Chapter 69: Returning to the academy
Chapter 69: Returning to the academy
I told the purport of the revolt plan to Osnyl-san in the middle of the night, so I can left the fortress at the next morning. I didn't come near the royal capital and returned to the academy straight. I have to prepare for class.
"Tsuchio-kun, we succeeded in recapturing the north! We got it back!”
I arrived at the safe academy and I talked with all the stories I experience with Lucas who I have meet again and this were Lucas first words. Well, it is a major historical event. I can't say, that I didn't get involved in it....
"Yes, I know. I was at the fortress” Tsuchio
“Thats amazing! The heroes and the knight order, they invaded quickly with full force! Amazzing” Lucas
"However, how do they distribute the territory they got back? It probably will be divided equally between the 4 countries, but the kingdom won't admit it.... Although it is good that we have repelled the demons, there will be neither an origin nor a child in the retrieved territory" Tsuchio
"Already, it would be better for now if you don't consider such a thing! The whole academy and city are excited about the victory now!" Lucas
I can't be glad obediently because I know the circumstances.... Possibly, the revolt might failed. From that still, there is no communication with Yukurishisu-san. Because the rebellion occurred, when the army just pulled back and they didn't return, it is no case that it is decided.
"Now I remember, the demons who were captured were taken all away...but why?”
If saying so, I was told that the demons who couldn't escape become captives.... In that case someone would come to exchange for the captives. They don't seem able to be relieved until the captive exchange comes from whether contact comes from Yukurishisu-san.
“Which reminds me, lunch is soon.... Lucas, please tell me about your vacations while having lunch” Tsuchio
“Okay, then I also want to hear Tsuchio story! Because Triss and Fal also returned, let's eat together!” Lucas
Is Yukurishisu-san safe...? She surely is a fighter stronger than Ruu. It is correct to say she has a quantity of magic power. Although I searched for the total volume when I touched her body for a moment...honestly, the bottom wasn't visible. As expected from a genealogy of the king and she probably inherent something, but I'd keep making an effort more than that.... Uh, she certainly is safe. Becoming the next emperor, she just might be busy.
After leaving the fortress, Shadow-san′s appearance was just a little strange. When having free time, she didn't overwhelm the monsters who were beaten now and then. What happened? Perhaps the harbinger of evolution? Thinking so...my expectation seems to have come true splendidly.
At the night of our return to the academy I enjoyed myself with Ruu, before I returned to my room and fell into my bed. I sleep separately with Ruu, because another match in the morning isn't so good.... The day didn't even start yet, but I'm already tired. That's the reason why I have returned to my own room in order to lie idle until noon tomorrow.
I who was looking up at the ceiling took a nap from the tiredness of the sex with Ruu, but when I extend my hand to the ceiling without meaning anything, something soft was grabbed by my palm.
“...Shadow-san, what's with you? At such midnight"
When it's seen carefully, Shadow-san is on all fours so that she may cover me. My eyes have finally been accustomed to the darkness...what, since when is Shadow-san so big?
“Eh, did you evolve? Ah, did you finish absorbing the Treants′s life force amassed in your abdomen? Hee...your body has grown, too and it is possible for you to have hair. However, you are still flat.... Regrettably"
Shadow-san who evolved has increased in stature and goes till my neck. From her head, thin black threads droop down as if it is hair. It's messy, shall I comb it in the morning?
“Uuh...your magic amount increased considerably, but it doesn't change so much after all. Have you already been squeezed to such evolution? Well, as my familiar it is necessary and good exactly. Even though the feeling of your body also changed"
Shadow's chest and stomach are touched. The front was hard and you can't touch so much, however she evolved and became a little stronger. It isn't too soft or too hard and she resembles the old Lime closely. It isn't a reason at all similarly...Lime is jelly like and Shadow-san is water-like. Feeling like a rubber ball and a water ball.
"Shadow-san is close to a human being, so can you change to a person soon? Though neither Rin or Lime became humans yet...well, you originally are a human-type.Whether it is naturally quick...huwa, sleepy.... Let's talk detailed about it tomorrow morning..."
Because I talked with Shadow-san a little, I'm seized with intense sleepiness. I fell into the dream world, while I leave Shadow-san just as it is.
Next morning, I awake after I feel cold through my pajamas. When I open my eyelids, Shadow's head is a little below me. She seem asleep and has embraced me, while even our feet are tied and her whole body is cold.
“Shadow-san please separate, I want to change clothes...if you don't dislike, then I will comb your hair, after I change my clothes”
Shouldering Shadow-san, I somehow finish changing clothes. Now, shall I comb her? It's better to have bought a comb in order to comb Ruu′s hair...I feel it's troublesome and I don't make them do so much.... Her beautiful hair is hard and I think it's wasteful when it isn't treated neatly. Well, I'm still surprised because it doesn't hurt at all.
"This hair, was it a part of Shadow's body that transformed? Touching it, it is different at all from a usual hair...is it ordinary hair? Such one is good for the time being"
Shadow′s hair which was messy and spread over the side away was changed completely to a beautiful semi-long hair which flows to the back through the comb. No, I have done a good job! I didn't think that it changed to that, while I just combed lightly. It is not easy to touch someone's hair, so let me touch it a little. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
After I tested the hairstyles I know on Shadow-san and I was satisfied, I decided to go to the principal to hand her the baggage I got from Regitto-san. For the time being, Shadow-san′s hairstyle is twintails because it was the best. It is cute and lovely. I thought twintails was realistic and irrelevant, but this is okay or not. Whether I say so, but Shadow-san can wear every kind of hairstyle.
I knock on the door of the principal room. From the inside comes a “Okay” and I opened the door and entered inside....Come to think of it, I also was nervous when I entered the principal′s office one year ago.
“Something wrong, Tsuchio. Do you need something?” Principal
“It’s not that, it’s a gift from the north” Tsuchio
The principal is opposite to her desk today, too and she is fighting with some documents. I take the gift out from Shadow-san and leave it on top of a shelf.
"Liquor and cane ornaments, I kept them for Regitto-san and the others” Tsuchio
“Good grief...enticing me with these kind of things, they have some courage. I will send something back later” Principal
“Do they try to lure you away to your home country? Principal is popular” Tsuchio
“"This is a nuisance.... Tsuchio, did you hear the story of recapturing the north?” Principal
“I heard it, isn't there no other topic right now?” Tsuchio
““I heard, that Osnyl has moved the knight order with considerable force. Although it's a relief that they succeeded, but do you know why they attacked so suddenly.... I don't know from where, but they had a detailed map” Principal
“Who knows, there is no reason that I know such a thing. Isn't it good that they recaptured it. Now that I remember, what will be with the heroes who were summoned to repel the demons in the future? Hasn't their business been completed? Tsuchio
“Thats right...well, they probably will return to their former world? There is no other way facing the kingdom with their power” Principal
I see, they can return.... That was good, even if they return, can they really live a life as before? Variously it looks like brainwash has been done.
“Then of course, won't they manipulate their mind and alter their memories”
“Though it isn't really good..."
“I think it’s better for the heroes and the kingdom than to give it back like that. But well, it’s best to not summon anything at all”
“Yes. What has been summoned is already helpless, I want them to return to their former world at least as they were before.
“Then when our talk is finished, please excuse me. Okay”
“I will handle it carefully”
Well, I have finished it for now. What shall I do after this...let's go to Loreen-san and show her the new talisman and get her impression. She might be noticing something which I haven't noticed. After that, let's take some time with Ruu and the others.
Loreen-san came to the school to teach the talisman art subject, but in fact it is a sudden story. For this magic class, the teacher room became a laboratory and it became a problem because where is the teacher's room now. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚
As for Loreen′s teacher room, it was a warehouse. Tentatively, her luggage didn′t enter completely although she moved to another warehouse, by any means it need to fit in. Only the necessaries things like a desk and shelf is in it and only a part of her luggage is stuffed into the remaining space that was empty. And like that is Loreen′s teacher room.
Lying down on the desk in her teacher room and drowsing, while dripping saliva is Loreen-san whose popularity is skyrocketing by the students. She uses her arm as pillow and with a sloppy smile did she fell asleep. Under her were many papers with geometric pattern, so it seems she researched them the whole night. Next Loreen-san starts to sleep talk and murmurs "I can't eat more", so it seems like normal words. However, it is difficult to meet Loreen-san who isn't a ordinary woman!
“Uhehee, I have done it...if I combine a diamond, with a lattice and a chain..”
Apparently, she even research inside her dream and even if she is awake or asleep her head is full with talisman art. A model researcher. She is tired, so when I started to made a back of her teacher room, Loreen-san has gotten up at that time. Oops, did I wake her up?
“What...Tsuchio has returned?” Loreen
“Yes, since a few days ago. Loreen-san, slaver is dripping down. Your clothes are also disordered” Tsuchio
“Really. I wash my face for a moment..." Loreen
Loreen′s legs are sluggish and her movement is slow, when she comes out of her teacher room. This woman, did she eat neatly...shall I buy her something? If I run, I might be quicker than Loreen-san.
Loreen eats the bread I brought. Her eyes also seem to have finally awake now.
“Sorry for troubling you so much” Loreen
“No, I expected something when you slept on the desk. It is standard" Tsuchio
“What.... What did you come for?” Loreen
“I made new talismans and I want Loreen-san to see them somewhere. Well, most of my talismans were remodeled..." Tsuchio
“Uuhh...Tsuchio′s talismans are different from mine. Although I′m happy you are showing them to me, I can't give a great advice” Loreen
“It's okay, I only want someone to see it. I hope that there are some discoveries” Tsuchio
“If so, then I do it with pleasure. Where do you want to show it?” Loreen
“Shall we make it near the monster stable, because it is like a plaza” Tsuchio
“Fine, let's go” Loreen
Loreen goes out to the field with me and I show her the various fire bees and the hornets. And because I can't grasp the heavy talismans yet, I decided to not show it her this time.
“You specialize your abilities. And your ability has risen entirely” Loreen
“It's similar to the rock snakes I have shown you before” Tsuchio
“Ah, is that so? Then isn't it like a self destruction?” Loreen
“It is so, but still this talisman is too good. The main ammunition is the magic blast! As long as magic continues, they are made to blast very much!” Tsuchio
"Sting with the needle and explode..." Loreen
"With it, magic can be shot" Tsuchio
When the hornets spray their magic from their needles on the ground, it blazes up. Well, if they sting, they can make damage securely.
“How dare you, to shoot these kind of things.... What is the magic consumption?” Loreen
“Although it is a lot, it is still light compared to the rock snakes. But well, there will be an opponent where they won't work and I will use the rock snakes” Tsuchio
“I′m won’t be defeated you know... I’ve come up with a good one, so I will do it right away !”
"Eh, teacher′s impression!" Tsuchio
“"I think that it is possible a good work! To stretch the point, You should already raise the speed of the heavy fire bees for a moment! Then it is too slow and the attack doesn't hit, that my opinion!” Loreen
Saying so, Loreen-san goes back to the school building and I see her running back. Humu, even I think it is good...certainly, it will be no big deal as long as I dont shot. Let's increase the speed too for a moment.
"Oh my, let's do it at night. Let us take Ruu and the others and relax under a tree. Recently I worked for a long time, so it is necessary for everyone to take a rest for a while”
Nevertheless, I still worry about Yukurishisu′s safety, which I can't verify with any technique. Everything comes to those who waited, so let's wait slowly.
