There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

43. story of acquaintance

Today, thanks to Raven’s ability, I returned to the academy relatively early.

The fact that the sun was still up proved it.

I felt like every day was too long because of frequent outings for the past few days.

And after coming back, I hardly remember taking a proper rest.

I was always arrested by Luna, so it became a daily routine for me to get scolded.

Still, I thought that I would be able to talk comfortably with Luna today.

Although he knew Raven’s secret, he had little physical or emotional contact with her.

That’s also true, she’s the kind of man who likes it… I’ll do it here.

“I felt quite a bit today! Raven!”

From nob le mt l. co m

Kane praised Raven.

Yuri also agreed with him.

“That’s right, Mr. Raven. It was a wonderful experience! I’ll definitely go with you next time!”

Raven nodded and looked at me.

“What are you doing tomorrow?”

Oh right. I’m in charge tomorrow.

In fact, it was difficult to give an immediate answer because the time appointment with Luna did not work properly.

Everyone looked at me and waited for my words.

“Um… First of all, everyone, please come to the gymnasium 1 by 10 o’clock!”

You should really drink tea on campus.

So without much thought, I said it was 10 o’clock and returned to the dormitory.

After all, I went up the stairs thinking that the 6th floor is not very good.

When I reached the hallway, Seria was coming out of the room.

“ah.”

Seria shuddered.

what. why are you surprised

Normally, she would actively approach me, but today, for some reason, she was very passive.

I wondered what was going on.

“Hello. Warrior.”

I greeted them with a sales smile.

“Ah… Hello… Sirius…”

her face went white.

I didn’t feel very good, as if I was being treated as someone I didn’t want to run into.

And as far as I remember, during the last meeting, she seemed to have said that she would not give up on me, but in the meantime, did she change her mind?

It was me who didn’t know.

I tried to enter my room, past her standing still in the hallway and staring blankly at me.

“Excuse me. Warrior.”

It was the moment I was about to pass her.

“Dog star.”

“yes?”

she grabbed my wrist

“I have a request.”

ask? suddenly?

“Please speak.”

I answered calmly.

“Did you eat…?”

We arrived at the cafeteria inside the academy.

It was still late in the evening, so there were quite a lot of people.

As expected, Seria was a hero, so whenever she passed by, she could feel the whispers of other classmates.

“That person is a warrior.”

“Really? Who’s behind?”

“Don’t you know? Haven’t you seen it?”

“I heard they were looking for someone during the entrance ceremony, isn’t that the person?”

“Something resembles it. Isn’t it yourself?”

“Hey, if you’re here, I’ll ask you to find something.”

“Well, it looks like you’re dragging it around.”

“If you really bring it, it will be abandoned. Poor fellow.”

“I must find it and take the last member of the warrior party~”

hey. i’m real

He barely managed to stop the words from rising up his throat.

Seria didn’t even budge, wondering if she wasn’t paying attention to what others said or if she was getting used to that kind of gaze.

She silently ordered food and sat down in a secluded seat with few people.

I followed her and sat across from her.

“Dog star.”

Holding a fork, she asked me.

“yes?”

“Who’s in charge of Sirius tomorrow?”

It was a very common question, so I answered comfortably.

“I’m in charge.”

“Have you thought of what you’re going to do?”

“hahahaha… Actually, I don’t know, so I decided to watch it at the gymnasium.”

“What time is it?”

I felt like I was being interrogated.

“Open.”

She nodded and started eating.

“So. You said you have a problem. What is it?”

In fact, the reason she was brought here from the hallway was because she requested counseling for her troubles.

It was difficult to refuse her asking for a meal together with her anxious eyes.

“Sirius. How long has Sirius worked for Luna?”

In fact, it hasn’t been long since I became a full-time employee, but considering how long I’ve known…

“Three years? It’s been about a year.”

Sarah’s eyes widened slightly.

ah. It was me who had a hunch that I had made another mistake.

Seria wanted to bite her tail at this time, but I had already prepared an answer.

“Then maybe before that…?”

“Is that the warrior’s concern?”

answered sternly.

“It’s not… it’s not…”

She shook her head.

“I’m sorry. Then I’ll start talking about my troubles.”

I wondered if he was still paying attention to the words that he couldn’t defeat his homeroom teacher’s demon king.

It’s kind of hard to get along…

Supporting the killing of Luna’s father was embarrassing enough for me.

“This… is not my story, but my servant Julia’s story…”

oh. I was always welcome if I had concerns about the people around me.

If the topic of conversation wasn’t about Yuwol’s whereabouts and defeating the demon king, I’d rather be curious about how Seria was doing.

“Because Julia served other nobles before being assigned to me.”

“yes yes.”

I nodded vigorously in an expression of sympathy.

“But I think I had a special relationship with that man.”

“A special relationship…?”

Sarah looked around for a moment.

“That… s*xually…”

I felt her face turn slightly red.

…because I said that this is a story of people around me.

Miss Julia? Because it was a story.

I could feel a cold sweat running down my face.

In fact, if the relationship between Luna and I was an ordinary lady and a butler, there would be no more promiscuous relationship than this.

Just last night, we woke up in the same bed.

“Ah… yes… I understand. Ahem…”

A cough came out.

“That… so?”

I asked.

“Originally… if you serve someone of a different gender… that’s what… will it…?”

Sarah shyly stammered out her question.

It was a question that was difficult to say whether or not this was true.

Taking my case as an example and looking only at the facts, the answer would be very correct, but in reality, I had no idea what it was like.

I made up my mind to walk around in moderation.

“The will of the higher-ranking people is more important than the will of the employee…!”

That seemed right.

If the slave and the owner met eyes, I thought that it would not be easy for the slave to approach first due to the difference in status.

After hearing the answer, Seria pondered over what I said.

“You’re saying that the will of the owner is more important than the servant… right?”

“yes yes!”

“Then there must be cases where you are forced to do so, right?”

Seria looked at me with a smile.

Is the acquaintance story correct? Ceria.

“That…isn’t it? It’s a pity…but I’m sure there will be.”

I have answered as soon as I can think of it.

And I wonder if there was some force from the owner.

Seria didn’t say anything for a while and tapped the table a few times with her index finger.

“People who met the wrong owner must be so pitiful. Then.”

Gradually, I felt like I was out of Julia’s story.

“It is also a blessing for that person to serve a good person.”

I wanted to quickly escape this conversation.

Oddly enough, I felt bad that the conversation fit my situation well.

“Have you finished your meal?”

It was an almost empty bowl of ceria.

“What about Sirius?”

On the other hand, I was so thirsty that I couldn’t eat much, but it was enough even if I didn’t eat.

“I have no appetite today.”

“Why don’t you eat slowly?”

“No. Let’s get up. Us.”

Seria looked regretful, but I got up from the chair first.

As we exited the restaurant, a darkened sky was waiting for us.

“Thank you, Sirius. It’s not a big deal, but you gave me advice.”

“Ah, what do you do with something like this. Warrior.”

And in fact, I didn’t think my answer would be of any help.

That is the answer of the disguised butler.

“I have one last question for you, Sirius.”

“yes.”

“If Julia says she’s going to be beaten by that man, then that man…”

“That man…?”

Seria blurted out her words.

“…Would you mind if I killed you?”

did i get it wrong? I don’t think that’s a bit harsh for a warrior.

“I don’t know how to kill it… I think it’s right to block it. hahahaha…”

Seria smiled at my answer.

It was the first time I saw her smile today.

Seeing Seria’s smiling face warmed my heart.

As far as her smiling face was, nothing had changed from before.

“As expected, I had a good time talking to Sirius.”

She took a few steps ahead of me and spoke.

I couldn’t tell what expression she was making.

“It’s only right for Julia to forget about that kind of guy and focus on me, right?”

A woman named Julia. Did you neglect Seria that much because of the man you said was your previous owner?

“If the warrior handles it well, I think it will definitely find its place.”

“Sit back…”

she looked up at the sky

“We have to bring it back to its place.”

It was her voice full of determination somewhere.

stay in place…

Although I can’t tell you Seria.

When all this journey is over.

I wish I could go back to my place.

It was me who longed for it.
