901 Small Ripples, Part 5 - Children's Decisions ② -

"So, Nellie knows that much and still wants to be a pilgrim?

"Yeah, if you emerge among the pilgrims, you'll have more chances to touch Arnelia's secrets. Naturally, Dora, I can get close to you."

"Not necessarily, and you don't know when."

"Still, it's not the kind of character you can keep quiet about. Besides, it's surprisingly early to be a pilgrim, isn't it?

Jake was surprised because Nellie grinned a little invincibly, but right in front of him Nellie concentrated her magic to create a light sphere. The size of the photosphere is already loosely above the size of an adult's head. Jake surprised by its scale.

"Is that... Brandio?

"Yes, that's the offensive magic you taught me then. I'm going to be drilling for myself, but it seems surprisingly sexual. Don't you think it's inside?

Jake didn't dare say anything, but it was quite something inside. Light spheres of this magnitude are well above the standards of the Sisters and Monks who accompanied them to the Octave Forest. If this is the case in such a shallow year after mastering witchcraft, it is certainly not strange to become a pilgrim with the corresponding strength any day.

"Sure. You're in there."

"Isn't it? And the one thing I don't want you to get me wrong is, if I were to stay in Arnelia, how long were I going to go for the apex?

"Vertex?"

"Yes, I'm going for the Archbishop's seat."

To Nellie's proclamation, Jake stumbled.

"Nellie, it's..."

"I don't want you to say it out of Jake's mouth that I can't. You've spoken more of a magnificent goal, and Arnelia has plenty of opportunities to emerge as long as she's capable. For the Archbishop, the task of pilgrimage seems to be roughly imperative, and either way I am aiming for pilgrims. Dora, this is just a trigger. So don't feel responsible."

When Nellie laughed that way, she heard Dute Hilde from afar. Apparently, we're calling Nellie to head to the next class. Maybe the beginning is near.

"Hilde's calling. I'm going now."

"Right - Nellie, I'm sorry"

"You don't have to apologize. It was Jake who ran out faster. I'll catch up and show you, too. But I just regret that I wasn't in the same position as Jake or Dora right now. Really, that's all."

Nellie tried to leave the classroom, but Jake didn't miss that there were tears in his eyes. It is a nellie of a feisty character. You must really regret it as much as you want Jake to grab you.

The Nellie told him with her back turned.

"That's right. Bruns and Rascal also aspire to the Temple Knights, right?

"Really? Because I haven't heard anything yet."

"I wonder if you're keeping it a secret. But I think they've been asking the Knights of the Outer Rim to come and go lately. He also started treating horses and training them as squire knights.

Besides, do you know Hilde's gonna stay in Arnelia, too?

"Huh? Whirlpool? Why?"

Jake looked sincerely unexpected, but looking back Nellie was only laughing at her mouth.

"Come on, why not? But does she know that healing magic puts her at the top of the sync?

"No, I don't. I mean, I can't imagine. You don't match your personality, it"

"Really? Regardless of the surface, I think the core has a calm and caring personality. Jake should hit his head at the stables gate once and get back out."

"Why?"

"I won't tell you"

That being said, Nellie left the classroom with her tongue out. Jake, left alone, though pompous, was thinking about Nellie's leftover proclamation.

"Well, Nellie did. Everybody thinks a lot."

"At last. I haven't had much fun since I got here."

"Wow!

Jake was suddenly called out from behind, so he almost jumped up unexpectedly. Behind it, Ruth stood unannounced. Ruth sticks her thumb out in the face of doing it.

"Pfft. What do you say, my" tongue "jutsu?"

"Hey, when?"

"And if you don't look at it, look back at the occasions. Especially this Ruth."

Ruth put his arms around him, skillfully. Jake usually almost stuck Ruth down, but he was more surprised than that, so he couldn't even do that.

"Sorcery?

"You said you were, right?

"Why would you do that?"

"How dare you?"

"The future?"

To Ruth's words, Jake looked back at Ruth with a face that didn't make sense. Ruth lay her eyes down for the first time, and looked up and started talking.

"I don't know how to do this, but I think it's me and Riku's beard decided to make me" Rikuku "."

"Study abroad!? Why?"

It is precisely water in the sleeping ear. Jake said it without hiding his surprise. Ruth speaks pale.
