Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 164 Chapter

54 Residual Talent

Before leaving the mansion, I first knocked on the next room.

“Is Selena ready?”

“yes. “I’m leaving now.”

A voice that comes straight away. Then, almost silent footsteps approached and the door opened.

“It will be a more comfortable trip than Tavern. Don’t let down your guard though. “We are going to the border.”

“Of course I know.”

I took a moment to look at Selena’s outfit. It was better than when we first met, but it still felt too exposed compared to other people’s casual clothes. The body is still exposed.

Selena looked at me and said as if she had no shame.

“sorry. This is the most neat clothing. However, it is the perfect outfit for escorting. It can store a lot of tools without interfering with movement. It’s true.”

Selena avoided my gaze as she spoke. My face turned a little red, as if I was somehow embarrassed.

When we first met, he had a shameless face while wearing even worse clothes, but he has come a long way.

“are you okay.”

“…yes?”

“If it’s clothing that allows you to be faithful to your mission, that’s fine. “As long as you don’t harbor useless intentions like before.”

“Yes, yes…”

Selena answered, but rolled her eyes as if she didn’t understand something.

I guess it’s only natural that my reaction has changed since I used to say things that were close to death threats.

“Before, I wasn’t pointing out your clothes. Do you remember? I wasn’t talking about your outfit, I was just pointing out that you couldn’t tell where you were and tried to change clothes in front of me. “That was also the reason why I told you to go ‘there’.”

“…That’s right.”

I deliberately changed Mangot to ‘there’. Because this is inside the mansion, there are ears to hear.

Of course, all employees of Roach Mansion do not interfere with the owner’s life. If you heard something you shouldn’t hear, you didn’t hear it. If you saw something you shouldn’t see, you didn’t see it. That is the rule of the servants, and within this prestigious family, they strictly follow the rule.

But you never know, so be careful.

“Why do you think?”

“…Because I was displeased with my appearance. “Because I tried to expose myself in front of Frontier in an unreasonable way.”

Selena responded with a somewhat sullen expression.

I haven’t thought much about it until now, but does Selena really think of it that way?

“no.”

“yes?”

“The reason I scolded you was because your words and actions at that time were proof that you looked down on me ‘there’.”

“…!”

I’m not an asexual person, and I can’t help but feel something when I see Selena’s outfit and body language as she tries to seduce me.

However, people are not so bad that they fall for a woman just because of that. However, Mangot probably thought that Selena could do that much. I thought ‘Frondier de Roach’ was that good.

If Frondier had been devastated both physically and mentally before I possessed him, he would have suffered, but I wasn’t him.

“It’s not that I was offended by your body attire. There is no need to hesitate so much. “Let go of thoughts like it wasn’t right or it was useless.”

“Yes…”

Selena somehow lowered her head to hide her face and nodded. I decided she understood enough and turned and walked away. From now on, we will have to think carefully about Jeranhes

“…?”

However, no matter how far I walked, there was no sign of me following behind. When I turned to see Selena again, her face was redder than before and her eyes were full of questions.

What, did you not understand what I said correctly? Was it such a difficult story?

“What can I do without following you?”

“Those words.”

“…?”

“My outfit at the time was like…”

Selena was unusually stuttering and hesitating. The corners of his eyes trembled as he looked at me, and the moment he spoke his next words, his face was more red than red.

“Did filial piety have an effect?”

“….”

“No, that! I’m not saying I’m going to do that again. Ha, but you don’t know enough, do you? What was my intention at that time? So that’s what I was curious about…”

I think my expression turned cold without me realizing it. When you see Selena working hard to explain things like that.

“Follow me.”

“Ah, yes…”

I walked forward again after seeing Selena walking limply.

I glanced behind me and saw Selena walking sullenly. However, even then, it seemed like the clothes looked awkward and he wanted to cover up his body.

For some reason, Selena was feeling embarrassed even though she was dressed more neatly than before. Perhaps something changed while attending Constel? As you blend into your daily life, you may have started to look at your own attire again.

‘Hmm, this is troublesome.’

There’s nothing good or bad about Selena suddenly being conscious of her clothes, but if she’s worried about that and can’t move properly, it’s troublesome. First of all, the way I appear to others is my bodyguard. I have to do my escort job properly.

“Selena.”

“Yes yes.”

“After this trip is over, let’s go shopping for clothes.”

“yes yes?!”

“I will give you better clothes that will allow you to move a little more comfortably than what you are wearing now. There is no excessive exposure. Then there will be no need to worry.”

“Oh no. “As an escort, I can’t do that…”

Selena answered, then said, “Ah,” and then closed her mouth as if she suddenly remembered something.

Then he lowered his head and muttered in a hushed voice.

“…I understand….”

The voice was so loud that you would wonder if it was really an ant speaking. I heard that I am brave.

When I left the mansion, the car was already waiting.

Ampere was talking about something with the driver. Since I couldn’t hear it from this distance, I thought it was some kind of secret story.

After hearing Ampere’s words, the driver’s eyes trembled for a moment and he looked at me. Although it wasn’t said in words, ‘Is that really true?’ It was a face that said.

Did I tell you that I was accompanying you to Jeranhes? If that’s the case, is there any need to talk about it in a small way?

I slowly approached them without showing any sign of doubt.

Ampere said after checking me.

“Get in.”

“yes.”

Ampere’s words still cannot be rejected or accepted. I nodded and sat in the back seat.

Of course, Selena was there too.

“….”

“….”

Of course, of course, there was no conversation in the departing car.

Ampere is quiet to begin with and has nothing to say to me, and Selena is someone who knows the place and atmosphere.

I didn’t know, but surprisingly, I wasn’t uncomfortable with the silence. No, maybe it’s not me, but this body that’s familiar. For Frontier, there must have always been silence with his father.

But.

“Frondier.”

Surprisingly, Ampere spoke to me first.

“yes.”

“I heard the final exam rankings. “You placed 9th?”

“Yes that’s right.”

Surprisingly, it was about Constell.

Ampere first spoke to Frondier about his school life!

It’s such a fatherly line that it’s rather creepy.

I ranked 9th overall in the second semester. It was the result of my own adjustments to both writing and practical skills. If I had really tried my best, I could have taken first place again.

However, after passing Ampere’s quest, there was no need to worry too much about Constell’s ranking.

“Was that the result of winning with all your might?”

Ampere asked as if he could see right through it.

This question should not be pondered. I said it as soon as I heard it.

“no.”

“yes. “I would have been very disappointed if I had said that was the best.”

Ampere said:

“I wasn’t able to observe the exam this time, but I saw you fighting during the first semester final exam.”

“…Yes that’s right.”

“Judging from the situation at that time, 9th place is too low a ranking. “If that had been the only result, I would have lamented my eyes and my memory.”

I don’t know if I’m praising or scolding.

“sorry. “For the next exam, definitely”

“Frondier.”

Ampere interrupted me.

Ampere, who was sitting in the front seat, could not see that expression. He just looked straight ahead and spoke to me.

“You can hide it a little better.”

“yes?”

I asked back without thinking. But there were no further words.

I thought as the car fell silent again.

‘What just happened?’

Can you hide it a little better?

It was as if he wanted me to hide my strength.

‘Surely you know the reason?’

Of course, I have never once mentioned this to Ampere.

There are complex reasons why I do not reveal all of my abilities in Constell, but the only one that Ampere would notice is

‘…God.’

When I first realized the weaving, the trigger was activated and the god Thanatos descended before my eyes.

Like Thanatos, who tried to kill me as soon as we met, maybe to Ampere.

‘Could it be that God even interfered with my father?’

When my thoughts reached that point, I asked,

“…Frondier?”

Selena, who was next to me, looked at me.

I felt my face suddenly harden.

Ampere is not really my father. Just like Malia is not his real mother.

So whether Ampere is interfered with by God or not has nothing to do with me. Rather, if it hinders me, it is just an obstacle.

But just as I felt my mother’s scent in Malia.

I hear Ampere’s worried tone as he speaks.

‘…who is it?’

Of course, all of this may be excessive speculation. What Ampere said may have simply meant nothing.

But if it’s true.

Which god dared to visit Ampere?

That face is very curious.

* * *

The situation at Göranhes was not as serious as at Tayvon.

As Yeranhes was largely handled by the Roach Knights and had prevented all invasions of monsters so far, the local residents were also lively.

The reason Ampère allowed me to come to Göranhes was probably because he predicted that I would be safe inside the walls.

I ‘analyzed’ the barrier that was visible from afar.

‘You’re fine.’

Of course, it was older and more cracked than the Tavern after my ‘restoration’, but the walls of Gjerranhes were so strong that they did not need restoration.

Of course, what allowed this barrier to remain so majestic was the power of Ampere and

the “Knights of Roach!!” salute!”

A group of knights who line up like swords according to the command and take a stance.

I felt like it was a precision gear.

The Roach Knights currently reign as the unofficial strongest force on the continent.

For reference, there is officially the Imperial Knights Order, and the ‘Shroud Knights’, to which Knight Sanders, whom I met at Tavern, belongs, is also quite famous. Some even predict Shroud to be number one.

However, from my perspective, which knows the reality, the Shroud is now far behind. When the knights who achieved glory by capturing monsters on the outskirts are moved to the center, they mostly look similar to the Shroud.

We are absorbed by the sudden peace and security and forget our original strength.

However, thanks to Ampere’s stubbornness to stay in the outskirts and the charisma of systematic training, the Roach Knights still have the spirit and ability from the Monster War.

“See you, matriarch.”

Knight Commander ‘Sylvane Cerdo’ bowed his head in front of Ampere.

Ampere nodded and then pointed at me.

“He is my son who is Sylvaine.”

“…You look younger than I remember. “Your face also becomes rounder.”

“It’s not Ajie. “The second one is Frontier.”

Sylvain looked at me for a moment after hearing Ampere’s words. The face looked as if the matriarch had a second child.

Sylvain is a character that players, and Aster Evans, meets quite late in life. Gheranhes is on the outskirts, and the fact that Aster has reached that point means he is on the verge of expanding his boundaries by becoming a professional after graduating.

Sylvain at that time was a man who lost his left eye and one of his arms. But the spirit in those eyes still remained.

Now my limbs and eyes are fine. I was glad to see Sylvaine like that.

“Let it roll as you please.”

“You mean the matriarch’s son?”

“I came because I wanted to.”

Ampere glanced at me and said.

“It is up to you to decide how to act. You can do whatever you want, whether it’s teaching them, running errands, or giving them chores. If you get in the way, I will send you home on the spot. “Try to see how usable it is without any ‘tricks’.”

Ampere emphasized the word talent. That’s what they said to me. They told me to try my best without any strange abilities that I showed during the first semester final exam.

I laughed to myself.

As expected, Ampere knew very well what I wanted.
