I Quit Saving the Academy Heroes

New Party Member

A little bit of what she just said.

No, it was a bit of a shock.

Then Aine speaks.

“Actually, my sister is sick… I needed money.”

I was terribly perplexed by her story.

‘already… ?’

First, let’s listen to Aine’s explanation.

“I went to the doctor and gave him medicine, but it didn’t work.”

That’s right, I thought.

First of all, I know why her sister is sick.

“I worked hard, but I couldn’t raise enough money to receive treatment from the priest. Meanwhile, Leo… ”

I nodded.

Roughly what happened, I can understand.

There was a problem.

Aine continues to speak.

“Since then, I have always wanted to tell the truth… I fear that Louis-sama would be disappointed if I heard that he agreed to the deportation after receiving the money… ”

No, it would have been better to tell the whole truth.

“Well, I didn’t mean to be left alone! I wanted to do a party with Louis-nim, even if it was just the two of us, so after that, I secretly submitted an application for withdrawal!”

“Although we were expelled on the contrary,” she replies.

“In the first place, the two of you can’t even apply for a new party, right? Aren’t you supposed to graduate from the academy?”

“Hehe… If I’m with Louis-sama, I wonder if something will happen… ”

“You have nothing to do with it.”

I said to her who was talking with a mischievous laugh.

“By the way, are you talking about this now?”

I pinned her head down.

“Oh! It hurts!”

“No, even if I was worried that I would be disappointed… Wouldn’t it be more disappointing if you didn’t say anything?”

“ah… !”

“Don’t make a face that you understand.”

“Still, it’s true that I sold it for money… ”

“Is your sister sick?”

She knows very well what her older sister means to Aine.

Not because of game knowledge.

After Aine became close with me, she told me a lot about her sister.

“Well, I’m sorry.”

“Well, if that’s the case, I can understand.”

In the first place, you either get money to save your sister, or you get expelled from school.

It was one of those two.

Aine’s position is understandable.

Of course, I know that even Leo cannot expel Aine from the academy at will.

From the point of view of a commoner, and of course, the orphan Aine, it would have been really scary if the heir of the duke family had said such a thing.

I’ve been under a lot of stress lately because of her stalking.

In the end, that was the reason I wanted to tell the truth to me.

There, he said he wanted to do a party with me and submitted an application for withdrawal.

No, even if that were the case, it would be impossible for the two of us to have a party.

To be honest, I would be lying if I said that I didn’t feel bad at all.

It was okay to hear that the reason was her sister.

If it’s my sister’s problem, I can’t help it.

“Uh… ”

Aine looked at me and asked carefully.

“Then, will you forgive me… ?”

“I’m sorry I didn’t say it right away, but… ”

“Sorry for that!”

“… Still, I know what your sister means to you. it’s okay.”

Hearing my words, Aine’s face brightens.

“Lou, Louie! thanks… !”

“No, but it is. If you need money, can’t you just ask me?”

“Yes? Louie, you don’t have money.”

Oh yeah.

I always lamented that I didn’t have enough money in front of Aine.

“… But didn’t I often buy you rice too?”

“Right. But, to get treatment in the church, money is… ”

Although Aine wiggles her tail.

I too knew what she was trying to say.

‘Ah, that would be too much for me.’

I left this topic aside and asked Aine.

“As a result, Leo’s plan failed, and he didn’t want to give the money back?”

“No, I haven’t said that yet.”

“I’m glad. If he threatens you, tell me.”

Then, Aine shakes her head.

“I can’t cause any more trouble to Louis-sama now.”

“No, doing things alone like this one would be more troublesome for me, so it means that you should discuss it in advance.”

“ah… ”

Seriously, as far as expelling me, no matter how I understand it.

There, he said that he would do party activities with me again, and he also left the group.

I don’t know what the hell you’re thinking.

“And, no matter how Leo you are, you can’t just kick someone out, so don’t worry too much.”

“yes!”

Although the prestige of the Duke of Epsylt is truly amazing.

This academy is the precinct of the Chancellor, Louisa Falken.

No matter how much the Epsylt dukes were, they couldn’t do it openly.

Anyway, I heard everything about the matter from Aine.

At first, I felt very betrayed, but after hearing the story, I understand.

Because she betrayed me, she came out on her own to have a party with me.

And above all else.

To be honest, I was a close friend until just before the expulsion.

When she consented to my deportation, although she did not express it, it was very hurtful.

Was it because of your sister?

And in that she told the truth, I thought I was lucky.

So, is there any problem with this?

… No way.

The problem still remains.

That is also a very big problem.

Earlier, Aine said that she had received money from Leo to entrust her sister’s treatment to the priest.

At the same time, however, he did not properly say whether he was eventually cured.

Perhaps, according to my expectations, even if the priest received treatment, it would not have had much effect.

I asked Aine.

“So, kid, how about your sister?”

“… He was treated by a high priest.”

Where does her face, which was brightened by my saying that it’s okay, go?

Aine was crying again.

“Not at all, it didn’t work… ”

That’s right.

Because her sister’s illness was not an ordinary one.

I asked what was the most questionable.

“Your sister, since when have you been sick?”

“It was from the beginning of last year.”

damn it was

Of course, I was completely unaware of it.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Ugh… ”

Aine hesitated again.

I stared at her

Finally, she answers with a slight blush.

“On that… Louis-sama is kind, so I thought he would definitely try to help me.”

she avoids my eyes

“But I thought I shouldn’t cause any more trouble, right? So I didn’t say… My sister’s condition has deteriorated.”

“therefore?”

“I kept thinking about it, and in the end, when I was thinking about asking Louis-sama for help, Leo came and… ”

I let out a small sigh.

No, I’d rather just ask for something like that.

If it had been, this wouldn’t have happened in the first place…

‘No.’

If Aine didn’t accept Leo’s proposal, I’d still be bothered by them.

I wonder if Leo was holding back from scratching my temper again?

Thinking like that, I started to get confused whether this was rather fortunate.

“Then, what have you been missing lately on weekends and evenings to make money?”

“yes. Somehow, I need money to buy medicine.”

“Stop it.”

“yes… ?”

Aine’s eyes widen as if she didn’t know I would say such a thing.

“I’ll take care of your sister’s job, so stop working now.”

“Is that true! thank you! Thank you so much!”

Aine bowed her head violently without questioning me.

Tears of joy were welling up in the corners of her eyes, who were constantly shouting thanks.

“Yeah, but, after all, I don’t need money… ?”

she asks cautiously.

uh, I don’t need it.

That too a lot.

With only your part-time job, you have no jaw, baby.

But we always have another solution: force.

… Originally, if you don’t have money, your body suffers.

Anyway, I told her.

“it’s okay. Also, shouldn’t we have to take time off on the weekends to do party activities?”

“Are you accepting me!”

When she asked with a happy face, I nodded.

Anyway, it was difficult to do party activities in the current state.

Before going back into the classroom, I asked one last question.

“Ai, aren’t you sick somewhere?”

“… I am fine!”

I could see that she hesitated a little.

—

“Disciple, why are you so late for going to the bathroom? This master was boring!”

“… It’s not what I’m going to say, but Master has no friends other than me… Would you like to make friends?”

I was about to ask if he had any friends, but he quickly changed his question.

Anyway, all of Master’s friends must have graduated while smoking tigers.

Master answers in a slightly morose voice.

“For some reason, the other cadets don’t seem to want to be friends with me.”

“Well, the generation gap… ”

“yes? What did you say?”

“it’s nothing.”

“I feel bad for some reason. Anyway, all I need is you, Louis!”

To those unfamiliar words, I couldn’t answer properly.

Anyway, I told her about the party thing.

“Master, how about adding a new member to our party?”

“Oh, I am good! Anyway, I can’t even function properly like this!”

We currently have only two people in our party.

It has doubled compared to before Master came in, but the party capacity is originally seven.

“By the way, has anyone thought of it?”
