Volume 2 The Triple Trial and the Awakened Eye Chapter 32 Stalking
Obviously in such a noisy restaurant, but after hearing Alyssa's words, Alan suddenly felt that the whole world was quiet, so quiet that he could only hear Alyssa's voice and each other's heartbeats. I don't know why, but I feel inexplicably comfortable, as if a breeze gently blows through the forest in my heart.
It was a feeling he had never felt before. 100% trust is easy to say, but Alan knows that this level is not something that can be achieved overnight.
However, this also made him, who has always been not good at words, unable to find the right words to answer, so he had to smile and lower his head.
This time, the two did not go to the library again after dinner, but chose to take a walk around the campus, and before they knew it, they actually circled around the castle. However, neither of them seemed to want to go back to the room, so they sat down on the bench in the Four Seasons Garden at the same time and began to chat.
This is exactly when the sky is not dark, the street lights are not lit, the fluorescent grass has not had time to wake up, everything looks hazy, a little blurry, but it is so beautiful that people are reluctant to blink.
The two of them seemed to have never been so happy as they were today, and they were also silent until then they realized that they had so much to say, and they didn't want to stop at all.
Past and present, dreams of the past and unknown future, blah blah blah...... For the first time, Alan opened up to someone else. It's not that he doesn't want to share it with Riel, but he knows that Riel probably doesn't understand at all. Although living under the same roof, they are completely different types of people. Alyssa is different, from her words Allen can feel that they have similar understandings and attitudes towards life, and also have similar hobbies, although there will be some small differences in some places, but as long as they say it, they can understand each other. And most importantly, she, like Alan, has no reservations when it comes to talking about it. Although he didn't know why, Alan could deeply feel that the girl in front of him was the same as him, without reservation.
I guess that's what it's like to be 100% trusted.
"When...... When ......"
If it weren't for the nine o'clock bell, the two of them might not have realized that it was so late. It was as if they had become two thinking plants, not thirsty and tireless, and if it had not been for the reminder of this bell, they might have to talk here until dawn.
Although they were still a little reluctant, the two still had to say goodbye, and they had to rush back to the dormitory before the bell fell.
"See you tomorrow, good night. ”
"Good night. ”
Due to the proximity to the girls' dormitory, Alyssa could walk back unhurriedly, while Alan had to trot all the way. Luckily, the bell was slow and long, so when Alan ran back to the dorm door, Will hadn't closed the door yet.
"Yo, it looks like it's going fast!" said Allen, back on the fourth floor, as soon as he pushed the door open, with a wicked smile on his face, "If I'm not mistaken, you two have been talking on that bench for at least an hour and forty minutes." ”
"Uh...... You—How do you know...... Are you all hiding from the side and watching?" Although he knew that Riel had no malicious intent, Alan couldn't help but blush a little when he remembered that his and Alyssa's every move was watched by Riel.
"No, no, how could I be, how could I be such a boring person. Riel said with a grin, "I just waited left and right and didn't see you come back, and finally I was so hungry that I had to go to dinner alone, I saw you two walking that way, and then after eating, I found that you two were still sitting on that bench." ”
"Uh, sorry, I was thinking about something and forgot to come back early to tell you......" Alan said.
"It's okay, it's okay, I understand, I understand. With that, Riel walked to the door, closed the door for Alan, and then grabbed his shoulder and whispered, "Since you came back so late, then...... Did you do anything else besides chatting?"
"Uh...... What else?" Alan was stunned, not understanding at all, "Isn't it just chatting......"
"Hey, don't you play dumb with me, tell you, I've seen it all!" Riel said in that coaxing tone as soon as he saw his attitude.
However, Alan still didn't understand at all: "What the hell are you trying to say...... What do you see?"
"Alas, you are a ...... person" Rare only believed when he heard this, Alan and Alyssa really only talked for more than an hour, so he had to sigh dissatisfiedly, shaking his head and saying, "How can there be such a boring person as you......"
"Uh, by the way, you're still on duty tomorrow morning, aren't you?" Alan felt a little embarrassed, and took the initiative to divert the topic.
"Yes, the eldest lady from the Labres asked me to familiarize her with the way to class, especially which room the stairs in the perpetual motion house lead to, eh...... Although there are some that I have never walked before......"
"Is there anything strange about her?" Alan asked tentatively as soon as he heard this, "Well, for example, being particularly interested in something, or asking to be alone with you...... or something."
"Y-How do you know...... "This time it was Rare's turn to blush, "Did Alyssa tell you?"
"No, I guessed it myself...... Uh, she looks like she's interested in you......" Allen said, "What did you all talk about?"
"Hmm...... I said that it was unlikely, after all, she told me quietly......" Riel breathed a sigh of relief, but since Alan had guessed that this was on him, he simply admitted: "Tsk, how do you say it...... Anyway, she kept saying that this school is so big, and she really wants to go to a place where you can see the whole picture...... He also whispered to me that the top of the Elemental Tower must have a good view...... Well...... That's it......"
"So she wants you to take her to the top of the tower tomorrow?" asked Allen.
"She didn't say that, uh, but I do know which way to go, so I ......," Riel said hesitantly, "yes...... I'd like to take her with me. ”
It can be seen that Riel seems to have a good impression of Cecilis, after all, she is at the age of the beginning of love, and she finally has a person with a similar personality to herself, and she is still a pretty cute girl.
"Hmm...... I don't want to interfere in your private affairs, but ...... Uh......" Alan thought for a moment and said, "I still advise you not to do that......"
"Why?" Riel looked at Alan with a puzzled expression.
"Well, after all, you just met today, I think it's better to get along for a while......" Alan couldn't find a suitable reason for a while, so he replied vaguely.
"Hmm...... Hmm......" Ryel nodded understandingly, not sure whether to agree or seriously consider Alan's suggestion.
"That'...... I'll just go to bed first, I'm so tired today. Seeing that Riel was still in good spirits, Alan got into the bed, "You should rest early, don't be late tomorrow morning." ”
"It's okay, I won't be on duty until nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Riel said, "Good night." ”
It was another quiet night.
The next morning, when Alan woke up, he was the only one left in the room, not only Rare, but also the Laven brothers.
Originally, Alan was going to go to the library for a bite to eat, but remembering Rare's reaction last night, Alan was still faintly worried.
The place Cecilis wanted to go to was really a bit weird, whether there was a guardrail or not was secondary, mainly because the place was high and secluded, and if something happened, it might not even be too late to find someone to help...... And Alyssa told him that some of their freshmen might already have their eyes on them, and they might plot against them at any moment.
Although Alyssa said that she would not let him interfere in the matter and that she would handle it alone, it was impossible to completely reassure him, because Frost's phrase "he was coming" always echoed in his ears.
"Could it be...... Has Arne Bérestu already infiltrated the castle?" Thinking of this, Alan felt more and more as if something was wrong, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "If that's the case, I'm afraid Alyssa will still be difficult to deal with alone......"
"Or ...... Come over and have a look?" A thought popped through his mind, and his body involuntarily stood up.
But before he could take a step forward, Alan was a little hesitant, because if he followed him like this, Alyssa would be fine, as long as she told the truth, she would definitely understand, but Riel was not necessarily, maybe...... And get angry.
After much hesitation, Eren decided to take a risk—to cover himself with a camouflage barrier, and then quietly followed.
Of course, it was a violation of school discipline to use magic in school, and he knew it, but at the thought that Riel might be in danger if he didn't, Alan immediately took action.
"I hope I won't be discovered......" He stood in front of the mirror for a long time after applying this disguise to himself, making sure that everything was safe before cautiously going out the door.
It's almost nine o'clock now, and Riel should be waiting at the old place.
There was no time to eat breakfast, so Alan rushed directly to the entrance of the school hospital.
Sure enough, when Alan arrived, he found that not only Ryel, but also Alyssa and Azel had arrived, and only the three girls from Beya were missing.
Since classes only start tomorrow, and now the freshmen are familiar with the campus under the leadership of the seniors and seniors, so the footsteps are very noisy, and coupled with this layer of disguise on her body, even Alyssa didn't notice the existence of Alan.
"I'm sorry, we're late. After waiting for a few moments, a voice came from the north, led by Cecilis.
Several of them were already wearing their respective uniforms.
I have to say that this tie-up seems to be tailor-made for Cecilis, which makes Eren feel even more amazing than Cynthia after wearing it. And she seems to be much more stable today than when we first met yesterday.
"Uh, it's okay, we just arrived a short time ago...... "Rare was obviously intrigued, staring at Cecilis for a long time, and then said, "Well, let's go......
