24 – Saint Elaine (2)

After Lian was called by Bella, the classroom became livelier than before.

Reina was in the middle of a silent whirlwind of nuns and nervous warfare.

“Isn’t the friend you just left an acquaintance of Miss Aystin?”

“… Yes?”

“Ahahahaha. sorry. Actually, I saw the two of them talking in the morning. I saw it by accident! I had no bad intentions.”

Siegfried smiles with a kind smile.

Reina, whose expression was unknowingly wrinkled, asked in a voice full of caution at the unpleasant energy she felt from him.

“Why are you asking that?”

The jet-black aura that was visible from him.

This was clearly an aura that no one else could see.

Since black usually represents the level of evil, Reina has been able to distinguish between her allies and enemies.

However, her mind is not omnipotent.

Mind’s eye didn’t always show black and white aura, but it’s the same situation now.

At Reina’s question, Siegfried leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.

“The truth is… i stopped watching So, just in case, I asked to confirm.”

“You see?”

“yes? Didn’t you know Miss Aisten?”

Asking casually, he looked at Reina with an expression that he really didn’t know.

Seeing Siegfried staring at her with an ignorant innocent face, she felt a sense of incongruity.

‘… Why are you so anxious?’

And his words further amplified Reina’s anxiety.

“Actually, after the class assignment battle was over, I saw Altane-kun taking a girl to another place.”

“… Woman?”

“I’m sure she’s a bit shorter than Miss Aisten… He was a child with white hair. Where are you going with your wrist grabbed by Altane-kun?”

Siegfried continued by pulling my hand.

“On the surface, the girl seemed to hate it, but I didn’t know the circumstances of the two. That’s why I asked Miss Aisten. I heard you two knew each other. Could that be why you were called by the instructor?”

Reina felt that things were getting complicated in her head.

The identity of the woman Siegfried said he saw.

Of course, it was someone who didn’t even know Reina.

In addition, Altane, who almost dragged her away by force.

What is the relationship between the two?

No, can we trust Siegfried’s words in the first place?

Altean has changed a lot lately. His evil deeds, which had been heard before he knew it, had not been heard, and he heard that the management of his territory, Mene, was being done properly.

Then he suddenly acts like he used to?

‘I can’t believe it… .’

Reina was not soft enough to believe the words of the man she had just seen today.

In addition, the pitch-dark aura he saw from him was something to be wary of.

Even so, the feeling of uneasiness in my heart did not go away.

Since the engagement was broken in the first place, it didn’t matter what he did at the academy or whether he had an accident and was expelled.

However, if Altane was trying to cross the invisible line, as her former fiancé, she had an obligation to restrain her.

If Siegfried’s words were true, he would have to protect the female student who was taken away by Altyn.

“I’ll go back to the dormitory for now. Don’t stay too long, Miss Aistin.”

Siegfried left a meaningful message and left.

Quite a while has passed since Altane was called by the instructor.

Siegfried and other students who remained in the classroom were also returning to their dormitories.

After the classroom was completely empty, Reina sat for a while.

“Get away from him right now.”

“At least listen to the context—”

“Do you have a problem? He must have forced me to become a servant, saying that he would give me money. Otherwise, there is no reason for you to take a student from Class F.”

“There may be other reasons.”

“Be grateful that I left you here. What you were about to do is a crime.”

Reina’s voice was cool enough to feel the chill around her for a moment.

If I had felt even the slightest emotion before, this time I didn’t feel a single emotion.

Given the circumstances, her behavior was understandable.

I heard someone screaming for help, and when I arrived, I saw a crying woman with her jacket half off and me on top of it.

To be honest, it’s amazing how Reina keeps her cool like that.

I spoke out as much as possible to avoid irritating her.

“Now, I know that this situation is regrettable, but wouldn’t it be the first thing to at least listen to the victim?”

I pointed to Elaine, who was wearing an unbuttoned jacket.

But Reina didn’t even look at her, rather she stood in the way of me and Elaine.

“no. Let’s take it to the instructor and listen to it separately. I don’t know what you might have done.”

“Am I that unreliable?”

“I have no trust in you who cannot reflect on your mistakes.”

“Now, wait a minute… .”

“Come with me. Try not to make eye contact with him. and you… You’d better stay out of sight for a while.”

Reina interrupted Elaine, warned me, and led her toward the main building.

It looks like he’s really taking her to Bella, but how will Raina react after hearing the circumstances from Elaine?

‘He is firmly hated.’

I thought you’d at least ask what happened, but you’d hate it with your eyes wide open like that.

A person like Bella would have been watching this situation right now.

It’s also not that far from the main building. It’s shabby, but since noise blocking magic has been activated, there’s no way that she, who has a good knowledge of magic, won’t notice.

There was a point in my not trying to explain everything to Reina.

It’s altein’s karma for being such a jerk that she didn’t trust her in the first place. It’s an ambiguous situation to say anything because I was caught by Reina, who appeared at such a good time.

Come to think of it, what was Reina doing until now?

The classroom must have been empty. Did you even go to the library?

The disappearance of the three, the timing of Reina’s appearance, and so on, it feels so exquisitely matched.

No matter how much it was the entrance ceremony, it was too easy to get into the academy. Even wearing a similar uniform.

‘I should have at least asked what denomination it was.’

Seeing as he disappeared without a trace, it doesn’t seem like he’s from an ordinary church.

If I get a chance, I’ll try asking Elaine.

“Write.”

Suddenly, my right forearm felt sore.

It was as if I had been cut somewhere when I ran into the three of them earlier.

‘There’s nothing going on.’

After taking off the jacket, I pressed the wound as a makeshift measure.

We should hurry up and seduce Elaine to fill the healer position.

*

Elaine was dragged by Reina for a while with her wrists grabbed, and then stopped Reina in a hurry.

“Hey, wait! wait for a sec!”

“Why is that? wherever it hurts… .”

“I think you misunderstood something.”

“… Misunderstanding?”

Only then did Raina let go of Elaine’s hand.

She nodded her head with a face as if demanding an explanation from Elaine.

Elaine opened her mouth after fixing the jacket with the front seam open.

Falling asleep in the classroom and coming out late, and on the way to the dormitory, were caught by three men for no reason and were almost beaten.

And to the fact that Rian, who was passing by, helped her, and that the three of them fled while Reina and Rian, who arrived later, were talking.

Briefly describe the overall flow of events.

Hearing this, Reina’s icy face gradually cracked.

And muttered in disbelief.

“… what is that?”

“If he hadn’t helped me, I might have been broken. really… I really thought no one would come… .”

Elaine’s eyes softened.

As she said, if Lian hadn’t appeared in a spur-of-the-moment situation, something terrible might have happened.

Tears dried and flowed over and over, a face that was crumbly, disheveled gray hair, and a tattered skirt and jacket.

In fact, Reina also felt the remnants of the range magic that blocked the noise, albeit weakly, at the scene, so there was no doubt that Elaine was dangerous.

Just the sight she saw.

I couldn’t understand the look of Lian, who was talking on top of Elaine, who was blushing.

When Rayna asked, Elaine began to feel visibly embarrassed.

“Oh no! that’s… Oh, it’s never like that anyway!”

Elaine’s face was flushed red as she was embarrassed to the extent that anyone could see it.

Seeing this, Reina felt another sense of incongruity in her chest.

She hurriedly activated her inner eye and observed Elaine waving her arms.

‘White… .’

It was white, brighter and more transparent than any color she had ever seen.

It was safe to say that Elaine was a good person to a certain extent, although her intellect was not absolute.

Then it wasn’t ‘he’ who tried to harm her, but someone else… .

―Isn’t it the first thing to at least listen to the victim’s own story?

-Am I that unreliable?

Reina felt a lump in one side of her chest.

Looking at him with an expression that seemed to have given up on everything, she felt that Rian’s actions were certain in her heart.

That’s why he dismissed all his words as excuses and refused to listen.

Because everything pointed to him.

Because I am still a human being.

Come to think of it, this has happened before…

“uh… Blood, blood is flowing!”

Elaine’s cry awakened Reina’s consciousness.

It was as if I had bitten my lips without realizing it.

The warm yet bitter smell of blood lingered in my mouth.

“Elain… did you say that?”

“ah… Yeah! So… .”

“Call me Reina.”

“Raina… Seed?”

After all, it’s already over with him.

The days when we cared about each other are long gone.

Maybe only Reina herself had that kind of heart.

Even so.

No matter how rotten he is.

‘Apple… I must.’

Reina resumed her stopped steps.

Then he said to Elaine, who was standing still.

“Follow me.”
