Vol 3 Chapter 2 (1/2)
Chapter 2: After a day of rest
A breeze blew in the ht before This strange feeling came about because of what had happened the day before yesterday Whatever had happened, the passing of a day had put that event in the past Time was merciless, but it treated everyone fairly No matter how astonished and shocked Leerin was, it wasn't possible to reverse the flow of time
As she neared the school, she heard other class each other She only joined them, as she walked on the path shaded by tree canopy that headed towards the school entrance
”Fu” She had been sighing continuously since , and she are of the reason behind it
”The muscles onintruded frorab hold of her breasts
”Ahahahahahaha!!”
A pair of hands was caressing her front Because it was so sudden, Leerin had dropped her schoolbag and stood spaced out for a little while
”Oh, Leerin's chest is the saood”
”Please stop voicing your lamentations so deeply”
A face leaped into Leerin's line of sight
”Ah~ If I don't do this, I can't feel the arrival of a new day”
”Please get rid of your habit”
Long black hair covered a large part of Leerin's vision The ”hehe” laughter ruined the elegant face that the black hair revealed
”But Lee-chan's breasts feel too good”
”That's not true”
Finally escaping the evil paled to the research laboratory that was located in the saazes on her side
A body thatparts and depressions of Synola's body were perfectly outlined Lab personnel had no uniform Synola's clothes seemed to emphasize her body build, so it couldn't be helped that she stood out in the crowd
”No, no It's a shaless to the owner of the body It's your body after all, but it isn't necessarily the best for anyone What'sof being just right, but with enough left over That's a soft feeling that no sweets canso really deep She started to shake her head like an old man
”You're the best”
”Please stop,” Leerin said
Synola really didn't look nor Besides, she was gesturing before Leerin's breast as she said that
”Well, did so happen to Leerin-chan?”
”Huh?”
Synola's hands returned to her pant pockets Her expression turned back to normal She was already beautiful, and that posewhile fidgeting This says that soht she had done enough to cover her worries, but it seemed she had failed
”Sorry”
”Hize to me?”
”Yeah”
”Never mind It's ok if you don't want to explain”
Sometimes Leerin wanted to pull in that distance, but their relationshi+p was far apart She was thankful for Synola's sensitivity, her ability to see through what should be and should not be touched, but she also felt her own inadequacy in this area
(Maybe I can try telling her?)
She looked at Synola Either way, as a beautiful woirls' breasts And for so in that 'hehe' way
(Um)
”Ah, cookies are nice, but it's not bad to try fruits so Lee-chan's breasts are very soft, and they're also bouncy This is great! To put it the other waythey feel like cookies”
”Thanks”
”So I say cookies are always the best, but I can better experience that feeling by not eating cookies all the tie taste sometime and try the hard nut”
Her handstheir botto of hardness I guess they don't lose their shape in sleepI can feel the like this”
”Just what are you saying?”
”Ah, it's not bad to touch Lee-chan's breasts like this so that !?” Leerin shouted angrily with her face all red Synola showed no intention of answering
”I was just talking toat Synola's breasts, Leerin burst out ”Isn't your ambition over there?”
(AhGrendan is so peaceful)
This was the Lance Shelled City, Grendan, a city that had hts with filth monsters than any other city in the world Every year there were five to six eency siren sounded, Grendan's residents would move towards the shelters as if they were out on a road trip They followed the procedures without pushi+ng and fighting for a place in the shelter
Yes, that wasn't necessary at all, because their Queen was leading them A Queen who also was a Heaven's Blade successor
Alsheyra Almonise
Grendan was probably the only city that had experienced this er, but Grendan's residents believed it was the safest city on earth Under the protection of the Queen and the Heaven's Blade successors, the threat of filth ainst filth monsters in their mature phases, and that wasn't recorded in Grendan's history books In the fifteen years of Leerin's life, Grendan had fought those hts the city encountered was unusual for a mobile city that aimed to evade as e number of filth e its path and avoid them Some people froone ht be true Her conviction received support when she read from Layfon's letters that Zuellni had not encountered any filthwhile Even so, there were also the Heaven's Blade successors in Grendan The people relied on their skills to protect the with Synola, Leerin headed for her classrooain fell into her own thoughts She was thinking of what had happened to her
”Sorry, please let me protect you for now,” Savaris said on the rooftop
”Uh”
”Your question is rejected,” Lintence said
”Sorry about this, but that's the way it is,” Savaris apologized
”But, Layfon” Leerin wanted to say lanced at Lintence
No one would disobey a Heaven's Blade successor in Grendan That wasn't a law, it was just ain this city
”I won't interfere with your daily lifeuntil so what concerns me is the time when you're alone If possible, I hope you can refuse even your friends' invitations Find soeted?”
”I said your question is rejectednever mind”
Savaris nodded with a sour seted I know you want to knohy, and what people have targeted you, but please don't ask”
”And this is related to Layfon?”
That hat Savaris said in the Resting Room
Lintence said any questions were rejected Any resident of Grendan would listen to hi bad would co to a Heaven's Blade successor
Leerin felt the same But if this had to do with Layfon And that was the only thing she couldn't keep silent about
Lintence's gaze turned intense Leerin failed to move under that pressure
”AhI told her that,” Savaris sighed
In that split second, Leerin was released Her body tres had lost their strength, and she sat down on the rooftop Savaris, who received Lintence's gaze in her place, didn't look pressured at all He shook his head
”Then I'll just tell you this This is related to Layfon You're involved in so to do with you That's all I can say”
(Meaning, this is Layfon's world)
Meaning
This was the other world of Grendan
◇
Within the cheering in the shop, a waitress placed a bowl in front of Layfon
”Please enjoy,” she s a platoon match in the war field
”Is this ok?”
”Huh?” Layfon looked back at Meishen, as peeking at him
A bowl of noodles also sat in front of her The smell of food tickled her nose
”Is it ok not to watch the platoonit”
Nina had gone to thea serious expression They would probably watch this video when they next had training
”So it's ok Don't worry about it”
”I see”
Meishen looked to be finally at ease
This shop was always full because of their delicious noodles, but today, the shop was surprisingly e the screen, so no one sat around Layfon's table Everyone one to watch the platoon match
Because the audience seats were booked out, lots of people would have gathered outside to watch the iant screen For this shop that only had a small screen to offer, of course the number of customers was s for the food We're lucky,” Layfon concluded, picked up his fork and attacked the noodles
”Ah, yes” Even so, Meishen still nodded aardly and picked up her fork in haste
(Well, this can't be helped)
Because Naruki and Mifi weren't here
Originally, Layfon planned to invite all three as thanks for Meishen's bento
”We can't go,” Mifi had said
The shop was nearly empty, but Meishen still failed to calirls were here
(Why didn't they co on, but Mifi's sly s
Because Layfon had received his pay for cleaning at the Mechanical Departinally he planned to work at the Mechanical Department for his school fees, but Karian had transferred him to Military Arts and waived all his fees, so now he had spare money
”Ha Wu” Meishenthe noodles around her fork
Looking at Meishen, Layfon wondered whether he should have delayed the date and waited till all three girls could come
”Sorry”
”Huh, Huh?” Meishen lifted her head to look at hied to roll up fell back into the bowl
”I'ht have been better if I had waited till the three of you could coether”
”Noooottttt Not at all”
”Really?”
”Yeah, yeah Yes,” Face reddening, Meishen continued to work on the noodles
Layfon pushed down the impulse to repeat himself, and continued to eat
Sudden cheers filled the shop Meishen looked over, and so did Layfon
”What's happened?”
”Sorry, I can't see it either”
They couldn't see the screen because of the e before it He could have strengthened his hearing with internal Kei, but he wasn't that interested in the match
”You don't see or losing a match”
”Yeah, I suppose”
”So you're still not interested in it now?”
”Umnot really”
”Layfon isn't concerned about his opponents because he's very strong?”
”Not really It's just that”
”Ah, I' as if she had asked too much
”Oh, no I don't feel like that Umhow should I put it?” he paused
”Military Artists are always the center of attention in Grendan”
”Center of attention?”
”Yeah You know that Grendan has an unusual number of encounters with filth monsters?”
”Yes”
”There're lots of people in Grendan who can use Kei, but it's totally different for one to use that Kei to fight filthnuhts with filth monsters, those Military Artists are valued So between Military Artists, there are many matches like the platoon matches here There are also official contests to choose ht filth ment in an official match to become a Military Artist”
To Layfon, the students of Zuellni were too lax Although he never let down his guard in a platoon match, he had never felt the tension he had back in Grendan He was better at fighting without knowing any inforht when he was ignorant of everything
On so, perhaps he really was despicable
But that was matter of fact in a match One couldn't alait for five minutes before a war starts
”I've heard of it, soives Has Layton participated in that kind of a contest?”
”Yes”
Not only that, but he had also obtained the title that the Queen gave out – a Heaven's Blade successor
He didn't have the courage to tell Meishen and her friends about that
Either way, he did so that caused the Queen to take back his title He didn't think he was in the wrong, but in the end, what he did was a big issue against the city's system He was afraid that Meishen and her friends would fear him
(Do I really have an issue inside me?)
He remembered those sad eyes of Nina's when she knew of his past Would that pair of eyes appear on another person too?Thinking of that, everything becaht filth monsters?”
”Yeah”
Layfon was unsure whether it was because his ansas too simple, but Meishen had a shocked expression on her face
”Weren't you scared?”
”Huh?”
”I was so scared when that happened not long ago I was in the shelter all the ti out thereThinking that I ht die, I was very scared”
”But that's a part of any Military Artist's job”
”Naruki wants to be a policewoman, and LayfonYou don't want to be like that, do you?”
”No, but”
In a world where humanity could only survive in cities, a world where Military Artists were a threat to filth es in cities, they weren't permitted to run away from filth monsters
This was the absolute rule of any city
(Even so, I want to abandon my identity as a Military Artist)
He didn't resent Karian for transferring him into Military Arts anymore, but he hadn't re his drea a reality
(Perhaps)
Perhaps the part of him in Grendan didn't want him to abandon his identity as a Military Artist It seeive up Military Arts and pick up so an even harder and more painful road
The name Layfon Alseif was taboo in Grendan
