A Depressed Kendo Player Possesses a Reckless Aristocrat

10 – sorry

“…That’s why when facing monsters, it’s the most important thing not to freeze your body from the feeling of intimidation…”

“…If you’re surrounded by goblin swarms, calmly use ranged attacks…”

“…The highest rank monster, the Minotaur, tears rocks with bare hands…”

I yawned as I watched the lecture that followed.

I’m really tired.

It seems that it is wrong to follow the lessons of the academy.

What about the monsters and what the strategy is…

‘I wish I could just roll with my body like in my previous life…’

-match!

I quickly slapped my cheek with my hand.

What crazy thoughts are you thinking?

Even if you don’t understand and you’re tired, it’s better than being hit every day.

So, don’t be like a dog.

Because I never intend to go back to that time.

“Whoa…”

He lightly rubbed his tingling cheek and sighed lightly.

I raised my head slightly and looked at the blackboard again, and I noticed that the professor’s eyes were on me.

Not only the professor, but also the students around me were glancing at me.

I think the sound of the cheek slapping was too loud.

Somehow, it hurt terribly.

I smiled embarrassingly at the professor who was looking in my direction, gesturing that it was nothing.

Then the eyes of the people who were looking at me widened.

Oh right.

There was a petrifying effect on this bastard’s smile.

I quickly erased the smile from my lips.

Only then did the professor close his slightly open mouth and let out a hot cough.

“It’s big. Please refrain from acting unexpectedly during class, Raiden student.”

“Oh, yes. I’m sorry.”

“……!!!”

– Tak, tadak. Degur…

The professor dropped the magical ballpoint pen he was holding.

Then he looked at me with a shocked face.

The students around me all stopped moving and were looking at me with their mouths open.

“Did Raiden just apologize…? That crazy Prince…?”

“Maybe we heard wrong? It can’t be?”

“No, it sounded too distinct for that…”

“Damn it, this must be an illusion of the devil. Reveal the devil!”

“Is this a dream? I’m conscious, so this is a lucid dream?”

“Brother, did that bastard laugh earlier?”

“Leave it, let’s see if we’re dreaming.”

oh

please.

Let’s just do our class.

I’m sorry that I’m having a hard time.

I’ll listen to the class hard, so stop…

I prayed so deeply, but the aftermath of the apology did not subside easily.

“I pray to the absolute god Tinamius, give me the strength to overcome the devil’s vision…”

“Um… let’s see. A psychiatric diagnosis…”

“Yes! This is a lucid dream that I have only heard about! I will relieve the desire that has been building up in the dream for a long time!!”

“Quaaah!”

No, why are you taking off your pants? you crazy

I sighed in the classroom that had become such a mess.

‘I really want to commit suicide…’

Happiness and nabal, should I just jump down one more time?

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to adapt to the academy with this body.

By the time I was muttering to myself,

-bang!!

Suddenly, the door to the classroom opened with a loud bang.

The eyes of the students who were trembling in the fuss were focused on it.

I was among them.

The door that had been kicked to pieces was barely maintaining its shape with a tattered appearance.

what? Is it terrorism?

Thinking so, I opened my mouth wide when I saw the person who ran in through the open door.

what is that

Red half curly hair.

The school uniform is a bit messy, but it shows that it was ironed well.

Cute dog face.

I knew who she was.

A person who occupies a large part of Raiden’s memories.

Ariel Lisit.

She was Raiden’s sister.

I muttered in a blank voice.

“Ariel…?”

Why is my brother out there?

As I muttered, Ariel’s head jerked to face me.

Our eyes met.

My black eyes and hers crossed.

Before long, tears welled up in Ariel’s eyes.

she ran towards me

Then he threw himself on me and hugged me.

“brother…!”

“Kuhh…!”

I slightly frowned at the pain.

sh*t, Ariel hugged the sore muscles.

I groaned and looked at Ariel, who was burying her face in my chest.

She was weeping profusely.

“……”

what is it all of a sudden

Why are you suddenly breaking in and crying?

I need to tell you what

Meanwhile, my hand was patting Ariel’s back as she was crying.

No, Raiden, you should be out of it.

Why is this guy synchronized with me moving without asking permission from me?

“Huh… Heh… Oppa…”

“Hey… Ariel…?”

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I didn’t mean it. That’s…”

driving me crazy.

Totally out of my mind.

I raised my hand and felt my head throb.

“professor.”

At my call, the mind of the professor who had been standing there in a daze returned.

He slapped himself on the cheek a few times and said.

“Yes, Raiden student.”

“Is it okay if I go out for a while? My sister suddenly came to visit.”

The professor looked at Ariel in my arms and nodded.

“Get it quickly.”

“thank you.”

– Tak, tadak. Degur…

The professor dropped the chalkboard picker he was holding.

oh sh*t Déjà vu.

I won’t say thank you.

I don’t even know anymore

I shook my head and led the sniffling Ariel out of the classroom.

.

.

.

A bench located at the back of Hall 2 of Reynolds Academy.

Two men and women were sitting on it.

One is Raiden Lisitt, who is famous for the crazy Confucius in Akadame.

Another one is Ariel Lisitt, who is second in the academy freshman year and is considered one of the promising prospects of this generation.

Two siblings sat side by side on a bench.

“Hehe… uh…”

“Now, now. I have to stop. Pop”

Ariel is crying.

Raiden was skillfully soothing Ariel.

He wiped her tears with a tissue and patted her back.

“……sniffly.”

“Come, come on. Blow your nose. Heuh! Try it!”

“Huh…!!”

“Right.”

Raiden smiled softly and stroked her hair.

Ariel flinched at him.

However, he soon accepted the hand.

Seeing Ariel purring like a cat and receiving his touch, Raiden’s lips went up.

After some time passed and Ariel’s sniffles subsided, Raiden opened his mouth.

“Are you calming down now?”

“……yes…”

“I’m glad.”

silence again.

Ariel wiggled her fingers here and there as if impatient, then carefully opened her mouth.

“brother…”

“yes?”

what was it

I definitely had a lot of things I wanted to say.

It was Ariel whose hair went gray when she met Raiden.

She squeezed her rigid head and put the words together bit by bit.

“I’m sorry… what I said then. I didn’t mean it at all… I’ve never thought of it that way…”

Tears welled up in Ariel’s eyes once again.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I didn’t mean it… I’m sorry-“

Raiden’s index finger touched her mouth as she repeated her apology.

As if to stop talking.

Ariel wept over him.

oh, it’s already too late

What I said was something I couldn’t take back.

My brother… You don’t even want to hear my apology.

With that thought in mind, Ariel couldn’t hold back her tears.

Raiden’s voice rang in Ariel’s ears as she was crying.

“Ariel.”

soft voice.

His low-pitched voice was clear enough to be heard even in the ears of the crying Ariel.

“I’m fine. So stop crying.”

Ariel’s eyes widened at those words.

Are you okay…? Don’t cry…?

It was Ariel who assumed that scolding and contempt would return from him.

Because he was the one who took out Raiden’s hardships and wounds.

I thought it was cheap even after hearing such a sound.

Ariel cautiously raised her head and looked at him.

“……!”

And when his face met her eyes, she couldn’t help but be more surprised.

smile.

he was smiling

A smile I hadn’t shown even once since I changed.

The smile she had missed so much.

I was looking at her.

Raiden said while wiping Ariel’s tears.

“I’m rather sorry. Up until now I’ve been my own way… I’m sorry, Ariel.”

Ariel was dazed by the words in her ears.

Could this be a dream?

A pleasant dream that shows what I longed for.

Then, when you wake up, you will find a miserable dream in which you shed tears of futility.

However, the sun shining down from the sky.

The wind caressing her cheek.

The chirping of chirping birds.

And Raiden’s hand wiping away his tears.

For letting me know that this situation is not a dream.

She couldn’t stop her heart beating.

miracle.

A miracle happened.

Her brother’s smile had returned.

The brother she longed for had returned.

Ariel bursts into tears once again.

But those tears contained something different from the tears she had just shed.

Not fear, sadness, longing, self-loathing, etc.

only joy.

They were tears of joy.

Ariel reached out and hugged her brother again.

Raiden didn’t push her away.

He quietly raised his hand and patted him on the back.

Ariel calmly felt the touch and closed her eyes.

.

.

.

Ariel’s shaking movements stopped.

“……?”

I wondered what was going on, and I was asleep with my eyes closed.

No, this suddenly fell asleep?

While I was bewildered, a notification rang.

-Titling!

[Ariel Lisit: Currently in ‘magical sickness’]

Magic sickness?

The one that comes when you suddenly use a lot of mana?

why is that all of a sudden…

“……”

Did you even use magic to run here?

Ay no way

There’s a special wagon, but you can’t run without riding it…

what?

Come to think of it, didn’t the exclusive wagon operate during student lectures?

……

Could it really be…?

I looked at Ariel, who was quietly sleeping.

A sweaty forehead.

School uniform slightly disorganized.

breathing heavily.

“……”

It seems you were in a hurry.

I quietly wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead.

“Sweep… squeak…”

Ariel sleeps with shallow breathing.

“……”

This is how it feels to have a younger brother.

A feeling that warms the heart.

The first time she cried and apologized, I was a little embarrassed.

Because I was Naru Kim, not Raiden, I couldn’t answer carelessly.

However, I felt Raiden’s heart pass through me, and I hugged her.

Raiden’s feelings for Ariel were only love and sorry.

There was not the slightest resentment between them.

Because of that, I was able to forgive her.

“But… what about this…”

An hour has passed since I left the classroom.

Perhaps the class will be over soon.

“Hmm…”

I can’t leave Ariel like this…

Well, if you take her to the dormitory, Ariel’s exclusive maid will take care of it.

I carefully lifted the sleeping Ariel up and put it on my back.

“uuu… brother…”

As if she was dreaming about Raiden, she held onto the hem of my clothes while talking in her sleep.

I smiled at him and moved on.

.

.

.

“Ugh…!!”

I stretched out wide and left the dormitory.

Reynolds Academy was divided into female and male dormitories, so although the road was a bit lost, we were able to bring Ariel safely.

The current time is 4 o’clock.

Two hours had already passed since then.

I was listening to the ‘Understanding of Monsters’ lecture, but I ran out of it in the middle, and I was already late for the ‘History of the Continent’ lecture, which I should have taken at 3:00.

If you go back to the classroom now, it will be 4:30.

The lecture ends at 5 o’clock, so it’s hard to go now.

It’s just that cutting is a benefit.

“Hmm… then…”

I called the status window while stretching my still sore body.

“Status window.”

-Titling!

“Get the main quest up and running.”

-Titling!

A mechanical sound rang once more, and a blue window appeared in front of me.

[Main Quest]

Originally, I was going to go after the lecture, but now that the lecture has ended, I have to hurry up.

I headed for the mountain behind the academy while looking at the map on the status window.
