The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 069. Escort Missions (1)

late night.

After hiding in the palace as usual, he met Iris and started treatment.

[let’s begin.]

“yes.”

After making him drink the medicine, he puts his hand on his back and causes mana.

Iris’s face softens slightly, probably because of the cool feeling.

“… … .”

“oh.”

Then, when our eyes met, he turned his head and twisted his body around.

After getting into such a comfortable position, she started talking to me as usual.

“Big. excuse me.”

[yes.]

“if… .”

But today, unlike usual, the time to choose a question was a little longer.

Unlike last time, when I even made a questionnaire, today, ‘maybe, perhaps…’ .’ He continues to mumble and touch his fingers.

When you’re curious about something to ask.

If she had found the right question, she continued.

“How old are you, by any chance?”

“… ?”

“I’m curious about something… . Let’s start by answering.”

After thinking about it for a while, I told her my age based on the original world.

[I am 26 years old.]

“what. Less than you think? I thought I was in my 30s.”

[How do you predict when you haven’t even seen his face?]

“It feels like that. Anyway, I’ve been thinking about it.

“?”

“You said before what you would like to do when you can go outside.”

I once asked him if he would set the tone for a conversation.

I didn’t ask too much interest, but Iris seemed to have been thinking about it all along.

“At my age, you must be attending an ordinary academy, right?”

[no. You must be working.]

Iris is 17 this year.

I wouldn’t know if it was Korea, but in this world, it’s normal to work at this age.

That’s why he corrected it, but Iris replied with a tantrum, asking if she didn’t know that.

“If they are young girls my age! A lot of them must be attending the academy, right?”

It seems that he should have noticed that his eyes became sharp all at once.

Kids of this age answered with the thought that it was very difficult.

[…] yes. If you’re the age of the princess, you’re probably a freshman.]

As I answered, I realized why Iris brought up this story.

as expected. She said.

“When I feel better, I want to go too.”

[Is there anything you want to learn?]

“There are too many. And, I wish I had friends… .”

The last words got smaller and smaller, and eventually became a small voice as if crawling in.

It must have been embarrassing to blush a little.

I held back the laughter that was about to leak out and offered words of comfort.

[Originally, I live alone in the world.]

“… ! Because this is unavoidable!?”

[Who said what?]

Iris, whose face and ear lobe were flushed from being stabbed in the middle, spread her fingers wide and said.

“Anyway, were you twenty-six? A knight of that age would have gone to the academy. Please tell me about your school days.”

“?”

“When I enter the school later, I can’t talk to the other young girls and get out of the way.”

… Putting aside the fact that he thought of me as a knight for some reason, I knew what he meant.

He said he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to communicate with the other young girls.

Before that, I had a question.

[Are you going to be accepted?]

“I don’t know. But, why don’t we ask Obama?”

[…] Then it will work.]

“Then let’s talk.”

I ask with my eyes shining brightly.

There was no reason not to let me know because I had no time left and I was bored to just treat myself.

However, there are many things that can identify me in the academy story, so instead, I appropriately dramatized the story I experienced as a college student.

[This is about when I was a freshman… .]

Iris listened with interest to my trivial words.

By the time the moonlight became clear.

treatment is over.

I removed my hand from her back and saved mana once.

“So what next?”

“… … .”

Iris asked as if urging me into my stopped hand.

She was immersed in the story and did not even know that the treatment was over.

‘How far did you go?’

I even talked about being in the same group as the villains of the group task, suffering throughout the task, and then the day of the announcement.

According to the flow, it was clear that the true education scene would come next, so Iris was waiting for the back story with a thrilling expression.

but.

‘hmm… .’

After rolling the pen for a while, I checked outside and said,

[I will end here for today.]

“… I beg your pardon!?”

Iris is shocked.

He opened his mouth wide and looked this way with a stunned expression.

[Too late. I will tell you later.]

I’m sorry I cut you off at an important part, but it shouldn’t be too late once I’ve said everything.

“yes? ah… .”

Iris, realizing that it was late at night, let out a sigh.

It was time for me and herself to sleep, so she nodded her head with a look of regret.

“Bye.”

“… … .”

When I was about to leave after checking my surroundings while standing on the railing.

Iris joined and clapped her hands.

“… Oh yes, I have something to tell you.”

“?”

“I’m telling you in advance in case you forget, but you don’t have to come next month, so in four weeks.”

you don’t have to come?

Recently, Iris Ki, who was waiting for me to come, asked a question.

[Why?]

“Even if I come, I won’t be there that day. I’m afraid I’ll walk in vain.”

ah.

At those words, I immediately realized that the date of the princess’ outing was approaching.

With the help of the church, I can only go out for one week a year, and that seems to be the day.

Looking at me without an answer, Iris asked with an anxious expression.

“Isn’t it that you shouldn’t miss even one treatment?”

[no. it’s okay.]

“Whew.”

The treatment that has been done is not going anywhere.

It’s just that the cure is delayed by a week.

‘It’s best to get better as soon as possible… .’

There’s no way to stop it, and since it’s an outing you’ve been waiting for for a year, you should enjoy this much.

‘Well, about once.’

But a few days later, the academy.

Something a little unexpected happened.

“An official letter has come down from the royal family.”

before class starts.

These were the words the instructor who arrived a little late gathered the cadets together.

“Notice… ?”

“It seems to be a linkage mission.”

Amidst the buzzing cadets, Uriel noticed quickly and whispered.

The upper classes often have missions related to the royal family, but that seems to be the case.

“What mission?”

“I don’t know that far. ah.”

Yuriel shuts her mouth.

I looked ahead and the instructor was looking this way.

“Roan, Uriel.”

“yes.”

“The two of you should go see the instructor after class today.”

Seeing that only the top two were called, it seemed like it was because of the mission, as Uriel expected.

However, when class was over and I went to see the instructor.

“Two months later. I want you to act as an escort for the princess.”

“… !”

It was of a completely unexpected kind.

* * *

A mission to connect with the royal family.

I didn’t designate anyone to come down, but the instructor said that the two of us were designated.

Their grades are also at the top, and since they are both children of ducal families, they are not lacking in serving the princess.

It must have been the best appointment in many ways.

I don’t know, but Uriel is even more. Because female knights aren’t common anywhere.

If you have a grade like that, you will be unique even if you search all grades.

“Uh… .”

“… … .”

When exchanging glances with Yuriel at the sudden suggestion, the instructor’s words continued.

“It doesn’t matter if I refuse because I didn’t designate someone in particular. but… .”

However, if you accept it, it is said that this mission was ordered by His Majesty the King, so there will be benefits later.

“What are you going to do?”

“I’ll do it.”

To that, I answered without any hesitation.

It is because it is better to accumulate achievements in advance because there may be many things to be owed to the royal family later.

“I will do it too.”

After hearing my answer, Yuriel also answered a little later.

The instructor was relieved and at the same time nodded with a slightly grateful expression.

From his point of view, there would have been no personnel to replace us.

At that time, Yuriel, who had always been curious, asked.

“But I have a question.”

“what?”

“Will you be an escort to our level? I’m a sophomore now… .”

This was something I was curious about too.

It is true that no matter how top-level cadets are, they are lacking compared to active duty knights.

It was because I couldn’t understand how to set such people up as the princess’s escorts.

the instructor replied.

“I don’t think it would be a serious escort. Because a separate knight corps was formed for escort.”

“yes?”

Yuriel tilted her head.

It was because the question arose whether our existence was necessary if the Knights had been formed separately.

“I don’t know the details. Ah, but Her Highness, the princess, was quite stubborn and said that she wanted the 1st and 2nd year students as escorts.”

“… ??”

In the explanation that followed, Yuriel looked even more confused, but I understood the general reason from the instructor’s words and what happened a few days ago.

Why did he want to escort a cadet from the Knights Faculty, even to the 1st and 2nd years?

‘… I missed seeing my peers.’

Judging from the fact that such an official letter came down after several days, it seems that what I said was quite impressive.

Originally, I was the age of a freshman in the first year of my first semester.

Since he has recently become more interested in the outside world, he must be curious about the appearance of cadets in his age.

‘Then the main task is not to escort… .’

Rather, it would be to become Iris’ companion.

“Ah, like that… .”

Hearing my plausible guess, Yuriel had an expression of both admiration and regret.

Strongly loyal to the royal family, she felt sorry for the princess.

said the instructor.

From noble mtl dot com

“Anyway, both of them accepted, so starting tomorrow, we have to train separately.”

“As for education… ?”

“It’s close to nominal, but first of all, it’s an escort. You should know the basics.”

So, he said he would take an hour apart from regular classes to educate us.

It was right, and since he said he would fill in the missing grades, there was no reason to refuse.

“All right.”

northern kingdom.

Ymir, who hid in the depths of the mountains to avoid the kingdom’s knights who were pursuing him, gathered the surviving demons.

“How long have you been together?”

“I am currently twenty-seven.”

It was to understand the internal situation and to make plans for the future.

“Report.”

“… … .”

However, the surviving demons generally had a gloomy view of the situation.

The overall power was greatly reduced, and it was an attack that the kingdom had already expected.

“For now, there is no answer in the royal capital.”

“… … .”

“I have to aim for the place where there is a gap in the troops… .”

It would not be easy to find gaps in the Mine power hiding in the military.

After a long time, no idea came up, so Ymir let out a drool.

‘I thought it was this much?’

When embarrassment comes to the darker-than-expected internal situation.

One of the demons opened its mouth.

“How about an assassination?”

“who.”

“I am royalty.”

The one with the lowest consumption value and the highest return value is always factor assassination.

But that also has a degree.

How to penetrate the royal palace, which must have been impenetrably secure.

All you have to do is hit a rock with an egg.

Ymir frowned and replied.

“It will fail.”

“I am not aiming for the palace.”

“… what?”

“It’s aimed at when Princess Iris goes out.”

“… … !!!”

I don’t know the location, but if you use the spy planted in the church, you can find out enough.

Because the princess was weak, she always had to receive help from the church.

“… … .”

Mine continued to speak towards Ymir, who had a serious expression.

“About a month left.”
