There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

42. Raven (3)

Raven sensed me and came out in a hurry, so he wasn’t even wearing a mask.

It’s Raven who doesn’t wear a mask and doesn’t use strange words…

It was like seeing a completely different person.

“I swear I’ve seen it, but I haven’t seen one.”

I tried to keep my composure while talking.

“So you heard?”

Startle. My body reacted.

“I even put a barrier in part…”

She clenched her fists.

Well, if I were a normal human or a normal wizard, I wouldn’t have been able to disable it even if I was aware of the device.

“hahahaha… I must have been a little too curious…”

Embarrassed, I scratched my head.

I just wanted to go to the bathroom…

Raven seemed to be worried about what to do with me.

I know you’re seriously thinking about it, but I still have to say something…

“Raven”

“what.”

“…Can I use the bathroom?”

Raven put on a puzzled expression for a moment, then nodded.

Seeing what to do quickly, I fixed myself on the chair in the room again.

“Dog star.”

“yes.”

It has become a very polite place.

Throwing out a strange tone, she somehow resembled Luna.

“Forget it.”

“yes?”

“Forget it. Whatever you’ve seen or heard, you’ve never entered this cabin.”

Raven spoke in a firm tone.

I nodded.

And I wasn’t the type to talk about other people’s private lives that much.

That… Raven… served homeroom as a side dish…

It was certain that if I were to tell this to Luna, who was closest to me, it would make things even more difficult for me.

I’m sure it’s ‘Huh~ But how did Sirius know that~?”

You will hear something like this

It hasn’t even been a few hours since I was told to behave well.

I wanted to live long. healthily.

“ha…”

Raven let out a deep sigh.

“How did you get in?”

I broke the barrier because I wanted to go to the bathroom.

“There seems to be a barrier that looks suspicious…”

“You mean you broke it that easily?”

Raven widened his eyes.

Well, since I was actually at the bottom of my class, it was understandable that I had doubts.

“Ah… I’m a bit confident about the magic formula…”

It was true, but somehow it felt like gibberish.

“Well… that’s okay… I won’t touch anything anymore if you just shut up.”

Realizing that Raven was a different person than I thought, I couldn’t resist asking questions.

“The way you talk… why… are you going around like that…?

I spoke with a slight glance.

“Because Master said it was cute.”

It was a straight answer.

She turned and looked at the shelf in the room.

There was a small frame on the shelf, which contained a picture of a girl who looked to be about 7 years old and her homeroom teacher, who was not so different from now.

Is that… the childhood Raven…?

“I’ll go back to my normal tone the moment I leave this room. Don’t worry.”

no. Do you think this one is much better?

The way she speaks now is that of an elite who can be seen breaking.

It must have felt like a sample of an honor student.

“hahahaha… I think the way you talk is okay…?”

The way you act is talking, but the hurdles are high.

“What’s the point of that?”

She looked at me with indifferent eyes.

“Maybe it’s more comfortable when talking to everyone…?”

I blurted out my horse’s tail.

Are you sure I’m right? What is it? Isn’t this way of speaking strange?

Raven laughed.

“Doesn’t everyone have the same thing in my mind?”

She went over to the shelf and touched the picture.

“Can I tell you one more thing? I begged my teacher not to go to such an academy.”

It was the moment when her face showed naked emotion for the first time.

I don’t know why he was making that face, but his expression was full of sadness.

“Something like a hero. I wish I didn’t have…”

She muttered in a low voice, but I heard it clearly.

My thoughts were not well organized.

Isn’t Raven also a warrior party?

“Did Raven not want to come to the academy…?”

I asked again to confirm.

Raven stood by the window and looked at the sea.

“Sirius. Do you have someone important to you?”

“huh?”

“The kind of person who would give up anything for that person.”

Ceria.

The child’s name came to mind.

I had already given up being human for the sake of that child.

I nodded without saying anything.

“So I gave up. If Master chooses that… I’ll follow him…”

Her face looked so painful even to me who didn’t know what was going on.

“Love…isn’t something you can do for me.”

The sound of waves came through Raven’s open window.

“How much can you put up with something you don’t like?”

“How many things can you put down.”

She turned and looked at me.

“It was like that. Sirius.”

The wind blew her black hair.

The emerald landscape spread out behind her.

The sound of waves filling the silence.

It all looked like a painting.

“The conversation ends here. Sirius. I want you to leave first.”

I nodded and got up and grabbed the doorknob.

Before leaving for the last time, I turned around and looked at Raven.

She rested her chin on the window sill and looked out, her face as if she was recalling something.

The content of Raven’s words and her expression, which looked somewhat distressed, all seemed like a dream.

I quietly closed the door and walked towards Yuri and Kane, who were happily enjoying the sea.

It wasn’t long since I had actually been in the cabin and came out, but I was confused.

Yuri must have noticed that the atmosphere had changed after I had been away for a while.

“Sirius. What happened?”

She asked me in a worried tone.

“Yeah no. Nothing.”

It was me who somehow seemed to keep growing more and more secretive.

Already the secret of glass. Raven’s Secret. It was me who got to know each other.

Kane continued to surf, and he seemed very happy as he was screaming through the waves.

I did not go into the sea again, but sat on the sandy beach and looked at the horizon.

Why did Raven not want to go to the academy?

It seemed that there was a deeper reason than simply admiring Luke.

and one more. In the picture, Luke doesn’t look much different from now, but Raven has gone from being a girl to being a lady.

I’ve been worried about Luke’s age for a while, but how old is he?

It wasn’t just a couple of questions.

Raven approached me while I was blankly scribbling on the ground with a twig in the sand.

She handed me a fruit she had never seen before.

It was the size of my head.

“huh?”

“It’s cool to drink.”

Indeed, she returned to her original tone as if nothing had happened.

She brought 3 more fruits in her arms, probably from Yuri and Kane.

“thank you.”

I accepted the fruit with a smile.

“Shall I call the children?”

She nodded.

“Kane! Yuri! Everyone, come here! Raven has something for you!”

They stopped what they were doing and we huddled together on the sandy beach.

“Oh! What is this?”

Having received the fruit, Yuri held it up and turned it around as if she was curious.

Kane snorted at Yuri’s words.

“You don’t even know that! This is a precious fruit that only grows at the end of the continent of Ibelis Empire!”

Unlucky.

By the way, then this is the kingdom?

Raven pulled out a knife from his pocket and demonstrated it.

“You just have to open the lid and eat it.”

She cut off the fruit’s hair, revealing a hole in the center containing liquid.

Raven bent her neck and gulped down the liquid that came out of the hole.

“…big~”

She made noise about whether the drink was good, but isn’t that a concept violation? Raven.

Kane watched Raven grooming and then smirked.

“Why are you using tools like this?”

He tore off the head of the fruit with pure grip.

But in the process, the flesh of the fruit splattered everywhere, and the liquid got on the glass and on my clothes.

No, it’s good to show off your strength, but if you’re going to do that, think about your surroundings.

Yuri also looked straight at Kane as if he was in a bad mood.

Either that or not, Kane drank gulpingly while holding the half-split fruit in one hand.

“Kyaa! This is so amazing!”

His reaction was almost the same as the Asukurim he ate at his house yesterday.

Anyway, I was curious about how delicious it was.

Yuri handed it to me as if she had used up the knife.

What if I just pick off the top round and round like this?

oh. I could see the liquid filled in the round cross-section.

A sweet scent overflowed from inside.

I took a sip of glass and our eyes met.

This taste was intolerable.

Yuri and I, who drank everything, asked Raven.

“Raven. Do you have any more of these?”

She nodded.

“If you go behind the hut, it’s all hanging from trees.”

Upon hearing that, Kane ran toward the cabin without speaking to us.

Both Yuri and I nodded and ran after Kane.

We must have robbed five or six trees that day.

Raven called us to go back soon.

As we did when we arrived, we held hands with Raven.

Raven’s shadow engulfed us.

But it was a little different from when I came.

Kane and Yuri seemed to have already been transferred to the academy, but Raven and I were still in the dark.

When I was a little taken aback, Raven opened her mouth.

“Tell Master what you saw today, even if it’s clear.”

she warned with a fierce expression.

“yes.”

…I understand.
