I Noticed That It Was an Academy After 10 Years

220.Prepare Thoroughly (1)

Two days have passed since the mock battle.

Since no one was seriously injured, the children who received Karina’s simple healing magic had a pleasant rest.

The girls except Shuri had a sweet time chatting, Louis was busy dating Shuri, and I spent time with Lennie taking care of the remaining work.

I don’t have a lot of work to do, but perhaps thanks to my fame, there are quite a few nobles who want to see me in the imperial capital…

“How many invitations are there…”

“It’s unnecessarily popular.”

I don’t have any intention of participating in the party or anything, but it’s bothersome to send out invitations because I’m so excited. Should we be glad that the royal family wasn’t interested?

No, maybe they just don’t have the time to call me because of the fight for the throne.

Write. When will I have to go to the capital and sort out the imperial family, including the battle for the throne?

If possible, someone who is friendly to me or who will act well as a puppet.

It may seem like a villainous idea, but only in this way can there be hope in this dark fantasy-like world with no dreams or hope.

First of all, it is easy to respond to emergency situations if we somehow control the empire’s trolling.

“I caught the devil, of course. “You have achieved something that even the first saint and her companions could not do.”

“You helped too, didn’t you?”

“All I did was blow off my head in the end. Because you were the one who actually did it. “I didn’t see you, but I heard you won in a battle of brains?”

It was a battle of heads.

In fact, it was easier than I thought because I planned the game so that I could win. Since I had knowledge of the original work, there were many ways to exploit its weaknesses.

Crucially, the power of the Book of Wishes was great.

Without the Book of Wishes, it would have been very difficult to increase the win rate. In order to impose coercion on a demon, or even a high-ranking demon, there was no other way than to amplify the power of the Book of Wishes and explode it with one blow.

“When I first met him, I thought he was a native of some place, but now it’s already been a year since we met…”

“Has it already happened like that?”

Will I be 20 after this year?

Since I haven’t aged until now, I can’t tell whether I will age again or not.

Now that I think about it, wasn’t Lenny’s birthday around December?

My memory isn’t good enough to remember each character’s date of birth, but I vaguely remembered Lennie’s birthday illustration because it was drawn by my favorite illustrator.

…Maybe even this is a correction.

“Lenny, when is your birthday?”

“Well, there’s only one month left. Because it’s December 30th.”

Is it almost the end of the year? Lennie muttered with a disgruntled look on his face at the story I brought up.

“Are you turning another year older?”

For a woman, turning one year older must seem like a big deal. Especially Lenny, who was long past the marriageable age.

“You can’t stop the flow of time.”

“Oh, by the way, how old are you? “I don’t think I’ve ever felt your age-“

“You mean my age?”

“Okay. I heard you lived there for 10 years? “Then he must be quite old, maybe twenty-seven?”

Lennie’s face was full of curiosity. Maybe it was because it was difficult to guess her my age her based on her appearance her her her. I thought for a moment and answered honestly.

“I’m 19.”

“What? I think I heard wrong-“

“I’m 19.”

“Hey, don’t joke-“

“It’s real.”

“I am your older sister… ” ?”

I nodded silently. Lenny looked more shocked than when she first saw me. She stared at my face her her her her. In a low voice, she said, “With that face, you’re younger than me…” ” “Lenny muttered, and then she asked me with an incredible expression.

“Really, really, it’s not a joke, is it? He’s 4 years younger than me… ?”

“Can I call you sister?”

“Don’t do it!”

When I made a joke to a shocked Lenny, I got a strong reaction. Is it really that shocking that I’m 19? Doesn’t this make you look like you’re 19?

I watched Lennie walking backwards, hugging her her her her as if she had goosebumps all over her her body her her her, and she laughed.

I heard there’s a secretly cute side to it.

“Is it such a problem that I’m younger? Sister Lenny.”

“Just call me Lenny… ” “

I felt like I was going to hit her in the back if I said any more, so I stopped playing with her and told her my business.

“I guess I’ll have to go to the briefing soon.”

“The dungeon is okay. Did you find it?”

“Okay.”

I gave a vague answer and left the office. Lenny came out after me and walked down the hallway next to me.

“It’s a dungeon… It’ll be okay, right? “I’m a little uneasy because it reminds me of the desert island…” ” “

“Don’t worry, dungeons like that are not common.”

If dungeons like that were common, this world wouldn’t have been ruined a long time ago. There is no answer to a dungeon that is so close to impossible. If you think about it carefully, there was a possibility that it was a by-product of the ‘dungeon’, whether it was a bear cub or a snake cub.

If something like Hydra bursts out, it would be a catastrophe. It was easier to capture than I thought, but it was possible because I used every means at my disposal and even had my colleagues with me.

It was obvious that if it had popped out here, the victim would have been terrifying.

How can I hold on when hydrochloric acid is spewing out of my mouth?

“I guess so?”

Lennie still looked anxious. Doesn’t my assurance alone give you peace of mind? Or maybe Lennie’s obsession disease had come back. There was a tendency to be fanatically obsessed with Karina’s safety

“Don’t worry too much. There are two of us, so what danger is there? “I’m confident I can get out of any situation, so don’t worry too much.”

“Yeah… That’s right. After. There are a lot of things that bother me these days. “I’m so worried.”

Something that bothers you?

At those words, I looked at Lennie. Leni’s face she looked more worried than usual. When she looked like that, I couldn’t help but ask.

“Is something happening?”

“Uhm. It’s just that something strange happened. “Don’t worry.”

“It’s a face that asks you to pay attention.”

At my words, Lenny sighed and confessed her true feelings to me.

“…A letter arrived.”

“Letter?”

“Huh. Did I tell you that I used to work as a mercenary?”

I don’t remember if I did it, but since it was something I knew, I agreed. When Lennie saw me nod, she sighed, and then she told me what had happened.

“Someone I knew from my mercenary days sent me a letter. How did you find out it was here? Anyway, I opened the letter and read it… And it said it was asking for help.”

“Please help me?”

“Okay. It looks like the mercenary group that stabbed me is targeting an acquaintance. “I don’t know why… “

“…Hmm. “This is troublesome.”

“Right? Now, I am quitting my mercenary job and living a new life. Even if I ask for help, I don’t know how to help. “I’m not in a position where I can move carelessly anymore, right? “

What Lennie said was valid.

I am here after having a hard time severing ties with the past, and you ask me to come and resolve the issues of the past. It was something that even I couldn’t help but worry about. Maybe it’s his parents, but there’s no way Lennie, who was an orphan, has parents.

Anyway, Lennie seemed very troubled by that.

Even if it doesn’t seem like it, I have a soft side.

“If you want to go, it’s okay to go.”

“But…”

“Aren’t you worried because there’s something that bothers you too? “I will be protecting Karina, so it is okay for her to come back.”

As for Harpas, only his head remained, hanging on the wall in my room, so there was no danger. Almost all of the Harpas Church has been wiped out, so it looks like they have no power to do anything.

It doesn’t seem like the humans will try to harm Karina. Anyone who says no is crazy. It’s a world where if you see someone trying to do something, they regard him as a devil and get praised even if he kills them all and throws them out on the street.

“It’s far from here. It will take a while… “

“It’s okay.”

“…No. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to go.”

“If that’s you.”

If I had to, I was planning to have them use the portal installed in the basement of the academy. There is no need to use it if you don’t intend to go. The procedure is also quite complicated.

We arrived at the reception room where the students were gathered, talking secretly.

“John John! It’s here!”

Everyone is gathered except us.

Is it natural that we were about 3 minutes late? I sat down and apologized.

“I’m sorry I’m late.”

“No. “You came back from work just a moment ago, right?”

Karina smiled and accepted my apology. I nodded, feeling her gaze focused on me, and then glanced at the people looking at me.

“Is anyone sick?”

“I checked when we got together and it wasn’t there. Everyone is healthy.”

A checkup for the saint. It must have been quite a valuable experience.

“Thank goodness. Then, we will now begin the dungeon exploration briefing.”

The first program of winter vacation. The beginning of dungeon exploration has begun.
