There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

88. return

“This is the breakfast menu you ordered.”

We sat again at the restaurant Luna and I went to yesterday.

Everything was the same as last night’s dinner, only one thing was different.

as soon as.

“Ah, try it, Yuwol-ah!”

The point was that Seria was right next to me.

“Zugi. Warrior.”

No matter how tightly she clenched her teeth, Luna’s pronunciation was muffled and I couldn’t hear it properly.

“Yuwol-ah. Sell me.”

Seria’s pronunciation was odd in a different way.

Seria was trying to lift a fork and put a piece of meat into my mouth.

Normally, I would have noticed Luna and turned my head away, but not today.

I made up my mind.

A body that will be kidnapped to the demon world anyway. Let’s do everything we want to do in the human world and go.

“Aang”

I ate Soxeria’s food without hesitation.

“Hey! Sirius!”

It seemed that Luna had not yet adapted to my arrogant attitude.

“Did you call me, miss?”

“No. Seeing as you call her a lady, you seem to be sane, but what the hell is the reason for doing this!”

…I heard you forgive me.

As expected, I didn’t know that I would go out like this.

“If only my dad knew about this…!”

“Who is it? The Count?”

My pun made Luna feel like the top of her head was turned off.

But how long have I been in the position of A?

Even her reaction made me very happy.

Unable to reveal the identity of the demon king here, she held her fork tightly and took pictures of the poor table.

“You. Go back to the academy and see. It’s real. I warned you.”

oh. Certainly, that expression might be a bit dangerous.

“I just touch Yoo-wol, Luna.”

Seria also sarcastically helped by the side.

“No matter how much he is Yu-Wol’s benefactor, I will never forgive him for treating him harshly.”

Luna raised her hand and thumped her forehead.

“…I’m crazy. I made a promise like that.”

“…promise?”

Seria looked at me as if she didn’t understand what was going on.

“There is such a thing.”

A lifelong contract to be kidnapped and lived in the demon realm.

“Yuwol-ah. Do you have something else to hide from me?”

Seria looked uneasy.

huh. a lot to hide

Because the truth you know is only half.

“Later. I’ll tell you later.”

Luna seemed to have pondered the contents of the promise in her mind, but unlike before, she was wearing a relaxed smile of a winner.

“Yes, warrior. Spend time with Sirius to your heart’s content.”

Seria frowned.

She must have noticed too.

Because Luna always had a reason for making that expression.

“…can’t you tell me now?”

Seria asked me while chewing the vegetables in her mouth.

“…Not yet.”

“Then when can I tell you?”

Um… whenever. I wonder if there will be a next one after at least this stage of proof is over.

“After graduating from the academy.”

“What? Two years left?”

Seria inflated her cheeks.

After confirming that I was Yoo-wol, she was the one who showed off her aegyo to the fullest.

“too long!”

But still, it seemed impossible.

If I [me. I’m being taken as a son-in-law by the devil’s daughter.] If I confessed here.

This small village would have disappeared without a trace.

Suddenly, the face of the village chief, who had been so kind to us, passed by.

Even for him, it was right to keep quiet about this promise.

“Sorry. Seria. But when the time comes, I will definitely tell you.”

“Really?”

Then don’t be real.

probably by the time you say it.

I should say goodbye to you

Luna hummed as she continued to eat, probably intoxicated by the fact that she had already won.

It was clear that he was treating Seria, who probably knew nothing, as a loser.

However, it was me who knew that it was thanks to Luna that the peace was maintained like this now.

Rather, from now on, I might be the one who has to pray forever that the academy will never end.

It wasn’t long before the three of us could sit down and eat.

…Why are there so many papers?

We rented a wagon for about two full days and drove to the academy before we arrived.

I thought it would be noisy at the academy, but it was rather quiet.

The reason for this became apparent shortly after.

“Hey. These guys.”

Who can put the three of us side by side and hit each other in the head?

Warrior. daughter of the devil. And I am loved by those two.

For the three of us, I wondered if just being able to have a good night’s sleep would be a snack for life, but Luke was my opponent. He was our homeroom teacher.

“Do you even know how many students are roaming the entire human world to find you?”

Luke looked at us with a genuine annoyance.

“sorry.”

Seria and I lowered our heads.

Luna did not bow her head because she was in fact the position that captured and brought us.

“Haa… First of all, I have to leave a record without a doubt about what happened, so sit here.”

He brought a pile of papers and held them out in front of us.

“You can’t go back until this is all used up.”

Luna sneaked behind her and grabbed the doorknob.

“…Luna. Where are you going?”

“Yes…? Do I use it too?”

It seemed like he didn’t want to write.

“I’m not done talking to you yet.”

Luna came back to the desk as if she had given up running away.

The homeroom teacher stroked his chin with his hand and started talking to us.

“Guys. Before we record these stories, I think we’d better have a very honest conversation.”

…the saliva went down his throat with a roaring sound.

I had to give a good answer.

The opponent is no one else, Luke. He was an unknown man.

“First of all, Seria. You must have been attacked by demons, right?”

Seria nodded.

“you’re right.”

“Okay. That’s what I figured out. But there’s one thing that’s very suspicious.”

My heart started beating fast.

“I don’t know if you know or not, but demons can’t set foot in this academy.”

“…why?”

Seria asked.

“…Because I designed it that way.”

Luke looked at us with sunken eyes.

“It is impossible for any demon tribe to invade from the outside. And even if the invasion succeeds, there is no way I will not notice.”

The homeroom teacher’s index finger tapped the desk at a steady rate.

“By the way. A very strange thing happened.”

“Someone. Infiltrated this academy avoiding my eyes. No. It’s not like they infiltrated. It just suddenly appeared in the academy.”

…equanimity. It was a time when composure was needed.

It was important not to sound agitated.

“It’s clear that it’s probably a powerful demon tribe. Or it has a certain device.”

“…Yes. That’s right. That demon was incredibly strong…”

Seria also felt the need to answer carefully, so I sympathized with his words so that I would not be suspicious.

“…if that’s true. Novice hero.”

Luke’s continued words aimed precisely at our gaps.

“You should have died. Seria.”

“…What is that!”

“I’ll tell you calmly. Seria. If that demon was really a great demon to the extent of ridiculing my barrier and appearing in front of you. You should have been dead.”

That was an accurate point.

I tried to roll my head with all my might.

What excuse should I make up so that I can escape the homeroom teacher’s desire to become heavenly?

“…I made a gap.”

I, who was holding my breath, opened my mouth.

“…Sirius? You?”

The homeroom teacher raised only one eyebrow.

“When I found Ceria, she was already seriously injured.”

It was true so far.

Of course, it wasn’t the terrifying Demon Tribe’s hand that pierced her body, but the doll she wanted to destroy even thinking about it now.

“Of course you do. So?”

It was a sight that even the homeroom teacher believed in.

“It seems like the demons are dragging the seriously injured Seria and preparing for movement magic, so I used up all my mana and created a gap.”

ruler. The number of gamblers was from now on.

“The demons, who thought the situation was over, were taken aback by my attack, and I injected mana into the magic circle drawn on the floor, and I took Seria and escaped.”

“Hmm.”

The homeroom teacher looked at me with suspicious eyes.

“Hero, is it true what Sirius is saying?”

“…Sirius is a man of courage who risked his life for me. Please do not insult him.”

good. Ceria.

Her covering fire was very reassuring.

“…That’s right. There’s no reason for the hero to protect the demons.”

For a moment, Seria’s body trembled.

hey no. stop.

“Are you saying that I, who will assume the role of protector of men, is lying?”

“Wah~ Whoa. It’s not like that, so don’t misunderstand.”

Luke raised both hands and shook them.

“There are still a few unanswered questions, but it’s probably your first time encountering a demon like that. It’s only natural that you don’t know.”

…Amelia-sama is the strongest demon?

The period I spent with Master was three years.

There was no demon stronger than her.

“Haa… I get it. I’m going to report to the upper level, but I hope you all write this document and leave.”

Luna tried to escape once again, but was caught by the scruff of the neck.

“You should also write a statement about where you caught them.”

“…yes.”

Sitting in a row in front of the desk like that, we had to fill out the police report and go by the time the sun went down.

“Ah~ I’m going to die.”

The three of us walked back to the dormitory, keeping pace while watching the sun set.

Seria and Luna. Everyone was tired of paperwork, so they just walked without saying a word.

Still, wouldn’t it be a little close if we didn’t argue and quietly go home together?

I was the one who thought so.
