39 – Conundrum

In the dorm room after dinner time.

-Yes. That’s how it happened

I was on the phone with Adela, which is my routine every Monday.

“… It’s true. Then when are you coming?”

-This is a secret… Actually, he said he wanted to go and see the city of Wangdo from about a day ago…

Oops.

It’s not the aberration of some kind of aristocrats.

Okay. Because the Queen is still young…

-Your Majesty didn’t go to the academy when he was young. You seem to be looking forward to it quite a bit.

That’s what they say, but that’s true of Adela as well.

The tone of his voice that seemed a bit excited earlier was probably because of that.

“That’s… That’s right. I get it. I’m looking forward to it…”

-Yes. To hear that Rai is attending the academy… It’s amazing and proud.

It’s like this again.

It’s to the point where I’m confused whether it’s my older sister or my mother.

“Sister…Don’t treat me like a child.”

-Ah. I’m sorry… My sister said something strange again…

Ugh.

I think PTSD will come because I feel like I’m seeing parents who are overprotective.

From noble mtl dot com

I’m afraid to say something…

-By the way…

Huh?

Somehow the tone of voice has changed slightly.

– You are quietly living your school life, right…?

I’ve never heard of Adela’s chilly voice.

“Huh..?”

Suddenly, goose bumps all over her body.

Of course she might really be asking if she’s doing as well in school as usual, but…

My senses were screaming.

‘It was caught.’

What is this all of a sudden…?

Where did you hear anything?

No, that can’t be the case… Where does Adela get information about her academy?

-… If that’s the case, I’m glad. There’s no way Rai would lie to his sister.

“Ugh. Yes. Of course.”

The genre suddenly changed to horror.

You seem to know something… Let’s quickly hang up.

“Huh? Neneto. What? Join the team meeting chat room?”

“???”

Neneto, who was reading a book while eating a snack, looked at him with an expression of bullsh*t.

“Ah, sister. I forgot I had a team practice meeting today. Call me back later.”

-… Yes. Call me whenever you’re free. I’ll be waiting for you.

There is something subtly terrifying until the last greeting.

I quickly hung up the phone and lay down on the bed.

‘No, why the hell did you get caught? How do i do this….’

“… His acting skills are excellent?”

“Noisy man.”

Neneto flirted with what was so interesting and chewed on the sweets before opening his mouth.

“It’s a lot of trouble being caught by my sister. I’ve been gifted with women since I was born! Very.”

“… Be quiet. I’m still disturbed.”

It’s a girl…

Besides Adela, I have a lot of problems with human relationships…

Selina or something…

Elena these days…

Huh?

‘Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Elena lately.’

As usual, I would have come to hang out from time to time during break time or frowned at the 2nd team’s chatroom because I was bored…

Recently, it was hard to see him in real life as well as in chat rooms.

What happened?

‘What. Because tomorrow is the day I have to meet the members of Team 2…’

I’ll be able to see your face tomorrow and ask you.

Let’s go to sleep.

**

The next morning.

Running through the parade ground as always.

I was sitting on a bench and waiting for the sparring with Seong Jin-ha, which has become a daily routine.

“…?”

Sung Jin-ha was walking from far away.

But the problem is.

‘Why bring that person again?’

Sung Jin-ha was not alone.

“Hello…”

A senior vampire with a noble face who has come close before you know it.

I said hello to senior Kayla.

“Oh you…”

Looking at me, he slightly widened his eyes as if he was slightly surprised.

Soon after that, he opened his mouth with a friendly smile.

“Are you the friend I met in the hallway then? How are you and Erica?”

“Yes… I’m doing well enough to overdo it…”

“hahahaha… Erica is definitely a nice girl, but she does have a bit of a tendency to tire people around her…”

So.

“What are you doing here…?”

Ah.

Senior Kaela looked at Seong Jin-ha as if he was a bit troubled.

She looked me in the eye again and opened her mouth.

“I personally want to be close to Jinha.. I said I want to exercise in the morning.

Do you work out together? If it’s not a nuisance, can I join you?”

Do you exercise together?

… Seong Jin-ha?

She turned her head and met Seong Jin-ha’s eyes.

A very troublesome expression.

She would hate it just by looking at it, but since she is related to her superior, there is no doubt that she accepted it by eating mustard while crying.

“… That’s me. Jin Ha-rang only does sparring in the morning.”

“Dalian?”

Kaela-senpai looked around her.

She muttered, “I’m sure…” And opened her mouth again.

“May I take a look?”

“If Jinha doesn’t mind, then I’m fine too.”

It doesn’t wear out just by showing it.

Seong Jin-ha also quietly prepared to go upstairs to see if he had any complaints.

… This guy has a lot of trouble too.

I would really hate to go out with someone like that.

What can I do?

No matter what, Seong Jin-ha is deeply related to the royal family.

‘…Wait.’

A royal family?

“Hey… You can’t.”

As if I thought of something, let’s aim at Seong Jin-ha.

As if he had been stabbed by something, he touched her knife for no reason and began to whine at her.

Adela’s mood changed as if she had suddenly learned something.

It is closely related to the royal family in front of you.

At the same time, my status as Adela’s disciple is the best place for Adela to ask about me.

… The puzzle is starting to come together.

“Hey, you bastard. You sold out your friend like that?”

“…You’ll get caught soon anyway, but you can’t lie to me and die with me.”

“No matter how hard it is…! Hey…”

Intense speculation boils in my heart.

Of course, even if it wasn’t for this guy, he would have been caught eventually, but in fact, he just needed someone to vent his anger on.

“Die as a victim of my wrath!”

“… What is that…!”

Without her starting signal, I ran to Sung Jin-ha and raised her sword to cut.

Seong-Jin-Ha’s sword glides on her blade.

Chang!

I changed the direction and let the attack flow.

Adela’s unique gentle swordsmanship that uses the opponent’s power.

By the way.

-Oh!!

Cheers were heard outside the stadium.

‘…?’

I turned my head.

Kaela is looking at Seong Jin-ha with bright eyes.

“…What?”

“… Ha ha.”

Sung Jin-ha’s face looks very tired. She seems to have a lot to say.

-That’s Adela’s…!

A reaction flows out every time the sword strikes.

‘No, what the hell is that?’

First of all, Dalian lightly divided about 100 sums and reached the end.

… It seems like your skills are getting more and more boiling.

There is no doubt that as my strength goes up, his swordsmanship skills also go up.

Such a damn talent…

Let’s finish the sparring and come down to the waiting room.

Is the excitement still not going away?

I could see Kayla-senpai looking this way with eyes full of heat.

You look like a girl fan who came to your favorite singer’s concert.

To be honest, I’m a bit awake.

The character of Kayla I know… Ah.

It seems that Seong Jin-ha showed vague reluctance to Kayla in the novel as well…

What was the reason…?

And it wasn’t long before I found out why.

“As expected! Adela-sama’s disciple! Adela-sama’s swordsmanship… I envy you!”

‘Ah. No way…’

Seong Jin-ha looked at me with her complex and subtle eyes.

‘This bastard.’

Kaela makes Seongjin Ha her queen. It was not because she was an escort for her

That is, her own sister, that she sent her love calls so fervently.

She just wanted to get acquainted with Seong Jin-ha, Adela’s disciple.

That is.

Kaela was a big fan of Adela.

“Yes! I’m not up to Adela-sama’s swordsmanship, but you handle the sword really well! As expected, you’re tied for first place. Are you better than the second year students?”

“Ah… Yes. Adela.”

The annoyance is already soaring.

This feels cheap…

Quietly make eye contact with Seong Jin-ha.

‘I don’t want to die alone right now?’

‘… I didn’t say anything.’

I show off as if I’m not, but I can tell now that I’ve become close to him to some extent.

This guy is now.

To me, ‘Adela’s younger brother’.

I’m trying to shoulder this troublesome burden.

Not just a burden, but a huge burden of being the prince of a country!

‘This isn’t it.’

Let’s glare with a slightly protesting eye.

Turning her head, she cast Morsoe.

“Actually, Lady Adela once saved my life in a war… I still can’t forget her back.”

“That’s… Impressive.”

“That’s right! … You seem to like Adela-sama too! I’m so glad I found a comrade. Of course, there won’t be anyone who doesn’t like Adela-sama.

It looks like you’re visiting during this martial arts competition…! I’ve never met him except when I was young… I’m so nervous.”

Please protect your character and body. Prince.

Where did you sell the kind senior character who reliably brightens the future path of your juniors?

I can’t speak harshly to the prince of my country who smiles brightly and chatters right in front of my eyes.

“Wow. That would be great.”

A reaction with no soul at all.

To the subject who is usually good at grasping the atmosphere and demonstrates leadership to lead the school year.

There is no nonsense when it comes to talking about Adela.

‘I can’t.’

I have a strong premonition that if I stay here any longer, I will get caught up in trouble.

At times like this.

“Ah. It’s already time for physical training. Erika-senpai is waiting for you, so let’s go first!”

Thirty-six worlds are the standard.

If it was the original time, it would have been time to sparring a little longer.

If I continue to stay in such a suffocating place, I think I will rather lose my muscles.

“Um… I see! Yes, see you next time! You seem to be close with Jinha, so I hope to be close with you in the future as well.”

“Yes. I would be honored if my senior treated me comfortably. Please feel free to talk to me from now on.”

“hahahaha… It’s an honor. You don’t have to worry too much about it…”

As soon as you get away from talking about Adela, you immediately return to being a friendly senior.

… This is another unusual character.

Seong Jin-ha sent an SOS with her eyes.

Because it is my philosophy not to look back at the guy who betrayed her comrades.

She quickly moved to the gym.

Of course.

Thanks to going to the gym a little earlier to avoid the hassle.

Although she had to suffer longer from Erika-senpai, who was just as annoying as him.

…If you choose one thing, you lose one thing.

This was a real challenge.
