I Gave Up Their NTR Liberation Quest

10 – Do you still like lilacs?

After listening to the school rules and taking a look around the academy, half a day passed and it was time for lunch.

The grounds of this goddamn arcade academy are too large.

The land of an ordinary academy is only about half of this, but the Empire provides a truly absurd level of land and privileges, as if to prove that it does not save money on talent training.

Besides, in fact, it ended in less than half a day because the number of people decreased. Originally, the number exceeded 100 and the ranks continued to be disorganized, so the whole day was lost.

“Then let’s be free in the afternoon. A proper academy life will begin tomorrow. Got it?”

“yes!”

It’s said that life at the academy starts tomorrow, but it’s no exaggeration to say that living at the academy starts today anyway.

“There are fewer people than I thought.”

“Of course.”

As I spoke while taking a sip of the coffee Lane had brought, Lane blinked and listened to my words.

“It’s an academy about the same size as the capital of the empire. However, there are only professors, students, and some merchants living there, so it can’t be helped that it looks empty.”

“Is that enough?”

“okay.”

This academy, even if it doesn’t advertise that it has poured everything into cultivating talented people, becomes an advertisement.

It was good to see it as the ultimate waste of space when I was eating in such a wide open space and hardly anyone could be seen.

“This time, first graders are especially few.”

“Yes, especially in the swordsmanship department, it seems to be more severe. Probably because the place of the entrance exam was the place, there are many wizard students who hide and shoot from a distance, so it seems that there are only three S-class swordsmanship students including me and the young master.”

… That’s me, Lane and Minel.

“This is almost like tutoring.”

Anyway, at this rate, the A-class would have a higher percentage of wizards. It’s a difficult situation to break through with a sword, but it wouldn’t be strange to say that Class A is almost exclusively for wizards.

“By the way, what’s your relationship with Minel?”

“Hmm… .”

It’s me and Minel’s relationship.

That’s about all that can be explained in the present situation, which has not yet gone through the war.

“The fiance’s knight and the fiancé’s opponent.”

“Is this the title of some romance novel?”

As far as I can see, our relationship is a bit ambiguous. If Ceres hadn’t been there, there wouldn’t have been a relationship in the first place, and unless it was the time of the last entrance exam, we didn’t have much conversation other than small talk.

I have a lot of inner intimacy because I have made friends with comrades I can trust only after the war breaks out, and with people who can definitely survive. .

“Hmm… Other than that, the relationship with Minel… .”

“Did you call?”

Whoa, what a surprise!

The greeting was delayed because I was frozen at the familiar voice behind me, but Minel quietly sat next to me as if she didn’t care.

But something is missing a lot?

“What about Ceres?”

of this period… No, Minelle always spent time with Ceres. It is said that it was unavoidable in the special case of war, but in this peaceful time, the two were like ‘the two of them!’ It felt the same way.

Most of them were holding on to Minel because of Ceres’ foolishness, but Minel also didn’t hate Ceres, so I kept sticking with her… Why are you here alone now?

“The lady said she was tired and went back to her inn. And after seeing me, he ordered me to act freely, so I came to have a conversation with the few swordsmanship departments.”

Any complaints?

I put on an expression that I didn’t care at the eyes that seemed to say that. Rianne, who was staring blankly at me from the side, lowered her head and handed the cup and coffee to Minel.

“Thank you. By the way, is the eldest son of the Primal duchy also a male? Carrying around two maids… It’s more colorful than I thought.”

“Do not be ridiculous. Lianne insisted that she come along and brought her along. Originally, I was only going to bring Rain.”

Knock!

I heard something strange, but there are many wildlife around here. Does it sound like a squirrel is eating an acorn somewhere?

“Do you really listen to such foolishness?”

When Minelle looked at Lianne, Lianne lowered her gaze and quietly backed away.

“Originally, I won’t listen. But I did it because of my contributions in the past.”

It’s actually a lie. I thought I had already given up on them, but it happened when my emotions were still intense, so I listened to Lianne’s words as if I were in my previous life.

I am regretting it now. Every time I see Rianne, I think, ‘I should only bring Rain’.

“there… .”

Suddenly, someone’s voice was heard from far away.

It’s a familiar voice… Who was it?

“yes? who… .”

“Yes, Lian.”

As her hand landed on my shoulder, I dropped the sandwich I was holding onto the floor.

For a moment, it literally felt like time had stopped.

Percussion!

But apart from that feeling, I slammed her hand on my shoulder and said her name.

“Prince… ?”

The saintess with white hair in front of me stared at me with trembling eyes.

“What are you doing? Holy Maiden.”

oh damn

I tried to pretend I didn’t know as naturally as possible, but the soggy emotions overflowed from my voice and it was transmitted to the people around me.

“Rian… ?”

Lane quietly closed her eyes, and Minelle tilted her head as she called my name.

And the reaction of the saintess in front of me, Prin, also exceeded my expectations.

The amethyst-like eyes trembled as if an earthquake had occurred as soon as they heard my voice. The mouth is like a child who has wronged his parents, and he can’t get the right words out.

This time, I was just trying to keep an eye on each other… .

“Lian, don’t you remember me?”

“What are you talking about? This is my first time seeing the saintess.”

In another life, he was close enough to be called a saint, but all of those things are stories of what never happened.

It’s the first time in this life that I’ve seen her, and I’ll never see her again.

“If you have nothing to say, we will leave. The meal is over soon… .”

“… Do you still like lilacs?”

At Prin’s one word, the body stood still.

now… What did you say… ?

“what?”

“Do you like purple lilacs?”

In the past, when I was selected as a saint and was next to her, I had decided on a code.

To be precise, since the saint and the saintess could not say that they loved each other in public, it was like a code made as a metaphorical expression.

Her eyes are purple and the password is derived from the flower language of purple lilac.

“memory… are you doing

“yes.”

beginning of love,

Seeing her eyes spitting out the language of flowers, I felt blood rushing to my head.

The scene where the person who picked and threw away the flower is asking me if I still like that flower is so funny… I am so angry.

“you… You are crazy at last.”

“yes… .”

affirmed It means that Prin himself knows how shameless he is doing now.

Well, what crazy bitch could do something like this without feeling shameless.

“Puhhhh…”

“young master?”

Even Rain was taken aback when I suddenly started laughing.

“f*ck bitch… .”

“What!?”

Minel, who was listening, looked at me and Prin in surprise.

In an ordinary case, the status of a saintess is treated almost like royalty in the Holy Land. No matter how much she belongs to the Primal family and is a duke of the empire, there is no way she can curse at her.

But what? Now I really don’t care about that.

“You’re saying things like that to me when you have memories?”

“I’m sorry. But I want to apologize to you…”

“Do not be ridiculous!!!”

apology? Even if I hear an apology that is only a lump of hypocrisy, there is no way I can feel better.

In my life so far, my end has always been miserable.

Burning, poisoning, assassinating, or even being buried alive, the sensation of dirt and earthworms slowly entering your lungs and nostrils is disgusting even to recall.

“What did you brazenly say to me after hanging out with another guy? Do you still like lilacs?!”

Originally, I tried not to pay attention to her.

At the point of getting angry like this, I proved to myself that I still have lingering feelings for them.

It took indifference to completely sever ties with them.

The opposite of love is indifference. It’s something I know all too well… He was the one I loved for over 100 years.

That is, each of them devoted at least 20 years to each of them.

“If you remembered that in the first place, you would know how I looked when I lived that life… Are you talking like that?”

With Minelle and Rain next to me, I was thinking of keeping my words as low as possible, but my head was already hot as if flame magic had already been activated.

The head that has lived a desperate life cries out to calm down, but the already heated head does not cool down just by pouring a little water.

“You killed it. Incited, betrayed, bewitched… .”

The most important word ‘I’ was left out.

If you include the object of ‘I’ here, you might end up going to a point where you can’t really turn back.

“that… .”

And judging from that reaction, it seems that memories of living a second life remain.

Shameless year.

“Hey, Lane. let’s go.”

“yes.”

Lane, of course, followed me.

“I’m going too.”

Minel also seems to have helped clean up before I knew it, gathered things spread out on the floor, handed them to Lianne, and stood next to me.

“… thank you.”

“As a maid, it’s natural.”

“At the point where the other side is bowing, there must be something wrong with that side. In the first place, a man like you, whom I have seen so far, is trustworthy.”

I barely managed to contain myself from bursting into laughter at Minel’s words.

it’s credit Minel trusted me even when we weren’t that friendly yet.

Even when they whispered love to each other, they didn’t believe me, and they didn’t trust me and betrayed me, but you believed me from then on.

The smile that had been built on the kindness of the two rapidly hardened at a single word heard from behind.

“Here, Bocchan. What the hell is going on with the saintess… .”

Yeah, I was eating him.

When Rianne tried to continue talking, Lane reached out to cover her mouth, calming her down, and Minel lowered her tail as she noticed.

Come to think of it, those 4 people are not particularly conscious… No, it’s not that I don’t care, but I should say that I have a strong desire to monopolize.

A terribly self-righteous desire to exclusivity that only relieves my mind when I know everything about where I am, what I do, and how I do it.

And that desire to monopolize eventually disappeared after about 10 years.

Looking back at it like this, the disadvantages continue to be stepped on in the eyes more than the advantages.

In the past, I felt like I was a perfect person with no flaws even if I only had 1 or 2 strengths, but whenever I look at it objectively, my eyebrows frown.

“Have you been possessed?”

Putting aside the question of whether or not I possessed the soul of a pure love boy, I threw myself into the bed after parting ways with Minel and returning to the dorm.

“By the way, it’s not bothersome if the other kids even have their memories come back… .”

It doesn’t matter if it’s just one Prin, but if all four of them stick together… .

“Ehh.”

I can only sigh.

Too many things happened today. My head desperately wants a break.

“Okay, take a deep breath and wake up… .”

“yes?”

what is this all of a sudden
