Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

Page 72

Rudeus didn't seem to mind at all.

Maybe it's because I've been having ED for too long, so I've become immune to my condition... Although I don't think this is a good thing, it's best to avoid trouble.

We chatted a little more.

Seeing that it was getting late, Rudius stood up and prepared to leave.

"Speaking of which, I've made quite a few friends here. I'll introduce them to you when I get the chance."

"Then I'm looking forward to it."

"Take good care of your injuries, brother. When you recover, we can talk about some happy things together."

Rudeus patted my shoulder and said something meaningful.

Happy things...

Ah, that's it.

No problem, if it's that topic, we can talk about it as many times as we want.

I signaled to Rudeus with my eyes.

There is no need for language between men.

"Then I'll be leaving first, brother."

"Take care, brother."

I waved goodbye to Rudius and watched him go away.

After his figure completely disappeared.

My eyes fell on Sylphy.

"By the way, Sylphy, why does Rudeus seem to know nothing about you?"

"I……"

Bring up this topic.

Sylphy's head immediately drooped.

The long and thin ears also became like noodles, hanging down limply.

"When Rudeus first saw me after coming to school, he said to me, 'It's our first meeting...'"

"...Is it because of this?"

"Because! Isn't this very strange? Mr. Ron recognized me at first sight, and Mr. Ron and I had only met once before! But Mr. Ron recognized me immediately, while Rudeus seemed to have completely forgotten me!"

"Ah this..."

I couldn't help but pull the corners of my mouth.

Could it be that it’s my problem?

Because white hair is quite rare in this world, and I am not familiar with Sylphy with green hair. And with her iconic sunglasses, white hair, and cloak, I can confirm that it is Sylphy without any recognition.

However, it was not easy for Rudeus to recognize Sylphy, whose hair color had changed.

I thought things would go more smoothly than I imagined.

I was also worried that I would miss their wedding because I didn't come back in time.

As a result, because of my unintentional action, the progress of the two of them was slower than expected?

Looking at Sylphy's frustrated face, I scratched my head in embarrassment.

"Well...actually, I think it might be because Rudeus had a deep impression of you, so when he saw your completely changed hair color, he didn't think of you as Sylphy at all?"

"Even so, maybe Rudeus really has forgotten me?"

Sylphy hung her head.

"If I go to Rudeus and say, 'It's Sylphy,' and he asks, 'Who?' I'll lose the will to live."

"..."

So, so heavy...

I couldn't help swallowing.

By the way, I didn’t feel this at all when I read the novel before.

It turns out that Sylphy is also a million-ton heavy girl?

Labyrinth Chapter: 70, Girl's Mood

Looking at Sylphy who was looking frustrated.

I seemed to feel a gravitational field like a black hole slowly forming.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case.

Sylphy's feelings for Rudeus were indeed extremely passionate, but also tinged with intense unease.

It's just super heavy.

Maybe because of my interference, there will be problems in the relationship between the two of them. Then I will really have to kneel down and apologize to Rudeus.

Do not……

Instead of apologizing, think about how to make amends.

"...Anyway, I'll help you find a solution."

"what?"

"We'll have to work out the specifics for a while, but if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. I won't hesitate to help."

"In that case...thank you so much."

Sylphy looked very excited.

I feel I have a responsibility for this matter.

So we can't just leave it alone.

But even though he said he wanted to help, I have no idea how to help me. I can only hope that Sylphy's think tank, the strongest intermediate swordsman of the Sword God Stream, Luke, can come up with some good ideas.

Just as I was thinking this.

Sylphy suddenly seemed to remember something and stood up with a serious expression.

"By the way, Mr. Ron..."

"I told you to just call me Ron."

"Okay... Ron, please take this."

Sylphy said as she spoke.

He took out something that looked like an invitation from his pocket and handed it over.

I took it casually, opened it and took a look, and found that it was actually an invitation.

I was invited to join Ranoa Magic University as a special student.

“Uh, this is…”

"Because of his outstanding performance, Ron is now a hot topic throughout Cialia and even the three major magical kingdoms. Therefore, this invitation letter is issued in the name of the school."

Outstanding performance?

Are you talking about my fight with Badigondi?

to be frank.

I don't think there was anything particularly remarkable about that fight.

It's more like it's a bit ugly.

I wasn't good at prolonged battles, so I was forced into one, and ultimately failed to defeat Badigondi before running out of energy. Even though I believed I had a chance of winning until the very end, I was probably in a very awkward state at that time.

Sylphy continued:

"In short, Ron's title of hero has begun to spread among some people. Perhaps after a while, areas outside the Northern Continent will also know that someone has defeated the Undead Demon King and won the title of hero."

"No, no, no, isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

Brave?

I feel deep down that I don't deserve this title.

You have to know that the real hero ended the first war between humans and demons and successfully defeated the ruthless characters such as the Ancient Demon King and the Demon Emperor, while I only defeated Badigondi... It can't even be said that I defeated him, I was just unilaterally recognized as the winner.

If you tell others about this level of hero, won’t people laugh at you?

"Well, although he's different from the legendary hero, he's still a hero recognized by the Undead Demon King himself, so he's still quite valuable."

"But if you count it that way, isn't Rudeus also a hero?"

"Rudeus refused on the spot."

"..."

What is this all about?

Does that make me a hero just because I didn't refuse on the spot?

"Forget it. I don't think many people will take it seriously anyway."

I looked at the invitation and hesitated for a while, but finally reached out to take it.

Anyway, I plan to stay in Xialia for the next period of time.

With this thing, it will be much more convenient.

"Then I will take my leave and not disturb you two any longer."

Sylphy stood up, nodded slightly in greeting, and turned to leave.

"..."

The room fell silent.

After I watched Sylphy leave, my gaze returned to Nanahoshi.

Qixing hadn't said a word since just now.

Because I was worried about the conversation getting awkward, I started chatting with Rudeus and the others. When I came to my senses, I realized that I had left Qixing aside and she had been silent until now.

Even now that Sylphy was gone, he didn't speak a word.

And because she was wearing a mask.

I can't even guess what Qixing's expression is right now.

"..."

Suddenly I had the urge to take off the mask.

No no no, calm down.

The last time I did this, I was hit hard by Qixing's elbow.

It’s better not to ask for trouble.

But then again, Qixing has been sitting here without any response. Could he actually be asleep?

Think so.

I reached out and waved my hand in front of Nanahoshi's mask.

"Seven stars?"
