Chapter 37 (Return)
After we come out from the sacred ruin, we head toward the sacred ruin assembly hall.
"Well then, I will change my clothes."
"Sure..."
Kyurie-san then pointed to the pillar at the entrance hall with her finger.
"I will be waiting there... you can take your time."
"Yes, thank you very much"
Then I walk toward the counter.
I received my uniform from the person in charge, and then I go to the locker room and change my clothes.
"Oh, it's you... How is it today harvest(profit) ?"
"Hmm let see... if you ask me if I got some, then yes I do."
"Oh is that so, then that's good... well, from now on do your best."
"Thank you..."
After having such exchange with the person at the counter, then I go toward the meeting place.
Since it seems like the equipment that being used by Kyurie-san is her own, and she wore her academy uniform, she doesn't seem like to have any business at the assembly hall.
By the way, even if one have their own equipment, they still have to take care of the procedure at the assembly hall.
Some students find it troublesome to do the procedures, however, many students seems kept their equipment and tools here.
I see Kyurie-san standing leaning on the hall pillar looking down on the floor while folding her arms.
".................."
In the case of Kyurie-san, with such standing posture is, how should I say it, she looks good.
From the fact that the students inside the hall sight directed toward her, even if she's just standing, people will still be fascinated.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"Nn..."
Kyurie-san separates her body from the pillar.
"Well then, shall we go ?"
"Yes."
The two of us moving toward the outside.
The students who gather in the open space had decreased considerably.
Even though I said that, compared to the time when I first come here, the people that still remain are still quite a lot.
possibly, the people who had gone inside the sacred ruin also increased.
Just a while ago, I saw the time inside the assembly hall, the time right now is past 08.00 at night.
....................................
Because I feel tired from going inside the sacred ruin for the first time, I want to return back and take some rest just like this, however...
I glance toward Kyurie-san.
Since this is such rare occasion, I want to go somewhere where we can settle down and have a nice chat.
of course, it depends on her agreement.
When I thought of such thing,
"You, after you arrived at your dormitory, get some rest."
*pachi*, while she removes her bracelet, Kyurie-san said so.
"By the looks of it, you look very tired."
"... I knew it, I guess it's better for me to go back and rest immediately huh ?"
"After this, do you have something to do ?"
"Well, I want to ask about Kyurie-san if you're free after this or not, since I still want to have a little chat, is what I thought, butー"
*Haa* Kyurie-san sighs.
"Something like that, you can do it tomorrow. you will wreck your body if you don't rest your body when you have to."
"... Indeed, alright then, I understand, I will take a rest immediately when I get back."
"Please do."
Then we both start walking side by side.
We both walks on the stone pavement which being lighted by the light of the crystal light standing at regular intervals.
Without any students passing us, the area surrounded in quietness.
The sounds of leafs rub each other.
And the sounds of insect from somewhere...
"By the way, I have one question."
Kyurie-san start conversation.
"Yes ?"
"Don't tell me you... don't have any money to buy preserved food ?"
I looked down and shrug my shoulders.
"I'm ashamed..."
"... as expected huh ?
Kyurie-san breath out while looking amazed.
Somehow, I feel like becomes a burden for her, I feel a little bit guilty.
"I had a hunch before when I see your equipment at the sacred ruin, and when inside the assembly hall but... I see..."
When she said such thing, in that timing, my stomach rumbling.
"................."
Is it because of she talk about preserved food ?
My stomach becomes noisy.
Noー Actually compared to the time when I felt hungry inside the sacred ruin, right now the feeling is considerably decreased.
Then Kyurie-san stopped walking.
And then she took out two dried meat wrapped in paper from her pouch.
"Here..."
Then she gives it to me.
"Eh ? hmm... this is ?"
"Eat it..."
"Is that okay ?"
"Fuu... eating it here or eating it after you get back to your dormitory, do however you like."
Kyurie-san then took a watch out of her pocket.
"Also at this time, you should still be able to get food at the dormitory cafeteria... wait, you, the boys dormitory is in the opposite direction you know ? this direction is directed toward the girls dormitory."
"Aah..."
I see...
Kyurie-san think that I' lived at the boys dormitory huh ?
... come to think of it, they said there's no room at the boys dormitory, isn't it ?
.......................
Well, that aside.
I should tell her about it.
"The truth isー"
Because there is some problem from the academy side, I have to live at the deserted(?) house near the girls dormitory... thus without telling lies I told Kyurie-san while obscure some part moderately.
The truth is I want to tell her about it just as is, however, since I didn't ask the Headmistress as to how far can I tell another people about myself thus I have to keep some part vaguely.
I wonder how will she respond ?... thinking like that, I looked at Kyurie-san anxiously, then she,
"Well, you're a forbidden spell user, after all, the academy side must be having some kind of plan... and also, since its close to the girls dormitory, it will be quite convenient since if there's something happen, I can come rushing."
That is what she said with an earnest expression.
Unexpectedlyー
Her serious expression that being illuminated by the crystal lamp is making me feeling startled.
"................"
I know it, Kyurie-san is really beautiful.
It's as if a perfect beautiful sculpture has come to life...
While Cecil-san has a transient beauty, is Kyurie-san the cool beauty type with her strength and gallantness ?
... well, by the end of it, that was just my personal impression, though.
While I' still being fascinated by her, Kyurie-san shows a puzzled expression ?
"... What ?"
"Ah, no... I-It's nothing..."
I feel surprised when she asked that, which make my face turn hot.
"? you're such a strange one..."
I try to arrange my breath next to Kyurie-san who wondered.
And then we continue walking toward the girls dormitory.
Along the way, I talk with Kyurie-san,
"T-The stars are beautiful isn't it ?"
"Is that so ? there are not much of them appeared you know ?"
"................."
"How about you eat the dried meat instead ? You're hungry aren't you ?"
"W-Well then, Itadakimasu..."
"No, Wait, this dried meat, it tastes really delicious isn't it ?!"
"Fuun, I don't think it was such delicious thing though... did you really that hungry ?"
"Haha, they said being hungry is the best spice isn't it ?"
"Here, a water bottle... drink the water from it"
"Eh ?"
"I'll give it to you as well..."
"Is that really okay ? or rather, this is, Kyurie-sanー"
"Don't worry... I'd never used it, I will buy a new one tomorrow."
"..................."
"What ?"
"... no, emm, I can really have it ?"
"Yes..."
"T-Thank you very much."
"... when the goblin attacked you, I'm sorry that I didn't come and help immediately."
"Eh ? no, Kyruie-san doesn't have to apologize for something like that !"
TLN: oh this is the first time that we have a chapter where the conversation were much longer than the monologue isn't it ?
TLR(Rant) : Ah boy, I need to recover my mental fatigue from attending 3 wedding ceremony, where I got barraged by "you're next, when is your turn, etc"... ugh.
To the point that I thought, when one of them died, I will say to the rest "you're next". fuuh...
But I think I will refrain, since I do believe in karma.
