Chapter 11
11 Ch 4. Make friends (2)
“Ehh.”
Alicia sighs heavily.
I passed the entrance exam, but Alicia knew best that the process was so indulgent.
She didn’t ask for it separately.
Obviously, the family would have demanded it.
It would have been unacceptable for the dyke family lineage to fail to enter the Academy.
“…… pathetic. ”
Thanks to them, he became a newcomer to Linguini Academy instead of being better than himself, but his self-esteem was much greater than he thought.
Especially the disgusting eyes of my cousin Jerome or the rival family, Damon Van Pandragan, were really hard to handle.
Cough.
But there was no Dory.
Unlike them, Alicia did not receive systematic training.
Marquis Dyke did not raise his only daughter, Alicia, as his successor, but thought of obtaining an heir through a concurrent marriage with Baron Evangeline, a southern skilled man.
Marriage to someone you don’t even know.
That too seems to be thoroughly intertwined.
So all Alicia could do to avoid a premarital marriage was be a student by preparing for the Linguini Academy in a short time.
Then you can make at least three years, and if you can meet someone who can at least give you a heart in that time, you can avoid the premarital marriages that you sell.
So I prepared for Buriaburia by myself, and fortunately, Marquis Dyke decided that Alicia would not be a bad person to be here.
Alicia is only 16 years old yet, and she is small enough to be counted in the Empire.
No matter how unprepared she was at all, Marquis Dyke would have had the confidence to make Alicia a knight.
Just like we did on the admissions test.
And then the honor of the Dyke family, who has expelled only a few here, will be elevated, and you will also have the advantage of chaos.
Thanks to this situation, I was able to attend Linguini Academy, but it was natural that it was a lousy level compared to others who had been preparing for a long time.
“Ha…. ”
That’s why I may be worried about the future.
Alicia, who came out of the street alone because of her disastrous heart, stares at Ecliptic Bolonez with a gloomy face.
Unlike Dyke Territory, ecstasy was spectacular and crowded enough for things to do, but my heart sank and I couldn’t enjoy anything.
Three years.
If you think about how you can survive three years of regular courses at Linguini Academy and how you will harm others in the process, you don’t get the answer.
“…… huh? ”
Then she found a familiar face on Baker Street 7.
He has more black hair than the black jacket he is wearing…….
“Loan Pilstein……. ”
Alicia, who has just recognized him, looks at him with a slightly flattered face.
In front of a pub called Chaplin,
“Goodbye, Hugo. ”
“Don’t worry, Master! We’ll be there today, and I was wondering if the answer would be quick. You gonna give me a lot of allowances? ”
He’s talking to a middle-aged bald muscular Hugo.
“Of course, it’s allowance. ”
“No wonder, Master! There’s already a rumor! Ron Pilstein beat up Capelini de Linguini and Damon Van Pandragan in one day! You don’t have to write it down, but the delivery guy’s a god and he’s gonna buzz! ”
Hugo with his fist on fire!
Alicia, who stepped up to him without even knowing it, looked at him with a very jealous face.
Alicia knows that he is from the Assassin family.
But Capelini and Damon are powerful enough to overwhelm him.
Unlike the one who barely accepted Vistel Master Lane for his convenience, he was the one who decided to go to school with only one skill.
And even Damos, who defeated Jerome, must have been the best at the Ringhuni Academy.
‘…… maybe. ’
Maybe he can help himself?
I think Alicia stares at Roman with a really serious face, hiding herself.
“See you later, Hugo. ”
“Why don’t you go straight back and look at the eighth street? ”
“It’s the time of the Orléans. I’m going to buy a mask to wear with Parviti. ”
The Orient Festival is the iconic festival of the Ecliptic Bolognese in honour of the day that Saint Orient defeated the Black Demons.
When the priests of the Temple of Pomorro proceeded, the citizens wore devil masks and opened the way to the celebration of the majesty of the saints, so each house had a mask in advance.
“Ah, I see. It was a festival soon. I was out of my mind. It’s good to be young, Master! ”
“Well, I don’t really care, but Parvity will expect it. ”
“This, this! Perhaps a new saint was born that day! ”
In addition, it was a day when many couples and lovers shared their love in the sense that the country was energized by Saint Orleans.
Ron shrugs at Hugo’s evil jokes.
“I don’t intend to live up to Parvity’s hatred. ”
“Well, if you do it the right way, you won’t hate it! Rather, you will be loved!”
Loan shakes his head and turns around with excitement as he laughs.
“Anyway, I’ll go now, Hugo. It shouldn’t be too late. Then I’ll see you later. ”
“Yes, Master! Mood is important! Mood! ”
“It’s a book, Hugo! ”
Loan walks eight streets laughing at Hugo’s words.
“ ……. ”
Alicia, who had been keeping an eye on Loan from a certain moment on, began to follow him.
I know what they’re talking about.
“… it’s cute to be ashamed. ”
Alicia also smiled lightly.
I thought he was someone else because he was so skilled, but I just saw him talking to a man named Hugo, and he seemed like a very ordinary person.
No, I think it’s a good side.
If Alicia’s memory is correct, a woman named Parviti must be Loan’s servant.
Slaves of immigrant origin whose skin colour is different.
Nevertheless, you seem to take good care of Parvity, and your tone is quite sweet, don’t you think?
“…… he’s better than listening. ”
In fact, the Philstein family is so notorious that it was Alicia who imagined a monster crazy for murder and blood when she first heard of it.
After discovering much more remarkable thanks to it, she followed with curiosity about Loan.
Soon after seven streets, she reached eight streets that became increasingly slumped, and the people of the streets changed their appearance noticeably, so that Alicia in her fancy outfit became a toxic figure, but until then she had no great awareness.
When Loan stopped walking in front of the stall selling the crude demon mask, he stopped walking and tried to steal him.
Ugh.
“Ah?”
And when he saw that Loan was stealing the mask naturally, Alicia’s eyes widened.
“…… why? ”
It’s a normal family, but the Philstein family is not so poor.
No, it would be right to say that they are much richer than clumsy nobles.
But why would he steal such a crude mask?
It was that moment.
“Ah?”
After a brief blink of an eye, Loan disappeared.
“Uh, where did you go? ”
Alicia was greatly embarrassed.
That was the blink of an eye.
“Huh?”
At that moment, the heaviness of the waist dance diminished.
No, it would be right to say it’s gone.
The longsword I was wearing suddenly disappeared and I felt empty.
Hot rocks.
“If you do that with a frozen face, it’s a big deal. ”
At that instant, Lauan, who showed up again, grabbed Alicia’s sword and grabbed the boy’s wrist as he fled.
“Ah!”
She stares at Loan with her eyes wide open, greatly embarrassed by the fact.
What the hell did he come next to, and what does that boy mean?
“Hey, let go of me! ”
The embarrassed boy raised his voice,
“Do you know whose sword it was stolen? It’s Marquis Dyke’s sword. It’s not just a rich lady’s sword. You know what happens when you get caught? ”
Loan only responded with surprise.
“Everything, Marquis Dyke? ”
At the end of the day, the boy releases his sword, which he is greatly astonished at.
“You can’t shed a good sword. ”
And let’s hold on to Alicia’s sword instead of the hand that Roan grabbed on her falling wrist.
Ta-daak!
The pickpocket boy leaves his place.
“Come on, let’s get him! I’m not doing anything! ”
Alicia, who later became aware of the situation, raised her voice.
Or not.
“That’s the wrong person here. ”
Roan gave Alicia the sword to see if she didn’t intend to catch the boy before she grabbed it.
“…… what that means. ”
“After seven streets, it’s the land of criminals. where anyone would be forced to suffer if they were distracted. ”
At that, Alicia looks back at Roman with her sword.
“What are you following me for? ”
I don’t think he knew he was being followed.
I thought I was sneaking up on you.
Fire strings!
Alicia had a reddish face so that she felt ashamed and hot.
“Is that why you stole the mask, too?! ”
She raised her voice despite having to ask for help.
“You saw something you shouldn’t have. ”
Then Loan grabbed Alicia’s wrist with a fluffy smile.
“Hey, you! ”
Once again, when Alicia tried to raise her voice,
Hot rocks.
“Town!”
With your big hands, block Alicia’s mouth and move quickly to the alleyway in between!
‘Well, what! ’
Alicia is greatly embarrassed by the continuation of the unexpected situation.
“Urgh!”
I shuddered to get away from him, but he was too small and light for Roan, so I was dragged to the end of a stalled alleyway.
“Now.”
A dark, dirty place you can’t even find human beings.
“Stay here. ”
Ron, who brought Alicia there in an instant, let’s get Alicia down.
‘What are you trying to do to me! ’
She stares at Loan with a frightened face.
After seven streets, it’s called the land of criminals, so maybe you’re trying to do something bad?
Or if you lose your virginity to him!
When I listened to Hugo’s conversation, I felt betrayed as much as I thought he was sweet, and Alicia was even more frightened.
Grab it!
I pulled out the sword.
“I don’t think anyone’s gonna get hurt like that! ”
Then Loan looks at Alicia with a slightly embarrassed face.
“Is that what you did? ”
And Loan, who takes out the mask I just stole.
“Ah, ah! ”
Are you trying to kill yourself with that mask on your face?
You killed a man because you saw something stolen in that mask!
Isn’t that too much?
Alicia stares at Roman with her ridiculous and unfair eyes.
Less.
Although he was holding the sword, he could not defeat Capelini or Roman, who had ridiculously subdued Damos.
“Ugh… Ugh… ”
As she lifted up her sword in her blurred tears,
“Argh……. ”
Loan bursts into laughter.
“Me, don’t laugh at me! It won’t be easy! ”
I came here to avoid a premarital marriage, but I can’t be killed like this.
When Alicia screamed so much,
“I think it helps to stay still. ”
Within a few minutes, Loan turned around.
“Huh?”
Why are you showing your back to yourself with a sword?
Am I that stupid?
Alicia wondered.
“Huh, I did something useless. ”
Three men with swords in their alleyways revealed themselves.
“Did you think we’d avoid being lured here? ”
Loan shakes his head in their lively voice and throws a mask at them.
“Why don’t you write that? That’s better than the bare face on the body of the article. ”
“What?”
The knight of the Linguini family made a ridiculous look on his face.
It’s true that I came here to retaliate against Roan at the request of Capelini.
It would be dishonorable in itself, but…
Quajic!
Didn’t you hear that from the assassin from Thousand Minds?
They bite their mouths tightly, trampling on the mask Loan threw at them.
“I was going to give you an arm, but I can’t! ”
In the face of three people who were just getting in position,
“…… what the hell. ”
Alicia still seems to have a dark face.
“If they know it’s a knight, it might be a problem to hit them, but it doesn’t matter if it isn’t. ”
The mask that Loan stole was not one.
All three masks are stacked.
I think he stole the mask because of it.
“Ha, but there’s no sword! ”
Anyway, when Alicia, who was swept away by Bourne’s situation, made a panic call,
“It doesn’t matter. ”
Loan smiles and looks back at her.
“What?”
You don’t mind if I don’t?
While Alicia is still embarrassed,
“I’ll kill you! ”
The knights sent by Capelini swung their swords at Roman.
Puebuck!
A Loan who punched his opponent in the face faster than a sword!
“Argh!”
The twinkling circle, the legs of the knight struck down at the same time,
Cuckoo!
A third punch, faster and stronger than the previous two, knocks down the first article with a broken jaw.
“You son of a bitch! ”
The knight next to him swung his sword toward Roan.
Huung!
To Loan, who fled the sword with his body bent back.
“I won’t stand still! ”
Another knight also stabbed me in the sword.
Hot rocks!
Right at that moment, Loan grabbed the blade with his finger,
Whoops!
I quickly grabbed the sword.
“Ouch!”
The knight swung forward and tilted his body as the movement collapsed due to momentary force.
Kwachup!
At that moment, Loan’s knee smashes his rib rod.
“Ooooooooooo!”
And screaming scares me.
Puck!
Loan, who knocked his neck out with an elbow!
The second article also seemed to be unconscious.
“You bastard! ”
The last remaining knight is even more active and swung the sword.
Boong!
Touch it and it looks lethal!
“Dangerous!”
When Alicia, who was watching, screamed in a bloody mood,
“No.”
Loan grins and grabs the wrist of the last remaining knight in an instant.
Puck!
“Argh!”
And stabbed his thumb in the neck,
Excellent!
I snapped my sword-carrying arm.
“Shuaaaah!”
Grab the head of the screaming knight,
Puck!
After finishing by sticking it to the wall, he slowly moves his steps and scatters the shredded debris around.
It must have been destroyed during this uprising.
“…… Oh my God. ”
You defeated three knights with your bare hands!
How strong is Loan Pilstein?
“Then.”
When Alicia stares at him with a dazed face, she smiles and steps.
“Now, wait! ”
Then Alicia urgently called him.
“Wait a minute!”
Maybe you can really help me.
Maybe I can make you a real knight!
“I have something to say! ”
Alicia grabs Roan with desperation.
“What do you mean? ”
Even so, Alicia is the true heir to the Dyke family.
It is the love of a family with a high status and has a good appearance.
Her appearance will be a tremendous merit in an indispensable social gathering in a noble society.
In other words, it is best to acquire information only inside the noble society.
There was nothing bad about getting to know him.
And if Ron decides and tries to become a nobleman, the quickest way may be to seduce Alicia.
The Dyke family has been a military nobleman since before the Empire, and at least it was a nobleman.
Therefore, the path is clearly open if it is possible to establish achievements that meet their standards or to ascend to the position of Sword Master when Roan becomes Alicia’s mate.
You have already surpassed the Sword Master, so you don’t need to set up a specialty.
If only Roan could seduce Alicia.
‘…… I think it would be easier to set up a major. ’
But that wasn’t even the part that Loan was so confident about, but there was something that left those conditions to Alicia that somehow aroused her protective instincts.
Do I have to say it’s like a kid on the water?
Loan stops walking and looks back because he seems so desperate that he can’t take it any easier.
“Do you have something to say? ”
Soon he asked again,
“…… Ah. ”
After Roman stopped, Alicia stumbled, who had no idea what to say.
Do I have to explain everything?
“Nothing?”
And he asked him again,
“… Chi, be a friend! ”
She shouted to me in a rush.
“Yes?”
Ronaldo never thought he’d hear this. It makes him look embarrassed.
If you think about Alicia’s age, it might be enough, but it seems like he’s been awkward enough to hear it for almost a hundred years.
Alicia’s face was bright and shiny on his face.
“Well, that’s it! I want you to make me strong! I can teach you how to be a friend! That’s why I asked you to be friends! ”
I can’t believe she’s asking the Marquis’ benefactor, the assassin!
No, I don’t even know what he’s talking about by leaving it.
It was the first time that I had told my heart to anyone other than my mother, and Alicia also had a cold sweat behind her back.
“Argh!”
In Alicia’s childish and clumsy appearance,
“Yes, my friend. If there’s anything I can do to help, I can help. ”
Loan nods with a heartfelt smile.
“Ah, ah! ”
If he refuses or gives you reassurance, the face of Alicia, who was worried about something, also brightens up.
“Me, really? I……. ”
Then, Alicia hesitates and doesn’t seem to believe it.
Because she’s a woman.
And an ill-equipped admitter.
It seems that his acceptance was hard to believe because he was Alicia, who was qualified and self-centered.
“Of course, you’re the protagonist of an undesirable situation. But I was trained to do it after I knew exactly what to do. What’s the occasion? ”
There were so many clumsy things to call him a bad boy.
He was from a hard-working militant family, and he had to ask for a favor. To be honest, it was understandable.
She nods with troubled eyes as she talks about how desperate she might be.
“Uh-huh! ”
It was the first time anyone had heard this story, and it was the first time anyone had not been so prejudiced.
I felt comforted for a moment because I had tried alone to get to Linguini Academy by avoiding a premarital marriage.
“Are you crying?”
“No! I’m not crying! ”
As Alicia shakes her head stealing the snowflake, Loan bursts into laughter again.
Like Damos, Alicia and I seem to have become acquainted in a completely unexpected direction.
But it seemed good.
“Even if I can help you, it’s your will that matters. Because it’s only you who make you strong. You should know that. ”
She might be in a situation similar to her being blocked by an identity barrier.
Alicia nods at the words of Loan.
“I know! I’m gonna work really hard! Really!”
Do you think I feel like I have a sister?
Loan reaches out with a fluffy smile.
“So you can talk comfortably? ”
Immediately, Alicia put the sword back into the sword, grabbed Roan’s hand, and nodded.
“Yes!”
Unlike energetically answering, I saw a little grasping a man’s hand and letting him go quickly, and it just seemed like a shameful child.
“Well, anyway, make me really strong! You’re strong enough, aren’t you? ”
In fact, Alicia was 16 years old, one year younger than Loan.
“Yeah, I’ll make it happen in a second. ”
“Me, really? ”
Loan nods with a smile as Alicia swells her eyes in anticipation.
“Then.”
And he shouted.
“Alicia Van Dyke has defeated the three masked freaks! ”
In the sight of Loan, who was screaming so loud and walking ahead,
“Now, wait! What’s that supposed to mean!”
Alicia followed him with a panicked face.
“Alicia Van Dyke has defeated the three masked freaks! ”
Loan raises his voice like a newspaper deliveryman.
“Van Dyke? Is that Van Dyke? ”
“I heard that Ringhuni also won the title! ”
“It’s Van Dyke, too! ”
When they hear Ron’s voice, Alicia looks at him with a dark face.
“I didn’t do it, why…. ”
Looking at Alicia, who was greatly embarrassed, Loan laughed.
“Now the three knights will have to be strong enough to beat him unconditionally. ”
