his mouth. I almost got burned at the stake for saying it carelessly the other day.

“Cool.. Kuk.. Kyo.. Gk.. Cool..”

Priercil hurries to say something, but gets agitated again and starts coughing.

“Drink water. Water.”

“..what are you doing?”

“Yes? Are you giving me water? It seems like you’ve been caught.”

“..please give me too.”

“Water? First of all…”

Solar’s magic waves are disturbed. I don’t know why, but I think I’m full of anger. No, no matter who sees it, the person who heard it first.

“[Yeomdong] [Suwon]”

Sola pulls a cup from far away and starts filling it with magic.

Solar, who confirmed that the cup was filled with water that was cleaner than any other drinking water, pushed the flowing liquid into the place of the prior room.

Priersil bowed her head as if it was okay, and began to drink the water in one gulp.

Are they taking care of me as a senior? nice to see anyway Solaro is now a professor.

Thinking so, I tried to turn the water back to its original position, but Solar held out her hand to me.

“Give me some water.”
