Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 16
Chapter 4 Club
At Constel, club recruitment is in full swing right now.
Recruitment itself began when freshmen entered, but was now reaching its final stage.
The week until the deadline was full of interest among upperclassmen, freshmen, and clubs.
Of course, the same was true for Class 2, which was the area that received the most attention at Constel.
“Elodie, have you heard of the club?”
“… … Oh, huh?”
When Aster asked Elodie, Elodie pretended not to hear and asked back.
Aster spoke again sincerely.
“The club. “I heard there’s not much time left until the deadline.”
“No, there’s nothing I’m particularly interested in.”
“Hmm, I see.”
Aster did not ask any more questions. Not having doubts is his character and sincerity. This time he did it a bit worse though.
Elodie hesitated and then asked.
“you?”
“I like horseback riding. “I can’t learn mounted combat yet, but Constel has ‘Cassian’, an excellent war horse breed.”
The most common means of transportation on the Palind continent is the car.
However, in this world where mana and fantasy combine, an excellent horse surpasses them.
Its main power surpasses that of a decent sedan, it moves at its own discretion, and even evacuates its owner to a safe place while he or she is unconscious.
Cassian is an excellent breed that meets all the requirements of being a famous horse. It is one of Constel’s pride among the central continent.
“Hmm, I see.”
Elodie said as if she was not interested. In fact, he had no interest in horseback riding.
Since I was so uninterested in horseback riding, my plan to follow Aster to the same club was ruined.
Aster tilted his head.
“You would be welcome anywhere you go.”
“… … Haha, of course it is.”
Elodie answered coolly. She was also true.
From the first day of club recruitment, she received numerous recommendations. To this day, I occasionally receive club pamphlets.
… … But if you go alone, it’s lonely.
“Well, there’s nothing I can do if you’re not interested in the club.”
Aster said that and left.
Elodie clasped both hands hidden under the desk.
It’s not that I’m not interested!
It’s not that I’m not interested!!
Hey, are you listening?!
“… … “Ugh.”
A sigh comes out of Elodie’s mouth.
Elodie has good interpersonal relationships and gets along well with everyone around her. She is so hard to notice, but she actually has few friends.
The only people I can talk to properly are Aster Evans and Frontier.
It’s not that Elodie has a problem making friends. On the contrary, because they are so talented, it is difficult to make friends.
Overwhelming divine power loved by the five gods, plus Lisha, a noble family in the north.
His appearance and demeanor are above reproach, his grades are excellent, and he has no flaws.
So, regardless of gender, there are many people who show favor to Elodie, but most of them are admiration or envy.
Flowers on the cliff. There is no one in Constel who these words fit so well with.
“… … “It’s no different than me.”
No matter how talented and talented she is, she is only 17 years old.
I think as much as others, have as much fun as others, and dream as much as others.
But the only one who thinks that way is Elodie herself.
“Lonely… … “No!”
Elodie let out a complaint without realizing it, but then changed her words as if she came to her senses.
I have friends too! It’s just a little less!
“… … Let’s go home.”
I wondered what I was doing alone.
You are free to join clubs at Constel. You don’t have to go in. Becoming the so-called ‘go home’.
Ortel, Elodie’s father, will love it. Because she cares so much about her daughter.
… … It’s not like Elodie voluntarily wanted to have her ears added.
Elodie headed to the school gate.
When it’s time to leave school, the family’s driver is always waiting for the car.
Elodie’s small wish was to go to the club and tell the driver that the school dismissal time had changed.
I even practiced keeping a straight face for fear that I might burst out laughing out of joy and show that face to the driver.
“… … .”
As she walked like that, she really didn’t think anything of it.
I looked towards the training room.
… … According to a recent rumor, he goes to the training room every day these days.
Another rumor is that he entered the dungeon and rescued a female student from the group.
Rumor has it that he has changed a little compared to before. He says he has changed as a person.
“Hmm, well, then where?”

Should I go take a look, or rather, check the truth of the rumor?
Elodie took out her phone.
It was different from the reason I first thought, but it was to let them know that the dismissal time had changed.

[in use]
Number of guests: 1 person
User: Frontier de Roach
“It’s true.”
Elodie was a little impressed.
That frontier is a training room.
I can’t believe you’re doing self-training without anyone telling you!
“You didn’t even listen when I said that.”
Elodie moved her upper body around and snooped around.
Each private room is equipped with a mirror, and this mirror is made of glass that can be seen from the inside of the private room.
It is used to prevent people from watching the training from outside and to check who is outside from inside.
So, if you show yourself in front of the mirror like this, open the door and come out… … The law, too.
“Why, how focused are you to not think about coming out?”
Ignored?
Did you just ignore me when you saw me there?
Are you ignoring me because I don’t have any friends?
“Let’s see how long we can do that.”
Elodie moved from her seat in front of the mirror and headed toward the door.
There is a buzzer button on the private room door. To let people with business know inside.
Elodie pressed the button in front of the door with all her might-
Hiss.
-The door opened before prayer.
“uh.”
Elodie sounded embarrassed and dazed.
In front of her was Frontier. Her clothes were soaked from her shoulder collar down to her chest, and her upper body rose and sank gently from her chest to her shoulders.
His entire face was soaked with sweat, and his wet eyelashes slowly covered Frondier’s eyes and then opened them again.
That languid expression became even more drowsy, and the sunken eyes became even more drowsy.
Elodie blinked a few times. For a moment, she wondered if she had come to the wrong room. She had this thought even though it was clear that the frontier was right in front of her.
Elodie took a breath. He had to say something. He’s like this, he’s just staring at something. Say something, anything-
“… … Ta, the smell of sweat!”
Elodie shouted.
To put it bluntly, it was the best agility this year.
Huh, Frondier laughed as if it was absurd.
“What do you want from a place like this? “At least give me time to wash up.”
“… … “Yes, but.”
“So what happened?”
Frondier wiped his face with the towel he had prepared. So, it looked a little more like the usual Frontier than before.
Elodie is feeling a little better. I don’t know what made her okay.
“I heard you come to the training room often.”
“Oh, yes. “I’m practicing.”
After saying that, Frondier moved to put the towel in the locker. As the distance from Frondier grew, Elodie’s head became a little more relaxed.
… … I see I was looking up at the Frontier.
Of course, since Frontier is taller.
It’s so obvious, but somehow.
“Did you come to check that? Am I still training? “Are you still worried?”
“What are you worried about?”
Elodie tried to deny it for now. But he couldn’t find another suitable expression.
It’s not that it’s not, Elodie has been worried about Frondier for a long time.
Elodie and Frondier have been together since they were children.
Elodie was worried about Frondier, who was becoming more and more lazy, and gave him various advices, but all of them were meaningless.
But Frontier is different now.
Why on earth did Frontier, which did not change even though Elodie helped her so sincerely, change?
What was the trigger?
Elodie didn’t bother to ask because her desire to know that seemed like jealousy.
Elodie suddenly remembered and asked.
“So, did you join the club?”
“no. I’m not interested. “I don’t have time to do it.”
“Then what about going home?”
“huh.”
Frondier answered and drank the water. Towels, water, and personal lockers. It definitely looks like he visited the training room often.
It was a short answer, but Elodie felt reassured. She felt like she had an ally.
This time Frontier asked.
“you?”
“Uh, me?”
Elodie was a little taken aback when Frondier asked, but gave her usual answer.
“Me too, well, I’m not particularly interested in anything.”
At those words, Frondier stopped drinking water. He lowered the water bottle and said.
“lie.”
“… … what?”
“You want to join a club.”
Frontier seemed to be saying something along the lines of, ‘The Earth still spins.’
He said it as if it were so obvious.
Elodie blinked, feeling even more dumbfounded than before.
“Hey, what do you say you know?”
“know. “Because you look like me.”
Elodie frowned.
What is this crazy guy saying now?
However, at Frondier’s next words, Elodie stiffened.
“You seem to be alone.”
“… … !”
“I feel like I’m in a lonely place, and I feel like I won’t be able to get out of this lonely place.”
Frondier said calmly.
That calmness actually made Elodie gradually freeze.
“Even if you talk and smile with other people, you don’t feel like you are truly understood.”
“… … you,”
Elodie tried to say something, but in the end she couldn’t say anything and kept her mouth shut. The current Frontier really seemed to be no more than the rumors.
Frontier said that Elodie looked like him. In other words, the story Frondier is telling now was directed at Elodie, but in the end she was also directed at herself.
“… … “I thought you didn’t care about that.”
Human sloth Frontier.
Of course, the derogatory name for Frontier that everyone knows is probably him himself.
Nevertheless, Frontier’s expression was calm. As if it doesn’t hurt anything like that. As if it wasn’t my story.
… … but.
Frontier said:
“You too.”
Yes.
“You act calm too.”
Like Frontier, Elodie did not show it on her face. She pretended to be okay.
But still, Frontier found out.
“… … Well, since you carry more weight than me, it will be much more difficult.”
Frontier just shrugs his shoulders.
But Elodie couldn’t bear to think that she was suffering more than Frondier.
Especially now that I have overheard Frontier’s inner thoughts.
Elodie raised her head.
I felt lighter somewhere.
Maybe I wanted to hear this simple consolation. If she had just one person who could understand her, that might be enough for her.
When it became a trivial matter like a club, Elodie was able to laugh.
“… … thank you. “I feel at ease.”
I can’t say that I got better because you comforted me because I’m so embarrassed.
“… … .”
But Frondier saw Elodie. That expression was as languid as it had been up until now, and somehow it was just as cold.
“Join the club.”
“it’s okay. “I want to do it, but I don’t have anyone to do it with.”
“You can make friends. “Because you are different from me.”
Elodie’s eyes twitched at those words.
It was something I didn’t want to hear. That too for Frontier. Especially for Frontier, who had just had this conversation.
Everyone treated her like she was someone else. There was no one who truly understood.
In the end, was it the same for Frontier?
“… … “They said we looked alike.”
Elodie said. An incredibly weak voice came out.
“Why are you, even you, talking like that?”
Frondier closed his eyes for a moment. His shoulders sank. It seemed as if all the breath that was inside him was expelled that much.
“Because I know your loneliness.”
“You too.”
“I can’t help it. “It was my mistake, and I can’t take it back.”
“… … .”
“But you can change. “In that sense, you and I are different.”
For a person who made such noises, Frondier was very calm and shy.
“At least do what you want to do. “Elodie.”
Those words sounded like a wish.
Someone’s wish, conveyed to Elodie de Inies Richae.
