443.
“It seems they’ve figured out Arron’s identity.”
Mellina said with a slightly troubled expression.
“That guy probably anticipated this to some extent.”
“What should we do?”
“I don’t think those three will tell anyone else about it.”
All three were former student council presidents.
They wouldn’t be unaware of the repercussions that would occur if the fact that Arron had revealed himself in this era became known.
“Even so, I’ll have a separate talk with them.”
“Alright.”
Leo nodded at Mellina’s words.
Leo looked at Arron, who was guiding the graduates, and fell into thought.
‘You’re preparing in your own way.’
“And Leo.”
“What.”
“About what you mentioned before.”
“Yeah.”
“I think next week would be fine.”
Leo nodded at that question.
“Got it.”
***
The third week of the training camp.
Splash-
“I feel alive~”
“I’ve been waiting for this moment~”
The 2nd year students, who had now settled into the campsite, had successfully solved all their basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter.
“Who would have thought we’d even build a bathhouse here?”
“I like it though? Selia was happy about it too.”
Chen Xia replied with a smile to Selia’s muttering.
“That’s true.”
Even though they were Hero Candidates, they were still adolescent students.
There were plenty of students who cared about their appearance even in extreme environments.
As a result, the students’ desire to maintain cleanliness even when thrown into the wilderness only grew stronger.
Eventually, that’s why they ended up building a bathhouse.
They were soaking in hot water, washing away the fatigue of the day.
“Those 1st year brats! Huh? While we seniors are suffering like this! Huh? They’re living comfortably with their legs stretched out?”
That’s when Iliana’s sharp voice was heard.
Iliana, who had entered the bathhouse, was grabbing Nella and grumbling.
“I was feeling sorry for them thinking the 1st years were suffering like us! What am I supposed to do with this sense of betrayal!”
“Do you want to take your anger out on the underclassmen for that reason?”
Nella shook her head.
Yesterday, it was revealed that unlike the 2nd years who were spending hellish days thrown into the wilderness, the 1st years were having their training camp in a very good environment.
“I want to have a campfire too! Always eating delicious food! Busy having fun every night! I dreamed of that kind of training camp too! I want to sit in front of a campfire and become a filial daughter thinking about my parents’ grace!”
The Lumern female students turned away from Iliana, who was waving both arms and shouting as if it was unfair.
Iliana, who had entered the hot spring like that, muttered.
“By the way, even though this is an open-air bath, there are no perverted kids thinking of peeping.”
“Who would be stupid enough to do such a thing?”
Naturally, since these were people gathered who were called geniuses of aura, magic, and summoning, it was impossible to escape the female students’ eyes.
It would literally be a suicidal act.
At those words, Iliana said.
“Why? The Class President has that kind of ability, doesn’t he?”
“Leo wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“The Class President is still a man though.”
Iliana muttered quietly at Nella’s words, but no student agreed.
“Stop thinking such foolish thoughts.”
Chelsea scolded her.
Iliana, who had been pouting her lips at that, grinned mischievously.
“What’s with that wicked smile?”
When Chelsea narrowed her eyes, Iliana shook her head.
“No, just. I thought you’re definitely young. Compared to that.”
Iliana looked at Chen Xia.
“Sia is definitely an older sister, older sister. Mm-hmm! Gack! Gurgle-!”
Iliana, who had been teasing for no reason and got kicked by Chelsea, floundered around.
After a brief commotion.
“Ah! By the way, did you hear?”
“What story?”
“There’s no training tomorrow!”
“What are you talking about?”
Everyone’s eyes widened at Iliana’s sudden words.
“Tomorrow is free time! We can go play in Delan, the capital of the Delard Kingdom! We just need to return the day after tomorrow!”
“What?!”
“Really!”
“You’re not lying, right?”
The female students widened their eyes and crowded around Iliana.
“Of course~ It’s information I heard from Cal, so it’s certain!”
“Liberation from this hell!”
“Even though it’s just for one day! We can rest comfortably!”
“Hooray!”
***
The next morning.
Mellina appeared during morning roll call.
“You’ve all worked hard training for the past 3 weeks. You’ve all endured the harsh schedule well. So for 1 night and 2 days, we’re giving you an outing permission…”
“Waaaaaaah! Freedom!”
“Those who shouted. Come to the back right now.”
The faces of the students who had shouted turned pale at Riennia’s cold voice.
While several students were receiving punishment, Mellina finished with a bright smile.
“I hope everyone has an enjoyable outing.”
***
Arron’s eyes widened greatly at the scene unfolding before him.
The place where Arron was standing was none other than the streets of Delan.
“So this is a city of the current era.”
Arron exclaimed in admiration.
Although it was a weak nation on the frontier, as the capital of a country, the streets were full of vitality.
Watching carriages and people coming and going, Arron was busy turning his head this way and that.
Watching that sight, Chelsea muttered.
“Doesn’t watching Arron make you feel a little anxious?”
“About what?”
“I feel like we need to take good care of him. How should I put it, like watching a child left by the waterfront?”
“Isn’t it really funny that you, who acts the most like a child, are saying that?”
Cal giggled.
At that, Chelsea didn’t hesitate to deliver a drop kick to Cal’s side.
Cal collapsed miserably and groaned while clutching his side for a while before struggling to get back up.
“By the way, Leo and Chelsea. Lord assigned you two to guide Arron?”
“Yes!”
Chelsea proudly puffed out her chest.
For a Hero Candidate, personally guiding a Great Hero who only existed in childhood fairy tales was an honor beyond measure.
“That Ar girl was practically wailing as Runia dragged her away.”
Ar had volunteered to guide Arron, but was rejected.
It was because of Mellina’s concern that Arron, who secretly feared Ar, might not be able to comfortably enjoy the present.
“But they agreed to stay in the same dormitory in the evening.”
Chelsea and Cal shook their heads thinking about Ar.
“Cal, what are you going to do?”
“Heh. I’m going to get some items to secretly smuggle inside. They’ll sell for a high price, right?”
“You’ll be in terrible trouble if you get caught, won’t you?”
“I just won’t get caught. Just won’t get caught.”
Cal giggled.
Watching Cal like that, Chelsea shook her head.
“You sure talk big in front of Leo.”
Leo, the Student Council President, had reported Cal to the Student Council several times for cleverly breaking school rules.
“He said he’d overlook light prohibited items if it’s not serious! Hehehehe!”
Cal laughed confidently.
“Let’s see how well you do.”
“Right. Well then, have a good time! Lord Arron! I’ll see you in the evening!”
Cal greeted them and left.
Arron waved to Cal and then approached Chelsea to speak.
“Chelsea. I’ll buy you that. Let’s eat together.”
Arron pointed to the ice cream being sold at a street stall.
“Yes! Lord Arron!”
Lunchtime.
Following Leo’s recommendation, the three arrived at a hidden restaurant in Delan.
It wasn’t a fancy restaurant, but since Leo, who had lived in Delan, recommended it, the taste was extremely satisfying.
“Phew.”
Chelsea, sitting on a bench near the restaurant, muttered while basking in the bright summer sunlight.
“I’m happy. This is what living is about.”
Having been cooped up in the mountains for three whole weeks, Chelsea found the current situation extremely enjoyable.
As Chelsea was giggling happily, Arron approached her.
“Chelsea. The sunlight is strong. Your skin will burn. I bought you a hat.”
“Thank you!”
“I also bought drinks. Let’s have them for dessert.”
“Yes!”
Chelsea put on the wide-brimmed hat she received from Arron and took a sip of the iced drink with a smile, when she suddenly gasped, widened her eyes, and jumped up from her seat.
“W-wait a minute! Something’s wrong here!”
At Chelsea’s urgent cry, Arron, who was bringing the straw to his lips, opened his eyes wide.
Leo asked with a puzzled expression.
“What’s wrong?”
“Leo is helping Lord Arron with his sightseeing! But what about me? Lord Arron is just taking care of me! I should be guiding Lord Arron too!”
Since coming to the city, Leo had taken on the role of guide for Arron.
The reason for creating this free time in the first place was to let Arron enjoy the current era.
Although Arron had firmly declined, saying he would help the future generation grow, Leo had forcibly created a day’s time for Arron.
In such a situation, Arron was carefully taking care of Chelsea as if she were his younger sister.
For Chelsea, who had been full of enthusiasm about being assigned to guide the Great Hero who saved the world, the current situation was bewildering.
“I like it this way.”
“Pardon?”
“Ar, Runia, Eiran, Driana, Cal are like Berkia.”
For Arron, Berkia was a younger sibling, but before that, a disciple.
A disciple to stand together with on the battlefield.
A precious younger sibling who had helped and been helped countless times.
“But Chelsea. You remind me of my childhood siblings.”
“Your childhood siblings?”
“Yes.”
Arron smiled bitterly.
“The siblings I couldn’t protect because of my inadequacy.”
The siblings from the orphanage.
Siblings who were far too young to die.
“If I hadn’t acted foolishly back then… they might have all grown up and seen this blue sky.”
Arron looked up at the blue sky.
“That’s why I want to take care of you. Is it uncomfortable?”
“No. How should I put it. Being taken care of like this makes me not know what to do with myself. My brother and Leo look after me fondly, but they don’t take care of me this attentively, so it’s unfamiliar. Should I say I’m happy.”
Watching Chelsea roll her eyes around, Arron laughed.
“Then keep me company.”
“Yes! But if you only take care of me like this, won’t Leo feel a little left out?”
When Chelsea looked at Leo and spoke, Arron chuckled.
“Leo will be fine. Right?”
“Don’t worry about me.”
“See?”
At Leo’s answer, Chelsea nodded.
“Then shall we start moving?”
“Then next, I’d like to visit the library.”
At Arron’s answer, Leo nodded.
‘Leo is amazing.’
Watching that scene, Chelsea burst into laughter.
At first, she was surprised to see Leo speaking comfortably with Arron.
‘Cal too, and the other kids too. They said they talked as equals with the Great Heroes they met in the Heroes’ World, right?’
Whenever she heard those stories, she always thought it was amazing yet typical of the confident Leo.
‘Lord Arron also seems to treat Leo more comfortably. Should I call it Leo’s charm?’
Chelsea smiled brightly while watching the two people walking ahead.
Then she suddenly paused while watching Arron conversing with Leo.
Leo and Arron seemed like friends.
But on the other hand, their relationship felt strangely familiar to Chelsea.
‘Where have I seen this before?’
Chelsea, who had been tilting her head, remembered something.
Arron’s appearance resembled herself relying on Leo as a younger sibling.
‘Huh?’
Chelsea made a blank expression.
She voiced a question filled with bewilderment and confusion.
“Huh?”
