Academy Light Attribute Vampire

75 – Vacation Like Vacation

The day before the carriage departs.

“… Thank you so much for this, Elena.”

As soon as I heard that Elena had woken up,

Elgrid came to Elena’s lodgings to thank Elena on behalf of the King.

“Ah… No. It would have worked out just fine if it wasn’t for me.”

He was such a good kid.

Since she was little, Elena was such a child..

After all, she is a child who is like a distant relative.

Of course, Elgrid was well aware of the rumors about Elena.

Because it was none other than Elgrid who accepted Siriel’s request and allowed Elena to be sent to her academy.

“…”

Actually, Elgrid came here to convince Elena.

Now that it is revealed that Elena has a special power that only the chosen among the ancient elves had,

For the elves, it was the most valuable living specimen.

‘…A specimen.’

What a selfish way of thinking.

I can’t bear to open my mouth.

Which elf could ask this child for such a shameless favor?

A child born between ‘that woman’ and a high elf,

She left all of this child to Siriel, who was still young, expecting her own expectations and being disappointed.

… In effect, you could call it neglect.

“…?”

“…That.”

But even though she knew it, she came to tell Elena her favor.

Shamelessly.

I want you to stay in Alfheim.

The king also felt sorry for Elena, but

He seemed to want Elena to stay for the sake of her national interest.

For the King.

For the sake of the country.

All you have to do is say a word.

As it always has been.

But.

Tight.

“… I’m sorry.”

“Yes?”

For those who are not kings,

How long has it been since I bowed my head like this?

I realized this clearly through this incident.

Alfheim,

Elves must change.

And to begin with,

I had to change myself first.

**

“…”

… He is blank again.

“What do you think?”

“Uh… Huh?! Just wait…”

“It’s okay to take a nap if you’re sleepy.”

“No. It’s not like that…”

-Chiyiik!

“Ah. The train is leaving.”

Uh…Heh..!!

Be relaxed.

I tried to close my eyes for a moment,

Veronica and Elena were not tired and were chatting hard about what had happened in the Elven Forest over the fire.

“So… You’ve seen it since you were little?”

“Yeah…But it wasn’t long before it started to become apparent.”

“…Envy. I’d like to talk to you someday.”

Starting with a story about fairies.

“…Sure. The thread that was said to be on the monster’s head at that time.”

“Yes. It was clearly visible to Lai and me.”

“… Raido, too.”

At some point, they even talked about the time of the expedition.

In the midst of exchanging information like that.

“…”

Suddenly, the conversation suddenly stopped.

?

Did you stop talking and go to bed?

When I slowly open my closed eyes,

The gazes of the two women looking this way met their eyes.

“… What is it?”

“So Lai. What are side effects?”

It suddenly feels like the temperature inside the train has dropped by 5 degrees.

“…Isn’t there such a thing?”

At my answer, Veronica hurriedly turned her head away and started avoiding her gaze,

Helena’s expression hardened.

‘No really?’

Why do you keep interpreting it as you please…

It was my fault for not correcting the misunderstanding by talking about my constitution earlier.

“…”

I can’t help it anymore.

‘I have no choice but to be honest.’

To avoid further misunderstandings, it would be better to be honest about your constitution.

Even if these two knew about this, nothing big would happen,

In the first place, I was going to tell Elena the other day.

I think it would be a good idea to tell Veronica clearly at this point.

She paused for a bit before opening her mouth as if determined.

“Actually… I have a special constitution that gets stronger when I see the light and weakens in the dark? So this time…”

“Rye.”

“Rye.”

“Huh?”

I’m telling you because it’s you.

I looked up while telling the story with an expression.

The expression of the two is not good.

‘Why? Also. What.’

As if Veronica was slightly hurt by my puzzled expression, she softened the corners of her eyes and opened her mouth.

“…You don’t have to lie when you’re talking nonsense like that.”

“Right, Lai. Wouldn’t it be better to be honest about being caught anyway? Just in case.”

“Is it real?”

“… Are you going to get mad?”

Wow. Is this too unfair?

‘Was the shepherd boy’s heart like this..?’

“… It seems that it is still difficult for me to open my heart.”

“Rye…”

Veronica closed her eyes tightly and began spitting out her words in agony.

“…Was it because of the holy sword?”

“A holy sword?”

“Yes. The power of the light contained in the holy sword is the opposite of poison to a vampire…”

“… Then.”

Now, they are putting together a puzzle with the person in front of them.

‘It must be crazy.’

However, this reasoning game does not intend to see an end.

“…Isn’t it something like this? Rai was chosen by the Holy Sword Fairy when he was young.

That’s why the light kept mana in Rai’s body for a long time, and as a result, his body has been sick since he was a child.”

“…! But the fairy was sealed in the world tree, right?”

“Jade said that. The hero is not chosen by the fairies, but by the ‘world’.

Even if he was the previous hero, he was called a hero even before he wielded the holy sword?”

“That…”

The moist eyes of the two are directed at me at the same time.

From noble mtl dot com

‘…Now I don’t know.’

I’m so frustrated that I’m going to even say that I’m from another world.

“It’s true that I’ve been sick since I was little.”

“As expected…”

“Then really…?”

“… I’ll stop talking about this here.”

Despite my interdiction, Elena continues to speak out against Veronica as if protesting.

“So Rai … Didn’t want to, but he became a hero?”

“… Originally a hero. That’s why.”

“But…! Then the rai would be too…!”

‘Now…!’

“Stop it.”

Saak-

-Chiyik!!!

My voice subsided without my knowledge.

The air inside the train starts to get cold.

You might ask why I’m doing it this way.

To be honest, from a third person’s point of view, rather than an absurd story of a peculiar constitution,

Because Veronica’s opinion that it was because she was chosen as a hero had more credibility.

And even if we are misunderstood like that, nothing will change significantly in the end.

I just feel sorry for myself,

Because I was able to convince you of a situation that is difficult to explain, that you become stronger with the light and weaker in the dark.

But why am I overreacting like this?

‘…Because it’s scary.’

Is Rai really chosen by the world?

Or is it just that he was born with a really peculiar constitution?

I don’t know.

The scenario I was thinking of was only guessed by looking at Rai’s constitution checked in the status window.

… It just comes to mind once again every time I talk about a story I don’t know.

Worries about me,

This sweet kindness towards me.

Isn’t it going to become a bubble in an instant?

Isn’t it pointing fingers at the thief who stole Rai’s body?

Because I was afraid.

…I know it could be nothing more than a paranoia.

But…

“… I’m fine. Please stop. Veronica.”

“… I get it.”

“Elena too.”

“Yes…”

But Elena and Veronica don’t even know why I’m angry.

The train became quiet due to the unnatural sense of distance coming from it.

I closed my eyes in uncomfortable silence until I reached Merhem.

**

-Kikiiik!!

-Pokung Pokung!

“We have arrived.”

Various races filled the station.

From beasts with fluffy ears and tails,

A dwarf with a child-like appearance.

After watching only elves for a while, seeing other races like this gives me a new feeling.

Huh!!!

Lightly stretch once.

“…”

The two women were still staring at me, not knowing what to do.

‘… I’m sorry.’

I didn’t want to show my anger like this,

This is my responsibility.

In an effort to change the atmosphere, he smiled and opened his mouth as if nothing was wrong.

“I’m hungry. Shall we go out for dinner?”

“…Is it?”

Unlike Elena, who is still slightly wary,

Veronica, the elder, helped change the atmosphere with a gentle smile.

“Yeah. Everyone worked hard, so I’ll do what I buy. I also received compensation.”

“We received all the compensation money..?”

“Think of it as an adult’s leisure and eat it when they buy it for you.”

“Yeah…”

“Ha ha…”

It was a bit awkward until we arrived at the restaurant,

They started laughing and chatting again as they ate as if it had just happened.

‘… Even in a fantasy world, human relationships are difficult.’

**

The next morning.

“…! Rai… Elena…!”

To do do do do!

Bell, who decided to meet at the cafe in the school,

She waited in front of the cafe and hugged Elena.

Pook!

“Ahahahaha… Bell. How are you?”

“…Yes.”

“It hasn’t been long since we broke up, so what?”

Chuck.

I felt a huge hand behind my shoulder and turned my head.

“…”

Slightly tanned Morhan was waving with a soft smile as always.

‘It feels like it’s been a while.’

Seeing your face almost every day at school,

Seeing it for the first time in a while made me feel welcome.

Sir.

“Looks a bit burnt out? How’s your training going?”

Nod.

“Yes. It’s hot, so let’s go to the cafe first.”

After entering the cafe.

“There, suddenly, Rai is in the sky..!!”

“… Cool…”

“The branches of the World Tree are ho-roll-roll!”

– Nod.

Elena was excited to see the faces of her friends after a long absence.

Around the time she began to tell Bell and Mor Han about what had happened in the Elven forest, putting her body movements to the fullest.

-Tillon!

The notification on the smart watch rang.

The place where Selina, Neneto, and 2 teams are together is a group chat room.

-Selina: So are you all at school now?

“And at the end, that woman and Rai…!”

“Guys. Look this way.”

“… Huh?”

-Click!

Elena, who expresses the wings of Burimi with her arms realistically,

Morhan nodding with a serious expression, and Bell with twinkling eyes.

“… I took a rough shot, but it came out well.”

“What? Did you take a picture?!”

“Yes. I’ll post it in the group chat room.”

Let’s post a picture in the group chat like that.

-Neneto: hahahaha looks fun.

-Yoon Mi-rae: Ugh… I’m not there.

Come to think of it, Yoon Mirae seems busy these days..

At that time.

-Tiririri!!!

A call was received on the smart watch.

Click.

“Hello?”

-… So, are you free now?

It’s Selina.

“Hmm… Nothing else to do?”

-Good. So, do you want to go play with the kids?

“Are you done with your work? There’s work in the house.”

-… Don’t talk. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, so I don’t know what he’s doing, but he’s busy so he doesn’t even show his face.

“Really?”

-If I had known it would be like this, I would have been at school too.

“Okay. Then I’ll ask the kids.”

-Yes. To be precise, it’s not like we’re going out to play, but… Wouldn’t it be better this way?

?

‘What else is it that isn’t completely fun?’

-It’s a secret.

I can feel the crooked eye smile through the phone.

“… OK. Let’s talk about the rest via chat.”

-Yes. You need to let us know soon!

Dude.

After hanging up the phone,

All eyes were on me.

“Is it Selina?”

“Yes. We all want to go out together this time?”

It’s not exactly that I’m going to play, but I said let’s go,

I don’t know what you’re talking about…

“Really?! I like it!”

“…Is it possible…Maybe?”

“…”

Bell also said that his work was almost done.

All that remains is Morhan…

… Nod.

Fortunately, Morhan doesn’t seem to be in a hurry.

Yes.

‘It’s time to take a break…’

Still, during this summer vacation,

I think I can spend a little bit of a vacation like a vacation.
