Swordmaster of the Red Light District - Swordmaster of the Red Light District chapter 236

Aegis (10)

236

Seria is not stupid.

At least Ray thought so.

After being locked up in a labyrinth for nearly 10 years, Seria’s way of thinking and sensibility was a bit unique.

Still, Seria behaved normally in a really important position, and although there was a bit of buffering in the middle, she was now able to talk in a normal way.

Of course, when dealing with comfortable opponents, Seria would mix and match word orders according to her own convenience, but Rey was fine up to that point.

However, Seria’s love for her nephew and the expression of affection that followed was very difficult to bear.

If I had watched it a little more often, the level of affection would have been lowered, but that was realistically impossible.

It was hard to see their faces, so every time we met, Seria was so anxious that she couldn’t brag about her nephew.

“…”

Ray was still terrified of the disaster that had occurred the day before.

The faces of the cadets looking at Ray were very strange.

Meanwhile, Aegis Instructor Nelson gathered all the cadets ahead of the 3rd grade cadets’ first outing.

Don’t go out and buy.

After repeating the warning tiringly, Nelson finally dismissed the cadets.

All the 3rd grade cadets prepared to go out with excitement.

It was not possible to do anything great by going out to the emperor right away, but I was able to relieve the cramping just by leaving the Aegis site.

Ray put on her uniform in the room and put a brooch near her chest.

Aegis cadets must unconditionally wear uniforms when going out.

If you go out, change clothes, hide your identity, and get caught, the work is not finished with a simple warning.

“Then see you later.”

“Oh, yes.”

Aaron left the room and after a while Rey came out of the dormitory.

As soon as Rei left the dormitory, she was able to run into Seria who was standing near the front door of the dormitory.

“…”

Ray wiped his face.

An indescribable cramp filled my heart.

It’s not the mother who came to see the kindergartener on a picnic, so why is Seria standing here?

Meanwhile, Seria, who found Rey, approached Rey and held out her hand.

“hand.”

“…Would you like to hold hands?”

Seria nodded her head.

In the end, Rey endured it and protested against Seria.

“No…! Aunt…!! Me and I are now 19 years old…!! Nineteen!!”

Considering the memories of his previous life, Rey’s mental age was even higher than that of Seria.

Anyway, Ray was about to turn twenty soon, considering her age here.

“I’m in my twenties, right? Just…! If my aunt treats me like a child…!

At Rey’s sincere protest, Seria opened her mouth slightly.

Seria looked at Rei and her hand held out in front of her, showing a disappointment.

“Adolescence is here, to my nephew…”

“No aunt, my puberty was long past!”

“Ray is a rebel…”

I saw Seria heard too.

It is said that a child with a rebellious attitude will sometimes refuse the touch of a guardian.

Still, I thought our nephew would be different, but in the end, rebellion came to Ray as well.

Seria became depressed, but Rey did not break her claim this time.

“I’m not going to hold my aunt’s hand. Don’t brag while holding me and shaking me in front of others!”

“…Are your nephews ashamed of their aunts?”

“…”

As Seria walked up to the crochet, Ray tapped her forehead.

However, Rey nailed it accurately to protect her dignity, despite Seria’s advance notice.

“I’m ashamed to walk around holding hands.”

“…Then I won’t hold your hand.”

“Yeah, don’t hold me in front of other people.”

Seria became pale again.

Either way, Ray had no intention of making concessions.

In the end, Seria, who promised to refrain from boasting about her nephew, left Aegis with Rey.

One way or another, in the end, Rey went out with Seria.

*

There were a lot of things to do in the vicinity of the Yellow Capital.

Reina Seriana was insensitive to things like that, so she went to the restaurant first.

Rei and Seria found a restaurant with a large glass wall and sat down.

There was no price tag, so I didn’t know how much the food would cost, but they both had ample pockets, so they didn’t mind.

Seria’s lips twitched as the waiter approached to take her order.

It was a face she wanted to show off her nephew, but Seria tolerated it well.

Thanks to this, Ray completed the order without being bullied.

After a while, when the food came out, Ray rolled up the noodles with a fork and asked Seria.

“Did your aunt come to Aegis alone?”

“We came together to the ecliptic. With Diorika. We are still in the ecliptic.”

“Ah, salty nephew.”

Rey, who was thinking about whether to go and say hello, shook her head. It seemed there was no need to do that.

Ray continued the conversation while eating, asking Seria and her well-being.

Seria didn’t know that Rey was awarded the Order of Imperial Defense, so she had to lie about what she was doing during that time.

So, about a third of the way through the meal, Ray looked outside and saw someone.

It was jusepin.

While walking down the street, Giusepin stood in front of a store selling food or trinkets, rolling her eyes and repeating her steps when she noticed.

Then, Giuseppin stood in front of the shop where Ray was eating.

Giusepin also rolled her eyes and looked around the store, and her eyes met with Rei.

“…”

“…”

Rey without a second thought beckoned him to come in.

Giusepin was about to refuse right away, but when he saw Seria sitting in front of Rey, he crawled into the store.

Ray asked, pointing to the chair.

“Did you eat?”

“Not yet…”

“If you don’t have any other reservations, go eat here.”

Ray recommended that we should live face to face for a while in order to alleviate some of the awkwardness in advance.

Misunderstandings about things related to Seria… Well, there was no misunderstanding, but I wanted to clear up any misunderstandings anyway.

But after hearing Ray’s suggestion, Giusepin looked around the store with a look of anxiety.

Ray added just in case.

“The instructor bought the meal.”

“aunt.”

“…my aunt will buy it for you.”

“Uh… um… thanks…”

When Seria said she would buy it, Giusepin, who was seated again, touched her finger and looked at Rei and Seria.

Anyway, the meeting took place, and soon Giuseppin’s meal was also placed on the table.

Giuseppin thanked Seria and started eating.

The meal had to be awkward, but Giusepin opened his mouth to Ray at the end of the conflict.

“gray?”

“yes?”

“Why did you propose to have dinner with me…?”

“just?”

“Uh… Maybe for another purpose…”

“…”

Rei squeezed her brow, which was frowned upon.

What kind of unusual thing is it that you suggested that you share a meal after meeting your classmates by chance?

Ray looked at Giuseppin, who was wiggling her fingers hard, and said again and again.

“Busepin, I’m not really interested in whether your name is Giusepin or Beusepin.”

“…my name is Giusepin.”

“Yeah, Giuseppin. I was just suggesting it without much thought since we met by chance. We’ll see each other often in the future, so there’s nothing wrong with having a meal together, right?”

“My nephew is nice.”

Suddenly, Seria intervened and said something, and Rey’s neck tightened a bit.

“…So, Giuseppin, I mean, don’t get me wrong. It has no other purpose.”

“Well, is that so…”

Giusepin realized that he had exaggerated the meaning of Rey’s actions, and belatedly dyed his face red.

Seeing Giuseppin drinking cold water for no reason, Rei felt that Giuseppin was so… in many ways, her hair was clean.

When expressed in a good way, he was pure and clear. In a bad way, he was naive without knowing the world.

Ray asked openly.

“Why are you being so naive?”

“I was often told that I was naive.”

When Giuseppin admitted frankly, Ray burst into laughter.

Ray shook her head a few times, not wanting to keep the atmosphere awkward, so she began to actively lead the conversation.

Then, the tension was relieved, and Giuseppin talked for a moment about his condition, but there was no such thing as a very special story.

If I had to pick out a specific thing, it was about the fact that my parents blew up their fortune while in business and sat in debt.

Giusepin’s parents were also in debt at home, so they had to raise money somehow to avoid being kicked out of the family.

However, although the repayment period was extended generously, the debt had to be paid off in the long run.

Maybe because of that, Juicepin didn’t seem to be able to use it comfortably even for the maintenance cost.

Of course, it was a useless worry to Ray.

If they achieved good grades in Aegis, the cadets’ minor problems were actively resolved by the imperial family.

“If you do well in Aegis, the debt problem will be resolved on your own, right?”

“Is that so…”

Giusepin, whose heart was lightened by Ray’s words, relaxed his expression.

Rei shook her head as she looked at Giuseppin whose mood changed quickly.

“And it’s not okay to say things that could be weak in front of others.”

“…!”

Giusephine hardened and regretted belatedly that she made fun of her mouth lightly.

Ray wondered if the guy who was screwing a screw in front of him could graduate from Aegis safely and take his place.

*

After going out, Johanna stopped by a perfume shop.

Darren also stopped by the store with Johanna, and even though the door was left open, a sweet smell wafted through the store.

The store owner confirmed the Aegis uniforms Johana and Darren wore and treated them very kindly.

Johanna listed about five perfumes recommended by the owner, and told Darren.

“Try it once and pick a good one.”

Darren did as he was told.

Each of the five expensive perfumes used by the aristocracy had distinct characteristics, and it was difficult for Darren to say which one was the best.

Darren scratched his head and asked Johanna.

“I think all good things are good… The feeling your sister wants? Is there any kind of perfume that you want? If you explain that, I will refer to it and choose it.”

Johanna frowned after hearing Darren’s words and continuing to ponder.

Yohana, who had been in conflict for a long time, stuttered and stuttered.

“Ka, Karen…”

“…yes?”

“It smells like Karen’s…”

“…”

Darren looked at Yohana with a pitiful expression on his face.

Johanna was immediately furious.

“Oh, why! Why are you looking at me like that?!”

“No, that, sister…”

Darren muttered his words as he became so miserable.

As Johana continued to be angry at Darren’s reaction, she eventually chose a perfume by forcing herself to remember the body scent she had felt when she approached Karen before.

After Darren picked out a few perfumes, Johanna was satisfied, and after receiving the perfume, she sprayed it on the nape of her neck a few times.

Rey would occasionally bury her face in Karen’s neck.

Darren held onto the back of his nose tightly, hoping that Yohana might spray perfume on the nape of his neck because of the memories of that time.

Johanna, who became uncomfortable for nothing, kicked Darren’s leg weakly.

Anyway, Yohana returned to Aegis after having dinner after happily shopping for elegance.

However, on the way to the main gate of Aegis, several other 3rd grade cadets were lying on their stomachs, their heads banged on the ground.

Yohana blinked because she wondered why they were going somewhere, but the 2nd grade cadets who were waiting at the front door approached.

“Suck…!”

A second-class cadet wrinkled his nose and opened his eyes wide.

“Fragrance~ Soo~? 3rd grade cadets are already spraying perfume-??!!”

Johanna had a gut feeling that she had to get her head banged too.

Recalling that, the 2nd grade cadets had told me that there were restrictions on the 3rd grade cadets from arbitrarily wearing external decorations.

After begging for forgiveness for Johana and Darren, who was bound by responsibility in solidarity with Johana, as they were about to bang their heads, the eyes of the second-class cadets turned to the front door at the same time.

Rey, who had gone out with Seria, was entering through the front door alone.

And on Rey’s chest, a ridiculously large brooch was shining brightly.

A second-class cadet pointed at Rey’s brooch and shouted.

“Hey you bastard!!!!!”

“?”

Ray put a question mark above his head, and Darren began to watch the situation with great interest .
