I like traveling the most

"Raijin Akabane, come forward.

"Yes!"

On the podium, the resonant voice of the principal with an elegant beard and a strong and sturdy body echoed in the cold lecture hall.

As he was called, Akabane Raijin walked slowly to the bottom of the podium with the help of Ye Ye.

His right arm was hanging on his neck, and the crutches were clamped under the bend of his left arm. His head and neck were tightly wrapped in bandages, and his body was in tatters.

There were hundreds of students in formal wear watching him under the podium.

Although a few of them had expressions of jealousy and disgust, the vast majority of them were kind, and no one looked down on the freshman who defeated Felix (No. 4), one of the thirteen.

This was a gift-giving ceremony specially organized for Akabane Raijin, and almost all the participants of the night party were summoned. Everyone present knew that this was to build momentum for the new candidate.

Below the podium.

In the inconspicuous corner on the far left of the first row, Charlotte sat with Kobayashi, and did not attract the attention of others.

She was obviously the biggest victim in this incident, but no one mentioned it now.

People are unwilling to admit their mistakes, so it is impossible to ask them to apologize to Charlotte who was framed.

Charlotte held the shrunken dragon-shaped automatic doll in both hands, and couldn't help but whispered her inner doubts: "Is it really okay to do this?"

"What do you mean?" Kobayashi asked back.

"Originally, you should have been the one standing on the stage." She complained softly, as if she felt it was unfair that Kobayashi did not get the reward he deserved.

Kobayashi shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. This is part of the deal between Akabane-kun and me, and I also have reasons not to be noticed by others. "

Felix, who served as the head of the Discipline Committee, had such a bad behavior that it caused a lot of doubts inside and outside the academy, so the principal deliberately portrayed the person who solved the incident as a hero, trying to divert everyone's topic and focus.

Kobayashi made a deal with Akabane Raimin.

He helped the other party get the qualification to participate in the night party, and Akabane Raimin helped him meet with Hanayusai Shoko. In addition, Kobayashi's application for admission was forged and it was not suitable to be too prominent, so all the credit was given to Akabane Raimin.

The kindness generated by this incident can make Akabane Raimin feel proud to a certain extent. Lei Zhen spoke well of him.

Professor Kimberly, who was acting as a witness, was surprised when she knew it, but she did not ask for the specific reason and agreed to the request very straightforwardly.

Charlotte raised her eyebrows and was a little excited.

In her opinion, no matter what she did was right or wrong, she had to bear the corresponding consequences.

Since Felix, who killed many students, was expelled and held accountable, Xiaolin, who found out the truth and stopped him, should also receive corresponding rewards and praise.

But Xiaolin's behavior of handing them over to others puzzled her.

"It doesn't matter, I don't care about these. It doesn't matter whether other people know it or not, as long as Charlotte knows everything I did."

Because she can testify for herself.

"Um...!"

For some reason, Charlotte suddenly whimpered and her cheeks flushed.

You blushed like a bubble teapot!

Xiaolin's mouth twitched slightly, and she always felt that she had misunderstood something. ˜"*°•.˜˜.•°*"˜

"And, although there was no such gifting ceremony, I still got the corresponding reward. "

After saying that, he raised his right hand.

At this time, the principal on the stage said loudly: "In the name of Edward Rutherford, I recognize you as one of the candidates for the Demon King and allow you to attend Walpurgis's night party. "

The person on the side presented a silver tray with dazzling gloves on it.

The gloves sewn with gold thread were very beautiful, and the fabric used was also high-quality silk, which shone with a bright luster.

-Gloves that represent the qualification for the night party.

It is exactly the same as the gloves worn on Kobayashi's right hand, both in style and texture.

To be honest, he doesn't need gloves.

However, he has not met Hualiuzai Shaozi yet, and he doesn't know whether the two can reach a consensus to cooperate to a certain extent, so the qualification to participate in the night party is retained as a backup plan.

I hope it won't cause any trouble to me.

If he is besieged and attacked by dozens of students every day like Charlotte, I'm afraid he may clear the academy in a rage.

When Charlotte saw the gloves, her excitement was obviously relieved a lot.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but her tone was arrogant: "The night party has become cheap. Even you can become a glove holder. I think this world is going to end. "

"Uh..."

"What, what's wrong? "

"Although you are required to be a tsundere because of the distinct role, how about you honestly and sincerely congratulate me now?"

"What...!"

The tsundere girl stared at Kobayashi in front of her with wide eyes. After a few seconds, her cheeks flushed and her eyes were erratic. Her mouth moved for a long time before she squeezed out a sentence as thin as a thread.

"——Congratulations."

God knows how much strength the girl used to say this shameful congratulation. Sigmund in her arms was almost strangled to death. This was already quite shameful for her.

She kept glancing at the person next to her with her slightly lowered eyes, wanting to know if the words just now satisfied the other person.

However——

Kobayashi pouted and said, "Forget it, you should still be a tsundere, otherwise your only cute point will be gone."

"You are such a person...!"

Charlotte clenched her fists angrily and resisted punching him.

No, he still punched.

The punch was very fast, and because she was sitting down, her hands hit Xiaolin's waist and abdomen. If it weren't for the lack of force, Xiaolin would have thought Charlotte was angry.

He lowered his head and saw a small box tied with a golden ribbon.

"...is this one?"

"Are you an idiot? Of course it's a congratulatory gift! Well... for now... at any rate... even though it's forced by the situation, objectively speaking, it's not impossible that you saved me..."

It was really embarrassing for her to come up with such a complicated reason to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Charlotte."

Xiao Lin simply took it.

The arrogant girl saw that he had stopped and a smile appeared on her face. The next second she realized that she had lost her composure, and she immediately tilted her head and snorted, pretending to be arrogant.

Xiao Lin untied the ribbon and found a silver pendant quietly placed inside.

"Spell?"

"It's a defensive seal!"

The round pendant is engraved with unknown runes.

Xiao Lin couldn't understand it, but he was greatly shocked.

Because he felt some elf characteristics from it! He can be sure that this is definitely very valuable!

Sigmund also persuaded: "Just accept it, Xiaolin. Ciel has been thinking about this gift for a long time."

"You, you, shut up, Sigmund! Be careful I only let you eat crumbs from tomorrow on!"

Charlotte burst into tears, her face flushed, and she tightened her hands around Sigmund, not daring to look at Xiao Lin.

"I can use magic, this kind of thing is of no use to me"...etc. Xiaolin would never say such a low emotional intelligence statement.

But Charlotte also understood, she sighed slightly and said: "This talisman is just the icing on the cake for you, it won't be of much use at all."

"Oh, you can actually know idioms, are you a little surprised?"

Xiao Lin looked at the proud girl in surprise, then smiled slightly and said: "This is your wish, how could I not accept it."

"……snort."

Charlotte snorted again and said: "Don't get me wrong, you are not the only one who has this! That guy... Lei Zhen also has a talisman with the same effect. After all, who makes you all pure barbarians?"

The girl's arrogance escalated again, and she even used others to cover her.

"Haha, it turns out there are all of them..." Xiao Lin sighed longly, seeming very disappointed.

"Wha...what, that expression."

"It's nothing. I think I'm the only one who's special. I'm such an idiot."

"No, that's not the case! Your talisman is much more precious than the Lei Zhen talisman. It is the legacy of my grandmother...!"

The arrogant girl hurriedly explained, but when she saw Xiaolin's teasing expression, she knew that she was being played, and she was immediately ignited with anger.

"Sigmund, use the beam cannon!"

"receive!"

"Wait, don't be impulsive! Take back the magic power!"

After Xiao Lin's constant apologies and comfort, the arrogant girl calmed down her excitement.

But he hesitated and asked a strange question.

"I said, what Felix said before, what should I do if the royal family really pursues you? You will have no place in this country. In that case, it doesn't matter."

"It doesn't matter."

Xiao Lin's answer remained the same, and he even said calmly with full confidence: "Don't talk about going against the royal family, I am not afraid even if I am the enemy of the whole world."

The worst case scenario is running away.

Sorry, if you can travel across the world, you can do whatever you want.

"Yes...that's it."

Charlotte murmured softly, not sure what the intention of her question was. But the other party lowered her head slightly, with an inexplicable smile on her lips, and she always felt that she had misunderstood something.

——————

The student restaurant in the central area of ​​the atrium.

It was still in the corner, with several people sitting at the same table. No one around them dared to come up to them, and they were even more afraid of them than before.

Xiaolin looked around and couldn't help teasing Akabane Raijin: "How about it, how does it feel to be a hero?"

"It sucks."

Akabane Lei sighed deeply.

He was already eye-catching, but after [defeating] Felix, he attracted even more attention from others.

Akabane Leizhen asked: "But is this really good? Give me the credit or something."

"It's okay, it's okay." Xiaolin waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "You became a hero to attract attention for me, and I also got the qualification to participate in the night party, so what's the point of dissatisfaction? Besides, the reason why I can't attract attention, Akabane-kun You know it very well."

"...That's right."

Akabane Lei nodded.

Staring at the glove on his right hand, he couldn't help but reach out and rub it.

The texture is good and feels soft and smooth.

Akabane Lei really endured a lot of hardships for it.

"Wait, wait!" Seeing the two of them so relaxed, Charlotte slapped the table and lectured: "What do you two think of the night party? It is a ruthless competition for survival, and anyone who can get in the way will be eliminated. Only those who are clean can gain everything!”

This is her consistent argument.

Even though Felix taught her a lesson because of this, she never changed.

"So, I think you should know that once we meet on the battlefield of the Night Club-"

"We're each other's enemies, right?"

"That's right! Sigmund and I will do our best to defeat you!"

The girl with the login code [Tyrant of King's Landing] issued a declaration of battle at this moment.

"But I will be merciful."

"Varied……!"

The girl's tough aura dissipated at this moment, but she couldn't help but feel angry the next second.

because--

"The same goes for you, Akabane-kun."

"...You are such a person."

Charlotte no longer knew how to express her feelings at the moment.

"Haha... I really admire the Dinosaur girl for daring to speak so wildly." Akabane Lei sighed longly and said: "Even if you say that, I think Xiaolin you are a very difficult potential enemy, and you don't know how to defeat it at all. you."

"……really."

Even Charlotte had to admit it.

Liu Zi is so buggy!

"But! Even so, I don't plan to give in simply. After all, I have a reason to win!" Akabane Lei Zhen also showed a high fighting spirit.

"The reason for winning..."

Charlotte repeated in a low voice that she also had a reason why she couldn't give in.

In the Demon Eater incident, the main reason why she was targeted by Felix was not only because [Demon Dragon Roar] was very similar to [Demon Eater], but also because she had collected many magic circuits.

She was looking for separated family members.

To be precise, it was her family's former automaton, and those magic circuits were the hearts of her family members that she had recovered through the scholarship.

The house of Earl Biraud, where Charlotte lives, was once a famous family of clever magicians that Britain was proud of. There were many automatons living in the house who were like family members.

But one day, her beloved canine automaton accidentally hurt a distinguished guest. Because of this accident, Count Birao's family was deprived of their title, and their family fortunes fell into decline. The territory was recovered and most of the automatons were dismantled.

Even during the boarding college, even her parents and sister were missing and they were eventually kicked out of the college.

Charlotte believed that she was responsible for this situation, so she came to Wangli Jiji Academy and participated in the night party in order to ascend the throne of the Demon King.

Because she knows that just buying her family's magic circuit is not enough.

No matter what, he must become a demon king and gain recognition, regain his name as an earl, and live with his family again.

The girl slowly said: "Actually, I have a dream."

"I dream that one day, the valleys will rise and the mountains will descend; the rough and tortuous roads will become smooth, and the holy light will be revealed and illuminate the world?"

"...What is that?"

"A Negro's Speech."

"What does it have to do with black people!"

Xiao Lin deliberately said strange words to make the tsundere girl very angry, and all the sadness she had finally brewed was destroyed.

Of course, this was Xiaolin's intention.

Everyone has a reason to fight, and sadness and anger account for most of them. For Xiao Lin, who likes to laugh and chatter, such negative emotions are absolutely unacceptable.

but--

Charlotte was right, the nightclub was a ruthless struggle for survival.

There are only a hundred participants. Although it is very small compared to the huge base of puppet masters, the power behind them almost covers the whole world!

Various groups, chaebols, associations, and armies.

They sponsor these participants, and their goal is naturally the only throne of the Demon King.

[The Demon King] is not bound by the International Magic Charter and the ethics of magicians. He can read all forbidden books, use all forbidden magic, and can also explore immortality and genetic modification, and can even rob other forces. The impact and benefits are immeasurable.

Night party? Boxing meeting!

"But these have nothing to do with me."

Xiaolin is taking a bath in the hot spring.

The night party is about to start, and there are really not many people who are as relaxed as him.

Putting a towel on his head, Xiaolin lay on his back beside the hot spring, soaked his whole body in the hot water, and sighed happily.

At this time, a lazy inquiry came from beside him.

"-What's the water temperature, boy."

"The water temperature is just right...?"

Xiao Lin took off the towel and looked at the person standing in front of his head.

She is a mature woman wearing a bath towel.

She has lavender shawl hair, one eye, and a tall figure. The bath towel she is wearing is a little too small, which further shows off her proud protrusion.

And because of the bird's eye view, you can see more exaggerated scenery.

Xiao Lin's hands began to move around unconsciously.

He wants to make waves.

…

…

That's right, it's a big deal.
