CH 170
–In the end, the truth is in the dark, and we stand there. Ryuuze stabs his large sword into the ground and kicks the ground.
“Damn ……!”
“Hah!? He wasn’t breathing ……!”
“There, there, that was scary, right, Patty.”
Patty, who had been looking pale for a long time, finally spoke up and Jack patted her head. She’s also an A-Class student, but she’s not very good at fighting because her skill is [Cooking], which is the same as Nina’s [Sewing] household skill.
However, the food was very tasty and comforting. She said she wanted to work in a restaurant or school cafeteria in the future.
In the meantime, me and the headmaster searched the area, but the suspicious people really disappeared like smoke in this short time, and we couldn’t trace any sign of them, so we had no choice but to go back to the others.
I just came across Luciel waking up Luciela. She woke up once before, but she immediately shut her eyes, so it might be a very strong powder.
“Sis! Sis!”
“Uh ……”
She responded to Luciel’s call, but didn’t wake up. I put my hand on Luciel’s desperate shoulder and told her as if to persuade her.
“I know you’re worried, but let’s go back now, Luciel. It seems that the teachers are out searching for you, so we have to tell them that you are safe.”
“Yes ……”
“I know how you feel, but I think you should go home and rest.”
Luciel nodded weakly as she looked at Luciela lying at Sarge’s feet. It must be painful for her to think that her sister had fainted in her place. If my brother were in the same situation, I’d probably be panicking too.
Just then, we heard footsteps rustling, and we prepared ourselves. Is it the owner of the voice from earlier ……?
But all that tension dissipates when I hear a familiar voice.
“Oh, I found you, Lars-kun! I saw a huge light coming from the forest, so I came here, and I guess I was right! I even saw Sarge when I got closer! Ha-ha-ha!”
“You’re …… Reiss, aren’t you!? What are you doing here!”
“The teachers and vigilante group were coming out of town, so I also excitedly came out!”
There was Reiss, who hadn’t grown a bit since two years ago, with her hands on her hips, smiling broadly as she explained. As I wondered if she had come alone, Samwell-sensei and Rosalia-sensei came up behind him and poked him in the head.
“Hey, Reiss, don’t go on your own!”
“Well, come on, look, there they are.”
“Good grief …… You suddenly call out to me from behind and then proceeds on your own …… Oh, there’s Luciel-chan, too. Is everyone okay? You’re here, headmaster.”
“So it’s you guys, I have a lot to tell you, but as you can see, we found Luciel-kun. I want you to go back with me and tell the search party that we found her.”
“I understand. Reiss, you go back with the others on the dragon.”
“Kuku, it took a lot of work to get here, so I’d like to.”
When the headmaster said that, the teachers nodded and said that Reiss would come with us quietly. Then Basleigh-sensei asked me, stretching.
“Then let’s go home! Lars-kun, what’s on the menu today?”
“What? Well, hamburgers, tomato salad and…”
“Hamburger! Fuhihi I haven’t had dinner yet, you know! I’d like to have dinner at Lars-kun’s house, is that okay!?”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
When I said that, Basleigh-sensei’s eyes lit up and she walked lightly to Sarge’s side …… but that didn’t happen.
“H-Huh? I wonder why aren’t my feet on the ground ……”
“It’s because I’m holding you. You’re a teacher too, so you’re coming with us.”
“Nooooo! I’ve worked so hard, and I still have to work so hard!”
“Shut up, let’s just go. Oh, but the kids can’t go back alone, huh. Rosalia, will you go back with Lars and the others?”
“Yes.”
“Whyyyyyyy!? My Josephine.”
“Lars, I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“Oh, yes.”
What’s a Josephine? A hamburger ……?
Ryuuze and the others, who were probably thinking the same thing as I was, were getting into Sarge’s basket with complicated expressions on their faces.
“Please, Sarge”
Below us, Tigre-sensei and the other teachers were looking up at us to see us off. After waving hello, Sarge slowly made his way to the town of Gust.
A little further on, Reiss sees Makina and Luciela and opens her mouth.
“What is it? What’s wrong with your Sister Luciela? Makina’s also pale.”
“The thing is–“
I explained what had happened, and Reiss crossed her arms and shut her eyes, and after a while she reached into the sleeve of her lab coat and took out a vial.
“Do you remember it? This is the medicine I used on Makina a long time ago. It’s a slightly altered formulation, but it shouldn’t have any side effects. Let’s give it to her.”
“It’s a stimulant, right?”
Jack interjected, and Reiss nodded. Last time, Makina turned white, but there was nothing wrong with her. This time, I decided to have them both take it if there were no more side effects.
Then–
“N-Nnn …… this is …… it’s like Lars was here for a moment ……”
“Sis!”
“Woah! Luciel? …… Luciel! Thank God you’re okay!”
“Yeah, yeah …… It’s thanks to Sis ……! I was afraid that you won’t be coming back …… Sniff ……”
The sisters cried and hugged each other, and I was relieved to know that this had been resolved for the time being …… I can’t deny that there is a possibility that they will come after Luciel again, so I have to be careful.
“Uhhhh …… T-That hurts ……”
“Makina, how are you feeling?”
“Thanks to Lars-kun, my wound is fine. But I’m a little tired, ahaha.”
“I’m sorry, I should have made my decision earlier ……”
When I bowed, Makina shook her head and laughed.
“No, no. I also think that I would not want to kill him if I could, so it’s not just your fault, Lars-kun. I just wish I was stronger, you know?”
“No, it’s because I’m ……”
“Muuu!”
” “Uwah!?” “
Suddenly, Kuderica stepped in between us, puffed out her cheeks and separated me and Makina.
“W-What’s wrong, Kudelica.”
“It’s nothing.”
“Hahaha, you’ve missed the point, Kudelica?”
“Muuu …… I hope Ryuuze happiness with Naru-chan!”
“Why does Naru’s name come up here!?”
Ryuuze said that with his face bright red, and I and Makina didn’t understand the reason for the sulking Kudelica, so I decided to look at her face.
“Ha-ha-ha, the female mind is a difficult thing to understand! Now, Lars-kun, when are you going to go out with me??”
“…… I don’t know about a lot of things, but I can tell that I will not go out with Reiss, though?”
“That’s harsh, Lars-kun! Ha-ha-ha!”
I don’t know what’s so funny, but Reiss crosses her arms and smiles broadly. I sat down with my back against the basket, somewhat tired.
In front of me, Luciel is crying and laughing, Luciela is patting Luciel’s head in embarrassment, and Makina, Jack, and Ryuuze are talking to her. Watching them, I let my cheeks relax.
–This time, we were safe. But there’s no guarantee that it will work next time. And the person who seems to have given the potion that turns humans into monsters has fled.
“…… I have to become stronger.”
Swordplay, magic …… and my spirit.
I made up my mind to train again like I did when I took back the lord’s position.
It was a bit of a quiet story, but I was able to write some of what I wanted to say. Next time, will it be the epilogue of this chapter?
Thanks again for reading!

“……”
What’s up?
“Hmm, this is bothering me.”
There are times you’ll feel like that sometimes!
(T/N: Hmmm … I feel like I know one of hooded men now, but I can’t say it since I’m only a translator. I can’t have the readers hate me by spoiling the story, after all.)
“Damn ……!”
“Hah!? He wasn’t breathing ……!”
