Academy Light Attribute Vampire - Academy Light Attribute Vampire chapter 59

59 – Forest of Elves (5)

Veronica also opened her mouth in a slightly embarrassed voice, probably because it was an unexpected meeting.

“… Ms. Elena?”

Let’s naturally look at Elena as well.

“Ah.. Ah! That, hello! Headmaster!”

Elena hurriedly dropped her fork and jumped up from her seat to greet her belly button.

“That… It’s okay if you don’t have to go that far outside of school… So be at ease.”

“Ah… Yes!”

‘…I don’t do that at school either.’

-Sueuk.

A female elf sitting in front of Elena,

She got up and greeted Veronica with a big smile.

“It’s been a while, Miss Veronica. I heard she was coming to check on the World Tree. I didn’t expect to see her like this.”

“Oh you…”

Golden eyes that symbolize being a high elf.

And it looks oddly similar to Elena…

“Cyriel!”

Elgrid exclaimed from behind,

I went straight to the seat where Elena was and she started talking to her.

“Is there such a coincidence? I already had something to talk about about the World Tree…!”

A person who naturally converses with Elgrid, who clearly has a high position in a friendly atmosphere.

She seems to be something special.

“Director… Who is that?”

“Cyriel is in charge of the general manager overseeing the rangers.”

“Ah…”

Certainly,

If you’re the leader of the vigilantes protecting the World Tree, you’re probably in a pretty high position.

“And.”

“?”

“For you, it’s also the position of being your friend’s older sister.”

“… Yes?”

Helena’s family?

-Poof.

Let’s turn our heads and take a closer look at Siriel…

‘…Heard and saw’

It definitely resembles Elena.

Of course, I’m more of a cold person than the puppy dealer Elena, but…

At that time.

El Grid, who was talking in the middle of the conversation, approached her at some point and opened her mouth.

“It’s just fine. I have something to say, how about sitting together like this?”

“…A joint seat?”

Sug-

Veronica turns her head and looks into my eyes between her helmets.

‘… It’s a bit difficult.’

Of course, I have nothing to do with the world tree.

It won’t interfere with eating.

The problem is…

‘I forgot.’

I didn’t tell Elena that she was going to come to the Elven Forest.

Stop trying to get over Adela…

Elgrid, who has no way of knowing my feelings, smiles brightly.

I was asking the waiter to add more tableware for three people.

After a while.

“…”

“So, regarding the abnormal signs of the World Tree, the rangers…”

“Certainly, then, this time, the direction of examination is a little more…”

Until the food arrives,

The breathtaking business stories of adults were going on.

‘It doesn’t matter to me…’

– Restlessness.

Elena’s appearance as she doesn’t know what to do as she lifts and drops the fork to roll the pasta.

He was even making a gloomy expression as he watched the pasta getting colder.

‘… Why is it so pitiful?’

It must have been an intimate meal with her older sister whom she met after a long time…

“Oh.”

Fortunately, it seems that Veronica found it.

“… I’m sorry, Ms. Elena. It must have been inconvenient for you to sit together.”

“Ah… Eh? No! Never mind…”

El Grid finally opened her mouth with a bitter smile as if he had understood Elena’s situation.

“Oops, I was too hasty.

Let’s talk about work somewhere quiet after dinner, and let’s eat first.”

“I’d rather do that.”

Ha ha ha.

Dude.

Since the story is over, silence hangs over the table.

“…”

Yeah…

Because the food for the three of us hasn’t been served yet.

The eyes of the three who naturally stopped talking turned to Elena.

-Zig.

“…”

Dalgrak.

Helena’s face is getting redder.

‘I’m about to collapse from indigestion.’

Fortunately, before Elena collapsed by grabbing her stomach,

A waitress approached at just the right time and brought food for three people to the table.

– Phew…

With Elena’s sigh of relief.

They started a light conversation by holding a tableware and asking each other how they were doing.

“…But I’m glad Elena is going to her academy and having fun.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Of course, Ms. Elena passed the preliminaries for this martial arts competition.”

Of course, the only thing the two parties had in common that had nothing to do with the world tree was the academy.

“…”

By the way.

‘What should I do?’

Even though the food came out naturally,

Looking at me, who wasn’t even eating, began to focus on me.

“Anyway, the escort must be very reticent?”

“Huh? You didn’t do that in the carriage earlier…”

Of course there is no way you can eat food.

Because…

“…You don’t take off your helmet?”

Because I was sitting still without taking off my helmet.

‘…I missed the timing.’

As soon as she sat down, she was going to take it off naturally,

I forgot to look at Elena, who was standing still at the story of what started suddenly.

“…No.”

Even if she sits like this, she just stands out more.

She lightly took off her helm and placed it on the window to her right.

-Sueuk.

“…You’re a vampire. I’ll move you inside…”

It was then.

“Rye?!”

Elena, who had quietly put her pasta into her mouth without saying a word,

She opened her eyes wide in surprise and opened her mouth in a loud voice.

“Keep..! Kkeheuk!”

As if that wasn’t enough, I heard a cough and coughed as a bonus.

“Wait. Elena, how rude is that…!”

“… Hi Elena.”

This time, Elgrid and Siriel’s eyes are full of surprise.

“Did you know Elena?”

Veronica, who was watching the situation, smiled faintly.

“They have a good friendship at the academy. They’re on the same team.”

“Academy?”

Siriel’s eyes turned to me naturally.

“If it’s an academy… You mean you’re a student?”

“Yes.”

“…”

Not that surprising…

Am I that presbyopic?

“So, are you saying that the student came as Veronica-sama’s escort…?”

Ah. That’s it.

Before Veronica’s mouth opened for further explanation,

Elgrid spat out words towards Siriel.

“… The escort won the sparring with Lord Hind, so he won’t have to worry about force.”

“Sir Hind?!”

…? How did Elgrid…

Besides…

“This person is also Sir Adela’s younger brother.”

No matter how closed the nation of elves is,

Adela’s name seems light.

“Ah, of that rumor… I see.”

Only then did Siriel nod her head as if she understood everything.

She turned her head to look at Elena, who was still in her amazement.

“She made some good friends.”

“Ugh…Huh?!”

“Excuse me. First of all, please eat before the food gets cold.”

**

“Whoa.”

As befits a shop that Elgrid proudly recommends,

The taste of the food was very good.

When the meal is over,

Now I moved to a quiet place to really have a work-related conversation.

A small cafe inside the Ranger’s quarters.

But…

“Elena, would you like to go home first? Unni will talk to Veronica-sama for a while and then go back.”

“Yeah, I get it.”

In some ways, Elena, who was close to her outsider, was given a congratulatory decree.

Elena nodding her head with a forlorn expression.

I was worried about the way he glanced at me from the restaurant with a crazy expression of curiosity…

‘I can’t help it…’

Since I’m here to work as an escort…

Sug-

At that time.

“Take a walk around the neighborhood with him for a while.”

At some point, Veronica approached and pointed at Elena’s back and issued a congratulatory order to me as well.

“Anyway, isn’t that a bit like that?”

“I still have enough strength left to buy me time when I’m really in danger. Don’t worry and go to Miss Elena.”

It seems that Veronica has always been concerned about Elena.

Then it would be polite not to refuse a favor.

“Thank you…”

“Okay, let’s go.”

At some point, the distance got quite far.

I hurriedly moved towards Elena.

**

‘Why…’

Is Rai going to the Elven Forest with the academy principal?

The first emotion I felt was surprise.

‘How is Rai here…?’

And the emotions that came after that…

The moment I made up my mind to somehow bring him to the Elven Forest because he had no place to go during vacation,

Rai refused, saying that he would stay at school if he had to.

‘I wonder if I wasn’t that trustworthy…?’

Is that why you found a way and came to the elven forest like this?

‘… Come to think of it, it’s too much.’

No matter how much it is, isn’t it something you can do?

‘Next time we meet…’

I will definitely give you a prickly word,

That’s how I decided.

But…

‘Can we meet again?’

Unlike her older sister, who was the leader of the rangers guarding the World Tree, I

She is a high elf, but she doesn’t even have a proper place in the elven forest.

Poor mana for a high elf.

And almost no spirit affinity.

If you look at the current situation, that’s the case.

The leader’s older sister and the head of the academy,

With Elgrid-sama among them, Laiwa proudly observes as an escort.

You are told to return home and wait.

“…It’s depressing.”

-Don’t be depressed. It’ll just be a little late.

“Wow!”

Elena turned her head and looked at someone in her void.

“I told you not to talk to me so suddenly.”

-… I’m sorry.

Anyway, I’m not in a good mood.

I should go home and eat something sweet.

It was then.

-Elena!!

Behind herself as she walked alone toward her house,

I heard a familiar voice.

**

The figure of Elena gets closer and closer.

‘Looks like he’s downhearted…’

The expression she showed the moment she was told to go back,

Heavy steps.

And above all.

Chuug drooping ears.

‘…Don’t you usually use the expression sagging shoulders?’

Anyway, you seem to be in a depressed state because of what happened just now.

I need to go and cheer him up.

At that time.

Elena suddenly turned her head away.

‘Did you notice?’

However, time passed and Elena did not look back.

‘Looks like it wasn’t.’

“Helena!!”

“… Rye?”

Then, as if realizing that I was there, Elena turned her head to look at me.

“What’s up? What about Veronica’s escort?”

I guess I’m a little upset…

“Veronica-sama sent it to me, and she said to take a short walk with you?”

“A walk?”

“Yes. Take me to see the elves’ forest.”

“…”

With Elena’s unusually grim expression, she was vehemently expressing that she was in a bad mood.

“Uh… I’m sorry I didn’t say anything. Stop trying to surprise me with a surprise.”

“…Really?”

No,

It’s a lie. Sorry.

“Huh. Heh..”

I still look at you suspiciously,

The corners of her mouth twitched as if she was a little relieved.

‘It’s simple.’

That’s why it’s so cute.

“By the way, how did you come here with Veronica-sama?”

… Full brain power!

Somehow, you have to come up with a plausible reason on the spot.

“That… Must have originally intended to go with the student who won first place in the martial arts competition, as a kind of reward.

The elven forest is not a place you can easily see.”

“Suddenly? Then Kaela-senpai…?”

“Kaela-senpai, she refused because she is of royalty and she is busy… And thanks to her, I came instead of her.”

“Hmm…Really?”

‘It’s done.’

When the momentum is over, you have to get over the situation quickly.

“We don’t have much time than that, so let’s go and take a look.”

“Yes! Trust me! I know this area very well.”

After that,

For a while, she wandered around the Elven Forest with Elena.

She goes back to the city and buys mushroom skewers, a specialty of the Elven Forest,

She also visited the Learning Center, a building similar to the school Elena attended when she was young.

Even the place where the elves go to worship the world tree every year.

As I wandered around here and there,

At some point, quite a bit of time passed.

Looking at the clock, about two hours had passed.

‘…Looks like we have a lot to talk about.’

Seeing that you still haven’t heard from Veronica,

It seems that the meeting is taking longer than expected.

“Hurry up! It’s real here!”

Fishik.

“Okay. I’ll be right there.”

The figure of Elena, waving her hand in front of me and urging me on, as if she was quite excited.

‘Looks like you’re feeling better now.’

It’s nice to see them running around like children.

“You have to see it before the sun goes down! Come quickly!”

What the heck…

Elena said she wanted to show me one last time and dragged me into the forest.

If you look around, there are only trees and strange plants…

I stepped up to Elena’s side with a little quicker step.

“Just walk along this road and you will arrive!”

It seems that people do not come and go often,

A small promenade leading to coarsely pressed grass.

The long flowering trees that seem to reach the ground all around them,

I felt as if flowers were raining down from the sky.

“Wow…”

“It’s still too early to be surprised! Go inside and see more…!”

It was then.

-Tringing…

I heard the sound of paper shaking in my head.

‘…Huh?’

-…It’s the same.

-…To this…

‘… What?’

My head is dizzy.

This is definitely the first place I’ve been to,

I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere…

Suddenly, I feel like my chest hurts.

Longing.

‘… What is it?’

It was then.

Took.

“… Rye?”

“Huh?”

“Why… Are you crying?”

“What are you talking about. Why am I crying…”

Tuk tuk.

“Huh..?”

A tickling feeling on the face.

Something running down your chin.

Tuk… Tuk tok.

Unbeknownst to me, in my eyes,

Tears were leaking out.
