still live (2)

As the sweltering heat of summer intensifies, the final exams are getting closer and closer.

The guys who barely managed to fail the midterm exam were already crying and walking around like corpses.

It’s not as bad as the last one… The final exams are also famous for being quite harsh.

In the first place, this academy seems to confuse failing with expulsion, and tends to overuse the latter.

I didn’t think I’d get to the Nakjejeom yet, but…

Recently, there have been many days when I was forced to take a break due to various incidents.

I’ll have to keep my head up to get the scholarship.

As if Medusha noticed my situation, I greatly reduced my fighting and stupidity than usual.

I wanted to concentrate on my studies until the start of the final exam like this.

Unfortunately, a large-scale event that had been scheduled for a long time has arrived.

field practice.

It’s time to visit my maternal family, who don’t have a very good impression.

Finally, on the day of the field training, Sylvia woke me up early in the morning and pushed me into the bathroom.

As usual, after washing his body as usual, he returned with a rejection decision.

He even came in and washed me thoroughly.

As if it was like entering the middle of an enemy camp, he thoroughly took care not to get even a small scratch.

After I shaved my nails and toenails and trimmed my hair, I started to decorate myself.

Sylvia is my escort by name, so she stays in my room every night.

Her room is actually being used as a warehouse.

When she came out of the bathroom, this time Medusha and Persia were pushed in.

When I left the dormitory after two hours of preparation, I saw a long line of low-grade students already.

The means of transportation designated by the school is, of course, a train.

It seems that it was specially organized for field practice.

When she found Maria and Christine leaving the women’s dormitory just in time, Sylvia, who had been watching from afar, rushed to her.

Maria with a hard face as if she was very nervous all night.

I went to the train station with them.

“I’m sure I’ll ride this again…”

“Wait, I’ll send you some parcels before I buy a ticket.”

Medusha tilted her head slightly when she summoned the parcel prepared in advance in the dormitory, spilling Persia’s feelings over her ear.

Sylvia didn’t say anything because she already knew the contents.

“Are you sending a present to your hometown?”

“Not similar.”

Mail delivery using gates is too expensive.

Therefore, when sending mail to other cities, most use the train station.

It is an inconvenient service that the recipient of the mail has to come to the station directly, but…

The handmaiden of her hometown periodically sent people to the station.

El Cloud had quite a few receptions because his name was Count.

I left the parcel in the hope that it would arrive properly.

Mail delivery by train is fairly safe, but…

Since the contents were so expensive, I was naturally anxious.

Medusha, intrigued by the fist-sized parcel, cuts her voice and asks.

“What is that?”

“Warp Stone. There are two pairs of artifacts that allow you to summon the person on the other side.”

“Huh? Was there such a thing?”

An object similar to a gate for ultra-long-distance transmission installed in an academy.

But it is much more difficult to use than that.

First of all, both sides must be summoners of a certain level or higher, and it takes a considerable amount of time and mana to activate it…

First of all, it’s disposable for an incredibly expensive subject.

A luxury using the bounty I received last time.

It is a means to summon the handmaiden in case of emergency.

To me, this stone felt like a spare life.

After leaving the parcel, I headed straight to the other counter to get my ticket.

The staff who found Medusha greeted me politely like the last time and gave me a special room.

However, the seating arrangement is a bit odd.

Obviously, we got Maria and Christine’s as well, but the seats are two and three apart.

Of course, changing seats is unavoidable.

A total of 5 members including me, Medusha, Sylvia, Christine, and Maria.

However, the capacity of the room is 4 people.

As the capacity is exceeded, someone has to sit separately.

However, it is a bit strange that it was divided into 2 and 3.

Medusha tried to force her to give out the two rooms altogether, but…

i blocked it

It’s a free ride anyway, so I didn’t want to ask that much.

“Then how do we share this?”

Christine will try not to separate from Maria…

As always, Medusa sits next to me.

And Sylvia wants to ride with me.

In the end, me, Sylvia, and Medusha naturally took 3 seats, and Maria and Christine took 2 seats.

We entered the room with a bit of doubt and sighed as we saw the passenger sitting in the first remaining seat.

“Well then…”

“Ah, Lou… Louise. Medusa. Hello? Are you in this Khan too? It’s a coincidence.”

Elfriede, who was looking out the window from an unnatural angle, shook her head stiffly and greeted her.

Then Medusha gives you a pint glass.

“What kind of coincidence is a coincidence. You put it like this on purpose.”

“Okay, because it’s a free ride.”

In principle, transportation expenses for field training are provided by the academy, but…

Ours was a special room, so we had to pay an extra fee.

As I pointed it out, Medusha sat down next to me with a slightly dissatisfied expression.

After all, Sylvia is glaring at her, so there’s no need to bother her any more.

Before long, the train just before departure sounded its horn briefly.

Maria and Christine left the room to see who they were sitting with.

A cat with a similarly familiar face was sitting opposite the two of them, who took a familiar pose.

It seems that Eolin caught up with the lead professor role.

It’s a cat that can’t even feel the sense of responsibility as a professor…

The torture of the napping part.

If I’m in a crisis, I won’t be ignorant.

I want to believe so.

When I returned to the cabin full of awkward airflow and sat down, the train departed with a heavy horn sound.

The train, which had crossed the capital and exited, entered a wheat field with a familiar feeling.

Excellent cooling for a special room.

But the thought of Westwall getting closer makes my mouth dry.

Could it be that it was decided too hastily?

What if the head of Westwall says something to me?

I am a child who ate my mother.

Even if he criticizes me, there is a point where it feels justified in his own way.

After all, I go there because I have to go someday, not because I want to go.

If I had had a choice, I would not have attended without hesitation.

Sylvia and Elfriede watch from opposite sides as my expression hardens in real time.

I couldn’t even think of how the two of them could talk.

Thankfully, I could hear the sound of a cart being driven from outside the room.

It’s nice to see Medusa and Persia already swallowing their saliva.

“Louis, open the door quickly!”

“Don’t worry. It’s not over yet.”

When I opened the door with a grin, the guy who was occupying a seat by the window sprinted forward in front of the cart.

Persia also blinked her eyes and ran through the large cart.

The composition was slightly different from when I went to Ice and Snow Hell.

The guys who used to pick out familiar snacks first hesitate a little about the new and unusual products.

“What is this?”

“Oh, it’s called fried noodles. It’s a new product developed by the Tercia family.”

“Fried noodles?”

Snacks in wooden containers with lids.

The number of digits of the price is different from other products.

But that was not a reason for Medusha to hesitate.

The guy who just took the wooden container and opened the lid is slightly disappointed.

Since I have a knack for gourmet food, I can find out the identity of the new product at a glance.

“Is the wheat noodles fried? It’s definitely unique, but it doesn’t look very tasty, does it?”

“It is still unfinished. If you pour hot water like this and wait a little…”

The staff who explained with a smile poured hot water directly.

Originally, it must have been carried to serve coffee or tea.

As the steaming hot water half-filled the wooden container, the fragrant smell filled the room.

“Huh? Oh, it must have been the sauce underneath.”

“Yes. Just close the lid as it is and wait for a while before eating.”

“Oh.”

Medusha seemed to like this unusual gimmick snack, clasping her fork tightly and glaring at the closed lid.

In terms of performance, it seems to have passed.

We bought the same snack and poured water on it, and the door in the next room suddenly opened and Eolin appeared.

“What! Why isn’t my snack coming? Huh?”

“Professor, look at this.”

As I grabbed Eolin and showed her the fried noodles, her body covered in soft fur trembled.

After hearing the detailed explanation, she let out a small sigh and muttered.

“Is it the Tersia family? They’re playing a very dangerous game.”

“yes?”

“It’s not a big deal. Would you like to taste something like this before?”

Eolin sat down on my lap and nodded again.

When the lid was opened, the staff said it was almost done, and the noodles, which had been dissolved in hot water, welcomed us.

The powdered sauce on the bottom was completely melted, and it smelled quite fragrant.

When I tried to feed the noodles with a fork, Eolin was startled and pulled her head back.

“Gyaak! It’s hot! Blow it up and cool it down.”

“Oh, yes…”

You’re making it difficult for the subject to eat.

However, when I remembered the last time I had helped, the animosity disappeared.

Medusha, who had tasted the noodles next to him, trembled with emotion.

“This is really good. The way to make it is fun, and it’s very convenient because you can eat it anytime as long as you have hot water. The texture and flavor are different from ordinary noodles.”

“It’s a hit product that instantly revived the Tersia family in crisis. I can’t sell it because there’s no fortress. Especially in the train…”

Because he is a member of the Duke of Beltern, he explains it very kindly.

As if it was the first time he had eaten Elfriede on the other side, he nodded with a strange expression.

“I’ve heard of the story, but I didn’t think it would be like this…”

“Um, that’s fine. I reproduced it quite well.”

Eolin, who finally got mine and ate it, was also praised for mixing strange words.

Medusha, who was pushing Persia with her head in her head, asked the staff.

“Can you bring me a few more? It seems to be useful as emergency food.”

While immersed in unexpected pleasure.

The train carrying the party narrowed the distance to Westwall at a frightening speed.

I realized it later and hid my dark complexion.

Sylvia on the other side closed her eyes slightly as if not to worry too much.

but. It’s no use worrying about it now.

I beat myself up by putting the fried noodles handed over by Medusha into the subspace.

Whatever the case may be, I should only think about showing an image that I am not ashamed of as Earl of El Cloud.

Eolin, who ate almost everything from mine, rolled up her body and began to doze off.

Originally, I was going to study for an exam on the train, but at some point I crossed the water.

I decided to make up for the lack of sleep by stroking Professor Cat’s soft fur.
