Chapter 355
that time.
Ellen was about to return to the ecliptic after taking a break in her hometown of Lizaira.
I was curious about the secrets of my hometown, but my parents just said it wasn’t time to find out.
However, although Ellen is different from her brother, she ended up having two sacred relics like her brother.
Cloak of the sun god.
He could have returned a little earlier, but the time delay was to get used to the use of the sun god’s cloak.
Ellen was the first to show Reinhardt the cloak of the sun god. She said she got another holy relic in preparation for the fight against the demon lord.
I haven’t decided yet how to explain the oddities in my hometown. Because you have to explain something you don’t even know.
Reinhardt won’t tell you about his secret, so can I just tell you my secret?
no.
Rather, if you tell me your secret, wouldn’t you tell me a little bit about your secret even if you feel sorry for yourself?
Ellen had a little bit of such a vague expectation.
to be honest.
Anything else is fine.
Since he had been away for so long, he wanted to see Reinhardt quickly.
What have you been doing all this time? Even though her personality is bad, she is not lazy, so she must have been busy doing this and that training.
Ellen was also eager to return quickly from Lizaira.
Because I wasn’t confident, I would have had to practice swordsmanship with someone else. I would have practiced swordsmanship with someone else.
If there were people who could be Reinhardt’s opponents, at least two came to mind in Ellen’s mind.
Saviolin Tana, the first-year housekeeper.
or not.
“… … .”
Year 5, Olivia Ranze.
Thinking that she might be training swordsman with a senior she didn’t like, Ellen wanted to come back even a day sooner. Because she is prone to strange behavior.
As soon as Ellen passed through the warp gate in front of the temple, she quickly entered the temple entrance.
Maybe they’re scolding me for coming too late.
I haven’t been away for that long though.
Ellen got on the tram and headed for the Royal Class dormitory in needless worry and nervousness.
Of course, he wasn’t training with Olivia.
“If it’s Reinhardt… … . I haven’t seen you since yesterday.”
It was Cliffman’s answer to the question of where Reinhardt was.
* * *
No one knew externally that Charlotte, Saviolin Tana, and Reinhardt had gone to the Devil’s Castle.
Since it was vacation, Reinhardt could go somewhere to play, or he could be away for a few days.
If so, where did you go?
Ellen didn’t mind waiting for Reinhardt to return from the dormitory.
Still, the body is a bit sweet. I wanted to quickly show Reinhardt the new holy relic and talk about it.
And again.
He is strong and has the confidence to become stronger.
He may be angry if he hears this, but Reinhardt is still weaker than himself.
if you want
I’m really sorry to my parents who gave away the treasures of the village.
Because he thought it would be better for him to die than to see Reinhardt die.
Wouldn’t it be better for Reinhardt to have the sun god’s cloak?
Ellen also thinks so inwardly.
I can give it to you if you want.
Even if she was curious about Reinhardt’s expression after hearing those words, Ellen wanted to see Reinhardt quickly.
Where did Reinhardt go?
I don’t think I told anyone where I was going. I wanted to ask Harriet, but Harriet was also out of the dormitory, and when I went to the magic research club, it seems that Harriet is currently conducting magic research at the Imperial Palace.
Although she didn’t know what to do with magic research at the imperial palace, Ellen knew that Harriet and Reinhardt weren’t together.
If so, next.
-smart
“What are you?”
5th grade dormitory.
Olivia Ranze opened the door at Ellen’s knock and stared at Ellen with a cold expression.
Somehow, Olivia, who seems to have changed a little from before, looks up at Ellen.
He’s a person who usually laughs even if he’s unlucky. Now, his expression was cold, without a trace of laughter.
For a while, I felt a sense of incongruity that Olivia Ranze had changed something from before.
“Reinhardt, do you know where you are?”
Ellen wasn’t particularly frightened by Olivia, so she only told her business.
“… … Aren’t you in the dorm?”
“I heard you went somewhere since yesterday. I wondered if her sister knew.”
“Sheesh, you’re just hanging out without talking to me again.”
Olivia spat out a grumble as if she was sad, then smiled at Ellen.
“But you don’t know, so I don’t feel like a dog.”
“… … .”
In the end, they start fighting as usual.
Olivia doesn’t even know Reinhardt’s whereabouts.
Ellen then had no business with Olivia anymore.
“It’s fine if you don’t know.”
“Oh, turn it off.”
-bang!
Ellen stares at Olivia’s door, which is roughly closed.
“… … ?”
this person.
In the past, if it was the feeling of pretending to hide a thorn in your bosom.
Should I say that I feel like a hedgehog now?
Ellen couldn’t help but feel that Olivia had changed from before.
Ellen thinks as she walks down the hallways of her 5th grade dorm.
Harriet is researching magic in the imperial palace.
Olivia is confined to her room.
No one in the dormitory knows where Reinhardt has gone.
Then there was only one place to go. If he hadn’t left the ecliptic and went to another place, there was only one place Reinhardt could go.
Rotary Club.
It doesn’t matter if you’re not there.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time.
Ellen left the dormitory she had just arrived in.
* * *
Basically, Ellen wasn’t very interested in other people.
After getting close to Reinhardt, things have changed a bit, and as I made friends, I tend to try to be interested in them.
But basically, Ellen is indifferent and indifferent to what is going on around her. So, she has a limited number of subjects to carefully examine.
So, Ellen doesn’t know exactly what a Rotary club is. A suspiciously strong white-haired woman is the leader of the group. That’s all.
I was curious about what the white-haired lady was doing, but I never delved deeper into it.
An ajumma who gets angry when called ajumma.
I am just aware of that.
However, Reinhardt’s secret is related to the Rotary club.
The Rotary Club is associated with the thieves’ guild, so Reinhardt and Reinhardt’s secret are involved in something like a criminal organization.
I was just guessing that much.
The white-haired woman used to beat herself up badly when she visited, but lately she hadn’t been to much.
Ellen left the temple and went to the Rotary club’s new headquarters.
After Reinhardt’s disappearance, an unrelated relationship with the Rotary club was formed.
I now know that the situation has improved a lot since the shops of the magic train started to open.
However, what is the true nature of the Rotary club hidden beneath the surface?
Ellen thinks that Reinhardt’s secret is connected to a criminal organization, so she just thinks that the gray-haired woman is suspiciously strong because she is the head of an unusual criminal organization.
Because of the misunderstanding, Ellen was assuming a very suspicious fact.
He’s obviously a vicious criminal, but he’s a precious person to Reinhardt, so let’s not wonder.
So Ellen wasn’t crossing that line.
The headquarters of such a Rotary club.
“What? Reinhardt’s girlfriend.”
“… … ?”
The people at the club’s headquarters said that when they saw Ellen, because they had seen her a few times.
girl friend.
At those words, Ellen couldn’t help but tilt her head, but bowed her head toward the club member who recognized her.
girl friend.
girl friend.
girl friend.
Those words strangely lingered in my head.
And another club member next to the person who called himself Reinhardt’s girlfriend tapped him on the shoulder.
“Uh-huh, what is Reinhardt talking about? Reinhardt didn’t say anything.”
“Oops, is your girlfriend Adriana?”
“If you leave it to me… … . Didn’t you say everything?”
Adriana.
When the name was mentioned, Ellen couldn’t help but tilt her head even more.
Why do Rotary clubs know about Adriana, a senior who dropped out of Temple?
-bang!
“Ahh!”
Then, suddenly, the door burst open and someone came out.
It was a white-haired woman.
It was as if he was running away from something, and he was about to jump out with a look of apprehension.
Whatever she was doing, her hair was covered in white foam.
– Aren’t you coming?! You don’t have to wash all the foam off!
And, from inside, a very angry cry was heard.
“no! I hate washing my hair! Why do I have to wash my hair every day!”
-What are you talking about?! Aik! stay there!
“I take care of my hygiene… … ?”
At those words, the white-haired woman cried out in horror, then stopped talking. It was because her eyes met Ellen’s, who was staring at her blankly in front of headquarters.
“uh… … . you?”
And then, someone from headquarters jumped out.
Whatever happened, the black dress she was wearing was wet.
“… … uh… … . you?”
It was the old Temple senior, Adriana.
* * *
Adriana washed her hair and dragged Loyard who ran out and washed her hair again.
Ellen sat quietly in her boss’s office on the top floor of the Rotary club’s headquarters.
Ellen doesn’t know the exact reason, but she does know that Adriana dropped out of Temple.
And, I know that the reason Reinhardt knows Harriet’s parents is because Reinhardt went to the monastery where Adriana returned to because of the dropout problem.
It was because I had heard from Reinhardt on the last night of the festival that Adriana’s monastery was a monastery in the Duchy of Saint-Ouan.
and that night.
I also saw Olivia Ranze and Adriana return to the Royal Class dorms in the middle of the night.
I don’t know what happened or what happened after that.
but.
After that, it seems that Adriana is not going back to the monastery, but rather is staying at the Rotary club headquarters.
It seems to be a problem that you don’t have to pay much attention to.
A strange sense of incongruity was wriggling in Ellen’s mind.
Above all.
The expression Adriana had after meeting Ellen.
That expression of obvious bewilderment.
It gave Ellen a hunch that there was something out of the ordinary.
No matter how much time passed, Adriana, who was wearing a clean white dress, went up to the top floor of the headquarters.
Adriana was alone where the white-haired lady was.
Adriana and Ellen aren’t very close. Of course, it wasn’t as bad as his relationship with Olivia.
A senior who was close with Reinhardt.
It is no longer in the template.
It was nothing but a senior-junior relationship.
“ah… … . hmm… … . Are you Ellen? long time no see.”
It was the same for Adriana, so she sat across from Ellen with a slightly awkward smile.
“Yes, it’s been a while.”
There is no right to interrogate Ellen.
However, Adriana came to see Ellen, who had been waiting for her, as if she had to face Ellen.
“I didn’t expect you to be here.”
“Ah, um… … . There are various circumstances. I happened to… … .”
Adriana smiles awkwardly.
He’s not good at lying, Ellen is sure.
“Isn’t Reinhardt here?”
Ellen first brought out the most important thing she had ever come to this place.
Now, I don’t know if this is really important or not.
“Yeah, I didn’t come here. if… … . Is something going on?”
At Adriana’s worried words, Ellen shook her head.
“No, I thought it wasn’t at the temple, so I stopped by to see if it was here. Nothing happened. Even if there is… … . It’s something I don’t know.”
It’s not like I had any reason to say it.
However, Reinhardt was doing various things in a place he did not know. Adriana’s stay at the Rotary club is likely something Reinhardt did.
Even so, there was no obligation for Reinhardt to tell him about Adriana’s circumstances.
but.
Adriana and Olivia returning to the temple in the middle of the night.
The faces of the two hardened.
Reinhardt’s reaction seemed to know something.
What is it?
what was it
“May I ask why you are staying here?”
At Ellen’s question, Adriana wiggled her fingertips and squeezed the hem of the dress.
“that… … . There was a problem with the monastery where I was staying and I couldn’t be there. so… … . I asked Olivia-senpai for help the other day. So, the place where Reinhardt will live… … . He said he could find out… … . So, here… … . huh. That’s how it happened.”
A person who can’t lie.
Ellen thought of that again as she looked at Adriana.
* * *
There was no Reinhardt in the Rotary Club.
Adriana lied to herself.
Ellen didn’t pursue Adriana further, and there was no good reason. Even the white-haired lady broke in with her towel hanging around her neck and took Adriana away somewhere. While she was saying that he should play with me.
Ellen returned to the Royal Class Dormitory.
Reinhardt left for a moment. It’s vacation, so that’s quite possible.
Ellen, however, intended to find out a little more about this strange affair.
Asking Adriana more questions was impossible because of the gray-haired woman.
There was one more person to ask.
-smart
Ellen came to the 5th grade dorm again and knocked on the door.
– Click
“… … why, what, what You don’t know where Reinhardt is?”
As soon as she saw her, Olivia, who had a nervous expression, said as if screeching.
I thought about what words to start with.
“You were with Adriana-senpai the other day.”
“… … uh?”
Olivia’s already nervous expression hardened even more when the name was mentioned.
“I have something to say to that senior, but where is he?”
Olivia looks at Ellen quietly.
“What do you mean? I’ll give it to you instead.”
Rather than annoying, it is a sign of caution.
“Because I want to say it myself.”
“… … .”
Olivia looked at Ellen and then said as if tossing it.
“I went back to the monastery.”
this is a lie too.
Ellen confirmed that both Adriana and Olivia were lying to her.
“is it so?”
“okay. Even if you tell me where it is, it will be difficult to find. If nothing else, I just don’t care… … .”
“That senior. Adriana.”
Ellen tilts her head.
“I just met you at the Rotary Club on the way.”
“… … what?”
Olivia’s expression hardened even more sternly at Ellen’s point.
“senior.”
Ellen looks straight up at Olivia.
After inducing them to lie, and then getting them caught off guard.
“Miss Temple Contest, why didn’t you come?”
Ellen asked the most important question.
