Chapter 238
TL: Zimmings
It was a good time.
I wondered if I should step forward and take down West’s reputation, but Mina asked West to bring the siblings, and the siblings caused this accident.
‘Thank you, Mina.’
It saves time and takes less effort.
I giggled as I looked at where the scream was coming from.
After that, as I planned, West was imprisoned. Of course, he was in the same room as East.
Perhaps by now, the two brothers were having a deep conversation.
Mina had to be questioned by the professors until night.
The older brother received the money from the person who ordered them to steal the exam paper, but it was not the Francs (the currency of the empire) used in the school, but the Sela (the currency of the Miles Empire).
Mina wouldn’t have the Miles Empire currency, so it was concluded that she was not the culprit.
They could have dug into it further, but when the temple heard the news, they protected Mina, so the investigation was stopped.
This is how things ended.
***
A night after the commotion.
The siblings’ belongings, which were trampled by West and the students who were fleeing, were cleaned up by Mina.
Next to her, the siblings bowed their heads with their hands clasped together.
“M-miss Mina…… I’m sorry.”
Mina asked them quietly.
“… Why did you do it?”
“That, I, uh, so…….”
The sister looked at her brother in tears, as she bit her lips. The brother then say,
“I can’t believe it.”
“You couldn’t believe me for helping you?”
“Miss Mina is here now, but we never know when we will be kicked out after your graduation.”
“It wouldn’t have happened. Even if something like that happened, you’ll be able to start a new life with the salaries you saved up.”
“I had money before. There was a house left behind when my mother passed away, but my relatives took it all. At first they even took care of us. They threw us away because we were annoying. So how do we trust a stranger?”
“You…….”
“We needed someone to protect us. Miss Mina is just helping us out of kindness, but if Miss Mina changes her mind, won’t we be abandoned again? So even if you change your mind, we have someone who can protect us.”
“That’s why you stole it……?”
Mina’s face distorted. Her eyes trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes.
“Go.”
“M-Miss Mina. Please forgive my brother. My brother, just for me……!”
“Go away!!”
“Miss Mina…….”
The younger sister cries and holds her, but she shakes off the child’s hand and runs out of the schoolyard.
“What’s wrong with it? If someone doesn’t help them, they will have to do the wrong thing soon.”
‘Do you think you’re helping these kids by giving them money?”
Her conversation with Leblaine came to mind.
‘Did my good intentions ruin those children?’
If I hadn’t brought them, would those children have committed a greater sin?
She lost strength in her knees, and she was short of breath. Just as she was panting while holding her knee, she heard a voice from around her.
“This time, if I lose to my father and my brothers, I won’t let it go. My gift must be liked by the kid.”
[Then the flowers and cake-]
“Anything other than things that wither or be eaten away! She can think of me when she looks at it. The present that made her think of me as the best—.”
Isaac looked at Mina and frowned.
[Then jewelry-]
“Don’t contact me again.”
After ending the call, he looked at Mina, who was looking at him with tears in her eyes.
“Go away. Why are you looking at me with those eyes?”
“I was here when you passed by me.”
“What?”
“You’re not wearing a tie, so how do I know if you’re a freshman or a senior?”
“Didn’t you know that there are no freshmen in Elysiano Class?”
“Ah… Anyway, I was here first…”
“Still, go away.”
Mina frowned.
“It’s the first time we’ve seen each other, so why do you hate me so much?”
Because you killed my sister. Whether she was deceived by the temple or not, it is true that she killed her, and the kid will suffer because of her in the future.
But I couldn’t tell you why. No matter how much Isaac knew, things like this shouldn’t get into Mina’s ears.
“Just because.”
“Just… because?”
“You’re so shameless. You caused all sorts of incidents and don’t think it’s wrong. Enough?”
“…… That’s right.”
Mina wiped her tears and smiled.
“Isaac. My son, come here.”
It was strange.
Somehow, her face overlapped with a woman’s face.
Her eyes and smile resemble hers.
She was his mother who was stronger than any knight.
‘Am I out of my mind?’
Isaac sighed and shook his head.
Mina looked at Isaac and narrowed her eyes.
“Anyway, aren’t you too harsh…?”
“Say that kind of thing to someone else.”
“But…”
Scratching her temple, she smiled awkwardly and continued.
“Do you happen to know where this is? I was out of my mind and ran aimlessly. It’s dark… Why is this school so big?”
“…… Turn right after the angel statue.”
“Huh?”
“Your dorm is there.”
After saying that, Isaac left first, and Mina quickly followed behind.
Isaac frowned and asked her.
“Why are you following me?”
“Where is the angel statue?”
“To the left of where you were just now!”
“Oh… But why do you keep getting angry? If you kindly let me know, I’d be more grateful.”
Mina crossed her arms and pursed her lips.
“Isyak, bad.”
This time, he was reminded of Leblaine pouting in his childhood.
‘Am I crazy?’
Isaac shook his head once again and said to Mina.
“Now that you know, go away.”
“Anyways, thank you. Let’s greet each other nicely next time we see each other. Okay? You’re very handsome. Do you know that?
“I know.”
Mina burst into laughter and nodded.
Then she waved her hand and left.
“Bye!”
“Isyac is hwandsome! The best! You’re dazzling!”
“As expected, I’m out of my mind.”
When Isaac was in agony. He heard some footsteps.
“What are you talking about?”
“Brother.”
“What do you mean just now?”
“Nevermind, I just thought of something weird. Why are you here?”
“Don’t you check your communication device properly?”
As Henry frowned, Isaac pulled out a communication device from his pocket.
“Did you call me?”
“Yes.”
“What’s going on? You couldn’t wait to see me?”
“Did you check the announcement?”
“Announcement?”
“They decided to replace their exam with another task because the siblings stole the answer sheet before.”
“No way…….”
“Yes, the freshmen will be put into a battlefield.”
In other words, Leblaine would have to go into the battlefield and kill others.
She tried hard to act in an evil way in front of others, but she was actually a soft-hearted girl.
She wouldn’t even dare to kill others.
Isaac’s face hardened.
***
My brothers came to me at dawn.
I sat on the chair while rubbing my eyes in my pajamas.
“It’s not a big deal. The task is only a battle… I knew I would have to do that eventually. I have already prepared for it.”
“Leblaine, the battlefield is a more terrible place than you think.”
“Yes, but… why is Isaac so quiet?”
Isaac, who would normally nagged a lot more than Henry, is quiet. As I blinked, Isaac sighed and grabbed my face with both hands.
“That’s right, this face. Where have I seen this face?”
“…… What?”
When I gave a puzzled look, Isaac smiled and rubbed his face on my cheek.
“Don’t do that! Ugh! Dirty!”
When I shouted back, he giggled and kept purposely doing it. He loved to irritate me like this.
“What? Argh!”
Isaac, who was hit by Henry, fell down, and clicked his tongue.
“It’s not even summer, but there is a fly here, Leblaine.”
“Right?”
As I smiled, Isaac nodded. But Isaac was really strange today.
I removed Isaac’s bangs and touched his forehead.
“Huh? Are you sick?”
“Going into a battlefield, will you be okay?”
“The announcement stated that freshmen will be sent to the battlefield, but isn’t the main task is to search for relics? I could focus on that.”
“Still, there must be some use of swords or magic, kid.”
“I’ll try my best not to kill anyone. Besides, I have my brothers to worry about me. I won’t do anything harmful to myself.”
I smiled, as Isaac and Henry stroked my head.
Just then,
“How long do I have to watch this scene?”
Emeline said as she trembled in irritation.
‘Oh, right. We slept together yesterday.’
The dormitory is divided into floors for men and women, and the stairs are blocked after a certain period of time just in case.
Emeline and I were talking until dawn because of our assignment, and so we slept together in my room.
I smiled awkwardly, as Emeline groaned.
Henry took his hand off my head and said.
“Hold on to this amethyst. Just use it if there’s any dangerous situation.”
The devil of this amethyst, which we found in our mansion belonging to our ancestor, has not yet been called out.
There was no reason to summon it, and when I occasionally heard a voice, my power was drained away, so I just put it away as I also felt that it wasn’t an ordinary devil.
“If it’s a dangerous situation, quickly teleport back here. Do you understand, kid?”
“Yes.”
I nodded my head.
And two weeks later, we left for the battlefield.
Riding on the horse, I put my hand into the pocket beneath the armor that I was wearing. When I grabbed the ametyst in my hand, my vision was blurry, and a sound rang through my mind.
“… You… Neliard…”
“Go, kid, hurry up!”
“Isaac! No!!”
I breathed heavily.
“Leblaine?”
Emeline asked as if I was okay, but I couldn’t answer.
‘What’s this?’
It was a completely different feeling than usual. It’s not like someone is calling me, but it feels like I’m peeking into the future.
Just then,
“It’s an ambush!”
Screams erupted from all around us.
