Chapter 118 Ill Hold You Like This, Just a Little Longer!

I admired the splendid scenery from the dormitory balcony.

Whooosh

Bang!

The night grows deeper, but the sky is still beautifully adorned with countless fireworks.

I understand why.

Its because of the victory in the Hunting competition.

The Hunting competition is an event that is considered the exclusive domain of the knights.

It has a large influence and is also a politically important event.

To win such a competition means that.

Ones status, which was suppressed, has soared to a new level.

This celebration will not end for a while.

Its beautiful.

A clear voice.

I turn my head to the source of the voice.

This is all thanks to you, Sir Flan.

A girl who looks like a soft white cotton ball, Yushia.

She smiles happily as she looks down at the academys scenery.

We searched for a place to talk for a while, but in the end, the only place that met the conditions was the dormitory.

I calmly open my mouth.

What do you want, Yushia?

First of all, congratulations on your victory. This is a special glow-in-the-dark package for you, Sir Flan~.

She emphasized the word special.

Yushia flicks her finger, and the gift package, which was nothing more than a bag, expands to three times its size and transforms into a bundle.

Holding the balcony fence with her hand, Yushia smiles faintly and looks at me.

I open my mouth again.

Whats the next thing?

Oh, this is it.

Yushia takes out a few files from the bundle.

She stacks them on the desk.

These are the documents that I researched and organized. They will surely help you find the memories that you lost.

You investigated me.

I ask quietly.

Yushia awkwardly shows me her palms.

Ah, I know you must be feeling uncomfortable. These are all things that I did behind your back

Im not asking about your feelings, but the reason for your investigation.

Yushia hesitates for a moment.

Actually, I was very worried when I heard that you were going to Verkel. Thats why.

Worried.

Im not even concerned about my own safety, so the feeling of someone worrying about me is unfamiliar.

I replied indifferently.

You dont need to worry about me.

Is that so? But But still.

With a serious face, Yushia murmurs.

You were hurt because of me.

I was hurt because of Yushia.

I dont remember that.

Soon, I realized that her words were related to the original owner of this body.

You may not remember, but you were badly injured when you saved me that day.

I quietly listen to her story.

I had no choice.

It was something I didnt know.

Yes You must have been disappointed in me.

Yushia says in a slightly dejected voice.

But even if you were shocked, even if you came to hate me. I had to tell you this. Because its the truth.

There was such a reason behind giving up the sword.

I look at Yushia quietly.

She cant meet my eyes. Her golden pupils slowly lower to the ground.

The achievements that you make with magic, after giving up the sword, are both joy and guilt for me.

She bows slightly to me.

So you can hate me, Sir Flan. Thats something I have to bear.

I quietly sort out my thoughts.

Many letters swim around in my head, and Yushia looks at me with a hopeful expression, as if she wants to hear something from me.

Of course, I have no obligation to answer her.

I can send Yushia away right now, and that would be my freedom.

But.

When I visited the exhibition hall, I confirmed Yushias outstanding talent from her writing.

If I lose a promising magician because of something I didnt experience, it would be a regrettable thing.

Even if it wasnt you.

That was the sentence I put together with such a thought.

I would have given up the sword anyway.

There would be no archmage who wielded a sword.

A brief silence flowed, and I heard someone swallow a sigh.

Yushia had her mouth tightly shut.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at me.

Sir Flan?

Yushias chest moved up and down greatly. Her breathing was that rough.

That means, in other words

Yushia, who had been gaping, soon shook her head vigorously. She quickly changed the topic.

Oh, by the way, do you know about the second princess? She has been showing a lot of interest in you lately.

Ive heard of it.

It was information I had obtained a long time ago that the royal family had started to take an interest in the magic department.

Actually, the second princess is You should be careful. Shes a very scary woman.

You seem to know the second princess well.

Huh?

Yushia waved her hands frantically from side to side.

Its a rumor. A rumor! Its included in the information Ive been investigating here and there. Yes.

And she started to speak rapidly.

Anyway, Im sorry and thank you. I will never forget the grace of saving me, and I wont do any more investigations behind your back. You can resent me as much as you want

Yushia.

I called her name.

I looked at her face with unwavering eyes.

The face that resembled someone from the previous world.

I dont hate you.

Huh

Just focus on your magic.

Then Yushia, with an indescribable expression, pursed her lips for a while. We, like that, looked at each other without a word for a while.

Yes. If thats what you want, Sir Flan. I will.

Whiiing

The dawn wind swept over us.

Yushia took out a doll from her bundle. She hugged it very carefully.

What kind of doll is that?

Oh, its a doll of Sir Flan that Im going to give you.

Looking at it, it seemed to resemble me a bit.

Something that resembled me strangely and unfairly, that could be said to be similar or not.

Yushia hugged it a little harder.

So, before I give it to you.

She smiled faintly.

Ill hold it like this, a little longer!

The next morning.

As the sun slowly rose, and those who had stayed up all night playing went to bed exhausted.

I headed to the deans office early.

It was because of the summons from the dean of the magic department, Conette.

Flan.

Someone called my name then.

I turned around and saw that it was not a mage who called me, but a knight.

She had short, well-trimmed red hair.

I called her name, which reminded me of a personified rose.

Janet.

Thats right. Its me.

She stood still and looked at me.

Usually, if someone stopped me, they would have something to say, but she just stared at me blankly.

I decided to ignore her and walk past.

Get out of the way if its nothing important.

Dont you think its something important?

She shook her head.

She took a coin out of her pocket and tossed it as she continued.

It was a golden coin, different from the usual ones.

I came to say thank you.

Janet smiled with her usual ease.

When we were surrounded by shadow beasts. Thanks to your fire, I was able to survive.

I didnt use magic to help you.

I know. But its a fact that I received your help. I think I should at least say thank you.

Ting!

She flicked the golden coin towards me. I stopped it in mid-air.

Dont bother and keep it. Flan.

Im not short of money.

Im sure youre not. But thats not an ordinary coin.

Janet shrugged her shoulders.

A wish coin of blessing. What should I call it? Someday, when you need a blessing, Ill make sure to help you.

So youre saying this is a token of gratitude.

Thats right. Isnt it a nice item?

I picked up the coin that was fixed in the air with my finger.

I examined it closely and then opened my mouth again.

Its useless.

Really? I thought youd like it Huh?

The easy smile on Janets face disappeared.

She narrowed her eyebrows and asked.

Useless?

Yes.

Of course, there might be some use for it if I looked for it.

Considering the reputation of the Celestial Blessing and Janets strength, it might be handy in some situations. But I was confident that I could overcome any crisis with magic.

Actually, more than anything, I wanted something else.

You really like tossing coins. Janet.

Ting!

I tossed the coin up with telekinesis.

And youre always short of words.

Janet blinked her eyes and looked at me. I faced her gaze without avoiding it.

Whether you greet me, beg me for points, or thank me. You never know what youre talking about.

I came to say thank you, what do you mean? And besides, Im older than you!

Janet.

I cut off her words that were about to continue.

If heads, you correct your attitude, if tails, Ill give you a chance to duel with me.

Tick!

At the same time, I stopped the coin that was falling from above in front of Janets nose.

The coin was standing vertically, so I couldnt tell which side was up.

Janet looked at the coin and me alternately.

I asked her quietly, one more time.

Which side is up?

Answer me.

Janet stared at me blankly.

One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.

After a brief silence, she swallowed her saliva.

A drop of sweat ran down her cheek.

She looked at me silently for a while, then finally snatched the coin from the air.

Fine. Fine.

A duel, then. Good.

No! No, its not!

She sighs deeply and covers her face with one hand.

She sighs three more times and then says.

You just have to use honorifics You do, right

No, no, thats not true!

She lets out a deep sigh and buries her face in her hand.

After sighing three more times, she finally speaks.

Cant you just be polite to me Please
