Chapter 60: Shina Under the Moonlight (2)
aqc0e1FThe man cut in quickly.Za63X4F
qz5xAh, you were an educator. Nice to meet you. My name is Silvar Cosine. My father is a deputy director of Creas. With all due respect, I fell in love at first sight. I would be very honored to have a chance to court you.1om80p0
JQLZoShirone, along with his friends, were bewildered.gpOG
f0dEOVThat is the worst kind of self introduction I have ever heard. Whos going to fall for that?LvLlbAq
7UvAHowever, it probably was a natural procedure in the aristocratic society.Esp
P56xmSiena didnt respond much. She just rested her forehead on her hand and sighed.jIoXy
f49YAlthough she didnt show on the outside, Sienas heart felt like it was burning in hells fire.BhQ
KRthi0JHer heart sank every time she imagined Keiras gaze.6qVX0n
XmypNShe must hate me. I shouldnt have gone there. No, I shouldnt have contacted him from the beginning.jOVo4vf
xiW4tOf course, the memories she had were those of when they were children, so she didnt feel a sense of betrayal from Armin even when he appeared with Keira.W3a
IkLD9However, it would be a lie to say that she didnt have any hope. The feeling of what it would be like when they met again.9MN8J
spevmyThe feeling of her heart racing and the thought of wanting to go back in time never left her.QUm
ooT3ykBut Is this love? I havent wanted anyone since the incident that day.UhP0f4
YZB1scoSilvar continued.EAnw
6UA24Excuse me, I introduced myself too grandly. Im sorry. I guess I had a strong desire to look good because I met a woman I didnt want to let go. Please, forgive me for my rudeness.WbsN
9at1Its fine. Im tired, so please go away.aURL3
78PhbMSiena was actually really tired.O7IYbL
PYxezEOf course, for a certified Grade 6 mage to forcibility break out from their drunken state wasnt anything difficult, but Siena still needed the effects of the alcohol right now. She wanted it.2XC
G1TxShe wanted to forget everything. If she could, Siena wanted to wash away her memories with even more alcohol.oDdaq
HIcisx0Mmm.i3cSTRm
wLYy3GaWhen Siena, who had entrusted her mind to intoxication, faltered, Silvar hurriedly supported her.AGv
4wb4QLeaving a woman alone is not chivalry. I will guide you to the carriage.A5lV
kfJynNade glared.aw86LWl
Mq6goFWhat are you doing right now? Dont you dare touch our teacher without permission.y5fFv
BcsAThere must be some kind of misunderstandingIm trying to help her. You guys can go your merry ways now. Ill call a carriage.yQgsjs
dgMsTDespite Nades dissuasion, when Silvar moved to stand Siena up, Shirone grabbed him by the wrist.umyjz
PXlnSilvars face distorted. He decided to deal with the situation the fastest way.oCpF
8DTAfYpWho told you you can just grasp an adults wrist like that? You better let go while Im telling you nicely.EPj5Z6
KMQFShirone didnt back down.bjTzJQ
dApShe said shes fine. Please leave. We will take our teacher.knj4
vGONUOFYou take a persons word for a joke, dont you? I saw earlier that you guys were the ones making her drink that whole bottle. Will you come to your senses after all three of you are expelled from whatever academy you hail from?9hJl
11w8hwYiruki scoffed.Rqli4
4ZeYou are the one who needs to come to their senses the most out of everyone here. Since your fathers a deputy director, you should be more careful with keeping up your appearance. If you continue to act like this, who will lose more out of this situation if it gets spread. You or us?Cr7
HGMJ8cSilvar hardened his eyes.J3k
leiTKVWhat did you just say?y7B
p3XaLM2Ah, your title! Im pretty sure there was a formal title for the son of a deputy director.waXKS
6qPYou mannerless bastard!2QRW3
sM7ZCSilvar turned his drunkenness into anger and grabbed Yiruki by the collar. However, as a tingling shock spread through his side, his hand lost its strength.ajqW90
25ix4He gasped, cradling his wounded side. He stepped back.T83
TgzWh-What was that?Lt2x
CwMTANade was holding electricityKkZVUq
PExZaFTYoure going too far. Were only holding back because were outside of the academy. If you want, we can also go somewhere where there are no people.vLf
UCqjU9Silvars companion spoke out.0UNu2
tF2ydKMHey Those guys Theyre magic academy students.lG0i
tkKISXMagic academy? Alpheas Magic Academy?W7L
1NjSilvars expression grew dark.SlE
jWsHBiThe magic academy itself was different from a normal aristocratic academy. Furthermore, the Alpheas Magic Academy was one of the five most prestigious academies where only the best aristocrats gathered.sI908
rU8YJDamn it! For them to be students of that academy. Its an academy run and sanctioned by the nation, so even my father cant pull his strings.HbLU6j
XWmlSeeing the wheels turning inside Silvars head, Yiruki read his thoughts. He rolled his eyes and approached him with a snort.t0EeWyz
UkqOOe6So, youre going to kick us out of the academy?xpKGxs
TILmEWAh, no. The thing isnz00tY
7oprIm Yiruki Mercodine. I dont care what you do, but come to the academy if you have a problem. You can find me there.PL7MO
0r0SLjM-MercodinewWVf
M2lYSilvar snapped out from his drunken state. It didnt matter if Creas was a province or a capital. This was because among the nobles of the kingdom of Thromia, there was no one who did not know of the surname Mercodine.V1s
7QcyThey were the most intelligent and educated family in the kingdom, a first-class aristocratic House. Their place as the head of the Kings Commission, an advisory body to the king, had never once been taken away for hundreds of years.puBY
ieFV* * *egv
9VxLpMz* * *qAuAZI
2IUYiruki looked bitter as he saw Silvars flustered state.9ouxu
P32dvDOnes family was everything to aristocrats.cqZu1nB
jGfRbOsNevertheless, the reason for threatening Silvar using a method he hated was to protect Siena.2ioU
4eriHe didnt hold a position high enough to pull strings, but he could deal some damage by using the fact that Siena was an instructor.rp84LX
iU9Though, there was no way that a mere noble could match her, a past student of the Olifer Academy.3agiau
UzwJZvThe handsome guys companion tugged Silvar by his sleeve.sqqsiY
w7pSSLets go, Silvar. Hey, Silvar.lXf
7U97SQSilvar wanted to retaliate, but he left the restaurant with his mouth shut.LHiW
LOVQ5uEven after they disappeared from their sight, Nade couldnt calm his anger.upBbj2f
ltZZZugGosh, the atmosphere is ruined. You know what they say, you dont know anything just by looking at the restaurant signs. Lets not come back ever again.IuN
mm2rKUShirone spoke.y7RB9Lz
I9EAYeah. Anyway, lets get out of here. Its getting dark. Teacher, are you alright? Lets head back now.IUjh08
DwnAxxMm.CgonRE
sk2y9L5Siena, who was still drunk, stood up with the help of her students.u1kNMD
2AqwK7Though she was lighty annoyed by the ruined atmosphere, she was already in a terrible mood before then. Seeing how her students stood by her firmly to protect her, she thought that she had made a good choice in becoming an instructor.TA8V4ZQ
rmxYtSiena paid for the meal without hesitation and left through the while still unsteady on her feet.oDf
pbNGPMoonlight was pouring down from the sky devoid of clouds.Kaq7R9
nlEHaah.6CDQo5
PqP6rBSiena let out a breath. She felt strangely good.79Y
I97yIt was probably because of the alcohol, but maybe she took a new leap today? She felt that she would be able to live her life not under the shadow and influence of Armin, but on her own.Fa4UOv
57VbqmBut it was most likely the alcohol doing the thinking for her.CZQ
ucrYxIlAh, I feel good. Today is nice.S0W
UylGI0As if possessed by the moonlight, Siena looked up at the sky and gave a tiny twirl.rkSpk
IOidvhThe jaws of the three leaving the restaurant dropped.dg1Ad
0hBLUnder the moonlight, she was so beautiful. The way her trench coat made a circle like an umbrella enhanced her beauty.W7EpiQ
BE8776EShirone and the other two stared with interest.Gu3T
iDMeodNShe dances when shes drunk. So that’s how shes like. How unexpected.sEGH
HjoK9VYo Cant this be a scoop?VZRQa
6cVOYiruki stroked his chin at Nades words.httEK
M4tHmm, you mean we should make a trade with this? A card to prevent the dispersion of our research group.SzwCt
zC59Siena, who had been in conflict with their Research Group for many years, wouldnt be able to dismiss it with a sneer.tLD2
hyaI think it can be done if we put it together properly. And although its kind of foul, its not like its a huge secret But wont she be embarrassed if she recalls the moment? I want to live the rest of my life, you know.xbD9
XQwDAQDShirone was lost in thought when the sight in front of him gave him a near heart attack.jnu5N
HjIzXcIHey, guys! Look!dOVc
BC6aSiena was stumbling around in the same place when her foot got tangled. Her center balance was about to tilt.QdYdN
x2plzeThe three jumped into action at the sight of their teacher about to fall flat on the floor.prUr
dtlUGo! GO! Grab her!cF7
nNPzShirone quickly supported her back while Nade and Yiruki grabbed onto her arms from both sides.mRE
lyZTeacher, wake up. You have to be sober so that we can go back to the academy.zAyu
VFGgtMmm. Dizzy.W8NZl
I1yyTNShe had emptied a bottle of cognac in an hour and twirled at least a dozen times.kvObdZs
y8dsM3SThis isn’t going to work. Hey Shirone, piggyback her8lkgI
HY81What? Why me?A186D
qytCXShirone complained.f4Aep
T6l8cXCause youre the strongest among us.ltuk8xl
JlknkrHaa52Rusz
GDYKyfkShirone couldnt deny it.FeMWN1I
cCPmgNSAll three were low on energy because they could not sleep and eat the day before because of magic training.HvOdzT
LlzAt least Shirone was better than his friends because he used to climb trees and mountains when he was young.ObM
BVUvXGGuess I have no choice. Okay, then put Ms. Siena on my back.Gi4QRJ
kiLxuPwDont make it so obvious that you hate this. Do you think the opportunity to piggyback our teacher comes everyday? Im rather jealous.bA6Pr
e6bwGWhen Shirone looked at Nade, he saw him giving him a big smile that was far from envious.c7W
IvEzu4Tsk. Cant make it any more obvious.p6UsSV
35PThe group left the aristocratic district and the number of people they came across decreased noticeably.ZoSB
QRGsI just noticed, but Ms. Siena is surprisingly small. She feels quite petite on my back. I thought she had a similar height as me.GiV9P
2ExGBEThats a psychological factor. Teachers usually look bigger than they actually are.UEt
gHOReally? But at the same time, shes also surprisingly heavy. Its slowly becoming harder.o1Ked
8Tl8Yiruki cackled.zRVk
GZx0HOf course. She is a human being. Women are all made up of bones, muscle, and flesh, too. You didnt seriously think shed weigh as light as a feather, right?P1Vf71
4I87TAlthough he never thought that, he had somewhat expected her to be light.LZl4
EUaNkHowever, he had never held a womans hand, let alone carried them on his back, so Shirone was a bit nervous.elkqyLo
MvAyHmph, I know that much. But Im seriously tired. I wont be able to reach the academy at this point.0TG
e7traWhat about using magic? You know, Air magic.HuIkx
xQQiizTShes still our teacher, isnt that a littleYaACn
is4Shirone, who couldnt even accomplish this seemingly simple task, complained.ghpNs
t41SWhat the heck is this? Theres three men, but the other two cant even carry a single woman. I shouldve just learned swordsmanship. My friend would have been able to carry her on his back.Q9PhsUo
DdoThe friend Shirone mentioned was none other than Rian.9UuVLib
bSbshJhNade and Yiruki didnt know who the friend was, but they looked ashamed of their poor physicality.w89w
UqsHowever, Siena was really heavier than they thought, and for those who only knew how to read books, they didnt have much muscle mass.fe9j
NJcJVNWhat can we do? The only exercise I do is breathing, but Im confident in using my brain.ycS
P1o3Yiruki snapped his finger.WnX
QtGiRlEThen we should use our brain. Swordsmen have Schema. We should learn that right now. Shirone, what do you say?JA9mtl
yeBXT89How does that make any sense? How will we do that all of a sudden?d0DDqUI
7ULKBtDBut we can try. In my case, I succeeded in the Spirit Zone in one try. You guys didnt?txJ2
9ZdNade spoke.55O
B6nMe too. After I got the hang of it, I got it to work right away. What about you, Shirone?WcULO
XC2Shirone, who was still struggling with Siena, raised his head.mClxG
A2sHuh? Oh, yeah, I succeeded in a single try, too. Actually, I didnt even know it was the Spirit Zone at the time.ft2i0
xdxIt sounded absurd to the other two.kCoXs
vcSYou entered the Spirit Zone without knowing it was the Spirit Zone?LtuCLz
hCj1GxYiruki cackled.yAB
uqmKekeke. Thats so like you. Anyhow, nothing is impossible. Isnt the basic principle the same for both anyway? Schema.dUWywW
dqW0oCiAfter a minute of thought, Yirukis word made sense. It would be their loss to assume without even trying.rMUTH
hv3lcThen shall we? Should we seriously try it? In fact, my arms are stiff and are ready to fall off.C4y9MD
