The blonde girl’s eyes opened awkwardly. Maria, who was sitting the girl on her thighs, said.

“Are you awake?”

The girl blinked for a moment, then nodded.

“Yes… Sorry, I was very surprised, right? Suddenly came… .”

“No. It’s okay.”

“Still… Hey, did you tell the other kids or the teacher? About my condition?”

The girl, Frey, looked up at Maria with a soft feeling on the back of her neck, and there was a clear hint of embarrassment in her voice.

Maria shook her head calmly.

“I was going to do that at first, but my roommate told me not to. The reason you came to me first instead of going straight to the health room or the teacher… Maybe it’s because there’s something they shouldn’t know… .”

“… good job. That’s why I came to see Maria. however… A roommate… ?”

Frey struggled to straighten his back and glanced around the room. It was black outside the window. In other words, it meant that night had already arrived while he had lost consciousness.

Academy students cannot move around at night. The ‘roommate’ Maria mentioned was definitely somewhere in the room.

“Hey… Please lie down now.”

As Frey expected, his roommate was in the room. To be exact, he was lying on his side on the bed. Facing the wall.

Frey was able to recognize her identity right away. I could only see the back, but that was enough.

Because that girl was so famous. Perhaps even more so than the warrior himself.

“… Her Royal Highness.”

Wavy blonde waves. A terrifying presence that dominates the space even though it is just lying around. A being that seems to embody the words dignity and dignity.

The student who was lying down was someone who did not deserve such praise. Albrecht, 3rd princess of the empire. Because it was none other than her.

As soon as Frey checked her, he managed to get up and kneel down on one knee facing Albrecht’s back. It was an attitude faithful to the etiquette of a knight.

“The Lord’s servant, Fray de Siegfried, meets the noble Princess.”

Sigh-.

Albrecht, on the other hand, did not even turn his head. Instead, he slowly raised his hand and waved.

At first glance, it might seem like she was being rude, and in reality, she was being rude, but Frey wasn’t dissatisfied with her. This is because he heard from Maria just a moment ago that it was she who helped him.

“I received great grace. thank you I will definitely repay this favor someday.”

“So.”

The answer that came back was short and dull, but Frey was not discouraged. On the contrary, he smiled.

‘Albrecht… It’s clear that he was an extraordinary person, but in his previous life, he was killed too early by the Succubus Queen’s King Lang. There are some scary aspects, but in this life, I will save it at all costs.’

This was because he was well aware of Albrecht’s unusual temperament. Not putting effort into meaningless things.

Maria, unaware of Frey’s feelings, observed Frey’s feelings after being treated rudely by Albrecht. I was worried inside, wondering what if her feelings were hurt.

“It’s okay, Maria. Oh and… Did you heal my wounds?”

“Ah, yes. You hurt your abdomen so badly… So I infused it with as much divine power as possible.”

“Thank you. Was it very difficult?”

“Oh, no. It’s no problem. This is comfortable for me… !”

While saying those words, Maria glanced at Frey’s abdomen with a quick glance. It was Frey, whose shirt was rolled up to the solar plexus for treatment.

“Luckily, I don’t think there will be any scars… But why on earth were you hurt? You’re okay now, but when I first saw you, you looked like you were going to lose your breath at any moment… .”

“Ugh… Well, you don’t have to worry about that. Even if you don’t know, it won’t cause any harm… .”

“Hmm… All right. If the warrior doesn’t want to confide in me, I should be considerate.”

Even though she might have felt bad about hiding something from herself, Maria didn’t think much of it. Frey was proud of that.

The current Maria, that is, the Maria of the day, was not the ‘old friend’ that Frey knew. She was nothing more than a young and learned schoolgirl, separate from the adults she had returned to through time.

Nevertheless, he is considerate of the other person and does not show even the slightest regret. Frey felt very mature. In reality, it was true that Maria was mentally mature compared to her peers.

“Oh and… Maria, I have a favor to ask you.”

“What?”

“Please don’t tell anyone about today. Even to Maria’s closest person. Yes, can you do it?”

Frey asked with earnest eyes as he held Maria’s hand. The white-haired girl nodded willingly.

“Yes, because I believe in the warrior.”

“Thank you. After all, it’s Maria. and… I dare to ask that Her Majesty the Princess… .”

“If that’s what you want, hero, I’m not really interested in your situation.”

“… ! Thank you!”

Thank goodness. Frey thought after hearing the two students’ answers.

Just a few hours ago, he was walking lonely in pain. But now, I am resting in a cozy room, leaning on my friend who, although a little awkward, has always been a strong supporter.

Even as time passes, or even against time.

A friend was a friend. A truly precious and precious relationship.

Frey smiled from the bottom of his heart at the warmth of that relationship.

*****

The day after I went to the sunspot, beat up a suspicious guy, and had a huge fight with Cheonwoong Stella.

As soon as I woke up, I grabbed my bloated stomach. Aru looks at me with suspicion as I get up from the bed.

“What are you looking at, man.”

Aru, my friend with whom I have spent the longest time in this life.

What a damn friend. No, the word ‘friend’ is a waste. My hunting dog, my pet dog, my mutt. Aru is just like that.

“Does it hurt a lot?”

“Then do you think I’m doing this out of spite?”

“You’re only human.”

“If that person leaves later, you won’t be able to handle it. Even now, if you let your guard down, you’ll lose?”

Shine Stella, what a scary bitch. What kind of bomber is each punch?

It’s not just my stomach that hurts. The arm that allowed repeated hitting also feels numb.

Still, I feel proud. I kept my promise. What did Stella think when she saw the bandage on her chin later? Just imagining that makes me burst into laughter.

It still is. Tsk tsk tsk, I’m looking forward to it like crazy. This is especially true because it is a future that cannot be confirmed.

“Evans, does your head hurt?”

“Why does it look like that?”

“Meow.”

“Originally, when a demon is sick, it feels a bit headachey. How much does it hurt like this? Hey, check this out.”

Sigh-.

She lifted her top, revealing her abdomen, which was stained with blood and bruises. Aru sighed.

“It’s a demon’s body anyway, so if you leave it alone, it will heal in a while, but isn’t it still terrible?”

“Kkiing… .”

Aru, who saw my boat, lowered his head and sauntered over to me. Immediately, she bent down to her waist and placed her face on my stomach. Aru’s tongue flicked my stomach.

“Hey… What are you doing?”

“Byeong, kiing… Eup.”

“Anyway, I guess he’s a mutt.”

Well, isn’t it? Is licking wounds a common feature not only for dogs but for most animals?

Whatever it is, the important thing is that Aru is now licking my abdominal wound with utmost sincerity. As I placed my hand on her furry head, Aru even closed her eyes like a kisser.

“Aru, you have something to do today.”

“Uum, haljak. What is it?”

“You know that smell you smelled yesterday, right? That ‘guest’ smell.”

“Mud… That simple iron smell?”

“Anyway, if anyone smells like that at the Academy today, please tell me right away? You can do it, right? Because Aruko is a wolf nose.”

“Woong.”

Maybe he didn’t come to the academy. Because I hit my stomach pretty hard. He might be complaining of abdominal pain in the hospital right now.

But that’s okay. All you have to do is go through the student and faculty list and find students who didn’t show up today. If you are not sure, you can find out the cause by asking where the gun that was taken yesterday was purchased.

There are many ways. Currently, using Aru’s sense of smell is the easiest and fastest way.

Eden Academy’s schedule today is similar to other times. However, unlike usual, I will wander around the academy as much as possible during the 7th period. Take Aru. Using her sense of smell like a detection machine.

There is not much time given. Therefore, it is necessary to efficiently allocate location and time accordingly. During the 1st period break, I went to the gym, during the 2nd period break, I looked around each classroom, and during the 3rd period break, I went into the dean’s office, etc.

So, I was making an ‘academy research plan’ for about a day… .

what.

“Huh?”

“Woong.”

“Huh?”

“Woof, is this him? Please let me know.”

Why is Aru’s trusted finger pointing to the back of the warrior’s blond head?

Is this really strange?
