Tearmoon Empire Story

Episode 233: My first quest

So, the moon and the day... six months later.

The spring was once again coming to St. Noel's School.

Well, I'm going to have a little meeting with the school.

"Yes, please.The cooperation of the school staff is essential for the freshman ball. "

Meer, who greeted her with a smile and broke up with Anne, was visiting the library alone.

Coming soon, to make a pact for the student council election.

"Hmm, every year, it's hard to make a covenant.I'd like to return to the student chairman's seat with Mr. Raffina.... "

Whilst crushing, I remember running for student chairman.

"Fufufu, if it weren't for Belle, I wouldn't be the student chairman."

I may have joined the student council at Raffina's request... but I never thought I'd be fighting Raffina for the chairman's seat.

"In retrospect, a lot has happened... since she came.Fufufu, this wouldn't have happened without Belle.... "

It's not just about the student chairman.The relationship with the faces of the Four Dukes must have been completely different now.

"Mr. Safias, maybe he was a political opponent, and I really don't know."

Now he was a trustworthy Safias, but immediately after he met him, he was an irresistible boy who wanted to look good.Without that student councillor election, I couldn't imagine what my relationship would have been with him.

"And the Duke of Yellow Moon. I bet you had something else to do with that house... and so did Lina..."

And so, Meer remembered the seeds of recent trouble.

"... Mr. Leena, you're pretending to be calm on the surface, but you can't, right?"

Without Belle, for a week or so, Straina seemed to have lost her soul.

I couldn't speak up, I couldn't move my face, and I couldn't have a proper conversation.

However, thanks to the work of Meer and Emeralda, they gradually regained their vitality after a month.Now I sometimes have a poor smile, and I also attend tea parties.The behavior, at first glance, remains as it was.

But... I never had an innocent smile on my face.

On the surface, the calm was healed, but I saw that I was impossible, and I was worried about Meer and everyone around me.

"I wish I could tell you about Bell properly...."

Meer was just trying to tell Straina about Bell's secret, but Straina wouldn't listen to it.

"I promised to hear from Bell-chan...."

It was a little tight.

"It's okay, Belle's not dead.I don't know, but I'm sure Belle is like an angel.Now I'm back in heaven, but I'm sure I'll come back again...When that happens, I'm sure you'll tell me everything.... "

I kind of felt like crying and was told that, so I couldn't say anything anymore.

"I have to do something about Lena...It's pretty tough, huh? I still need time..... "

Besides, we haven't explained it to the Ludwigs yet.Although you're convinced that I'll explain this eventually, what did I explain...?

"I'm sure I'll press it off with Lena's angel theory... but anyway, the seeds of trouble won't run out... wow"

While crushing such a thing, Meer blinked her eyes as she slept.

"But... you must be a little sleepy...I wonder if I've had a bad dream lately... "

Anne and the two of us alone.It feels kind of widespread... and a little lonely...Because of this, Meer has been sleeping a little worse lately.

"It's a strange thing.Until now, I felt rather cramped...Fufufu, you're such a busy kid.... "

Even now, I was looking for Bell in my room.

I feel like I can hear you calling me grandmother...

"I have to work hard for her too... fuwow..."

One more big yawn.

"Hmm, I can't. I'm sleepy.I still have to sleep when I'm sleepy. "

Meer lays down on her desk in the library and gently closes her eyes.

"Still, I still want some guidance.I could use a hint to think about it... but I wonder if it didn't fall somewhere...?If it's stuck around that bookshelf, or in the diary of the Empress...Ah, a history book of the future is fine.... "

Somehow, when I thought about it... it seemed like there was a golden light scattered in the back bookshelf, out of sight.

"Bell....?"

It was Meer who raised her face and looked at you...Was it an illusion? The light quickly disappeared.

Shake her head small and Meer laughs bitterly.

"Oh, my God. Fufufu, you're getting sentimental.You have to work hard.To be her proud grandmother. "

To make the world a little better for Meer's children and grandchildren.

To make the world that Belle awakens into a gentle world.

Because I think that the world where Bell can laugh and wake up is the world where Mea herself can enjoy happiness.

In this way, Meer's "journey of my first exploration" continues.

"But... even if you try hard, I still want some guidance.Or something sweet.... "

While giving up and crushing bad things, sometimes it goes on and on and on.

Without being anything but Meer, she keeps walking like Meer everywhere.

Where the journey leads, where she and her Empire go...

What kind of world will tomorrow lead to the moon called Empire wisdom...

No one knew yet.
