Part 6
The Academy was a bit rowdy with the preparations for the tea party.
Some students moved to prepare, and others fought over who to invite and Which tea party to attend.
I didn't hate this hubbub, but now I was in the library for something else.
I was alone with Livia in the library after class.
Luxon was here too, but now he was hiding from everyone's sight and couldn't join the conversation. There were other students reading books in the library, but the number was small and there were no people around.
Therefore, it can be said that we are actually alone.
I was gathering information about the Holy Magical Empire from Voldenova, but Livia thought
“you offered to help me and accompanied me.”
I was reading a book about the relationship between the Holy Magical Empire of Voldenova (HMEV) and the Holy Kingdom of Rachelle.
I learned a bit about this in class, but the book contained more details.
"Once the Empire gave the royal family special armor as proof of friendship, it was from that moment that Rachelle's name became sacred.
It seems that the two countries had a deep connection a long time ago, and that still they are currently in contact.”
If HMEV is an ally of Milaine's enemy ...... Then it is an enemy to me.
I will also put the Holy Magical Empire of Voldenova on the list of countries I hate.
However, only Rachelle and the Empire appear on the list of countries I dislike.
In that case, the protagonist also has a connection to the Holy Kingdom of Rachelle.
Livia opened her mouth as I prayed this didn't turn into an annoying problem.
"Leon, you're overexerting yourself again, right?"
Livia, sitting next to me and with her gaze on a book, asked me that.
I could only give bland answers to ambiguous questions.
"There are a lot of annoying things, so it's a big problem for me. I have to lecture the first-year idiots, and I have to help Finley make her tea party.”
I was also busy at the Academy.
When a naive boy causes a problem, they call me for a reason.
Most of these problems occur between men and women.
If it were a love affair I would have had no problems, but unfortunately that.
It is not the case. It's about guys teasing girls and they need me to help them.
However, when Livia stopped her hand, she turned to look at me.
Apparently there was something else she wanted to ask.
"You've been going out every night, right?"
"...... Who did you hear that from? Was it Roland?”
Livia shook her head when I said that name, since I think that if anyone knows that I go out at night it's probably Roland.
"If you go out frequently, even the Academy students will notice, and it's been rumored”
I looked away from Livia's accusing gaze, whose eyes narrowed slightly.
I couldn't explain in detail why I went out at night, so I decided to avoid her.
I will first say that is not the case.
However, Livia wasn't worried about that.
"I'm not worried about that, since you don't have the smell of another woman's scent, but you're doing something dangerous, right?”
-...... Well, something like that. Hey? Odor?
"Leon, you will tell me, won't you?"
To what extent do you know? In this case, it would be better to explain the situation with some truth.
The trick to telling a lie is to intertwine the truth with it. But an honest person as I do not tell lies. ...... I only hid the truth that it is inconvenient.
—No〜, it's nothing serious, I'm on the trail of a series of murders that have recently increased. The killer hasn't been caught yet and that's not reassuring,right ?
"I don't think that's a job you should do, Leon. Furthermore, it is dangerous.”
It hurt my heart to see that Livia was worried about me.
However, there is a reason why I couldn't quit, I had no choice but to continue.
-Do not worry. I will explain it to you when everything is resolved, and if you need something you can trust Clare. With it, even if a problem occurs, you can buy some time and escape.
Livia was not satisfied with my request.
"...... Are we that unreliable?"
"No, that is not the case."
"We know you care about us. But you must also trust us. Angie and me, we have been striving to help you. It's very different from how we were before, you know.”
I heard that Livia and Angie were working hard while I was studying abroad. Neither I had even found out, but it was Clare who informed me.
I was glad to hear they were doing it for me, but still I didn't want to take them anywhere dangerous.
"Still, I don't want to endanger you."
"Don't you need us, Leon? I am more useful than you think ......."
When it comes to magic, Livia is better than me in both knowledge and skill.
I knew what she was Capable of.
However, even so ... I end up thinking that way.
"Guys have our pride, you know. Sometimes I have to do the best I can or you'll end up abandoning me, right?”
Even I, who am like a Luxon extra, am a bit stubborn.
However, Livia didn't seem to understand.
"Neither Angie nor I will abandon you."
Seeing Livia get angry and look back at the book she had, I sighed a little, reflecting on what I should have said
When I brought my eyes to the book, I heard Livia's voice.
"I will never abandon you, but if you abandon me, I will chase you everywhere and make you look at me again.”
What joyful words! I was not so callous as to be glad of what she said, I turned my face to Livia awkwardly.
Livia looked at her book and continued to investigate.
She looked the same as ever, but her words were strangely terrifying.
It must be from the tone of her voice, but my crisis management skills sensed something very heavy.
"E-Umm, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.”
I was too scared and apologized, but Livia looked at me and smiled.
-Why are you apologizing?
Even though she had a kind smile, I felt like she was asking me, "Maybe you had the intention to leave us? "I felt as if I had been questioned. The big smile seemed to intimidate.
I'm sure it's just my imagination.
Sweet Livia can't be such a scary woman.
-...... You are welcome.
First of all, if anyone is going to be abandoned, it will be me.
It is easy to imagine a future in which I am finally exhausted by affection.
