Please Do Not Abandon the Adopted Heroine

129 – Where the hell have you gone!

“… yes? vacation spot… ? Villa?”

It was an entirely unexpected development.

No at this point? What about the Holy Sword or the 6th Holy Sword? What about the emperor?

I was so embarrassed that I had no choice but to scream like an undine who got caught eating a jar of honey.

The chairman patted my back and laughed cheerfully, as if he knew that would happen. It may have been intended to be a light joke, but the balanced core power rising from his forearm muscles was like a one-sided assault.

puck! … Ribs…

puck! I feel like it will break… .

puck! Save Lina… Give it…

puck! Wow!

“Haha! Have you ever heard of student Lin as Delion?”

“yes? yes?!”

Lin was holding onto my sleeve tightly as if she was worried, and then her eyes widened to the size of big drops when she heard the chairman’s question. Maybe she thought that if I answered late, I would be beaten more, but the kind-hearted Rin desperately tried to fight and said,

“Oh, no. I don’t know.”

“ha ha ha! Delion! The natural beauty that the empire boasts of! “Just looking at the emerald sea, where even the white sand reflects transparently, and the deep green town, makes me feel like my eyes are being purified.”

ocean… ?

“Cough! Cough… ! Chairman… It’s midwinter now… ”

“Young people these days are so tasteless that they don’t know the romance of the winter sea.”

“I’m going to freeze to death while being romantic.”

“Aren’t you wizards? A wizard who turns the impossible into the possible. All you have to do is develop a magic that allows you to jump into cold water and splash around.”

“… “If it were that easy, I wouldn’t have asked Undine for it.”

“Why are you fussing so much, Professor Neferna? It seems like there are a lot of complaints. Is this really that bad? It is the best villa in Delion. “The villa itself is located on the exquisite border between the beach and the forest, so you can enjoy a completely private vacation without being disturbed by other tourists.”

A private vacation… I stared at the chairman from a distance, wondering if this made any sense at this point. The chairman seemed to have misunderstood that I was trying to trick him, and he grinned and pressed me.

“But if you don’t like it, there’s nothing I can do. Lin seems to really want to go. There was no way Rin could go that far alone without a guide… Unfortunately, she has no choice but to turn it into something that never happened. Still, won’t she be disappointed in Lin Yi?”

“Oh, no! If I don’t like my brother, I don’t have to go… !”

“If you accept now, I will send you Lini, Rani, and our leader, Professor Neferna, without leaving anything behind. How about it? Professor Neferna, don’t you know well what the situation is like in the village of the Vanir gods? It’s like a prison without bars. There is no need to tell me how harshly Lin and Ran were treated because of Brisingamen. I wish you would go there in person for the sake of the children who wandered aimlessly in order to survive even after escaping from the village… ”

It’s a threat. This is a threat.

It’s not just words that cut into my heart.

It was clear that this sentence was made after knowing how weak I was to Rin and Ran.

Lin stamped her feet, not knowing what to do, perhaps feeling very burdened by the atmosphere of people pushing me around under her pretext.

I couldn’t continue to watch that, so I jumped up from my seat.

“Ugh! All right! I have to go! “You must definitely go!”

“Oh my.”

“But I don’t know what’s going on at the academy. “Are you going to handle it on your own, Chairman?”

He is not unaware that many issues are intertwined, such as the 6th Holy Sword, Lee Min-ah, the Emperor, and the complete restoration of the snow field.

In response to my blunt remark, the chairman slammed his hand the size of a large pot! bang! I hit my back.

What, what are you hitting me again?

“Haha! of course. “It’s not something Professor Neferna should worry about.”

Thump thump thump thump!

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Ttduk (roughly the sound of the back breaking)

Is it broken? Is it a little off? It’s already too late for anything. Argh!!! Lina, save me!

“And Professor Neferna hasn’t even been able to leave this area for the past few years. Contracts are really annoying. I am tied up both physically and mentally. “Professor Neferna, it’s no wonder you think of this academy as a prison.”

“… “Didn’t you recklessly go out to a snowy field last time?”

“hmm? Ah, now that I think about it, it was like that during the Kim Yu-sung incident. That couldn’t be helped. “It wouldn’t be a bad idea to go on a vacation this time and relieve the fatigue from the past.”

“yes… what. All right.”

There is no reason to refuse anymore. I got up from my seat with a trembling feeling.

It may be a little crazy, but the Chairman is a warrior of the 4th Holy Sword. It means that even if I am not worried, I am a person who has the ability and strength to handle most things on my own.

I grabbed my tattered back and, trembling as I had already crossed, grabbed the doorknob.

“Oppa, are you okay?”

“Hehe… This is it… are you okay… I can stand… .”

Of course it’s a bluff. I was convinced that if I didn’t go to Professor Aegis quickly, I might not be able to use my back for the rest of my life.

It seems that the culprit who actually made me like this had a different opinion about the reason why my steps were heavy.

“Professor Neferna. I know you’re worried about the Academy, but don’t worry too much. The Third Holy Sword is nearby. “Yes, she could use her help.”

“Eh… ? The hero of the Third Holy Sword? “Is that woman who said she ran away from the imperial palace here?”

“Shh! Be quiet, because they might be hiding somewhere right now. “I don’t want you to die with me.”

“How old will you be the day after tomorrow? Isn’t it a crime to struggle to avoid being called ‘ajumma’ at that age?”

“anyway… I don’t know. Seup! under!”

The chairman lost his cool and started lifting the iron ball. I’m not the type of person who can’t tell the difference between cold sweat on my forehead and what isn’t.

… Why are you so embarrassed? It was as if the Third Holy Sword was listening nearby.

“Professor Neferna.”

“yes… ?”

“Be careful.”

The chairman had an extremely serious expression as he uttered those words.

It was rare to see the Chairman holding his weight, so I held Lin’s hand and tensed.

However, the chairman’s subsequent advice was enough to make my legs shake.

“If you take a few steps here and there and neglect women’s feelings too much, you could get stabbed without even knowing.”

“… ha ha ha. Chairman. Lin will misunderstand. I straddle her legs. “I am a clean person who avoids such promiscuous love.”

“When you realize that there is a slight difference between abstention and intention, you will have already measured the line between life and death. One of your father’s best quotes. “I don’t think Seo Cheol-soo would want his children to go through the experience of waking up with a stab wound and facing the hospital ceiling.”

What is this person talking about in front of the child? No, rather, what on earth was my father doing? I never thought there would be another episode that I don’t know about.

The kid looked at me and seemed to misunderstand.

I covered Lin’s ears and hurriedly closed the door to the director’s office. Before I go, I didn’t forget to get revenge for breaking my back. After saying a few words in a blunt tone and laughing, he left the room.

“… … Is there anything I should be careful about? Chairman, please be careful while I am gone.”

***

“A lot has changed. It seems like just yesterday that I was frowning and acting rude in front of kids… ”

As I put down the iron ball, I heard an unusual crackling sound from the floor. The floor has already been replaced twenty times. If I break it again here, what will I hear from the administration office? The chairman couldn’t erase his gloomy expression and rescued the iron ball from the crushed floor.

“what the. “What are you doing, old man, so emotional in such a difficult situation?”

“Oh oh. “The Third Holy Sword.”

When I turn my gaze, the first thing that blows is a cool breeze.

It doesn’t matter how long ago it was there. Despite her sharp-edged personality, her movements are always like the wind. So, there was only one thing that mattered to the chairman.

“… … “Did you hear it?”

“what? “Did you say Nefer or she was a lady?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“are you okay. Because I plan to kill that lively kid by paying him interest someday. “Even if it’s not this case, I’m indebted to you in many ways.”

“… Hmm? “I didn’t expect you to have a connection with Professor Neferna.”

“There is such a thing.”

The Third Holy Sword gave a short answer and snatched the whiskey from the desk. The chairman does not drink alcohol. Although it is alcohol prepared for guests, the number of drinkers is limited as it is now.

“Anyway, that guy has become very dull. I see you hiding right in front of me and you don’t even recognize me. The blade is so rusty that it’s crumbling? Even your senses are dulled like that just because you sealed the magical power with the power of two holy swords? Besides, I really can’t stand that withdrawn personality. “In the past, it was a crazy dog ​​that would kill you if you even brushed its collar.”

“It’s the reward for staying in peace. “It’s the right thing to do.”

“I’m not sure if that b*stard deserves peace, but I do.”

“Hasn’t the price already been paid? “As the Third Holy Sword, you probably know why Professor Neferna is bound to the academy.”

“You’ve covered him up once or twice, but you’re trying to protect him too much.”

“hmm… .”

“That kid is not Seo Cheol-soo. I’ve said this many times, but he’s not even half as good as my father. “It’s not a bowl.”

“… Huh. “Have you still not let go of your feelings for Seo Cheol-soo?”

“Do you want to rummage?”

The chairman closed his mouth at the sound of a sudden sound.

“Isn’t this trip ultimately in the same vein?”

Suddenly at the word ‘travel’ there was a thud from beyond the door! A noise was heard.

“by the way… .. From earlier, it was pounding and noisy.”

The Third Holy Sword scratched his head as if in annoyance, grabbed the doorknob, and pulled it without hesitation.

“is not it? Cute baby cats. “Stalking is bad.”

“aaah!”

“… … ! Undine! careful… .!”

“You still don’t know that chasing men around in broad daylight is a waste of time. Young ones are like this… ”

Undine and Cecilia poured out loudly.

The undine, who was rolling around, shouted, “Bangle, bang, bang!”

“I’m not a stalker! Fire! “Don’t just sit still and say something!”

Then Undine stood up, dusted herself off, and suddenly turned to the chairman and asked:

“Where exactly!”

“… what?”

“Oh my! What sea is the master going to? “We have to go too!”
