"Mummy... you're motivated..."
Hildegard was leaking such a grunt as he slammed onto the clerk's desk in the dean's office.
Seeing it, it wasn't majestic or anything, but now I have no choice but to reopen it and make it grand.
I have accumulated paperwork that I can't process unless I'm the Dean of the College, but I'm not willing to look through with hatred.
No, there's no way we can do this in the first place.
I know I'll see you cry later on in those accumulated for a week, but I still can't do what I can't.
"I don't care if I at least know where I am..."
But more than I know, there's nothing I can do.
If I knew, I'd throw something about the academy, but I'd pick you up.
- It was early, and a week had already passed since that day.
That day... since Hildegard abandoned Soma and ran away, and as it were, the day Soma went missing.
Hildegard, who felt a shard of the power of the Evil God vanish, immediately returned to that hierarchy.
But all that was there was an altered hall, and where he had searched, he could not even find a clue as to Soma's appearance.
Still don't think Soma is dead because Hildegard can sense Soma's presence.
Even if we don't know where we are, we only know that we're alive.
That's not Hildegard's power as a former god, nor is it his power as a former dragon.
No, I'm sure it's nearby if they say it's the power of the former god... which is due to Hildegard's reincarnation of Soma into this world.
Because of this, he gained the edge and also gained something like skill, Hildegard is able to grasp even though it's only a big mess of whether Soma survives or not in this world.
That's why at least Soma is alive.
I'm not worried about that.
"Nooo... if I had a body like that back then I could have gone looking for it easily...... No, but then it won't be possible to make a child with Soma, so it doesn't make sense...?... Mmm."
That is, this is this, that is.
It seemed like time was still needed for the Dean of the College to return to work.
As the surroundings were wrapped in white monochrome, the boy was looking up at the ceiling alone.
It's also white there... I don't know why it's white, but it seems this is one of the things brought in from different worlds.
Towards such a place, the boy clenched his fist so as to grab something there as he stuck his right hand out.
"Shit... let me say thank you..."
I don't feel uncomfortable with that feeling.
I broke my fist, and I just brought it to my face, and what's there is still a feeling I remember.
It's like I dreamed about that day... but I know best that I'm not.
There was no way I could forget the fear and pain I felt then.
But it's all gone without a trace.
Soon afterwards, the noise around us was, in a way, interesting.
"Damn, what Temeer did would be many times more magical than what I could use."
Then he wants to be able to use magic very seriously, so that's the joke.
With that in mind, now with my left hand, I touch my right hand and face in turn.
The doctor told me it was difficult to undo them where the magic was used.
Even so, it is completely ridiculous because it is the swordsman who cured it.
What's really stupid is that I don't really want power, if that's what you get, and I guess I'm the one who tried to throw everything away.
"... come back properly. I can't believe I borrowed it, it doesn't suit me sexually. I'll definitely give it back to Temeer."
Groaning to proclaim so, Lars looked up from inside the hospital room, out the window.
"... eh"
After several deep breaths, Helen opened the door to the room thoughtfully.
What spreads out there is, naturally, a dorm hallway.
But even then, he takes a step further, scolding his feet, which are about to fall back frightened.
"Huh... Huh..."
If you succeed, you will mark the next step and take it one step further.
Slowly, but surely, we move on.
It would be hilarious to see it from the side, but from Helen, who still had to pull it off all the time, today was quite an achievement.
If it works, I might be able to keep going to the classroom.
To be honest, I'm still scared about that.
Perhaps Helen didn't understand exactly what it meant to go to college.
I was reminded of that… the moment I saw that face and arm completely destroyed.
No, or maybe that perception is wrong, too.
I guess that's rarely the case, actually.
But it can happen, and it's true that I couldn't imagine it.
And that means being made a classmate.
Well, I figured it out later that it was a mistake, but still the fear I learned there never faded.
It was my classmate who got me to do that, and it was the senior who led me to do that.
Whichever it is, it doesn't make any difference that they went to the labyrinth with each other just a little while ago.
Maybe I'll see myself like that next time.
Perhaps it is someone I know who makes me see myself like that.
With that in mind, I couldn't get a step out of my room anymore.
Or maybe at that point, I should have quit college.
Helen has advanced magic skills.
In this country, it will be possible to recover whatever it takes.
I'm still not sure why I didn't.
But I heard that soma went missing, and then a week later, I heard they hadn't found it.
That's what I thought, not like this.
I still don't know what to do or what I want to do.
Still.
I thought I didn't want to stay on the run.
"... eh"
So as she embraced her trembling body, Helen headed to the classroom one by one.
"... ha"
Looking left and right from his own sitting place, Sylvia exhaled her sigh.
In the front row of the classroom, I'm in a magic class.
It's not a more popular place than it was... but there's only one person there now.
All right, nobody's even sitting right behind you, and that's about sighing too.
This has been the way things have been here lately.
Karine, who's in class, is missed somewhere.
A week.
That's all that's been going on, but I think the atmosphere in Magic Guidance has changed a lot.
Even before that, it was rudimentary, but still nowhere, and I feel like there was a sense of security lying there.
Though I have some anxiety...... Still, I thought maybe it would be okay.
But now, there is no such thing as a boy who was the source of it.
"... ha"
Think of it, it leaks nature and sigh.
Past the back of your brain is the sight of that time.
When he abandoned Soma, his guilt and helplessness came back... but Sylvia looked back at it from the front and raised her face.
I've stopped mourning my helplessness.
It is true that everything was not enough, but where I regretted it, I did not do anything.
Besides, I could finally notice.
"... ok"
So whining small, Sylvia listened to the class.
One day, again, if anything happens.
That's when I told you not to regret it.
I tried my best to do what I could now.
Aina watched the sight in front of her, watching Bo all the time, not doing anything.
Basically a repetition of the same thing, although there are changes from time to time.
Sounds I could hear and things I'm used to seeing.
That's all that's gone by, it's just...
"... Eina?
If I turned my gaze to the voice I could hear, there was the golden haired girl I was used to seeing - Sheila, tilting her neck.
He asks what he is doing.
"... I'm not doing anything. If I insist, change your mood, huh?
"... come all the way to the swordsmanship department?
"That's why. If you were in the Magic Guidance Department, you'd be curious to remember what happened."
"... is that maybe the same here?
"... sure"
If I had taken classes in Magic Guidance, I would always hate to remember Soma taking classes in the front row.
Or, if you're looking at a sword, it's about Soma that inevitably comes to mind.
This hasn't caused any mood swings.
"Ma, don't worry about me. 'Cause I think I'll be back in time."
The time will come to shake off something like the voidness that now occupies this breast, although it is not motivated by a lot of things.
That doesn't mean you forget about Soma.
In one way or another, the other.
'Cause now, it's some kind of chance.
The fact that Soma isn't here means she can hone herself without Soma's knowledge.
When we meet again, we see Soma's surprise-stained face.
That was just imaginary and very exciting.
It's just... just a little now, 'cause I don't have the strength to stand up.
I just need a little forgiveness.
Stay away from Soma… not too far away, and build up your energy for the next.
"Well, we're close to a long vacation, and at worst, we'll figure something out in the meantime."
"... n"
The Royal College has a long vacation of about a month in summer and spring.
In the meantime, I'm really free.
You don't have to ask permission from the college to go out and play or stay out.
Well, if you're staying out of the house, you need to notify them, but it doesn't mean that you won't be able to do so if you keep your notification in place.
It is not uncommon for those who take advantage of that period to return home.
"Speaking of which, is Sheila deciding what to do during her long vacation? I... I've been thinking a lot about it, but apparently most of it isn't going to work."
"...... hmm.... I think I'll go home for a little while"
"I'm going home... to that city?
It's that city that Sheila and I first met, Yaster, that comes to mind when Aina is told she's leaving.
But Sheila was there, shaking her neck to the side.
For that was not the place where Sheila said she would return.
"... in that forest"
"Huh... that means Sheila was born and raised?
"... n"
I was surprised at that nod, because Sheila was sure she wouldn't go back until she could use the magic, etc.
Sheila is stubborn for this.
I don't think it's that easy to translate what I said once.
"... There was something I thought was different about this one, too.... so I'd like to stare back a bit"
"... well"
To the word, Eina thought it was.
Aina isn't the only one who's shocked by this... No, or Sheila, maybe she's more shocked than Aina.
Eina and Sheila are both shocked that Soma has gone missing.
But more than that, I'm shocked that they left me completely this time.
Probably thinking about Eina and the others.
But I'm not happy to be cared for like that.
Sheila's shock, especially in her arms, must not be Aina's ratio.
"... and then also brush the arms of the knife.... Now, I'll never let you leave me"
"... that"
And apparently, it was right.
Only those eyes were burning with determination in the scarce look of change as usual.
Sheila's purpose is to make sure she can use magic.
But at the same time, I am proud of the arm of the knife I have worked out.
That would be the case.
"Speaking of complacency... I'm also proud of the arm of the sword. I wonder what the instructor here is doing...?
"... come on?
That's about Lina, of course, but that figure, which is supposed to be a swordsmanship instructor, wasn't there right now.
Everything has disappeared from time to time lately.
I wonder if that's okay, but they don't have a problem with anything because basic swordsmanship classes are self-study.
Same with swordsmanship students who are uplifting in the first place.
Instead, I'll make you regret leaving me alone, you think you're working hard with that kind of momentum?
"Well, I suppose that girl has a lot to think about."
"... n"
Camilla and others, although they were blatant enough to hear that Soma had gone missing, just can't do that to that frontier.
Though I do agree that there is no way Soma is going to die.
"... really, I wonder where and what you're doing by now"
".................. n"
With such a conversation, the two of them looked up at the sky almost simultaneously.
I think the same thing.
"Damn, make me worry so much about those lame quotes... come back soon, idiot"
The little whining words were shaking just a little.
The girl walked alone through the usual place, where all the greenery was flourishing.
It doesn't even make you feel the breath of an organism other than yourself. There, with the quiet as ever, it makes you feel creepy in no place.
Or maybe that's the impression people feel from the name of the place, itself.
Witch Forest.
That was where it was called.
But the girl's steps do not precipitate, and she moves on without hesitation.
I'm so used to being called a garden. So there's no reason to remember fear anymore.
But the usual steps stopped unexpectedly.
Somehow, because I learned something like discomfort.
Tilt your neck... but without grasping its identity, distort your frown.
Still, I decided to think it was my fault in the end, and let the walk resume - it was at the next moment that I realized that.
"-!?
Reflectively distance himself from what was at his feet... so he finally figured out what was rolling on the ground.
If you're not hallucinating.
"... people? That too, boy...? Here, is...?
In front of that unlikely rare customer, while shaking her brightly dyed hair, the girl - what she called a witch - opened her eyes in amazement.
"Mummy... you're motivated..."
Hildegard was leaking such a grunt as he slammed onto the clerk's desk in the dean's office.
Seeing it, it wasn't majestic or anything, but now I have no choice but to reopen it and make it grand.
