46 – Trap (4)⚝

On Sunday morning, I wrote a draft for a poster. Trey ate two of the baumkuchens he received from the princess, so Kite had to keep his mouth shut. She thought both of them were gifts, but is that so?

“Are you finished?”

I decided to read and revise my draft instead, so it’s like hitting Baumkuchen with this.

“Yes, my senior writes better than me, so please read and correct it.”

I take the scroll I wrote to bed and open it. Now I’m used to studying on my stomach, and when I wake up after falling asleep, I repeat studying again.

“What is the purpose?”

“Jang, Pan, and the combat system prevented solidarity.”

“Give me some charcoal over there.”

When I throw it, it lands on my back. He complained about not being able to give it properly, so I picked it up and handed it to him.

“This sentence.”

The senior stretched out her slender fingers and pointed to a phrase I had written.

「Therefore, this deposit is the money our pair puts aside for the treatment of our seniors’ injuries. You don’t have to accept it, but I think it’s necessary for a healthy duel, so please accept it without misinterpreting it.”

“I thought it was well written?”

“No, there is room for criticism if you decide and twist in battle.”

Then he corrects the text.

「This deposit is made by our pair to compensate for the mental and physical injuries of both combat and support classes. Therefore, it can be used for treatment by anyone who is injured, regardless of senior or junior. It is an expression of the will to be considerate of both sides and to have a healthy duel. So, I hope that you will forgive me without distorting the original meaning, and I am also willing to donate.”

“Isn’t that a bit long?”

“If it is a public opinion war, we must prepare for all possibilities.”

The senior can accuse her of not even mentioning the possibility of her being injured. Even the sentences that are longer than the first one are all to prevent people from being called arrogant.

“It seems a bit servile.”

“Of course you have to pretend to be servile. Can you fix the rest?”

“Please.”

Senpai smiled in vain when he said that the bed and Baumkuchen were all finished with this.

“Snail too.”

“That’s about it, I can rip it off and buy you some more.”

As I was packing my things for the run I couldn’t do yesterday, I suddenly wondered why Trey was always in need. If the Elon Te family were a prestigious family in the south, she would have provided huge amounts of support for living expenses, including tuition, but I’ve never seen her spend any money.

“Maybe.”

“I’m concentrating, so wait a bit.”

After changing into her yellow activewear, the senior finally raised her head.

“I’m fine now.”

“I wondered if the senior was an illegitimate child or a child out of wedlock.”

Throws charcoal at my face.

“Isn’t that a joke?”

“Because I am an illegitimate child.”

I blinked her eyes, and asked if it was so awkwardly.

“I received recognition. I just asked if you were in that situation too.”

“No.”

“So, you seem to have a personality that likes to get something to eat?”

Since it is on the bed, I can’t jump up and I just toss and turn my body.

“I know who the beggar is!”

“No, senior, please don’t be sensitive.”

I said I was joking, wondering if there was a reason not to be extravagant. If this is a reaction like this, I’ll give it up this time because I’m scared. It is said that jokes are judged by the listener, not by the person telling the joke.

“You really have no idea?”

“Oh, I started nagging again.”

I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know. I fired a triple attack and ran out. After running for more than two hours, the sun was up in the middle of the sky and I thought I wouldn’t be able to run anymore. I immediately went into the bath and washed myself. I went up to the dormitory.

「Library.」

“A person with hemorrhoids is a library desk?”

I must have gotten angry because I teased you in the morning. Solve it later in the evening. The revised draft was all finished, so I went down to the first-floor Pyogusa and asked them to decorate it. With this, I was able to respond to the Jiangfan brothers’ political maneuvering.

“You can paste it here.”

It is used as a bulletin board in the school, and the combat side is full of posters. Most of them are signatures, and nothing has changed from the previous ones. I checked what our support side had put on it.

「The 4th congratulations graduate, the daughter of Count Edouard. The eldest son of the Marquis of Omlinge, the Sorbonne, is due to be engaged next month.”

“Is this why you call me a jija?”

The name is an educational institution, but we put this as a pride. Looking at the Magicology page, the schedule for the Magical Academy held next month and the qualifications for participation are written on it. The administration shot down Professor Mo’s book, which was recently in its third printing, for not only having many typos, but also for plagiarizing other writings. Their culture of killing professors called ‘Totten’ also appeared here.

─I can understand why the word poop comes out.

Gizzards.

That’s why Heoden’s support cadets are called that in prestigious schools like Mentor and Orgiola. sh*t idiots who go to the fat academy. Who the hell did those words come from?

More than creative, imagination to the point of disgust. I don’t care if I’m ranked, but should I fill my pride by making such a degrading abbreviation? How funny it would be if Ain Kamphund, who had passed Belaste, heard it.

「Announcement – statement of the parties regarding support and combat, combat and support duels.」

I pasted the wall that Trey sunbaenim corrected under the news section of Countess Aduar.

“You idiots, only people think they have heads.”

I had nothing to do, so I went back to the dormitory and packed all the equipment including the bow. It was Kite’s day off, so I was able to train on my own. When I went to the student council, Rita-senpai was hanging out.

“Do you work today?”

“The student council has no holidays.”

“Are you still doing this?”

“Since there is a scholarship, I have to do it unconditionally.”

I heard that they don’t even pay half of the tuition.

“Can you apply if you are in the second year?”

“No, I have no idea.”

“I know, would you like the key?”

I almost gave a fist bump without realizing it. Rita-senpai is still a bit awkward, but she’s a competent and sensible person, so it’s comfortable. I arrived at the gym, which still smelled musty, and assembled the single-tree bow. After running for about 15 laps in a row, my shoulders felt hot. Just like this, we can fire twenty rounds five times.

“All but two hits.”

Even that was a rough shot, so now it’s time to stop short-range shooting. The long distance was 70m, so the target had to be placed very far back. At this distance, a short bow could be enough for spectators. I warmed up my upper body again with the intention of firing only 50 shots. After about two hundred push-ups of hers, the fever rose. She made sure no one was there and took off her top.

Pushyuk.

It’s a light hit. I think we can fire ten rounds at a time, so let’s keep going.

─Does it feel strange?

I didn’t pretend to be there, but I could feel something like staring at me. There was no way this intuition could be wrong, so after tying the arrow, he turned the bow toward the door. No words. He continued to ask.

“Chan Gallery?”

Then ahahahaha, along with the familiar sound of laughter.

“No, it seems to be interfering.”

Your face is red. Unlike usual, he had a very flustered expression on his face, so he shot an arrow into the air.

“Why are you here?”

“I just took a walk and looked around for a while.”

I kept hesitating, so I suddenly realized that I had my top off.

“Oh, sorry.”

“No, no, it’s okay. Really!”

Sweat was pouring down my face, so I took out a towel and wiped myself first. As I stood with my back turned so that I could not see, I heard the sound of shoes. Rita-senpai, who came close to me, called me by my name in a friendly way.

“Be yourself.”

“I’ll get dressed now.”

“Good?”

I hadn’t heard of it before, so I stopped her hand after wiping the nape of her neck.

“If you roll with Reddit for a long time, everyone becomes like this.”

“It looks like a statue made of caramel.”

It was an interesting review. Looking back, Kite was the only woman who saw my naked body. What did she say about Kite?

—Ah, I cried. Asked why she had so many scars, she stung and didn’t show them.

“Can I touch you?”

I turned around in surprise. Rita-senpai gasped, took her breath, and stepped back. She was blushing, and she looked a little frightened. As she watched, she asked with her hands folded on her stomach.

“Only the back.”

“I am sweaty and sticky.”

“I’ll just poke her with my finger.”

It’s strange to ask such a favor, and I refuse because I’m a bit reluctant to let someone touch my body.

“Did you help me practice here?”

“Yes.”

“Didn’t you raise money during the duel and induce the battle side to bet?”

“Yes, I did.”

“I don’t think I bought you a nice dinner yet. Are you sure I’m right?”

She nods and turns around. Kuuk, the fingernails covered in light purple nail polish pricked my back. His hand gestures, which started timidly, became more and more bold, to the point of petting them.

“Is that enough?”

“Ah, yes. Okay.”

I put on my sweatshirt without even wiping my sweat. It’s a pullover style, so it’s worn from the neck down, but all Heoden’s active clothes are like this. All of them have no buttons, so it’s a bit inconvenient to put them on and take them off.

“Isn’t it hot?”

“It’s hot.”

“Then, can you roll up your sleeves here?”

I reach out and pull up the hem covering my wrist. The hand gestures of rolling up a handful and a handful were strange, so I turned my head without realizing it and stopped him saying that it was enough to stop.

“On the other side?”

“I will.”

As soon as he rolled up to his elbows, his pupils widened.

“I have to shoot 30 more shots before I go.”

“You need someone to pick up your arrows?”

“No, there is no need to do that.”

“I’m done with the student council, too. I’m a bit bored because I don’t have anything to do.”

He slightly folds his eyes and gives a seductive smile. She moaned and just pointed an arrow. All you have to do is repeat it three times anyway. No matter how strong my arms are, 150 shots a day is enough practice. The ideal was excessive greed.

“Then, when this is over, let’s go out together.”

“Let’s do it.”

As I concentrated and aimed at the target, Rita-senpai stared at me, unable to take her eyes off me. It was such a blatant gaze that she forced herself to twist her foot slightly to switch targets. As soon as her slant hit ten shots, the senpai spoke to her again.

“Have you been doing this since you were little?”

“Yes, I’ve been holding a bow since I was seven.”

“Does Chan Gallery come here sometimes?”

I put the skin on the herringbone again.

“Sir, I’m really sorry. If someone talks to you when you shoot that bow, you lose concentration, right?”

“I also feel bad when someone stops me from speaking, but what should I do?”

I put down the bow.

“Chan Gallery doesn’t come here.”

“Do you take off your clothes when practicing with your friends?”

“No, then Kite will shoot me.”

“Okay then.”

Let’s grab the bow again, and the tree frog asks again. Let’s frown slightly.

“Are you angry?”

“No.”

“Is it okay to be angry if you’re annoyed?”
