The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 059. ignition (1)

Coincidentally, there were many luxurious shops around the academy targeting professors and children of aristocratic families.

I headed to the place I had heard of the most in Roan’s memory.

“and! can i come in here… ?”

When Dante arrives at the subject he asked to be taken to, he hesitates as if he has died inside the luxurious shop.

It is in contrast to Yuriel standing and waiting for guidance.

“Don’t be pretentious and come in.”

“It’s not a townie… !”

He reflexively reacted to my words and approached me, looking at the surroundings in surprise.

“hey. Aren’t I kicked out?”

“what? why.”

“The clothes are like this… .”

Even when he looked around, he seemed to be worried because he was the only one who looked like a commoner.

He smiled at the needless worry and replied.

“Nothing like that. If you kick them out, I’m going to run this store.”

“… … !!”

If not pushing it away, it can make it quite difficult.

Of course, it’s not that I really intend to do that, I deliberately said it so that people around me can hear it, so I want it to not happen.

The manager came and asked.

“Are you three of us?”

I heard it clearly when I looked at it slightly and put emphasis on ‘three people’.

Nodding his head, he continued.

“Do you have a seat you would like?”

“Is there a seat upstairs?”

“There is one empty by the window.”

“I will go there.”

Meal came out soon.

Dante’s eyes widened as he ate a piece of lightly cooked meat.

“oh my god. Do you eat these things every day? … yo. this?”

Again, ‘You’re an aristocrat… ” muttered Dante.

As I said, the food was very delicious in my mouth.

‘I’ll have to bring Noah later.’

Unfortunately, we couldn’t be together today.

It’s not suitable because it’s a place that serves as an apology.

Also, it is because I am still uncomfortable in such a crowded store.

‘Are you going to be wrapped?’

Still, when I eat, I think I should take a few points.

Dante asked.

“But is that real?”

“what?”

“They said they were going to run the store… .”

“Really? I was told to listen.”

I was dumbfounded and asked.

I wonder if I sincerely did that.

But Dante nodded seriously.

“I think you can somehow.”

“uh?”

“No kidding, sometimes you feel a little creepy.”

Even Yuriel, who was eating quietly, nodded.

“that’s right.”

Usually, he is so gentle that it is hard to believe that he is a samurai, but sometimes he is cold as if he has changed people.

I asked with a bewildered expression at the sudden arrow.

“I?”

“uh. what was it Back when there was talk about the treatment of death row inmates. Do you remember what you said then?”

“uh.”

It’s been less than a year, but of course I don’t remember a single mistake.

I’m sure you said why did you leave the death row inmate?

He said, ‘It’s something to kill anyway, but I’ll send it to the battlefield.’

“Why is this?”

“… You don’t usually say that. Apart from right and wrong.”

“Do you think so too?”

“Sometimes I feel uncomfortable because people seem to have changed so much.”

Yuriel also expressed a roundabout agreement.

After choosing her words for a moment, she found an appropriate expression and continued.

“It feels like you can selectively turn your emotions on and off.”

“that’s right.”

He’s usually very human, but at times he’s cold enough to look ruthless, so it feels strange.

Right now, just like last week.

“uh… . okay?”

It was a little disconcerting.

Of course, it’s true that I was weird last week, but I didn’t think I would think that way normally.

Of course, I can’t confidently say that I’m a good person, but at least I thought I was a consistent person… .

“You are consistent. But it is consistent even in situations where it is not normally consistent.”

“ah… .”

That’s why they say they’ll do well if they become commanders or knights.

Because he is moderately human and can make a cool judgment when necessary.

But ‘um… .’ He salivated and added a word.

“Instead, the members might have a hard time?”

“… … .”

He may have just said it, but it oddly hinted at his future.

So instead of answering, I quietly pushed a plate in front of Dante.

“… ? Come on.”

“Eat a lot.”

Dante was embarrassed by the sudden kindness, but he didn’t mind giving it.

“I really enjoyed the meal.”

“bye.”

After finishing the meal in such a friendly atmosphere, I wrapped up a little of Noah’s things and parted ways with Uriel and Dante.

* * *

The assassination of the apostle candidate, which was envoyed by arbitrary judgment, fails.

Ymir was summoned by the monarch and headed to a hideout located in a secret place in a corner of the continent.

‘sh*t.’

Anticipating the punishment, Ymir wrinkled his brow.

It was because it was difficult to hope for a light punishment because it was a call after a series of failures.

However, there was no expected punishment.

He only said one meaningful word.

“The qualifications of the corps commander are questionable.”

“… … !!”

thud!

The moment he heard that emotionless voice, Ymir felt his heart stop.

The overwhelming fear of all ‘Evil’ rulers made even the ruler of one race dry up his mouth.

For him, who had already committed many mistakes, it sounded like it was his last chance.

No, considering the monarch’s disposition, this would not be a simple feeling, but would be closer to the truth.

‘… I have to prove it!’

In order to survive, he had to show that he was a necessary existence for the great world.

Ymir, whose feet were on fire, immediately took action.

By attacking the kingdom, he had to make a criminal record to rectify his mistakes.

However, it was difficult to penetrate the border with Dark Elf-oriented troops.

A possible way is to encroach on it from the inside.

‘I have to restore mines first.’

To do so, it was necessary to infiltrate the Dark Elves and create replacements for the Hwarans and other demons who had died.

‘I need to draw some attention.’

Even if it doesn’t have the destructive power to break through the lines like Balak’s army, it’s enough to divert attention.

‘I just have to make sure.’

Having made that decision, Ymir summoned an army.

Even if it seems a bit excessive, it is because you should never fail this time.

War clouds began to roll over the borders of Terria Kingdom.

Contrary to what I initially thought would be quite territorial, I was able to quickly blend in with the upper class cadets.

Of course, his friendship with Uriel would have helped, but the fact that he had subdued the troll last time had a bigger impact.

Because you saved someone’s life.

Rumors quickly spread that the cadet who owed his life to me had the wide feet at the academy.

Thanks to this, I was able to chat with the members of the team who were quite uncomfortable with me until the last test.

“Hello, Roan.”

“Ugh. Did you pass the exam well?”

“so-so.”

“The hand.”

“It’s all better now.”

Not only this, but now, invitations to banquets and gatherings from students in other departments, not cadets from the Knights Faculty, came from time to time.

Even just this week, there were quite a few cases where people were told through the attendants who were in the family and could come.

‘but. Originally, this is normal.’

Actually, considering the background, it has been strangely quiet up until now.

“hmm… .”

When you are contemplating whether or not to hold a letter engraved with luxurious patterns.

Uriel, who had been watching them as they walked together, spoke.

“I also received a lot in the past.”

“In the old days?”

“I refused all of them, and now they don’t come.”

I don’t see myself as a knight, but as a woman.

He said he didn’t go because he didn’t like it.

and.

“In most cases, the purpose is political in the first place.”

“Ah, indeed.”

In the case of students from aristocratic families, actually, the academy was more like a place to make future connections than a place to study.

Departments other than the Faculty of Engineering stand out in particular.

“And in the case of Roan… . It seems that Sir Ian is the target rather than Roan in most cases.”

“huh?”

“Look at the letter. Aren’t most of the female seniors in the graduating class? When I think of the age of Lee Ahn now… .”

Well, it’s not uncommon in this world that a mate hasn’t been decided yet at Ian’s age.

I completely gave up on thinking about going to Yuriel’s sharp analysis.

Because I couldn’t just hand over my Ian(?) to these guys.

“yes?”

“Nothing.”

Yuriel, who tilted her head, parted ways and returned to the dormitory.

But Noah, who was always seen in the garden, was nowhere to be seen today.

“Are you out?”

Surprisingly, it seemed to have really gone out.

I looked in the garden and inside the house, even on the roof, but when I saw that it was not there.

Instead, there were two letters on the desk in my room, probably because Noah had left them before leaving.

One was from Müller, and the one next to it was from my father, judging by the family signature.

“what? suddenly.”

I opened it from the one Müller sent.

I wondered if they had already created a sub-organization, but the content of the letter that followed was far beyond expectations.

In the Duchy of Flanders, which was ordered to be watched, there were a lot of new faces recently.

[As a result of the investigation, most of them were envoys from other families. I guess… .]

It seems that he is trying to hold a wedding talk with another influential family.

However, it is said that they have not been able to find out which family the opponent is from.

But somehow I felt like I knew.

Isn’t the timing so blatantly right?

It could have been a coincidence, of course, but a few things the duke could not think of to send a letter to.

“… … .”

I opened the letter from my father.

* * *

Uriel, separated from Roan at the fork in the road, steps forward with a distraught expression.

“Whoa.”

She let out a small sigh, recalling what she had just said.

‘It seems that most of the cases are aimed at Sir Ian rather than Roan.’

… It may not be true.

How could I know what the other young ladies were thinking when I myself wouldn’t go to such a gathering?

Still, I said that simply because I didn’t want Roan to go to the meeting.

And I was confused because I didn’t know why.

From noble mtl dot com

‘… … .’

Simply explaining, ‘I don’t like Roan, whom I considered a competitor, distracting me’ is not enough.

“… … .”

For the first time in my life, I want to move slowly with the strange feeling of guilt and unpleasant feeling.

“miss.”

“?”

Uriel turned his head at the familiar voice he heard from behind.

The family escort with a familiar face was there.

“Sir Ruff?”

“long time no see.”

The knight called Sir Ruff raised an angular greeting to Uriel.

However, Yuriel’s expression turned cold.

she opened her mouth

“Didn’t I tell you not to come because you don’t need an escort before?”

“… … .”

“Did you forget already?”

Just as Amy was attached to Roan, sons of noble families can have one servant.

However, Uriel, who did not want to lend a hand to the family, said he would not use an escort or an attendant.

“No, it must have been surveillance, not my service in the first place.”

“that… .”

“Isn’t it?”

The escort knight kept his mouth shut.

However, he soon returned to his initial expressionless expression and continued speaking calmly.

“sorry. I came today because I have something important to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“… The family is trying to arrange a marriage ceremony for the young lady.”

flinch.

Uriel’s fingertips trembled.

“I refuse.”

“If you listen to the other person… .”

“I hate whoever it is! go.”

It seemed that he would not be able to hold back his anger if the conversation dragged on, so Uriel cut off his words with a single knife.

And then he turned around and moved on.

“Roan Karziel.”

pop.

The words of the escort made him freeze before he could even take a few steps.

“What now… .”

Uriel stutters unanswerably.

Facing her like that, the escort continued.

“Princess Roan Karziel is the lady’s marriage partner this time.”
