Chapter 355

At that moment, Ellen returned to the Huangdo after finishing her rest in her hometown village of Lijai. She was curious about the secret of her hometown village, but her parents said it wasn't time to know yet. However, Ellen, like her brother, eventually got two relics. The cloak of the sun god. She delayed her return to become familiar with the use of the cloak of the sun god. Ellen planned to show the relic to Reinhardt first, as she had obtained a new relic in preparation for the fight against the demon king. She had not yet decided how to explain the strange things about her hometown village. Reinhardt didn't talk about his secrets, but would it be okay for her to easily reveal her own secrets? No. She had a vague hope that he would at least reveal a little bit about his secrets, even if he apologized. Ellen wanted to see Reinhardt as she had been away for too long. She wondered what he had been doing. Even though his personality was bad, he wasn't lazy, so he must have been busy with various training. Ellen wanted to return to Lijai as soon as possible because she wanted to train with Reinhardt. She thought of two people who could be a match for Reinhardt in swordsmanship training. The first was Sabiolin Tana, the homeroom teacher of the first grade. Or. "......" Olivia Ranche, a fifth-year student. Ellen wanted to return quickly because she thought Reinhardt might be training with a senior she didn't like. Ellen quickly entered the temple entrance after passing through the warp gate in front of the temple. She was worried that she might be scolded for coming too late. However, she hadn't been away for that long. Ellen took the tram to the Royal Class dormitory. Of course, Olivia wasn't training with Reinhardt. "I haven't seen Reinhardt since yesterday." Cliff's answer was in response to the question of where Reinhardt was. Charlotte, Sabiolin Tana, and Reinhardt's trip to the Demon King's castle was unknown to the public. Reinhardt could go somewhere during vacation, or he could take a few days off. Where did he go? Ellen didn't really care if Reinhardt returned to the dormitory or not. However, she was eager to show Reinhardt the new relic and talk to him. And also. She believed she was strong and could become even stronger. She would get angry if he heard it, but Reinhardt was still weaker than her. If she had to, she would apologize to her parents for giving up the village's treasure. She thought it would be better to die herself than to see Reinhardt die. "Isn't it better for Reinhardt to have the cloak of the sun god? Ellen thinks so. She could give it to him if she wanted to. She was curious about Reinhardt's expression when he saw it and wanted to see him quickly. She didn't know where Reinhardt went and asked Olivia, but she didn't know either. Ellen thought the only place he could be was the Rotary Club. Ellen generally isn't interested in what's happening around her, but she knows the Rotary Club is a group led by a strong white-haired woman." "I was curious about who the white-haired woman was, but I never delved deeper than that. I just knew that she was a strong leader of some sort. However, I suspected that Reinhardt's secret was related to the Rotary Club, a group associated with the Thieves Guild and therefore a criminal organization. I knew that the Rotary Club had a new headquarters and that Reinhardt had some connection to it. Despite my suspicions, I tried not to think too much about it and headed towards the Rotary Club to find Reinhardt and give him the cloak." And then, someone rushed out of the headquarters.

She was wearing a black dress that was soaked through, as if something had happened.

"....Uh...who are you?"

It was Adriana, a senior from the Temple.

* * *

Adriana first wrapped up Royar's head and then dragged him by the arm.

Ellen sat quietly in the boss's office on the top floor of the Rotary Club headquarters.

Ellen didn't know the exact reason, but Adriana knew that she had dropped out of the Temple.

And the reason Reinhardt knew Heath's parents was because he had gone to the monastery where Adriana had returned because of her dropout problem.

It was true that Adriana's former monastery was in the Kingdom of Saint-Faust, as Reinhardt had heard on the last night of the festival.

And that night.

She also saw Olivia Lanche and Adriana returning to the Royal Class dormitory in the middle of the night.

She doesn't know what happened or what happened after that.

However.

Since then, Adriana seems to be staying at the Rotary Club headquarters instead of returning to the monastery.

It seems like a problem that Ellen doesn't have to be interested in.

A strange sense of discomfort wriggled in Ellen's mind.

Above all.

Adriana's expression after facing Ellen.

A clear look of surprise.

It gave Ellen a feeling that there was something suspicious about Adriana.

How much time had passed, Adriana, who had changed into a clean white dress, came up to the top floor of the headquarters.

The white-haired woman was nowhere to be seen, only Adriana was there.

Adriana and Ellen were not particularly close. Of course, it wasn't a bad relationship like with Olivia.

She was a senior who was close to Reinhardt.

It was just a senior-junior relationship that was nothing now that she was no longer in the Temple.

"Ah...um...it's Ellen, right? Long time no see."

Adriana smiled awkwardly, as she was in the same situation.

"I didn't know you were here."

"Oh, um...there were some things going on. Somehow I ended up here..."

Adriana awkwardly smiled.

Ellen was sure that she was not good at lying.

"Reinhardt isn't here, is he?"

Ellen brought up the most important reason for coming here.

Now, it was unclear whether this was really an important matter or not.

"No, he didn't come here. Is there...something going on?"

Ellen lowered her head at Adriana's worried words.

"No, I just heard he wasn't at the Temple, so I came to see if he was here. There's nothing wrong. Even if he is here...I don't know anything about it."

There was no reason to tell her what had happened.

But Reinhardt was doing this and that in a place where she didn't know. It was highly likely that Adriana was staying at the Rotary Club because of what Reinhardt had done. However, Reinhardt has no obligation to tell Adriana about her situation. But... Adriana and Olivia's appearance as they returned to the temple late at night, their frozen expressions, and Reinhardt's reaction as if he knew something. What could it be? When Ellen asks why Adriana is staying there, Adriana fidgets with her dress and explains that there was a problem at the monastery where she was staying and she couldn't stay there anymore. Ellen suspects that Adriana is staying at the Rotary Club because of what Reinhardt did. Later, Ellen returns to the Royal Class dormitory and knocks on the door to ask Olivia about Reinhardt's whereabouts. Olivia becomes nervous and defensive, but eventually reveals that Adriana has returned to the monastery, which Ellen knows is a lie. Ellen also asks why Adriana didn't come to the Miss Temple Contest.
