There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

26. glass

It was the difference between being hit first or being hit late.

It was an established fact that he would be beaten the moment he didn’t choose Luna anyway.

I just didn’t know it would fit so quickly.

I started scratching my head again.

What can I say to cover up that I wanted to avoid the moment when I had to choose between Seria and Luna?

“Luna… I…”

I spoke in a slightly confident tone.

Luna, who seemed to be trying to nag me, seemed a little taken aback.

“What? What’s up?”

Luna asked me with a tone of worry.

“It’s not like that… I… ever since I was a kid… I wanted to go to school…”

The demons knew that there was no separate academy or school.

Luna answered in a tone that did not understand but sympathized.

“Ugh… uh… school is good… school…”

It was cute that she accepted my acting without understanding a thing.

“I… I really wanted to go… I wanted to make friends…”

I looked at the floor with a deep sigh, and sneakily checked Luna’s reaction.

She couldn’t say anything about it and had this expression.

The trick of using my pitiful past was cowardly, but the effect was staggering.

It was as planned.

It seemed like I just had to push a little harder.

“Of course, it’s nice to party with Luna, but I wanted to get a feel for what it would be like to go to school with other people for a while.”

After saying that, I looked up at the sky with the most lonely eyes.

I also wanted to applaud my acting skills.

Luna stroked my back as if she was sorry for my words.

“I see… Sirius… I get it… I think you can make that choice for that reason…”

lived… after…

“Thank you. Luna. As expected, you are the only one!”

I sincerely thanked Luna.

Luna had a happy face as if her mood had improved at my words.

I wondered how pretty it would be if I just smiled like this every day.

Luna, who had been exchanging trivial conversations, asked me as if she had suddenly remembered something.

“Who was your party member?”

“Me… Kane, Raven, and Yuri!”

Each person’s face was drawn in my head.

“Sure… the girl… Raven? Was it the one?”

Yuri replied that there was something of an androgynous side to him, but he was a Raven person.

“huh.”

“The kid wearing that mask?”

Certainly, when I think of Raven, the only thing that comes to mind is the mask.

“huh.”

“Hmm…”

Luna seemed to be worried about something, but soon she brightened up again and seemed to have come to a conclusion.

“That’s about it.”

I don’t know what process the word came out through, but it didn’t matter as long as it didn’t bother me.

Fortunately, Luna, who seemed to be in a better mood, arrived at the dormitory and didn’t bully me.

And after tasting a nap for the first time in a while, I opened my eyes and was ecstatic that it was night.

Wow… I opened my eyes… It’s night…!

This may have been nothing to other people, but to me it was a small, small, tremendous happiness.

When I left the window open and the night breeze blew into the room, I felt better.

Surely tomorrow… was the day Yuri decided what to do.

Yuri had told us to be out the front door by 9:00 in the morning.

Apparently, he was thinking of taking us out of the academy and going somewhere.

Still, I thought Yuri was the least decent person in our party.

Kane said he was annoyed openly on his face, and Raven didn’t speak well in the first place and couldn’t see his expression through the mask.

Come to think of it, it was the first time I was in the human world outside the academy.

The tiny Homeron village and the academy were all I knew of the human world.

It was thrilling.

I felt like an unknown world was waiting for me.

Even though I thought so, it was kind of funny to see me, who became a demon, beating the human world.

I felt that I had become a real stranger.

With my heart pounding and feeling bitter, I waited for tomorrow like that.

9 o’clock in the morning. All of our party members arrived on time.

It seemed that Yuri had come before us and was getting ready.

He had packed something, but when I looked closely, it was a bow and arrows.

“Hello! Sirius!”

“Good morning, Yuri.”

He smiled cheerfully and greeted me.

“What is this all about? Shall we go hunting together today?”

He was taken aback and replied.

“Have you noticed already…?”

Are you stupid… you…

If you brought the number of bows, there was only common sense to do archery practice or hunting.

Even more so, if it was archery practice, it was enough to do it at the gymnasium, not outside.

It’s an obvious story, but Yuri was rather surprised.

“Ah~ I like the day~ It’s just a good day for hunting!”

Even I thought I was a very kind person. This doesn’t even give me a face.

Yuri seemed to have prepared a bow that suited our physique.

From nob le mt l. co m

Kane’s and Raven’s were almost twice as large.

“So are you going hunting?”

From nob le mt l. co m

Kane, with a bow on his back, spoke cheerfully.

“To Kane?”

No, that means you’re lax.

I laughed out loud at Yuri’s surprised look again.

Raven hasn’t said a word since coming out today.

Instead, she quietly put the bow Yuri had given her on her shoulder and nodded.

“Okay. Then, it looks like everything is ready, so let’s go!”

Yuri smiled as if in a good mood and led us through the front gate and into the woods.

Without saying a word, we followed Yuri all the way into the forest.

The sun was bright in the right weather, so it was a perfect day for hunting.

Yuri stopped at a place about halfway up the mountain and asked to listen to his story.

“I’ve been thinking about it a lot? What do we do together to show ourselves better and make communication easier between us?”

It was a more exemplary start than expected.

From nob le mt l. co m

Kane and Raven, me and I listened to the explanation while blinking our eyes.

“So I’m going to show you guys my specialty, archery. Of course, we’ll enjoy hunting together after a while.”

Yuri took out the bow he wore on his back, drew an arrow and drew the string.

“For me… First of all, my eyes are very good.”

After tightening the string, he sent an arrow from his hand.

The arrow went straight into the middle of the tree.

It could be said that it was a neat skill, but there was no way it could be ranked 1st like this.

It was clear there was something more.

“Hey. I can shoot that much.”

From nob le mt l. co m

Kane crossed his arms and replied.

In fact, I also agreed to some extent, so I looked at Yuri.

Yuri scratched her head shyly.

“Everyone. Could you bring me the arrow that’s stuck over there?”

this guy. Has it reached the level of recycling arrows because of lack of money?

With these thoughts in mind, I walked towards the tree and tried to draw an arrow, but I was startled.

At the tip of the arrow, a small insect had been pierced right in the middle of the body and was dead.

Seeing Kane startled, it seemed he saw it too.

Hitting this at that distance… It sure seemed like he had good eyesight.

Yuri smiled and said nothing.

Perhaps the changed atmosphere made us feel a little better.

“Hmm… Hmm! At this level, you know that support from a distance is quite possible, right?”

Yuri is a man, but he definitely had a cute side to him. It was kind of silly, though.

And sure, I shot just one arrow, but when I thought about dealing with him, I thought it would be terribly annoying.

No matter how many magics I could use, I thought that a street fight would be a landslide victory for Yuri.

“So is it over?”

From nob le mt l. co m

Kane spoke as if he were a bit bland.

“It can’t be.”

Yuri took out a white handkerchief from inside his uniform and tied it around his forearm.

I still hadn’t quite figured out what I was going to do.

“Before the full-scale hunting, let’s play a game.”

“A game?”

I questioned.

“Play tag. We. If any of you take the handkerchief tied around my forearm, you win.”

Aww. get drunk

I wasn’t at all confident in hit-and-run combat, but I was confident in my speed.

From nob le mt l. co m

Kane also began to warm up with a confident face.

Raven still didn’t say anything and just stared at Yuri in silence.

At this rate, I wondered if Raven was actually cursed with being unable to speak.

“Now, if you count to five in a loud voice, I’ll run away.”

“One Two Three Four Five…!”

Once I counted to five.

Even if we ran so far that we couldn’t see it at all, we were going to chase it, but Yuri stood still with only a slight distance from us.

okay. I’m confident.

From nob le mt l. co m

Kane seemed a little pissed off too, so he leaped ahead of me toward him.

Despite his considerable size, Kane moved towards Yuri with explosive speed.

Yuri smiled at Kane as he approached, then disappeared from sight for a moment.

Then, like a lie, she appeared under Kane and stepped on his shin.

From nob le mt l. co m

Kane, who momentarily lost his balance, barely managed to hold on without falling.

“Would you like to try it too? Sirius?”

I didn’t care about Kane looking back, it was Yuri who provoked me.

“Then don’t hesitate.”

From the moment I stepped on my feet, I ran with all my heart.

At this point, it seemed more accurate to say that I was flying rather than running.

Yuri’s pupils widened as if surprised by my speed, but he also started accelerating to match my speed.

I ran through the woods trying with all my might to untie Yuri’s handkerchief, but in the end I couldn’t even put a finger on it and fell out.

After all, the magician’s stamina was the same as that of a lantern in front of the wind.

But this time, Yuri also felt that her breathing was a little quickened.

The speed was really fast. the glass.

“Basically, it’s important for an archer to be stable and not caught from a distance. If he gets caught, it’s a nuisance to the party members.”

okay. no matter what party you go to If you run away, it will go well.

I had no choice but to admit it.

And the last remaining runner, Raven.

Yuri almost gave up on Raven.

“Would you like to try it once, Mr. Raven?”

As a courtesy, I guess I thought it was right to ask.

Raven nodded.

And as if Raven was being sucked into the ground, his entire body disappeared into the ground.

The three of us left behind looked around to find where Raven had moved.

It seems to be a different magic than teleportation, but I couldn’t figure out the identity.

The moment everyone was looking for her. Kane and I were stunned.

It was because Raven crept up from the shadow of the glass without any sign or sound.

Yuri, who seemed to have gone crazy because he didn’t have a presence, hurriedly turned around, but it was already too late.

In Raven’s hand was Yuri’s handkerchief.

“…Is it Raven’s victory?”

Raven’s voice was prettier than I thought.
