The Only Male Student in the Academy - The Only Male Student in the Academy chapter 102

102. End of Summer Vacation (1)

[You’re not trying to eat it, Prince Ariel, are you?

Negotiating in front of scary seniors for our Prince Ariel.

To intimidate accomplices.

In addition, you will take Joshua and his gang, who tried to harm me, all the way to Beltark and negotiate with the student president there?

Well, Dad keeps asking me when he’ll be home.

Ariel should thank me for spending her precious vacation time on Ariel, right?

Just like paying a negotiator.

If Ariel gave me a proper reward, wouldn’t she be very pretty?

What rewards can I expect? My employer.

See you again in the new semester.]

“…….”

The letter ended with that.

Excited about having an unexpected item.

However, the word reward cools her down.

It really feels like the ups and downs of emotions are moving like a roller coaster.

I’m confused as to which rhythm to go with.

Leaving all that aside.

‘…… That’s right.’

It’s an undeniable fact that you’re exploiting Claire, so you have to do something…… It is the duty of a human being.

But why do you hate it so much… ?

Well, it must be because Claire must be asking for something other than money.

Clearly, not material…… It will ask for something spiritual.

How perverted that would be.

If you recall the steps you have taken so far, and guess what Claire will ask for next based on that…… I’m already losing my mind.

“Eh, Ariel…? Your expression is dark. What, what’s wrong…?”

“……It’s nothing.”

Answering Mari’s question with a sigh, I closed the letter.

About Claire…… It won’t be too late to think about it during the new semester.

To be honest, I think I gave up halfway….

I guess I’ve gotten used to Claire…….

Worst case, you just have to hang out with Claire’s perverts…… I am confident that I am.

I know how dangerous that is, but….

I’ve already seen Claire’s naked body a few times,

I also went through Claire’s eccentricities many times….

Anyway, that’s what he’s doing, as long as he comes into my room, takes off his clothes, and does perverted things….

Isn’t there a problem if it’s only in the eyes of others…… I have the confidence to think that.

… I think I’ve gotten too used to Claire.

… He realizes all over again how frightening it is to get used to.

‘I don’t know….’

It will work somehow.

Thinking not to think too deeply, I stuffed the folded letter into my pocket.

Leaving the County of Findelnerca, which I was quite used to.

That fact made Marie feel like she didn’t know.

Since I stayed for quite a long time, I can say that I was kind of attached to it.

Living in a large mansion twice as large as Count Ruhelip’s house was quite fresh, and I think the people of Count Findel Nerca were kind.

The little owner, senior Benit, did not discriminate against Ariel, and Miss Nina was also blunt, but she helped out in many ways without saying anything. The other maids were all good people too.

Although I think the environment itself was quite good.

‘On the floating island…… It’s safe, right?’

The whole story of the incident was roughly heard from Miss Ariel and Claire.

The shock…… I did get it

At Philea Academy, the Student Council, Leadership Club, and Student Knights are groups that only the elite can enter.

The fact that those people tried to murder Ariel…… Would you say it was unexpected?

I was also angry.

Unlike Miss Claire, I felt sorry for not being able to help.

…… After all, that’s what nobles are all about, he said, getting fed up with it.

Now that Ariel is back alive, we’ll get over it for now.

If Ariel hadn’t returned safely…….

“…….”

Marie shook her head.

“Student Ruhelif? Is there something wrong?”

“Ah, it’s nothing…!”

After being lost in thought for a while, Marie regained her senses.

Currently, Marie is in quarantine.

People who come from outside the floating island must pass through the quarantine station at least once, and must undergo various tests here.

It is largely divided into a carry-on item inspection and a physical condition inspection, and among these, the carry-on item inspection was all completed thanks to Miss Nina sending her luggage.

So all I have to do is check the physical condition, but this takes quite a bit of time.

Originally, the inspection procedure was not that complicated, but due to the recent terrorist incident in Elpis Bamir, vigilance has been strengthened.

Could it be that monsters are pretending to be humans like Elpis Bamir?

Or maybe she’s infected with a monster or a virus.

Especially in the case of Marie, she was once infected with a phoenix.

Because the phoenix was still in her body…… , She had to make more careful examinations than others.

“The number is slightly higher than last time.”

“Huh?!”

Marie was startled by the quarantine doctor’s words.

Then, as if she was trying to reassure Marie, the doctor smiled benevolently.

“Don’t worry too much. As long as you take your medicine, you’ll have no problems.”

“That’s right…”

“Yes. Did anything bad happen recently? The infection level goes up and down according to Miss Ruhelif’s mental strength.”

“…….”

If it’s bad…… I think Ariel was captured.

She was quite shocked when the boss room was full of diving bats…… Come to think of it, there were many things.

But the most memorable thing.

‘…… Flame.’

The flame from burning the demon tree still lingers in her memory.

At that time, she was acting independently of Ariel, so I don’t know about Ariel…… When the tree burned, she honestly thought she would choke to death.

What is fireworks? … For me, it is the trauma itself.

“That, that… It might be because the dungeon was so, so hard…”

She knows she can’t lie, so she narrowly manages to say something that isn’t a lie.

The doctor nodded her head without question.

“I’ve heard about the dungeon in County of Findelnerca. I heard that our students are doing a good job.”

“Ah, that…, Uh, yes…”

“Ruhelif is still a freshman, so he must have worked hard. Since vacation is still about two weeks away, how about doing something fun during the remaining period?”

“Funny thing….”

“Where are you going to play?”

-“How about going to see a play at the theater?”

At that moment, Ariel’s voice revived in my ears.

Well, come to think of it, she decided to go play….

‘…… Will Ariel remember?’

It was right before the raid that we talked about it.

After that, raids were conducted, diving bats appeared, and it is said that he had a fight with Joshua, …… Because there was post-processing.

Maybe I forgot because I was so busy…… I’m worried.

“This is the end of the inspection, Ruhelif student. Enjoy the rest of your vacation.”

The infection level has risen. Marie came out of quarantine with her own worries separate from him.

Upon leaving the quarantine station, there are two people who have already completed the examination.

One is Ariel.

Ariel started the test at the same time, but Ariel finished it early because unlike herself, she was not infected with the phoenix, so she was waiting for herself.

Another person also started testing at the same time.

“Ariel, I want you to be her sister.”

A familiar face…… To say the least, Mari hadn’t met her very often.

She said that she met once when she was raiding a dungeon with underground water,

She’s disguised as Maurice Aiva, so it seems she was with her during the raid…… She never had a good conversation,

Although she ran into Ariel after all the events…… She also never talked to her.

She’s like the idol of the academy, so it’s not like Mari doesn’t know about her either…… Come to think of it, she never exchanged words with her.

But that’s not the only thing that happens to Marie.

Probably most of her students have never had a conversation with her ── Er à Blaine Cleat.

So…… The scene where Ariel and her stood face to face was odd in some ways.

“I said no, but…”

“I was wondering if I might have changed my mind.”

“People’s minds don’t change that easily.”

“I see.”

Er Ar nodded her head a couple of times.

Then time passes.

1 Second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds…….

About 10 seconds passed.

“Ariel.”

“I was just saying that people’s minds don’t change that easily.”

“Just in case.”

“Haa…”

Ariel put on a look that made her sigh, She

She found herself and opened her eyes wide.

“Marie, is the test over?”

“Uh, uh, uh…”

“Then let’s go.”

Ariel gestured to her with a somewhat welcome look on her face.

She thinks it’s not something she hates, but…….

“B, go with Blainclette-senpai, were you together…?”

“…Yes. Unintentionally.”

As she said that, Ariel’s face showed her fatigue…. She seemed to have been teased by Er A the whole time she was examining herself.

Why is she here…… Actually, there is nothing to explain at length.

Because Erea also left the County of Findelnerca and returned to the Floating Island.

-“I want to go back too.”

About 30 minutes ago, she said that right away when she saw Ariel about to go back.

Maybe that’s why we ended up coming back together….

“The party members are here, so we’ll leave. Then.”

“Wait, Ariel. Being my little sister…?”

“I said no. Let’s go, Marie.”

“Ugh, yes…”

Ariel gestured as if to go quickly. She hurriedly stretched out her steps, and Marie hurriedly followed her.

Again and again. The sound of her footsteps resonated as if overlapping.

Among the sound of multiple footsteps…… She even feels the footsteps of those walking behind her.

Era follows as if it were natural.

“Whoa…”

Ariel sighed again. It must be because of Era.

If you’re lucky…… Should Erre just follow her?

She’s not talking to Ariel. She just walks in silence.

She’s on her way to the dormitory anyway, so it’s just the same direction…… I would like to think that she is, but Marie also knows that maybe she is not like that.

“Uh, Ariel… Why, B, Blainclette-senpai… Eh, does Ariel want to have a relationship…?”

An expressionless expression that seems to have no interest in everything in the world…. Even so, she is strangely obsessed with Ariel.

She thinks there must be a reason for that.

“……I really want to know the reason.”

Said Ariel in a weary voice.

Yes… , Well Ariel doesn’t know….

On the other hand, I wonder if there really is anyone in this world who understands Erua…….

“That, uh, what are you going to do… I-I think you’ll get attention if it continues like this…”

Concerned Marie said so.

It’s not a day or two that Ariel gets misunderstood…… She could easily imagine, from her experience so far, that she was headed in a bad direction.

Especially Erea…… Should I say that she doesn’t pay too much attention to the gazes around her?

Despite the fact that Marie was by Ariel’s side the whole time.

Errea never showed any sign of caring about her Marie.

‘… She’s like a prisoner.’

She seems to be stuck in her own world…. Aside from a simple metaphor, it seems to be that way in reality.

As for whether she likes it or not…… Honestly i feel bad

While she pays no attention to others, she doesn’t like to inconvenience Ariel.

Even so, she is no different from the academy’s idol,

-“Why is Erea talking to the duke’s idiot?”

-“What did you like about that man…”

-“I don’t understand.”

From noble mtl dot com

-“I feel bad…”

-“Isn’t that man playing tricks? Like he seduced Claire.”

…… If left as it is, rumors like this will surely spread.

Worst of all…… Even if that kind of rumor spreads, although the point is that she wouldn’t mind a millimeter.

“I know… I’ll have to do something sooner or later.”

Ariel said so.

…… Well, the one who feels the most is Ariel, who is her party.

Ariel has been through a lot of terrible things…….

“Rather than that, she came back to Floating Island, and I’m thinking of going to see a play soon.”

“Huh?”

Maybe she wanted to turn it into a fun topic.

Ariel casually changed the subject of the conversation, but her words came out of her mouth abruptly, which inadvertently surprised her Marie.

Seeing her surprised Marie, Ariel makes a puzzled expression.

“You don’t remember. Didn’t you talk about going to play before entering the raid?”

“I-I remember… I thought Ariel forgot…”

“You couldn’t have forgotten. What is that?”

Ariel took her eyes off Marie. She

It’s as if she’s looking straight ahead, but she’s looking into space, not anywhere else.

There is a rare smile on her lips.

“I’m looking forward to it too.”

She was making a funny face.

“Because it’s my first time seeing a play.”
