Chapter 305
In the end, Liana stubbornly insisted that she take me, and it took another year to remove it. Fortunately for her, the other kids seem to be okay with Riana, so she persuaded her to just go for a while, and then Riana let me go with a distrustful look.
There was talk of whether or not I should report it to the security guard, but I was sweating while pretending that I hadn’t been in any serious trouble.
After removing all my makeup and changing clothes outside the temple, I returned to the dormitory.
The dress was left in Ellerith’s cellar.
Since it was expensive, I thought it would be better to just resell it than to throw it away.
Naturally, the trophy was thrown away.
There is such an expression in martial arts.
Jin Won Jin Ki.
In other words, it’s a concept like human’s fundamental bioenergy, but it’s like a last-ditch emergency battery that can be considered dead if you use it.
My whole body was drained of energy to the point where I felt as if I had taken it out and used it.
You wouldn’t have seen me in the dorm since I’d been out all day. Of course, besides me, there are a lot of guys who roam around.
Of course, I came back quite late, so when I returned to the dormitory, I could see the guys I faced today with completely different looks.
“Hey, what have you been doing all day?”
Representatively, Liana de Granz, who bravely said that her sister would take her.
“Since it’s a festival, we wandered around.”
“alone?”
“Sometimes you just want to be alone.”
I just put a lot of pressure on my shoulders.
Maybe you’ll find a connection between what you just saw and who you are now. To be honest, I think it’s only natural that we don’t recognize ourselves when we look in the mirror.
I actually didn’t know all of them.
But seeing him in Reinhardt’s form like this made me nervous for no reason, so my heart raced like crazy.
oh you
hey.
ah… … .
Oh, was it you?
I pretend to be okay because I’m afraid I’ll say something like this, but a cold sweat runs down my spine.
Liana giggled and put her arm around my shoulder.
“Didn’t you watch the dress up contest?”
“… … Why am I going there?”
actually… … .
gone… … .
Not at the liver level, but a contestant, and even a winner… … .
I’m even more amazed that I can’t recognize it at all… … .
“Oh, there was a good spectacle, but I couldn’t do it. Huh, you should have seen him.”
Liana laughed and went to her room.
The three brothers, no, the death penalty, met me after that, but there was no reaction.
but.
“… … ?”
“… … why.”
“uh? Oh no.”
Only Kono Lint had a slightly, strange reaction.
But in the end, he didn’t seem to notice either.
of course.
I’m back to my original Reinhardt look, not only did I remove my makeup, but my body shape, height, and face shape are all back to normal.
If you find out, it’s rather strange!
I guess so… … ?
* * *
The southern outskirts of the ecliptic.
The site of an abandoned monastery, which occupied a fairly large plot, was crowded with a group of people. The people gathered couldn’t be identified just by their clothes, but someone was sitting on an old wooden chair in the center of the place where the bonfire was burning.
A man sitting on a chair.
The former commander of the Templar Knights, Leverrier Ranche, was staring at a female student wearing a temple uniform standing across from her.
Her name is Lydia Schmidt.
A semi-finalist in the Unlimited Tournament and a 6th year student in the Temple Royal class.
“I don’t think that’s a very good idea.”
“… … I think it’s worth a try. Lord Boelton said he would take necessary action if the situation develops like that.”
“Illion Bolton?”
“yes.”
“Well, that friend would have no reason not to welcome Olivia back.”
Lydia Schmidt, with a determined expression, seemed to be determined for something.
“But if things don’t go the way you expect, things will go according to plan. Radia.”
“Yes, Captain.”
Apparently, the current leader of the Knights Templar was Ileion Bolton, but the female students were calling Lebarrier Ranche the leader.
Everyone here had no hesitation in calling the former leader, Leverrier Ranche, the leader. After finishing her business, Lydia Schmidt didn’t want to go back, but turned around again.
“Captain.”
“… … Anything else to say?”
Ladia could not hide her regret as she looked somewhere in the monastery.
“please… … . does it have to be that kid? After all, that child… … . The faithful who belong to the arms of God… … .”
“stop.”
LeBeria Ranche cut off his words in the middle as if he didn’t want to hear it anymore.
“As you said, I don’t know that Reinhardt is better suited for this role.”
When the name Reinhardt was mentioned, a strange feeling flashed in the girl’s eyes. The twisted hatred and anger shone in those eyes.
“But Reinhardt is a Temple Royal class student like you, and even a classmate of the prince and princess. He will know that it is not a situation where he can be tampered with.”
“… … .”
“Of course, if the situation doesn’t work out, you might have to try your hand at that too, but keep in mind that this is for the best at this point. Also, it wasn’t necessarily the decision to sacrifice that child. Depending on the circumstances, no one will get hurt.”
“… … Yes, Captain.”
After speaking, Lydia Schmidt left the abandoned convent.
The man next to Leberier Ranche spoke cautiously.
“Do you think that child will do what he thinks?”
“at all.”
Lebarrier Ranche shook his head with a firm expression.
“The idea is bold, but… … . It won’t turn out the way you think it will.”
“… … Is that so.”
“I am anxious. I know you’re good at it, but… … .”
LeBeria Ranche clicked his tongue as he looked in the direction the female student had disappeared.
“I hope you don’t do anything stupid.”
“sorry. Because we thought it would be helpful… … .”
The man who brought Radia Schmidt to the nameless monastery bowed to Leverrier Ranche.
But what happened is what happened.
The usefulness of Lydia Schmidt is not limited to this one time either. She’s graduating from the Temple soon, but she’s also scheduled to join the Knights Templar.
“From now on, we’ll screen people out and bring them in.”
“Yes, Captain.”
Like it or not, Lydia Schmidt was a talent that would be useful to this group.
“How is Adriana?”
“… … It is silent.”
“okay.”
Leberier Ranche nodded and instructed the man next to him.
“For now, it would be right to watch. Watch the progress of Ladia Schmidt’s plan, and if things don’t work out as expected, send a letter to Olivia. She’ll understand when I say she’s got Adriana.”
As long as Adriana is with her, calling Olivia out of the Temple is too easy.
The only thing that matters is what comes next.
Lebarrier Ranche was staring at the blazing flame.
Only Olivia Ranze can restore the honor of the fallen commander of the Templar Knights.
slowly from there.
Leberier Ranche was planning to write the history of the sacred land for a thousand years.
* * *
Adriana, sitting on a hard wooden bed, watched the pale moonlight streaming in through a small hole.
It is a room with only one hard wooden bed. And two paladins stood guard.
“… … .”
Adriana buried her face between her knees.
A nameless monastery.
In this place where she was led by Leverier Ranche, Adriana was living under the supervision of the Holy Knights belonging to the order.
I thought Leberier Ranche was trying to retaliate against me.
However, his own value did not arise in such a place.
‘In a few days, Olivia will come here.’
‘You just need to explain the situation to Olivia and convince her to change her mind.’
Leberier Ranche just said that.
If it’s a situation, what kind of situation is it, and if it’s persuasion, what kind of persuasion is it?
It’s a story about persuading Olivia, who had abandoned her faith, to go back to her faith, but Adriana couldn’t figure out why she had to do that.
only know
The fact that he was the bait to summon Olivia.
Leberier Ranche tries to get Olivia’s heart back. Even if she fails to undo it, she will try to restore her own authority and honor by reversing her words, since she has fallen because of the words of her foster daughter, Olivia.
He is just a bait for it.
Adriana denied it.
Olivia said that she had made her own choice, and that she had no reason or need to force it back.
after that.
Adriana had been locked up like this all along.
A nameless monastery.
Adriana knew that they were trying to create a new division in humanity after the Pandemonium War.
I was disappointed in those who had faith. It was the believer’s fault, not God’s fault.
but.
If those who believe in God are doing so wrong, shouldn’t God warn those who follow him?
Olivia will be here soon. If she knew she was being held hostage, she would have no choice but to come Olivia.
Because she is that kind of person.
Desperate to be a hostage, Adriana could do nothing.
A festival was going on at the northern temple.
In a ruin in the south, Adriana crouched, silently resenting God.

Thursday, breakfast time.
Kono Lint was having breakfast. She said that the story of Kono Lint entering her crossdressing contest was all over the A class.
But Cliffman was the only one who was horrified to hear that.
-Are you okay today, Harriet? How is your condition?
– It’s great, it’s okay.
Ellen isn’t interested, and Adelia and Harriet are busy talking about something between themselves.
I thought Reinhardt would definitely say something if he said he went there, but Reinhardt uh… … . why did you go out like that? I was just saying.
It was unexpected.
I thought it would be frightened, disgusted, or criticized.
So, Kono Lint was looking at Reinhardt for no reason. Even if he’s not the first one to touch, he’s the one who gets grumpy for no reason.
When Kono Lint ran into Reinhardt last night, he felt strange.
It’s hard to put into words, but something.
something strange feeling. I don’t know very well, but I think I know something, but I don’t feel what that seems to know.
such a subtle feeling.
Although it is during a festival, the morning scenery is not much different.
It seems like everyone is busy with their own work, except for Bertus.
Such an ordinary breakfast time.
Kono Lint slowly noticed Reinhardt for no reason. To notice is to stare.
Staring means watching Reinhardt.
And, Kono Lint sees Reinhardt’s hand eating next to Ellen in a seat not too far away.
that hand.
the nails.
its shape.
The shape was crooked, as if it had been bitten off.
“… … !”
When Kono Linth saw those nails, she had an intuition that was almost like a revelation, like electricity running through her body.
40 times anxious.
40 nail biting.
40 times I asked if it would be okay if I moved myself.
Number 40, who quietly held out his hand when asked for it.
of nails.
that.
Nails that have been bitten and ruined.
“no way.”
“?”
“?”
Kono Lint muttered involuntarily, then suddenly met Erhi and Kaieru’s eyes as if they were talking about something.
Absolutely not.
The person of yesterday, the silver-haired, angelic figure.
It’s hard to put into words, but that.
with that someone.
Reinhardt just said that the shape of biting his nails was similar.
It was number 40 with silver hair and golden eyes.
Reinhardt’s eyes are blue.
But that’s it, it’s just a matter of using lenses.
“no way.”
“… … what?”
“why are you like this?”
Kono Lint knows that his thoughts are absurd.
-Aren’t you going to an unlimited level tournament today?
-huh.
-… … Will it work out?
– I’ll do anything. But aren’t you leaving too? By winning the freshman tournament.
– No, I decided not to go out. Lucky for you, this.
-what?! Do you think I’ll lose to you?
-Huh, where does the idea that you’re going to win come from?
-Look at you!
The voices are too different.
Compared to yesterday’s sweet voice, which gave off a soft and warm feeling, doesn’t Reinhardt of today sound resentful even if he said the same thing?
There are always qualitative differences between people.
40 and Reinhardt, who were supple and kind, have a gap like an angel and a devil.
Kono Lint tried to suppress the unpleasant thoughts creeping up in his head.
however.
Isn’t that a bit similar? With a silver wig on that face, golden eyes, a little bit shorter, and a slim body, that’s it.
isn’t it right
“no way.”
“Oh, why are you like this?”
“Where are you sick?”
In the end, Kono Lint played A-3 on his own, causing criticism from his friends who were quietly eating.
