83 – Reunion (4)

My academy vacation schedule is light but regular.

In the morning, he helps with Shunika, who is training at the gymnasium, and in the afternoon, he spends time with Delia, his lover and employee, while selling <Moonlight Night> himself and developing magic tools.

In the evening, I usually have a date with Ruen, and personal business.

I promised to spend time with Karin even before vacation, and there were definitely things to talk about with her… .

Karin, a member of the Royal Guard, has been too busy to meet her since the outbreak of the all-out war against the ‘double gate’.

Even if she wanted to take a vacation, the urgent situation on the continent and the lack of manpower did not leave her alone.

Besides, the warriors leading it from the front were prominent figures such as the knight leader, Earl Polgram, and the continent’s greatest warrior, Ludgale Liquid… It was dishonorable for a future hero not to follow these people at an important moment.

If there is nothing special, I would like to join the procession, but this vacation has been very busy with the opening of <Moonlight Night>.

In particular, teaching Chris Akryon, who stands out as a golem alchemist, was more fun than I thought.

It was a talent that would allow me to create my own golem, [Vita Taker], after a year.

On the outside, I just called him an advisor, but I also thought of Chris as a disciple and taught him pretty diligently.

After spending time like that, before I knew it, there were about two weeks of vacation left.

Ruen and I were on our way to play at the invitation of Schnika’s house today.

The center of the zodiacal Felix.

Inside the carriage heading to Shunika’s house located near the imperial palace.

The three of us sat together in one place for the first time in a while.

and… .

“Death!”

Shunica looked at Ruen and me with her arms crossed with a pouting expression on her face.

In the hand of Ruen sitting next to him… My hands were folded together.

“I liked you first! I want to hold Satchel’s hand too!”

“You can catch it… .”

“That’s not allowed. It’s Ruen’s time now.”

What the hell is your logic… .

I let out a big sigh at Shunika’s expression, as if she had said something really fair.

Somehow, compared to when we were friends, it feels like we got closer to each other more casually after we dated.

Is this the extreme of an extroverted personality? .

Shunika was in the middle of a recent sparring.

He revealed that he was meeting with Ruen and Delia.

The fact that he was confessed to by Luen, and later confirmed his feelings with his junior, Delia, and started dating them.

I could have kept hiding it if I wanted to, but I didn’t want to lie like that to my best friend Schnika after the vacation was over.

When Schnika first heard about it.

I was quite shocked enough to bring tears to my eyes, but…

Soon after, it was able to change to a bright face.

After explaining all the circumstances, I immediately confessed to Schnika.

-It wasn’t until after meeting the two of them that I got to know my heart clearly. As much as I like Ruen and Delia, I love Schnika too. I must have found out about it too late. how about schnika?

It’s embarrassing, but that’s what I actually said.

Unlike when he met Ruen and Delia, he confessed to Shunica first.

Accepting the affection I received from them, I was able to find out what I really liked and who the people I liked were.

After being honest with my own feelings, I saw things I hadn’t seen before.

My life was empty at the beginning.

Everyone who has passed me in the past has filled this up.

From being born in a slash-and-burn village in Mount Armain to learning about the world.

From being adopted into the Philip family to becoming a full-fledged aristocrat of Apelliche.

From entering the academy to growing up as an undergraduate student and an alchemist.

Cloudy Lazur in Mount Armaine.

In the Philip family, Karin Phillip.

At the academy, various people including Ruen, Delia, and Schunika.

Many people who met me or met me filled the empty inside of me, and it is only recently that I have been able to look straight at those feelings.

love.

Although it is still difficult to articulate him.

At least, what I received from Karin, Ruen, Delia, and Schnika was overflowing love, and I wanted to call the feeling I would give them as love.

Thanks to that, I was able to confess in front of Schnika without thinking about anything.

It was the result of following only my heart and the way I was drawn to her.

Fortunately, Shunika accepted my confession, and we are happily dating… .

“Anyway, let it be!”

Like before, when I was with Ruen like this, I would cross my arms and make that kind of sad expression.

Of course, not the truth.

Unlike her tomboyish personality, Schnika respects and understands Ruen and Delia.

I hope that they will be considerate of their time to meet me and move toward a bright future together.

therefore… That’s just making fun of Ruen and me.

Because we were friends before we were lovers.

“Ruen, your face is red.”

“… no.”

“lol. lie Ruen’s face gets redder when he lies. Right, Satchel?”

“Shunika… stop playing around Then, Ruen will cry.”

“Satchel, have you ever seen Ruen cry?”

“No, but… ”

“right? Even though our Ruen blushes, she never cries… Ugh?!”

I approached Schnika, who was playing the prank again, and took her in my arms.

I thought if I left it alone, they would tease me until the wagon arrived.

Shunika was flustered by the sudden hug.

“Now, wait a minute, Satchel… ”

“why?”

“You are too close… ”

“Can I kiss you too?”

“Feel?!”

This time I kissed Shunika who was surprised.

It’s not even a French kiss, it’s a light kiss.

Schnika was distracted by the skinship that flew in succession.

He was so excited that he made fun of Ruen and me… .

Uncharacteristically for her, her flustered appearance was fresh and cute.

Ruen, who was blushing at Shunica’s prank and lowered her head, was looking at us with strange eyes before she knew it.

“… Envy Schnika.”

“… It’s okay.”

Schunika held her breath, and I laughed inwardly.

Ruen did her best to do it in her own way…

I was making fun of Schnika.

I realize that the two of them were close friends before they were my lovers.

The spirit of the two of them not wanting to miss seeing their friend for the first time is very impressive.

“Shunika, then are all your parents here today?”

“huh. Dad said he’s off work today too. Let’s have dinner together.”

Schnika’s father is a retired warrior, and now works as a carpenter at a nearby carpentry shop.

Even though they had saved up enough money in their active years, the retired warriors were so itchy that they couldn’t seem to stay at home.

Inheriting that will, her daughter, Schunika, is also a swordsman warrior who wields a giant sword with strong muscular strength.

Even the chef of the imperial palace, Schunika’s mother, who always provides a balanced diet to such a father and daughter.

This is the first time I’m going to see them in person, but they’ve been a harmonious family.

‘brother is… .’

In order not to make a mistake, I deliberately did not mention my brother’s title.

Before dating Shunika, she had told me about it before.

He lost his older brother in the Demon War when he was very young.

It’s such a childhood memory, I can’t even remember my brother’s face well.

She spoke calmly, as if retracing past traces, but the huge scars left by the demons would not have healed for a long time from the Shunica family.

Because of that, I heard that even when Schnika was selected as a hero, her parents strongly opposed it.

‘Still, she grew up beautifully.’

Especially today, the blue short hair of the schnikah was pretty.

It’s funny that I’m the same age and say this and that, but I was proud of her for overcoming the wounds of the past and growing up well.

No matter how young it is, the parent’s attitude towards him will remain in the child’s memory.

Schnika’s parents’ unintentional trivial actions may have hurt Schnika.

‘Evil… .’

Demons take a lot from humans.

Nature, habitat, food, and… life.

The owner of that life sometimes becomes a friend, sometimes a colleague, and sometimes a family member.

In the long history of the continent, people have lost too many close ones.

Me and the precious people around me.

Most of them had the experience of losing their families due to demons.

War comes every 10 years, and there are still many demons on the continent.

The precious people next to me became lovers before I knew it, and my desire to protect them grew stronger.

I haven’t come to a conclusion with Karin yet…

She is also my one and only precious family.

In order to protect them, I decided to become stronger than I am now.

I have many talents other than alchemy, and I still have a lot of room to become stronger.

“Satchel, your expression is weird right now.”

“uh? How is it?”

“Something spleen. He looks like a man going to war.”

“Is it? sorry. Think about something else for a second.”

“Hi-Hi. It’s stupid.”

“what?”

She immediately punished Schnika for playing a prank again.

This time, it was a light kiss that touched the neck, not the mouth.

… Was it too hot?

Shunica’s face was dyed red, just like Ruen from before.

“Oh… ?!”

“… Envy Schnika.”

It was a peaceful carriage journey.
