by fnovelpiaA moment of silence surrounded the surroundings. Revan and Faust stood still, facing each other.
Revan felt a sense of déjà vu from Faust’s sunken eyes.
‘ah.’
Revan recalled. The moments when Faust looked like that.
Faust looked like that whenever nobles or low-class people who saw Revan fighting ran up to Faust and offered a check to buy Revan.
Occasionally, when women with some money would sneakily approach Revan, they would look at him with eyes like that.
Revan couldn’t understand women who attacked men they didn’t even know, but Faust couldn’t hide his annoyance whenever such people attacked him.
At that time, I thought it was because my status was status. But I clearly didn’t understand the current situation.
As it happened so far, the only thing I could do was meet El in the middle. Before that, it didn’t seem like I was in a bad mood.
“Why are you doing that?”
Revan asked, looking straight into the eyes aimed at him.
“······.”
But Faust did not answer. I looked at Revan with eyes filled with a mixture of emotions, including questioning, irritation, and displeasure.
ha. Revan sighed and turned towards the academy’s main entrance.
“Uh, where are you going?”
Faust, looking at Revan’s back, asked hastily. It was a voice that conveyed some impatience.
“Guide me.”
“Huh?”
“He said he bought a mansion. I’ll take you there.”
From the moment he got off the airship, there was no one around Faust. Even escorts, which should definitely be there.
In the past, when I was at the arena, I definitely had a female escort with me. Although it didn’t seem that trustworthy in Revan’s opinion.
The Faust that Revan had seen so far was quite an amazing person, regardless of his twisted personality.
Faust sometimes walked around with Revan by his side.
No matter what building you entered, soon a person who appeared to be a manager or higher-ranking person would rush up and bow his head 90 degrees to Faust.
That bastard didn’t even come with an escort. Revan couldn’t just watch.
“Uh, yes!”
Before we knew it, Faust was rushing towards Revan. There was no trace of the expression shown earlier on his face. It was his usual, or rather happy, expression.
‘···?’
Revan had a question mark in his mind. I couldn’t keep up with Faust’s mood swings.
But no matter how Revan felt, Faust guided him toward his mansion with a smile on his face.
***
It didn’t take long to get to the mansion. 10 minutes away. It was just as Faust said.
The plan was to just take Revan to the front gate, but Faust did not let Revan go.
“Take a look at your room…!”
“What kind of room is this? I have no intention of moving.”
Faust dragged Revan’s sleeve with his small body. In the end, Revan followed Faust.
“Ta-da!”
And when we arrived, Revan’s room… appeared to have been decorated with great care.
Considering Revan’s personality of not liking flashy things, there was nothing sparkly or shiny in the room. The use of calm colors was easy on the eyes.
And in the mansion, I chose a room with lots of sunlight. It seemed to show that Revan’s room was a fairly high priority.
“How about it?”
Faust’s eyes moved back and forth, full of anticipation. He looked like a puppy on a snow day.
“···It’s okay.”
“Right?!”
Cheer up! Faust cheered, lowering his raised fist. Revan laughed at that sight without even realizing it.
“It’s okay when I see it in person~ Why are you throwing me off from the beginning? Huh?”
…Of course, that joy did not last long. As soon as Faust saw Revan’s positive reaction, he reacted arrogantly.
“What do you think when you see it in person? How come it’s hard to find a room like this in a mansion like this?”
“···Um.”
Revan had no particular intention of moving his lodgings. Because I didn’t feel the need to do that.
However, when I came here in person, I could see that they paid more attention than I thought, and it was close to the academy. Wouldn’t this be okay? A thought began to swirl in the corner of my head.
“I’ll think about it.”
Faust nodded as if that was enough. After seeing the prepared room, Revan left the mansion and returned to the academy.
***
“···Ha.”
After Revan crossed the front door and left the mansion, Faust sat down on a chair in his room and exhaled.
“Coffee.”
“Okay.”
Faust sat quietly and ordered coffee from his servant.
Faust, sitting on a chair and waiting for coffee, did not show the smile he had when he was with Revan earlier.
Sigh. Sigh. Faust was lost in thought, bouncing his thumb and middle finger together.
There was one reason why Faust was overworked and finished his work quickly. It was because I was worried about the variables that would affect Revan.
Up until now, Revan had mostly been in a controlled environment. As Faust, who knew Revan’s whereabouts, it was actually not very pleasant for Revan to go to a place where there was a lot of interaction with people.
‘But there’s nothing I can do about Geoff.’
Nobles began to be given preferential treatment and their level became equal to that of their heads, but Geoff’s diploma became almost as valuable as a nobleman’s ID card.
It wasn’t that difficult to immediately determine the level that had fallen. No one would be able to say something like that even after seeing Revan, a student, defeat a demonic beast.
“Hmm.”
When Revan refused the invitation to enter the mansion, Faust suspected that the arrangement he had prepared had been ruined.
In particular, the energy given off by the woman named El who was talking to Revan was unusual. Faust felt that there was enough risk of becoming a variable.
But Revan did not change. He was the same person he knew, grumbling but following what he said.
“···.”
Before he knew it, Faust was stirring the prepared coffee with a spoon. The coffee in the cup swirled and gave off a fragrant scent.
What he feared did not happen. Everything is according to plan.
Geoff’s diploma makes up for the unclear identity. After graduation, he goes behind the wall and stands in the vanguard to subdue the demonic beasts.
As you catch and kill the demon beasts, the territories will be restored, and Revan will become the hero of the empire who regained the lost land.
Right now, the inspection group is wide open with the intention of killing Revan if the restrictions on him are resolved, but once he becomes a hero who has recovered the lost territory, no matter what he does, they will not be able to touch him.
“If you want to stay with me, you have to do that much.”
In order to be with Faust even after he became the head of the family, Revan needed to become a greater person.
Huh. Faust stretched his hand into the air and put his hand into his inventory. Faust, who returned to reality, was holding the perfume that Revan had given him as a gift.
There will come a day when I can sow it. A faint smile was drawn on Faust’s lips as he looked at the perfume with subtle anticipation.
“I’m just showing it to the best of my ability, so I have to go hot.”
Grumble. Faust opened the desk drawer, took out a piece of stationery, and then took out a pen.
Faust began writing a message telling him to choose the most ferocious and strong of the monsters he could obtain. To give people a strong impression of the existence of Revan.
***
“···Haam.”
The Academy’s holidays are just around the corner. Revan was lying on the bed in the dormitory, covered in blankets.
Well, it’s a bit hard to say this, but there was nothing to do. I studied to some extent thanks to El and Faust, and training… didn’t mean much.
Even if I wanted to meet someone, the timing was unclear.
-I will definitely find it for you.
Ever since El saw the pattern engraved on the back of Revan’s hand, he has been confined to the library. Even though Revan clearly said that he didn’t have to go that far, he didn’t know that the heat in his eyes would go away.
-busy. I won’t be able to see you for a while, so I’ll see you in a few days.
Faust locked himself in the mansion and would not come out. It seemed like there was quite a lot to prepare for his new appointment as a professor. The dark circles around my eyes have become thicker than before.
-Well, there are a lot of documents and such that need to be prepared…
A senior who cooperated with me in drawing the flag. Werner also found it difficult to find time.
Werner decided to change his career to production, which suited his aptitude and inherited mana.
The reason I was attached to the golden dragon was because of a fantasy I had since I was young. But with all those illusions shattered, there was no reason to be forced to remain in the Golden Dragon.
“Crap.”
Thanks to this, it became a holiday where Revan’s narrow interpersonal relationships were clearly revealed.
Well, a holiday just lying in bed without doing anything wasn’t that bad. With that in mind, the moment Revan was about to lay his head back on the pillow, there was a knock on the door.
“······?”
When I opened the door and went out, there was an unknown man standing in front of Revan who appeared to be a first year student and was wearing a school uniform even though it was a holiday. It was different from the expectation that a middle-aged employee would appear.
“Are you Revan?”
Regardless of whether Revan was internally embarrassed or not, the man in front of him spoke to Revan with an expression of slight jealousy that seemed slightly off.
“The Lady of Bismuth is looking for you.”
“···What?”
It was an unexpected call from the owner of Jeonjeon.
