Chapter 43: Friends
Translated by: MetaAthena~Happy 4th of July to everyone, even if you don’t live in the USA!
ā€œā€˜Number Three’ is my surname, ā€˜Person’ is my name . In the future, you can call me ā€˜Teacher Three’ or something like that . ā€
Teacher Three’s words astonished the three girls . They really didn’t expect someone to have such a name . However, the name alone as well as the presentation of it really made Three feel powerful . At this moment, Lunaria couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild .
For example, Avalon’s Person Number Three, you hear his name and imagine him to be powerful . Then, you expand your scope of view and realize that , in the Xigely Empire, this man was on the same power level as gods .
ā€œI’m sorry to interrupt your thoughts,ā€ Person started, ā€œBut do you need to ask something? What do you need?ā€
Teacher Three’s words were so sudden, that both Lunaria and Niluka jumped back in surprise . It turns out that Lunaria wasn’t the only one questioning this strange teacher’s name, this other valley girl was also deep in thought .
Still, how did Teacher Three know that they were in thought?
In in instant, Darmiala replied
ā€œWe came here to tour the Yushen building . After all, tomorrow we will officially attending class here, so we wanted to become a little familiar with the facilities . ā€
ā€œSo that’s the reason,ā€ Teacher Three calmly said . He lowered his upper body down so he could properly search around his desk . Then, from the very back of the drawer in his desk, Teacher Three took out a map .
ā€œThis is the map for the entire Yushen building . I’ll assume that it’ll be some use to you . ā€
Darmiala gently took the map and bowed her head while saying
ā€œThank you, teacher . ā€
ā€œNo need to thank me . We’re going to be teacher and student for quite a while, and it’ll be hard to build good relationships later . Treat it like a small gift, for now . So, was there anything else?ā€
ā€œNo, nothing . Well, teacher, we’ll be off to explore other areas . ā€
ā€œAlright, go on ahead . ā€
Darmiala turned around and signaled the others with her eyes before wearing her shoes and walking out the door . The other girls followed her exit out of the room before carefully closing the door behind them .
ā€œNiluka, you’re way too hot-headed . ā€ At this time, Darmiala couldn’t help but chastise Niluka . This made the once energetic girl droop her head with an apologetic appearance . When Darmiala saw how Niluka felt, she couldn’t help but shake her head and smile . It was really hard to scold someone when they looked like that . On the side, Lunaria let out a few hollow laughs while saying
ā€œLet’s go ahead and look at the map . ā€
Darmiala nodded in agreement as she opened up the map .
ā€œCurrently, we areļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼ŽIn this office distict with 13 teachersļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼ŽIt looks we immediatly stepped into a place that we aren’t allowed in . ā€
ā€œBut, we profited from this disaster, right? We got this map?ā€ Niluka, who had just been sad and listless, had recovered enough to have her spirits relit . This happiness and extreme straightforwardness gave the other two quite the headache .
On the other side, Tyre, and his three roommates, began heading the school building, trying to find the rooftop .
ā€œEven though this building looks huge, it really only has a meager four floors . But because there is so much area on each floor, it’s able to accommodate everything needed for teaching . Every single teaching facility is located somewhere on one of these floors . ā€ Constantine once against started up the engine that was his mouth, tirelessly spewing out words and information . Even so, his information really had a lot of reason, so the other three boys weren’t annoyed by it at all .
ā€œWait-wait-wait, look, guys, look!ā€ Constantine abruptly stopped everyone while whispering in a small voice . This sneaky manner made Tyre and the others feel like something was off with this situation . But, just as they were about to ask, Constantine indulged in his own pleasure and said
ā€œTHAT is the girl’s changing room . ā€
This was a piece of information that Tyre really cared about! On the other hand, Claude and Bayun stared at Constantine with cold eyes . Because of this cold mood, Tyre decided to blend in, also pretending to despise Constantine while glaring at him . But Tyre’s glare was so cold, that it made Constantine shudder from head to toe .
ā€œHa ha ha~,ā€ Constantine laughed half-heartedly laughed, ā€œI’m-I’m only joking with you guys . I’m not saying that it’d be great or anything if someone could sneak a few camera stones in and, you know, do that . ā€
Didn’t that just expose exactly what you were thinking?! However, Tyre really didn’t expect this kind of trick . Constantine really was a hard to come by genius when it came to certain thingsļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Ž
ā€œļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žā€
Still, what a shame that, currently, Claude and the other’s continued to glare at Constantine, their eyes ice-cold .
ā€œAre you also talking about Lunaria and Leah too? Peeping on them while they change clothes?ā€ Claude’s tone made Constantine feel like he had been trapped inside an icehouse as he shook his head so violently that it looked like he was being perpetually struck by lightning .
ā€œHo-How could that possibly be? They’re both people of-of the Xavier Duchy . Why would I dare spy upon them? Really, Claude! This joke is going a little overboard! Hahaha!ā€ Constantine forced a laugh . This soft approach to a dangerous topic was really funny to Tyre .
At this time, Bayun stroked his chin , looking pensive, and opened his mouth to say
ā€œSpeaking of which, Constantine, your surname seems to be the same as Darmiala’s, Morpheus . If I remember correctly, Morpheus is the empire’s northern 怐Convictor怑family, right?ā€
Tyre and Claude took note of what Bayun had said . Without attempted to hide the truth, Constantine shrugged and said
ā€œHow did we get to this topic again . ā€
ā€œI noticed this problem a while ago, but it didn’t bother me too much until now, so I didn’t care as much . ā€
ā€œHahaha, Bayun, you shouldn’t mind me at all . After all, I don’t care about your circumstances . ā€
ā€œGet lost!ā€
ā€œAiya, to tell the truth, the怐Convictor怑family is divided into the good side and the bad side . I’m inferior, so my name doesn’t contain the letter【G】in it . If you’re still curious about this, you can go ask Darmiala . If I were to privately talk about that trivial nonsense, she and her old parents, I’m afraid, are all bad apples . ā€ When Constantine talked about Darmiala, his words were packed to the brim with ridicule . Although Tyre knew schemed a lot, he didn’t think she was the type to scheme to harm someone else . Thinking about it, Tyre realized he saw a lot of inter-family struggles similar to Constantine’s . For example, Noah was forced to marry women he despised because of these family driven problems . Tyre thought the water was far too deep to ask questions, so he held back . Naturally, Claude was no idiot either, and neither of them continued to interrogate Constantine . Bayun looked like he wanted to say something, but then he hesitated . Eventually, however, he still spoke up
ā€œOkay, okay . Don’t you guys think it’s a little sad to proceed with such a heavy topic?ā€ Constantine laughed a bit as he walked towards away from the group and opened the second floor’s corridor window . A burst of light wind softly swirled around the boys as it’s warm, Autumn wind soothed everyone’s moods . In the end, everyone relaxed .
ā€œWell, since we’re going to be roomates in our dorm, and classmates in our class, then, from now on as our relationship goes, you are my friend, and I am yours, am I wrong?ā€
His words startled the other three boys .
Friends . When he heard that word, Tyre thought of Sand Sword and the others . The encounter with his initial party was what made Tyre remember the word, friend .
Maybe his encounter with Constantine was an opportunity to fully revive that word, so he could know its true meaning .
Friendļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Žļ¼Ž
ā€œYeah . ā€ Tyre was the first one to respond . Not a moment later, Claude also agreed . As for Bayun, he crossed his arms as he spoke
ā€œIf you call me your brother, then I’ll accept your friendship . ā€
ā€œHahaha, if I were to call you my brother, then how would you fall for me?ā€
ā€œGET LOST!ā€
Even after Bayun rained curses down upon him, Constantine hardly became angry . Instead, his lips curled up in a mischievous laughter as he continued to speak
ā€œThen, let’s walk around and see what kind of equipment and learning facilities lie on the second floor .
ā€œAlright . ā€
The corridor on the second floor ran through the entire building, mimicking it’s concave shape . Tyre and the others started from the middle of the concave corridor and decided to head down the left passageway . They tried many doors, but it was a shame that a big portion of them were locked . Eventually, as they kept walking, they found an acquaintance .
