    ◈ Episode 88: Daily life after exams (2)

    Line was just embarrassed by the current situation.

    It is true that he was in danger after encountering the Santoni gang and it was also true that he hoped that someone would help him.

    However even she could not help but be surprised if the subject of the help was someone she had never thought of.

    Freuden Ulburg.

    One of the three major ducal families of the empire and its legitimate heir.

    Even at a young age he is a noble wolf leader who leads his faction and stands tall over the heads of noble students in Seorn.

    Of course Seorn is full of eccentrics and superhumans who solve everything on their own without being controlled by anyone but that does not diminish the shine of the name Freuden.

    Freuden was now staring at Santoni with cold eyes.

    ‘senior. He really was as scary as the rumors said.’

    Freuden’s rumor was famous even among the commoners.

    So when Line first encountered him by chance she was afraid.

    However when I got to know him I was surprised to see that he was a surprisingly easy-going person.

    But for now Line realized that the rumors about Freuden were by no means wrong or distorted.

    The energy he gave off proved that.

    “Why aren’t you answering? “Did I ask a difficult question?”

    I started to get annoyed by the drowsy voice.

    Santoni who was sweating profusely sensed that his life was in danger and hurriedly opened his mouth.

    “I was just educating an arrogant commoner.”

    “He’s a cocky commoner.”

    Freuden muttered like that and his eyes turned to Rine.

    Sigh.

    Liné trembled without realizing it. She froze not even thinking about getting up.

    If you think about it it wasn’t a situation she would particularly welcome.

    The opponent is Freuden Ulburg.

    He is the head of the Seorn Noble Students. On the contrary she is just a commoner.

    Even if you are acquainted with each other isn’t it all about meeting by chance?

    It was clear whose hand Freuden should take between Santoni and her.

    “so.”

    Freuden who fully grasped the situation opened his mouth.

    “Now you guys. “Are you saying the four of us are educating one person?”

    “Yes yes. “That’s right.”

    “you. “What’s your name?”

    “This is Santoni Oatmus.”

    “Otmus Hmm. Oh yeah. Is it the Earl of Otmouth? “I think I vaguely heard of it.”

    I have vaguely heard of a family that is equivalent to an earldom.

    Santoni who might have felt insulted accepted the fact as if it were natural.

    Because the other person is in a position where it is okay.

    “so. “The sons of the famous Otmus family were now bullying a commoner girl in a group of four in a remote place like this?”

    “You’re such a bully.”

    One of the female students in Santoni’s gang hastily made an excuse.

    “Not really. We just educate. yes. “I was just trying to educate.”

    “That’s education?”

    “yes yes!”

    Freuden was not only the head of an aristocratic faction but was also popular with young ladies due to his handsome appearance.

    Therefore the two ladies who accompanied Santoni also desperately made excuses to look good in front of Freuden.

    Without knowing that their actions actually offended him even more.

    “It was all that commoner’s fault. “Because you dared to stand in the nobleman’s way and ignore his words.”

    “that’s right! “We were just trying to give such an arrogant commoner a harsh admonishment!”

    Freuden frowned as he watched the four people start talking believing that their actions were justice at some point.

    “It’s noisy.”

    “Mr. Freuden?”

    “Not only is it noisy it’s also disgusting.”

    “yes yes?”

    The four people did not understand why Freuden was showing such blatant hostility towards them.

    Why is he looking at them like that?

    Why? We’re just punishing a commoner. Why is he so angry?

    Now that I think about it why was Freuden here? Even without anyone to assist him on a regular basis.

    “Mr. Freuden. “Are you saying this because we disturbed Mr. Freuden’s rest?”

    I thought that if you were angry because your personal rest time was taken away it was definitely possible.

    However Santoni was wrong for a long time.

    “Are you sure you don’t know?”

    “yes yes? We don’t know. Or is it because of what we should do with a commoner girl…? Hahahaha. “It can’t be.”

    Santoni laughed without notice saying that was nonsense.

    That Freuden Ulburg gets angry in this situation because he cares about the commoner girl?

    The head of a noble faction? Wouldn’t this make a passing dog laugh?

    ah. I understand why they do that. I guess I felt bad because I saw a dirty commoner in front of me.

    Santoni made a random guess and lowered his head.

    “I’m sorry for interrupting your break. “I will handle it right away in a quiet place.”

    “…I don’t think you really understand what I’m saying. “Do you still not know why I’m angry?”

    “yes? If not what the hell…”

    “This is ridiculous.”

    Freuden clicked his tongue and uncrossed his arms.

    “It won’t work.”

    “yes? “What is that…”

    It was the moment when Santoni was about to ask something.

    The air became several times heavier and pressed down on his body from top to bottom.

    “Khaak!”

    Santoni fell flat on the floor.

    It looked as ugly as a frog.

    Freuden looked down at Santoni who was lying face down on the ground and unable to even raise his head with a cold gaze.

    “Freuden! “What are you doing now?”

    Santoni’s friend came forward and asked Freuden harshly.

    However his protest was extinguished as easily as a candle blown by the wind the moment he met Freuden’s gaze.

    Freuden’s gaze went beyond him and reached the two noble ladies who were observing the situation from behind.

    The noble ladies shivered as their skin felt cold.

    “Still don’t know why I’m doing this?”

    “yes yes? “We don’t know why Freuden is doing this.”

    “It’s done. “It’s probably not worth telling you.”

    Freuden clicked his tongue blatantly and Santoni lifted the crushing spell.

    Santoni finally freed from the pressure stood up gasping for breath.

    His face was a mess. His face was stuck on the dirt floor so he was covered in dirt and drooling and snot from the pain.

    His gaze towards Freuden was a mixture of anger embarrassment and fear.

    “Leave that child alone.”

    “Are you protecting the common people now? Mr. Freuden?”

    “Commoners? “That’s a funny thing to say.”

    Freuden curled one corner of his mouth with a sneer.

    “I just did it because I didn’t want to see trash being set up by unbecoming nobles. why. Are you angry? Are you angry because you suddenly got into trouble?”

    “Oh no.”

    Santoni immediately lowered his head.

    Even though he is the son of a count his opponent is the legitimate son of a duke.

    Didn’t you feel it keenly when you fell under his magic a little while ago that his greatness was not simply inflated?

    The magic manifestation process was not visible. I really suffered without knowing anything.

    I was angry but more than that I was afraid.

    “Get out. “I won’t say anything.”

    Freuden hated repeating the same thing.

    Santoni and the ladies who realized this just a moment ago hurriedly ran away.

    It was truly an unsightly appearance fit for a defeated soldier.

    Liné could only watch the scene without even being able to close her slightly open mouth.

    When the Santoni group completely disappeared Freuden sighed and approached Line.

    Only then did Line come to his senses.

    “Senior Seo?”

    “Get up.”

    Freuden said that and extended his hand to Rine.

    Line looked at his face and hands in turn then said that it was helpful and increased her strength.

    Freuden shrugged and withdrew his hand.

    Line bowed her head to Freuden.

    “…Thank you for your help.”

    “What? “I just did what I had to do.”

    “Okay then I’ll be alone.”

    As Line said that she looked at her lunch box scattered on the floor and sighed.

    Money is tight these days because of textbook fees and even the barely prepared rice is rolling around on the dirt floor.

    “Was it lunch?”

    “It was like that.”

    “Tsk. It must be difficult to eat like that. “What are we going to do?”

    “No no! are you okay! “But you can eat the potatoes here if you shake off the dirt.”

    “…It fell to the ground?”

    Line also seemed to have thought that she had said something and immediately smiled awkwardly and covered it up.

    “lol. Just kidding. I guess I’ll just have to starve for lunch. It worked. “It’s perfect if you think of it as dieting.”

    “It looks like there’s nowhere else to go.”

    “Thank you for your positive comments.”

    Liné smiled bitterly. He was also extremely grateful that Freuden was able to accommodate his mood.

    Freuden who had been looking at Line for a moment turned around and said.

    “Follow me.”

    “yes?”

    “Because I was planning on having lunch at the same time.”

    “Uh… If it’s lunch Mr. Freuden are you sure you’re eating here?”

    “I like to eat in quiet places.”

    “ah. “In that garden?”

    “okay. And I basically pack my meals with my own hands.”

    “yes?”

    That’s my first time hearing it. Freuden asked if that was why he wasn’t coming.

    Liné was confused and followed Freuden thinking that the water had already been spilled.

    The place I followed him to was a small garden that I had visited before.

    When I thought about it the place where Santoni forcibly dragged her was near the garden. So Freuden heard the commotion and came to check.

    “There you are.”

    Freuden picked up a small bundle placed on one side of the vacant lot.

    What was inside was a lunch box. Judging from the luxurious appearance of the lid it appeared to be Freuden’s personal item.

    But what was inside was more than that.

    Because it was full of luxurious-looking dishes that she could never have imagined.

    It was even beautifully decorated so just looking at it made my mouth water.

    “Is this your lunch?”

    “okay. “If it’s okay let’s share.”

    “yes?”

    “I don’t think I can eat it all by myself. “I got so excited while making it that I ended up making too much.”

    “yes?!”

    Line had no choice but to be the flagship.

    While making it? Could it be that this lunch box was also made by Freuden himself?

    “Surely you made all of this?”

    “okay. The family cooks are not trustworthy at all. “Ever since I was seven I’ve read books and always cooked my own meals.”

    “Since the age of seven?”

    Liné felt dizzy.

    What did I do at that age?

    Line tried to think of the past but nothing came to mind.

    To begin with she was an orphan with no parents or a home.

    When I came to my senses I realized that I had grown up in a church and when I grew up I was noticed by an eccentric wizard and was taught miscellaneous magic.

    And thanks to the preferential system I was able to enter Seorn.

    “ruler. “Try it.”

    “Is it really okay for me to do that?”

    “hurry.”

    “Oh yes.”

    Rine nodded because it was difficult to bear the hunger that she refused and it seemed disrespectful to the person who saved her.

    And the moment she picked up a piece of meat with the prepared fork and ate it Line’s eyes widened at the feast of flavor exploding in her mouth.

    ‘oh my god. ‘It’s so delicious!’

    She has a low appetite and can eat just about anything but it wasn’t to the point where she couldn’t tell the difference between dishes made with so much care.

    Line once again realized how great of a person Freuden was.

    I have a nice family and I look good too. A nobleman who can even say these lyrics.

    Isn’t he like the protagonist of a romance novel that is very popular among young girls these days?

    Liné wondered why such a person took such good care of her.

    if?

    Liné who was secretly looking forward to it shook her head.

    ‘no way. What is it like me? I guess they just said that because my senior was a good person. ‘Let’s just eat something.’

    After eating something delicious I felt like all the bad things that had happened a while ago were washed away.

    Freuden stared in silence as Linnet ate.

    * * *

    Night has come.

    Streetlights turned on by magic clearly shone illuminating the streets and light that had not yet been extinguished leaked through the windows of several buildings.

    I walked in the darkness where even such light could not reach.

    Entrance to the Forest of Dreams.

    Because we promised to meet here.

    ‘Aren’t you here yet?’

    At that time Teacher Selina came to the vacant lot where she helped the students make a contract with the spirits but there was no sign of them around.

    Occasionally faintly glowing spirits appeared in the darkness but when they saw me they got scared and ran away.

    This is the First Order that we encounter for the first time.

    What kind of person is he and will he even notice that I am not the real Ludger Chelsea?

    This was the place to confirm it.

    [You came early?]

    A voice came from the darkness.

    At the same time embers flickered in the air and soon turned into a fireball the size of a human fist.

    I stared at the flame with sunken gaze.
