#120

After completing their business, Ronan and Schlieffen returned straight to the island. Since I was riding a regular horse instead of a ghost horse, it took much longer than when I came to Dainhar.

It’s already been seven days since I spent all my time on horseback, except for sleeping and eating. It wouldn’t be strange if mushrooms grew on his butt. Ronan, who got angry for no reason, poked Sita who was dozing in her backpack.

“Boy, you get off now too.”

“Bye!”

Sita frowned and stuck her head into her backpack. Judging by his calm demeanor, it seemed like it was hot.

Even after leaving the desert, the southern heat did not cool down. It was a dry landscape of short grass and wasteland. Ronan’s gaze, which was gradually becoming more liquid, landed on Schlieffen.

“You damn bastard… What kind of steel is the nobleman’s groin made of? “It doesn’t hurt at all?”

“This is no problem.”

He still maintained an upright posture. Although he looked tired, his characteristic dignity as a great nobleman was not worn in the slightest. Ronan shook his head as if he was fed up.

“I’m jealous. “When I was a soldier, I also rode horses a lot.”

“I’m just worried that Ms. Iril’s portrait will be damaged. “Pick up the pace.”

“You crazy bastard.”

Every ten minutes Schlieffen took Iril’s picture out of his front shirt pocket and looked at it. Ronan, unable to see what was happening, pulled the reins.

It was the moment when the horse rushed out and overtook Schlieffen. fault! Ronan stretched out his hand like lightning and snatched the picture of Iril he was looking at.

“Hey, you guy! “What are you doing!”

“Hahaha, precious things disappear like the wind!”

“Stop! “I won’t let it happen if the painting gets damaged!”

Ronan rushed forward as quickly as if he were an Imperial cavalry unit. A thoughtful Schlieffen chased after Ronan. Before he knew it, the sword in his hand was changing into the shape of the wind.

“Pyeongung.”

Sita, who had woken up due to the commotion, tossed and turned in frustration. The haze in full bloom in the sky heralded the arrival of late summer. They arrived at the islands on the fifteenth day of their journey.

****

The first place Ronan tried to visit after returning to the Islands was Separazio, Secret’s office. The reason he went all the way to a foreign place like Dain Har in the first place was to receive favors from him. He said as Ronan rolled his eyes at the incredulous answer.

“What, you went on vacation?”

Since Jarudin was not in the office, in order to get to Separaccio, he had to ask other students or educational staff. Asher, who was called home from reading a book, spoke hesitantly.

“Uh, yeah… that’s because it’s vacation.”

“Damn, where did the person with five curses suddenly go?”

“Boo, I think you said you were going to the North. He said he had discovered a new curse. “I heard you’ll probably arrive just in time for the first day of school…”

“Hey, that’s bad luck.”

Ronan sighed. This was an unexpected variable. She was planning on rushing to Haeju during summer vacation, but it looks like she’ll have to make plans again. Suddenly his eyes landed on the house standing behind Asher.

“By the way, did you move well?”

“Yes. Thanks to.”

Asher nodded. The new place she and her parents moved to was none other than Ronan’s next door. When safety and convenience were considered top priorities, there was no place like this.

It is said that the move took place while Ronan and Schlieffen were visiting Dinehar. The members, including Marya and Braum, helped out. Ronan, who was scratching his head as if he had no shame, continued.

“What thanks. “I couldn’t help you with anything… So, is Marya in the system now?”

“huh.”

“That’s good. Take it.”

“Huh?!”

Suddenly, Ronan stuck his hand into Asher’s pocket. Asher, startled, screamed. Ronan took her hand out of his pocket and turned away.

“Say hello to your parents. “I’m going.”

“Ro, Ronan. what’s this?”

Even though Ronan’s hand was gone, he felt a thick foreign object in his pocket. It was only after Ronan left that Asher took out the items in his pocket and checked them.

“This···!”

Asher, who was pale, tried to say something, but Ronan had already disappeared from sight. Ronan, who heard the news from Asher, immediately headed to the market.

“There’s nothing wrong with having a lot of money. cancer.”

The purpose was to raise money with the loot taken from Dainhar. Marya’s presence meant that the upper part of the Caravel was staying, so at least she didn’t have to worry about being slapped with a price.

“Now, now, it’s ice! “It’s full of rock ice that was just frozen by an 8th circle ice wizard!”

“Let me show you something! “Five parasols and only one silver coin!”

Despite the melting heat, the market’s unique bustle showed no sign of subsiding. It was a landscape that contrasted with the wasteland I had seen for nearly a month. While Ronan was wandering around looking for the top, a familiar woman caught her eye.

“Eh?”

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. At first I thought I had seen something wrong. It was a loose outfit that could not be reminiscent of his usual appearance, but he was recognizable thanks to his unique bronze skin and assertive body.

The woman was eating ice cream on bread in front of a street vendor. When her merchant saw her eating all of her bread, he put her hands together and opened her mouth.

“Well, Sword Saint… do you feel comfortable in your mouth?”

“He is a Sentai Sword Saint. “One more please.”

The merchant’s face brightened. The woman who paid with her coin accepted her new ice cream. Ronan walked closer to her and waved her hand happily.

“Instructor Butterfly Rose!”

“Ronan? “It’s been a while.”

“I almost didn’t recognize you. “You dress very freely.”

Butterfly Rose was wearing a white sleeveless blouse and black wide pants. Her bare shoulders were attracting the attention of passers-by. It was a truly avant-garde outfit that might be recognized in about two centuries.

“Who cares? “I just need to be comfortable.”

“That is correct. “I like that aspect of the instructor.”

“I was just looking for it and it worked out well. “Come here.”

“yes?”

Nabirose took a bite of ice cream and motioned to Ronan. It was the moment he approached, tilting his head. Sigh! Nabirose’s hand flew in like a snake seeking its prey, grabbed Ronan’s ear and twisted it.

“Gyaaagh! Why, why are you doing this?!”

“Why? “Do you think it makes sense not to say hello to your teacher before vacation?”

“Adeshan, you didn’t hear that from senior Adeshan!”

“Words only have meaning when spoken directly. “It’s a shame.”

Ronan screamed for the mayor to leave. Judging by the force of the ear-twisting, it seemed like he was really sad. She didn’t care whether people’s attention was on her or not.

“If you want to atone, go to the Gallerion Pavilion right now. “Because Adeshan is devoting himself to training every day to show you.”

“What, has your senior come back already?”

“okay. He will be waiting for you to arrive, so be kind to him. Did you understand?”

“all right. Damn it, I’m going, so just let go!”

Ronan nodded quickly. Finally, with butterflies, I relaxed my grip on his hand. As she wiped the ice cream that had fallen on her chest, she opened her mouth.

“Anyway, I’m glad you look healthy. I can clearly see that my skills have improved. “If you brought a sword, we could at least spar.”

“Damn it… But I even brought a gift for the instructor, so it’s difficult to do this.”

“gift?”

“Here, take it.”

Ronan placed something in her hand. Nabirose’s eyes widened. A black magic stone that only came from Dainhar was sparkling in her palm.

“···Where did you get this?”

“Just take it. Because I think I will be indebted to you in the future. “Then I’ll leave!”

“Wait, wait…!”

Ronan’s figure had already disappeared through the crowd and was not visible. For a moment, he thought about using all his might to catch it, but he quickly decided against it. Nabirose, who was fiddling with the magic stone, laughed.

“···What the hell.”

****

Ronan returned after selling ten Dainhar magic stones to the top of the Caravel where Marya was. There were over a hundred left at home, but since the upper management did not have enough money to pay them immediately, they had to be satisfied with that amount. It was quite a sight to see the Caravel father and daughter’s eyes widening as if they would pop out.

“…It really is a Dainhar magic stone. It’s also of the highest quality… It’s meaningless to ask how you got it, right?”

“Well, that’s right.”

“I understand… Since you are busy, I will send the settlement money to your home. Would you like to lead the caravel operation with my daughter in the future?”

“Dad, please!”

Marya, whose face was bright red, rushed towards Duon. Ronan later realized that it was an invitation to marry Marja.

After explaining where to hit to effectively inflict pain, Ronan took a step forward. A luxurious cane was held in his hand.

The destination is Gallerion Pavilion. This was the first arena where Nabirose’s classes were usually held.

-Kang! Kagagak!

-Pow!

Even before entering the arena, I could hear a bustling noise. When I opened the door, I saw a girl fighting with two magic engineers. Ronan muttered in a voice filled with admiration.

“It seems like you’ve grown taller…”

The rumor that women grow taller quickly seemed to be true. She was so focused on training that Ade Shan didn’t even notice Ronan come in.

Every time she moved her body, her ponytail-like hair was fluttering. The sweat-soaked nape of my neck was shining white light. Adeshan, who easily dodged the knights’ onslaught, looked like a person with five eyes.

Unlike Ronan, who used her natural reaction speed and body vision to dodge, she predicted the future based on her unique insight. Ronan frowned at her Adeshan’s crossbow in her hand.

“Hmm… I don’t like the other person.”

The crossbow, which was completely black from the bow to the rope, was a new weapon she received from Doron. Ronan thought it was a very good weapon. If you know how to shoot properly, it will have a tremendous synergistic effect with Adeshan’s ability to control the opponent’s movements.

However, this time, Young’s opponent was not good. The mana of the shadow did not work on the magic engineer, who was not a living creature.

Huh! At that time, the knight behind Adeshan lowered his sword vertically and slashed. Adeshan hurriedly rolled to the side to avoid the attack. Kang! Sparks flew from the tip of the knife that hit the floor.

“Kkeuch…!”

Adeshan quickly stood up and aimed at the knight who had slashed. Since the sword was still raised, there was an opening.

She calmly aimed at the head and pulled the handle of the crossbow. Her crossbow was fired as it was and hit the magic engineer’s head. Quang! A small explosion occurred and the knight’s body tilted backwards.

···thud! The fallen knight, puffing smoke out of his eye sockets, let out a mechanical voice.

[Confirmation of damage exceeding a certain amount. blackout.]

“Good…!”

The knight’s movements stopped. Ade Shan clenched his fists and shouted in delight. At that moment, the knight standing in her corner swung his sword.

“ah···!”

I was so intoxicated with victory that I couldn’t bear to see it. The blade was already at hand. It was a distance that could not be avoided or blocked. It was the moment when Adeshan closed his eyes. Kang! The voice of a magic engineer was heard along with a loud metallic sound.

[blackout.]

“···huh?”

Adeshan cautiously opened his eyes. thud! The staggering knight fell to the ground. A pure white dagger was stuck in the thin joint connecting the neck and torso. A familiar voice was heard from far away.

“Sir, it’s been a while.”

“Ah, Ronan!”

Adeshan’s face brightened. Ronan strolled over and pulled out Ymir, which was stuck in her knight. He looked back at the knight Adeshan had defeated and whistled.

“You shot me some? “I was surprised.”

“Umm…it’s still not enough. “You almost got pinned just now.”

“No, that’s not just an empty remark, really. “Not everyone does this.”

Ronan pointed the tip of his chin at the knight. The crossbow that Adeshan fired was stuck right in the knight’s eye socket. At most, a gap the size of a finger. Even if you shoot from a standing position, it is difficult to hit, but what was accomplished in this melee was not simply a matter of effort.

“Anyway, it’s completely black. “You look like a naughty boy.”

“It was a little hot. But compared to the people who live there, it’s no different from a snowman.”

“That’s right, are there any injuries? “Did you really go all the way to Dainhar?”

Suddenly, Adeshan brought his face close to me. The distance was so close that her breath could touch it. After closely examining Ronan’s complexion, she stepped back in embarrassment.

“hot···! Sorry. “It’s going to smell like sweat…!”

“are you okay. By the way, do you have some time? “Did I perhaps disturb you?”

“No, I was just about to take a break too.”

“Good for you. take it.”

Ronan nodded and held out his wand. It had a luxurious appearance, as if only nobles would use it. Adeshan tilted his head.

“It looks very expensive… Why are you suddenly doing this…?”

“It’s a gift. Because it is a weapon that only a smart person should use. Would you like to squeeze the handle tightly?”

“huh?”

Adeshan did just that. Sigh! Suddenly, seams appeared on the smooth surface, and the staff stretched out. Adeshan’s eyes widened as he saw a snake-like figure made of steel that could easily climb over 2 meters.

“Whip, whip? “Is this really a whip?”

“As expected, my prediction was correct. Swing hard once and say, ‘You dirty pig!’ Would you like to say that?”

“Hmm…?”

“It suits you very well. “If word of mouth spreads, there will probably be people who come to meet me on purpose.”

Adeshan groaned in embarrassment. The reason Ronan gave her the whip wasn’t just because of her intelligence. The beauty, with her tall stature and haughty appearance, had to wield her whip. It would be perfect if you wear long leather boots. She was dumbfounded and Adeshan, who was fiddling with his whip, opened her mouth.

“I don’t know what it means, but I’ll write it really well. thank you.”

“That’s Okay. So should we finish training? “I also feel really dizzy.”

“Yeah, good. But before that, would you like to go somewhere with me for a moment? “It won’t take that long because it’s on campus.”

“ok? “Where?”

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. After hesitating for a moment, Ade Shan opened her mouth.

“···Hill of the Four Seasons. “I have something to tell you.”
