Became the Golden Sun of the Academy

53 – Charlotte Echoes (1)

“… ….”

Heidel leaned against the wall looking exhausted.

His whole body was stained with the blood that flowed from the chil-gong, but his expression was the same as when I first saw him.

After checking who pushed him as a war hero, he was indeed a worthy opponent.

Ella.

She was sprawled on the floor with her body severely constricted.

I wouldn’t have recognized who she was if it hadn’t been for her long ears.

“Did you kill the chairman?”

I approached and asked.

He took a cigarette out of his chest and placed it in his mouth.

“The one who defeated it was a spirit body. He didn’t knock down the main body, so he can’t be said to have killed him.”

He turned his head, looked at the diagonal lines on my clothes, and asked.

“Did I get hit by a paladin? No, a fire knight.”

It was not cut normally, but it was scorched black and the ashes flew around, so he must have guessed that.

“Yes.”

If I hadn’t helped him in the future, that mighty enemy he would have been beaten to death.

I replied with a look of resentment toward the man who summoned the enemy here.

Heidel sighed and emitted white smoke.

“Was it a good thing to bring Charlotte in?”

Her face crumpled at those words.

I was standing here promising that I would respond calmly in my own way, but I couldn’t control my expression because he said things like that with my mouth.

Damn it.

I didn’t seem to have the strength to resist right away, but I wanted to just kill him.

I managed to hold back the anger that had risen to the top of my head by biting my lips.

Because I haven’t killed him yet.

Because Heidel still has work to do while alive.

“If you have done this much, take responsibility for the rest.”

That’s because of the Holy Kingdom.

Even though it is said that the rumors spread by Heidel shake the kingdom, that alone will not completely destroy the great power.

For now, they may be quiet to calm the turmoil, but when the turmoil subsides, they can’t help but shy away from Sylvia’s presence, which makes them question their legitimacy.

At that time, something like today might happen again, so Heidel had to take care of them.

“It’s okay not to worry about that. Seongguk bastards will take care of it on my own.”

I turned around after hearing the answer.

If you listened to Heidel’s promise, your business was over for him right away.

Turning around, he heard Heidel’s voice over his shoulder.

“Father is like this, is she just leaving?”

Adele uttered a cold voice without stopping or looking back.

“Since it’s like that, I’m just going.”

If he had been a little better, he would have beaten him to the point of blood clots.

I thought I would die if I did that now, so I just left.

* * *

“I owe you this time.”

Sylvia’s accommodation with Tina and her distraught Charlotte.

When everyone fell to the floor or collapsed in exhaustion, Sylvia approached Adele and thanked her.

“I just did what I had to do.”

“No. This is not the right thing to do.”

Sylvia stands up from her wheelchair in front of Adele, who declines.

My legs were wobbly from the loss of strength from treating the injured a while ago, but I stood up to express my gratitude to Adele properly.

Sylvia lowered her head.

Her silvery hair hung down toward the floor.

“Thank you for your help. Thanks to you, I live again.”

She had previously been protected by Adele when she was almost attacked by Aurenima.

I still vividly remember the grace of that time, but she didn’t know how to reciprocate since this time she received help like this again.

He doesn’t help because he’s a saint, but he says as if he did the right thing, but even if it’s not completely false, it won’t be completely truthful either.

That’s why I unintentionally gave away the burden.

“Saint, raise her head… ….”

She dared not even lay her hand on her saintess, asking her to raise her head, and seeing Sylvia bowing her head to her, only Adele was troubled.

Noticing that, Sylvia jerked her head up and grabbed Adele’s hand.

She then put her hands to her own face.

“There is no need to feel burdened as a saint… ….”

She intended to raise her own head with his hand, as she did to Charlotte.

It was an act that said that it was okay to treat her comfortably without feeling burdened by her position as a saint, but looking back on it, she seemed to be a bit misunderstood.

That moment.

“…… No…… ?”

Pung.

Sylvia’s face, not accustomed to being touched by a man outside her, turned red without even noticing.

As if steam was rising from her hair, her eyes that widened in her hot face were a bonus.

“If you say so.”

Adele was reluctant to get Sylvia to raise her head, just like she did to Charlotte.

“…… ?”

She strained Sylvia’s neck and couldn’t lift her head at will.

“Holy Lady, it is embarrassing if you do this.”

Adele thought it was Sylvia’s insistence on showing her gratitude, even at her own request.

But she wasn’t really like that.

“I-I’m in trouble too.”

Sylvia said she just thought of showing her red-hot face, and she was embarrassed and her face got hot again and she didn’t want to show it.

In this state, if she raised her head and made eye contact with Adele, she would become embarrassed again and do not know what kind of rudeness she would show.

An action she took to protect her own dignity because she became accustomed to her behavior of keeping her dignity while living as a saint.

But Adele didn’t know that, and she lightly put strength on her hand and made Sylvia lift her head.

She herself said so, so she had no hesitation.

“Wow…… !”

Of course, it was impossible for the weak Sylvia to resist Adele’s strength.

She screamed childishly and forced her head up, and her eyes met Adele’s who was forcing her to look down.

Then his breath touched her face.

Gulp.

Sylvia swallowed her dry saliva until she could hear it.

Another startled heart pounding sound echoed in her head.

This sense of distance.

It was too close.

Although it was the distance she caused, it was burdensome.

She was difficult for Sylvia, who was not used to the opposite s*x, to maintain.

Wouldn’t the expression be strange?

I’m looking at my forehead because I don’t think I’ll be able to make eye contact.

She’s worrying so much, so Adele lets go of her.

“The saintess’ words alone are enough, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.”

After saying that, he turned around and entered the room.

Looking at his nonchalant reaction, it seemed that he was making too much noise alone.

Sylvia, still unsure of her situation, calmed her raging heart with her deep breath and sat back in her wheelchair.

And she just blinked blankly for a long time.

* * *

Charlotte came to her senses when she entered the room.

As she leaned against the back of the bed, seeing Tina eating the porridge she handed her to her, she wondered if she was okay, but she still didn’t like her complexion.

“Ah, it’s the young boy.”

Her ears pricked up and she knew I was coming in. She pretended to know first Tina.

I sat down on the bed and asked.

“How are you?”

“I received treatment from the saintess, and it seems to be okay… ….”

That was the moment Charlotte was trying to answer.

“Cough, Cough…… !”

At that time, a cough erupted.

Charlotte covered her mouth with her hand and coughed, then closed her fist and plunged it into her bed.

From noble mtl dot com

“… ….”

She watched him silently, then grabbed him by the wrist.

“Bocchan?”

After quietly raising his hand on the bed, he unfolded his fingers, and his palm was filled with red blood.

There were also traces of blood wiping it off with a tissue, as if he had coughed up blood several times already.

I did it by chance, but as expected.

Charlotte hurriedly withdrew her hand as if she had done something wrong.

She let out a sigh.

“Why didn’t you tell me your condition?”

I was caught up in the Heidel Witch Fairy Tale test.

As a side effect of that, he didn’t have much life left.

If she had known that, she wouldn’t have taken her with her when she had something to use her strength for.

“…… That’s why I’m not useful.”

Useless.

A person is not even a tool.

“No, even if you don’t, you’re helpful enough—”

“No.”

Charlotte cut me off.

“If the Bocchan had known how I was feeling, he would have left me alone in the mansion every day.”

It was a confident statement.

I don’t know where that confidence comes from, but it was an attitude that seemed to know me well.

“Bocchan is such a person. Then he would go to a dangerous place alone and come back injured again.”

I couldn’t refute it because it was right 100 times.

Even without Charlotte, I would have jumped at the monster to save Lucy, I would have faced the assassin sent by Nikita alone, and I would have fought the knights to protect Sylvia.

“Then how could I have told you about my condition… ….”

She said in a trembling voice as Charlotte wrapped her blanket around her tightly.

“You are cocky.”

Perfect!

As I said that, I placed a chestnut on Charlotte’s forehead as she lowered her head.

“Wow…… !”

Charlotte suddenly opened her eyes wide in the dead of night and rubbed her hand over her reddened forehead.

As if she didn’t know why she was hit, she put on an unfair expression as if she thought I didn’t recognize her dedication.

“You talk like you know me well, but you don’t know me very well.”

“What do you mean… ….”

Charlotte snapped as if to explain where she was wrong in her words.

“Did you think I would like it if you said that and sacrificed yourself?”

“… ….”

“No, I hate guys like you.”

Charlotte’s eyes widened in shock at her dislike.

She wanted to say something, but her lips trembled as if she couldn’t come out of her mouth.

“Who likes to snuggle up to something like that and whimper?”

She was almost on the verge of crying.

The tip of her nose turned red, and her tears welled up.

“He’s a guy who makes me worry.”

Charlotte looked at me as her shoulders trembled.

She smiled slightly, reassuringly, and pushed her Charlotte’s forehead with her finger.

Her head was thrown back behind her and her Charlotte’s head fell on her pillow.

“The fact that you are up now must have been overdoing it to reassure me. I’m more worried about you needlessly bluffing, so just grow up.”

As she said that, she pulled the blanket up to the boy’s chin and covered it.

Charlotte was still staring at me, blinking her eyes, forgetting her words. She

She told me to sleep, but she was the kind of guy who wouldn’t listen.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Will you sing me a lullaby?”

“… ….”

Somehow the silence seemed to wish for a lullaby, but she ignored it.

I guess I had a snowball fight with Charlotte who kept looking at me like that for about 5 minutes.

The guy closed his eyes because he couldn’t win against my flame, and within 10 seconds, he was breathing heavily and headed for the land of dreams.

I told Tina.

“Tina, I have some work to do, so I’m going to sleep. If something happens, tell the saintess outside.”

“Yes, I understand…… No see.”

After hearing Tina’s answer, I also sat down in a nearby rocking chair.

I closed my eyes and rummaged through the new memories organized in my head.

And I found those memories that were not mine but became mine.

‘Magic is…… I’ve left enough.’

A fairy tale from the future to the past self.

In that way, the future Adele helped me with Nikita and this case.

I didn’t know how much mana I needed, so I left it without fighting Heidel, but seeing the amount needed, I was good at leaving as much as possible.

I wondered if I would use up all the mana that he passed on to me if I activated this fairy tale.

‘Let’s do it.’

The subject of the fairy tale is Adele from the past.

That is, before Charlotte sacrificed herself as a test at the Witch Fairy Tale.

Recovering her physical condition, which currently has no way to improve her condition, is to remove the cause.

‘Fairy tale.’

At the same time as he said that, he began to lose consciousness.
