Love Letter From The Future

570 – 7. Jealousy is my strength (70)

“I want to save it.”

“Look at that.”

Letting out a sound of ridicule or sigh, the High Witch put her pipe into her mouth.

“If you can.”

Yes, I think so.

As I was about to spit out these answers, I felt a force tugging at my collar. Elsie-senpai was standing there with a blank face.

The girl lifted her tiptoe and whispered in my ear.

“…… It’s pointless, so don’t do it.”

“Yes? Why?”

“Because it’s impossible, bastard.”

Elsie-senpai dismissed my reasonable doubt so easily.

Even so, when I made a face that I did not understand, the girl had to let out a long sigh through her small lips.

“That, Celine and Seria? I’ll try to save your juniors or something as much as possible. But I can’t live up to the vampire’s family.”

It was a question and answer that we had shared before.

Surely Elsie-senpai said the same thing back then. There is no way to bring back those who have become members of the vampire’s family.

I wanted to ask why.

Didn’t you say that you researched a way to treat those who became the vampire’s family in the past? It was only after hearing the story that at least made sense, that I felt like I would have something to excuse myself.

But maybe it’s because we talked about it for too long?

“Ian!”

I heard an urgent cry from far away. The eyes of the audience naturally focused on the source.

At first glance, he looked like an ordinary student. He was wearing an academy uniform and seemed to be in his early 20s.

But I knew.

That male student was actually a member of the Imperial Intelligence Agency’s academy branch, and he had known each other at a newspaper company before. The fact that he was running towards me was enough to instill a sense of foreboding in me.

Unless the incident broke out, there was no way the intelligence service would find me.

I wasn’t the only one who had this premonition. Even senior Elsie, who stood next to me right away, was narrowing her eyebrows.

And the anxiety soon became a reality.

“Huh, a vampire… Unidentified women are rampaging inside the academy! Most of them are evacuating inside the building, but some faculties are still evacuating…….”

I wanted to swear right away, but since it was in front of an adult, I decided to do my best to hold it in.

Actually, I didn’t even have to put up with it.

Because there was one more person who could represent my feelings.

“It sucks, it sucks… f*cked, really.”

It was rude enough to speak frankly, but the Archwitch did not dare to criticize senior Elsie. The situation was too urgent for that.

The first to respond was the princess, who had little experience in combat.

“Uh, uh, what should I do?! Aren’t you supposed to go back right now? The core of the barrier can be found later…….”

“…… Calm down.”

It is up to you to take care of the youngest.

In terms of age, I was the second person on the floor, and also the person who had the deepest interaction with the princess.

With this judgment, I began to tease and appease the princess.

“There must be a reason why the vampires acted first. In particular, the fact that the members of the family stepped forward may have the purpose of dividing our forces. Or I want to delay the time to search for the core of the barrier as much as possible.”

“It is as you say.”

It was the Archwitch who received the explanation that continued so calmly.

The Archwitch, who has lived for hundreds of years, did not show any agitation, befitting the eldest.

“Inside the academy, professors are attached for escort. Don’t you think we’re only moving by ourselves? Also, the current students will have their own skills, so there is no need to worry too much.”

I wonder if the archwitch and I persuaded each other?

The princess, who was about to run away at any moment, finally calmed down. Her girl nodded her head with her eyes filled with boundless trust. As she looked at me admiringly.

“That’s right! Ian is truly amazing. You don’t lose your composure even in the midst of this…….”

That’s because I’ve been through so many unexpected situations.

‘Surprise’ or ‘raid’ were also words I heard a lot. Come to think of it, wasn’t there an attack by the Dark Church on the day she saved the princess?

Around the time when I was immersed in memories like this.

“I, I… ….”

Imperial intelligence agents carefully awakened my mind from reminiscence.

It seemed that there was still more to say. Judging from the fact that he was breaking out in a cold sweat, it seemed that he was under a lot of pressure.

I am so scared.

It was right after that that the intelligence agent closed his eyes tightly.

“That, among the undergraduates who couldn’t evacuate… The news that there is a Faculty of Alchemy…….”

And silence.

I chose to stand still and keep my mouth shut. Thoughts ran through my brain like an electric current, but there was only one thought that finally turned into words.

“…… Emma!”

As soon as I hit the ground, my body shot like the wind, and I felt a bewildered stare behind my back.

Still, it didn’t matter.

My head was filled with a girl who was often badly treated.

I didn’t know why, but I had an ominous feeling.

That’s quite a bit.

**

The physical abilities of high experts are beyond imagination.

This was also the case with leg strength. Not long after hitting the ground, I finally found the person I was looking for.

Red-brown hair, clear green eyes, and a pure white lab coat unique to the Department of Alchemy that handles reagents.

It was ‘Emma’.

She was just in the middle of moving her luggage, grunting. Even after evacuating, she might not stop researching, so the full bag looked quite heavy.

As soon as I saw her Emma, I screamed at her.

“Emma!”

“…… Huh?”

The eyes of the woman who was tugging at the bundle turned to me. Then, in an instant, his face brightened.

It was a bright smile.

The academy was haunted by the vampire’s curse, but Emma’s nature was so good that even the effects of her curse were barely felt. That’s probably the reason why you can have such a clean smile.

Emma, fortunately, looked unscathed.

“Ian! What happened? You said you had something important today… Ah, did you happen to leave something behind? Do you need the medicine you took yesterday?”

“Emma, so… therefore… ….”

Cleaning my heavy breathing, I slowly approached Emma.

Only then could I be sure that Emma was safe. There were no signs of abnormality anywhere on Emma’s body.

It’s not too late.

I thought so, put her hand on Emma’s shoulder and said.

“Listen, Emma. I’ll take you to the shelter, so don’t come out for a while. And stick close to the professors.”

“Huh? However, there are still some baggage left…….”

“Because that’s fine no matter what.”

At my firm tone, Emma hesitated and averted her gaze. Her slightly reddened cheeks made it difficult to gauge the distance between her and me.

I wanted to have a conversation in a warmer atmosphere.

But now was not the time to create a sweet and sour atmosphere.

As if Emma couldn’t let go of her lingering feelings, she raised a timid objection.

“Bur, I dried the mushrooms…… “

“Come on.”

Of course, it was a vain resistance.

Emma hesitantly threw the rope attached to her bundle. And she said nothing, until she closed her eyes tightly with her arms outstretched.

“Come on! I’m ready!”

I wonder if she thought that I would hug her and carry her away.

At first, she tried to carry it on her back, but now that it had happened, she decided that it might be quicker to carry it on her back.

Just like that, the moment I took a step.

Pak.

My vision instantly turned bloody. The illusion that the world has stopped like this.

I blankly put my hand to my eye. Bloodstains remained on my hand, which had slipped through my skin.

From noble mtl dot com

“…… What?”

In a daze, silently.

I heard a sound of sigh or exclamation, and my gaze slowly turned to the front. There stood a woman, her eyes wide open, looking down at her body in disbelief.

No, my stomach to be exact.

Blood was oozing out of the cracks. It’s still bloody, but soon the organs will pour out.

Emma forced the corners of her trembling lips to dry up. Like she wants to tell me it’s okay.

“Why, why? Ian, now something… ….”

That’s it.

As if she couldn’t stand it any longer, the woman’s eyes rolled over and her posture tilted forward. With a thumping sound, warm red liquid spread around the woman’s body.

I also want to stand idly by for a few seconds.

From far away, I could feel the presence of lightly moving steps.

“For now, one person.”

My pupil blankly followed the epicenter. The view opened to the spot where Emma fell, and there were shadows like the setting sun.

The appearance is different.

We had only two things in common.

Grey hair, blue eyes.

Among them, a woman with a fancy outfit said to me with an alluring smile.

“Oh, are you ‘Ian’? It hasn’t been long since I became a high expert…….”

Whooping, sneer that pierces your ears.

“Is this a little revenge? One of our sisters died at your hands, so we don’t owe each other anymore?”

It’s a matter of course.

That was the last thing I heard sanely.
