CH 160
“Nicha! Sayu!”
“Whoa there …… I’m back, Aina.”
“What about me-“
“Noa!”
“Ehe~”
When we got home, Aina came charging out of the living room and clung tightly to my leg, so I gave her a hug and she rubbed her cheek with a big smile on her face.
Aina was in a great mood as she reached out to Sarge and brother and smiled at Nora.
“Welcome back, everyone. Thank you for your help, teacher.”
“Haha. Don’t worry about it, it was fun for me too. Verna is waiting for me, so I’m going home! See you tomorrow! Don’t be late!”
“Yes, thank you, teacher!”
“Thank you!”
“Bye bye!”
“See you later”, he said, raising one hand as he walked away, and Luciela stretched and smiled at him.
“Hmm, I’d love to play with Aina-chan, but it’s getting late so I should go home too.”
“It’s dark, so why don’t you stay the night? Nora will do the same.”
Brother suggests, and Dad nods, but Luciela shakes her head slowly and tells us
“No, thanks. I couldn’t prepare to go to the academy yet and I want to see my mom and dad.”
“Okay. I’ll take you home then.”
“Are you sure?”
My brother smiled and nodded. But remembering what had happened recently, I called out to him.
“I’ll take you home. We can’t be sure that there won’t be strange people like last time. It’ll be safer if we fly home.”
“I see …… So, can I ask Lars to do it?”
“Ehhhhh, so Lars will do it …… just kidding! Please?”
Luciela stuck out her tongue and laughed, and I chuckled too.
So I decided to leave Aina to Brother and send her on her way at night.
“La-nicha ……”
“He’ll be back soon. Do you want to play with us?”
I heard such a conversation as the door closed, and I left the house, hoping that it would somehow pacify her. We walked through the dark night streets together, though there was moonlight.
Luciela is usually so noisy, but now she’s walking next to me fidgeting, so I call out to her to ask what’s wrong.
“What’s wrong? You seem to be getting restless.”
“Hue!? N-No, it’s nothing!?”
“Really? Are you afraid of the streets at night?”
“……”
When I said that, Luciela grabbed the sleeve of my clothes and mumbled to herself.
“My mom has been telling me a lot lately to watch out for guys who take me into the dark at night and …… do nasty things to me. Nowadays, there are more and more customers from outside, right?”
When I heard that, I understood. Luciela is already one step ahead of her sixteenth birthday, so there must be men who look at her that way. In particular, Luciela, who helps merchants, often remembers her face.
“You’re right. I’m surprised that you tried to go home alone, though.”
“But, after forcing you to allow me to follow you, isn’t it kind of wrong to ask you to take me home too?”
“Then you could have gone home with Tigre-sensei ……”
“Oh, that’s true too!”
She puts her hand over her mouth and her shoulders lowers, saying that she didn’t notice. By the way, when she came here, she used [Amplification] and ran as fast as she could. Luciela talks, maybe because she’s a little relieved by giving a light talk.
“But I’m glad I forced you to allow me to follow you …… You know, I’ve always been jealous of Luciel. After she was born, my parents couldn’t take care of me anymore because of the store and Luciel. But Luciel was always with mother because she was so small …… There were times when I hated her.”
“……”
Luciela talks about her old self.
I’m sure she don’t know this, but I’m sure she’s in a similar situation as I was. She didn’t seem to be particularly bothered by my silence and continued to talk.
“But you know, Luciel became attached to me. She called me “Big sister, big sister”. That’s why I decided that I would protect her. When I met you again, I was in a panic, wondering what I should do, you know?”
“At the entrance ceremony. That was a surprise. You ate lunch without permission.”
“Oh, that was …… I know it’s too late now, but I’m sorry …… I thought it would be better if I did something weird to make it easier for Luciel to talk, then I suddenly …… and I’m really sorry for being taken hostage!”
Luciela said, apologizing for what happened three years ago. I’m not really mad at her for what she did.
“If you apologize, that’s fine. I’m not angry, but I’ll take it as a reckoning.”
I told her.
Then Luciela looked like she was about to cry for a moment, turned her head and said a small thank you.
It was only three years, but it was still three years.
At that time, Luciela was still a child, and even though she knew it was wrong in her head, she did it because she thought she had to do something for Luciel.
I was honestly impressed by Luciela for apologizing and not holding a grudge against her parents and Luciel, even after three years.
“Ah, we’re already at home now. We’ve come this far, so it’s gonna be okay! …… I’ve told you something embarrassing, but thanks for listening!”
“Well, good night. See you later.”
Luciela waved and laughed as she headed towards the back of the house where the front door was. I took the levitation and flew back to the house.
“I hope Luciela will be in a good direction after talking with Arjan-san.”
Feeling somewhat better, I returned home with a light heart, played with Aina with Sarge in tow, and went to bed that night.
And the next day–
“So, let’s all go together on our next vacation.”
“Arjan-san is a very nice person!”
Nora and I talked about our vacation and suggested that we head to Arjan-san’s house with the money. They were listening to the story with shining eyes, but soon their expressions became clouded and they said.
“Whoa …… Half price …… But even so, it’s going to cost close to 100,000 …… and that’s not even close to enough ……”
“Me too ……”
“Yeah, me too.”
“I envy you guys ……”
It seems that the amount of money saved is not that much.
Well, we’ve been taking requests for about two years now, but I guess I can’t blame them since it’s basically a split and they’ve only recently been able to take high-value requests.
“I’ll take care of the rest then. Just make a note of it and return the rest to me little by little.”
“I-I wonder if can return it ……”
“Ahaha, maybe someday when you become successful in life. I have it from my dealings with Leor-san, after all. And I want you to be well-equipped, because it would be hard if everyone gets hurt.”
“Yeah ……? Yeah, okay! I’ll take your word for it! I’ll take your word for it! And, I’ll earn some money with that sword and pay you right back!”
“I’ll try to increase helping at home.”
Ryuuze slaps his knee and tells me, and Luciel takes my hand in return. When I thought that Ryuuze was as disciplined as ever, Urka, Yogus, and Kudelica also raised their hands and agreed to do their best.
I don’t mind if they make it for free, but free is not good for education. They may rely on it. In addition, I think the fact that I paid for it myself gives me a stronger sense that it belongs to me, and I will take good care of it.
“Uhhh …… dragon ……”
I told Patty, who was on the verge of tears, that I was going to ask Sarge for some, and the whole A-Class was happy that it was settled.
But before the break, something happened that was beyond that–
Finally, an encounter with the scums ……!
Thank you for reading!
[Afterword Theater]
The climax is near!
“I wonder who’s going to get hurt the worst!”
It’s not Basleigh-sensei ……?
“Whoa there …… I’m back, Aina.”
“What about me-“
“Noa!”
“Ehe~”
