"What are you doing there?"

Seeing Noah sitting on the tree all the time, clenching the hand engraved with the elven mark, Alice pursed her brows, and her tone was full of sternness. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Don't hurry up yet!"

Hearing this, Noah pursed his lips, got up, supported the trunk of the tree with one hand, and his figure jumped down and landed in front of Alice very lightly.

“――――！”

As Noah fell, Alice, who was less than a meter away from Noah, was immediately pounced on by a masculine aura that was different from the light fragrance on the girl's body, and her whole body stiffened, her face flushed, and she fled in a panic, pointing at Noah with a red face.

"Don't... Don't show up in front of me out of nowhere! A sucker! ”

Noah, who was accused by Alice, was speechless.

"If you don't come down, you can't come down, so what do you want?"

"Ahem..."Alice seemed to know that she was so unreasonable, so she could only pretend to cough, and then looked at him left and right.

"Yesterday... Did you sleep well last night? ”

Hearing this, Noah looked at Alice in surprise.

This guy, don't you hate yourself?

Why do you care about yourself again now?

"You... Don't get me wrong! I'm just asking as the head of the Order! Alice yelled at Noah with a red face.

"It's not because I care about you!"

When Alice said this, Noah was relieved.

It seems that for Noah to end up sleeping on a tree. Alice didn't say it, but she couldn't get over it in her heart.

If Noah had honestly lived in the humble cabin he had been in last night. That's it, after all, it's a wall and a tile. Those who don't need to be exposed to the sun and rain are just a matter of difference in treatment compared to other students.

However, Noah ran to sleep in a tree, which made the leader of the knights feel uncomfortable.

On the surface, she is very harsh, but it is probably just the part of Alice as the head of the knights that makes her not allow herself to be frivolous, right?

Actually, this girl's heart is quite gentle.

At that moment, Noah shook his head with a smile.

"Thank you Captain Knight for your concern, I slept well last night."

"Really?" Alice coughed twice more deliberately. Pretend to be a casual inquiry.

"But don't you sleep in a tree? Can you sleep well that way? ”

"There's nothing wrong with sleeping in a tree, right?" Noah stretched out unconcernedly.

"In the past, when I was practicing in the deep mountains and old forests, let alone sleeping on trees, I slept on uneven stones, and for me, there was really no requirement for a place to live or anything."

Not only that, but when I was in the dark world of bullets, I first decided to help the cursed children there. Noah even lived in the ruins of the wilderness with children who had the intestinal virus in their bodies.

Coupled with the four years of cultivation in the deep mountains and old forests, these experiences have created Noah's character of not being too extravagant and not demanding too much from external things.

Otherwise, there is a treasure trove of countless gold and silver treasures. If you were an ordinary person, you would have already lived a luxurious nouveau riche life.

And Noah's words surprised Alice more or less.

"Have you ever practiced in the deep mountains and old forests?"

"Of course." Noah glanced at Alice.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and you want to get anything. Then you have to pay something, someone who will meet all your requirements for free. It's just your parents, or just a few people. ”

After speaking. Noah glanced around, looking at the girls who were hiding far away, pointing at themselves, unable to hide their curiosity and fear, and spoke out helplessly.

"By the way, Knight Commander, can you please find a way to solve this scene?"

It was because of Noah's words that Alice, who was in a deep groan, reacted, looked around, and when she saw the students who were hiding and secretly looking at Noah, her expression was straight, and she spoke loudly.

"Classes are coming soon! All the people who should go back to class will go back to class! Don't linger here! ”

"Yes~~~" The girls around immediately dragged out their accents, replied to such a sentence, and while chattering, they scattered around, and kept turning their heads and secretly looking at Noah.

Then, Noah vaguely heard some of these conversations.

"That's the rumored male elf, right?"

"It doesn't seem as scary as others say?"

"That's right."

"It's said to be a very ugly guy with three heads, six arms, and eight legs."

"No, I heard four heads, four arms, and twelve legs."

"Huh? Isn't it eight heads? ”

"Is it eight heads?"

"It seems to be..."

"I guess I'm mistaken, right?"

"Shall I?"

Hearing this conversation, Noah's mood was as if he had been knocked over a five-flavor bottle, sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy.

It seems that the rumors about Noah that are circulating in the Eleb Academy are much more exaggerated than Noah himself imagined.

"That's right."

At this time, Alice gave a small package to Noah.

"You can take this."

"Huh?" Noah took it in confusion.

"What is this?"

"Your school uniform, and your student ID card." Alice looked away and said something in a hurry.

"As for your residence, I will report to the head of the academy again and make other arrangements, that's all."

Leaving such a sentence, Alice turned around directly, as if she didn't want Noah to see her unstrict side, and walked away.

"This girl..."Noah, who was holding the package, could only laugh.

"It's not frank enough..."

……

It wasn't long before Noah reappeared in the atrium of the Elesian Academy.

At this time, Noah's body was already wearing the uniform of the Elesian Elf Academy.

The basic color palette is the same as that of the rest of the students, with a white base and some black lines, but it is a boy's style.

Of course, the lower body is not a skirt, but a pair of pure white trousers, which is quite comfortable to wear.

The uniforms of the Elesian Elven Academy are made of cloth with the blessings of elven magic and ritual kagura.

It not only has some defensive functions, but also has some effects on cold, heat and even poison.

It's a pity that Noah's body has a foul-like spell resistance.

Protections like this, which are added with elven magic and ritual kagura, whether beneficial or unhelpful, will all be bounced off by Noah's body.

Therefore, when Noah wears this uniform, this uniform becomes an ordinary student uniform, without any protective function.

Of course, Noah didn't need it much.

Walking in the atrium of the Elesian Elven Academy, Noah scratched his head.

"Where the hell is the library?"

In the morning, Noah had a dream about having an extraordinary relationship with his contract elves.

The dream, which can be related to the saint and the demon king, told Noah that his contract elf is definitely not an ordinary sword elf, and it is very likely that it is the contract elf used to kill the demon king before the savior saint Maiden.

However, Noah didn't know much about the Holy Maiden, and it was only because the legend was so famous that he saw part of it in the book he borrowed from the dean's office.

In order to figure out about his contract elves, it is necessary for Noah to know more about his contract elves.

In that case, you may be able to know what is wrong with your contract elf.

However, Noah was not particularly familiar with the Academy, and only knew that there was a library where many secrets from the Odisian Empire could be found.

"Just, where the hell is this library?"

Noah stood in the center of the atrium of the academy, his face full of distress.

"If only someone led the way."

Almost at the same time as this voice fell, a voice sounded from behind Noah.

"What are you doing?"

Noah was stunned, then turned his head and looked behind him.

There, a petite girl with long bright red hair that was very conspicuous, tied into a double ponytail, crossed her waist, looked at Noah, looking like she was looking up and chested, unwilling to lose her momentum in front of Noah.

"Huh?" Noah blinked.

"Claire? Exposed? ”

Why is this girl here?

But it came at the right time... (To be continued.) )
