Love Letter From The Future

1. The First Letter (74)

“That, stop… It’s my fault.”

Thinking about the humiliation, Delphine-senpai muttered that. It must have taken a lot of courage for her.

Even so, I was not satisfied, and I was still slightly frowning. Delphine-senpai, who read my appearance, became even more impatient.

“Oh, I made a mistake today. And, what happens after that will be left unresolved… … .”

It was a voice full of deep humiliation. She bit her lip hard. If I left it as it was, it seemed like blood would leak out. At the end of the blurry words, even a light drop of water was spilling out.

Her body trembled as she pondered the shame. The current situation seemed more painful than the fear of death.

It was the fall of a proud noblewoman.

As I watched the bleak scene, a long sigh escaped from my mouth.

“… … okay. Fortunately, the.”

Delphine had no answer. Only her trembling shoulders revealed the lioness’ wounded heart.

Begging for your life is a very painful thing. For some, pride is more important than life.

So, I declared in a voice mixed with a sigh.

“Then let’s finish quickly. The last thing is for Seria.”

At my words, Delphine’s eyes widened. Her eyes turned to me again.

There, my shadow, still holding the hatchet high, was reflected.

My head was pounding. My whole body hurts. Magical power ran rampant, and blood vessels called blood vessels were in an overloaded state.

I just wanted to rest. I gave strength to the arm holding the ax with such a single thought.

His arm muscles twitch, and he strikes down the hatchet.

The blade of the ax cut a beam of light. That destination was Delphine-senpai, and there was only one.

Delphine instinctively clutched her head and howled.

“Now, wait. Yes, I apologized… stop that! Heehee profit?!”

That time when Delphine-senpai gave out a cute scream that didn’t suit her.

“… … Senior Ian.”

The words that he spat out made the ax blade stop once again.

My eyes turned to the source of the voice. A beautiful girl with gray hair was looking at me with sad eyes.

“Please stop.”

“Seria… … .”

But I couldn’t get the strength out of my arm at all. It was an unknown obsession. A certain obsession had dug into my cerebrum like a finger.

Of course, I had no intention of killing myself. Still, at least I was thinking of putting out more smashes than now.

So that I can never bare my teeth to my precious people again.

I felt sorry for Seria who couldn’t understand this, so I blurted out the end of my words. Seria just shook her head at me without saying a word.

Hesitation began to appear in my eyes, but a shout broke out out of nowhere.

“Lee, Lee, brother Ian. it’s crazy?!”

She wrapped her arms around the bloody shoulders and jumped with quick steps.

It must have been painful, but there was no sign of it in her tawny eyes. It must be difficult to move, but she was desperately running towards me while staggering.

My gaze turned to the dark-haired girl with a puzzled look.

But she didn’t even care about the look in my eyes. As soon as he hurriedly approached me, he only hit me hard on the back.

“Ouch?! Hey Celine! I’ve been saying that hurts for a long time… … .”

I reacted instinctively with irritation, but Celine immediately grabbed me by the collar.

There was light dew in her tawny eyes. I mean, I was so surprised. A cry was mixed in her voice.

“Is it really crazy to kill ears, ears, and nobles?! Stop it now, I apologize! It’s going to be a big deal!”

And the moment I saw Celine’s crying eyes.

Suddenly, my mind returned.

It was a strange sensation. The sensation of returning to reality after a dream, the hazy and blurry world suddenly became clear and threw me out.

As if a clogged blood vessel was opened, cooling water circulated around the heated head. The obsessions that had dominated me until now were swept away one by one by the torrent.

The moment I blankly looked down at Delphine sunbaenim.

Delphine-senpai was looking up at me with eyes full of fear. A trembling arm wrapped around his head, and lightly watery eyes.

The new sun of the arrogant and maddened Yurdina family is nowhere to be seen. Before death, she was just a girl.

As soon as I realized that fact, all the hostility that remained in my veins disappeared as if it had been washed away. My whole body was full of strength.

Read at readwn

Just, I gritted my teeth. Squeezing the last of his strength, he threw the hatchet.

“Kyaah!”

The sound of the ax blade getting stuck.

It was right next to Delphine-senpai.

Delphine, who was screaming, looked at the hatchet dug into the ground with bewildered eyes. And those bloody eyes that turned to me.

“Senior Delphine, they said that the winner gets everything.”

Whoops, whoops. There was no answer from Delphine, who was breathing heavily. So I bent over my upper body and whispered in her ear.

“Your life is mine from now on. So be careful in the future… Anytime, if something goes wrong, he might come to pick it up.”

There was no answer from Delphine-senpai. Only the trembling eyes and breath were telling me one thing.

At least my words must have been embedded in her brain. All that was left was to hope that she would protect the noble’s honor.

I sighed and turned around. I had to pick up the knife, and I had to retrieve the hand ax stuck in the neck of the beast. There were frequent spilling of weapons these days.

However, what awaited me, exhausted, were Celine’s eyes with tears welling up in them.

“Oh, you were worried! This, Ian’s older brother… Ugh, I know it’s getting weird… … .”

Did it look that different? I thought about it for a moment, but now, no matter how much I ruminate, I can’t figure out what’s wrong.

Maybe it was because I wasn’t sober yet. So I said while patting Celine’s hair.

“What am I doing wrong? Just a little bit excited.”

Even so, Celine only shed tears.

Seria seemed to be anxious inside as well. She then let out a sigh of relief. And I looked at my half-sister with pitiful eyes.

Still, it seemed a bit pitiful that it was a family. Even until I raised the hatchet, I wondered what it would be like if Seria landed the final blow for me and gave me the victory.

Now that I think about it, it was a very cruel thought. Why did I come up with that idea?

It was unknown. I tilted my head and slowly tried to retrieve the armed forces, but I heard someone’s voice from far away.

“Kyahaha! Good job, good job!”

A small body jumping up and down approaching, I immediately guessed its true identity.

It was Elsie senior. As if she could finally use magic, she looked down at Delphine senior with a cheerful smile.

“Why don’t you do a little more! We have to smash it to the point where we won’t be able to raise our heads again! uhm, what should i do? I’m worried… Shall we pass an electric current through the nerves and make them tremble like fish hit by a knife?”

Contrary to her angelic appearance, the words that came out of Elsie’s mouth were brutal. As the words continued, apart from Delphine-senpai, who was trembling as if she had lost her head while holding her head, Seria’s expression was getting worse and worse.

I felt the need to take drastic measures.

“Or wouldn’t it be bad to imprint electrical signals in the brain and make them pee whenever they see us? Hehehe, look forward to it… Hey profit?! Now, I was wrong!”

When I showed her the hand ax she had just picked up, Elsie immediately shut her mouth and put on her conical hat. Her curled body trembled.

I let out a deep sigh. Anyway, senior Elsie had a problem with that cruel disposition.

After shaking my head for a while, I put my hand on senior Elsie’s head.

It was to calm her down. My hand gently stroked Elsie’s hair.

“Peeing is the personality of Elsie-senpai. Don’t give up so easily.”

“… … Oh no!! that, whatever. Continue stroking your hair.”

Elsie, who had been rebelling, soon showed a happy smile with a hazy expression as if she was okay. Every time I stroked my hair, I was getting more and more responsive.

If she had a tail, it seemed to be wagging. Of course, considering her pride, she did not dare to translate her feelings into words.

A few things happened like that. But in the end, everything worked out, I thought.

All that was left was to transport the game.

**

An old wizard with a pure white beard reaching down to his waist, President Delemore put on his monocle.

A large number of people gathered in front of the forest located south of the academy.

It was because it was the stage of the hunting festival. The performance planned by the student council was almost over.

He was feeding the sky. Soon the sun will set and darkness will come. Then, this year’s hunting festival finally comes to an end.

It was after most of the groups who had already gone hunting had returned. Among them was Joe, who had brought some surprising prey. There are a couple of high-ranking witches, and if nothing happens, one of them will win.

If it had been last year, by this time President Delemore would have been having a friendly conversation with key figures from around the world. In the VIP seat where he was now seated, there were celebrities from the continent whose names alone were prominent.

No matter how wide the forest was, game was limited. There was no guarantee that they would be able to hunt stronger prey as time passed.

In other words, it meant that most of the prize winners had to be decided already in the evening, close to the end of the hunting festival.

And when the outcome is decided, it is usual to share praise like an empty can and ridicule using complicated political rhetoric.

Even so, an unnatural silence hung over the VIP table. There was only one reason.

It was because this year’s leading candidate for the championship had not yet returned.

Delphine Yurdina, heir to the Yurdina family, the leader of the northern part of the Empire.

Until now, there has never been a case where the heir of the Yurdina family entered the academy and failed to win the hunting festival. When Yurdina’s successor entered the 4th year, as usual, the championship of the year’s hunting festival would belong to the Yurdina family.

History always repeats itself. Therefore, the prospect that the championship of this year’s hunting festival would also belong to Delphine Yurdina was dominant, and high-ranking officials in each country had high expectations.

How wonderful will you prepare for hunting?

If not, he might see the failure of the Yurdina family for the first time. Either way, it couldn’t have been a spectacle to look forward to.

The time to announce the closing was approaching. Delemore looked at the entrance to the forest nervously.

haven’t you come yet

If so, there was nothing I could do. The rules had to be fair, and the academy, which was pretending to be equal on the outside, couldn’t give special treatment to the influential families of the empire.

It was the time when the old wizard was staring at the clock’s second hand.

At the entrance of the forest, a commotion broke out.

Another group is back. And when Joe returned from hunting, there was usually a commotion with acquaintances who welcomed them, but the current disturbance was of a different scale.

A buzz quickly spread through the crowd. Even the heat of the performance prepared by the student council subsided at once. Hundreds of pairs of eyes blankly turned towards the entrance of the forest.

You have arrived, delight flashed in Delemore’s eyes.

This was also the reaction of all those seated in the VIP seats. Some even jumped up from their seats because they couldn’t overcome the anticipation.

With this amount of fuss and hum, it was clear that a strong contender had returned.

However, their eyes, which at first sparkled with anticipation, soon faded into stupidity.

The sound of scratching the ground.

It was the sound made when an object of enormous weight was forcibly dragged across the ground. Along with that, trees swayed, and some small trees were bent over and fell. Hearing just that, he was a giant.

Cutting through the trees like a bush, the shape of the prey that appeared forced silence on everyone.

It was a huge wolf.

No one had ever seen a wolf of such terrifying size in their lifetime. First of all, you are overwhelmed by its size, and your attention is drawn to the horns on its forehead.

The crackling horns leaking mana testified that this wolf was not an easy opponent. It is a monster that freely manipulates mana. high-ranking witch? No, it was more than that.

It is a level of magic that deserves its name.

Delemore’s hair stood on end as he was convinced of that fact before anyone else thanks to his rich life experience. How on earth was he able to hunt?

First of all, it was the first time that there was a named-level monster in the southern forest. If it was that kind of monster, it was clear that there would be casualties other than professors. However, it was surprising that a group of four who were still attending the academy hunted it.

Indeed, he is the heir to the Yurdina family.

President Delemore admired it inwardly. No matter how much I thought about it, I could only come up with that much person to deal with the Witchbeast with a name.

Goosebumps at the thought of so many casualties at such an important festival, but on the other hand, I couldn’t help but exclaim at the skill.

He was favored by the Yurdina family. It was at that time that President Delemore let out a sigh of relief.

“… … Ian Percus.”

The name he had never heard of, stuck in his ears.

Delemore’s eyes instinctively followed the source of the voice. There, I could see the shadow of a man who had gritted his teeth and dragged the corpse of the Witchbeast.

‘Ian Percus’, did Delphine Yurdina’s group have such a name?

President Delemore tilted his head. It seems that the high-ranking officials in the VIP seats were no different, and they began to talk in whispers.

Away from the entrance of the forest, they didn’t know yet.

Why did all the onlookers fall into the cold silence?

“This is the manager. I will report you back.”

As if cold water had been poured on it, there was silence even in the VIP seats.

Those bulging eyes were telling me of astonishment.

Hunting a monster with a name was something that even those from the academy had to risk their lives. It was an unbelievable achievement that a current student, not even a graduate, did this.

It was the same when considering the value of the name ‘Delphin Yurdina’. But ‘Ian Percus’ is a name I’ve never heard before.

The mana that had flowed gently in the VIP seat began to oscillate. It meant that everyone was urgently raising their eyesight with magical powers.

From far away, it was seen. Golden eyes in black hair.

His appearance was as beautiful as that of a nobleman, but his clothes were covered in blood that did not match his appearance. The state of the body as if it would collapse at any moment.

Even so, he said with a faint smile as if he was about to throw a joke.

“Has there ever been a group that hunted a better game than us?”

It was the moment when the winner of the hunting festival was decided.
