There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

13. dormitory

In the academy located in a neutral area, there was no separate residential facility.

Instead, all students staying here will be assigned a dormitory without exception.

Up to this point, it doesn’t look like there’s much difference from schools in the Empire or other countries, but there was a little bit of an exception unique to the academy.

That is, men and women share the same building.

It is not that it is divided into different floors or areas, but that there is no division of space.

Still, the academy took measures to ensure that each student could only use a single room in order to maintain a minimum level of public morals.

In the background of such an absurd setting, it can be seen that the parents of the students also had a great influence.

Most of the students attending here were often the children of high-ranking nobles.

As a result, there were many cases where I entered the academy accompanied by servants like I am now.

The servants also played the role of assisting in daily life, but the most important task was to protect their children.

In the early days when academies were founded, distribution was made according to gender, just like any other school.

The school took a special measure because there were complaints that it was impossible to carry out the mission of protection in this way.

I can’t bear to allow coeducation in an academy where young men and women gather. It can be said that a compromise was reached at this level.

“Which room do we prefer? Sirius?”

The dormitory consisted of three buildings for each grade level.

Luna and I, who will be new residents of the 1st year building, were contemplating on what floor to settle on.

“But wouldn’t the first floor be nice? It’s convenient to go to class or something.”

I, who don’t like moving very much, gave my opinion sneakily.

Luna shook her head as if she was worried.

“Certainly, the first floor is comfortable… but there are so many bad things about the first floor…”

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s noisy. A lot of people come and go.”

It wasn’t exactly wrong, but I didn’t care. Even if it’s a bit noisy, sleeping for 10 minutes more in the morning increases the satisfaction index for me.

“Ah~ It’s okay, everyone will be quiet in the evening… It’s a single room~”

“It’s not like that…”

I don’t know what part it was, but Luna said in a low voice while twisting her body.

“What if someone hears…”

hmm…? What are you listening to…? After thinking about it for a while, I felt the temperature of my face rise.

Certainly, if there are rumors of this kind, it will become a gossip within the academy, and it will tire us in many ways.

It’s for a vague reason, but I quickly changed into an attitude of acceptance and nodded my head.

“Certainly, the first floor is a bit inconvenient~ There are a lot of things to worry about. Yes, Luna says things right after a long time~”

Embarrassed, I scratched my head.

“transformation.”

One word from Luna hit me right in the middle.

No, but you were the one who brought up the story first…

Looking for a slightly higher floor, we selected the most corner room on the top floor.

Basically, in the case of the self-restraint and the employee, if the relationship can be verified, they will be grouped right away and work in the direction of being assigned to the next room.

“Hmm… But I think it’ll be popular if you’re on the top floor, but I hope you’re lucky.”

If two or more students apply for the same room, the school side will randomly select one through a fair method and select the other from among the remaining rooms.

We applied for two rooms in the name of Earl Iaros at the reception desk and left.

After fighting with Seria and completing the dormitory application, we wanted to participate in a dinner party to welcome the admissions.

The dinner party, of course, was as splendid as it had to suit the taste of the high-ranking people.

“Oh… the world is wide…”

All kinds of rare-looking ingredients and twinkling lights made my mouth open.

Growing up in a rural town at the edge of the border, in Amelia’s colorless castle, was a great experience for me.

“Hey. What’s wrong. Sirius.”

Luna tapped me with her elbow for showing off an air of admiration too openly.

No, why… You must have been the princess of the Demon King… I’m new to this…

“That looks really good… that one too…”

“You can’t. You’ll need to come to my house once.”

Luna whined in a tone that said she didn’t like something.

Come to think of it, have you seen Luna? He had hardly ever talked about the Mawangseong.

Maybe she didn’t answer because she didn’t ask, but she never talked about her family well.

Of course, since Luna knew all about how I came to follow Master, I also thought that maybe she didn’t tell the story of her family out of consideration.

“Ah~ lady. What are you talking about? I’m a member of the Iaros family too!”

I was playful and told her with a round and round laugh.

Luna laughed as if it was absurd and asked her to listen for a while.

“…Are you saying that my dad is like a human brawler…?”

no…!

No no…!

My.. please finger snap…!

I remembered a note from the Demon King that I had forgotten for a moment.

Originally, the really scary person is the one who doesn’t talk.

I learned from my master that I should be most wary of people I don’t know what they’re thinking.

In that context, I was afraid that the demon king was already holding my lifeline, but I was more afraid because I did not know what he was thinking.

I was watching… I was suddenly thinking that my every move might be being reported somewhere.

Unaware of the contents of the note, Luna was taken aback when I looked slightly fed up.

“It’s a joke~ Why are you kidding me so much, are you okay?”

“Then~ It’s okay~ I… It’s okay… I can’t compare Luna’s father to someone like that… ha… ha ha…”

“Sirius. I don’t know what my father’s image is in your head, but he’s a better person than I thought?”

That’s right, because you’re a daughter.

You can ask anyone in the academy right now, no, any demon in the Pandemonium.

What do you think the demon king’s personality would be like?

The answer was obvious.

If you make one mistake, you are a fearsome person who goes straight to the other world. That was the Demon King.

“Uh… I really want to see you.”

Still, if you happen to see the Demon Lord, it’s better to go with Luna.

I didn’t want to go to the Demon Castle to stop Seria from going to kill the Demon King.

Inside the banquet hall was crowded with people.

Students were already eating in groups as if they had started to create their own community.

Luna and I loaded up our food and sat at a table for eight.

“Luna”

“huh?”

It was Luna who was making a happy face while munching on food.

“That… don’t we have to go somewhere and talk to each other…?”

Of course, I knew that today was not the only opportunity, but seeing the group talking hahahahahoho

After doing this, even if the semester started in earnest, I was worried that only the two of us would be bullied.

I had no experience of living properly in a place called school.

When I was young, all I had to do was take lessons from the village headman at the village school with Seria and about 10 other children.

That’s why I was anxious inside.

The kids here are stronger than me, so I didn’t try to get on with them, but I needed a foothold to approach Seria naturally.

It wouldn’t be strange if Luna and Seria clashed sincerely with the same feeling as before without any process, even if the entire academy was blown away.

I was diligently rolling my head and making plans, but Luna didn’t seem to be interested in eating.

I like to eat like this, and it felt amazing how I endured under Master.

“Luna… Shall I go and ask that kid over there to eat together…?”

Luna glanced at the direction I pointed at and frowned.

“…Do you like a child like that…?”

Why does the accident circuit only work that way?

I pointed at a girl nearby without thinking, but it seems to be a gender miss.

“Ha… it’s not like that… Then what about that boy standing over there…?

“But right now the two of us are eating, do we really have to eat with someone else?”

Luna’s reaction was lukewarm.

That’s it… let’s give up…

Obviously, there will be opportunities to make new friends naturally.

Having put down Luna’s persuasion, like Luna, I emptied the food and left, almost like putting my nose in the plate.

Certainly expensive food tastes good.

“Yes. I think you can use room 604 or 605 as requested by Luna Iaros.”

The staff kindly informed us that we had won the room we had applied for.

“Wow really? Thank you~”

Luna seemed to be in a good mood, took the key and handed it to me.

But it wasn’t difficult for me or Luna to be on the 6th floor by stairs, but I thought it would take a while to get to the room.

But it’s such a nuisance. I thought it was a cheap price compared to the benefits of being on the top floor.

Imagining secretly being in the same room as Luna made my heart race just thinking about it.

Luna, who recently became blue-eyed because of a ring, felt like a different person, and had a different charm.

While chatting, we reached the sixth floor and had no choice but to stop in the hallway.

“Oh my God. Such a coincidence…! Excuse me during the day…”

In front of us, Seria, sweeping her blonde hair, was waiting with the key to Room 603.

Rather than being bothered by Seria, I automatically turned my head to look at Luna.

Sure enough, Luna was glaring at Seria with her arms crossed.

“It really varies.”

I could feel Luna’s stomach boiling.

1 day 2 is not a thorn cushion… I was the one who wanted to.
