episode_0077

From now on, every weekend.

Here in ‘Daesurim’, I was supposed to participate in a project of national secret level.

So I came here via the “portal” that connects the [Blue Dragon Tower] and Arpen Academy.

Of course, the portal is expensive to use.

There was no need to worry because Dean Seo Rin had already purchased the round-trip tickets.

however.

Dododododododo-!

As soon as I appeared through the portal, the pink-haired young lady who had been standing in front of the portal ran towards me with her arms outstretched!

That’s right, it was ‘Lakkuma’ possessed by the sushi girl Yuigahama.

I quickly bent my hands, feet, and knees and hugged her.

“How have you been?”

“No, I was wrong!”

It’s strange. Lakkuma is a hero who is praised as more than a guardian, but a guardian deity.

‘Kuma’s’ daughter.

It is difficult to guess what could have happened to her.

But as if it had been a really sad week, tears welled up in their eyes as they met.

“What the hell happened?!”

If I take the next trait I’m going to take, [Hypnosis Connection], then I’ll be able to easily figure out what happened…

Then, all of a sudden, Lakkuma’s voice began to tremble thinly.

“Lucius, I missed you sooo much···.”

If that’s the case, you’re always welcome.

Of course, the girls were furious when they heard that.

“You damn bitch! Where did you get your tricks from···!”

Seeing how I can get so worked up over a single line of dialogue, does that mean I’ve become quite close with the Young-aes?

Because it is said to be an early expression of jealousy and possessiveness.

But unexpectedly, there was another reason.

“Actually······some students bully me.”

“What?!”

“Huh, uh······? Surely, you’re not talking about us, are you?”

The young ladies waved their hands and retreated for a while, fearing that they might be accused of academy violence.

“That’s not it······.”

Yuigahama’s gaze trembles as she looks at a place within the Waygate station.

Then, there, the male students from the past were looking at Yuigahama with strange gazes.

“What the heck are those guys?!”

“Pae, they say it’s a fan club······ I don’t think that’s true!”

If you feel something is off, there is one very simple way.

“Do you want to transfer?”

“Yes! No! ”

What a cool girl.

Yui-ga-hama and I are currently separated by a distance every weekday. Therefore, I can’t keep a close eye on her and protect her alone. If I transfer, everything will be resolved neatly.

“Ugh, how close are you two going to get······.”

The young ladies were very worried because of the unpleasant incident that happened in front of the 【Blue Dragon Tower】 tent the other day.

“Then what should I do?”

I pointed at the numerous fan club members who were still staring at Yuigahama with obvious eyes as if they were about to pounce on her at any moment.

“No, what! We came as exchange students?”

“Umm, that’s a specification!”

“As expected, right?”

I went straight to the Student Support Center with Yuigahama.

* * *

“Huh?! You can’t transfer?!”

“Yes. I’m sorry, but Lakkuma-sama is the daughter of Kuma-sama, the 【Forest Inspector】 who has made a great contribution to the Great Forest.”

Then, wouldn’t it be better to give them more special privileges?

I asked because I didn’t understand the academic team’s decision to block transfers.

“Can I tell Kuma-sama?!”

“······.”

“Actually, it’s an order from Kuma-sama. There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Kuma, this guy!

My daughter is being bullied at school under the guise of a fan club. You don’t even know that and you’re blocking her from transferring! What on earth are you planning to do?!

Anyway, in order to explore the “Dragon Egg”, I had to head to a place called [Kalavinka Village].

‘Originally, you could take the Way and go straight to Calavinka.’

I asked the young ladies.

At last, there were young ladies who took the time to follow me.

“Should I just walk to Kuma’s school and ask him about transferring?”

“Yeah, hehe. It’s nice to be able to save the money I got from the dean!”

But there was one young lady who was dissatisfied.

Fortunately, Hotaru, the 6th grade senior who was supposed to accompany us this weekend after her great performance last time, is not there.

“What!? Are you guys out of your minds!?”

The dissatisfied Youngae was the silver-haired Youngae, ‘Yuriel’, who coincidentally went on the same path as us to train as a Western warrior and our paths overlapped, so we decided to accompany her.

Then suddenly, Yuigahama burst into tears.

“Haaa …

-Ahh! My senior is a nuisance!

-A student who failed the academy! A senior who is a nuisance to those around him but can’t do anything!

··· ···.

I thought to myself.

How much suffering must you have endured for a week to hear such pitiful words from your heart?

Then, the expression on Yuriel’s face, who was very kind to students she thought were weaker than her, brightened like the bright sun.

“Oh, hello?! My name is Uriel from Arpen Academy.”

Uriel first approached Lakkuma, who she was seeing for the first time, with a bright smile.

“Gyaaaah······!! Could it be, the famous······！ Arpen Academy’s, the daughter of a very good man！ Uriel Mercia？!”

What is a daughter of a rich family?! It somehow feels like a strange feeling.

Just as I was about to ask the meaning of the word, I heard a voice from Yuigahama again.

-Professors and instructors······ always compared me to them in terms of their speech······

Is that so?

It seemed like it wasn’t just the students who were harassing Yuigahama right now.

‘Somehow, information was leaked······ Ever since the guys who were trying to harass us came out to greet us instead, something felt suspicious.’

Although I don’t know, there was a high possibility that there was a hidden plot.

In this difficult situation, will Yuigahama, who grew up as a well-behaved young lady at the girls’ school, be able to grow up without getting emotionally hurt······?

“It’s okay. We all make mistakes, and learning from our mistakes is the student’s job!”

Uriel, as if trying to heal Yuigahama’s heart, was readily approaching her.

In fact, that is also her specialty.

“Really?”

“Of course! So don’t worry too much and take care of yourself so that you can become a better version of yourself! Come with us! How about it? We can do it, right?!”

“Yeah yeah!! Yuigaha, Anit······ Kuma is! Now I can do it!!”

For some reason, looking at the fighting spirit of the girls, I rubbed my nose.

“Okay, let’s go!! Go to Kuma and demand that he give you his ‘transfer certificate’ right now!”

“Woof!!”

For some reason, Yuigahama, I, and Yuriel all shouted in unison.

“Let’s go! Let’s uncover the secrets of the Great Forest!”

“Dig it up!”

Ranger Darae and Ryona, who originally liked Suin, join us!

The five of us, arm in arm for a while, walked together through the mysterious thickets of the Great Forest to fulfill our longing.

“What the hell are you doing······.”

“That’s right. It’ll just add another competitor!”

Arisha and Choa looked at our backs with worried eyes and said.

“······. You too, Lucius···？”

“Hehehe, sister, let’s form a marriage alliance!”

The strong bond between sisters-in-law······

How long will that affection last?

The young ladies followed behind with tearful faces.

Lilith, muttering quietly, alone.

“······. Hye-ri comes to mind.”

“Ugh, the human world really is a scary place!”

Princess Luzelin, who had already made a hasty judgment about the human world after seeing only a brief quarrel.

Besides that, there were senior Hotaru and others.

* * *

After a while, I was walking down the street with my friends, arm in arm.

We were passing through a dense forest made up of dense, old trees.

“Almost there!”

The entrance to the ‘Great Forest Watchtower’!

Since the radius from the beasts was now outside, there were no guards from here on out.

So, feeling relieved, we all headed towards the guard post with our shoulders together······

Jiiyiik –

The moment I stepped on a single fallen leaf, the pitfall trap was triggered!

Isn’t there a net coming down from above us?!

“What the?!”

“Gyaaaahh …

The traps and snares coming from all sides!

The girls and I felt helpless in the face of the sudden attack.

“Hehehehehe! As expected, I fell for the perfect trap that disappeared with magic!”

And soon, with a familiar voice.

A group of Tower cadets were seen approaching, their robes dragging on the floor, their staff also dragging badly.

“Lucius······ It turns out that you, you’re the guy who ranked first among all the freshmen at Arpen Academy!”

“Huh······? You lost to me back then!!”

Even though I was hanging upside down in the air, I managed to figure out who my opponent was.

Then the opponent kicked the floor with an angry face and lost his temper.

“Shut up! At that time, I didn’t know you were the best in the country and lost because I let my guard down!”

“Ah, that was amazing. Who would have thought Trico would lose to a first-year student?”

“At that time, it was really a shame for 【Blue Dragon Tower】······.”

“You, you all, shut up···!! ”

I saw that tree and chuckled.

“Phew, you idiot······ If you’re that angry, why don’t you fight me again!? But if you lose this time, you’ll have to call me ‘hyung.’”

“······！！”

“Hey, no way. You’re not going to accept that offer, are you?”

“We are in a favorable position right now. Don’t be fooled by his tricks.”

Then Trico spoke, flicking the staff with his tongue.

“Hoohoohoo······ It’s noisy. I have to get revenge for that time! Instead, you fight me while tied up in a net!”

“Ohh …

The moment when Trico and his group praised Trico, saying that he was indeed a genius.

I said with a hollow laugh.

“Call. Should we give that much of a penalty to Jo-bap?”

“······！？”

“Then, let’s start right now!”

Soon, Trico’s gang looked at me with thoughtful faces.

====================

▼ This is ‘Uriel’ who approaches Lakkuma kindly and comforts her together…!!
