Chapter 10: She who chases me even if I reincarnate (2)

"I know that Sister Rose often mentions you, Senior Sister. Sister Rose is under your care."

“I see~ So you still call Rose “Sister”~ Since you are Rose’s cute brother, you are also my brother. Well, Al, you can just call me Sister Aeril from now on!”

"I see."

"Since you are still showing Junior Alfred around the campus, Rose, Ariel and I will not disturb you."

After a brief greeting, Cecilia took the initiative to say goodbye first, considering that Alfred and Rose might be on a date.

"Okay, then Senior Cecilia, I'll see you tomorrow, Ariel."

Rose also smiled and said goodbye to the two.

"Oh yeah, Rose!"

As if she thought of something important, Cecilia, who was about to leave, turned around and called Rose.

"Anything else, Senior?"

"I'm just warning you two in advance. Don't hang out in the academy's main castle too late. You must leave here before dusk."

Cecilia's words reminded Alfred of a warning in the freshman handbook.

Without permission from any teacher, you are not allowed to stay in the main castle, which serves as a teaching building, until dusk, nor are you allowed to enter the main castle between dusk and dawn the next day.

Because this is what is written in the student handbook, and Rose, who is leading me, is not a freshman.

So Alfred guessed.

There must be some special reason why Cecilia deliberately warned Rose and herself.

"Eh? What happened?"

Rose also noticed this and asked in confusion.

"Two students who had just returned to school violated the rules last night and were dragged into a rift in another world. They haven't come back yet. Mr. McAss and Eudora haven't found them yet."

Cecilia said with a somewhat worried look.

"Although this is just my personal feeling, I feel that there is something strange in the main castle of the academy recently. Anyway, you two should be careful next time."

"I see. Thank you for your reminder, Senior."

Rose bowed and thanked Cecilia.

"You're welcome."

Cecilia smiled gently at the two of them, then turned and left with Ariel.

"Sister Rose, the rift world that Senior Sister Cecilia mentioned, could it be that she is referring to the space-time rift between that world and the other world?"

"It's just what you think, Al."

Rose explained with a troubled smile.

The main castle of Illya and Arya's academy is built in the gap between the worlds.

It is said that by doing this, the magic power of the two worlds will gather near the gap, making the surrounding environment have more abundant magic power than ordinary spiritual veins.

However, because it is located between the worlds, the time and space inside the main castle of the academy is very unstable at night, especially at the two points of the day when day and night alternate.

"Occasionally, students will be dragged into another dimension because of violating the rules or due to unfortunate accidents."

"I see... But isn't it dangerous to build the academy in a place like this?"

I don't know if I should call it intuition, but after listening to Rose's explanation, Alfred always felt that something was strange.

"Dangerous? A little, indeed. However, students who accidentally enter the rift world may get hurt, but their lives will not be in danger. Moreover, these people will usually be found within a week."

Alfred fell into a brief silence.

"Any questions?"

"No. There's not much time left, Sister Rose, let's quickly visit the rest of the places."

Alfred glossed over the matter and suggested this to Rose in a cheerful tone.

"That's true, let's go."

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

In the evening, after having dinner with Rose, Alfred returned to the dormitory.

After briefly greeting the dormitory manager, he immediately went to the second floor where the room was located.

Because there are many children of nobles studying there, the dormitories at the Illya Arya Puppet Master Academy are very spacious.

Even basic dormitories that do not require any credits are equipped with independent bathrooms and kitchens.

Each floor of the dormitory also has public facilities such as entertainment rooms, lounges and gyms.

Walking through the corridor covered with red wool carpet, Alfred came to the door of his room, took out his student ID and opened the door.

As soon as he entered the room, he immediately locked the door and covered the entire room with an isolation barrier to prevent eavesdropping and peeping.

"Okay, you can come out."

Hearing Alfred's call, the silver-haired puppet girl immediately lifted her invisibility.

"By the way, what's up with those potato chips in your arms?"

"Al, do you want to eat?"

The girl did not answer Alfred's question, but handed a potato chip to his mouth very intimately.

"No need. There's no one around now, can we sit down and talk?"

"Yeah, no problem."

Seeing that Alfred was not going to accept her kindness, the girl responded somewhat dejectedly by stuffing the potato chip into her mouth.

"You can't talk while eating. It's neither hygienic nor polite."

"Ouch! S-Sorry, Al."

After being scolded, the girl lowered her head in disappointment and sat down on the bed.

Alfred pulled up a chair and sat in front of the girl.

"How do you know the name Al?"

He asked straight to the point.

"Ugh, Al, you really don't remember me... I'm Emilia, don't you remember me at all?"

"Emilia...you weren't that person..."

Now, looking at the girl's appearance again and again, Alfred did feel a little nostalgic.

Alfred himself was not sure whether it was his nth time of traveling through time or reincarnation.

However, there was one time when he was summoned by the people of a world as a hero to fight against the evil dragon god who was planning to destroy the human kingdom to which Alfred belonged at the time.

The name Alfred used at that time was Al.

When Alfred was about to defeat the evil dragon god according to the wishes of the human kingdom, he learned the real reason for the conflict between the dragon god and the human kingdom.

For their own selfish desires, humans stole the dragon god's child - a dragon egg.

In order to avenge the evil deeds of mankind and retrieve the lost dragon eggs, the Dragon God launched an attack on the human kingdom.

Out of guilt, Alfred agreed to the Dragon Goddess's dying request, found the stolen dragon egg, and hatched it on her behalf.

The little dragon that hatched from the dragon egg at that time was the girl in front of us named Emilia...
