I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

Apologizing Too Late

It was a very urgent letter.

The land was attacked by a swarm of gargoyles.

The damage was severe, and the Count is said to be in critical condition.

They even said that they would send someone from the family soon, so stay tuned.

It was a handwriting that felt urgency at a glance.

As soon as Felice read the letter, he felt dizzy.

Not anyone else, but his own father fell into critical condition.

The damage to the territory was not detailed, but I could roughly guess it from the phrase alone.

There is not even a mention of mother or sister.

I hope that’s why I didn’t mention it because the two of them are fine.

At the same time, the first thing she remembered as soon as she read the letter was the image of a man.

It reminds me of him attacking a gargoyle.

While the party members were paying attention to the injured Leo, he desperately grabbed the gargoyle by himself.

That effort was for Felice himself.

‘Why the hell?’

Did you treat him so harshly?

In the end, I remember him despairing at not being able to catch the gargoyle.

The thought of not being able to protect the Ansberg estate made him despair.

And what did he say to him like that?

‘I don’t know if it was to change my reputation or because of the bounty, but we were all almost in danger because of you.’

“No, no… ”

She murmurs in a voice tormented by feelings of shame.

If possible, I wanted to run into myself at the time and cover my mouth.

reputation in the academy.

assignment grades.

Nor was it because of the bounty.

Felice, it was for yourself.

However, he had been lashing out at him like that.

This shouldn’t be true.

Because if it was real, I wouldn’t be able to hold on.

She ran outside in a month.

I need to find Louie, Louie.

Luckily, I was able to spot him right near the restaurant.

I didn’t talk to him in front of others for private reasons because I shouldn’t spread rumors that I was hanging out with him.

Now wasn’t the time to worry about that.

Louis asks himself with a cold face.

“What’s going on?”

“Go, a swarm of gargoyles has invaded our estate.”

Even with that, he tried to leave as if he didn’t care.

Felice grabbed his shoulder.

“How did know! How the hell did you know!”

It was close to a scream.

Rather, he didn’t know it was going to be like this.

What he said that day was just an excuse, I hope he didn’t catch a gargoyle for himself.

So, I hope you don’t have to feel sorry for him.

It’s pitiful, but I hoped.

But at the same time, there was an expectation that it would be nice if he really did it for himself.

“You explained everything last time.”

was his answer.

After all, I knew everything.

It was right that he fought so desperately for himself.

Stupid himself, even after hearing Louis’ explanation, he did not think that there would be a real gargoyle invasion.

he knew

Felice’s hands began to tremble.

This time, Louis was about to go.

But Felice didn’t let him go.

“Well then! If you were so sure, you could have warned our territory!”

It was not even funny.

But, obviously, Louis, who had been kind before, would have done so.

Even if he thought about it, it was absurd, so he was shocked even after he said it.

Louis didn’t hold back this time.

he slapped her on the cheek.

Felice couldn’t believe it at all.

It seemed that Louis’ patience had finally reached its limit.

He started to get angry with her.

Felice endured in silence.

But.

“Are you always like that? Whatever I do, traitor Wallenstein anyway. I didn’t even try to know about people, and I judged everything just by the name of Wallenstein!”

“Don’t be funny! me, i like that… ”

It wasn’t just that.

The words you just said seem to deny the time the two of you spent together.

It came to Felice’s chest in a very painful way.

If he really did, wouldn’t he have had nothing to do with Wallenstein in the first place?

He had seen a man named Louie, not Wallenstein, so he became friends with him.

He was kicked out because he was a Wallenstein because it was his father’s order.

But as I screamed at him, I thought of this at the same time.

‘Even if it was my father’s order, in the end I had to throw him out because of his family, wasn’t it? Isn’t it the same for Louis anyway… ?’

Nevertheless, she kept screaming.

If I stopped here, I really felt like I was going to collapse.

It was vain pride and unforgivable stubbornness.

She knew it too.

It was her sister, Lucy Ansberg, who eventually stopped their fight.

said Lucy.

“Stop it, sister! what are you doing!”

Again, I told Louis.

“I’m sorry, Confucius.”

Felice couldn’t understand.

Why is she drying herself?

Why is she apologizing to Louis?

The question was soon resolved.

“Why are you yelling at this person! If it wasn’t for Confucius, my mother and I would have died too!”

At Lucy’s words, Felice’s head refused to understand for a moment.

Doesn’t that sound like Louis gave a warning in advance? ?

“What… ?”

Felicity muttered.

“Thank you, Confucius. Thanks to Confucius’ warning in advance, we were able to reduce the damage even a little.”

Lucy bows her head to him.

It was real.

“What?”

Felice had no choice but to repeat those words.

I was angry that I couldn’t warn the estate in advance.

Even though it was he who kicked him out of the party, he even warned him in advance?

hair turned white

With a very sad expression on her face, Louis turned back.

“Wait, Louie!”

called him

I couldn’t let it go like this.

Still, she couldn’t help but catch him.

Louis left.

Felice sat down on the spot.

People were watching, but it doesn’t matter.

“Ahhh… ”

She lets out a mournful cry.

—

“What the hell happened with Confucius!”

Lucy shouts from the side.

But Felice was not in a position to answer.

The people of the family thought it was because of the gargoyle attack that she was missing.

Actually, it was because of Louis.

“Girl, you have to leave now.”

they say

Since the count had lost consciousness, the estate needed Felice.

I know that.

Felice said hard.

“Wait a moment. Wait a minute.”

He had never sincerely apologized to Louis before.

I thought it would be fine though.

Basically, Louis is a nice and kind person.

I got sick of myself for thinking that way, Felice.

Felice’s head was full of thoughts that she should apologize to him.

When Lucy thanked him earlier, he should have apologized.

No, he should have apologized when he found out he had killed a gargoyle for himself.

No, when I kicked him out of the party.

No, when my father’s orders pushed him away.

No, I would have started learning swordsmanship from him…

Now Felice understood.

He said he had done so many wrongs to him, but never properly apologized.

Even when I got angry at him for teaching me swordsmanship, I only apologized for it.

Before that, I had never apologized for treating him harshly for no reason.

She could tell too.

that it is too late now.

Still, Felice was determined to apologize to him even now.

Whatever he asks, he will do without hesitation.

Even her father’s orders were erased from her mind, at least for now.

At the same time, I had about Louis.

I felt the emotions that I had never wanted to see grow.

It was too late, but she was expecting Louis to accept her apology.

Because it was Louis who spoke kindly to her no matter how cold she was.

In the end, it was Felice who felt embarrassed that she was leaning on his kindness.

She went helplessly to the academy’s dormitory.

The academy’s men’s dormitory.

He knew where Louis’ room was.

She hurriedly knocked on the door.

“who are you.”

A weak voice came from inside the room.

“Louis, it’s me. This is Felice Ansberg. Can we talk for a moment? Please.”

After some silence.

“… go away.”

It was still a weak voice.

Although Louis couldn’t see it, Felice knelt in front of the door.

“Louis, I’m sorry. There are so many things I have to apologize to you for. You may think it’s an excuse, but can you listen a little?”

excuse.

This was what she said to Louis, who said that a group of gargoyles would invade the Ansberg domain.

“Please, I am sorry. I’m really sorry… ”

She just kept muttering that at the door.

To the end, the door did not open.

In the end, Felice stood up helplessly from his seat.

“Next time, next time, let’s talk.”

Like that, Felice left in a hurry.
