Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy - Chapter 379
379 – I, Return – 3
The academy is a place that should be a symbol of peace, but to me it is like a small battlefield. Unfortunately, the academy in my heart was just a hopeless place because of the trolling of the 1977 members last year, and now because of the future to be robbed. Is this going to happen again next year?
Anyway, going to a place of despair by myself was the equivalent of self-destruction, so I braved the shame and returned with reinforcements.
“It’s been a while since we all got together, right?”
“Yes, this is the first time since the first semester started.”
Seeing Fenelia wandering around the academy gave her a sense of relief. If Fenelia is a reinforcement, she has at least a little hope.
Academy and Penelia. It was a combination that would not normally be possible, but it was a situation where the ink clown was on vacation and all five except for Fenelia were residing at the academy, so I naturally brought them. It’s sad to be alone in a place where everyone else is.
‘The more allies, the better.’
Furthermore, Fenelia’s joining has created a situation where the two of you are fighting against the five, rather than facing the five alone. If I had to choose between the two, it would definitely be the latter.
‘Even Elizabeth can be captured.’
Even if Fenelia is present, the possibility of Elizabeth joining this side increases. The two of them are close, but Elizabeth is also an official of the Inspection Department, who has been reckless in her own way. I would be relatively tolerant of fighting and getting hurt myself. With my sincere persuasion and Fenelia’s support, the three of us can even lead a close battle against the four.
…I feel ashamed because it seems like there are schemes against my lover, but I can’t help it right now. If things go wrong, I will be beaten up against five people, but I have to make a way for myself to live.
And this is a good lie. It is right to mention what has already happened and move on as if nothing happened as much as possible for the couple to worry about.
I believe so.
When I went to the confectionery club room, no one was there. Since it was class time, it was natural that the members were not there, but since Beatrix was not there, it seemed that she was in the middle of a lecture.
But there is no Elizabeth. Is he usually in the dorm rather than in the club room?
‘That’s great.’
This was helped by Enen. If five people are scattered, it will be easier to contact each other. If it had been together, it would have ended without even trying.
“Fenelia. Would you like to go to the inspector’s quarters? Elizabeth will be there too, so take a break.”
“I… Alone?”
“The other kids are in class, so I’ll have to see them later, but they’re in the president’s office. I want to see their faces.”
Fenelia quickly nodded to those words. I don’t know if that acceptance is consideration for my first wife, or if I’m giving in because I feel like I’ve monopolized me all this time.
Of course, either way, the reaction is too mild. I wish I could show a little bit of my own greed, but there is no such thing.
“Then I’ll be back.”
After thinking for a moment, he kissed Fenelia on the cheek. It’s a pity that she seems to suppress her own desires, but what can I do with her Fenelia’s personality. Rather than forcibly correcting or pointing out, she had no choice but to leave it to time.
When I turned my back, there was no answer. This too is a matter of time.
***
Beatrix, who was checking the communication port that suddenly vibrated, quietly opened her mouth.
From noble mtl dot net
“The baby is here.”
It was a short and simple statement, but my body was excited. I’m sure it was the words of the older sister of the owner of the Mage Tower. If Carl comes to the academy, the magician’s teleport is needed, so it’s only natural that her sister hears the news.
‘Finally.’
She nodded, trying to suppress the corners of her smirking mouth. Carl is finally back. After the war, they finally returned to us.
Yesterday, he got a call from Carl that he would be back today or tomorrow, so he was preparing his mind, but when he heard that he had really come, he felt his heart race. After all, the return of a long-distanced lover is something that cannot be calmed down with any preparation.
“They say Fenelia came along too. Yes, otherwise we’ll see each other during winter break.”
Good news comes after good news. I was worried about going to the battlefield with Carl, but seeing that she came all the way to the academy, it seems that Fenelia unnie has returned safely.
“Are you both fine?”
“Fortunately, neither of them was hurt.”
When I asked just in case, the answer I wanted came back. Carl and Fenelia are all safe—
“Because it would have been cured.”
My body trembled at the words that followed. Hearing that Carl was hurt, I felt sad and sad at the same time.
Clearly Carl had nothing to fight about because he was the inspector, so he left, emphasizing several times not to worry. While he did, he fought in a place we didn’t know about, and even hid it.
‘I understand, but…’
Actually, I understand Carl’s feelings. He was appointed by His Majesty the Emperor himself as Inspector, so he cannot avoid going to war. Since we are in a position where we have to go anyway, it must have been comforting because our worries were in our hearts. At the time, he was confused by the fact that Carl was in the army, but he could understand it after he regained his reason.
And, and my father said that it was unavoidable for soldiers to get injured in battle. With the words that it is best not to get hurt, but living as an unmanned person cannot only experience the best of situations.
So I understood that Carl had participated in the battle and that he was injured, so I moved on. I, who waited in a safe place, asked Carl, the person who fought on the battlefield, ‘Why are you hurt?’ Is it too much to say the same thing?
But Carl was silent. He shut his mouth as if nothing had happened.
‘To be honest, I wouldn’t say anything.’
He let out a small sigh. If you try to fathom Carl’s feelings this time, you can assume that he kept his mouth shut for fear of us worrying. Maybe he thinks there’s no need to mention it because his injuries have been completely healed.
…But how could Beatrix not know what happened in the war? Above all wizards is her sister, and it is natural for the wizard who healed Carl’s wounds to report to her sister.
Why don’t you think about it and hide it? It’s just pitiful.
“Still, when I see my baby, I should smile and welcome him. How sad would it be if a lover whom I haven’t seen in a long time treats me badly?”
She pretended not to hear her older sister’s words as she added, “I’m sorry I made you sad first.”
– Knock Knock
While having a normal conversation with her sister again, someone knocked on the door.
“Mar, it’s me.”
I bit her lips when I heard her familiar and longed for voice. My heart raced earlier, but this time I feel like crying. I can’t even control my emotions.
It was the same for her older sister, so she could see small water droplets in her eyes. For now, both me and my sister, all of her sadness toward the knife has disappeared.
“De, listen, come, Carl.”
As I barely managed to control my emotions, I opened my mouth and the door opened. Familiar black hair and familiar black eyes came into view.
And Carl came in with a smile and his eyes started to tremble as soon as he saw my sister with me.
***
It’s ruined. It was screwed up from the start.
I was going to meet them one by one with the intention of breaking them individually, but the two most feared beings were gathered in one place.
“It’s been a while. I saw it through a communication tool, but it’s better to see it in person.”
He opened his mouth, restarting his head, which had stopped working for a moment. My plans went awry, but now that I think about it, I’ve been ruined more times than the ones that went as planned. It’s not really something to despair about.
“I missed you a lot.”
Besides, now is not the time to think about finding a way to live, but now is the time to rejoice in reuniting with your lover. Telling a nice lie and thinking differently in front of your partner are two different things.
While saying that, I hugged the two who had just risen from the sofa. Fortunately, humans have two arms, so they can hold both at the same time. It would be perfect if there were four more, but it’s a pity.
“I’m sorry I’m late. I really wanted to come yesterday, but I had some work to do.”
“Gwa, it’s okay. I’m glad Carl came back safely.”
When I said sorry for being late, Marr shook his head hurriedly. If your conscience is not pricked by the words that you are safe, you will be a beast.
“Me too, I’m fine too. How about if I’m a little late. I can hold my baby like this.”
If you don’t look at the arm when you say hug, you’re a beast—-
…
‘Ah.’
I only realized the truth belatedly after hearing the words that stabbed my conscience. No, maybe he has finally faced the truth he had been ignoring.
‘I was caught.’
The truth that each one is defeated, persuasive, and blasphemy has already been revealed.
There is no such thing as the perfect crime in the world, so I was prepared to be caught to some extent. Only a few people saw me rushing to the Saray line, or spearheading the final battle. Of course, I thought it would be difficult to hide the fact that I participated in the battle itself.
I just focus on the questioning of the lovers on whether or not to participate in battle, so the topic doesn’t flow until the injury. That was the end goal. It was a strategy to give up the flesh and protect the bones.
I was ruined before I even started.
‘There’s no way Beatrix wouldn’t know.’
It seems that while using Sky Slash, he used not only mana but also intelligence. According to common sense, there is no existence on this continent that can escape the gaze of Beatrix, the owner of the Mage Tower. All wizards on the continent are Beatrix’s eyes and ears.
Of course, even at the time when intelligence was degenerated, the minimum intelligence was left, and they made their own preparations. I asked the wizard who came with the commander of the northern army to keep quiet about the wound. Maybe thanks to Beatrix’s halo, even the wizards listen to me quite a bit.
But from the wizard’s point of view, if the orders of the tower owner and the owner’s companion collide with each other, who will they follow?
‘Damn it.’
The arms that embraced the two of them trembled.
“Thank you so much for coming back like this, Carl.”
I began to tremble even more at Mar’s sobbing voice.
“Baby, the club time is still far away… Can you stay like this for a moment?”
It’s strange. It’s obviously a mixture of affection and watery words, but ‘I’ll put it next to you and brush it off.’ It sounded like
Would you forgive me if I hit you in the head right now…?
