A Veteran of the Hero Academy

Chapter 38

As I was burying my head in my pillow in excruciating shame, someone knocked on the door with a familiar rhythm.

Where did you hear that rhythm?

“who are you”

He cleared his throat and answered.

“This is Hyejin, the vice president of the student body. May I come in?”

A high-pitched voice was heard outside the door.

He’s here again.

“No! Don’t come in! Go back!”

I screamed out loud like a teenage boy to the outside of the door.

I don’t want to see anyone now.

Regardless of my explicit communication, the door opened with a bang.

If that’s the case, why did you ask?

I pulled up the blanket that was covering it for nothing.

The door opened and the face I hated the most came in. Luke, the student council president, ranked No.

Luke approached me, looking at me with a slightly annoyed look. Luke, who was standing next to the bed, exhaled slightly and looked at me with cold eyes.

“I’m glad you’re feeling fine.”

Contrary to words, Luke’s eyes were cold.

“Yeah, what.”

“It’s been a while. Aiden.”

Hyejin stood next to Luke and spoke to me. Hyejin bowed her head and bowed in greeting.

Luke looked at Hyejin like that and continued talking.

“I’m here to get a detailed statement on this case. I heard you’re hospitalized at the church because of your injuries…”

Luke, who looked at me once more, continued.

“Now that I look at it, that doesn’t seem to be the case.”

“Ah, Sister Andrea took good care of her. If you look here, you can see the scratches…”

I showed my shoulders to prove that I was sick, but thanks to Andrea’s skillful workmanship, I boasted of my flawless skin. You have to leave a little scar so I won’t be sorry.

“Yeah, well, that would be a good thing. If you have the time, please give me a statement about the specific incident.”

Luke said as he sat down on the chair a little rough.

What the f*ck is ‘that must be lucky’?

dog thick.

I still haven’t forgotten the grudge against the pork I didn’t eat because of that chick.

If we fight now, I think I’ll win, but should I grab it and defeat it?

I don’t put up with guys weaker than me.

‘It seems a little vague’

Is not it? It’s a bit vague.

I clenched my fist under the blanket and smoked it, then changed my mind and answered.

“How about a statement…?”

“You can tell me from the beginning of the case to the end. How you were kidnapped together with the princess, whether there were any problems in it, information about the culprit, etc.”

Hyejin took out a notebook and pen from Luke’s side and started writing something down.

He glanced at Luke’s face, not the expression he really wanted to hear, and began to explain.

Since probability is important to the story, we started with how tasteless the cathedral soup was.

So I decided to eat outside, and as I walked out, a young man with fried ale buds called me.

After diligently explaining the taste of fried ale buds for a long time, he met Kate and said that he had been kidnapped.

“Wait a minute. Why did you explain so hard about the taste of cathedral soup and fried ale buds?”

Luke asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

No, he still doesn’t understand the taste of fried ale buds.

Feeling stuffy, I once again explained the fantastic taste of fried ale buds.

Hyejin, who was next to Luke, said along with a small Alebird.

“Okay. Let’s move on to the next one.”

Luke frowned and gestured. A handsome bastard looks good even if he frowns.

I wanted to explain it one more time to Luke, who still didn’t understand the fantastic taste of the ale bud, but Luke’s hardened face just moved on to the next one.

Next, he diligently explained the story of the kidnapping and how he was rescued, using his hands and feet. Of course, he didn’t talk about what happened with Kate.

When I finished explaining, I could only hear Hyejin writing in the room.

“So it’s just that we were caught together by accident.”

“Yes. That bird… no, if it wasn’t for the princess, I would have been eating delicious fried ale buds.”

While talking, I pressed the curse word that came out involuntarily and said.

“Once I get it. Did you write it all down?”

“Yes, Chairman.”

Hyejin replied politely.

“Oh, and you remember what I said, right?”

Luke, who was getting up from his seat, said awkwardly, pretending to wake up. That bastard must have been thinking to himself.

Oh, keep your distance from that Luna.

“Yeah, I remember something.”

But it has nothing to do with my will. Go to Luna and tell her.

Luke’s eyes grew cold at my vague answer. Luke tapped his thigh with his finger.

“I said this for Ms. Aiden. I believe there is no need to say any more painfully.”

Looking down at me, Luke added a small ‘according to their subject’ and left the room at a steady pace.

Hyejin tried to follow Luke out of the room, but stopped and looked at me again.

“As I said before, if you need my help, please let me know.”

Hyejin waved her right arm as if holding something.

“I’ve become quite proficient by reading the book.”

With an expressionless face, Hyejin added a little, ‘Of course, it’s still in practice’.

what do you mean crazy

I pulled up the blanket a little more.

“Then I’ll go too. I wish you well.”

Hyejin followed Luke and went out.

I hope that door doesn’t open again today.

please.

***

I’m hungry.

It was getting closer to evening.

Tired of lying in bed, I got up and wandered around the room blankly.

Shall we go out for a walk?

You have to eat church soup that has no taste again.

smart.

I opened the door a little nervously at the sound of a knock from the room.

please be normal please.

Luna stood quietly in front of the door.

Why are you knocking again?

“Ah… hello! It’s a coincidence!”

With a slightly recalled face, Luna started making another random stroke.

Well, that’s the room I was in. Do you just like the word coincidence?

“Yeah, that’s right.”

It was a little funny that I got used to Luna like that.

When I first saw it, I got goosebumps, but now I’m just a little surprised.

“Let’s go have dinner with me! I know Aiden’s favorite restaurant!”

Luna clasped her hands in front of her and said with a blushing face.

I wondered how the heck I knew my favorite restaurant, but Luna decided to move on because it was normal to be weird.

Church soup without taste and delicious rice bought by a crazy woman.

I was wondering which of the two to choose.

Still, the cathedral soup was not very tasty.

“Yeah, let’s go.”

Luna nodded her head in response to my answer and smiled brightly.

Luna held out a small hand to me, and I took it familiarly.

He closed his eyes as he felt Luna’s warm warmth in his hands.

The moment we opened our eyes again, we were on our way to the market.

It’s an incredibly comfortable ability.

‘The boy has no talent for magic.’

I know.

“This way!”

Luna lightly dragged my hand like that and walked excitedly.

The market was still lively.

In between, I walked hard with Luna.

Although Luna held my hand tight as she walked, she often turned back to make sure I was following her.

Each time, I laughed out loud. Then Luna smiled brightly and walked again.

The restaurant that we arrived at by Luna’s hand was a high-end restaurant with a completely different feel from the last time.

The restaurant had a luxurious feel to the point that I was reluctant to enter it.

I think it would be expensive and awkward.

I sniffed to see if my body stinks for nothing.

Unlike me, Luna was accustomed to opening the restaurant door and entering.

As I followed Luna, I saw the sparkling interior of the restaurant.

The interior was decorated entirely in gold, and a large chandelier with various jewels hung from the ceiling of the dining room.

How much is that chandelier?

At the entrance, we were greeted by a man dressed in a black suit and a handsome mustache.

“Welcome to the ‘Golden Butterfly’ restaurant.”

The man greeted us with a low-pitched voice that matched his appearance.

The man who was looking at Luna with favorable eyes turned his head and saw me, his face hardened slightly.

what about me For nothing, I frowned a little.

“Special room. Two A courses.”

Luna did not even look at the man and dragged me inside.

“Yes? All right. This way…”

The man was bewildered and asked Luna, and then immediately resumed speaking.

The man tried to show him the room, but Luna walked without hesitation as if she was familiar with the interior of the restaurant.

“… This is a private room where you can enjoy your meal quietly.”

In the end, a strange situation unfolded, where we entered the room before the men, and the men followed and explained.

The room was large enough for ten people to dine.

There was a large round table in the center of the room, and a small chandelier hung from the ceiling shining brightly.

On the wall were pictures that were difficult to understand but looked luxurious.

I feel like this is going to be a bit expensive.

I thought as I watched Luna snap her fingers and pull out the chair.

…does he have any money?

“Then have a good time.”

Seeing Luna using magic, the man hurriedly greeted and left.

Luna dragged me to the chair and sat me down.

Then, even though there were many chairs, I dared to put a chair right next to me.

If this is the case, then there is no reason to sit at the big table.

Luna, who was sitting next to me, lay down on the desk and looked at my face and shook her head.

It felt good to see him hum quietly until his hum.

He stroked Luna’s hair like that and waited for food.

Soon, women in maid clothes came in and started putting food on the desk.

Luna was just staring at my face to see if she wasn’t interested in food.

The man who guided us also followed and stood by the table.

“Then let me explain. This food feels grass and freedom in the meadow….”

The man next to me started explaining the food one by one.

The food is just food, and I had to listen to the explanation, but I didn’t bother with it because it was the man’s job.

After the explanation in a pleasant voice, the man politely greeted and left.

I first cut the meat that looked the most delicious.

Even if there was food in front of me, Luna was just staring at me.

Yes, because he lives.

I fed Luna with a piece of cut meat.

Luna, who put the meat in her mouth, trembled and liked it.

There were also a few tears in his eyes.

Is it so delicious?

When I put the cut meat in my mouth, it really melted.

Wow- what kind of meat is this?

The meat was so delicious that I wanted to call the man again and ask him about it.

Even though he has hands, he occasionally feeds Luna, who never eats alone, and eats food without hesitation.

Dogs are really tasty.

I’ll never eat that cathedral-f*cking soup again.

He stroked Luna once more, who gave her such delicious food.

If I ate more, I ate until my stomach exploded, and then I got up.

After I finished eating, I felt a little uneasy.

“Do you have any money?”

“money?”

As if to say something, Luna opened her eyes and asked.

“This is the price of food.”

The feeling of insecurity grew stronger.

“…Why pay for food? I don’t have any money. I gave it all to Aiden then!”

Luna smiled brightly, showing her empty hands to me as if she was in a good mood.

Did you give it all away without leaving any money for yourself? Then what the hell were you living on after that?

I hurriedly checked my pocket.

Fortunately, I had quite a bit of money left in my pocket, which I was excited to bring with me.

It looks expensive, but it should be enough.

It was the money Luna gave, but it was a waste for nothing.

How many fried ale buds for this money…

“Are you going to make more money? You can make anything you want!”

Luna asked, hanging on my arm.

What does he think of money?

I don’t know what Luna meant by making more money, but it certainly wasn’t a good feeling.

“No. I still have the money Luna gave me back then, so it’s okay.”

I stroked Luna’s head that was attached to my arm to calm her down.

When I came out and paid for it, there were only a few coins left.

Still, I’m glad I was able to pay all the money.

I was so full that I walked to the market with Luna to digest it.

“That’s right! Let’s have one more drink!”

“I pay all the drink today!!!”

“I have to go out of the capital tomorrow! Well, it’s a hit!”

Listening to the noisy conversations around me, I walked around with Luna, who was clinging to my arm.

Luna walked, looking at me as if she had no interest in the people around her.

How can you walk like that and not fall?

“I’m selling ale buds!!”

“Wow Ale Bird is so cute really!”

An interesting conversation was heard.

That delicious ale bud?

He was obviously full, but out of curiosity, he went to the side where the conversation was heard.

“Beep-ik!”

A cute, round, yellow creature was wandering around on the stall.

A large number of women were standing around him, watching, and the women reacted to Ale Bird’s movements by babbling over and over again.

Oh, what a cute and delicious looking creature.

My stomach was already full, but the thought of fried ale buds made my mouth salivate involuntarily.

“why?”

Luna asked, pulling me slightly, looking at Ale Bird.

If I say it looks delicious here, would it look too strange?

“Um… no, because Ale Bird is so cute.”

I turned around and swallowed the saliva in my mouth silently.

In response to my reply, Luna carefully observed the wandering ale birds. With Luna, who was constantly observing the Ale Birds, I toured the market a little more, and then returned to the academy.

Luna took me to my dorm room, not to the church I stayed in.

Also, my room is comfortable.

It feels like a long time coming.

Luna sat down on my bed with no intention of going back.

I left Luna like that and went to take a shower.

After a long time in the shower, I returned to my room with a full of refreshment.

Then Luna squatted on the floor and looked at me.

Why is he doing that on the floor?

Luna’s serious expression made her nervous for nothing.

What else is he trying to do?

Luna saw me as I entered and walked back and forth with her feet to the side.

why are you here
