The word “help” was said out of the blue.
The abruptness of the words of “help” of course raised a question mark in Adele’s mind.
However, there was no way that the hero would not think anything of it when he was told to “help.”
Therefore, Adele left the classroom as Luna led the way.
Shana and Elesia were left in the classroom as they were still at lunch.
“So, what’s the situation? I’m sure it must be something serious because you’re barging in on me. ……”
They walk along the terrace that leads outside the school building, not knowing where they are going. There, Adele asked Luna.
“…… sorry, it’s quite a hassle.”
“Are you serious?”
“I’m serious,…….”
An apologetic look appeared on Luna’s face as she walked quickly.
Seeing this, Adele scratched his head uncomfortably.
(I really didn’t intend to get involved with a big person. ……)
People know the story that Adele is a “black knight”.
Many people are skeptical, but if he is convinced within this academy, he will be afraid after graduating from the academy.
If a person is convinced in this school, he will be afraid after graduating from the school.
Therefore, Adele honestly did not want to have much to do with Luna.
Moreover, Luna had declared herself a fan at the beginning of their encounter.
It was safe to assume that she was already somewhat convinced.
But…
( can’t help it if she asks me to help her.)
He can’t overlook it in any way.
This is probably because of Adele’s kind nature, which is contradictory in a way.
(Besides, is this girl …… perhaps the one I saved before?)
Some time ago, I once saved a girl who was being attacked by someone.
I had a feeling that the girl I saw then and the girl beside me now were similar.
If that was true, it would explain why I was approached in the first place. But let’s put aside the “fans” thing.
“You know how I told you I was going to start a salon?”
Luna opened her mouth as she recalled something that had happened a while ago.
“Adele kun, I’m sure you have some idea of what I’m talking about,……, but I was trying to create it in order to gather allies.”
“factions, right?”
“Yes, a faction. I really wanted to have allies. ……”
Suddenly, Luna’s fast walking feet stopped.
Why? And even Adele’s feet stopped.
But Luna, despite Adele’s doubts, took a deep breath.
It was as if she was preparing for something.
And then…
“The Black Knight …..no, Adele kun. Will you join me?”
—–She began to say something like that.
“…………”
He did not answer immediately. However, if it were true, Adele wanted to shake his head and say to the best of his ability, “I am not a ‘black knight!”
After all, he did not want to join a faction of the slimy aristocratic society. There was a possibility that he would get into trouble, and the world of profit and loss, where people look at each other’s faces, did not suit him at all.
But the answer is too straightforward.
Normally, they should solicit with some kind of relationship value or some event in between. Otherwise, there is a possibility of being rejected.
“…..I really didn’t mean to say it in this way.”
However, Luna straight away said it without interrupting anything.
Even when she mentioned the word “black knight,” she was honest and serious.
That’s why he didn’t even tell a negative lie, saying, “It’s different.”
“……What’s going on right now?”
Adele asked suspiciously, slightly changing the main axis of the question.
“One up, there’s my brother”
“Elesia told me about him.”
“That brother is preventing me from establishing a salon …….”
If you can’t create a salon, you can’t gather friends.
To be exact, it’s not impossible, but if you create a salon, you can collect them faster and more efficiently, and the relationship value will be more stubborn.
However, how does this have anything to do with me? That makes me wonder.
“So now Serena is fighting for the establishment of a salon …… .”
Luna steps forward again.
Was it because of the memory of the girl who was escorting him? It was no exaggeration to say that she was no longer running, even faster than her earlier speed.
As if following her, Adele also started running.
“Why is your brother interrupting the salon? I’m sure he would have allowed you to gather your friends.”
“……It’s a long story. And besides…….”
As soon as she started to say that, Luna looked at Adele apologetically.
For some reason, there are tears in her eyes.
“…Um, I’m sorry. You can turn back after all. It’s probably only going to be troublesome from here on out.”
Adele did not understand Luna’s feelings.
What does she mean by bringing him here and then turning him back? Did she feel sorry for him as she got closer? Or is it because she can’t rely on herself?
The expression on Luna’s face ……, which is blurred with guilt, is probably the former.
“……….”
What should I do at this point?
Undoubtedly, if he will get involved in this matter, his relationship with the second princess will become stronger, and I will be involved with other royalty as well.
If I want to spend three years quietly, discreetly, and corruptly, I should definitely turn back.
“…………”
Adele pondered a bit as he ran.
And then he slowly opened his mouth.
“I’m…”
♦️♦️♦️
Serena, the second princess’s bodyguard, was at the training ground.
The reason she was in an out-of-place place to spread her lunch even though it was her lunch break was simply because she was holding a sword.
And in front of her…
“Serena, maybe you should just give up.”
From the audience a short distance away, such voices can be heard.
Among the students turning to the audience that can be glimpsed. There, she saw the figure of the third prince whom she has seen many times.
“I’m not giving up,……!”
“Ummm,……, why are you so desperate? The reason why she is so desperate to get together with her friends may have something to do with the attack the other day.”
“〜〜〜〜!”
“Hahaha! It’s okay to stare at me so hard, but I’m not the one you’re dealing with, okay?”
The moment he said those words, she saw the sword about to be swung down in front of her eyes.
The sword was not lowered, but instead, a kick was thrown at her vacant torso.
“Bahh!”
“I’m sorry, miss. I have my orders too.”
The small body of Serena rolls on the ground.
Seeing this, the third prince in the audience – Julius – showed an amused smile.
“Hahahaha! You’re fighting against my guard, and he’s ranked second in the second grade! No matter how strong you are, there’s no way you can beat him!”
So let’s just give up, he said.
Not only Julius, but also several students who were watching with him raised their voices, including the same sneer.
(you …… prick!)
Serena adores Luna.
She is an easy-going friend, but also has a gentle personality that makes you want to protect her.
And if it was for that reason, she would have grabbed a sword as much as she could, and she would have made every effort to do so.
However, the opponent in front of her is……stronger than her is.
(Even though there is a difference in experience just by being one rank higher, he is ranked higher than me!)
Serena slowly got up, coughing several times.
The cuts and bruises from the many times she’s been hit make her legs tremble and she can’t move her body as much as she’d like.
Even so, even though she knew he was stronger than herself, she had to win this match.
In any case…….
(Hime-san needs more friends to survive in the …… succession struggle.)
If Hime-san doesn’t have more friends, she won’t survive the succession battle. Serena glanced once again at Julius, who was in the audience.
Then, she shouted with all her might.
“Come on, come on! Make way for the princess!”
Then, for some reason, the sky was instantly darkened and covered in shadows.
“…… huh?”
A strange voice escapes Julius’ mouth because of the sudden situation.
The students who were in the audience with Julius and even Serena and the others who were holding swords froze and reflexively looked up above them.
The sky, which had been clear and blue just a few moments before, was dazzlingly bright.
It was not until a little later that they realized that it was all blocked by a cluster of thin trees.
But before that, however, from overhead…
“Rampant, you bastard. It’s time to discipline the little fish that makes women cry.”
—A boy carrying a jet-black sword appeared in the training area.
