Chapter 20

At lunch time, Lacey and the others had a picnic in a clearing in the woods as usual.While they were chatting and laughing, Rossel came to them with his packed lunch.

"...Wang, uh... Rex, can I come with you?"

"Okay~" Lacey called Roser for questioning, and let Rhea and Lumer, who were sitting on the other side of Rex, give up an empty seat.

"... Excuse me." Rossel sat down a little cautiously, and then opened his things.

……

"It smells so good, what is that?" Lacey couldn't help it when she smelled the fragrance.

"Yes, yes~" Several pairs of shining eyes looked eagerly at the handsome white elf.

"Ah, it's the flavor of jam made from Fallan's specialty fruit." Roser suddenly felt a little embarrassed, with a slight blush on his face, stretched out his hand, and pushed the bread covered with jam back in front of them.

"Delicious!" I don't know who shouted first, and then several hands kept stuffing bread into their mouths.

"Rayle, you don't even give me such delicious food... woo..." Lacey complained to Rex with her big watery eyes.

"I didn't bring these things at the time..." Rex smiled helplessly, but Lacey didn't listen to his explanation at all, but continued to fight for food.

Rex shook his head and continued to enjoy his lunch.

"Ah, slow down...there are many more..." Rosal looked at them like this, a little surprised.Do humans ever have such innocence?

A good lunch time always passes quickly. After eating and drinking, you can lie down on the lawn here and take a nap.

"Ah, you are indeed here." Ed had something to do and didn't go with them today. Later, he decided to ask Rosser about the God of Harmony, so he looked for him everywhere.Later, I realized that this elf was always following Rex, so I went here to look for it, and I found it.

"Looking for me?" Roser was a little surprised, what was this person looking for him for?

"I have some questions to ask you."

"what?"

"Do you know anything about the God of Harmony?" Ed asked, taking out a ring hanging around his neck.

"Tolerance!? Where did you get it?" Roser was a little surprised when he heard Ed talking about the God of Harmony, because apart from races with long lives, few people would know about this God of Creation The twin gods, even the elves, except him, no one may know now.But this still couldn't match his surprise when he saw the ring.

"You really know?" Ed actually didn't hold out much hope.

"I do know a little bit." Rossel was silent for a while, then looked back in the direction of Rex and Lacey. "It's okay to tell you, but I want you to tell me what happened."

"This..." Ed hesitated.After all, it's not good to speak out without Lacey's permission, but he didn't say he couldn't. "Okay, come with me to the library."

So, after sorting out his things, Rossel followed Ed and left.At the same time, Lacey also opened his eyes.

"Hey, have you heard? A bard has come to our school, and we need to find some teachers and students to rehearse a play in the school~" Several girls said as they walked, "Ah, I really want to go Participate, it would be great if I can play the princess who is loved by the prince~"

"What's so good about a princess, the goddess of light is the best~"

"Yes, yes, I heard that the content has been finalized. It is the battle of light and darkness 6000 years ago."

"Ah~~~~"

Lacey shivered and looked at the screaming female students passing by, and sighed again, the excited woman was really scary.

Seeing Lacey looking at the female students who were talking, Rex asked, "Interested?"

"What? Ah, you mean the drama?" Lacey tilted her head and thought for a while, "Well, it's not bad to go and see, anyway, there's nothing else going on right now. Let's go, let's go and see~"

Following the crowd, Lacey and Rex came to the main square of the school. On the large temporary stage in the center, several people were performing something.

"Ah, there are so many people. Is that bard so famous?" Lacey was surprised to see that the number of people was no less than the number at the beginning of the school, and he sighed unconsciously.

"Hey, don't you know? That bard is very famous."

"Yes, yes, not only is he handsome, he has a nice voice, but he is also very talented~"

"I heard that he has elven blood~ When he graduated from school, his grades were the first in the school!"

"He's our legendary senior~"

"Uh, is that so?" Lacey didn't expect, there was no need for him to ask anything, all the people around screamed to answer for him.

"That's right~ If I can be the partner of Lord Icarus, then I will die now without regret~"

"Ah—! Lord Icarus——!"

There was another burst of screams, and the crowd swarmed towards the central stage. It turned out that the performance on the stage had ended, and the actors were saluting the curtain call, and the person standing in the middle even waved to everyone.

Although they were still standing on the periphery, the people who kept rushing over still squeezed Lacey into bumping around.

"It's scary... Is this the charm of idols..." Lacey wiped the cold sweat from her brow, thankful that she was still alive.

"No matter what race, there are idols worshiped, otherwise, where does the spiritual sustenance come from?" Rex looked at Lacey's distressed look amusedly, helped him tidy up his clothes, and looked at the people on the stage, "God's Domain Aren't the gods of the gods also objects of worship?"

Lacey was noncommittal. "Looking at it like this, there must be a lot of comedians at that time."

"It's okay, let's stand far away."

"Good idea." Nodding seriously.Yes, we should cherish life and stay away from crazy admirers.

Several people on the stage were helpers brought in by Icarus.You know, rehearsing a play is not an easy task, and you can't do it without help.This time the preview effect is good, as long as good actors can be found, this drama will be very successful.Other actors are easy to find, but it is not easy to find someone who will play the role of the Highest Priest, the Angel of Light.

While waving to the audience, Icarus searched through the crowd, hoping to find someone he liked.

"what!"

"What's the matter, Icarus?" Jonig, who was standing beside him, heard his exclamation and turned his head to ask.

"I found a good actor!" Icarus was so excited that he wanted to rush down to find someone.

"Calm down, we're on the stage now! Hey!" Ahhhhhh, this person couldn't stop him from being excited.Jonig looked at Icarus who had rushed into the crowd, and sighed with his hands on his forehead.I had no choice but to keep up.

The charm of Icarus is unparalleled among the students and even the teachers of Casamedin.Under Icarus' gesture, the crowd that had swarmed in voluntarily gave way to a path, allowing him to get out of the encirclement unimpeded.

"This classmate! Wait a minute!" Icarus yelled, and rushed to Rex and Lacey who were about to leave. "This classmate, I would like to invite you to play the role of the Angel of Light!"

As soon as these words were uttered, the entire square, including the boiling crowd, instantly became as cold as an ice cellar.

"Hey? Me, did I say something wrong?" Icarus looked at Rex with a cold face, very puzzled.

"You want him to play the Angel of Light?" Lacey was a little interested, but seeing Rex's expression, shrugged, "We still have things to do, let's go first~" After finishing speaking, he took Rex with him. S left.

"Huh? Wait..." Icarus looked at the two people who had gone away, extremely disappointed.

"Why did you just fall in love with him?" Jonig sighed, "Let's go, he won't agree to you."

"why?"

"Why didn't you agree to me? It's such a good opportunity. As long as you play the role, you will definitely attract the attention of celebrities from all walks of life. Your future is limitless!" Since Icarus was rejected last time, he kept saying Pounding Rex, asking him to agree to play.

"As I said, I'm not interested in those." Rex still refused coldly.

"As long as you act, there will definitely be many admirers!" Continue to persuade.

"I don't need admirers." Continue to refuse.

"As long as you act in..."

"..."

"His Royal Highness..." Rosal looked at Rex worriedly from a little distance away.Lacey, who was standing next to him, patted him on the shoulder, smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay~"

"But, His Royal Highness, he looks very embarrassed, I'm going to help him..."

"Hey, wait, wait~" Lacey pulled Rossel back, "No need to go, no need to go~"

"why?"

"Don't you think it's interesting to watch Rael like this~"

"..."

Well, Rossell admitted that Lacey is a very interesting person if you don’t talk about the matter of tying up Rex and not wanting to go back to Falan, but he is really helpless for his bad taste...

"Just tell you that you don't have to try again." In the restaurant, Jonig comforted the lost Icarus. "I know, you must have seen the super gentle expression he showed when he was with Lacey, right?"

Nod vigorously.

He picked up the coffee in front of him helplessly with an expression that I knew, "Ah, his gentleness will move everyone's heart no matter who sees it. Indeed, Flanders is an excellent candidate in terms of foreign trade or temperament. Alas , if it was before, he might agree. But now... even if he agrees, it's impossible to act the way you want. "

"why?"

"You just ask why..." Sighed, "I don't know exactly what happened. Although there was a lot of trouble at the time, there were very few people who really knew what happened. I only know Merhill was missing for some time, and Rex was looking for him like a madman, and when he was found, it is said that everyone who saw them was terrified."

"how?"

"The whole body is covered in blood, two people." Jonig rubbed his forehead, "This matter was suppressed by the school, but since then, Farland has become like this. So, even if Farland agrees I can’t do it anymore. Doesn’t your script include the love between the angel and the elf princess? Ah, that’s right! There’s another way!”

"Really?" Icarus happily grabbed Jonig's hand, "Speak quickly!"

"You can persuade Merhill to play the role of the elf princess! As long as you can persuade Merhill, then Flander is at your fingertips!"

"Does it really work?"

"Of course! Have you seen the light armor on him? He is a mage, why would he wear light armor? It must have been requested by Mosil! So!"

"So! I'm going to find classmate Merhill now!"

"Huh? Why am I going to play some kind of elf princess!?" Lacey yelled.

However, such fierce opposition was useless at all. Icarus clasped his hands together, still immersed in his own fantasy, "Ahhh, student Merhill will play the role of the princess, and student Flander will play the role of the angel, ah, that must be A beautiful and captivating love story~”

"what?"

"Oh~ Student Moshir, please promise me~"

"I do not want--!"

"Student Mercier——!"

"..."

"This is retribution." Rossel nodded affirmatively.

Rex watched Lacey's every expression and movement carefully, smiling gently as usual.
