Love Letter From The Future

4. Rynella’s fate is decided by Rynella (16)

The next day I took the potion from Emma.

To be precise, it was poison. Emma warned me of the terrifying effects of this clear fluid.

“Be careful, even a single drop of demonic magic will make you faint in seconds. If you take more than that, you could die… By the way, do you need poison this strong?”

“Yeah, it’s better to pass out as quickly as possible.”

Emma couldn’t erase her worried mind.

Towards Emma, I suggested it like a joke.

“If you’re that worried, would you like to come with me?”

“… … Yes?”

Emma looked at me blankly, as if asking what she was talking about. A mischievous smile appeared on my lips.

“The Percus Territory. I just need to keep an eye on you to make sure you don’t do anything strange.”

Actually, it was just my personal greed.

I was worried about how much Emma would overdo it again while I was gone. She didn’t even eat well, so she wondered who would help her if she passed out like today.

It was such a short thought.

But to Emma, it seemed to have a special significance.

Holding her breath for a moment, Emma stared blankly at me.

long time to do that.

Emma finally let out a bitter smile.

“no, that’s fine.”

“For research?”

“Ugh, no. I am a commoner.”

I had to keep my mouth shut at that simple answer.

“What about servants who have to take care of commoners, just because they are friends of the young master? What about your noble family?”

“My family doesn’t care about that.”

“Maybe, but I care.”

Emma smiled slightly and persuaded me in a calm tone.

“Ian, I know my subject well. Even dreaming of standing by your side is greedy to me.”

How could I propose again to a woman who says so much?

I silently smiled bitterly and nodded my head.

“Someday, I’ll make sure that your lips say that you want to visit my parents first.”

“Will you?”

Emma then carefully took my hand. I could tell how she was feeling right now, just by looking at that pitiful smile.

“Thank you, Ian. And I’ll wait.”

“… … See you in the second semester.”

With those words, I finished saying goodbye to Emma.

Jim was unloaded. Not only did I have an expansion bag, but I was on my way home anyway.

The Percus family had a lot of luggage, so the only thing I had to pack was my armaments.

On the way to the warp gate, there were several unexpected people waiting.

First of all, a girl with gray hair.

“… … Seria?”

“Senior Ian!”

When I inadvertently called the name of my favorite junior, she came to me with a smile. Seria, the second-year head of the swordsmanship department and the genius swordsman of the Yurdina family, came to visit me.

I couldn’t guess the reason, so Seria couldn’t hide her joy and said to me who was standing there.

“Because my sister gave me instructions to head to the Percus Territory. First of all, command the private soldiers of the family stationed near the Percus Territory… … !”

Only then did I know what the ‘special gift’ that Delphine had been giving me was.

The identity of the gift was ‘Seria’.

Seria was my favorite junior, but she was also a swordsman who had reached the beginning of Expert.

Now that I have just become an expert, there is one fact that I am even more aware of.

The gap between experts and other prosecutors was wide and high.

For a small family like Percus, staying with just one expert was a perceptible virtue. Besides, Neris-senpai also decided to come back later, so it was safe to say that there were only three experts included in the available power.

The minimum condition for crushing the Dark Church’s conspiracy was satisfied.

Of course, Seria was not the only person who would be with her on her way home.

“Lord, master?”

The girl who approached me hesitantly, fidgeting with her cone hat, couldn’t hide her nervousness.

It was Elsie senior.

Immediately after the bombshell declaration yesterday, it became difficult for Elsie to return to her hometown. Rather than that, Elsie decided to go home together.

But these days, Elsie-senpai was a bit strange.

No, it was weird originally, but the attitude towards me was subtly different from before.

It was like that right now.

He glanced at me, then immediately blushed and lowered his head.

And lately, senior Elsie seemed to be having a hard time establishing a relationship with me. To be precise, it looked like he wanted to confirm a certain position from me.

A prime example of this was what happened in the city.

On the way to the warp gate, I received a flyer.

It was about protecting stray cats.

After being brutally beaten by a stray cat not too long ago, public opinion against stray cats has recently increased in the city. There seemed to be quite a few cat lovers against him.

Of course, I wasn’t interested in such a quarrel, so I tore it to pieces.

It was a matter of support for either side.

I had no intention of taking responsibility for a hasty judgment.

But Elsie-senpai, it seemed that that was bothering her.

A cautious question was posed to me.

“… … Master, do you like cats?”

“No, not really… It’s just that I think it looks cute.”

At my answer, Elsie jumped up and down with a look of resentment.

Enthusiasm erupted from her small mouth.

“Go, cats have no loyalty and are just a nuisance! Anyone who sees them will know that they are the owners? If you think that during the last monster raid, it was a dog, not a cat! just, just… Would you have died alone with tears in your eyes? But those hairless cockroaches… … .”

“… … Why are you competing with the cat?”

I pointed it out with a deep sigh, but senior Elsie’s cat bruising continued for a long time after that.

There was nothing to return except the look of half-giving up.

The unexpected companionship was not the only one.

Suddenly, I felt someone touch my shoulder.

No matter how careless I was, there weren’t many talented people who could occupy my back. When I looked back in surprise, Yuren was standing there with a mischievous smile.

“Hi, Ian!”

“Yuren!”

I kindly shook hands with Yuren. Looking at the swollen luggage bag, Yuren seemed to be heading somewhere.

A ceremonial question escaped my lips.

“Is this the way to the holy kingdom?”

“No, I have a special mission.”

Yuren then winked at me with one eye, then moved aside.

The woman who had been hidden behind Yuren’s body finally came into view.

Standing there was a beautiful girl with silver hair and light pink eyes, no wonder it was a work of art created by God.

was a saint

“Hmm, hmm… Is it a coincidence? Somehow, the next place of service was decided as the Percus Territory.”

“Is it the Percus Territory?”

I tilted my head at those words.

There was only one shabby temple in the Percus Territory. There was only one old priest who had to be called a priest.

It was the first time in his life to hear that a volunteer corps dispatched from the holy kingdom had come to Percus territory.

But, of course, a saintess with the highest rank among them came to the Percus territory.

Something was strange, but the saintess made desperate excuses as soon as she met my questionable gaze.

“Is it really just a coincidence? It’s never sloppy or anything… Gee, for real!”

It was difficult to understand why he brought out the word “sloppy”.

However, it was clear that if the saintess joined them, it would be of great help to the military. I was delighted and held the saintess’s hand.

“Then thank you, saintess.”

“… … Hmm, hmm. Yes. Ooh, it’s a coincidence, but please take good care of me for a while.”

At the same time, the saintess and Yuren exchanged glances.

At first glance, I saw a scene where the saintess clenched her fists and exclaimed joy, but I decided not to pay attention to that fact.

It was because there were more people going to Percus territory than expected.

That’s because four more people joined than planned.

The owners of the Percus Territory were the Percus family.

Of course, the Percus family also had the duty to treat the distinguished guests who came as guests. The more guests there were, the more problems we had to deal with.

Already, her head ached as to how to treat guests like the saintess, Elsie-senpai, and Seria.

However, it turned out to be a good thing.

Right now, an unidentified evil plan was in progress in the Percus Territory. The more colleagues there were, the better.

Of course, this was just my opinion.

Celine, who confirmed the faces of the people I had brought, immediately let out a scream.

“… … What is this!!!”

It was Celine who dreamed of a trip with only the three of them. The number of people suddenly increased drastically, so it was not strange even if they got angry.

So I had no choice but to put on a shy smile.

The preparations are now complete.

All that was left was the road to my dear hometown.

To the Percus Territory, where my sister is waiting.
