21 – first lesson (4)

*

“A world without you.”

A night when all the lights faded.

The day I’ve been waiting for has arrived,

The woman kneeling on the church floor couldn’t rejoice.

“Nothing… it doesn’t make any sense. Heh, huh…”

she was crying

I was just staring at the crimson moon with eyes that were out of focus, shedding tears without a break.

Then, feeling overwhelmed with emotion, he took out the blood-colored stone he had put in his arms.

“So, this time I am.”

As soon as the woman held the stone, a dazzling light burst from her whole body.

“I’ll find you.”

Whoa!

Soon, the energy that poured out, the world began to be dyed in golden light.

*

A week had passed since Catherine’s hysteria.

At the time, it was embarrassing because she made a fuss about me dying after you died.

“Then let’s have lunch together every day” was the condition that I was able to solve.

I think it’s a pretty good suggestion.

When I ate with the other ladies, I, a servant, couldn’t join.

It must have been a tempting remark to Catherine, who was deeply regretful about it.

Thanks to that, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief that the killing spree targeting Miya had disappeared.

Of course, her anger toward Sir Ferdinand had not cooled.

“Are you all here?”

“Yep!”

Dungeon exploration class time back after a week.

The students of Class A are huddled together at the front gate of the Faculty of Engineering, not at the gymnasium.

Me, Miya, and Ugo who drew number 4 from the lottery box last week.

We were sitting in the middle of our classmates, listening to the professor.

“Any knight should have experience clearing dungeons, and should know about dungeons well.”

Dungeons appearing all over the continent.

If the knights do not deal with the dungeon, innocent citizens suffer from the pouring monsters.

Therefore, when the knights receive a report that a dungeon has been created, they clear the dungeon by forming a team of knights.

Of course, unlike monsters on Earth, monsters have a limit of three digits when it comes to forming a group.

There are only a few individuals that can handle magical powers, so they literally become nothing but prey.

However, it was like a disaster for helpless citizens, so the existence of a knight to subdue them was essential.

“Since you are newbies going to the dungeon for the first time today, the verified seniors will follow as your mentors.”

“mentor?”

“You mean the seniors are directing you?”

The students who were waiting for Professor Christina’s words made a puzzled expression.

“Dungeons are much more dangerous than you think.”

“If you get lost, you could become a missing person in the dungeon.”

“There are times when you lose your life to ambushed monsters, so no matter how much you are a knight, you must always be thoroughly prepared.”

Miya mumbles as if agreeing with the professor’s explanation with a serious expression.

“Higher floors are really dangerous.”

“Upper floors?”

“Yes. Upper level of the dungeon. Leon, have you not been to the dungeon?”

There was no need to hide it, so I nodded right away.

Then, as if Miya was a little surprised, she opened her eyes slightly and said.

“I thought Catherine’s knights would still have plenty of dungeon experience.”

“I’ve caught monsters a few times, but I’m not very interested in dungeons. And how many times have I said I’m a butler, not a knight.”

“Hmm. That’s right.”

She looks at her with soft eyes.

I asked again, frowning in irritation that suddenly soared.

“why.”

“No~.”

“What. Say it properly.”

“It’s just~. I thought it was like that because I’ve been to many dungeons since you’re calm, but it’s not~. I’m a bit surprised?”

“Have you been there many times?”

“Of course!”

She pushed her breasts out as if to show off.

It’s not like you’ll have a chest that doesn’t exist by sticking out like that.

“How many times have I been with my dad? I’m sure the dungeon clear alone will be in the triple digits?”

“So, isn’t it like beating a monster? It doesn’t look very difficult.”

“Ahh? What are you talking about? How many traps and ambush type monsters are in the dungeon? If you don’t care, you’ll really go hooked in one shot?”

Isn’t that what it’s all about?

Ignoring her preaching about the dangers of dungeons, I listened to Professor Christina’s words.

“Then, shall we invite the seniors?”

I hope it’s not just David or something.

If he’s chosen to be our team’s mentor, I’ll break the leg club this time.

As soon as the professor finished talking, seniors in neat greaves appeared from the front door.

In line with us, a total of 30 members, ten seniors approached the professor.

And, one of them was a face I knew well.

“uh?”

“…!”

The pupils of Princess Laura, who met my eyes, widened slightly.

The eyes mixed with emotions that I don’t know if it’s a pleasure or apologetic.

I opened my palms with my mouth closed at the ominous feeling that rose from my heart.

‘no way… … .’

Received from the professor last week,

He showed the piece of paper with the number 4 written on it to the princess.

As if she understood the meaning of my actions, she secretly spreads her palm and shows her paper.

A crumpled piece of paper with the number 4 written on it.

‘Of course.’

I held my forehead with one hand and let out a low sigh.

Then, Princess Laura flinched at my appearance and lowered her head with a slightly downcast expression.

“Now then, shall we all get on the carriage with our mentor sunbaenim?”

“Senior, nice to meet you!”

“Please take good care of me!”

“Yes, nice to meet you. It’s good that you’re strong.”

“Trust only this body that has never dropped below A+ in dungeon studies, juniors.”

“By the way, the power over there is great?”

“There is even a senior in the first year under Her Highness the Princess.”

“Hey, that’s not the point. Look at that.”

After exchanging greetings with the new students, the current students who gathered again,

Looking at the place where we were gathered, he whispered with a surprised expression.

Curiously, their gaze was not on Laura or Miya, the beauties with sparkling eyes, but on me.

When I turn my head and look at them, the seniors I was talking with approach me.

“Hey, junior Leon!”

“Is it just a week?”

“How are you?”

“Nice to meet you, seniors.”

It seems that the seniors were watching the sparring with David.

They greeted me with a smile as if they remembered me well.

It’s amazing how they treat a senior like them so favorably.

If so, it would be natural to respond to kindness with kindness.

I also lightly bowed my head towards them and greeted them.

Then, Miya glances at me with a look of surprise.

what is that look

What’s strange about me being friendly with my seniors?

“That’s right, junior Leon. Did you hear the news?”

“What news?”

“David the son of a b*tch, he’s no longer a man.”

“……Yes?”

what kind of crazy is this?

When I asked back with an absurd expression, the seniors made embarrassing expressions.

I feel like how to explain this.

A senior with a bald head, who was standing on the right, grabbed the gun.

“The headmaster of knights took David to Isabella.”

If it’s Isabella, isn’t it the dean of Catherine’s Faculty of Magic?

Like Duke Julius von Roelheim, he is a 7th class archmage,

A powerful transformation wizard rumored to be able to transform into a dragon.

I’ve never seen you go out with a man

She even has a label asking if she likes the same girl.

It is a well-known rumor that all the men who approached to attack Isabella were humiliated.

I also heard this from Duke Julius before,

She said that once, Prince Oh tried to take her by force.

If you don’t come in as his concubine, he will punish you.

At those words, Prince Oh became Princess Oh,

Rumor has it that he managed to return later at the request of the emperor.

‘No, if I just receive recovery magic for about 6 months and treat it, it will get better on its own.’

I never imagined that the dean of knights would try to cover up the incident in this way.

Does it become a mum in the first place, this?

Isn’t that Laurentium or something that’s giving a f*ck in a family?

‘Sir Ferdinand, what the hell are you doing?’

“Isn’t there anything special about that senior’s family?”

“I think I rather like it…”

“Yes? What?”

“that is…….”

“Everyone! Start slowly now!”

At Professor Christina’s voice, the seniors shrugged and left.

“Let’s talk later.”

“Nice to meet you, junior Leon.”

“……What kind of conversation is this?”

Miya with an embarrassing face. what did he hear now? It is the eyes called

Princess Laura, who was standing next to him, also had an expression of incomprehension.

“Didn’t I hear you wrong? What the hell are you doing?”

“I don’t know. What’s going on.”

“You can’t believe it, do you like Isabella-sama?”

“What kind of crazy are you talking about? I’ve never seen him before.”

I’ve only heard rumors about her face and body, but I’ve never actually seen her.

However, Miya looks at me with her eyes narrowed in disbelief.

I didn’t even want to think about it anymore, so I quickly got on the carriage waiting in front.

“Ugo. I can’t get on the first car.”

“I think Ugo will have to take the second car?”

“Second car, I’ll get on.”

There was not enough room for Ugo to ride in the front compartment of the two-car wide carriage.

So, Ugo decided to ride in the back car, and me, Miya, and Princess Laura in the front car.

After confirming that they were all on board, the coachman let out a cheerful voice saying, “This is it!”

At the same time, hee-hee-hee, the neighing of a street horse was heard in my ears,

Unlike the noisy outside of the wagon, the inside was infinitely quiet.

“…”

“…”

It is a scene surrounded by two beauties.

It’s definitely a situation like that, but why is it so cold?

Scratching my head, I looked at the black-haired woman in front of me.

The main culprit of this atmosphere, Princess Laura.

In the still air, she was looking at me.

“Hey, what kind of atmosphere is this?”

Miya looked at us alternately with her pronunciation as if she was embarrassed too.

She forced a smile and opened her mouth as if she didn’t like this atmosphere.

“His Highness Laura, is that right?”

nod

“I’ve heard a lot! I heard that you’re really, really good at handling swords. So, when can you have a sparring with me?”

Nod.

“……Me, Your Highness? You don’t want to talk to me…?”

dory dory.

“Do you have a sore throat and can’t speak…?”

Dori dory dory.

Laura shook her head from side to side several times in response to the question posed by Miya with a hurt expression.

Then, he took out a small notebook and a quill pen from his bosom, and began to write something down.

Seeing that the letters are written even though there is no ink, it seems to be a magic tool.

< Leon said he didn’t want to hear my voice… … . >

When she shows the note, her body trembles slightly like a wounded lamb.

The phrase she wrote reminded me of the rants I had made to her the previous week.

ㅡ… … And before we go, let me ask you one last favor. Don’t ever bring my name out of your mouth again. That voice, just hearing it makes me feel pretty f*cked up.

Could it be that you still have in mind the words you said last week?

“What did you say to His Highness?”

Miya looks curious as to how I came to say such a thing.

Because I can’t tell you the truth

I could only stare at Laura with a confused expression.

“no…….”

majesty.

why is this all of a sudden

You didn’t have this image.

Where did our regressor who had a strong sense of justice and courage go… … .
