She quickly tossed the parchment on the floor and dodged it, which really surprised me a little. Booung, it was because the sound of the sword flying was quite loud.
‘Oh, even if it rots, it’s a juniper.’
Certainly, the change in reach made it a little difficult. To be precise, it was a pity that the limbs of this body were short.
“Ha, ha, ha! Do you think it’s okay to just run away? What’s wrong!!”
It’s a counter if you touch it, but before you can touch it, that blind sword is spinning around.
‘If I had jumped on the stairs, I would have rather pushed them.’
At the same time she thought so, she made up her mind. It’s a sword that she wield in fear anyway. It would destroy itself if left alone, but there was not enough time.
‘I mean I have a lot of work to do today.’
She finally decided to put up with a bit of annoyance.
‘I don’t think I’ve had a fight or two.’
In the last episode, even if she just thought of the rough fight to become the family head, it’s over hundreds of times. What if they were added to the war? What she chose was to take some risks.
‘That guy’s no good.’
She had been avoiding it very well, but when she pressed her face with the sword, Karon hesitated, albeit for a very short time.
‘Yes. Do you have any thoughts?’
From the thought of what if I really hurt my immediate family, to the pure hesitation of a child who has yet to commit his first murder. He didn’t become an idiot or an idiot like my older brothers. She took advantage of the moment when the sword stopped and easily avoided it, but the blade lightly grazed her cheek. At the same time, she raised her foot and poked Karon’s stomach. It was a very refreshing blow. It’s going to hurt quite a bit from the weight.
Clink!!
“Coke! Cough Cough! Kellogg!”
“You’re seeing this because you hold each weapon out of proportion.”
She said calmly and went back to pick up the parchment. No, she was trying to pick it up. At the same time, she felt a tingling sensation on her back, and she sighed and moved quickly.
“Gee, what is this?”
When she turned her head at the familiar voice, the sword was floating in the air, wrapped in water. It was the power of water.
‘Anyone who can use the power of water in this elementary educational institution.’
As expected, Layla was standing where she looked. In the back, she could see the teachers, but they were all hidden by Layla. She looked at her and Karon once with a rough and flawless face and then walked away.
“The sword on the chest of drawers is not intended to intimidate classmates, Karon-kun.”
In a way, it was an insensitive and businesslike tone. But for some reason, she saw a sharp shining gaze, albeit for a moment.
“The fact that there was so much bloodshed in this building that I represent is not very pleasant.”
“L-Layla-sama, that, that eye…”
“With power comes responsibility. These are the basics taught in all whale classes. I don’t think there’s any way Karon-kun doesn’t know this.”
“That eye, that’s that…!!”
“All right. The rest will be heard in the disciplinary room.”
Layla nodded with her firm words, and the teachers standing behind her took Caron away with a businesslike look. It seemed to give her a glance for a very short time, but only for a moment. Soon, only her and Laila were left in the hallway. She was still hesitant to pick up the parchment again, so she straightened out her body.
“Thank you.”
At her greeting, Layla only slightly raised her eyebrows. With a rough and businesslike face.
“It is not something to be greeted with. As the head of this educational institution, I was just doing what I was supposed to do.”
“But, Layla, you never act outside of formal disciplinary meetings, do you?”
A person she knew named Layla was like that. It was in the previous episode, but it didn’t seem like she was a different person now.
“I know she would have had a hard time stepping out of a situation where she didn’t know what caused it. Still, thank you for helping me.”
Layla’s expression, which was staring at me, blurred for a moment.
“Because you are the one who must remain neutral at all times and listen to the circumstances of both sides.”
She remembered the distant past that was fair. She was the one who took her side, whether she wanted to or not, in that fairness.
“Thank you.”
“…You’re not sure if I’m talking to an honor student from an intermediate institution.”
Layla let out a small sigh.
“I’ll tell you in advance, even if there had been another child in the princess’s place a moment ago, I would have blocked that sword. Because that is my role.”
Well, if it weren’t for me, Karon wouldn’t have been able to wield her sword.
“Well, who knows I might have developed a huge grudge against Karon. Even so, I’ll think she sided with me and blocked it. thank you.”
As she said this, Layla’s expression softened. She tried to touch her hair, which was pulled tight, but then stopped and exhaled.
“You are a very special person.”
With Layla’s exhalation, her stream of water dropped the sword, and this time she came over to me and picked up her parchment. Reluctantly, she received the parchment.
“There is no need to explain the circumstances. I heard it all.”
“You heard?”
“Because the hallway on the first floor of the entry-level institution is not a soundproof place.”
Killer whales could use the power of water and have excellent five senses. It seemed that he came here because he heard the sound. Less work to explain. But she was a bit suspicious. If she had listened to the conversation, she could have been even more unaware of the context.
“Well, it’s a little strange to say that. Do I have to go to the disciplinary room too?”
“You don’t have to.”
Because she openly provoked Charon in the middle.
‘I don’t know if I’m going to the disciplinary room together and talking about the circumstances.’
At least she didn’t think she was in a situation where she would take her side without hesitation.
“You don’t have to go to the disciplinary room, Princess. Because he doesn’t want it.”
“He?”
“Yes.”
Layla’s stream of water caught me and carefully lifted her up. Thanks to that, she floated up and met Layla and her face.
“Pierre asked me to take good care of Calypso.”
“…uh?”
She paused.
‘Did I just hear wrong?’
There was no time to maintain this composure. She naturally showed a surprised expression, but quickly hid it, but it was already exposed.
“I am indebted to Pierre.”
No matter how she interpreted her expression, Layla smiled slightly.
“No, more accurately, I should say that I am a follower of Pierre-sama.”
No, what was it? Layla was Pierre’s? Daddy’s? It’s amazing, but… What surprised her was not the point.
‘Dad asked her to take good care of me? Why? When?’
The lips twitched and closed again. She wanted to ask properly, but she had to be careful.
‘I’ve got it right now…!’
If she said the wrong thing, she could have caught this lie. She took a deep breath.
‘Ha, I’m curious, how should I ask?’
It was a perfect self-contradiction. As if Layla understood her, she said with a very slight smile. Of course, she didn’t really know her heart at all.
“Of course, this is my first time doing something like this. He also gives orders like this.”
“Uh…”
She laughed awkwardly. Ha ha ha? …Couldn’t it be? A cold sweat ran down her back.
* * *
What? What happened? After Layla’s release, she climbed into her wagon and broke into a cold sweat. Seeing her appearing after a long time, the attendant put on a look that had a lot to say, but for some reason he didn’t speak. It was a good thing for her. It was not pleasant to have to sweat profusely throughout the silent time because of that.
‘Note… What do we do? Can I go today?’
It was everyday like always. After the educational institution, heading to the building where dad lives. But her feet only felt heavy.
‘Um, I went and didn’t find a really scary daddy waiting for me?’
She imagined it.
“…You seem to have had a good time fooling me all this time?”
“Was it fun? I didn’t even know they were all in the palm of my hand.”
The look of her father talking was so bloody. She thought about why not to go. However, it was impossible not to see it forever. To put it mildly, she was cautious about selling first.
‘Okay, I’ll have to face it first, then I’ll know what happened!’
So when she arrived at Pierre’s house, her clothes were already damp. SheI stared at the parchment in her arms with a complicated expression.
‘Um, I think I was in a good mood when I checked this.’
She sighed deeply. Today, it felt like the castle of the devil emitting full demon energy, but what could she do? She gotta go.
‘Hey, let’s go, go.’
