Chapter 110 (2/2)
However, if I suddenly ask that kind of thing, she will surely get suspicious
“Yeah……well then, thank you for today”
“Yes, good night”
Then Chloe left my room
Chapter 110: Duel Trial (part four)
TL: clover
ED: eristol, xtostos
And so, the duel trial ended safely with my victory
I am not physically tired because it only took a few ht after the decision, Haearn was devastated and fainted
Under the direction of the prefect, students went down and carried Haearn up to thethem on the side as Haearn was carried out
It was Haearn’s childhood friend, Charlotte
When her eyes met mine, she turned aith a sorrowful expression
Since I’ve just overwheluess that’s reasonable, huh
“Good work”
Harold who caloves and wands that were scattered during the battle
“Thank youIt was all thanks to you, HaroldI’m always indebted to you”
“It’s fine, because it will increase the reputation of our wand store”
Harold s from me
Now that I’e
I received e and returned the runestone in exchange
I had prepared a change of clothes—a robe—in case of an eh not to receive any blow, so it ended up being just a needless anxiety
“Good workYou won, huh~”
When I was packingand was about to return to the dorm, I was called out to fro at ?”
“Aa, not only me, but many people from the South Dorm came to take a lookIt seems that it was quite popular”
I didn’t notice that at all
It seems that I was too nervous to pay any attention to the audience
“It is eot into a duel so quickly after ht that was very beautiful though”
“Speaking of which, because of the ice and crystal spells, it , huh”
“No, that’s not what I , I turned my eyes to the entrance
It was Klaus who had a mysterious expression on his face
Maybe he was a little bit worried about me
Klaus came in front of me and bowed deeply
“Klaus-sa that life”
What is he saying……does this person think of
“Urateful that you used an elaborate technique to seal his movement so that you wouldn’t kill him by chance”
“Klaus-sama, just what exactly do you take me for?”
“I was deeply impressed with the kindness and compassion you showed for your opponent even when he was striking back at you, but was that not it?”
This is badI was fundaht look like I was being y that only considered how to hit an effective blow
Of course just because I wasn’t being merciful, that doesn’t mean there wasn’t even a bit of coood experience for hirows froht”
When I was confused about how to solve the , the topic switched to the future prospects of Haearn
Speaking of which, Klaus was also hu couess he considers Haearn to be in the same situation as he was
“Oops, looks like there’s another visitor for EricaKlaus, we’ll get in the way if we stay here”
Auguste put his hand on Klaus’ shoulder and winked
He noticed the visitor before anyone else because of his telepathic ability, huh
As Klaus and Auguste left, two girls appeared in exchange
Beatrice and Chloe
Beatrice ran up to me with flushed cheeks
“Ah, um, how can I thank you, Ericsama……?”
“It’s fine, Glaw-san”
“Thank you soin me”
Beatrice bowed her head ti in her, I did a background check and stalked her
At any rate, it was good to be able to secure her innocence
When I raisedof which, this would bewith her
“Thank you, EricsanFor helping Beatrice……and also for that time”
Chloe, alked slowly, said with a soft smile
Huh, ‘that time’?
What does shecontact with Chloe as much as possible, so there shouldn’t be such a situation
“You’re the blue-hooded alche said that, Chloe tapped the sword she earing on her waist
It is rare as normally she doesn’t arm herself with a sword
No, waitI have seen this sword pattern design somewhere
Oh, don’t tell me!
“Are you the black-hooded swordsman from that time……?”
Chloe silently affirmed it
I was convinced that the swordsman was a boy
Chloe is also from Lucanrant, so it is safe to say that her swordsuaranteed
No way, I did not think that she was strong enough to destroy the gole of which
I wonder if she was able to recover her diary properly
That has been on my mind all the time
“I’ve submitted your lost items to the dorm head of the Central Dorm as a lost and found, but have you received it?”
“Ehh!? Is it perhaps the diary……?”
“T-that’s great, Chloe-chan! You’ve been looking for the diary since the entrance cereht!”
While Chloe had stiffened with a shocked expression after hearing my response, Beatrice inserted a follow-up that I couldn’t let pass unnoticed
I ondering why Chloe didn’t appear in Beatrice’s false charge eventI realized the reason now
(Because I picked up and delivered the diary, Chloe has been searching for it around the city all this time!?)
Because of that, she wasn’t able to attend the i really bad
When Chloe finally recovered fro attention to Beatrice
“Um, I want to talk with you alone later, is it okay?”
“You can’t talk here?”
“……yeah”
If it is a secret story, is it about the contents of that diary?
I wonder if she wrote soht, you can coestion
Chloe is just too ht be better to have a heart-to-heart talk with her at this opportunity
“Thank you very muchSomeday I will doseveral ti
Chloe only looked back once as she left and stared atwith emotions such as confusion and anxiety
After the two of the onstill here?
“Huh? Tir? You’re not going with Beatrice?”
『……when you have awith that Chloe, I will be there too』
“That’s fine, but why?”
『I feel uneasy for some reasonErica, be careful around that person』
After that, Tirnanog’s presence was gone
What did he e and returned to the dorht, free ti was heard in my room in the corner of the West Dorm
『It seems that woman has come』
“Yes, you should stay there like usual”
Tirnanog wore the star steel arirl, so I think it’s safe to invite her to uardian
“Welco me”
When the door was opened, Chloe in her unifor there
Chloe seems somewhat tense
“You have received your lost items properly, huh”
“Thank youI didn’t think that there was someone who picked it up and delivered it……”
Chloe bowed tothe red leather book in a precious way
It must be very important to her
“You’re welconia too?
“……yeah, I received it properly”
Chloe nodded sleepily
When I looked closely, the insignia was fixed on her chest
“Say, let’s not talking while standing, please have a seat on the couch”
When I said that, Chloe went to sit down on the couch
She looked around the room with a somewhat uncomfortable look
It seems that she feels kind of embarrassed to talk to me, so I’ll ask about it directly
“So, what do you want to talk about?”
“……did you read the contents of this book?”
Chloe asked that and stared fixedly at me
I was reflected in her icy blue eyes whose emotions were hard to read
Fro that appears to be docile
I heard a rattling noise froht to Tirnanog in a suspicious h you are still a freshole!”
But why did Tirnanog make a sudden noise like that?
I wonder what happened
Well, I will ask him about it later
“Back to the topic, I’ve seen the es and the inside cover of the book”
“Only those two?”
“Yes, the letters written on the ex libris and the table of contents written on the memoI haven’t read the text at all”
“That’s it, huhI see, that’s good……”
Hearing my answer, Chloe murmured in a tone of voice as if she was truly relieved from the bottom of her heart
The usual emotions finally appeared in her previously unreadable eyes
Is the content that sensitive?
“This is……the book that was left by my older brother”
“It seems like he loves mysterious stories”
Everyone from Chloe’s clan are supposed to have died in the o
If so, that diarythe case, no wonder she was frantically looking for that diary
“Yeah, s happened in the past, and I, I don’t re said that, Chloe had a vulnerable saue due to the aforementioned incident
The real Chloe also has aduring his ti so, Chloe brushed the cover of the book
“I should have followed after you at that ti immediately because there was trouble”
Chloe setically
Even now, I can’t see her as the swords and resolute way
“Well then, I’ll return nowThank you, Ericsan”
Chloe stood up while saying thank you
Suddenly, I remembered the hidden letters on that memo
Should I tell her?
There is a possibility that she already knows, but I would like to inform her if she doesn’t know about it
I’ht that I wouldn’t intervene
I thought that it would be a courtesy to the original heroine to protect ht so, ed when I saw her
If it’s about family rather than ro to help
“By the way, it looks like there’s hidden characters on that memo, do you already know about it, Chloe-san?”
Chloe, as about to leave, turned around
Her eyes widened and she looked surprised
It seems like she doesn’t know about it
“Hidden?”
“There’s a bit of a trick……do you want to confirht away?”
“Yes, I would like you to lend me the memo inside the book”
Chloe sat on the couch once again and pulled out the piece of paper from the book
I picked up a chunk of star crystal and a jar of star crystal powder that I had placed on the writing desk
“The light disappeared when this memo happened to touch the star crystal”
First of all, I showed the reaction of the ht disappeared froently
“Certainly, the star crystal should be glowing in response to the ht disappearssnowsilver ore or soht that maybe some letters were hidden”
I applied a puff to the star crystal powder and smeared them on the memo
Then I covered the lamp placed on the table top to make the letters visible
Chloe looked into the words 「Wait inside the ue of the……headless prince”
“It’s a very scary location name, huh”
Chloe didn’t answer
Because of the darkness, I can’t read what she is thinking from her expression
For a while, Chloe looked at the letters as if ti
This time I feel uneasy about her silence, so I opened my mouth
“If it bothers you, do you want ue of the headless prince?”
“Absolutely not”
It was an iht that I could help her with uess that was too excessive, huh
“Ah, I have nothing against Ericsan in particular……sorry about that”
“Y-yes”
“It’s not a very good place……no, I think it’s a very dangerous place, so you shouldn’t go thereEricsan is a good person and I don’t want you to die”
I have a bad feeling
The ue of the headless princePerhaps this is the keyword of the fourth scenario onward that I don’t know anything about
And, this is a serious matter related to human lives
If there is a possibility that phantoate about it secretly
“Then I’ll take care so as to not get involved with youBut if there is another opportunity, let’s talk, Chloe-san”
Chloe gave a relieved sigh as I backed down lightly
I quickly brushed away the star crystal powder and put it back in the small jar
“You should take this star crystal powderIf there is the sa it”
“Is that okay?”
“Yes, I’ to pry into your situation, but I want to help you even just a little bit”
Suddenly, I became concerned about Chloe’s older brother
The family of Chloe whose name was impossible to find ever since that incident
Who is the main character’s brother who left this diary?
Since I want to investigate, I will pursue this trace
“Ah, but I would like to ask you a little bitWhat is your brother’s name?”
“……Claude”
It is a deceased person with the saet
Chloe’s older brother
In other words, the son of the Lucanrant Ducal House
If Claude as the capture target points to Chloe’s older brother, it means that he is alive
No, that is not yet clear
It would be better not to say anything that would raise her hope, until I know about it clearly
I replied as curtly as possible so as not to express my excitement and confusion
“He had a Southern name, huhIt is the same as you”
“Yeah, because both my mother and my older brother’s mother have Southern blood”
Chloe who answered it s that they have different nitia’s blood
Is Claude an adopted son or is he an illegitimate son, and is he the son of a late wife or the second wife?
I also want to knohy their hair and eyes are of different colors, and about the eyepatch
However, if I suddenly ask that kind of thing, she will surely get suspicious
“Yeah……well then, thank you for today”
“Yes, good night”
Then Chloe left my room
