chapter 27
Outing (1)
“Shall we go out soon?”
After estimating the time, I inadvertently brought up such a remark, and I looked around in surprise, afraid that the article outside might be listening.
Fortunately, I didn’t seem to hear anything.
Relieved, I approached the window and stared at the academy site nearby.
It’s been a week since I managed to endure the class time that I couldn’t get used to.
As today is the weekend, the inside of the academy was very quiet.
I subconsciously concluded that the academy would be cut off from the outside world, but unexpectedly, with prior permission, going out during the weekend was easily permitted.
I found out about this when the princess came to pick up Celia this morning.
That doesn’t mean I’m going to get permission from now on.
* * *
The fact that there is no class today made me want to lie in bed until lunchtime, but my body, which has already become accustomed to waking up early in the morning, woke up at the same time as usual.
Still, I woke up as slow as I could, washed and groomed, but it didn’t make much of a difference.
I wanted to sleep in, but I can’t lie down because I’m anxious that someone might come.
A life where you can’t even sleep in at will. It’s hard.
Just as I was thinking about that, someone knocked on the door.
Does anyone really visit me this early in the morning?
“Come on in.”
“Did you sleep well last night Saint Ronan?”
“Good morning Ronan!”
The person who opened the door and came in was the princess and Celia, a combination that I couldn’t guess how they got together.
“Azalea-sama, why did you come here?”
“What are you talking about, Mr. Ronan! Today is the day to look around the city.”
It wasn’t the princess who answered my question, it was Celia who was excited.
“city?”
I’m new to gold.
As I tilted my head, Celia looked back at me and the princess, as if she sensed something strange.
“Aren’t we supposed to look around the city today…?”
Celia, who had lost her self-confidence, spoke in a sinking voice as if asking for help from the princess.
“It’s true that the apprentices are supposed to tour the outside of the academy today.”
outside the academy?
“Can I leave the academy?”
Isn’t it a national rule that once you enter the academy, you can’t go out except for special schedules until you graduate?
Wait… if you think about it, it’s just that most of the academy’s stories revolve around events that happen within the academy, and it’s not explicitly stated that you can’t leave the academy.
omg.
You can go outside to play during the semester? Come to think of it, it’s rather natural.
I had a great realization.
“The academy is not a prison. There are only certain restrictions for the safety of students and smooth administrative management.”
The princess said that and looked at me with pitiful eyes.
Is this confirmation bias?
Hey, I didn’t misunderstand that because I was living confined in the headquarters of the church.
However, if you look at it closely, you’re right that you can’t get out of the main office anyway, so it’s not a completely wrong idea.
“So you must have come looking for Celia.”
I was excited for a moment, but the princess’ subtle nuances brought me back to my senses.
I said it was okay for apprentice cadets to go outside.
What am I here? I wasn’t blind enough to ask.
“Yes. I’m here to ask Saint Ronan’s permission.”
While my eyes met the princess’s, Celia slowly moved away from the princess and began to approach me, perhaps feeling some anxiety over the words exchanged between the two of us.
“Ronan-nim. Aren’t we going outside today?”
I stared at Celia for a while, neatly dressed in holy clothes and beautifully decorated from early in the morning.
When I asked her to take another class with me, Celia looked like she was about to die, but within a week, she became very bright.
Celia was adapting best among the apprentices, perhaps because her blind faith in the church had diminished while she was by my side.
Today, for the first time in my life, I seemed to be full of anticipation rather than fear at the thought of looking outside.
“It’s right to go outside. Go out and see a lot of interesting and novel things.”
I stroked Celia’s hair very carefully so as not to disturb it.
“What about Ronan?”
“hmm…”
Instead of answering, I looked at the princess.
“Miss Celia. Saint Ronan can’t go outside today.”
“yes?”
Celia, her eyes wide open as if she was talking about something, looked at the princess.
“We’ve determined that Ronan Saint isn’t safe enough to go outside. It’s going to take some time for Ronan Saint to go outside.”
Celia, who did not understand the princess’s words for a moment, stood in a daze, then slowly began to make an angry expression.
“Why are you doing this to Ronan-sama again!”
It was a loud voice that Celia had never heard before, so even I, who was next to me, was taken aback.
“It’s the same here after all. Like in the church, only Ronan-nim is always…eup.eup!”
Embarrassed, I hurriedly covered Celia’s mouth.
Thank you for thinking of me, but what if you say it out loud!
“It’s okay, Saint Ronan. I don’t want anyone else to hear about it. Everyone seems to be busy trying to seduce the nobleman somehow.”
No, I know very well that those nobles aren’t here. Perhaps it’s because of their own interests, but they don’t like this place very much, because they come here more rarely.
I was like that because of the princess. Fortunately, the princess didn’t seem particularly concerned.
“Ronan-nim. I just won’t go. I’m sorry for saying unnecessary things.”
Celia said as she grabbed my collar with a teary face.
How could I tell you not to go if you said that after expecting so much?
I looked at Celia’s face for a moment before turning my gaze back to the princess.
First of all, you should definitely do this.
“It’s not really dangerous, right? Then sending out the apprentices is also a problem.”
If it was really dangerous, neither the apprentices nor the former students would be able to go out.
Of course, since my position is a little unusual, the excuse that I care more about safety is not absurd, but it is also true that there are weak points to be satisfied with that reason alone.
“That…the saint is right. I’m sorry for trying to obscure the point.”
The princess struggled for a moment, then sighed and came closer to me, bending down to meet Celia’s gaze with me.
“To erase the apprentice cadets’ enmity towards the imperial family. To publicize the legitimacy of this step chosen by the imperial family. In addition, it is a complex outing considering various circumstances. It is also a consideration.”
After catching her breath, the princess continued by adding a story about me.
“However, saints are different. Most citizens in the empire still do not know the name of the saint, let alone even exist. It will be after the side has decided on a clear line. It’s a very clichéd story.”
Even as the princess said that, she turned her head away as if she was embarrassed.
There must be huge interests that are hard to imagine for me. I’m not really curious.
In any case, there’s no danger in the outer city.
“Celia. I was expecting it. Wouldn’t it be nice to go home?”
“I’m Ronan’s servant. The seat next to Ronan is my seat.”
Celia’s voice and will were more stubborn than I thought.
That mindset is admirable, but it is also beneficial to me in many ways for you to come back.
How do I convince you of this?
“Celia. How about doing this?”
Celia’s suspicious eyes met mine.
“Instead of me, you bring the scenery outside as much as possible. Anything is fine. People’s eyes looking at you. A plaza where everyone is busily coming and going somewhere. Flowers blooming between the stone floors. Let’s talk about what you’ve seen and seen today in the evening. Just thinking about it Aren’t you happy?”
Actually, what I’m most curious about is the mindset, beliefs, and values of ordinary people, but that’s probably too far.
After hearing my words, Celia began to think with confused eyes as if she didn’t know what to do.
In fact, the answer was already decided because he always gave me sincere trust to the point where I sometimes wondered.
I put a confirmation kill in there.
“I’d be very happy if you came back and told me that. Wouldn’t it be okay? I won’t force you.”
“Ronan-nim is always like that… He doesn’t let me go to class with him. He tells me to go out alone and come back.”
As a result, I heard it.
“You can’t deny it when you say that.”
After making up her mind, Celia stepped away from me and approached the princess with a stunned appearance.
“I’ll do my best to remember everything I see!”
That’s a very good attitude.
“As soon as possible, I will make sure that the saint can roam around the outside.”
This is also a very good attitude.
“I’ll place the knights, so if you need anything, just tell me.”
Wait, that’s not a good attitude. One more useless obstacle.
“You don’t have to do that.”
“Please don’t refrain. You can think of it as a sign of my apologies.”
hahahaha…well, I handle it moderately well.
“Okay. Have a good trip.”
When you come, Merona.
That’s how I saw the two people with faces of both sorry and thankfulness coexist.
* * *
and present.
I was wasting my time trying to figure out the tendencies of the knights because the princess insisted on taking Celia while arranging one of the knights.
The knight outside the door never interfered in my room except when he arrived right after the princess and Celia had left and brought breakfast, just standing outside the door.
Do you have a shift? Or are you going to stand like that all day?
How the hell do they deal with the bathroom? Do the knights who have superhuman physical abilities become superhuman even with their bladders?
After brushing off my useless questions, I made my decision while looking at the plate I had finished eating.
“hey.”
Having made my decision, I opened the door with the plate I had eaten and handed it over to the driver.
“Do you need anything?”
“No. Thanks for bringing me the meal.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
“Would it bother me if I said I wanted to look around the inside of the academy?”
The knight was troubled for a moment.
“It’s not impossible, but I wouldn’t recommend it. If you need anything, I’ll procure it.”
It meant that he would not let me go out if possible. As expected.
“No. I was just wondering. I’d like to pray undisturbed for a day in my room. Is that possible?”
I changed the question and asked like that.
“It’s fine whatever the apprentice saint does in the room.”
“I mean all the outside distractions. I don’t even need lunch. Can you help me focus?”
“that…”
The knight hesitated to answer, perhaps because he felt reluctant about my words. Maybe it was because he was a knight.
“I haven’t had time to focus on prayer lately. Can’t I?”
I urged one more time without giving him time to think.
“I will try my best.”
“thank you.”
Still, the knight nodded his head as if he had come to his own conclusion, as if he had come to his own conclusion as if he was a probationary saint.
Wasn’t it the result of my own complex concerns that I was a child, that this place was on a fairly high floor, and that I could notice if something happened in the room?
After putting out the tray, I returned to the room and slowly prepared myself.
I don’t think it will help much, but in case someone enters the room, I put a pillow under the blanket and pretend there is a person, and I approached the window.
After thinking about my situation after reincarnating, the conclusion I came to is simple.
If I do not want my life to be threatened, I must establish my position. And to establish my position, I must imprint myself on people.
All the sh*t I’ve done so far had that premise.
However, even if he tried to appeal at the main office or inside the academy, the ripple effect would inevitably be limited.
After all, the main office or academy has a subject that can control it, such as the church or the imperial family.
Speaking of a position that can be established in a place like this, it is in the shadow of the church or the imperial family.
There was a chance that my position as a member of the religious order and as a trustee of the imperial family, not my complete position, could not help me at the decisive moment.

Look at today right now. The princess was feeling sorry for me, but from the point of view of the imperial family, she still doesn’t have the belief that I’m on their side, so what she’s doing isn’t much different from the church.
As the different races were mixed, the possibility increased, but there were many unknowns about the different races, so it was difficult to make a hasty decision yet.
In the end, the place I had to target first was the humans, not the academy or church.
If I had started in a back alley or an ordinary church, I would have been able to rise to the top while gradually strengthening my position, but even thinking about it again, the spawn point was really bad.
Why do people who need to do tutorials and catch rabbits in the beginner village spawn in the front yard of the Demon King’s Tower?
So when I decided to go to the academy, I made up my mind.
Upon arriving at the academy, I decided to find a way to contact the outside world at all costs. I decided to establish a position where only ‘me’ was the main subject, without the middle passage of the church or academy.
Of course, I can’t go outside right now and declare that I am a saint and establish my position, but getting out of the academy and going out to the city on the weekend was something I had been planning for a long time.
There were worries about Celia who would stick by my side, if I went out of the academy because I was a young boy and could be noticed by others, and about my safety when I went out alone, but today most of those worries have been alleviated.
Students and apprentices going out every weekend?
The city will be overflowing with floating population belonging to the academy.
Since there are many aristocrats, the city infrastructure will be overflowing, and people will naturally flock to such places.
I won’t even suspect that I’m mixed in. According to the princess, it seems that at least some stability is guaranteed.
After organizing my thoughts, I began to use holy magic.
I opened the window slightly, but no sound came out.
No matter how you look at it, it was like a petty thief skill that was far from a sacred image, but after practicing it became something like this.
holy magic is the best
I opened the window and looked down at the floor for a moment.
high…
It seemed to be about 11m, which humans feel the greatest fear.
“you can do it.”
Because I’ve practiced it several times.
After taking a few deep breaths, I put my foot on the window. The next moment I threw myself into the air.
s*xual magic, Super Hero Landing!
To be honest, it was a little fun, maybe because it was my first break from coming to this world.
