66 – Short Time(Complete)

“…The priests of the moon are still unmoved in the north…The movements of the demons on the eastern front are quiet as usual. ..It’s an unusual day.”

Graffias, who was looking through the paper, muttered and opened the next page. Waking up early in the morning and collecting the information brought by the investigators was the beginning of the day.

She drank a cup of coffee from her mug that was placed on her desk to wake her up in the morning. The coffee in her mug was bubbling, so thick that she believed it was poison when I said it.

She emptied a cup of it casually and started working again, trying to finish her work by eating a simple breakfast brought by her ladies-in-waiting.

Until I read the last chapter.

“…The origin of the rumor about the boy who killed the lower level demons, it turned out to be the Viscount Fios family’s vassal territory. Additional investigations are scheduled for the boy… I remember that the Fios family had an only son. ..”

Hitting her temples and frowning, she took out a small piece of paper and wrote a simple note.

[Investigate the number of down feathers of the eldest son of the Fios family.]

Her point, which has been in charge of a lot of information, stabbed her in the head. She gently closed her eyes and wandered in her head about the Fios family until she found no information.

As if it was retribution for neglecting information about other clans, her headache came and she drank the poisonous coffee.

Because of the cold weather, she took a bite of her coffee, which was easy to drink, and then got up and went up to the roof of her mansion with a note she had written.

The place where she moved her steps, shrinking her body in the chilly air of the morning when the sun had risen sharply after dawn, was a small single room located on the roof.

When I opened the door to the single room, I heard the unique cry of a pigeon. Dozens of doves in cages were all pigeons of the Scorpio family.

Grafias, who was looking around the room with narrow red eyes, reached out to one of the cages and opened the door.

She could have left in search of freedom, but as if waiting for an order, she came out of the cage and quietly stood by the window of the single room.

After masterfully tying the memo to his leg, he grabbed both wings and threw them outside, and it was a dove that took off with a flurry of flapping wings.

“I don’t know if I’ll need to investigate other families at this opportunity. Especially in quiet places where there was no reaction when the demons formed a frontline… Hatch!”

She sneezed as she gazed at the flying dove and her eyes full of determination.

“…It’s cold…”

Since she was only in her room, the chilly wind penetrated her bones and made her body tremble as she moved on.

“It’s dangerous outside the blanket…Let’s do it later…”

She was afraid that her weak body might catch a cold. She quickly stepped down to her rooftop and fell into the blanket.

It was a time when winter left behind its tail and spring slowly entered its face. Thanks to the warm sunlight compared to the chilly wind, it was a season when it was not necessary to wear thick clothes.

Even when the wind was not blowing, she was letting her know that winter was passing, to the extent that she would take shelter in the shade as the sun would sting her skin.

The lady was sparring with Mr. Roland in the weather that made me think the frog might wake up from hibernation.

As part of her daytime routine during this vacation, the lady who had been training with her family’s servants was full of spleen on her face.

A sparring with a spear I wasn’t used to. In her first sparring with Mr. Roland, who had a good understanding of spears in his family, the young lady was helpless.

Since then, Mr. Roland had to deal with her opponent until she won once, and she has been sparring for over a week now.

The characteristics of Mr. Roland’s spear are speed and accuracy.

Her peculiar steps are speedy, and she moves in unison with the spear, and her tongue sticks out at the accuracy of piercing the gaps she sees without mercy.

She was a picky person even during her training as a servant, and when she picked up the same spear, she was a person she didn’t want to deal with.

Of course, the person I hated the most was the butler.

He doesn’t look at me.

A lady who wields a wooden sword, unlike the great sword she usually uses. Since the midterm exams at the academy, he has been using a normal sword instead of a greatsword, and has fought evenly against Nefeli.

Would his appearance have been different if he had used a greatsword? Considering the movements of Mr. Roland and the lady using the great sword, Mr. Roland was still at a 6, and the lady was 4, still at a disadvantage.

However, due to the insistence of the lady who did not use a greatsword, this sparring ended with Mr. Roland’s accurate stabbing in the shoulder.

Two people breathing heavily. Not to mention the young lady, Mr. Roland was also in a state where her stamina was consumed considerably while swinging her spear while avoiding her sword.

“Thank you for your hard work, lady. Still, it was a more severe attack than yesterday.”

“Thank you. It’s the first time I’ve seen Roland sweating so much, so I don’t think he’s lying.”

I came out to the side of the two people who were shaking off their clothes that ate dirt from moving a lot, and Mr. Ruitena approached with a towel and water to drink.

“I’m having a hard time with Mr. Roland, so don’t be too discouraged, lady.”

“…Didn’t you get discouraged? Could you please stop making your own conclusions?”

As he pretended to hit him with a wooden sword, he slightly dodged and wiped the girl’s sweat. From her wet hair to her forehead and nape, she lightly wiped it off with a towel as if applying makeup, and she made a dissatisfied expression.

“I still feel bad…”

“Before Dalian, she asked Christine to prepare her bath, so it should be ready by now.”

“No…I don’t want to wash yet…”

Then what do you want… Mr. Roland and Mr. Louis Thena were talking about spears, and he approached her and pulled her fingers around the neck of her clothes, showing her inner flesh and whispering.

“…The inside is uncomfortable…”

“So if you wash…”

“Clean it up.”

Please, lady… Should I say it’s fortunate that the holes in the clothes are so small that you can’t see below the collarbone. Seeing the two people talking in the middle of the day, he quickly wiped them away.

I wondered if winter had come again because I felt cold. She did this far, but she didn’t look satisfied.

“…My back is uncomfortable.”

“You can just wash it off. It’s troublesome if you keep embarrassing yourself.”

“It seems like we don’t care anyway…”

“…Is that what you’re talking about? Go and wash up.”

“I think you might catch a cold if it cools down.”

“It won’t catch if you wash it.”

I’m not even sure. As I tried to find a way out and refuted, he glared at me and kicked my calf vigorously.

“Oops!”

“Wouldn’t it be better if I wiped it off?!”

As usual today, my calf was sacrificed.

#

“I can hear everything.”

“That’s right. Just wiping it will make it worse.”

Roland and Luitena secretly looked at Europa and Sirius once while touching their throats, and had a conversation.

Roland, who had seen the two of them since they were running around the mansion, smiled as he saw Sirius grabbing the beaten calf and Europa walking toward the mansion with furious steps.

“It must be hard being around my lady and our little butler.”

From noble mtl dot com

“I’m not talking about it. Really, once I saw two people looking at each other and I saw honey dripping, so I ran out of the room pretending to have something going on.”

“hahahahaha, enough honey is still dripping. How bad was that?”

“Hey, don’t say anything. The lady is going to wash up, so I’ll go help you.”

Roland nodded at her words and sent him to her mansion before looking at Sirius who was sitting hesitantly.

She still thinks she hasn’t been caught, but she didn’t think the corners of her mouth would go up and down from her mouth, which she had been watching since she was wiping around her neck.

“Oh, how did the little butler get slapped on the calf by the lady?”

She laughed and teased her, and it was he who brushed off the dust from her and sighed as she stood up.

“…It’s personal with the lady.”

“Did you ask me to wipe your back or something?”

“No.”

Contrary to her firm words, she couldn’t make eye contact with her, so she stroked her hair.

To her, who had seen her since he couldn’t speak, her Sirius was like her younger brother. She was worried because there were times when she felt like she had lost her soul through major incidents twice, but she felt proud because she showed various emotions while spending time with Europa.

“…Stop petting me. I’m all grown up.”

“You’re still a child in my eyes. Aren’t you still shorter than me?”

The difference in height between her average adult male height and his still-growing figure was half a head difference between her. They say that if a year ago he was tall enough to reach her shoulders, now he was up to her nose, but he was still short.

“It’s because I’m still growing.”

“That’s why you look like a child. Talk about it louder.”

“Haa…”

Seeing her sighing, I stroked her hair again as if I was having fun, and headed to her mansion together.

“It seems that you are not in the northern part. Yesterday, on the full moon day, Luna-sama finally gave me a revelation. She said that I should go to Nova Academy in the capital.”

She sat in the woods of the county and swallowed a short sigh as she preached to her party in a still stiff tone.

Before long, the fairy with long hair and eyes sitting across from her opened her mouth.

“I could barely hear Luna-sama’s revelation, but I wasted too much time here. I have to go quickly.”

“Yes, there is no time to delay. We must help him who has not yet found his identity.”

Everyone nodded at those words, and the subtle magic of moonlight flowed out of their bodies. Soon, the pointy ears turned into round ones like normal people, and the snow-white skin changed to a lively apricot color.

After confirming each other’s appearance, even the hair color changed, they were the ones who came over to the capital using the portal of the county. Unlike the North, they were clearly visible, so it was a drunken action.

For those living in the north, it was their first trip to the capital, but they were able to come to Nova Academy by asking and asking the kind people of the empire.

But.

“Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Please present your pass or invitation.”

They were perplexed and did not know what to do when they were stopped by soldiers standing in front of the academy’s main gate.

“Please. He is a very important person to us. If you help me to see him, I will never forget this favor and will definitely repay you in the future.”

She, who is the shortest among the group standing in front of her, bowed down and asked.

But who are they? Since the saintess, the symbol of the Church of the Holy Ghost, was kicked out, of course they were not allowed to enter.

‘…If this happens, even by force…’

As the taller of her party whispered to her party so that her soldiers could not hear, the shortest of them shook her head at him.

Because I knew at least that if I caused a commotion, we might meet forever. Even so, they couldn’t go inside until the end, so it was a situation where dissatisfaction erupted among the party.

“I’m sorry. I misdirected you and made you come this way.”

Everyone turned their heads at the beautiful woman’s voice. When Saint Magellan, with her silver hair and silver eyes, appeared, the priests of the moon and the others looked at them in surprise.

“Saintess…Did you do this because we didn’t let you in last time?”

“Ahahahaha, I was supposed to see it from around here, but I think these people mistook it for inside. I’m sorry.”

Since the soldier who had been caught on her knee by Magellan was on her duty, her heart burned. Then she hit the ground and her face blushed at the memory of her luck, but hurriedly approached her of her short stature and whispered to her:

“Follow me. The person you are looking for is not here.”

“Who are you to tell us who we are looking for?”

“Sirius, right?”

She nodded in surprise at her words, and Magellan drew her arm, introducing herself as a starlight saint.

“Let’s talk here for now, so please follow me.”

Entering a corner of an alley where soldiers could not see, Magellan sighed and brought up her story.

“Whoa…We can talk about it here. More than that, I don’t think they’re forest fairies…”

If she was the forest fairy who sent the letter herself, she would not have to hide herself in the capital. She nodded her head as she spoke, seeing their true face through the magic of the moon shining in her silver eyes.

“Yes, we are snow fairies. How did you know we were coming?”

“Stella urgently asked me to help you all yesterday. She asked me to help you not get lost. I was also behind on work, so I hurried out.”

“Thanks be to the god of starlight. Then where shall we turn?”

“Sirius is currently on vacation, so he’s not at the academy, but at the Taurus family’s estate. If there’s a map, I’ll show it to you.”

“I almost got into trouble. Thank you for your help, Lady of the Starlight. This grace…”

Respectfully, she bowed her head, and as all her party bowed, Magellan swayed her hands to stop them.

“Ah, it’s okay, it’s okay. I just listened to Stella-sama’s story and put it into practice. I hope there will be good news from the Taurus family.”

“Thank you for such a great help.”

But even Magellan overlooked a fact. In a few days, she will know that the academy’s vacation is over and that Sirius will be returning to the academy.

They didn’t even know that fact and headed for the Taurus family’s territory.

Even though the moonlight of the full moon, which was close to full moon, was caught between the clouds and illuminated the academy.
