TEASER CHAPTER 8 PART 37
"She's gone you
say... At what time?"
"This morning,
apparently. When Mimuru woke up this morning, she seemed to have disappeared
from her room."
"*Sniffle,
sniffle*..."
Tom told everyone
present about Shina's situation, which he had learned from his girlfriend,
while handing his own handkerchief to Mimuru, who was in tears.
About the blood
covenant ritual and the subsequent changes that had affected Shina's body.
About Shina's great-grandfather and his attendant who had come to bring her
back.
After hearing what had
happened from Mimuru, Mars and the others all had difficult expressions on
their faces. Tima's eyes widened and she put her hands over her mouth,
speechless.
“To think that Shina-san was in such a state…”
"Well, if she was
presented with a love scene between the Red-Haired Princess and Nozomu in such
a state, it's no wonder she became desperate~~!"
"Lo-, love
scene!?" "Waaa~~"
While most of the
people present had stiff expressions on their faces, Feo was the only one who
seemed to be in a cheerful mood.
He was still speaking
in the same relaxed manner, but Tima and Mimuru overreacted to his words.
"Tima and that
cat over there need to calm down a bit. Well, I understand the situation.
Certainly, Nozomu would be distressed if he knew that Shina was in such a
state."
Mars quietened the
excited Tima and Mimuru while turning his gaze to Tom.
Unlike Tima, who was
emotionally involved with Shina, and Mimuru who were in tears, the men were
quite calm.
As far as what they
heard from Mimuru, there was a high possibility that Shina herself had
accumulated too many emotions and exploded.
However, it seemed
unlikely that she would leave Arcazam since she had rejected her relatives'
offer to take her back.
"Well, she denied
the elven elder's offer to bring her back, so if it was just a temporary
emotional outburst, she'll probably come back sooner or later after she calms
down, right?"
"No, we can't be
sure about that~~!"
"That's right! We
should all be looking for her!"
Mimuru and Tima
vehemently objected to Feo's statement that there was no problem in leaving the
matter unattended.
Camilla, who was
listening to the conversation, was also fidgeting and shaking her body
restlessly, but she did not quite understand what was going on. As for Lisa,
who was standing next to her, she was shrugging her shoulders as if to say,
" It can't be helped."
"Well, what
should we do? I don't mind skipping class..."
For the time being, it
would be better to tell Nozomu what had happened to Shina. Mars and the others
thought so, but at that moment, a woman's voice echoed from behind them,
speaking to them.
"There you
are."
It was Inda, a female
teacher who was in charge of the second class of the third year and an assistant
to Jihad.
She came from the
direction of the school and exhaled loudly as if she had finally found them.
She took one look at
Mars and the others and squinted slightly.
"I was looking
for all of you because I have something to talk about. It was urgent... but
where are Nozomu-kun and Shina-san?"
"He didn't show
up today either. I heard that Shina also left the dormitory early in the
morning. So, what's the matter?"
