Episode 139: The Old Story of Lorraine with Lower Vampires

I'm stunned by Lorraine's question.

Because I wondered what you would take for granted.

I say.

"It's kind of a word choice to try me, but you know it's Lorraine, right? There's no reason not to believe it. If I can't believe Lorraine, what else am I supposed to believe? Who would seriously study this body of mine? Right."

Because that's what we're going to talk about.

It's not like I can find someone inside looking for someone to listen to my ridiculous stories seriously.

Not to mention I can't think of anything other than Lorraine that fits properly and makes me the subject of research.

Well, there will be those who expose this body, tell me its secrets, and take it on in two replies if you ask me to study it.

But in that case, I would remain an experimental animal, or would be chopped up everywhere and thrown into some research facility to be the life of a caged bird for life.

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to see me like this in a state where I live freely.

Lorraine smiled at my words, saying.

"... you sure do. Sorry. Maybe I'm a little drunk too."

He has eyes that look a little farther away, and I tilt my neck wondering what's wrong.

Then Lorraine shook her head,

"No, I remember the old days. When I was in my hometown. Everyone, in the beginning, I was treated heretically no matter what I said..."

"Heh?"

It is extremely rare for Lorraine to tell an old story.

Hometown, that means the country Lorraine lived in before she got here?

Sure, it should have been called an academic country... eh.

"When it comes to Lorraine's homeland, it is true that the Realmud Empire, was"

"That's right. You remember that well, didn't you?

"Well, no matter how many countrymen, it's not as good as my friend's hometown. It's pretty far away, so I haven't been to a boulder."

I have heard that it is a country that exists in a large western of a considerable size, and that is the country where Robelism is proud of its forces.

If you tell anyone, that's it for Lorraine.

However, in this Yarlan, a small eastern country, its influence is small.

Or the Realmud Empire wouldn't be interested in such a small soggy country either.

There are no specialties in particular, and where you conquer do you get something?

And it's a country where even I live to the point of wondering.

Assuming the Realmud Empire were willing to invade Yarlan, it would be after swallowing every other country.

So much so that it is this yarlan that is a boring country state.

... Don't be sad to say it. It's a good place!

Compared to other places, it's a lot of things...

Lorraine continues.

"Unlike this Yarlan kingdom, people's time is flowing fast. Now that I think about it, I almost got so tired. It's like trying hard every day, kicking people down, stepping stone, and just going up, you know, all those people. Well, it would never have been the wrong attitude given the prosperity of the country and humanity, but that's also a good example of saying that going too far would be a problem"

"Is that why you came here?

When I ask, Lorraine gets a little stuck in words, but she snorts.

"That must be one of the big reasons. To a large extent, you said you were looking for peace... well, that's good. I have a very different life in a country like that. Now I was quite an elite. If that's what you're interested in, you could even aim for the position of Dean of Lermood First University."

I lean my neck on a word that came out of nowhere.

It was a difficult story for the countrymen.

"... What is Lermood I University...?

"It's my alma mater, the highest school in Lermud. Well, it's not a big deal because I can let anyone in if I try, but its presidential status was one of those chairs that scholars in that country want. I didn't leak into the example either, trying to reach out. I did a lot of things, and I got a lot of results... but at that time, there were a lot of people trying to pull my legs and it was easy. We show the truth so that everyone can see it, but somehow it's all denied. You know what I mean? I saw Minkan in front of me, and this is it, and no, it's an apple, and that's bread, right? or something like that appears next to next. Besides, I'm more wrong. I don't care what you see in front of me. It drives me crazy."

"It's..."

It's a good story, or the human microscopy around it is somewhat understandable.

Which would mean that there were a lot of people up there who didn't feel comfortable with Lorraine, who climbed up pretty fast.

Well, it's not possible that you really didn't understand that Minkan is a pussy, but it's more natural to think that he was pulling his leg one way or another.

I'm sorry to hear that, but Lorraine laughs all the time when I thought it was in the atmosphere.

"Well, I was too bad standing around then, too, with me. He was a child. If it were now, it would have worked a little better and made me feel better. I just couldn't do it back then... so tired of everything, I came here. One day, suddenly, somehow."

"... that was pretty lame, wasn't it? That sounds like a lot of work to me."

"Exactly. but I couldn't possibly have kept my spiritual equilibrium without that...... I wanted to say goodbye to boring and frustrating days. In fact, when I came here, I thought it was exciting to feel like I was free from something and to be inspired by something I hadn't felt in a long time. Glad you could make it... yes, I've seen you too"

Lorraine was a scholar in Lermood, and I was kind of tired of hearing stories like she was here, but the truth is, I've never seen her say that there was quite a lot going on.

Well, I didn't really believe from the bottom of my heart that Lorraine's story... she was a wood-end scholar in Lermood and came to Yarlan because she wasn't even in a big position.

For that matter, because the knowledge and skills Lorraine has shown us over the last decade have been too good.

Even Yarlan has recommended several times that if he works hard, he could become a court scholar, but he stopped recommending it after he realized that Lorraine doesn't seem to feel comfortable.

I thought you didn't like it like a power struggle, but if this is the case, there's no choice.

Besides, Lorraine's gonna be here, I should have.

She's helped me more than once, and I'm the best friend in the city.

I wish I could continue to have much more fun like this.

I thought so.
