The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 16

Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 16 Chapter

4 Club

Constell is currently recruiting clubs.

Recruitment itself began when freshmen entered, but was now reaching its final stage.

The next week until the deadline was filled with interest in upperclassmen, freshmen, and clubs.

Of course, the same was true for Class 2, which was the area receiving the most attention at Constel.

“Did you hear about Elodie’s club?”

“…Oh, huh?”

When Aster asked Elodie, Elodie pretended not to hear and asked back.

Aster spoke again sincerely.

“I mean the club. “I heard there’s not much time left until the deadline.”

“No, I’m not particularly interested in anything.”

“Hmm, I see.”

Aster did not ask any more questions. Not having doubts is his character and sincerity. Although it worked a bit badly this time.

Elodie hesitated and then asked.

“you?”

“I like horseback riding. “I haven’t learned horseback riding yet, but Constel has ‘Cassian’, an excellent war horse breed.”

The most common means of transportation on the Palind continent is the car.

However, in this world where mana and fantasy combine, an excellent horse surpasses them.

Its main power allows it to jump over a decent sedan, moves based on its own judgment, and even evacuates its owner to a safe place while he or she is unconscious.

Cassian is an excellent breed that meets all the requirements of being a famous horse. It is one of Constel’s pride among the central continent.

“Huh, I see.”

Elodie said as if she was not interested. I actually had no interest in horseback riding.

I was so uninterested in horseback riding that my plan to follow Aster to the same club was ruined.

Aster tilted his head.

“You would be welcome anywhere you go.”

“…Haha, of course it is.”

Elodie answered coolly. It was also true.

From the first day of club recruitment, she received numerous recommendations. To this day, I occasionally receive club pamphlets.

…But if you go alone, it’s lonely.

“Well, there’s nothing I can do if you’re not interested in the club.”

Aster said that and left.

Elodie clasped both hands hidden under the desk.

It’s not that I’m not interested!

It’s not that I’m not interested!!

Hey, are you listening?!

“…Ugh.”

A sigh comes out of Elodie’s mouth.

Elodie has good interpersonal relationships and gets along well with everyone around her. So it’s hard to notice, but I actually have few friends.

The only people I can talk to properly are Aster Evans and Frontier.

It’s not that Elodie has a problem making friends. On the contrary, it is difficult to make friends because they are so talented.

In addition to the overwhelming divine power loved by the five gods, there is Lisha, a noble family in the north.

His appearance and demeanor are beyond reproach, his grades are excellent, and he has no common flaws.

So, regardless of gender, there are many people who show favor to Elodie, but most of them are admiration or envy.

Flowers on the cliff. There is no one in Constel who these words fit so well with.

“…I’m no different.”

No matter how talented and talented she is, she is only 17 years old.

I think as much as others, have as much fun as others, and dream as much as others.

But the only one who thinks that way is Elodie herself.

“I’m not… lonely!”

Elodie let out a complaint without realizing it, but then changed her words as if she came to her senses.

I have friends too! It’s just a little less!

“…Let’s go home.”

I wondered what I was doing alone.

You are free to join clubs at Constel. You don’t have to go in. Becoming the so-called ‘go-home’.

Ortel, Elodie’s father, will love it. Because I care about my daughter so much.

…Didn’t Elodie voluntarily want to become a housewife?

Elodie headed to the school gate.

When it’s time to leave school, the family’s driver is always waiting for the car.

Elodie’s small wish was to go to the club and tell the driver that the school dismissal time had changed.

I even practiced keeping a straight face for fear that I would burst out laughing out of joy and show that face to the driver.

“….”

As she walked like that, she really didn’t think anything of it.

I looked towards the training room.

…The latest rumor is that he goes to the training room every day these days.

Another rumor is that he entered the dungeon and rescued a female student from the group.

Rumor has it that he has changed a little compared to before. They say people have changed.

“Hmm, then where?”

Should I go take a look, or rather check the truth of the rumor?

Elodie took out her phone.

It was different from the reason I first thought, but it was to let them know that the dismissal time had changed.

* * *

[In use]

Number of occupants: 1

User: Frontier de Roach

“It’s real.”

Elodie was a little impressed.

That frontier is a training room.

I can’t believe you’re doing self-training without anyone telling you!

“You didn’t even listen when I said that.”

Elodie moved her upper body around and snooped around.

Each private room is equipped with a mirror, and this mirror is made of glass that can be seen from the inside of the private room.

It is used to prevent people from watching the training from outside and to check who is outside from inside.

So, if you show yourself in front of the mirror like this, you might open the door and come out…

“Why, how focused are you to not think about coming out?”

Are you really ignoring me?

Did you just ignore me when you saw me there?

Are you ignoring me because I don’t have any friends?

“Let’s see how long we can do that.”

Elodie moved from her seat in front of the mirror and headed towards the door.

There is a buzzer button on the private room door. To let people with business know inside.

Elodie pressed the button in front of the door as hard as she could –

hissing.

-The door opened before prayer.

“uh.”

Elodie sounded confused and dazed.

In front of her was Frontier. My clothes were soaked from my shoulder collar down to my chest, and my upper body gently rose and sank from my chest to my shoulders.

His entire face was drenched in sweat, and his wet eyelashes slowly covered Frondier’s eyes and then opened them again.

That drowsy expression became even more drowsy, and the sunken eyes became even more sunken.

Elodie blinked a few times. For a moment, I thought I might have come to the wrong room. I had that thought even though the frontier was clearly in front of me.

Elodie took a breath. I had to say something. What is the point of just staring at me like this? Even if you say something-

“…the smell of sweat!”

Elodie shouted.

To put it bluntly, it was the best agility this year.

Huh Frondier laughed as if it were absurd.

“What do you want from a place like this? “At least give me time to wash up.”

“…Yes, but.”

“So what happened?”

Frondier wiped his face with the towel he had prepared. So, it looked a little more like the usual Frontier than before.

Elodie is feeling a little better. I don’t know what got better.

“I heard you come to the training room often.”

“Oh yeah. “I’m practicing.”

After saying that, Frondier moved to put the towel in the locker. As the distance from Frondier grew, Elodie’s head became a little more relaxed.

…I see. I was looking up at the Frontier.

Of course, since Frontier is taller.

It’s so obvious, but somehow.

“Did you come to check that? Am I still training? “Are you still worried?”

“What are you worried about?”

Elodie tried to deny it for now. But I couldn’t find another appropriate expression.

It’s not that Elodie has been worried about Frondier for a long time.

Elodie and Frondier have been together since they were children.

Elodie was worried about Frondier, who was becoming more and more lazy, and gave him various advices, but all of them were meaningless.

But Frontier is different now.

Why on earth did Frondier, which did not change even though Elodie helped her so sincerely, change?

What was the trigger?

Elodie didn’t bother to ask because she felt jealous of wanting to know that.

Elodie suddenly remembered and asked.

“So, did you join the club?”

“no. I’m not interested. “I don’t have time to do it.”

“Then what about going home?”

“huh.”

Frondier answered and drank the water. Towels, water, and personal lockers. It definitely looks like he visited the training room often.

It was a short answer, but Elodie felt reassured. I felt like I had a comrade.

This time Frontier asked.

“you?”

“Huh me?”

Elodie was a little taken aback when Frondier asked, but gave her usual answer.

“I don’t really have any interest in anything either.”

At those words, Frondier stopped drinking water. He lowered the water bottle and said.

“lie.”

“…what?”

“You want to join a club.”

Frontier seemed to be saying something along the lines of, ‘The Earth still spins.’

He said it as if it were so obvious.

Elodie blinked, feeling even more dumbfounded than before.

“Hey, what do you say you know?”

“know. “Because you look like me.”

Elodie frowned.

What is this crazy guy saying now?

However, Elodie stiffened at Frondier’s next words.

“You seem to be alone.”

“…!”

“I feel like I’m in a lonely place and I don’t think I’ll be able to get out of this lonely place.”

Frondier said calmly.

That calmness actually made Elodie gradually freeze.

“Even if you talk and smile with other people, you don’t feel like you are truly understood.”

“…you”

Elodie tried to say something, but in the end she couldn’t say it and closed her mouth. The current Frontier really seemed to be no more than the rumor.

Frondier said that Elodie looked like him. In other words, the story Frontier is telling now was directed at Elodie, but it was also ultimately directed at himself.

“…I thought you didn’t care about that.”

Human sloth Frontier.

Of course, the derogatory name for Frontier that everyone knows is probably him himself.

Nevertheless, Frontier’s expression was calm. As if it doesn’t hurt anything like that. As if it wasn’t my story.

…but.

Frontier said:

“You too.”

Yes.

“You act calm too.”

Like Frontier, Elodie did not show it on her face. I pretended to be okay.

But still, Frontier found out.

“…Well, it must be much harder since you carry more weight than me.”

Frondier just shrugs his shoulders.

But Elodie couldn’t bear to think that she was suffering more than Frondier.

Especially now that I have overheard Frontier’s inner thoughts.

Elodie raised her head.

I felt lighter somewhere.

Maybe I wanted to hear this simple consolation. If there was just one person who could understand her, that might be enough.

Elodie was able to laugh when it became a trivial matter such as a club.

“…thank you. “I feel at ease.”

I can’t say that I got better because you comforted me because I’m so embarrassed.

“….”

But Frondier looked at Elodie. The expression on his face was just as languid as it had been up until now, and somehow it was just as cold.

“Join the club.”

“it’s okay. “I want to do it, but I don’t have anyone to do it with.”

“You can make friends. “Because you are different from me.”

Elodie’s eyes twitched at those words.

It was something I didn’t want to hear. That too for Frontier. Especially for Frontier, who had just had this conversation.

Everyone treated her like she was someone else. There was no one who truly understood.

Was it ultimately the same for Frontier?

“…I heard they look alike.”

Elodie said. An incredibly weak voice came out.

“Why are you even talking like that?”

Frondier closed his eyes for a moment. His shoulders sank. It seemed as if all the breath inside had been expelled.

“Because I know your loneliness.”

“You too.”

“I can’t help it. “It was my mistake and I can’t take it back.”

“….”

“But you can change. “In that sense, you and I are different.”

For a person who made such noises, Frondier was very calm and shy.

“At least you do what you want, Elodie.”

Those words sounded like a wish.

Someone’s wish conveyed to Elodie de Inies Richae.
