Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 38 Chapter

10 The Empress’s Eyes (4)

Lunchtime.

Quinier de Viette was listening to her friend Anne’s story as she headed to the restaurant.

“You heard about Queenie too, right? “I heard the 3rd princess transferred to the school.”

“What are you rude third princess? “Then what will you do if you hear it?”

“Hey, where is your status within Constell?”

That’s true.

Although Quinier thought that Anne’s words were correct, she was realizing in real time that human affairs did not work that way.

Aten Terst.

As soon as the news of her transfer was heard, the surrounding students went into an uproar.

How to approach them, what gift to give, whether it would be appropriate to invite them to an after-school meal, etc.

Third graders who should be Constel’s role models were added.

‘Well, I understand how you feel.’

In fact, even Queenie herself is naturally looking for a way to approach Aten Terst.

As a merchant, I know the value of personal connections better than anyone else.

Since it is a connection to the royal family, it is worth trying even if it does not work out well.

I arrived at the restaurant while chatting with Anne.

“…Eh?”

“her?”

The two looked at the scene in the restaurant from a distance.

A very unique scenery unfolded before their eyes.

No, it was a sight I had never seen before.

Anne asked fussily.

“Isn’t that Frontier?”

“…is that so?”

Frontier was sitting in front of a table.

There was no one around.

Well, Frontier has a bad reputation, so what’s surprising about that?

…There was just one person sitting right next to me.

“Over there. Queenie.”

“huh.”

“I only heard about it but never actually saw it. Queenie.”

“huh.”

“Aten, you said you were white from head to toe, right? “Everything from hair, eyebrows, eyes, skin.”

“…huh.”

The two looked at the woman sitting next to Frontier again.

“…So that’s Aten?”

* * *

I’m tired.

It’s been a long time since I felt this tired, even though I wasn’t in combat.

I was eating while feeling everyone’s eyes on me.

…I don’t know what it tastes like.

I glanced to the side.

“….”

“….”

“….”

Aten is sitting next to me.

When I was in class, Aten sat motionless next to me even after lunch time.

Then, when I got up, he got up and when I walked, he walked after me.

Then, he finally came to the restaurant and sat next to me.

With your back straight, you have the perfect posture as if you were drawing a picture.

It must be one of the etiquettes thoroughly taught by the imperial family.

…but.

“Aten.”

“yes.”

“Aren’t you eating?”

You can’t eat in that posture.

After hearing my words, Aten stayed still for a moment, or rather, was dazed, and then opened his eyes as if he suddenly realized.

“okay. “You need to eat.”

“…No, there’s no need to do that.”

There’s no need to do that, but you brought rice on the plate. With your hands.

Aten listened to me and only then began to eat.

It seems like I entered the command to eat.

What is a robot?

If you look at her face quietly eating like that, she is the ‘snow woman’ itself, which is often compared to others.

It seems cold and merciless, yet it is spotlessly beautiful.

A cold beauty who seems to radiate her beauty because she does not allow anyone to approach her.

‘If only I knew why you’re doing this to me, I’ll feel at ease.’

Wasn’t Fili sent to get information about Dragon Heart from me?

Then wouldn’t it be normal to talk to me warmly or subtly ask me a question?

He’s not talking to me or trying to do anything.

It just persistently follows me around.

It’s like they’re watching me.

What is this, is it bothering me?

Is this a new tactic of the Aktober guys?

“what…? Frontier?”

Then I heard a familiar voice.

When I looked up, I saw Cybel standing there with a puzzled look on her face.

Cybel is here!

The savior has come!

“uh? Aten Terst? uh? “Frondier, when did you and Aten…”

“It’s not what I did.”

I don’t know why either.

Even during our conversation, Aten was only focused on eating.

Seeing that, Sibel slightly tilted her head and said hello.

“Um, Aten Terst? hello.”

Cybel’s gestures and facial expressions appeal to people of all ages and genders.

After receiving that greeting, Aten put down his spoon and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Aten spoke in an ice-cold voice.

“It is true that my name is Aten Terst, but you are mistaken.”

Oh wow, you definitely look like a snow woman when you do this.

The image I was seeing in the game is still maintained.

Is it possible to see a scene where he ignores Cybel with his high-handed tone and cold voice and attitude befitting the royal family?

“Are you mistaken about the car?”

“I’m just a first-year student who just transferred to school, so the title ‘nim’ doesn’t really suit me.”

“…Huh?”

“Please just call me comfortably. “I heard that Constell doesn’t care about social status.”

Saibel is dumbfounded by Aten’s words.

But I was also dumbfounded.

Soon, Sibel smiled brightly and got closer to Aten.

“Wow, Aten is so kind! “I was worried it might be chilly!”

“Um, is that so?”

Cybel reaches the highest level of affinity in an instant.

Aten accepts Saibel comfortably.

Looking at those two, I held my face in despair.

what’s this.

Is this the Aten Terst?

Where has that cold-hearted Aten shown when playing as Aster gone?

“So you came here right after you transferred to Aten? “Then where do you sleep?”

“As of yesterday, we have prepared a mansion nearby.”

“So you’re not sure what’s here?”

“I did get an explanation from your personal assistant once.”

“Then why don’t you go shopping with me after school? “I’ll guide you all the way!”

…The conversation was connected, but it was truly a conversation between the rich and the common people.

I understand the content, but I don’t understand the scale.

“Well, I’m sorry, but shopping might be difficult.”

That’s right.

Anyway, I wouldn’t go shopping with a girl I’ve never met before.

But as I said that, Aten was looking at me.

…What you looking at.

“Because I’m going to accompany Mr. Frondier after school.”

“…yes?”

It sounded so absurd that I asked that question without realizing it.

Cybel looked at me with her mouth open.

“Frondier. “Are you amazing?”

“What did you mean?”

Whatever it means, you’re wrong?

‘No, it’s not the time to talk to him.’

When I came to my senses, I spoke to Aten.

“No, what do you mean by that, Aten? “Are you sure you’re going to follow me around after school?”

At my words, Aten put his napkin away and sighed.

“Mr. Frontier, that’s not it.”

Oh, too?

You’re not following me around after school, are you?

As if living up to my expectations, Aten spoke softly.

“As I said before, I am just a first year student at Constell, so there is no need to add the letter ‘nim’.”

“hey!”

“But it’s a bit weird to suddenly be called by that name.”

Why can’t we communicate?!

* * *

-Beware Aster Frontier de Roach.

Aster was lost in thought.

Baldur’s words encountered in the sanctuary.

‘What do you mean?’

Aster is not swayed by rumors and reputation.

I tend to trust my own eyes and ears more.

That judgment has never been wrong.

Frontier was like that too.

‘Human Sloth’ No matter what, I got to know him well by actually meeting him face to face, talking to him a few times, and exploring dungeons together.

Frontier is a proper human being.

At least it wasn’t to the point of being given the humiliating nickname human sloth.

‘I’ve seen a lot more people who pretend to be sincere while being much more lazy than that, and who engage in incompetent topics.’

Aster was one of the people in Constel who valued Frontier the most.

Therefore, it was not easy to understand Baldur’s words.

However, it was impossible to ignore the words of Baldur, the master of divine power.

‘Beware of the frontier simply means that the frontier is my enemy.’

However, Frontier received only help.

From the fake Mystiltein incident to dungeon exploration.

The dungeon actually offered to accompany the dungeon in return for the Mystiltein incident, but instead it made Frondier suffer even more.

In the meantime, he saved Cybel.

‘Why is Frontier my enemy?’

on purpose?

To deceive me?

Otherwise, should I not believe in God?

Aster bit his lower lip.

Aster is a strong enough character even without Baldur’s divine power.

However, he himself knows very well how great a blessing it is to have received Baldur’s power.

A world where God exists.

Aster was fully aware of how heavy it was to not believe in God’s words.

“Aster Aster.”

Aster stopped thinking when he heard the voice calling him.

In front, my classmate Runia Frisell was offering ice cream.

“Choco?”

“…Oh yeah.”

Aster, who didn’t care about anything, took the ice cream without thinking.

Runia asked while eating strawberry ice cream.

“What are you thinking like that?”

“Well, what do you think about Runia Frontier?”

“Ugh, Frontier again. These days, just talk about him. “Have you already forgotten that you came here because of him?”

Yes.

It started when Cybel Forte obtained a ticket to the lower level dungeon.

At that time, Cybel nominated Aster, and Aster nominated Frontier.

“If you hadn’t done that, I could have gone to the dungeon with you!”

“So, as an apology, I followed you shopping. And there was nothing special about the dungeon reward.”

The only thing that was meaningful was the sanctuary, and only those with divine powers could receive its benefits.

Runia has no divine powers, so she is out of the question.

But Runia didn’t seem to like that, biting down on her ice cream and knitting her eyebrows together.

“Ugh! you idiot! Compensation is not the problem! “You don’t have any sense.”

“…okay?”

‘So you’re saying it’s a shame that you didn’t get to experience things like fighting in dungeons or disarming traps?’

Aster was thinking like that.

It was definitely an idea worthy of a game protagonist.

“So I’m asking again, what do you think of Frontier?”

“…You are amazing too.”

Runia looked at Aster dumbfounded and then sighed.

Runia raised one eye as if she was thinking and said.

“Well, I can’t say anything because I’ve never met you in person. If it lives up to its reputation, it’s disappointing. If not, it’s just so-so. “Between a minus and a point?”

“It’s so salty.”

“They say I’m lazy and incompetent. He said he believes that and is doing it because he is a prestigious nobleman.”

Runia is Aster’s childhood friend.

A person who has a very high probability of becoming a heroine.

Therefore, he is also the person with whom Aster talks the most.

I heard a lot about Frontier from Aster.

He is a man different from his reputation.

A proper man who is responsible and considerate and does not leave injured people alone.

‘I heard it, but I have to only half believe Aster’s words.’

Runia knows Aster well.

Aster is so kind.

Although he prides himself on having an eye for people, Aster has yet to meet a truly evil person.

‘As expected, I need to be by Aster’s side’

when Runia thought that far.

She stopped when she saw the scene before her.

I stopped thinking.

Because it was a very strange sight.

“…Aster, I’ve only heard of what he looks like.”

“huh?”

“Is that pure white man Aten Terst?”

“…what?”

Only then did Aster look ahead.

Across the street was Aten, walking in pure white.

And next to it,

“…Frondier?”

“Eh? “Him?!”

Runia was surprised by Aster’s muttering and asked back.

That man walking next to Aten is Frontier?

That sleepy-looking face?

It’s just as rumored!

‘Besides, Aten is chasing after him.’

What situation is that?

“huh?”

At that time, Frontier looked this way.

He spotted Aster and raised his hand.

“Hey Aster.”

Runia was a little embarrassed by that innocent attitude.

I didn’t know it because I only heard about it, but it seems like I became really close with Aster.

“Frondier. Who is next to you or behind you?”

“Oh, you’ll see.”

The moment Frontier was about to introduce Aten, his hand stopped.

It was because of Aten’s cold face.

“…Aten?”

Frontier called out to her, but Aten did not answer.

Her cold eyes were aimed at Aster.

At that time, Frontier remembered.

What I already knew.

Nothing has changed.

It’s just that his ‘viewpoint’ is wrong.

──When you play as Aster and encounter Aten for the first time.

Always face her cold eyes.
