42 – After It’s Over

The last day of the retreat was a break and free time.

After putting the monsters released for the retreat back in, the island was no different from a resort, so the students were in the middle of looking around the island they couldn’t see because they were rushing around.

“Can’t move yet?”

Everyone was enjoying the rest of the last day, but Lucy was not.

“Yes. The saintess said that you should rest for a few days because you worked too hard for a short period of time.”

It was because of Kyle, who was still lying in bed.

She took advantage of when Veronica hadn’t woken up yet, and she tried to go out as much as she hadn’t been together in the meantime…….

“Yes. Then she is resting well.”

Whew.

I’m sorry, but what can I do?

Kyle’s health comes first.

When Lucy, who was sitting next to her bed, showing off her disappointment, tried to leave, Kyle grabbed Lucy with hasty words.

“Oh, Lucy.”

“Huh? Why?”

Lucy, who was about to leave, turned around.

Are you trying to wake up?

Despite not expecting that kind of expectation, Kyle scratched her cheek and pointed at her sword lying next to the bed.

“Sword…… It was good. Thank you.”

“Oh, the sword.”

How should I respond to that gratitude?

She’s a gift from Adele, and she’s a gift, so should she tell him to thank her?

After thinking for a while, Lucy laughed awkwardly.

“That’s what Adele gave me.”

When she heard that, Kyle’s expression hardened.

“Adele?”

“Yeah, what did you mean by apology?”

Lucy felt uneasy at Kyle’s gaze at the sword in a meaningful way, but she didn’t say anything.

It’s like Adele’s gift to him, because she doesn’t care what Kyle does.

“…… Okay.”

It was only after Kyle, who had been keeping her mouth shut for a while, that Lucy turned around and left her infirmary.

Kyle didn’t say what to do with the sword, but her confidence that she wouldn’t see it from tomorrow disturbed her heart.

Although, it’s something she intended to present, but Adele gave it to her, so it could be, and I don’t care.

“Ha ha.”

That’s how Lucy walked the island without deciding on her destination.

From noble mtl dot com

I’ve been to a hot and humid place once, so let’s go to a place where the cold wind blows to cool our head.

When I was walking with my hands in my pockets and kicking things rolling on the floor while thinking about those useless thoughts.

Took…… Took.

The gravel that Lucy was kicking and rolling around came to a halt after being hit by someone’s feet.

And Lucy, who was walking with her head on the ground, also bumped into something on his back and knocked him on the butt.

She lifted her head, rubbing her throbbing ass.

“Oh, sorry…… Adele?”

It was Adele who just popped out of the corner.

Unsurprisingly, he looked down at her Lucy and held out her hand.

Is this correct Lucy? She doubted, but took hold of her outstretched hand, and then Adele pulled her hand and gently lifted her up.

Then she let out a sigh of relief that I couldn’t understand.

“I’m glad you weren’t seriously injured.”

On her way to her infirmary to check Kyle’s condition, she ran into Lucy, who came out of there normally, so she noticed that Kyle was fine, so she muttered.

Obviously, Lucy didn’t know that.

‘Good luck?’

Lucy, who heard those words muttered in a small voice today with exceptionally sharp ears, thought about what the meaning of those words was.

But there wasn’t much to think about with that statement.

‘I’m glad I wasn’t hurt?’

That’s all I can think of.

Lucy stared at Adele as she brushed off the dust.

“What does it look like?”

However, this guy’s attitude doesn’t seem like he’s worried about himself.

The arrogant look at him with his chin up and that stern tone were evidence of that.

“When did I say I screwed up?”

“Aren’t you trying to flirt?”

“I’m trying to flirt because you asked me why.”

“So you said you screwed up after all, so I’m right.”

“I didn’t say a word, really. Yes you are good Are you okay?”

Lucy, who had a snowball fight with Adele squinting his eyes, jerked his head away.

And I was about to move on to go the way I was going.

“…… ?”

Isn’t she going back the same way that Adele, who had been taking the single road to her infirmary just a moment ago, had turned her steps back?

Adele just wanted to go back now that she had made sure that Kyle was okay, but Lucy took it differently.

“What, why are you following me?”

“The paths only overlap.”

“Just a little while ago…… Hey, let’s not say no.”

Lucy, wondering if there was a need for a tiring haggling, walked forward slightly.

As I was walking along a quiet forest road with no people around, a thought suddenly came to my mind.

It was nothing special, it was about what happened yesterday.

“Come to think of it, are you thankful for yesterday?”

As Lucy walked lightly with her hands behind her back, she spat out the words indifferently, as if it didn’t matter whether she listened or not.

In the past, just saying thank you to Adele made me feel like I was getting goose bumps all over my body, but now it’s not to that extent.

It was a change that fits the saying that the first time is difficult, the second time is easy.

“What happened.”

“Why is that? Yesterday, when the kids were throwing trash and making a fuss, you stopped them.”

“Oh, that.”

Adele, who followed, replied as if she was not mistaken.

“I just came forward because it was the same as what the professor said or what the pig said to me.”

“Oh, yes.”

Am I telling you to believe that?

I don’t know why he said thank you, but he didn’t ask me about it, saying, “It’s not like that.”

With the conversation cut off like that, he was walking through a forest full of the smell of grass.

Puuu too famous livingparos?

A sound from far away.

Lucy heard the noise and turned his head in the direction he came from.

Colorful pillars of light were soaring toward the sky from the sea seen through the wooden pillars.

And.

Puuong——!

The fireworks exploded like a dandelion full of seeds.

The fireworks soared high into the sky and poured down onto the beach like rain.

All the sights were reflected in the seawater, which had begun to darken, forming a symmetry.

“Isn’t it too early to play with firecrackers?”

Puuong——!

The ensuing explosion.

Fireworks that light up the sky.

Lucy stopped on her way and perched on the roots of a tree sticking out nearby to watch them, then glanced at Adele, who was also watching the fireworks.

He was staring at the flames with a troubled look on his face.

Then he murmured.

“It’s pretty.”

A word I said because the fireworks are so beautiful.

Lucy knows that he is talking about fireworks, but…….

“… ….”

His face suddenly turned hot as he heard the words overlapping with the words he had told himself before.

* * *

The outskirts of the island.

A beach where the waves crash.

In a place where no one was there, a person was holding a stone with a magic circle engraved on it and muttering to himself.

“…… Yes, the plan failed.”

The sight of him wearing the hood of his black robe tightly in a dark place was suspicious to anyone.

“Adele Heights survived unharmed, Nikita Sylvester is captured and interrogated by Ella.”

He is a parasite and a spy that gnaws away at the academy’s solid defenses from within.

He was the messenger who received human organs and blood from the Sylvester family and delivered the witch’s power to Nikita.

“Yes, the Witch Fairy Tales I stole from Heidel worked well. Certainly, ordinary people can be turned into witches…….”

Sabak.

He was making a disturbing noise and leaping from the dark, but he was startled by the presence of people nearby and cut off contact.

And slowly, like a clockwork, I turned my head in the direction where I heard someone stepping on the sand.

“… ….”

Standing there was Ella, a tall elf.

She gazed silently at a man standing alone on the beach in the cool moonlight.

That’s all.

It’s just an act that doesn’t pose any threat.

However, the man wearing the robe felt an indescribable pressure from that gaze.

Lungs collapsed, as if sunk in the deep sea, and a feeling of not being able to breathe.

This was an attack that was not strange even if it killed a person, just because Ella let her life go.

“…… hehehe, aren’t you the chairman?”

The man turned around.

He bowed to her as if nothing had happened, pretending that he was just taking her on a night walk, and greeted her.

However, the life force that seems to be strangling her whole body was still unrecovered.

The man broke into a cold sweat.

“Do you know what I hate the most?”

A sudden question from Ella.

The man grasped the meaning hidden in the question, and put his hand to the memorization he had hidden in her arms in case of an unexpected situation.

“The first is the Demon. Just thinking about those bastards who have been invading this world for a long time, led by the Demon King, makes my teeth tremble.”

I caught this.

The confident man rushed towards Ella with memorized words.

A nimble movement that leaves no footprints on the sand even after running across the sand.

I rushed like the wind and swung her arm with the thought of Bell, not caring about where on her skin, with a memorized spell filled with all sorts of curses.

─────!

Without any harbinger, the light shot from Ella’s fingertips penetrated his body and her memorization did not reach her.

“Keah…… !”

The man with his stomach pierced lost his balance and collapsed on the sand.

When I lowered my eyes slightly and looked at the area that had been hit, I saw that the flesh around the stomach was melting like magma, mixed with the blood.

“The second is a witch with demonic blood. When I see that mongrel, it reminds me of demons, so I can’t stand it.”

Sabak, Sabak.

After walking on the sand, Ella looked down at the fallen man.

She frowned as if she was looking at some filth, cursed at her with her face full of disgust, and then she raised her hand, thinking that it was time to finish her off.

“The third group is those who sell their souls to the previous two and obey them. Guys just like you.”

Particles of light gathered.

If that thing gets shot, it will be over.

Witnessing his own inevitable death, the man vomited his blood and gathered all his remaining strength and sneered.

“Oh, what a fair judge. So did you judge your comrades and your family by saying that?”

Flinch.

As if she had been touched, the veins on Ella’s forehead were turbulent.

A few flashes soon followed on the beach.

All that was left there was a handful of ashes.
