Avoid Former Co-Workers

143 – 143. Evidence (6)

“Ahahahahaha! Senpai, what is that!”

“I’m really working hard in my own way… You shouldn’t step on your dress or your feet…”

“Wouldn’t it be easier to step on moving that stiff?”

“Is that so? Kuhmm…”

“I think the senior’s arm supports me so that it’s easy to lean on. It’s as if the center of my body is between the two of us.”

Junon, who heard that, said, “Is it like this?” He groans.

Rhenias burst into laughter again, and those who watched it had to keep their mouths shut.

“Pooh…!”

What kind of movement is that?

My legs creaked like woodcarvings, and my arms stiffened as if I didn’t know what to do. There is no other line to stop the flabby upper body.

In battle, they hit and run so flexibly that now there are no stones left.

At that time, perhaps she had no talent for dancing, Senia speculates.

—Huh? Like this? Are you right?

─Puh ha, I’m sorry ho ho ho…! It’s so funny…!

—Kuhm. It seems like you keep teasing me for teaching me, but it must be because of my mood?

─That’s not true, but… Because senpai is so funny, isn’t it?

A man who saved countless lives, and a beautiful girl admired by all people.

I think they are a good pair.

“I think he’s the only one who can elicit such a reaction from Junon, right?”

When did you approach me? Senia finally noticed that there was someone approaching her unknowingly.

But she wasn’t too surprised. Because she was the kind of person who wouldn’t be shaken anymore even if she at least saw this sight.

“…I saw it around the time you were holding the lens. I understood why it was there.”

I don’t know if it’s someone else, but the person in question felt guilty towards Junon, so there was no need to say something just because he saw this.

She was Aris, who once prayed earnestly to her on her knees.

“Are you still anxious?”

“…Uh. A lot.”

I felt the same way.

She had never been so anxious when she remembered whether she had ever tried to use Junon in the past.

When she becomes dull with a sense of self-doubt, her body and mind have never been normal.

So, she needs to give Aris advice.

“Me too.”

“Huh?”

“That memory you talked about. It’s the same thing that my other self did.”

“…I see. Senia, you too…”

“That’s why, especially, you can’t stay still like this.”

Of course, spilled water won’t change.

But, nevertheless, this procedure must be carried out.

Like Senia herself, Aris is not something to be afraid of, she has to face it head on.

“Aris. Go and ask for forgiveness straight away. I… Think that’s the best way for you.”

I don’t know if I can be forgiven. But even if she is not forgiven, Aris needs to go in search of Junon on her own.

Before it’s too late.

“Ah~ It was fun!”

“…”

My juniors seem to be very sincere in making fun of me.

I can’t do well since I have a very long distance from such aristocratic manners and culture. He tried his best, but Rhenias laughed incessantly.

It’s not that the dance stopped until one song was over, but it can’t be helped that the energy is speeding up.

“But, senpai. It was quite a different experience, wasn’t it?”

“Uh… Yeah… It was a different experience that I don’t want to go through again… Being ridiculed like this by my juniors…”

“Ehehehehe. I laughed a lot. Thanks to you, it was fun. Thank you, senpai.”

It was fun.

Being ridiculed. I was always used to it, but I wasn’t used to it this way, perhaps because I only heard people laughing and saying things around the corner.

Still, while Rhenias’ laughter continued, I think I was able to relieve my complicated mind for a while.

‘I thought it would be really difficult this time, but it wasn’t.’

There is no disagreement about the fact that only one person knows the infection route of the Lemtert Plague and does not inform anyone, so it can be pointed out.

I definitely thought I was destined to be kicked out of the banquet hall after hearing all the swearing…

As I sat on the chair on the terrace and looked outside, I finally realized what I had done.

The dube pipe, which was rebuilt in good condition, gave the correct answer.

The route of the designated railroad was changed.

What I have done so far is to change the future.

Because of this, the things that change one by one must inevitably happen.

“Yap, what else are you thinking? Curious.”

…Sometimes unexpected things like this happen.

“Aww. What a tick. I just poked it with my finger.”

“What if you tease me like that and still play around with me? Don’t look at me anymore.”

“Huh. It’s because you keep looking outwardly.”

“I did it because I had something to think about. …But I just lost my concentration because of you, Rhenias.”

“In the first place, banquet partners shouldn’t be left alone, right? Ui-san, thinking like that makes it unfair that I was hit! I’m going to hit you on the forehead too!”

“Oh, yes? Give it a shot.”

“Uh…! Let go of this! How could you use the height difference to dodge like this!”

“hahahaha. I didn’t say yes.”

Soon after, Rhenias gave up, unable to overcome the height difference as his cheeks became full. She somehow seems to be sulking with her arms crossed and her head jerking around.

“Oh, are you mad?”

“Chi. I don’t know. Don’t talk to me.”

“Kuh kuh. You’re pissed off, well.”

She sighs once more, sticking out her lips and puffing out her cheeks even louder.

A very honest and innocent child. This kind of look actually suits Rhenias the best. To the extent that I’m sorry to make fun of you.

I stroked Rhenias’ head and took out what was only in his head into his mouth.

“I feel like I’ve changed a lot.”

“Yes?”

“He said he was curious. This is what I was thinking about earlier.”

Then Rhenias opened her eyes wide in surprise as if she didn’t know how to say it quietly.

“You mean the academy has changed?”

“There is that. There must be many things.”

“…”

Renias was lost in thought for a moment as he turned his gaze to the Duvet Pavilion I was looking at at the time.

I don’t think you’ll notice something like that, but he also became quite serious and said something strange.

“It’s painful to be always the same.”

“Hmm?”

“Ahahahaha… I must have said something strange again out of the blue. Please forget about this?”

It certainly didn’t sound like he was joking… But what is it?

Ah, is it really important? It seems that Rhenias also has personal circumstances.

“Ah! Just like that, don’t remove the hand that was stroking my head!”

“Oh, okay…”

Anyway, a lot has changed.

However, many things will have to change in the future. For me to survive in this country.

***

The banquet, which was held according to Professor Meuniher’s will, successfully led to the satisfaction of the students.

Moreover, while thoroughly breaking the customs of banquets, he even proved himself to be the best chancellor of the empire in name and reality by seizing the actual authority of the church.

That means, conversely, that the nobles suffered a great loss.

“That snarky human…!”

As soon as Marquis Flocan got off the wagon, he threw out his staff while spewing out branches.

It was because of the voice I heard when I was summoned to Archduke Ardelion a while ago.

-‘You guys, since the evidence that the alliance of nobles has been persecuting the Sirens is so clear, how could I not tell His Majesty the Emperor?’

Ardelion Archduchess reported this to the emperor of the Artena Empire.

Then the emperor himself delivered his opinion.

-‘His Majesty the Emperor told me to tell you only this. Peridot, jade, fluden, sapphire. Finally, Blue Horbis. I’m sure you understand what these names mean. Blue family, Flokan.’

All the words mentioned are family names. It was also a family that occupied one of the seven colors that once boasted tremendous power in the empire.

At the same time, they are also families that fell into disrepair as their line was severed while trying to do something against the will of the emperor or avoiding his eyes.

In other words, the emperor is warning the Marquis Flocan like this.

Like them, Flocan, the current blue family, can be completely erased from the map of the Kempreton continent.

I can’t help but say that my teeth tremble.

‘How could the Grand Duke, the king of a country, be so ignorant! Why don’t you think of getting out of the hands of the empire and becoming an independent principality!’

As of today, the Noble Alliance has come under the principality’s eyes.

It is not easy to reach out to the academy now, and the profit structure that has been taking metally and metally by making enemies called sirens has been greatly damaged.

Prohibition of distribution of drugs. Abolition of the black market. Gambling closure. Position problem.

The money cycle, the best way to hold and shake the Principality of Ardelion, is shaking, and the nobles are driven to the precipice.

Now, Marquis Flokhan also had no intention of choosing any means or methods.

“Welcome, Marquis Flocan.”

“Are you ready, Count Nubbel?”

“Yes. I have already spoken to the temple.”

They too are ambitious for the pie called the principality in order to avoid the pressure and prying eyes of the empire. I have no intention of being alone.

If you’re driven to the precipice anyway, you have no choice but to bring your opponent down with a judge.

‘Even if people die in the process. It’s all your fault. Grand Duke.’

Taster is this student.

“You still haven’t changed your mind?”

“Of course…!!”

A mediocre commoner who couldn’t accept the reason for his expulsion, burning with blood in his eyes and burning with a vengeful spirit.

But for now, the most welcome person in the temple is the academy student.

Originally, they wouldn’t even give a glance and just kicked them for blocking the road, but these vengeful things can be used no matter how they are used if you give them a little something.

“I understand your regret. Everyone, this principality is wrong, so this happened. I have a recommendation for you.”

“I’ll do anything!! As long as I can get my revenge on that bastard!!”

“I’ll call my people, so head to the temple with your friends. I’ll help you there.”

On the outside, he seems very benevolent, but the Marquis’s heart is only contempt and ridicule.

For Damian, the only thought was to become a disposable consumable.

.

.

.

And at the same time.

Dahlia went to Meuniher’s office carrying something handed over from the temple.

It can be said that it was delivered quite late because I thought that now I would have time to listen to this story from my husband, Meuniher, who was always chased by work.

Dahlia asks one more time just in case.

“Are you done with your busy work?”

“Hmm. Jake will be in charge of the banquet hall now, so I’ll just have to take care of the overtime. More than that, why are you here? You must be tired, but you’re closing your eyes first.”

“After… Yes.”

“Dahlia?”

I never thought that Dahlia, who had suddenly come to her office, could breathe a sigh of relief. Did something happen?

Looking closely, Dahlia’s hand was holding something.

Due to Lemtert’s research on plague and the development of the Hyplicia Ampoule, it seemed that her wife would hand it over to herself and that nothing like it would remain… Is there one left?

“If it’s something I need to see, leave it and go to rest first. You’ll be tired if you don’t.”

I have one more job, but it is instead of my wife who must have suffered the most. However, Dahlia’s words harden Meuniher’s face.

“The temple side… Said there was a Calix summon.”

“…Summon Calix?”

“It hasn’t been announced to the entire duchy. The only ones who know this… Are Denis and I.”

Muniher also knows what kind of ripple effect the existence of Calix has.

The creatures that were summoned from the other world and fell to the Kempreton continent. They were once men’s swords, but they also know that they were double-edged swords.

“What type is it?”

“…A human. He’s definitely a human.”

“Oops…”

It was a serious matter. In the case of humans, because they have intelligence, Calix himself can commit a crime.

In fact, there are people who self-destructed after pulling out a pin from a small sphere, and there are people who ran rampant as serial killers or madmen.

But there were more problems than this.

“And… This is a copy of the oracle that fell from the temple side.”

As soon as Dahlia opened the scroll and showed it to Meuniher, her jaw dropped.

“My God, this is…!”

The one who lost everything.

It was proof that someone with the 7th type of magical power had appeared.
