The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 57

Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 57 Chapter

16 Attack (2)

A little late in the evening, uncharacteristically bright lights flickered in the Lishae Mansion.

The gentle sound of music and people’s laughter harmonized well and leaked out to the outside of the mansion.

“…Whew.”

Elodie secretly sighed.

In the Lisha family, social circles like this are often formed.

Judging by the family’s authority, it seems like he would do well in Roach, but the head of the family is very frugal.

Elodie meticulously smoothed the frills that went all the way to the inside of the collar.

Still, it’s a dress I wear quite often, but I still can’t get used to it.

“Have you gained weight…”

I was planning on making sure no one heard, but men came up to me like ghosts and added one word at a time.

“Is that possible? Elodie, you look very beautiful today as well.”

“sure. Even if you gained a little weight, Elodie’s beauty has some flaws -”

Are you calling that a compliment?

Elodie pulled the corners of her mouth into a smile.

…Actually, it’s okay to deal with these men.

How must they feel when they have to give shameful praise to a 17-year-old girl?

Even if he truly has feelings for Elodie, he has no choice but to repeat outdated and stereotypical lines in social settings.

Elodie is the supreme jewel born from the Lishae family.

If I truly tried to reach out to her like that, other families wouldn’t just sit by and watch.

Because of this, everyone around Elodie naturally keeps their distance from her.

Ironically, the men here also know that expressing interest by giving routine compliments is the best way to keep that distance.

──Because of this, whenever this kind of situation occurs, Elodie feels desperately lonely.

The women are filled with jealousy and envy, or on the contrary, they are obsessed with an inferiority complex and bow down to a low attitude that Elodie does not want.

Men notice their surroundings and neither get closer nor further away from her.

Things like flattery and bravado are good.

You don’t get hurt by those things.

The ‘fact’ itself, that no one is telling the truth to her, is simply thrust upon her.

So, I feel infinitely lonely and infinitely bored.

‘…Aren’t you going to come this time too?’

Elodie looked around, pretending to listen to the men.

She was looking for Frontier.

The only person who could possibly help her breathe in a situation like this was Frontier.

Although Constel has some noble friends, it is not easy to participate in the social circles organized by the Lishae family, and even if they do come, they are busy interacting with children of other families.

However, the frontier has never shown its face in social circles.

The first reason is his unique laziness and lethargy, and the second reason is that the Roach family does not touch Frondier when it comes to social circles.

‘…No. You can’t say it’s laziness. Elodie, you shouldn’t think like that.’

Elodie changed her mind.

Until now, I thought it was just laziness, but the last mana depletion incident opened up another possibility.

Frontier is not lazy, but rather is working like crazy behind the scenes.

…although it is still only a possibility.

In any case, it is unlikely that Frontier will appear again this time.

Recently, Constel’s image has been changing little by little, but that’s a completely different issue from the social world.

Moreover, Frontier and Elodie’s older brother have a very bad relationship.

Just looking at that alone, the probability that Frondier will come to the Richae mansion approaches zero.

I guess so.

Squeak-

“…Uh.”

Elodie’s voice leaked out.

A man quietly opened the door of the mansion and entered. It caught everyone’s attention, even if it wasn’t Elodie.

An elegant and classy black suit. Tastefully trimmed black hair.

The eyes, which always looked sleepy, are transformed into a mysterious charm when decorated.

Frondier approached the head of the family, Lisha, and greeted her politely.

“Oh Mr. Frontier. I’m really glad you came. “It would be nice to see you often in the future.”

“Don’t we see each other often at my house?”

“Haha, are you asking me to meet you? “Shouldn’t you let everyone here know about you?”

The head of the family, Ortel de Richae, was truly happy to see Frondier.

What is more welcome is his political influence than the frontier itself.

The family itself is unsightly, but behind it is a family called Roah.

Here, if Frontier establishes good relationships with other families, Ortel can also get a share of the spoonful.

In fact, there were nobles already whispering about Frondier’s appearance.

For most people here, this is their first time seeing the Frontier in person.

Since Frontier was, at least in appearance, that of a complete nobleman, the ladies who were whispering with a somewhat flushed look stood out.

“Then please excuse me.”

“Okay, keep looking around.”

Frondier bowed as politely as he had when he arrived, then

turned and walked straight towards Elodie.

“…!”

Elodie was surprised without knowing why.

It was the Frontier I always saw at Constel.

Moreover, he is an even more familiar face since I met him during the last Aktober incident.

When Frontier stood in front of Elodie, Elodie pursed her lips for a moment.

I was wondering whether to treat him as a friend or treat him with noble courtesy.

The moment Frontier’s mouth opened and he was about to say something, the music changed.

People came out in pairs, held each other’s hands, and walked.

It was a time of martial arts.

Frontier confirmed this and smiled awkwardly.

“Then shall we dance? miss.”

Frondier asked as if something suddenly occurred to him.

Elodie nodded at the unexpectedly gentle tone, forgetting what to say in response.

Frontier led Elodie’s hand and joined the dance.

Frontier was neither particularly good nor bad at dancing.

To put it in a good way, I wasn’t anxious, but in a bad way, there was a risk that the other person would be bored.

However, in many ways, Elodie was never bored. While rolling her eyes here and there, Elodie opened her mouth.

“It’s awkward.”

“what?”

“What are you and me doing here like this?”

It was almost meaningless, but Frondier nodded as if he understood.

“The collar bothers me.”

Frondier spoke and smoothed his collar with one hand.

Touching your clothes with one hand while dancing is rude and goes too far.

Elodie somehow laughed when she saw Frondier acting similar to her earlier.

“so? Why did you come here? It doesn’t suit you. “Have you suddenly become interested in social circles?”

Elodie asked, feeling a little relaxed.

“No way. “I came to see you.”

Frondier answered plainly.

It was so plain that it could have been misunderstood.

Elodie glared at Frondier with mischievous eyes.

“Can you be more specific?”

“I came to ask for your help. “The only person I can trust is you.”

As expected, it was a misunderstanding, but it was better than before.

And for Elodie, this is better to hear.

“What help… wow!”

Frondier pulled Elodie closer.

It seemed like a natural dance move to others, but Elodie unexpectedly raised her voice.

“What is it? suddenly?”

“There is an attack on Constell.”

“…!”

Frondier whispered into Elodie’s ear.

For all the information he got.

What Aless revealed, the disciplinary committee’s teachers’ expectations for future measures, etc.

At first, Elodie’s expression was somewhat shaken as she listened to the story, but as it went on, it became more expressionless.

I realized that the current expression of the story should not change.

Elodie asked after hearing the whole story.

“So why do you do that to me?”

“When the attack begins, stop the monsters as splendidly as possible. So that students and teachers can immediately realize that this is an ‘incident.’”

“I heard that teachers are also taking measures because they don’t know when it will start?”

“I know.”

Frontier makes a clear and assertive statement.

There is no emphasis there.

He doesn’t even have an accent to convince you that what he says is true, so it’s more trustworthy.

“If you know when, you can tell the teachers.”

“The teachers won’t believe it. Because there is no evidence. “There is no way to prove it.”

“There is no evidence and no way to prove it, but do you think I will believe you?”

“You don’t have to trust me.”

“…What are you talking about?”

There, Frondier fell again.

This was also a natural dance process.

“It’s okay because I trust you.”

“…I learned some strange words again from somewhere.”

Frondier just smiled at Elodie’s sarcasm.

“At that time, you will realize that it is not a strange thing to say.”

* * *

The morning sky was gloomy.

It doesn’t look like it’s going to rain, but the sky was filled with endless clouds.

…the clouds are darker with no rain.

With a new thought in mind, I prepared to leave.

As usual, it was time to head to Constel.

But today I took a slightly different path.

Then,

“Where are you going?”

Malia caught it.

Malia was standing at the top of the hill I was heading toward, as if waiting for me.

“This road is not the road to Constell. Are you trying to ding?”

“…Then the same goes for Mom.”

“Hehe, that’s right.”

Malia laughed.

It was a flawless laugh.

“How did you know I would come this way?”

“There’s nothing Mom doesn’t know.”

“Are you going to stop me?”

“Why would I stop you?”

Malia ran a hand through her long hair.

I could smell a familiar scent from the figure slowly walking towards me.

“It’s starting, right? “Attack by monsters.”

“…yes.”

“Are you trying to stop that?”

“It’s up to other students to stop it.”

I’m not preventing raids.

Eliminating the cause.

Sigh –

Malia’s hand touched my cheek.

“If it were you before, it would have been an excuse to run away.”

Okay, I got it. The identity of this familiar scent.

“Your eyes now are not the same as before.”

This was my mother’s scent.

Although it smells completely different from my mom’s before coming here.

Nevertheless.

“Why don’t you cover it? instead.”

Malia’s hand that touched my cheek slowly moved to cover my right eye.

Averill Family Bloodline Skill

Sense Sharing

Her hand touched my right eye and glowed.

But I didn’t feel anything.

Still, I know what this means.

Malia lived under the name ‘Malia Averill’ until she married Ampere.

And the Averill family has a bloodline skill that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Just as Bala’s descendant Fili was able to have ‘foreknowledge’.

Malia’s sense sharing allows her to share one of the five senses with others.

This time my perspective was shared.

Malia can also see what I see with my own eyes.

“Don’t borrow your eyes. “So that I can come to you at any time.”

Malia, who said that, had the face of charity.

I said with an embarrassed face.

“Please don’t come to me and protect Constell.”

“of course. “If you come without getting hurt.”

That may seem difficult, though.

I blinked for a moment and said.

“I will.”

Boom –

At that time, the sound of a vehicle’s engine was heard from afar.

A luxury sedan stopped in front of us and the back window was opened.

“Are you ready?”

It was Philly.

Fili waved his hand at Malia in front of me.

It didn’t seem surprising that Malia was there.

“Then I’ll go.”

“Please come back.”

I bowed my head to Malia and then turned around.

When I got into the car, the sedan started right away.

“Then where should I go?”

“3km from the west of the imperial family. Please stop there.”

“Is my daughter there?”

“no. After getting off there, I’ll walk a bit. “Let’s send the car to the imperial family.”

“Can’t we go there by car?”

“We have to go into the woods and the car can’t go in.”

This is one of the reasons for sending the car to the imperial family.

In fact, the more important reason is that there is a risk that Elysia will discover the vehicle and run away.

If that happens, Elysia will go to the royal family and instead frame Fili.

Such troublesome situations must be avoided.

“Hmm.”

Fili nodded, as if he was convinced.

“I still can’t believe it. “One of my two daughters is a criminal.”

Philly says with a sigh.

Fili still doesn’t know that Elysia is the culprit.

“…Can I ask you one question, Fili?”

“What is it?”

“Can Mr. Philly really treat his own daughter as an enemy?”

I know how Philly would answer this question.

So it has no meaning from the perspective of acquiring information.

But it is something that must be said.

I had to ask this question for Philly himself.

“Of course. I just exclude anyone who is my enemy, including my daughter.”

…yes.

This answer is correct.

This is a real answer that reflects her true feelings.

──But this much is certain.

Philly’s thoughts are still loose.

You will soon find out that it is not that simple.
