Love Letter From The Future

5. Bread and Dagger (5)

So I quietly listened to Seria’s story.

I could guess why Seria had been reluctant to make a statement.

‘It’s just a burden because my skills aren’t enough.’

Seria was notified of this by ‘I’ from the future, and tried her best to overturn that evaluation, but failed.

It was a story I had no choice but to tell.

It would only be like acknowledging that evaluation yourself.

That would have been painful and difficult for me. I deeply sympathized with Seria’s heart.

At one time, I was just a student in the lower middle class.

Self-help and self-torture were bound to be familiar tasks to me as well.

That’s why I didn’t offer words of comfort to Seria.

It was the point at which a single word could leave a deep scar on Seria’s heart.

I had to choose my words as carefully as possible.

However, there was one question that suddenly came to my mind, so I asked him about it.

“… … Then what about Celine?”

“Ah, Miss Hastur.”

Then Seria put on a wry smile as if she was embarrassed.

Her head snapped once again.

“I suffered a lot because of me. Because I was so stubborn, even Miss Hastur was taken by that human… I wasn’t beaten like I was, but they held me all day and trained me.”

“training?”

“They made me hold a strange weapon, not a sword. what was it… Battle X?”

Battle X.

It was not a preferred weapon for a delicate woman’s armament. It was a piece of equipment that a muscular giant could barely handle by holding it with both hands.

Because of the difference in physical condition, of course it was more difficult for women to handle. At least I had to reach a level where I could write an aura.

The problem arises at this point.

Being able to use an aura meant that there was an armament that was proficient above a certain level.

Even based on the academy standards, it was a weapon that he had been dealing with for more than 10 years.

There was no reason to throw away the old bottle. Moreover, Battle X was more difficult to train because of its weight.

So, there are only a few women who handle Battle X.

As far as I know, there is not a single one in the academy.

Perhaps because of that, Seria clearly felt sorry for Celine.

The word is ‘training’, but in reality it would be close to ‘torture’. No matter how much magical power you have, switching to a two-handed weapon was a very painful process.

From basic muscle strength to how to hold and wield a weapon.

Battle Ax had too many differences from a sword.

As much as you have to start from a blank slate, you must have felt the burden of your heart.

It was only then that I realized why Celine had stiffened her body when she saw me.

It wasn’t as good as Seria’s, but it seemed that she was undergoing rigorous training as well.

In the end, I was locked in my thoughts with my arms crossed.

The ‘I’ from the future never moves for no reason.

If he assaulted Seria and trained Celine, there must have been a good reason for that.

As of now, the most promising possibility was one.

That the enemy you are facing right away is just as dangerous and strong.

Not to mention Celine, to the point where even Seria, who has reached an expert level, doesn’t help.

So I had no choice but to go through an inner conflict.

I wanted to cheer Seria up and tell her that it was okay to follow her.

A sense of shame burrows into the brain like a worm that eats fruit.

I was willing to take Seria with me as much as I could if it helped me to shake off that painful feeling.

But when it comes to life and death, the story is different.

No matter how hard it was mentally, it was better than losing my life.

It was a judgment made by a cold-blooded person who didn’t think a single drop of blood would come out even if stabbed. He must have been more accurate than me, who is always captivated by sentiment.

I, who was groaning and struggling, opened my mouth cautiously.

“… … Seria, do I really have to follow you?”

At my words, Seria immediately became sullen.

My heart to watch it also became painful.

Still, I couldn’t help it.

If Seria lost her life, there was no greater disaster than that. Maybe I won’t be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life.

That was a specification.

Seria was a precious junior to me.

I didn’t want to lose it in vain.

I continued persuasion as if to appease her.

“As you know, risking your life is no joke… Opportunity will be next time. Actually, I don’t even know where to go yet, but in the meantime, I can train… … .”

“… … Why can’t I be the only one?”

I had to shut my mouth for a moment at Seria’s question.

It was because I couldn’t guess the intention of the question.

My pupils questioned and turned to Seria.

Of course, it wasn’t just Seria not taking him.

Celine was about to be excluded from the list right away, and other people who lacked skills could not be allowed to accompany them. Since he had to deal with a dangerous enemy, it was the right thing to do.

There was no way Seria would not know this.

Nonetheless, she kept complaining.

It meant that there were still things I didn’t know.

And what Seria said after that proved my guess without fail.

“Her Highness, the princess, went to visit separately and requested to accompany… … .”

‘Her Highness the Princess’.

Hearing that name, I felt my thought circuits get tangled for a moment.

Could it be that the crybaby is talking about a kid who doesn’t notice?

No matter how senior in the Faculty of Magic, a freshman was a first-year student. Objectively, the princess’ skills were a little lacking compared to Seria’s.

So I had no choice but to laugh.

“Tell me the princess? Before I knew it, Her Highness Iris had even transferred schools… … .”

“That’s His Highness Xian.”

It was a sound that pierced my ears as I was shaking my head.

At that clear assertion, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.

A look of disbelief turned to Seria.

Then Seria emphasized to me again.

“I asked Her Highness Shien to accompany me, that person.”

I guess I should have listened to the details.

Even that day, the man had a very tired look in his eyes.

There was even a subtle anticipation in his gait. A sharp impression, as if it would be cut if approached closely.

No one dared to approach.

Even so, the man’s notoriety was unrivaled within the academy. Indeed, he was a person with a history of cutting down even the princess with a hatchet.

Rather, there were few people in the academy who did not pay attention to him.

Because it was best to avoid mad dogs.

Not to mention, no one wanted to touch him, who looked tired.

Only whispers and speculations about his destination can be heard.

Regardless, the man just moved on.

It was as if the gaze of the crowd did not matter.

His unstoppable pace stopped when he met a girl’s eyes.

A pure white cloak revealed the girl’s grade.

It meant a freshman who had just entered the academy.

She was an impressive beauty with dark blue hair resembling the night sky. She has just become an adult and has yet to shed her youthful tact, but as time goes by, her beauty will be revealed.

At least the man already knew that future.

The girl’s true identity was the 5th princess of the imperial family, a woman he had once served as his direct superior.

Of course, this was a future that hadn’t come yet.

And it was also something that shouldn’t have happened.

While the man was cleaning up the remnants of his emotions, the princess, feeling his presence, jumped up and expressed her joy.

“… … Ah, ah! Sir Ian!”

The name was the same then and now.

Even if the past changes, it seems that there is at least one thing that does not change, the man smiled bitterly inwardly.

After all, this wasn’t his world.

The princess took quick steps and approached the man.

“It just went well! I was practicing!”

To be honest, the man wasn’t particularly interested in what the princess was practicing.

After all, those he loved were already gone.

Those who remained here were separate individuals. At least the man had such a strong belief.

So he thought of just telling the main story and leaving.

If it hadn’t been for the actions of the princess next.

“… … Crow, roll, roll!”

These were the words he shouted while imitating claws with his two dainty hands.

No, should I say it?

It was a voice close to that of an animal.

The man was silent for a moment, unable to understand his intention.

When his sunken golden eyes turned to the girl, the princess scratched her cheeks and blushed.

“Ehehehe… Because Obama said that dragons don’t cry ‘aaa!’! So, to become Sir Ian’s pet dragon, I’ve been practicing anew!”

After hearing that, the man was silent for a while.

I just sighed and thought to myself.
