The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 248
56page. the truth revealed (4)
7.
A bar with a lively atmosphere.
However, there were places where the cold wind blew the grass, which did not match the atmosphere. It was the Ulan party's table right in the corner..
“……explain.”
Dillia's eyes narrowed..
With her eyes as heavy as her low voice, she asked to do what she did..
“why are you here.”
Noah swallowed dry saliva at the strange sense of intimidation felt in his eyes and voice. Laurea, on the other hand, replied with her unconcerned face..
“As you can see, the three of them are just getting together and organizing the story.?”
“You can do that in a hotel too!”
“that's right! why did you have to come out?”
“Yes, the weather is nice, but it's a waste to stay in a hotel. My throat was also a bit dry..”
Laurea smiles as she looks at Ybela and Perticia, who are questioning each other. Soon after, she shook her hand and continued her words..
“Anyway, we haven't finished talking yet, so hurry back. You promised to give it a day?”
“but how far does that go……!”
I just gave you time to sort things out.
I didn't give her to come out like this and have a quiet time. Ibella's strong protest was followed by Laurea's reply..
“So you said that? Although the location has changed, the purpose is the same.”
Truly shameless attitude.
Ibella and Dillia burst into laughter as if they were full of spirits. On the other hand, he stared at Laurea with fierce eyes as if he was pressuring him..
Of course, I didn't even eat the seeds..
“what are you doing? not going?”
Seeing Laurea continue to send the three of them off, the three girls exchanged glances..
After a while, the three went to a table a little away from Ulan and the others and took a seat. Laurea narrowed his eyes at this sight..
“what are you doing now…….”
“Just, we, too, something, to drink.”
“'Cause I've come this far!”
“Maybe it's because I ran, my throat is a bit dry.”
We only exchanged glances with each other, but as if we had agreed in advance, the answer flowed out smoothly..
After that, each of the three gazed at the table with wary eyes flashing..
Was this situation annoying??
Laurea frowned..
After thinking about it for a while, she smiled as if she had come up with an idea to overcome the situation..
“Noah.”
“yes?”
“As I said last time, I said that I would repay you for helping me in this subjugation.?”
“I did... … . why?”
When Noah asked back with a somewhat uneasy feeling, Laurea replied with a smile..
“then cooperate with me.”
“tongue, if cooperation……?”
“Close your eyes and count from one to ten, then create an incredibly thick fog.”
Among the magic that Noah uses, there is a technique that brings thick fog..
Meanwhile, when Laurea finished speaking, Noah guessed what her purpose was. She answered with a sigh..
“Ha, I know what you're trying to do, but it's useless. As Laurea knows, Dillia can observe the flow of magical energy..”
Therefore, I will see through and prepare for the effect even before the technique is completed. Dillia was keeping an eye on us even at this moment,.
However, Laurea was unmoved..
“are you okay. i will stop.”
“yes? what is that…….”
“So don't talk nonsense and get ready.”
A confident smile blooms on your lips.
Seeing that, Noah was dubious but secretly took out the amulet. She had something she said in the past, so I thought I'd keep it.
“Ulando close your eyes.”
Until I tell you to rise again.
At her request, Ulan closed his eyes as instructed. In response, Laurea whispered to her Noah to begin, then closed her eyes and clasped her hands together..
as if to say a prayer.
After all preparations are done.
While Noah prepared the technique, he counted slowly in his mind. Eventually, when he had counted to nine, a sudden incident struck the bar..
Flash! aaaaaaa!
A pure white light suddenly burst forth. It was the divine light activated by Laurea's prayer..
“aww!”
“sigh! who, snow……!”
“what? what's the matter?!”
At the momentary explosion of light, the guests who could not close their eyes screamed..
The same goes for Dylia's group..
The moment I was taken aback by the unexpected situation, this time Noah's technique was activated..
saaaaa!
A white fog that swallowed the intestines.
The thick fog that bloomed after the sudden explosion of light was enough to take away everyone's sight, and the commotion continued after that..
some time after that.
The fog that enveloped the area quickly dissipated. It was thanks to Dillia, who managed to regain her composure, quickly clearing her of the fog..
“ugh my eyes hurt.”
“what the hell is this?”
Perticia and Ibella are crying.
Unlike the two girls who were flustered, Dillia, who was relatively calm, quickly grasped the current situation..
‘I knew Noah's tricks.’
Just by seeing the flow and arrangement of magic power, Dillia realized that Noah's magic was to create fog..
‘So, I prepared the nullification magic.…….’
I didn't expect Laurea to pray and use divine light..
No matter how much mana was loved, it was impossible to find out the flow of divine power..
“nonsensical, nonsense…….”
Dillia, who had been played by Laurea without moving, frowned as if in a bad mood. But she couldn't even follow her words.
Instead, I opened my eyes wide.
“……!”
Ulan and Laurea are gone.
The only thing left at the table where the three of them were was Noah, who was still sitting with his eyes closed..
The faces of Ibella and Perticia, who noticed this a step later, also hardened..
got hit! The three crumpled their faces at the same time..
“laurea!”
a voice full of anger.
The shouts from the lips of the three girls echoed through the hall..
8.
Meanwhile around that time.
Laurea successfully escaped the bar with Ulan. It was thanks to the unannounced prayer, divine light and Noah's fog..
But it's still too early to be relieved.
So Laurea took holy water and poured it over Ulan and herself..
“what are you doing?”
“I'm carving a divine spell.”
Then, he stretched out his pure white fingers and drew a divine pattern. In this way, it is possible to prevent other abilities other than divine power from interfering..
In other words, the risk of being discovered by Dillia's tracking magic and the spirits of Perticia is reduced..
“Phew, I should have been like this a long time ago.”
Looking back, it was too easy.
But it's not just a loss.
“Still, I have to thank the three of them. Thanks to you, we're finally alone.”
The situation left alone with Ulan.
Laurea laughed bashfully..
It was a smile of satisfaction. Ulan, on the other hand, asked with a puzzled face..
“But isn't it easier to organize the story with Noah??”
“are you okay. enough for the two of us.”
Laurea gave a rough answer.
Rather, this was exactly what she had hoped for. So Laurea grabbed Ulan's hand and pulled him away..
“well then let's go.”
“where?”
“There's not enough alcohol to end it like this?”
I'm talking about drinking more.
There was no reason to refuse, so Ulan nodded happily. The sun was in the middle of the sky, so there was quite a bit of time left to organize the story..
how long has it been like that?
After walking through the alley, the two purchased fruit wine at another bar and sat down on the steps of the deserted alley, tilting the bottle..
“Whoa! This reminds me of the old days.”
“Was it when I was a candidate for sainthood??”
“Yes, shortly after coming to the holy kingdom. I used to come to secluded places like this often.”
When I got tired of the repetitive routine of praying every day, I always ran away and came to the alley..
Around the time she smiled as if recalling memories, Laurea asked as if she had realized something..
“Ah, Ulan is a story you already know?”
“I've heard it a few times.”
Ulan nodded in agreement.
Laurea made a pouty expression. Then he said with a sigh.
“……I'm losing my mind somehow.”
“what are you talking about?”
“I want to tell Ulan my story, but he already knows. not funny.”
Laurea grumbled..
Then I glanced at Ulan..
“In the first place, whenever you talk to me, you often refer to me in the past life. The me now is different from the me in Ulan's memory.?”
“is it?”
“of course! Now I don't even despise you as a barbarian. And now we're not even that bad.”
that's right.
In contrast to the fact that it took a long time to become close in the past life, this time I belonged to the type of person who became close quite early..
“So let me forget the me of the past life.”
“no, it can't be.”
“what? why?”
“Because it's a precious memory to me.”
Ulan shook his head resolutely..
The moments spent with colleagues in the past life are the same as the support that supports Ulan in the present..
That's why, regardless of good or bad memories, they are all precious memories. Laurea pondered for a moment, then opened her mouth..
“good. then let's do this.”
“how?”
“Ulan, tell me first what you know about me. Then I'll tell you apart from that.”
not a bad suggestion.
Ulan nodded. He then opened his mouth, recalling what had happened with Laurea..
“i get it. Don't do that. Then, first of all, he told me that he was a savage that would be fine even if he changed his drink.…….”
“Except for that story!”
Embarrassed, Laurea hurriedly reached out and covered Ulan's mouth. After a while, the two each tilted their bottles and chatted in earnest..
Stories I've never heard before.
Is that why? For some reason, I felt like I knew more about Laurea. Ulan laughed silently because she was not in a bad mood..
9.
some time after that.
time passed in an instant.
A street that suddenly turned dark.
I was looking around the city, drinking and chatting, so I didn't achieve my original goal at all..
“I couldn't finish the story.”
Ulan muttered in a low tone.
Then Laurea tapped him on the shoulder as if telling him not to worry..
“are you okay. Actually, I already had things sorted out before..”
“what? then why…….”
“Of course I want to play. If not today, when else will a day like this come??”
Bashish Laughing Laurea.
She replied with a reddish face as if drunk. Then she smacked her lips as if she was a little regretful on the one hand..
“I thought I had a lot of fun, but it's still a bit disappointing. Thinking of breaking up soon.”
After revealing the truth to everyone tomorrow, Laurea returns to the Holy Land with the Holy Knights..
Then we won't see each other for a while.
Aware of the reality she had been trying to forget, she put on a gloomy expression. Around the time when she silently let out a sigh as her heart felt tight.
“take it.”
Suddenly Ulan stretched out his hand..
Before long, a pair of earrings glistening in the moonlight were placed on the open palm. Laurea, who was looking at this blankly, asked curiously..
“uh? what's this?”
“it's a gift.”
“gift……?”
“Because it has helped me a lot.”
A blunt answer scattered in the air.
At the same time, Laurea widened her eyes as if she had realized the reality. After a while, she asked again in a slightly trembling voice..
“I really can take it?”
“Of course.”
Thanks to Laurea's help in the past, Ulan was finally able to learn Noah's secret..
Again, without her, the subjugation of Asteban would have been impossible. So Ulan nodded his head in gratitude..
“i bought it for you take it.”
The round bright yellow eyes fluttered once. Laurea, who took her earring in a daze, wiggled her long fingers..
“Well, actually, it's the first time I've received something like this, so I don't know what to say.…….”
She paused for a moment, muttering gibberish. She then took a deep breath and looked at her uhlan. and she smiled broadly.
“Thanks, Ulan. I'm so glad.”
“Glad then.”
Ulan grinned as well..
Afterwards, Laurea immediately hung the earrings on both earlobes. Then he ran a hand through his hair and asked again..
“how is it? matches well?”
“I think so.”
“Heh, it's a trivial answer, but I'll forgive you.”
'Cause I feel so good right now.
Laurea smiled..
With a bottle in one hand and Ulan's arm in the other,.
By the time the conversation ended.
The lights that had been lighting up the street went out one by one. Even those who were rarely seen had long since completely disappeared..
The time is approaching midnight.
Ulan licked his tightly closed lips..
“I'll have to go back soon.”
I drank too much before I knew it.
Also, if I had things to say tomorrow, I wouldn't have to be here anymore..
However, Laurea thought differently..
“not yet.”
“what?”
“i drank less.”
After answering, she shook the bottle..
A crackling sound that follows.
It looked like there were only a few sips left, but Laurea didn't mind and went on..
“And somehow I'm a little dizzy. So, let's rest a little longer. huh?”
“Mmm, but a place to rest…….”
“There was an empty seat over there..”
She pointed to a bench in the corner of the plaza. However, it was a bit narrow for two people to sit. Ulan is much bigger than normal people.
Then Laurea quickly sat down on the bench..
He then looked up at Ulan and asked.
“Ulan is not hard?”
“it's hard?”
“Yeah, I just woke up this morning and you've been walking around a lot. I think I'll be tired.”
not tired at all.
Ulan's stamina was good enough to be said to be the best among all warriors. Also, thanks to the imprint of a hero, his condition was close to the best..
“So lie down and rest.”
“lying down, where?”
“here.”
Laurea answered briefly..
She tapped her white thighs. When Ulan shut her mouth at her unexpected words, Laurea laughed wryly..
“lie down comfortably.”
“…….”
Ulan, on the other hand, had a subtle face..
Like hesitating on how to deal with it. She closed her mouth for a moment, contemplating her answer, then Laurea whispered to her again..
“……no?”
half down coat.
Dress looser than usual.
Blinking her rather wet eyes, she looked up at Ulan in silence..
With an expression that is hard to refuse.
