Chapter 73 (Visitors)

The Greatest Failure. 

Although the original purpose was being achieved, the person could not but regard it as a failure by some unexpected miscalculation. 

I don't know what the miscalculation is was... 

I myself at the start is some kind of 『Failure』. 

That's whyー It feels painful. 

"From the person who had created the orphanage in the country of the end, we were told that we're failures see... But I guess, that makes sense." 

Her expression turned sour. 

That word is the words that Lokia told me a while ago. 

"I have no place, where I belong." 

Kyurie-san express loneliness on her face. 

"You're not going to disappear, right?" 

If the business with Nois is over. 

Anxiety starts to swell from within my heart. 

When Kyurie-san is not around. 

Her stuff at the girl's dormitory is also gone. 

Just a small note being left behind. 

Kyurie-san does not answer. 

That's why I, 

"I will make it, is that won't do?" 

"A place where Kyurie-san consider where she belongs to." 

"If there's no place that you belongs to, then I should just make it... is that won't do?" 

If there's no such place, then I should just make it. 

"Such a thing, is it not okay?" 

The feeling where one's feel like a foreign being. 

Lonelinessー that's where the feeling of being out of place born from. 

In a sense, I feel that I'm a very lonely person myself. 

That is how I feel. 

"Ah right, come to think of it, You're not a person from this country huh..." 

"Kurohiko?" 

"Wrong? What is?" 

With a bitter smile on me. 

"Though I was told to kept this secret, to tell you the truth, I'm not a person coming from the eastern country." 

I said it... .................................................... 

"And also not from anywhere on this continent." 

"I came from a farther away place... a place that probably the people from this continent never have been to... as for the detailed story of it... it's a bit complicated, but..." 

"That's why... I as well, somehow understand your feeling being out of place, that's how I feel." 

*Fuuu*, Kyurie-san heaves a sigh from her mouth. 

"I knew it; you're a kind person..." 

There was a brief silence... 

"E-Emm, Kyurie-san." 

"People... I think they sometimes change..." 

I gulped my saliva before continue talking. 

"O-Of course, they won't change suddenly. But, if they try their best to change then someday they will change... that's what I thought... Therefore even if some people are convinced that they do not have a place they belong to, if they keep on trying, then I'm sure, even those people will find a place where they belongsー." 

Kyurie-san gazed at her own hands in deep thought. 

"People can change, eh?" 

I guess this is my limit huh? 

"Eh?" 

*Heartbeat* Toward the words that Kyurie-san said, I raised my head. 

"I won't stay silent..." 

"By all means, I will." 

I feel glad if she said so. 

Those words at the same time means, 

That she's going to leave the academy after her business is over. 

................................................. 

I look at the ceiling while lying in bed. 

"What did I do wrong, I wonder?" 

I muttered to myself. 

Kyurie-san had already returned to her dormitory. 

Or rather... 

And I also noticed that the bath towel that neatly being folded inside the basket is also the one Kyurie-san previously had used. 

I wonder if it's okay for me to use that bath towel? 

............................... 

Unn. 

There's a line a man should not cross. 

Then after that, I climbed on my bed and gazing at the dark ceiling inside my room. 

"Is there something I can do I wonder?" 

Kyurie Velstein. 

If possible, I wish to be able to spend academy life with her and graduate together. 

I was not enough as a 『reason』 to make her stay in this academy. 

Did not reach her completely. 

It seems like that feeling of mine was being transmitted, though.... 

I wonder how can I make her stay? 

Is it good if Nois were not being caught? 

That is wrong. 

That's why I will help to fulfill Kyurie-san wish without holding back. 

If by any chance she leaves this place to look for 『that person』 thenー... 

"..............................." 

At that time, should I follow her and leave this school? 

I don't know... 

"Well, first and foremost is to catch Nois first huh?" 

Nois Dis. 

Today I was going to ask Kyurie-san about the person in question indirectly but... I was unable to do so due to the atmosphere from a while ago. 

Besides Kyurie-san did say that if she can, she does not want to involve me with it. 

If that is the case then... unexpectedly I will meet Lokia in the academy sooner than later. 

He seems like he wants something from me, but I wonder what was that all about. 

『If you make a mistake from the right path; you have the potential to become the evilest person.』 

"........................................." 

To think that he said I could become the evilest person. 

I have to think about the impending match against him later. 

I think the current me has become stronger than before. 

But, if I have to say the thing that makes me realize it most then, compared than before, 『that sense』ー I can feel the 『beast』 that is far away... 

I wonder if it attracted toward the sense of crisis that was born inside of me. 

Consequently, I was having a hard time to keep my consciousness from being swallowed completely at the time I fight against the blue goblins. 

And I hardly feel such a thing at the time when I fight against the giants. 

Thus, that means I have become stronger. 

I become more powerful. 

For the time being Kyurie-san is going to train me but... 

........................................... 

Nois Dis. 

Hibigami. 

The people from the sixth inst.i.tution. 

I wonder if I will continue getting entangled with them. 

If the blockade is going to last long, then it will affect the academy ranking at the end of the term...  

Like that, making the a.s.sessment easier because the ranking comes out clearly. 

It seems like in the end; they choose to wait and see what happen first. 

Though I feel more enthusiasm when doing battle practice with Kyurie-san now. 

It must be because she already knows the prospect that I will fight against Hibigami in the future, she also makes the lessons more seriously than before. 

I didn't even see his figure within the academy. 

But it was probably him trying to gather information regarding Nois, I guess? 

These past two days, during lunch, I spent it with five people, they are Kyurie-san, Cecil-san, Zix, and Hirgiz-san. 

And me taking a turn having lunch with Kyurie-san or Cecil-san has ceased. 

And then regarding Aira-san, she seems to have reconciled with the upper-cla.s.sman which whom she makes a group previously. 

Be that as it may, it was the uppercla.s.sman who selfish broke the relations.h.i.+p in the first place. 

Inside the dining room, my eyes caught the sight of Aira-san and Rei-san surrounded by the upper cla.s.smen. 

After school, I mainly spent my time doing practice against Kyurie-san or Cecil-san. 

A short time later, they would return home earlier. 

These past two days, after having done what I had learned, feeling bored I do some swinging practice by myself, or going back home and have a silly conversation with Mia-san to amuse myself. 

And also, while doing that, I got her(Mia) to teach me how to do ma.s.sage a little bit. 

Or rather, I received a lot of her ma.s.sage, and I easily fell for it... 

Of course, it feels superb. 

Mia-san was really amazing. 

That is what I thought. 

I might unknowingly advance toward a new stage. 

Ah, that's right... 

It won't grow unless one learn by practice after all! 

And thus, the next day. 

After cla.s.s, I stood in front of the main gate side by side with Makina-san. 

"*Fuu*, Nois Dis ne?" 

Under the bright blue sky, Makina-san put her finger on her chin deep in thought. 

"If the uproar regarding the giant monster is truly her handiwork then, certainly, I cannot leave it be." 

While killing some time, I told Makina-san the matter about Nois. 

"Well, I guess it will be bad in your current position." 

For example, giving a list of students profile, in the Headmistress standpoint that kind of thing is quite severe. 

"You seems to have guess it~... Well indeed, there's about that too. I have not yet talked with the man named Lokia, and I cannot deny the possibility that Kyurie is being used by that man after all. As expected, when it comes to the people coming from the sixth inst.i.tution." 

Kyurie-san is a bit unique, by nature one should not let their guard down easily toward the people coming from the sixth inst.i.tution, I guess? 

"Well... Although I cannot cooperate, I will try to overlook the action of that man named Lokia a bit. Moreover... I end up knowing what happen to the man that we detained previously, with this my job is being cut by one." 

Listening to the matter regarding Ghost, it seems like Makina-san job regarding 『the detained man who escaped』 can stop for a moment. 

In fact with that, her work will decrease by one I bet. 

I feel that it was unusual for her to show such thing. 

Today is the day Kyurie-san, and I received inquiry by the people from the sacred tree chivalric order. 

"Ah, Kyurie-san." 

After waiting for a while, Kyurie-san came. 

Since it had nothing to do with me, thus I came here first... 

Lately Kyurie-san and Cecil-san. 

I wonder what... 

As a matter of fact, I feel like I spent more time conversing with Zix and Aira-san these past two days compared than with those two. 

It can't be, those two... 

They are not start dating right? 

Something like entering the world of Yuri?  

If that is really the case... I wonder what I should do? 

Eh? 

Perhaps it's just my imagination? 

I thought that every day is just the usual day, am I the only one who feels that way? 

P-Probably those twoー... 

『Are you done with Kurohiko?』 

『Fufufu, oh you, Kyurie also beautiful you know...』 

『Fufufu... after all Kyurie who's immediately looking embarra.s.sed is cute』 

『Who knows? He didn't notice I think? Rather than that, come onー...』 

『It's alright... Ne? Leave everything to me... comeー...』 

Then a censored delusion comes... 

"................................." 

It can't be... 

......................................... 

A flame of suspicion that once burned won't quickly disappear. 

Hahahaha... 

Such stupid thing is impossible after all. 

A light green line is running over the clothes. 

Perhaps that is the uniform of the sacred tree eight swords. 

At the time when the sacred tree eight sword comes at the location that was what Makina-san had said. 

There is two broadsword hung on the horse. 

Although it is a slow and quiet tone, it gave tremendous mysterious force. 

Lips curve that gives a strict impression. 

A firm jaw. 

Full of fort.i.tude and vigor. 

However, this face. 

"That was the plan... however..." 

Mu? 

That name, where did I heard it I wonder?  

Vanshutosu then bowed to Kyurie-san and me. 

"Sacred Tree Knight, Vanshutosu Troia... Pleased to meet you."  

Nn? 

Troia... 

Come to think of it. 

The elder brother of Bashcarta Troia is a member of the sacred tree eight swords, isn't it? 

"... Kyurie Velstein." 

It feels like he's thinking about something. 

"Today, only you?" 

Makina-san asked. 

"No... I did not come alone." 

Vanshutosu-san turns around toward the slope. 

Then I saw a carriage climbing a slope. 

After the coachman gives a little greeting, the carriage door opens. 

What appeared first is a lemon-colored hair... Well, is it a lady? 

That person was also wearing the same uniform as Vanshutosu-san. 

"This is... again, and unexpected fellow appeared ne?" 

Makina-san's voice this time shows a blatant surprise. 

However, I noticed this immediately. 

This person is probablyー. 

"Diarez Arclight"  

Makina-san spoke the name of the person that come out from the carriage. 

Cecil Arclight elder brother. 

So that's Cecil-san elder brother huh... 

If I'm not mistaken, he's the man that Cecil-san tried to surpa.s.sー. 

"Eh?" 

And then Makina leaked a somehow deep surprise. 

The person that comes out after Diarez-san is stepping out with a heavy step while wearing boots. 

The man that appear has a mysterious atmosphere that mix between elegance and wildness. 

A jet black eyes. 

An aquiline nose. 

Although it has the same model as Vanshutosu-san and Diarez-san uniform, it has a different color pattern. 

On his waist was a sword resting in a black sheath treated with golden decoration. 

Thenー There's no left arm. 

The uniform sleeve is swaying in the wind breeze. 

I had an idea who's this person is. 

This person is probablyー. 

"Rank three in sacred tree order Vanshutosu Troia, deputy leader of sacred tree chivalric order Diarez Arclight. In addition to this to think that you would also come... I didn't expect it at all." 

Makina-san shrugged her shoulders. 

"Just what's going on that it turn out like this?" 

The black uniformed man glanced around uninterestedly and then turn toward Makina-san. 

"Sacred Tree chivalric order leader, Sogut Sigmus."
