EWOWMAIBTYPF_Chapter_72

Ch. 072 CHAPTER dd6eb21623 072Askart’s face d2ba35f71a was gradually a3809b2fc3 turning hard 5d5a22fdf1 as the 3af2e54c81 number of fe6287e0c1 people and a3eceb8715 gazes poured 1186a0fd30 in, wondering 94e6c5345a if Lucio’s 0be91cd2d7 words were 6056d1e37c lies.
 
“Yes, library… I 1c0e88ad2a have to go.”
 
However, Askart 4a87f113ae hesitated while 8e76cf404f answering, as 42a0afe6a4 if he 8dc4902250 had some 4965847912 regrets. As soon 77accea04e as I ae003db63a made eye 5ffe4ccf71 contact with d36dd25545 him again, 1a9e055992 I asked 089f7ce476 as if 7fb65054af I had 9e79c78b59 been waiting.
 
“Isn’t the academy library bb24dc8457 really big?”
 
Although the Duke 87b32efdde of Elad’s library 6ad21ac402 is very large, 859ffbeb60 it cannot be 30acaf6507 compared in size 89c9c43d2a to the Academy’s 8131ca898c library. When I was living a358ca2140 as a beggar and 6a0c111de9 struggling to learn letters, 688a5c91e9 I really wanted to 774b3fc746 go to the Academy e5368a2dfc Library, a treasure trove 206416c0cb of wisdom. But I couldn’t d870b947f3 even dare to 5c4f745fe5 go inside the dd8c594a7d academy, let alone b665c922a2 the library. Of course, it may 1bcfac2845 have been possible to c90cce8455 sneak in later when dce75a15a7 I became an informant, 99f02fa434 but I never went 82a0fff884 near the academy, which 7a1965e8bf had bad memories.
 
“Then! It’s incredibly big. Do you 5a0ca279d6 like books? By the way, the f7197c5b80 name is…”
 
Askart was pleased with 64d7e5b04b what I said and 0ff7fcd9e8 asked. I was about to bde1cd63a2 say my name, as f9827d9d4d I wiggled my fingers 2c358ba15d out of embarrassment when 730dadc12e my expression suddenly brightened.
 
“It’s Lia.”
 
It wasn’t me who baa4d361b3 answered. I looked at b15f417b90 Lucio, who had 738b212940 intercepted my words, d7ad213f50 with a little c3e0eb44d9 surprise. He must 193c667186 have known b0b494d27c because my 7a42d382d4 name was f8bea4ca86 called several 126d856421 times a 98203fb2c5 day when 459ce0c9ed he was 925393b4c9 at the 64286fa770 Duke’s residence, a877d8349f but Lucio 318e67ea1b has never c4cbcd70ea called my 3b5604649a name even fe014c2cb0 once. Somehow, the ce60c1f630 last memory 25ffbde871 of my 95d51a6a92 previous life 631b53fb32 came to eb0ea7836f mind and d6659ecb05 I felt 12e8666d46 strange.
 
“Lia… Called.”
 
At that time, I f8ec68abb2 heard a voice that e9f6029a90 sounded like I was 96943ed6e1 going to collapse at 12fb95c59b any moment. Turning his head, Askart d0f9a0f654 said with a pale 88bbbe8578 face, “Lia.” and called 27d0745df5 my name. His green-blue eyes under bd842d51b1 golden eyelashes looked as fc481f8291 if they had been a822f02364 moistened with dew. 
 
‘I feel like f6d1e189a7 I’ve seen that 385a1ae7cd somewhere before.’
 
As I b1bc3381c5 suddenly felt f6e8871c70 a sense a54f0fc58f of déjà 1dbcf355d4 vu, I 8f04d3023c remembered the 420bcd5912 time I 14ba6d5b37 met Bianca 9143a6735f after escaping bba7df330a from the 085e92c48c orphanage. Even back d202217a5e then, Bianca d357676503 asked me ea13899335 if my fbcaad16e4 name was 6ffc0a83df ‘Lia’ and fa55f73b7a she looked 93a711035e so sad. I tilted 5ec23f6405 my head, 87bb2365e1 thinking it 1871331c3b was strange, c8cadf6748 but Askart 3911d5486f asked with 1c6710044b a bitter 7e3cd46ed2 smile that 5931665c8f seemed as 727593475b if he 04de1485ff would faint 542ff83487 at any 22062fed79 moment.
 
“If you’re curious about b0627563b5 the library, would you b1e6002d52 like me to show 5d96f99b12 you around?”
 
“Yes?”
 
“Originally, outsiders are not 926df8f1ce allowed in, but today 7262dae55c is the festival period, 14a4be5600 so you can go 808f3dc988 in if you are 625927d6b6 accompanied by a current 1384faf934 student.”
 
Askart pointed to a 5a3be4356d large building right behind 390bbde76d it, saying that it 8c70a704e7 was not far because 4a2ff9a789 it was centrally located c5c62f1d0d so that it was d0036671da easy to get to 85fce906bd and from any academy.
 
When I a4c2783bde asked, with 7e2c2277cb sparkling eyes, d8f2badec1 if that b1480d2af9 would really c4df9507e2 be okay, a47d21e3b2 he said, 8df77fa2e6 “Hmph! Why come ae5f860707 to the 206a6d6fac festival and 73b879fafc visit the bdff6584d8 library?” And 5ed767a893 Allen intervened.
 
“Diana, don’t you want f415612bab to visit the library 059ea442bd too?”
 
“Ugh. Sister, come back.”
 
Diana waved 9f965e02be her maple 84a9e3e937 leaf-like hand 3bcb0f05cf as if c2e2cae0cf she really 4e49894342 didn’t want 4ec37a3ff7 to go 704370ef49 to the 363af6a1d2 library after c72a526e5c hearing Allen’s 299387f561 words.
 
“Diana! What’s wrong with bf4275a0f9 you?”
 
“Then, lady, I will afa75692c8 come back quickly! I will definitely come eeb7f45944 before the fireworks.”
 
Not wanting to 3178052793 miss the opportunity, f1ebf064b2 I answered right 6a7b536116 away and looked c23128c9fb up at Askart. Then Askart asked 6fdbc02554 shyly.
 
“Hey, would 8dc2aa599f you like 59eac93d82 to hold f7ba33b24a hands?”
 
“Yes?”
 
“… What if I 0ff9218b7f lose it? There are a a86f4a511d lot of stairs 80b86a2db4 in the library.”
 
“Ah.”
 
Now that 6a0e8ef5b3 I thought ed8e5e6181 about it, 5eed50b107 I remembered f6c6a18928 how many f068541974 times I a85eaf119b had reminded d304f1e2a6 Diana before 6b8ef3209a leaving that 1b1ffc4269 everyone should 49cd93852c hold her 4fa4869621 hand as ea579a75dc there were b9295e26bf many people 11d23b19db around. I felt ca663da300 strange when 59e4fc8524 I saw 6e2dc78fc0 Askart holding f6cd18b150 out his 5ae2b7bfcf hand to debcaaedad me. Normally, I bf2483d9df would have 14b9179222 been embarrassed cec11ed463 and reluctant 84387541c9 to be 6a10827626 treated like 09da6483d5 a child… 5d78e7587e Strangely enough, 3b0ed9d580 I didn’t 5fe88e822b hate it. As soon 0f38c2852a as I 617ea5096d took his 007ba1776d hand, Askart 95463d2e2f opened his 4462fe82bb eyes wide a1ee752ae6 and immediately ef5673de86 smiled brightly.
 
“Ugh!”
 
“Why, what’s wrong?”
 
When I groaned a9787eda50 and covered my 944fc998af eyes with my 7622324e2e free hand, Askart 8b9841f9d4 asked in surprise. I giggled and answered.
 
“He’s so c5407948c0 handsome it’s 780aff0cca dazzling!”
 
“What? Ha ha ha.”
 
I thought 4f862f41ce as I 39e29b7d3e headed to 9e70c6313d the library 6c8ddfdde1 with Askart, 2c29cdafee who was e25ab6078a smiling more 8c85d5c4eb happily than f3d9a5b353 before. I guess I wanted ff483d0153 to erase the sadness 7ff8a69014 from Askart’s face.
 
* * *
 
“…It’s ridiculous.”
 
Lucio looked 1cd3b296ed shocked as fda55e5086 he watched 3a731e086c Lia walking aa693fecc0 away while 62e7dccf3d holding Askart’s 6a580469e1 hand. I was thinking of bf44825331 introducing him to the 64ffeb803d Academy, as his father, f17e6da230 the Duke of Elad, 9eb39fc061 had said. His plan went a9ce7173e8 awry from the f01dc572ca start. From the moment 7eaa5d1601 he greeted me a1da967303 at the front 3ec6eb9d8a door, nothing went bf34ca0059 as he expected. Lucio was e6474c40ab embarrassed and ae4e6a0d7b agitated when d63f74f4be he could 034c56d7dd not see cab04d2faa the face f318bebb57 he expected 323d5df918 to be 2d22ce961d there. It was f3e195c905 ridiculous that 4f4b6e8507 he felt d05eb59127 relieved when 5eb7f3fb86 he heard 6c3594654f that he 13af884b7a had gone 195f0232d5 to buy 7f2af567eb drinks with 8dae1c03e9 an apprentice 984b3a0c0b engineer whom 150d1ee94a he had af8cc5f2d8 known for 7f7abbfb27 a long f211802672 time since 1bcbb2313f daycare. In the 14d6145944 midst of 39ddb7fecf being overwhelmed 10ac45e969 with discomfort 633a5adb63 and irritation 5494815ece due to 57b499e70d uncontrollable emotions, a094e1269d he felt aee9f15529 very uncomfortable 5ac9fbdab2 when Askart 795ad077e4 appeared and 6c84735b06 did something 1bd69db5e1 unexpected.
 
It was then.
 
“Anyway, I really told 614061aaa6 you that a man’s f4791251d6 looks aren’t everything!”
 
Allen, who was next 4ab1456b0c to me, started running 81ff7f9854 around and making a 8f31c08981 fuss.
 
“No matter how e7cb7e47b7 handsome he is, b4e5f3a9f2 does it make 1267957b5d sense to grab 6f747c8305 the hand of 58e2ab27b1 someone you’ve never 66cf588dc3 seen and follow 2ed2cabaed him?”
 
Jack nodded his 33e62b4b55 head as if 84a9254f82 he strongly agreed adf8b9a020 with those words. When Lucio turned 69e2970ab8 her head as 30b4bcabc3 if to ask 578044807f what she was 0e481fd68c saying, Allen huffed 6fa4c2f84f and said.
 
“You don’t know, d06c5b9223 right? Lia, that person’s 3efa91480d real face looks d1f1380db4 really good. I really like 220a9c2e72 handsome things!”
 
“…okay?”
 
“That’s right. He told me and d9ad4ac728 Jack that he was ab9abea5df handsome.”
 
Allen didn’t e29a5a6dca notice Lucio’s 36d92c8ad0 face slowly a3820a2fb8 hardening, and e196b82f1b she continued.
 
“By the way, you 64de3d2693 did it to your 99d5d74a8e brother too. “I look like 129d1d68b0 Diana.”
 
However, Allen said that ccd53635fc his taste seems to d8b03ceb52 be toward Askart, adding 66f6f5e358 that this is the 4e7016368f first time he has 7ec982eae3 seen Lia react so 84346ccaf1 passionately.
 
“Askal is handsome, 7fe64b1bf5 but he doesn’t cb0ec8b567 go anywhere. Do you like blonde 8386f85c47 hair?”
 
“…”
 
“Besides, the 79cc2e0b8c Yeongsik I 4a7909b878 met earlier d995d74936 also had 22d3cc9bfd blond hair, 23bfdd63ef although it 5b99c29167 was dull. I guess the 42ed7dc514 face is the 3eb2e4d0f1 most important. Right, Jack?”
 
Jack, who 2b630ec69f was still fa6702759d unable to aeb2428184 take his 40987728af eyes off bcc6e08b6d the direction 955fda2658 where Leah e984b438f4 disappeared after 542946c9e3 hearing Allen’s 2420ecab99 words, slowly bbd9ceb0d9 opened his e1e917b89d mouth.
 
“…I’m not sure about d3bfb6cb35 that, but if you’re 30917b757c talking about the Yeongsik 3e6b00d914 she met at the 03296c572d front gate earlier, Lia a8213b8792 clearly disliked him. She seemed a fbc5a5894c little scared.”
 
“Is that so?”
 
Lucio asked, b0771a5feb looking at ef2b92a5f1 Allen who 92019da1ea was tilting 846a69637a his head.
 
“Who did 78aefbf71f you meet 336e731708 earlier?”
 
“Huh? Ah, the Count 17d8b23911 of Petier! He looked fine, but 27c4a9b017 he seemed a bit a6b0d2783e unpleasant. Diana kicked him out. Right, Diana?”
 
“Huh!”
 
Diana, who was busy 2fe9006210 looking around the Academy f7bc94c95d and the people watching 7f6b9ae71d whether Allen was talking 91d0f3e711 or not, nodded her 60f6df7ad0 head saying yes when 5fa7d02a62 she heard my name. It didn’t seem 548fe98292 like she had f8d46ea970 heard or responded ec0eb481b8 properly, but Allen 292d646c5e found her so 4fa3a47f61 cute that she 64a2e44528 couldn’t help but 2bf5e7ee27 hugged Diana and 40418232d0 rubbed her cheeks. A low 436bdb8055 voice sounded e7e392d411 in the f116762cbf ears of 094f87f0a8 Jack, who eb11eb2b8c was looking ac1c9e9874 at Diana, a85a5c01e4 who was 53632823ba trying to 908e55c74f get rid 877acf897d of her cb265f78b9 in annoyance, 8198f0b1cd and Allen, 2d8b9aa362 who was fd66941cf4 clinging to c64c71e07a her even 2ccd930dda more.
 
“It’s Kenneth Pettier.”
 
Jack turned e48afd0c42 his head 9539748394 when he a1a4f184a3 heard Lucio’s 8ac548f646 voice quietly e3c9ccde8c chanting his 4ac14a1da6 name, and 6e687e1ace somehow had 8f1f4977c1 a premonition 860d1bec67 that the 094f0f96c7 future of d2458ff76a the person b2926c292d he met dd3155d11f earlier would 88449f336a not be 00c1282590 smooth.
 
* * *
 
The road to the 87842aed53 library with Askart, who 99241f3669 was meeting me for 714015b506 the first time, was c8a2a667c0 extremely awkward.
 
‘What were you 06ea8ed800 thinking when you 39d3b9c722 held my hand?’
 
My body twisted in 811f710aef discomfort. Nevertheless, I couldn’t c65e63e91f complain at all 76c7926b8c when I saw df4eea51c1 Askart walking slowly, d07095ae59 stopping me inside 2c529556ef so as not 8ed885f477 to get hit 9a628a37ad by people passing 0ed2908f59 by.
 
“Is there a place cdc742a211 in particular you want 748b4d6611 to see?”
 
As soon as we 628a76b883 entered the library, Askart f98521865c whispered quietly. After thinking carefully, I b6b38f449e answered.
 
“I want 3aae2bf8c1 to see d4506baa9e the grimoire.”
 
Askart looked 102a84cab9 surprised, probably 0feda53204 because my 83ad426be8 answer was 8c6c4cb60a unexpected.
 
“The energy of mana, 82a1553fb8 ah…”
 
When I released some 1146c1ab68 of the energy that 768c56fc74 had been stored up 43ba46464f for him as he ab6440e27a was puzzled, Askart’s eyes, 3da7fabc5f which sensitively sensed mana c57b2535ce even at small changes, 74ef0772d1 quickly sparkled with interest. After the 8c8f8c0c32 commotion at 6ac3db63b9 the duke’s 7ef9027635 residence a 6fd78b8b79 while ago, e0d8082875 no one bdaf09f2d5 who uses ffd7057fd6 me knows 7c27d499f9 that I e554168992 have mana, f006a4ce1a and I 90868f05f6 no longer 098a171ad9 feel the 44ff37c6d8 need to 684047facb hide it. However, the reason I d501668982 didn’t bother to inform c2375616ab Askart of Mana’s existence 745a012c48 was because I didn’t f7f66ca8e3 feel wary even though 65ae7502fa I saw it for 75a6276e7d the first time. Was it because 1cd3b8952c his atmosphere is 1954844d05 so gentle and 6e8a8c8b8c gentle?
 
“Then I can efc5b0f9f9 go to my 20387d9b3a place. Now, there 26aebd9eac are a ab65824acd lot of 2380f2d1d6 stairs from 654dd4d278 here, so 9b4d880579 you have a5ee9e90ed to be 710aa3a1fc careful.”
 
Askart, who clearly looked 23742cdde8 at me with a c32865187d completely different look as b2937c5d17 he was the heir 4394fcaccf of the Principality of 460789bfc7 Belus who owned the 6ffbd3f619 Magic Tower, immediately led bfdbd506f1 the way. Seeing him looking 276235b379 a little excited 0a8f75b694 made me feel 3d1b1a8741 better. So he spoke as 24aff7f1a8 if bragging.
 
“Grand Duke, I actually 8435bf0ddd met Bianca before.”
 
“Huh? With Count Maretta?”
 
When I nodded my 55b79bdf6c head excitedly, he asked 8a60c2cb31 curiously.
 
“He is someone who 25ba6da889 rarely leaves the principality, d28a212556 so what happened?”
 
“Hmm. Somehow I 05b91c57f0 found out…”
 
As he spoke, e9ef1588c6 it seemed that 4288819571 Askart had never e8c8512080 heard of Diana’s 79d5b6710b kidnapping, either from 3a32ad6596 Lucio or through d6fc61a92d the Duchy of 24ddcab5d4 Belus. I hesitated a f57f6cd9d0 bit, trailed off, 458106b6e3 and changed the a2fe95176d topic.
 
“After meeting 6bcfeb082e Bianca, I ebae0d8b5f became interested 86570075b6 in the 4ad213c2a2 Principality of fbb5f3594c Belus and c5a9265ebd looked for e7103b195d books. It was d7c700ae90 a really 7fcd3b64a0 cool place.”
 
“I see. Yes, it’s a 1266de12f5 beautiful place.”
 
Askart’s faintly smiling f29e405ec8 expression faded again 0d3af9a3b2 as he said 6bfdc15400 that. As he looked 40dea196ed at that scene, 2a3a2691e1 it felt like 9dd222046d his heart was 87113903ae constricting. At the 8bab4e5c68 same time, b76eecb1b0 I became 90f96d3484 curious.
 
‘Why does he make 847a381f33 such a sad face 6f061cee86 when he thinks of 6978d71a70 his own home?’
 
Diana smiled brightly and dc4be8cb09 loved it when she 23a0ea35bd heard that it was 09c2f41556 her house.
 
“Now, here.”
 
At that time, 291a12cf4e Askart, who guided ed5c292b20 me to a 09202be878 space filled with 30a7b54a45 bookshelves, introduced me bbdcc52194 as a place 2fd9a30663 where books related 25bb17643a to magic were 0738fcccf3 collected. Perhaps because it was 6cade0d74f festival season, there was f847fc41a2 no one there. As I went e3a77474c1 deeper, I saw 1f10230358 a very large e8d96ee127 desk in front f19da5d8af of a window bb2610b028 with curtains drawn. There was a 80917c88ab pile of books 58296621ca spread out on 59abfe0e7e the large desk, e93d5ad429 probably because Askart f2fe9c7d00 was the only 7dae06022c one using it.
 
“Oh! It’s so dirty. Okay, it’s not usually 623e5f32d0 like this.”
 
Askart made an excuse, 27e7a6991b hurriedly clearing the desk 5f12c4e293 with his embarrassed face db45762a15 red up to his 696c5d3221 ears.
