48 – choice

Am I dead…?

In the manga, after being cut, after a while, it splits with an afterimage.

-……

Even after a while, I felt no pain in my body.

“Warning. Don’t even think about approaching Prissy any more.”

“……?”

I slowly opened my eyes.

What she cut through was not me, but empty space.

It was obviously too fast to react, and it would have been fatal if Eliana had made up her mind.

-Dalkan.

Eliana put the rapier back in the chest with a bitter smile.

Returning to the Eliana I knew, she said a word to me.

“Go eat.”

“hahahaha……? meal?”

Perhaps I was putting on a bewildered expression.

what. this?

Confusion comes to the brain later.

Are you asking me to accept this situation as a hidden camera?

It’s too much to call it a joke.

I immediately asked her.

“Are the stories about the saintess real? The reason why the saintess was raised… is it because of the Serius family?”

“Is that first?”

“Yes?”

“I thought you’d ask me why you’re saving me.”

You really meant to kill me.

By the way, there must be a story that can’t be killed right now, right?

Unexpected courage began to well up.

“Did you really try to breed the saintess? And why do you dare to tell me about the shadow of the Serius family?!”

As if in response to the word breeding, Eliana glared at me…

– Again. again.

He passed me and went to the door.

“You don’t need to know. Because you won’t be able to do anything anyway. And isn’t it you who was bred? Just like a watchdog.”

“……”

After I was silent, Eliana spoke with regret.

“Lee Ha-yu. You are a blot.”

“……?”

“That day, the day you pulled the wagon and went up to the dormitory. That noble uphill road that proves chivalry was as white as a blank sheet of paper.”

“What else are you talking about?”

“By the way, you have black hair that is hard to find on this continent. You could see it from a really far distance.”

She stares at me from the door.

“You are a stain. Any person health, visible and trampled stains. So I want to get rid of it.”

fuck. Why are you here again?

“I mean… I don’t have to get my hands dirty. Aren’t there only two people who are conscious of you besides me?”

-It’s sweet.

“Don’t confuse me any more.”

After saying that, she disappeared.

-bang!

After a belated meal by myself, I heard that the court mage had arrived.

The masked man told me that others were waiting in the study.

Maybe it’s real that I’m doing the assignment in the middle of this.

‘assignment? Are you fucking kidding me?’

-Don’t confuse me any more.

not to confuse? what i will say

How are you supposed to react to the sudden death?

‘it’s crazy. Everyone is crazy. It’s not a normal game.’

I bet Any Korean in this world would go crazy.

…[D-12]

Maybe I’m hearing auditory hallucinations because of the pressure on the count, but this situation itself is just like a dream.

There was no way the food would pass properly due to the ongoing stress.

There’s no one I can trust…

.

.

.

“Miss Hayu… are you okay?”

“yes? yes.”

“Certainly, you didn’t eat properly while practicing table manners by yourself, did you?”

“hahahaha… that can’t be.”

Even Floria’s jokes do not ease her mood.

‘driving me crazy.’

Why is everyone confessing to murder?

Why can’t you catch me and eat me?

If life and death were at stake on Asfondel Street from day to day, it was a physical matter.

Since coming to the academy, the pressure is severe mentally.

‘think.’

Obviously, the saintess has favorable feelings toward Eliana.

Even if I tell the truth, they may not believe me.

Eliana Serius. It’s crazy beyond imagination… How do I cut it off?

I looked around.

We are sitting around a large table, waiting for the court mage.

“Court mage, what kind of person is coming? Of course, I’m familiar with fame for a few minutes… but I hope someone who knows comes out!”

“Well… I’m looking forward to it too!”

“If possible, I would like someone who finishes it quickly… Wouldn’t it be fun to see the ecliptic together if there is time left?”

The saintess and Floria were expressing their anticipation for each other, as if they had become quite close.

“……”

Lane lets out a sigh when I come back, and then keeps a disinterested expression.

I’m the only one who wants to die

– Knocked up.

“Hey, everyone. hello.”

-???

And what appeared in front of us was frizzy blue hair and round glasses.

It was Professor Clutton, the cystein of Lachesis Academy’s Basic Elemental Magic Theory and Practice.

‘Why are you here?’

-……

A situation where everyone notices a sudden appearance of a court mage.

He’s a professor at Lachesis Academy, isn’t he?

“Old, my name is Court Mage Sistine Clutton.”

“Ah, hello…”

Her class skills were, to be honest, terrible.

Of course, teaching and skill are different, but

The appearance of her stuttering in the basic magic theory class made me doubt her qualifications.

No matter how you look at it, it is far from the appearance of a court mage.

Is it possible to do the right assignment…?

Everyone looked at Eliana about this, as if they had the same thought.

she said as if nothing was wrong.

“Well? Let’s start the assignment.”

.

.

.

“Is there the most important value for a court mage?”

“Eh?! Ah, I guess it must be for the emperor and the royal family…”

It’s not an interview, it’s the feeling of taking a restless person and interrogating him.

What is certain is that on her chest is a medal that symbolizes a court mage.

When it was Floria’s turn to ask questions, she whispered to the saintess.

“Prissy, ask one more question…”

“What?”

Floria tossed the chance to ask the saintess whether she disliked this atmosphere.

‘I’ll turn… I’ll turn.’

A sudden notice of murder, a situation where you have to do an assignment for someone out of the blue.

At what point does this have a divergence point…?

‘Ah-oh.’

What’s even more painful is that Professor Systein keeps looking at me.

‘I think I’m going crazy…’

Looking at me from a 3rd person perspective is correct.

It’s hard to know for sure how the gaze is processed because it’s covered by the glasses, but it definitely feels that way.

That woman also has business with me.

‘Why did you come all the way here!’

If I was going to do the assignment with Professor Systein in the first place, I would have had an interview at the academy.

But, why did you call me into the Eliana family… there must be a reason, right?

‘Really, a two-week East Continent Cruise was the answer.’

Yeah, that wasn’t a full course of human trafficking, was it?

no. First of all, let’s think about it once.

I straightened my pen.

“Professor Systein, is there a reason you agreed to this interview?”

“Hup!”

She looked a little surprised at my sudden question, but then started to answer.

“Dew, I think I came here because of Professor Duke’s recommendation…”

If it’s Duke, he’s a professor in charge of magic precedents belonging to the Royal Class.

Above all, he is the one who gave me this task.

there’s definitely something

Then Floria turned her head to me and whispered.

“Hayu, isn’t this an opportunity?”

“A chance?”

“yes! In the course Professor Duke gave me, the court mage he personally recommended… I’m sure I got a score!”

Floria’s eyes sparkled.

Even if you graduate with just the right grades at Lachesis Academy, your life will go smoothly.

For her, graduating with the highest grades possible for her family became her goal.

At that time, Professor Systein asked me while adjusting his glasses.

“Lee Ha-yu? Again… Anything else to ask?”

If you dare to pinpoint me, you’re really interested in something.

“There is not.”

If the court mage recommended by Professor Duke is a court mage, but…

How the hell did this situation come about?

Eliana would know.

But she just kept her mouth shut, eagerly shorthanding the contents of the interview.

Isabella is like that, and all the people who approach first are always behind.

-oh!

-Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

At that time, Floria’s data fell towards Systein, making the papers tangled on the floor.

“I’m sorry!”

The two of them hurriedly gathered it under the table.

The moment I was about to pick up the paper that came to me.

-Suddenly.

Taking advantage of that gap, a note was delivered to me on the floor.

‘?! what.’

– Curl.

I carefully opened the note in my hand.

—————–

Tonight, close the door,

Instead, slightly open the window,

Please be alone.

I know.

Let me help you.

—————–

‘You know?’

It would be welcome if the court mage could help me even if I knew my remaining lifespan.

Where do you see this pattern a lot?

-Suddenly.

‘?!’

And when I came back to the table, there was also a piece of paper on the desk.

—————–

Tonight,

wait a minute look at me

I have something to say.

—————–

If you look at the handwriting… it’s Lane.
