Academy Light Attribute Vampire

55 – Forest of Elves (1)

After asking Professor Bergen to keep the club in check.

About three weeks have passed.

Around half a year has passed since he entered the academy before he knew it.

The classmates, who could be said to have become close friends by now, were gathering in the classroom and talking to each other.

“What are you going to do this vacation?”

“It’s me… I have to go home. What about you?”

“I decided to go on a trip with the B class kids this time…”

It’s vacation…

Let’s quietly look out the window.

A haze shimmering on the ground due to the scorching sun,

The sound of cicadas chirping in my ears.

‘…There are cicadas in fantasy too.’

It’s a vacation, so it’s a bit unfamiliar.

Because high school was the last time in my life there was no vacation.

To be honest, there was no vacation even in high school.

Because I was forced to work part-time to cover the insufficient living expenses.

In Merhem, where there are no facilities for compulsory education, it will be the first vacation for non-human races.

Maybe that’s why everyone is strangely excited.

But it has nothing to do with me.

Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to rest leisurely this vacation either.

Ha ha.

As soon as a sigh leaked out of my mouth,

In the seat next to her, Selina turns her head as if asking what’s going on.

“It’s hot.”

“Yes, I think the temperature is exceptionally high this summer.”

“…What is Selina going to do on vacation?”

“Hey… I have to go home? I still have problems to solve at home…”

This is a problem that needs to be addressed…

Perhaps the story is about the eldest son of the Weinhard family, who died during the school raid.

“How about you? Anything special this vacation?”

“…Me?”

I will…

So far, it has not been decided in detail.

I think I’ll probably go to Merveus Kingdom with Seong Jin-ha…

“I haven’t decided yet, but I think I’ll have to go home and decide.”

“Hmm… Well, when we’re done with each other… Let’s see each other during vacation.”

“Okay, let’s adjust our schedule and go on a trip with the kids.”

Even after that, when she had dinner with 2 teams.

“So will Morhan and Bell stay at school?”

“…”

Nod.

“Well, the school also has plenty of space to practice, and the dormitory is well equipped.

Bell, who is in the production department, wouldn’t be easy to give up the environment with her personal workshop.. “

“But I guess I’ll see you when I get back to school a little earlier…! What are you going to do with the future??”

“I must go back to Earth,

I have to finish taking the heir class… Ha. It’s vacation, so I can’t even rest.”

“… It’s been a lot of hard work. The future…”

Of course, Elena also said that she would return to the Elven Forest.

… It’s strange that the kids who have been hanging out for half a year are all scattered.

During the high school graduation ceremony,

It reminds me of the past when she was naturally distant from her close friends.

‘…Those guys are doing well.’

Let’s recall the past memories of her uselessly like that.

“… Rye?”

“Ah… Huh?”

“I called you earlier, but there was no answer. Are you okay?”

It seems that I fell in love too deeply without realizing it.

“Oh, I’m sorry I was distracted for a second. What’s going on?”

“No… Nothing special, just to ask what Rai is doing this vacation…”

“Well, Mr. Lai is also a nobleman… Aren’t you going back to the mansion?”

“Roughly correct…But I’m not quite sure yet.”

“Huh..? Why?”

“… Your sister must be busy.”

If you go back to the mansion, all you can do in the empty mansion without Adela is to read a book.

Even if that’s the case, I’ll follow Seong Jin-ha to the Merveus Kingdom.

Adela will have to teach Seong Jin-ha her swordsmanship throughout her vacation as she is Seong Jin-ha’s teacher.

Although I may get caught up in Adela’s training,

If that happens, Sung Jin-ha’s growth will naturally slow down.

It becomes an act that blocks the growth of the main character, and it is not good for me either.

… But it’s not enough to go to the kingdom just to kill time.

As the only person I know in the kingdom is the Queen, it is obvious that I will naturally rise up.

‘…Should I ask the Four Suns Guild to go on an expedition to the gate?’

What is the most efficient way for me now?

Let’s think about it for a while.

“…Rye.”

Elena was looking at me with a somewhat bitter look.

“Huh? Why?”

“…If I really have nowhere else to go, I’ll go to the elven forest…”

Why is he suddenly like this?

In the figure of Elena, who speaks as if she has decided something with serious eyes,

It contained the spirit of trying to take me to the elven forest, even if it meant doing something illegal.

“…No, you don’t have to go that far. If you don’t mind, I can just stay at school and train.”

As soon as she mentions that she can stay at school, Bell comes close to her with her eyes wide open.

“… Ok… Rai… School.”

“No, Bell. It’s not decided…”

There is not much time left until vacation.

In the meantime, I need to decide exactly what to do…

**

The next day.

My concern is,

It was resolved neatly by Veronica’s contact after school.

“… To the elven forest?”

-Yes. You told me the other day, that the Elven Forest is related to the Holy Sword Fairy.

“Yes, but… How are you going to get me there?”

-This time, the Elves requested a check-up because the World Tree was in a strange state.

I’m taking you as my attendant and escort.

Veronica has a vast amount of knowledge that even elves cannot ignore, She

She says she is often asked for advice when an incident arises, regardless of race.

A secretary and escort…

Does Veronica need an escort in the first place?

-… I know roughly what you’re thinking,

By the way, I lost a lot of mana to increase her lifespan over a long period of time.

“Mana?”

-Yes. So I don’t have the strength I used to have… What’s left is the knowledge I’ve accumulated over a long period of time,

Only enough mana to do a little magic.

Somehow.

In the second half of the novel,

There was a reason Veronica, who is clearly one of the strongest in the world, was not mentioned.

“… So. When are we leaving?”

– Huh? Sand tomorrow.

Tomorrow’s sand…

It’s the very next day after vacation, isn’t it?

“Why now…”

-Sorry, I’ve been busy these days, so I tend to forget a lot of things… Do you have anything I need to prepare?

“No, not really, but…”

– Yes? Then, let’s meet at the station in two days.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the elven forest, so I’m very excited… The scenery of the forest always makes my heart tremble.

See you then!

Dude.

The call ended unilaterally.

To return to my hometown by my side,

Neneto, who was whimpering and shoving a book into his bag, opened his mouth.

“Huh… What’s going on? His expression is quite nice.”

“… Wait a minute.”

I made a phone call by manipulating the smart watch.

-Tiriri. T-ri-ri.

The recipient is my older sister.

In other words, it was Adela.

-… Hello?

“Ah.. Yes, sister.”

-Oh, Rini? What’s the matter?

I explained the circumstances of the situation to Adela.

Speaking of going as Veronica’s escort and attendant,

Because I’m sure you’ll believe that I’m involved in another strange incident…

Use Adela’s weakest part, ‘friend’.

“That’s why I think I’m going to go to the forest of the elves this time with the invitation of an elf friend named Elena.”

-… I see, it’s a pity. She wished she came to the kingdom with Jin Ha….

“Nuna and Jinha are going to be busy anyway. Rather, I thought it would be a hindrance if I went.”

-Not really… But… If it’s Elena, is she by any chance the friend who came out to the martial arts competition the other day?

From noble mtl dot com

Huh?

Has your sister ever seen Elena?

She didn’t really have a chance to look outside for a second because she fell in the round of 64…

“Uh… That’s right.”

-…Aren’t you going alone?

Adela’s voice gradually subsides.

Ah.

“…Of course not! I decided to go with one more person.”

I’m not lying because there are three of them including Veronica.

– Then it’s good. Take care and have a good trip, if you take a picture, send it right away.

“Okay. Don’t worry too much.”

-Yes. By the way… By any chance, the other friend is a woman…

“Huh? Neneto what?! Help me pack?”

“?”

Neneto looks at me with a puzzled expression while packing his things.

– Now…

“Sister. Neneto is on the verge of getting under the book, so I’ll call you back next time!”

Dude.

“Wheeyu.”

This is the solution.

“Wheeyu is a dog’s horn.”

“… What does it mean to be good friends?”

“When you keep lying to your family like that, don’t sell me out.

From the moment I found out that the opponent was Sir Adela, even I get chills.”

“I’ll buy you something delicious later.”

“Ehh…”

Still, this is the end of all the build-up to go to the Elf Forest this vacation.

All that remains is…

“Well, you don’t need to pack.”

After roughly stuffing a few clothes into the bag,

I threw it into the corner of the room.

Fluffy.

I lie down on the bed and catch my breath for a while.

‘…The forest of the elves.’

The purpose is to obtain clues about the Holy Sword Fairy, but

Apart from that, the anticipation of going to the unknown territory of the elven forest throbs in one part of her heart.

‘It’s not like this.’

Aren’t they like elementary school students who can’t sleep because they look forward to vacation?

Still, I can’t help it.

Because the fundamental desire for adventure lies dormant in everyone’s heart.

“…So, won’t you really help me pack?”

“Oh.”

Neneto is still fighting the book.

I owe something, so I have to pay it back right away.

After helping Nenetto organize his luggage,

I went to bed leaving behind his pounding heart.
