The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 393
Chapter 393
The high-ranking combat training ground we use is a huge facility. However, it was not a place where permission was granted to anyone.
There were only two of us inside the area we decided to use for confidentiality and security reasons, but there were of course facilities inside, including shower facilities.
I tend to take a shower when I go back, so I always bring a change of clothes with me. And not just one, but several.
It was still around 12 o’clock because I had just eaten breakfast and came early.
It’s time to eat lunch, but we still train after lunch, so I thought I’d spend the whole day here doing combat training.
however.
“I want to stop today.”
I was back in the waiting room after taking a shower first, and Ellen came back and said that.
It doesn’t look like a pout. Because my mouth didn’t come out.
At this rate, I don’t think you’ll want to do it again tomorrow, saying you’re unwilling?
I think something I said unintentionally made Ellen think about something she hadn’t thought of before?
It seemed like he was thinking for the first time in a year that I might be the same as if he had smelled my sweat while we were tired of bumping into each other.
I thought it was nothing because I hadn’t said anything until now. He just didn’t say anything, but he seemed to think that he must have smelled it to the point where he was sick of it.
Ellen didn’t say anything about what she was thinking as she stared at her white toes still wearing slippers.
“no… … . hey… … .”
“… … .”
“I just said… … . It smells like sweat… … .”
“don’t do it… … .”
Ellen’s voice trembled.
“Ah, nothing… … . don’t say anything… … .”
Ellen’s cheeks were stained bright red as she lowered her head.
Ellen’s mentality was cracked because she mistreated the tip of her tongue once.
I forgot, Ellen is also 18 after all.
It’s like being sensitive to that kind of thing in the middle of the day… … .
Ellen’s mentality exploded at the one word, the smell of sweat.
Even Ellen couldn’t blame me because she brought it up first.
how
We didn’t fight for any other reason, didn’t we get into a situation where we couldn’t practice swordsmanship together because of the smell of sweat?
Did you really not? Isn’t that a situation where you can care about that?
But in this situation, anything you say is bad news.
I- I’m sorry for saying that.
Ellen – You mean it smelled?
It comes to the conclusion that there is no need to apologize.
Me – Didn’t you smell the sweat?
Ellen – Then why did you say that? that it happened too I’m sorry, that’s what I’m saying. So you’re saying it stinks?
Very likely to have the same result.
Me – I did smell like sweat. But isn’t it natural that sweat smells when you sweat?
This is the worst thing to say even without imagining what the answer will be.
In the end, no matter what he said, it was inevitable to shock Ellen’s mentality.
So I sat still, unable to do this or that, and Ellen was just bowing her head in a state on the verge of a shameful death.
our dumplings.
In the past, if something like this happened, you would sweat, so you would smell the sweat. It would have been like this.
turned into a girl
But boy
Just fidgeting on tiptoe and not knowing what to do.
cute.
Cute is cute, but I can’t let my cracked mentality turn to powder.
And there was a feeling of guilt rising like a reaction to scare me from thinking about it.
I have to tell you.
I have to tell you now
I couldn’t get my mouth off.
“Reinhardt.”
Ellen calls me, wriggling on her toes.
“uh… … . huh.”
“You are a bit strange these days.”
It seemed that the reason Ellen insisted on doing it this far was because she felt that way. Ellen cautiously turns her head toward me.
“What’s going on?”
There’s no way Ellen didn’t know that the tip of my sword was shaking.
So Ellen waited patiently and finally asked.
have to say
“… … .”
But in the end I couldn’t say anything.
I couldn’t figure out how to get lucky.
Ellen looked at me quietly, then came closer to me and gently hugged my neck. The body odor from Ellen’s hair and the nape of her neck tickled the tip of her nose.
“It can be unsettling.”
Maybe he thought I was nervous because it seemed like a close battle with the demon king was approaching and the intensity of the training was getting stronger.
Ellen hugs my neck and whispers in my ear.
“It will be fine.”
everything will be alright.
Anything whatever.
that everything will be fine
Ellen whispers in my ear incessantly.
The more Ellen did, the more the guilt that swarmed in my heart only grew exponentially.
Hearing more of Ellen’s whispers made him lose his temper.
So I gently grabbed the arm of Ellen who was embracing me and untied it.
“hey.”
“… … huh.”
“Let’s just play.”
“… … ?”
okay.
I’m so tired.
“We are running too fast these days. If you’re going to rest, let’s just go out and play.”
let’s rest a little
As if there is not even a short break, I run so much that I have time to organize my mind and the words I need to say are constantly pushed back.
Let’s cool down a bit.
And let’s talk.
At my words, Ellen slightly lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.
“… … huh.”
no wonder. It was a tone that made me feel a little better.
* * *
You can go out on Temple Main Street, but it’s Saturday.
Therefore, tomorrow is Sunday, so there is quite a bit of time to play.
“Let the other kids go too.”
Ellen said that as if she wanted the other kids to come too if they were going to play. I thought it would be just the two of us, but it was unexpected.
I want to tell you something important.
You don’t really have to go out to play. It’s a story that everyone will know in the end.
Adelia was at the magic research club, and Liana and Cliffman seemed busy doing physical training.
Ellen and I couldn’t be too proud to see Liana, who threw everything aside and rushed to play when asked to play, refusing to play on the weekend.
“Are you going to play?”
“huh.”
“Where?”
“I don’t know about that yet.”
At least, Harriet, who was about to go to the Imperial Magic Ministry, seemed to be a little worried, but then said she would go.
Harriet me and Ellen.
The three of them came out of the temple.
In the original work, Ellen was a criminal who confined herself to the gymnasium and wielded only a sword, and now there is nothing much different.
Harriet was a nerd in the original work, although he wasn’t mean, and now he’s just cute, but he’s still a nerd.
And I couldn’t help but realize another fact and lose my mind.
“… … What are you thinking about?”
Ellen tilted her head at the strange look on my face.
“I just made a very surprising realization.”
“huh.”
“Am I actually a huge criminal?”
“… … ?”
“and.”
Very shocking and surprisingly… … .
To be honest, I’m a criminal.
I woke up at dawn every day and practiced, and on the weekends, unless there was anything else to do, I stayed with Ellen at the training ground and focused on honing my major, swordsmanship.
It’s because most of the things I do are bullies, but in fact, I belong to a pretty special nerd among nerds. Even looking at her achievements in her major, not just her studies, she deserves to be called second in the ranking next to Ellen in her sophomore year at Temple.
Ellen and Harriet look at me with their mouths slightly open.
“… … That’s not entirely wrong.”
“that’s right. I hate to admit it, but it’s true… … .”
Upon reflection, both of them seemed even more shocked that they were not wrong.
Reinhardt is a model student.
Yangachi model student.
Anyway, Ellen is a criminal, Harriet is a criminal, and I am also a criminal.
That’s why they’ve never played before, so when they say they’re surprised, they don’t know what to do.
I just came out of the temple.
I don’t know where to go I decided to play, but what the hell am I supposed to do?
If I do anything with them, the only thing that comes to mind is eating. Of course, it would be mainly for Ellen.
“I want to go to the sea.”
Ellen said something completely unexpected to Harriet and me.
ocean.
“ocean? Isn’t it too far to go?”
There is no beach near the ecliptic Gradium.
“Is there anything I can’t do?”
“how? There is a queue at the gate… … .”
“I’m a great person, so I have these things.”
Harriet opened her eyes when she saw the imperial crest that I had brought in.
“No, how do you do this… … . ah… … . I see… … .”
After realizing that I was the owner of Alsbringer, I seemed to have a sense of the circumstances under which I came to have it.
And the head turns naturally.
“And Ellen too?”
“huh.”
Ellen also took out the imperial crest from her bosom and showed it to Harriet. Harriet looked at the two imperial coats of arms in front of her eyes and blankly looked at me.
“and… … . So now I tell you… … .”
“If you ask me, he has a nobler body than you. How is it, Grand Duchess? How does it feel to welcome someone with a status comparable to that of the imperial family?”
“This profit! You’re not supposed to say things like that! Bad bastard!”
– Pakpak!
“Ugh! Where is this, you put your hands on the body of an existence that is equivalent to the imperial family? uh? Do you want to be arrested for blasphemy?”
“Wow wow… … . and really This kind of garbage… … . Garbage… … .”
Harriet’s face went red and shivered as if her teeth were trembling when she saw that she was about to use it on a subject that would have been a bitch if someone revealed her identity.
Anyway, we can go anywhere there is a warp gate.
It’s still cold, so it’s a bit unreasonable to go into the sea. After Harriet had calmed down from her shock and astonishment, I looked at Ellen.
“Do you just want to see the ocean or do you want to go to the ocean where you can swim?”
“It would be nice if I could also swim.”
Then you can go to the tropics. There is nothing I can’t go to. Since it’s also Saturday, I don’t think it’ll matter much if I go out and sleep for a day.
Warp Gate System.
For this only, it’s much better than where I used to live.
A beach where you can swim.
When I thought so, there was a place that came to mind.
“Hey, then shall we go to the place where we did the mission to the uninhabited island before?”
“Yep.”
“wow! Is that right?!”
Judging from Ellen’s and Harriet’s excited looks, they both agreed vigorously.
“It must have been the Kamsencha Islands.”
“that’s right. I think so.”
Harriet and I had completely forgotten about it, but Ellen remembered the place accurately.
* * *
Imperial Kamsencha Islands.
The uninhabited island was a place where a group mission was done, but I don’t know what kind of place the Kamsencha Islands are specifically because I was teleported by a wizard after arriving via a warp gate.
Ellen and I passed through the warp gates, holding out the imperial crest.
Harriet seemed admiring seeing that wherever she went to the warp gate, if she pushed the imperial crest, she would get a free pass right away.
“There is no inspection and search at all.”
“I guess so.”
When using a warp gate, the original moving place, identity verification, and purpose of movement are supposed to be described, but there was no inspection on those parts. It was the same for me and Ellen, as well as my companion, Harriet.
Going through the super-large warp gates, eventually, when only the warp gate leading to Kamsencha Island remained, the guards froze as they saw the imperial crest.
“Are you talking about Kamsencha Island? ancient! We will connect you right away!”
Since it belonged to a provincial city, it was the first time I had seen a person with the imperial crest, so I could see the guards froze and panicking.
So we were able to move almost instantly to Kamsencha Island in the Kamsencha Archipelago.
However, as soon as I arrived at Kamsencha Island, the warm air and humid weather brought back memories of last year’s uninhabited island mission.
The gate I just passed by was also hot, but literally this place was real.
“… … Am I the only one who regrets it a bit as soon as I come?”
“… … Me too.”
“… … .”
obviously.
You will sweat in humid areas. As soon as Harriet arrived, she fanned her hands as if they were hot.
Ellen glanced at the nape of her neck, startled, then looked at me.
“I want to go back.”
really this
get sick or die
“I never once thought that you smell like sweat. I did it if I thought it was good, but I never once thought I didn’t like it.”
“… … ?”
“… … smell of sweat? What are you talking about?”
I couldn’t stand it and fired straight at my words, causing Ellen to have a slightly puzzled expression.
Harriet didn’t seem to understand what he was talking about.
no… … .
No matter how much I said it because I was worried about his mentality.
Is that such a perverted statement?
Ellen seemed to be pondering, then tilted her head.
“… … Do you like the smell of my sweat? why?”
Can’t you smell that good? why do you like it
Do you like me enough to even smell my sweat?
I don’t mean to say that, but if you look at me with that expression, I’ll even think of that!
You’re with me all day, do you want to go to class with me? I feel the same way as back then!
“Please, let’s stop talking like crazy.”
“… … Why are you crazy?”
“Oh, I think this is going to turn me off. stop.”
“huh.”
“The smell of sweat… … ? do you like that?”
said Harriet, a little stunned.
“no! It’s not like that!”
“Then what is it?”
As I tried to explain something to Harriet, Ellen grabbed me by the sleeve and shook her head vigorously.
I feel like I’ll kill you if I tell you.
“Let’s go for now.”
But we didn’t know much about Kamsencha Island. First of all, the place where we did the uninhabited island mission was one of the countless uninhabited islands scattered near Kamsencha Island, and we don’t know where that uninhabited island is.
On the other hand, Kamsencha Island is, of course, a place where people live, and it is under the direct control of the empire, so even if it is not a large city, there are ordinary people and shops everywhere.
The ecliptic was still early spring, so the weather was chilly, and we had no idea that we would be arriving in the Kamsencha Islands, thousands of kilometers away from the ecliptic, before leaving the temple.
So we were dressed in casual clothes and coats that were completely out of place in the tropics.
“Should I use magic?”
Harriet would be able to do something similar to how Ellerith cast Chilling Touch on us last time in the Dark Land.
“Oh, you must have come from a cold place. If you wear it like that, you’ll get fat. I won’t buy clothes, though.”
Street vendors even looked at us and told us to buy some new clothes.
“Magic is good too, but I want to buy clothes in the first place.”
“huh.”
It was the sea and the sea, and in this humid weather, we were in a steamer, so we naturally moved to the clothing store.
* * *
Ellen wore a light white dress, a round straw hat, and light sandals.
Harriet was wearing a very oversized T-shirt, short shorts, and flip-flops. Should I say it’s similar to the missing bottom fashion?
I wore slippers, shorts, and something like an aloha shirt.
I might be swimming, so I bought a swimsuit right away.
“It’s better.”
“I know.”
“I can cast magic if you need it.”
I just asked to go hang out in front of my house, but it felt like I was on a trip, but anyway, any place where a warp gate goes through is like the front yard of my house.
Wearing a white dress and a straw hat, Ellen’s limbs were white and slender, giving her a dazzling appearance as if she diffused and reflected light. Harriet had her hair down now, so it felt a bit new.
The beach soon appeared and Ellen ate one of the coconuts sold on the street. Have you ever thought about the past?
“… … empty.”
“okay? I think it was delicious… … .”
It was the same thing that Harriet took a sip of the coconut Ellen held out and turned sour.
“Yes… … . empty.”
It was quite nice to see the two of them chatting with each other with a coconut. Ellen carried a coconut. He’s not a guy who doesn’t throw away food.
Let me stare at the two quietly. The two walking ahead looked at me and said.
“What are you doing?”
“come fast. It’s hot in the sun.”
“Uh uh okay.”
I must have changed into clothes suitable for the climate. Now it was time to start moving slowly.
“hungry.”
“Me too.”
I was actually hungry because I left without eating lunch during morning training. Harriet didn’t seem to have eaten lunch either. Judging by the look on their worried faces with their lips pursed, it seemed like they wanted something to eat.
I wanted to go to the sea.
Then, I came to Kamsencha Archipelago after thinking about the uninhabited island group mission.
I just have to say that these two are something I want to eat right now.
“Do you want to eat lobster?”
“Yep.”
“that’s right!”
Both strongly affirmed my opinion.
