The Only Male Student in the Academy - The Only Male Student in the Academy chapter 105

105. End of Summer Vacation (4)

The play is over.

“How was it?”

Ariel asked without a subject.

… It must have been that the content of the play was interesting.

“That, that’s…”

I can’t say that she couldn’t concentrate on the play because she was peeping at Ariel’s profile halfway through.

… But she was even less confident to lie.

“Yeah, I think it was okay… W, the content of the play is uh, difficult, so I’m not sure…”

I evaded it somehow, as long as it wasn’t a lie.

Ariel nods at her when she hears that.

“It was definitely like that. I think it was a story that was hard to see.”

“Huh…?”

At Ariel’s words, Marie inadvertently tilted her head.

“That, eh, wasn’t Ariel really, really fun…?”

“Fun? Hmm… It’s far from my taste, but I think it was a good move.”

“Uh…. Uh, you watched so much, jae, I thought you were having fun….”

“I was more interested in the directing than the content. Some of the directing was quite interesting.”

Starting with a boy appearing out of the dark and kicking her girl, Ariel tells the story of her performance.

She used the ice elemental to create steam and make my smoke.

She made a light source using a flash elemental and directed my moon.

His tone is calm.

His voice never sounded like he was saying anything interesting.

But in Marie’s eyes, Ariel seemed somehow happy.

‘Come to think of it….’

Come to think of it, Ariel drew her own face once.

She still remembers how well Ariel drew her.

Maybe she likes Ariel, she likes art.

“By the way, how long will she follow?”

Ariel stopped her words midway through and looked behind her with a sigh.

She said there is one person who is following quietly.

It is Erea Blainclet.

“Ariel, will you be my sister?”

And then she’s like she can’t help but say that….

I kept repeating the same question like a parrot.

“Don’t answer a question with a question. It wasn’t even answered in the first place.”

“Hmm… I don’t know.”

“Why does it stay today when it normally goes back quickly?”

Ariel said with her face looking somewhat tired.

… It’s not that I don’t understand. In the meantime, she saw what kind of person Er A was by Ariel’s side.

Er A narrowed her eyes as if thinking deeply.

It was an unexpected expression.

Er Ah always had the impression that she was unobstructed, but I never thought she would make that kind of expression.

“Because Ariel’s mood was quite different today…?”

“What?”

“You’re using short words.”

“So?”

“It’s different than usual, so I thought there would be more possibilities today.”

“…….”

It took me a while to understand what you meant.

Simply put, Ariel reacted more sensitively to Erea than usual.

Ariel was more irritable than usual, She

She couldn’t stand the irritation and eventually gave up her honorifics.

Since Ariel’s response is different from usual,

Erra said that she was seeing it as an opportunity rather than a story.

‘I know what you mean, but….’

She sees it as an opportunity…. Looking at it this way, it’s an understandable way of thinking.

However, that is the logic of being an ‘adventurer’.

Human to human…… I’m more annoyed and angry than usual, so isn’t it normal that I have to step back at this point…… ?

“Ariel, be my sister.”

Erua uttered those words again, no matter how many times.

The action is always the same. I’m just asking you to be my little brother.

However, the fact that she is one grade above, that she is a disciple of the adventure king, that she is called the strongest in her academy, everything that includes her is burdensome.

She still doesn’t notice it.

Ariel let out her sigh.

“That, stop it, B, Blainkleet senior…”

Marie stepped forward.

It was something she wouldn’t normally do.

“Marie?”

“That, eh, Ariel is in trouble… B, since Blainkleet-senpai keeps talking to Ariel…, Eh, there are curse words about Ariel…”

“……?”

At Mari’s words, Erua tilted her head. It seems she didn’t know either.

“Eh, Ariel… B. Didn’t she flirt with Blainclette senior…?

“Really?”

“That, yes…! That, so… That, I’d like you to stop… Eh, Ariel’s performance, the ratings keep getting worse…”

That wasn’t exactly a lie.

If so, is it true? Actually, she was a little vague.

-“Era-nim is talking to the madman?”

-“What is it?”

-“Did the madman do something else?”

It wasn’t to the point of being a bad rumor yet. I guess it’s the stage where everyone starts to have doubts.

Anyway, she talked to her at all times, and there were quite a few students who saw it.

Fortunately, I was still on vacation.

Since not many students have returned to the academy yet, the speed at which rumors form and spread is slow.

So it was fine at this stage.

But if I dragged it out a little longer, Ariel’s evaluation would surely go down.

Marie hated that.

“I see. Sorry.”

Er Rea bowed her head obediently.

But there is almost no change in his expression, so I can’t tell if he’s really sorry or not.

“I just wanted you to know. I have no intention of becoming your younger brother, so please stop coming to me from now on.”

“But, I have no intention of giving up.”

“I’m going crazy… Are you saying that even after hearing it just now?”

“Yes. I’ll come up with a way so that there are no bad rumors.”

After saying that, Erre moved her feet.

She wanted to leave without saying goodbye again, but she glanced this way.

“Ariel and Marie. I’ll see you next time.”

At the same time as he said that, Erea’s figure disappeared.

As if it never existed in the first place.

After Erea left, Marie and Ariel left the theater and walked the streets of Pwaliver.

It wasn’t because there was a destination, but I was looking around with a feeling close to sightseeing.

“Infrastructure is good. You can find almost everything in this city.”

“This, infra…?”

When she inadvertently asks for a word she’s never heard of, Ariel makes a face as if she’s mistaken her words.

Ariel scratched her chin, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“It means that the city’s living and business infrastructure is well established. There are also various shops.”

“That’s right…”

“Is there a place you want to go to? Or something you want to buy.”

“Uh, no, there’s nothing…”

She just wanted to go out with Ariel and the two of them, but she hadn’t thought about it from Marie’s point of view. It was Ariel who suggested that she come to Powal River.

“Then let’s go to the shopping district.”

Ariel said that, and Marie nodded her head at it.

There were various types of stores. There were places that sold clothes, places that sold food, places that sold magic tools, and even places that sold animals.

A paradise for shops… , Is the expression strange?

Marie was a bit overwhelmed by the scenery she was seeing for the first time, and she followed Ariel around.

“Marie, are you interested in anything?”

“That, well… I, I don’t know a place like this…”

“If there’s something you like, tell me. I’ll buy you one.”

“Eh?!”

Ariel’s sudden words startled Marie.

“It’s okay…! It’s not that I don’t want anything like that…”

“No. At this point, I think that repaying you is the duty of a human being.”

Ariel slowed down.

“Actually, I decided to reward Claire when she returns to the academy. It would be fair to reward you as well.”

“K-Miss Claire… That, eh, saved Ariel’s life…”

“Because you helped me a lot in normal times. Besides, you kicked out Erea Blainclet.”

“…….”

“Look over there, Marie. There’s a general store over there. Are you interested in jewelry or something?”

Saying that, Ariel pointed to the grocery store. I really felt like I was going to buy something.

Marie…… A little embarrassed, but a little excited.

Even so, she felt burdened.

She feels like receiving something of her gift from Ariel…… There is.

But if there was something she wanted specifically, it wasn’t like that.

She thinks she wears pretty clothes in front of Ariel, but she doesn’t know which clothes are good or bad. She

From noble mtl dot com

She thinks that she wants to be beautiful in front of Ariel, but she doesn’t know which cosmetics are good.

She wants to be helpful in front of Ariel, but she doesn’t know which magic tools are good.

Full of unknowns.

Therefore, although there are desires, none of them are specific.

‘I see….’

She just wanted to make herself look good to Ariel.

She wants Ariel to live a bachelor life without being misunderstood more, and she wants Ariel to live a more comfortable life.

She’s there and she thinks she’ll be fine if she helps herself.

More than Miss Claire.

“……Really, can I ask for anything?”
