There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 71

24. Dancing with Artel (2)

I spread the medicine I bought at the headquarter shop and spread it on the affected area.

At first, it started as a grocery store, but now it is gradually turning into a general store as various items are also brought in.

Thanks to this, I was able to get a cheap drug that was said to be effective in calming the swelling.

– What the hell are you, why do you always get hurt like this? For some reason, every time I look at it, it seems that there is no holy place.

My father-in-law was biting his tongue and looking at me with pitiful eyes.

I couldn’t be honest about what Camilla did, I just had no choice but to scratch the back of my head.

“Write. Write-“

Fortunately, he avoided all the vital points and threw them away, so the bruises are mostly left on the arms and legs.

Yes, it was painful to say the least, though.

‘So what was it in the end.’

After I slipped and rolled on the floor, Camilla gave me a somewhat remorseful expression.

The aura that had strongly restrained the atmosphere also faded, and she returned to her usual Camilla.

At dinner, he even said he was sorry and said he was a bit overdone.

Almost double personality.

Reflecting on the situation again, goosebumps arose.

“Is there a missing machine or a bug?”

However, the console window did not appear for that reason. And for a bug, the behavior itself was very natural.

“It was just… you just felt really bad?”

It was a completely different look from what I usually do when I was in a close-knit look, so I felt a huge sense of incongruity.

‘No, maybe not angry. The tension just dropped, maybe it’s because of the eyes, right?’

Almost every time they stick together.

As much as people around me recognize Camilla and me as best friends.

I, too, may have been overly comfortable with Camila.

So, in fact, it may have been just a small change.

Camilla just worked hard to train as I asked.

“Still, the dagger in the end was too much…”

I spread the medicine and spit it out.

Shin-wook-shin.

The bruise was a lot worse than I expected.

* * *

The next day, Camila felt somehow deliberately avoiding me.

Even though today is the same day to go to school at the same time, he left a note saying he had something to tell the professor early and left.

Anyone could see that it was purely an excuse.

“Are you still mad at me? Or is it just because I’m offended…?”

It was squishy.

I mean, I didn’t really do anything wrong.

What makes me a little suspicious is that there was a sudden touch of Iliana… … .

To be honest, it was a little overkill for Camila to be angry about that.

So you mean that Camilla even likes me?

That’s not even funny is it?

Even in the main story, he is a character that can never be turned into a heroine even if he is full of favorable feelings.

Not only that, Camila was already recognized as the 17th preparatory head of the Hwagwon-ryu.

She has a pretty face and a lively personality, right?

I don’t know if I had experienced the ‘Salvation Epic’ event that was due in possession of it.

Contrary to what is known to the public.

In fact, what happened in the Magi Prison of the Hisperif Dungeon was almost the opposite.

Although I overpowered Nordin in the beginning, in the end I couldn’t beat Nordin.

If Camilla hadn’t stepped in, it was clear that the weapon would have been thoroughly applied after the destruction of the weapon.

At that time, there was no Lioner, there was no Aradwa, and the firearms were not fully mastered.

In other words, it is Camilla who has completely awakened Nordin.

‘And does he actually like me? If you want to, not necessarily.’

If you look back on your experiences in most of your life, you have been in that position.

There is a very high chance that you will not be able to eat porridge or even rice if you are flirting here.

‘So the fact that I like someone can hurt someone… … .’

I didn’t want to feel like a dog until I got possessed by the game.

Especially from Camilla.

– I’m sorry… … Can’t we remain good friends?

Hearing these lines, you may not be able to stand it.

Then shut up and move to the dormitory.

‘You should never give your heart to me until you are certain of it.’

When I put my thoughts together, it seemed that my slightly complicated emotions and my head had been released to some extent.

‘I’m just passing it on as a happening. How can a person be energetic every day?’

As Camilla, who has always done her best by my side, I can happily pass on this level of hysteria.

And now there was more important work to do than that.

It’s just alchemy material gathering.

According to Illyana, as soon as her alchemy proficiency rose to an advanced level.

In order to be promoted to the next level, materials had to be collected continuously.

Of course, without taking Ortana’s Alchemy Class, it’s impossible to get promoted to Professional by any means.

However, the training required for promotion can be filled in in advance.

Then, just by taking classes later, you will be able to get promoted right away.

‘It’s really nice to be able to check your proficiency through other people even if the status window is not working.’

With that thought in mind, I walk into the spirit forest.

【Wow, it feels like you are back in your hometown.】

Phytoncides in the dense trees and the atmosphere.

The Lioner, who had suddenly materialized, growled low as if he was in a good mood.

I also enjoy the fresh air of the ebb and flow and move slowly.

Dr. Sabak.

The sound of stepping on grass.

The relaxing harmony of the chirping birds and the blowing wind lingers in my ears.

just between them.

I could sense a strange pretense of popularity.

It wasn’t from the beginning, but I feel like I’ve been following after entering this forest.

After the existence of the spirits was clearly announced, I thought they were the same students because it was a spirit forest where students came and went more often.

I saw them walking at the same pace and stopping together when they stopped.

It was obvious that he was doing something similar.

The reason I said ‘something similar’ was because the other person did not intend to hide their presence.

The shameless attitude that it doesn’t matter if you just get caught.

In this case, most of the time it was our half-artel girl.

Today, for some reason, she was wearing a robe, but Illyana was also a member of Ortana, so she didn’t feel any discomfort.

Rather, it’s hard to admit that I’ve only been wearing sky-high, luxurious clothes until now.

‘But you’re doing really well. I can’t even say it’s a coincidence anymore.’

It really flashes east and flashes west.

But there was one thing that was different from before.

This time, it was the fact that I was aware of the existence over there in advance.

‘If you turn on the surprise, what will Iliana’s reaction be?’

I was a little curious.

Even if there was no change of emotion in everything, it was Illyana who did not have much.

It was certain that if there was something that I was really passionate about, I would show happy emotions and also feel fear.

Under normal circumstances, it was most likely to show a strangely sleepy expression.

If she showed such a startled look, it would have been a pretty interesting sight in its own way.

I went deeper into the woods, then quickly hid behind a huge old tree.

The popular pretender who followed him hurriedly. I looked around quickly and heard the rustling of fallen leaves on the floor.

Then I detoured around the old tree as it was.

He shouted loudly and ran towards the person who was standing in front of him.

“Wow!”

“Aaa-!!!”

Then, a loud scream strikes the eardrum, and he collapses to the floor without strength as his legs may have loosened.

‘uh? Illyana has a voice like this?’

Even if I was surprised, I thought it would be all I could do to get a little twitchy.

It was an overreaction than I expected.

As I bowed my head and checked the inside of the robe, I saw a completely different look from Illyana.

Blond hair that shimmered even in the shade of a gigantic old tree.

He was a person with no face-to-face contact at all.

“Ayyyyyyyyyy…”

She fell to the floor and wiped the area where she hit her buttocks.

“Who are you?”

At my question, she takes off her robe, revealing her face clearly.

Ears longer than Iliana.

Shiny emerald eyes and shiny skin like a forest painted green.

If Illyana was a half-blooded Artel, she really looked like an elf from a fantasy world.

More than any Artel I’ve ever seen.

A beauty that captivates the viewer.

A noble, so beautiful, and pitiful forest princess.

“No, why is Princess Ishtar Arhalten here…?”

* * *

Ishtar Arhalten.

She is the second princess of the Arhalten Kingdom, a kingdom made up of the Artel races.

He was one of the characters who proudly played a pivotal role in the main scenario of Paradise Academia.

The main heroine and protagonist of Acts 4 and 5, which can be seen as the Artel Tribe Dedicated Scenario.

But why was she chasing after my tail?

For a moment, he became dazed and didn’t know what to do, so he met Ishtar’s transparent green eyes.

Then I suddenly woke up.

Thinking that I had committed an enormous disrespect, I rushed to hold her hand and made her stand up.

It was only natural that he bowed his head in apology for his rude behavior.

“I’m so sorry, Princess. I was wearing a robe, so I mistook it for Iliana.”

When I apologize sincerely, she responds with waving hands.

“Ah!! No!! There is also my ignorant who followed me without saying a word!”

Even though he fell quite badly, Ishtar naturally gave up.

After a brief moment of embarrassment, she bowed her head lightly with a restrained motion.

Is she really a princess?

Not only was there no frills, but I could feel the overwhelming dignity that I didn’t know.

“Lioner’s contractor, Baek San-woo, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

As she nodded, she pulled her robe slightly and smiled softly.

“I am Ishtar Arhalten, the second princess of the Arhalten Kingdom. I heard that Illyana is taking a lot of care.”

Although I often stop by Breath of the World Tree, the Artel dormitory.

This was the first time I had met Ishtar in person.

Above all, she is the princess of the tribe.

I also got down on my knees and politely offered the Artel-style greeting I had learned from Illyana.

“Oh, you know our traditional etiquette.”

“Illiana told me.”

Since he was smiling shyly, Ishtar also returned a return in return.

Hook, her face comes closer and the cheeks brush against my cheek.

“!?”

“This is a ceremony of praise for a hero handed down through our royal family. It is worthy of being the contractor of Thunder Woong and the protector of Artel.”

I was so shocked that I couldn’t even laugh. As I stiffen, Ishtar smirks, covering her mouth with her hand.

“But what’s going on here?”

“Actually, I was going to ask you about what it would be like to see Sanwoo come to our dormitory tomorrow, but…”

Ishtar averted his gaze and continued speaking.

“Ugh… It’s said that it’s effective to convey your thoughts as a letter in a dark place between the opposite sexes. To deliver it in an appropriate place.”

The princess wiggled her fingers and handed the letter she had prepared inside her robe.

The envelope is also pink, and the heart pattern in the middle is ‘that letter’.

Who made the invitations like this?

‘What’s wrong with Artel?’

In the absurdity of disappearing, I just stood there dumbfounded.
