Academy’s Second Seat - Academy’s Second Seat chapter 114

taken from noblemtl.net

Me and Luna walked around the estate and looked around.

At first, I ate food and looked around the surrounding shops, and now I came to look around the surrounding fortress walls.

“Huh… … .”

I looked at the wall and sighed in admiration.

How do you feel when you see the Great Wall?

The long wall of the fortress was overwhelming.

It was truly ironclad.

There were a couple of soldiers walking around and guarding the wall, and I could see that there were weapons lying around.

It was probably prepared in advance for the attack of the demons.

Me and Luna walked slowly along the wall like that.

The surroundings were empty.

No one exists except the soldiers… … .

However, the soldiers did not pay much attention to us as they were guarding the outside of the castle.

This is a place where only officials can enter.

We came on a field trip as a student who came to apply, so we can enter, but ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

Since this is a place that only authorized people can enter, the soldiers did not care about their back and only looked outside the castle.

“Me, Rudy?”

As I stared blankly at the wall, Luna led my sleeve.

“yes?”

“That person… … Isn’t something strange?”

I looked at where Luna was pointing.

There, I saw people walking around and looking around.

To be called a soldier guarding the fortress wall, his clothes were different.

And he was moving carefully, as if he was trying to hide his appearance a little.

suspicious behavior.

It was as if anyone could see it and say, ‘What did I do wrong!’

I made eye contact with Luna.

“what?”

“Well? What is he doing?”

Luna and I stared at him, then looked at each other again.

“Would you like to watch a little bit?”

There must be some reason for someone who is wandering like that in an empty, empty field.

More than that, I wondered how he got here.

There were only a few ways for non-soldiers to get in.

There was a part that I guessed to some extent.

The story we heard.

rebel.

Maybe it’s related to that

Of course it might not be.

However, I decided that it would be better to watch for a while rather than just skip it after seeing a suspicious person.

We followed him carefully.

The place he goes is near the outer camp wall.

There, he was standing around and acting as if he was waiting for someone.

“Who are you waiting for… … ?”

“Do not know… … will you?”

The two of us hid by the stairs leading up to the castle and watched the situation.

“Hmm… … .”

I leaned on the stairs and looked up.

And I thought.

rebel?

Or for some other reason?

That was when I was looking up and thinking.

I could see the soldier on the top of the castle walking towards the stairs.

“ah… … .”

I looked at it and looked at Luna.

Luna is sticking out her face from the stairs.

I immediately pulled Luna.

“🍆!”

Luna made a small, strange noise and was drawn towards me.

Luna, who was dragged towards me as it was, settled in front of me.

I shut Luna’s mouth.

And it stuck to the wall and hid itself.

thump thump.

I heard the footsteps of the guards.

I couldn’t see it properly, but I could tell that it was going down the stairs.

I held my breath and focused on the sound of footsteps.

And I heard footsteps getting farther away.

I sighed in relief and looked at Luna.

Luna in front of me was staring intently at my face.

“yes?”

“uh?”

As soon as our eyes met, Luna quickly moved away from me.

“Oh, no. I have nowhere to lay my eyes… … that is.”

Luna waved her arms and made excuses because she was very embarrassed.

“No, because I was in a hurry.”

I looked at Luna like that and smiled as if it was okay.

“Ahaha… … .”

Luna smiled awkwardly and turned my gaze to the side.

“uh?”

At that moment, Luna pointed her finger to where the person was before.

I looked there.

I saw the guard who had just come down and the man who had been walking around, greeting them.

However, there was a problem.

It was a bit far from where we were hiding, so the sound could not be heard properly.

I frowned.

“Would you like to come a little closer?”

Then Luna shook her head.

“Then you will get caught. There is nowhere to hide.”

Luna started taking something out of her bag.

What he took out of his bag was Levi’s magic book.

Luna took out the spell book and turned the page.

“There is a magic that can be used in times like these!”

After turning the pages like that, Luna chose a magic circle.

And moved mana.

Levin’s magic book lit a small light.

– Hey, thank you so much for yesterday.

There was a small sound from the magic book.

It was the sound of their conversation.

Then Luna smiled triumphantly.

I don’t know what magic was used, but when I saw Luna like that, I gave a thumbs up.

After making such a gesture, we focused on the sound of their conversation.

– Thanks to you, I can get a good drink too.

alcohol?

When I heard this far, I had no idea.

The person who was just walking around was suspicious, but there is something.

A soldier who came in plain clothes.

-And, that madam was really good.

-Heh heh, it looks like you had a good time. It’s good to see you.

“… … enjoy it?”

Luna tilted her head in bewilderment.

– That madam is a very famous person.

I opened my eyes.

I doubted my ears.

Luna quietly looked at the magic book, then slowly raised her head and looked at me.

Luna’s face is getting redder.

oh

I quickly moved my hands to cover Luna’s ears.

“Don’t listen.”

“Uh, huh?”

Luna started to panic when I covered her ears.

– Whoa, really-.

I frowned.

I didn’t come here to hear such gossip.

Hearing obscene rumors with Luna’s ears covered made me feel ashamed of myself.

“Lu, Rudy, are you done now?”

Luna looked at me with a puzzled expression.

However, the two did not stop talking.

I shook my head slightly and smiled awkwardly.

When I smiled like that, Luna smiled too.

-Have you prepared for that more than that?

it?

I focused on a subject that suddenly changed.

– Do you know how hard it was to get this?

– After all, ‘that person’ wouldn’t have saved it. why are you shy

I removed my hands from Luna’s ears.

– Well, you handle it well. The explosion radius is quite large, so be careful.

-I get it. Any other words from the rebels?

– It’s always the same. I wish you well.

So the two chatted and then parted.

Seeing the two of them parting, he frowned.

What’s happening at the bottom.

bomb.

rampart.

rebel.

And ‘that person’?

Who is ‘that person’?

“Did the meeting go well?”

“A meeting is just a meal, isn’t it?”

Locke’s father, Lucarion’s head, Darren Lucarion, said with a smile.

Locke looked at his father and asked a question.

“I heard that Astina-senpai is here.”

“Yeah, that’s pretty cool. At such a young age, it seems that a woman cannot be underestimated.”

Darren was an old man in the north who had gone through a lot of antenatal care.

Astina expressed her opinion without being discouraged even in front of such Darren.

He did not accept Darren’s opinion unconditionally because he was a veteran.

I considered the rationality of that opinion logically, accepted it if it was correct, and rejected it if it was not.

Darren liked Astina’s attitude.

Even though Astina was a powerful heir to the Marquis family, she still had little experience.

So I thought that I wouldn’t be able to show such a good figure in this monster invasion, but Darren meekly admitted that he was wrong.

“It seems that the empire is slowly undergoing a generational change.”

Darren had already had so much experience that it was difficult for him to think as flexible as Astina.

He relied on his own experience rather than logical judgment, and preferred maintenance to change.

However, seeing Astina thinking like that, I thought it was time to pass it on to future generations.

Locke looked at his father, Darren, who was smiling like that and opened his mouth.

“More than that, why didn’t Cedric not come this time?”

“You mean Cedric?”

Cedric.

It was the name of the mercenary king.

Cedric would always return to the north when there was a monster invasion in the north.

However, Cedric was not present at today’s meal.

It was a place where any mercenary king could stay.

It was a meal that most of the people who could be called representatives and those with a lot of experience in the North were invited.

This dining area was a forum for sharing information.

Sharing information about the northern and monster attacks… … .

However, Cedric was not at the dinner table today.

Cedric, his hometown was the North.

So everyone called Cedric a migratory bird.

A migratory bird that returns to its hometown as soon as a demon comes.

However, this year, Cedric did not appear.

“There will be work. They may have settled in another territory.”

Cedric is a mercenary.

a free soul

No matter how northern the hometown was, the lord could not capture him.

“As there is a saying that ignorance is good news, you know you are doing well.”

As Darren said that, his expression was not very good.

Cedric is a colleague who has been with Darren for a while.

He was a comrade who entrusted his back whenever there was a monster attack.

I couldn’t see Cedric like that, so I couldn’t help but worry, no matter how much Daren was.

“We still have some time left until the monster invasion, so let’s wait and see.”

Darren said with a kind smile.

“… … ah?”

I rubbed my eyes.

Are you tired today?

I see something in vain

After all, I had been around the village for a long time and had a lot of thoughts after hearing various stories, so I thought it could be.

Does Luna have the same thoughts as me? ‘Huh? uh?’ He groaned and shook his head.

“long time no see.”

A red-haired woman waving her hand to say hello.

He crossed his legs in a chair and smiled sternly.

“… … Astina-senpai?”

I looked at her with a puzzled face.
