The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 192

Chapter 62 Date (2)

Selena followed my instructions and went into the locker room to change clothes.

These days, it’s strange that there’s a side of people who act docilely in strange places. I’m not sure about the standards yet. He’s usually quite stubborn.

‘by the way.’

This is really difficult. It was uncomfortable to look at it, so I looked up at the ceiling of the department store.

─I noticed it. Follow me.

Is it Elodie Cybel Aten? I never thought I would be the first to notice something that Selena didn’t notice.

I had all sorts of experiences when I broke the fragments of Helheim and absorbed all of its mana. I think it was the influence of that time.

Now I feel everything supernatural with my five senses.

At first, I thought I could only see beings from other worlds, like ghosts or gods. But beyond that, I could see things like auras and mana flow.

I had a really hard time adjusting to this during spring break. It wasn’t that I couldn’t see it, it was that I had a hard time seeing it too well. It caught my eye even when I didn’t really want to see it. I couldn’t turn the settings on and off like a game.

I heard a story once, but it is said that pigs cannot raise their heads, so they cannot look at the sky unless someone helps them.

Now I am like a pig who raised his head and looked at the sky. Once you have already seen it and can see it, it becomes difficult to look away.

A pig looking at the sky. It’s a very easy analogy to understand.

‘It doesn’t seem like he’s trying to do anything in particular.’

The three being followed just hang around nearby and don’t do anything special. However, Elodie’s magic was so thorough that people passing by often bumped into her without being able to spot her.

Even after getting hit, I see the kids just walking away without knowing what they hit. They are having a hard time.

Seeing that Elodie is also there, it doesn’t seem like they are just playing around. If that’s the case, there’s no way they could cover it up so thoroughly.

‘It’s because of me, after all.’

Recently, my nickname changed a little and became ‘Sloth.’ Now, among students, it has gone from being an object of contempt to an object of fear.

Maybe that influenced those guys too. Maybe he’s worried that I’ll do something to Selena.

You never know what a powerless guy might do when he gains power. In particular, Elodie, who knew Frondier from his childhood, would know that better.

Selena and I are in an escort relationship with my employer, so it’s a pretty persuasive story where I, who have the upper hand in the power relationship, take advantage of that to intimidate Selena. That frontier is me though.

‘Let’s leave it alone.’

Cybel is a stormy guy who can do whatever he wants, and Aten has a fierce side, so I’m anxious, but as long as they’re together with Elodie, there’s nothing to worry about.

Elodie was the character I trusted the most in the game Etius from start to finish.

Probably not just me. Although she cannot be a party member of the main character Aster, that is why players have a lot of trust in Elodie. As a result, Elodie achieves achievements comparable to Aster’s party.

‘More than anything, I’m not going to do anything.’

It will take some time to choose Selena’s outfit, but once it is done, she will go straight home. By then, those guys will have dispersed with peace of mind.

So today we will move on to a small happening that cannot even be considered a trivial event.

“Hey, Mr. Frontier.”

Then I heard Selena’s voice. The voice was getting louder and louder, so I almost couldn’t hear it.

“Oh Selena. “Have you all changed?”

I turned to look at Selena.

And it froze for a moment.

What Selena wore was a white dress. To be honest, it’s a completely different style from the clothes she’s worn so far. It was a clothing that had a strong image of neatness rather than being big and airy and sexy.

I was a little worried about whether it would suit Selena, but it was as if it was natural and other concerns arose.

‘…I don’t think I can hide my body very well.’

Exposure is almost completely gone. The skirt is a bit short, but it’s inevitable due to Selena’s way of hiding weapons on her thighs, and it’s actually average.

However, apart from that, it was of little help in terms of hiding the body.

Instead of breasts or hips, delicate shoulders and legs stood out. Since the proportions were good in the first place, hiding the exposure made the overall silhouette stand out.

After changing her clothes like this, I can understand more clearly what purpose Mangot had for bringing Selena closer to Frondier.

“What do you think? “I’ve never worn clothes like this before.”

Even if I don’t say it, I feel incredibly awkward. She seemed anxious about how many times she checked her skirt and sleeves to see if she was wearing them properly.

“matches well.”

“Is that so?”

“What do you think of yourself? “I think it will be less embarrassing than the clothes I’ve been wearing so far.”

“…I wasn’t embarrassed to begin with.”

“Gurachi, don’t lie.”

Of course, what Selena said is a lie.

The biggest reason for buying Selena’s clothes this time was because she had been feeling uncomfortable with her clothes since a certain point. Not for functional reasons, but for psychological reasons.

Selena was originally sent to seduce me, so she changed her mindset and approached me.

He probably didn’t even see me as a man while he was trying to seduce me. It must have been a step that had to be overcome to carry out a mission.

If I were to put it my way, it would have been nothing more or less than a quest NPC.

However, after the temptation failed, and more precisely, after I led Selena in a different direction, the situation changed.

He has no intention of seducing me, but when that situation arises, the only clothes he wears are those he wears to tempt me.

I am no longer a quest NPC, but another direction for her as she persuades me to restore my clan and family, and I am a teacher and escort who teaches me ancient languages.

It must not have been easy to dress like I did before with someone like that in front of me. However, I can’t tell Mangot.

“It’s awkward because it’s your first time wearing it, right? “Is there somewhere uncomfortable?”

“…doesn’t exist.”

“Okay, I’ll buy it.”

“Do you still have a lot of clothes to wear?”

“If you don’t notice a problem with the clothes, you will buy them. In some cases, you may be able to purchase all of the clothes you selected earlier.”

Selena’s small mouth opened at my words. Then she moved her body a few times and looked at various parts of the clothes.

“Ah, Mr. Frontier. “Looking at it again now, this ankle area”

“If you’re lying, I’ll burn all the clothes you’ve been wearing? “Then I have no choice but to buy clothes even if I don’t want to.”

When I spoke, Selena immediately closed her mouth. I said smiling at that.

“You don’t have to worry about my money. “Because I won’t cut the money I’ll give you just because I buy a few of them.”

“It’s not because of that.”

“Other than that, you don’t have to worry about my money for any reason.”

I turned my attention to the employee. An employee just saw the look in my eyes and quickly rushed over to help Selena pay for the clothes she was wearing.

Security at Terst Department Store is magic, so it was quite convenient to be able to make purchases right away without having to change clothes again.

“When you have time to worry about such things, please help me by wearing better clothes and better equipment.”

“…All right.”

Only then did Selena nod her head in understanding.

But then he rolled his eyes here and there as if he was watching and said.

“By the way, Mr. Frontier.”

“huh?”

“I told you this last time, but that tone of voice.”

ah.

As expected, the tension I had with Selena has eased since winter break. I wonder if this is even Mangot’s ploy, but that makes no sense.

But no matter what, it is better to maintain a strict tone toward Selena. It’s important for me to calm down and it’s natural for Mangot to look at it.

If Mangot finds out that I’m relaxed around Selena and tries to do strange things, I get more tired.

So I tried to go back to my normal speaking style.

‘…ah.’

When I thought about it, I was being followed.

There were suspicions and watchful eyes, wondering if I might have done something strange to Selena.

In order to reassure those guys, it would be best to avoid using a tone that is too high-handed.

“No, Selena.”

“yes?”

“I’ll say this today.”

“…yes?”

I smiled and looked at Selena.

With a kind face, kind smile, and kind heart.

Today I am a good man.

“Let’s stay like this for just today.”

* * *

Inside the cafe inside the department store.

Saibel sucks on his coffee with a dissatisfied face. Elodie sighed as she looked at that pouty face.

“Now let’s go back. “You’ve seen everything there is to see, right?”

“….”

Cybel did not answer. Elodie looked at Aten. Aten’s face didn’t show any signs, but it was clear that he was shadowed.

ha. Elodie sighed. I can’t help it. Here, you have to speak directly.

“You guys would know if you saw it, right?”

“….”

“That’s a 100% proper date.”

“Ahh! Do not say!”

Cybel lowered her face as if in pain. At that sight, Elodie looked across the cafe.

There, Selena and Frontier were facing each other and talking.

Frondier speaks with soft eyes, and Selena stutters while feeling a little embarrassed. They were truly a lovely, fresh, and cute couple.

“I knew it was a date… I knew…”

Cybel muttered. Even if it was painful, it seemed like he was the type of person who would only be able to resolve his frustration if he saw it in front of his eyes.

“That guy can talk so sweetly…”

Cybel looked at Frondier with resentment. Elodie was a little surprised by that appearance. This was because Cybel’s reaction was so understandable and honest.

Within Constel’s reputation, Cybel is said to be the most ‘fox-like’ among the students.

Of course, there was a mixture of goodwill and malice in that evaluation, but it was an indisputable fact that Cybel had the coquetry and charm of Constell’s best.

What is the look of Cybel’s gaze towards Frondier after shedding all of her image?

“Mr. Cybel.”

While Elodie’s thoughts were flowing, Aten spoke first.

“Does Mr. Cybel like Mr. Frontier?”

“Eck.”

Elodie was surprised instead. You care so much about what other people say, so casually…!

“…I think so.”

This was Cybel’s answer. However, the expression on his face was a bit strange. The statement that it seemed like that wasn’t because I was embarrassed, but because I wasn’t sure.

“Does it seem like it doesn’t seem like it?”

“No, um. “I’m sure I like you, though.”

Cybel looked at Frontier.

Cybel was almost always accurately aware of her own thoughts. She is a woman who knows her appearance well and knows how to use it to look prettier or cuter.

In the process, he received love and jealousy from many people. It would be a lie to say that Cybel’s heart was not shaken at all during the process.

But Frontier felt different from the men Cybel had met so far.

─Because I don’t believe in fate.

Those words were now becoming a central point for Cybel. It was an indisputable fact that she was loved by fate, but Cybel was determined not to depend on it.

“…Frondier.”

Cybel said as if he had made up his mind.

“Because it makes me embarrassed.”

“…?”

Aten and Elodie looked at each other.

…Does that mean you absolutely hate Frontier?

As they tilted their heads to guess the meaning of Cybel’s words,

“Listen up, you all!”

Suddenly, a loud sound rang out inside the department store.

The voice contained an aura, making it seem like he was a person of considerable skill.

“I am Jacob, the third finger of Mangot!”

The people around me held their breath at that sudden self-introduction. Even if we don’t know the exact identity of Mangot, its notoriety is famous.

“A total of 45 bombs have been planted in this department store right now! If you don’t want to die, kneel down and hit your head! I’m the one who automatically explodes when I die, so don’t think nonsense! “There are other people in this department store than me!”

Elodie Aten Cybel frowned at the man’s shout. If that is true, regardless of the man’s skills, he has no choice but to follow orders right now.

“Elodie was there a bomb or something?”

Cybel whispered. Thanks to ‘Whispering the Wind’, my voice is no longer heard by others, but for some reason, my voice becomes quieter.

“I don’t know. “I couldn’t feel the mana, but some bombs don’t use mana at all.”

A bomb made with simple gunpowder and a circuit. This is rather rare in Etius, but it is not non-existent.

What should I do? Elodie shook her head. Terst Department Store is a department store frequented by high-ranking nobles and sometimes even the royal family.

If what the criminal was after was money, I’d be happy, but since he said ‘mangot’, the probability of that happening is low.

“Move quickly! “Unless you want to look through everything.”

“Wow.”

Wow!

Immediately after hearing a somewhat familiar, drawn-out sound, something hit the back of Jacob’s head.

Despite his confident face and voice, Jacob fell headfirst to the floor. I was completely stunned and didn’t seem to move.

──And nothing happened at the department store.

“The bad guy is down. Wow. “I must have been punished by heaven. I’m so lucky.”

What followed was more emotionless muttering than recitation from a textbook.

There was no confirmation as to who knocked Jacob unconscious.

While everyone was slowly kneeling, Frondier was the only one sitting with his chin resting.
