72. Fool

After cleaning the room with the help of my summoner, Aire looked at Ian with an expression of equal momentum with her chest open.

“What do you think! I am a person who can do it!”

“Yeah, well done.”

Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap As she climbed up and down, Ian quickly brushed her off, wondering if she would tilt her head back and burst out laughing.

“So, why did you come?”

“Oh right. Ian Clark. Come under me!”

“If it’s down… ?”

“Of course, I mean come to the North!”

She said that at first and pointed a finger at Ian. However, Ian passed her as she spoke nonsense and headed straight for the kitchen.

After turning on the coffee pot in the kitchen, Ian made a cup of tea with boiling water soon after, and drank the hot tea to cool his stomach.

“Whew… Would you like to drink too?”

“Ah, yes. thank you.”

Ayre, who was handed the tea, quickly put the teacup on the table as if she had never expected it to be this hot, and looked at Ian as if she was seeing a terrifying monster.

“… … How did you swallow this all at once?”

“Just, as far as I can tell.”

There were times when I was working. It’s time to drink the freshly brewed hot mixed coffee and go back to work.

I just learned the art of swallowing a cup of coffee, whether empty or empty.

“More than that.”

Ian frowned as he watched Aire slowly inhaling while blowing tea. Come to the North… To be honest, there was no advantage to that.

No matter how stupid Ayre may be, there’s no way she would have invited her without any confidence.

“If you go north, what can you do for me?”

“Hehe, are you also thinking of coming to the North?”

“I just listen to the conditions.”

“okay! Then I will introduce you to the great perks that you can get when you come to the North!”

She crossed her arms and snorted proudly. Then, he introduced a tremendous perk that would be terrifying even if he thought about it.

“Come north, I’ll give you the right to stroke my hair every day!”

How is that, awesome? Seeing Aire looking at her with a ‘ran’ expression on her face, I wondered if Ian was really thinking that way.

I wondered if I had heard something wrong, so I asked her again.

“… I beg your pardon?”

“What, are you so surprised that you think you heard it wrong? I can’t help it, I’ll tell you one more time. You can stroke my hair-.”

“No, who will go on such terms?”

When Ian raised her voice slightly and pushed her, Ayre, startled, stopped and looked at Ian with bunny eyes as if surprised.

“-Hib.”

Then I started hiccuping slowly. Surprised by the hiccups she couldn’t control herself, she began to cry halfway through.

“Hey, we, our kids- heck, they said they liked it… .”

“Who is it?”

“Hey, you go, hey! kids… .”

“… No, do you really believe what your subordinates say?”

“My kids, hey, don’t insult me… !”

Perhaps the reason she could be so stupid was that the vassals of the Northern Duke also played a part.

Hagi, because Aire’s appearance itself isn’t that bad. In a difficult area like the North, a person like her would have been treated like a princess.

“Ugh, ooh! Ugh, this is, hey, why don’t you stop… Hib!”

“… … uhh.”

Ian sighed lightly and brought water straight away. Ian, who had brought a cup of water, handed it to her and said to her.

“Keep swallowing, don’t stop until you’re done.”

“Yes.”

The question could have arisen, but Aire began to drink water without any doubt.

Gulp, gulp, and drink the water without stopping for about a minute, after realizing that the hiccups had stopped, Aire wiped the corners of her mouth.

“… Off, thank you.”

“It was nothing.”

“Anyway, if you don’t like it, there’s nothing I can do about it… At best, we can only give half of the territory, as many heirlooms and crafts from the northern part of us as we want, or anything like that… .”

“No, you have to say that from the beginning.”

Who the hell thought of sending this person away, Ian wanted to take a look inside that person’s head.

A beginner who doesn’t even know how to negotiate. That’s not enough. Sending a girl like a frog in a well, a girl close to the cage girl?

Did the other person want Ian to show sympathy by being deceived by her cuteness or behavior?

If there really is such a human being, Ian thought that he should be imprisoned even for the future of mankind.

Upon hearing Ian’s words, Aire was overjoyed at the fact that she might be able to entice Ian with only heirlooms or formal dresses.

“That’s enough!?”

“… Ordinary people move because of that, right?”

“okay! okay! yes!”

Aire grabbed Ian’s hands and shook it up and down. Standing blankly without realizing the meaning of waving her hand, Aire lightly waved her hand and headed towards the door.

“Then, good luck in the future! Ian! Oh right. You can call me Ayre!”

“No, what is that-.”

“See you tomorrow!”

Saying so, she disappeared. Ian followed her back and sat down on the bed.

Perhaps it was because the king of the water spirits directly removed the moisture, and the futon smelled quite exhausted.

Thanks to that, it was very cumbersome to deal with something. I also wondered what would change if she ran away alone.

So I just surrendered to this fatigue and went to sleep.

The next day, Ian woke up to a violent knock on his door.

As soon as the door opened, an unknown cadet wearing glasses came running into the room, poking an absurd object with a tape recorder.

“Cadet Ian Clark! Is it possible to have an interview, one interview!?”

“… … What, who are you? you.”

“Ah, the introduction is late. My name is Ayumi from the Academy Newspaper Club.”

Ayumi Ra, when she spit out a bitter smile at her very Korean name, she accepted it as a positive meaning and quickly stepped into the dormitory.

“thank you!”

“… … You didn’t even say a word?”

“Then just one word please.”

Ian, who had blocked her with her body so that she wouldn’t dare to break in, let out a deep sigh and asked why she was coming out.

“… No, what happened all of a sudden in the first place? Why are you interviewing me-.”

“Yes? yea of course… It is because there are rumors that Ian Clark is engaged to the daughter of the Duke of Elnes, Ayre.”

“… … engagement? who?”

“You.”

“I? get engaged? why?”

When Ian showed his genuine embarrassment, Ayumi, who came for the interview, looked at him in confusion.

“… No, don’t you know?”

“What nonsense… Why am I getting engaged?”

“But Ayre-senpai proudly announced at the Academy Social Church that you became your own.”

“I’ve never been like that… .”

No wonder- Ian remembered what happened yesterday. Suddenly, Aire was excited and left.

After that, he went straight to the church and announced that he was hers? That wasn’t enough, did the rumor even go so far as to falsify that he and she were engaged?

My head was starting to get dizzy. What are you thinking… And what kind of thoughts did the two years ahead come to believe in those words?

“First of all- I’ve never been engaged to that senior. It has nothing to do with it.”

“Ah, too. So, are you engaged to Miss Stella Iritz, who you were originally in a relationship with?”

“… What?”

“If that’s not the case, second-year Dinua Erebos-senpai? It’s a bit surprising, but there were rumors that she and Ms. Acacia are dating-.”

Saying that, Ayumi began to show a giraffe-like interest. Ian grabbed her throbbing hair and pushed her back.

“get out.”

“The interview is still… .”

“Get out now.”

Ian came out so forcibly, no matter how hard she was, she couldn’t keep standing there.

After she went out, Ian shut the door and sighed, thinking that he had to get out of this stuffy dormitory.

I have to go to a more luxurious dormitory, but because this dormitory is used only by commoners, security and other issues abound.

If I had lived in a slightly better dormitory, I would not have even been able to access the newspaper department.

Likewise, Ayre wouldn’t have been able to enter his room at will. If that had been the case, there would have been no such rumors spreading.

‘I’m moving in today.’

there was money Rather, it was strange that the dormitory had not been moved until now.

It was like losing a cow and fixing a barn, but what can you do? The incident has already happened, and it’s best to prevent it from happening again.

Ian rubbed my eyelids and thought of a way to solve this problem as much as possible without any problems.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t come up with a way to convince irritable teenagers.

* * *

The children’s eyes are on me. I’m so used to it now. So much so that I don’t feel the need to worry.

As I passed by ignoring the gaze, a cadet with blonde roll hair slowly approached me.

He was the guy who was chasing Stella during the last special test, and was disqualified because of me.

“Wait a minute, would you have time?”

“no.”

“… They say that you rejected Aire-senpai.”

“Has the word spread already?”

I came for the interview this morning, but the rumors are already spreading throughout the school?

It seems that the name of the newspaper department is bigger than I thought. Or maybe they’re unusually interested in such a place.

“Cute- you’re not the kind of person you can be reckless.”

“Is that person the duke’s daughter?”

“Yes? Yes. Yes.”

“Then are you on the same level as Stella?”

“Hmm, I can’t compare him to Miss Stella, but what… It is not wrong.”

“You were talking to Stella the other day and yelling at you.”

“-that!”

At my words, the blonde, roll-haired girl kept her mouth shut. It’s the same duke girl, but who’s great and who’s okay with saying nothing? It was nonsense.

I passed her and said goodbye to Ayre.

When I arrived at the classroom by passing her trembling hands, the children who had already read and heard the newspapers and rumors began to look at me and gossip.

and-.

“Ian Clark!”

Ayre Elnes came to the classroom with both hands full of luggage. When I asked you to say hello, what did you say, the child?

“Why, why did you say that!”

“What do you mean?”

“I said you would be by my side as long as you have heirlooms… That’s why I brought so many for you!”

Saying so, she showed me the contents of the luggage. Everything contained therein was the heirloom of a summoned beast.

It was only then that I realized that she had literally translated my words yesterday.

‘Oh, what should I do with this idiot?’

Aire looked at me with half-weeping eyes, whether she knew my heart or not.
