116 Episode 26: The Man Who Knows Immature

The student council seems to be in a lot of trouble.

A few minutes after leaving the student meeting room.

Walking down the hallway, Elisia murmured.

I mean, you didn't ask me anything about the bomb.

"Yes, that's right. Honestly, that's what worried me the most...."

Gran and Mise stroked their chest down in relief and talked.

After all, the student council didn't seem particularly suspicious of us - but anyway, it didn't change when they looked at us.

Everyone, just listen to me for a second.

I thought it was time to share my suspicions with everyone now that I was involved with the student council.

"I told the student council to shut up about the bomb because it might actually be the mastermind."

"Eh!?

Gran and Mize opened their eyes in dismay.

On the other hand, Elisia was surprised, but immediately pulled her lips together as if she had perceived the situation.

"Not just student councils, to be exact.... the security of this school is advanced. Agents from other countries are not so easy to sneak through many times. It's only natural to think that someone guided you."

"... I see. Some candidate (...) met the student."

I nod "Oh" to Elicia's words.

"There are other candidates. The Knights, the Royal Army... or whatever, I doubt the organization that keeps the school and the surrounding guards."

The mastermind is not determined to be a student council.

The Knights and Royal Army are more likely to have foreign connections. However, the student council is the most familiar with school security.

"So the reason you kept your mouth shut about the bomb was to keep us from understanding our movements?

"That's what it is. Sooner or later, you will realize that now that we have not completely dismantled the bomb, we want to delay the information leakage as much as possible."

The Empire is running a rather risky operation when it is using bombs. I don't think we'll be able to take any more offensive measures, but if we switch to another operation, the Kingdom may not be able to respond in time. But switching tactics should take time. We have nothing more to hide from you than to scrape up that time.

"Everyone, please don't say anything about this."

That said, they each shook their necks vertically and forcefully.

As I walked down the hallway, I heard students calling from outside the window.

It turns out that students of the same school year are sweating at competition festival practice.

It's been a halfway time.

I see. Let's not practice today, let's practice ourselves. "

Participating in practice from now on may be confusing.

I'll do it myself this time.

"Ah, yes. I'm going to have to go buy some competitive weapons, so why don't you come with me?

Elicia suggested it.

"Is it a competition that needs weapons?

Well... It seems that magic equipment above B rank cannot be used in the competition, so we need to make a new one. "

Speaking of which, Elisia's usual sword was a high-ranking magic tool that enhanced the power of slashing. At the Magic Competition Festival, which shows the strength of the students' elements, I am convinced that the magical equipment of that hand cannot be used.

"... just fine. I'll buy a weapon, too."

"And the Tweets?

Ah.

In the future, there will be more places to fight not as ex-soldiers of institutions, but as students.

It's about time I got a new partner.

◆

Hee, there was something like this.

After leaving school, we followed Elisia's lead to the weapon shop in King's Landing. It was slightly off the bustling public streets, and since the store was plain, it was a shop that seemed to miss some of its customers, but the store was bustling against expectations. Apparently, it's a famous shop that people know.

"This is one of the few shops that also handles magic equipment. The Knights of the Nation are welcoming."

It was a unique choice of shops in Eritrea, knowledgeable about knights.

"I intend to buy magic equipment below rank C that can be used at the competition festival, but what does Tweet buy?

"I'm going to buy a 'sniper wand'. It is preferable not only to compete, but also to accommodate all situations."

Elisia's eyes narrowed.

The reason I want new weapons is to fight my enemies as a student. Elisia must have figured it out.

"The 'Magic Wand' connection is definitely that way.... I'll show you around."

"Thanks."

Elysia, who seems to have used this shop many times already, will guide you.

But on the way, we found the blonde guy we saw.

Sieg.

"... Tweet"

Sieg looked awkward when he realized we were here.

Sieg, who had checked the items on the shelf, interrupted it and tried to leave the store silently.

"What? You don't have to ignore it so openly."

Elysia shouts to Sieg's back as she walks away.

Then Sieg stopped and focused on me.

"... that man is stabbing me with a nail."

That said, I leaned my neck.

"Nails...?

"... come, don't tell me you forgot?

Sieg looks at me with incredible eyes.

"I told you in the duel. He said," Leave us alone. "

Speaking of which, I may have said such a thing at the end.

Never get involved with us again. Sure, I feel like I've been threatening you like that.

"... oh, that."

"You're lying... have you forgotten? Oh, how much do you think I've kept that word...?

Sieg opens her eyes.

Sieg hasn't come into contact with us since I thought of it. Except when we run into each other in the labyrinth.

On the battlefield, it was such a threatening complain, it was a routine chat. There were countless people I threatened, and on the contrary, there were countless people who threatened me. It's not as obsessive as either.

"It's been a while since then, and you can forget about it."

"What is that... what is that...?"

Sieg drips.

"Don't get me wrong, but I meant it then. However, if I look at Sieg these days, I don't think he'll run off like that anymore."

"... hmm. Since then, I've been thinking a lot about myself."

Sieg looked down and said so, and saw Elisia, Mise, and Gran behind me.

"I'm sorry, you guys."

Sieg says, looking straight at us with sincere eyes.

"I didn't have any doubts about being held by nobles, but now I'm not.... I swear I won't do that again. I feel ashamed of myself for my immature behavior at that time."

In that way, they were surprised enough to lose their voices.

Only Elisia, who is the same heroic family but knew about Siegfried's changes before, opens her mouth.

"Well, we're not even angrier now... but we've changed our minds a lot."

It's mostly this guy's fault.

Sieg points at me and says.

"Ever since I lost this man in the duel, I've been polishing my strength to make sure I beat him next time. But while I was practicing, I had more opportunities to face my weaknesses.... now that I know my immaturity, I'm unlikely to behave as arrogantly as before. I'm full of myself now."

Sieg says it looks like something has blown out.

In fact, Siegfried has grown remarkably recently here. Even after school yesterday, I was able to keep fighting without delay against Valen. He used to be just a dick who borrowed the prestige of his family, but now he's a very good man.

"Tweet, it's a corner. Why don't you ask Sieg to help you pick your weapon? Surely Siegfried is also a Magic Wand user, right?

Sieg replied with a smile to Elisia's suggestion.

"Very well. This is my choice."

I smile at those words.

"The tone remains arrogant."

"... forgive me, it's a habit"

Sieg said with a complicated expression.

It seems that he cares.
