The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 191
Chapter 62 Date
Frondier listened to the entire explanation in the teacher’s office and returned to the classroom.
It seemed like a lot of preparation was needed to take the skills test. They said they would contact us again in a few days, so everyone who was in the teacher’s office went back.
‘Then let’s go straight to Selena.’
Frondier decided to go shopping for clothes with Selena as he had promised before. I will probably go to Terst Department Store, but I plan to look around other places as well if necessary.
‘I said I was going to buy clothes, but it’s harder than I thought.’
Buying clothes for Selena is not just a matter of fashion.
It’s a good idea to replace clothes that reveal too much of your body, but if the clothes you replace them with are worse than the clothes you used to wear, it’s worse than not buying them at all.
Selena’s clothes are basically combat uniforms.
‘If you simply want to find good clothes, you can use workshop and analysis appropriately, but in the end, it has to fit Selena.’
I think it will take longer than I thought.
Grumble –
Frondier opened the classroom door.
“You were waiting for Selena, right?”
“Ah, Mr. Frontier.”
Frondier saw Selena and walked closer. Next to him was Cybel, who was smiling stiffly when she saw Frondier.
“Uh huh! Frontier! hi? how have you been doing?”
“…You said hello in the morning too.”
“The more you say hello, the better!”
is it? Well, if that’s Cybel’s values.
“Then let’s go, Selena.”
“yes.”
Following Frondier’s words, Selena stood up.
Saibel saw that and said blankly.
“So we’re really going together….”
“Huh? Oh, I guess Selena mentioned it.”
Selena nodded at Frondier’s words. Of course, there were some differences between what Frondier understood and what Selena conveyed to Cybel, but Frondier had no way of knowing.
“That frontier.”
“huh?”
“How long do you think it will be?”
Frontier thought for a moment about Cybel’s question.
I had a similar concern before. So the answer came quickly.
“I think you’ll be staying for quite some time?”
I need to choose good clothes and know if they fit Selena.
“Oh long?”
“huh. “I think I’ll spend quite a bit of money.”
You can’t choose Selena’s clothes carelessly.
Frondier said and left, waving his hand. With Selena, of course. Selena bowed her head to Cybel and followed Frontier.
Saibel waved her hand absentmindedly and saw Frondier off.
After that, he turned his head with sparks in his eyes.
Behind Cybel’s back were students who had returned from the teacher’s office a while ago.
Cybel’s burning eyes were directed especially at Elodie Aten.
“You both heard, right?”
….
“Date?”
After hearing Cybel’s explanation, Elodie’s expression naturally frowned.
Date and frontier. These are the two most incompatible words in the world.
“okay! “That Frontier guy wants to go on a date with the escort he hired!”
“If you said you were going to do it, you already went to do it.”
“Ugh, that’s right.”
Compared to Cybel’s fuss, Elodie was much calmer. Elodie said after thinking for a moment.
“Who did you hear that from?”
“huh? “I heard it from Selena.”
“If Selena said it was a date, then she accepted the request. I don’t think there will be any problem…”
Cybel pursed her lips at Elodie’s words.
Cybel is not particularly worried that Frontier will cause any trouble. I just feel like I have to do something.
Aten, who was listening, tilted his head.
“Well, a date is something where a man and a woman eat together or go shopping, right?”
“yes.”
“It’s like an outing?”
Suddenly it started to sound quite wholesome.
Cybel shook her head.
“No, Aten. I mean, it’s a date. “That’s what lovers do.”
“Lover…”
After pondering that word for a moment, Aten’s eyes widened.
“So, Mr. Frontier and Mr. Selena are currently lovers…!”
“I don’t know about that yet, but dating is something that people who are lovers or plan to become lovers do in the future! “It’s a confirmation of each other’s affection!”
“I see…”
Hearing those words, Aten thought for a moment.
Frontier and Selena. Escort recipient and escort. In that relationship, if you’re together for a long time and don’t have trust in each other, things won’t work out properly.
And since Selena was the closest of the Constel students during the winter break, they could have developed into a romantic relationship.
…I see. Because it’s a lover.
“So what are you going to do? “Do you want me to follow you?”
Elodie asked in a sighing voice. Of course, I wasn’t really asking.
“huh!”
Sibel’s answer was extremely cheerful and clear. Elodie’s bewilderment doubled.
I don’t think anything will happen if Cybel tails Frondier, but it’s clear that it’s not a very honorable thing to do. Elodie couldn’t stand and watch her classmate follow her classmate.
Elodie is quite concerned about the fact that Frontier and Selena are dating, but she doesn’t really want to interfere.
“Okay, you too, say something. “It’s a bit like being followed, isn’t it?”
Aten nodded at Elodie’s words.
“That’s right, Cybel.”
At times like this, it is also time for the princess of the empire, who clearly protects public and private affairs, to step forward.
“It must be difficult alone. “I will go with you.”
It wasn’t.
The princess of the empire had no use whatsoever.
“Aten… Are you going to follow me too? why?”
“I need to find out if those two are really lovers.”
“What should I do to check?”
“…I’m not trying to do anything.”
Aten shook his head. Her white hair flowed down her shoulders so softly.
“I just want to check.”
“…Ugh.”
Elodie sighed. Her head spun around.
When Cybel is following alone.
This is better. Because, for Cybel, ‘things generally tend to work out well.’ This tendency is ridiculously stronger than others, so even if they are followed, I don’t have to worry too much.
At least even if you get caught, you’ll be able to get out without much trouble.
The problem is Aten.
Aten doesn’t seem to have ever done anything like tailing, and he is more clumsy than he looks. It’s not surprising if something gets discovered by mistake.
…I can’t help it, I really don’t feel like it.
“good. “Then I’ll go too.”
Elodie made a decision.
They are not people who can be stopped by force.
At least you shouldn’t be embarrassed.
* * *
While heading to Terst Department Store, Frontier listened to Selena explain the personal equipment.
“As you know, my main weapon is a needle. Of course, it is a different type from the needle used to make clothes. “It’s long and strong enough that you can hold it with your whole hand.”
Frondier nodded. I’ve seen Selena’s needles up close. Selena even pointed it at Frondier’s neck to threaten him.
“The needle is stored behind the wrist, thigh, left waist, and ankle. The larger the quantity, the better. Even if there are a lot of them, it doesn’t have much effect on the weight.”
“Can I say that the order I just mentioned is the order to be used first?”
“Exactly. However, storing it on the wrist is for immediate use in an emergency, and the largest amount goes to the thigh and left waist. Depending on the type of clothing, it may not be worn on the wrist.”
“Something like clothes that don’t have sleeves or are too narrow?”
Selena nodded to Frontier’s question.
After hearing the explanation, Frontier asked as another question came to mind.
“How do I check the remaining quantity? If the battle is prolonged, needles will continue to be ejected, and you may run out at some point. Are you taking steps to visually check the remaining amount?”
“no. “I judge by weight.”
Selena lifted her wrist. A needle storage compartment was installed under the wrist inside the long sleeves of the school uniform.
“I have exactly 24 on this wrist right now.”
“Can you measure the weight of a single needle with your senses?”
“yes. So, it is best to wear clothes as light as possible. “To avoid mistaking the weight.”
“Are Constell’s school uniforms okay?”
“There is no problem at this level. However, some trimming should be done to the sleeves and waist. “Because there is not enough storage space.”
As Selena spoke, she showed Frontier the inside of her uniform sleeve. The sleeves were definitely wider than those worn by Frontier.
“Needles are always placed in multiples of 4. “When you hold it in your hand, exactly four are ejected.”
“You’re holding everything from your thumb to your fingers at once.”
Selena nodded.
Frontier recalled the first time Selena met Ampere.
Surprised by Ampere’s deadly attack, she took a step back and completed her battle stance, holding needles in both hands. I feel like I’ve discovered one of the secrets to that quick movement.
“Then what is important when choosing clothes is whether the clothes are wide enough to hide the needle storage. Additionally, it should have good durability. “No matter how much you hide it, it means nothing if your clothes get torn.”
Now that I think about it, Selena’s outfit was very bold, but it definitely covered the area where the needles were supposed to be hidden. I just didn’t notice because my eyes were drawn to her body first.
‘If you don’t necessarily want to show off your body, choosing clothes will be easier.’
Frondier said, having made up his mind.
“good. “First of all, I will choose the clothes first, so choose which one you like.”
“…Frondier chooses the clothes?”
Selena tilted her head. Because Frontier didn’t seem to have an expert knowledge of clothes.
But in fact, when it comes to ‘knowledge’, there are not many people who can surpass Frontier.
“don’t worry. “I will choose the best clothes.”
Frontier’s face was confident as he opened the door of the department store.
* * *
“…I can’t hear very well.”
Cybel narrowed her eyes and looked at Frondier from a distance.
The two are talking quite a bit, but I’m not sure what they’re saying.
“Can’t you come closer Elodie?”
“This is already a very over-the-top approach.”
Elodie sighed and said.
It is Elodie’s special concealment technique that is triple-layered with the soundproof magic ‘Wind Whisper’ and the magic that hinders access and hinders recognition of barriers.
If you put this much effort into it, most people would be able to pass right by, but Elodie decided that it would be difficult to get any closer than this.
‘For some reason, I feel like I’ll get caught.’
Especially Selena. Selena, whom Elodie has seen, has tremendous sense. For Selena, magic isn’t the problem and her sixth sense may be the first to detect Elodie’s presence.
“…I can’t hear it, but it’s something.”
Aten, who had been watching quietly, opened his mouth.
“huh?”
“Were those two that friendly?”
Aten checked Frondier’s face.
From what she could remember, Frontier always had a stern look on his face when he saw Selena. It could be said that he was overbearing and authoritarian.
It seemed natural since he was an employer, but it also seemed like a very strange thing.
It seemed as if the escort, who was supposed to be trustworthy, was showing suspicion, caution, and even hostility.
But Frontier is different now.
The look in Selena’s eyes is warm. Selena’s expression also seems to have become much softer.
“Oh, let’s go in. “It’s a department store.”
“What are you trying to buy?”
“I don’t know. But it feels extremely like a date.”
The conversation between Cybel and Aten may seem a bit stupid to a third party, but they did not say anything wrong.
“If you go inside, you’ll be able to get a little closer. “Because it’s a place with a lot of people and cover.”
“That’s right.”
After some time, they slowly opened the doors of the department store.
* * *
“…You really have eyes to see, Mr. Frontier.”
“That’s right.”
“I thought you were going to just skim through it and pick up something.”
“Everyone says that when they first see each other.”
Selena was amazed every time she saw the clothes Frontier brought. Considering the material and design of the clothes Selena had to wear, these were excellent items.
“I’m worried. “What should I buy?”
“Don’t worry about it here, just try it on.”
“…try it on?”
“That’s how you know, right?”
That’s true though.
It takes a considerable amount of time to change these clothes. Functionality must also be checked in many ways.
In the meantime, Selena wasn’t very keen on keeping Frontier waiting.
“are you okay.”
Frondier said.
“I have nothing to spare for you.”
“….”
After hearing Frondier’s words, Selena remembered something strange.
─You’re acting like you’re gradually falling in love with Frontier.
That’s what Hagley said.
─Act of loving Frondier until he spits out the next ancient language. Until now, you have tempted me, but now it is as if you are being seduced by Frondier.
─The reason Frondier won’t teach you the ancient language is also because he’s suspicious of you. But if I believe that I am loved by you, my doubts will go away. Because there is no reason to doubt the person who loves you.
Selena is more of a double spy between Cape Bay and Frondier.
Which one she chooses is up to her, and Selena hasn’t chosen one yet.
However, having been by Frondier’s side so far, Selena’s heart is leaning heavily towards Frondier.
Therefore, there is no need to follow Hagley’s orders one by one. It’s not like Frontier won’t teach you ancient languages.
Yes, that’s right.
‘Even if I follow that order.’
Act as if you are gradually falling in love with it.
I realized how difficult it was to do that through acting.
