chapter 5
5 – Faculty of Engineering Like
“Is that you?”
On the way back from lecture. A female student suddenly grabbed my hand.
At first, I thought, ‘Eh, this is a start again. It’s my darling!’ I thought.
A classmate or senior who wants to send a love letter to his older brother. I’ve seen a lot of women like that.
Couldn’t you court me in public? Should I lend my hand?
While I was grumbling inside, my body was responding faithfully.
“If you have anything to give me, give it to me quickly. Delivery is possible, but I’m not sure if I’ll get a reply….”
“What are you talking about?”
Coolly chewing on my answer, she took my hand and headed for a bench in the corner of her garden.
Then the first thing he said was, ‘Is that you?’, A short but bold message.
“What are you talking about… uh….”
A face I saw somewhere. Above all, my possessor’s sensor is thrilling! And is ringing
A person who should not be overlooked. An opponent that must be remembered.
As a result of hard thinking, she soon came to a conclusion.
‘Oh, crazy. No way?’
You already noticed? Can’t you do this? Could it be that there was a frakchi inside?
Yes. Lester This bastard must have a mouthful. I can’t do this otherwise!
I hurriedly straightened my stance, determined to break his neck without fail.
“Ariete Klotchen.”
Klotzen. One of the only three dukes in the empire, the family of the successor.
I heard that a girl there entered the same grade as me this time.
In addition, the fact that he went to the Faculty of Engineering, not anywhere else.
“Don’t call me hard. Because I don’t want to come all the way here and claim my family name. I just want you to call me comfortably, Lihi. Can you do that?”
I heard that she has a very cool side unlike a lady of a duke family.
Of course, I thought it was candy coated by the duke’s suckers, but it seems it’s not.
I can clearly feel the will to be treated as a student rather than a duke’s daughter.
“So, the answer?”
She smiles and tilts her head slightly.
“What answer.”
“This happened a few days ago. The guys from the Officers Faculty stole the sword from our Knight Faculty.”
For a moment she said, ‘No,’ she tried to pull it off, but she immediately dismissed the idea.
That’s not a prediction. What stood in her eyes now was 100% ‘certainty’.
I wouldn’t believe it if I said no here. I can tell you.
“… How did you know?”
Let’s give up early and confess right away. Ariete is ahahahaha! She does and she bursts out laughing.
I don’t think she meant to smile prettily, but she’s pretty. Um, are you crazy at last?
“Surprised? I thought I’d catch you at least once!”
“If you grab it from here, you’re going to bite and hang on, saying, ‘Please explain why not?'”
“Wow! Answer! Were you reading that far?”
After that, Ariete continued her speech while giggling.
Actually, the contents were things that could never be said with a smile.
“Thanks to you, I suffered quite a bit. My sword just disappeared, so the seniors rolled a lot. I swore I would never do that, but it was really rough to the point where I wanted to put the Duke’s family on the line for a moment. Kissing the ground wasn’t as bad as I thought. Eh, although the taste of the soil was not good.”
“….”
Obviously I was right when I said to steal regardless of whether it is a baron or a clochen.
However, I want to applaud the guys from the officer faculties who really put it into practice.
I just meant not to cover it, but did you really steal Klochen’s sword?
“So how did you know? Um, what should I say? Just a feeling? Expectation? To be honest, it’s kind of like that. As far as I know, I heard that there is no such outspoken and enterprising person in the 1st year officer department.”
“Do you think the officer faculties will squeal if they hear that story?”
“But is it true? It’s never easy, but it’s not easy, but it’s a bold decision, and it’s the execution power that follows. No one has that kind of charisma. At least within the first year of the Officers Faculty.”
After saying
, Ariete looked at me with a strange smile. Why. What.
“But if you expand the department, it’s not that there aren’t such people.”
“That was me?”
Nodding nod―
I nodded my head without a second’s hesitation, and I was a little taken aback.
It’s not like this girl and I have known each other since childhood, or anything like that.
Unfortunately, I’ve never done anything so predictable.
The unconditional conclusion is me, how could such a confident conviction come about?
“He’s from Reinhardt.”
“Ah.”
“The glorious place where I fought alongside my father, bringing the empire out of danger. I thought that Reinhardt’s person could have easily drawn the overall picture of this incident.”
In the end, it went round and round and it turned out to be Reinhardt. The damn war hero!
If anyone sees it, they’ll think I played an active part in the battlefield as well.
Actually, he’s a kid who’s never wielded a sword, let alone war!
Yeah! Baby Lihi doesn’t want to be a war hero!
“You don’t look very happy.”
Of course not. Who would be nice Every day, he is evaluated as ‘Reinhardt’ instead of ‘Leehi’.
Those who want to succeed on the back of their family’s backbone must be smiling if they’re very happy.
But not me. I just want to live quietly but happily.
For me, being the second son of a family of war heroes was too heavy.
I want to avoid excessive expectations, burdensome gazes, whatever it may be.
Honestly, huh? It’s not like it’s hard or anything.
That common status window! What can I do that I can’t even do
Isn’t it right to live quietly in a bar that is supposed to be a guest house after calling out for no reason?
In case you don’t know, should I shout it out again? Status window! Status window!!
But nothing happened! And! You have to live quietly!
“Because it’s burdensome.”
“It’s burdensome?”
“I know a lot about myself. That I can’t be like my grandfather, father, or older brother. Wouldn’t the name Reinhardt be more of a burden than something I’m proud of?”
“Ummm….”
Ariete, pondering something about her, immediately nods her head saying, ‘That’s right.’
“You don’t have to force yourself to understand. This….”
“No. I understand. Really. In fact, I am like that.”
Similar? I looked straight at Ariete.
“I wanted to be a knight. It wasn’t that I was influenced by my family, nor was I impressed by my father. Just a really pure, not-so-strong, not-so-excellent knight.”
“You are a model of a knight.”
“So it was difficult. He always looked forward to it next to me. Not only vassals, but also older brothers and sisters, and even mothers and fathers. I really want to do it, but everyone misunderstands that I am doing it because I want to follow suit?”
That’s true… It sounds terrible. I think I was suffocating from the pressure.
I want to run away right away, shuddering at the vague anticipation of the name Reinhardt and his family, even though war is not in any field that comes to mind right now.
She is the daughter of a duke who dreams of becoming a knight with a near-perfect knight called Jeonseunggong.
“So?”
“Nervous? Of course not used Burden? Of course have how can i be free But, I’m still going to work hard. I try to focus on myself without looking at my surroundings. So I asked my classmates and seniors. I want you to erase all of them from your mind, including Klochen, the Duchy of Kainel, and the Legend of Victory.”
How are you? Wouldn’t this be a pretty wise decision? What do you think? Called.
Ariete puts her hands on her hips and raises the corners of her mouth.
“… Um, if this incident has troubled you….”
“Huh? No? Rather, it was fun. It was also new. I also learned that no matter how much you talk about honor, it is of no use if you lose the war! I think I know why the Department of Engineering is old-fashioned!”
“Don’t say things like that even though you’re also an engineering major. Confused.”
“Is that so? Ahahahaha!”
The image of Ariete looking at me and smiling brightly is strongly embedded in my mind.
It’s probably because of the blue eyes that glisten in the sunlight and that blonde hair that gleams.
Above all, unlike me, that image of me not shrinking from the pouring expectations and burdens was really cool.
“Mmm. Still, if you go over like this… Okay. In exchange for keeping it a secret, I’ll ask you a favor. This time, please help our driver’s department as well.”
Help me? Then, can we steal the sword from the officer faculty this time?
But they aren’t complete idiots either.
I heard everything whispering that the Faculty of Engineering could even steal their underwear.
There is nothing more idiotic than what they do.
The guys who couldn’t have known that must have been fully prepared, so what should I do?
“What is that, those eyes? Are you sure you’re asking me to tell you how to steal the sword?”
“… No?”
“Of course not! Where are the idiots who fall straight for the same strategy!”
That’s right. These are Königssen guys, it seems their intelligence has deteriorated lately.
As if the brain cells were all dead after being beaten by the grandfather and smashed by the father.
“There is an event at the Engineering Department this time. We need music to be used there, and it is a tradition to make the music we write when we are freshmen and use it until we graduate.”
It’s a tradition I’ve never heard of. To think they had to make their own grade songs.
Anyway, the Engineering Department is so filthy and boring.
“But no matter how hard we try, nothing good comes out?”
“… Are you asking me to do that now?”
“Yes.”
You nodded your head so confidently that it’s almost scary.
Why me? There is a department of music. Why did you leave me in the Department of Public Administration… ?
“Didn’t you say you like music?”
“Why do I like music… oh well I like it. I like it.”
What kind of music is this all of a sudden? When I entered the academy, I said I was interested in music.
Why? I try to make it as hopeless as possible. I don’t want to hear the sound of future war heroes!
If you say you like music, wouldn’t you think ‘Oh, he doesn’t have any thoughts about the military’? It was a struggle to live on its own.
But it rolls like a snowball like this. What the.
“I understood it, but… No matter how good the music is, it can’t suddenly pop out of nowhere.”
“A. Do you think you can do it? What kind of cat operation? He said it was planned in less than a day. Can’t you do that?”
Damn it. Who the hell is going to go into such detail?
If I find it, I will surely turn my stomach. Be thankful that there is no cold cucumber soup and mint chocolate in this world.
If I had that, I would have eaten it all week. Traitors!
“Still, I think this will be a bit difficult….”
A brilliant idea flashes through my mind.
Graduate song for the Faculty of Engineering. A knight, a knight… Come to think of it, there is an article I know of.
The knights there use something else instead of mana, called force, maybe?
And there is one march that really kills.
It’s the main theme of the Empire of Evil, but… What do you think?
