How to Survive at the Academy-Chapter 254

[Gaiden] Windflower (3)

I must have lived a pretty intense life when I was young. It was the first impression of Glems, the village chief of Torren.

In addition to his gray-brown long hair, his graying beard and eyebrows are the image of a man who has already reached his twilight after his heyday.

But those eyes are still as bright and lively as they are. I don’t know how old they are, but they seem to be saying that they don’t want to die in the next ten years.

There are people whose dignity flows on their own without trying to show off or show off.

Glems representing the village was such a person. He is a moderately heavy, moderately hot-tempered elder in the village who is respected by the people.

“Thank you for your hard work to find us. I have prepared a small accommodation near the town hall, but I’m sorry that it won’t be able to fit the authority of the master as it is a small village on the outskirts of the pastoral area.”

From the perspective of the town of Torren, it must have been a big event for a duke to come to such a periphery.

Since the carriage, which was already riding alongside Yenika, entered the village, people have been gathering and watching.

Most of them were full-bodied, and although occasionally small children and young people were seen, they all seemed to be busy working on the ranch.

Still, I couldn’t overcome my curiosity when I heard that a nobleman was appearing, so I used to sit around the square to see what I was doing…

“Thank you”

I replied briefly and glanced over the town.

Shopping malls are formed around a small square. However, it is too small to be called a shopping street.

In a rural village like this, one person can do multiple jobs.

There seems to be one all-purpose vendor selling all kinds of things under the name of ‘General Store’, one that sells groceries and one restaurant, and the town hall seems to handle all of the rest, and most of the rest are filled with ranches and farmhouses. There is a car.

The scenery is beautiful. Everywhere you look, it is a work of art. It feels reminiscent of the pastures that stretched along the ridges of the Alps and Andes.

The clear sky contrasts well with the greenery, so even if you just sit anywhere and stare blankly, it feels like all the old congestion in your heart is being washed away.

“Are you going to stay here, Ed? I think I’ll probably go home and unpack first.”

“Probably. There’s nothing urgent, so go slowly.”

Jenica packed her things from the wagon and came down. And as she did, she sat crawling all over the place, squinting at the townsfolk, and as she procrastinated, she looked.

“Grandpa Glems. How have you been? Are you okay with back pain?”

When Yenika greeted the village chief warmly, for a moment, the village chief Glems hesitated to answer, as if he was in trouble.

Yenika was momentarily taken aback by the village chief’s refusal to greet him as usual.

Looking at the situation, I felt like I had to say something here.

“You can do it as usual.”

I wonder if Mayor Glems has a tendency to be very strict with etiquette… He just took a look at me.

Yenika, well, you have the title of baron, but it doesn’t seem like you’re demanding strict respect from your hometown. She rather seems to be aware of the fact that she improves Yenica’s sexuality and that she’ll suffer more if she behaves that way.

But, in front of me, who holds the title of duke, it is another matter.

It is not polite to talk comfortably in front of a person who holds the title of baron in front of a person who holds the title of baron in a different dimension.

On the contrary, it feels like the genealogy is twisted because Yenica treats Glems with respect. It’s because Yenica treats me comfortably.

That’s why, in the end, I’m the tallest person in a situation where I have to tell them to put me at ease.

After seeing this, you will eventually become aware of what Yenica is among the people of this village.

“It’s not a public place, and they come all the way to the outskirts and don’t follow every detail.”

“Master Ed is merciful. This is the first time in my life that a nobleman gives such respect.”

Glems bowed his head slightly, then spoke to Yenika.

“Thanks for your concern, Yenika.”

Then he talks with a nonchalant expression.

“But, wouldn’t it be okay if we didn’t share the same room? It’s been a while.”

*When I entered the room, this and that were all prepared for two people.

Initially, the room itself is a double room. There are two beds and two simple necessities.

[I think I can see why Yenica became shy… ]

Merylda, who was sitting on the other side of the bed, waving her feet in the air, was smiling broadly.

I unpacked my luggage and arranged it properly, then took off the cloak or coat that was bothering me and put it back together.

[ I just walked around the wagon in moderation and heard gossip, but even after hearing it with my own ears, I couldn’t put it in my mouth. ]

Jenica blushed, waving her arms at the village chief’s words, and ran back to her hometown.

Of course, the villagers thought that Yenica and I would sleep in the same room.

[ I was kicked by Yenika. ]

Merylda said so with a grin.

She looks at me secretly with a playful expression, then turns her head as if it’s no fun, and then buries herself in an empty bed.

You’re yelling at Yenica or something, but Merylda knows better than anyone else.

[ … ]

Merylda sighed as she lay flat on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a moment.

[ I probably can’t live without you. ]

“I know.”

[ …wow, that’s garbage… ]

I can’t feel the sincerity because it’s a word of contempt that I spit out as if tossed. Merylda, who was smirk in the first place, doesn’t always say things straight-forward.

I took off my shirt and tossed it on top of my suitcase to change. Her wounded body is exposed, but Merylda looks down at her as she lies on her bed, and she turns her body around as if nothing happened.

[ Yenica knows. That your sister is actively taking advantage of the fact that your partner’s seat is vacant politically. ]

I sat on my bed as it was.

Merylda let out a sigh in the bed across from her, then quickly got her torso up.

[ Yenica isn’t stupid either. Just hearing the information from the Baron, you know how much your location affects the political landscape of the Chloel Empire. ]

[ I still want to be by your side. ]

I know what Merylda wants to say.

Recognizing the rumors circulating in Torren Village, they did not actively explain anything else.

The fact that Yenica apologised with a dying expression made me wonder if it was causing trouble to the Duke of Roth Taylor, who were using the fact that my partner’s seat was vacant politically.

However, Yenika didn’t bother explaining. The reason is obvious.

[ It must be scary to check. In the end, Ed Nee thinks that Yenika will be pushed out because of the difference in position and status. So I guess I won’t be able to take the last step. ]

The movement that had been vigorously swinging her feet also stopped. Merylda often puts her playful face away, and she sometimes becomes quite serious.

[ You know his personality. I am a blessed person just by being in this position right now. It’s okay to just be by your side. I’ll just think like that and live happily in the present. as it has been so far. But I wish I didn’t. ]

“Does this sudden statement… have anything to do with the death of Tyr’kallax…? I was telling you not to study Tir’kallax.”

Merylda made a squeaky sound as if she had been stabbed.

The remains of the highest wind spirit, Tyr’kallax.

At one point, Merylda said that she would give the location directly and that she would wait.

I think he was very cooperative at the time, but lately he’s been making unfavorable expressions on his face.

[ Finding the remains is not a job. However, I was told not to study in detail how the spirit Tir’kallax died and returned to nature. In fact, as long as you have the remains of a spirit, training in spirit art is easy. ]

“My position at that time and my position now are completely different. I’m a person who came to conduct research under a bachelor’s degree. now.”

[ That’s why I hesitated. ]

The high-ranking wind spirit, who was smirked, finally erased her laughter and spoke in a low voice.

[ Tyr’kallax loved humans. ]

Perhaps because the travel time was too long, the sun was already setting outside the window.

With the red sky, and among the long shadows, Merylda continued the story while lying down.

[ It also loved this Pulan, nothing but farmhouse girl. ]

“Looking at your expression, it seems that the ending was not good.”

[ Yes. It’s obvious, but it’s quite dangerous for two beings who live in different time zones to communicate more than necessary… ]

I remember seeing Merylda one day walking on the lake in the North Forest and looking up at the night sky blankly.

If you looked at the starry sky in your eyes, you would understand why this wind spirit always looked up at the sky.

The only things that do not change are the stars and the moon in the high sky.

Everything on earth fades with time and rises again over and over again.

[ I made a love I shouldn’t have done. And, after the girl’s death, she couldn’t overcome her loneliness and ended her own life. ]

[ That’s Tyr’kallax’s death. ]

I made a love that I shouldn’t have done.

For those living near eternal life, loneliness is a disease that leads to death.

The high spirits who endured the long years had to come up with their own way to deal with the deadly disease.

It must have been the same with Tir’kallax, the highest spirit.

What was the circumstance that had to break the heart of even the highest-ranking spirit who had gone through everything before and after?

[ Just because we manifest in human form, don’t mistake us for being human. ]

“I know that much. It is nothing more than a mimicry that manifests itself after imitating the person who was most special in the first place.”

[ Yes. There are many laws in the world that are impossible to establish than you think. There are many moving stories in fairy tales about overcoming the forbidden wall and falling in love with each other, but now, Yenica knows herself well. ]

There is no Romeo and Juliet in the world.

[ The reality is colder than you think, and you are not like the protagonist in a fairy tale. Yenika herself knows it well. ]

Merylda put on a deep-water look for nothing.

This wind spirit is praying for Yenika’s happiness more than anyone else. However, it is not that you cannot understand my position as well… I must be struggling between them.

[ Tyr’kallax eventually died a tragic death. Because he made an unacceptable love. ]

[ I was a little worried about what Yenika would think after confirming the truth. ]

Now I’m confiding in my heart.

Merylda’s slightly uncooperative behavior was ultimately due to her concern for Jenica’s heart.

[ Well, Ed, I won’t be too demanding of you. The Roth Taylor family’s prestige has risen a lot, but it’s not surprising that it’s overturned at any time. That’s what I understand too. But… If it’s like this, I feel so pitiful for Yenica. ]

You’ll have to face it eventually. What do I think of Yenica Palerover?

Are you looking at her rationally? Thinking of starting her home with her, welcome her as her companion?

“Why am I being so vague, don’t you fully understand?”

Yes, just because you say everything you want to say doesn’t mean you can do it. I’ve said it so proudly.

Actually, if Yenicka wants it, she’s okay with putting aside the political gains of leaving my partner’s seat vacant.

Yenica Palerover is a good person. She doesn’t lack anything to be welcomed as a companion, and she will devote herself to living for me until the day she dies. I can’t deny the fact that I also have a great romantic interest in Jenica like that.

However, Yenika understands each and every word of the political truth that the entire Duke of Roth Taylor must give up in order to welcome one Yenika as a companion, and how far-fetched it is.

Yenika Palerover is a girl who has been broken down by the burden of love and favor from others.

If she pushes forward ignoring all the background situations like this, she will live with that feeling of debt for the rest of her life.

This is a human named Yenika Palerover. She never goes to waste when someone has given or sacrificed something for her.

Is the relationship established on the debt consciousness really meaningful? I have to live under pressure for the rest of my life, and even as the daughter of the Duke of Roth Taylor, I will have to go on the bloody political front. Yenica Palerover, an innocent girl who’s been living in the countryside all her life.

Will it make her life happy or rather unhappy?

[ I knew you would say that. ]

Merylda was lost in thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled again, as if she was serious.

[ Kahaha. After all, you’re just worried about Yenika, aren’t you? Rather, I feel at ease. ]

Isn’t this a situation where we should be more concerned? I don’t think Yenika’s life will be so smooth when she’s connected with a human like me.”

[ I think it’s rather good. You know, Ed. From my point of view, I think it’s just something you have to put your mind to. If this doesn’t work, isn’t it something you’ll have to sacrifice after making up your own mind? ]

“Are you ready? what’s your resolve? What is the sacrifice?”

Merylda chuckled and laughed, then spoke in a playful voice.

[ Be prepared to be trash. ]

What do you mean by that again? I was about to ask.

It was because Merylda smiled with her lips raised as if intrigued, and I had a sense of what that meant to some extent.

I was staring with half-moon eyes, but Merylda was just laughing at what’s so good.

*“That… hello, Ed.”

It had been an hour or so since Yenica came to her room with her luggage.

Yenika said she was going to go home and unpack her luggage, but for some reason, she came to my dorm with her luggage.

“I got kicked out of my house…”

“…what?”

I couldn’t help but tilt my head when I saw Yenika’s dazed face through the crack in the open door.

In terms of time now, the moon was already in the middle of the sky, and it was getting to the ambitious time.

I wondered if it would make sense to kick a mysterious woman out of the house at a time like this…

“Why did you prepare a dormitory for two people, but my mom… kicked me out…”

Saila Palerover… I can’t help but stick my tongue out at that determined woman’s determination.

“You’re too much… You closed the door and took out all the bed sheets, what’s the point… You told me not to think about it here today…”

“So, I thought I’d be indebted to someone I know or to a friend’s house… But even so, rumors have spread like that… It’s strange to go to someone else’s house and be indebted…”

Even so, Yenica Palerover is a rare genius spiritist and mistress of the Palerover Baron.

I wiped my eyes when I saw that he was so dazed that his identity was disrespectful. freёweɓnovel.com

“Okay, come in… Let’s sleep together…”

Since I can’t do a doormat here, I put Yenika in the room for now.

As soon as Yenica entered the room, she put her bag full of luggage in the corner.

I took the opportunity to organize the books on the spirit sciences spread out on the small table, and sat down on the bed.

Yenika crawled in and snuggled into the bed opposite her, her head bowed and blushing.

“Things have become… like this…”

At night time, only the sound of grasshoppers can be heard outside the window.

In the dormitory’s room, where there was only one light source, the shadows were dancing along with the softly flickering candle.

“I’m sorry you seem to be bothering you so much… Ed… Lately, I’ve been struggling with this and that…”

“You don’t have to worry so much. As I always say, there are many things I owe you, so you don’t have to feel too burdened. First of all, I must have sweated a bit from walking around all day…”

I didn’t mean to say it that much, but I said it as naturally as possible.

“Wash, first.”

“Did I say something strange?”

“No! no! Not at all! Talk to me!”

Yenica looked up quickly and, saying she knew, quickly packed her bags and headed towards the bathroom.

After Yenika left, I sat on the bed alone, sighing and wiping my lips.

And then… I slowly lowered my head and fell into deep thought.

Merylda’s words shimmer.

I am prepared to be trash.

Resolve to become garbage ………………………….< /p>
