104 – It’s going to be alright

It’s going to be alright

Entering the living room, Philia sits on the sofa and looks around at the others.

Agnes returns from sleeping with Senna, and Aslan eats with a bowl of snacks wrapped around her waist. And there was even Abigail.

Similar to Aslan, Abigail, in a light outfit, sits with her feet up on the corner of her sofa, scanning Philia.

Even at the entrance, she was surprised by the two of them, but when Abigail was there, Philia couldn’t hide her embarrassment.

Rai, who placed a glass of strong liquor in front of Philia, sipped from her bottle and said.

“I don’t need an introduction because they all know me, but I’ll explain.”

Rai approaches Asran and holds out his palm as if introducing himself.

“The insectivore who ran away from home after a fight with his father is No. 1 Asran.”

At the mention of fighting her father, Filia looks at Aslan.

She comes to this point because of a feud with her father, if she insists on it, so she feels a sense of surprise and sympathy.

Asran’s father, Alion, whom Philia knows is a pretty good person.

I don’t know the details, but since her father, the Infante, cursed Alion a lot, it means that she is a person of great character.

Although he had a hard time becoming a bureaucrat in a military family and took control of the family, and although he had the downside of being stubborn, he was known for being sincere and fair.

She wondered what she had to fight with her father and her polar opposite, Alion, but Filia kept her mouth shut.

She must have had a hard time with him too.

Asran confidently raised her head at Rai’s words and spoke.

“It’s not about running away, it’s about disowning. That’s also what I did.”

“You’re great. You bastard.”

When you see her arguing with Rai, she doesn’t look that hard.

Rai introduces her Abigail to Philia, who tries to rationalize that she is fine with time.

“There is a dormitory, but the insectivore that visits once every two days is number 2… No, it’s a little different from number 1, so it’s number 1.5 Abigail.”

Abigail doesn’t particularly refute Rai’s introduction.

Instead, Philia is just staring at her with one eye to see if she doesn’t like it.

“This is Agnes, insectivore number 3, who happened to live in my house. Insectivore number 4 is sleeping now.”

“Hello. Please take care of me.”

When the insectivore introduces Senna to No. 4, Agnes greets Philia by bowing her head.

Agnes, who explains well in lecture but is shy when meeting face-to-face, greets Philia awkwardly.

“And you want to sleep too?”

“……Yes…”

Insectivore introduced up to No. 4 And asked right away, so Philia was embarrassed and answered cautiously.

It was the moment when all the lines and scenarios I had prepared on the way home became useless.

“Insectivore No. 5 Philia. Everyone claps-“

When Rai claps her hands, she quietly follows only Agnes.

With the exception of Agnes, there was no one to applaud the complaint that invaded the private domain of the house.

“If you come here to Zeroa, everyone will gather.”

“Is Zeroa coming too?”

“No.”

Rai says with a refreshing smile.

“I’ll kill you if you come, so as a result, you won’t come.”

“……”

Philia lowered her head and lowered her eyes at her refreshing smile and unpleasant life.

Agnes, who had been clapping quietly, shivered and shrank back, while Aslan and Abigail politely changed their postures and turned their heads.

When everyone quietly looked down at the floor, her sense of silence pervaded the living room.

Rai, who gulps from her bottle, sits down next to her Philia, who quietly turns her head away from her.

“So what happened?”

At Rai’s question, Philia contemplates how much to explain.

There were too many listeners to disclose the family feud.

Philia, thinking while biting her lip to see if she’s nervous, honestly tells everything about her to Rai, who waits patiently for her.

From the story of marriage to the story of the Infante’s personality.

People who heard the story had different reactions.

Agnes looked at Philia with her sad eyes and Aslan cursed at the Infante.

“That’s a piece of sh*t.”

Although he is a bad person, he is insulting Philia’s father. Agnes looks at her in surprise, but Aslan does not seem to change her attitude.

“What time of day is it? It’s about lineage. And you said you wouldn’t do it, but why are you forcing it? Is your child a toy?”

All the people gathered there shut their mouths and stared at the words that were not like Asran.

“Huh? Why? Did I say something wrong?”

“No, that’s too well said.”

“What do you mean?”

“Good job.”

Perhaps as a compliment, Rai hands the bottle to Aslan, who frowns at her.

Abigail speaks to Philia while Aslan with a suspicious expression drinks her drink.

“So did the lady run away without being able to do anything? Does she mistakenly think that she is a princess in a fairy tale? A prince will save her?”

“I ran away?”

“Then what did you do? Other than bragging about your skills?”

At Abigail’s ridicule, Philia shuts her mouth.

Nothing is solved according to her words.

After all, she herself is just a runaway with a disagreement.

“Why do you say that? You’re expressing your opinion to the family.”

“So? What did you solve?”

Athlan, who tried to take sides because they were in a similar situation, became quiet at Abigail’s question.

“Okay, my room is where you sleep.”

“Eh?”

At Rai’s words, Philia widened her eyes and looked at her.

“Why? I don’t like it? It’s a nice bed because the headmaster took care of it.”

“Ah… Hey… But the instructor and I…”

“What are you talking about? It’s the innermost room on the second floor, so go and sleep.”

While Filia pouting her mouth while imagining her impurity, Rai orders Aslan to bring her pillow from her room.

“Do you want to sleep on the sofa?”

“No, am I going to sleep in bed?”

“Then why do you ask me to bring a pillow?”

“Because you sleep on the sofa.”

Seeing Rai say it for granted, Aslan stares at him blankly and then protests.

But she can’t beat the landlord and she ends up being evicted from the room.

She belatedly figured out her situation and Philia said that she would sleep on the sofa, but Aslan shook her head saying that it was okay.

“You’ve been through a lot. Get some rest.”

It would be normal to be moved by the caring Aslan, but Philia feels awkward with his unusual appearance.

Entering Rai’s room, Philia looks around her room, which has only her simple furniture.

From noble mtl dot com

In her room, she only sleeps and shows no signs of living.

Filia, who was looking around, carefully sat down on the bed.

– Bounce

When the door opened, Philia jumped up as if she had done something wrong and met her eyes with Rai who entered.

“Stay comfortable. Relax. Do you have any clothes to change into?”

“No…”

She really only shows her body, so all she’s wearing is the clothes she’s wearing and the sword she always wears.

Rai strides into her, searches through her closet, and takes out her clothes to Philia.

“It’s my clothes, but I only wear them when I sleep. If I don’t like it, I take out something else and wear it.”

“Ah… Thank you.”

Philia, a little shy at being told to wear someone else’s, and men’s, nods her head.

As if that was all he had to do, Rai gave her clothes and left immediately.

Rai speaks to Philia, who is looking down at her received clothes just before she closes the door.

“Don’t worry, it will work out.”

“Thank you.”

With those words, Rai closes the door and leaves.

Philia, who is left alone, touches her clothes in her hand and then sits down on the bed.

She rebelled against her word of marriage and she impulsively left.

I have nothing and I don’t know how to go to the academy.

She suddenly felt pushed into her society, and she felt lonely, but Philia’s spirit was strong enough to indulge her melancholy.

Philia, who patted both cheeks hard to make her mate-sound, changed her clothes.

She may be comfortable wearing clothes, but they are a bit baggy, but the owner of the clothes, Lai, is not on the big side, so as long as she ties them well, she doesn’t have to worry about them falling off.

Philia, who was sitting quietly on the bed, carefully lifted her top and put it close to her nose.

She smells of the sun not long after washing.

She is somehow addicted to the smell, so Philia, who kept sniffing it, feels like she is a pervert, and she is startled.

She can’t stand the smell of other people’s clothes. She sniffs. She is embarrassed.

Although she is alone, Philia, unable to hold back her shame, burrows into her bed and hides herself.

Burying her face between her pillow and the blanket, she remains silent, then sniffs at the smell of her rye and struggles in embarrassment.

“What are you doing?”

Lai, who was on the first floor, looked up at the noisy ceiling, interrupted her talking to herself, and went into her room.

Entering the room that used to be her guest room, but she now belongs to Aslan, Rai puts her bottle down and lies down on her bed.

After hearing her Philia’s circumstances, Rai anticipates what will happen behind her.

Even when I was in Kaylan Kingdom, the central nobility was annoying.

Particularly those who are good at politics often stab themselves in unimaginable places.

Still, she had a lot of tussling with politicians, so Rai had a clear idea of how the Infante would behave.

Usually politicians attack the periphery of their target.

The only place Philia can rely on is the academy, so she will attack the academy.

Without the academy, Philia is just a girl who is good at swordsmanship.

Early the next morning.

Academy students who devote themselves to training from dawn wander around the academy, and Bright carves a piece of wood as a hobby.

Although it was a tree soaked in the dew of dawn, it is easily cut away by her carving knife. Bright is satisfied with the wood grain, then turns her head to see the approaching rai.

“Hello, Vice President.”

“Good morning, Instructor Rai.”

It’s a nice greeting, but Bright has a serious expression.

Now is the time for the academy students to do their morning training. Usually it’s time for Rai to look after Zeroa’s training or stay at home.

She was so bright that she expected there to be something because she came suddenly.

“Would you like to hear the story of a girl who ran away from home after a quarrel with her father?”

Seeing Rai say something that does not deviate from her expectations, Bright puts down her carving knife and listens.

* * *

She had a big problem yesterday, but Philia, who was living her academy life casually, hears that the Infante has come to her academy, so she rushes to her academy principal’s office.

She knew her father would do something, but she didn’t expect him to move so quickly.

To be alone with the head of the academy?

She will be expelled from the academy.

Philia jumped out of her riding training and ran as hard as she could until she reached the building where her academy head office was located.

“Welcome. Sit down.”

Philia, breathless with sweat all over her body, finds her rai sitting leisurely in her flower bed.

“I’m sorry. I have time to go now.”

“If it’s your father’s problem, don’t worry.”

Filia looked up in surprise at Rai’s words.

Philia, who stared blankly at her lie, pointing to her side with her chin, without saying a word, she sits down next to him.

“What the hell…”

“Don’t worry. There are many people who can help you. It will be fine.”

Rai tells her to be relieved and passes the glass of her drink to Philia.

At that time, the academy director’s office.

“Are you saying you can’t honor my request?!”

The Infante shouts with her angry face on her face.

The sound was so loud that the spacious academy director’s room rang, but Selena, who was sitting in front of her, did not lose her smile.

“Yes, as you know, the Emperor is the only one who can give direct orders to Legandia. Oh, is Count Serios higher than His Majesty?”

At Selena’s words, the Infante shuts her mouth.

Now that the Emperor is mentioned, whatever he says, he is bound to be at a disadvantage.

Finding her academy, the Infante initially intended to drop her philia.

However, Selenas nailed that she could not drop out unless it was her academy student’s will.

Seeing her smiling wickedly and saying that he would take care of her if she agreed to her Philia, the Infante was angry, but held back.

Because Bright stood behind her as if escorting her.

It was Bright who entered the academy as if he were retiring, but his fame and power still remain.

On the contrary, Selena’s political foundation was small because she was an emerging figure who served as the head of the academy at a young age, but Bright is a person with a solid foundation who served in the military for over half a century and even had a private meeting with the emperor.

When he steps forward, the line reaches the court wizard, Clyde Eliza.

It’s not just a power struggle when the damned Clyde goes wild.

The damn bottle will reach the emperor’s ears, and it is unpredictable what kind of disgrace he will receive if he finds out about a simple family problem.

So the Infante, who threatened to cause trouble if he didn’t listen to his request somehow, ended up getting angry at Selenas’ attitude of ‘I don’t know that’.

The problem was that they looked down on Selenas’ political power, who had risen to the rank of head of the academy at a relatively young age.

“Earl Serios. The headmaster is too busy to waste time with matters that have already been decided, so if you have something else to say, come with me.”

At Bright’s words, the Infante frowned.

“I can’t wait to see how the 2nd Prince will view the academy.”

“Unexpectedly, the 2nd prince has nothing to do to interfere with her household affairs.”

The Infante’s tightly clenched fist trembles at the words full of ridicule.

“If the 2nd prince is interested in her academy, I’d be happy. I don’t think there will be enough donations this year.”

The Infante smiled and glared at Selenas, who spoke as if she didn’t know anything, and got up without a word.

Instead, the chair drags noisily, representing his anger, before falling to the floor.

In spite of his uneducated appearance, the infante, possessed by anger, doesn’t care and leaves the academy director’s office with a stomp.

Without even thinking of closing the door, Bright goes out and is able to stare at his back, thanking Selenas.

“Thank you, Headmaster.”

“No. The academy is always on the side of the academy students. Please read carefully so that the academy students in Philia don’t get anxious.”

“Yes, that would already be done by Instructor Rai.”

Bright nodded in response, and Selenas smiled happily.
